​At age ten, I die. ​​On my seventh life, I decided to change the script. I met the woman who always appears at my deathbed – the "Witch" who bleeds for a boy she barely knows. ​I acted like a child. I manipulated my family. I trapped her by my side. I wanted my senses back, and she was the key. But as I regained the ability to smell her scent, to taste her gifts, and to feel the rage of a man reborn, I followed her through a forbidden portal. ​There, in a field of red water and crows, I saw a row of graves. ​And a man who looked exactly like me, lying dead in her arms. ​"How many of me have you buried, Teacher?"

Before gods ruled, the world was whole. When immortal beings crossed into Earth to observe, their presence shattered an age and revealed a power hidden within humanity itself. Fearing imbalance, the gods chose equality—and divided the world to enforce it. Now gods rule a land that never asked for them, mortals carry power they do not understand, and order stands where wholeness once existed. Tales of the Zodiac is a mythic epic of cosmic world-building, divine consequence, and the price of choosing control over truth.

Shanum Asmara, a beautiful 20-year-old college student and orphan, lives independently after her parents passed away. She lives in Jakarta to pursue her education at a public university thanks to a scholarship she earned through hard work and intelligence, while her elderly grandmother lives alone in Yogyakarta, working on a rice farm. Since childhood, Shanum has been accustomed to facing life's difficulties, so she learned various types of martial arts from her grandmother, such as pencak silat, karate, and taekwondo, to be able to protect herself. While living in Jakarta, strange things often happened around Shanum. She felt that she was always accompanied by an invisible figure when she returned to her boarding house alone. When she was bullied by a college friend, the perpetrator suffered a mysterious accident. When she was almost kidnapped by thugs sent by the Rice Lord who wanted to make her his wife, those people also received an unexpected retribution that she couldn't explain. During her college break, Shanum returned to Yogyakarta and told her grandmother about all her experiences. From there, she learned a secret she couldn’t fathom with modern thinking: since childhood, Shanum had been protected by a ghost named Den Mas Alif Bhirawa. Who exactly is Den Mas Alif Bhirawa? Is he merely a guardian, or is there a deeper connection linking him to Shanum? And what is the true purpose behind his constant surveillance and protection of Shanum from the past until now?

This is a Warhammer 40,000 fan-made story. While some timeline elements have been slightly adjusted for narrative purposes, the tone and spirit remain unmistakably Warhammer. Expect references to memes, historical events, and chaos-fueled absurdity woven into the drama of this universe. Li Feng, an ordinary college student studying in the US, thought he was just driving home with his quiet, gentle girlfriend Empress. But in the blink of an eye, a roaring warp vortex tore open before them and dragged Li Feng across reality itself, hurling him straight into the grim darkness of the forty-first millennium. And then came the real shock. His girlfriend was never human to begin with. She was a fragment of the Emperor’s soul, wandering the mortal world in disguise! ……… Stranded on a barren, war-torn planet with nothing but panic in his lungs, Li Feng found himself surrounded by a mob of bloodthirsty orks. Just when he was certain he was about to become green-skinned minced meat, a glowing panel materialized in front of him. A system? In the Warhammer universe? Maybe... just maybe... things were about to get interesting.

Soul Mechas were forged to punish the Eldritch Monsters that attack this world from Beyond the Glass. But they can only be powered by those who bond with ancient mythical souls from that world. Unfortunately, souls are only attracted to negative emotions: helplessness, anguish, and loss. The deeper and more wronged, the better. However, regardless of the empire's pressure on the people to produce the best Soulbound Warriors and the heavy stigma from his father's curse, Soren remains a happy boy, a dreamer. Until he ends up with the worst soulbond in history after 'The Touching Glass Ceremony.' An F-rank soul. Trash even amongst trash. Even the commoners laughed when his rank was called. Beggars in rags celebrated and claimed to be above him. But was it really the worst soul bond ever? Because, when an Eldritch monster ravages their town and kills all that he loves, Soren finds himself repeating the same day again and again, bathing in unimaginable pain and death that forces him to grow, evolve, and confront questions that plague the empire, his father's mysterious curse, soul rituals, and the Eldritchs' true goals on earth. Each loop leaves him HUNGRIER, stronger...but less human. As the lines between man, soul, and machine blur, Soren must decide the very fate of the world...

The outer districts are built to be passed through. Accidents are expected. Survival is enough. When Aron interferes in an accident that should have claimed a life, the world hesitates—and then corrects itself. He survives, but something has changed. Marked by an attention he doesn’t understand, Aron is forced into an elite academy that does not offer explanations, only compliance. Inside, power is subtle, consequences are displaced, and every decision carries a cost that rarely falls where it should. As Aron learns to survive in a system that prioritizes stability over morality, he begins to realize an unsettling truth: the world does not reward intent—only outcomes.

In Northern Nigeria, the Zakka's family battles poverty, silence, and sacrifice. When a sudden illness threatens their youngest child, their strength is tested and their love is all they have left. A tender, tragic tale of resilience in the face of life’s harshest whispers.

