Star Wars Alternate Universe - In this story, Darth Vader kills Palpatine, saves Luke, and dies at the end of Return of the Jedi as expected.

What do you do if you wake up one morning to a seriously infuriating note from your sister and a dog... no scratch that. Two dogs. ------ "At this rate I'm never going to have peace again, am I?" "I don't know what you want me to do about it" "Get out" "What about Cello?" "You named her? She can stay, you can leave, I don't need a babysitter" 'Especially not one that talks like the world will end if he doesn't.' "No thank you, we grew attached in the time it took for you to open the door for us and now there's no way to separate!" He put a hand to his forehead like a damsel about to collapse and as if on cue, the beagle barked to make her presence known, then he stared at the brunette, deadpan. And the brunette stared right back. 'Seriously irritating...'

【WSA 2026 Entry】 [!] Title Change in Progress [!] ════════════════════ Birth of the Undying Biomancer: Mio was the worst healer in Tokyo. F-grade, dead weight—her party kept her around out of pity until they did the math and left her bleeding in a ruined cathedral. Something ancient was waiting there. It offered her a Class that devours its hosts—a path of power that claimed the lives of the three Biomancers who came before her. Mio said yes anyway. She’d already felt the sting of a slow death; what was one more monster in her veins? Now pain is currency, death is fuel, and the hunger grows with every kill. The Bureau wants a weapon. Her sister wants her home for dinner. Mio agreed to both. In a world of Systems and Dungeons, power isn't a gift; it's a trade. And Mio is finally ready to pay the price. ════════════════════ What This Is: [1] This is a progression fantasy with system elements, but the system serves the story, not the other way around. Expect meaningful numbers, not stat spam. [2] Romance is not the focus. Mio has bigger problems. But expect a slow-burn later down the line! [3] The story gets dark, but it's earned. No grimdark for shock value. ════════════════════ Schedule: 1-2 chapters daily @ 10am-2pm CST | Chapter Length: 1,000-1,500 words ════════════════════ Powerstone Goals: 100 = +1 chapter 250= +2 chapters 500= +3 chapters 800 = +5 chapters ════════════════════ Support Me: Collections, comments, and reviews keep this alive! ════════════════════ #weak_to_strongest #female_lead #mass_awakening #dark_fantasy

“ON HOLD, BUT I’M NOT QUITTING;)” *** “You’re fucking mine.” "This body is mine; I can do whatever I want. If you try to stop me, then you'll regret it big time, brother." His voice said in a dark, low whisper. “If you don’t want my precious dad to find out what you did to me that night, then I suggest you shut the fuck up and kiss me right now.” *** Tyler’s world explodes when he loses his mother. And that’s just the beginning of the nightmare. He learns he must stay with his stepfather, whom he hasn't heard from in six years. No calls, no texts, or anything. It was just out of the blue. He has no choice but to move in with his stepfather, but fate seems to have it out for him. Tyler tries to keep himself strong and collected, but fate has collided with a familiar stranger on the road with green eyes. That stranger? He turned out to be his once-adorable little stepbrother, who used to worship him as a child. The same stepbrother, who used to be cute and close with him, but six years later, he changed into a cruel, twisted young teen, and holds a video against him that can get him into jail if the video gets out. Tyler can’t afford for the video to get out, so he has no choice but to obey this twisted young man. He wants Tyler’s body. His heart. His soul. And Angel always gets what he wants. *** Warning: Don't worry, they're not blood-related to each other. I'm not that into incest, lol. Secondly, they didn't grow up together, which makes me feel better. This is a dark romance novel. It's filled with abuse, toxic relationships, homophobia, blackmail, and more. Read at your own peril–and if you love messy, dark love stories—welcome to my dark world;) (The MC is a gong) (The male lead is a HUGE red flag shou)

