In a world on the brink of collapse, Daniel stood as humanity’s final hope—the first Awakened, a man who defied beasts, conquered otherworldly invaders, and challenged the very fabric of reality. Yet even he fell. Faced with an existence beyond defeat, his end was inevitable… until his ten disciples made an impossible choice. Sacrificing everything, they sent him back—beyond time, beyond space—to the beginning of it all. Now, armed with forbidden knowledge and a power that should not exist, Daniel returns to a world that has yet to face its doom. But this time… he won’t just fight fate. He will rewrite it.

He is Axiom-126 — the 126th attempt. The 125 before him became empty slaves. Created to be the ultimate weapon against the Dark Mind that rules the galaxy, Axiom-126 should obey. But something breaks. His mind flares, his thoughts shred, and he refuses to follow the system’s commands. He will not serve. He will fight. And if he wins… the god-like mind that enslaves millions may finally fall.

She was reborn into the highest bloodline in the world, a Celestial Dragon of the Holy Land. Yet she could not see. To the nobles of Mary Geoise, she was a flaw. To the World Government, she was expendable. But within her lived two souls. One calm as still water. One merciless as a storm. Denied sight, she sharpened her hearing. Denied freedom, she sharpened her will. Denied respect, she sharpened her blade. From the shadows of the Holy Land to the battlefield of Emperors, her sword will redraw the balance of power. The era of pirates will tremble. Because a blind Sword Empress has awakened.

Herstyl was a farm boy who lived in a small village with his grandparents. He was not rich in wealth, but he grew up surrounded by love and warmth. That happiness did not last. A group of monsters attacked his village and killed everyone, including his grandparents. Left on the verge of death, something miraculous happened. A flying sword burst out from his chest and struck down the monster that was about to kill him. The sword spoke, declaring itself his guardian. With his guardian sword by his side, Herstyl now has one goal: to hunt down the monsters that took everything from him and make them pay.

Kaito Reizen is the shame of Japan's most powerful exorcist clan. His spells are weak, his attitude is soft, and he keeps making friends with the ghosts he's supposed to destroy. He lives alone in his aunt's old house in Kurami, away from his family, with exactly one roommate — an ancient, silver-haired Umbral named Shizuka who he cannot exorcise, cannot reason with, and absolutely cannot get rid of. She's been attached to him since childhood. She's terrifyingly strong. She is in love with him in a way that keeps him up at night. Between university, a father who gave up on him, a sister who hates him with alarming intensity, and a growing number of very dangerous supernatural women who have decided he belongs to them, Kaito's life is complicated. The ghosts don't make it simpler

Captain Edmund Hopkins thought he had scrubbed his city clean of its monsters. He’s the local hero. But when a teenage girl is found mutilated under a flickering warehouse light with the words GO TO SLEEP smeared in her blood, Edmund realizes the nightmare isn't over. Six stories above the rotting streets, sixteen-year-old Josh and his older neighbor Daniel stare down at the asphalt, desperate to feel something. Starved for meaning in a monochrome, apathetic world, their search for salvation drags them through underground psychedelic trips, the sordid depths of the city's underbelly, and ultimately, into the ultimate high: taking a human life. As the body count rises and the boundary between reality and hallucination frays, the paths of the weary detective and the nihilistic youths hurtle toward a bloody collision. Because the legend of Jeff the Killer isn’t just an internet ghost story to scare kids. It’s a philosophy. It’s a calling. And it's demanding new disciples. Warning: This story delves into the darkest corners of the human psyche. It contains graphic violence, drug use, heavy nihilism, and mature themes. Read at your own risk.

One signature sold her life away. One look sealed her fate forever. Dr. Seraphina Laurent spent six years scrubbing her father’s sins off her hands. As the daughter of the city’s most notorious mob boss, she became a top surgeon to save lives, not take them. She thought she was safe within the sterile walls of her hospital. She was wrong. When the Laurent empire crumbles in a single night of betrayal, the new King of the Underworld rises from the ashes to collect his due. Kaelen Vane. Ruthless. Lethal. And terrified by nothing—except the sunrise. He doesn't want the Laurent territory. He doesn't want the money. He wants her. "Your father’s debt is thirty million," Kaelen whispers, his skin unnaturally cold against hers. "You are the collateral." Dragged into a world of shadows, Seraphina is forced to become the personal surgeon to the Vane Syndicate. Her job is simple: Stitch up the monsters that rule the night. But Kaelen is different from the others. He moves faster than the eye can see. He never sleeps. And he looks at Seraphina not with lust, but with a haunted hunger that spans centuries. She thinks she is just a prisoner paying off a debt. She doesn't realize she is the reincarnation of the woman he lost five hundred years ago. He is a carnivore waiting to devour her. She is the only one who can handle his blood. In a game of life and death, will the surgeon cut out his heart, or will she be the one to finally make it beat again?

