THE INSANITY OF MYRAID WORLDS

​"To become a God, one must first become a Legion." ​In the world of the Nine Heavens, cultivation is a scripted path of destiny. Great Clans rise and fall according to the "Golden Luck" of heaven-sent heroes, while the mediocre are recycled into the dust of history. Gu Xian was one such footnote—a C-grade talent born into the prestigious Gu Clan, destined for a life of silent obedience. ​But Gu Xian possesses a terrifying "insanity": he does not believe in fate. He believes in Logic. ​At age fifteen, Gu Xian commits the ultimate metaphysical transgression. He performs a self-inflicted surgery on his own soul, shattering his consciousness into three distinct shards and scattering them across the "Outer Veils." ​The Earth Shard: Spent decades mastering the cold, unyielding laws of physics, chemistry, and thermodynamics. ​The Murim Shard: Assimilated the peak of kinetic lethality and battle intent from a world of endless war. ​The Eldritch Shard: Witnessed the cosmic horrors that dwell in the "Source Code" of the universe. ​Now, at age seventeen, the shards have begun to return. ​Gu Xian awakens to a world he no longer recognizes as sacred. Where others see "Divine Fire," he sees a chemical reaction to be suppressed. Where others see "Ancient Miracles," he sees inefficient glitches in a cosmic algorithm. ​Armed with a void of emotion and the ability to "re-code" reality itself, Gu Xian begins his ascent. He is not here to save the world, nor is he here to be a hero. He is a Sovereign Architect out to dismantle the "Great Algorithm" of the Heavens, one "Protagonist" at a time. ​He will liquidate clans, harvest destiny, and uproot every variable of failure. Because in a universe governed by scripted insanity, the only one who can truly be free is the man who has mastered the math of the Void. ​Step into the mind of Gu Xian. Experience a journey where morality is a variable, and immortality is a calculation.

THE RISE OF AN EMPIRE

In the rain-soaked streets of modern Tokyo, overworked software engineer Alex Thompson meets a sudden, brutal end beneath the wheels of a runaway truck. His ordinary life of code, deadlines, and quiet regrets ends in an instant—only to begin anew in a world of magic, monsters, and ruthless ambition. Reborn as Elias Valtor, the seventh and final child of a struggling baron on the forgotten fringes of the Valerian Continent, Elias awakens with all his Earth memories intact. House Valtor clings to survival in a harsh frontier barony besieged by the Endless Wilds: goblin raids, mana-corrupted beasts, failing harvests, crushing debts, and scheming neighbors who view their lands as easy prey. The family is in decline—older siblings dead, scattered, or useless—and Elias is their last, fragile hope. But Elias is no helpless infant. Armed with twenty-first-century knowledge of science, strategy, engineering, history, and ruthless pragmatism, he sees opportunity where others see only despair. From the cradle, he observes, plans, and experiments in secret: blending basic chemistry with mana to create revolutionary fertilizers, turning barren fields fertile; studying pack tactics from wildlife documentaries to outsmart dire wolf hordes; forging innovative weapons and tactics inspired by Sun Tzu, Napoleon, and modern guerrilla warfare. As he grows from gifted child to teenage baron, Elias transforms his crumbling inheritance. He builds loyal militias trained in merit-based discipline, introduces proto-industrial innovations like gunpowder and mana-enhanced machinery, establishes trade networks that flood the barony with wealth, and quietly crushes internal rivals and external threats with calculated precision. What begins as desperate survival evolves into deliberate conquest: annexing neighboring duchies, forging alliances with oppressed peoples and ancient races, and toppling corrupt lords who underestimate the "boy baron." Yet power attracts enemies. Jealous nobles, ancient evils stirring in the continent's heart, and the looming shadow of greater empires test Elias at every step. With a sharp-witted mage consort at his side and a growing legion of diverse followers—humans, reformed beastkin, elves—he marches toward unification, blending Earth's ingenuity with Elyria's magic to forge something unprecedented: an empire born not of divine right or brute force, but of innovation, strategy, and unrelenting will. From one forgotten barony on the edge of the world rises the Valtorian Empire—a new order that will reshape the Valerian Continent forever. In a genre of heroes summoned as saviors, Elias chooses to become the architect of his own destiny. Survival was never enough. He will rise—and the world will kneel.40 sources

The Forsaken Prodigies

In 1943, on the outskirts of Verdant Crescent, two young brothers - Vernon (9) & Bruce (8)- live hidden from the world in a lonely house surrounded by the forest. Their parents, once celebrated as the Sages of Innovation, revolutionized the study of Qi and Mana Heights, a breakthrough meant to heal the sick, strengthen the weak, and change medicine forever. But everything changed when their research was stolen, twisted, and weaponized into instruments of war. Branded as the creators of humanity's newest horrors, the parents were hunted, persecuted, and erased from the history they helped build. One quiet night beneath the stars, as the brothers look through their father's telescope, the world finally catches up to them. The home is attacked. Flames swallow the night. Their mother sacrifices herself to buy them time. Now the boys escape into the darkness with their father - wounded, silent, carrying truths even heavier than the children can imagine. But Vernon and Bruce will soon learn: Their parents' lost research was only the beginning. The world will hunt them next - not for who they are, but for what they might become. With rumours spreading that the brothers inherited the forbidden power, the world sees them as future monsters… long before they ever choose a path. As they grow, grief and misunderstanding twist their fates in different ways: Vernon, forced to mature too young, sees humanity's hatred as proof the world deserves to burn. Bruce, still gentle despite everything, wonders if he can save what despises him. Between war, magic, and the weight of a legacy they never asked for, the brothers must uncover the truth behind the Lost Designs, the real reason their mother died, and the shadowy forces that turned the world against their family. And in the end, the world may marvel… Are these boys humanity's doom… or its only hope? --- "Knowledge is a lantern. Passed down, it becomes a torch." - Alice Lily

