Gate Vladimir has a unique ability: The Fantasy Gene. Fueled by mysterious energy, he can transform into iconic characters from various fictional works, such as Bleach's Sosuke Aizen, the Lich King, Madara Uchiha, Artoria Pendragon, Archangel, Ainz Ooal Gown, and Deathwing.

Fen is an adopted child who receives very little attention. His adoptive father is none other than Lord Atreas, the most influential man in the world. On the day of his primary school graduation, Atreas recruits him into a military academy with the excuse of fulfilling the wishes of his biological family. ​In the academy, Fen will discover a world full of energy and mystical powers. He will make friends and live through adventures. But he will also begin to recover the memories he lost at age five, when a blow almost killed him and erased everything he knew about his past. ​Fen doesn't just want to help his friends and his country. He wants to know who he was before losing his memory. He wants to find his brother, the only one of his family who is still alive. ​But the closer he gets to the truth, the more he feels something dark awakening inside him. A red power that he does not control, whispering among the fragments of his past. Because madness is also an inheritance, and perhaps what Fen should fear are not the enemies from the outside, but the monster he carries within.

"In a world where memories are bought and sold, can you trust the person looking back at you in the mirror?" The year is 2045. In the sprawling, neon-drenched city of Neo-Dhaka, human memories have become the ultimate currency. Through advanced neural links, people no longer just share stories—they trade the literal warmth of a first love or the thrill of a forgotten adventure. Aryan is a "Memory Surgeon," a brilliant but cynical freelancer who specializes in repairing shattered digital minds. He lives a life governed by logic and code, until he discovers a hidden encrypted drive behind a loose brick in his own apartment. Inside, he finds fragments of a life he has no record of living: a sun-drenched beach, a silver pendant, and a woman’s haunting laughter. His digital logs say he has never left the city, but his soul screams otherwise. When a cryptic message arrives mentioning a woman named Sadiya, Aryan’s world begins to unravel. He soon realizes that his own identity is a carefully constructed lie, and someone powerful is harvesting the world’s most precious memories—including his own. Now, hunted by corporate assassins and haunted by ghosts of a past he cannot remember, Aryan must dive into the deepest layers of the "Memory Bank" to find the truth. But in a city of beautiful illusions, the truth might be the most dangerous memory of all.

In an age where gold has lost its luster and wisdom itself has become curse, the world teeters between revelation and ruin. Knowledge, once the light of civilization, now devours the mind of those who dare to seek too deeply, birthing a madness that transcends reasons. Beneath the fragile veneer of reality, layers upon layers of deadly mysteries fester, ancient truths buried in time, forbidden rituals that twists the soul, and realms where death is merely a doorway. A group of friends, purely polar different origins yet bound by curiosity and fate, stumble upon truths never meant for mortal minds. As they delve deeper into the layers of existence, they awaken ancient powers buried in the bones of creation itself. Time bends. Souls fracture. The veil between worlds begins to bleed. Every revelation drags them closer to transcendence, or eternal damnation. In the twilight between sanity and salvation, where gods have gone silent and the cosmos whispers in forgotten tongues, they must ascend the path of divinity… or be consumed by The Mysteries Beyond...

A Korean-inspired dark fantasy.

Kael Ashvane is the Runeward Chapter's least-regarded initiate — a foundling with no recognized elemental root, tolerated only because his guardian Lady Magister Isara pulled the strings to keep him enrolled. His cultivation is weak. His constructs backfire. His self-styled epithet, "the Little Saint-Lord," is a joke. His body is not. Born with the Primal Vigour Constitution — an innate anomaly that generates Virilic Essence of a purity no orthodox cultivator can match — Kael is precisely what the Ars Vitae demands: a natural reservoir, inexhaustible and potent. When the Chapter's mission collapses into the undead nightmare of the Dread Mire, it is not his fire techniques that first save him. It is Selene Voss, Third Soror of the Chapter, whose Ars Vitae bond with Kael begins in coercion and quietly becomes something neither of them intended. Her Bashful Bloom constitution makes their sessions unlike anything in the cultivation manuals — and the power she channels into him makes him faster, sharper, more dangerous than his grade has any right to explain. With Ars Vitae accelerating his cultivation far beyond what his official grade suggests, Kael begins winning engagements he has no business surviving: destroying Bone Towers with siege artillery he built himself, flooding the Bone Warren to collapse an undead campaign that had broken standing armies, forcing a divine-court prince to retreat. His Primal Vigour Constitution draws something extraordinary at climax — the Dracoiling, a phenomenon that blazes dragon-veins across his flesh and marks him as something the cultivation manuals do not have a category for. -------------------------------------- The Unrooted Saint: Blood, Flesh, and the Ars Vitae is a grimdark cultivation epic about a man whose blood is coveted by gods and whose body is wanted by the women who would use it, teach him through it, and sacrifice everything for it — and what remains of that man when all memory of who he was is gone.

