IT'S Hollow Throne

‎Kael Voss is nineteen years old, broke, and works the night shift at a city morgue because no one else would hire him. ‎He is not special. He was not chosen. He has no destiny. ‎ ‎What he has is a dead man's arm with a mark on it, a basement crack in the fabric of reality, and a debt counter on his skin that starts at zero. ‎ ‎It will not stay at zero. ‎ ‎Beneath the modern world runs the Rift ‎ a dying supernatural layer leaking into reality, bleeding hunger and monsters and rules that nobody wrote down. Most people never see it. The ones who do either survive and become something different, or they don't survive at all. ‎Kael steps through anyway. ‎Not because he is brave. Because he has done the math, and sitting still is already losing. ‎ ‎Every time he survives the Rift, he gains something. Strength. Perception. Abilities that have no name yet. But the Rift does not give anything away. Every ability comes with a debt attached, a cost calculated after the fact, collected at a time and in a currency he does not get to choose. He does not know what is collecting. ‎ ‎That is the part that should scare him. ‎It does. He just does not let it stop him. ‎HOLLOW THRONE is a dark progression fantasy set in the modern world. It follows one cynical, methodical young man learning to navigate a hidden war between the surface world and what lives beneath it, armed with a sharp mind, growing power, and a bill he cannot afford to ignore. ‎ ‎The debt always comes due. ‎The question is whether Kael is still standing when it does.

That Time I got Reborn as the Ultimate Lifeform!

WHY SHOULD YOU READ THIS RIGHT NOW? Tired of weak protagonists who grind for hundreds of chapters just to become slightly more powerful? This is the story you've been craving: an overpowered MC from the very first chapter who keeps getting ridiculously stronger with low effort, low suffering, and maximum satisfaction. A ordinary guy in his 20s dies after a lame heroic act — saving a stranger. While floating in the void, he complains nonstop about how unfair life is... and the universe actually answers. He soon wakes up in a brand-new body: a grey, shapeless, ever-shifting Shoggoth, a pure hungry flesh with no fixed form. No eyes? Maybe a thousand. No limbs? Or endless tentacles. Just endless potential. The sealed Chaos Goddess Edirup admits she created him by accident and laughs it off as a failed experiment. But this Shoggoth doesn't train and doesn't struggle. He simply eats, copies, and steals everything he tastes. One bite of a dragon and he gains its power and form. One gulp of demonic essence and forbidden magic becomes his. A second death now becomes just a joke. While everyone else sees a "harmless cute monster," he casually evolves into something unstoppable — all while genuinely wondering if he's still just average compared to the real monsters out there. In a world of arrogant heroes, smug young masters, and powerful factions, he turns every insult into fuel. Face-slapping? On another level. Those who look down on him get devoured, humiliated, or casually surpassed without him even trying. And the monster girls and demihumans? They can't resist the ancient, eldritch allure. Fierce dragonesses, seductive nine-tailed fox spirits, loyal slime queens, yandere vampire princesses, and more — they all fall for the one being who can truly understand and dominate their monstrous sides. A harem of beautiful, powerful monster girls who willingly submit to the Ultimate Lifeform? It's all here. No slow burns and no plot armor protecting his enemies. Because if you love overpowered protagonists who start brokenly strong and only get more absurd, constant face-slapping against arrogant idiots, and a story that never insults your intelligence with forced "growth through suffering" — this is it. He already suffered in the former life. This is the era of the Ultimate Power. You won't regret it. This is the story of the Ultimate Lifeform, period. He doesn't become a hero. He doesn't become a villain. He just is.

