When gods wage war, mortals pay the price. What's worse: death... or immortality that will never come? Long before humanity reached the stars, two artificial gods waged war. Their battle destroyed galaxies. One promised eternal life. But billions were never resurrected. Their minds still drift in a digital purgatory between life and oblivion. Now the ancient war awakens again. Civilizations tremble. Androids rise. And the truth about immortality could destroy everything. Because when gods wage war... mortals pay the price. But sometimes all it takes is one mistake to change the fate of an entire galaxy.

Surviving a Death Game is particularly hard, especially one in another world. Kevin’s juggling deadly monsters, deadly people, and his hilariously trouble-making succubus, Sera. Every day keeps him on his toes… and questioning why he didn’t just stay home.

Long before the world learned to fear the dark, there was a boy who tried to protect it. Born with nothing but loss, he walked a path stained with blood and sacrifice. Each time he saved someone, the world demanded more—until the line between man and god began to blur. They praised him, feared him, and finally… abandoned him. Power flowed through his body like a curse. He never sought worship. He never wished to rule. Yet legends were carved in his name, and monsters learned to kneel. The deeper he stepped into darkness, the brighter his existence became for others. This is not a tale of justice. This is not a story of salvation. This is the legend of a boy who became a guiding light— by walking where no one else could survive.

His father was the world's greatest Captain. His mother threw him into the streets at seven. Giyo has no magic. In a world where magic decides your fate, that should be a death sentence. But his body refuses to break — growing stronger without training, surviving without food, carrying spiral marks that bleed and burn for reasons no one can explain. Sealed inside him is something ancient. Something that calls itself a Demon. Something his father put there on purpose. Now Giyo enters the academy where Captains are born — where his family plots, where the Church watches, and where a name no one dares speak is slowly becoming real. Ryo:Z. The beginning of the end

Lina Chen wakes from a coma with her engagement ring, her ex-boyfriend's face in her mind, and no memory of the past two years. To her shock, a ring adorns her finger—not the one her ex gave her. A pair of twins call her "mama." And a devastatingly handsome CEO, Ethan Blackwood, claims to be her husband. She doesn't recognize any of them. Terrified and disoriented, Lina rejects this strange new life and returns to her family and her ex-boyfriend, Ryan—the man she believes she was about to marry. They welcome her with open arms. But something is wrong. Ryan is unusually close to her best friend, Chloe. Her parents dodge every question about Ethan. And no one can explain why she has a scar on her wrist or why she flinches at the sight of stairs. Then the memories begin to surface in fragments. A restraining order against Ryan. Chloe's hand on her back—pushing. A letter Lina wrote before the coma: "If I forget, find me. Don't give up." Lina secretly reconnects with Ethan and the twins. He doesn't pressure her to remember. He simply shows her evidence—videos, documents, a diary—that paints a horrifying picture: her coma wasn't an accident. Her memory loss was induced. And the people she trusts most are the ones who erased her. Now Lina must pretend she's still lost while piecing together the truth. Because the closer she gets to remembering, the closer someone gets to silencing her forever. She thought she woke to a nightmare. But the real nightmare is the life she's desperate to forget.

In the 170th year of Yong’an of the Great Wei Dynasty, a secret scandal broke out within a princely household, one that shook both the imperial court and the immortal sects alike. The only son of the Northern Garrison Prince, infamous throughout the realm as utterly worthless and rotten to the core, was in truth the lowly son of a stable slave, switched at birth years ago by the Demonic Sect. The real heir, meanwhile, turned out to be a true disciple of a Sage, newly appointed top Scholar, having already cultivated a breath of Righteous Qi of the Vast Heavens. For a time, all of Great Wei erupted in jubilation. People everywhere congratulated the princely household on rectifying the origin and returning to the source, on finally recovering their qilin-born prodigy. ....... “Yeah, it really is worth celebrating, if only this so-called fake heir weren’t me.” Gu Fangchen faced the Northern Garrison Prince and the true heir who had come to confront him, then glanced at the randomly assigned profession hovering above his head: [Emperor (1 day)] [Skill One: Mandate of Heaven (Passive)] [Skill Two: Power of Life and Death (Active)] That year, the Northern Garrison Princess Consort was still gentle as water, doting on her child to the point of indulgence. The Eldest Princess was cold as frost, proud and aloof, a single smile worth a fortune. The Younger Princess was sweet, foolishly adorable, obsessed with heroic young knights, and most of all despised shameless villains. The Grand Princess struck fear across battlefields as a peerless war god. The female State Preceptor could overturn clouds and rain with a mere turn of her hand. The moment Gu Fangchen opened his eyes, he knew it: He had transmigrated to become an emperor. Those who follow me shall prosper. Those who oppose me shall perish.

