Seekers Codex: Beyond The Abyssal Line

HennessyTheAuthor
*Original Story* *Strategy shōnen with seinen stakes* “Four rookies. One brutal Seeker Exam. A hard magic system that judges actions. What does it take to seek truth in a world built on lies? The gods wrote the laws. The Arcwheel turns, binding every soul to an endless cycle — live, die, repeat. But the wheel is cracking, and something ancient stirs beneath the waves. Kai Xander was meant to be a footnote in history — another nameless orphan swallowed by the ruins of a dead age. But Kai doesn’t know how to stop, armed with a flame that heals instead of destroys, hunted by monsters, fanatics, and false gods, he sets out across a shattered world to find the truth buried at its heart. In a realm where knowledge is power and faith is weaponized, one stubborn Seeker will defy fate, question divinity, and light a fire that even the abyss can’t swallow. Slow-burn character and system build until the Trial by Mercy—then Ryōiki(domain) duels and war arcs kick off. Seeker’s Codex: Beyond the Abyssal Line Copyright © Hazzybae (HennessyTheAuthor), 2025.

The Cold-Hearted Royal Guard

In her past life, Elmira was the ultimate shield—a top-tier bodyguard who never let her guard down. But even the strongest shield can be broken from behind. A single act of betrayal ended her career—and her life. Or so she thought. Opening her eyes in a filthy slum of a medieval world, she finds herself trapped in the frail body of a young girl named Maria. No weapons, no backup, and no strength. Just a gnawing hunger and a world that preys on the weak. But they are wrong about her. She is not just a helpless child. Deep inside... lies the mind of a veteran operative armed with modern knowledge. A sleeping beast waiting for the right moment to wake up. When danger inevitably comes knocking, the world will learn a terrifying lesson: You can strip a soldier of her armor, but you can never take away her lethality. From the dregs of the slums to the halls of the Royal Academy, this is the story of a girl who swore never to trust again—yet finds herself wielding her sword to protect once more. What to expect: Smart & Ruthless Female Lead: A protagonist who thinks before she acts and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Brains over Brawn: The MC has low mana capacity. She wins through strategy, modern martial arts (Judo/CQC), and physics—not by overpowering enemies. Psychological Depth: A realistic portrayal of trauma and trust issues. No instant "power of friendship." Magic Academy Arc: School life, but with high stakes, political schemes, and class discrimination. Weak-to-Strong: A steady progression where the MC earns her power through hard work and cleverness. Modern Knowledge: Using science to exploit magic systems. Cinematic Style: immersive descriptions. Perfect for readers who enjoyed: The tactical genius of "The World's Finest Assassin," the emotional depth of "Violet Evergarden,", the darkness of "Made In Abyss" and in the underdog triumphs of "The Irregular at Magic High School." If you are looking for a protagonist who uses science to defy magic and cold logic to survive betrayal, welcome to Maria’s world.