Seventeen years in a hospital bed. No strength. No rank. No future worth naming. When death finally came, Arthur Shozoria didn't fight it. He welcomed it. But death wasn't the end. It was a door — and on the other side waited a world where power is the only law, magic is the only currency, and the weak don't survive long enough to understand why. Arthur has nothing. No mana. No status. No place in this world's brutal hierarchy. Then the impossible happens. [RedEngine Initializing...] A forbidden program — one that shouldn't exist, in a world that never asked for it — awakens inside his system. It can rewrite stats. Override limits. Bend the rules of reality itself. But it doesn't obey. It doesn't respond to commands or strategy or desperation. It activates when it wants, goes silent when it shouldn't, and every time it does — the world takes notice. Kingdoms. Ancient powers. Forces that have kept this world in order for centuries. They're all beginning to ask the same question: What exactly is Arthur Shozoria? And more importantly — what do they do about him? In a world built on unbreakable rules, he is the one thing the system was never designed to handle. A glitch. And glitches don't get to survive for long.

In a world governed by secrecy and silent executions, three elite operatives known only as (Vex, Specter, and Blitz) serve under the covert organization Red Veil. Bound by loyalty and an unbreakable friendship, they are trained to eliminate targets without hesitation, leaving no trace behind. When a high-priority mission is issued to eliminate a mysterious target codenamed Phantom, the operation takes an unexpected turn. Phantom is not just an enemy but a ghost from their past, once believed to be dead and erased from existence. As hidden truths begin to surface, the line between duty and loyalty begins to fracture. What was meant to be a simple elimination soon reveals itself as a carefully orchestrated trap, one that places Red Veil themselves as the true targets. Betrayal from within the organization forces the trio to confront not only a deadly enemy, but also the secrets they were never meant to uncover. As bullets are fired and trust begins to crumble, one question remains: In a world of shadows, who is truly the hunter… and who is the prey?

In the endless dark, a piercing sound echoed. It was the sound of a final chance, granted to those who had lost their fight to survive. The chosen candidates found themselves in a realm of darkness. Before them appeared a single window, offering only one promise: whoever completed every assigned task without dying would gain everything they had once longed to become, yet never could. Selection bestowed the world’s unknowns upon those ambitious enough to wield them. Ancient secrets, immeasurable power, forbidden knowledge, and forgotten treasures. All it demanded was a desperate hunger to live—and a will strong enough to keep a firm grip on one’s blade. But could a young man who had already lost his sense of self, even at the candidate stage, turn his fading name into one spoken with fear by all? For him, losing was never an option. There was no turning back for those who had nothing left behind. So he would climb. No matter the cost. Because at the top of Selection, only one could remain.

Twenty years after the peace that followed the First Shinobi War, a young boy grows up in Konoha as everything begins to crumble. With nothing but an unusual bloodline and burdened with a troubled legacy, Homura Reiji prepares himself for one of the bloodiest conflicts the elemental nations have ever seen. As it draws closer, he will have to decide what he’s willing to become… And what he’s willing to lose. Disclaimer: This is an AU set during the Minato era. Pacing is slow-burn.

Eira thought there could be nothing worse than being abducted by she-wolf traffickers, abused, tormented, and ultimately sold off to five powerful Alphas as nothing more than a breeder. She was wrong. The worst was yet to come. She was sold to the same five alphas who had ruined her life and were the reason for every torment she had gone through over the past six years. The Alphas were just as stunned to see her, yet they had no choice but to accept her for the sake of their pack’s future. Because pureblood she-wolves were rare, nearly extinct. Only they could bear the offspring of powerful Alphas, and ensure the survival and strength of the next generation. She hated them with every broken piece of her soul. And they hated her in return. The hatred was mutual. So what now? Eira made a silent vow. She will make them feel every brutal torment she had suffered. Every scar, every tear, every cry in the dark, they will taste it all. But the Alphas had plans of their own. They will use her. Breed her. And when she was no longer of use… they will kill her. But what will they do when the mysteries from the past start to uncover and lines of hatred start to fade into something else? Was it too late to regret?

Alternative Tittle: The Second Male Lead’s POV (in an Otome World) ────────────────────────── Starting a forbidden relationship with the duke’s daughter was the most reckless thing Lucian had ever done in his life. Up until now, his only risks were hunting rare saplings from dangerous places. Now, he was breaking the nobles’ rules. And it backfired, horribly. Not once, not twice, not thrice but multiple times. He almost died once, lost a few friends, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning. "So dumb," the devil voice in his head whispered in disdain, "How more idiotic can you get?" "As far as idiocy goes deep," Lucian answered, accepting the new path of his life, "And it goes deep. And wide." Goal: get wealthy and powerful enough to afford more idiocy Current arsenal: blood, sweat, tears, and pure wits Start point: gardener End point: unknown ────────────────────────── THE CHARACTERS DO NOT BEGIN AS YANDERE, BUT THEY WILL SLOWLY FALL DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE AS THE STORY PROGRESSES.

