mystery

Ervin was an ordinary man from [REDACTED], stuck in a job he hated and spending all of his free time gaming. One day, while talking with [REDACTED] in a voice chat, he vented about how dissatisfied he was with his life. The next thing he knew, he woke up in what could only be described as a cliché Korean gang manhwa world. But something doesn't seem right, Ervin isn't inhabiting his body anymore, instead he has become some kind of "spirit". His "real body" is actually just an avatar detached from his consciousness. It can move independently, think well enough to carry out complex tasks, and flawlessly execute any command given by Ervin's main consciousness(just like a, drum roll please, a video game character!). ============================ This novel may go a bit crazy, but i hope ya'll like crazy haha! Inspired by Lookism, Reality Quest, a bunch other Korean works and Baki, yes, BAKI. For Power System everyone will have their own flavour of fighting styles, but with a little more flavour to them. Imagine Sanji's Fire Kicks, or Gaia's leaf knifes. First 4 chapters are for explanation basically, story really starts at chapter 5, ============= Story will also be Uploaded on Royalroad, Since royalroad staff asked me to specify! :]

“Doing the wrong thing for the right reason… never ends well for anyone.” Seven great races ruled the continent of Eldarion. Humans weren’t among them. To the world, mankind was nothing more than background noise, as insignificant as a breath of air, as laughable as a failed joke of creation. A race with no promise. No power. No future. Tyler was born into that world—a world where every “hero of humanity” was fated to fall before they could rise. So he abandoned the path of heroes entirely. He chose the road stained in shadows. He chose the power no sane soul would touch. He chose to become a demon— not for glory, but for survival. His purpose was simple: Ascend to become the strongest of the demons. Stand as a monstrous shield when the true invaders finally tear into their continent. And he succeeded. He rose higher, darker, and stronger than any being before him. But power has a price. A price he only understood when it was far too late. For in climbing toward salvation, He became the very abomination he once swore to destroy— The Desecrator. And the world whispered: “There is no lesser or greater evil. There is only evil.” Yet a more profound truth lingered in the dark: “Because sometimes, only one Evil can devour another.” *** Discord - https://discord.gg/nQEBsk3ZGX *** #Yandere_MC #Complex_Characters #No_Harem #Dark #Rare_Bloodline #Magic #Slowburn #Fated_Love #Demons #Dragons #Otherworlders #Runic_Sorcery #Evil_FL

The stars are beacons in the sky; they burn ever so bright, illuminating the universe. But with light there must come darkness. The world may seem like a beautiful place shrouded in brilliant light, filled with love and prosperity. But beneath that beauty, there is blood; beneath that light, there is darkness; and beneath that love, there is pain. The central world is known as Clara Astrum, a realm of adventure and mystery. A world full of marvellous sights, towering mountains, and vast oceans. A world where dreams were held, and legends were created. But that was not where I was born. I was born in the world below, the one known as Mortuus Lux, the world of decay. There was no light, no stars; all we had was the flickering heart. I suffered like the rest, I fought to survive, and I evolved by devouring my brothers and sisters. There is no such thing as companionship here, only one's own strength. The weak perish while the strong delay the inevitable. I embrace my demise because with death, I will be free. I embrace life because with every encounter, I shed a thread of weakness. My name is Luna, a demon born in Mortuus Lux, raised in blood and war, and burdened with my own destined death.

Two hundred and fifty years ago, the apocalypse descended and with it the Game Origin Ascension Domain. Over a night, people transformed, some suddenly grew wings, some started producing lightning, some moved faster than a train and some forming flames that could melt a mountain. These people became known as Players. In today's society, Players dictate everything. Your entire worth is tied to your mana affinity and the Origin Talent you awaken upon your first time entering the Domain. ---- Caelus Kross. He was a transmigrator stuck at the absolute bottom of the barrel with an E-Rank mana affinity and a seriously terrible reputation. He was once known as the pathetic lap dog of a woman who treated his heart like a dirty welcome mat. Honestly, settling down as a magical construction worker seemed like his peak career path. However, the universe had a much stranger plan. Everything changed on the day he awakened. He did not get a glowing sword or a fancy fireball. He got a talent that allowed him to extract literally anything.

In a dark, supernatural Victorian world, a young transmigrant will search for a way to survive.

Ryo Kenzaki was good at being invisible. Just another high schooler, keeping his head down and waiting for each day to end. Then a star fell from the sky. When Ryo pulls a dying woman from the crater it leaves behind, he learns the world he knows is already breaking. Beyond it lies the Hunting Realm—a place where monsters are born from fallen Hunters, and something is beginning to push through. Hunted by a creature he cannot understand, Ryo is dragged to a sanctuary between worlds and forced into a choice that was never really his: take up a Kizugami, a living blade forged from wounds, or die before dawn. But the blade doesn’t obey. It judges. As the weapon begins to search his soul, Ryo is pulled into a war he never asked to join—one shadowed by an impossible Eye in the sky, a relentless Kaimon on his trail, and an ending that may already have been decided. Ryo never wanted to be a Hunter. But if becoming one is the only way to protect what remains, he’ll have to answer a far more dangerous question: When the world strips everything from him, can he still stand as himself once more?

[A depressed boy clings to a game and its doomed action protagonist for his life until the game's world becomes reality and he embarks a determined journey to change protagonist's ending that the boy strongly rejects.] Johann had already given up on reality long before it began to collapse. The only thing that kept him going was a game, The Mayhem, and its silent, unstoppable protagonist: the Hellraider. Then the game became real. Monsters, death, and destruction—everything unfolded exactly as he remembered. But Johann didn’t enter this world to survive. He came for one reason: to follow Hellraider… and change the ending that should have never happened. Yet the more he walks that path, the more the world begins to break away from what he knows. Events shift. Truths contradict. And the figure he once believed he understood refuses to be defined by anything, not even the story itself. In a world where even fate is unstable, Johann continues forward, even when he no longer knows what he is chasing. *The entire story is completed. New chapter will be published regularly.*
