A humble medical student's wondrous adventure in the world of Fairy Tail. The protagonist, Riyao, stayed up all night writing his thesis and was rewarded with a huge truckload of transmigration gifts. He was dumped in the Fairy Tail world by a treacherous goddess and was nearly starved when Makarov picked him up and took him back to the guild.

At exactly 8:17 a.m., Adrian Vale witnesses the impossible—the entire world freezes, leaving him as the only person able to move within a silent, motionless city. When time resumes, no one remembers the event, and life continues as if nothing happened. But Adrian soon discovers subtle traces proving that the experience was real. As the phenomenon repeats, he realizes he is not alone. Others, scattered across the world, experience their own moments of stillness at different times. Through a hidden exchange of letters, these strangers begin to piece together the mystery that binds them. Yet as their connection deepens, so too does the unsettling truth that not all who share this gift—or curse—intend to use it for good. In a world where time itself can pause, the true question is not why it happens, but what each person chooses to do when no one else is watching.

The people of Earth have been summoned once again. Scientists document six extinction events in Earth's history, but none of them were as natural as they claimed. Sylas and his family have been called back to the Browns, a family of billionaire elites with assets reaching into the trillions. He isn't sure what to expect until he touches a floating bronze cube that changes his life. [Bronze City Stele] [Status: Dormant] [Time to Activation: 04:13:38] Unfortunately, there's only one Stele and the Browns have already decided upon their candidates. If Sylas wants to control his own fate, he'll have to enter the Trial. Now, woefully unprepared, and stuck in a world filled with the extinct creatures of Earth, he'll have to carve out his own opportunity... whether the Browns like it or not. ======================== https://discord.gg/hfsxubXx2T instagram: @awespec_

In a realm of demons known as Semonios,a prophecy about Emperor's seed resurfaces. Although born of parents of which both are demons,he was a half breed,his eerie existence cloaking a prophecy of doomsday for his kind but he was born with purity. His birth was prevented yet was he begotten,with a fate of which he fought to escape from. His name is Ramses,the Imperial crown prince He's the origin,the end an agent of both destruction and peace. ******************** ***************** Ariane turned abruptly to leave but Ramses blocked her way. Before she could utter another word she found herself in his arms,his hand tightly wrapped around her waist She was so close that she could hear his heartbeat And with those grey eyes peering deeply into hers he whispered, "Despite you being human,not even destiny nor Fate can take you away from me".... Note: This book is in three parts. Part one:In a Demon continent bathed in lies the events occurring when Ramses was a child,an unusual being who is neither demon or human,including the Demon emperor's investigations in the murder of his wife as he fights to protect his son at all cost. Part two:Something different...years had passed with changing times,read to discover... Part three: The present day (modern times).

In 2026, the sky turned purple, and the "Awakening" began. For Kang Min-ho, it was the start of two decades of cowardice and misery. But when he dies in the ruins of Seoul, he wakes up in his high school classroom, five days before the end.

Humans are the weakest race alive. Even in stories, they’re always the fragile ones. The ones who need saving. The ones who break first. I used to think that was just fiction. Now I know better. I’ve seen it. They trained for years. Built weapons. Advanced their technology faster than ever, all to prepare for a war they knew was coming. And when it finally arrived… They ran. In a single day, everything collapsed. Cities fell. Armies disappeared. Humanity didn’t fight back. So what was the point of Aether? All that power… for nothing. “…Damn it.” Maybe this is how it ends. Maybe humanity really will disappear. But not me. I won’t die. No matter what happens… I come back. Every time I die, I wake up at the last place I slept. Same body. Same world. Same time. At first, I thought it was a blessing. Now it just feels wrong. What happens when everyone else is gone? When it’s just me? Alone in a dead world… repeating the same day forever. Even if I try to end it myself— I wake up again. “…Damn it.” This isn’t living. It’s a loop. A prison. A curse. He exhaled slowly, eyes fixed on the ruined horizon. “Fine,” he muttered. “If this world is broken…” “Then I’ll rewrite it.”

