​For centuries, the scattered islands of Kiribati have been bound together not by the tools of man, but by the tides of fear. The ocean here gives life, but it also takes it away—silently and without warning. The locals speak of Te Anti—monstrosities from the deep that rise to claim the living. ​Sixteen-year-old Tawi carries the weight of this history in his bones. Sensitive and fiercely spirited, he struggles to find his footing in a world constantly on the edge of grief. To prepare for the unthinkable, Tawi trains in the Buubura Karekare—ancient, communal games designed to sharpen the body and spirit. He isn’t alone; he stands shoulder-to-shoulder with a brotherhood of young warriors: Taake, Bwene, Tabuto, and Kauro. ​But the ocean is changing. The disappearances are no longer random tragedies—they are strategic strikes. Realizing their enemy is executing a coordinated invasion, Tawi and his rivals must dissolve their petty differences. They have to master the brutality of the games not for glory, but for survival, before the rising tide swallows their people forever. Attention readers!, I’m moving to a new release structure. To keep the action fluid and the updates consistent, I’ll be dropping shorter chapters more often. This ensures you’re never waiting too long for the next 'edge-of-your-seat' moment. Stay sharp. The real hunt begins.. now.

With every step, the line between friend and foe blurs, and the true meaning of courage is tested. In this relentless fight for justice and identity, Alex's first blood marks the start of a revolution that could change everything.

The narrator knows how this story ends. The protagonist is starting to notice. As the chapters pass, the lines between character, narrator, and reader begin to fracture. Scenes disappear. Truth contradicts itself. And someone is lying about what really happens in the last chapter. This is a psychological meta-fiction about control, choice, and the danger of reading until the end.

Armed only with her memories, military instincts, a terrifying bloodline and magic that bends space itself, she begins to uncover a truth far worse than death: The universe is watching her. And it expects her to become something. Something that was never human. ___________________________________ WARNING WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️ ⚠️ Content Warning: Throughout this story, there are scenes involving strong language, physical and emotional abuse, sexual situations, violence, and other mature or disturbing themes.

Mature Content.. Death was supposed to be the end. For him, it was the beginning of evolution. After dying violently in New Orleans, LA, a former U.S. soldier awakens inside the Hive, reborn as an infected—one of the countless undead created by the T-Virus. But something has gone terribly wrong… or terribly right. Unlike the others, he can think. He observes. He adapts. He evolves. While the Red Queen AI identifies him as an anomaly capable of breaking all containment models, a mysterious Evolution System awakens within him—granting stat growth, branching evolution paths, missions, rewards, and the ability to transit across different worlds. Not reincarnation. Not summoning. But World Transit—a forced journey across realities. From virus-ravaged facilities to demon-infested realms, from sword-and-breath battlefields, to titan-dominated lands he is travels into different worlds, tasked with survival, conquest, or domination. Each world leaves a mark. Each evolution strips away weeknes of flesh. Surrounded by powerful women, feared by gods, watched by artificial intelligence, he walks a thin line between monster and ruler. This is not a story of heroism.

When seventeen-year-old Damon Vale lost his mother, his whole world cracked—not with grief, but with an impossible truth. Damon is no longer just a high schooler dealing with gangs and betrayal; he is the secret descendant of the celestial Queen of Woewyn, a realm where memory, time, and spirit intertwine. Raised on Earth by a mother who lied to save his life, Damon is burdened by a forbidden power that literally bends light and is constantly on the verge of purging his own body. Now, ancient gods and demons are pouring onto Earth, some disguised as humans, Chronisouls— some torment, some help. For Damon, the choice is simple: Embrace the divine power that burns him from the inside out, or watch his life on Earth, including the one girl who sees past his walls, shatter forever. From quiet rooftops(literally) to cosmic wars(also literally), Damon must discover if saving existence means losing the fragile human he was trying to be.

