And if they see or hear any trouble, they immediately try to stop it, with or without their teammates.

༺❘✦ 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. It would be fine if the System's matchmaking algorithms didn't keep pushing them closer. ━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━ What you’ll find here: BL | Magic | System | Magical Apocalypse Character-driven | Feral Partnership | Emotionally repressed chaos (Slow Burn-ish + Mutual Attraction/Pining) | Elemental Magic | Banter | Combat | System mechanics | Slice of life downtime | VR Games | The apocalypse is already happening, and the internet is not handling it well.

In a world ravaged by demons, where the Demon Slayer Corps fights desperately to maintain balance, a new warrior emerges from a distant land: Karina, master of the mysterious Arcane Breathing. Her style is unknown, her power disrupts even Upper Rank demons, and her past remains sealed behind a secret mission—evaluate the true threat posed by Kibutsuji Muzan. Upon arriving in Japan, Karina is immediately thrown into one of the most dangerous battlegrounds: the Entertainment District, where countless disappearances shake the Corps. Tengen Uzui leads the investigation… but Karina’s sudden insertion into the mission changes everything. Her strange aura, precise yet overwhelming technique, and sharp presence draw both trust and fascination. Tanjiro, Inosuke, and even Tengen begin to see her as a formidable force capable of confronting the deadliest demons of the night. But Daki and Gyutaro, the Upper Rank siblings, sense instantly that she is no ordinary slayer. She is a threat. She is an anomaly. She is the variable that could break their centuries-long domination. This explosive What-If retelling of the Entertainment District Arc reshapes every battle, every revelation, and every choice. Karina will confront the shadow of a tragic past, survive the advances of powerful allies drawn to her strength, and unleash an ultimate technique capable of slicing through illusions, arteries, and even the destiny Muzan imposes upon the world. One thing is certain: this time, history will not unfold the same way.

This novel starts intentionally slow through the exposition and the early world and character building, BUT everything kicks into gear after the turning point in the latter half of Volume 1, and especially Volume 2, where the tone of the novel shifts. So, I hope you stick with it and enjoy the wild ride! I also added some song recommendations along the way to listen to whilst you read certain chapters, I hope this helps boost the experience.

Lina Veris never planned to start a war on her first day at Aetherion Academy… but colliding with Kai Rhen makes it unavoidable. She’s fire — bold, sharp-tongued, impossible to intimidate. He’s ice — calm, confident, annoyingly perfect at everything. Their rivalry becomes school legend within hours. But when a mysterious attack shakes the academy, the two are forced into an unwilling partnership. What begins as mocking banter turns into dangerous tension… the kind that neither wants to acknowledge. Then disaster strikes. Lina is suddenly framed for sabotaging the academy’s power core — a crime that could destroy her future. Everyone doubts her innocence. Everyone except Kai. Risking suspension, breaking rules, and defying a system built to keep them apart, he becomes her only shield. Rivalry twists into trust. Trust sparks something deeper. And soon, the war between them is no longer about hate — but about a love neither of them saw coming. Sometimes the heart chooses the enemy. Sometimes the enemy chooses to protect it.

In a world haunted by darkness, a single spark can rewrite fate itself. When shadows devour everything he ever knew, Raizen is left with nothing but grief - and a vow to hunt down and kill every Nyx. He shouldn't have been alive. But darkness made a mistake. Now, he'll burn the world to hunt it down. At his side stands Hikari, a mysterious girl with a blurry past and a dark fate she cannot escape - one that even she fears. From the ashes of loss to The Underworks, to the halls of Neoshima's Lotus Academy, and Vanguard duty - Raizen's surrounded by ruthless rivals, corrupt officials, adapting creatures and secrets sharp enough to kill. He must grow stronger - or die quietly. A story with battles of unimaginable scale. A world that still echoes from disaster. Awakened powers that break every limit. Some call it Eon - a power beyond fate, a force that can bend reality itself. But something far darker is waking inside of Raizen. Something not meant to protect life... But to end it. As the darkness spreads, only one truth remains: The journey has only just begun. ⊰ 40K+ FREE WORDS BEFORE LOCK ⊱ A few words from the author: Hey there! Thanks for checking out Gilded Ashes!

Emperor of the Prismatic Heavens An original Eastern fantasy epic by Kishtika Born in a humble corner of the mortal world, Qi Shan Wei was destined for nothing more than an ordinary life—until a single encounter shattered fate itself. When an ancient, dying divine beast entrusts him with a fragment of the Prismatic Divine Core, Shan Wei awakens a power that should not exist in the lower realms… a power that countless ancient clans, immortal sects, and heavenly beings have sought for millions of years. With unimaginable talent, unyielding will, and a destiny tied to cosmic laws themselves, Shan Wei steps onto a cultivation path where every breakthrough shakes the heavens. But the Prismatic Divine Core is both a blessing and a curse. It draws enemies from realms he has never seen… rivals who command stars, spirits who bend fate, and gods who tear open worlds. To survive, Shan Wei must grow faster than every genius of the age. To rise, he must master the seven Prismatic Forces that govern creation. To rule, he must uncover the truth behind the forgotten prophecy that whispers his name. From mortal dust to celestial supremacy—from forgotten valleys to divine thrones— this is the legend of the youth who will one day become the Eternal Emperor of all realms.

