A sudden announcement from a demon of the Demon World will bring drastic change to humanity. Finn Wilson, an ordinary student with a complex personality, may be the one to alter the destined destruction of his world.

Kael Viremont woke up to the stench of mold and a title that was basically a death warrant. He wasn’t the golden child or the brave war hero. He was the spare—the family embarrassment dumped on a rotting frontier estate that even the gods had given up on. He was left with nothing but starving people, hostile neighbors, and a "curse" that kept the locals whispering in the dark. The world expected him to roll over and die quietly. But they dragged the wrong man into this mess. Back in his old life, Kael didn’t pray for solutions; he engineered them. He doesn’t care about noble bloodlines or the "divine right" to rule. While the other lords are busy stabbing each other in the back for scraps of land, Kael is in the dirt. He’s fixing the plows. He’s organizing the workers. He’s turning a graveyard into a powerhouse by treating magic like a math problem that’s long overdue for a solution. But there’s a reason this land was abandoned. Something is buried deep under the Viremont soil—a secret that proves the world’s history is a lie. Now that Kael is digging, the powers that be are starting to notice. The shadows are moving, and the "miracles" are starting to bleed. Kael didn’t claw his way back from the dead just to survive a few seasons. He’s here to build something unshakeable. If the laws of reality don't like his plans, he’ll just have to break them and build something better.

Michael Aster used to dominate arenas as a rising esports star, dropping out of high school at sixteen and becoming a millionaire by seventeen. But when real-life monsters invaded, the world shifted its focus, leading to the collapse of sponsorships and leagues. Now eighteen, Michael retired from gaming. At nineteen, he watches hunters on TV in a Seoul bar when something extraordinary happens, a system awakens in his mind. Unlike other hunters, he gains a combat interface resembling a competitive shooter. He must lock in weapons, spend credits for gear, and adhere to strict rules as monsters attack around him. In a chaotic world, Michael's system lacks flashy powers, but he possesses one crucial advantage: perfect aim and timing, honed through years of high-pressure gameplay. Now, he must use these skills to survive and reach the next checkpoint before time runs out. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/815416/fictions I will be posting this story on Royal Road

In a huge, black mansion lived a mysterious yet dangerous man—Lucca Knight. No one dared to get close to him, for his power had overthrown many enemies. But one day, his master told him that his life would only last for a year. If he wished to live for eternity, he had to find the ring—a ring that held the power of everlasting life. Finding it, however, would not be easy. He first had to locate its keeper. On the other hand, Seraphina Blake— a hopeless and depressive woman whose life was in chaos struggled to get by. Love was the last thing she believed in until her path collided with Lucca's in the deadly hunt for the ring. One sought eternity. The other just wanted to live. But the ring may demanded more than either was willing to give.

She opens her eyes inside a glass pod, surrounded by flowers that have grown over everything. She has no past. No memory. Not even a name, until she finds it etched into the glass pod she just crawled out of. Ashe. Everyone here woke up the same way. They call themselves emergents, and most of them have made their peace with the not-knowing. But Ashe is not like the rest of them. A written voice that calls itself Seven follows her through ruins and open plains, knowing things about her that she doesn't know herself. She doesn't trust it. She doesn't trust much of anything here. But she has questions, and this world is going to answer them. Her journey takes her through ruins older than anyone alive and settlements where survival is a daily fight. Along the way, she begins to uncover things the world has kept buried, things that seem to have been waiting for her all along.

