A science-fictional, post-apocalyptic epic blending hard science with metaphysical philosophy— saga of action, faith, and survival — where the spirit of Muaythai within a ten-year-old boy meets the ancient art of Qi cultivation, fused with futuristic science in the struggle to survive a fallen age. A ten-year-old son of a Muaythai dojo family — Kaodin — entangled in a timeless demon’s scheme and cast through a cosmic rift in time — the wound between worlds that births Aeonfall itself. Through the cosmic rift, the dormant Qi within his body ignites, merging with the strange radiation of the rift — transforming inner-Qi circulation into something beyond human comprehension. Kaodin stands as the pivotal force in the wheel of fate for humanity — a living symbol of survival and defiance in the world beyond. Can he eradicate the endless cycle of destruction and challenge the Timeless One’s existence? Or will he succumb to the desolation of this broken future — losing his ultimate hope of rekindling humanity’s light and returning to his original time to reunite with his family

Most dream of awakening elite Mage or Warrior branches, hoping for even a single A-rank spark. So when Mike awakened as a Common Knight, the lowest of all combat classes, no one was surprised. But when his Potential appeared as F-rank, the absolute bottom… everyone immediately dismissed him. A Knight with F potential is a death sentence. A future of mediocrity. A life destined to be stepped on. And yet— The awakening didn’t end. Beneath the worthless class and shattered potential, something impossible flickered to life: Talent: ??? — Rank SSS. A mythical talent that shouldn’t exist. An F-rank Knight with an SSS-rank Talent.

They farm dungeons for gold. This one farms them. Reincarnated as a dungeon core, he quickly learns the truth of this world: weak dungeons are exploited, and dangerous ones are destroyed. Survival is not about strength. It is about control. By turning traps into strategy, monsters into soldiers, and fear into profit, the dungeon grows smarter with every raid. As guilds lie, cities manipulate, and adventurers escalate, the dungeon crosses a forbidden line. It begins to learn. Now the world must decide. Conquer it… or die trying.

Julien was a failed salesman before the apocalypse. When he awakened a rare skill, he believed his luck had finally turned, that he would gain power, allies, or a path to an easy life. Well, he was wrong. His ability doesn’t increase his strength. It doesn’t grant combat cheats. And it doesn’t make him a hero. [Skill: The Infinite Warehouse] [Rank: SSS] [Description:] You have been granted administrative access to the Multiversal Supply Chain. You do not own the items in the warehouse; you are merely the Distributor of the items. In a world where hunters fight with blades and magic, Julien must survive using the only thing he has ever truly understood: Sales and Marketing.

Kael Grimshield, a lazy young man of humble origins, sees his idle existence upended when, against all odds, he earns the right to take the entrance exams for the prestigious Hardley School. While for anyone else, gaining admission to this magic academy would be a dream, Kael sees only the grueling prospect of years of hard work. Forced to attend, he faces scorn from the other candidates on the very first day, followed by a violent assault by a group with murky intentions. This attack may well awaken in this reluctant person a will and a power he preferred to ignore, forcing him to engage with a destiny he merely wished to avoid.

Blurb: He was once mindless trash. Vermin. An Imp. No name, no purpose. No future. He was supposed to die in the Maw like the rest. Mindless, crawling meat for something stronger to chew on. But something broke. A spark buried itself inside him... something ancient, older than Hell itself. Now he can see. He can think. He can Evolve. Hell doesn't know it yet, but the bottom just stood up. And he's hungry. Synopsis: The lowest demon in Hell. An imp without thought, spawned from filth, born for slaughter. Then he devoured a glitched system shard, something that shouldn’t exist in Hell. It gave him thought. It gave him power. It gave him the chance to evolve. Crawling through a realm of endless death and rot, he forced open a path to Earth. But in the year 2125, Earth isn’t what it once was. A hundred years ago, the Convergence shattered reality. Dimensions merged and the Dungeons fell. Civilization ended. Now, after a century of struggle, the Five Kings rule what's left, each carving out their own empires with overwhelming power. Like the Beast Taming King, who controls what was once Africa. His lands teem with monsters. Users flock to farm his dungeons, capturing beasts, gather rare materials...if they can survive, and don't forget to pay tribute. Or the Undead King, who holds what was once Europe and Russia in an iron grip. Endless legions of the dead serve him, his people loyal and fanatical. Behind an iron mask, he enforces absolute authority. A tyrant, loved by his people, living or dead. Everywhere, system users chase their own power. Shards grant anything from petty stats to world-shaking destinies. Everyone sees themselves as the hero, the protagonist of their own story. All of this is maintained and guided through the Network, a system-spanning infrastructure no human can escape. It ranks, registers, and controls. But not everywhere. Beyond the king's territories lie the Freelands, lawless zones they can’t or won’t hold. Here, gangs and corporations carve up ground while dimensional rifts swallow entire city blocks, wild dungeons drop without warning, and violence is the only law. He shouldn’t even exist in the Network. He’s not human. But his shard is corrupted...tainted. He slips through its firewalls, unregistered, unranked and free. Consuming the life and identity of Wohan Seo-jin, a system user and gang boss on the drowned coast of what was once Korea, he takes everything: his face, his memories, his men. Now he owns a foothold in the human world. And he plans to keep it. Survival isn’t enough. There is too much to want, too much to take for his own. System users, demons, dimensional races, even gods, he’ll push past every limit, evolve beyond every threat, and claim everything he desires...no matter the cost. #Litrpg #DarkFantasy #Grimdark #ProgressionFantasy #Post-apocalyptic

Cynthia gets reborn as a white tiger in a foreign new world with only a system to guide her on her journey in becoming the beast goddess

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.

