What would you feel if the last remaining happiness in your life—your cute, clingy dear sister—was murdered right before your eyes by a few worthless scum? By some bastards who shouldn't even exist in this world? I felt rage. Hatred. At them But more than that… I hated myself. Truly. Why? Because I couldn’t move. Paralyzed from the neck down, I could only watch as she died, as her blood spurted on me. I couldn’t scream. I couldn’t fight. I couldn’t even crawl to her, while her eyes were turning dull. Ah~ now they turned to me. Guess they are going to kill me too. But I don't want to die, at least not when they are alive. I've learned something in this time. In this apocalypse... weakness is a sin. The greatest sin. Here, no rights protect you. Not like they protected us before the apocalypse. No one comes to help you. Friends, neighbours, relatives.

The Transmigrator, Nishikawa Makoto, travels to a world where various anime elements are mixed together.

Just then, the Reincarnation Game descends. To survive, he must conquer various dungeon worlds! What's more, the powers obtained in the dungeon worlds can continue to be used in the real world.

A top assassin dies after killing his own boss, and instead of staying dead like he should, he wakes up in a cultivation world that feels like it came straight out of every cliché he’s ever heard about. Broken meridians, bullied by clan members who look down on him, a father who gave up on him for a younger brother with better talent, and an engagement annulled with a beauty… or maybe not that trope. Nothing special. Just unlucky. When he finally decides to leave the clan and find his own path, he discovers something strange about himself. People drop attributes while doing things, and for some reason, only he can see and interact with them. A cultivator repeatedly tempering his body leaves behind things like— [Strength +6] [Stamina Recovery +8] [Body Tempering Progress +5%] An alchemist wasting herbs and ruining pills over and over drops— [Alchemy Talent (Low)] [Herb Identification +15] [Pill Stability +7] A swordsman practicing the same technique until his hands go numb drops— [Sword Muscle Memory +9] [Blade Intent Fragment] [Combat Awareness +4] And when someone dies, the drops become even more ridiculous— [Strength +321] [Death ×3] [Physique Fragment: Jade Bone] [Incomplete Cultivation Insight] All of it can be picked up by him. He doesn’t need cultivation talent, bloodlines, or a master’s guidance, because while others spend years training, comprehending, and risking their lives for small improvements, he collects everything they leave behind, whether it’s stats, techniques, talents, physiques, or even professions. In a martial world where effort, talent, and luck decide how far you can go, his path is simple. Let others work. He’ll take the results.

[A/N: No smut. Moderate pacing, with a slight lean toward fast pacing to keep the story sharp and avoid dragging. Romance is secondary] ___ I transmigrated into a slow-paced action romance fantasy novel. You know the type. A naïve, righteous protagonist with a growing harem, invasive creatures to slaughter, a God to kill, and a guaranteed happy ending. And then there was the Mob villain. The jealous, exiled half-brother who goes full psycho, challenges the protagonist… and gets killed by his own fiancée. Yeah. That villain was me, Caelir Vayne. But everything changed when I awakened the SSS class and three op skills. Cloning. Copy. Fusion. “…Wait. Isn’t this a little too overpowered?” But something’s wrong. Why isn’t the plot following the story? Why are events spiraling out of control? And worst of all… Why is my fiancée, the girl who killed me in the original story, now staring at me like I’m the only thing that exists? Hold on. They have a word for this kind of behavior. “…Don’t tell me... she’s a yandere?” ------------ Updates: 12 chapters per week. Mon to Fri: 2 chapters a day. Sat, Sun: 1 chapter a day. ...

[The World Has New Rules. Disobey, and You Become the Prey.] In this new era, morality is dead, and "Fate Exchange" is the only law. ① Every cruelty is returned tenfold. ② No one is a judge; everyone is evidence. ③ The Beast God is watching. When the Beast God descends, the global hierarchy shatters. Every act of cruelty toward the voiceless is returned tenfold through a divine “Fate Exchange.” A lab technician becomes the rat under his own scalpel; a poacher is hunted in the skin of his prey. Amidst this global purgatory, a young woman finds herself tethered by a blood-red thread to the very monster she fears most. Is it a path to redemption, or a descent into a deeper abyss? The judgment has begun. Are you worthy of being human? “If it was your choice… I will accept it.”