Their village was quiet, secluded, and bound by tradition. But its peace ran only as deep as the silence around one unspoken rule. In the shadowed woods surrounding them, a rare and pale plant grows—known only as Doll’s Eyes. To the villagers, it is a curse. For those who touch it, eat from it, or even breathe its pollen too long, a terrifying transformation begins. It starts in the eyes, which turn into glossy black pools—glassy, lifeless, like a doll’s. Then the skin wastes away, the lips turn a blood-red hue, and the final stage brings only shame. Shame that strips the afflicted of their humanity in the eyes of their kin. They call them Dolls. Families disown them. Friends vanish. And when the moon is high, the pyres are lit—to "cleanse" the village of its blight. No more children laughing. No more whole families. Mothers break as they watch their children fall to the bloom. One by one. When a young villager finds the first tell-tale mark on their skin, they are left with an impossible choice: surrender to the flames, or flee into the unknown. But what awaits beyond the village borders is not just survival—it is the hidden truth behind Doll’s Eyes. In a world where being different is a death sentence… Is this difference right or wrong? Was there a way out for them … or not?

In the depths of the Black District—where light is dim, trust is rare, and monsters lurk in both form and spirit—Renzo, one of the most powerful Z Rankers in the Story World, stumbles upon a frightened child huddled in an alley. She calls herself Prism—a girl with red skin, black horns, and eyes that hold too many stories for someone so young. Alone, and barely surviving, Prism is more than just a lost child. Her origins are wrapped in secrecy, her presence drawing attention from powers Renzo would rather stay buried. But something about her—her fear, her strength, her silence—pierces through the hardened warrior's heart. Despite the danger, Renzo takes her in. What begins as an act of kindness slowly pulls the two into a bond neither expected. As Prism's past unfolds and her strange abilities surface, it becomes clear: this child might not just need saving—she might change the fate of the Story World itself.

A Love Born in Lies A love born in silence. A past buried in shadows. A heart caught between truth and illusion. --- I don’t remember who I was. Not the girl in the mirror. Not the life I left behind. All I know is this mansion… And him—Professor. My husband. Cold. Untouchable. Mysterious. A man who says I belong to him… Yet looks at me like he’s already lost me. He doesn’t smile. He barely speaks. But the way he watches me— Like he's guarding something he’s terrified to break— it haunts me more than the gaps in my memory. Then come the fragments. A sister’s voice. A forgotten diary. A flower shop. A crash. And the moment I start to remember… everything starts to fall apart. --- What if the man I live with is part of the lie? What if the truth is more dangerous than the illusion I’m living in? What if… the love I’m falling into is the one thing I was meant to escape?

In a world where cultivation is loud—where power is seized, proclaimed, and flaunted—Lin Chen walks a path no one notices. Born with low-grade spiritual roots, Lin Chen is dismissed by his sect as a burden fated to remain in the outer ranks forever. While others roar their ambition toward the heavens, he cultivates in silence, listening to the flow of Qi rather than forcing it. His Dao is quiet, enduring, and unnoticed. Kindness becomes his habit, not his weakness. But the cultivation world does not reward kindness. Betrayed by those he once helped, hunted by sects that fear what they do not understand, and crushed beneath the indifferent weight of Heaven’s will, Lin Chen is forced to shed mercy layer by layer. His silent Dao sharpens. His hands grow steady. Blood stains his path. By the time the Immortal realms turn their gaze upon the mortal world, Lin Chen has already become a name spoken in whispers—a cultivator who kills without hatred and destroys without sound. When a mysterious woman descends from the Immortal Realms to temper herself in the mortal world, fate entangles their paths. Neither knows the other’s true identity. Trust forms slowly between two souls burdened by secrets. She is the daughter of an Immortal King, bound by duty and divine law. He is the silent anomaly the heavens failed to hear. When truth is finally revealed, love and destiny stand on opposite sides of the blade. As the world trembles beneath their battle, Lin Chen is forced to choose between ascension without regret—or a heartbeat he thought long dead. From the forgotten outer sect to the pinnacle of cultivation, Silent Dao Sovereign is a slow-burn, dark epic about endurance, loss, ruthless ascension, and a love strong enough to defy Heaven itself

In a future where Earth is burnt away by man's folly, the Emperor of Mankind leads humanity into the stars and founds an empire powered by the Living Flame, a force both powerful and of absolute authority. But beneath the Empire’s glory sits an older, nameless Enemy: something formless and impossible that helped birth the Flame… and may still be guiding it. Three children are born under ominous, converging fates. Zayn enters the world hidden from the Living Flame, marked as an outcast before he can even speak. On the brutal mining world of Mortrum, Ash grows up under acid rain and slavery’s cruelty, until one violent act of self-defense shatters the fragile life he’s been protecting. In the white halls of House Whiterock, Luna, the “Silver Princess”, is heir to a throne but denied the Flame’s gifts, making her both a political liability and a target. Watching all of them is Avraham Darkflame, an Inquisitor with secrets, debts, and a plan years in motion. As the Empire tightens its grip, the three are pulled toward the same chain-bound destiny… one that could break the Living Flame’s dominion but may ignite something far worse.

After a devastating large-scale invasion took place, the Heretic Cult suffered severe losses. Broken the most by it, two men find short-lived closure as a boy named Agnus pops up in both of their lives, shortly discovering he was the catalyst behind it all. His existence reignited the dormant pain lying within the two men, and awakens a path of retribution that the three must undertake for the cherished ones they lost. New brotherhood blooms, while Agnus himself is stuck in the same cycle of nothingness. As a precaution against his father when he was born, Agnus’s emotions were sealed off, and he had never felt the sensation of joy roaming in his chest or the heartache of sorrow. His path wasn’t solely for revenge, but to also seek the humanity he had never felt. Dangers lurk in the forms of friends, and hidden forces catapult the Heretics into disarray. Can he find a way to kill his enemies, all the while finding his true self?
