I am currently in Konoha and have just become Orochimaru's apprentice. "So, is the Sharingan's transformation from one tomoe to two or three tomoe due to genetic mutation, or something else?" Staring at the restrained Uchiha test subject in front of him, Kenichi Amamiya's eyes shine with intense curiosity. Orochimaru silently accepts the thick stack of pages in his hand, titled “Research Report on the Impact of Soul Reincarnation on the Body.” When Orochimaru receives a paper titled “Research Report on the Impact of Soul Reincarnation on the Body” from his disciple, only one thought crosses his mind: This kid is even more dangerous than I am

In a world veiled in enigma. Ruled by distant gods and eldritch entities had its story set in stone. An ode began to form. It wasn't in the concept that flourish instantly.

Would you like to see a new perspective and begin to love the 'Original' once more? How far would you cross between the border of a canon and a fiction? "Lord of Mysteries: Goddess of Origin."

"So naive, Melanie. So stupid." Those were the last words I heard before a bullet ended my life. Betrayed by my best friend and murdered by the man she loved, I thought the darkness of death was final. Instead, I woke up inside a web novel. Not as the beloved heroine. Not even as a lucky side character. I opened my eyes as **Seraphina Helene Valemont**—the spoiled, doomed villainess destined to be brutally executed for treason by her own husband, the notoriously cold and terrifying Duke Draven Everfrost. Armed with complete knowledge of the original plot, my survival strategy was simple: 1. Avoid making fatal mistakes. 2. Avoid the high-society enemies. 3. Above all else, **AVOID THE DUKE.** Except, the story refuses to follow the script. The monstrous Duke who was supposed to despise me is suddenly dragging me out of blood wars, tossing me swords to fight my own battles, and lazily controlling my limbs with dark magic just to mock my executioners. The events I memorized by heart are fracturing. Deeply buried political secrets are clawing their way to the surface, and the future I relied on changes with every passing sunrise. As deadly conspiracies threaten the empire and old legends refuse to stay buried, I am caught between a fate I desperately need to escape… and a demon masquerading as a man whom I was never supposed to trust. But the deeper I dig into the dark history of the North, the more terrifying one question becomes: *What if the most dangerous thing in this story was never the villainess?* Because some monsters are not born. Some monsters choose to chain themselves. And some names should have remained forgotten. **[MISSION UPDATE: SURVIVE.]** **[WARNING: ORIGINAL STORYLINE HAS DEVIATED.]** **[WARNING: UNKNOWN ENTITY DETECTED.]** **[CURRENT RISK LEVEL: CRITICAL.]** --- **~Author's Note:~** *First time writing a long, serialized story!

Dublin, 2130. 18-year-old James Ganner has nothing—no money, no future, no escape from the slums that killed his father and broke his mother. Then the System activates. [You have been selected.

“Life is nothing but a cruel game… and we are its unwilling players.” — Ethan Heart --- After living a miserable life cornered from every direction, Ethan expected nothing good from the world anymore. He was a failure .. good at nothing. A burden. Treated like human trash by society. And yet… he was exceptional at one thing. Games. That single talent earned him a name as the owner of one of the most prominent games streaming channels in the scene. Sheltered within his safe space as a gaming addict, Ethan never imagined his life would be turned upside down— The moment he became the first person in history to finish the impossible game… Ordeal. A dark Souls-like RPG with brutal, unforgiving difficulty and a living world that punished players for every mistake. “I saw the ending to the game no one was able to clear. But, when I came to my senses, I was inside of the game” The story of Ordeal was one of despair. The Apocalypse descended. And the Night Lord shattered the Light into fragments. The Curse of Night spread across the world, corrupting all living things—twisting them into grotesque abominations known as Night Walkers, monsters that ravaged everything in their path. In this ruined world, a select group of humans awakened powers resembling game systems. To survive, they must slay monsters, absorb souls, and grow stronger in a merciless world that devours the weak. Ethan became the final summoned player. Forced to walk through Ordeal once again... This time not as a gamer… But as a participant. He must reach the ending that none before him could attain. “No matter how impossible it seems… I will conquer this game...!” Armed with complete knowledge of the world’s secrets, the instincts of a veteran player .. And the forbidden pact he forged with a Devil .. Ethan begins his journey. ... Join the Discord for character illustrations and more : discord: https://discord.gg/uNrXRgS3Xb

