She was only meant to steal a crown. He was only meant to catch a thief. But when a commoner girl and a disgraced dragon prince collide on a night of fire and betrayal, their fates entwine in a dangerous bargain that will shake a kingdom. As court whispers sharpen into daggers and dragons bow to a power long thought lost, love becomes the most forbidden weapon of all. Because in a game where brothers betray brothers and queens wage war from their thrones, one truth burns brighter than dragonfire— The crown was never meant to be stolen. It was meant to choose.

In the Fifth District of the City of Welfanshelm, there is a shepherd named Mizmaze, who takes care of someone else's pasture and herd of sheep. He didn't ask for anything, and has only bread and milk to fill his hunger every day until dusk settles. It is his normal life, until the last day of the year when he is obliged to meet with his master, only to receive a Sigil and obtain mysterious special abilities. Like his name, he buried his past in a labyrinth within himself, and such secrets must never be known even to him as well. But his new life will change the trajectory of the normal life he wants to live. Because he now becomes a Child. Not a child, but a Child who gains power. A Child that is accepted in a sect called . . . Orphans. 「For seven seasons, you have tended my herd of sheep without asking for anything in return. So shall there be a sevenfold reap for you alone as a token of my gratitude. I bestow upon you my blessing, but beware, for there is a flaw.」 「I shall open you a path now to ascend, Mizmaze of the Fifth District of Welfanshelm.」 「You are to rise as the Blind Prophet.」 Little did he know this would be his road as the bridegroom of damnation. ━━━━━༺༻━━━━━━ Main Genre: High Fantasy Additional Tags: TowerClimbing, Inheritance, Orphanhood, Selfhood, Godhood, Singularity, DeathGames, Trials, SpecialAbilities, Gore, Dark, Mythology, Epic, Symbiosis, Heirhood Invented/Hidden Tags: ??, ??

On a far northern island between two continents, an old mage fallen from grace sets out to descend into a dungeon, where fortune, glory and death await. His goal is to find and slay a dragon and claim its smoldering soul, so he may redeem the mistake he made so many years ago. The other’s sacrifice simply cannot have been in vain. At his side he finds a warrior and a lockpick. Together they will face the dungeon’s lowest depths or die trying.

In a world where the chosen bear Divine Scars glowing outlines channeling infinite power leaked by Singular Beings humans forge abilities from that endless divine energy. One outline: Lightlinger. Two: Lightrozer. Their strength is bound to one or two domains, dictated by which Divine's energy flows through their scar. However, some only have an outline, with no scar. But the world is never fair. Those not chosen, driven by envy, turn to a darker path. They become Darkens killing and absorbing finite souls through cursed artifacts called Ghost Vaults. Unlike the limited Lights, Darkens craft unpredictable, often fatal abilities from stolen life essence. Souls are finite, and the hunt never ends. The vastness of existence holds boredom in some corners… and alongside it, curiosity guiding everything. Age of Layers dives into the hearts of broken souls where guilt never fades, promises warp lives, and fragile bonds are the only defiance against an indifferent cosmos. It asks one question: What are humans? Discord : https://discord.gg/AuMgwXfk4V

Dr. Seo Hana spent her life studying monsters. As a criminal psychologist with photographic memory, she could recall every detail of every case she had ever encountered. Violence, trauma, manipulation—she understood the darkest corners of the human mind. Then she died. When she wakes again, she finds herself reborn in the world of a historical novel she once read, inside the body of Lady Seorin, a noblewoman doomed to die. The story she remembers is simple. A brilliant Crown Prince rises to power. A saintly heroine becomes his empress. Together, they save the empire. But that was never the whole story. Because in the shadows of that shining narrative exists another figure. An illegitimate prince feared throughout the empire. A weapon of war. A destroyer of noble houses. A monster even loyal generals dread. And eventually, the man who will rebel against the Crown Prince and plunge the empire into chaos. The final villain. The problem is… Seo Hana remembers the novel clearly. Except for one thing. Despite her perfect memory, the most important details about that villain prince are missing. Why did he rebel? What pushed him to destroy the empire? And why does the so-called saintly heroine suddenly feel far more dangerous than the book ever suggested? With a loving father, a warm younger sister she refuses to lose, and a future already stained with blood, Hana decides to change the story. Even if it means walking straight into the path of the empire’s greatest monster. Because sometimes the difference between a villain and a hero… Is simply who wrote the story first.

