The Joker's Gamble

"Chakra +10!" "Transformation proficiency +1!" "Physical skills +1!" The crisp system prompts echoed in his mind like music — not just any music, but the most beautiful sound he’d ever heard. In this twisted, sick world where weakness meant death and kindness meant nothing, Naruto had finally grasped one truth: only strength matters. Power isn’t a gift — it’s earned. Heaven Rewards Diligence, i.e., Hard Work is always rewarded! No more waiting for fate. No more being looked down on. If the world won’t change, then he’ll change himself — one grind, one point, one battle at a time. Let the world watch. Naruto’s rise has begun. ... This is a Translation

Someone put a bullet in my head. Joke's on them — it activated my system. Now I'm Tony Stark's forgotten twin brother with super strength, regeneration, and an adamantium skeleton. I fly faster than his suits. I hit harder than his missiles. And my motorcycle just turned into a woman with serious attitude problems. Obadiah wants us dead? He's decorating the sidewalk. S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to recruit me? I lead or I walk. They called me the useless playboy. Wait till they see what I unlock tomorrow.

Reborn into the world of One Piece as a helpless baby, El thinks fate has scammed him. No golden finger. No system. No guidance. But soon, the truth becomes clear— it’s not that he has no cheat. He is the cheat. With Observation Haki awakened at birth, a sword in his hands by three, and the Voice of All Things at five, El grows into a monster of pure talent. If Big Mom was born to destroy, El was born to cut—through steel, through fear, and eventually, through the very destiny of this world. From a nameless child to the nightmare of pirates and the obsession of Marines, he carves his legend across the Grand Line without a Devil Fruit— only a blade and talent so overwhelming that even the Yonko turn their heads. This is the rise of the Strongest Swordsman, where every swing of his sword rewrites the future of the seas.

In a distant past, the seven Ancestral Beasts clashed, and the blood they spilled rained onto the entire plane, infecting humans and animals alike, making them part of their powerful bloodlines. As a small village’s hunter, Liam was unaware of the consequences of that legendary battle. His sole goal was to become a cultivator to gain the strength and resources he needed to avenge his family. Yet, when Liam’s Ancestral Bloodline awakened, he uncovered a connection between his family’s killers and the Dragon King, a connection that could expand his revenge to the entire Kingdom. -------------------- Discord link: https://discord.gg/mefzf3aQJ8 Instagram: eocnovels X: @EoCNovels Cover artist: https://digitalrowye.com

When the universe awakens after ages of silence, it senses the Abyss approaching—an ancient void filled with creatures that seek to consume all existence. To survive, the universe must choose a Guardian Race, a species worthy of wielding its power and defending reality itself. But no race is chosen. Instead, the Awakening sends out a call across the stars, summoning countless civilizations into the Guardian Trials—a vast series of challenges that test strength, spirit, intelligence, unity, and will. Every competing species believes it deserves the mantle; every one of them is prepared to fight for it. Humanity, still young and relatively unknown, finds itself thrown into a struggle far larger than anything it has faced before. Surrounded by advanced empires and rival contenders, humans must rise far beyond their limits, forge unexpected alliances, and prove their evolution has only just begun. All races stand equal. None have been chosen. And as the Abyss draws closer, the universe waits to see who will earn the right to defend creation.

Ronin, a young billionaire and CEO of Overwatch Pictures, has it all wealth, power, and a company that’s taking the world by storm. But what the world doesn’t know is that he’s a transmigrator from another life, carrying with him the complete knowledge of the game Overwatch.

Tia has transmigrated—into the most unprecedented “perfect homunculus” in Einzbern history. White hair, crimson eyes, looks maxed out, the kind of top-tier pretty boy who could trigger every big sister’s protective instincts just by walking down the street. But that is where the good news ends. The bad news: this is the Type-Moon world. Less than ten years remain before the Fourth Holy Grail War—that tragedy destined to unfold—and the clingy little “sister” who keeps calling him big brother is named Irisviel. In order to escape being erased by the “Correction of Human Order,” and, while he is at it, save the foolishly sweet little sister by his side, Tia activates the Life Simulator. The way to earn points is simple: alter major events in the worldline. So, brimming with confidence, Tia begins his first random simulation, armed with the traits “A Constitution That Can Contain Everything” and “Perfect Lifeform.” Then the moment he opens his eyes— [Your mother’s name is Alcmene.] [Your father’s name is—Zeus.] Tia stares at the panel before him and falls into silence. “…The hell do you mean my name is Heracles?”

Akio Sekishiro is a fraud. The world sees a rising hero, a cadet on the front lines of Aurelia’s war against demons and the Verthasis rebels. They see a sixteen-year old boy of boundless goodness and unwavering idealism. They are wrong. Akio's "goodness" is a performance. His mercy is a mask for instability. And the harder the missions become, the faster his carefully constructed foundation begins to crumble. Alongside his friend Kai, who carries his own silent burdens, Akio must survive a world that refuses to cooperate with his beliefs. When the mask finally slips, Akio is left with a terrifying realization: the lie he’s been living might be the only thing keeping him alive. In a world of monsters and war, do you need to deserve life to keep living it?

He wasn’t meant to die. Forgotten in the void for a thousand years, he became something… patient. Something different. When the Supreme God finally appeared, it wasn’t mercy—it was correction. Three wishes. Now he walks through every universe ever imagined, unseen by gods, unbound by fate, and carrying a soul that even existence itself cannot measure. But the greatest anomaly isn’t his power. It’s him.

Ten-year-old Zielle thought life would be simple, just her and her best friend, navigating school and life together. When she realizes that both of them transfer to the same secondary school, she expects comfort and familiarity.

The friend she trusted most isn’t always on her side, and the lessons about trust, honesty, and growing up hit harder than she imagined. As friendships are tested and secrets are revealed, Zielle must learn to navigate a world that isn’t always fair, discovering that growing up sometimes means facing hurt, finding her own strength, and understanding that not everyone who smiles is a friend.
