A Dark comedic action Novel where the Protagonist is a superhero who knows he is inside a novel trying to survive in a world where being a superhero means a death sentence

Twenty years ago, the skies split open. Storms raged, lightning scarred the earth, and crimson portals tore reality apart. From them came the Beasts of Tartarus—creatures born of bloodlust and destruction. Humanity teetered on the edge of extinction, until a miracle occurred: people began awakening supernatural abilities. For a brief moment, survival seemed possible. Then came the knight—a warrior of unmatched power, humanity’s last beacon of hope. But salvation twisted into despair when he betrayed mankind, plunging the world into an age of chaos.

Follow him make his decision to follow the path of darkness or light.

Voices that should not exist have begun to speak. A woman is reborn from an ancient painting, singing of a love sealed away for centuries. A man turns the resentment of a living sacrifice into destruction that consumes his own people. A god offers a final prayer to keep a demon bound— and never answers again. A soul awakens inside a machine, asking questions no machine should ask. Something from beyond this world arrives on Earth, not to interfere, but to observe. And I hear them. This is not a single story. It is a record. A series of encounters that appear unrelated, taking place within ordinary lives and familiar spaces. Each one alters my understanding of life, death, and the boundary between them. I record these events not to explain them, but because pretending they do not exist is no longer possible.

What happens when your past memories start to unfold and you start questioning your existence. Something similar happened with Nero. The Archive has never made mistakes. It records every confirmed moment of history, every stable branch of time, every reality humanity has been allowed to remember. Within its endless halls of servers and steel, nothing is lost—nothing is forgotten. At least, that’s what Nero Vale believed. A junior archivist living a quiet, predictable life, Nero has spent years cataloguing fragments of broken timelines, safely removed from the events they record. His world is built on routine, logic, and the comforting certainty that the past cannot reach back. But one night, the Archive breaks its own rules. A record appears that should not exist. A classification without meaning. A name that should never have been stored. And suddenly, the machine designed to observe time begins to observe him. As unexplained anomalies ripple through the Archive, Nero finds himself at the center of something the system cannot define—something that responds to his presence, reacts to his thoughts, and grows stronger each time he tries to understand it. The more he searches for answers, the more reality begins to behave as though it remembers him… differently. Guided—and watched—by Helia Krusate, an analyst who knows far more than she admits, Nero is forced to confront the possibility that the Archive is not merely a passive observer of history, but a living structure with its own memory, intent, and secrets buried beneath layers of recorded truth. In a place where timelines fracture silently and identities can be rewritten without warning, Nero must question everything he knows about existence, causality, and the nature of self. Because some records are not meant to be uncovered. And some lives were never meant to exist. As the boundary between data and reality begins to blur, one question echoes through the endless halls of the Archive: What happens when the past refuses to stay recorded—and starts looking back?

Disclaimer : THETA-9 does not seek to please. It's not made for easy reading.

A race to the Zenith. The dream of Supremacy. Some call the path never-ending. Those that walk it a slave to the idea of absoluteness. Zareck see's it as his destiny.

From the beginning, immortals and mortals have been sundered from each other. Immortals have mastered their Tama, wielding their true power; holding domain over mortals. Mortals, meanwhile, still see Tama in the form of intricate jewels of various shapes, failing to bring out their true strength; also, they are slaves to death —and the immortals. Over the years, some immortals, who have been labelled as Yotram, have come to the Earth to stop mortals from being immortal. In their eyes, they see humanity as a food source, slaves and means of entertainment. After waiting for the Villain Rehabilitator to disappear, the Yotram thought that they would expunge all of LIFE's creations on Earth. However, their actions ended up creating individuals who seek to be immortal. The first, goes by the name of Lucien Derniere Étoile. Growing up, his life was a play in the eyes of certain individuals. Moreover, a flesh eating spirit was placed in his mother's body, so that they would watch him suffer. After killing his mother, as the only way to save her, Lucien voyages himself across the world for revenge. Also, being immortal is the best way for him to succeed. The second, goes by the name of Ten. As someone born on the rotten side of humanity, Ten never desired much in life. However, his thirst for knowledge brought him to the power of Entropy, which happens to be the weakness of all immortals. Guided by his curious mind, Ten continues to master the power inside him, drawing him closer and closer to becoming immortal. Although Lucien and Ten have different goes, they are bound by interest at first. Nonetheless, as they move, their bond grows, calling others to them. Also, they have to do everything in their power to stop the undying Yotram that stand in their way.