"The world isn't just black and white. There’s this gray area where the truth is too painful to bring to light, but too rotten to just leave alone." ​Nakamura Izumi has one simple rule for life: stay an "extra." To him, school is just a tiring, scripted play full of fake kindness and social BS. He’s perfectly fine sitting in the corner of the classroom, watching the world with a cold, cynical eye without getting dragged into anyone’s drama. ​But his peace gets trashed when the Student Council drags him into a unit that doesn’t even exist on the official school records: The Special Services Division. ​Their job isn't picking up trash or organizing the library. They’re the "fixers" for problems that are too messy for the Student Council to touch, yet too weird to ignore. From cryptic hate mail to the dark secrets hiding behind a model student’s smile, Izumi is forced to get his hands dirty. ​In this division, he’s paired up with Kurokawa Reina. She’s the total antithesis of everything Izumi hates, yet somehow a mirror of his own soul. Reina is stunning, but her tongue is as sharp as a scalpel, and her blunt honesty usually ends up wrecking people’s mental state. Along with Minami—Izumi’s cheerful classmate who’s secretly dealing with her own doubts—the three of them get stuck in a really weird dynamic. ​As they solve one case after another in that gray area, the walls Izumi built around himself start to crack. The old scars from his past, the ones that made him hate social interaction in the first place, slowly begin to surface. ​Can Izumi really stay a background character when he’s being forced into the lead role of Reina’s life? Or are they both just going to end up hurting each other in their search for a truth that might not even exist?

"Could you survive a horror movie?" That's the question Riley must answer after he and his friends are lured to Carousel, a malevolent, inescapable town where horror movies come to terrifying life. Riley thinks he is in big trouble when he is assigned the Archetype, a minor support class with a nasty habit of dying early in the script. At first resigned to a fate of dying over and over again, his luck changes when he unlocks the trope. As long as he can convincingly pretend he hasn't noticed the monsters and slashers hunting his team, they cannot harm him. At first, the ability appears to be a cruel joke. But in Carousel, the script is everything. Riley realizes that with a little bit of acting and some clever exploitation, his "useless" class might just be his greatest strength. What to expect: - Strategic LitRPG gameplay and clever exploitation of movie tropes. - Perilous storylines pulled straight from your favorite horror subgenres. - Creative and deadly twists on classic horror movie clichés. - Moderate stats-based strategy where outsmarting the script is better than out-punching the monster. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Original Novel and not a Fan-Fiction!!! The author of this novel is 'lost_rambler'. I found this and upload it here with some edits. If the original author wants it removed then contact me.

Have you heard of the Black Cross?” “Of course. Aren’t they a group of murderers?” “What? No. My grandmother said they’re the guardians of the kingdom.” “That’s nonsense. My father says they’re just monster hunters.” “Then why does my teacher say they’re only a myth?” The children sitting around the street stall fell silent. “…So what are they really?” “I heard their leader is a terrifying monster.” “I heard one of them can eat an entire elephant.” “That’s stupid. They must be a rumor.” “Then why is there a bounty of 10,000 gold for information… and 1 million for capturing one of them?” “…Good point.” Nobody in the kingdom agrees on what the Black Cross really is. Heroes? Villains? Or a party for hire. No one knows how many members they have. No one knows what they look like. For all anyone knows… they could be anyone. The children burst into laughter. At that moment, one of them bumped into a man walking past the street. He carried a long staff across his shoulders, both hands lazily resting behind it. “Ah—sorry mister!” the boy said. “It’s fine,” the man replied with an easy smile. Then he leaned down and whispered quietly, “I heard the Black Cross is real.” The boy’s eyes widened. “And their leader,” the man added with a grin, “…is extremely cool and handsome.” Then he continued walking, disappearing into the crowd.

