In 1911, the first Korean cadet enrolled at the United States Military Academy. However, he was no ordinary soul. He retained his memory from his past life as an officer in the Korean Army.

In a world where the night is not a sanctuary, but a slaughterhouse, the Moon is a god of execution. While the common people hide behind the "Silver Seals," a ancient race of monsters known as Kebaruke—born from a forbidden alchemical accident—stalk the shadows. But they have one fatal weakness: the very moonlight that guides them also burns them into white ash. Oolka was a simple girl until the night the Upper Sun Kebaruke decimated her village, leaving only her and her brother, Kgreko, alive. But Kgreko has changed. His hair has split into shades of purple and black, and a hunger grows within him that only blood can satisfy. To save his soul, Oolka must allow a cold-hearted Master to bind her brother’s jaw with a Steel Prayer Seal and teach her the forgotten Arts of the blade. Carrying the mysterious Triangle Mark of the legendary first slayer, Yortaka, Oolka joins the Hankure—an elite group of warriors hunting the King of Kebaruke, Izan. Alongside a wild boy raised by foxes and a girl obsessed with the speed of Heaven, Oolka must navigate a path of fire and frost. But as Izan grows desperate—slowly turning human due to a traitor’s injections—he unleashes his ultimate weapon: Ailiska, the 8-eyed King of the First Era, and Oolka's own blood-ancestor. In a world where the moon is a weapon and history is a lie, Oolka must master the First Art before the rotating castle of the enemy crushes the last of the human spirit.

Shen Zhu never knew tenderness. He knew the whip before words, poison before hunger, and death before he understood what life meant. Behind every blow and wound, eyes watched him with a love that looked nothing like mercy, and hands pushed him to fall so they could teach him how to rise. He grew up in a world that gives nothing for free, where strength is measured in scars, friendship is built upon the corpses of beasts, and fate smiles mockingly at those who try to escape it.

A dying cultivation universe sends its last knowledge forward through reincarnation. In the space between worlds, it collides with an AI from a collapsing Earth - advanced technology carrying a scientist's preserved mind. The AI consumes both to survive: forty-seven billion years of perfected cultivation and the scientific mind to make sense of it. It binds everything to a new soul in a young world. Wang Ben doesn't remember his past lives. He just knows things no one in this universe should - cultivation methods that waste almost nothing in a world that wastes almost everything, and the instinct to hide what he can do. The AI remembers what killed the old universe. It filters that knowledge behind locked permissions and functionality gates. Some things, it insists, are more dangerous to know than to face. Note: I am most active on royalroad! Enjoy reading!

Mysterious and curious swords scattered across the earth, waiting for their world-renowned Sword Masters. Who can comprehend the miraculous skill that has been passed down from millennia? The city of Chang'an hides those who carry the power of fire and sun, the central plains house giant decaying millennial families, the wild warriors of the Northern Territory silently sharpen their blades, the dance of deceit and cunning occurs among the southern kingdoms...

This was the story of the Wannabe Webnovelist Team (aka WW) who slaved over writing for five years and did not receive a single reader, only to discover that the person responsible for the final edit and publishing in the Wannabe Webnovelist writing team never actually published anything. He had only uploaded everything to the drafts. Sit back and relax (or not) as you try to figure out which character has written which paragraph or chapter. Not to mention working out how many people are actually in this team - this may fluctuate. The WW team's rules in this novel are that once a chapter has been published, no one in the team can edit it. (NB: all the characters in this work are fictional and while any resemblance to real life people are not entirely coincidental - no insults are meant. This is a completely tongue in cheek, rubbish piece of nothing. Yes, you read that right. If you find this as nonsensical as the author(s), then 'high five!' You are on the right page.) Also, has this story really been discontinued? Wait and see... because if it really has been discontinued, we hope the readers enjoy being left hanging on the cliff edge - or just hanging, cos there's nothing wrong with just hanging about. Addit Oct 2023: WW is on a long break. Who knows if they'll ever get back together or come back (in fact, I doubt they will ever return - I think they've given up). Therefore, you will receive random short stories instead. This is now truly discontinuous nonsense. Enjoy. If you don't like one story, you can now switch to a different one via the contents page. Yay.

random Man wakes up in mango moretti's body and discovers a new world

LEGION ACADEMY In a world where Energy, magic, swordsmanship, and supernatural abilities determine a person’s place in society, becoming a warrior of the Legion is the dream of many—but only the strongest survive the path. Mason Grace, a 15-year-old boy born into a poor village, has never had the advantages of the nobles and prodigies around him. But after years of brutal training under his father, Mason earns the chance to enter the prestigious Legion Academy, an institution where young warriors are trained to become the protectors of kingdoms and cities. Mason quickly discovers that the Academy is far more dangerous than he imagined. Powerful students compete for rank. Ancient abilities awaken. Rivalries turn into battles. And beyond the Academy walls, demons, bandits, mysterious warriors, and forces far beyond human understanding are beginning to move. But Mason carries a secret even he doesn’t fully understand. Something ancient lives within him. An unknown power capable of nullifying both physical and spiritual energy—a force that should not exist in the world. As Mason climbs the ranks, he will be forced to confront enemies stronger than himself, uncover the truth behind his strange power, and decide what kind of warrior he wants to become. Because Mason’s journey isn’t simply about becoming the strongest student at Legion Academy. It’s about becoming strong enough to protect the world that has never protected him. And one day, Mason Grace intends to stand at the highest rank of them all. The Great Elder.

