UPDATED!! Lysander Vale was never meant to matter. In the novel he once read, he was nothing more than a background character — an extra who died before the real story even began. No name worth remembering. No role worth filling. Just another body in the early chapters. Then he woke up inside it. Reborn into the world of that unfinished story, Lysander carries one advantage and one problem. The advantage: he knows what happens next. The problem: he only read the beginning. The story he's now living inside of is one he never finished — and the further it moves forward, the darker the things he doesn't know become. He has no blessing. No noble lineage. No divine favor. What he has is a sword that shouldn't exist, a system built from the authority of a god the world decided to forget, and the knowledge that several people around him are scheduled to die. He doesn't intend to let that happen. Not because he's a hero. He's not. He's a background character who survived his own death scene and is now moving through a story he only partially understands, changing outcomes one deviation at a time, trying not to draw attention he isn't ready for. Inside Eclipse Hunter Academy — where noble heirs, blessed prodigies, and future legends gather — Lysander starts at the bottom of the rankings and climbs slowly. His technique is unusual. His element is unremarkable. His luck, according to the system that tracks such things, is catastrophically bad. But fate has a problem with him. Every time it moves, he moves first. And the god who was erased from history is watching with something that looks a great deal like interest.

Fated to be a Drone like his forefathers, abused and exploited till his final breath, Buzz had only one wish. He wanted to awaken any other class, even if it burdened him with a trash talent. But that day, the wheel of fate began to spin as he awakened a class-talent combination that shouldn't even exist! An SSS-RANK Drone! A system of Maximum Adaptability! Both unheard of across the vast cosmos! With his bizarre talent, a whole new world of possibilities opened up, where Buzz could adapt himself to surpass the limits of any realm, mimic the strongest member of any class! Thus begins one young man's rise from a generation of slaves, a society designed for exploitation, a civilization used as mere cannon fodder in cosmic wars.

To summarize this story in one sentence: A boy is Chosen to stand against a person who was never meant to be evil but now rules it. In the long term, without any spoilers. It's about a boy who becomes a god but still chooses to be human. A story about the cost of power and why someone would want it. When seventeen-year-old Damon Vale lost his mother, his whole world cracked. Not just with grief, but also with an impossible truth. Damon is no longer just a high schooler dealing with gangs and betrayal; he is the descendant of a powerful Queen of Woewyn, a kingdom on a realm carrying good and bad in excess. Raised on Earth by the Queen who lied to save his life, Damon is gifted and burdened by a power that literally bends elements and is constantly on the verge of purging his own body. Now, ancient gods and demons are pouring into The Multiverse, some disguised as humans. Chronisouls, some torment, some help. For Damon, the choice is simple: Embrace the divine power that hurts him from the inside out, or watch his life on Earth, including the one girl who sees past his walls, shatter forever. From quiet rooftops(literally) to cosmic wars(also literally), Damon must discover if saving existence means losing the simplicity he always wanted, getting something better... or obtaining worse. Chronisoul is a story that pays off, only if you wait. (He doesn't look anything like the cover. I only used it 'cause a friend made it for me and it's pretty cool.)

Across the world, an unseen plague spreads. Ordinary people descend into madness, becoming Holmen. They are twisted, violent, and vanish without a trace. They slaughter their families, burn their homes and destroy without reason or remorse. No one agrees on the cause. Temple blames the moral decay. The Regime of Ezkabel calls it natural. But one thing is clear, they are multiplying. Corruption is rising... And in the midst of it all stands Larsen, a frail boy with a shattered past and a silence so deep it scrapes the soul. While others fear the *Holmen* outside, Larsen hunts his own darkness within. In a time when even heroes lose their way, can a boy with nothing left find a reason to fight? [Chapters 1–5 focus on building tension and a slow-burning setup]

