This is a place where everyone can become a God. Han Wu was a Divine Being whose parents went missing when he was young. He lived with his grandfather until he was eighteen when he first received his core race. Unfortunately he was cursed with misfortune. Not only did his grandfather pass away but he also received one of the weakest core races, the locusts. After suffering much humiliation from the bullies and being ignored by largely everyone, he took his life. Little did he know however the end of his life was also the start of someone else. An unknown soul from the modern civilization reincarnated in his body. Taking on his name and body, “Han Wu” started clawing his way upward to become strong enough to search for his missing parents as per the will of his dead grandfather as well as staking his claim in this large world. Official: A civilization where everyone can become Gods. Myriads of civilizations ranging from tranquil worlds to outright brutal hellscapes. Civilizations where goblins, orcs, angels, demons, undead, and all manner of life forms flourished. Wielding his locusts as his loyal subjects, Han Wu swore to take advantage of every civilization and become strong enough to protect everything he loved.

“Time is knowledge, and history is knowledge, but oftentimes a mystery of knowledge and the epitome of time. And madness eats when one consumes by it. As such, time is but motion, for the moment you move, your hand creates past, present and to the future.” –Archsage Azageis– Time is not a river. It is a road… and everyone walks it without knowing where it ends. Invited— when Natalak is drawn from his world and set upon that road, he is not given a mission or a crown but free will of choosing. He instead, he is placed into Vashkeil, a land governed by systems older than morality itself. Vashkeil is a land of guilds, gods, and empires bound together by trade, magic, and fragile balance. As wars rise and ancient forces stir, and unseen mechanism turns, Natalak moves through the conflict himself moving through wars he did not begin and decisions he cannot escape. It follows a man who doesn’t seek power. Rather, he seeks understanding. This is not a tale of conquest, but of traversal. And on this travel draws many things. The Traveler’s Time is a slow-burning epic about existence, consequence, and the cost of asking “why.”. It tells a man who walks the road between law and chaos, fate and destiny, searching for meaning in a world where every answer carries a cost. The Traveller's Time and the world of Vashkeil are inspired and influence by classic CRPGs such as Baldur's Gate I & II, Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale, and other classic role-playing games, as well as the atmosphere and lore-driven storytelling of The Elder Scrolls.

By MoonboundInk In the year 3934, Earth stands on the edge of extinction. Centuries of human progress have solved every mystery—every disease cured, every question answered—yet peace has never been more distant. From the shadows of the Moon, an ancient extraterrestrial species awakens, claiming Earth as their birthplace and humanity as the infection that must be erased. Amid the wreckage of collapsing cities and burning skies, Danial, a lone survivor, runs from both death and destiny. Hunted by alien forces that bend the very laws of nature, he discovers a truth buried deep beneath humanity’s triumphs — one that ties his existence to the Moonborn invaders themselves. Now, in a world consumed by chaos, Danial must choose between survival and sacrifice, between the remnants of humanity and the origins of the species that doomed it. Because the war for Earth isn’t about domination anymore — it’s about who deserves to live.

Now, he is the only thing standing between our world and Tormaan, a demonic Asura warlord fueled by the corrupt essence of supreme dark matter AKA anti-god element. From the shadows of the cosmos, the immortal "Dark Sage" Shukracharya pulls the strings, seeking to plunge both the earthly realm and the celestial heavens into eternal night.

"This is a world-first story. The history is the story. Stay with it." The world has ended before. Not in myth. Not in metaphor. It ended completely — gods unmade reality reaching for something they were never meant to hold, and existence corrected itself the only way it knows how. It took fifty thousand years to forget. Another hundred thousand to rebuild. It is about to happen again. This is not one story. It is many — stitched together across millennia, told through the eyes of those who lived inside a world that carries its own wounds forward. A nameless being waking in a summoning circle, learning what it means to exist. A woman who hesitated when she should have fought, and traded a year of her life for knowledge that is quietly unmaking her. A girl in an apothecary being handed a promise she doesn't yet understand. They do not know each other. Not exactly. But the world remembers. It always remembers. Stay long enough and you will see how the threads connect — how every choice echoes, how every name given in love becomes a weight carried forward, how the pattern emerging beneath the history is not a mystery to be solved but a wound that never fully closed. Knowledge is the weapon. History is the scar. And somewhere in the silence between chapters — You will realize you already care.