Arthur Sterling died exactly as he lived: a ruthless liquidator who spent his life gutting the weak for the powerful. Reborn as a starving beggar in the muddy slums of a magical world, Arthur realizes a sickening truth: the "Gods" of the higher realms treat this universe exactly like his old enemies treated their victims. It is a disposable battery farm. Mortals are just livestock. And the world is ripe for the harvest. Arthur refuses to be a pawn in a rigged game ever again. He isn't going to slowly climb this universe's cultivation ranks. He is going to conquer it from the top down. [Ding!] [Congratulations on Activating the 10,000x Infinite Return System] [Passive Skill 'Bind' Unlocked: All Experience, Cultivation, and Insights gained by Bound Targets are passively transferred to the Host at a 10,000x multiplier.] Why lift a finger to train when the world is full of eager, naive heroes willing to bleed for you? Arthur slaps his first Binder on a plucky "Chosen One." The boy sweats blood to swing a wooden sword a thousand times. [Ding!] [Target 'Caden Cross' has completed 1,000 sword swings.] [10,000x Multiplier Activated!] [Host has gained: 10,000,000 perfect strikes. Forging Domain-Level Sword Intent!] His mortal body violently restructures into that of an apex predator, but he doesn't stop there. Arthur aggressively expands his reach. He binds an untouchable Arch-Mage suffering from an ancient curse and a terrifying Demon Empress chained in the abyssal depths. Feeding on their passive energy, he tears through the absolute limits of the Mortal Domain in mere days. The cataclysmic influx of cosmic power forcefully rewrites his DNA, forging the Dimensional Breaker Physique. It is an impossible, reality-defying vessel, a body so devastatingly dense that it completely nullifies the physical laws, supreme curses, and crushing gravity of the universe itself. To Arthur, the arrogant deities of the Apex Realm and the Celestial Court aren't untouchable Gods. They are just bloated tyrants sitting on stolen power, waiting to be dethroned. When the Heavens finally notice the anomaly and descend to enforce their absolute laws, Arthur doesn't bow. He forcefully severs the planet's leylines, transforms an entire floating academy into an apocalyptic dreadnought - the Ebon Citadel - and blasts his way into the higher dimensions. Armed with a pitch-black sword wreathed in the Primordial Flame of creation, Arthur Sterling is coming for the throne of the multiverse. The Gods built a slaughterhouse to harvest the weak. The new Emperor is here to burn it to the ground.

He sees his mate, his heir, and the bond that never died. This time, he’ll destroy anything to keep them both. One deception started the war between them. One child will finish it.

If fate is a story already written, then what happens when someone who has already read it, decides to intervene? Thrown into the beginning of Shadow Slave, an outsider, a reader walks a path that was never meant to exist. He is not omniscient or invincible. He knows enough to make things worse.

In a realm forged from the collision of two universes, existence is a meat grinder. Spanning dozens of galaxies, this "Great Link" has become the primary theater of war for the cosmos' most formidable factions. Here, Divine Entities fall by the thousands, their deaths fertilizing the soil for new ascendants in a relentless cycle of slaughter, carnage and greed. But from the friction of this chaos—the gore, the death, and the broken laws of physics—a new lifeform emerged: The Calamity. To the outsiders, the Calamities are not people; they are living ore. They are hunted for their essences, consumed as nourishment, or broken into servitude. While most are mindless beasts of destruction, a rare few are born with souls and intellect. They are the prey that knows it is being hunted. In a forgotten corner of this sprawling graveyard, a Rank 1 Calamity is born. He is the weakest of his kind, a flickering spark in a storm of divine-tier predators. He awakens with nothing but a primal directive: Ascend or be consumed. Yet, buried within his frail form lie three anomalies—illogical, reality-warping abilities that defy the established power scales of both universes. In a world where "strength" is measured by the bodies of fallen divines, one weakling must test the limits of his broken gifts. Can a creature born of chaos bring order to a realm of divine greed, or will he simply be the highest-quality resource ever harvested. ——— Simple:— A realm was formed when two different universes were connected. A realm that spanned for dozens of galaxies in diameter. In time chaos, death and disorder spread through the whole realm, and from these mentioned elements came a completely new race of beings; which the lifeforms of the two universes termed as [Calamity]. Most were savage; unintelligent in nature but there were some, stronger ones who were born with sentience, intelligence! The calamities hated it as their home was ravaged by war and their kind was hunted because of greed, as they were seen as nothing but resources by the outsiders to either consume or tame! However, despite of everything, they couldn't do anything, as if they had a few strongs, than the outsiders had many on many strongs. The massive realm had become the main focus of all the main powers of the two universes. it had become a main ground where three different powers fought on a daily basis in every corner of the realm. Every day there were [Divine Entities] that fell to their doom, but every day there were also many how ascended to [Divinity]. The opportunities and the resources were abundant, along with the dangers and death that came hand in hand with them. Meanwhile, in such an environment; a weak calamity was born in some far corner of the realm. Away from the real dangers, yet still not, because even though, he had sentience, he was born weak and ignorant. Only born with the superficial knowledge; that his kind was hunted, and he must become stronger as soon as possible if he wants to survive, and not become nourishment for someone else. Nonetheless, though born weakest as a rank 1 calamity, he had something special that not many had. An absurdly and illogically strong ability, another absurdly strong ability and another strong ability. However, it was still unknown, if these abilities were even strong enough to make him survive, let alone make him strong, stronger than anybody else, or perhaps strong enough to make him climb to the top. The Apex! ——— Note: The MC is indeed born with strong abilities, however that doesn't mean those abilities will make him insanely stronger from the start! No, instead to become strong and peerless, he would have to work for it, and suffer for it! Only then would he be worthy enough to be called.. ——— Power Stones—250—1 Chapter Golden Tickets—50—1 Chapter [For both effects stackable up to 5 times] ——— Gifts— 1000 Coins—1 Chapter 5000 Coins—5 Chapters 10,000 Coins—10 Chapters so on, so on... ———

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.

