“You incompetent god! I should’ve been the Alpha with big di*k, not some pitiful Omega!” — Cherion’s death was… not heroic. Winning the lottery only to die of a heart attack five minutes later was the definition of cosmic irony. But fate wasn’t done laughing at him yet. He woke up inside a tragic omegaverse novel he once read, right in the body of the pitiful omega doomed to be rejected, humiliated, and die alone. Still, he thought, “Fine. I’ll just avoid the main plot.” Except the main plot avoided him. But the script suddenly changed! Instead of being cast aside, Cherion was married off to Zarius, the empire’s greatest war hero… and the man destined to become the villain everyone feared. A cursed Alpha, praised as a savior but fated to die by the Crown Prince’s hand. Married to the future villain? Doomed. Married to a cursed Alpha? Double doomed. No, no doomed at all! He had a plan. A brilliant, flawless, absolutely desperate plan… but still a plan! “I said I’ll help you break your curse. In exchange, you let me go. Do we have a deal or not? Or are you too insecure to trust an Omega?” “Careful, little Omega. That sharp tongue of yours is daring me to test how it tastes.”

I woke up as an extra in a famous novel. Before I could even panic, a system window appeared. [Mission: Confess to Myles Cortez.] [Favorability: -10] [Time Remaining: 30 minutes] [Penalty: Death] Myles Cortez, the final villain of the story. Apparently, if I want to live, I have to seduce him. Easy, right? ... Wrong. "You think you can back out now?" His fingers tightened behind my head, eyes dark. "Blake, you confessed to me every day with that smile." ...I may have seduced him a little too well.

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.

Fifty years ago, the Abyss appeared in the world, and the world was never the same. From the Abyss emerged Magical Beasts with unimaginable strength and power that sought to prey on humans and destroy the human race. Yet, alongside the Abyss was a power to awaken a magical occupation that grants its bearers magical abilities, enabling them to fight back. Now, awakened humans with magical abilities are tasked with venturing deep into the Abyss to destroy it once and for all. But there is more to the Abyss than humanity knew. … … Thoren Starfall has been plagued by disease since his childhood. To save him from the Mana-Eating Worm, his parents took a high-interest loan when he was close to dying. When Thoren Starfall recovered from the disease, he awakened the weakest occupation: a Necromancer. As an Awakener, it is compulsory for him to venture into the Abyss, but with a useless occupation, his fate is already decided. Having lost their first daughter to the Abyss, the Starfall family fell into despair. Thoren, however, is different. While everyone calls his occupation useless, he believes otherwise. Hidden beneath his weak occupation lies an Ex-Rank talent, one that even he doesn’t fully understand. But first, he must venture into the Abyss and return in less than 14 days to protect his parents from becoming slaves.

Humanity was never prepared for the day it stopped being the strongest species on Earth. When monsters emerge and civilization begins to collapse, seventeen-year-old Arthur finds himself in a world where ignorance can be deadlier than any creature lurking in the ruins. While others struggle to survive, Arthur studies the things trying to kill him. Their movements. Their strengths. Their weaknesses. Every encounter is a lesson, and every mistake is a lesson he might not live to learn twice. But the monsters are only part of the problem. The world is changing. New possibilities are emerging from the ruins of the old, and the rules of survival are only the beginning of what humanity must learn. As Arthur searches for answers, he begins a journey that will take him far beyond the limits of an ordinary survivor. In a world where strength decides who gets to live, understanding may be Arthur's greatest weapon. And he intends to learn.

