"' I CURSE YOU '" "You will fall asleep deeper than death itself. A slumber from which no dawn will wake you. You will remain trapped in that endless darkness — not for years, not for ages — but for eternity. Until the stars burn out, until the last breath of the universe fades, until every point of existence collapses into nothing."

The world is collapsing. The gods are reincarnating. And the only man trying to hold everything together… is a roofer. Shane Albright was just a blue-collar contractor trying to keep his crew sober and his construction business alive. He understood the weight of a bundle of shingles and the cost of a bad step on a steep roof. He did not expect to become the structural support of the universe. Everything changes when Shane receives the Celestial Proxy System. What begins as a strange HUD helping him run job sites quickly evolves into something far larger. As the system grows, Shane discovers the world is being quietly dismantled by Apex Negativa, a hidden architect of entropy feeding on division, addiction, and chaos. The System wasn’t built to make Shane powerful. It was built to make him responsible. But Shane isn’t just a contractor with a cosmic cheat code. He is the Scion of the Triple Anchor—born from the essence of the Norn of the Present, the God of Justice, and the God of Silence. As civilization collapses and ancient gods awaken in mortal bodies, Shane begins rebuilding something stronger than governments—communities. Because fate has already decided how this story ends. Ragnarok must happen. And when the world burns, someone will have to rebuild what comes after. Shane Albright just wants to make sure the roof of the world doesn’t leak. ⸻ Gods fight the war. Shane rebuilds the world afterward.

Armed with a new Evolution System that rewards him for every creature he consumes or defeats, Adam begins his grueling climb from a helpless morsel to a cunning hunter.

I was reborn into the world of Dragon Ball—as Son Goku. Yeah. That Son Goku. As a reincarnator, I knew exactly what was coming: Planet-destroying tyrants, time-traveling androids, gods of destruction, and multiverse tournaments… Crisis after crisis, each worse than the last. And in the original timeline, only the pure-hearted, battle-junkie Goku barely scraped through each time. But me? I’m just an imposter wearing his skin. How far could I really go? …Well, screw it.

Synopsis I was once an ordinary office worker until I woke up inside a novel where my death was the centerpiece. Before the story could even begin, I found myself standing at its end. White hair. Crimson eyes. A body that wasn’t mine. And a battlefield soaked in blood. With no memories to guide me and death already closing in, I followed a mysterious thread of light just to survive only to realize something far worse: I wasn’t just a side character. I was the tragedy the story was built upon. But if fate had already written my ending. Then I’d simply rewrite it. This time, I won’t die quietly. And if the world insists on making me its villain… Then I’ll become something far more terrifying.

Kael Viremont woke up to the stench of mold and a title that was basically a death warrant. He wasn’t the golden child or the brave war hero. He was the spare—the family embarrassment dumped on a rotting frontier estate that even the gods had given up on. He was left with nothing but starving people, hostile neighbors, and a "curse" that kept the locals whispering in the dark. The world expected him to roll over and die quietly. But they dragged the wrong man into this mess. Back in his old life, Kael didn’t pray for solutions; he engineered them. He doesn’t care about noble bloodlines or the "divine right" to rule. While the other lords are busy stabbing each other in the back for scraps of land, Kael is in the dirt. He’s fixing the plows. He’s organizing the workers. He’s turning a graveyard into a powerhouse by treating magic like a math problem that’s long overdue for a solution. But there’s a reason this land was abandoned. Something is buried deep under the Viremont soil—a secret that proves the world’s history is a lie. Now that Kael is digging, the powers that be are starting to notice. The shadows are moving, and the "miracles" are starting to bleed. Kael didn’t claw his way back from the dead just to survive a few seasons. He’s here to build something unshakeable. If the laws of reality don't like his plans, he’ll just have to break them and build something better.

"F**K! I'm dead!" That was the first word I muttered after regaining my memories from Earth. Reincarnating into a world of cultivation should’ve been a blessing. Adventure, immortality, power—what’s not to love? But then I remembered what my family did. My sister just broke off an engagement with a crippled young master—definitely a future protagonist. My mother ripped a Dao Bone from my cousin and gave it to me—guaranteed future revenge arc. And me? I’m already a third-rate villain: bullying weaklings and flaunting my Bai Clan name. Worst part? Despite the Dao Bone, I’m still trash at cultivation. My only hope? The System... which I’ve had for years. “I just never realized... It was in English!”

Civilization has collapsed, and survival is no longer a choice—it is a constant battle. Trapped within the walls of a once-ordinary school, a group of teenage students and their teachers find themselves fighting for their lives against the relentless threat of zombies. With danger lurking in every corridor, they must rely on courage, strategy, and each other to stay alive. But survival isn’t just about escaping the infected. Inside the school, emotions run just as wild—fear, hatred, revenge, guilt, and the crushing weight of loss. Every character carries their own story, their own pain, and their own reason to keep going. Amid the chaos and bloodshed, unexpected bonds begin to form. In a world falling apart, even the smallest moments of love and hope shine brighter than ever. When trust is fragile and death is always one step away… How far will they go to survive?

When gods wage war, mortals pay the price. What's worse: death... or immortality that will never come? Long before humanity reached the stars, two artificial gods waged war.

Now the ancient war awakens again. Civilizations tremble. Androids rise. And the truth about immortality could destroy everything. Because when gods wage war... mortals pay the price. But sometimes all it takes is one mistake to change the fate of an entire galaxy.

Declan Cross awakens in the toxic haze of Zaun, transmigrated into the starving body of a street kid within Vander’s found family. He isn't there to be a hero; he is the host for the Undercity Exploitation Network, a parasitic system that converts human suffering into Despair Essence. While Vi and Powder dream of a better world, Declan calculates the profit in their pain, navigating a city where kindness is a "Mercy Debt" that physically cripples him. As the timeline marches toward the inevitable tragedy at the warehouse, he must decide if he will save his new family or harvest their legendary innocence for ultimate power. Interestingly, the system grants him total immunity to Shimmer, turning the Undercity's greatest curse into his personal playground.

Breakthroughs follow one after another, shaking the world. “Starting from a Feebas?!” the Water-type Elite Four gasp. “Dragon-types are completely countered?!” the Dragon-type Elite Four despair. Mega Evolution ignites the battlefield. Z-Moves rend the sky. Gigantamax towers over Champions themselves. Before the cameras, Oliver states calmly: “If you don’t aim to lead the field, you’re not a true Pokémon breeder.”
