Percival was once a hero, the Summoned Hero in the fantasy game world of Evernia, brought to save them from the wrath of the Demon Lord. After he did, he was repaid with treachery; with murder. But his story didn't end there. Percival regressed to the very moment he was summoned, retaining his max-level Swordsman Class while awakening a new, darker one: Necromancer. As the only dual-class Awakener, Percival summons Skeleton and Soul Soldiers, training them with his Swordsman expertise to become the fiercest warriors in all three kingdoms. This time, Percival refuses to be the Hero, even when the Kings offer him wealth and an army of Awakeners to aid him. Why borrow an army when he could just summon his own?

[System Activation Requirement: Death.] Veles never wanted to be a hero. He just wanted to survive. But in the Era of Gates, survival is a luxury for the rich and the Awakened. For a refugee like Veles, there is only the Mortal Legion – the cannon fodder of the apocalypse. To make matters worse, Veles is cursed with Soul’s Echo. He cannot tell a lie, and he cannot hide the truth. His mouth is a weapon he can't control, destroying his alliances and putting a target on his back. He has six months to prepare for his own execution. But death is not the end. It’s the tutorial. When Veles dies, he awakens as a Gravekeeper. His power? To steal the abilities of the dead... but only if he pays the price of carrying their sins.

On June 29, 2125, the apocalypse occurred on the very day of the launch of an artificial intelligence satellite launched by a world-class company called Pandora Tech. The purpose of this AI-based satellite was to control the world's automated electronic systems, including all internet networks, services, and free Wi-Fi. However, an hour after launch, the satellite returned to Earth and transformed everything—from machines, plants, animals, and humans—into half-zombie, half-robot monsters. A 17-year-old boy who experienced this event was rescued by a system and returned to the morning before the apocalypse. Having failed to save those closest to him, the system finally unlocked and gave him the power to become a werewolf, absorbing souls to transform them into Shadow Wolves. Afterward, he began to survive in the post-apocalyptic world alone, with only half his humanity and soul remaining, having failed to carry out a mission he knew nothing about. This is a war of survival between mysticism and magic against technology. Will he save the world or destroy it?

In 2050, a spectacular event occurred on Earth when ten astronauts were successfully launched to Mars to carry out an exploration mission. However, while carrying out the mission, they discovered ancient technology left behind by an old civilization on Mars. This technology was known as Genesis. Driven by greed, the ten astronauts seized the technology and built a new civilization—the Martians. As a result, war erupted between Earth and Mars, a conflict that has raged for four hundred and fifty years. ... A teenager named Morgan Kruger suffered a terrible fate. Not only did he lose his younger sister, but he also had to endure humiliation and beatings from his coworkers that nearly killed him. Yet fate had not abandoned him. Just when he thought his life was over, a mysterious plate appeared, saving him from certain death. Who would have thought that the plate was related to Martian technology, Genesis? That wasn't all. Morgan accidentally found a mysterious capsule that fell from the sky, containing an extraordinarily beautiful woman. As it turned out, the woman was the long-lost princess of the Martian Empire. Morgan’s life, once that of an ordinary miner, was forever changed. Fate had chosen him to alter the course of the war between humans and Martians. *** Notes: 1. This is a futuristic fantasy set in the year 2500. So, if you don't like this theme, you can skip it. 2. Since this is dark fantasy, don't expect the main character to always be happy like the main characters in other novels. 3. There will be strong political elements. The main character's enemies are not only the Martians but also humans. 4. This novel is not a harem. For those of you who like a single female heroine, this is right up your alley. I guarantee it. 5. It might feel boring at first, but trust me, it’s just setting the stage for something spectacular to come. That’s all, and thank you!

All he ever wished for was to live peacefully with his family — but he lost everything: his family, his home. He was betrayed. His eyes were gouged out, his arm shattered, and he was thrown into the forest to die. Yet he did not refuse death out of fear. He embraced it. But even death did not want him. His purpose and his vengeance would not let him rest. They did not force him merely to survive — they forced him to become stronger. In place of surrender, the darkness inside him awakened. Every wound, every drop of blood made him more powerful than he was the day before. “If the world rejects me… I will burn it all down.” Now, Noa’s goal is no longer just revenge. He seeks to forge a new kind of power, an entirely new strength… But all power comes at a price: he is losing himself, piece by piece. Where will he go from here?

