{NEW CHAPTERS ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY} He was once the most powerful mortal to ever walk his world—an emperor forged by war, feared by kings, and betrayed by his own blood. Ronald Reagan dreamed of peace. To unite all kingdoms under one banner. But his vision was seen as tyranny, and his own adopted brother ended his reign with a blade to the heart. That should have been the end. But the gods had other plans. Summoned by a mysterious goddess to a parallel world on the brink of collapse, Ronald is reborn into the body of Roman Crowell—the overlooked, "weak" youngest son of a powerful duke in a kingdom ruled by fear, pride, and tradition. With his past life’s knowledge and the burden of his unfinished dream, Roman must rise again in a world that sees him as nothing. The fallen angels walk among mortals, whispering ruin into the hearts of men. Kingdoms crumble. War is coming. But Roman won’t just fight to survive. He’ll carve his name into the bones of empires. Before the gods fall, before the worlds burn, the end will kneel to its heir.

And the ones pulling the strings have been playing this game far longer than anyone knows.

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 Discord Server: https://discord.gg/c34nURr72W P.S.

Thinking about the number of things that could happen instead, made her feel even more guilty for not listening to the advice of never wandering off alone. Now, she is homesick with extreme pressure of trying to grow strong, surpressing her from different direction. A normal fifteen years-old schoolgirl, comes across an opportunity to escape the hateful life she was leading. But the question is, was it really worst compared to the new life she was living? The competition grants her the things she wanted, but did it not have her pay the price for her choice? But of course, her reply would be, "I just accidentally joined it. It's no big deal compared to Earth." They are told that the worlds are all just novels they had read back at Earth, but if it were really true, why are certain things not matching with what seemed to be true in the novel compared to its world? As reckless she was, she got summoned into a different dimension where it was clearly uncertain whether she would ever be able to return back to Earth, to her previous life. But the more she got closer to Earth, the more the route got covered in blades. Turns out, the only way back, is to sacrifice the things that made her happy, and go on harsh adventures across the entire universe, while suffering threats from powerful enemies coming from the competition. (Author's note: I plan on making things more emotionally intense in the future.)

She finds something she loved today, only to wake up with an unreliable memory of yesterday. As she searches for answers, she slowly discovers that the world she knows may not be as ordinary as she believed.

The story begins. Ian thought he was just a little wizard with a small talent [cheat ability], who could become stronger through hard work. However... As the story unfolds, he gradually starts to realize that the teachers he’s been following to learn magic are either once-renowned powerhouses or characters mentioned in various legendary tales. “Standing before you is the noble apostle of the Shifting Illusions, the common spokesperson of the Old Ones, and the designated successor of the founders of Hogwarts!” “What? The noseless freak wants to stir up trouble? He must not have heard of my original spells, which are even recorded on the famous wizard collection cards in Chocolate Frogs!” “The Dumbledore Summoning Charm!” “The Dumbledore Berserk Charm!” Ian chants the "Expecto Patronum" spell. Suddenly, silver-white threads burst forth and converge, forming the figure that had caused a certain professor to live his entire life trapped in guilt, standing protectively in front of him.

In the frostbitten North, a boy with a emerald eyes walks a path shaped by war, silence, and something darker beneath the snow. Twelve-year-old Viktor is not a hero...yet. Raised in isolation by a quiet warrior with strange powers, he learns to read more than just books: the cold, the silence, and the weight of decisions. When invaders take the northern stronghold, Viktor is pulled into a quiet war-one fought not by armies, but by shadows. Infiltration's. Puppets without souls. A city that smiles while it rots from within. Guided by Kaavi, his mentor, and joined by a group of deadly yet disciplined fighters, Viktor’s journey begins with a mission to reclaim what has already been lost.

This is a slow-burning tale of subtle powers, moral choices, and survival behind enemy lines. A grounded fantasy of quiet tension, gradual growth, and the cost of control. * New Chapters Every Saturday*

He was once a name whispered in terror. A Demon King no army could challenge. No god could judge. No fate could bind. But he didn’t fall in battle. He walked away. Immortality became dull. Victory became predictable. The world stopped pushing back. And for someone who was born to conquer limits… boredom was the only true enemy left. So Anos chose death. Reborn as a human in a fragile, uncertain world, he expects weakness, struggle—maybe even humility. Instead, something else awakens. A system woven from hearts, fate, and supremacy. A power that doesn’t just measure strength… it measures influence, dominance, connection, desire. The universe is watching. And somewhere in the silence between worlds, a former god of destruction begins carving a new path—one not toward simple conquest… but toward something higher. Beyond heroes. Beyond destiny. Beyond the very laws that once defined him. This isn’t a story about redemption. It’s about evolution. From Demon King… To something the cosmos itself may not be ready for. ---------- Daily updates — 2 chapters every day. Give it 20 chapters before you decide to drop it. Let the foundation build.

Julian D’Aurelius was never meant to live. In this world, villains exist for one reason—to fall. They scheme, they rise, they steal the spotlight… and then they die. Betrayed. Abandoned. Erased so the hero can shine. Julian knows this. Because he remembers every timeline. Every backstab waiting in the dark. Every “loyal” ally destined to sell him out. Every romance scripted to end in blood. The moment he awakens inside the body of the story’s doomed antagonist, he’s bound to the hidden Tyrant System—a cold, calculating force that demands one thing: If villains always die… then become the kind of villain fate cannot kill. So Julian reshapes himself. Cruel when necessary. Charming when useful. Untouchable when it matters. He plays the monster perfectly—while secretly tearing apart the threads of destiny from the shadows. But here’s the problem. The more he tries to distance himself from the female leads… The more they drift toward him. The innocent campus beauty. The sharp-tongued heiress. The aloof genius meant to stand beside the hero. One by one, the women who were supposed to orbit the protagonist begin circling Julian instead. And there’s something even more dangerous— All of them can hear his inner voice. Every cold calculation. Every sarcastic thought. Every hidden plan. All heroines hears it all. But Julian has no idea. This is an urban-fantasy battlefield of ambition, romance, power games, and fate rewritten. The protagonist is trying to avoid the heroines. The heroines? They’re slowly falling anyway. And the more Julian resists destiny… The more destiny seems obsessed with him. -------------- Daily Updates – 2 Chapters Every Day Don’t judge this story too early.
