“Hey! What's going on? Wh…why are you quivering? Why haven't you sealed his magic yet?” The mage didn't reply for a moment, the beads of sweat grew in numbers as his whole body was now totally drenched. “H…he… I can't! His aura, his mana, his magic is growing. He is growing rapidly, I can't tame him. I can't. He's too…” Meanwhile, in the shadow realm, Grey smirked as he lifted his hand and made a slashing motion in the air in front of him. “Dimensional Slash.” _ In a world teeming with mages.

Wh-what even are you?” “...” “You really want to know who I am?” Grey demanded, lightning crackling around his hands.

Even after breaking up with his childhood sweetheart, Noah never noticed that someone had been watching him from the dark for far longer than he realized. By the time he sensed something was wrong, it was already too late. The shadows closed in, the tide pulled him under, and there was no easy way back out. Evelyn had always been there, close enough to feel familiar, close enough to feel safe. He never questioned it. He never thought he needed to. Once, he had naïvely believed that calling her his sister would be enough to keep certain lines from being crossed.

So here's the thing — this isn't really a Naruto Uzumaki's story. It's about the other guy living inside him.

And unlike Naruto, Menma isn't interested in being Hokage or making friends or any of that. He has different plans. If you like dark, smart, morally grey characters who play the long game — give this a shot. Start reading. You'll figure out pretty quickly if this is your thing.

After a brutal betrayal, he awakens the "Poverty Escape System"—a forbidden 10th-Dimensional protocol. This system turns his absolute poverty into raw power.

[Warning: This story carries extreme violence, profanity, gore, explicit scenes (though no nudity), coercion, emotional trauma and several themes that can trigger readers. Please take caution] "What does survival turn us into? And at what point does survival stop being worth it?" Welcome to Neo-Earth, a world where humans and beast folks live side-by-side. A world shaped by corruption, power, and survival. Caesar's Moon follows the main character Caesar Moon, a young beast folk woman who was forced into a brutal, "controversial" wrestling circuit in order to protect her younger brothers from danger. Now she has to deal with the public narratives and opinions formed around her while combating her personal demons. This is a gritty, emotional, and highly explicit story that explores mature and uncomfortable themes including exploitation, coercion, objectification, intense violence, erotic tension, and several other things not to glorify them, but to confront the realities of control and the struggle for identity within systems that dehumanize. Plus this is my first time exploring an adult-themed story like this. I wanted to experiment with darker storytelling, raw emotions, and taboo ideas, so it won’t be for everyone... but for those still willing to dive in, thank you.

What does it mean to be a Conqueror? What does it mean to lead? To sacrifice? What does it mean to be a good person. What does it mean to really make change? This has consumed me in more ways than one. This is a book for people who want a different. Non-Trad Experience.

In Aethelgard, a world composed of drifting continents and monolithic stone cities, power is everything. Yet, power here is not derived from mystical sorcery, but from Axiom—the cerebral capacity to manipulate the laws of physics in real-time. The elite can rend space, invert gravity, and command thermodynamics through sheer mental computation. Elian Laurent is the "trash" of this perfect system. Born as a Zero, Elian possesses no ability to project Axiom. His life is a mere struggle for survival in the derelict slums of Sector 9, alongside his younger sister, Miya Laurent—a prodigy blessed with a rare, untainted talent. Their fragile peace is shattered when Inquisitor Valerius, the right hand of the World Government, arrives to conduct an "Induction." Miya is abducted to serve as a "Living Processor"—a human battery destined to maintain the stability of Aethelgard’s skies. Helpless, Elian can only watch as his sister is dragged toward the heavens, leaving him bloodied amidst the ruins of his workshop. However, in the depths of despair and burning rage, something inside Elian’s mind fractures. Elian does not gain the power of Axiom. Instead, he is cursed—or gifted—with a terrifying vision: he begins to see the glitches in every formula of reality. He realizes that his world is not an infinite universe, but a closed curve—a gargantuan scientific experiment known as The Closed Variable. Joined by Caelus, a mysterious mentor who fights using the mathematics of probability, Elian embarks on an impossible journey. From the steam-choked lower districts to the crystalline spires of Sector 1, Elian fights not with brute strength, but by hacking the god-like attacks of the Inquisitors. He has only one goal: To reach the highest peak, rescue Miya, and shatter the false sky into pieces—even if he must prove that all of humanity is nothing more than a variable meant to be deleted by the Creator.

