After evolving into Radiant Miris, Jin Mian forged his own divine path, comprehended true light, and stepped onto the road of becoming the God of Light. As for Tang San? In this life, he exists for only one reason—to be completely crushed.

What is this madness? I've been reborn in the world of Kaisen Jutsu. I've acquired Obito's Kamui technique. Furthermore, it seems I've become Zenin Obito in the Jujutsu world—a worthless, insignificant person with no special skills in life, and an outcast from my family. The only thing I'm grateful to the despicable person who brought me into this world for is that he didn't make me a woman like in that other stupid story. Now I'm trying to learn the cursed energy along with the memories I received from the previous loser in order to survive and not become the disgusting creature that Naoya Zenin calls me. It seems I'm literally his employee, a means for him to boast and become even more of a narcissistic bastard. Now he controls my life and is forcing me to join the Kyoto Jujutsu Academy.

From the beginning, immortals and mortals have been sundered from each other. Immortals have mastered their Tama, wielding their true power; holding domain over mortals. Mortals, meanwhile, still see Tama in the form of intricate jewels of various shapes, failing to bring out their true strength; also, they are slaves to death —and the immortals. Over the years, some immortals, who have been labelled as Yotram, have come to the Earth to stop mortals from being immortal. In their eyes, they see humanity as a food source, slaves and means of entertainment. After waiting for the Villain Rehabilitator to disappear, the Yotram thought that they would expunge all of LIFE's creations on Earth. However, their actions ended up creating individuals who seek to be immortal. The first, goes by the name of Lucien Derniere Étoile. Growing up, his life was a play in the eyes of certain individuals. Moreover, a flesh eating spirit was placed in his mother's body, so that they would watch him suffer. After killing his mother, as the only way to save her, Lucien voyages himself across the world for revenge. Also, being immortal is the best way for him to succeed. The second, goes by the name of Ten. As someone born on the rotten side of humanity, Ten never desired much in life. However, his thirst for knowledge brought him to the power of Entropy, which happens to be the weakness of all immortals. Guided by his curious mind, Ten continues to master the power inside him, drawing him closer and closer to becoming immortal. Although Lucien and Ten have different goes, they are bound by interest at first. Nonetheless, as they move, their bond grows, calling others to them. Also, they have to do everything in their power to stop the undying Yotram that stand in their way.

Under the leadership of the Master of Mankind—the Emperor—humanity has at last left its homeworld once more and hurled itself into the icy, pitiless abyss of space. They hunger to reclaim the lost colonies, and they hope to bring those who suffer in the darkness back beneath the radiance of the Emperor’s Light. In this moment, humanity still clings to beautiful dreams of its future. In this moment, no one even suspects what lies ahead. And the story begins on a distant, forgotten world called Nostramo. Kariyel Lokhars. You must remember that name.

William Conwell only wanted one peaceful evening: start a fresh Baldur’s Gate 3 run, make a character he wouldn’t hate in two hours, and, for once, actually get past Act I without deleting everything out of spite. After endless tweaking, experimenting, and contemplating his life choices, he finally crafted the perfect protagonist: Vrinn, a half-Drow Storm Sorcerer with wild white hair, storm-touched eyes, and zero facial hair. A sleek, striking, “I’m absolutely the main character” kind of look. He clicked BEGIN ADVENTURE. The screen flashed white. And William’s soul vanished from Earth. Across the planes, on the world of Toril, fate was twisting. A young half-Drow, Vrinn, had just been seized by Mind Flayers. Terror drowned out every rational thought as he was forced into a pod, a tadpole driven behind his eye. His heart couldn’t bear the shock. It stopped. His soul slipped away. And at that exact moment, William’s reincarnating soul arrived. Not gently. Not cleanly. But violently, crashing through the dying body’s fading life-force and slamming into the middle of the ceremorphosis ritual. The result was something the multiverse was not designed for. William awakens submerged in viscous alien fluid, lungs burning, mind fogged. Lights strobe. Flesh and steel writhe together around him. The Nautiloid groans as explosions tear through its hull. And something wriggles behind his eye. But what should have been the birth of a new Mind Flayer… isn’t. The ceremorphosis sequence was interrupted, its biological rewrite colliding with William’s reincarnating soul. Instead of transforming him, the tadpole is forcibly fused with him, its instincts mixing with his consciousness, its psionic blueprint overlaying his human soul. The Storm Sorcery meant for Vrinn is overwritten, the Weave itself bending under the strain. In its place, new magic awakens, cold, psychic, alien. A mind not entirely his own. An Aberrant Mind Sorcerer, formed from a merger that should be impossible. Dripping with mucus, breath hitching like a bad Wi‑Fi signal, and magic sparking at the edges of his scrambled brain, William hauls himself out of the pod. The Nautiloid is in full catastrophic meltdown mode. Somewhere, voices are screaming. Overhead, tentacles thrash through the sky like they’re auditioning for an avant‑garde interpretive dance. All he wanted was to hit “New Save Game.” Instead, he’s stuck in Faerûn, inhabiting a body that should’ve been deleted from the character creation screen, packing powers that read like patch notes from a bugged update, sharing headspace with an Illithid parasite, and nursing the sneaking suspicion that the universe clicked the wrong file. Still, if this is the glitchy respawn he’s got, he’ll make it work. Maybe even have some fun. After all, if the multiverse shoves a cosmic horror into your brain, you might as well see what kind of cool tricks it comes with.