Marcus "The Wolf" DeLuca died at fifty in a Chicago alley—thirty years of empire-building ended by a single bullet. He expected hell. Instead, he wakes up as Prince Aurelius Valmont, third son of the dying Eisenhart Kingdom, eighteen years old and universally despised. The original Aurelius was weak, idealistic, kind—everything Marcus spent three decades learning to kill. The palace is a viper's nest: his brothers plot to have him declared unfit, the King regards him with disappointment, and in two months, the Grand Council votes to strip his birthright entirely. They think he's the same pathetic prince. They're wrong. Marcus built criminal empires from nothing. He turned street thugs into loyal armies. He survived by making trust a weapon and mercy a myth. These silk-draped nobles playing their little games? They're amateurs. He starts rebuilding: servants become spies, "lowborn" outcasts become allies, and the kingdom's underbelly—darker than any crime family—becomes his domain. Within weeks, the palace trembles. Within a month, his brothers sleep with locked doors. Then he finds the letter. The King is dying faster than anyone knows. And Aurelius's "accidental" death wasn't an accident—a shadow organization called The Covenant has manipulated the throne for generations, and they've already chosen their puppet king. The original prince discovered them. That's why they killed him. But Marcus isn't the prince who can be quietly eliminated. His only unexpected complication? Lady Isadora Thorne—the court's most dangerous political player, brutally intelligent, viciously ambitious, and the only person who sees through his mask. She was the original Aurelius's declared enemy. Now she's offering an alliance... and he can't tell if she's his salvation or his executioner. In two months, the King dies and the kingdom burns. The only question is: will Marcus seize the throne with blood-stained hands, destroy The Covenant and build something new, or discover that some crowns aren't worth the souls they cost? Because the mob boss who became a prince is about to teach this medieval court what real power looks like.

In a world ravaged by the Great Fall, cities lie in ruins, and the lands are shrouded in ash and shadows. Monsters and demons roam the desolate territories, while secret cults worship the darkness, striving to gain a power denied to ordinary humans. Ancient gods watch over the world, intervening only rarely, and a constant sense of unease and danger hangs in the air. In this grim and cold world, every place holds its own secrets, every encounter could be the last, and magic and strength determine who survives and who is left forgotten in the wastelands.

Hayden’s star must be ‘unlucky’, because from birth, he’s known nothing but hardship and pain. From being maltreated and tortured at home, to being bullied in school for being crippled. Hayden’s life took a traumatic turn when the world was suddenly plagued by monsters who tore everyone apart, but he luckily survived with a few friends. When they stumbled upon a mysterious looking house and walked in, they were introduced to things they never knew existed before. Awakeners. Super powers. Another realm where those monsters invaded the earth from. Now, Hayden and his friends are forced to undergo the awakening process, and failure to awaken anything would have them instantly deemed useless and thrown out to be eaten by monsters. Hayden wasn’t allowed to join the awakening process cause they believed he’d never awaken anything in his crippled state, and if he even awakened anything, what use would a crippled person be if he cannot fight? They wrote Hayden off before he got a chance to prove himself. And even when he was finally allowed to partake, everyone awakened cool, fierce talents while his talent wasn’t recognized by the machines, therefore deemed too weak to be recognized by the tech. But Hayden actually awakened something that was bigger than the program, hence it showing ‘error.’ Hayden awoke not one, but three talents! [Host has successfully activated the system.] [Congratulations, host.] [Host has successfully awakened talent: nightwalker.] [skills: necromancer, summoner and talent stealer.] [[nightwalker: a person granted with the gift of wielding abilities that was born of the night.]] [Class: limitless advancement.] [Necromancer: ability to control, raise the dead and bind them to one’s self, to likely form an army of fighters.] [summomer: ability to summon legendary beasts, soldiers, archers and knights.] [Talent stealer: ability to steal the talent of anyone, master it and own it for twenty four hours before losing it.] [Host cannot steal more than three talents in a day.] [Host cannot make a stolen talent permanent unless the talent owner is killed.] With these abilities on Hayden’s fingertips, not only would he take back all that is rightfully his, he’ll conquer his enemies, tear through any obstacles in his way and rise above everyone’s who’s ever looked down on him.

​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
