They say when you hit rock bottom, there’s nowhere left to fall. Yeah, that’s bullshit. I found a way to dig deeper. I didn’t exactly plan to die that night. I just stopped trying to stay alive. Twenty-eight years old, broke, drinking whatever didn’t taste like piss, working a job that barely qualified as “existing.” So when the alarms went off and everyone started running from the Eidolon attack, I just… didn’t. Figured if a monster was gonna eat someone, might as well save it the trouble of chasing. Except I didn’t die. Lucky me, right? Turns out the thing that got me wasn’t your average alleyway nightmare; it was an SS-Rank Eidolon, the kind people make horror movies about and then still underestimate. It was dying too, so instead of finishing me off, it did something no one thought possible. It crawled inside my head. Now I’ve got a voice in my skull that calls itself Dakavoth, sounds like a bored god and talks like he pays for rent in my head. Says we’re “connected,” whatever that means. I say he’s a parasite. We’ve agreed to disagree. So here I am, stuck between being human and something else entirely. Every day’s a balancing act: kill the monsters, pop the suppressants, pretend I’m not one of them. And try not to listen when the voice in my head tells me how much better I could be if I just let go. I’m not a hero. Hell, I’m barely a person. But when the darkness comes crawling out of the cracks again, and everyone else is too scared to move… I’ll be there. Not because it’s right. But because someone’s got to do it, and I already stopped caring if I make it out alive.

If you think the Murim world is a place to cultivate and become a hero, throw that thought in the trash and burn it. Here, there are no death days. The moment you let your guard down, that is the day of your death. Just breathing has become a luxury. So, what about Karman, a man who cannot cultivate at all?

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.

In a world full of superheroes, supervillains, mutants, inhumans, sorcerers, gods, demons, and cosmic entities, a new power was born.

[WEBNOVEL RISING STARS 2025 ENTRY] Broken Blade Ridge is not a place for the living; it is a banquet for crows and a graveyard for the weak. Here, the "Scarlet Iron Army" and "Wolf Riders" slaughter one another, leaving behind mountains of corpses. Shen Xuan is a scavenger — a legalized pickpocket of the dead. He has no spirit root, no background, and no future. Until he pries a black bone fragment from the cold hands of a corpse. It offers a path forbidden by the Heavens: The Withered Glory Reincarnation Art. To cultivate is to plunder. To live is to consume. While orthodox cultivators breathe the pure Qi of heaven and earth, Shen Xuan must gorge on pill toxicity, rot, and the resentment of the dying. He turns his own body into a vessel of decay to bloom a flower of terrifying power. In a world where human life is cheaper than grass, Shen Xuan makes a choice. "If being a human means being trampled, then I will chew my way up the Demonic Path, even if I must consume the world to do it." UPDATES: 3 Chapters / Day. Stable Release. For fans of Reverend Insanity and Renegade Immortal. If you are tired of hypocritical righteous MCs and want a protagonist who is truly ruthless, intelligent, and willing to sacrifice anything for the Dao, read Immutable Sagacity.

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.

Give or take. That’s ’s what this world was all about. But Lucien Carl Varvien didn’t give a damn. Reborn into a land filled with magic, dragons, and way too many nobles with superiority complexes, and blessed with unimaginable power, Lucien was perfectly content living a quiet life as an orphan servant in the Hierken household. Small, quiet, and constantly coughing up blood like a dying side character in a tragic play; Everyone called him fragile. He called it just another Tuesday. His hobbies? Doing chores, avoiding nobles, and scaring the spoiled Hierken brat whenever he got the chance. Everything was fine. Peaceful. Predictable. Until a ball went wrong. And an entire mansion mysteriously caught fire. To save his friend Lucien accidentally unleashed his power that made even the heavens flinch. Now his branded a miracle. But theirs a catch? Every time he uses his power, his nose bleeds, he faints dramatically, or coughs up blood. Lucien doesn’t feel a thing. But everyone else? They think he’s dying. Well... there goes his quiet life. Now suddenly, Lucien’s being called “Young Master.” The Duke’s family is crying whenever he yawns, his new brother keeps force-feeding him health tonics, and the royal physicians look ready to faint every time he coughs. What the hell is wrong with them?! He’s fine. Totally fine. So why does the Duke treat him like glass? Why are the servants acting like he’s on his deathbed? And most importantly— Why is the Emperor looking at him like a long-lost son?! Well... Hello! That's giving me the creeps. Lucien’s eye twitched as chaos unfolded around him. “EVERYONE CALM DOWN!” he snapped. “I’M NOT DYING!” But knowing his luck… he probably jinxed it.

