Zenon is a young man from Spezia, a high school student living a cold, routine life ,and faces the world with a dry, distant logic.

What should have been nothing more than a field trip turns into a catastrophe. Violence erupts, senseless and unexplained, and Zenon finds himself alone in the heart of the jungle, surrounded by death and secrets.

When Lucas Reed opens his eyes as an infant, he realizes that he has transmigrated into another world. Before long, he discovers something even more astonishing—he possesses an extraordinarily powerful Saiyan bloodline. As he grows, Lucas gradually comes to understand the nature of this world. It is a universe where figures such as Captain America exist, where Stark Industries dominates the technological frontier—a world that looks unmistakably like a Marvel reality. Just as he begins to accept this, a shocking revelation appears on television: news about Wayne Enterprises. At that moment, even Lucas Reed—a Saiyan by blood—cannot help but feel uneasy. Marvel… and DC? However, when soldiers come, he will meet them head-on; when floods arrive, he will block them with strength. Lucas decides that no matter how chaotic or dangerous this hybrid world may be, he will rely on his fists alone to make it understand one thing: The might of a Saiyan is not to be challenged. Author’s Note: This story is set in a newly constructed metaverse, separate from both the movie and comic continuities. Please read with this in mind.

From the start...the beginning ended...when the beginning ended...a hero was born!

Set in the Shadow Slave world...a time before Sunny was born...this story follows a simple soldier who must survive in a dystopian, apocalyptic landscape where magic and gun warfare collide. In a far-off Quadrant known as North America, a young soldier named Hope is 16 years old when he gets infected by the Nightmare Spell. He passed! But...he feels a bit scammed...? A flaw that makes him fade from people's memories... A cursed attribute that makes him remember everything endlessly in eternal wakefulness... It's as if the Spell is twisting his future and existence into an almost improbable one. All he has ever known his purpose to be was to serve as a simple soldier. Not too powerful. But not so weak either. And maybe, just maybe like some others, become an Awakened. Although he never dreamt of being one. Now that his whole life is compromised after his First Nightmare, his first objective is to survive on his own. But as he tries to escape his fate, his actions seem to lead him further from his goal. He struggles against obstacles that slowly grow bigger and out of proportion. Maybe the Dream Realm and the Real World aren't so different than one may think. Hope's journey involves uncovering secrets and gaining knowledge about his true nature and his new role in the world. Is he fit to be a hero? Could he redefine it? *** Please read the READER DISCLAIMER in Volume 0. This is my spin-off novel of "Shadow Slave" by Guiltythree. But please don't expect the same writing style, setting, and characters, especially the main character. This story reveals more about how people/cities/governments operate after the Spell’s arrival. I always find it interesting how maybe one country handles it fairly, but how others handle it with desperation to the point that you question humanity. There will be easter eggs pointing to the original novel either intentional for the plot or unrelated to it, but all for fun. I am a new author so props to all who bear with me and helps me improve my writing. If it is not for you, please don't leave outright hate comments. Eat wassabi instead if you want pain. Critique and advice would be great too. Cover Art: @ellieaedon I will be posting on RoyalRoad.com and on AO3 for some people's preferences.

Life exists in a constant cycle of harmony and destruction. Playing an ever active balancing act, in this delicate game two beings of God like nature oversee creation. Beings bound by the struggle of the universe

[ WARNING: SEXUAL CONTENT AND LEMONS ] After being enslaved by his own family for years, treated as utterly expendable, Cale Midgar finally caught his break when a fallen god offered him a contract and a Harem Bond System that would change everything. Years of servitude, humiliation, and restraint under his master's watchful eye... but now? Now it was his turn. (BEAR WITH ME FOR THE FIRST 20 CHAPTERS PLEASE! I'VE IMPROVED THE PLOT, STORYLINE AND MY OWN WRITING WITH THAT) With a Lust System that rewards him for every woman seduced, every noble daughter corrupted, and every cultivator's wife taken, Cale discovered the true path to power. Each woman conquered wasn't just pleasure—it was fuel. Their bloodlines, their talents, their very essence flowed into him, making him exponentially stronger with each conquest. The academy thought he was weak. The nobles thought he was expendable. The eastern sects thought the western continent would fall without resistance. They were all going to be very, very wrong. There wouldn't be a single lady of the academy—from maids to elite disciples—who wouldn't know his touch. Princesses would beg for his attention. Female swordmasters would spar with him just for a chance to be close. Even the cold, distant elves would find themselves drawn to his gravitational pull. His journey to absolute domination has only just begun, and immortals themselves will tremble beneath his power. What will you find in this novel? Explicit Sexual Content (Lots of It) Harem Building & Seduction Mechanics Lust System with Tangible Rewards Absorption of Bloodlines, Talents & Physiques Smart, Manipulative MC Rapid Cultivation Progression Beautiful Women (Lots of Them) An Endless Path to Divine Power

Five years after the battle of Hoover Dam, Courier Six was left in charge of the Mojave after Mr. House shot for the moon to restart humanity among the stars.

