{69K words before locked] Fifty years ago, a shower of meteors descended from the skies. With them came a strange, colorful mist that wiped out ten percent of humanity and changed the world forever. Ten years later, the real nightmare began. From beyond the stars came the Abberants — massive, intelligent, ape-like creatures standing over nine meters tall. Stronger, faster, technologically superior, they declared themselves the rightful rulers of Earth and plunged humanity into a war it never asked for. On the brink of extinction, humanity survived only because of one miracle. Meta-Humans. Humans who awakened extraordinary abilities and pushed the Abberants back. Some shared their powers to protect mankind. Others hoarded them, turning strength into bloodline privilege. Ray Dawson was never one of them. At least, not at first. Just a boy with an ordinary life, working in secret to save enough money to buy an ability book and change his fate — without his mother ever knowing. The day his dream was supposed to come true, everything was taken from him. An Abberant attack left Ray with nothing but rage, grief, and a shattered future. Sent to a brutal survival camp meant to forge soldiers, Ray’s life should have ended quietly like countless others. Instead, an accident changed everything. ...

Fawkes fell out of the sky over Little Whinging, half-dead, and chose Harry Potter instead of going home. His fire went straight for the piece of Voldemort that had lived in Harry's scar since he was a baby, and burned it out. What it left behind were five memories: a ring, a cup, a crown, a diary, and a locket in a cave full of dead things. Now Voldemort is ill, frightened, and convinced he's been robbed. The Ministry wants Harry expelled. And Dumbledore, who still thinks part of Voldemort is inside Harry, won't look at him at all. Harry could prove him wrong. But the only way to explain how he knows is to hand the phoenix, the fire and the memories to the one man who'd take the whole thing out of his hands. So Harry keeps quiet and starts hunting, two years early. Nobody has asked yet what Fawkes was running from. ============ This novel has been posted on Webnovel, Scribblehub & RoyalRoad.

Traveling to a world where ghost stories and abnormal creatures are rampant, Serie not only becomes a beautiful, fragile, and sickly girl like a porcelain doll, but is also taken in by the salvation organization as an S-level abnormal creature and imprisoned in a steel fortress in the deep sea. But Serie didn't care, because she found that as long as she closed her eyes, those witches condensed by fear, desire and power would open their demon eyes on the other side of the world. They were walking taboos and also puppets dancing on Serie's fingertips. Each witch has a completely different form and ability. Complete tasks, light up the skill tree, and continuously upgrade and evolve. Beautiful and powerful S-class witches appeared one after another like mushrooms after rain—— "The Witch of Pleasure plunges New York into a lewd abyss?" "The Dread Devourer ate the Golden Gate Bridge clean?" "The Slaughter Witch rules the battlefield, weaving nightmares for her enemies with threads of blood?" "The ruling witch made the organization's top executives betray her and become her loyal servants?" Alarms on the radio sounded one after another, and the employees were talking about Serie's trumpet, some with fear, some with admiration, and some with vigilance, but they would never know that the culprit of all this was that useless and cute girl who was tied with chains and restraints and did nothing every day except act coquettishly and wait for food. Serie said nothing, just buried her face in the pillow and continued to play the simulation game: "Let's open a new account... I want to try a different evolution path this time."

In my teens, college wasn’t supposed to be dangerous---It was supposed to be boring. To pay rent and earn pocket money, I started solving small cases in the neighborhood. Missing phones. Strange incidents. Secrets people were desperate to bury. No police. No paperwork. Just fear---and cash. No ghosts---No gods---No curses. At least, that’s what I believed—until my college mate showed up asking for help. What begins as a routine investigation pulls me into a hidden world of mystics, forbidden rituals, and Indian taboos so old they’re whispered instead of written. Mantras spoken only in fear. Rules you’re not meant to question—let alone break. Some secrets don’t want to be touched. Some cases don’t want to be solved. Some cases shouldn’t be taken at all. I took the case anyway. That’s my first mistake.

