After the Great Essence Storm occurred, the world was turned upside down. Humans began to assimilate with the strange energy the catastrophe brought to Earth, transforming those capable of wielding it into superhumans who could accomplish otherworldly feats. Teleportation, cutting rifts into space itself, soaring through the sky - anything was possible for those who could wield this energy. However, the Essence Storm didn't only bring blessings but also many disastrous phenomena. Reko was sent to a rundown containment zone meant for one such phenomenon, along with lowlifes, outcasts of society and other youths, for unknown reasons. Every day, he was forced to enter the mysterious Pit, a death trap filled with Voidbeasts. For years, Reko fought and struggled against the horrors lurking in the dreary, metal halls of the Pit. He had no hope of leaving the containment zone - until one day he began to feel drowsy all the time... A disaster was about to strike, bringing with it an opportunity. Can Reko seize his fate before it is too late?

#NoCP #PlayingPig (This novel is one of my favorites. I’ve gone back and reread it about 5–6 times now.) Jing Shu has seen the end of the world, and it’s literally a storm of epic proportions, and she’s been given the ultimate do-over: a ten-year rewind. Thrown back in time to just two months before everything goes to hell, she has one mission: to make her apocalypse as comfortable as possible. Forget just surviving. While others are scrambling for canned beans, Jing Shu is building a fortified sanctuary, raising soon-to-be-extinct poultry for gourmet meals, and cultivating a garden of forgotten veggies. Armed with a mysterious evolving cube that grants her a private pocket dimension and a magical spirit spring water, she’s set to ride out the disaster in style. But what’s the point of living like a queen if you can’t enjoy a little revenge? The apocalypse is about to get a serious upgrade in style, and Jing Shu can’t wait for her enemies to see what they’re missing. Let them hear the sizzle of her steak and smell the aroma of her barbecue. Their despair is just the seasoning she needs. In a world where humanity itself is changing, mutating into powerful "New Humans" fused with the chaos, Jing Shu is ready to evolve right along with them. She’s got her cube, her spring, and a plan. The storm is coming, and she has a front-row seat. === English Original Title:《I'm planting a field in the end times》 (Note: Title adapted for tone and readability while preserving the story’s core themes.)

I’m posting the Reddit “Basic Cut” version here because not everyone uses Reddit, and I notoriously take forever dropping the long-form chapters. This cut is the faster, funnier, horror-comedy version — the one that originally ran as a bite-sized serial. Think of it as the “aired on TV” edit while I’m still polishing the full Glitchstab Grotesque director’s cut. Same characters, same chaos, just in a shorter runtime. Until the longer version drops, you get this one to snack on, scream at, and laugh through. Welcome to the Hasherverse — a world where horror tropes are real, slashers are Class-ranked monsters, and murder is treated like performance art. Hashers are the poor souls signed up to stop them, or die trying, or both in the same shift. At the center are Nicky and Vicky: a banshee-blooded tactician with glowing nails and a grindhouse narrator problem, and a dryad–dark elf hybrid with a divine shield and the emotional availability of a haunted sinkhole. They’re not a couple, just battle partners, co-parents, roommates, and accidental fake-married infiltrators who refuse to talk about it. Their missions spiral through cursed cabins, ritual towns, and glitching kill zones, rewriting horror scripts as they go — and if you like brutal monster logic, slow-burn chaos, and found-family forged in blood and bad decisions, welcome to the job.

the truth, as immutable as it is, is very easily hidden. when it is uncovered, to what lengths will the privileged go to to hide it once again?

She was a famous assassin who had killed important figures, but ironically, she was killed by her own lover. And when she thought she was dead, it turned out she was occupying the soul of a young girl who was tricked by her own family. 'Because I have been reborn, I will take revenge on the people who planned my murder and also teach a lesson to the people who underestimated the girl whose soul I reside in!' However, things become complicated when she has to marry a cold man, whom she spent the night with.