"Battling young masters for some treasures in mysterious caves? No, thank you. What's so special about a ring containing an old sage's trapped soul? I'll just toss it away. Becoming a direct disciple of some big expert with many enemies? Count me out. I'll flip the bird to the pointless struggle in prestigious sects that only attract calamity. What I have here, this opportunity I've seized, is plenty for me. I'll choose safe and steady methods of progress, even if they're slow. After all, I'm just a simple farmer seeking peace through cultivation. I'll rely on myself to pave the way." - Aksai Everwood (Chapter 7) ============ Aksai Everwood was a terminally ill man in his past life who signed up for one last experiment and accidentally made history by merging his mind with an AI. Instead of dying, he woke up in another world with a new name, new body, and a magical farm. But this isn’t your average pastoral paradise. Spirit farming here means dealing with dangerous cultivation, chaotic realms, and the occasional reality-bending headache. Armed with neural tech, an enchanted farm that grows mystical resources, and the ability to travel between worlds, Aksai skips the usual sect life to blaze his own trail. From druidic powers to martial arts and body cultivation, he’s on a path to conquer many realms. ============ Additional Tags: #druid #bloodlines #Martialarts #worldhopping #artificialintelligence #coldmc #battlenovel #calculatingmc #villain #farming #spiritcultivation #mindcultivation #bodycultivation #worldhopping #rpgelements #low-keymc #sliceoflife #nonarrogantmc

“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. He was a failure .. good at nothing. A burden. Treated like human trash by society. And yet… he was exceptional at one thing. Games. That single talent earned him a name as the owner of one of the most prominent games streaming channels in the scene. 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. A dark Souls-like RPG with brutal, unforgiving difficulty and a living world that punished players for every mistake. “I saw the ending to the game no one was able to clear. But, when I came to my senses, I was inside of the game” The story of Ordeal was one of despair. The Apocalypse descended. And the Night Lord shattered the Light into fragments. 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. Forced to walk through Ordeal once again... This time not as a gamer… But as a participant. He must reach the ending that none before him could attain. “No matter how impossible it seems… I will conquer this game...!” Armed with complete knowledge of the world’s secrets, the instincts of a veteran player .. And the forbidden pact he forged with a Devil .. Ethan begins his journey. --- Blessings obtained: [The Legendary Weapons Master] [Class Change at Will] [The Demon’s Body] [The Blood of the Old Gods] [Insight of the Wise Raven] [Aura of the Lord of Night] With the ability to forge weapons from the souls of those he kills .. each imbued with terrifying ash of war , Ethan becomes the Legendary Weapons Master. But every deal has a price. Each blessing he gained came with a curse. And now, his body is a vessel for darkness. Can Ethan achieve what no living being has ever accomplished? Or will he become just another soul swallowed by the Night? --- Tags: #Evolution #System #NoHarem ... Join the Discord for character illustrations and more : discord: https://discord.gg/uNrXRgS3Xb

Lukas lived his entire life as a failure, always chasing empty thrills and never becoming anything of worth. When his life ended suddenly, all he felt was regret—regret that things might have been different if he had chosen to work harder. But death was not the end. Reborn into the body of another young man who shared his name, Lukas awakens in a strange and unfamiliar world. There, he gains a talent the world itself has branded as trash: a fragile undead skeleton with bones weaker than glass, a potential so pitiful it should never have existed. By all rights, his fate should have been nothing more than that of a laborer, struggling through odd jobs just to survive. Yet there was a twist. After his first battle, Lukas discovers that his skeleton can absorb the bones of other creatures and steal their talents. [Ding! Your Skeleton has absorbed the chest bone of an Epic-Grade Fire Phoenix.] [Ding! You have learned the innate skill of the Fire Phoenix: Wings of Nirvana.] And that is not all—it can evolve those stolen talents as well. [Wings of Nirvana has evolved into the Ultimate-Grade skill: Eternal Rebirth.] From that moment on, every enemy Lukas faces becomes nothing more than nourishment for his skeleton, pushing him step by step toward godhood.

