I sold my future to a stranger to save my family from ruin. The price? A one-year marriage contract with billionaire Alexander Vance..a man as cold as he is devastatingly handsome. He gets a wife to secure his inheritance; I get the money to clear our debts. No emotions, no strings, no messy feelings. But our carefully constructed world shatters when two lines appear on a pregnancy test. The rules of our contract are clear: no children. Now, I’m carrying a secret that could destroy us both. He married me for a business deal, but can I dare to hope he’ll want this baby… and want me?

They say when you hit rock bottom, there’s nowhere left to fall. Yeah, that’s bullshit. I found a way to dig deeper. I didn’t exactly plan to die that night. I just stopped trying to stay alive. Twenty-eight years old, broke, drinking whatever didn’t taste like piss, working a job that barely qualified as “existing.” So when the alarms went off and everyone started running from the Eidolon attack, I just… didn’t. Figured if a monster was gonna eat someone, might as well save it the trouble of chasing. Except I didn’t die. Lucky me, right? Turns out the thing that got me wasn’t your average alleyway nightmare; it was an SS-Rank Eidolon, the kind people make horror movies about and then still underestimate. It was dying too, so instead of finishing me off, it did something no one thought possible. It crawled inside my head. Now I’ve got a voice in my skull that calls itself Dakavoth, sounds like a bored god and talks like he pays for rent in my head. Says we’re “connected,” whatever that means. I say he’s a parasite. We’ve agreed to disagree. So here I am, stuck between being human and something else entirely. Every day’s a balancing act: kill the monsters, pop the suppressants, pretend I’m not one of them. And try not to listen when the voice in my head tells me how much better I could be if I just let go. I’m not a hero. Hell, I’m barely a person. But when the darkness comes crawling out of the cracks again, and everyone else is too scared to move… I’ll be there. Not because it’s right. But because someone’s got to do it, and I already stopped caring if I make it out alive.

In this world humans think they are the pinnacle of everything that no one can stop them, but what happens when they are proven wrong.

Aaron Smith encounters a weeping lady by the bridge and tries to help her, thinking she might be attempting suicide. Instead, she turns out to be a ghost that kills him with a heart attack.

Elizabeth or Liz Hale grew up in the shadow of her older brother, a brilliant awakened warrior who carried their family from poverty into comfort. He was her role model, her anchor, and the only person who ever truly saw her. But when he entered his third Nightmare and never returned, Liz’s world collapsed. Left alone with parents who cared more for status than grief, Liz shut herself inside the training yard, living in a quiet routine of isolation. She no longer knew why she trained, only that stopping would mean facing a reality she wasn’t ready to accept. Now, as she prepares for her own first Nightmare, Liz must confront the legacy of her brother’s sacrifice, and the expectations of a world obsessed with Awakened heroes ----------------------------------------------------- Female MC No Harem **** Extra note: This was one of the first fanfics I ever wrote a long time ago, but I gave up on it. I was rereading it, and I think I might keep working on it. However, I do need some advice, as I feel like I wrote myself into a wall back then and i am not sure where to scrap it from. That’s why I’m posting it early just comment on what you think went wrong, and I will rewrite it into a better version, if not i will just go on with my other fanfic.

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...

She thought it was an ordinary day—until a portal of violet light tore her world apart. Dragged into a realm of swords and crowns, the unnamed narrator awakens in a stranger’s body, dressed in linen, with a terrified child clutching her hand. Soldiers hunt them, shouting for “the woman the Emperor wants.” The boy calls her “Mother.” He calls her Aria. When the golden-haired, blood-eyed Emperor arrives, the truth shatters what little sanity she has left—he’s Darius, the husband who vanished years ago. The same man she believed to be a humble hunter. And the boy, Elian, is their son. But she isn’t Aria... is she? Her memories fracture and blur—two lives tangled in one body. The Emperor claims her as his lost wife, the future Empress of a ruthless empire. She calls him a liar. Trapped in his palace, torn between love, rage, and disbelief, Aria vows to protect her child from the monster who calls himself her husband. Yet Darius isn’t just a tyrant—he’s a man consumed by obsession, determined to make her remember the past she keeps denying. Every encounter is a battle. Every kiss, a war. And somewhere deep inside her mind, a voice keeps whispering— “Run, Aria. Run before it’s too late.”

He died saving a stranger. He woke up as a dead man's son. Aerin's last memory of Earth was pushing a little girl out of a truck's path. His first memory in this new world was waking up in a freezing cell, starving in a body that wasn't his own. The original Aerin Arclight died three months ago—the sole survivor of a massacre that killed his entire noble family. Now, with a stranger's soul in his corpse and a mysterious grimoire that refuses to open, the new Aerin has one chance to survive: pass the entrance exam to Arcanis Sanctum, the world's most prestigious magic academy. But when blood touches his blank grimoire, something awakens. Sangreal. The Bloodbound Sovereign Sword. A legendary weapon with a heartbeat. A blade that feeds on its wielder's blood in exchange for devastating power. The same cursed sword that the Crimson Emperor used seventy years ago to nearly destroy the world. And everyone at the academy recognizes it. Suddenly, the beggar boy in rags becomes the most feared student in the academy. Nobles whisper his family name with dread. Assassins hunt him in the shadows. And at the center of it all stands Seren Moonveil—the silver-haired prodigy whose family once stopped the Crimson Emperor. She's beautiful. She's deadly. And she's been sent to the academy with one mission: find the wielder of Sangreal and kill him before history repeats itself. The problem? Neither of them expected to fall for each other. As Aerin struggles to control a sword that grows stronger with every drop of blood he feeds it, he discovers a terrible truth: his ancestor didn't go mad. The Crimson Emperor saw something the world refused to believe Every spell cast. Every grimoire opened. Every mage in the world is unknowingly feeding a cosmic horror that's been devouring souls for centuries. Now Aerin must make an impossible choice: Become the monster everyone fears and finish what his ancestor started—destroying all magic to save humanity. Or find another way before the sword, the girl hunting him, or the thing hiding behind magic kills him first.

༺❘✦ Ryo thought moderating online fan drama about Llewellyn — the world's most famous hero — was the worst part of his job... ...Then the System decided online arguments count as combat experience, and sent him straight into battle as Llewellyn's partner! His role? Magical crisis management, wrangling unstable Elemental forces, and helping tackle whatever magic is currently warping reality — all while keeping the world's most powerful hero alive.
