Asterium
A world of tainted systems and shifting realities.
"Is the world truly corrupt?"
"Is there a genuine solution, or are humanity and even its gods trapped in cycles of suffering?"
In the fractured lands of Asterium, power flows not just from ancient nobility but through unique god contracts, granting abilities that defy natural laws and the Nichto realm.
Jorel Ujochi, a proud noble who is determined to reform the system from within later on, suddenly finds fighting invisible horrors, and god power individuals and also his own arrogance.
Meanwhile, Marichi, a masked enigma and 'slum gutter rat' who seeks to dismantle the system entirely, battles not just external abominations but the chilling voices of his past that prey on his mind.
Two sides of the same coin, Jorel and Marichi are forced into a world where their ideals are tested to their breaking point. As they navigate the unpredictable chaos of the Halflit Zones, battling beings that defy death and reason, beasts and humans as well, their paths--one for subtle change, the other for total revolution---are destined to collide.
Join their desperate fight for survival that affect all and a future they can barely imagine. Will their clashing ideologies lead to salvation? Or will the world consume them?
i can't wait to see how this progressess, I don't wanna drop any spoilers. but I am in love with what i have read already
Like the story so far, but is just a butterfly like switching from perspective to perspective it sends me in a bit of a spin, but other wise pretty good, good quality writing and characters. Keep up the work!
Hey guys... KeihatsuZero here... Hows's Asterium faring for y'all?
Hey there 🤠👋🏼, KeihatsuZero here, and writing a honest review about your own book isn't easy because of the time and effort a writer puts in their work, but here I go, wish me luck ;) (And if you also have questions about the book, don't feel shy to ask, I'll try my best to answer everyone) 🥸 1.) Yes this book does have two main characters and they are both boys that don't involve any BL or even a nod to it ❌. They are two different people with two different goals but the goals are both on the sams coin. ⚔️ 2.) One of the protagonists, Jorel, he's a noble, so he has just lived a pampered life and has a set of ideals set on him from a young age and has big shoes to fill. He is arrogant and pompous at first, but who knows, maybe he will change or maybe he won't, read the book if you're interested. 💰🤵🏼 3.) Marchi, the other protagonist, he is also around the same age as Jorel but older than him with some months, he's more cold and tactical but falters at some points and the thing he hates the most is nobles and anything royalty, so does that mean he's also an antagonist? maybe🙃? 😞 4.) The power system is something i put alot of thought into and I know it isn't new but I did innovate on it 🔥🔥🔥and I made it more complex and fitting with my story, so please do enjoy it.🤧 5.) The writing quality is where I try my best in but there are some areas where typos are common, but I do go back on previous chapters and edit them myself because I don't have an editor of my own at the point of writing this, but I do try my best even when I'm incredibly busy. ✍🏼✍🏼📝 6.) Is there romance? 🤔 Yeah there is, but not like the typical one, the romance in my book is kind of complex and you can consider it a slow burn but it's not part of the story but part of the characters and their growth. ♥️ 7.) There is no harem in this book, because not like it's bad because people have different type of tastes but I don't kind of seeing myself to write it because it doesn't fit the style of this story and more in general my favored writing style, but the MCs would be surrounded by people both girls and boys even some times beasts 😊. 8.) As for the strength part, It ties in my power system, in my world I'm trying to build her, no one is inherently OP or powerful, same goes for no one is inherently weak as well, it all depends on how they control the powers, efficiency and their applications of said powers. So yeah both MCs start off as "weak" but as they grow more both in age and other stuff, their powers also grow stronger and all in all it depends on them. 💪🏼‼️ 9.) The world building here is actually quite vast with many lore and hints for the readers to find out because like them, I am someone too who likes nitpicking on every last detail on either of it's anime, manga, novel or even video game lore. 🍪📚🎮📺 So guys, if you truly have any questions or anything to say, just notify in the comments and I'll reply within the best of ny capabilities 🙇🏼
This is a really good fantasy adventure, it's so unique but feels similar, don't know how to explain it...but kudos author...kudos
I love the idea of two main characters and how they don't feel static, a breath of fresh air from the other novels on here... anyone that wants to read it, rest assured, it's not a waste of ur time. .

Just caught up to chapter 38 and boy...It was a heck of a ride, like from what I've read anywhere I haven't seen the way these characters think(FYI I normally read novels on websites)...only in anime...The characters are so real and not dump, the character dynamics feel fresh, only thing that I don't understand is the world, it's great but I just don't know much of it yet. But all in all, it's a great book 📚📖 ❤️
This is now one of my most reads, there were some few mistakes here and there but nothing too jarring, the writing and vive just feels like if tbate and shadow slave got married, had a child but it's lotm thar raised it
Okay, this is a great book, the story isn't generic, I can't predict it, and it feels different from the rest...you update quite alright and what's the power system... I'm intrigued.