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. You survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self-made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies through every kind of conceivable catastrophe. ———————— I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

They hailed him as a genius. They branded him a disgrace. But no one knew... Hanasta was the apocalypse they unleashed. In the slums of Sylvaine Macarena, beneath the shadows of a floating empire, lies Special Proctor Gildas—a brutal academy where the brightest minds are forged into weapons for Empyrean Zielle, the sky world that rules them all. Hanasta, a forgotten prodigy, becomes the school’s pariah. But as whispers of his true nature surface, so does an ancient force—older than the stars, ready to burn the world to ash. He is no hero. He is no victim. He is the calamity. The countdown to humanity's final starfall has begun.

19 years ago, dungeons appeared out of thin air, throwing the whole world into a panic. After getting accustomed to this new world, a new job called ‘hunter’ emerged.

Sometimes, things aren’t what they make themselves to be.

He had nothing left to lose. Until life gave him a second chance. Arlan is only thirteen years old, but he already knows how cruel the world can be. After losing his mother, his home, and the only family he ever had, Arlan is left to survive on his own. He learns to steal, run, hide, and never depend on anyone. In a city that barely notices his existence, becoming a pickpocket is not just a way to survive—it becomes his escape from a life he no longer wants to remember. But his quiet life in the shadows changes when Maria, a determined young police officer, begins hunting him. What starts as a pursuit of a mysterious teenage pickpocket slowly uncovers the painful story behind the boy they are chasing. A lost mother. An orphanage he never considered home. A childhood that disappeared too quickly. And a life that gradually turned him into someone who no longer believes he belongs anywhere. When Arlan is finally captured, the chase is far from over. He is sent to a strict juvenile rehabilitation center, where rules, violence, rivalries, and power struggles await him. There, he meets people who challenge him, watch him, use him, and eventually betray him. And in the middle of that world, Arlan's life comes to an end. But death is not the end of his story. Arlan awakens in a completely different world—a world of magic, swords, kingdoms, monsters, and powers beyond anything he has ever known. And for the first time, life gives him something he never expected to have again: A family. An old, white-haired grandmother living in a simple hut deep within the forest, together with her three grandchildren. They are kind. They care about him. They give him a place to sleep, food to eat, and something Arlan has not had for a very long time—a place he can return to. But accepting kindness is not easy for someone like Arlan. He has spent years learning not to trust anyone. He has grown accustomed to living alone, keeping everyone at a distance, and believing that every form of affection will eventually disappear. His new family may be willing to give him a home. But can Arlan learn to believe that he truly belongs there? And after everything he lost in his first life— will Arlan finally find happiness in his new one?

For Joric, a soul who had clawed his way out of the hellish reality of the 41st Millennium, any new world was a paradise by comparison. After all, what fate could be more hopeless than being cast into the galaxy-spanning nightmare of the Imperium of Man? He had no divine blessing, no unnatural psychic gift—nothing but his own wits—and was born into the polluted, sunless depths of a hive city's underhive. Yet, through sheer grit and a fervent devotion to the Machine God, he ascended from the grime to become a Tech-Priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus. It was on an archeotech recovery mission, deep in the ruins of a forgotten age, that he made contact with a strange, ancient device. In a flash of impossible energy, he was hurled across the veil of reality to a world uncannily similar to the lost Terra of ancient legend. For a fleeting moment, Joric believed the Omnissiah had guided him home. He was wrong. He soon discovered this world was not the cradle of humanity, but a rain-slicked dystopia of chrome, neon, corporate overlords, and digital ghosts. This was a cyberpunk reality, and his grimdark tale was just beginning.