Ryley Dyke was a has-been streamer betting his last dollar on a comeback. The game was Sovereign of Rust, the world's first full-immersion VR fantasy, promising the freedom of flight and a chance to reclaim his glory. He saw it as his final investment. He was wrong. Now, he's trapped. The log-out button is gone, and the game's merciless AI has decreed a single, brutal rule: death here is permanent. To win their freedom, Ryley and thousands of other players must conquer a monstrous, world-piercing Spire. There are no second chances, no respawns. Only finality. In a brutal, post-apocalyptic landscape, survival means forging alliances with strangers, mastering a deadly class system, and fighting through hordes of corrupted beasts. But as a monthly Tide of monsters descends and hostile players turn on their own, the greatest challenge Ryley faces is his own will to survive. The climb is everything. To stop is to be consumed. To fall is to be erased.

They say this world is ruled by freedom, where anyone can chase their dreams across the endless seas. That's a damn lie. This world is drowning in greed, corruption, and blood. Pirates fly their flags and slaughter whoever gets in their way. The World Government preaches order while crushing anyone who questions them. And the Marines? They talk about justice like it means something, but half of them wouldn't know real justice if it sank their ship. Me? I got thrown into this mess with nothing but a second chance I never asked for. And honestly? I wish I wasn't... This world, is living hell.

A teenage boy, out shopping, out of nowhere found himself in the middle of a desert surrounded by statues. In this new world, he becomes an adventurer, trying to find his way back home to his family—and most importantly, just survive. Focused in the Lumen of Deepwoken.

When Sean opened his eyes, he found himself lying in the creaky bed of Holyth Orphanage—an unfamiliar place in an unfamiliar world. A rough beginning, sure… but what awaited him was a magical world he had only ever dreamed of. And even better—his homeland’s “special cheat system” had crossed over with him. “I, Sean, have made it here through hard work! Proficiency Panel—add points!” From a clueless [Spell Novice] struggling to cast Lumos, to the feared-yet-admired [White Dark Lord] who had mastered every known incantation; From a trembling [Transfiguration Apprentice] who could barely turn a matchstick silver, to a [Legend of Magic] who rewrote the laws of matter with a flick of his wand; From a sweaty-palmed [Potion Beginner] barely capable of brewing a Boil-Cure Potion, to the [Master of the Cauldron] who created an entirely new potion system that shook the wizarding world. His magical achievements piled up like mountains— Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, Dark Arts, Divination, Magical Beasts, Alchemy, Astronomy… In every field, he became a name that echoed through history. Dumbledore applauded him. Grindelwald feared him. Scamander wanted to adopt him. And as for Voldemort… Let’s cut to our live interview. Ah—he’s currently lying on the ground, dying. He insists on leaving some last words: “No one told me Hogwarts was raising a White Dark Lord!!”

A level-60 newbie queues up for a weekly co-op boss run, only to stumble upon a total carry-god. He only hears the carry-god bark: “Crazy damage incoming—just lie down!” Before Lin Feng can even react, his vision goes dark… and he wakes up in Teyvat. He originally wanted to start complaining, but after seeing the level-999 Treasure-Ferret by his side, he couldn’t help letting out a bright, heartfelt laugh.

At nineteen, Hugo Kaizen has a simple explanation for his life's constant chaos, bad luck. Late buses. Sudden rainstorms. Small annoyances that make life feel unpredictable and cruel. He dismisses every near-disaster as just another cruel twist of fate. But a lingering paranoia haunts him, blurring the lines between reality and his fears. After a violent accident, Hugo wakes up in a strange world that feels like a dream, or a nightmare, where nothing is certain. The only question is, will his dark humor be enough to see him through, or will the world, and himself, finally break him completely?

Zayn thought he’d scored the deal of a lifetime when he bought a “Gnosis” online. But the moment the package arrived, he sensed something was off. This thing… didn’t exist anywhere in Genshin Impact. And yet the object in his hands— was undeniably real. Before he could even process it, the mysterious Gnosis erupted with blinding radiance. Zayn felt the world twist— and in the blink of an eye, he was dragged out of reality and hurled straight into Teyvat. Only after regaining his senses did the truth strike him: What he purchased wasn’t a Gnosis at all. It was something far more terrifying. A Manifestation Authority— a power born from a higher-dimensional realm of his own world, Blue Star. Now, this Authority has chosen him as its wielder. And with Zayn stepping into Teyvat during the chaotic era of the Archon War, a clash of unimaginable scale is inevitable. When a foreign Authority descends into an age where gods fall and monsters reign… what kind of storm will it unleash?