The night the sky split open, everyone in the kingdom believed the world would end. Black flames poured from the heavens. Demons descended. Cities burned. And the Demon Prince stepped onto human soil for the first time in a thousand years. They called him Cairis Vantheir, the heir to the Demon Throne. Cold. Merciless. Untouchable. A monster who slaughtered knights like insects. A man whose beauty was said to be so terrifying that people froze before he killed them. And yet— The one person who ruined everything for him… Was a quiet village witch who wanted nothing to do with demons.

Six years before the night the Uchiha clan was slaughtered— Yusuke already knew the ending. He transmigrated into the world of Naruto, born into the doomed Uchiha clan. He survived the Third Great Ninja War. He rose to Vice Captain of the Konoha Military Police Force. And he watched. He watched as Uchiha Fugaku led the clan deeper into isolation. He watched as Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled gently while tightening the leash. He watched as the seeds of massacre slowly took root. Six years remained. Six years before the Night of Blood. Enough. If Fugaku insisted on guiding the Uchiha toward extinction— Then Yusuke would seize the throne himself. He would become Clan Head. He would crush internal weakness. He would turn the Uchiha into the most feared force in Konoha. And this time— The massacre would never happen. Because his true power had finally awakened. Whenever a skill reaches 100% proficiency, it breaks its limits and evolves. Fire Release (100%) → Fire Release: Chakra Mode Three-Tomoe Sharingan (100%) → Mangekyō Sharingan In the clan assembly hall, before elders, elites, and spies— Yusuke publicly challenged Uchiha Fugaku. Before the entire Uchiha. Before the Hokage. Before the village. And he won. From that day forward, the Uchiha no longer waited for fate. They rewrote it. The era of hesitation ended. The era of dominance began. This is not the story of a survivor. This is the story of the man who overturned destiny— And became the strongest Uchiha of his generation.

Magic rules this world—but Ivan has inherited the remnants of a fallen technological civilization. With power, strategy, and ambition, he will conquer lands, colonize new planes, and build an empire across worlds. In a universe where planes collide and civilizations rise and fall, only those who master both sorcery and technology will dominate.

Ongoing.... A black robe, long hair, a man unlike any other… Walking down the street, he was just an emotionless food deliveryman. After eating his takeout, it was time to collect the food. … Beifeng sheathed his knife. “Hey, Conan fainted yesterday?” Beifeng, bewildered, took Conan and his phone. The moonlight was hazy. The wind in Hokkaido was biting. The unconscious Conan was repeatedly bewildered by the wind. Beifeng: “I’m a good person!” Beifeng: “I mean it!” Conan had already passed out, collapsing into his arms. … A fleeting glimpse, unspoken understanding. Intertwined lives like brushing shoulders in a vast sea of ​​people.

Once, the Valerion Clan was spoken of with respect—and fear. They were one of the strongest clans to ever stand on that continent. But power always attracts envy… and secrets always draw blood. Behind their prosperity, the Valerions kept something that should never have existed in this age—a relic from the Peak Era, an era when extraordinary beings ruled the world before being wiped out by a mysterious catastrophe. Then on a moonless night, a massacre took place. An unknown group attacked with a single goal: to destroy the Valerions and seize the relic. Flames devoured their ancestral lands. Screams filled the sky. And when dawn broke… the once-feared clan had vanished from history. Only three people survived. Since that day, the remaining Valerion bloodlines have lived in the shadows, hiding their names, waiting for the right moment—or perhaps waiting for the next destruction. Because the relic from the Peak Era may still exist.