Silver-Winged Snake Beastman Owen was wandering when he accidentally saved a heavily injured Omegina; he happily brought the person back to prepare for mating. Before he could even touch the Omegina, Owen was thrown over the shoulder by him. Owen lay on the ground, staring at the deep blue sky, feeling his worldview crumbling. Aren't all Omeginas supposed to be very weak? Aren't all Omeginas supposed to be very timid? Why is the future mate he found so ferocious? ... Rowan was a top-tier Alpha during the era of interstellar warfare; during a battle, he accidentally transmigrated to a strange world. While struggling to survive, Rowan was mistaken for an Omegina by Owen, who rescued him with the intention of laying eggs together. Rowan had screamed no fewer than a hundred times: I am not an Omegina, I am not! Unfortunately, no one believed him... ... *World Setting: 1. Rowan's original world: The Mecha Era, set against the backdrop of a war with the Insect Race. There are three genders in this world: Alpha, Beta, and Omega. 2. The world Rowan transmigrated to: A primitive Beastman world with two genders. Beastmen can transform into beast forms for combat. Omeginas are similar to male Omegas in Rowan's original world: frail and capable of reproduction. 3. Forms of address for parents: Beastman fathers are called "Daddy". Omegina fathers are called "Papa". ... *A few words from the author: This story mainly revolves around the courtship journey of the Silver-Winged Snake Beastman Owen. It contains elements of war, tribe building, and civilization construction; however, these are not explored deeply, so please do not expect too much. There may be many inconsistencies, so I hope for your understanding. Happy reading!

Naples, Italy — sun-drenched coasts, mocking classmates, and a life Giovanni Russo never asked to escape. Until his father dies in a "car accident" and leaves him a 3,000-year-old Trojan bronze ring. Trapped inside is Alethea — the last High Priestess of Apollo, betrayed by the gods themselves, her silver hair and amber eyes frozen in time. She calls him Master. He calls her the most dangerous thing that’s ever looked at him like he’s worth saving. When the Vatican’s Inquisition, the Camorra mafia, and corrupt politicians all come for the ring, Giovanni learns the fall of Troy was never the end. It was the beginning of a curse that’s been waiting for him. From bullied nobody to the final Ringbearer, from master-and-servant contract to a love the gods themselves forbade — under Vesuvius’ molten glow and the Tyrrhenian moon, they’ll tear Olympus apart to write their own ending. “If the gods want you dead,” she whispers, fingers tracing the mark she left on his chest, “I’ll burn their heaven down and salt the ashes.” A slow-burn Romantasy where ancient betrayal meets modern bullets, and a boy and his imprisoned elf priestess fall hard enough to break destiny itself.

Li Er finds himself transported to a fantasy realm where extraordinary powers reign. As a pioneering lord, he must venture into perilous wildernesses to carve out his domain.

In a world torn apart by the undead, survival is no longer about just staying alive. It’s about who you’re willing to trust, what you’re willing to give up, and how far you’ll go to feel something human again. Iyisha Clarke, a young doctor with more instinct than experience, crosses paths with Malcolm Briggs, a former Navy SEAL carrying wounds deeper than just the physical. They didn’t plan to travel together, much less depend on each other. But between dodging zombies, stolen kisses, and broken boundaries, their connection becomes harder to ignore. Supplies are scarce, safe zones are shady, and sex in a zombie apocalyptic world is messier than it sounds. Some people are trying to rebuild. Others are just trying to breathe. And somewhere between a dying government and whispered hope, Iyisha and Malcolm might find more than just survival. They might find a reason to live. P.S. Though romance, the romance is slow burn so please be warned. First chapters are survival.

Time didn’t stop when Arin died— it simply forgot which version of him was supposed to stay dead. Now he wakes in shattered realities that bleed into one another: a burning lab that never burned, a childhood memory with the wrong faces, a future city screaming his name in alarms he hasn’t triggered yet. Something is hunting him through timelines, continents, and corrupted echoes, stitching lies into his past and rewriting the truth faster than he can chase it. And every time he gets close to an answer, a whisper follows him from the dark: “You didn’t survive the explosion, Arin. You caused it.”