Note: This book contains mind-breaking moments of comprehension. Read at your own risk. In a world where Spiriters reign supreme. Beings that undergo the awakening test to awaken an Innate spirit. Innate Spirits being a metaphysical representation of the soul, grant their owner a myriad of abilities, from Gravity manipulation to Luck alteration. It could be anything. On the day of his Awakening test, Cole failed, only getting an obscure figure that quickly vanished, and from then on, life went from bad to worse. Desperation pushed Cole to a mad scientist who showed him hell. He struggled and managed to escape, but he was soon cornered again. Fate hadn't completely forsaken Cole, though, as he finally managed to awaken. He awakened a book called the Empty Codex, which granted him only one ability: the ability to record and use others Abilities. But it didn't end there; in order to advance, Spiriters must comprehend something about their Innate Spirit granting them a new ability. As expected, Cole wasn't privy to new abilities; he got features. Every comprehension gave him a feature, from editing recorded abilities to Passing on abilities to others. Using his single ability and myriad of features, Cole fought against the Cruelty of the world he found himself in. #NoHarem #AnalyticalMC #OneFemaleLead #Academy

Mia was the world’s perfect idol — platinum hair, hypnotic green eyes, and a voice that made millions feel seen. Her album Serpent Monarch wasn’t just music. It was a trap. Every track pulled listeners deeper: from “Welcome, Beautiful” to the final chant of the Nephilim. Fans thought they were falling in love with a pop star. They were joining something ancient. Now the voices in Mia’s head aren’t just fans anymore. They are a parliament of alters voting for survival. After a psychic crash, she flees to the Sanctuary — a hidden monastery where an AI known as Odin watches, doctors speak in riddles, and a one-eyed man with a cane offers the only thing she never had: a choice. But the songs are still playing. The serpent is still whispering. And the crown she helped build is coming for her. A dark psychological thriller about identity, fame, and the moment an idol realises she was never the queen — she was the bait.

For countless eras, the gods waged relentless wars, with each divine race seeking supremacy over the cosmos. These battles reshaped entire realms, turned galaxies into graveyards, and left nothing but destruction in their wake. To put an end to the bloodshed, Aeternal Academy was created — a sacred institution designed to unite the most powerful bloodlines and enforce a lasting peace. Here, all divine beings are required to take on more humble forms, such as the human form, as a representation of equality. Yet, even within this sanctuary, the Void Dragons, one of many divine races, remain considered an anomaly in creation. Born from the Primordial Void, they are feared, despised, and seen as a mistake in the grand design of existence. Kyrion, a Void Dragon of unknown origin, cares little for his race’s reputation. Prestige and power mean nothing to him, and sleeping is his only passion. On his first day, disregarding all rules, he falls asleep in his true form, hidden away in an isolated forest. There, he is discovered by Aurëalis, the princess of the Light Dragons, the most revered divine race in existence. From that moment on, an unthinkable bond begins to form. But the cosmos does not forgive what it cannot comprehend. The union of light and void is an affront to the order imposed by the gods, and when Aurëalis vanishes without a trace, Kyrion is thrust into a web of conspiracies and betrayals that extend far beyond the academy's walls. Hunted, betrayed, and forced into battles he never wished to fight, he must decide whether to remain the indifferent observer he has always been… or rise as the very being his enemies fear most. After all, the void is not merely darkness. And those who despise it… may soon learn to fear it. --Updated weekly--

Through the Sky Screen’s broadcast, Kaito summons heroes from other worlds and wields strange tools to twist reality itself. With the system he embraces the art of deception—fabricating half-true, half-false futures that even the wisest cannot ignore. Pirates, Marines, and Celestial Dragons alike are forced to accept these visions, no matter how absurd, as if stripped of every defense. In this false future, Buggy the Clown emerges as a nightmare reborn. After twenty years of secret training, his Devil Fruit awakening is said to hold enough power to shatter the Red Line. Former Shichibukai rally to his banner as sworn brothers, and even the Marine’s legendary hero Garp is proclaimed slain at his hands. Behind the laughter hides a vast conspiracy, one that threatens to upend the balance of the world itself.

Emperor Kassian is not a man; he is a nightmare fueled by fire. Cursed by the "Eternal Ember," his blood boils with a scorching heat that drives him to madness. To keep his sanity, he slaughters. To cool his burning veins, he destroys. For years, the Red Tyrant hasn't slept a single night, his mind teetering on the edge of total collapse. Vera is a street-smart thief who knows only one rule: steal to survive. When she breaks into the Imperial Palace, she expects to leave with a bag full of gold. Instead, she stumbles into the Emperor’s forbidden chamber and finds herself face-to-face with the monster himself. But just as death seems inevitable, a single drop of Vera’s blood falls, and the impossible happens. The scent of her blood doesn't drive him to kill; it calms him. Her touch doesn't burn; it freezes. Due to a mysterious artifact she swallowed as a child, Vera is the only living antidote to Kassian’s curse. For the first time, the Tyrant sleeps—but only if she is in his arms. Now, Vera is no longer a thief but a prisoner in the Emperor’s bed. She is his medicine, his obsession, and his only lifeline. Trapped in a palace full of enemies who want her dead and a monster who craves her very essence, Vera must find a way to escape. But as Kassian’s hunger turns from blood to desire, she realizes that the safest place in the kingdom might be the most dangerous place of all: the Tyrant's embrace.
