The Darkness claimed him. "Why struggle to chase the Heavens when you can simply devour them?"

He will drag them into his domain. The Sovereign has awakened.

In 1943, on the outskirts of Verdant Crescent, two young brothers - Vernon (9) & Bruce (8)- live hidden from the world in a lonely house surrounded by the forest. Their parents, once celebrated as the Sages of Innovation, revolutionized the study of Qi and Mana Heights, a breakthrough meant to heal the sick, strengthen the weak, and change medicine forever. But everything changed when their research was stolen, twisted, and weaponized into instruments of war. Branded as the creators of humanity's newest horrors, the parents were hunted, persecuted, and erased from the history they helped build. One quiet night beneath the stars, as the brothers look through their father's telescope, the world finally catches up to them. The home is attacked. Flames swallow the night. Their mother sacrifices herself to buy them time. Now the boys escape into the darkness with their father - wounded, silent, carrying truths even heavier than the children can imagine. But Vernon and Bruce will soon learn: Their parents' lost research was only the beginning. The world will hunt them next - not for who they are, but for what they might become. With rumours spreading that the brothers inherited the forbidden power, the world sees them as future monsters… long before they ever choose a path. As they grow, grief and misunderstanding twist their fates in different ways: Vernon, forced to mature too young, sees humanity's hatred as proof the world deserves to burn. Bruce, still gentle despite everything, wonders if he can save what despises him. Between war, magic, and the weight of a legacy they never asked for, the brothers must uncover the truth behind the Lost Designs, the real reason their mother died, and the shadowy forces that turned the world against their family. And in the end, the world may marvel… Are these boys humanity's doom… or its only hope? --- "Knowledge is a lantern. Passed down, it becomes a torch." - Alice Lily

Matías Castleboard was the last shield of a doomed humanity. Born in an era where death was law, he learned too soon that innocence never survives war. He was a soldier, a hero… and a murderer. He died seeking peace, yet his soul found no rest. Reborn as Kael Lanpar, heir to one of the most powerful clans in the continent of Mayora, he now lives in a world of ancient magic, forgotten races, mythical creatures, and gods who play with the threads of fate. But the past never truly dies. The scars of his former life bleed into this one, and with every memory that awakens, Kael is dragged deeper into a question few could bear to face: Can a second life offer redemption… or only more damnation? Because some truths should never be known. And as Kael uncovers the mysteries of this world —and of himself— he will learn that knowledge does not always set you free. Sometimes, it destroys you. At the end of his path, no enemy awaits him… Only something far more terrifying: a consciousness that sees everything— and a truth that can never be unlearned. A dark, introspective fantasy about second chances, wounds that transcend lifetimes, and the price of understanding too much. Perfect for readers who seek not just battles… but meaning.

Ansh never wanted to be a hero. Born with a Trident Mark that ties him to an ancient sealed horror called the Nightmare, he’s spent his life learning to hold back — to keep the people he loves safe. Siya, his twin, is the light he clings to; Yami and Baba are the family he chooses. When Chhaya arrives — a hard, sapphire-marked mentor with more questions than answers — Ansh is forced into brutal training. The lessons aren’t about strength alone. They’re about seeing: Void Sense slows time and tests the mind, and without control, power is a curse. Outside the training ground, the world stirs. A network of hunters and scholars track relics that hum with long-buried magic, and the discovery that more relics exist than anyone believed turns quiet lives into a battlefield. Loyalties will be tested, secrets will surface, and survival will demand choices. If you like character-driven fantasy that balances found-family warmth with hard, consequence-laden progression — slow-burn training, moral stakes, and a creeping relic hunt that pulls ordinary people into extraordinary danger — follow Ansh as he learns what it really costs to be chosen.

In a world where Shadows are hunted like monsters, Kato Hamura is forced to live as one after a mysterious transformation.

With only a handful of trusted allies, he must navigate a society built on fear and hatred to protect the people he loves and to discover who he truly is.

"Is this death?" Food. Water. A blanket. A roof. For a crippled, homeless boy like Dante, that was all he ever wanted. But until his last breath, he couldn't live the happy life he dreamed of. When he finally accepted death, he opened his eyes only to find himself in a supernatural world. A world where logic doesn't make sense and where magic isn't fairytales. And his body? It's the body of a real demonic dragon rather than his old one. Before he could understand what was happening, a spinning axe buried itself into his skull… yet he stayed conscious. Feeling that sharp, immense pain, Dante realized—he was being hunted. Hell had just begun. But whether it was his or his enemies'… no one could tell. ¢¢¢ Regarding the MC's morality: he'll keep changing. I can only promise that by the end of the story, he won't be a dark villain. Regarding r18: It's mainly for the gore and dark theme (medieval settings with no religions, I want to take my freedom in writing this). If you're here for smut, then you can leave. anything like smut will be described in a suggestive way or only mentioned quickly without description (and that's only if it's necessary, I hate smut and I won't fill the story with fanservice) Regarding romance: Slow romance (and a bit late), No Smut, Single FL, No Ntr, No Yuri, No Yaoi, No Useless FL, probably no Tsundere (Idk how to write a good tsundere fl).

