The Sovereign's Awakening

When death is just the beginning of a worse story... Marcus Reeves, a burnt-out 28-year-old IT worker, dies in a truck accident and reincarnates as Caelan Ashborne—the forgotten bastard son of Duke Valorian in a cultivation fantasy world. But this isn't just any world—it's from a webnovel Marcus read, and he knows exactly how this story ends. In two years, his mother Elara dies of illness. Three months later, he's murdered by his half-brother. Both deaths are footnoted in a single line: "unmourned and unremarked." Refused to accept this fate, Caelan discovers he has the Apex Sovereign System—a power that lets him grow stronger through combat, achievement, and bonds with others. Dual cultivation with trusted partners accelerates growth exponentially. There's just one problem: the only person Caelan truly trusts, the only one who's ever loved him unconditionally, is Elara—his mother. As political schemes intensify and assassination attempts begin, Caelan faces an impossible choice. Traditional cultivation won't make him strong enough fast enough to change their fates. But crossing the ultimate taboo—becoming his mother's lover to save her life through forbidden dual cultivation—will make them outcasts even among outcasts. From forgotten bastard to rising power, Caelan must: Master the cultivation system before his enemies master him Navigate deadly family politics where siblings murder for favor Build a faction from the estate's other forgotten children Steal away his half-sister from a cruel arranged marriage Face the novel's "heroic" protagonist who's destined to win Make impossible choices between morality and survival In a world where power is everything and family means nothing, Caelan will forge his own path—even if it means rewriting the very story he's trapped in. Love. Power. Taboo. Survival. Some destinies are worth breaking. Some bonds are worth any price. Also Appeals To: Readers tired of generic isekai Fans of complex family dynamics Those who want harem done well (not just collection) People who appreciate dark fantasy with hope Readers who like anti-heroes with genuine love interests Anyone wanting fresh takes on familiar tropes Content Warnings (Transparency): This novel contains: Incest (mother-son romance, central to plot) Graphic sexual content (R18) Violence and death (cultivation world is brutal) Morally questionable protagonist decisions Dark themes (abuse, murder, political cruelty) Harem relationships (one man, multiple women) This novel does NOT contain: Rape/non-con (all relationships consensual) NTR/Netorare (MC never cheated on, never shares) Extreme gore for shock value Mindless edge-lord behavior Sexism disguised as "realism" Reader Discretion Advised: If taboo relationships make you uncomfortable, this may not be for you. If handled maturely they intrigue you, welcome.

Global Disaster: I Will Slay Gods In This Second Chance!

[Global Awakening] + [Apocalypse] + [Multiple Disasters] + [AntiHero MC] + [Genius MC] + [Multiple Individuals Regress] + [SCP] + [Building a Force] + [Single Female Lead] + [Urban] February 28th, 2101. Nine ethereal figures descended from the sky. They called themselves the Apostles. As messengers of "God", tasked with the noble mission of testing humanity through the Ninety-Nine Era Ending Calamities, a cycle that every universe must go through. But... This was not the first time they appeared. It was their ninety-ninth reappearance. The first Era Ending Calamity, 30% of humanity died gruesomely. The second Era Ending Calamity, ghosts and demons wrecked the world. The third… fourth… Each one of them was as brutal as the last, and at the final Ninety-Ninth, only fifteen special individuals remained. These fifteen were the strongest awakeners in humanity. I, Zold Starks, was one of them. Our strengths were so great that we were calamities ourselves. But even then, the situation was hopeless. The survival rate for the Ninety-Ninth Era Ending Calamity was... 0%. At that moment, the Apostles spoke: "It is through the Undistinguishable that we live forward. It is through the Unknown that we fear what is beyond. It is through the Ultimate that we seek transcendence..." "God has spoken." "The Ninety-Ninth Era Ending Calamity..." Zold held his breath. "... is [Regression]." The instant they spoke-- Zold and the others vanished from the ruined world. === With one more chance... With a different, more powerful talent... Zold no longer thought about merely surviving. "Just you wait..." "I'll hunt each of you even if it's the last thing I'll do." This time, he'll kill the Apostles and their God!

