Lin Xuiyao has died once. When she opens her eyes, she finds herself back in 1966, at the beginning of a life she wants nothing to do with. She refuses to repeat it. When she finds an ancestral legacy, Xuiyao steps onto a path few mortals can ever perceive. Cultivation, the art of surviving heaven itself. As dangers come from both a mundane world and an unseen one, she must become stronger, faster, and ruthless. This time, she will not be cornered; she will not be prey. This time, she will cultivate. A Cultivator's True Path. ____________________________________________ Disclaimer The story begins in China in 1966 and continues into other worlds. It is not meant to be historically accurate. The novel contains violence, moral ambiguity, power struggles, and mature romantic themes, including dual cultivation. The relationships are created over time. The protagonist is not the traditional righteous hero/heroine. She will make choices that serve her purpose. Also, just so you know. Righteous cultivators aren't always that righteous.

What if Naruto had a twin, a shadow he never knew, a reflection of himself born into the same world yet shaped by unseen forces? In a village built on loyalty, obedience, and the illusion of order, one twin rises not to protect, but to expose the cracks beneath the surface. As subtle disruptions grow into undeniable fractures, the twin and Naruto find themselves walking a dangerous line between heroism and calculated manipulation. Authority struggles to maintain control, shinobi falter under pressure, and Konoha itself begins to question everything it has built. With each careful move, the twins force the village to confront its reliance on obedience, its blind trust in hierarchy, and its inability to recognize the invisible hand shaping outcomes. In a story where loyalty collides with principle, and observation becomes a weapon more powerful than force, one twin must decide how far he will go and whether the village's inevitable reckoning will save it or destroy it. The question is not whether Konoha will fall, but whether anyone will survive the truth.

"Haha, and they call you 'World's best detective', huh? A perfect crime doesn't exist? Foolishness, Batman, foolishness~" "Let me show you a perfect crime... Done countless times, heh~" In Gotham City, under the shadow of heroes and villains, a new name rises. Darren Greer, a seemingly ordinary high-school student, is secretly Kaitou Kid—a flamboyant phantom thief who steals under the spotlight, sends advance notices, and vanishes like magic. With impossible disguises, flawless planning, and audacious performances, he toys with the GCPD, outwits Jim Gordon, and slips through the world's best detective, Batman’s, growing net. He doesn’t steal for money. He doesn’t steal for power. What he seeks is something far more dangerous—the art of the perfect crime itself. As Gotham’s heroes begin to take him seriously, Kaitou Kid’s stage expands from museums to the entire DC world. Each theft is a spectacle, each escape a miracle, and each appearance brings him closer to the Bat-Family’s full attention. Gentleman thief or unpredictable wild card? Showman… or nightmare? Under the moonlight, the phantom thief smiles—because the real show has only just begun! ... If you enjoyed the chapters so far, you can now read 12 chapters ahead on Patreon. Patreon.com/serioza Think of it as ‘Advanced Intel.’ While the audience is still wondering how the trick was done, you’ll already be watching the next heist unfold. ... Points to note- MC is an anti-hero, specifically a “gentleman thief archetype,” not a villain. He avoids killing, bloodshed, and collateral damage. He exposes deception. He honors his own rules and promises. His conflict with Batman is ideological, not destructive. His enjoyment is in craft, performance, and intellect, not domination or chaos.

When the world fell silent, humanity was divided. Twelve percent of mankind fell into an endless sleep. Two thousand years later, they awaken to a world where blood is power and fear is currency. Monsters rule. Humans kneel. Ritualists slaughter. Yuko awakens without memories, unaware that the power sleeping within him does not seek destruction— it delivers judgment. In a world where mercy is punished and survival is earned through death, the greatest danger is not the monsters… It is remembering who you truly are.

The Apocalypse was not a fire. It was a song. When the Requiems descended from the void, they brought the Static. It was a corrupted frequency that mutated humans into monsters, shattered the laws of physics, and turned the world into a chaotic wasteland. In a past life, Ren was the Conductor. He was the only man capable of tuning the world's broken frequencies, reaching the absolute pinnacle of human power to fight the gods themselves. And he still lost. 100 times. Now, Ren has woken up in his 101st loop. But something is wrong. His memories are gone, wiped clean by an unknown error. He has no divine powers, no loyal army, and no identity. He is trapped as a "Null" recruit at the bottom of a brutal military academy, armed with nothing but a rusted pipe and a terrifying muscle memory for slaughter. To survive the encroaching Echo-Fog and the traitors within the human ranks, Ren must rebuild his power from scratch. He cannot just play the same song louder. To finally kill the apocalypse, he must break the scale entirely. He must become the Silence. The orchestra is tuning up. The audience is watching. Let the music begin.