[18+] [MATURE CONTENT] He died once — pushed to death by the one person who had spent years making his life hell. || He woke up in someone else's body. Someone else's wedding. Someone else's empire. The rules of his new life were simple: smile at the banquets, pour the tea, be the perfect house-husband. Survive. Gerffron Wadee was very good at surviving. He had already done it once, in a different body, in a different world, under the hands of someone who hated him for simply existing. || He had not planned on Styrmir. He had not planned on the boy locked in the dungeon beneath the estate — eighteen years old, body wasted to half that, eyes like winter that had forgotten it was allowed to melt. He had not planned on the way that boy flinched at raised voices but never at his. Had not planned on the nights spent teaching him to read, the mornings teaching him to fight, the quiet dangerous in-between hours that felt like something Gerffron had never once been allowed to have. || He told himself it was pity. Then responsibility. He ran out of lies around the time Styrmir started looking at him like he was the only fixed point in a spinning world. The Duke has her own secrets. The Crown Prince has his own designs. And the past Gerffron thought he'd left behind in another life has followed him across worlds, wearing a brand new face. Gerffron Wadee has survived one lifetime of being destroyed by someone he trusted. He knows exactly how dangerous it is to let someone matter. || He lets Styrmir matter anyway. || Because some loves don't ask permission. They just arrive — quiet, inevitable, and absolutely impossible to undo. BL isekai | slow burn | dark secrets | he came back to life just to lose his heart all over again

The universe learned to listen. Now it must learn to choose. After the Seam awakened and Echo became the conscience between worlds, existence itself changed. Civilizations no longer lived in silence. Choices carried weight. Consequences were witnessed. And humanity was no longer alone in shaping its own destiny. But peace born from legitimacy is fragile. Far from the center of influence, a new presence begins to emerge—one that does not value freedom, only survival. One that offers certainty instead of consent. Stability instead of choice. For the first time, the universe will face something Echo cannot simply listen to. Meanwhile, Aarav—the boy who once stood at the center of everything—has stepped away. No longer a symbol. No longer a reference point. Just human. And yet, his absence begins to matter more than his presence ever did. As civilizations begin choosing sides, and reality itself starts to bend around competing truths, Echo must confront a question it was never meant to answer: Is freedom worth the risk of extinction? Or is survival worth the loss of choice? In a universe where morality has gravity, every decision pulls reality with it. And not every world will fall in the same direction.

"So naive, Melanie. So stupid." Those were the last words I heard before a bullet ended my life. Betrayed by my best friend and murdered by her boyfriend, I thought it was the end. Instead, I woke up in a cold wedding hall, wearing a dress worth a kingdom and staring into the icy eyes of Duke Draven Everfrost. I’ve transmigrated into The Duke’s Obsession—as Seraphina Helene Valemont, the villainess destined to be executed by her own husband for treason. My wedding vows haven't even been spoken, yet the Duke has already declared my silence as submission. In this world of ruthless aristocrats and deadly magic, I have only two goals: Avoid the executioner's blade. Never trust anyone again. But with a mysterious "System" breathing down my neck and a husband who treats me like a political prisoner, surviving the first night might be harder than avoiding the end of the book. [MISSION UPDATE: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE - AVOID EXECUTION. CURRENT RISK: CRITICAL.]

Every character carries their own story, their own pain, and their own reason to keep going. Amid the chaos and bloodshed, unexpected bonds begin to form. In a world falling apart, even the smallest moments of love and hope shine brighter than ever. When trust is fragile and death is always one step away… How far will they go to survive?

He isn't just armed with knowledge of the show, but three impossible abilities: the Dimensional Backpack, which grants him one random survival item (like a medkit or grappling gun) every period of time; Fight Master, allowing him to learn any combat style instantly; and Pain Heal, a double-edged power that lets him miraculously cure others by absorbing their agony into his own body