Valen was just an ordinary high schooler before suddenly finding himself, along with his entire class cohort, transported into another world. With strong Combatants, powerful demon worshippers and other mythical existences lurking left and right, Valen, being talentless, understood the hard way that only strength matters in this cold-blooded, unreasonable world. Just when the future looked bleak with no hope in sight, a notification from his partially awakened system suddenly popped up before him: [Congratulations! System's Awakening has reached 15%] [Master is to seek out places rich in natural essence to fully awaken the system] [World Dominion System Booting Up. Location: Unknown Grand Goal: Bring Order to the lawless Supernatural World] With these words started Valen’s journey of World Dominion. Every time he subjugates a city and imposes law and order, he grows stronger. Every citizen who lives within his territory and follows his law, great rewards remain abundant: > Artefacts, Techniques, Location of secret treasures and ancient beasts’ eggs, etc. As his territory expands and his fame spreads far and wide, a concept became clear to both Valen and the world: “World Dominion isn't only conquering Empires, but leaving a legacy that remains etched in history, capable of turning the tides and influencing the future generations for as long as time even after you're gone!” *** This is a work of fiction and does not represent real beliefs or practices. Any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental. Update Schedule ~ 2 chapters per day. Word Count ~ 1200+ per chapter Note: Kingdom Building comes a lot later in the story as it'll take time for the MC to grow stronger, gather forces and establish his kingdom. So earlier chapters wouldn't begin with him controlling an empire. ADDITIONAL TAGS: Dragons, Phoenix, Giants, Mythical Creatures, Other Races and StrongWilled MC.

MC died at my desk at 28. I woke up as Matt Donovan—the human punching bag of The Vampire Diaries. But something came with : few strong powers :1. HEMOMANCY (Blood Manipulation) Control blood outside bodies → shape weapons, shields, projectiles. Evolves to sensing blood, then full internal control (stop hearts, puppet bodies). His blood also heals wounds. 2. DEATH IMMUNITY Can't permanently die if death connects to anything supernatural (vampire kills him, compelled human kills him, supernatural weapon, etc.). Enters limbo, then resurrects. Nearly impossible to truly kill in Mystic Falls. 3. BLOOD BOND CREATION One drop of his blood in a supernatural's mouth = loyalty bond (like sire bond). Works on vampires, werewolves, witches. Duration and strength grow with practice. 4. TERRITORIAL CLAIM Mark areas with blood = personal territory. Senses supernaturals entering, boosts allies, weakens enemies inside the zone. 5. BLOOD MAGIC AFFINITY Any spell using blood as a component costs him 1/10th the normal price. Not a witch, but can fuel blood rituals cheaply. Im uploading this into royalroad.com .

[WSA 2026 Entry] A Lovecraftian-esque LitRPG with an anti-hero protagonist! - Reverie Schneider had always been like a ghost, indifferent and invisible. When the trumpet of doomsday vibrates throughout the land, marking the apocalypse, Reve is indifferent as always. Until he accidentally ends someone's life and now he is forced to join a game of purgatory called the rounds. Yet, in the midst of all this, he realized this current world is far too familiar...and he is afraid that it had been him that weaved it. - For image references and (future) official art, drop by my server: https://discord.gg/MNx4TVZ4C5 ※ Mentions and depictions of gore, dark humor, mental illness, and other dark topics will be tackled in this novel, but no smut. Discretion is advised.

The war didn’t end. It evolved. Now the world is quiet—too quiet. Not because peace was achieved, but because control became absolute. Aether powers everything. Cities breathe through it. Systems run on it. And every human life is measured, monitored, and ranked by one thing: Synchronization. If you can’t sync with Aether, you don’t belong. Aster never did. Labeled defective from birth, he exists at the very bottom of a world engineered for perfection—a place where people aren’t raised, but calibrated. Where Conduits are assigned before identity. Where Resonators—those who surpass human limits—are no longer soldiers… They are enforcers. Living corrections in a system that doesn’t tolerate error. Aster was supposed to disappear quietly. Instead, something impossible happens. He syncs. But not within the system. Not within the rules. What flows through him isn’t stable. Isn’t controlled. It doesn’t respond to commands or protocols. It answers only to him. And the system notices. Now flagged as an anomaly, Aster becomes a target—not just for elimination, but for something far worse: containment, experimentation, erasure. Because in a world built on perfect control, an uncontrollable variable is more dangerous than war itself. As surveillance tightens and the truth behind Aether begins to fracture, Aster is forced to run through a society that sees him as both a glitch and a threat. But the deeper he goes, the clearer it becomes: The system isn’t protecting humanity. It’s replacing it. And Aster? He may be the first mistake the system can’t fix.

(This style focuses heavily on Luffy's unique abilities, his defiance of the rules, and the immediate action. It's great for hooking readers who want fast-paced fights and a fearless main character.) Logline: The world belongs to the strong, but the seas belong to the free. Synopsis: The execution of Gold Roger, the legendary Pirate King, didn't bring peace to the world—it started a war. Now, millions of outlaws sail the treacherous Grand Line in search of his hidden fortune: the One Piece. Monkey D. Luffy doesn't have a massive galleon, a terrifying reputation, or even a crew. What he does have is a body made entirely of rubber, a worn straw hat passed down from a hero, and a completely reckless disregard for the rules. In a world controlled by corrupt World Government Marines and bloodthirsty pirate warlords, Luffy sets out in a tiny rowboat to do the impossible. He's going to punch way above his weight class, recruit the most dangerous misfits the oceans have to offer, and flip the entire world upside down. The race for the ultimate treasure has begun, and the new era is about to get stretched to its limits!

