Ethan Blackwell always knew his life wasn't quite right. Both his parents died so early he didn't even know their faces as all his life he was raised by his grandfather– a mysterious man. He was the record holder of the oldest man alive, at 130 years old. More striking however, were his vermillion eyes. The eyes Ethan had inherited and something that shouldn't be possible on earth. When a tragic fire claims the old man's life, Ethan is left with nothing but a dusty, misshapen monkey vase. He didn't know it was a 'Realmcaller'. And he definitely didn't know it would drag him and his classmates into a fantasy world and split his very existence.

Kael used to be part of the “Special Army” that defended the world against “monsters.” Fourteen years ago, unknown portals that looked like black holes started to appear all around the world. After the first monster attack, humans gained extraordinary powers. Having learned their lesson, they went and attacked the monsters first before they could strike. Kael was part of the first group of “Extraordinary Humans,” who later called themselves the “Special Army.” He spent the next seven years fighting for peace. He also found the meaning of his life when the person he secretly loved also loved him back. Everything was going well… until they entered an S-Class Dungeon and his special ability was revealed to everyone. A gift of immortality, also known as “Athanasia.” He never could have guessed that his lover, the very person who gave meaning to his life, would be the same person who would take it from him. His lover killed his comrades in front of him one by one, demanding the gift. Kael gave it up willingly, but his lover still killed him in the end. Just when his lover thought he had died, Kael miraculously survived. Seven years later, his lover became the leader of the biggest and most influential guild in the world. Kael planned to live his life in hiding and live peacefully. But he never could have thought that his ex-lover was still obsessed with the “gift,” going as far as hunting each of Kael’s relatives and friends just to get his hands on the “elixir.” Now, Kael is bent on exacting revenge and stopping this monster from being loose. He will do whatever it takes. He can go as far as getting close to his ex-lover’s younger brother and using him for revenge.

Riley Voss has always been invisible. In foster homes, in school, in a world that didn't want to see her, she learned to move through life unnoticed. It kept her safe. It kept her alone. When the virus comes—engineered to target adults, to collapse society, to clear the way for something new—Riley is ready. She has been preparing her whole life without knowing it. But no amount of preparation could have saved her from the men who come for her in the woods. The ones who know her name. The ones who put a needle in her neck and ship her across the ocean with hundreds of other children. She wakes on a military vessel, then on an island she cannot name. She is not a prisoner. She is something worse: chosen. Selected for a project she was never meant to understand. The world ended so a new one could begin. Riley is part of it. She just doesn't know what for yet.

Sagiri was never meant to exist. After his entire clan was wiped out he is the only surviving member and the last keeper yet he doesn't remember. Raised in secrecy and sent to Galka War Academy, he survives among boys trained to kill, endure, and obey. While others rely on strength and discipline, Sagiri carries something older. an echo that sharpens his senses, bends his body, and slowly erodes his humanity. The Echo is the legacy of the N’garu, a legendary clan erased from the world in a single night. They were warriors who could slip between moments, speak to the shadows of the past, and reshape fate with a thought. Their extinction was celebrated across the tribes. Their return is feared more than war. Sagiri carries the last spark of their power. A whispering presence tied to his heartbeat. A force that chooses its own master. But when he crosses paths with Lira, a girl unknowingly created to kill him, the Echo reacts violently breaking the barrier meant to forget and he remembers. Visions flood his mind. Forgotten beings turn their eyes. And the world begins to shift around him. The South wants to crown him. The North wants to erase him. The Echo within him wants something else entirely. And it has finally awakened. https://discord.gg/gMa9tend

Everyone just wants to be happy. Some may call it a happily ever after. But what does that really mean? To be "Happy"? Can everyone be happy? Is it ever too late? Is it just as simple as "Making friends", "Having a good family" or "being successful"? Who knows, and who even cares. At the end of the day, it all sounds like a lie... or is it?

I came to the House of Fame for the things I lost — my name, my image, whatever dignity the public decided I didn’t deserve anymore. They’ll watch everything. Cut it, edit it, turn me into whatever sells better. A fallen hero if I suffer quietly. A villain if I don’t. Fourteen contestants. One winner. Or maybe just one person who walks out. They call this entertainment. Tasks, teams, food as rewards. But something about this place feels wrong. People don’t just get eliminated — they disappear from the conversation like they were never here to begin with. I’m starting to think joining this show was a mistake. But I’m already inside, so I’ll play along. Smile when the cameras want it. Say the right things. Watch everyone back. Because whatever this game really is, losing doesn’t feel like going home.

If someone must become a monster, shouldn’t it be the one who can’t die? For twenty years, the apocalypse has taken the shape of a Game. Every month, millions are summoned. More than half of them never return. In a world where death is mandatory and mercy is punished, immortality isn’t a blessing—it’s a responsibility. Adam doesn’t want power. He doesn’t want control. He only wants the killing to stop. *** MC is a kind man, forced to survive like a monster.

GxG This is a collection of several short stories, each describing an emotion. The emotion can be an integral part of the story. Or it may be mentioned implicitly or explicitly in passing. Nevertheless, it is thanks to this emotion, hidden or not, that the story exists.

expect nothing but the craziest isekai reincarnation as a monster novel you've ever read (but not really i'm trash) Ps not my image will take down if asked.