He was never meant to survive. A nameless boy, abandoned by the world, steps into a place where survival itself is a punishment. Wounded, starving, and alone—he fights with nothing but instinct and will. Then the system appears. Not to save him. Not to guide him. But to watch. In this world, suffering has value. Sacrifice has meaning. And those who fail to entertain… are discarded. As his body changes and something inside him begins to awaken, one truth becomes clear: He is not being trained. He is being raised. Watched. Judged. Prepared. And no matter how much he endures— It is still not enough.

Kao Dao Ji is a mighty genius of the Kao Clan. A proud featherman born after the era of Spectral Soul, burning with ambition and the desire to take revenge on humanity! His journey begins with his ascension to immortality. Wait. Why is his Tribulation so strong? Oh. ... In an unexpected turn of events, a human from earth takes over, just the moment he dies. And? He becomes the Land Spirit. With such great powers that would have made him god back on earth, yet shackled in the same position, with no possibility of advancement, and trapped as an unfavored species. Just how will he be able to thrive? ... With the synopsis cleared: This is going to be a low-paced story, with not 'cheats' (well, there will be some things, that may qualify as such. But no, System, no Rank 9 Gu from the beginning or anything like that.) I also have no intention of writing romance, or at least not of the MC. Also, as stated before the story will begin after the era of Spectral Soul. So, do not expect to see Bai Ning Bing, Fang Yuan, etcetera. Still, while most of the characters are OC, I will try my best to give them relevance, perhaps too much. Anyway, I do not intend to profit from this, and I write this purely for fun, so I am not sure how consistently I will be able to put chapters, but I'll try to at least put one every 2 weeks. But that is the bare minimum, I intend to be a bit more consistent.

This is the story about boy named Karan getting recarnatated in the time of Mahabhrata as a Karna. Biggest war at that time. Jaipur everyman's 10M crit hacks transform Karna from abandoned sutaputra to dharma's ultimate apex, respectfully honoring gods while forging legend anew. In Jaipur's chaotic Ajmer Road traffic, Karan—a die-hard Mahabharata fan grieving Karna's canon tragedy—meets a fatal truck crash. Greeted by Mahadev and Parvati's divine grace, he rejects immortality for reincarnation as Karna, armed with the Apex Dharma Amplifier: a 10 Million Times Crit system amplifying every training, boon, power, skill, and satvic deed into god-shattering supremacy, veiled from devas until his chosen hour. From Ganga's celestial milk forging Sovereign Constitution to Surya's pained paternal gaze, baby Karna crit-scales infant steps into earth-cracking titan strides within his sutaputra hearth. Village mockers shatter before arrow-forged toddlers; Dronacharya's doors yield to Parashurama's secret Vijaya bow. Draupadi's swayamvara bows to solar charm; alliances bloom—Duryodhana as unbreakable mitra, Krishna as cryptic flute-guide—while canon curses dissolve in dharma crits.

Astra. A wonderful world, bestowed upon humans by the gods as their dwelling place — a realm filled with secrets, beauty, and divine legacy. But this world was never theirs alone. Countless other species laid claim to it: orcs, dragons, elves, spirit beings, demi-gods… all seeking to rule. For 20,000 years, Astra remained under human rule — until the non-human races declared war. Consumed by greed, envy, and centuries of oppression, they rose up. Why had the gods abandoned them? They, too, longed to live freely on this earth. A few gods heard their cries — and so began the rebellion. Once united, the peoples of Astra turned against one another. A great war erupted. Allies became enemies, and ancient ideals were forgotten. As the gods reveled in the chaos, a turning point came. A group of deities, weary of destruction, formed an Assembly to restore balance. Among them, one god offered a sacred prayer — calling forth chosen souls, guided by his divine power, to bring back peace and harmony. He was the God of Hope. Through the swirling chaos of existence, four individuals arrived in Zephyrios, the divine land. From that moment, a long journey began — to save Astra, to uncover forgotten truths, and to confront a world where conflicting ideologies and ambitions are destined to collide.

