Shadow leveling

Sung-style underdog taken to the extreme: Elias Crowe was once a promising D-rank Hunter trainee—until a betrayal in a high-risk Gate left him crippled, his mana core shattered, and labeled "permanently unawakened." Disgraced, broke, and mocked as "the living corpse," he survives by taking the dirtiest jobs: bait duty, corpse disposal, anything the real Hunters won't touch. During what should have been his last raid (a suicide mission to pay off crushing debt), Elias dies... briefly. In that darkness between life and death, something ancient answers: the fragmented will of a forgotten Shadow Monarch, granting him the "Shadow Leveling" system. No grand tutorial, no OP start—just a brutal mechanic: every time he kills (or nearly dies), he can steal a fragment of the enemy's shadow, converting it into experience, stats, or summonable shadow soldiers. The catch? He starts at Level 0—no skills, no gear, no mercy—and dying for real means permanent erasure. Elias claws his way back from the bottom: soloing goblin nests, outsmarting parties that once abandoned him, building an unstoppable shadow army one corpse at a time. As he rises, old enemies resurface, Guilds take notice, and the system evolves in terrifying ways—unlocking necromantic powers, shadow teleportation, and the ability to "level" entire battlefields by turning fallen foes into his legion. Fueled by cold revenge against those who left him to die, Elias vows to become untouchable. But the deeper he dives into the Gates, the clearer it becomes: his power isn't a gift. It's a curse tied to an apocalyptic prophecy—and if he reaches the top, the world might burn in shadow.

The Last Existence of The Forgotten

Selarion is an ordinary man living an ordinary life — waking up, working until his body gives out, going home, repeating. He asks nothing extraordinary from the world, and the world, for the most part, returns the favor. That changes on one unremarkable night when exhaustion carries him through a stretch of road the rest of the city has learned to avoid. Three bodies were found there last month. Three murders so grotesque, so deliberate, that even seasoned investigators turned away from the crime scene photographs. Heads removed. Limbs taken. Organs extracted with surgical precision. The city whispered the words black magic in hushed, embarrassed tones — the kind of whisper that meant people were more frightened than they wanted to admit. Selarion didn't believe in magic. He believed in tired feet and a bed waiting at home. He should have kept walking. Instead, a strange glow pulls him toward a magic circle split between two forces — one half consumed by an ancient, hungry darkness, the other half written in what could only be fresh blood. Before he can process what he is looking at, shadow tentacles drag him into a black hole that tears reality open and swallows him completely. What waits on the other side is nothing. Not darkness. Not death. Not sleep. Nothing. The void that existed before the universe decided to exist. No hunger, no pain, no sensation of any kind — a prison with no walls, no warden, and no end in sight. Days blur into months. Months blur into years. The only weapon Selarion has against total mental dissolution is the one thing that has always defined him — sheer, stubborn refusal to give up. He starts counting seconds. He counts all the way to 3,153,600,000. One hundred years later, a pinprick of light appears in the void — and Selarion claws his way toward it. He washes ashore in a world that has moved on entirely without him. The era is wrong. The technology is wrong. The people, the streets, the language, the rules — all of it shifted a century forward while he was suspended in nothingness. He has no money, no identity, no proof that he ever existed at all. The world he belonged to is buried under a hundred years of history. But Selarion is still here. And the magic circle that took him — the murders that preceded it, the blood that wrote those symbols, the darkness that reached out and chose him specifically — none of it was random. Something pulled him into that void deliberately. Something kept him alive inside it. And something decided, after one hundred years, to finally let him out. The question is why. As Selarion navigates a strange new world with nothing but the clothes on his back and a century of isolation carved into his mind, he will slowly uncover a truth that stretches far beyond one cursed patch of earth — a conspiracy older than cities, a power older than history, and a role that was written for him long before he was ever born. He survived the void. Now he has to survive the world that created it.

High School DxD: Return of the Crimson Dragon Emperor

They thought the Red Dragon Emperor was gone. They thought Kuoh was safe from his madness. They were wrong. Hyoudou Issei, the infamous perverted dragon of Kuoh Academy, vanished during a mysterious battle. Everyone thought he was dead lost to some unknown disaster. But Issei didn’t die. Oh no. He was thrown into another world. A brutal world of magic, monsters, demon lords… and plenty of busty heroines. There, he did what he does best. He survived. He trained. He grew stronger. Strong enough to fight gods, conquer kingdoms, and maybe even tame a Demon Lord’s daughter. (Totally not his fault… probably.) Now, after three insane years over there, Issei is back. But this isn’t the same high schooler who used to scream about boobs all day. This Issei has mastered new powers, sharpened his mind, and... okay, he still screams about boobs, but now he can destroy mountains while doing it. The devils, angels, and fallen of this world? They have no idea what’s about to hit them. Old friends don’t know whether to hug him, punch him, or run for their lives. And for those who ever doubted him… well, let’s just say Dress Break has leveled up too. A stronger, crazier, and hornier Red Dragon Emperor. A world on the brink of chaos. And a storm of comedy, romance, ecchi, and overpowered insanity is about to begin. Get ready, Kuoh. Issei’s back and he’s bringing the harem with him. Tag: High School DxD, Fanfiction, Harem, Ecchi, Action, Comedy, Isekai Return, Overpowered, Magic, Romance. ------------------------- If you’d like to support my work, check out my: patreon.com/Greyhounds

SUPREME MANDATE CULTIVATION

They called him talentless. They called him cursed. They were only half right. Xiao Long was born with eyes the color of blood—a mark of demonic possession, the elders whisper. But for sixteen years, he defied the omens, mastering the Xiao Clan's techniques through pure intellect and earning his father's pride. Then came the Talent Awakening Ceremony. While his cousin blazed with fire and his peers manifested elements, Xiao Long's Datian remained silent. Nothing. Void. The clan's pride became its pariah. His father's love turned to cold disappointment. His cousin's jealousy became open cruelty. But the ceremony wasn't a failure. It was an awakening. Deep within Xiao Long's Datian, something ancient stirred—a hunger that consumed the ambient Qi of everyone present without their knowledge. His body didn't reject talent; it devoured all talent. The Void Physique. A constitution that hasn't appeared in five thousand years. And with it came the dreams. A throne of black crystal. Seven generals kneeling. A woman's scream. Falling through endless darkness. When his uncle schemes to have him killed on a suicide mission, Xiao Long discovers the truth in the blood-soaked ruins of an ancient battlefield: he carries the soul fragment of Xian Wu, the last Prince of the Nether Realm, betrayed and assassinated five centuries ago by his seven most trusted generals—generals who still rule the Nether Realm, who hold the fragments of his shattered soul-weapon, and who will stop at nothing to destroy him before he remembers. Now Xiao Long must navigate a world that fears him, master a power that consumes him, and uncover the memories of a life he never lived. The Eight Sects watch with interest. The Five Clans scheme for advantage. The Imperial Court debates his execution. And somewhere in the shadows, the Seven Betrayers sharpen their blades, sensing the return of the prince they murdered. But the greatest threat comes from within. As Xian Wu's memories surface, so does his rage, his grief, and his burning desire for revenge against the Heavenly Realm that orchestrated his fall. The Celestials—the very beings the Imperial Clan worships—are the true enemy. And they know Xiao Long exists. The barriers between realms are weakening. The Celestials are preparing to return. The Seven Betrayers are uniting for the first time in five hundred years. And one boy with cursed eyes must decide: Will he break the realms to avenge his past life? Or will he become the balance that holds back the coming dark? The Mandate says he is nothing. The Mandate is wrong.