After dying , Matthew Radcliff wakes up in a stranger's body in a grimy New York apartment. He isn't free; a burning brand on his forearm marks him as the host of a brutal "System" that issues mandatory assassination contracts. Fail to kill the designated target within 168 hours, and the System strips away his senses one by one. He quickly realizes he hasn't just transmigrated—he has landed in the John Wick universe, weeks before the Baba Yaga comes out of retirement. Radcliff must navigate the lethal underworld using the System’s unique, gamified abilities: The Marker: A supernatural contract that forces him to hunt specific targets under threat of permanent disability. Ghost Mode: A tactical ability that renders him invisible to all electronic surveillance (cameras, sensors) for short bursts, allowing him to bypass high-tech security. The Ledger: A real-time intelligence interface that tracks bounties, debts, and underworld shifts, letting him see the chaos of John Wick’s war as data points to exploit. Social Infiltration: A perception filter that allows him to read micro-expressions and detect lies, essential for surviving conversations with dangerous figures like Winston. Radcliff builds a reputation as a reliable, ghost-like operator.

What?! I have to kill powerful monsters and humans to steal their ability!

Copy skills from the dead and make them your own.} With the only way to grow stronger having to kill and plunder abilities, his talent might as well be more of a curse than blessing; as the stronger the ability the stronger the Foe.

In a world ruled by magic crystals, Luther Isan is anything but ordinary. After a twist of fate throws him into the pages of the dreadful novel Magic Crystals Reign Supreme—a book he loathes with all his heart—he awakens inside the body of a character so minor he appeared only once and was promptly forgotten. But fate has other plans. To his horror, Luther discovers he possesses a power long thought impossible: the ability to wield magic without the aid of a crystal. A gift so rare, it sparks fear, awe, and suspicion in equal measure. When he accidentally saves the novel’s protagonist, Luther is mistaken for the “Child of the Gods” and proclaimed as the world’s saint. Suddenly, every faction wants a piece of him—while all he wants is to run far, far away. Armed with nothing but sarcasm, bad luck, and a desperate wish to escape, Luther is dragged into idiotic situations, endless misunderstandings, and world-saving duties he never signed up for. And to make things worse, the true protagonists of the book have now been ordered to guard him at all costs. Can a man who just wants peace survive being the most “important” person alive? Or will the world’s fate be doomed… because their so-called saint is the ultimate reluctant hero?

A furious monster broke out of the canalization. Cars were flying. People were dying. And all Lily could do was hide and watch. She was only ten years old when a seven-foot devil slaughtered her family right in front of her. Monsters. Vile creatures driven by a single instinct. Watch humanity suffer. They do not negotiate. They do not hesitate. They only follow one rule. After the incident, Lily joined the newly founded Monster Prevention Program. She trained to become a monster hunter, one of the best humanity has ever seen. Her talent borders on terrifying. Her discipline borders on self-destruction. Every rule is simple. Every enemy is clear. Except for one thing Lily cannot explain. Something that happens when she loses time. Something she wakes up to. Something she refuses to name. And as the line between monsters and humans begins to blur, Lily learns the most dangerous question is not what the monsters are, but where the rule truly applies. What to expect: A psychological horror story focused on a single character A world at war with monsters but the war is not the main conflict A protagonist who is highly capable, but deeply unstable A story about trauma, guilt, and loss of control Minimal exposition, answers come late What it is not: A typical academy progression fantasy A power-scaling or ranking-based story A story where “training harder” solves the core problem

# Synopsis My past life doesn't matter. How I died doesn't matter. Only what I am now matters. I woke up in a dead boy's body with one mission: fulfill his last wish. "Kill the sun and weather gods," he whispered before his soul disappeared. I had no choice. A dying wish is sacred—so I accepted it. When I transmigrated, I gained a system and one skill: Absorption. My first target? The sun god, freshly reincarnated and weak. He was just a child. Killing him felt morally grey, until I remembered: gods don't die permanently, they reincarnate. He'd return in a thousand years. So I absorbed his core. [Congratulations! You have slain the Sun God and attained his blazing core!] [Title Acquired: Flame Champion] [Title Acquired: Godslayer!] Staring at those notifications, something changed in me. I didn't just want to fulfill the boy's wish anymore. I wanted to kill every god that exists. One god became two, two became six. Each kill made me stronger, I absorbed their cores, their powers, their very essence. But killing gods has consequences and unexpected rewards. For every god I slay, another villainess joins my side, each one bringing her own power to my crusade. Now, after six divine corpses, Heaven itself demands my head. They've sent their champions, warriors blessed by the gods I haven't killed yet, to strike me down. But I won't stop. Not until every god falls. Even if it means becoming Heaven's greatest enemy with an army of villainesses at my back.