Aven is the strongest knight and the commander of one of the kingdom’s elite forces. In every war against the demons, he always stood at the front undefeated, unrivaled. When the war finally came to an end, he believed his duty was complete. He was wrong. Branded as a threat too powerful to be controlled, the kingdom chose betrayal over reward. It even chose to cooperate with the very demons it had once fought against. Stabbed from behind by his fellow knights and abandoned on a silent battlefield, Aven should have died there. But death did not claim him. He was saved by a mysterious silver-haired woman. Having lost his title, his home, and his family, a knight branded as a threat now begins his second life.

Monsters pushed humanity to the edge of extinction, and only Tamers stood between survival and annihilation, binding monsters into powerful Guardians to fight back. Mike was supposed to be another nameless sixteen-year-old struggling to survive. Instead, he became the boy who tamed hope and forced the world to believe in tomorrow again.

Once a curse that tore his family apart, the Vane is now the only thing keeping him alive in a world ruled by high-tech tyrants and experimental gods.

Between flickering CRT monitors and lethal energy pulses, he must master his awakening power before the Frozen Throne claims his soul. In a game of survival where memories are shattered and power is poison, how far will Ren go to reclaim his destiny? What to expect: Dark Fantasy & Dystopian World-building Unique "Vane" Power System Anti-Hero Protagonist Retro-Modern Aesthetic (90s tech meets lethal energy)

Five best friends. One fatal crash. No respawns. When a horrific bus accident ends their lives, five high school gamers expect an ending. Instead, they wake up in the Great Jing Empire—a world of silver needles, poisoned wine, and ancient blood feuds. They aren't heroes—they "split" into the five most powerful (and opposing) factions of an Empire. * **The Crown Prince (Li Feng)** must rule a court of vipers. * **The "God of Death" General (Big Cat)** must lead a bloody slaughter. * **The Calculated Marquis (Su Cheng)** must treat lives like variables. * **The Shadow Merchant (Han Jue)** must trade in lethal secrets. * **The Reluctant Assassin (Lin Kai)** must kill to survive. As the Empire’s "roles" consume their minds, their modern memories begin to rot. They are being manipulated into a political war that will force them to execute one another. On a battlefield where they no longer recognize each other's faces, their only hope is a single "glitch"—a shared slang word or a gamer’s habit—that might stop the blade before it’s too late. To survive the Empire, they must kill the boys they used to be. "This story is also being published on Royal Road by [XuxaQue]."

Centuries after Earth became uninhabitable, humanity survives on Terra, sheltered beneath an uncanny energy barrier known as the Vale. Beyond it, monstrous creatures rule the wastelands. Within it, power is everything Seventeen years of life in the Vale’s lower sectors has taught Xaden Dracinian one thing: powerless people don’t survive long. Homeless and forgotten, he watches others rise as heroes while he fights to see another day. But when a brutal training exercise meant to prune out the weak takes an unexpected turn, Xaden becomes the center of dangerous attention. Now he’s forced into the Vale’s elite war college, where only the strongest survive. Surrounded by ruthless rivals and deadly trials, Xaden must grow in strength and uncover deadly secrets about their world, while also hiding a lethal secret of his own. Which might either save their dying world... Or destroy it.

"I woke up inside a corpse that died in Chapter 7. Brain-dead by page 12—just disposable lore for the real hero. But the vessel opened its eyes, and I drew Death (XIII)." His [Cursed Mouth] speaks structural truths: "Your leg will bleed tomorrow." They called it a devil's curse when the mother screamed. He calls it pattern recognition. Now he wields the Rumoured Deck—22 Major Arcana, 22 ghost contracts. Each secret housed makes him harder to delete. He calculates death with a deck of ghosts. The only question is whether he collapses the panel borders first—or the plot swallows him whole.

A strange young man becomes the heir to his childhood home after the death of his late father, where the only time that he is seen is when he seduces the maids that are under his service. A lawyer is sent to finalise the inheritance and deep dark secrets come to the surface. The young man becomes entangled in personal conflicts such as politics, warfare, business, romance, philosophy and much more; not to mention the mysterious elements behind his own identity.

I gave Tower of Babel a zero out of ten. The game was impossible to beat. It was unfair and a waste of my time, so in my anger, I wrote a scathing review, called the developers every name I could think of, and went to bed furious. I shouldn't have done that. Why, you say? Well, I have been forced into the deadly world of the Tower of Babel where only one law stands true: Survival of the Fittest. * [CONGRATULATIONS] [YOU HAVE AWAKENED AN SSS-RANK SKILL] * The Tower has 100 floors, and no one has ever reached the top. However, no one has ever climbed with an SSS-Rank Skill at their command. I will make history. I will climb the Tower, and I will reach the top.
