Pawn of the unwritten God

Introduction
Ren Ashford was never meant to be chosen.
One moment, he was ordinary. The next, reality fractured, and a message rewrote his existence:
[YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED.]
Dragged into a deadly System governed by an unseen, god-like force, Ren is forced to survive brutal trials where failure means erasure, not just death, but complete removal from existence. In this Game, Players hunt, betray, and evolve… all for the promise of power.
But Ren is different.
The System glitches around him.
The rules don’t fully apply to him.
And the deeper he goes, the more the Game begins to break.
As he fights through nightmarish worlds, shifting realities, and enemies that should not exist, Ren uncovers a truth far more terrifying than death:
The Game was never designed to be won.
It was designed to observe.
And something beyond the System, the Unwritten God, is watching closely… waiting for him to become something more than a pawn.
Because if Ren keeps surviving, keeps evolving, keeps breaking the rules,
He may become the only thing the Game cannot control.
Or the very thing it was created to find.
Chapter 1
CHAPTER 1: SELECTED
Ren Ashford was not special.
That was the problem.
At twenty-two, he had nothing that stood out. No talent worth mentioning. No connections. No money. Just a cramped room, a dying phone, and a life that moved in circles.
Wake up. Work. Eat. Sleep.
Repeat.
That night was no different.
The power had gone out again.
Ren sat by the window, watching the dark stretch across the city. Aba never really slept, but tonight felt quieter. Off. Like something had been removed from the world and no one noticed.
His phone buzzed.
A single notification.
No app name. No sender.
Just a black screen with white text.
[YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED.]
Ren frowned.
“Selected for what?”
He tapped it.
The screen flickered.
Then,
Everything went silent.
Not quiet.
Silent.
The kind of silence that felt wrong. Like the world had been muted.
The fan stopped.
The distant generators cut off.
Even the sound of his own breathing… disappeared.
Ren stood up slowly.
“Okay… not funny.”
The room darkened.
Not because the light was gone, but because something else had taken its place.
The walls stretched.
The ceiling seemed farther away.
And then the second message appeared.
[WELCOME, PLAYER.]
A sharp pain hit his skull.
Ren dropped to one knee, gripping his head.
“What… is this,”
[INITIALIZING SYSTEM…]
Something cold slid down his spine.
Like something was touching his thoughts.
[NAME: REN ASHFORD]
[STATUS: ACTIVE]
[SANITY: 100%]
“Sanity…?”
Ren forced himself to stand.
“This is a dream.”
It had to be.
There was no other explanation.
Dreams felt real sometimes.
People said that.
This....this had to be one of those.
The third message appeared.
[FIRST TRIAL WILL BEGIN SHORTLY.]
The room vanished
One moment he stood in his room, the next, he was somewhere entirely foreign.
Cold air hit his face.
Ren staggered forward, barely catching himself, looking up he found out that the city was gone.
This place looks like a city, but something was different about this place, the buildings had blue colours shinning brightly.
Buildings leaned at impossible angles.
Streetlights flickered with a sick yellow glow.
The sky above was not a sky.
It moved much slower.
Like something alive was pressing against it from the other side.
Ren’s chest tightened.
“Where am i?” he asked no one in particular then he heard footsteps behind him.
Dozens of people stood scattered across the street.
Men. Women. Young. Old.
All feeling confused and afraid just like him.
A girl near him spoke first.
“Is this… some kind of prank?”
No one answered.
Another message appeared in the air.
This time, everyone saw it.
A massive black panel stretching across the sky.
[TRIAL 1: NIGHT OF THE HUNT]
[OBJECTIVE: SURVIVE UNTIL DAWN]
[PLAYERS: 47]
[WARNING: YOU ARE NOT ALONE]
A man laughed nervously.
“Survive? That’s it? Easy.”
Ren didn’t laugh.
Something felt wrong. Was this a test he asked himself
He looked around
Scanning and Listening to the environment.
That’s when he noticed it.
The silence.
Not total silence like before.
But something close
No one was moving, no birds were chirping ,no noise .
Then the final line appeared.
[THE HUNT BEGINS IN: 00:00:10]
Panic broke instantly.
“What hunt?!”
“Hey! What’s going on?!”
“This isn’t funny anymore!”
People started moving.
Running.
Shouting.
Ren didn’t move, he wanted to move, but his instinct held him back.
He stood quietly watching then suddenly
He started counting
Not the people but
The space between buildings.
The shadows.
The blind spots.
10…
9…
His breathing slowed.
If this was real,
Panic would get him killed.
6…
He stepped backward.
Positioning himself near a broken storefront.
One entrance.
One exit.
Less angles to worry about.
4…
The sky twitched, this time it was not the light or the cloud it was, something else,
Something was watching.
2…
Ren felt it.
That same cold presence from before.
Closer now it seemed
Interested.
1
Unexpectedly darkness covered the clouds
From the alleys
Something started to come out from the buildings, from places that were once empty, they looked hungry,
Then a woman scream caught his attention
Ren’s heart slammed against his ribs.
“Run.”
He didn’t wait to see more.
Behind him,
Something gave chase.
[SANITY: 98%]
Ren didn’t see the message.
But he felt it.
Something inside him had already started to crack.
And the night had just begun.