{ SLOW BURN DARK HUMOUR } Daiki expected a normal school day. The same streets, same classroom, and same routine. That ended horribly. His classmates disappeared. Sirens filled the city. By nightfall, he returned to a home covered in blood. His family was gone, and the damage left behind was not something a human could have done. He survived. That turned out to be a mistake. Death passed over him... Not once, but repeatedly. What followed was captivity and experimentation. His body was pushed past its limits, his choices taken away, and an ability was forced into him, one that never turned off, no matter how much it hurt. Eventually, they executed him. He woke up again. After surviving death too many times, Daiki stopped knowing what he was meant to be. Now, given a chance at a new life in another world, he wants only one thing: to live quietly, avoid attention, and stay out of trouble. But his past refuses to stay buried, and the power bound to him has never been silent. Author’s Note: I won’t ask you to trust me, just read ten chapters and see if you can stop.

In a vast world where fate and destiny played endless games, mortals were born unequal. Some entered life blessed with sacred constitutions; others were shackled by weakness. To be born was already a gamble against the heavens. Yet among these countless destinies, one tale began. Silent. Fragile. Ignored. A song fated to tear open the skies and force the heavens to listen.

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

No record mentions his birth. No prophecy dares to explain his existence. A boy named Vicky awakens in a world that never recorded him—his past erased, his power sealed by chains capable of tearing planets apart. With every breath he takes, gods feel pain and demons tremble, as if reality itself remembers a mistake it tried to forget. Bound, watched, and feared by beings far beyond humanity, Vicky walks forward without knowing who he truly is—or why even heaven and hell react to his presence. This is not a story about becoming a god. This is the story of the one existence itself tried to erase.

When the world is chosen by an unknown higher system, nations are forced into Battlefields—not of simple strength, but of history, morality, and consequence. Each country must send a representative to face trials that reshape timelines, rewrite wars, and decide the future of humanity itself. At the center of this storm stands Harshanand, an ordinary young man from India—physically no stronger than a normal human, yet burdened with an extraordinary responsibility. Unlike others who rely on brute force, Harshanand survives through strategy, ethics, and foresight. His greatest weapon is not power—but the courage to choose humanity over domination. As global Battlefields escalate from territorial conflicts to conditional historical trials, the stakes rise beyond survival. Russia is sent back to prevent the collapse of the USSR. China must avert a catastrophic famine. America faces an ethical industrial collapse. Some nations win. Some fail. All are judged. Then comes the impossible: India receives the first-ever Double S-Plus Ranked Battlefield. The condition is absolute—prevent World War II from ever happening. No armies. No destructive powers. No direct violence. Only diplomacy, psychology, sacrifice, and choices that affect the entire world.

Yang Zheyu,a fearless mafia boss ruled the underworld with unquestionable authority. Most people who had somehow offended him always ended up in his basement ,none of them surviving. It was even a taboo for ordinary men to mention his full name as it would land you in trouble. But what will happen when the invincible mafia boss ended up in someone else's basement, furthermore a college student? A little daredevil that likes to push his buttons. A boy who has been obsessed with him for three years.                              ***** "I'm not into guys. No matter what you do I won't give you what you want,"Yang Zheyu asserted, feeling annoyed. He had been thinking about his empire and going back to it so he wasn't exactly in a good mood. "You'll definitely eat your words after I unleash my next move,"the boy replied with a cheeky grin,"Anyway ,have some water first,"he said raising a glass of water to the mafia boss' lips. Yang Zheyu rarely consumed anything given by strangers till he was kidnapped and right now water was a necessity. He gulped down the colourless liquid soothing his dry throat but the cooling effect was soon replaced by something else. The temperature suddenly shifted or rather skyrocketed.He felt a sudden hotness in the usually cold room,his body began perspiring,his member twitched in arousal,his pants tightening— common symptoms that most likely pointed to one thing. "You drugged me!" He snapped in realization and the boy let out an evil chuckle. "Mr Yang,what do you think of my move?" Nice Ruizhi asked,a sly smirk adorning his beautiful countenance, "You can't resist me now , can you?" He added lips stretching into a cheeky grin.
