"Hmphff… I don’t really care about myself. I’ve always been the forgotten one. The useless one, basically just another side character.

A twisted sense of redemption against humanity… Through this war, Hyzar will be forced to endure emotions to their highest calibre like Betrayal. Love. Hate. Heartbreak. And above all else, suffering. A lot of suffering. A battle where he will lose everything.

Taelith has no surname on file and no memory of why. He knows what he is: a Haunted Arsenal, a practitioner who fights with whatever's in reach and reads rooms the way other people breathe. What he doesn't know is what he lost, when he lost it, or who decided he should lose it. The Practitioner Accord's licensing exam was supposed to be a formality. Instead it produced a party. A silver-haired Magiker who stops moving at exactly the right moment, a Hollow Giant who carries a dead woman's halberd and says what he means and nothing else, and a too-capable applicant who answered every question perfectly and then withdrew their application without explanation. The license opened doors. Behind one of them: a closed research programme, a classified review, and a name written in a margin by someone who had learned to take up less space than they needed. The name is Enna. He doesn't know why it matters yet. Haunted x Arsenal is a progression fantasy about what gets taken from people and why, told through four practitioners in a harbour city who are trying to do the work correctly while the institutions they serve do the same thing less correctly. The mystery is twelve years old and has been waiting. UPDATES DAILY. EXTRA CHAPTERS EVERY 100 POWER STONES

A story about Corin, a young man that seeks to understand emotions in a wonderfully mysterious and dark world.

[Ding! A new item is in shop. Would you like to buy it?] [Ding! Collect Faith Points and become the strongest] When people are reborn in other worlds, they usually gain mysterious powers or a helper that guides them. But Cyrus Malcolm got none of them when he got my second chance at life. One day, after finishing his shift in the hospital (and getting fired for being too competent), he visited his favorite declining bookstore run by a mysterious old man who called himself the ‘God’ and the shopkeeper asked if Cyrus was interested in taking over his business. Cyrus smiled and jokingly told him that he was interested. The very next day when he woke up in his room, nothing looked the same outside his window. The only familiar thing in sight was the mysterious store he had taken over, with no one in sight. So he did the only sensible thing a person in his situation could do—he took it over to try and make some money and to run his business of providing therapy to people. Even if he was sometimes helped by powers beyond his knowledge, he was not going to question it. Thankfully, someone took pity on him and decided to give him a system that allowed him to purchase items not from his current time. But little did he know that the world he was currently in had changed from the one he knew, and all the clients he was about to get acquainted with were not ordinary beings. And it would result in him creating a cult…or two…or a few filled with supernatural creatures that worship his words as god while he remained clueless. ______ A lot of drama, tension and cults. The System will show up around ch 6...7. No Harem

Her father remarried Lady Celestine Morvain, who gave birth to a daughter, Isolde, when Noctelle was only two. From that moment, Noctelle was treated as an unwanted child, abused by her stepmother and half-sister while her father remained cold and distant.       Her father sends her on a dangerous mission, to the palace of the immortal Orion Drevanox, a ruthless and merciless vampire king whose power and charm were legendary.

He cannot ignore the pull toward her, yet he refuses to fully accept it, hoping to find the witch who cursed him and free himself… and her.        Noctelle’s mission remains, but the months she has spent in Orion’s presence have changed her.

If you like Lookism, you'll want to read this. Park Jae-beom has always been invisible — and not in the cool mysterious way. He's the fat ugly kid in the broken uniform that never fits right, the one people look through instead of at, the one who eats alone and walks with his head down just to make himself smaller. Bucheon Technical High School doesn't build futures. It just confirms what everyone already decided about you the moment they saw your face. He's used to it. Doesn't mean it hurts any less. Then one night everything changes. Jay doesn't know how. Jay doesn't know why. He just knows that when he opens his eyes the next morning — nothing is the same. And the Seoul he steps into is nothing like the world that chewed him up and spat him out. New city. New life. New face. Same broken kid underneath. Some people are born with everything. Jay just woke up with it. The question is... What's it gonna cost him?

Is a villain really a villain if they fight to protect the ones they love? well for the hunters or "hero's" it is. My father was one of the first to awaken as a S class craftsman. He worked hard fighting the monster dungeons, leveling up his gamma and fighting skills with the hunter. Working himself up to the point of everyone respecting him. He wasn't always with them but instead he was with us, his family trying to keep us safe. He helped create a system for the hunters that helped them fight monster dungeons. While working on that "system" he created something else he called "project Plunko". It was “The Perfect system to level up gamma, something that's important in individuals when just awakened,” he said. Other than that, there was no more information on it that anyone knew about. The only person that knew about it was me, his only son. While he was working on it, someone found out about the project and reported it to the higher ups. They demanded my father to stop the project. Project Plunko couldn't be opened or started without its key but no one knew what it was or looked like. It was like its existence wasn’t real. Except one person that knew what the key was.

A thousand years ago, a mysterious asteroid crashed into Earth, nearly wiping out all life on the planet. However, stubborn humanity survived, gaining strange powers after being infected by a virus the asteroid carried with it—and that was not the only thing that came with the catastrophe. Abominable creatures flooded the world, and Dimensional Portals opened, bringing forth the Aberrations. In the present day, Nova Asmodai is a Seventh-level Empath who fights the Aberrations emerging from the Portals alongside his closest friends. It is a simple, yet dangerous job—one that maintains order in his country. He uses his Spectrum of Serenity—which secretly prevents him from understanding other people’s emotions—to enhance his allies’ powers. After all, he is a Support. One day, however, during a visit to a nearby city to watch battles between elite Empaths and Aberrations, Nova is thrown into a portal by a mysterious and invisible force, becoming trapped on the other side. Now, stranded in a dystopian desert filled with monsters, he must survive if he wants to make it back home. Author’s Note: The beginning of the story will be mostly introductory before the key events—up until around chapter 29—where I will introduce moments that will remain important throughout the story. This will be a long journey of over two thousand chapters. Are you ready?

Under the sterile, clinical hum of the 'God Hands' Gallery, the hollow decadence of Rich City bled into a menacing bass drone—a monolithic engine primed to devour the weak. Vera moved with the fluidity of a phantom, but the biometric smart-locks had already snared her, freezing her in her tracks. Trapped between cold marble and reinforced glass, she found herself staring into a pair of crimson retinas. They burned with the fire of lethal discipline—a man who lived by the blade and the fist, now rendered powerless by a single, jagged line of code. The air turned static as a frequency jammer shrieked to life, sealing them in a tomb of dangerous isolation. Two apex predators, now prey to the same trap, realized the bitter truth: survival was a pact written in blood. One needed a flawless physical distraction; the other, an impossible digital crack. Their negotiation was a silent language, a hidden cipher exchanged in the tense space between shoulder blades. Who will emerge from the wreckage, and what price will be paid for a mere ten-second window? Inspired by: LINE Let's Get Rich ©Netmarble Trigger Warning: Violence, Psychological Trauma, Lethal Action
