He almost died once, lost a few friends, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning.

And wide."

The first vampire, Cain, ruled over the continent of Rampiel, the land of blood, with an iron fist. For hundreds of years, he fought battles against the humans to rid them from his land, to which he succeeded. However, Cain's arrogance grew with his recent victory. He believed himself to be far more superior to the humans, which drove him to attack Seraphim, the continent of humans, with all his might. After decades of war, Cain eventually disappeared completely, which led to the army he brought with him to be completely eradicated from the face of the world. With a couple more years passing, humans finally took their chance to seize Rampiel for themselves, sending in mercenaries as meat shields, with the royal army following close in pursuit. Eventually, a group of mercenaries stumbled their way into restricted area, finding a crypt that would change the tides of war ever more. Updating once every other day.

In the world of Berserk, offerings marked with the Hand of God attract covetous glances and become targets for countless monsters. Nidhogg also bears this mark upon his body. However, something is wrong. Instead of merely drawing monsters to him, the mark has imbued Nidhogg with various abilities—powers granted by the Ring of Elden Ring.

Arthur Moreau disappeared during a live broadcast. No warning. No transition. No last words. One moment he was finishing a world event in front of fifty thousand viewers. The next, he was gone, and what arrived somewhere else was Gepetto: his character, his creation, the most feared Marionettist ever built in a game where power was the only language that mattered. The world that caught him is not new to collapse. Gods have existed here, and some of them have died. What stands now is only the latest arrangement of a cycle that never needed him. Elysion is a Republic in the way that a cracked foundation is still a building. The institutions function. The titles exist. But beneath the gas lamps and the steam columns and the elevated rails connecting district to district, the actual structure is simpler: those with enough power do what they want, and everyone else absorbs the cost. The working class breathes chemical residue and calls it employment. The middle class negotiates in a market that has stopped rewarding negotiation, trains for credentials that no longer open doors, and moves forward because stopping is worse. There is no king here. There are only people with enough accumulated weight to act as though the question of permission does not apply to them. The Church of the Solar God holds the whole thing together, which is not a metaphor. A population that does not share language, origin, or history requires something to organize around, and the Church understood this long before anyone thought to ask. The Solar God is not a symbol. He walks. He acts. He has reasons of his own. And now, Players have begun to appear. Not as heroes. Not as chosen figures. As variables carrying power without understanding the system they have entered. The world does not pause for them. It absorbs them, bends around them, and continues. Gepetto does not try to fight it. He studies it. While others assert themselves through force, faith, or the assumption that visibility equals strength, he builds something quieter. Not an army. Not a faction. A structure: distributed, patient, invisible until it is not. A web that does not need to be seen to function. The skills are real now. The strings are real. And what they touch does not reset. House of Puppets is a story about control, belief, and the cost of acting in a world indifferent to your intentions. It follows a man who does not seek to win, but to understand the rules well enough that losing becomes unlikely. Because the puppeteer pulls the strings. But in a world this old, someone is always watching. A word from the author: House of Puppets is built closer to a novel than a webnovel: each chapter accumulates, each arc tightens, and the end of every Volume is the destination of everything that came before it. The structure rewards patience. Tension builds and does not release until it is meant to. The ambition is simple to say and hard to earn: one day, a place among the works that defined what this genre can be. Lord of Mysteries, Reverend Insanity, ORV, Shadow Slave. I cannot promise we get there. I can promise I will give everything trying.

In the year 2030, the 'Divine Market' opened, turning the world into a game of power and debt. I was the strongest Hunter, only to be betrayed and executed by the 5% who ruled the System. Now, I have returned to the day the Market first opened. I don't want revenge. I want total ownership. While others fight for glory, I am buying the very skills they pray for. Your legendary sword? I own the patent. Your ultimate spell? I charge 90% interest. Welcome to the Era of Bankruptcy. I don't kill my enemies—I foreclose on their existence."

A generic Isekai story with no other redeeming qualities. Death is often the end of all things, a stop to the train known as life. That is common sense. But what if it wasn't?

A reincarnated soul awakens as the son of the most feared wizard of recent times. Raised amid shadows and secrets, he grows up between two forces that constantly shape him: his father's dark legacy and the unwavering light of what he wishes to protect in his new life. He forges dangerously deep bonds and faces enemies that resurface from the depths of the past. On a chessboard where wizards, ancient creatures, and old monsters silently move their pieces, he must decide what kind of wizard he will be. Will he follow in the footsteps of the monster that gave him life? Or will he rewrite the destiny of his lineage, even if it means challenging the magical world itself?