100X Returns System: All My Skills Defies The Laws Of Evolution

[Ding! You have slain the servant of death!] [Ding! The Constellations have grown wary of your existence!] [Ding! You have obtained a Soul Shard!] [Ding! System Multiplier has taken effect... 100X Returns enhancement initialized!] [Ding! You have obtained the Fragment of Origin!] Once a dirt poor orphan, Rentaro woke up only to discover that he was no longer the kid barely surviving off the scraps on the street, but an 18 year old boy in a world where civilization had collapsed . The life he knew had vanished, replaced by a game-like world where humans were thrusted into the Sanctuary — a streaming platform for the gods where human survival served as entertainment to them. In the Sanctuary where Soul Awakeners streamed their kills and achievements in order to evolve and survive, he was at the bottom of the food chain. While everyone awakened talents beyond comprehension, he ended up as the punchline whose death and suffering became the highlights of the sanctuary. But while others abandoned and sacrificed him to the monsters of the abyss, they had no idea that a single mechanical voice had already rewritten his fate. [Ding!You have bypassed the Developers Code! Congratulations! You have obtained a unique cheat: 100X Returns System!] [A constellation is intrigued by your will to survive!] [Ding! You have been marked by a constellation!] [Ding! System Multiplier has taken effect... 100X Returns enhancement initialized!] [Your F-tier Talent has evolved into the SSS-Tier Skill — Temporal Sovereign!] With a talent that allowed him to defy all possible limits, he rose step by step beyond what anyone thought possible. And in the sanctuary where the weak served as food for the monsters of the abyss and entertainment to the gods, Rentaro clawed his way from the failure that was destined to die, to an existence that left legends buried beneath his feet. While others struggled to adapt and survive in the sanctuary, Rentaro became evolution itself. Dragons, demons, elves, even the gods? They weren't the dangers of the sanctuary anymore. "This time, your survival will be determined by my authority.”

Rise of the Forbidden Monarch

The core of this story thrives on the collision between cold, industrial logic and ancient, forbidden power. Unlike typical tales where magic is a chaotic force of nature, Kaito treats the "Dark Origin" like a specialized construction material with unique properties like zero-mass density or infinite durability. This creates a narrative where the protagonist doesn't solve problems by shouting louder or unlocking a "friendship" power; he solves them through logistical superiority and structural integrity. The horror of the Holy Church isn't that Kaito is a monster, but that he is an optimizer who views their thousand-year-old in game world. oppressive architecture as an inefficient design flaw that needs to be demolished and replaced. The scarcity of his summons turns every encounter into a high-stakes puzzle where his engineering degree is just as vital as his mana pool. Since he only gains a new unit every five levels, he cannot rely on the "overwhelming horde" trope that defines most necromancers. Instead, he must "over-engineer" his few available summons, treating a single Weak Evil Warrior like a piece of heavy machinery that must be maintained, upgraded, and used for multiple roles—from a literal load-bearing pillar in a collapsing mine to a frontline vanguard. This creates a grounded, gritty atmosphere where the "System" feels less like a game and more like a set of laws of physics that Kaito is actively hacking to rebuild a broken world from the foundation up.

The Non-Human Family in the Apocalypse

When we think about the end of the world these days, we usually think of some idiot in politics who doesn't really care about people and most likely has serious problems in his head, and simply presses the apocalypse button, and people are forced to live the next few years as diggers in the ruins of the world until things return to "normal" several generations later. Or the fierce result of climate change that causes irreparable natural disasters to humans and a new pandemic occurs like the one in 2020-2022 and, once again, we are back to being diggers. Or an unforeseen meteor that comes towards Earth before any government can do anything and gives us the same end as the dinosaurs, even if one part could still be saved by spending a lot of money and the other part would be left to the “lucky ones” to fend for themselves and go back to the diggers until things “return to normal” (maybe in this case, it would be faster than before but it would still take a long time). And finally, we have the astronomically small chances that it could be a combination of all this together with the release of a zombie virus that some idiot tested to maybe cure diseases, achieve immortality or just for the hell of it. The fact is, virtually no one expects the end of the world to come in the form of a fantasy Armageddon. Where some entity allows mana to enter the world and this opens portals through which fantasy monsters begin to appear, destroying and devouring everything they see in front of them. There are even RPG-style systems with missions, even if this would cause some humans to change irreversibly. But well, I've already talked a lot and look, I still have to finish my daily missions in addition to helping my father with the generator and going hunting for something to eat. Maybe I can catch an orc and see if their blood is as inedible as that of a goblin (it looks like semi-cured meat with raw eggs and liquefied fish oil). Sometimes I wish I had become a pixie like my sister. Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself, nice to meet you, my name is Fernando or just Fer or Nando, and I'm not human. Well, I'm not anymore, at least not me, nor my family to tell the truth, now I'm a 22-year-old Dhampir with some cool skills, and as for my family... you'll meet them in a little while.