Kang Ji-woo's last word was a name. The name of the man who shoved him into the wolf's jaws. Betrayed. Discarded like trash by the raid party he trusted—his childhood crush bartered his life for a single A-rank skill crystal. As fangs closed around his throat and the rift sealed shut behind his fleeing "friends," Ji-woo died screaming. Then he woke up. 「SSS Bond Fusion System Activated.」 「Welcome, Candidate. You are compatible with 100% of Male-Class Entities.」 The rarest system in the apocalypse chose a corpse. Ji-woo can now fuse with any male beast, rift lord, or fallen entity. Every successful fusion grants him a new God-Class skill, a permanent power spike, and a Bond Partner—sentient, devastatingly powerful, and bound to him for life. But the system doesn't give. It takes. Each fusion demands a Bond Trial: a brutal war of wills inside a shared mindscape where the beast fights back with pride, trauma, and centuries of hatred. Dominate, and a fragment of the beast's consciousness merges with Ji-woo's own—altering his personality, his desires, his very soul. Fail? The corruption spreads. The beast takes over. And Ji-woo becomes the pet. Now the weakest bait is collecting the apocalypse's most dangerous males. The Silverfang Wolf snarls at the leash. He was a king before Ji-woo chained him. He will kneel—but only after he breaks the boy who dared claim him. The Abyssal Dragon offers cold partnership. He sees Ji-woo as a useful vessel, nothing more. His loyalty must be carved from ice. The Fallen Seraph smiles too easily. He submits, purrs, obeys every command—and whispers poison into Ji-woo's mind when the others aren't listening. With every fusion, Ji-woo climbs toward God-Class. But the voices grow louder. The corruption meter ticks higher. The boy who was left to die is becoming something unrecognizable—something hungry, something unstable, something the "heroes" who betrayed him will regret creating. And the system has one final warning: 「Bond Capacity: 3/7.」 「Corruption Threshold: 43%.」 「Recommendation: Do not fall in love with your chains.」 Power has a price. Loyalty is a battlefield. And the only way to survive this new world is to claim the strongest males... before they claim him back. A dark BL system apocalypse where every power-up costs a piece of your soul. Weak-to-OP. Messy harem. Real consequences. Real heat. Updates daily.

Ravencrest High looks like a prestigious boarding school, but the truth is far from that. Hidden from humans, it is a training ground for young vampires to master self-control. Humans are enrolled alongside them, because they think it’s just an elite academic program. In reality, their presence keeps the vampires in check, providing occasional feeding opportunities under strict supervision. With the humans completely unaware. Lyra Hale is a new transfer student, hoping for nothing more than a fresh start. She expected a normal school environment. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by students who are weird and secretive. Kieran Black is everything Ravencrest warns against. A high-ranking vampire from one of the oldest bloodlines, he doesn’t believe in the rules meant to keep vampires in line. He sees the humans not as protected guests, but as tempting puzzles, and he can’t resist the effect Lyra has on him from the first moment he notices her. Lyra doesn’t know the truth about the school, the vampires, or Kieran. While she tries to survive in the school, Kieran is drawn to her in ways he can’t fully control. With the school having so much unbendable rules, even the authority can’t be trusted. And the most dangerous person on campus might also be the only one willing to protect her. At Ravencrest, temptation is constant, and love may be the most dangerous mistake of all. `•`•`•|`•`•`•|`•`•`•|`•`•`• [Excerpt] Lyra was halfway down the east corridor, Ravencrest always felt different at night. She hugged her books closer to her chest and stopped when she turned a corner, someone stood at the end of the hall. One foot was propped up behind him, hands in his pockets, head slightly tilted. His eyes locked onto hers, dark and intense, like he had been waiting for her. The hallway suddenly felt smaller and tighter. “Kieran.” “You’re really good at pretending I don’t exist.” “Maybe because you keep showing up where you’re not supposed to be.” His eyes dropped to her lips for half a second before going back to her face. She took a step back as he stepped closer and she froze the second his hand closed over her wrist. Then just as her heart threatened to leap out of her chest, his thumb brushed against the delicate skin of her wrist. His touch sent a shock of warmth through her, a feeling she couldn’t quite figure out no matter how hard she tried. She tried to pull back, but before she could, he tugged her closer and suddenly, the space between them disappeared. Every instinct screamed to push him away, to step back, but she couldn’t. He was just too close. “Kieran…” she whispered, voice trembling. The faintest smirk tugging at the corner of his lips, and those enticing grey eyes that she felt drawn in every second she look at him, like gravity itself had shifted. The way he held her wrist and the way his thumb brushed against them, it was everything but safe. "What are you doing?" "I could kiss you." ***** Cover art is not mine.