The Anti-Villain. King

In a world where the corrupt call themselves heroes, someone has to get their hands dirty. World War III never ended. It's been ninety-six years of stalemate, paranoia, and survival. In 1983, every nuclear weapon on Earth vanished overnight. Humanity blamed NovaBreeds—people born with extraordinary abilities—without a shred of proof. The persecution that followed was systematic. Brutal. Profitable. Now, in 2079, NovaBreeds are the new weapons of war. Captured. Trafficked. Sold to the highest bidder. Governments, corporations, and criminal organizations treat them as property. The biggest trafficker? The Big Boys—an organization so embedded in the system they sponsor the heroes meant to stop them. Heroes wear corporate badges. Villains hide behind charity galas. Justice is a commodity purchased by whoever has the deepest pockets. And in this world, doing the right thing will get you branded a terrorist. The Renegades don't care what you call them. Operating from the shadows, they rescue trafficked NovaBreeds and strike at the corruption strangling the world. The media calls them criminals. The law hunts them. The people they save know better. But rescue missions aren't enough. Not when the system feeds on the vulnerable. Not when the powerful profit from suffering. Not when every "hero" is just another face on the same machine. The Big Boys are planning their largest auction yet. Hundreds of NovaBreeds sold like livestock to governments and monsters. It's not just trafficking anymore—it's a display of power. A reminder that some lives are commodities, and the corrupt decide their value. For the Renegades, this is the moment that matters. Get inside. Gather intelligence. Tear the operation apart from within. For one member of the team, it's far more complicated. Some fights can't be won with clean hands. This isn't a story about chosen ones or noble sacrifices. This is about people trapped in impossible situations, making choices that would horrify the world they're trying to protect. This is about the space between hero and villain—where doing good requires terrible methods. Where saving lives means taking them. Where the only way to fight monsters might be to become something just as frightening. The heroes say killing is always wrong. Some disagree. Evil exists that cannot be reformed, only eliminated. Mercy has limits. Justice demands consequences. The villains say only power matters. Some disagree. Power without purpose is just destruction. Strength without conviction is meaningless chaos. The system says anyone outside the law is a criminal. Some disagree. When the law serves corruption, when justice is bought and sold, when the innocent suffer while the powerful profit—then the law itself becomes the crime. There's a space between these absolutes. A gray area where the desperate operate. Where people do what's necessary while everyone else debates philosophy. Where hard choices get made, and the burden falls on those willing to carry it. Welcome to a world where: Peace is a lie maintained by the powerful. Freedom is a luxury for those who can afford it. Heroes work for the villains. And sometimes, the only person willing to truly help is the one everyone fears. Where moral complexity isn't academic—it's survival. Where doing right through wrong means creates enemies on all sides. Where protecting the innocent might require becoming what the world calls a monster. This is The Antivillain King. Where the real monsters wear friendly faces and sit in positions of power. Where one team of outcasts refuses to accept that this is just how the world works. Where someone has to be willing to cross lines others won't—because if no one does, nothing ever changes. Some stories are about heroes rising to save the world. This is about people who reject that narrative entirely. Because sometimes, the world doesn't need saving. It needs someone willing to burn down the parts that are rotten.

The Extra's Law

Being the only person in his world who can see the Aurora Borealis phenomenon that constantly adorns the sky, Nathan never imagined that he would enter his own half-finished novel titled "Endless Cataclysm." Yet, he now inhabits the body of someone named Adrian Hale, without understanding why he exists there, as he never wrote such a character. Nevertheless, he enjoys his new life by pretending to be Adrian Hale and receiving love from his family. Until he finally realizes that the place he currently inhabits is destined to be destroyed without a single soul left alive. Destroyed by what? Killed by whom? Nathan does not know, because it was a Plot Hole in his novel that he left unresolved. But that is what is written in his novel, and it will inevitably happen in some form because the World of his novel will not remain idle, ignoring that Plot Hole or its logical flaws. He has witnessed firsthand how the world logically filled in all the deficiencies present in his novel when it became reality. So, what will the world create to rectify the Plot Hole of his death and the inevitable demise of millions of human lives? That is a threat he, as the author, had never anticipated before. His knowledge of the Plot is also useless because he is far removed from the Protagonist, from the main story of his novel. The only encounter between them would be if he manages to overcome that Threat, or if the Protagonist finds his corpse. Nathan is also continually startled by the world of his novel and the humans within it, who create things that surpass his imagination as its author. He is a powerless God, overwhelmed by his own creation that has transcended him. (The pacing is slow at the beginning due to the character development and workbuilding. If you want fast-paced action at the beginning, sorry, this isn't for you.)
