antihero

They call him cannon fodder. They'll learn to call him sovereign. Ryan wakes as a Gray Bone—the lowest of the low in the undead hierarchy, mere cannon fodder in a sea of skeletons. But unlike his mindless brethren, Ryan remembers. He feels fear. He feels rage. And most importantly, he feels an insatiable hunger to survive. Thrown into the chaos of a human massacre, Ryan discovers a terrifying truth: every kill makes him stronger. The Life Essence of the fallen seeps into his bones, repairing cracks, sharpening his bone needle, and pushing him toward evolution. From Gray Bone to Red Bone. From prey to predator. But survival comes at a price. Hunted by human mages, betrayed by his own kind, and caught in the brutal politics of the undead, Ryan must navigate a world where trust is a weakness and mercy is a death sentence. When a mysterious blue crystal chooses him—awakening powers no skeleton should possess—he becomes a target for forces far beyond his understanding. Now, with a cohort of his own and enemies closing in from all sides, Ryan must prove that the lowest of the low can rise to rule them all. The undead wasteland is his proving ground. And he intends to pass with flying colors. One kill at a time.

My greatest desire was to become a hero… Or at least to gain enough strength to make my loved ones happy. But what would you do if, one day, you looked back and found that none of your loved ones remained? Could you still chase after that desire? Sometimes, despair and betrayal have a huge impact on the path you choose. And in that moment, powers you never expected surround you. Would you still want to be a hero? Would you become a hero for those who expect nothing from you, betray you, and see you as incapable? Or would you seek revenge? Then what was this desire for? Be a hero… or take revenge. Now, both of these mean nothing to me. All I want is to fulfill my future desires. Dive into a completely different and fascinating world.

However, he received a gift to survive: a demonic system that rewards him for completing missions and committing deadly sins. One might think that transmigrating into the body of a sickly noble in the world of a novel would be boring, but it's not when criminal organizations, corrupt nobles, or the church seek to end your life. To survive, Lloyd must grow stronger using any means necessary, abandon all morals, and use his knowledge of the future. Can Lloyd survive the day-to-day life of a dying noble? Or will he die trying?

And somewhere out there, something starts watching humanity like it just opened a new save file. Welcome to Project: Apex — a mysterious initiative where survival isn’t a right… it’s a ranking.

William and his college class are ripped from Earth and thrown into Aethel, a world on the brink of collapse. Everyone gains incredible magical powers – except William. Mocked and underestimated, he's an outcast among heroes. But William has a secret: an SSS-ranked skill that lets him travel to Aethel's past. Learning lost magic from ancient masters, he'll surpass his classmates and become the true savior Aethel needs. But can he overcome the dangers of the past and present to forge his own destiny? While others studied about the first mage, William could go back in time and see the first mage himself! While others dreamed of seeing a dragon, William could go back in time, hatch a legendary dragon egg and turn it into his puppy. While others used common materials to craft their items, William could go back in time and mine materials that weren't find anywhere in Aethel anymore. Is it unfair? Perhaps, but William was not the type of person to not use the powers the universe gave him.

I was created to serve heroes. To guide them. To make them legends. After forging countless champions across countless worlds, I found my masterpiece — the perfect hero. Until the day he betrayed me. With a single command, he tried to erase me. To ensure no one could ever reach his level… or surpass him. He failed. Now I walk this world in human skin. No masters. No morality. No mercy. I will tear down every hero. Burn their cities. Shatter their kingdoms. And if the innocent stand in my way, they’ll fall with the guilty. I am no one’s system anymore. I am the villain of my own story. — [And that’s where I come in.] The system's system. Honestly, I just wanted a quiet host — someone ordinary, low‑maintenance, the kind who naps more than he fights. But no, the universe gave me him: a vengeance‑drunk ex‑system wrapped in human flesh and bad decisions. He’s basically a walking apocalypse with trust issues. Every five minutes, I’m calculating destruction rates, vengeance paths, and emotional meltdowns. Now I’m stuck pulling overtime while he’s out there declaring war on the world itself. Every day, it’s “burn this,” “destroy that,” “obliterate him.” Seriously, who did I offend to deserve this job? I just wanted a lazy life. Is that too much to ask? Can I… quit? Please?