Before the great Mughal Empire, the world feared only one name: The Mongols. They were a storm that destroyed everything in its path. But they made one mistake—they left a young boy alive. Ulfat ul Baet was a child of peace and faith, traveling with his scholar-father and gentle mother. In a single night of horror, the Mongols didn't just attack his caravan; they stole his parents' identities. By wearing the clothes of his mother and father, the invaders tricked Ulfat into a false embrace before murdering his family before his eyes. Dragged into the freezing North as a slave, Ulfat is subjected to years of brutal torture. The Mongols want to break his body, his language, and his Islam. But while they watch his hands work the dirt, they fail to see his mind building a fortress. Ulfat doesn't want to kill the Khan with a sword. He wants to destroy the Mongol Empire from the inside. Through a stroke of culinary genius and psychological manipulation, Ulfat uses the "bond of bread and salt" to fascinate the aging King. In a move that shocks the world, the outsider is named the Successor to the Throne. Now, the slave is the King. But Ulfat hasn't forgotten the blue silk scarf in his pocket or the blood on the Steppe. As the new ruler, he begins a terrifying "Governmental Force." He doesn't burn their cities—he breaks their spirits. He forces the proudest warriors to bow at his parents' graves and slowly rots the empire’s foundation until they have nothing left but their shame. But as Ulfat nears his final revenge, he faces his greatest enemy: his own soul. Will he destroy the world to avenge his past, or will a single memory of his mother's mercy save him before he loses his faith forever?

I transmigrated into the worst possible world of One Piece: a Celestial Dragon slave, a mermaid hybrid, and marked on my collarbone. But I know that in the West Sea, there is a blue-eyed girl on the run. So when I was twelve, I found ten-year-old Robin, gave her a bag of bread, three Berries, and a sentence she spent her whole life proving: "Knowledge is innocent." Then I turned around and joined the Navy. I was taken away by Vice Admiral Tsuru to become his disciple, trained by Vice Admiral Garp, and nurtured by Fleet Admiral Sengoku. I climbed to the position of general, my hands stained with countless lives, and built my web of power. I thought I could control everything, until the peacock died in my arms. From that day on, something shattered completely. His naval colleagues began privately referring to Admiral 'Cloud Fox' as "the silver-haired mad dog." It doesn't matter. I would rather become a disciple of the Five Elders, the Financial Martial God, and become Im's sharpest proxy, than hide my ambitions and purposes in the vortex. Hancock loves me, Vivi falls for me in a political marriage, Nami says my embrace is the only safe haven, Perona only stops having nightmares in my arms, and Reiju chases me from dreams into reality. But every night, I still touch the burning mark below my collarbone and think of those pale blue eyes in the granary. Robin, wait a little longer. Wait for me, this mad dog, to... tear the old world apart for you.

In the fortified city-state of Changye, despite its reputation as one of the most undesirable places to live, individuals still have the opportunity to earn money and survive within its walls. However, everything changed after the Shanghai Risk Event, a catastrophic disaster caused by a reality warper that tore through Eurasia.

The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red.

She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

"Congratulations... you are the glitch." With these words, Ray's life as a human ended, and his existence as a mere variable in a terrifying cosmic equation began. Cast into a realm governed by the laws of absolute power, he finds humanity at the very bottom of the hierarchy.

(Exported from Wattpad. You can check it out in Wattpad if you want. And if you want, you can also support me both in Wattpad and here in Webnovel!) --- Alright, let's see what we have here: - A young man with amnesia. But not just any young man with amnesia, but a supposed 'young man' with amnesia who's comprised of metal, wires, and complex programs. [√] - Suddenly woke up from a cryostasis inside of an old bunker with no explanation whatsoever. [√] - Having no clue what is even going on around him. [√] - Decides to walk out from the said bunker after gathering the scraps left behind by the former inhabitant and embark on his new adventure into the strange new world. [√] Those aspect combined fits well into the typical 'protagonist woke up with amnesia and set out for his journey across the new world and to defeat the main antagonist' kind of story. But unfortunately, this isn't the fantasy world that he's expecting/hoping to woke up into. Instead, he's greeted by the rusty, gritty sight of Earth in the year 2060's. Undead abominable creations caused by 'ELID', rogue robots that kills any living beings on sight, factions consist of ideals & goals, and the political power at play across Europe. With all being said, let's see how this 'young man' could fare against the unforgiving reality of the situation He have put himself into against his own will. Whether a variable like him could truly shine a bright light among the other beacons, to make a different in the brave new world He woke up into, or will the past memories He no longer remember eventually caught onto to him; forcing him into circumstances that question and put his own choices, morality, necessity, and dignity to the test.
