Arthur Moreau vanished during a live broadcast. No warning. No transition. No last words. One moment he was finishing a world event in front of four hundred thousand viewers. The next, he was gone, and what arrived somewhere else was Gepetto: his character, his creation, the most feared Marionettist ever built in a game where power was the only language that mattered. The world that caught him is not new to collapse. Empires have risen, fractured, and vanished long before his arrival. Gods have existed, and some of them have died. What stands now is only the latest arrangement in a cycle that has never needed him. But something has changed. Players have begun to appear. Not as heroes. Not as chosen figures. As variables carrying power without understanding the system they have entered. The world does not pause for them. It absorbs them, bends around them, and moves forward. Gepetto does not try to fight it. He studies it. While others assert themselves through force, faith, or conquest, he builds something quieter. Not an army. Not a kingdom. A structure. Invisible at first. Distributed. Patient. A web that does not need to be seen to function. The skills are real now. The strings are real. And what they touch does not reset. House of Puppets aspires to deliver what the greatest fantasy novels have always delivered: moral complexity, narrative weight, a world that lives and breathes and reacts. It does this in the webnovel form, built daily, with the same structural ambition as any novel meant to be taken seriously. It is a story about control, belief, and the cost of acting in a world indifferent to your intentions. It follows a man who does not seek to win, but to understand the rules well enough that losing becomes unlikely. Because the puppeteer pulls the strings. But in a world this old, someone is always watching.

As Lucian fights, disrupts, and survives these battles, he discovers the cost of sacrifice, the strength of his heritage, and the resilience needed to forge his own path. Frost Wanderer is an epic tale of adventure, survival, and self-discovery. It is a story about the courage to follow your own journey, even when the world drags you into its wars.

Crossing over into the world of Harry Potter, Adrian Wesson has no grand ambitions.

A: "Have you ever watched Bleach?" B: "Of course. You mean Ichigo? He's a rare long-running protagonist whose character design never changed—always sticking to his path of protection..." A: "No, I'm talking about the story of the Spirit King Tyrant Ichigo, who used his 'Reishi Madman's Fist' to pummel the world and pin the powerhouses of the Three Worlds to the ground, utterly humiliating them."

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. You survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self-made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies through every kind of conceivable catastrophe. ———————— I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

He had thought he had finally reached peace. But when faced with a disaster he could not comprehend, Oren realized it was not peace waiting for him, but death. In desperation, he pulled on his anchor, escaping certain death. The anchor did not return him "home," nor did it grant him safety. Instead, it dragged him downward and cast him into a cursed world. He fell from the clouds and crashed into a lone house on the distant outskirts of a great city. He survived but at a cost. Cursed by the very world he had trespassed upon, Oren awakened there as something he had never been before. Stripped of what he once was, he was forced to walk the world and flourish as something painfully fragile, slowly reclaiming what had been taken from him.

Kai Voss died on a normal Monday. Then he woke up with a broken power: he can steal the final “Echo” from dying people — their skills, memories, and even pieces of their personality. One Echo turns him into a rich snob who demands fancy wine. The next makes him roar like a street fighter and punch through walls. With every steal, Kai gets stronger… but he also becomes someone else. Now the sky is cracking, ancient gods are waking up, and strange powers are spreading across the world. Kai teams up with Lira, the serious girl who sees fate, and Mira, the crazy collector who treats Echoes like trading cards. Fast fights. Funny personality swaps. Epic power-ups. Will Kai become the strongest by stealing more Echoes… or will he lose himself completely and turn into everyone except Kai? Echo Thief — Die. Steal. Change. Repeat.