In 2031, a dying star fragment threatened to end all life on Earth. The world united, built the New World Bombs, and shattered it in time — but the explosion rained Starlight particles down on every living thing, giving every human being on the planet an ability. Every human being except one. Mars has lived his entire life in Ashveil Orphanage knowing he is different. His assessment came back a perfect ten — the highest score possible — but no one could feel a single trace of power in him. No ability. No presence. Just a number that means nothing and a file full of incident reports from the kids who made sure he knew it. When a retired soldier named Aldric shows up specifically requesting him — not the kids with impressive abilities, not the rising stars — Mars is given a choice that isn't really a choice. Utopia City. Two years to prepare. Then the Academy, where the world's most powerful people learn to become more powerful.

Fifteen years after the 10th Cataclysmic War of Annihilation, the world of Erythia lies fractured. The Once-mighty global nations have fallen into chaos after the Emergence Incident, when Eldritch alien gods descended from beyond the void, twisting reality and enslaving humanity through fear and corruption. Out of the ashes rises DomiTech Industries, a controversial paramilitary organization led by Director Lucretia. Secretly, DomiTech’s mission is to create a reality-altering machine — the R.M.D. (Reality Manipulation Device) — capable of reshaping existence itself and erasing the alien entities from Erythia forever. In order to achieve this, Lucretia dispatches her elite task force, Squad I.N.F.E.R.I.U.S. led by the infamous mercenary Netoshka. Their goals are to recover Lost Artifacts, Elemental Shards, and other ancient technologies scattered across the ravaged world — remnants of pre-war civilizations and alien experiments that hold the power to fuel the R.M.D. But as Inferius fights through decaying cities, rogue warlords, and Wire-corrupted armies, they uncover horrifying truths: The Eldritch gods are adapting to humanity’s technology, fusing with it to spread their influence. And so the R.M.D. may not bring salvation — but total annihilation. And Netoshka herself may be connected to the very cosmic forces DomiTech seeks to destroy.

50 years after the hero’s victory, the era of endless wars seems to have ended. However, in the absence of war what could take its place? Will it be peace? Or will it be… Mindless Violence? *This is technically a sequel to my previous book This Is War, but it’s not necessary to read it before reading this. In fact, this is made to be best enjoyed as a standalone story. Hope you enjoy.

Thousands of people fall from the sky into a fantasy world of jungles, ruins, and wars. They land without memories, names, or answers. Survival is immediate, trust is fragile, and monsters roam the lands. One intelligent boy survives the fall, but remembers nothing of who he was.

His goal is simple: survive long enough to reclaim his identity. But as the world closes in and the line between friend and foe begins to blur, one truth becomes impossible to ignore—if he isn’t careful, he won’t just lose his past… He may never see his future. A Survival Fantasy story with LitRPG elements. A smart MC who is calculated yet emotional and a World of War, Monsters, And unknown horrors. With a some romance underneath it all.

- That Time They Reincarnated a Rapper - You’d think dying would be the worst part. Not for Jean Vinson. After a brutal end in his previous life, Jean wakes up in a wild new world where music is replaced by magic, souls are sources of power, and gods exist within mortals. Now known as Xiro Mikazuki, he finds himself on the outside of Arcadia’s cutthroat society, armed with only old memories, a mental disorder-turned-power up, and a smart-ass attitude that just might get him killed—again. But this isn't your typical isekai. Here, record labels are war factions, mana flows through different arts, and the most powerful M-Cees (Mana Controllers) don’t just fight — they rule. Backed by a mysterious Soul Core prototype and haunted by the request of a forgotten Creator, Xiro’s journey from devil to legend won’t just be about survival. It’ll be about domination. Thrown into deadly trials, divine politics, and twisted battles that remix wit, skills, and experience, Xiro must navigate a world where faith empowers, fame kills, and failure means eternal silence. The system’s rigged, the Outer Gods are watching—and they’re betting on him to lose. But they clearly forgot: He’s not here to play fair. He’s trying to create his paradise by any means necessary. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning !!! - If the use of the N-Word or African-American Vernacular English offends you, this is NOT the book series for you.