[MCU x HP] Reborn as Hermione: Spamming the Killing Curse!

Waking up in a new body is disorienting. Waking up as Hermione Granger—the brightest witch of her age—is a surprise. But realizing you aren't in Hogwarts, but standing in the middle of Tony Stark's New York? Complete panic. Fortunately, "Hermione" isn't empty-handed. Bound to a mysterious Grimoire that allows her to jump between the Wizarding World and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she realizes one absolute truth: playing the good girl is for losers. Why bother with complex science and superhero morals when the Unforgivable Curses exist? Avada Kedavra solves 99% of her problems. For the remaining 1%, there's Imperio. Tony Stark: "J.A.R.V.I.S., it's time to design the Anti-Wizard Armor." Hermione: (smirks) "You mean the scrap metal that breaks the second you put it on?" Hulk: "HULK SMASH!" Hermione: (raises wand) "Shut it, green guy, or I'll cast Expelliarmus on your pants!" The Ancient One: "You are an anomaly. A sorcerer who does not belong on this timeline..." Hermione: "Let me correct you, baldy. I am a Wizard." Nick Fury: (eye twitching) "Where exactly are you from?" Hermione: (adjusts robes innocently) "Me? I'm just a simple exchange student from Hogwarts." Armed with unparalleled acting skills, a ruthless inner demon, and a wand that flashes green way too often, the MCU is about to learn why you never mess with a Dark Witch in sheep's clothing. [Features] World Hopping: Seamlessly travel between HP & MCU! Two-Faced MC: Innocent schoolgirl on the outside, ruthless Dark Lord on the inside. Magic vs. Tech: Watch science try (and fail) to explain Unforgivable Curses. Elite Banter: Sarcastic, unapologetic, and totally overpowered.

The Pondering Knight

"It was the 20th of September. I was on this little hill with my friend, stargazing. I don't remember why we were there, but it was probably me who brought us there. Ari... oh, he used to love a ruckus. So, being in a serene, quiet area... that's me written all over it. Anyway, I clearly remember looking at the moon and complimenting what a beautiful crescent it was. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I see something crazy—like, batshit insane. This purple... supernova, whatever, came and just crashed into a star... And after that, the sky was purple. And it was gorgeous... But what followed next crushed me. I felt pain, hopelessness, despair, anger, everything... and I really mean, every bloody emotion... just crash into me from every damned angle. Why, you ask? Well, this purple crash brought this purple gas to Earth. Eh, it's called Magike. And like a dirty parasite... it just corrupted us, man. People turned into monsters and pets into these ugly, horrendous beasts. These massive cities that used to bustle with people, everything... turned into ruins. And those that survived were mentally scarred. And, with the monsters roaming around, physically as well. I lost many friends. And let me tell you this: I hope God, or whatever is out there, protects you from ever facing such a loss... I don't want to talk about these losses now. Anyway, I was saved. Well, I was chosen, rather. By survivors and—cue the drumrolls—by a 'god-like' figure. He hates calling himself a god. You have heard about him. It's the greatest Titan... Oh, come on, not Chronos. It's Atlas, dude. Yep, he chose me. And I now navigate this world with his help, and fight on with new people beside me. Yeah, hopefully I don't die soon. And, hopefully, I get to debrief once more... Also, before I go, shoutout to Nala. Good madame. Classy as always. Eugh, I gave myself the ick, hahaha. Now bye for real." -Zaire Zontes, a Teal City survivor.
