Those who dare challenge the throne of the gods. In a world where the gods and the holy race arbitrarily oppress other beings, a low-class demon named Leon Astaroth dies as bait on the battlefield. But death is not the end. On the brink of destruction, his ancestor, Satan, who led the resistance against the gods millions of years ago, awakens within him. Leon survives. But salvation is only the beginning of trouble. One of the holy races, the angelic race, kidnaps Sylvaine, the princess of the kingdom of Belphegor, whom he loves. His kingdom is destroyed. His kin are scattered. And within him, Satan continues to whisper, offering power at a price he doesn't yet understand. Joining Varavium, an underground organization founded to resurrect Satan, Leon must collect ancient artifacts and face an enemy he never imagined. But the further he goes, the more he realizes that challenging the Heavenly Throne isn't just about strength. It's about sacrifice. It's about the price he must pay. And that price... may be too high.

[A depressed boy clings to a game and its demon slayer protagonist for his life until the game's world becomes reality and he embarks a determined journey to change protagonist's ending that should have never happened.] Johann had already given up on reality long before it began to collapse. The only thing that kept him going was a game, The Mayhem, and its silent, unstoppable protagonist: the Hellraider. Then the game became real. Monsters, death, and destruction—everything unfolded exactly as he remembered. But Johann didn’t enter this world to survive. He came for one reason: to follow Hellraider… and change the ending that should have never happened. Yet the more he walks that path, the more the world begins to break away from what he knows. Events shift. Truths contradict. And the figure he once believed he understood refuses to be defined by anything, not even the story itself. In a world where even fate is unstable, Johann continues forward, even when he no longer knows what he is chasing. *The entire story is completed. New chapter will be published regularly.*

They say that 90 percent of the world's oceans have been unexplored, due to just how much floor there is to cover. Imagine a world where, instead of deep trenches of water, our oceans were filled with forests—endless forests—where the further you go, the stranger, and larger the creatures become. The air growing thicker, and heavier, with the stinging sharpness of ozone; trees that stretch into the stratosphere, or bottomless muddy quagmires that are so deep that the bodies claimed can never be discovered; deer the size of whales, or bigger still, with an anomalous number of legs; the oppressive daytime darkness, never ending, due to the boundless appetite of the trees. Who knows what untold methods of ravenous mutilation might be discovered in the great beyond; or what unfathomable treasures lurk just beyond the shadow's edge. We find ourselves marooned in little islands of flat plain in the midst of miles and endless miles of oppressive wooded wilderness. Do not let the sunlight fool you. There is nothing keeping the terrors of the depths from venturing into the light.

Commissars - or Ministorum Priests of War - are the soul of any Astra Militarum regiment. They lead by example and hold the absolute standard. A soul from another world inexplicably takes up the role of probationary commissar in the grim darkness of the far future. His world is a brutal death-world battlefield. His regiment has been surrounded by Chaos traitors and is fighting for survival. Duvette looks at the System before him called "Soul of the Legion" and makes one decision: he is going to live. "What do you mean an Astra Militarum soldier ripped a Chaos Astartes' head off with his bare hands?!" "You're saying you have three hundred thousand mortal troops as powerful as the Custodes?" Guilliman looked at the man before him. "No. Stronger." A hundred years later "I am the Emperor's will. We are the hammer that crushes the xenos. We are the blade that pierces Chaos. We bring eternal death to the enemies of mankind, and mankind shall know true victory." Eternal Imperial Warmaster, Lord of the Sun, Humanity's Sole Consul, Augustus, Guardian of the Galaxy, Marshal Duvette. Progression: Commissar — Senior Commissar — Lord Commissar. Then: trophy worlds, legion-building, power fantasy in the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium.

Mankind prospered in the modern age, but one day, everything changed. Mana descended onto the world, making a permanent change to society. Alongside it was also the appearance of monsters invading the world from the sky and from below. Gods pitied mankind and bestowed divine bloodlines, creating superhuman people called the Supernals who can fend off the invaders. But not everyone who became a Supernal is suited for the role. Those people are pariahs that don't belong anywhere, especially when there are quotas for each divine bloodline. In a world where society revolves around those with divine bloodlines, Kai is a Supernal with the lowest talent. He doesn't fit with normal people and is too ordinary to mingle with Supernals. He was ostracized for hogging a slot in a divine legacy, and his only family suffered for it. But Kai isn't weak. It's just that nothing could properly check his bloodline. [Primordial Bloodline awakened] [Patron God: Goddess of the Primordial Night] Now, with the bloodline of the final night inside him, he will bring terror to those who wronged him. However, there's one big problem that he hadn't realized. -- Bonus Chapters will depend on your votes: Power Stones, golden tickets, gifts, or even comments and reviews if the mood is great! 150 Power Stones: 1 extra chapter!

