dark

After stealing an ancient book, Joseph August suddenly awakens in the body of a young man named Ciel Grand in a world identical to London. A world filled with gods, secrets buried beneath the pages of history, and powers that were never meant to belong to humanity. 'Where is this place, really...?' As the mystery behind his existence gradually unfolds, Ciel realizes that every power comes with a price, and every truth carries risks far greater than he could ever imagine. Will Ciel survive and climb to heights beyond the limits of his world, or will he be swallowed by the mists of history?

Reincarnated into the HP world. Granger's brother. - - - - - - - - - This is a translation; the original title in raw format is: Целитель

The veil didn't lift. It shattered. In one night, humanity learned the truth. Gods weren't prayers. Demons weren't stories. They were predators, and we were never the apex. We were currency. Collateral. Livestock. But inside nineteen-year-old Kael Redgrave, the livestock brought its own slaughterhouse. Kael should have been just another body in the culling. Instead, his blood became a celestial cage for five primordial horrors, each one clawing to take the wheel: The Dark Smiler: sadistic malice that speaks in riddles and laughs while you bleed The Demon Lord: pure, hyper-violent slaughter with no leash and no limit The Devil King: a cold, scheming mind that turns wars into chess games The Divine: blinding, hypocritical judgment that burns first and forgives never The Void: a silent hunger that doesn't want to kill you. It wants to unmake you Now the cosmos has a name for him. The Vessel of Five. Gods want him shackled before he ascends. Monsters want him dead before he evolves. Humanity wants him erased before the cage breaks. Kael just wants to survive the war inside his own skin. But the whispers are getting louder, and the memories aren't his. Because he wasn't chosen by these things. He was engineered for them. And somewhere beyond the fabric of reality, the forgotten creator who built him is still waiting for its weapon to remember why.

About: Tear The Finite is a dark fantasy / psychological fantasy web novel by MashuTheGreat. It is not a LitRPG or system novel; it focuses on tragedy, gods, revenge, and the cost of survival. Synopsis: The world was shaped by three gods: the God of Heaven, the Goddess of Hell, and the God of Nature. Each created a different concept of existence as humanity knows it. But when the gods cursed Eve, they created something they could no longer control. Driven by vengeance and forced to survive in a brutal world, Eve sets out to punish the very beings who shaped reality itself. Will she succeed in her revenge, or will she fall into the hands of the gods?

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.

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.

John T. Vance was not a hero. He was a corrupt mayor, a former black ops soldier, a liar in a suit, a smiling predator who understood that justice was only real when someone powerful needed it to be. After being framed, betrayed, exposed, shot, blown apart and executed in front of his own city, John expected hell. Instead, he woke up crying. Reborn in Japan as Tsukauchi Naomasa, the firstborn son of the wealthy and rotten Tsukauchi clan, John finds himself trapped inside a newborn body in a world where children are judged by their blood, their quirks, their usefulness and how easily they can be controlled. Heroes smile for cameras. Villains rot in shadows. Clans hide monsters behind tradition. Society worships power while pretending it believes in peace. And Naomasa is born with a quirk carrying the most disgusting joke of all. All Men Are Equal. A power with a beautiful name. A power that sounds like fairness. A power that may prove equality only exists when everyone is dragged down to the same helpless level. Now surrounded by clan politics, inheritance wars, quirk supremacy, fake heroes and enemies who would gladly kill a baby before he becomes a man, Naomasa must decide what kind of monster survives in a world like this. Unfortunately for everyone, John T. Vance already knows the answer. (Naomasa’s POV) "I hate being a baby" Thought Naomasa with a tired, toothless glare. ----------------------------------------- WARNING WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ ⚠️ Content Warning: Throughout this story, there are scenes involving strong language, physical and emotional abuse, sexual situations, violence, and other mature or disturbing themes.

Reality is broken. Most people simply do not notice. In a world governed by invisible forces and ancient secrets, Dark lives an ordinary life—or at least he tries to. But strange dreams, impossible memories, and encounters that defy reason slowly reveal a terrifying truth: Something has been watching him since before he was born. As hidden organizations move behind the curtains of civilization and forgotten powers awaken beneath the surface of the world, Dark is pulled into a conflict that spans far beyond nations, religions, and history itself. The deeper he searches for answers about his parents, his identity, and the mysteries surrounding him, the more reality begins to unravel. Because some truths are not meant to be discovered. Some names are not meant to be remembered. And some beings should never exist. In a world where everyone is a puppet bound by unseen strings, Dark may be the only anomaly. The only mistake. The only fracture in reality. And if the truth behind his existence is ever revealed... The darkness beyond the world may finally look back.

