The new darkness is here

[Progression] [Dark Fantasy] [Weekly Updates | Volume 1 Fully Written] Luthian Stahl Eisenhart is the second-born son of one of the kingdom's four great ducal houses, a prestigious family that has produced formidable magic swordsmen for generations. But at just five years old, Luthian's future takes a cruel turn. During the magical trial to determine his innate potential, he is revealed to have no mana at all. The verdict delivered in the Lunar Hall seals his fate. To his family, he is nothing more than a failure. Stripped of his title and disowned, Luthian is cast out of his home and sent to the Lower District, a brutal training ground for the Crimson Knights under the command of Zoltan. Yet, just before his exile, Luthian discovers an ability no one else knows he possesses: an extraordinary capacity for learning. Though he lacks mana, this hidden talent may give him another way to grow stronger. But understanding its true nature and mastering it will take time. In a ruthless world where talent determines a person's worth and strength means survival, Luthian must forge his own path from nothing. Grueling training, unexpected encounters, and deadly battles await him as he struggles to overcome his limitations and build a future on his own terms. But the further he goes, the more he begins to question the fate imposed upon him. Because behind his supposed failure lies a secret capable of changing everything.

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. You survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self-made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies through every kind of conceivable catastrophe. ———————— 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. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

He was in his early twenties when the world decided to end for him. A computing prodigy, educated at MIT, someone who understood systems, patterns, and limits better than most. In his previous life, power didn’t come from fists, but from the mind — lines of code capable of shaping digital realities. Then he died. And was born again. Reincarnated into the DC Universe as a helpless baby, he grew up in a world where gods walk among humans, where vigilantes defy the impossible, and where power is rarely fair — or free. While others trusted destiny, chance, or inherited gifts, he trusted only one thing: process. Memory intact. Intellect intact. Ambition intact. From an early age, he understood a simple and cruel truth: in that world, those who do not grow are crushed. And so, far from the spotlight of the League, he began to build something forbidden — his own Artificial Intelligence, created not to save the world, but to optimize it. To make him stronger. More efficient. More prepared to survive among monsters, aliens, and symbols. While heroes were born from tragedy, he forged himself in silence. While villains sought external power, he engineered it from within. This is not the story of a chosen one. It is the story of someone who decided to become inevitable. Between code and chaos, science and superhumans, begins the rise of a man who does not believe in miracles — only in evolution. This story was inspired by a fanfiction I read years ago — a work I deeply admire and still reread to this day. Unfortunately, that story was never continued. This project is not a continuation, rewrite, or replacement of that original work. It is an independent story, created with its own plot, characters, and direction, merely inspired by the ideas and feelings that the original story left with me. Out of respect, I want to properly credit the source of my inspiration below: Original Story Title: Pyroclasm (Young Justice SI) Original Author: Fulcon Original Story Link: https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/pyroclasm-young-justice-si.664558/ If you enjoyed this story, I highly recommend checking out the original work and supporting its author.

If you don’t like it, read the tags and don’t read the story. Simple as that. I’m not changing the story to please everyone. It was written this way from the start. If you want to read early chapters, they will be available on my Patreon. I’m not promising 10 or 20 chapters ahead — maybe just a few, maybe more later — but there will be early content there. I’m taking my time with this story because I want it to be good, not rushed. That takes time, revision, and proper development. If this kind of story is for you, welcome. If not, just move on.

"His father taught him to never yield. The heavens taught him otherwise. Gen is the son of the Invincible Immortal Jiang, raised on absolute power and absolute pride. In a world where cultivators command reality through the six Wheels of Destiny, Gen's unbreakable will made him a prodigy—and a fool."

With the uneasy support of her friends and cousins, she ventures into a world where shadows hide deadly secrets, and every step could lead her closer to the truth—or to madness itself.

May 21st, 2030. The day the sky turned white, the mist rolled in, and “they” arrived. I was just a 25-year-old game developer, freshly fired from my job, when the world ended. Exploding cars, screaming crowds, monsters with wings tearing through the city—and somehow, in the middle of it all, a brat calling me “uncle” wouldn’t leave me alone. Together, we’re trying to survive a world crawling with lizard-like creatures, ruined streets, and something far bigger lurking in the skies above. But I can’t help feeling like this invasion isn’t random… and maybe I’m not as ordinary as I thought. Action, survival, monsters, and dark comedy collide in this apocalyptic adventure.

It's a marriage arrangement; apologies to the brothers who stumbled upon this. I am Koushin, a transmigrator. Originally, I planned to cling to Shido's coattails and provide crucial support, then become a lowly employee at Fraxinus and live a life of leisure. However, in the year the main story begins, I was targeted by Aha, who gave me the power to transform into a Herrscher. After assimilation into the world, I became a spirit who wields Herrscher abilities. As for what happens next? Hmm... let's stick to the old plan and give Shido an assist, shall we? He can't possibly try to seduce me, can he?

