F*ck the town & screw the nobles, Mother Dungeon has all I need! What do I get after finally graduating as a chef's apprentice? After a decade of tutoring and adoption by my father figure and greatest mentor? Why of course, I’m framed for his death just days later! Forced into a rigged trial and stripped of all rights as a first-class citizen. All I know is that some noble scum wants me dead, forcing me back to the ghost towns under criminal rule. Or... I can make the dumbest decision of my life. I become a crawler! To pass my days helplessly scrounging through a deadly dungeon. A wonderfully grimy job fulfilled by only the most unwanted members of society. Will I die as fodder for a monster outbreak, one of the sacrificial masses to keep monsters from escaping to the outside world? Or will I hit it big by discovering a stash of gold and magical artifacts, becoming a nameless target of assassination by the people already in power? But wait! There’s MORE?! None of that matters! Why didn't anyone tell me that the rarest herbs grew down here? And why are they running away from that Bloody Boar? Wouldn't it make the most succulent, savory bacon!? I'm never leaving the dungeon! Wyverns, ligers, and bears ain't got shit on the monsters lurking in human society! F*ck keeping the arrogant city and that greedy castle safe. I'm too busy compiling my Dungeon Cookbook, how to efficiently gather and best prepare the most exotic and flavorful ingredients known to man. With a knife in my hand and a pot on my fire, I, Gartin Ramsey, will reap the fruits of Mother Dungeon to live my best life! *** Join the Discord! *** https://discord.gg/akzn9SM5k9

A religion that worships the First Flame. A religion that prays the Veil. A religion that kneels to The Unheard One. The Halocrats were born to oppress. The Gutterborns were oppressed before being born. The Rifts opened on the horizon and mercy was forgotten. Riftborns became a lump in the throats of Humanity. The weak were crushed. Then the Golden Slab slammed on the chest of Dwarkam. Power was bestowed upon those who caressed the Slab. Zane Atlas was one of them. A Gutterborn with no future and no voice, Zane lives at the bottom of a world that teaches him one lesson every day: Filth shouldn’t look up. But the Slab chose differently. It turned him into a Myth Carrier. Without knowing what he carried. In a world built on worship, extinct bloodlines, crowned lineage, and monsters that feast without restraint… Zane became host to something this world was never meant to hold.

In the heart of Delhi, two of India’s most powerful families—the Sharmas and the Yadavs—stand as pillars of influence, intelligence, and legacy. At their helm is General Raghav Sharma, head of all three armed forces, and his formidable wife, Upasana, a world-renowned journalist. Their children, each gifted in strength, intellect, or diplomacy, live under the shadow of greatness, yet one boy’s destiny will eclipse them all. Mukul Sharma, the youngest, appears to be an ordinary five-year-old—but the stars have marked him for greatness. A prophecy by the legendary astrologer Acharya Raghunandan Sharma foretells seven marriages, unimaginable trials, and a journey that will shape the world. When a brutal attack during a medical conference in China separates Mukul from his family, the stage is set for a saga of power, love, and destiny that spans continents. From the corridors of political power to the hidden world of global mercenaries led by his own brother Anand, Mukul’s journey will uncover secrets, forge alliances, and test the bonds of family. As he grows, every choice, every challenge, and every battle brings him closer to becoming the central figure in a story written in the stars. “The Sharma Legacy” is a tale of courage, strategy, and destiny—a story where a boy destined for greatness must rise, unite, and confront the forces that threaten not just his family, but the world itself.

In a world where truths are buried deeper than corpses, a child was found without a past— without a true name— left at the doorstep of a family that never lets anyone remain untainted. Gilbert Klein— a young man who chose, by his own hand, to sign a contract with a woman seen only as a shadow looming over thrones. A contract that demanded only one thing from him: to search for his true self— no matter how many bonds or souls that path would shatter. Yet with every step closer to the truth, something else is taken from him— something he cannot even name. On the other side stands Raymond Baskerville— the sole survivor of a night the Empire erased from its records. Haunted by dreams more honest than his waking reality, he is repeatedly guided by a presence that refuses to leave him— a figure bearing features no human should possess. When fate draws them both into the gates of Regin High Academy, their paths intertwine in a way that denies coincidence. Both seek the past. Both carry an incomplete truth. And both walk a road from which there is no return. Because when the truth finally reveals itself, it does not restore what was lost— it claims what still remains. Will they endure destinies written long before their births? Or will the academy become the last place their paths cross before one of them disappears— or both?