"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.

The year is 2026. A devout Christian named Arthur Bennett wins a lottery to participate in a virtual reality experience at a high-tech company called Elysium. The program utilizes a VR pod to immerse users in a world based on a popular cartoon from Japan. As the other participants—a mix of personalities with varying degrees of Japanese animation knowledge—prepare to enter the simulation, Arthur remains the only one who has never indulged in anime. Upon entering this new world, he discovers an unsettling truth: if he dies in this world, he dies for real. Arthur eventually finds himself trapped in prison, unable to log out, and demanding to be released from the program. Calls go unanswered, and things become nightmarish, where hunger, thirst, hygiene, and even death are all real. Angered that he was deceived, he abandons all sense of logic and vows to become a villain no one had ever seen coming.

What would happen if a racist Demon King who nearly conquered an entire continent, pushed certain races to the brink of extinction, and carried out countless massacres were reincarnated as a human? The Demon King firmly believed that the demon race was superior to all others. Now, however, he is forced to live as a human, the very race he once despised and looked down upon. Faced with this cruel irony, what path will he choose? Will he once again raise the banner of chaos and plunge the continent into bloodshed, driven by his old hatred and pride? Or will living among humans slowly change his perspective, forcing him to confront the meaninglessness of race, superiority, and the sins of his past?

Adam was a nobody in his world, but after a mysterious accident, he finds himself in the dangerous world of Naruto. He doesn't have a bloodline or a Tailed Beast, but he possesses a power that defies the logic of chakra: Whatever he draws becomes real. From mythical creatures to legendary weapons, and even sentient warriors, Adam’s art is no longer confined to paper—it’s a force of nature. But as he witnesses the corruption of the Ninja Villages and the rise of the Akatsuki, Adam realizes that the world doesn't need another Kage. It needs a new order. Using his godly power, Adam founds an organization of elite warriors brought to life by his ink. Their mission? To do what the villages won't—protect the innocent and bring true justice. The Akatsuki brings destruction. The Zenith brings creation. With his brush in hand, Adam will redraw the map of the Shinobi world, one masterpiece at a time.

The world forgot him. Zalam was born into ruin, a survivor of the Daybreakers’ devastation and the neglected Rejects of society. For years, he endured in silence, carrying the weight of loss and despair… until the shadow inside him awoke. In that awakening, Zalam inherited the power of a fallen god—the Fallen Night, deity of death and exile. Shadows obeyed him, hunger surged through his veins, and the world that ignored him trembled. But power comes with a price: the gods are watching, and the very act of survival has made him a heretic.

!~~~WSA 2026~~~! "A teachable moment. The fragility of life doesn’t care what you want, only what you can do. SkillSense simply shows you the truth of yourself, of what you are, and what you can become. And the truth, little one, is rarely kind." ——————————————————— This is the story of one man's Ascension to godhood and beyond. Magnus Barlowe: Cult Leader? He'd wish it wasn't so. But when he plays an obscure game and is the first ever person to complete it, he's rewarded, or punished, with the most unexpected skill. In this world, skills are managed and recorded through technology known as SkillSense, and the people of the world place a hierarchy on those with skills. Meaning: The higher your skills, the more people respect you. But the skill Magnus just earned, SSS-Rank Cult Management, is not only two levels above the max S-Rank, but is also a restricted and mostly unknown skill to the world. What has the world got in store for this reluctant man? Will he deny his destiny, or jump into the path of being a cult leader and not look back? Follow Magnus along his journey through the occult in this tale of mysteries! ——————————————————— Author's Notes: As you may know, I'm also the author of Reborn with a Necromancer System, which has been a blast to write, Fractured Horizon, a slightly futuristic fantasy/sci-fi novel about mutated human monsters and psychics that battle them (currently on hiatus to focus on my other novels and my life). I also wrote My Undeath, a reincarnation novel set in a fantasy world. It wasn't my best work, but I loved writing the story, and I may get back to it one day. As long as you, my readers, are interested in this novel, I will continue to write it. Magnus's journey is capable of covering thousands of chapters across many years of his life. ——————————————————— Disclaimers/FAQ: 1. This story is set in a modern alternate Earth, where there is a technology that reads your best skills and reveals them to you. This is not a system novel, instead, the "system" is just a mathematical analysis of your skills that everyone has access to. But the MC is guided (not very gently sometimes) by the social media system known as SkillSphere occasionally. He is not a slave to it, but reluctantly follows it's suggestions for one reason or another. 2. There are no plans for a harem, or for multiple lovers over the course of the novel. The MC is a loyal, stick-to-one-person-at-a-time kind of guy. But don't worry, we won't suddenly see Magnus shift his entire personality just because he likes someone. He is who he is, and of course may change over a couple thousand chapters, but not in an instant. 3. This is not a cultivation novel, even if it has cult in its name. 4. Yes, the images and cover art in this novel are currently generated with A.I. This in no way impacts my writing, and if enough money is made from this novel, I plan to commission professional art for the title, characters, and some world building images. ——————————————————— Inspiration: The Steam game Cultist Simulator, was actually something of an inspiration for this novel. I played several dozens of hours, but always felt it needed something. I started working on a 3D alternate version of the video game to make it better, but it suddenly hit me that I could write a novel about a cult leader instead. I've watched and read several pieces of fiction with cults in them (quite difficult to find, honestly), and they usually grab my attention pretty well, and so here I am. ——————————————————— Support me, the Author: Please use coins/stones/golden tickets, or review my novel! And if you're feeling extra benevolent and want to help me turn writing into my full-time job so you can all read more from me, please share my novel or send me gifts with coins. Everything helps, and I can spend more time writing more chapters for you all to binge! If I were to win WSA 2026, you'd have me writing full-time for an entire year. Wish me luck!

