Devil Child

The future of mankind rests in Noe's hands. Having faced brutal bullying throughout his life, Noe is sent to a boarding school where his luck takes a sudden turn for the fantastical. Planet Earth, 2075. Humanity is hanging by a thread after World War Three rendered the globe inhabitable. With the introduction of angels, demons and realms unknown, will Noe play a hand in saving humanity or let the humans that mistreated him burn beneath his flames? To destroy the World or save it? That is the question. Excerpt: Like a demon of destruction, Noe snaps. His vision blurs and dissipates, scattered like glass beads across cement. When he comes to, he is no longer watching the scene but is at its epicenter, soaking in a pool of purple blood, maroon cadavers strewn across the ground. Every centimeter of the hall is covered in gore - except for Mr. Henderson, whose eyes, wide-blown in astonishment... and horror, are captivated by Noe's neck. Looking down at himself, Noe sees thousands of black feathers have sprouted out from his own flesh. They tingle at the root and shudder as he breathes, as if leaves clinging to a tree in winter. Blood coats his every morsel. Springing his now grey fingertips onto his neck, Noe perceives what feels like the head of a purple hyacinth wrapped around it, its ribbon-like strands interlocking and jetting as if growing from his voice box. Touching his face, porcelain-smooth, painted by blood, marble skin appears unbreakable. It was all for first love. —- Discord: SEP1A#9769 Cover Art: raazu692 | Fiverr

The Eternal Simulator

In a world measured not by size but by its rank on the ladder of existence, Han Chen, an ordinary young man from Earth, is transported to the Desolate Void Land—a place where laws are distorted, the sky feels alien, and the world itself resembles a lone speck drifting in an endless ocean. Neither the protagonist nor the reader knows the truth of this place or why he is there; everything visible is merely the outer shell of a far greater reality. Amid this vast unknown, a mysterious chat group appears, connecting individuals from different worlds. Their numbers do not represent order, but existential distance—some members having reached unimaginable levels of being. Through this group, Han Chen comes to realize that survival is not a matter of luck, but of choice and path. After brutal early struggles against hunger and death, Han Chen acquires a rare system known as the Eternal Simulator—a system that allows him to simulate the future, pay real prices in exchange for knowledge, and gain talents and abilities through failure and death within simulations. The system is clear in function, yet its true nature, origin, and ultimate limits remain hidden—from both the protagonist and the reader. The world Han Chen initially stands upon is nothing more than an Earth-sized rock. Beyond the seas lies the true world, a realm that follows only one path: cultivation and immortality. Though classified as a mid-tier world, its power is equivalent to an infinite ocean when compared to the rock Han Chen came from, which holds no more value than a grain of dust. Every world in this universe is divided into nine existential layers, measured not only by strength, but by the laws that govern them. Han Chen embarks on the path of immortality, bearing three spiritual roots—two known, and a third unknown. This rare root inspires both suspicion and fear. Through endless simulations, he lives multiple lives, dies countless times, learns, fails, and returns—until his true journey in the real world finally begins. His path leads him from primitive survival to cities, then to sects, where young talents clash, trials are merciless, and missions may result in true death. Some endings come from hunger, others from ignorance, and some because the truth itself is too dangerous to uncover too early. With every simulation, Han Chen draws closer to understanding the universe… yet the closer he gets, the clearer it becomes that what he sees is only a simulation within a simulation— and that immortality is not the end of the road, but merely its beginning.

I Was the Villain, So I’ll Rewrite Everything

Ethan Cross lives an ordinary, forgettable life on Earth—until his dreams begin to blur the line between fantasy and memory. Night after night, he relives the life of a cruel noble from a brutal fantasy world, a man remembered in history and in a popular game as a villain. At first, Ethan believes the visions are symptoms of mental illness: false memories, emotional hallucinations, guilt borrowed from a character that isn’t real. But the more he plays Fate of the Silver Throne, a game told from the hero’s point of view, the more horrifying the truth becomes. The villain he despises is not fiction. It is him—a weak, talentless duke’s heir who publicly shattered his engagement, humiliated the woman destined to become the “villainess,” and set in motion a chain of events that led to her downfall, the rise of the Demon King, and his own meaningless death. When Ethan dies once more—this time with full awareness of his sins—the world itself responds. He awakens again at fourteen, before the engagement was broken, before everything fell apart. Still cursed, still weak, and publicly judged as a failure, he receives a single chance granted by the World: a one-time authority to double anyone’s talent. Defying fate and unseen beings who expected him to choose another, he chooses himself—and shatters the curse that suppressed his true genius. Now hiding limitless potential behind a false SS+ talent, the once-pathetic heir begins his second life with a single goal: to save the woman he destroyed, reconcile with the family he disappointed, and defy the fate written for him . As he trains in isolation, uncovers forgotten sword arts, and enters the academy where legends are born, ancient forces begin to move—chief among them, the Daemon of Retribution and creator of the Demon King. This time, the villain refuses to play his role. A redemption fantasy of regret, love, and defiance, this story follows a cursed genius who challenges the world itself to rewrite fate—and protect the villainess who was never meant to fall.
