"Ahh… my resurrection worked." After a thousand years, Salazar Slytherin awakens in the body of a young wizard and slips back into Hogwarts under a false name. What he finds horrifies him. Pure-blood families boasting ancient lineage? Half of them are descended from Muggle lovers or Muggle-borns. His so-called "heir" — a madman in a snake mask — is twisting his name into a banner of terror. Powerful curses and forgotten arts have vanished, replaced by flashy spells and wizards too weak to survive a real duel. The Founder of Slytherin is back… and he’s not here to watch his legacy rot. He will reclaim it. He will fix it. And heaven help anyone who stands in his way. #Relaxing #SliceofLife ○( ＾皿＾)っSupport and read 12 Chapters ahead of here at- Patreon.com/HornyFBI ________ Author/Editor: This is a new take on Slytherin like someone would feel after suddenly going to the future as he lived in ancient times.

"Die Mentally Rise Physically Rampage Eternally a thirst for Undying Combat" # SUPERNATURAL RAMPAGER **6077.** Fifteen-year-old **Kevin Leister** has spent his life afraid of everything—death, monsters, other people, and especially the strange visions that haunt his dreams. Then the **Mythical Matrix** chooses him. Instead of dying, Kevin awakens as something the world was never meant to create: **The Supernatural Rampager.** A living weapon fueled by a mysterious cosmic force that can turn fear into destruction. But Kevin soon discovers that his transformation is only the beginning. His best friend **Wyatt Freeman** stands beside him. **Peter Shotstock**, a foul-mouthed and battle-hardened ex-soldier, knows more about the supernatural than he admits. And **Nathan Moya**, a cunning illusionist capable of making perception itself betray its victim, may be hiding the darkest secret of them all. Together, they are dragged into a war against beings that refuse to die. Because humanity's powers were never miracles. They were **fragments**. Eons ago, an ancient cosmic Pillar known only as **The Shattering** broke apart, scattering countless **Glimmer Shards** across the universe. When the fragments reached Earth, they awakened something buried inside humanity: **The Glimmer Gene.** A dormant genetic anomaly capable of transforming trauma, instinct, personality, and even biology into supernatural abilities. A hot-headed man might awaken hellfire. A paranoid mind might create illusions that become real. A dying soldier might evolve a body that refuses death. And some people... **don't evolve normally.** They mutate. They become **Wrathborn/Extraordinaries Will Kevin choose to Become a monster and defeat the Undying. Or embrace the Rampage… …and become something far worse than either.

"This is a world-first story. The history is the story. Stay with it." The world has ended before. Not in myth. Not in metaphor. It ended completely — gods unmade reality reaching for something they were never meant to hold, and existence corrected itself the only way it knows how. It took fifty thousand years to forget. Another hundred thousand to rebuild. It is about to happen again. This is not one story. It is many — stitched together across millennia, told through the eyes of those who lived inside a world that carries its own wounds forward. A nameless being waking in a summoning circle, learning what it means to exist. A woman who hesitated when she should have fought, and traded a year of her life for knowledge that is quietly unmaking her. A girl in an apothecary being handed a promise she doesn't yet understand. They do not know each other. Not exactly. But the world remembers. It always remembers. Stay long enough and you will see how the threads connect — how every choice echoes, how every name given in love becomes a weight carried forward, how the pattern emerging beneath the history is not a mystery to be solved but a wound that never fully closed. Knowledge is the weapon. History is the scar. And somewhere in the silence between chapters — You will realize you already care.

