mystery

After losing both parents in a tragic accident, eighteen-year-old Tom Anderson struggles to survive alone, facing relentless bullying, poverty, and despair. But when a gunshot ends his life, fate grants him a second chance. A rebirth into a world of Tiers, where power defines destiny and ranking determines life itself. Armed with memories of his past and a burning desire to never be powerless again, Tom awakens as Oliver Veyron, a name that will strike fear and command respect across every realm. In a realm governed by gods, monsters, and cosmic laws, he swears to rise above all limits. He will become more than human…he will become a force that none dare challenge: the Unranked God. In a world where power is law and survival is earned, humanity stands on the edge of extinction. The continent of Velrion Star City shines as the last great bastion of order—a fortified megacity protected by ancient barriers, elite warriors, and secrets buried deep within its foundation. Beyond its walls lies a fractured world overrun by monsters, cursed domains, and demonic territories where even the strongest hesitate to tread. Tom Anderson was Once insignificant, Forgotten, and Invisible. Now reborn into a world where strength defines existence, Oliver rises with genius level intellect, Unmatched adaptability and a power that resonates beyond the physical level. In a world governed by ranks… what happens when someone rises beyond them? When the system can no longer measure you… do you become a god— or something far more dangerous?

Jax Harlan knew he was dead… or so he thought, but the problem was… he was still breathing. He is nineteen, broke, and one bad deal from dead in the flooded underlevels of Cascade Spire. When the Shroud Curse rips his soul into the Fractured Expanse, he wakes chained to an ancient echo that wants his body for its next ride. To claw his way home before the girl who once kept him alive drowns in poisoned water, Jax must leash the dead, outthink every monster and every survivor, and pay prices that cut deeper than any knife. Allies fracture, power corrupts quietly, and the drowned ruins keep peeling back secrets that bleed straight back into the real world. In a place where trust is suicide and hesitation gets you eaten, Jax only has one rule left: survive long enough to decide who he becomes when the chain finally tightens all the way.

Luke, an ordinary young man living a quiet life with his mother, desires nothing more than to remain unremarkable in this new, dangerous world. However, while others receive standard classes and ranks such as "Aura Blasters," Luke's awakening goes drastically off-course. Instead of a common role, he is granted the unique title of "Aura Master." This one-of-a-kind status allows him to see and manipulate the flow of energy in ways no one else can. Fearing the attention and danger that come with being "the only one," Luke attempts to hide his overwhelming power by intentionally setting his public status to a "1-Star Average" rank. Despite his efforts to live an average life, the world's escalating chaos and the emergence of powerful entities force him into a secret double life. He must navigate a society obsessed with power and ranking while hiding the fact that he is the most unique and potentially strongest being on the planet.

“In an age where knowledge cuts deeper than knives, Victoria is about to learn far more than is safe for any soul to bear.” Victoria and Robert were torn from the gentle dullness of their ordinary century and cast into a realm governed by proto-concepts—those ancient, unblinking truths from which life, death, and divinity themselves are carved. Proclaimed “Heroes” by a world too desperate to question its own choices, they were commanded to rise in strength, confront a Demon Lord, and deliver salvation to a land that had never been theirs. Robert donned the mantle with the fervour of a man stepping into destiny. Victoria… hesitated. And in that hesitation, something old—older than scripture, older than light—turned its gaze toward her. She felt its attention like a draft through a locked room. In a moment poised between terror and terrible understanding, she accepted its offer: a contract sealed in silence, a year of her life exchanged for a thing that should never have been permitted to exist. Not in this world. Not in any. She did not yet grasp that, in straying from the Hero’s ordained path, she had not merely shifted her fate— she had begun to unwrite the very scaffolding of her humanity. Now Victoria walks like a phantom through a world that has marched on without her— one year behind the celebrated Hero, yet burdened with an insight so sharp it threatens to cut her free from mortality itself. She can now trespass upon knowledge forbidden to scholars, sorcerers, or even those who stand at the pinnacle of human mastery. She commits the kind of acts whispered only of beings who have stepped beyond the human threshold… and never returned. And in a world built on primordial, immovable truths, one truth endures: Knowledge is power. But power, when mishandled, becomes a curse that devours its bearer— quietly, inevitably, like rot beneath embroidered silk.

#Read 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. ---

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 entirely, 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 skills are real now. The strings are real. The puppets move, and what they touch does not reset. In a world fracturing between an empire in succession, a republic bleeding from the inside, and gods who can die and apparently do, one man with no allegiances and no name anyone knows is building something. Not an army. Not a throne. A web. Quiet. Patient. Precise. House of Puppets is a story about control, belief, and the specific cost of choosing to matter in a world that was not built for you. The puppeteer pulls the strings. But someone always holds his.

In the slums beneath Veston, Kael fled before his mother's body grew cold. No sun. No flowers. No hope. No dreams. Winter and gang lords buried them all. "Pray to the gods and endure for a better tomorrow," his mom said. Why would he pray to the same gods who denied him peace? Who thrust him into this nightmare? No, he'd carve a way to Veston with his own hands, and it started by breaking his promise to his mother for survival. But the job for gang lord Garrick Vane went wrong. He was left for dead with nothing but a ledger salvaged from a submerged temple. But he refused death. "I persist." Two words that awakened a forbidden power, an unlicensed truth anchored to belief and paid for in the warmth of his most precious memories. Now a heretic hunted by priests who burn the unfaithful, Kael discovered the ledger tracked everything: his stress, his anchor, the price he had already paid. Every choice stresses his truth. And if his anchor breaks, he wouldn't just die: he'd become something worse. **** Discord server: https://discord.gg/ubzzKM5wfp If you're enjoying the story and want to keep it free, please read it here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/155290/the-crack-in-heaven-a-litrpg-progression-fantasy Don't forget to hit follow and comment there as well to make the algorithm notice your investment in Kael's story.

Lucina is a girl born into shame—the illegitimate daughter of a prostitute, raised by a cruel Baroness who beats her daily and treats her as nothing more than a servant.
