Lord Of Beasts

Ethan Crowe walked out of prison after seven years with nothing to his name and nowhere to belong. The world he returned to was unrecognisable. Gates had torn open across the globe, monsters roamed beyond human control, and society now revolved around the Titled - people chosen by mysterious voices and granted supernatural powers that made them heroes, weapons, and rulers all at once. Ethan wasn’t one of them. Not at first. Lost, angry, and with no future worth chasing, Ethan was barely surviving when a voice finally spoke to him. "Your Title is… Lord Of Beasts." But something about his awakening was wrong. Instead of gaining power in the real world like every other Titled, Ethan awakened a System tied to the Tower Of Beasts - a brutal, game-like world he can only enter while asleep. Inside the Tower, Ethan must fight for survival against monstrous creatures, earning power through a system of skills, evolution, and beasts. As for the beasts he acquires there? They persist beyond his dreams... Registered as an E Rank Titled with only D Rank potential, Ethan should have been insignificant. Yet the Lord of Beasts cannot be measured by ordinary standards. As Ethan grows stronger at an impossible rate, his existence begins to ripple outward - drawing the attention of elite Titled, criminal syndicates, and forces lurking behind the Gates themselves. His past refuses to stay buried, his beasts grow more dangerous, and the truth behind his Title hints at something far more terrifying than anyone realises. In a world ruled by power, Ethan Crowe starts at the bottom. But as the Lord of Beasts, it’s only a matter of time before he climbs to the top! Note: The novel is a gritty version of the typical hunter/awakener novels with a beast twist, which I hope you will enjoy Feel free to reach out on Instagram/Discord: BerserkBaldy P.S.

Junji Ito: I Shall Smash Hellstar Remina

Dying and being reincarnated into the body of young Amamiya Rin in Japan felt like the perfect start to a new life. When the four beautiful girls who put me in a coma visited my hospital room to apologize, I even thought I had stumbled into the beginning of a rom-com. I couldn't have been more wrong. This reality follows the twisted worldview of Japanese horror. The patient in the bed next to me just "gave birth" to Tomie. My grand "reincarnation power" is actually the plot of The Long Dream—a curse that forces me to live through eons of brutal stress every time I fall asleep. In three months, tops, I will be reduced to ashes. To make matters worse, when I refused to give a "little discount" on the 30-million-yen accident settlement, the fake politeness of my debtors vanished. They stopped blinking, smiled in macabre synchronization, and revealed needle-filled tentacles lurking in their throats. Outside, a biological apocalypse is about to erupt: fish with legs are lurking about, Hanging Balloons are watching us, and Hellstar Remina is staring down at us, salivating. Compared to the approaching extinction-level disasters, entities like Kayako, Mimiko, and Sadako are nothing but small fry. Bedridden in a hospital while demanding debt from abominations disguised as girls... how do I beat this game without a cheat? Simple. A dream world a thousand or ten thousand times longer than an ordinary person's is still a kind of cheat. Is the flesh weak and ascension mechanical? Or is it mind over matter on the path to transcendental sainthood? Kids make choices; adults take it all! A physical body at its peak, perfect martial arts, and the ultimate light amidst the darkness. Starting by usurping the power of the "Group," I will link the brains of these freaks to create the Tomie Network. I, Amamiya Rin, will grow stronger through infinite nightmares. And, in the end, I will bring down Planet Remina with a single punch! ____ (P) Walnutchan

Born Sacred

Noah Blackwell never got a second chance. He was attacked the moment his story began, targeted in an assassination attempt by a man who claimed to have been reborn from the future. The reason was simple… and terrifying. In that future, Noah would become the Final Devil, a being whose hands were soaked in blood, a godlike existence that would end the world. Noah found the accusation ridiculous. He was ordinary. He avoided trouble. He had never taken a life, he hadn't even killed a chicken, Then the Supreme Will descended upon Blue Star. The world shattered overnight as humanity entered the Era of National Awakening. Every person awakened extraordinary abilities, and civilization was forced to evolve, or perish. When Noah awakened, death itself rejected him. EX-Rank Talent : Born Sacred. No method could permanently kill him. Upon death, he could resurrect instantly, or return safely elsewhere. And as long as he breathed, his body, mind, and soul grew stronger... endlessly. Control. Perfection. Infinite growth. The power was absolute. What should have been a blessing quickly became a curse. Reborn individuals hunted him. Organizations watched him in fear. Prophecies began to surface, each one pointing to Noah as the inevitable Future Devil. Noah didn't want domination. He didn't want destruction. He only wanted to live. But immortality attracts chaos. And when breathing alone makes one invincible, the line between god and devil grows dangerously thin. If the world insists on turning him into monster... What happens when Noah finally stops holding back?
