Kell Sterling went out for a game and a snack. He woke up in R’lyeh. When the frozen ocean split open and alien creatures swarmed the city, humanity wasn’t conquered—it was harvested. Kell watched people dragged away, experimented on, broken. When the aliens chose a child, he stepped forward and volunteered to take her place. He died for that choice. Then he died again. And again. And again. A god older than the sea rebuilt him through hundreds of brutal deaths, reshaping him into the vessel it wanted—an eldritch lord carved from shadow, blood, and impossible geometry. When the training finally ended, the god stripped away every level he’d earned and cast him back into the ruined world at Level 1. Now Kell walked through collapsing cities with powers no human should wield, hunted by the Greylith that claimed R’lyeh and watched by the ancient presence whispering in his mind. He wasn’t a hero. He was the chosen vessel of something that dreamed in the deep. And the Greylith were about to learn what they awakened.

After transmigrating into a book he had just finished reading, Eric found himself cast as the villainous cannon fodder. The original owner of the body was secretly and wholeheartedly in love with Max, the tribe's strongest warrior, but Max and Michael had grown up together and gradually developed feelings for each other. The original owner tried every means to obstruct them, was eventually exiled by the tribe, and died a miserable death from hunger and cold that winter. Many races existed on this continent, and he was not even human. Eric looked at the piece of grilled meat before him, burnt black as charcoal, and a handful of beans so hard they felt like they could chip his teeth. He looked up at the thatched roof that leaked rain in the summer and let snow through in the winter. Behind him, a small lion cub was wailing for food. Oh, and this little lion cub was also the story's devoted second male lead. The first step was to improve his life. What, the beastmen do not know how to farm? No problem, they can learn. Then they would not have to starve during the winter. Thatched huts, mud houses, and tents could all be replaced! The arrogant Elf race had a strong affinity for plants, which was perfect for farming, and the Dragon race could breathe fire, which was perfect for firing bricks! Humans called the Fantasy Dream Continent a cursed land. Later, a wandering poet would tell tales of the Snow Wolf Tribe who lived there, possessing all sorts of delicacies and fine, home-brewed wine whose aroma could travel for ten miles, leaving a rich aftertaste. Once the rumor spread, countless adventuring parties and mercenaries felt compelled to explore the land, even at the risk of being beaten half to death. Eric utilized the advantages of his bloodline, diligently farming and building infrastructure, leading the tribe toward a better life. It was just that one day he would pick up a prince of the Human race, and the next, a prince of the Elf race. With a prince of the Beastman Kingdom already in his house, Eric was at his wit's end. Perhaps I should just build a nation for all of you! And another thing, you, the main male lead, stop hovering around me! ... Auther: Please forgive my mistakes, as English is not my first language. I appreciate your understanding!

Trained as a 'hollow' shinobi, Karasu is an 'Irregular' soul dumped into The Mire, a cosmic purgatory where the 'Awakened' fight to survive against soul-devouring 'monsters' and mad survivors.

They saved us from a dying Earth, only to turn us into monsters. A secret group calling themselves the Enix plucked me from the apocalypse, gave me an incredible power system, and forced me into a brutal death match against other survivors. I was one of the lucky few to make it out alive, armed with a power they can't control: my own imagination to create, build, and materialize any weapon or object I can imagine. Now, they've given us our grand purpose: to protect the last human settlement from a tyrannical emperor on a war-torn alien world. They call us heroes, the last hope for a species on the brink of extinction. But with every battle we fight for them, the lies begin to unravel. We were told we are fighting for humanity's survival, but the truth feels far more dangerous. In a universe where our saviors might be the real demons, my power isn't just for creating weapons—it's for finding the truth. And I'm starting to suspect that the greatest threat isn't the emperor we've been sent to kill, but the very people who saved us.

