"If all the Ancient Ones rise against us, I'll burn them all. If the entire world turns against us, I will set it ablaze. Nothing will stand in our way. Nothing!" - Achilles Adrastia Maxwell --- Death followed Achilles like a plague. Finding himself at his lowest point, he comes to realize how little value human life held as terrifying Advanced Humans and Evolutius Beasts waded across the Colonies of this World. About to lose the only remaining person close to him by falling into the jaws of an Evolutius Beast, a spark bloomed inside of him as the Evolutius Crystals he held disappeared, and he saw a distinct blue panel appear before his eyes! [Achilles Maxwell] [Assimilation]:: Organic Crystal(Evolutius Crystals)(3%)- Obtained qualities of Regeneration, Energy Conversion, Flexibility, and Light Manipulation  [Existence Corruption Value]:: 0% [Complexity]:: Negligible A simple spark. And yet the changes it brought…were limitless! In an endlessly vast post-apocalyptic world filled with futuristic Colonies that merged magic with technology, undercurrents surge from the depths of the World as even the Ancient Ones sealed many years ago begin to awaken. In the middle of all this, the terrifying power dwelling within Achilles leads him to question its origins, and the answer to this is something that resonates and leads back to his very bloodline. Ancient Ones. Advanced Ones. Ancient Bloodlines, and Unfathomable Lineages...anything and everything swirls into a storm of heavy proportions that will change everything!

In a world where time bends and reality blurs, a young woman awakens in a mysterious cabin, trapped in a past that is not her own. Struggling to make sense of her surroundings, she finds herself in a kitchen filled with the haunting gaze of portraits that seem to watch her every move, their eyes reflecting a shared terror she cannot ignore. As she explores the seemingly endless corridors of the cabin, she discovers remnants of lives once lived—a table set for ten, an angry man shrouded in shadow, and a leather-bound journal filled with her own handwriting. The entries chronicle the experiences of those who came before her, revealing a dark history of entrapment and despair. Each page pulls her deeper into a web of memories that are both familiar and terrifying, blurring the line between her present and the echoes of the past. Driven by a desperate desire to return to her simple life, she races against time to uncover the truth of her connection to this place and its inhabitants. But as the boundaries of her reality begin to crumble, she must confront the chilling question: Who—or what—awaits her beyond the door? In Whispers of the Forgotten, the protagonist must unravel the mysteries of a haunted lineage and confront the darkness lurking in the shadows, or risk losing herself forever in a cycle of despair that transcends time. Whispers of the Forgotten is an epilogue from the short story The Cabin, featured in the anthology, "Black Sheep Dream State: Then I Awoke,” by Grace Silva-Ortiz.

It is about a dream, an unreasonable and elusive dream It is hard to seek the path to make it come true When someone feels exhausted by his own life Have no place to stay anymore Everything seems to make him feel suffocated Hence, eager to seek refuge anywhere, anyplace, any spot, any space, any area, any region except the earth Where a human has a dream to live in another dimension, another world, the parallel world A perfect fantasy world like a fairy tale When the chance comes to break and just embrace his presence The reality is more unbearable than what he desires

Died in the cold. Starved. Betrayed. Devoured by the very people he once trusted. In a world where humanity collapsed into chaos, kindness was a weakness-and he paid the price for it. But fate gave him something impossible. A second chance. He awakens 30 days before the apocalypse. This time, he knows what's coming: The freezing world. The rise of enhanced humans. The fall of civilization. And the moment the people closest to him chose survival... over him. But Jae-Min is no longer the same man. Cold. Calculated. Unforgiving. Armed with knowledge of the future, a growing spatial power, and unmatched precision as a sniper who never misses, he begins to prepare-not just to survive... But to dominate. As factions rise, monsters emerge, and the world descends into war, Jae-Min moves from the shadows-one step ahead, one bullet at a time. This time, he won't be the one abandoned. This time... he chooses who lives. Warning: This novel contains graphic violence, gore, explicit sexual content, psychological trauma, and mature themes intended for adult readers only.

Wondered if a cryptomining app would make you a Superhero..or villain? Damen Dark is an unfortunate orphan trapped in a cruel household, forced to endure the abuse of his uncle, his family, and a world that seems determined to break him. One ordinary day, he receives a mysterious link on his phone advertising a new app—DemCoin, a cryptocurrency mining program. Damen knows it’s probably a scam. But curiosity gets the better of him. At first, the app seems harmless. It “mines” coins by targeting living beings—stray animals… and people. With little expectation, Damen uses it as a private outlet for his bottled-up anger, siphoning coins from those who torment him: his family, his classmates, the bullies who rule the streets. It feels like justice. It feels good. But DemCoin is far more than a mining app. As Damen accumulates enough coins, hidden features unlock—features that allow him to target individuals and steal their powers. What begins as survival turns into temptation, and temptation into transformation. With every stolen ability, Damen grows stronger… and more dangerous. Now faced with unimaginable power, Damen must choose who he will become. Will he take revenge on a world that never showed him mercy, or rise as a hero to protect it? The truth lies somewhere in between. In a cruel twist of fate, Damen soon realizes the irony of power: the stronger he becomes, the greater the threats that hunt him. And worse still, DemCoin is not just a tool—it is a force, subtly guiding his path. Whether he knows it or not, the app isn’t shaping him into a savior. It is forging a supervillain. And Damen Dark may have no choice but to become exactly that.