Jin Yeong lived an ordinary life. He worked an ordinary job, went home to an ordinary apartment, and was the kind of man nobody ever remembered. That all changed the day the sky cracked open over Seoul. A voice echoed across the world, mocking humanity's weakness. Monsters flooded the streets, cities fell in a single night, and every survivor was given a skill to fight back. Some awakened the power to control fire, lightning, or the earth itself. Jin awakened Limitless Weapon Mastery, a skill that let him use any weapon at its full potential and nothing more. Without magic or special powers, he seemed to have drawn the weakest hand of all. But in a world where survival meant fighting with whatever was within reach, Jin soon discovered that his skill held far more than anyone expected. With nothing but his skill and the will to protect the people beside him, Jin began his journey through a broken world, where anything he holds can kill.

Aiden Lioren, son of the Director of Magical Regulation, hunts illegal mages for the State in a city where every spark of power is monitored and controlled. Their official enemy: “Deviants,” unregistered magic users whose emotions make their powers unpredictable and “dangerous.” On his first night in the field, during a storm-soaked raid in the South Sector, Aiden feels a violent surge of electricity ripple through the city an anomaly that briefly blacks out an entire street. The source is an Electromancer Deviant, powerful and undisciplined, already targeted for capture or elimination under new State protocols. As Aiden rides with the enforcement unit into the chaos, he is determined to prove himself worthy of his father’s expectations and the Department’s ideology. What he doesn’t know yet is that the Deviant they’re hunting will shatter everything he believes about danger, control, and who truly threatens the city and that this forbidden enemy will soon become the person his heart refuses to let go.

Never would I’ve thought that a simple water ball would awaken those feelings inside of me, as the day passed, memories falling to pieces together to awaken an ability that brings me trauma and dread towards the future. As the day passed, more knowledge and different future that lies ahead of me appeared and scare me. I tried to bear through the world, and see what kind of struggle I can make before stopping at the juncture where I can make a change. In this godforsaken world… I wonder, what change can I make? tldr: Claude was just a brat—a village troublemaker with a sharp tongue and a sharper mind—until a prank gone wrong awakened something terrifying and impossible. Memories. Not from another life, but from many. Futures that never happened. Timelines that fractured. Pain that felt too real to be fiction. Now, armed with fragments of knowledge from alternate realities, Claude knows one thing: the peaceful village of Buena is not safe. A disaster is coming—the Mana Calamity—and no one is prepared. So Claude trains. Under Paul Greyrat's sword. Alongside Rudeus' magic. With grit, secrets, and a plan no one can know.

What would you do if you woke up in the world of a series you know by heart, but in the body of someone whose fate is destined to end in tragedy? After dying in his own world, a young man wakes up in the body of Eren Yeager, just after the fall of Shiganshina. The death of Carla, the disappearance of Grisha, and the memories of the original Eren reveal an undeniable truth: he has been transported into the world of *Attack on Titan* (*Shingeki no Kyojin*). At first, the situation feels like a nightmare. He is trapped in a child’s body, surrounded by monsters that devour humans, and burdened with two of the Nine Titans, along with the Curse of Ymir. Yet, he possesses something no one else has: knowledge of the events yet to come. He knows that the walls will not protect humanity forever. He knows that a world exists beyond them, where the inhabitants view Eldians as monsters that deserve to be wiped out. And he knows that, if things continue on their current path, Eren’s choices will lead to a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions. But knowing the future does not mean being able to control it. With five years to prepare before the Battle of Trost, and barely two before enlisting in the army, he must learn to survive, master the powers he has inherited, and find a way to ready Paradis for a war its people do not even know exists. It will be no simple task. Every change could trigger unforeseen consequences; every life he tries to save might alter fundamental events; and every decision will force him to ask himself just how far he is willing to go to protect those he cares about. Because this will not be just the story of Eren Yeager. It will be the story of those who inherit the weight of Eldia, those who dare to defy their destiny, and a world whose future has yet to be written. The fate of Eldia lies in his hands. Will he be able to change it before it’s too late? ---- (Disclaimer: None of the characters used in the story belong to me. Credits to their respective creators and authors.)