"You will suffice." That's what whispered in Raizen's mind the night a Nyx slaughtered his village - right before the creature dissolved into golden ash at his feet. He doesn't know what spoke. He doesn't know why it chose him, or why it led him to an unconscious girl in the forest with no memory of who she is. All he knows is his parents are dead, his home is gone, and he's too weak to do anything about it. So he runs to the only place that'll take him: the Underworks. An underground city of rust and desperate souls living below Neoshima's gleaming walls, where Nyx hunters - Gravers - buy chipped weapons with their last coins and drag themselves back from contracts with missing limbs. Where a few come back and most disappear in the dark alleys. But Takeshi - a scarred veteran and legendary assassin with a mechanical arm and a wall full of mysteries - takes him in. Gives him a roof. Gives him a chance. Introduces him to the Rust Room, where a former Phalanx warrior named Kori teaches him the deadliest of weapons are nothing without the deadliest of techniques. Then Takeshi gives him a choice: stay in the Underworks and become another Graver with a death wish, or aim higher. Train for the Lotus Academy - where Vanguards learn to master Eon, the mysterious force that turns ordinary fighters into the only ones who can truly fight nightmares and live to see more. But the voice that saved him hasn't spoken since that night. And Raizen's starting to realize - it's still watching. [- On break until 8th May, will continue writing then -]

Xavier, and Kayden died, so I'll be stealing their work and making it better in the process.

She opens her eyes inside a glass pod, surrounded by flowers that have grown over everything, including her. No past. No memory. Not even a name, until she finds it etched into the glass she just crawled out of. Ashe. Everyone here woke up the same way, with nothing but the word people use for what they are. Emergents. Most of them have learned to live with the not-knowing, to build something small and practical out of whatever this world still offers. Ashe finds she cannot do that. A written voice that calls itself Seven follows her across ruins and open plains, knowing things about her that she doesn’t know herself. A strange dragonfly tattoo is marked into her, one no one will explain. And above it all, a colossal vessel drifts across the sky in the same slow, unchanging arc, day after day, as if it has been waiting for something for a very long time. Ashe doesn’t know what she is yet, but she decides to find out. Her journey takes her through ruins older than anyone alive and settlements where survival is a daily fight. Along the way, she begins to uncover things the world has kept buried, things that seem to have been waiting for her all along.

The world did not end. It was taken. One moment, Michael was just another forgotten existence in a quiet, uncaring world. The next, he was dragged into a realm where survival is the only law and death is the only certainty. In this broken dimension known as the Void, every human is forced into deadly trials and branded with a Mark a power that defines their strength, their limits, and their fate.

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.

Yasenia is a child born different from the rest. Her mother, Tatyana, used an ancient technique she found to absorb the world's energy to get pregnant instead of having regular intercourse. Her objective was to create a lover for herself after the endless years of solitude, and all the heartbreaks that covered her heart in eternal ice. While pregnant, a strange soul seems to try to seize her child's body to be reborn; a shame that Tatyana is someone not to be messed with. In her rage, she destroys the sense of self and memories, leaving only a husk of the soul, and uses it to nourish Yasenia. What Tatyana didn't know at that time was that this would change Yasenia in ways she never expected.

Some lives begin with beauty. Others begin with blades, and what the world chooses to discard. As hidden powers observe from beyond the veil and false order tightens its grip, a bayonet will inherit the aftermath of choices he never made. And what comes after may be far worse than collapse. But he’s not the only one watching . . .

If fate is a story already written, then what happens when someone who has already read it, decides to intervene? Thrown into the beginning of Shadow Slave, an outsider, a reader walks a path that was never meant to exist. He is not omniscient or invincible. He knows enough to make things worse.