In a world of gears, sorcery, and ambition, will he finally rise above his failures—or will history repeat itself?

In ages past when hope was spent and low, All creation stood bound within its quiet repose. Then did Reality tremble from a boundless might, And the earth quaked across the starless night. A star descended from the vast beyond, And bound reality in grief's most tragic bond. It stole the future in its greedy plight, Yet wept in secret at the ruined sight. With painted smiles it played a gentle part, And strove to heal each broken, wounded heart. Yet the star never found the words to seek amends, The answer on the tip of its tongue which it couldn't transcend. Its guilt endured, a weight upon its boundless soul, Awaiting forgiveness from the broken world. Wherefore to him whose destiny it had reft, It turned to mend the soul that it had left. The Bereft was lost, struggling with his blight, Yet the star became his new, endearing light. Until at last the end drew near, And to eternity the star must steer. In passing through the void it set things right, Returning the future it had plight. No soul recalled the star from then on, Save for the Bereft… whose longing was not gone.

They called the Abyss a place where even gods disappeared. Across kingdoms and ruined lands, hunters chase whispers of an unknown existence tied to vanishings, distortions, and something darker than death itself. Meanwhile, a silent traveler walks alone through the world with no memory of who he truly is. He does not know why animals avoid him. Why the forest grows quiet around him. Why people feel something wrong before he even speaks. And he does not know the most terrifying truth of all— The being the world fears may already be walking among them. As strange forces begin noticing his existence, reality itself starts reacting in ways it cannot explain. Hunters close in. Ancient powers awaken. And somewhere beyond the edges of the known world, something waits for him to remember. But the human body he walks in is only a vessel. And if what sleeps inside it fully awakens— the world may not survive it. Nihilfire Reborn: God on a Vessel — A dark atmospheric fantasy about identity, restrained destruction, and a presence the world was never meant to contain.

Beneath a blood-red moon, a lone samurai fights a battle that seems destined to end in tragedy. As his comrades fall and darkness consumes the battlefield, one final clash leaves everything uncertain. But what if the end of one story is only the beginning of another? Far from the horrors of war, a young warrior stands at the beginning of a journey he cannot yet understand. With little more than determination and a world of possibilities before him, he must discover what it truly means to wield a sword—and what it means to protect the people who matter most. In a world shaped by ancient magic, powerful warriors, mysterious creatures, and forgotten secrets, every friendship carries meaning, every choice has consequences, and not every enemy is what they seem. As bonds are forged and dangers emerge, fragments of something unsettling linger at the edges of his understanding. A crimson moon. A battlefield. A darkness that refuses to be forgotten. And somewhere beyond the horizon, a fate waiting to be challenged.

When most people retire, they help raise grandkids, babysit, or go square dancing. But when Pei Ye retires, she spends her money raising virtual characters. Before spending: "Trash game. They're not even trying with these cash grabs." After spending: "Amazing! I can splurge AND grind!" Raising virtual characters, you see, can nurture the soul and add a little color to an otherwise dull retirement. And if you raise them well, not only do you build a bond with them, you might even… well…

Xin Huohuo is very unlucky; she accidentally brought home two freeloaders, and they're even seriously picky eaters. What's the use of being handsome! Can you pay with your face? Can you use it for mobile pay? What's more, she also attracted a sinister character, along with a long trail of ghosts. A black-bellied, money-loving girl + a goofy, violent guy + a stone-faced, sharp-tongued guy; the shady dealings of these three rascals. Eighth Lord: (Mysteriously) "Life and death are all gifts from life itself..." Seventh Lord: (Impatiently) "What does that mean? I don't understand plain talk!" A certain Lord: (With a deadpan face) "Everyone, go to hell! Hmm, the girl stays." Xin Huohuo: (About to cry) "This is the ultimate meaning of 'the early worm gets eaten by the bird'!"