[Let characters from different worlds become hunters and save the day!] The world is full of monsters that defy common sense—some are keystones of their ecosystems, while others are outright destroyers. And whenever such creatures appear, hunters rise to face them. Hunters are strong, brave, and righteous guardians of nature… except when things go a little sideways. Hunters, united in camaraderie (aka ganging up on the monster). Hunters, steadfast and unyielding (aka carting endlessly). Hunters, protectors of the environment (aka loot hoarders). Join our Monster Hunter Assembly! You could be the next legendary guardian of nature! Old Joseph Joestar: "Kars! A single signal arrow calls forth an army! Your next line will be—" Shield Hero: "Heavy bowguns turn fights into turn-based RPGs." Kazuma: "As a Long Sword main, not carting is the victory!"

All you have is knowledge; this time, show me what is possible... Now a message for you all: this fanfic will mostly follow the story of Ren Sato and his false dawn... Ren woke up one morning in a body which was not his and in a house which was not his either… Not only that, he only had a weird note saying, 'Hello, you are JJK. Good luck.' What happens next?? I don't know... I am just the narrator. Following the terms of stated pages 5 and 19, I have to admit to being only the narrator; the true author of this story is 'Kaidawg'. So from now on, while you read, take every author note with a pinch of salt because it could be the author… Or it could just be me. Author's note – I use AI as an "editor". NOT TO GENERATE MY WHOLE FANFIC I ONLY use it to polish the chapters, pretty much like an editor because English is not my first language! But because of this, early chapters might seem a little AI, but I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU ALL THAT I DO WRITE THE CHAPTERS MYSELF, JUST NOT IN ENGLISH, AND THEN USE AI TO TRANSLATE AND EDIT, BUT THIS PROCESS CHANGES BECAUSE I MYSELF AM LEARNING ENGLISH. Also, my Patreon is https://www.patreon.com/c/Kaidawg or just Kaidawg. You can always support me there, only if you want to!

In an age of blood, steel, and freezing spray, a Viking’s worth is measured by the swing of his axe. They are raiders. They are conquerors. They are the terror of the North. Ragnar, the eighteen-year-old bastard son of a starving chieftain, is none of these things. Just a month ago, he was a Senior Naval Architect in Seattle, designing high-efficiency cargo vessels. Now, he stands on a frozen fjord in 865 AD, facing a suicide mission to England that threatens to wipe out his village. Mocked for his refusal to raid and his obsession with "wizard words" like logistics and drag coefficients, Ragnar is dismissed as a coward. But they are all wrong. Where they see a longship, he sees a displacement curve waiting to be optimized. Where they see a storm, he sees wind energy waiting to be harnessed. They say his methods are madness. Soon, they will realize that while they are playing at war, he is engineering an empire. -------- Disclaimer: *Kingdom Building & Tech-Uplift: MC uses modern engineering to revolutionize the Viking Age. *Weak-to-Strong: Starts as a despised bastard, progresses to a wealthy tycoon/warlord. *High Detail: Detailed descriptions of ship-building and primitive industrialization.

After dying from cancer, Oliver Smith wakes up in the freezing Weather Hills of Middle-earth as Aldric, a minor Dúnedain noble with nothing but a rusted sword and a group of forty-six starving refugees. However, he isn't just a survivor—he is the host of the Kingdom Restoration System (KRS). In a land of fading magic and rising darkness, Aldric must use the system to rebuild the lost kingdom of Arnor from the ground up. From managing granaries and planting orchards to training a military capable of standing against the shadow, he must transform a band of desperate refugees into a continental power. The world thinks the age of Men is over, but with a system for civilization building, Aldric is about to prove them wrong. The System: Kingdom Restoration (KRS) Territory Management: Allows the MC to "claim" land. Once claimed, the system provides a map overlay showing resource nodes (ore, fertile soil) and structural integrity of ruins, making it easier to rebuild ancient bastions like Amon Hen-dîr. Population & Loyalty Tracking: A HUD that shows the exact number of followers, their health, and their loyalty levels. It calculates "Prosperity" and "Stability" scores, warning the MC of potential rebellions or starvation before they happen. Civilization Skill Trees: Points earned from quests can be invested into trees like Agriculture (increasing crop yields), Masonry (speeding up construction), or Military Reform (enhancing the combat stats of his soldiers). Quest & Reputation System: The system issues "Restoration Quests" that provide essential rewards for growth. It also tracks his reputation among other factions (Elves, Dwarves, Rohan), unlocking unique trade or diplomatic options as his fame grows.

The factions from every order of power in galaxy start to make their moves when a group of smugglers steal some Krava milk, a formidable substance.