A 40-year-old man suddenly dies and is reincarnated in a world devastated by zombies—but instead of becoming a hero or a survivor, he wakes up as a zombie girl.

Elementals, Enhancers, Beast Tamers, Artifact Nurturers – These four pathways define the magical world of Arcanists. But Finn, a former university student from earth, wakes up in a body treading a whole different path…A forbidden path: The path of a Soul Mage. Soul Mages are the ultimate parasites. They lack the ability to use magic themselves, but instead, wield the power to assimilate the mana-saturated souls of the dead. From every Great Arcanist that once lived, to every Calamity Beast, to every Mythic Grade Spirit Artifact… So long as they were dead, they were simply chaotic souls waiting to be claimed. ​But this kind of power does not come without cost. Madness, frenzy, mania, innate wills and primal desires of assimilated souls threaten to drive Soul Mages to total corrosion. In this new world, ​Finn finds himself thrown into the deep end, waking up as a Vessel already housing a full Parade of Chaotic Souls. Now, his body is a battlefield. The souls demand immediate payment, stacking Soul Debts that steal his senses, his consciousness, and his very humanity. ​But yet… it is this same overwhelming corrosion that causes the ultimate truth and uniqueness of his soul to surface…

Gojo: “As long as Futago masters his technique, there will be no rival left to challenge him.” Sukuna: “Only a fool would deny the power brewing in those twins.” Mei Mei: “The one who wields cursed energy like that… hmm, I could watch them for hours— …Just kidding. This story follows two twins navigating the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. Gifted beyond their years, they are slightly power-hungry, sociopathic, and driven by curiosity and ambition. Though they rarely reveal it, the twins share a deep, unique connection that enhances their potential in ways few could predict. Also, just to be clear, this is a story I’m making for fun. Their abilities are kinda nerdy, I am trying to explain it the best I can. Sorry if I fail, I added an auxiliary chapter where I try to explain as much as I can.

When vampires stop hiding, the city becomes a hunting ground. Rowan and his friends are dragged into a conflict shaped by blood, legacy, and power that never truly disappears.

When his life stalls without warning, he doesn’t gain power — he gains a record. In a world no different from our own, a quiet system begins logging his choices, his actions, and the paths he consistently avoids. There are no rewards for shortcuts. No guidance toward the “right” answer. Only clear feedback — and irreversible consequences. As progress slowly compounds, he learns that growth is not about being chosen, but about what you are willing to face when nothing forces you to. This is a story about consistency, consequence, and the moment a life finally starts moving forward.

It was just a game; one Evan played way too much, but it was still a game in the end. At least it that’s what it was supposed to be... However, on the day the main quest ended, he discovered it was more than just a game. The world of Aidos was real and the demon threat was even more so. He was sent to be the leader of the new generation of heroes and save the world from the demon invasion by the god who made the game. Unfortunately, nothing was as simple as it may have seemed. As the truth behind the invasion and the previous Seven Heroes was slowly revealed, he began to have second thoughts about his choices. He began questioning if the demons were truly the enemies of Aidos. Even more so, when he discovered a new truth. That he may not actually be who he thought he was. #wsa2022 WSA 2022 Entry [Check out my other stories from my profile: Godslayer’s Legend, Reincarnated Hero System & Beyond the Bloodline] ◇　◇　◇ Discord Link: https://discord.gg/ZXyAjGtS4r ◇　◇　◇ Support Me: https://ko-fi.com/michae_l ◇　◇　◇ I'm new to writing so I hope you all will support me on this journey.

With the ability to equip the powers of the fallen, he will rise to the top, and no mortal, spirit, or god will stand in his way.

This is one heck of a Victorian-style fantasy novel. Add a spoonful of steam engines to make that darned technology tree come alive! Add a spoonful of love and hatred, so everyone has good reasons to brawl! Add a spoonful of madness to lighten up this gloomy world, and finally, add a spoonful of natural disasters to play the main boss... and so on! Phew, that's a lot! ... Year 931 in the Engerwick Calendar. The city I reside in has been hailed as the most advanced in the West. The main reasons? The world-shaking steam technology, emerging technologies, and the wellspring of chaos. Can't deny it, but the fact remains that people keep flocking here to live. This city always gives you a glimmer of hope, whether it's lies or illusions, but it's so close, within arm's reach, making you risk life and limb. A city of hallucinations. I am one of those dream-chasers.