Leo wakes up in a foreign world with no memory of his name, past, or purpose. The only thing he’s certain of is this: if he wants answers, he’ll have to survive. Forced into a lethal trial designed to forge assassins, Leo navigates a brutal alien landscape filled with rival killers, hidden agendas, and treacherous power plays. His instincts are flawless, his reactions precise. It’s as if he was born for this, though he has no idea why. As the tests grow bloodier and secrets begin to unravel, Leo learns he may not be just another participant, for whispers of a legendary figure begin to follow him, a being long believed to be dead, a God-Killer with no equal. Now a target of both fear and worship, Leo must master his skills, uncover the truth behind his identity, and outwit enemies who’d rather see him buried than reborn. Because behind the silence of his forgotten past lies a legacy too powerful to ignore, and a destiny that refuses to be denied. -------- NOTE - The MC in this story is a cunning vigilante type character who is morally gray and will often make questionable choices not befitting a traditional 'Hero' type character.

“In a world shackled by illusions of hope, mercy, and justice, one man walks the abyss to tear them apart.” Neron Valmore — a strategist feared as much as he is misunderstood. Wielding a scythe and the forbidden Devil Emperor’s Art, he bends reality itself. His presence crushes warriors. His gaze corrodes courage. His words unravel the certainties men cling to. Branded a heretic, Neron seeks not salvation—but conquest, blood, and truth carved in steel and fire. By his side stands Hina, the girl with a fractured soul—merciless to the world yet bound by obsessive devotion to him. Together, they dance on the edge between love and betrayal, innocence and cruelty, weaving a path that could reshape fate itself. But standing against him is Kelvin, rival in both intellect and ideology. Their clash is not merely of blades and sorcery, but of worldviews—hope against despair, illusion against reality, righteousness against truth too cruel to bear. As war spreads and the Devil Emperor’s seven tomes promise powers beyond comprehension, kingdoms tremble and legends are written in screams. And when the world believes Neron dead, his legacy only grows darker. For the abyss is patient— and Neron Valmore’s requiem has only begun. --- Themes: Dark Fantasy & Psychological Warfare Moral Ambiguity & Ideological Conflict Epic Scythe & Magic Battles Obsession, Betrayal, and Twisted Devotion The Weight of Legacy and Blood

The Abyss didn't just stare back. It hitched a ride. A gifted profiler meets his end, only to awaken in a frozen, merciless wasteland. Trapped within a body that is not his own, he finds himself a stranger in a brutal medieval society ruled by magic. But he did not cross the threshold alone. The monster he spent a lifetime hunting has followed him into the dark. Bound to his soul and whispering in the silence of his thoughts and dreams, she is no longer his target; she is his shadow, his critic, and his curse. He died a hunter. But in this life, he may have no choice but to become the monster she always thought he was. — Author Note: To clarify the pacing: this is a slow-burn novel. I want to properly flesh out the world and Brandt’s struggle before he becomes powerful. That said, I will be using time skips to keep the plot moving, so don't worry about being trapped in one place forever… Also, for those wondering about the ‘System’, it’s not just decoration. It will play a massive role later on. Brandt just needs to survive long enough to figure it out. Schedule: Here is a quick update on the release structure! Chapters will be longer, averaging around 2,500 words (+/- 10%). For the time being, the schedule is set for Tuesdays and Fridays. Expect 2-4 chapters a week, meaning there is a possibility of double releases on those days. Thanks for reading!