Erwin Lenox won the match. Half a million dollars. A flawless victory. The next day, he died. He awakens in Kuria, the world of the JRPG War of the Arcane World, inside the body of Lusian Douglas of Mondring—the villain the heroes must execute to fulfill divine will. But something doesn’t add up. His existence is nowhere to be found in the Book of Destiny. He isn’t a piece on the board. He’s an anomaly. As the gods watch, the continent stirs, and the heroes march toward a prewritten ending, Lusian begins to tamper with what no one should ever touch: the very structure of the world itself. Because breaking fate doesn’t mean you’re free. It means becoming the error the world will try to erase.

CHAOS REIGN: Chronicles of the Fallen Blood "In a world forged by magic and baptized in blood, truth is not salvation - it is the deadliest weapon of all." The world trembles on the edge of annihilation. Dimensional borders splinter like shattered glass, ripping open the fabric of reality. From those fractures, the Demon Clans emerge - not as mere invaders, but as a spreading plague, devouring kingdoms that once stood proud and untouchable. Amid the chaos walks Kaera. A hybrid. Half human. Half demon. A forbidden existence born of blood that should never have mixed. Haunted by the remnants of a fractured past, she carries a single purpose etched into her soul; to find her father - Astaroth, a name spoken in whispers, a legend swallowed by darkness. At her side stands Eira, a Magic Archer of the Elven race - sharp-eyed, disciplined, and far more dangerous than her quiet composure suggests. Together, they traverse broken continents and forgotten realms, chasing the threads of an ancient conspiracy - a truth powerful enough to collapse the very system that governs their world. But when blood holds the power to save... and to destroy - Is Kaera the salvation this dying world seeks? Or the catastrophe it was destined to fear?

In a world where supernatural bloodlines rule and power determines worth, Nyx Vaeloria is nothing. No wolf. No magic. No fangs. Born a rare tribrid… part vampire, part witch, part werewolf… Nyx should have been extraordinary. Instead, she is the only student at the most prestigious supernatural academy who possesses none of the abilities her blood promises. But powerlessness is not the only thing that follows her. Nyx grew up with one rumor shadowing her every step. She killed her twin. When Nyx and her sister Eira were nine years old, Eira died under mysterious circumstances. What began as tragedy quickly turned into whispers across supernatural territories: the wolfless twin murdered the stronger one out of jealousy. No one ever proved it. But no one ever defended Nyx either. Now eighteen, Nyx is forced to attend the academy built for the most powerful supernatural beings… werewolves, witches, and vampires. To them, she is nothing more than a mistake. A powerless girl who should never have existed. But fate has other plans. Because the moment Nyx steps inside the academy walls, the impossible happens. She triggers a mate bond with four of the most powerful men in the academy. Thorne Corvin… half werewolf, half human, and the boy who was once Nyx’s best friend… and her first love. Elion Virel… half werewolf, half witch, the charming manipulator whose effortless smile hides dangerous secrets. Ashriel Tavien… half vampire, half werewolf, a cold predator who seems to despise every living being. Asher Tavien… Ashriel’s brother, a feared academy professor who should never have been bound to a student. Four powerful men. Four impossible bonds. And the moment they discover who their mate truly is… They reject her. To them, Nyx is nothing more than the wolfless girl rumored to have murdered her own sister. But what none of them realize is that the prophecy the supernatural world fears has already begun to awaken. Because legends are not born from perfection. They are born from loss. From rage. From blood. As Nyx struggles to survive rejection, enemies, the cruelty of the academy, and the haunting memory of the sister she lost, something ancient begins to stir deep within her. Because the Silver Wolf was ever meant to be gentle. And when Nyx finally rises… The world that mocked her, rejected her, and feared her will learn a terrifying truth. The rumor they whispered about her for years… Was never entirely a lie. Some monsters are not created. They are awakened. Discord: weirdnotnormal

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?

Everybody kept telling her to not step on the forbidden bridge. But still, the princess of Runecliff kingdom, Grace Haddow, crossed it to step on the land beyond to save her mother.

A chance to be his wife, crown herself the queen of Nectaris and get her voice back. Fed up from being a mute for a year, and a pathetic, scared girl all her life, Grace accepts his offer.

Only, after their marriage, she finds out he had betrayed her treacherously. Hurt to her core, she decides to leave him. But her husband doesn't seem much eager to let her go. With his power and arrogance, he closes Grace's every door of escape from him. Trapped with sinfully attractive Dorian in marriage, she now needs to be cautious from falling in love with her deceiving husband when somebody from her past comes to take her back.