At the far north of the Atherno Continent, in an unknown village, Kyrian was born as a mere mortal. Weak, insignificant, and destined for oblivion. But he was anything but ordinary. Upon opening his eyes for the first time, they revealed an absolute white eyes without pupils or irises… and with them, an inexplicable innate talent. The ability to see what no one else could. His eyes didn’t just see the particles of spiritual energy, they could steal them. And more than that. Whether intentions, laws, concepts… everything before his vision could be taken by his eyes. When he stole his first Sword Intention, his eyes awakened to the path of the blade. Upon taking the Intention of Ice, another ocular pair was born. With every new stolen intention, his eyes changed, and new ones appeared. Kyrian does not hide them from the world, no, heeding his mother’s last wishes. He uses his gift without fear, with only one goal. To become strong by any means. (This is my first story, so don't expect anything mind-boggling. I just write what I think would be interesting and easy to read. English isn't my first language, so if there are any mistakes, please let me know so I can fix them. Otherwise, enjoy your reading)

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.

MC wakes up in a experimental facility as subject 13. He recognizes the world of Mass effect from playing the video games growing up. But now he has bigger concerns. Surviving being experimented on.

Yuuta Konuari was the weakest, most average guy on Earth. Barely scraping through college. Working a part-time job. Growing up in a quiet orphanage with no family to call his own. Life was simple. Predictable. Lonely. Then fate played a cruel game. One night, he dreamed of a woman. A stunning, powerful Dragon Queen from another world and he slept with her. The dream felt so real that he woke breathless, but he convinced himself it was nothing. Just his lonely mind playing tricks. He forgot about it. He moved on. He continued living in silence for Five year. Until she showed up in his room. Erza, the Dragon Queen, crossed worlds to find him. She brought a child with silver hair, tiny wings, and red eyes that looked exactly like his. A little girl who called him "Papa." She gives him one year. One year to prove himself worthy of being her mate. One year before she kills him for tainting the royal bloodline. Yuuta should be terrified. He is terrified. But he has never had a family before. And Elena with her wagging tail, her boundless curiosity, and her absolute certainty that Papa can fix anything has already claimed his heart. On the surface, this is a story about a mortal man who somehow won the heart of an ice queen. A slice-of-life romance about cooking, dancing, and learning to be a family. It is warm. It is tender. It is the kind of story that makes you believe love can conquer anything. It is not. Beneath the surface, something else lurks. A secret buried in Yuuta's blood. A past he was forced to forget. A truth that connects him to the very monsters hunting them. The scars on his back are not from childhood accidents. The nightmares that wake him screaming are not random. And the woman who swore to kill him is beginning to realize that the mortal she despises is not the villain she imagined. He is the victim. The forgotten son. The boy who was never meant to exist. As enemies close in from both worlds, Yuuta must uncover the truth of his origin before it destroys everything he loves. He does not have magic. He does not have power. He has only his hands, his heart, and the stubborn refusal to let go. He doesn't need to be a hero. He just needs to hold on. But holding on may cost him everything.

"What is in this egg?" asked a person wearing a rice hat, who was holding a golden egg that was glowing a soft warm light. "Currently, nothing much, but a new life. But when older and fully grown it will be the first source dragon, to ever hatch from the powers of each source dragon." explained a silver, golden dragon looking down at the person wearing the rice hat. Who looked up, amazed by this news. "I take it the reason you are letting me even hold it, is because you require help?" the person asked. The dragon chuckled a bit at the person's question. "Yes, while it's still an egg, it is very vulnerable and should it get in the wrongs hands, they might try and use its powers or even take it from it which would kill it. That is why we are asking you, First Spinjitzu Master, to take it and keep it safe, and out of harms way until it has hatched and been able to grow." said the dragon. The First Spinjitzu Master looked back at the egg in his hands as he felt a small movement from it, a soft smile grew on his face at that. "Don't worry, I'll keep it safe from any danger, you have my word Source Dragon of Balance. I'll even have someone help with put a spell on this little one, so most of its powers are locked away until it is ready." Original from Wattpad Discord: https://discord.gg/HfcEVXGahr

“In order to understand, you must first destroy yourself.” Elvio wakes up in a life that fits him perfectly, familiar faces, memories intact, relationships in place, a past he can describe in almost perfect detail. Yet none of it feels lived. His memories feel like files, like a story he memorized rather than lived. His laughter delayed, his nostalgia hollow. But beneath it all is a constant ache in his chest is the unmistakable grief of having lost someone he cannot remember. Unable to ignore the feeling, Elvio begins following fragments of emotion that don’t belong to him or his recorded past. They lead him to a girl who seems just as disconnected from life as he feels from himself, guarded, defensive, and carrying a quiet exhaustion that reflects the emptiness inside him. Drawn to her for reasons he cannot explain, he chooses to stay near her, even as reality itself begins to feel uncertain. As the line between memory and self starts to blur, Elvio is forced to confront a question that grows heavier with each passing day: If you woke up inside a life that fits you perfectly... how would you know it was ever yours?