Ava Sinclair has won a prize. She is to be escorted across the known half of the world by a ranger, a rover, and an inspector of the Department of Lost and Found. What should have been an ecological survey meant to broaden her understanding instead exposes the systems that decide what is protected, what is exploited, and what is quietly erased.

The first two rules of resonant ecology are simple: Watch your step. Watch who is watching your step.

The city burned exactly as he planned. Not a moment too early. Not a second too late. To the world, he is nothing more than a criminal, a disposable piece used to clean up dangerous “instances” no one dares to question. His memories erased. His purpose decided for him. That’s what they made him. What they took from him… is something else. Abandoned without answers. Used without consent. Controlled without knowing why. Somewhere beneath the silence forced onto him, something kept building. Not madness. Something colder. Because the truth isn’t just hidden from the public. It’s buried so deep that even those searching for it are chasing lies. But lies leave cracks. And he’s starting to see them. The city he burned wasn’t an act of destruction. It was retaliation. A message. And if the truth really is buried beneath everything… Then he won’t hesitate to burn through the rest of the world to reach it just for his satisfaction

#Read the Prologue and Chapter 0!!! [CONTENT WARNING: This work is intended for an adult audience (18+). Contains explicit sexual content, visceral violence, amorality, and dark psychological dynamics.] MAIN TAGS: #DualCultivation #Smut #DarkFantasy #Yandere #Harem #OverpoweredProtagonist #Violence #ObsessiveRomance #WorldBuilding SYNOPSIS: In a forgotten mortal village, an orphan carries in his eyes a wisdom that does not belong to this world. Beside him, his childhood wife guards a love so deep and twisted it borders on obsession. When the rhythm of the universe reveals itself to Zhì Yuǎn, the couple discovers that transcendence is not achieved by meditating atop a solitary mountain. Their path is paved with Dual Cultivation. As his overwhelming Yang and her pure Yin intertwine, they forge a method of their own and break the chains of the mortal world. What begins as a quiet, claustrophobic refuge in a bamboo grove soon transforms into an unrelenting climb toward divinity. When Zhì Yuǎn awakens a Singularity—an infinite inner universe, eternally hungry for energy and the Laws of reality—his wife Yù Qíng’s body reaches its limit. Driven by a sickening devotion, she decides that if she cannot sate her “god’s” hunger alone, she herself will corrupt the world—starting with her own sister—to forge the perfect vessels for him. To fill an empty universe, morality is the first sacrifice. --- WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS WORK (SPOILER): · Dual Cultivation as a Magic System: The explicit content (Smut) is not mere fan service. Sex, lust, pain, and physical exhaustion are the backbone of the magical progression. Visceral intimacy is the only way to withstand the overwhelming energy of the Universe’s Laws. · The Yandere’s Evolution: Yù Qíng is not a conventional heroine. Her absolute devotion to her husband creates a completely distorted moral compass. The introduction of the harem does not happen by chance or through betrayal; it is actively orchestrated and manipulated by the wife herself to “feed” her husband. · Unfathomable and OP Protagonist: Zhì Yuǎn possesses an absurd conceptual advantage. Though the story begins contained, the scale of his power soon reaches levels where he is treated as an untouchable deity by the mortals around him. · Dark Fantasy and Raw Violence: When the trinity (the god‑husband, the priestess‑wife, and the executioner‑sister‑in‑law) clashes with the outside world, expect brutal resolutions. Bones are shattered, the arrogant are publicly humiliated, and blood paints the path. · Increasing Pace (Slow Burn Initially): The first ~30 chapters build the world and the relationship in a closed, intimate fashion, like a cocoon, before the true hunger of the inner universe shatters the walls and thrusts the characters into the vastness of the mortal world—and, in the future, the Immortal World. ---
