"Battling young masters for some treasures in mysterious caves? No, thank you. What's so special about a ring containing an old sage's trapped soul? I'll just toss it away. Becoming a direct disciple of some big expert with many enemies? Count me out. I'll flip the bird to the pointless struggle in prestigious sects that only attract calamity. What I have here, this opportunity I've seized, is plenty for me. I'll choose safe and steady methods of progress, even if they're slow. After all, I'm just a simple farmer seeking peace through cultivation. I'll rely on myself to pave the way." - Aksai Everwood (Chapter 7) ============ Aksai Everwood was a terminally ill man in his past life who signed up for one last experiment and accidentally made history by merging his mind with an AI. Instead of dying, he woke up in another world with a new name, new body, and a magical farm. But this isn’t your average pastoral paradise. Spirit farming here means dealing with dangerous cultivation, chaotic realms, and the occasional reality-bending headache. Armed with neural tech, an enchanted farm that grows mystical resources, and the ability to travel between worlds, Aksai skips the usual sect life to blaze his own trail. From druidic powers to martial arts and body cultivation, he’s on a path to conquer many realms. ============ Additional Tags: #druid #bloodlines #Martialarts #worldhopping #artificialintelligence #coldmc #battlenovel #calculatingmc #villain #farming #spiritcultivation #mindcultivation #bodycultivation #worldhopping #rpgelements #low-keymc #sliceoflife #nonarrogantmc

“The boogeyman of Outer Gods, protector of Earth, humanity’s last stand—Miratheris’s son has returned.” I was drowning in sloth. The color of life had drained from my eyes, leaving only shades of grey. Doing anything felt like punishment. Looking for a job? A laughable idea. I did everything I could to stay disconnected from reality. Gambling. Drinking. Even suicidal stunts. Anything to escape the numbness that clawed at my mind for even a second. But everything comes at a cost. I abandoned my family. Broke the heart of the only woman who ever loved me. And wasted every damn day like it didn’t matter. I became the kind of man society throws out with the trash. But life didn’t spare me. Not even when I hit rock bottom. Deceived, shackled, and sold into another world— I spent the rest of my days as a slave. Forced to fight monsters ripped straight out of myth. At the very end, all I could do… was wish. Just one more chance. One shot to make things right. … Born a prodigy, Ashen Hart moved through life like a golden boy. What others worked for, he mastered with ease. At first, it felt like a blessing. The validation, pride, and accomplishment felt sweet. But even honey spoils when you’re drowning in it. The more success he tasted, the more hollow it all became. And when a mysterious power awakened within him, letting him see moments into the future— The world lost all color. And then all meaning… Nothing could surprise him. Nothing could move him. He spiraled. Ashen threw it all away—ambition, love, purpose— and embraced the slow death of apathy. But fate wasn’t done with him. Kidnapped by a shadowy organization and forced into a hidden war, he learned a truth: he wasn’t special. He was fodder. Cannon meat to delay the inevitable. But somewhere, buried beneath sloth and cynicism, the genius stirred. The apathy rotted away. And Ashen Hart, the failure, became Ashen Hart, the wretched. The unkillable. From a discarded pawn to the final hope of mankind. And when it was over—when even the gods had fallen— he was left alone. At his dying breath, the Earth’s spirit, Miratheris, answered his plea. She rewound time, giving him one last shot. But not without a price. She kept his memories intact… and delayed their return just enough so his younger self could bear the weight. Ashen’s second life begins now— and the monsters, both within and beyond, are about to learn what regret truly feels like. ═══⟲══════⟲══════⟲═══ All chapters are unlocked.

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.

The day the System appeared, humanity believed it was their salvation. Dungeons opened across the world. Monsters flooded the cities. And people awakened supernatural abilities to fight back. Levels, skills, and quests became the new law of reality. But for Kael, the System is… different. While others receive quests to save the world, his System gives only one command: [Primary Objective: End the World.] At first, he believes it’s a glitch. A mistake. But the rewards are real. Every disaster he causes… Every powerful being he eliminates… Every step toward humanity’s downfall… The System grows stronger. Soon Kael realizes a terrifying truth. The System guiding humanity may not be their savior. It might be the executioner of an entire world. Now trapped between humanity and a System that rewards destruction, Kael must decide: Will he fight against the System controlling his fate… Or will he become the harbinger of the world's end?

His only sin… was noticing her. In a kingdom ruled by silence and power, King Morfin makes a choice he cannot undo. He sees what no one else dared to see. Saelis — a maid who does not bow like the others. A woman who does not tremble. Married to Thorn, loyal and fiercely devoted, she never seeks attention. Yet attention finds her — and once it does, it refuses to let go. What begins as curiosity becomes obsession. What feels like admiration becomes possession. And when a king desires what is not his to take, the cost is never paid by him alone. Thorn will bleed for a sin he never committed. Saelis will stand between love and survival. And the palace will learn that power can command obedience— But it can never command the heart. In a world where being noticed is more dangerous than being loved, one question remains: When a king falls… who will fall with him?

He wasn’t the strongest, nor the most talented or clever. Just a nobody. And yet, he was the one who survived until the end. When alien races invaded and the world fell into ruin, Adel endured. He watched heroes die, cities burn, hope vanish. And in the final battle, just when he had accepted his death, fate offered him one last, mocking chance: to go back. This is the story of how a mistake, a survivor who was never meant to exist, will bend the world to his hatred.

