Ethan Crowe walked out of prison after seven years with nothing to his name and nowhere to belong. The world he returned to was unrecognisable. Gates had torn open across the globe, monsters roamed beyond human control, and society now revolved around the Titled - people chosen by mysterious voices and granted supernatural powers that made them heroes, weapons, and rulers all at once. Ethan wasn’t one of them. Not at first. Lost, angry, and with no future worth chasing, Ethan was barely surviving when a voice finally spoke to him. "Your Title is… Lord Of Beasts." But something about his awakening was wrong. Instead of gaining power in the real world like every other Titled, Ethan awakened a System tied to the Tower Of Beasts - a brutal, game-like world he can only enter while asleep. Inside the Tower, Ethan must fight for survival against monstrous creatures, earning power through a system of skills, evolution, and beasts. As for the beasts he acquires there? They persist beyond his dreams... Registered as an E Rank Titled with only D Rank potential, Ethan should have been insignificant. Yet the Lord of Beasts cannot be measured by ordinary standards. As Ethan grows stronger at an impossible rate, his existence begins to ripple outward - drawing the attention of elite Titled, criminal syndicates, and forces lurking behind the Gates themselves. His past refuses to stay buried, his beasts grow more dangerous, and the truth behind his Title hints at something far more terrifying than anyone realises. In a world ruled by power, Ethan Crowe starts at the bottom. But as the Lord of Beasts, it’s only a matter of time before he climbs to the top! Note: The novel is a gritty version of the typical hunter/awakener novels with a beast twist, which I hope you will enjoy Discord Server: https://discord.gg/c34nURr72W P.S.

Traveling to a world where ghost stories and abnormal creatures are rampant, Serie not only becomes a beautiful, fragile, and sickly girl like a porcelain doll, but is also taken in by the salvation organization as an S-level abnormal creature and imprisoned in a steel fortress in the deep sea. But Serie didn't care, because she found that as long as she closed her eyes, those witches condensed by fear, desire and power would open their demon eyes on the other side of the world. They were walking taboos and also puppets dancing on Serie's fingertips. Each witch has a completely different form and ability. Complete tasks, light up the skill tree, and continuously upgrade and evolve. Beautiful and powerful S-class witches appeared one after another like mushrooms after rain—— "The Witch of Pleasure plunges New York into a lewd abyss?" "The Dread Devourer ate the Golden Gate Bridge clean?" "The Slaughter Witch rules the battlefield, weaving nightmares for her enemies with threads of blood?" "The ruling witch made the organization's top executives betray her and become her loyal servants?" Alarms on the radio sounded one after another, and the employees were talking about Serie's trumpet, some with fear, some with admiration, and some with vigilance, but they would never know that the culprit of all this was that useless and cute girl who was tied with chains and restraints and did nothing every day except act coquettishly and wait for food. Serie said nothing, just buried her face in the pillow and continued to play the simulation game: "Let's open a new account... I want to try a different evolution path this time."

The Mythic Samurai Beneath a blood-red moon, a lone samurai fights a battle that seems destined to end in tragedy. As his comrades fall and darkness consumes the battlefield, one final clash leaves everything uncertain. But what if the end of one story is only the beginning of another? Far from the horrors of war, a young warrior stands at the beginning of a journey he cannot yet understand. With little more than determination and a world of possibilities before him, he must discover what it truly means to wield a sword—and what it means to protect the people who matter most. In a world shaped by ancient magic, powerful warriors, mysterious creatures, and forgotten secrets, every friendship carries meaning, every choice has consequences, and not every enemy is what they seem. As bonds are forged and dangers emerge, fragments of something unsettling linger at the edges of his understanding. A crimson moon. A battlefield. A darkness that refuses to be forgotten. And somewhere beyond the horizon, a fate waiting to be challenged.

