In a world where every person possesses a floating book that grants them power at a cost, Arthur Kura lives an ordinary life in the city of Gruse, fascinated more by novels and philosophy than the strange system surrounding him. But beneath the ordinary world lies a mystery surrounding the Cruix—the colossal book that governs every other book in existence. When Arthur becomes entangled with the Regans, a powerful organization guarding secrets far older than anyone realizes, his life begins to unravel. As friendships, memories, abilities, and identities become increasingly uncertain, Arthur is drawn into a conspiracy that reaches far beyond Gruse. Somewhere in the world, someone is attempting to connect the books of humanity itself. And if every book can be linked, the rules of Cruix may be rewritten

Fall in love, get married, maybe have a couple of kids, and complain about life like a normal person. Reality disagreed. At twenty-five, he had confessed to one hundred girls and been rejected by every single one. “Sorry, you’re a good guy, but…” “You’re more like a brother to me…” “I think you deserve someone better.” He had heard every variation. Every excuse. Every polite rejection that stabbed just as sharply as a blunt knife. By the end of it, Lin Feng no longer feared failure. He expected it. After a night of drowning his sorrows, he woke up in a cultivation world. And somehow… he became a teacher again. “Mentor Lin Feng, could you guide me?” Lin Feng stood frozen. Because surrounding him were not ordinary women, but goddesses, fairies, and proud maidens whose beauty could topple kingdoms. He looked up at the heavens, his expression complicated. “…Are you messing with me?” He clenched his fist. “No. I didn’t come here for romance.” “I just want to teach.” The heavens, however… Had other plans.

"Fanaticism?" Minerva glanced at him and sighed heavily, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand before looking from the boy back to him. "Oh, Severus. You simply cannot understand." Severus shook off his confusion and went closer to Potter's bedside. "Lupin. A word." Naturally, the werewolf tore his eyes away from Potter and blinked at Snape as if he were mad for interrupting. As if he could somehow save the boy just by staring at him and petting him. "Now," Snape growled, jerking his head. Thank God it wasn't Black, the stubborn mutt would have refused just for the sake of it. But Lupin did get up slowly and follow Snape out of Dumbledore's earshot. "What is it, Severus?"

When the Midnight gate open, creatures of the dark flood into the world—beings that only Daemonists, summoners of astral entities, can kill. Shaan awakens as one. But instead of a normal ability, his System grants him a unique skill: [Aspira Ignis] — Power rises with the user’s fighting will. Side Effect: Insanity Level increases. In his first life-or-death battle, the skill ignites, saving his allies… but pushing his mind toward madness. To survive, Shaan must control the power— or the power will consume him from within.

Jin Yeong lived an ordinary life. He worked an ordinary job, went home to an ordinary apartment, and was the kind of man nobody ever remembered. That all changed the day the sky cracked open over Seoul. A voice echoed across the world, mocking humanity's weakness. Monsters flooded the streets, cities fell in a single night, and every survivor was given a skill to fight back. Some awakened the power to control fire, lightning, or the earth itself. Jin awakened Limitless Weapon Mastery, a skill that let him use any weapon at its full potential and nothing more. Without magic or special powers, he seemed to have drawn the weakest hand of all. But in a world where survival meant fighting with whatever was within reach, Jin soon discovered that his skill held far more than anyone expected. With nothing but his skill and the will to protect the people beside him, Jin began his journey through a broken world, where anything he holds can kill.

In high school life, a student named Lee Hyun-woo, who just wants to live a normal life like others, has to accept a different reality. The world feels like something is moving it, unlike the real world. Day by day, week by week, or even almost year after year. Time continued to pass until he finally found out the truth behind it, how cruel and dark the real world was out there, far from the normal world he had imagined. The world is actually different, but what about Lee Hyun-woo's own origins? Will he accept reality as who he really is, or will he end his life like everyday life haunted by his emptiness?

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

“Please send me back to the past.” If he cannot not kill that person in this era, he just needs to go back to the past. The man used the “Great Regression Technique” to cross time, going back to the past he desired so much. The “Unrivaled Swordsman” who had lost everything, his family, friends, and life. This is his first step to taking his revenge.

That time when I got isekai'd into the body of an Assassin Pathway boatswain of Vice Admiral Ailment Tracy, and got the Assassin System. Clearly, there was only one thing for me to do, digest the potions, and switch to Iron Blooded Knight of the Red Priest Pathway as soon as possible. Everything that happened in between is just a story to tell. There will be pirate hunting. __________ What to expect [content warning]: Gender bending, double gender bending, Yuri. __________ There will be lots of spoilers here, for LotM and COI both. Lomers don't argue, it'll always be Lord of the Mysteries, not Lord of Mysteries (coping) __________ Not* a translation. No AI slop. Never will be.

“This novel is based on a killer on earth.

Thank you for your support.”

She was never chosen to save the world — she was forged to survive it. Etani is a half-fae assassin who understands the rules of survival: power is taken, mercy is punished, and every victory has a cost. She was never meant to be a heroine — only a weapon. When fate drags her from the shadows into the heart of political and divine conflict, Etani is stripped of her power, betrayed by courts and gods alike, and forced into leadership she never wanted. Each battle reshapes her. Each choice costs her something she cannot replace. As assassinations give way to crowns, and kingdoms become bargaining chips for gods, Etani must navigate brutal power struggles, shifting alliances, and enemies who would rather break her than kill her. Survival demands sacrifice. Power demands blood. And destiny does not care who it destroys along the way. This is a dark epic fantasy of ruthless survival, morally complex choices, and a female lead who does not seek redemption — only control over the chaos determined to consume her. For readers who enjoy dark fantasy, morally grey protagonists, and stories where power is both weapon and curse, Etani is a completed 12-book saga of transformation, vengeance, and the thin line between predator and prey. Content Warning: This series contains graphic violence, sexual content, torture, murder, cannibalism, domestic and sexual abuse, mental illness (including depression and suicidality), abortion, and miscarriage.