Stormlaks...A city where wealth is law, ambition sharpens like a blade, and danger hides behind every gilded corner. Every glance carries weight. Every whisper shifts power. Every student harbors a secret that could unravel lives. "S.I.L..." Did I just mention that? Whispers in slow silent but audible voice, "STORMLAKS INSTITUTE OF LUXURY" Yes, I did. I repeated the words in my mind, tasting their weight. Every Stormlakian has spoken the name at least once, in awe, in envy, or in fear. It is known for one thing or the other. S.I.L is the most coveted school in the city, a place where elegance masked danger, legacy ruled over all, and a misstep could cost more than pride. It could cost lives. Every young person dreamed of walking its polished halls, of being counted among the elite. But what happens when our Cinderella becomes one of the chosen? Getting in should have been the dream. It should have felt like victory. But for her, it was only the beginning. Her quiet presence drew attention in ways she did not understand. Eyes lingered where they had no right to, whispers followed her through hallways like shadows, and even the untouchable, the feared, the impossible. THE MANIACS, two different people could not look away. Then she arrived, Not from Stormlaks city. She came from a city that her parents controlled, a city powerful enough to bend entire regions to their will. Her steps were deliberate, her posture commanding, her gaze unflinching. She moved as if she already owned S.I.L, as if the halls themselves had bent to her presence. Every step shifted the balance, every glance rewrote the rules, every subtle gesture demanded attention without uttering a word. And beneath the polished exterior burned a carefully concealed hatred for our Cinderella, a reason known only to her. Stormlaks held more than rivalry. Beneath the luxury, the glittering parties, and the polished marble floors, lay a secret too dangerous to name. A shadow without a face, slipping through lives unnoticed, moving through different shadows and whispers. A girl with a hidden identity, masked, elusive, and shrouded in secrets that holds the key to everything. Her existence a puzzle that no one could solve. She wore a life that was not hers and she is untouchable. And when the truth finally emerged, nothing would survive it at all. Why are the Maniacs hunting her? Why has it taken years to find her? Why does she hide behind a mask that is not her own? And what will happen when she's found and the truth is finally revealed? Too much of question marks but it all comes down to......WHO IS SHE???

CARDIAC 65: Infinite Realms _jons.ynd One storm changed everything. On a night when the heavens themselves waged war above a sprawling metropolis, a lone young man challenged the skies in silent defiance. Marked as one of **Gaia's Children**—a bloodline despised by the celestial powers—he becomes the target of an impossible judgment. Struck by a mysterious crystalline force from beyond the heavens, his body is torn apart by divine lightning before vanishing through a portal of living light. He should have died. Instead, he awakens in a world unlike his own. With no memories of his past and a strange wound in his chest that pulses with an unknown energy, he finds himself rescued by a mysterious red-haired operative whose appearance is as dangerous as the futuristic city she calls home. As ruthless corporations, hidden laboratories, and powerful organizations begin hunting him, it becomes clear that his arrival was no accident. The crystal embedded within his heart has made him something humanity has never seen. Known only as subject **Cardiac 65**, he is the key to a force capable of connecting countless realities—an ancient power that can reshape worlds or erase them entirely. But every realm he enters carries its own secrets, monsters, forgotten civilizations, and gods who would rather see him dead than discover the truth of his existence. As fragments of his lost memories begin to surface, so does a terrifying revelation: The heavens did not try to kill him... They were trying to stop something from awakening. Now hunted across infinite worlds, subject C.65 and the woman who saved him must uncover the mystery behind the crystal, survive enemies from every reality, and confront a destiny that threatens not just one universe—but the entire Infinite Realms. **Some doors should never be opened, they must stay closed** **His heart is the key.**

Original Synopsis : This world is filled with those who wield impressive powers. “Gifts" or "abilities" as one could call it. Flame manipulation, future sight, strength beyond what should be possible. In this world, a person without such powers are considered quite unfortunate. But this is merely one aspect of life that can’t be controlled. Health, attractiveness, intelligence, all of it is similarly unequaled amongst people. And well, that’s simply too bad. Without an “ability” of his own, Lucks had long realized that the world was pretty amazing. ______ Newer Synopsis - Since Lucks is not the protagonist anymore, he's but merely a main character now. Augustine reaches a whole new world of which she's never experienced. In fact, she can not remember what she has. In doing so, she finds a group of odd martial artists, and ends up as Lucks newest student! In navigating this new world of strength and power, she discovers her self.

She pulled him from the ocean before he even knew she existed. Celestia Yve Virellis has spent two hundred years watching the surface world from below. Curious, cautious, and completely unprepared for the moment a dying soldier falls into her ocean and refuses to leave her mind. Dylan Pierce has survived wars, monsters, and the end of civilization. He has never once been afraid of dying. Until her. But the world Yve surfaced into is nothing like the one she studied from the depths. Humanity is almost gone. The dead walk. And something far older and more dangerous than shriekers is reorganizing in the shadows, something that has been waiting for exactly this moment of human vulnerability. Chronicles of the Realms is not a story about magic. It's a story about a civilization so vast it spans galaxies. About a love so inconvenient it might just fracture the universe. And it starts with a girl who watched a stranger sleep on a dock and thought — I wonder how that feels.
