evolution

Some revere him. Some loathe him. Some call him immortal; others insist he’s long dead. To some, he is a pioneer who advanced magic beyond imagination. To others, a madman destined to doom the wizarding world. In a land of fairy tales and wonder, everyone has their own story about him. But all agree on one thing: This is the era of Dawn—past, present, and future alike.

Steel as my scales, flames forged into my bones. The bloodlines of the Red Dragon and the Iron Dragon intertwine within me, fusing into a radiant rebirth. Flame and steel are my innate gifts—but adaptation and evolution are the true powers with which I claim eternity. The weak are burdened by hesitation. A king is bound by nothing. Whatever fails to kill me only makes me stronger. Before me, those who kneel shall live; those who stand shall die. All creation and destruction lie within my grasp—life and death bend to my will. If the entire world stands against me, then with the power of a single dragon, I will burn this world to ashes… and rule over what remains. My name is Garos. The world reveres me, fears me, and honors me as— the Eternal, Undying Dragon!

Born of blood and yet so disgusted by the sight of it, that was Sephtis, the greatest necromancer the heavens would ever know and also it's greatest nightmare to come. Sephtis, a being who was most surely not human but neither was he a demon nor a beast, hating the sight of blood yet there exists no greater master in the art of slaughter than he. His ever growing army razing down cities, countries, continents, entire worlds and eventually perhaps everything else. He was the definition of a nightmare, his name alone scaring even shadows away and his presence leaving nothing but destruction everywhere it touches. And to the world's greatest surprise something incredible had happened, the unstoppable force had vanished from the surface of the world one day with no explanation nor answer as to his whereabouts. The world finally knew peace, the gods were praised for an entire month straight for answering their prayers, losing themselves in wine, music, food and carnal desire, this was heaven. But as always peace is never a long-lived thing, Darkness is never really truly gone, only just temporarily withheld and the greatest nightmare in history would be returning once more, this time so much greater than ever before and making sure that he completes his mission without fail.

What happens when you love villains… a little too much? What happens when your favorite game gives you a family of monsters so compelling you can’t look away? What happens when that family is doomed to die… every single time? And what happens when you, a lover of villains, refuse to accept that ending? You play the game again, and again and again. All to save them. Only to fail every single bloody time. Because their downfall always begins with one person: A dangerous woman. A Main Villainess. The one you can never bring yourself to kill. After all… What happens when you’re obsessed with women who can kill you, ruin you, and break you while smiling down at you? That was Noah. A man who died at his keyboard at 5am, having failed for the 333rd time to save that family. And that same man woke up as Cassius Desdemona, Last Born of the villain family he loved. Years before their destruction begins. But just days before his arranged marriage to the woman who ends them all. Now, with a Fate that brands him a Villain, a Wondrous Aspect, and a Goddess overseeing his every move… He must save a family that was never meant to be saved. Survive the wife who was never meant to love him. And rewrite a story that was never meant to change. After all… “I love Villains.” Noah — now, Cassius — said with a wide devilish grin. #Noharem.

Animals that people once loved suddenly turned into magical beasts and turned the world upside down. With the mines destroyed and later occupied by magical beasts, humanity was starved of the resources needed to continue fighting them.

Did he really fail to awaken an avatar? What exactly was an avatar? Did they really come from another world?

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

"What are you willing to do to achieve something? How serious are you about achieving your goals?" This was the question that Loki and the other people who came to the Four Directions sect to earn their freedom were asked on their first day in the sect. For Loki, this question was easy for him to answer because he was reborn as a slave in this world and had already defied the will of his slave master in order to join the Four Directions sect. He had braved danger and suffering to reach the Four Directions sect. So he knew what it meant to be desperate and was willing to do whatever was required of him to achieve his goal. In the world of the blessed heaven realm, there is no such thing as human rights, and freedom is a luxury that very few people have. It is said that everyone is a slave to someone. The only difference is how strong their master is. So he, just like everyone else, is under the control of someone above them. But he doesn't want to remain a slave forever. He aspires to greatness, immortality, and freedom. He wants to acquire enough power to gain control of his fate. He also wants to rise to the top of the world and be the one to control others. He even wants to gain power and control over death. In order to achieve this, he is willing to do anything. This is his answer to the question of what he is willing to do to achieve his goals. His answer to this question was why he awakened the Fenrir metac. This is a metac that can help him achieve his goals by granting him the ability to find prey, hunt prey, and devour them to strengthen himself. With the Fenrir metac, he will transform from a prey into a predator. He will even have the chance to rise to the top of the food chain and become the strongest predator. That is to be his purpose in life, and with great luck and perseverance, he might achieve it.

Levi Larson wakes from the same nightmare: his parents slaughtered, his eyes ripped from their sockets. The Nightcrawlers tormenting him offer revenge. All he has to do is sign a Sleepwalker contract surrendering his body. He refuses. He wants his eyes back and his parents avenged, and he does not believe these creatures can deliver either. When Nightcrawlers invaded Earth, holy pillars descended over a thousand cities, creating sanctuaries where humanity could survive. But even there, humans remain vulnerable in their sleep. The genetically gifted humans negotiate partnerships with the nightcrawlers, gaining monstrous abilities and a path to evolution in exchange for the sunlight they absorb, while retaining control of themselves. These humans become Daywalkers. Levi needs to become one. But blindness makes him a poor partner: he cannot absorb sunlight efficiently, leaving him little to offer a Nightcrawler. In his most desperate moment, a Nightcrawler offers him a Daywalker contract. Levi accepts. Only after signing does he learn the price. His contracted nightcrawler’s evolutionary path has killed every partner who attempted it. Now Levi must find the solution they all died searching for. The Three-Body Problem. ***** Discord: https://discord.gg/KSNWWshhfm midgardnovels.com

They thought they were logging into the ultimate sci-fi VRMMO. They had no idea they were the unwitting champions of a starving, newborn Chaos God. [Welcome to Epoch 40k: Mecha] The developers promised glorious mechas, interstellar colonization, and a grand sci-fi epic. Instead, players are dumped into a rotting nightmare where the tutorial involves dodging Ork raiding parties for scrap metal, and the local NPCs chant religious litanies just to repair a rusty tractor. Behind the curtain, however, a newly awakened Chaos God named Lucian Sanctus is desperately pulling the strings. Sitting at the absolute bottom of the Warp's food chain, Lucian needs to harvest emotional energy to survive. But feeding openly means drawing the ire of the established Chaos Gods—especially Slaanesh, as he knows she would love nothing more than to devour a fledgling deity before he can become a threat. His brilliant, desperate solution? Summon gamers from Earth. By disguising a grim, unforgiving reality as a virtual sandbox, Lucian can safely gorge himself on their gamer rage, triumph, and gacha-induced despair without the Emperor or the Chaos Gods noticing a thing. Armed with a total disregard for their own lives, a terrifying penchant for exploiting bugs, and a deeply questionable moral compass, these "players" have formed the Red Dawn guild. The galaxy might be a decaying cesspit, but they have sworn to fix it... or accidentally establish a brand-new galactic empire trying.
