What if, one day, the clock began to tick backward? Call it a power, or a curse—but when you gain the ability to see beyond the veil, it becomes the Curse of the Clock. When a being slips through from another dimension, or an ancient legend awakens, or a dark spirit stirs, someone must hunt the intruder before the world drowns in chaos and the supernatural. It’s called the Devil’s Hour. In the city of Pendralice, the factions are divided—each marked by the symbol of its own bird and driven by its own beliefs. Sikakama arrives, searching for the legendary sword to become a knight, shaped by the story of her childhood, and soon crosses paths with the Raven Tower Division. Here, time controls everything. And no matter how much you think you hold power over it, you’re merely part of another tale woven by fate, in a world that has forgotten the meaning of a knight and the ideals they once stood for. Can you still become a hero… while the clock keeps ticking in reverse?

Beneath the suffocating shroud of steam and the relentless ticking of clockwork, where does the truth hide? In a world drowning in chaos, where can the oppressed find their salvation? Kenji was just an ordinary man until he woke up beneath a crimson moon, inhabiting the cold, broken body of a stranger named Alphard. This is no fairy tale reincarnation. This is a nightmare of gears, blood, and ancient shadows. To survive, Kenji must navigate a cryptic system of Doors and Keys—manifestations of power that demand a heavy price. In this world, progression isn't bought with experience points; it is paid for in sacrifice. As corrupt religions, hidden factions, and silent gods pull the strings from the darkness, Kenji must decide: will he be the savior of this dying world, or merely the fool playing a part in a divine comedy?

In a world of constant competition, one man aims for the top. In this new genre VRMMORPG, he plans on becoming the strongest at all costs. The classes, the races, the starting zones, everything is a mystery in 'New Eden'. This game is coming out without a shred of details. The only thing that was promoted was the freedom of skill choosing. Our protagonist Alexander, gamer tag Astaroth, has always dreamt of becoming an E-Sports athlete. His parents supported his dream, but they are no longer of this world. He fully intends on making it in this new game, if not for him, then at least to honor their memory. With no idea how he wants to play his character, Alexander chooses the most mysterious starting race. Will this be his road to success or his downfall? The game assistant certainly thought the latter. "Do as you wish, young adventurer. I only wish to add this. Do not come back with complaints when you realize you have made the wrong choice," the elf said, looking at him with clear hatred. "We will see about that," Alexander flatly replied. "I love challenges," he added. "Very well!" the elf harrumphed. "Have the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last," he sarcastically added. Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships. But one thing is clear in his eyes. He will become the strongest player in the game, even if he must step over mountains of corpses to do so. Over are his days of working hard for nothing, it's make or break now! I now have a discord where you can talk with other readers and me. There are also channels to discuss new weapons; characters; classes; or monsters that you might want to design and see incorporated in the story. I will always give credit to the person that created said thing, rest assured. The link is https://discord.gg/68kPqbSFrN

Luke transmigrated. The moment he opened his eyes, he arrived in the world of League of Legends, Runeterra, the continent of Valoran! He started with nothing to his name, and an old mother gravely ill in bed, an absolute nightmare of an opening. Yet on her deathbed, she handed him a mysterious necklace. When he brought the necklace to Demacia’s capital, the Great City of Demacia, he was stunned to discover that the father he had never even met was the reigning king! In the blink of an eye, Luke became Demacia’s second prince, his older brother was Jarvan IV. With a background like that, Luke suddenly felt that being a slacker prince didn’t sound so bad. On top of that, he also awakened a sign-in system. With nothing to do, he’d sign in, then go tease the blonde girl next door from House Crownguard, and flirt a little with Fiora from the neighboring house. Life like this didn’t seem half bad either.

Aoshima is a city that sells perfection: clean streets, bright futures, strict rules. But the curfew exists for a reason. After dark, reality starts to slip, and things that shouldn’t exist begin to move through the cracks. Takumi Kisaragi is a student with a quiet, stubborn edge who’s been noticing those cracks for years. When a sudden incident drags him into the Vanguard Institute, he learns the truth: “Ghouls” aren’t myths, they’re distortions given shape, and only certain people can even perceive them. As Takumi’s resonance draws attention he doesn’t understand, he’s forced to train, survive, and figure out why the city’s hidden threats seem to be circling him in particular—while trust inside the Institute becomes just as dangerous as what waits outside.

