All of humanity—billions of souls—were forcibly transported into 《Global Lord》, a merciless game-world where each person becomes a Lord and must fight to survive. Most cried. Most begged. Most died. But Lucas Nightveil was different. A war mongrel with a thirst for carnage, Lucas thrived in blood and madness. While others struggled to build wooden huts and gather firewood, Lucas awakened the [Dark Crypt]—and with it, her. Selena Draculea, the Vampire Queen. Elegant. Overpowering. Sadistic. And above all—loyal only to her King. While the rest of the world was still learning how to train peasants, Lucas was already unleashing Death Knights, Blood Moon Archers, and Shadow Banshees from his evolving Lair. With Selena by his side, he painted the lands crimson with the blood of Lords, monsters, and gods alike. He didn’t want peace. He didn’t want justice. He only wanted war. “In the night, there is no mercy—only my will.” — Lucas Nightveil As his Night Empire rises, the world learns one eternal command: "Bow to the Vampire Queen. Or be devoured by her King." cover made by: Shyrlo

Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yu Junghyeok, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA). Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amusement of god-like “Constellations.” After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark. He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA. Although he is the singular omniscient reader of the events yet to come, his success in the scenarios is not guaranteed—but perhaps his advantage will empower him to step into the protagonist role that never suited him before.

Death rejected him. The gods erased him. The world marked him as a mistake. After dying on Earth, Kael Verdan is reborn into a brutal fantasy world where souls are harvested, reincarnations are ranked, and those deemed defective are executed without mercy. Labeled a Hollowborn, Kael is given only days to live. But Kael carries a flaw the gods never anticipated. He remembers every death. Each time he is killed, his pain returns with him—sharper, heavier, and impossible to forget. Monsters fear him. Humans hunt him. Gods move to erase him completely. As Kael learns to weaponize his own deaths, he ascends a forbidden path, claiming dominion over failed souls and the discarded dead. With every resurrection, he grows stronger—and less human. This is not a story of heroism. This is the rise of a man who turns death into authority, defies divine law, and forces a cruel world to kneel before the one it could not kill. When even death fails… a Hollow Crown is born.

Reyan’s ordinary life shatters in a single morning when a mysterious virus outbreak transforms people into terrifying, predatory creatures. As the city of Niraya descends into chaos, Reyan fights to survive, protect his daughter, and navigate a world where friends can become enemies in an instant.

A city begins to change. People speak of a man who listens. A man who understands them too well. A man who disappears. As quiet breakdowns spread and anonymous kindness leaves damage in its wake, Elias Vale begins to see patterns no one else wants to acknowledge. There is no crime scene. No visible enemy. Only influence. Only aftermath. The Devil is a slow-burning mystery about manipulation, identity, and the danger of being truly understood.

【WSA 2026 Entry】 ════════════════════ Birth of the Biomancer: Mio was the worst healer in Tokyo. F-grade, dead weight—her party kept her around out of pity until they did the math and left her bleeding in a ruined cathedral. Something ancient was waiting there. It offered her a Class that devours its hosts—a path of power that claimed the lives of the three Biomancers who came before her. Mio said yes anyway. She’d already felt the sting of a slow death; what was one more monster in her veins? Now pain is currency, death is fuel, and the hunger grows with every kill. The Bureau wants a weapon. Her sister wants her home for dinner. Mio agreed to both. In a world of Systems and Dungeons, power isn't a gift; it's a trade. And Mio is finally ready to pay the price. ════════════════════ What This Is: [1] This is a progression fantasy with system elements, but the system serves the story, not the other way around. Expect meaningful numbers, not stat spam. [2] Romance is not the focus. Mio has bigger problems. But expect a slow-burn later down the line! [3] The story gets dark, but it's earned. No grimdark for shock value. ════════════════════ Schedule: 1-2 chapters daily @ 10am-2pm CST | Chapter Length: 1,000-1,500 words ════════════════════ Powerstone Goals: 100 = +1 chapter 250= +2 chapters 500= +3 chapters 800 = +5 chapters ════════════════════ Author's Note: This is my debut contracted work, born from a love for progression fantasy where power isn't a gift; it's a trade. I’m committed to seeing this journey through to the end. As long as you guys keep reading and supporting, the chapters won't stop. Let’s see how high the price of power goes. ════════════════════ Support Me: Collections, comments, and reviews keep this alive! ════════════════════ #weak_to_strongest #female_lead #mass_awakening #dark_fantasy

Have you ever loved someone enough to let them ruin you? Hatred turns intimate. Violence turns protective. Control turns possessive. Lines blur until neither knows where revenge ends and devotion begins. This is not a love story. It’s a descent. A dark romance of power, cruelty, obsession, and the kind of attachment that doesn’t ask to be healthy—only eternal.