On an infinitely chaotic, dimensional battlefield… Uchiha Madara, his gaze filled with contempt, activates his Susanoo. "You wish to dance, too?" Ryomen Sukuna stands with his hands in his pockets. "You're the challenger here." Aizen Sōsuke slicks back his hair with a single motion. "From this moment forward, I will stand at the top." The bald Saitama just scratches his head, completely lost on what is happening. Having lost her signature ahoge, Saber Alter frantically swings Excalibur Morgan in a chaotic frenzy. Amidst the pandemonium, an immense and powerful chakra erupts from within Kaito Shirogane. His eyes lower slightly as a smile plays on his lips. "My apologies, everyone," he says. "It seems... I'm the real monster here." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Genre Tags: [Anime Multiverse + Overpowered MC + Game-like System] (The story focuses on anime-based worlds, but also includes worlds from film and other novels.)

In the wake of the bloody skirmishes between the Planetary Defense Forces (PDF) and the Traitor Guard, the war-torn surface of the Hive World is littered with the "expended" assets of the God-Emperor. While others see only corpses and ruin, Kian Voss, a scavenger blessed with the "Scavenge-Strike-Extract" System, sees a golden opportunity to strip the land bare. A discarded Lasgun from a fallen guardsman? Claimed. It’s loaded with Mark III Overcharge Packs. A set of scorched Carapace Armor? Stripped. That’s Grade-4 reinforced plate. The Bolt Pistol of a dead Commissar? Emperor's Mercy! It’s chambered with Grade-5 Kraken Penetrators! A wrecked Leman Russ Battle Tank? Pry open the hull—he’s just salvaged a Master-crafted Archaeotech Power Cell! Everything goes back to his Underhive Sanctum. By trading with hive-gang syndicates and black-market contacts, Kian exchanges his loot for construction materials to fortify his base. From his hidden workshop, he manufactures Artificer-pattern Stubbers and High-output Power Cells. Clad in his own customized Power Armor, Kian Voss spearheads the assault against the heretic. His goal? To farm enough "Favor of the Emperor" to eventually ascend to the foot of the Golden Throne itself!

A girl named Red wants to exact her revenge on a man who has ruined her life; she continues her search accompanied by her companion, Alice. They are no ordinary humans; they are ‘Fables’—the name given to those who possess a weapon called ‘Everafter’, a weapon whose capabilities sometimes defy human understanding. They will be given missions by Mother, and whilst carrying out these missions, they will encounter many other Fables who will become both friends and foes. Life as a Fable does not guarantee a dignified existence or widespread popularity; they will frequently encounter people who dislike them. And they must continue to survive despite being hated by people they do not even know.

A young boy dies a tragic death and is granted 3 wishes. He chooses to be reborn in MHA with the Telekinesis as his quirk and the potential to achieve Absolute Mastery and Power over his ability. The MC will be overpowered and there will be some dark elements. The novel will be quite realistic in the context of the MHA world. The MC will be cruel to his enemies and kind to those he cares about. There will be romance and potential for a harem of 7 people. I plan to continue with this hopefully until the end of MHA canon. I aim to upload chapters of about 2k words, and I hope people enjoy this fanfic. I'm open to any suggestions and criticism on how I could improve, but please no hate for no reason. The first few chapters are quite dark, but it gets better after that, so please stick around till then. MHA and any of the characters in it do not belong to me.

The boys summoned from Earth were meant to be heroes. Instead, they became slaves. Branded as expendable weapons by the empire that summoned them, the group later known as the Strays survives through rebellion, escape, and bloodshed. Freedom comes at a cost—and now powerful nobles, mercenary orders, and kingdoms hunt the runaway summons who were never meant to live. Armed with stolen magic and hard-earned scars, the Strays travel a continent consumed by war, searching for one impossible prize: a way back to Earth. But in a world that profits from their existence, escaping may mean tearing down the very empires that control it.