Tell me… is the game still worth it?” In the pro leagues, Omegas aren't allowed to play. But Kayden Vale entered the hockey world anyway, pretending to be an Alpha. Living on suppressants, he has one goal: Win the Cup. But he also has one massive problem: Rhys Calder. Rhys Calder is the Alpha Captain of the Nothern Avalanche. He hates Kayden for being "too pretty" for the ice. The world sees them as two Alphas always at each other’s throats, but they don’t see what happens when the lights go out. Behind locked doors, their hate turns into a different kind of heat. It was supposed to be simple: Teammates on ice, fuck buddies in the bedroom. No feelings. No strings attached. Rhys thought he was with a cocky Alpha. Then he found out the truth. Instead of turning Kayden in, he claimed him. What started as a physical release has twisted into dark obsession. Enemies to rivals-with-benefits to something far more dangerous: love.

In this world, the Global System does not bestow strength. It records it. Dungeons exist not as shortcuts to power, but as crucibles of survival. Levels are not numbers, but irreversible transformations of body, mind, and existence. To fight someone above your level is considered impossible — a feat worthy of being recorded in history. Caelan Aurelion Vale transmigrated into this world as a newborn. Fully conscious from birth, yet trapped in an infant’s body, he could only observe, listen, and endure. When the System recognized his existence, it did something unprecedented — it recorded him as the bearer of two nearly extinct bloodlines: the Crimson Reflux and the Veiled Abyss. One grants perfect energy efficiency. The other sees limits, collapse, and how far something can truly go. Unlike others, Caelan does not awaken all at once. His growth is slow, dangerous, and asynchronous — enough to frighten the System into watching rather than confirming his advancement. As he grows within the ancient House Aurelion Vale, forms an unbreakable bond with a living bastion named Bram, and steps into a world where progression must be earned through survival, one truth becomes clear: Caelan is not being guided by the System. He is being recorded. And when his growth is finally validated, the world will have to redefine what a “level” truly means.

After countless times of transforming into a turtle with the magic costume of Hope, Liu Hao was selected by the system to travel to the world of Yu-Gi-Oh. "I don't think there are so many sea turtles here for me to eat." Liu Hao, whose name was changed to You Hao by the system, thought to himself. But soon he discovered that this place is actually the super dimension of the A5 world!And the academy's dog walking group has already found him. Many years later, You Hao, who led the super dimension to unify the four major dimensions, talked about his own mental journey. Back then, I saw Kurosaki Falcon failing to protect his sister, sitting on a chair and weeping. I will never forget this scene. At that moment I was thinking, if I become a duelist, I must win everything. It is my duty to recast the glory of the super dimension.

“Are you hiding, little bird?” His tone was different from the usual. It wasn't the coo she knew, neither was it the song of calmness that often emanated from him. It was vibrating. An allure that in a dark and dangerous way promised a touch that would drift her alive. Annabelle kept her hand to her mouth, her heart racing past its usual rate. She wondered in that moment—now that she knew what he was—if he could hear her heart beat. As if the universe was sending her a response, she felt him stop. Right above where she hid. Holding a shaky breath, she raised her head, feeling the pressure of his feet on the wood that obscured her view from him. Surely, his ability can't go underground. Surely, the scent of watermelon and potatoes would mask her. Yet…the low chuckle that sounded like a sinister laughter made her heart jump, as her legs gave away. He lifted the wooden pallet, their gazes colliding in a fit of what seems to be prey and predator instinct. A tiny smirk was playing on his face now, the same one she was used to. And the evidence was as glaring as daylight. Blood streak marked his crisp white shirt, drooling down the side of his face to his lips—his hands, a crimson bloody mess against rich skin. The stale of another man's death lingering around him, morphing his aura and forever confirming what he is. What he will always be. “Little bird…” “Please…” A huge palm reached out to pat her nest of hair, definitely leaving behind strokes of blood. The metallic iron scent assaulted her nose in the small space she hid. He was after her heart—an organ she feared he might mean in the literal sense. As she remained in the squatting position, watermelon threatening to squash beneath her knees, she felt his pat. Once. Twice. As soothing as always for a creature like him. “I wished upon you little bird. You cannot run from me.” His words were a promise, a seal that bounded them together. Forever. ■■■■■■■ !!!This book will contain some dark smut chapters but a series of warnings will be issued beforehand. So…you will be fine ^.^

This time, Riva won't plead for her innocence. She'll dismantle his empire piece by piece until he's the one begging for mercy. To ruin a monster, she needs a power that plays by no rules-and the only man ruthless enough to help her is the one she can't afford to want. God gave her a second chance.