Due to the whims of a higher-dimensional being called "The One", the World of Terra ushered in a Monthly Apocalypse World Update Era. Every month, the World will draw a random monthly apocalypse world update theme, and the world will transform depending on what update theme has been drawn. Starting with a Zombie Apocalypse World theme, The World of Terra became infested with zombies! As a transmigrator, Zayne Voss, who thought he was living in a normal modern world, was caught up in this madness. Fortunately, he awakened the innate ???-rank talent, the Doomsday Life Simulator System! [The Doomsday Life Simulator System allows the host to simulate your future and life in a given doomsday scenario.] [For example, the simulator will randomly draw a doomsday scenario, and one of them might be a zombie apocalypse scenario. In that case, the host can experience life in a zombie apocalypse world.] [Of course, it's not limited to that, as there are also different kinds of doomsday scenarios like the Helios Extinction Event, where the sun explodes and humanity faces such a world-ending scenario.] [Not all doomsday scenarios are winnable and survivable, as some can be a dead end. However, your goal is not to win but to survive as long as possible and attain as many achievements as possible.] [The longer you survive and the more you accomplish within that doomsday scenario, the higher your score will be. The higher the score, the greater the rewards you'll receive.] [The rewards you can receive are mostly related to the power, skill, experiences, and talent that you possessed before the doomsday life simulation ended. They will be brought back to the real world so the host can gain power from doing life simulations.] -Ding! [The host can choose one doomsday scenario from four of the following:] [A. Helios Extinction Event] [B. AI Singularity Rebellion] [C. Global Ocean Survival] [D. Acid Rain Catastrophe] Drawing the doomsday scenario called "Global Ocean Survival," where everyone started with a wooden raft on a vast ocean, Zayne grinded in the doomsday simulation to become stronger in the real world! While everyone was still running away from zombies, Zayne had already eaten a Fairy Fruit from the Global Ocean Survival World and killed all the zombies around him! *** Good day, dear readers!

Scarlet King has lived and died more times than anyone could ever count. Every death should have been an ending. Instead, the Rebirth Wheel drags him back—into another body, another world, another life. Again. And again. And again. After countless cycles of existence, Scarlet King no longer seeks immortality, glory, love, or salvation. He seeks only one thing: Eternal rest. But as long as the Rebirth Wheel continues to turn, even death cannot grant him freedom. So Scarlet King chooses the only path left to him. He will destroy the Wheel itself. Through cultivation, slaughter, forbidden paths, and worlds governed by laws far beyond ordinary understanding, he will climb across the Eleven Dimensions and tear apart anything standing between him and his final death. He is no hero. He seeks no redemption. And he will not hesitate simply because countless lives stand in his way. If worlds must fall for the Rebirth Wheel to finally break, then worlds will fall. Because after enduring existence for longer than anyone should... Scarlet King believes eternal rest is worth any price. [Warning: This novel contains graphic violence, gore, torture, morally dark themes, and a genuinely evil protagonist.]

Strategic MC • Kingdom Building • Divine System • Ruthless Protagonist • Empire Growth The world of Theos Online was a battlefield of gods. Players built civilizations, shaped faith, and waged divine wars for supremacy. At the top stood Zephyr — Rank One. Untouchable. Calculating. Ruthless. He didn’t just win. He engineered inevitability. But in the real world, anonymity is fragile. When his identity is exposed, a coordinated smear campaign tears his life apart, stripping him of reputation, future, and finally — breath. Death was supposed to be the end. Instead, he awakens in another world. Different sky. Different history. Same Divine System. The rules that governed Theos Online now govern reality itself. While others pray to survive, Zephyr understands the code beneath the gods. He knows the exploits. The hidden mechanics. The logic no one else sees. He may not know this world’s past. But he knows exactly how to conquer its future. From a starving village to a rising divine empire, Zephyr will bend faith into machinery, turn belief into power, and reduce rival gods to footnotes in history. The game is gone. The system remains. And this time, there are no respawns.

In a nation divided between the wealthy Spires and the struggling Sinks, one hundred citizens are sent to Blackwake to compete in the Red Hunt, a televised game where only the strongest are expected to win a prize and residency in the Spires. The hunters are divided into teams of four called Quadrangles. Each Quadrangle is made up of four classes: the Tactician, who leads the team through strategy and decision-making; the Scout, who moves ahead to gather information and navigate danger; the Fighter, who handles combat and protects the team; and the Lifeline, who keeps injured teammates alive and provides medical support. Among them is Elowen Bradshaw, a teenage girl from the Sinks who enters the Hunt expecting nothing more than a way to help her dying aunt. But Blackwake is not the arena the government claims it to be. As mysteries pile up and the island reveals secrets buried beneath its surface, Elowen begins to realize that someone has been watching and manipulating the game from the shadows. The deeper Elowen goes, the more the Red Hunt stops looking like a competition and starts looking like something far more terrifying. Because the Hunters were never chosen at random. The Red Hunt was never about finding a winner. It was about deciding who deserved to be erased, then convincing an entire nation to watch. ~•~ "May the worthy endure. May the Spires remain eternal. Let the Red Hunt commence." ~•~ This novel contains some graphic content including violence & blood. Reader discretion is advised. Copyright © 2026 Eugene John Lubaton All Rights Reserved.