I Became the Simp Character I Roasted Online

Listen to me closely. Never, and I mean NEVER, leave a hate comment on a game forum right before you die. My name used to be... well, it doesn't matter. I was a 34-year-old salaryman who died in the stupidest way possible. How? I got slapped to death for grabbing a high school girl’s "assets". Wait, hold on! Don't look at me like that! It wasn't my fault, okay? My hand just moved on its own! It was just a tiny, split-second intrusive thought! Come on, you guys reading this—don't act like saints. You’ve had those dark urges too, right? You’ve wanted to grab something forbidden at least once in your life, right?! RIGHT?! Anyway, she slapped me. So hard my soul literally ejected from my body. I thought that was the punishment. I was wrong. When I opened my eyes, I was in [Legends of Valtheris]. Yes, that trash game. The one with the cliché plot where the world ends because some teenage students get their hearts broken. And the worst part? I didn't become the Hero. I didn't become the Villain. I became Revan von Alstaire. The background character. The loser. The guy I literally insulted online five minutes before I died. I called him a "Simp" and laughed at his "Tiny D*ck." Fate is truly a comedian. Now, I’m destined to be the bullied lackey of the future Villainess, Sylvia von Vespera. The game script says I should lick her boots, accept her abuse, and die with her like a loyal dog. Screw that. Remember my last comment? "Revan is such a loser! Tiny dck! If I were you, instead of bowing down, I would squeeze her boobs and own her completely! Garbage character!" Well, it seems God took that personally. Fine. You want a show? I’ll give you a show. I won’t be a simp. I won’t filter my words anymore. I’ll let my intrusive thoughts win. I’ll turn this trash plot upside down—even if I have to slap every "Genius" in this academy to do it.

Sovereign of the Shattered cycle

In a universe governed by a lie, one man can see the truth. Murdered on the verge of a breakthrough that threatened to redefine reality, Dr. Alistair Kane expected oblivion. Instead, he wakes up as Li Fan, the weakest scion of the decaying Li Clan, in a world where power is derived from the rigid, sacrosanct laws of the Celestial Mandate. Here, cultivators follow pre-ordained paths to immortality, blissfully unaware they are following the programming of a cosmic dictatorship designed to harvest their potential and cull their ambition in cyclical Annihilations. Li Fan’s advantage is not a divine treasure or a legacy memory. It is a fundamental incompatibility. His soul, fractured by quantum death, is misaligned with the world’s innate operating system. This grants him Fracture Sight—the terrifying ability to perceive the flaws, contradictions, and seams in the fabric of reality. Where others see inviolable natural law, he sees exploitable glitches. But every exploit has a cost. Using his sight risks Soul Glitches: eroding his memories, corrupting his identity, and drawing the attention of the Heavenly Dao’s bureaucratic immune system. To survive, he must apply the scientific method to a world of mysticism: hypothesize, experiment, and iterate his own, heretical path to power. His journey begins in the treacherous politics of his clan, where he must use logic and perception to outmaneuver brutish rivals and uncover deadly conspiracies. It leads him to the orthodox Cloudy Sword Sect, where he must pretend to follow their "flawless" teachings while secretly compiling evidence of the system's inherent brokenness. There, he meets Su Lian, an outcast disciple whose soul is a celestial anomaly—a living rebellion that disrupts his senses and attracts Heaven’s wrath. Together with Jin Mao, a lazy, ancient spirit-cat whose memory holds fragments of the world before the Mandate, they form a trio of cosmic irregularities. As Li Fan’s understanding deepens, so does the scale of his conflict. He graduates from fixing flawed pill recipes to temporarily muting fundamental laws. He moves from clan tournaments to wars against sects, and from the Mortal Realm to the ascended Heavens themselves, not by passing tribulations, but by punching holes through the planar barriers. Pursued by fanatical cultivators, ruthless Celestial Inspectors, and the mysterious Karmic Weaver—the entity that maintains the script of fate—Li Fan must answer the ultimate questions: Can you free a world that doesn’t know it’s enslaved? Can you win a war against the architects of reality without becoming a tyrant yourself? And what is the price of rewriting the code of creation? AUTHOR: This story is also being released on ROYAL ROAD under the penname, Pigyyyyyguy.