Story of two people, Paul [Paweł] from Terra [Earth] - Poland; and Meteo from Androm. Action starts in the year 1668 of Andromedian Calendar, equivalent to Terra's 2023 year in Gregorian Calendar. However, due to the relativity of distance between the Milky Way and Andromeda, Paul comes from the year 2028, year which symbolized the beginning of Russia's attack on Poland after successfully defeating Ukraine. Ignoring the warnings from NATO and European Union, Russia gabled and attacked Poland from the direction of Ukraine border, resulting in massive damage to the civilian life. Destroying hospitals with artillery, gas stations with drones, hacking all local networks, preventing the information spreading immediately, freezing any resistance possibility of united movement from Poland and other European counties.

The world ends in a single moment. When the Mass Outbreak Event shatters reality, portals tear open across the globe, unleashing monsters that drive civilization to collapse. As cities burn and order crumbles, a game-like System activates across humanity, granting survivors levels, skills, and abilities, and forcing the world into a brutal new set of rules. Eighteen-year-old Jagger Ashton is dragged into this new reality where monsters are only part of the danger. Humans, twisted by power, fear, and desperation, prove just as deadly. Every encounter pushes Jagger closer to the edge, testing his sanity and the fragile line between control and corruption. Jagger begins to uncover a terrifying truth. The Outbreak was not just an invasion. It was a selection process. The System is preparing the world for something far worse. And whatever is coming… it wants strong survivors. To survive what lies ahead, Jagger must confront the power festering inside him and choose whether to master it or surrender to it entirely.

In a world where power is not taken, but woven, supremacy belongs to those who can pull the right threads—of fate, will, and blood. Aerthos is governed by invisible laws: magic bound by conceptual weight, authority shaped by belief, and strength measured not just in force, but in what reality is willing to tolerate. Kings fall not to swords, but to decisions made too late. Gods watch, but do not intervene—unless the balance demands it. At the center of this world stands Aren Locke, a gifted yet dangerously detached young man who believes one thing above all: If he does not choose, someone worse will. Thrown into a brutal system that forges leaders, soldiers, and rulers under the guise of order, Aren is forced to confront a truth few are willing to face—power does not corrupt; it reveals. Each step forward tightens unseen threads around him, binding him to outcomes he cannot escape. As factions collide, ancient forces stir, and morality erodes under pressure, Aren must decide what kind of supremacy he is willing to claim: • Rule through control • Rule through sacrifice • Or rule by becoming something the world cannot justify killing With allies who may one day become enemies, and enemies who speak uncomfortable truths, Aren’s ascent reshapes not only his fate—but the structure of Aerthos itself. Because in the end, supremacy is not about standing above others. It is about deciding who is allowed to fall. "Power is not seized. It is permitted."

A code monkey is reborn as an Uchiha (Tahara Rokuro). The looming threat of the clan’s annihilation night hangs over him like a sword, constantly reminding the protagonist that he must grow stronger to survive. Question: How do you successfully get through the Night of the Uchiha Massacre? Answer: Defeat those two maniacs — Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito! How to beat them? Relying on raw talent won’t work — those two are practically Kishimoto’s chosen sons, and the protagonist doesn’t have a 【System】 or any golden finger. While he’s fretting, he learns basic fūinjutsu (sealing techniques) from his mother. Seeing how even Kaguya was ultimately defeated by sealing techniques in the grand finale, the protagonist catches a glimpse of hope. He soon realizes that the spells and inscriptions that compose sealing arts resemble programming code — and thus a coder-Uchiha is born. “Itachi and Obito may have the talent, but talent bows to cash. I’ll become the top spender in the shinobi world — gear them to death!” Author:  宅家老王 NOTE: I do not own the original story, characters, or any associated content.

“Doing the wrong thing for the right reason… never ends well for anyone.” Seven great races ruled the continent of Eldarion. Humans weren’t among them. To the world, mankind was nothing more than background noise, as insignificant as a breath of air, as laughable as a failed joke of creation. A race with no promise. No power. No future. Tyler was born into that world—a world where every “hero of humanity” was fated to fall before they could rise. So he abandoned the path of heroes entirely. He chose the road stained in shadows. He chose the power no sane soul would touch. He chose to become a demon— not for glory, but for survival. His purpose was simple: Ascend as the Demon King. Stand as a monstrous shield when the true invaders finally tear into their continent. And he succeeded. He rose higher, darker, and stronger than any being before him. But power has a price. A price he only understood when it was far too late. For in climbing toward salvation, He became the very abomination he once swore to destroy— The Desecrator. And the world whispered: “There is no lesser or greater evil. There is only evil.” Yet a more profound truth lingered in the dark: “Because sometimes, only one Evil can devour another.” *** Discord - https://discord.gg/4xbt5Nwrtn *** #Yandere #ComplexCharacters #NoHarem #Dark #RareBloodline #Magic #Slowburn #FatedLove #Demons #Dragons #Otherworlders #RunicSorcery #Evil-FL

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

In this world, the soul is power. And power is absolute. Some seek to purify it. Others want to rip it out, inject it, crush it in order to possess it. But he can see it. And devour it. This is the story of Abel, a child shattered by the loss of his city and his loved ones, who becomes an experimental subject in a complex that transforms bodies into living weapons. Plunged into the depths of his being, he returns to himself... changed. Something inhabits him. Someone. As the organization responsible for his suffering expands its hold in the shadows and their victims multiply, Abel sets himself a new goal. He no longer wants to survive. He wants to understand. To take revenge, to avenge them. Even at the cost of his own humanity. In a world where souls can be tampered with, where Essence shapes empires and pantheons, many destinies converge and one truth remains: those who play god will burn in his flames.