The chef’s face morphed into existential crisis.
I grabbed her arm. “Put the spatula down.”
“But—”
“Down.”
With exaggerated offense, she dropped the spatula and muttered, “Fine. But if no one here has artistic vision, that’s not my fault.”

From Substitute To Queen
Heartbroken, Sable discovered Darrell having sex with his ex in their bed, while secretly transferring hundreds of thousands to support that woman.
Even worse was overhearing Darrell laugh to his friends: "She's useful—obedient, doesn't cause trouble, handles housework, and I can fuck her whenever I need relief. She's basically a live-in maid with benefits." He made crude thrusting gestures, sending his friends into laughter.
In despair, Sable left, reclaimed her true identity, and married her childhood neighbor—Lycan King Caelan, nine years her senior and her fated mate. Now Darrell desperately tries to win her back. How will her revenge unfold?
From substitute to queen—her revenge has just begun!
HER ALPHA, HER SAVIOUR
Kane Hellboud, charm and wealth personified, wanted only me in exchange for her treatment. No cameras, isolation, or noose-like rules were part of the deal. Behind his smile? Cold, violent possessiveness that destroyed our fake marriage.
Most of all, I didn’t know the supernatural walked among us, hiding in the cracks of ordinary life. Not until Abel Stone stepped into mine—dark-eyed, sharp-tongued, and oozing dangerous promises. He’s my new boss. He shouldn’t make my skin tingle or my pulse race. I shouldn’t feel this primal pull, this illogical recognition that tugs at something deep in my bones.
Around him, lights burst, electronics fry, and something ancient in me awakens.
Kane feels it. His grip tightens, punishments turn brutal, and he hides the truth of what I am.
Trapped between two powerful men, I’m no prey, no pawn—no helpless victim.
Prisons burn. Monsters bleed. As for me? I'm the storm in skin—deadly beyond suspicion.
Lightborn: The Demon’s Bond
The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.
Ella never imagined she would marry the man she had secretly loved for years in such a way.
When her brother Theo faced twenty-five years in prison for massive embezzlement, the ruthless business tycoon James Lancaster offered her a deal: marry him in exchange for her brother's freedom.
This wasn't a fairy tale proposal, but a carefully orchestrated revenge. Because in James's heart, Ella was the culprit who had killed his sister Cecilia. He wanted her to pay the price—to atone with a lifetime of suffering.
The Dragon's Last Fae Queen
“Prince? Dickhead? Asshole? Or stalker?” A slow, dangerous smile curved his lips. “Maybe I should show you the one title I want you to use.” Before I could react, his hand closed around my chin, tilting my face up. His lips crashed into mine, hard, claiming, breath-stealing. When he finally pulled back, his voice was a rough whisper against my lips. “You could call me yours… because you are mine.”
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.

For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.

Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.

Ruined : You will always be mine.
“Fuckkk”, I couldn’t help but scream.
“You need to learn to be obedient” he said as he kept thrusting into me. When I felt his hands on my clit my body shook.
“Asher please, it’s too much”.
“No. if I really wanted to punish you, I would give you all of me”, he said against my ears and my entire body froze. Suddenly he moved and I was standing again. This man was insane.
I felt him behind me. “Ten Lashes for your disobedience”, he said
“Asher please”,
“No”. His voice was cold and void of any emotion.
Asher was what I wanted , what I truly craved until it was too late. An orphan should never fall in love with someone out of their reach. I thought loving him was the right thing to do until he revealed his true identity and Ruined me. I was ruined for everyone one else . I could still feel his touch, it was as if it was etched into my skin. I tired to avoid him but fate wouldn't let it happen.