My life took yet another turn when my mind was broken into dust. I was mended by a veritable miracle that granted my Damon to get back. Number four was now the whole new version of him. Our life, as perfect as it seems, showed me cruelty when three of my cubs died. Pack had lost something. Destiny took us apart only to get together in the new way of life.

The world did not end in fire. It rotted. Civilization collapsed overnight. Cities fell, demons descended, the dead began walking - not mindlessly, but under a growing, forced will. Vincent, an ordinary man drowning in debt, clung to fragile hope. Then, hell arrived - he became something worse than a victim. A mysterious zombie virus descended, but Vincent did not turn. He awakened as a carrier. He became the first infected - a Progenitor. Every life claimed by the virus strengthens him...and stains his soul. He walks a razor's edge between savior and catastrophe. Survival is sin and requires everything. Venturing into ruins, facing demons, and making impossible choices - there is no good choice. No gain. No winning or losing. No choosing the good. Only choosing the lesser evil. Meanwhile, trust fractures. Humanity's last forces are not as united as they appear. Ghosts of the past hunt them. False grief hides calculated malice. While they battle demons, something far more terrifying has already infiltrated among them. Factions rise, hidden powers awaken. One question looms over the ruins of the world. Can a man who commands the dead still save the living - or will he become the very end he fears? Hopes are fading. The role of humanity seems insignificant. And the end? Certain. In the shadows, unknown forces are at bay. Bound by the universal rules at the moment, restrained. But time is ticking. The day draws near. What fate awaits humanity and the world once the chains break and the mysterious forces can act freely?

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.

Love. Hate. Revenge. Before she was the High Alpha's daughter, Maya was an orphan named Penelope—and Marcus Keenan was the boy who gave her his locket and promised to marry her... until she was torn from him. Taken by High Alpha Vilhelm, everyone, including Marcus, was told she died. Years later, Marcus returns from the recent war a hero—now Alpha Keenan—with power, lands, and the right to choose any woman as his mate. He takes Maya—the same girl who made his life miserable before he left. He doesn't recognize her as Penelope with the locket long gone. To him, she is cruel, two-faced, and an expert at manipulation. What he doesn't know is that Maya's cruelty was forced, a mask she wore to both protect him and survive. Now trapped in a marriage born of revenge, she must decide. Stay silent and play the part, or reveal who she truly is…before it’s too late. —— Excerpt “This marriage is fake,” Maya said. She should be happy but why did it hurt so much? “Fake?” Keenan frowned and closed the gap between them. He wrapped a palm around her neck, and Maya gasped but no sound left her throat. “Is this another ploy to escape me?” “Isn’t it fake?” Maya whispered, holding his hand, trying to ease his grip. It was getting hard to breathe. Her voice betrayed her, too hopeful even to her own ears. He stared with such hatred, yet a part of her didn’t want it to be fake. Keenan threw his head back and laughed, yet his grip on her neck never wavered. “Woman, surely this must be a joke. You think I would orchestrate a fake marriage with you?” He leaned closer, eyes locked on hers. “You undermine my hatred. I want you bound to me forever. I want you to hate every moment of your life and I will be right here to make sure of it. You can never escape me.” Keenan released her neck. She dropped to the floor, rubbing her throat as she finally drew a full breath. “Fake marriage? Don’t be ridiculous. Even your father couldn’t get you away from me.”

Amidst this chaos, Adrian stands on the edge of the abyss between life and death, trapped between a dark fate and an uncertain destiny. His life has never been fair, and his pain is not a fleeting feeling—it is a path paved with betrayal and treachery. Will he become a criminal or remain a victim?

‘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?
