This is the Infinite World. Also known as Infinite Space. When Armin opened his eyes, he was no longer in the world he had died in. The dead, he learned, are not granted rest. They are selected. Chosen by the Infinite World and cast into “instances” — living realities drawn from fiction, myth, and legend. Complete missions. Earn points. Ascend. Fail… and return to the moment of your death. His first assignment? Infiltrate Team Rocket. What should have been a high-risk undercover operation inside the most notorious criminal organization in the Kanto region quickly became something far stranger. Comfortable. Armin possessed no superpowers. No legendary artifact. No divine blessing. Only a razor-sharp mind… and a face unfairly blessed by fate. He slipped into Team Rocket with alarming ease. What began as infiltration became assimilation. Promotions came quickly. Resources flowed freely. His Pokémon grew stronger by the day. Authority followed competence, and competence was something Armin had in abundance. Undercover work was supposed to be dangerous. Instead, he found himself enjoying the steady rhythm of a rising executive’s life. Funding. Influence. Strategic autonomy. And access to secrets the Pokémon League would kill to obtain — including a classified project capable of shaking the entire balance of the Pokémon world. Time passed. Far away, within the Kanto Pokémon League, Elite Four member Lance paused mid-report. A faint memory resurfaced. Hadn’t he personally dispatched a promising young investigator to infiltrate Team Rocket? Talented. Reliable. Sharp. Then a new intelligence file arrived — a report from another deep-cover agent. Attached was a list of recently promoted Rocket executives. Lance’s eyes moved down the page. Stopped. A familiar name. Armin. Lance: “???” “I sent you there to spy on them… so how did you become one of them?!” But Team Rocket was only the beginning. When the Infinite World updates his mission parameters, Armin realizes a far more terrifying truth: The true enemy may not be Team Rocket. Nor the League. Nor even rival organizations from distant regions. It may be the Infinite World itself. Because the Pokémon Instance is only one branch. Other worlds are waiting. Other factions are watching. And with every completed mission, Armin moves closer to something far greater than resurrection — a seat at the center of an interdimensional game where entire worlds are nothing more than pieces on a board. In the Infinite World, loyalty is currency. Power is survival. And choosing a side is never permanent.

Rosaline, a seemingly ordinary salesperson—but beneath the surface, she is a 'Hunter.' In a world where dungeons are 'catastrophes,' the life of a Hunter is never their own to choose.

What is a monster? Humans normally define monsters as fear inducing, bloodthirsty creatures bent on destruction. But to Noah? Monsters were the humans who despised him without justifications, who taught him to loathe himself just for being human. Life was hell, a hell that was surrounded by “monsters”. Until one day, the world changed. Humans were suddenly graced by a Divine voice, one that warned of their extinction, but also promised them power. They were bestowed with a system, a system to aid their fight for survival, to survive against monsters. And when humanity was given that chance to survive, Noah chose to walk a path of a tamer, to befriend the very monsters that were threatening the humans' extinction. As he tamed the monsters, learned from them, bonded with them, shedding the last remnants of what it was to be human. Noah began to wonder, is it wrong to be considered a monster? Feedback is definitely appreciated, good or bad, let's make the story good together. I would like to note that the main character isn’t completely ruthless, he's more chaotically neutral. There’s a lot of good stories out there with ruthless, bloodthirsty, cold hearted main characters so if that’s what your interest in then I’m sorry to disappoint you.

Transmigrating into Tony Stark should have meant wealth, power, and limitless freedom. Instead, he woke up chained inside a dark cave, captured by terrorists and tortured without mercy. Not only did he miss all the luxury and glory—he inherited nothing but suffering. And worst of all… he didn’t know how to build the Iron Man armor. How was he supposed to escape? Just when despair set in, he noticed something impossible—

In a city where the rain never truly stops and power hides behind forgotten truths, Kael Veyne lives unnoticed — a quiet observer in a world that feels slightly… wrong. Then he begins to remember things that never happened. A battlefield that does not exist. A crown made of bone and light. A voice whispering: You have fallen before. When Kael survives an event that should have killed him, strange glyphs begin to appear around him — symbols no one else can see. With every fragment of forgotten memory he recovers, reality subtly bends. Wounds close. Time hesitates. Shadows obey. But each awakening costs him something. Memories blur. Faces fade. His own reflection feels unfamiliar. He soon learns he is not alone. Others walk the city bearing hidden marks of ascension — individuals who manipulate probability, rewrite events, and harvest fragments of a broken world layered beneath this one. And above them all is The Hollow Crown, an ancient force tied to Kael’s past life — or perhaps a previous version of himself — that seeks to reclaim its rightful vessel. As rival Ascendants close in and the true structure of reality begins to fracture, Kael must choose: Remain human and lose his power… Or ascend once more — and risk becoming something no longer capable of remembering what it meant to be human. In a world built on forgotten cycles, memory is power. And Kael may be the final echo of a god who once rewrote existence.