Every talent that could exist, I already have. Hope's Peak built me to be its answer to despair, and left me with nothing to want. Then my world was gone, and a new one took its place. Magi. Grails.

Survival was the first thing Lorelei had learned. Her power had marked her from birth, a curse that should have left her abandoned — yet someone still took her in, raised her, cared for her. She knew it couldn't last, knew something would shatter the fragile peace, but she clung to that faint hope anyway: that this happiness would stretch on forever. It didn't. Just as she had with her mother, her own hands had killed him. And in the wreckage of her grief, a figure emerged — the only answer to her questions, the only guide through the bloody path she walked carrying along the sorrow of those she killed.

Now, my name is Uchiha Xuan. I’ve been adopted by my uncle, and I have an older cousin who walks around every day with a "Protagonist" look on his face; his name is Uchiha Madara. I also have a younger cousin who looks like he wants to kill me every single day, though he’d never dare say it out loud because he can't beat me in a fight; his name is Uchiha Izuna. To make matters worse, I'm stuck with a completely screwed-up System called the "Behind-the-Scenes Boss System." Every day, it tries to incite me to go out and conquer the world, and it’s constantly threatening me with "Obliteration" if I don't comply. Honestly, all that fighting and killing is so uncivilized. I just want to quietly be a Mastermind from the shadows... and maybe build myself a massive harem along the way.

Uzumaki Kisuke grew up far from the hidden villages, in a crumbling hut at the edge of the Land of Fire, raised by a dying man who claimed to be a rogue shinobi from Konoha. The old man taught him how to survive, how to hide, and how to never trust the great nations that treated people like tools. For Kisuke, the world beyond the forest was nothing but trouble, and he wanted no part of it. But Kisuke is not an ordinary child. Blessed with the legendary sensory ability known as the Kagura Mind’s Eye and chakra reserves that rival elite shinobi, he has lived his entire life unaware of just how dangerous his existence truly is.

In a village still haunted by past conflicts and looming threats, his heritage and his abilities place him at the center of forces far larger than himself. As bonds form and secrets unravel, Kisuke must decide whether Konoha can truly become his home, or whether he is destined to remain what he has always been: A weapon no one can control. In a world of hunters and hunted, the question is not whether Uzumaki Kisuke will change the fate of the shinobi world… …but whether that fate will survive him. #This is an Original fanfiction.

On an infinitely chaotic, dimensional battlefield… Uchiha Madara, his gaze filled with contempt, activates his Susanoo. "You wish to dance, too?" Ryomen Sukuna stands with his hands in his pockets. "You're the challenger here." Aizen Sōsuke slicks back his hair with a single motion. "From this moment forward, I will stand at the top." The bald Saitama just scratches his head, completely lost on what is happening. Having lost her signature ahoge, Saber Alter frantically swings Excalibur Morgan in a chaotic frenzy.

For Joric, a soul who had clawed his way out of the hellish reality of the 41st Millennium, any new world was a paradise by comparison. After all, what fate could be more hopeless than being cast into the galaxy-spanning nightmare of the Imperium of Man? He had no divine blessing, no unnatural psychic gift—nothing but his own wits—and was born into the polluted, sunless depths of a hive city's underhive. Yet, through sheer grit and a fervent devotion to the Machine God, he ascended from the grime to become a Tech-Priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus. It was on an archeotech recovery mission, deep in the ruins of a forgotten age, that he made contact with a strange, ancient device. In a flash of impossible energy, he was hurled across the veil of reality to a world uncannily similar to the lost Terra of ancient legend. For a fleeting moment, Joric believed the Omnissiah had guided him home. He was wrong. He soon discovered this world was not the cradle of humanity, but a rain-slicked dystopia of chrome, neon, corporate overlords, and digital ghosts. This was a cyberpunk reality, and his grimdark tale was just beginning.