In a Tokyo that never stops moving, three broken souls find each other in the spaces between light and shadow. Kisuno Minazawa is six years old and has been dead inside since he was three. The night his parents were murdered in their Kyoto mansion, something in him shattered beyond repair. Now he survives in Tokyo's forgotten corners—a ghost in a tattered black cloak, with sky-blue eyes that once dreamed of flying but now only reflect despair. The police call him a runaway. The system calls him a case number. He calls himself nothing, because nothing is what he's become. Kisagawa Hazuno is thirteen and drowning in plain sight. Behind his perfect smile lies a home of screaming parents and alcohol-soaked silence. His friends treat him like their emotional support toy, never asking if he's okay, because asking would mean seeing. At school, he's the cheerful one. At home, he's invisible. Inside, he's breaking apart one day at a time, and nobody notices because he's learned to make them not look. Katsugawa Josu is fourteen and wears his rage like armor. The school's feared bully, he targets the weak to forget his own weakness—a dying grandfather, crushing medical debt, and the certain knowledge that soon he'll have nothing left. His cruelty is the only language a cruel world taught him to speak. When Hazuno saves Kisuno from the police in a rain-soaked alley, their fates become irrevocably entangled. What begins as one act of desperate kindness transforms into something neither expected: a family forged not by blood, but by shared wounds and the radical choice to survive together. But the past won't stay buried. Kisuno's parents' killer is still free. Josu's grandfather's death brings devastating accusations. And Hazuno's facade is cracking, threatening to consume him entirely. In a story that blends the heartbreaking emotional depth of the dark psychological intensity three damaged souls, they must learn that salvation doesn't come from reaching toward some distant sky—it comes from reaching toward each other. Some wounds never heal. But maybe, with the right people, they don't have to. RATED: MA 15+

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun and taming expectations. _______ If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's Luna, the FL... Her skin and clothes are morphing into shimmering scales from her dragon power. Remember Sailor Moon? Magical girls? Now imagine if the magical outfit wasn’t a cute dress, but an actual dragon! The dragon is the dress... It’s not just fashion; it’s fusion. High-level beasts tend to leave their mark, and Luna wears it like a boss, pulling off the ultimate power move. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.

This is a story about Arjun Jadhav, a broke engineering student who rides his father’s fading red Splendor with one thought only: earn enough to keep his dad breathing. A lonely summer job guarding a forgotten godown seems like the answer, until he breaks open Shutter 81 and falls two floors into a vault sealed since the old India still bled from Partition. Inside waits a forbidden armoury: thousands of glass prisons holding curses that whisper and claw, walls covered with photographs of impossible kills, and the diaries of Vikramaditya Shinde, a hunter of the old blood, one of the last men who walked the night with silver and fire to keep the country’s darkest hungers asleep. Arjun thinks he can lock the door and forget. He can’t. The instant he flees, the vault roars awake. Lights flare after half a century. Dust howls into hidden vents. And in the centre rises the spirit of the old hunter himself, tall, scarred, eyes like burning ghee, staring straight at the boy who just inherited a war older than the tricolour. From a village kid who measured life in dialysis bills, Arjun is about to be forged into the deadliest thing the night has ever feared: the new bearer of a legacy that never truly died. A creaking Splendor, a kirpan that chooses its master, and a country that still needs monsters killed in the dark; this is the rise of the hunter the old blood has been waiting for. Some doors don’t open for you. They open the future. Step through… if you’re ready to watch a desperate boy become the greatest shadow India never knew it had.

But before going there is a special benefit or chance for humans to earn higher qualification in the dungeon cultivation world. The qualification is higher level spirit roots, bloodlines, bone frames, physiques and few others things of what they can have in that world and what kind of life they can start with. The benefit is not free thing. It has to be fought over. One can even reincarnate with their memories. That night every human being or intelligent creature on earth would enter a dungeon like thing that appears in RPG. This dungeon has 100 floors. One can only explore 1 floor a day on earth time.

Others left a mark on him to become their useful tool in the dungeon cultivation world. He suffered in the dungeon cultivation world and finally died in the hands of the Hero that know how to extract the soul bound artifacts of others and took his life soul cup from him. With that the memories came back to the current him as he used up his small secret savings to buy something called a “painful second chance” in hundred day dungeon end. If he parts with his most valuable thing along with his life he can have a second chance. He triggered it and came back. But something went wrong and he got the memories of his past lives as well. …………………… This book is only 100 day dungeon. The dungeon cultivation world would be in another book or volume. ……………………
