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 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.”
The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."

Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