Becoming My Dream Pharmacist! - A Chance To Relive Modern Life - Book Description There are moments in life when the sky seems too far away to touch, when the distance between who you are and who you wanted to become stretches out like an endless winter night. Akio Hukitaske understood this distance all too well. At thirty-two, he had become a ghost haunting his own existence, a game designer lost in Tokyo's luminous sprawl, where neon signs painted false promises across rain-slicked streets and convenience store lights hummed their lonely lullabies until dawn. The deadlines came and went like seasons he'd stopped noticing. Hollowness had carved hollows into his heart that he'd learned to ignore, the way you ignore a distant ache that never quite fades. Somewhere along the way, between the caffeine crashes and the blue glow of countless computer screens, he had misplaced something precious: the dream of a kid who once believed he could heal the world's pain, one prescription at a time. That child wanted to become a pharmacist. That kid believed in hope. But dreams, like distant stars, grow dimmer when you stop looking up. Then came that night—the kind of night where snow falls silently over the city, blanketing everything in a strange, suspended peace. Drunk and stumbling through an alley beneath that endless winter sky, Akio encountered something impossible: a stranger with eyes too calm, too knowing. Before understanding could catch up with fear, there was the cold stab of a needle against his neck, and then, Darkness. When Akio opened his eyes again, the world had shifted on its axis. His hands were smaller. His room wore the familiar-unfamiliar face of a childhood he'd left behind. The mirror reflected a truth that shouldn't exist: the face of a fourteen-year-old kid staring back with thirty-two years of exhaustion behind his eyes. A mad scientist's experiment. An impossible regression. A second chance wrapped in the bewildering gift of youth restored. Now Akio must walk again through the halls that once witnessed his slow surrender, armed only with the weight of everything he's learned and lost. Every classroom whispers with ghosts of choices unmade. Every friendship carries the shadow of knowledge he shouldn't possess—the adult grief of an adult trapped in a body too young to hold it all. The pressure of expectations, the cruelty of adolescence, the suffocating routine of a society built on exhaustion—it's all here, waiting to break him again. But this time, something is different. Among the ordinary chaos of teenage life, Akio finds himself surrounded by people who refuse to let him disappear. Together, they become the constellation that guides him back toward something he'd forgotten existed—not the erasure of past wounds, but the courage to carry them forward. The understanding that healing isn't about becoming someone new; it's about learning to forgive the person you were. Becoming My Dream Pharmacist! is a story about the quiet weight of regret and the trembling possibility of redemption. It exists in the spaces between realism and surrealism, where modern life's crushing despair collides with the impossible second chance Akio holds onto. And sometimes, if you're given a chance to try again, that's enough to make the sky feel within reach once more. RATED: MA15+

"Magic is not a miracle. It is a language. And you are pronouncing it wrong." I incarnated into this frail human vessel for a simple purpose: Observation. ​It was a miscalculation. ​I woke up in a dystopia where "Mages" have forgotten the true nature of power. They treat the 70 Names of the Creation like blunt instruments. They are stuck in the Circle of Concepts, drawing shapes in the dirt, unaware that the Sphere of Gods even exist. ​Now, I am trapped in a mortal body that burns calories like a furnace every time I speak a Truth. ​The Magic: While they struggle with simple shapes, I calculate with infinite precision. I don't cast spells; I define reality. ​The Progression: The world has lost the path to the Sphere of Gods. I am the only one who remembers the way back up. ​The Burden: I accidentally acquired a traumatized child soldier as my "Luggage." I keep him around solely because he is the only thing that soothes my divine headache. ​Armed with nothing but a cheap suit, a fountain pen, and a perfect understanding of the world, I am going to teach them a lesson. ​"The Universe was built on 70 Names. You only remember 69."

On a secluded island teeming with rare and mystical animals, the Straw Hat crew stumbles upon a secret unlike any they have ever imagined. Deep within the forest, hidden behind thick vines and ancient trees, resides a being of unimaginable beauty and power—a goddess whose very presence bends the world around her. With flowing hair like the sea, skin as white as snow, and eyes that hold the depth of buried treasures, she appears both innocent and divine. Yet beneath her serene exterior lies a terrifying truth: she is a living embodiment of the legendary power of Charybdis capable of summoning the ocean itself into a force of destruction. Her song, sweet and otherworldly, lures hearts into peace while masking the storm she commands. As Nami, Luffy, and Zoro confront this otherworldly presence, they are torn between awe and fear.