Leo wakes up in a foreign world with no memory of his name, past, or purpose. The only thing he’s certain of is this: if he wants answers, he’ll have to survive. Forced into a lethal trial designed to forge assassins, Leo navigates a brutal alien landscape filled with rival killers, hidden agendas, and treacherous power plays. His instincts are flawless, his reactions precise. It’s as if he was born for this, though he has no idea why. As the tests grow bloodier and secrets begin to unravel, Leo learns he may not be just another participant, for whispers of a legendary figure begin to follow him, a being long believed to be dead, a God-Killer with no equal. Now a target of both fear and worship, Leo must master his skills, uncover the truth behind his identity, and outwit enemies who’d rather see him buried than reborn. Because behind the silence of his forgotten past lies a legacy too powerful to ignore, and a destiny that refuses to be denied. -------- NOTE - The MC in this story is a cunning vigilante type character who is morally gray and will often make questionable choices not befitting a traditional 'Hero' type character.

"He didn't belong to this world. And that was his greatest weapon." Mushi was a stranger in a realm he didn't understand—a world where Life Force is the currency of existence and the source of all power. In a place where every soul glows with energy, Mushi was a silent void. A "miserable" human from another world who possessed absolutely nothing. But in the eyes of the Sovereign, "nothing" is the most dangerous thing in existence. When Mushi is sentenced to death for his lack of energy, the very laws of the Spirit Realm collapse. As the sacred executioner’s blade falls, it doesn’t spill blood. It vanishes. The "Life Force" of the world doesn't empower him—it is devoured by him. Mushi isn't just an outsider; he is a gateway to the Void. An ancient, cataclysmic power has chosen his powerless body as its vessel. Now, the light is fading, the Sacred Gates are shattered, and the boy who came from another world to die is about to teach this world the true meaning of "Nothingness." "You thought I was empty? No... I am the end of everything you know." by LORD MARIO Gmail: [email protected] IG:arooy.yz

A strange accident occurred in Heavenly Spire City, triggering the unprecedented awakening of certain individuals. There was an Higher Being behind it, causing some victims to awaken. While most people barely saw it. Cohen spoke with it. Before vanishing, the being gave him the large remainder of its power. As a result, Cohen awakened a Mythic Class, [Priest of Primordial], along with an SSS Talent, [Baptism]. His power allows him to transform creatures into Primordial Beings, beasts that have affinity with different cosmic elements, evolving them into terrifying new forms that follow him with absolute loyalty. [Elax the Frost Dragon has been converted into a Mythic Gray Lunar Dragon.] [Slime has been converted into a Legendary Living Dimension Slime.] [Dire Hawk has been converted into a Unique Star-Cutting Hawk.] Creatures under his command already wield abilities like [Blink], [Gate Opening], [Gravity Manipulation], [Stellar Blasts] and [Entropy Fangs]. But the world is still collapsing. The guilds have grown interest and fear for his abilities. Gates are appearing faster, bringing stronger monsters. And something connected to that mysterious being is beginning to move again. As chaos spreads, Cohen calmly builds his primordial army. The question people ask is no longer whether Cohen will survive the apocalypse. It is whether the world can survive him.

Heaven keeps accounts. The Cloud-Veil Sect has perfected a Dao of purity a cultivation path that can cleanse demonic corruption and karmic fire alike. At its center stands Yan Qinghe, the Sect’s youngest Elder and its most closely guarded secret. Born with a mutated Purifying Spirit Root, Qinghe’s blood carries the scent of Midnight Winter Orchid a fragrance capable of suppressing even the deepest corruption. But every life he “purifies” leaves residue behind. Karma does not vanish. It only changes hands. His Golden Core has never formed properly. Instead, it crystallizes. Jade creeps slowly through his meridians, turning flesh to translucent stone. In less than three years, he will no longer be a cultivator. He will be a relic. Lu Zhao was once a war general at the Nascent Soul stage until he drowned in battlefield karma. Now his spiritual veins burn with karmic flame, and every breath feels like molten iron beneath his skin. He captures Qinghe for one selfish reason: To steal that fragrance. To numb the pain. He does not know that every breath he takes shortens Qinghe’s life. When Heaven begins correcting the imbalance, when sect politics tighten like a noose, and when purification reveals itself to be nothing more than a shifting of sin both men are forced to choose: Remain tools of a broken Dao, Or fracture Heaven’s accounting itself. If purity requires sacrifice, and karma demands payment Who, in the end, will bear the cost?

Names. Humans have always given names to anything. They carried memories, feelings, expectations, and power. When Sun God brought our protagonist back to life, he gave him two gifts. One of which was a heavy name. The Savior. Without any memories of his past, he found himself in a magical and hopeless city as ancient as the world itself. Weak and considered a walking dead man, he will have to face human and non-human enemies, secrets, and deaths to fulfill his mission.

Watch as he rises through tribulations, trials and cosmic threats, using malevolent acts to dictate his very fate. By the time Arthur understands the dark version of himself he created, it may already be too late. Creating the ultimate ability which may require him to dismantle everything he believes he understands. Would he rise to defy the eight deities or would he fall due to a harrowing threat. #Villan #Overpowered #R18+ #Harem #Smut #Worldbuilding #Apocalypse #Extreme Action #Cosmic Horror #Undead

So here's the thing — this isn't really a Naruto story. It's about the other guy living inside him. The one who took every bad memory, every insult, every rotten childhood moment so Naruto didn't have to. We call him Menma. And unlike Naruto, Menma isn't interested in being Hokage or making friends or any of that. He has different plans. If you like dark, smart, morally grey characters who play the long game — give this a shot. Start reading. You'll figure out pretty quickly if this is your thing.