Allen wakes up in the body of a fearsome crown prince in another world. He is considered extremely strong and naturally has countless enemies who want him dead. But soon he realizes three things: First that due to a previous injury, he cannot use his powers properly. Second that his transmigration in this world was not a coincidence, it was pre planned and that he is nothing more than a pawn in the mastermind's grand plan. Third that even though his family rules the entire continent, the outside world is much more vast and he is just a small fish in the big ocean. He must identify and outsmart those hiding in the shadows, uncover forgotten secrets regarding his own past life, navigate through dangerous politcs against fellow schemers, explore and conquer this cruel and mysterious world, maintain sanity and deal with internal conflict, while also recovering the original body’s strength. Events overview: Ch 1-12: Initial reputation building, identifying hidden enemies, dominating some fights while also facing a few near death experiences Ch 13-18: Huge lore drops, world building and plot twists Ch 19-28: High stakes War Ch 29-50: More lore drops, partial goals of the primary antagonist revealed and enemy continent's royal family infiltration with a fake identity, schemes, politics, and rise from nothing Ch 50-Current: Conquering the continent A few points: The first major arc has been finished (ch 28) and has a pretty satisfactory climax imo. The MC is not naive, he is intelligent, manipulative and ruthless, but not actually evil. This isn't all about power flex; there are multiple intelligent characters, and the MC is forced to use his brain in various situations. Side characters are not there just for the sake of it; most side characters are complex and get proper development before the major arc ends (ch 28). The villain has a proper backstory and goal, and isn't just there to be a stepping stone for the MC. I have added quite some lore drops and emotional scenes after chapter 10. The intro and first 5 chapters may feel a bit generic, but it gets better and better from the 6th chapter. One warning though, this is a dark and cruel world, and there are a lot of violent and terrifying scenes and body horror in this novel. Initial writing may be a bit weak, but I've fixed most of the previous issues in the current chapters The second major arc (Ch 29 onwards) is especially for those who don't want the MC to start at the top and dominate every fight with pure strength. As in that arc the MC leaves his home continent and starts from nothing (no resources, loyal people, identity, nothing). He conquers the other continent using his brain, through layered schemes and manipulation. But it still has fights and aura moments as the MC hates getting looked down upon. This is not AI slop, the whole story and dialogues have been written by me The MC is OP, but he also struggles in some fights (I haven't given him any plot armor, and the fights feel logical), and also gets outsmarted by others sometimes, there are more intelligent characters than him. The MC is not one of those who will spare his enemies whatsoever. Lmk your feedback

(All Chapters are on an average of 2000 words with many being around 2500 words) The world of Astralis is filled with magic, powerful races, beautiful heroines, deadly dungeons and of course, the prestigious Astralis Grand Academy. There’s one problem, though. This world already has a chosen protagonist. A system-wielding “chosen hero” destined to stand at the center of the story. But something goes wrong. Now, the heroines who were supposed to fall for someone else begin gravitating toward Nolan, the Saint of the Church, instead. The rankings meant to crown another start revolving around his name. And before long, the entire academy becomes obsessed with the one person who was never meant to stand at its center. Now, in a world where fame, power, beauty, and talent determine everything, Nolan has only one goal: To live freely, grow stronger, and enjoy life however he pleases. Unfortunately for everyone else, and especially for a jealous and increasingly frustrated protagonist who refuses to be named, Astralis Academy’s Saint may simply be far too attractive, powerful, and popular for the story to continue as originally planned.