Teras, The Son of The Snake, has been forced to face a world his predecessor's sought to end. Now his only goal is to cleanse this world, one enemy at a time.

‘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?

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.

The world ended the day God descended. The Human Emperor vanished. His nine subordinates fell. And the seas began to rot, filling the air with a corrosive stench of decay. Grey awakens in a world where cultivation is war—and mercy is extinction. Ancient techniques twist the body. Forbidden arts consume the soul. And divinity hunts anything that dares to rise. But within Grey’s heart lies something even the Gods did not foresee... A path beyond light and darkness. A path of Nihility, where inner realities fracture the heavens, and existence itself can be rewritten. If he ascends, the Gods will fall. If he fails, the world will drown in its own decay. In a world abandoned by heaven, he will either ascend. Or become the end of all things

The world began with snow. Or at least, that’s how he remembers it. He woke with every jewel that should have made him whole. Eyes that could see. Ears that caught every sound. A beating heart. Breath that burned in his lungs. Yet the things beneath them, the ones that made him who he was, had vanished. His name. His past. Even the memory of how he came to be there. He learned quickly that winter showed no mercy. The cold didn’t care who he had been. It only cared whether he kept moving. Survival became his only language. And instinct,his only parent. He wrapped himself in clothes abandoned by strangers whose faces he would never know, and walked among trees that bore the weight of the dead. But the cold was never what frightened him. It was the water. Whenever a river whispered through the trees, an instinct older than memory tightened around his heart, urging him to break or flee. As if something waited beyond its banks. As if he had already crossed it once… …and never truly came back. Now, the search for his identity has become something far more terrifying. Because before he can discover who he is… he must uncover what could erase a man’s past… without erasing the man.

Three heroes survived the death of their world. Now they hunt the things that devour worlds whole. Sinephilim, Rhenvar, and Willow should have died with their home. Instead, the Goddess of Shadow offers them an impossible mission: leap from world to world, save each one, and gather the divine power that might restore everything they lost. But something else moves between worlds. Worldeaters. Beings who shattered their own destined stories and now consume Worldhearts for power beyond the Gods. Stopping them means surviving romance novels, superhero comics, and nightmares made real, each one twisted by those who defied fate. And the line between savior and Worldeater is thinner than anyone admits. Each hero carries wounds deeper than their magic, wounds that open and tempt them to one question… Who are the real villains? (18+ contains gore, torture, suicide, and psychological trauma. Reader discretion advised.)

Life is like a path that never reaches its end. Even when your heart gives up and your death is preordained that long winded path never truly stops. It still stretches far past you, being a stark reminder of what could have been. This road you walk represents your actions, accomplishments, wants and beliefs. The embodiment of every living being. Just hearing these words thrills the mind with many questions, but what if your life is to scoff at, that down this endless road you never achieved a thing. A speck of dust in billions, seemingly ordinary to all accounts. That’s what worried my mind that day when I woke up, as I felt startled by the incoherent dream that didn’t represent my current life. Only to be pushed down a dark alley of mysteries, conspiracies that boggled one to ask what they had gotten themselves into, what inexplicable future awaited them, down these unfathomable roads that everyone walked. All towards the same end, the same questions. Of what it means to be alive. Of what it means to be you.

Aneouz was just a teen boy, standing at the edge of life. Everything he wanted was already gone. Everyone he loved turned to ash. Actions had no value to him. He moved with no motive. Then one day, the world, or fate, decided to take what little remained. The day he realized it: everyone who loved him, everyone he loved... all gone. Left him alone. In a world of billions, how come no one can love us? Everyone just loves power and follows it. They don’t love peace. `I’m going to become strong enough that they’ll have to recognize I exist in this world.` `I’m going to carve my own path. One with none of their morality.` But in the dark, even he has one question left: *`Does this darkness ever turn into light?`*