In a rain-soaked Amegakure, a quiet pariah named Zaraki Kita navigates life at the fringes of shinobi society. When she crosses paths with Konan, the angelic and enigmatic Akatsuki, sparks fly in unexpected ways.

In a world divided by a vast, uncharted sea, only the Fortunate thrive, while the Unfortunate scrape by in the harsh lands of Hinkon.

Betrayal, blood, and chaos follow him at every step, and survival means embracing the monstrous abilities he never asked for. As Tuziku battles enemies both human and demonic, he discovers that strength comes at a price—and vengeance may be the only path to justice.

Kevin once a below average teenager gets ran over by truck-kun and a ROB reincarnated him as the twin brother of Klaus Mikaelson. Kevin now Tèlos has to survive in this new world he is in, but for some reason, ROB decided to suppress his emotions so he wouldn't develop strong enough feelings for his youngest brother Henrik.

BACKSTORY Born in the backstreets of Ajegunle, Lagos, Damilola never knew his parents. He grew up in St. Mercy Orphanage, a crumbling haven run by Sister Clara and Father Benjamin, who protected the children from gang violence and human trafficking.

You think you can understand Chaos? Foolish! Chaos isn't merely disorder; it is the ultimate paradox - Life and death, creation and destruction, the beginning and the end. In a hyper-advanced future built on quantum technology, humanity is awakened by the same energy tearing the universe apart. Entities from a higher dimension invade, forcing humans to the brink of extinction. In the shadows of this broken world, Missio Augustus wanders aimlessly like a lost soul, fighting his own inner darkness. As the Lieutenant General of the Black ops division, he goes on a mission to capture an international kingpin but experiences his life-long trauma once again. While falling into depression, he watches as an ancient church brings mayhem upon humanity... This is a relaunch of my original work. I am moving this story from my previous account (SageofMusic) to this new handle (Ekadash). I am the sole creator of Music Box Mayhem.

In the beginning, I was reborn as the third Golden Crow, younger brother to Di Jun and Tai Yi. Armed with a perfect memory of the original timeline, I refused to let the tragedy of the Lich Wars repeat itself. In this life, I chose a different path: I would remain on the Sun Star, a silent sentinel, never once setting foot in the mortal realms. I became the "Steady Golden Crow," cultivating my power in isolation while the world below spiraled into chaos. I watched from the solar flames as the Witch Clan—the Wu—conquered the prehistoric world, their ambition growing until they finally dared to cast their eyes upward. They launched a final, desperate assault to seize the Sun Star itself. -------------------------------------------------- this is a translation all credit goes to original author: 虎头蛇尾 RAW: 洪荒：吾为第三只金乌，稳健不出

A wimpy, safety-first, and cautious ordinary man climbs the tower.

I've been sick ever since I can remember. My dad's a drunk prick, and he doesn't treat my mom very well. My girlfriend cheated on me with my best friend, because she figures I'm going to die soon anyways. They all do. Hell, they're probably right. I've been to countless doctors, and they can't figure out what is wrong with me aside from the fact that my body is slowly shutting down. I don't have any friends anymore. My dad doesn't allow me home anymore, and apparently, I'm not even their real son. That was a real kick in the teeth. Only my mom tries to talk to me still, but there's always hell to pay if my dad catches her. At this point, I've accepted my end, and I wish it would just hurry up. At least, that's what I told myself, until I came across a new fuzzy little friend that would change my entire life. My name is Elias Crosse, and my tale is about get crazy. Notes: This story features an OP MC, so power development and growth isn't really present for him, although there is some. A lot of the growth mainly comes from other characters, and features a focus on said characters. Elias is also not someone who puts up with other character's bullshit, and routinely puts them in their place. I am tired of the trope of characters hiding their powers, or letting other characters walk all over them and theirs because they are not strong enough to do anything. I don't exactly know how to describe my story in terms of a genre. It has action, it has slice of life, and it has romance. There is no fade to black, and I can be very descriptive. This is also a HAREM story. If you don't like that kind of thing, you will not upset me by not reading it. I'd prefer you didn't, honestly. I have been fixing, updating, and changing somethings for consistency, to improve the story, the grammar and errors, and for things to make more sense. Some things may change, as this is a work in progress. The more I write, the better I feel I am becoming. I just write, and I have the ideas of where I am going in my head, but other than that, I just write the story as I see fit. As such, I forget some things, I miss somethings, and most often, some ideas in my head get jumbled together and it ends up not making sense some times. I am working to correct that as best as I can.

Throughout the world, many young people dream of adventures spanning thousands of miles; however, after the sea swallowed the land, many people lost their hope and dreams. On a small boat in the middle of unknown waters, a boy awakens with no memory of who he is or why he is at sea.