The apocalypse didn’t create heroes. It created predators. When the Abyss tore open the sky and monsters flooded the world, humanity awakened abilities to survive. Arin awakened something else. [Devour System Initialized.] Kill. Absorb. Evolve. Every enemy he defeats becomes fuel for his growth. Every battle pushes him beyond human limits. Strength, speed, regeneration, elemental authority — nothing is forbidden. But as his power rises, the system begins to change. Hidden protocols activate. Unknown entities start watching. And ancient Sovereigns whisper from beyond the rift. This isn’t just evolution. It’s selection. Only one existence can stand at the apex of the food chain. And Arin is done being prey. ⚔ What To Expect • Ruthless but intelligent MC • Clear power progression • No random power jumps • Dark worldbuilding • System + evolution mechanics • High-stakes battles • Mystery behind the system origin

It all started when they found out earth’s planet can grow trees. The world collapsed and cosmic entities, titans, angels, legends invaded for something as simple as trees. … Patents branded as humanity's traitor and deserters, Ragna was mocked, bullied, and spat on for more than 10 years. His only hope was during the Summoning Ceremony. If he could summon a Creature with high potential then maybe he could change his fate. However, his plan didn’t come to fruition when a chicken came out of his summon gate instead. His world collapsed around him and he gave up on living. It was at that point he found a Bronze Ancient Watch which changed his life forever. ———————- "What the hell is with this damned chicken!? W-what's it doing to my Three-legged Crow!?"

Why is it stomping my Dragon so hard?!" … Join Ragna on his journey to immortality with his Ancient Bronze Watch and his Summon by his side.

Fifty years ago, a shower of meteors descended from the skies. With them came a strange, colorful mist that wiped out ten percent of humanity and changed the world forever. Ten years later, the real nightmare began. From beyond the stars came the Abberants — massive, intelligent, ape-like creatures standing over nine meters tall. Stronger, faster, technologically superior, they declared themselves the rightful rulers of Earth and plunged humanity into a war it never asked for. On the brink of extinction, humanity survived only because of one miracle. Meta-Humans. Humans who awakened extraordinary abilities and pushed the Abberants back. Some shared their powers to protect mankind. Others hoarded them, turning strength into bloodline privilege. Ray Dawson was never one of them. Just an ordinary boy with an ordinary life, working in secret to save enough money to buy an ability book and change his fate — without his mother ever knowing. The day his dream was supposed to come true, everything was taken from him. An Abberant attack left Ray with nothing but rage, grief, and a shattered future. Sent to a brutal survival camp meant to forge soldiers, Ray’s life should have ended quietly like countless others. Instead, an accident changed everything. ... [Searching...] [Search Complete] [Ding! Trial completed] [All forms of pained endured by specimen.] [Soul and body compatible with the system] [Congratulations Host! You have successfully awakened the Tribrid System] ... Ray awakens The Tribrid System — a system that does not grant him a single power, but awakens three existences within him, each tied to a different bloodline, each with its own will… and its own strength. As Ray grows stronger, levels up, and evolves, he begins to merge these other selves into one body — unlocking power far beyond ordinary Meta-Humans. But the Abberants are only the beginning. Hidden truths, internal human conflicts, and enemies far worse than beasts await beyond the battlefield. This is the story of a boy who lost everything — and chose to become the weapon humanity needs. Evolution. Survival. Ascension. Follow Ray Dawson as he rises through the Vanguard, forms his squad, and walks the path toward becoming something the Abberants and even the world never accounted for.

Marcus Cole Harrison, a corporate analyst from our world, wakes up in the body of an Umbrella Security Division soldier just as the world is about to burn. He has inherited more than just a military rank; he possesses a perfectly integrated T-Virus that has bonded with his transmigrated soul. Unlike the shambling monsters or the mutated BOWs, Marcus is a "human-viral symbiosis"—retaining his mind while evolving his biology. Recognizing the impending global extinction, Marcus deserts Umbrella to become the ultimate variable. Joining forces with iconic survivors like Alice and Jill Valentine, he uses his powers to turn Umbrella’s creations against them. He isn't just fighting for survival; he is a living weapon designed to dismantle the corporation that started the apocalypse. In a world of zombies and tyrants, Marcus is the only thing Umbrella truly fears: their own perfection turned against them. The Virus: Integrated Powers Telekinesis: An active ability that allows Marcus to manipulate objects with his mind. It ranges from subtle distractions to crushing force, though it requires intense concentration and drains "Viral Stamina." Superhuman Physique: A passive enhancement of speed, strength, and durability. Marcus’s body operates at peak efficiency, allowing him to contend with BOWs like Hunters and Lickers in close-quarters combat. Zombie Command: Marcus can broadcast a viral frequency to influence or command basic T-Virus infected. This allows him to turn a ravenous horde into a tactical shield or a localized army. Antivirus Blood: Marcus’s biology acts as a living laboratory. His blood can be processed into a highly effective antivirus, making him the most valuable asset in the fight to save humanity—and the most hunted man on the planet.