Knowledge is said to bring prosperity. But what if it arrives too late to matter? Dhalik has always understood things quickly—patterns, answers, outcomes. Not guessed. Not learned. Understood. But understanding alone isn’t enough. Because every time it matters— every decision, every moment, every opportunity— he’s just slightly out of sync. Always correct. Always late. As his world expands beyond school into systems of pressure, money, and unseen structures moving beneath everyday life, Dhalik begins to notice something deeper: The world doesn’t reward knowledge. It rewards timing. And timing is not stable. From controlled losses in trading to environments that demand action before certainty, he is forced into a reality where thinking too long becomes failure—and acting too soon carries consequences he doesn’t yet understand. Somewhere beyond it all, forces are already watching. Not for intelligence. But for alignment. Because knowledge—true knowledge, ILM—doesn’t just reveal truth. It changes when truth can be used. And once that shift begins— there is no returning to the moment you missed. Genre:Realistic Fiction / Psychological Progression.

He didn't mean to summon a goddess. He was just picking a champion. When an ordinary young man from Earth clicks Janna during champion select, he doesn't expect to wake up in a cramped rented room in the city of Zaun — inside the body of a dead factory apprentice. He doesn't expect the real Janna, an ancient wind goddess, to materialize in front of him, furious and bound to his will by a cosmic summon she cannot break. And he definitely doesn't expect her to fit in his shirt pocket. This is Levi's new life. Twenty-four hours a day on his feet. Twelve-hour shifts soldering circuit boards for pennies. Chem-gas thick enough to chew. A landlord who charges rent on a room barely big enough to turn around in. And now, a thumb-sized goddess who despises him perched on his shoulder, quietly seething. The previous Levi left behind nothing but debt — loan sharks, gang threats, and a brilliant younger sister named Lina struggling to keep her scholarship at the prestigious University of Piltover while the world reminds her every day that she was born on the wrong side of the canal. The new Levi has something the old one didn't: knowledge. Memories of an entire world's worth of history, philosophy, and ideas that this world has never seen. He puts them to work — not with a sword, not with magic, but with words. A single historical essay, written quietly by lamplight after a factory shift, begins to move through Piltover like a current. It reaches a disillusioned genius professor. It reaches a sheltered heiress who can read minds but has never once touched real life. It reaches every Zaunite student who has ever been told to be grateful for the scraps they're given. Meanwhile, the goddess he's supposedly enslaved is starting to wonder whether her "Summoner" is a villain, a revolutionary, or simply the most annoying person she has ever been forced to share a pocket with.

Born in the shadow of the legendary No. 10 — Lionel, Lamii grows up carrying a strange burden whispered among scouts and coaches alike: “The curse of the No. 10" Every prodigy who dares chase that number breaks… or disappears.

As Lamii struggles with doubt, pressure, and the terrifying legacy of his idol, one question haunts him every time he touches the ball: Is he destined to inherit No. 10… or be destroyed by it?

There are secrets the world chose to forget. Darian just stumbled upon one. Raised on stories of heroes and sacrifice, he dreamed of a clear path: climbing the ranks of the Adventurer's Guild, exploring dungeons, and making a name for himself among the Empire's finest. But the world is bigger, darker, and far more complicated than any book ever taught him. The history everyone knows, the one carved into statues and told in every village, might not be the real history.

Dungeons that hide more than treasure. Truths buried for centuries. And an adventure that's only just begun. Do you dare to discover it alongside Darian?

Hello everyone, I am a young man who loves anime, manga, and light novels. My goal is to be able to tell my story in the same style as light novels. Stories such as: ‘Sword Art Online’, ‘86 - Eighty-Six’, ‘No Game No Life’, ‘Classroom of the Elite’, ‘Il monologo della Speziale’, etc. I hope to live up to these expectations and that you enjoy reading the story. A story where humans live in a city in the center of nothingness called Luminis. Their mission has always been to fight against the Demon King's creatures under God's command in the lands beyond Luminis' borders. In reality, it's all a fiction. A girl, friend of the protagonist Nakato Toruchi, follows her instinct and hopes to understand what lies beyond that city called Luminis, but she never returns. She leaves only Nakato. He now wants to know what happened to her and what his world hides.