Everyone wants a second chance until they're trapped in an impossible loop. Grey wasn't one to lust after redos. He lived life with his heart on his sleeve and a pep in his step, but the universe had other plans for him, plans that started with a knife in the gut and a survival game show warring alien races used to take the edge off. The good news was that his new Spirit, Prometheus, didn't ask him whether he wanted a redo or not before it yanked his soul back in time and whiplashed it with the worst case of déjà vu he had ever experienced. The bad news was that the producers of this stupid survival game show had for some reason chosen to target him. The robot arms meant to fit his Nexis Suit glitched, and now he couldn't communicate with their damned system. To make matters worse, they were painting him out to be some streaking, perverted madman all because the viewers found it hilarious. No system. No stats. No rewards. He was stuck in this hellscape with the strength of a human and no way to improve. All he could do was die. And die again. And then die again. He'd be damned if he didn't piss on every one of their graves. [Warning. Obscene gesture detected] [This is your first warning. If there is a second—] "FUCK YOU!"

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.

"F**K! I'm dead!" That was the first word I muttered after regaining my memories from Earth. Reincarnating into a world of cultivation should’ve been a blessing. Adventure, immortality, power—what’s not to love? But then I remembered what my family did. My sister just broke off an engagement with a crippled young master—definitely a future protagonist. My mother ripped a Dao Bone from my cousin and gave it to me—guaranteed future revenge arc. And me? I’m already a third-rate villain: bullying weaklings and flaunting my Bai Clan name. Worst part? Despite the Dao Bone, I’m still trash at cultivation. My only hope? The System... which I’ve had for years. “I just never realized... It was in English!”

Xu Yang died.At least,that was supposed to be the end.When he opened his eyes again,he found himself lying in a cold forest,his body covered in wet black fur.He tried to move,but froze when he saw four small paws in front of him.He was a cat.Not just any black cat—a low-level cat demon inside a cultivation novel he had once read. A novel he never finished. Before Xu Yang can even process his new life,a cold voice suddenly sounds in his head. [System activated.] "...What?" [Host has been assigned nine lives.] Xu Yang blinks. [These lives are not blessings.] His smile disappears. "...What do you mean?" [Every life has a destined death.] "Excuse me?" [Death is mandatory.] Xu Yang stares into the distance. "Then why give me nine lives?!" [You may ask again after your first death.] "That's even worse!" And that's how Xu Yang discovers his new life comes with one very unfair condition: He is not allowed to live. Every life has a different path.Every death brings him closer to something he cannot yet understand.And every time he awakens again,the world changes in ways that shouldn't be possible. People forget him. Memories disappear. Events occur that were never written in the novel. Even the System begins behaving strangely. [Warning.] [Original storyline deviation detected.] "Can you fix it?" [No.] "Can you tell me what's happening?" [No.] "Then what are you useful for?" [Survival assistance.] "I'm starting to dislike you." [Acknowledged.] Unfortunately,the System is the least of Xu Yang's problems. The cultivation world is full of sects that hunt demons,immortals who hide their own secrets,and forces that seem to know more about his fate than he does. And somewhere along the way,Xu Yang realizes something is terribly wrong. His deaths aren't random. Someone or something is making sure each life ends exactly when it should.But fate makes one mistake.It leaves Xu Yang with the ability to choose what he does before he dies.So he starts changing things.One small choice then another.Until the story he once knew becomes unrecognizable. And the System gives him a final warning: [Host.] [You were never supposed to survive this long.] Xu Yang looks at the road ahead. "Then I guess Heaven should have written a better ending." Nine lives.Death is guaranteed. But Xu Yang has never been very good at following rules. First time writing fantasy story! Hope you enjoy:)

The new darkness is here

I woke from a dream, unintelligible mutterings echoing in my ears. I had forgotten myself, lost my past. I looked around, only to find I was already in hell, explosions rang through the blue sky, bullets ravaged the streets like a torrent, and the fires of war burned on this land without pause. The creatures who lived here had bodies that looked fragile yet were unfazed by ordinary firearms, they formed factions for their own ends, and spent their days slaughtering one another. Then, they found me... They called themselves students, and told me this place was called Kivotos. They also addressed me as, "Sensei." ---- Source: https: ()//()www.trxs( . )cc/ () tongren/ () 8630. )(html Author: Otter of Chaos