Ancient forces stir, hidden secrets surface, and whispers spread across Bastions and academies. Because Kael’s Sigil is more than rare.

A young man is reincarnated into the Pokémon world as Giovanni’s son and sets out to become the new boss of Team Rocket. Under the name Damian, his organization shakes the region after the Saffron City battle, where several Champions are taken out of action. Amid rumors and scandals, he’s also accused of “kidnapping” Cynthia—but Damian denies it, insisting they’re together by choice and that she’s temporarily stepped away from the Champion role

Alternate timelines, alternate universes, alternate- Wait! I've said this before! But how? This is my first time narrating this story! This is odd... Everything looks fine, but yet so... off. Since when were Metropolis and Gamindustri anywhere near each other? And why are there suddenly ghosts running around? Do the Goddesses know about all of this? And if there's Metropolis, is there a Gotham? So many questions, and so few answers. What's going on in this Gamindustri?

Rael Voss spent eight years preparing for his Awakening Ceremony. He trained under a legendary father, memorized every Class Reference volume the Guild library carried, and drafted advancement plans for six different possible designations. The System gave him 【 RESONANT 】. The handbook entry is four lines long. Three of them mention other people. His combat stats are D-rank. His skills return errors when used alone. Every Guild instrument he has ever stood in front of has looked at his numbers and said nothing encouraging. By every visible metric, Rael is the weakest member of any party he joins, and he knows it, and he refuses to accept it, and he is wrong to refuse but not for the reasons anyone thinks. Because the System did not give Rael a broken class. It gave him the one class in recorded history capable of showing people who they were always going to become. He just has to stop fighting it first.

The world ended the day the sky burned. From the depths of hell, demons descended upon the mortal realm, tearing kingdoms apart and driving every race to the brink of extinction. Humanity, elves, dwarves, and beastkin—once divided by pride and blood—were forced into unity under a single banner to survive. In their darkest hour, the World Consciousness answered. It created the System. A divine order that granted power, classes, and purpose. Warriors rose. Mages ascended. Legends were born. And yet… it was not enough. Billions died. Civilizations crumbled. Hope became a fragile illusion. Among the survivors was a boy who lost everything. His family. His home. His future. Left behind with only a comatose mother and a world that had abandoned the weak, he awakened a power that should not exist— Divine Fire. A flame not meant to protect. But to destroy. Gifted with inhuman learning ability and a class unlike any other, he begins his ascent from the lowest depths of power. But the path to the top is paved not only with the corpses of demons, but also with the greed, betrayal, and corruption of those he once called allies. The System has secrets. The demons have purpose. And the flame within him was never meant to save the world. It was meant to consume it. In a world where gods are silent and monsters rule, one ruthless soul will rise— Not as a hero. But as the Ember That Became God. ------------------- Hello Readers, From now on I will be uploading 2 chapters everyday to insure stability.

In a world ruled by the strong, the weak are nothing but fodder. Kael Voss was meant to die in the dark. Used as a human meat-shield by the ruthless Black-Iron Syndicate, his only purpose was to trigger traps and feed the monsters of the Sunken Hollows so the elites could get richer. But when a deadly trap leaves him cornered and broken, Kael refuses to die quietly. His sheer will to survive shatters the limits of mortality, awakening a power the world hasn't seen in millennia. [Anomaly Detected. Seal Broken.] [Innate Trait: ENTROPY CORE Awakened.] Kael doesn’t just get magic. He gets the power of absolute consumption. The ability to devour the life force, stats, and abilities of his enemies and turn them to ash. Now, the hunters have become the prey. From the suffocating depths of the ruins to the shining, arrogant empires of the higher realms, Kael will tear down guilds, slaughter abominations, and dethrone self-proclaimed gods. He won't fight with honor. He won't show mercy. He will consume everything in his path until he stands alone at the apex. "Mercy is a luxury for the weak. Power is the only truth." Watch the rise of the Ash King.

In 2051, humanity holds Grade-F status, the lowest rank in a galactic hierarchy enforced by the Kael'Vorn Dominion. Rael Voss, eighteen and raised in the underground slums of Jakarta-Node, has been drafted into a military program with a 67% fatality rate. He enters the program with no allies, no significant augmentations, and only one goal: to survive long enough to locate the restricted file containing his missing mother's name. Unbeknownst to him, his body is uniquely prepared for this challenge. It absorbs every enemy augmentation it encounters and adapts with each injury. Dominion scanners cannot classify him, and those who can are already searching for him. Although the system ranks him at the lowest level, his body demonstrates otherwise. At the top of the hierarchy that has suppressed humanity for a decade, a woman who understands his true nature is waiting for him to survive and seek her out.