In 1832, in the remote village of Nougrihi near the ancient ruins of Mahishnati, the Yoro clan lives under the iron grip of centuries-old traditions. Superstition is law: rigid caste divisions, omens that dictate every decision, whispers of black magic, and ritual human sacrifices offered in secret groves to “appease the earth” and prevent famine. Fear is the true currency—fear of the gods, fear of the elders, fear of change. On a moonlit night, a boy named Kunal is born into this world. From the moment his piercing eyes open, the villagers sense something different. They whisper that this child will change everything. What they don’t know is that the prophecy is self-fulfilling—not because of destiny, but because Kunal’s mind refuses to accept the lies they live by. As a boy, Kunal watches the rituals in silence, memorizing every detail, every contradiction. The sacrifices never truly stop the droughts. The caste rules never bring justice. The fear never ends. His genius awakens early: an exceptional intellect that sees patterns, questions authority, and refuses to bow. Years later, as a young man, Kunal marries Siya—a woman as sharp and beautiful as she is loyal. Together they live in the shadow of the clan’s traditions, but Kunal’s mind is already working. He begins to study the world beyond the village: colonial engineers building canals and roads, magistrates investigating ritual killings, the slow spread of logic against superstition. He teaches himself engineering and detective methods—how to design irrigation systems that make sacrifices unnecessary, how to investigate “omens” and prove they are manipulations or coincidences. But every step he takes threatens the clan’s fragile order. Elders see him as dangerous. Lower-caste families see him as hope. Some accuse him of black magic. Others quietly follow him. Paranoia spreads like wildfire: villagers start doubting their own memories, questioning rituals they once accepted without thought, watching each other with suspicion. Kunal wants only one thing: a normal life with Siya, free from fear. Yet the deeper he digs into the clan’s “legacy,” the more he realizes it is not a curse from the gods—it is a cycle of collective trauma, guilt, and control. Breaking it means confronting the elders, exposing the lies, and risking everything: his family, his safety, his sanity. As the clan begins to fracture, Kunal must decide how far he is willing to go. Every revelation brings more danger. Every ally brings more betrayal. And every truth he uncovers forces him to look deeper into his own mind—because the greatest fear may not be the clan’s traditions… it may be what he himself becomes in the fight to destroy them. In Legacy of Fear, intellect becomes a weapon, doubt becomes a virus, and one man’s refusal to stay silent threatens to unravel an entire world built on lies. A gripping psychological thriller about genius, guilt, tradition, and the terrifying cost of truth.

The Hero of the West is dead. The world doesn't know that yet and the Council Of The West would like to keep it that way. They pushed the responsibility to a young man named Moon--a friend of the Hero. And sent him an Academy student, Mina, as his apprentice--who wanted to be a hero. Demons were rampaging the world within their wall. And it had to be the duo to deal with them. And if only they were a little stronger like the former hero, there won't be so much dead.

I died on my wedding night. My mate the Alpha I had loved all my life abandoned me before the entire pack, humiliated me, and whispered his final command through our bond: “Just die already.” And I did. But fate was cruel. Instead of peace, I opened my eyes again… reborn to the very night of my betrayal. This time, I wasn’t the weak, naïve Luna who let her sister steal everything. This time, I would tear their lies apart.

"You think you can handle my world, Bella?" Leo growled, his eyes blazing with a dangerous intensity as he cornered her. "Once you're in, there’s no way out. I’ll destroy everything you are." Isabella’s breath caught, but she didn’t back down. Her voice was soft but unwavering as she whispered, “Maybe I’m not as fragile as you think. Maybe I want to be destroyed by you.” Leo’s hand gripped her chin, tilting her face up to meet his. “You have no idea what you’re asking for,” he warned, his tone dark and possessive. “I’ll take everything—your innocence, your light. You’ll be mine, completely.” She leaned in closer, her lips barely an inch from his. “Then take it, Leo. Take all of me.” ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* Isabella was beautiful and innocent, with a kind heart and a true desire to help others. Her innocence wasn't because she was naive, but because she chose to see the good in the world, even when she knew about its darker sides. She was quiet, preferring to stay behind the scenes, but when it came to hacking, she was fearless. Her mind worked like a supercomputer, able to break into any system with ease. Leonardo Moretti was the dangerous mafia boss everyone was warned to stay away from. He was cold, ruthless, and didn't seem to care about anything. But everything changed when he found himself unexpectedly married to Isabella, a woman who seemed innocent and weak. What would happen when Leonardo discovered that his new wife was not just any woman, but a super hacker? ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ - Mature Themes - He Fell First and Harder - 18+ Content - Mafia World - Weak to Strong - Slow burn

MC reincarnates in the world of Naruto with the ability to control time that allows him to time-travel, it will help him survive but not make him strong directly. To survive in the dangerous world of shinobi, MC must rely on his own capabilities and build up his own strength himself, as he doesn’t have any bloodline or exceptional talent to rely on. Story starts slowly and MC will not become OP any time soon, but he will work all the way up to the top eventually. If you prefer novels where MC is strong from the start – this is not it. Same goes for people who love when MC starts with a “perfect unbeatable OP cheat” - this is not it; Time Control ability has potential, but it won’t make MC strong directly. --- This is the restart of my original fic “Naruto: Time Traveler” (on wn and rr) that was abandoned a year ago due to some problems irl at the time. Now I decided to return to writing but after reading the original work I have concluded that its quality is very lacking and I should rewrite all of it from the start instead of continuing it, so here we are. Some things from my original fic will be changed, and the story will go a little bit differently than it was there, but the core of the story will follow the same outline as it was in the original fic, not entirely but for the most part. --- No harem. Probably no romance either (not decided yet). Chapters 1500+ words. Updates approximately 1 chapter in 2-3 days. Advanced chapters will be available later on Patreon/SycoreNovels
