Twelve years ago, Jeremy Creek was the boy who vanished—a victim of the 1989 meteor shower, strung up in a cornfield as a "scarecrow" and transformed by the glowing green debris. In 2001, he woke up. But he didn’t return as a normal teenager; he returned as a biological anomaly with memory about parts of the story that he woke up in. He could recognize some famous characters from the DC universe, but did not know the future of the story because he was not a fan previously. Unlike those around him, Jeremy possesses a unique "Vessel" physiology. Jeremey has a terrifying, latent ability to manipulate the fundamental forces of the universe. He is capable of siphoning the volatile abilities of other "meteor freaks" into his own nervous system. To survive the overload, he utilizes high-purity Emerald Shards—refined meteor rocks that act as capacitors, organizing his stolen powers into a growing library of superhuman potential. As he navigates a world of modern technology and high school social strata, Jeremy has strategically positioned himself as a tragic hero. By manipulating Chloe Sullivan into believing he is "curing" the town's dangerous residents, he has gained a loyal accomplice who helps him track his next "donors." While Lex Luthor watches from the shadows and Clark Kent senses a growing, sickly resonance he can't explain, Jeremy is no longer just a survivor of the past. He is the architect of a new, synthesized future—one stolen power at a time. // Author Note: THIS IS WRITTEN WITH THE HELP OF AI. IF YOU DON'T LIKE AI, DON'T READ THIS STORY!

In an alternate Japan, certain people realize absolute truths about themselves with such violence that their knowing distorts local physics. Where such truths achieve critical intensity, reality fractures into Kyo: pocket dimensions of recursive trauma, wounds made spatial, suffering that has learned to preserve itself. Kyo are dangerous pocket spaces born from centuries of trauma. They twist ordinary rooms into endless traps that offer exactly what each person secretly craves: a dead mother returned, perfect love without distance, or an end to unbearable emptiness. The Kyo are not haunted houses. They are haunted moments—specific seconds of absolute emotional truth, stretched into architecture, looped into eternity. To enter a Kyo is not to explore a place. It is to inhabit someone else's worst realization, to feel what they felt, to know what they knew, to risk becoming the same knowing. ---Warning!!!--- This contains LGBTQ content as the original book.

WARNING MATURE CONTENT} RATED 18+ Elara Kane sold her freedom for $50 million. Lucien Volkov — billionaire CEO by day, merciless mafia king by night — needed a wife to secure his empire and silence his rivals. No love. No emotions. Just a signed contract: one year, public perfection, and her body on demand whenever he wanted it. “Sex is a transaction,” he told her coldly on their wedding night. “You’re a tool. Nothing more.” She hated him with every fiber of her being. He felt nothing but cold control. But one defiant glare, one accidental softness, one moment she fought back… and the ice began to crack. What started as duty slowly became addiction. What started as hate slowly became forever. Now the most dangerous man alive will burn his own rules — and the world — to keep the wife he was never supposed to love.

Hunted by enemies, feared by allies, and bound to a dangerously powerful man who may be her greatest temptation or her downfall, Clover must decide who she truly is. Will she become the savior they desperately need… or the monster they have always feared?

God went digital. Prayers became quests. And Aron? He’s the glitch that never should’ve existed. Created as Adam’s brother in Eden, Aron got sidelined the moment Eve showed up. Thousands of years later, he’s still bitter, still ignored by Heaven, and still drowning in divine silence. Then the System finally throws him a bone: Find the Apple of Wisdom. Reward: A Note from the Creator. The catch? The Apple has been missing for millennia… and the last person who had it was Eve— the woman he’s hated since day one. Now Aron’s hunting the First Woman through rain-soaked streets, demon bars, and soul-trading dens, with his exhausted guardian angel Uriel desperately trying to stop him from doing something stupid (again). He wasn’t chosen. He wasn’t loved. But this glitch is done being quiet. What to Expect: • A pissed-off ancient being in a trench coat who really hates God and is OP. • Rainy cyberpunk biblical noir with a snarky System • Angels, demons, and zero divine mercy • Dark humor, raw angst, and one very messy family reunion from Eden • No chosen one bullshit — just a bitter underdog forcing answers at gunpoint (or wingpoint) --- Tags: #UrbanFantasy #DarkFantasy #BiblicalCyberpunk #AntiHero #LitRPG #AngelsAndDemons #DivineGlitch #Psychological #Noir #Betrayal #EdenDrama #MaleProtagonist #overpowered --- Release Schedule: 1 - 2 chapters daily

Synopsis: The Butcher’s Apotheosis He died a nobody. He was reborn as a joke. Now he’s going to carve his name across the cosmos. Kang Jin-ho lived a forgettable life—a culinary school dropout working the night shift at a butcher shop. When a robbery ended his existence, he thought that was the end. Instead, he wakes up in the body of a bullied teenager in a world where the System has just arrived. Monsters pour from towers. Humanity scrambles for power. Everyone around him awakens as warriors, mages, and paladins. His class? \[Butcher\]. F-rank. The System itself calls it “combat capability: minimal.” They all laugh. They don’t know that Jin-ho spent years with a cleaver in his hand. He knows anatomy. He knows where to cut. And he’s about to discover that the Butcher class doesn’t gain experience like everyone else. It harvests. Strength from goblins. Agility from beasts. Skills from fallen enemies. With every kill, Jin-ho grows. With every carcass he processes, he unlocks abilities that should belong only to the highest ranks. But Earth is just the beginning. The System is not a game—it’s a farm. Higher beings cultivate worlds, harvesting the souls and powers of humanity for their own evolution. Jin-ho’s class is an anomaly, a glitch that should not exist. And when the Administrators notice him, they will send everything they have to delete him. Too bad for them. A butcher doesn’t stop at animals. From the ruined streets of Seoul to the halls of cosmic gods, Jin-ho will carve his way through towers, armies, and pantheons. He will harvest kings and topple empires. And when the creators of the System come to collect their due, they’ll learn the final truth: Every god is just meat that hasn’t been cut yet. --- Tags: #System #Transmigration #WeakToStrong #DarkFantasy #Apocalypse #AntiHero #Harem #CosmicHorror #KingdomBuilding #OverpoweredMC --- “A bloody, relentless climb from zero to divinity. The Butcher class is the most unique concept I’ve seen in years.” — (imaginary reviewer quote to add credibility)

WARNING: DARK ROMANCE "Who knew that something so beautiful could come out of filth like Edmund?" He says, as he runs the backs of his fingers up and down my bare skin. Goosebumps spring up immediately. "Who would have imagined," he says slowly, savoring every word, "that something so exquisite could be born from a man as vile as your father." His eyes trace me with deliberate leisure, stripping, measuring. I felt skinned under his gaze. "A rapist," he continues lightly, as if reciting lines from a book. "A butcher of children. A coward who kills pregnant women and plunges his weapon into a friend's back." He stepped closer. Too close. "And yet," he murmurs, voice dropping, "he left this behind." His smile sharpened. I can't move. I can't breathe. "You should be grateful," he goes on, almost kindly. "If you had been born uglier, I would have killed you like the rest." A pause, then his hands on my cheek, gentle. "But beauty like yours," he adds, eyes darkening, "is worth breaking slowly." * What is worse than being rejected once? Being rejected two more times.
