[A depressed boy clings to a game and its doomed action protagonist for his life until the game's world becomes reality and he embarks a determined journey to change protagonist's ending that the boy strongly rejects.] Johann had already given up on reality long before it began to collapse. The only thing that kept him going was a game, The Mayhem, and its silent, unstoppable protagonist: the Hellraider. Then the game became real. Monsters, death, and destruction—everything unfolded exactly as he remembered. But Johann didn’t enter this world to survive. He came for one reason: to follow Hellraider… and change the ending that should have never happened. Yet the more he walks that path, the more the world begins to break away from what he knows. Events shift. Truths contradict. And the figure he once believed he understood refuses to be defined by anything, not even the story itself. In a world where even fate is unstable, Johann continues forward, even when he no longer knows what he is chasing. *The entire story is completed. New chapter will be published regularly.*

An angel, lost on Earth after failing to return to heaven, reincarnated as a human but retained his celestial powers. As he aged, the power became too much for his mortal body, leaving him lonely despite having siblings. He eventually made a close friend and, knowing his time was short, began distributing his powers through injections of his celestial blood. His friend was the first to receive powers, followed by the angel's sister and many others. To help these new power-bearers, the angel created a separate universe called the Chūkan (The in-between) above Earth with a school in which he called “The Helios Empire academy” where they could learn to harness their celestial aura. The angel ruled the school until his friend, seeking control, demanded a share. When the angel refused, the friend took over during his absence, ruling with an iron fist and sparking a deadly war. The angel returned to find his friend had married his sister, and they had a daughter. Heartbroken, the angel banished them and their followers to a sealed realm called Terra Firma. Before departing on another journey, he appointed twelve powerful beings to govern his universe and placed his niece and her descendants in charge of the school. Then, the angel disappeared, leaving his legacy behind. The in-between (Chūkan) existed peacefully, protected by a vast barrier casted by the Angel to repell all external forces. The students of the Helios Empire Academy were tasked only with suppressing lesser evils within the In-between (Chūkan): vampires, criminals, wicked mages, Dark Elves, stained guardians, and infected shifters. Ten thousand years later, thousands of mysterious meteors fell from the far sky—far beyond the barrier—disrupting it for a single hour. In that moment, the ancient seal placed by the Angels began to weaken, releasing Demons and Devils as old as Chūkan itself. They spread freely across the five continents of the In-between: Gold Gard, Elve Gard, Wizz Gard, Prin.T Gard, and Knight Gard. Now, with the barrier damaged and the continents under siege, it falls to the students of the Helios Empire Academy to protect the In-between from ancient evil

But it all changed when I woke up in the game Rotting with Dawn. I had become a member of a cult that will soon get destroyed by its own god. What a joke!? I'm not going out quietly. I still have a will to live I'll even fight a god if I have to! Just wait I'll carry this shitty game from the ground up! ※Art is not mine.※

I'm officially ending the story.

The boys summoned from Earth were meant to be heroes. Instead, they became slaves. Branded as expendable weapons by the empire that summoned them, the group later known as the Strays survives through rebellion, escape, and bloodshed. Freedom comes at a cost—and now powerful nobles, mercenary orders, and kingdoms hunt the runaway summons who were never meant to live. Armed with stolen magic and hard-earned scars, the Strays travel a continent consumed by war, searching for one impossible prize: a way back to Earth. But in a world that profits from their existence, escaping may mean tearing down the very empires that control it.

Survival was the first thing Lorelei had learned. Her power had marked her from birth, a curse that should have left her abandoned — yet someone still took her in, raised her, cared for her. She knew it couldn't last, knew something would shatter the fragile peace, but she clung to that faint hope anyway: that this happiness would stretch on forever. It didn't. Just as she had with her mother, her own hands had killed him. And in the wreckage of her grief, a figure emerged — the only answer to her questions, the only guide through the bloody path she walked carrying along the sorrow of those she killed.

Eleven years of losing has taught the Nine Cities one lesson: don't try to win. Trade land for time. Sacrifice what you must. Hold what you can't afford to lose. Sela Brack just wants to survive the war quietly — but every time she touches someone and the truth spills out of them against her will, it costs her a piece of herself, and there are people who would very much like to own what she can do. Commander Rasa Ferrant isn't fighting to win either. Her only job is getting three doomed cities' worth of people out before the enemy arrives — while her own council keeps ordering her to hold one more symbolic line than the schedule allows. Across the war, in the empire slowly grinding the coast to ash, a Legate who knows this campaign should have ended two years ago keeps attacking anyway — because the man circling his command is watching for any sign he's lost the will to win. This is not a story about who wins the war. It's about what's left of everyone by the time it finally ends — and whether any of it was worth the cost.

(Currently being revised so the story may be incoherent) "Knowledge, There you are! We need to do this quickly before the other gods notice." Valor says as he motions for her to approach. "I'm surprised you agreed to help with this." Gluttony adds with a cruel smile. "I never would have thought the God of Knowledge would be the one to give us aid." Knowledge mearly nods at his words. "Now, this is it! That crazy bat from the far continent has made some crazy monsters before but this one is the cream of the crop. Fully capable of self-evolution and self-replication. It can breed a whole army of different monsters by gathering the essence of other lifeforms!" Valor says as he points to a large egg on the ground. She nods again. "You know, I thought you'd be as excited as I am with this? Endless war and power; we'll have full control of the system once this thing begins its rampage." Knowledge raises her hands in the air and shakes them unenthusiastically. "As sarcastic as ever I see. Well, whatever. Place your hand hand here and help us with the seal." She does as she is told and a huge beam of light descends upon the egg; but her attention is elsewhere. Using the ceremony as a distraction, Knowledge brings lost souls from other worlds and implants them in unsuspecting inhabitants. She can see it. Tiny seeds of change have been sewn.

The stars are beacons in the sky; they burn ever so bright, illuminating the universe. But with light there must come darkness. The world may seem like a beautiful place shrouded in brilliant light, filled with love and prosperity. But beneath that beauty, there is blood; beneath that light, there is darkness; and beneath that love, there is pain. The central world is known as Clara Astrum, a realm of adventure and mystery. A world full of marvellous sights, towering mountains, and vast oceans. A world where dreams were held, and legends were created. But that was not where I was born. I was born in the world below, the one known as Mortuus Lux, the world of decay. There was no light, no stars; all we had was the flickering heart. I suffered like the rest, I fought to survive, and I evolved by devouring my brothers and sisters. There is no such thing as companionship here, only one's own strength. The weak perish while the strong delay the inevitable. I embrace my demise because with death, I will be free. I embrace life because with every encounter, I shed a thread of weakness. My name is Luna, a demon born in Mortuus Lux, raised in blood and war, and burdened with my own destined death.

"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how. But glory… glory is the answer. Glory will outlive flesh and bones. Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality." ~~~~ Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything—except the will to make use of it. "Why should I walk the same path as my ancestors? Why must I seek strength just to defeat one rival or compete with another? That is not what I was born for!" --- “…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

In a distant past, the seven Ancestral Beasts clashed, and the blood they spilled rained onto the entire plane, infecting humans and animals alike, making them part of their powerful bloodlines. As a small village’s hunter, Liam was unaware of the consequences of that legendary battle. His sole goal was to become a cultivator to gain the strength and resources he needed to avenge his family. Yet, when Liam’s Ancestral Bloodline awakened, he uncovered a connection between his family’s killers and the Dragon King, a connection that could expand his revenge to the entire Kingdom. -------------------- Discord link: https://discord.gg/mefzf3aQJ8 Instagram: eocnovels X: @EoCNovels Cover artist: https://digitalrowye.com