The Seraphites, once revered as guardians, have become rigidly dogmatic, struggling against their own fears and doubts about faith. The Netherites, a society of outcasts mutated by demonic influence, wrestle with their monstrous natures and the primal instincts that threaten to consume them. Meanwhile, ordinary humans are caught in a web of chaos, trying to carve out a survival in a world where monsters roam freely. Entangled deep in the web of warfare is the demon in question, Tristan. Contrary to his role in the prophecy, his arrival on Earth motivates him to seek freedom from the shackles of Hell. As the clock ticks toward the prophecy's fulfillment, Tristan is forced to fight against all factions, including his own brethren. Through epic battles and fierce self-discovery, Tristan learns that true evil isn't determined by one's origin but by the content of their heart. In Darkheart, the fate of existence hangs in the balance as the characters confront their worst fears and grow stronger, unlocking the potential within to become the ultimate force against the darkness threatening to engulf their world.

[WARNING:R-18|Explicit content, graphic violence, and adult themes] Ryan, a programmer who had always been a failure with women and, because of his job, never had time for dating due to constant workplace exploitation. One month before the release of his company’s most ambitious RPG, he decided to take revenge by adding a secret “bug” to the game. A hidden skill called Debt. Every time the support character healed or buffed a heroine, a mandatory debt was generated. An order that had to be fulfilled. And if it wasn’t claimed, the skill would execute it automatically. The company discovered the code and punished him by forcing him to work without pay to fix it. Exhausted and on the verge of collapse, Ryan dies of a heart attack before he can remove the bug. But he awakens inside the game. Now he inhabits the body of the Rank B support in a party of Rank S heroines… and the Debt skill is still active. Ryan will have a significant advantage, because not only will he gain the normal experience and rewards from leveling up, but he will also receive the additional rewards granted by the Debt skill. With an advantage no one else possesses, Ryan must decide: Will he become a tyrant who manipulates his companions? Or will he use that power to survive, protect them, and become the only support capable of reaching S-Class hero rank? Because this time, he won’t let anyone exploit him again.

"They called him the King of Destruction. For three hundred years, his name was erased from history. His body was sealed. His Grimoire was torn apart. And the world believed the monster was finally dead. They were wrong." Ares von Loweswater has returned. Three hundred years ago, he was the most feared Magus alive—the King of Destruction, a man whose power brought an entire era to its knees. The strongest Magi of the Kuro Era could not kill him. So they sealed him instead. Now, that seal has broken. But Ares has awakened to a world he no longer recognizes, with only 13% of his former power remaining and his legendary Grimoire scattered across the world. The World Magus Association knows he has returned. The strongest clans are searching for him. And somewhere among them is a weapon created specifically to kill him. So what does the King of Destruction do? He enrolls in an academy. Taking on a new identity and concealing his true nature, Ares enters the Global Arts Academy—the very place where one of the lost pieces of his Grimoire is hidden. But recovering it won't be easy. To reach it, Ares must rise through a generation of prodigies, survive the academy's brutal hierarchy, and eventually claim the highest position within it. All while pretending to be an ordinary student. But Ares has spent three hundred years imprisoned. Three hundred years learning. Three hundred years remembering every technique, every battle, every mistake. And even at thirteen percent of his former strength… he is still Ares von Loweswater. As Ares begins reclaiming his power, the world slowly realizes a terrifying truth: The monster they sealed three centuries ago didn't return weaker. He returned patient. And this time, nobody knows what he intends to destroy.

The 18-year-old Yamato suddenly found himself in the after life, but he does not remember what happened to him before this. However his reaction lacked the surprise or confusion one would usually expect from someone in his situation, as he would soon prove himself to be anything but ordinary. Having always failed to find meaning and passion in his life, his emotional numbness and tendency to view most people and activities as beneath him becomes apparent when he meets the angel Yuki. Meant to judge his life and actions, things take a turn when he tricks her into agreeing to a wager that would change their fates. Achieving victory over the angel, he acquires her devotion and servitude, though he soon discovers the true face her devotion to be pure obsession instead of the benevolence she showed him before. After a confrontation with God himself about his changed fate, he and Yuki are sent to a new world in hopes of finding what his previous world lacked: meaning. Yuki however has made it her sole purpose to win him over, baiting the slightest bits of affection out of him, genuine or not. Even just experiencing theatrical romance scenarios, which she artificially creates at the cost of others, becomes a normal occurrence. Though not reciprocating her feelings just yet, Yamato cannot stop himself from being captivated by both her beauty and emotional intensity, seeing her as someone who might finally give him the emotional experience he seeks.

After dying in a tragic construction accident, a man awakens in what he believes is a hosptal- only to discover he has been reborn as a newborn baby. Confused and trapped inside an infant's body, he overhears two workers discussing him as a "failed product" while transpoting him through a misterious facility. Unable to communicate, he watches in horror as he is carried toward a cremator and condemned to death moments after his second life begins. As the flames close in, he is left questioning why fate, God, or some cruel force would grant him reincarnation only to take it away again. THIS IS NOT A TRANSLATION. NOTICE:YOU'RE FREE TO DROP IT.

In the future of humanity, horrifying eldritch nightmares called the Abominations came from outside reality to invade and consume the entire world. Civilisation collapsed in months, and humanity was pushed back into living in a few fortified cities under one banner. Even though they were vastly outmatched, humanity’s tenacious will and deadly technology helped them resist the world’s end for years, and that willpower had convinced God to finally act. Mana had become a thing, and people started being born with superpowers called Blessings which finally allowed humanity to be able to put up a decent fight and have a fair chance at survival. In this new age of magic and divine blessings, Dante wakes up with a cracked skull in the middle of the forest, all alone, without his memories, and being the only one to have been cursed instead of blessed. His curse, albeit powerful, held a horrific price. He was immortal.