The life of the underworld was something Ashley had dreamed of escaping all her life. Born as a bastard from an affair between an underworld kingpin and a prostitute, Ashley was meant to die even before she was born. The only reason she survived was that her father thought she was a boy. From a young age, she understood that if she wanted to survive in this world of violence—on top of her father’s wife and daughter’s schemes—she had to be useful. So, she made herself a promise: one day, she would escape this world. Ashley almost succeeded… until her father found her again and thrust her into a marriage of convenience with his rival, Dominion, in his beloved daughter’s place. Everyone in the underworld knew Dominion. They were cruel, organized, and simply spawns of evil. And the man who stood above that power, Luciano, was said to be downright diabolical. Just their name alone could make anyone tremble. And this organization was where Ashley now had to survive. To make matters worse, the marriage also came with a child — Luciano’s mute heir. Forced to become the wife of one of the most violent and powerful underworld organizations, and the mother of its future leader, Ashley made a vow. “No matter what, I’ll escape this place!” But she would soon realize it wouldn’t be as simple as that. Not when the feared members of Dominion clung to her feet, begging, “Madam, don’t go!” And when the mute stepson finally spoke, “Mommy, if you’re leaving, please take me with you.” Finally, her diabolical, obsessive, and utterly territorial husband said, “I’ve packed our things. Where should we go?” *** Chat with me in Discord! Link: https://discord.gg/AUqYr3hchA Follow me on Instagram - @author_bajj

In a world where power is traded through skills, Riven is just a dungeon scavenger—picking through ruins, selling whatever little he finds to survive. The system isn’t built for people like him to rise, and he knows it. Until the day he breaks a skill. Not by using it, but by taking it apart. What he pulls out is useless on its own, but it opens a door no one else can see. With the right pieces and the right base, he can turn ordinary skills into something far more valuable. Riven steps into the underground market, where deals are quiet, profits are high, and mistakes don’t get forgiven. As his modified skills begin to circulate, he starts building influence, and eventually something much bigger—a network that doesn’t just follow the market, but bends it. In a world run by strength, Riven isn’t trying to be the strongest. He’s building something far more dangerous.

Lin Yue has never been afraid of being alone. At twenty-four, he has already lived through more than most people ever will—not in grand, tragic ways, but in quiet, suffocating ones. Growing up as an orphan passed between cold institutions and indifferent guardians, he learned early that attachment leads to pain. By adulthood, he lives a detached, monotonous life, working night shifts and avoiding unnecessary human connections. To him, living is simply continuing. Everything changes on a rain-soaked night when he returns to his apartment. The hallway feels wrong—too long, too silent. Then, a voice calls his name from behind. Calmly, without hesitation, Lin Yue ignores it and keeps walking. That single decision triggers something unseen. When he reaches his door, the number has changed to “404.” The moment he steps inside, reality fractures. Lin Yue is pulled into a game called the Flow, a system of endless horror instances where players must survive deadly scenarios governed by obscure and shifting rules. Failure means erasure. Survival means being dragged into the next nightmare. Unlike other players, Lin Yue adapts quickly, relying on observation, emotional detachment, and his ability to remain calm under pressure. But something is wrong. Despite breaking rules and defying logic, Lin Yue is never punished by the System. Instead, he is marked—singled out by an unknown force. His actions begin to distort the behavior of instances, as if the world itself cannot fully process him. That is when he notices him. Gu Yanchen, known as the Arbiter, is a being feared by all players—an enforcer of the System who exists to maintain order and eliminate anomalies. Cold, precise, and seemingly inhuman, he should have killed Lin Yue the moment he deviated from the rules. Yet he doesn’t. Instead, Gu Yanchen watches. As their paths intertwine, Lin Yue is forced to confront something more terrifying than death—connection. Gu Yanchen, who should be nothing more than a mechanism of judgment, begins to act with intention, even obsession. Faced with this impossible choice, the Arbiter hesitates—for the first time. That hesitation fractures the system itself. Rules collapse, instances distort, and the Flow begins to unravel. In a world where everything is designed to erase humanity… What happens when two people refuse to let go? “The System wants me dead. But its Arbiter won’t allow it.”

A 40-year-old man suddenly dies and is reincarnated in a world devastated by zombies—but instead of becoming a hero or a survivor, he wakes up as a zombie girl.

In a world where human worth is measured by the magic in one’s blood… a boy was born without it. He wasn't merely weak—he was rejected by magic itself. And when he died for the first time… he did not wake up as a human. He rose as something… that shouldn't exist." ​Synopsis: In a kingdom ruled by the "Mage Elite," Nir was born as a mistake—a child unable to wield any magic, as if the world itself had cast him out. After years of humiliation and isolation, he is left for dead following a failed experiment within the Magic Academy. But he does not perish. ​Instead, he awakens within an internal darkness, where a voice echoes: “Void Essence Activated.” ​Nir discovers that he possesses no magic, but something far more lethal: the ability to devour magic itself and forge it into his own power. Yet, every power comes with a price. With each use of his ability, he sheds a piece of his humanity. As he ascends, he realizes his existence is no mere accident—it is the key to the end of an entire world