Overview: You’ve probably read countless novels like this before. An extra is born into the world of a story. He joins an academy, meets the destined protagonist, forms a party filled with prodigies, and together-wrapped in absurd amounts of plot armour and the so-called Power of Friendship-they defeat a being that has survived for centuries. This is not that story. In this world, friendship does not save you. Talent does not guarantee survival. And fate is not kind enough to offer second chances freely. Heroes rise under the spotlight, villains die screaming in the dark, and those who fall in between are erased-forgotten by history, ignored by the world, and abandoned by destiny itself. This is the story of one such existence. Not a hero. Not a villain. But the fourth- The one fate failed to count.

Bred to be humanity’s Messiah. Betrayed into becoming its greatest Demon. Kai Stormborn died after exacting revenge. But death could not claim him. Reborn in the Primordial Tower. A battleground where Chaos and Order wage war. And Kai? He is neither. He is something far worse, carrying a Glitch — a forbidden anomaly that lets him devour magical creatures, assimilate their abilities, and evolve. To ascend beyond mortality, Kai must consume worlds, crush their champions, and rewrite their fates. He bends the Harry Potter timeline to his will. He manipulates the Great Houses of Game of Thrones like pawns. He fuses the very realities of Demon Slayer, Bleach, and more into his domain. His Breathing Style warps the laws of Reality Marbles. His mind becomes an Artificial Intelligence. His spirit wields the Will of D. Dumbledore fears him. The Akatsuki hunt him. The Gotei 13, the Warlords, the Jedi—all have stood in his way. All have fallen. Kai no longer walks as a mere Contestant—he is ascending into something Eldritch. Corpses stack like monuments in his wake and Timelines fracture as he upends the lores of the worlds. He does not follow Chaos. He does not obey Order. He bends Reality to his will. This is not a story of redemption. It is the legend of a demonic being who rewrote the rules of existence itself. But can you stomach what comes next? *************** No Harem.

“Life is nothing but a cruel game… and we are its unwilling players.” — Ethan Heart --- After living a miserable life cornered from every direction, Ethan expected nothing good from the world anymore.

Sheltered within his safe space as a gaming addict, Ethan never imagined his life would be turned upside down— The moment he became the first person in history to finish the impossible game… Ordeal.

The Curse of Night spread across the world, corrupting all living things—twisting them into grotesque abominations known as Night Walkers, monsters that ravaged everything in their path. In this ruined world, a select group of humans awakened powers resembling game systems. To survive, they must slay monsters, absorb souls, and grow stronger in a merciless world that devours the weak. --- Ethan became the final summoned player.

In a world where WWIII never ended and "heroes" traffic NovaBreeds for profit, the Renegades' leader gets his hands dirty. 2079: Nukes vanished in '83. Humanity blamed superpowered NovaBreeds—people born with extraordinary abilities—then enslaved them. Governments buy kids as weapons. Corporate heroes pose for cameras while the Big Boys orchestrate the largest auction yet: hundreds of lives sold to the highest bidder. Enter Lucius D. King: rogue NovaBreed master of hydro-manipulation, fresh off dominating the Big Boys' underground tournament—the very traffickers he's vowed to destroy. Now leading the Renegades from the shadows, he launches his infiltration: tear them apart from within, auction first. But lines blur. Heroes hunt him. Traitors lurk. Saving innocents demands killing "untouchables"—becoming the monster everyone fears. The heroes say killing is always wrong. Lucius disagrees. Evil exists that cannot be reformed, only eliminated. Mercy has limits. Justice demands consequences. The villains say only power matters. Lucius disagrees. Power without purpose is just destruction. Strength without conviction is meaningless chaos. The system says anyone outside the law is a criminal. Lucius disagrees. When the law serves corruption, when justice is bought and sold, when the innocent suffer while the powerful profit—then the law itself becomes the crime. There's a space between these absolutes. A gray area where the desperate operate. Where people do what's necessary while everyone else debates philosophy. Where hard choices get made, and the burden falls on those willing to carry it. Because sometimes, the world doesn't need saving. It needs someone willing to burn down the parts that are rotten. Updates: Wednesday and Saturday

Power is inherited. So is the cost. Neo Dragone has grown up in the shadow of his father, Jason Dragone — the most powerful man on the continent. Brilliant, restless, and dangerously inventive, Neo hides his potential behind technology and speed, never questioning the system that protects his family. Until it breaks. When a single act of violence shatters his life, Neo’s body begins to change in ways no science can explain. Secrets buried deep within the Dragone bloodline surface, and the world he thought he understood reveals itself as something far more controlled — and far more cruel. Taken to an academy built to contain the heirs of powerful families, Neo learns the truth: power is not a gift, but a liability. Observation replaces trust. Obedience replaces choice. And survival depends on how well he learns to endure. As alliances form and a dangerous new unit known as Team X is established, Neo is forced to confront what he is becoming — and whether ascension is freedom, or just another form of captivity. Ascension: Bloodline is a dark science-fiction novella about legacy, loss, and the irreversible cost of power.
