Baldia is the last human nation on Earth, surrounded by a sea of monster-filled Islands that sprouted from the ocean a century ago and nearly wiped out mankind. The only thing standing between Baldia and extinction is its Raiders — humans who absorb Particles from Island fragments to gain magic and superhuman strength, and are legally bound to fight until they die.

He wanted to save the people no one else was saving. First he'll have to figure out how to stay alive.

In a world vast—far beyond the scope of human perception. A world where all kinds of treasures and secrets lie hidden, yet humans still clash over power while a far greater threat looms over them. Amid pain, suffering, fleeting joys, and even moments of true happiness—whether among the noble or the common, whether with family or strangers—when survival becomes the ultimate goal, the true nature of humanity emerges. Anas, guided by what humans fear and despise most—curiosity and the pursuit of survival—along with his companions, traverses this expansive world. But can this world hold more than just pain, suffering, and chaos? Or will it crush them on their path toward their goal? Perhaps it will transform them into something they never imagined… or maybe something they did. No one knows, right? Even amid ruins and blood, a lily always manages to break the rules and bloom, mocking the world itself. Or will it be cut down? In the end… nothing ever goes according to plan in this world. Can you adapt to the unexpected, or will you let it crush you?

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.

Etan non ha mai conosciuto un solo istante di vera solitudine. Da che ha memoria, una voce tagliente, cinica e pericolosamente intuitiva di nome Tsuki vive nella sua mente.

In a city shaped by a shadowy system that manipulates lives before individuals can decide, a young operative named Scott awakens to the truth: he was trained to obey before he could even choose. Haunted by visions of a younger version of himself—the boy who should have been free—Scott begins to unravel the control mechanisms that shaped him. After surviving a near-fatal incident on a subway platform, he is forced into the open, publicly visible and labeled dangerous. With the help of Morgan, a former insider who understands the system’s inner workings, and Lisa, a girl connected to his past, Scott begins a dangerous journey to reclaim agency—not just for himself, but for the innocents manipulated around him. As Scott faces tests that force him to make choices without guidance, the system escalates quietly, using reputation, doubt, and perception to control him. Each decision weighs on him morally and psychologically, and each act of defiance provokes a new, more subtle threat. Through exposure, public confrontation, and refusal to comply, Scott forces the system to confront something it was never built to measure: human choice. In the climax, Scott, Lisa, and Morgan present their case directly to the system, exposing its human cost and demanding accountability. The system is forced into uncertainty, and for the first time, its authority is constrained—not by destruction, but by witness, truth, and moral courage. In this world where obedience was optimized, Scott discovers that real freedom comes not from control, but from choosing to stand human in an inhuman system

I remember the life I lived before this one—a life of fleeting mortality, ignorance, and helplessness. But that life ended, and in its place, I was reborn—not as a man, but as Hades, eldest son of Cronus, King of Naziru, First Throne of the Triarchs, Supreme Chief, All-Father of the gods… the architect of destiny itself. I was given a second chance to rewrite the past, to bend time and power to my will, for the Great Devourer comes—a force that will consume everything I love, every world, every life. And I will not fail. I will master all pantheons, forge empires from the bones of gods, and carve my name into history so absolute that even eternity will bend to my design. I am Hades. I am the king of all thrones, the inheritor of every divine secret, the master of life, death, and fate. The world may tremble at the shadow of my ambition, but it is my world to protect—and my enemies, even gods, will learn that I am no mere son of Cronus. I am its savior, its conqueror, and its last hope.

When the entire world is suddenly forced into a mysterious survival game controlled by a global system, 10,000 people must compete—but only 100 can survive.

A gripping mix of psychological strategy, survival action, and RPG-style power progression.

Kael did not choose to die. A flooded underpass. Cold water. A Tuesday night that ended without warning — and then darkness that felt less like death and more like a door. He wakes up face-down in ash, in a world where the sun has been dead for three hundred years. A world called Valdrek, where the dead do not stay dead, where souls are currency, and where warlords called Soul-Lords harvest the energy of the dying to rule over the rest. Kael has nothing. No weapon, no power, no knowledge of this world's language. He cannot speak a single word anyone here understands. But Valdrek's instruments crack when they try to read his soul. Its soldiers look at him like they have seen something that should not exist. And the dead — the carefully preserved, ceremonially silent dead — begin to move when he is near them. His soul is whole. Unbroken. In a world built entirely on fractures, that makes him the most dangerous thing anyone has ever encountered. He just does not know it yet. Neither do they — but they are beginning to suspect. [Isekai] [Dark Fantasy] [Soul Power] [Survival] [Weak to Strong]

This is Book 2 of The Soulfire Chronicles. The Rise of the Flamebearer told the story of how I survived. This is the story of what it cost me. Alaric and Evelyne, my beloved husband and dear cousin, two people I trusted and loved, betrayed me with each other and had me burned alive. My mother sacrificed her life to bring me back before my execution date. I remembered every betrayal before it happened, and I used all of it. The affair. The stolen assets.
