On the planet Nevera, in a world shaped by centuries of technological advancement and conflict, one family has remained unshaken. The Piao family stands at the center of it all, guarding a legacy passed down through generations. At the heart of that legacy is the World Tree. More than a symbol, it is a living archive. It holds the recorded lives of the Piao bloodline, along with generations of accumulated knowledge, research, and innovation—knowledge drawn from the diaries of those who came before, powerful enough to reshape the world itself. At the center of this legacy stands Angela Piao. Unlike her sisters, Grace Piao, the head of the family, and Angel Piao, who commands its military power, Angela has lived a sheltered life, immersed in technology and far removed from the responsibilities of her bloodline. But that distance cannot last. The outside world is closing in. As pressure rises to access the World Tree and the knowledge it contains, the Piao family faces a turning point they have avoided for generations. For the first time, their control is no longer absolute. And the decision falls to Angela. Not because she wants it. But because she must. Beyond the family’s walls, people like Kael Everwyn, tied to the Piao bloodline yet raised far from it, reveal a truth the family can no longer ignore. Their influence has already spread beyond their control. And the world has begun to notice. It is watching. Waiting. Demanding answers. Caught between preservation and change, secrecy and exposure, Angela must decide whether the World Tree remains protected… or becomes something the entire world can claim. To make that choice, she turns to the past. Through the records within the World Tree, Angela traces the path that led her family here, searching for an answer hidden in history— one that may reveal the truth behind the Tree itself.

Atiya Pharasa, when he first isekai'd to Celeste, was called the Killer of Fate and was adopted into a powerful family. He had a mother who gave him everything — basically spoon-feeding him. However, things changed when he awakened his yaicraft. It was a space-based yaicraft, and to progress in it, vast mathematical knowledge was a must. Further, while coding a skill, he almost dissected himself and survived only by a miracle. However, some things happened and he gets isekai'd again to another world, where he was perceived as nothing more than a pig to be fattened up before being sacrificed at the altar. He was stripped of all privileges and imprisoned with his premature powers. What could he do other than accept his fate? ...Wait. He doesn't have fate. And more importantly — what was his plan? "Unfortunately for you all, I have also awakened a Sin while awakening my yaicraft. The Sin of Murder." "I can't help it, can I. I'll just kill everything that stands in my way back home." ***** What to expect: *Tactical fights *Consistent power system. *Worldbuilding. *Vast side characters. *Weak to Strong. *Local protagonist. *Tragedy. *Lores I am a fan of Berserk and Nasuverse, so be aware of the elements present there. I intend to fully make this dark and lore heavy like them. I will kill off even the protagonist if at one point, his death would serve a great positive shift in the story.

Jinn Bazaar: Old Dhaka Uprising is an action‑packed urban fantasy set in the heart of Dhaka, where every prayer has a price and every backstreet might hide a doorway to another world.

Samael Ashbourne has spent his life in isolation, deep in the mountains alongside his grandfather—a former warrior who turned his back on the world after a tragedy no one dares to speak of. Even far from civilization, Samael's raw talent could not be hidden. Born with an immense reserve of spiritual energy and an extraordinary gift for magic, he was, by any measure, a prodigy. But talent means nothing when the world decides to break you. Everything changed the day a powerful enemy emerged from the shadows. Samael survived—barely—thanks to his grandfather's intervention. But the cost was absolute. His spiritual energy core was destroyed, severed forever from the source of all magic. In a world where power defines a person's worth, losing spiritual energy is not just a defeat. It is an annihilation. Overnight, Samael went from being a boy destined for greatness to a ghost—useless, powerless, forgotten. But his story did not end there. Forced to rebuild himself from nothing, Samael turned to the only thing still within his reach: his own body. Through relentless training, through pain and silence, he carved a new kind of strength—one born not of magic, but of will. Yet strength alone is never enough. Hunted by those who wish to erase every trace of his existence—and every hope of his happiness—Samael embarks on a dangerous journey across the world alongside his grandfather. Together, they walk through lands of both breathtaking beauty and unspeakable cruelty, facing beasts, memories, and the ghosts of the past. Because when the ashes fall, not everyone dies. Some are reborn.

She was their greatest warrior. They threw her away like she was nothing. Sage Blackwood spent six years bleeding for the Crimson Howl Pack. She trained their fighters. Defended their borders. Buried their dead. And when she uncovered a corruption that went all the way to the Alpha's throne, they repaid her loyalty with silver chains and a death sentence. She escaped with broken ribs, silver-burned wrists, and a wolf so poisoned it could barely breathe. They left her in the Deadlands to die. She didn't die. Found by a mysterious Alpha named Rhett - a wolf with no pack and a past he refuses to speak about - Sage begins to heal. But Rhett isn't the only Alpha drawn to her. Three others emerge from the shadows, each one powerful, each one dangerous, and each one triggering a mate bond that should be impossible. Rhett. The protector with gentle hands and a blood debt that could destroy them all. Kieran. The exiled prince whose brilliant mind sees her as a political weapon - until his wolf decides she's something far more. Zion. The feral Alpha who has never submitted to anyone - until he laid at her feet and bared his throat. Dorian. The shadow operative who knows her secrets better than she does. Because he's been watching her for years. Four Alphas. Four bonds. One ancient prophecy that says a wolf like Sage - a Quintessence - hasn't walked the earth in five hundred years. She can bond with all of them. She can forge a pack powerful enough to shake the foundations of the werewolf world. But Crimson Howl wants her dead. Kieran's ruthless mother wants her controlled. And a darkness older than the packs themselves is waking up - drawn by the scent of a power that was never supposed to exist again. Sage didn't survive the chains and the silver and the fall to be someone's weapon. She survived to be a queen. She just has to live long enough to claim her crown.

He files the paperwork. He is no hero. No king. He runs an inn.

The multiverse is wide beyond imagination, countless universes and realms with unique laws and environments. Yet even among the myriad races, there exist those pinnacle few. Mythical beings and sovereign creatures of such power that the sheer weight of their Existence sends ripples throughout not just space and time, but Fate, Karma even...the Brown.  Of course no race is truly insignificant, as even from those unblessed by the hands/ probuscises/ appendages/ etc that forged them hail champions whose legends are such that none dare take them lightly. The Dread Ziriothrax, The Twister of Time and...Vigilante-Man to name a few. Yet this is not a tale of such beings. This is a tale of a species so bizarre it exceeds multiversal minimum sanity standards to the nth degree. A species so shunned even Evolution herself disowned them. This is the tale of one such being and the disastrous mark he left on the multiverse. This is the Tale of a Trinacornagon. *** This is a serious story. Cover is drawn by a trusted colleague and co-originator of this story.

After reaching the pinnacle of spiritual power in his source world, Solanky sought to break through the limit of power set by the supreme dimensional laws of his world, but he got a backlash from defying the laws, and his boundless spiritual power and a part of his memories were sealed. In order to regain his power and attempt to break the restraints again, he could only reincarnate and start off on a different path and slowly forge a path for himself instead of following the general cultivation levels that were set by the supreme dimensional laws. After reincarnating, Solanky obtained a defying treasure, which later melded with his body and helped him defy all logic in his source world. Solanky successfully rose through the ranks and broke through the restraints of his source world and obtained his sealed spiritual power, which boosted his current power to a whole new level with the help of a separate body that is disconnected from him. But the worlds outside his source world brought new challenges to him, but with determination he became one of the greatest beings of the outside world, who came to be feared and revered for defying the rules and laws everywhere he went, even challenging the narrative as he gained metaphysical awareness.