Reborn as a human with no family, no purpose, or place to return to, Kurohane Retsu was accompanied only by a mysterious system that helped him survive. In the cruel world of cultivators, he sought no justice, formed no bonds, and sided with no one. He simply pressed on—devouring enemies, monsters, even gods—to survive. But as he neared death, the truth was revealed: the system was... Alone from the beginning, alone to the top, he became an unstoppable legend.

Kael, a corporate strategist who lived by cutting throats metaphorically, finds himself in the brutal reality of Arrakis after waking up in the body of Morvani, a low-level spice smuggler. He is the host of the Sand Worm God System, an alien interface that views water as corruption and seeks to turn him into the living embodiment of the desert. As the Atreides fall and the Harkonnens reclaim Arrakis, Kael navigates the sands not as a hero, but as a rising predator. By building a smuggling empire, controlling "blood addicts" through spice, and learning to command the great Shai-Hulud, he prepares for the coming fire. He is gaining a god-like dominion over the silica and the sand, but with every kilometer of desert he claims, he feels his own humanity grinding away. The System: Sand Worm God Sand Resonance (SR): The measure of Kael's connection to silica. This allows him to sense grain movements and eventually "shape" the sand into physical barriers, weapons, or structures. Drought Aura (DA): A passive moisture-absorption field. Anything within range—including living beings—slowly begins to lose water to Kael, feeding his power while mummifying his enemies. Worm Sovereignty (WS): The ability to communicate with and eventually command the sandworms. It starts with sensing their movements ("Thumper Echo") and peaks with absolute control over the Great Makers. Human Retention (HR): A critical tracker of Kael's remaining empathy. Using his more "monstrous" desert powers (like "Parching Touch") or making cold-blooded sacrifices for efficiency causes his HR percentage to drop, moving him closer to a purely alien, god-like state.

At the far north of the Atherno Continent, in an unknown village, Kyrian was born as a mere mortal. Weak, insignificant, and destined for oblivion. But he was anything but ordinary. Upon opening his eyes for the first time, they revealed an absolute white eyes without pupils or irises… and with them, an inexplicable innate talent. The ability to see what no one else could. His eyes didn’t just see the particles of spiritual energy, they could steal them. And more than that. Whether intentions, laws, concepts… everything before his vision could be taken by his eyes. When he stole his first Sword Intention, his eyes awakened to the path of the blade. Upon taking the Intention of Ice, another ocular pair was born. With every new stolen intention, his eyes changed, and new ones appeared. Kyrian does not hide them from the world, no, heeding his mother’s last wishes. He uses his gift without fear, with only one goal. To become strong by any means. (This is my first story, so don't expect anything mind-boggling. I just write what I think would be interesting and easy to read. English isn't my first language, so if there are any mistakes, please let me know so I can fix them. Otherwise, enjoy your reading)