Trapped in a monastery of breathtaking nuns, Charles recognizes them from Witch Monastery—they’re monsters in saintly disguises, hungry for his flesh.

༺❘✦ 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. Easy, right? Except that now he's neck-deep in Dungeons and Distorted Realms — and just a little too fixated on Llewellyn's mastery in battle. And everything else.

Eryndor always dreamed of worlds filled with magic and adventure—until he discovered that his own world was nothing but an illusion. After years of study and isolation, he finds a way to rewrite reality and awakens in a universe where everything feels like it came straight out of his favorite stories. Yet not everything is as he imagined. Hidden forces rise against the change, and Kael soon realizes that creating a new world is only the beginning of his true journey.

The world of Rohana exists beneath a barrier of luminous crosses that has enclosed humanity in a dome. Within it, the Rohana Federation bends to Rohai, a godlike figure whose staff bears seven crystals of immense power. His Church of Harmony has divided the world into city dwellers who harness crystal technology to live in advancement and comfort, and villagers who reject these powers, cling to simpler traditions, staying beyond the Church's reach. Haran Baratti fled his homeland and, along with his son Heron, sought refuge in Haugstad. Perhaps it was the will of the Creators, but after several star cycles of found peace, a tragedy strikes, leaving Heron to find himself alone with a mission to return to Tiwaz. The problem is that Tiwaz is in a different kingdom, a whole world away, and to get there, he'll need a special passport. One way to obtain it is to join an adventuring party that does international jobs. Heron will have to navigate a world of mechanical cities powered by crystalline powers and governed by various social structures. There he'll meet allies and face dangerous foes. And all of them have secrets; some of them, if revealed to the public, may reshape the very foundations of the Rohana Federation. Will Heron, in learning those secrets, realize that maybe some of those secrets should have stayed buried? What to expect: ‣ Dark steampunk-inspired power fantasy with extensive world-building ‣ Magic systems where power comes at a psychological cost ‣ Visceral, well-choreographed combat sequences ‣ Mysteries that unfold across multiple volumes ‣ Steampunk aesthetics merged with elemental magic ‣ Stories where the actors are often found in morally grey areas ------------------------------------------- Chapters are broken into subchapters and are released daily.

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch endlessly and horrors—born from beyond existence and from within—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by nightmares that never fade, where survival is measured not in victories but in the ability to endure another day. The Common Era, an age where the very concept of happiness has been abandoned. Here, no story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is enough to end you before you even realize it. If you looked strong, if you felt strong, if you were strong—was it ever enough? Strength itself is questioned here, tested not only by battle but by the world’s unrelenting weight and the collapse of all things. Trust is a fragile mask, loyalty nothing more than a fleeting dream. In such a place, how long can one endure before breaking? What if you didn’t even know who your real family was, where you came from, or whether you had the right to claim even a fragment of Terra as your own? --- I'm pretty excited to come back here after literal months of being away, i haven't updated since i felt it had no real place, it didn't feel real enough, well; as realistic as i wanted it tbh. The characters I had were either to much of this or that and didn't have struggles that felt meaningful. So i toned down how strong the mc is and will be along other things. I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. long ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace. 09/25

Sonderveld is a land of contradictions - winter and summer unfolding at the same time, daylight fractured by rolling fog, and the monstrous Herd that drifts across the plains like a natural disaster. Life is fragile, shaped by forces no one fully understands. The Book Of The Four Sons follows Auden, a struggling scavenger trying to keep his family alive who is dragged into an underground world of ancient rituals and forgotten gods. What he thought was a simple act of survival becomes the first step into a larger and far more terrifying fate - one that binds his body and mind to powers older than history. Inspired by the surreal, dark-fantasy worlds of Fear and Hunger, Dark Souls and Berserk, this is a must-read for anyone drawn to unpredictable, nightmarish adventures and esoteric lore.