In a ruined future where the government now sells basic needs, Aléssio, a boy born with a beauty that was ethereal, yet didn't have a fate as wonderful as his looks and appearance did, decided to join a mysterious program named "Saviors", a technological project that would grant people powers to make a better world. Just as everything is going smoothly, fate decides to lead him back to Cassandra, a girl who once saved him and later shattered his world. The deeper he ventured into the program, the more twisted the truth becomes. Who is Dr. Aurèle, the man who shares the same face and an almost identical name despite existing in this timeline ? And why do people grow more and more corrupted day by day ? To survive and discover the hidden truth, Aléssio must face his past, overcome the worst version of himself, fight not only for the world, but for the people he loves. Because the greatest threat was never the corrupted nor the government... but something far closer. ------- Disc : This author is just a young student and is working for a boss called school. Because of that, I usually post a chapter each week unless there's exam—resulting chapters post for maybe 2 weeks or more. Also, English isn't my first language so there will be a lot or maybe some grammar error. If you'd like to share feedbacks, suggestions, or writing tips, feel free to leave it in the comment. I prefer to continue interacting in this platform and I'm not comfortable with sharing personal contact information. This story contains dark uncomfortable scenes including violence, murder, and character's death. Please read it at your comfort level! I will be posting this story at both Webnovel and Royal Road. That's all. Hope you enjoy ;)

In the primordial plane of Aetherium Prime, where thought, will, and energy shape reality itself, the balance of existence begins to fracture. At the center of this cosmic upheaval are Lognos (L2) and Eli Ragual (R2)—twin brothers born from a forbidden union between a celestial Saintess and a heretical scientist-mystic. Their existence defies the laws of creation, and their potential may surpass even the gods who govern reality. But ancient forces move against them. Cain, progenitor of the Vampire Lords, seeks to perfect his three bloodlines and create the ultimate immortal being capable of ruling the cosmos. Opposing him stands Necros Babel, the first Undying Necromancer, who believes the only way to restore balance is to erase Cain—and the corruption he created—from existence itself. As L2 and R2 awaken their inner worlds and confront the Nine Singularities of existence, they are drawn into a war between those who rule reality… and those who dare to create it. Their choice will decide the fate of the universe: Domination. Erasure. Or a new path beyond both

They called the Abyss a place where even gods disappeared. Across kingdoms and ruined lands, hunters chase whispers of an unknown existence tied to vanishings, distortions, and something darker than death itself. Meanwhile, a silent traveler walks alone through the world with no memory of who he truly is. He does not know why animals avoid him. Why the forest grows quiet around him. Why people feel something wrong before he even speaks. And he does not know the most terrifying truth of all— The being the world fears may already be walking among them. As strange forces begin noticing his existence, reality itself starts reacting in ways it cannot explain. Hunters close in. Ancient powers awaken. And somewhere beyond the edges of the known world, something waits for him to remember. But the human body he walks in is only a vessel. And if what sleeps inside it fully awakens— the world may not survive it. Nihilfire Reborn: God on a Vessel — A dark atmospheric fantasy about identity, restrained destruction, and a presence the world was never meant to contain.

Mature Content... 1996, the world was still analog, disconnected, and blissfully unaware of the digital storm on the horizon. For Marvin Meyers, soon to be eleven-year-old prodigy with the souls of an ancient, -hungry Incubus, and a modern man it is the ultimate hunting ground. ​Armed with the memories of a future where tech giants rule and entertainment is the new religion, Marvin doesn't just want to be a star—he wants to own the sky. From the "plagiarism" of legendary works to the strategic acquisition of the world's most undervalued IPs, Marvin begins a cold, calculated climb to the top. ​While his classmates at his elite L.A. school worry about grades, Marvin is busy recruiting a young Mark Zuckerberg, filing predatory tech patents, and building a multi-national empire that spans the US, Japan, South Korea, and China. In a world fueled by human desire, there is no greater predator than an Incubus who knows exactly what the future wants before it even exists. Marvin Meyers died a lazy brat, but he woke up as something much more dangerous. With the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis looming and the Dot-com bubble about to hiss, Marvin has a four-year window to become rich enough to get his hands on one of the big seven. Joy, anger, lust, sorrow, and happiness are all desires and emotions. As long as these emotions are directed at me, they can become nourishment for my spiritual practice. Okay, let's see what reliable ways there are in this world that can stir up a lot of people's emotions? Hmm, writer, that's good; umm, music, that's also good; wow, Hollywood movies, reaching the whole world, that's fantastic! Looks like I need to become a plagiarist... what's that word again? Right, a copyist. I'll start as a writer, and my ultimate goal is to become an international star. What? You mean acting skills? I'm a Incubus! --- Additional tags: Heavy harem, smut, possessive characters, smart mc, sudden strength gain, lust emotion and desire -based power system, no yuri, no netorare. A/N:- Story and smut are well balanced. You won't feel bored if you have come for either of the two or maybe both.

In 2028, the Abyss invaded, accompanied by the arrival of Extraordinary Power, bringing Blue Star into the era of universal awakening. Chu Xiu, a transmigrator who inherits the Infinite Saint Dao Sect, looks at the insane Demonic Secret Techniques before him and falls into contemplation.

And he quickly discovers that those Abyss creatures work exceptionally well for crafting Demonic Artifacts. Most importantly, their number was almost inexhaustible!