But the situation isn't what it seems, since Mareque is behind the scenes, plotting and scheming to wage war with other Houses for his own agendas. Meanwhile, the Hikari brothers are preparing to engage in their Succession War, where only one can come out on top and become the next Patriarch of the House. All these paths, though, are destined to cross. Trying to understand the world also means hating it.

The era of the sun is a dead memory. Humanity's sprawling kingdoms have fallen, and the last remnants of civilization are buried alive. Trapped within a decaying, subterranean iron bunker known as the Sanctuary, the few survivors of an apocalyptic extinction cling to a grim existence. Outside the walls lies an unforgiving abyss of monsters and black miasma; inside, the reality is just as terrifying. Under the iron-fisted rule of Chief Murad Xie, the Sanctuary survives through a horrifying arithmetic. Compassion is a forgotten language, and the weak are literally consumed to keep the strong alive. Eleven-year-old Akira and his mother, Syuri, are the last sparks of hope in this sterile tomb. While the rest of humanity has surrendered to the ruthless, blood-soaked laws of their cage, Syuri preaches of a forgotten world above—a place of blue skies and green earth. Her dreams earn her the title of a madwoman from the starving crowds, but Akira fiercely protects his innocence, clinging to her teachings in a society that demands cruelty. But innocence is a death sentence at the end of the world. As resources run dry and the shadow of starvation threatens to snap the Sanctuary's fragile peace, an elite soldier named Klein takes Akira under his wing. Knowing the brutal truth of their decaying sanctuary, Klein drags the boy into the pitch-black outskirts of the gates. Through agonizing, bone-breaking training, he seeks to strip away the boy's naive hopes and forge him into a weapon capable of surviving the nightmare to come. As the last embers of human civilization threaten to burn out forever, Akira stands at a crossroads. He must decide whether to surrender to the savage reality of humanity's final cage, or bleed to prove that his mother’s beautiful world still exists in the dark.

When the mirror appears, it's said that the mind has reached its breaking point. Ryo Kobayashi is a young boy who has grown impatient and bored with his mundane day to day routine. After finally reaching his limit, he comes across an eerie-looking mirror. He gets sucked into the mirror and transported to a fantasy world, where he meets other individuals just like him. Apparently, they were all summoned to perform certain trials or missions called pages. Their goal is to please the Grand Narrator and earn the right to have their dearest wish granted.

Young Shiraishi was originally an ordinary genin from Sunagakure, but in an accident, he obtained a special item and a large number of fragmented memories. Through constant exploration and deduction, he successfully transformed the initial skill of high-speed movement from another world into his first ninjutsu. From then on, young Shiraishi embarked on the path of becoming the strongest technician in Sunagakure. Note: The abilities in this story are Pokémon-based. The protagonist will also travel to other worlds, but only for some chapters, and there’s a reason for that. Characters from those worlds will appear much later in the story as well. Enjoy reading.

Even if you’ve never watched The Walking Dead, you can still enjoy this story! 【Realistic Apocalypse + The Walking Dead Setting + Independent Protagonist】 【Base Building + Survival + Adventure | 】 After transmigrating into the world of The Walking Dead, she becomes the younger sister of Leah from the Reapers—someone who was supposed to die before even appearing in the story. Calista seems to have drawn the worst possible script… a doomed background character. But that’s fine. The situation is still salvageable. The first thing she does after waking up? Cling to the Reapers and secure their protection. While Rick’s group is still struggling with questions of morality and humanity, Calista is already rebuilding order through sheer force. The Governor dares to provoke her? Bombard him. The Whisperers? Erase them. The Commonwealth and CRM? Move aside. Rick stares at his shabby camp in confusion. “Why is everyone running to her side?” Negan flicks the blood off Lucille as the gates of Rock Fortress slowly open behind him. “Damn… because following her means you actually thrive.” Starting with the Reapers as her foundation, Calista rises from a winery stronghold to become a ruler of the apocalypse. From the United States… all the way to Europe. The original plot? Just a reference. From today onward, my territory will define the order of the new world. 【The protagonist is not a saint. She won’t follow or assist Rick’s group blindly. Their paths will cross, but she will build her own empire.】 (No system. Just the realistic rise of an ordinary person in the apocalypse.)

Generally speaking, if I have to get reincarnated into a comic book world, I would hope to avoid the grim darkness of the DC Universe entirely. If I absolutely must end up in DC, I would pray to avoid high-risk death traps like Gotham City—famous for its "simple and honest" citizens. But if I’m stuck in Gotham? Please, at least give me a System. This kid just wants to survive. [Self-Made System Loaded. Please work hard to generate wealth. As the saying goes: Money is power.

One month later. The Dark Knight swooped down from the night sky, crashing through the skylight. In mere seconds, the restaurant staff were left with broken bones and concussions. Jude stood on the sidewalk, staring blankly at the restaurant where he’d finally found a job. There went his workplace. There went his boss. And there went the salary he was supposed to collect tomorrow. "Where is my money?! Batman, I have a shift starting at 8 AM!"