Good for evil pays at the end

​Title: Black Heart: The Heir of Moto ​Synopsis: "In a world where Ancient Gods rule from the shadows and Holy Heroes maintain a fragile peace, Leo Takahashi was a discarded pawn—betrayed by his love and offered as a sacrifice to the Divine Mountain. But the Gods made a mistake: they didn't kill him; they unleashed a nightmare. ​Reborn as Ivan, and carrying the soul of the legendary swordsman Jin Moto, he has done the impossible. He devoured the flames of the Phoenix 'Shura', harnessed the 'Black Lightning' of Lucifer, and broke the seal of the forbidden Book of Osiris. ​Now, a mysterious organization known as 'Diablos' has awakened after 5,000 years, hunting for the Seven Heavenly Keys and the head of Medusa to revive their fallen gods. As Ivan enters the prestigious Tankyo Academy in the Union Kingdom, he must hide his true identity while navigating a world of political intrigue, ancient dungeons, and Holy Heroes who sense his terrifying aura. ​With the blood of a Dragon, the heart of a Demon, and the pride of a Moto, Ivan’s path of revenge will turn into a war against the heavens themselves. ​'I don't seek salvation. I seek the throne built on your ruins.'" ​Tags: #Revenge #Overpowered #Magic #Dragons #Academy #ColdMC #AntiHero

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!

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.)

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.

It is said that those who have plunged into the heart of the abyss and returned are never free from its gaze, forever cursed by the affliction of "The Lost." Beyond the thresholds of life and death, beyond light and shadows, a solitary forgotten soul will emerge where others have not, carrying with it more than just a curse: the very darkness itself, poised to alter the world long forgotten by time. For not all things are as they appear...

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 a fantastical world where strength reigns supreme, power determines everything. With strength, you can have it all—you can ignore reason, abandon morality and virtue, and even trample on the most basic human rights. ... Since that’s how the world works, don’t blame me for refusing to play by the rules anymore! Thank you for the support, friends. If you want to read more chapters in advance, go to my Patreon.

The novel *“Endless Myth”* can be written by anyone. It is not limited to the main story; there is an infinite margin for derivative works and creative reinterpretations. Even if the world collapses, the story breaks down, the characters are fractured, gods appear, or real-life elements such as readers, authors, editors, or everyday life scenes are involved — all of it is acceptable. Fragments and side stories serve to expand this space of allowance. You may take one of these pieces as a starting point to create your own story. You may also turn it into illustrations, generate images or videos with AI, or create text. Fragments are a declaration of acceptance. ※I use AI tools in my creative work.

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. No, it is in the figure of a woman whose identity was that of an ordinary secretary working for an unincorporated company. 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."

A story of a transmigrator returning once more to the moment it all began… The splendor and humiliation of his past life have long faded. In this life, the road to power must be walked from the very beginning. The path of the strong is one of solitude. Indifference, ruthlessness, deception, patience… If any of these can serve as shortcuts to strength, he will take them without hesitation! •. •. YO! Tetsuya (MC) doesn’t focus only on Poison-types, he has several others. It’s just that in the "previous timeline", that was his specialty and he became skilled at it. Any normal person would start with what they’re good at and then expand into other paths (Types). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12 CH/W Disclaimer.

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.

*The first few chapters might be a bit slow for some readers, but that changes later on.* Jin is a victim of bullying and eventually dies at the hands of his tormentors. He is reincarnated in another world and gains access to a "System," vowing never to let himself be pushed around again. However, the world he has entered is far from ordinary; women hold the power here because, unlike men, they awaken special abilities. Jin no longer wants to be told what to do, and over time, he establishes an underground organization with himself at the helm. As Jin’s influence grows, he becomes one of the world's most wanted criminals. but there is much much more to come —————————————————— The book isn't a classic "reverse world" novel; that element is part of the story, but not the main focus. The first few chapters don't have much action yet, but we'll get to that. There’s no classic "System", I didn't want to just copy things one-to-one. Even though the MC relies heavily on the "system"—especially at the beginning—I don't want him to be solely dependent on it; I want him to be able to handle things on his own, too. That’s also the reason I didn't include the word "System" in the title. This is my first novel and I'm doing it just for fun, so please be understanding.
