dark

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.

Blurb “My name… my real name… is Selene.” Once upon a time, she was weak. Rejected by her mate. Betrayed by the one person she trusted most. Left broken and dying under the merciless gaze of the Moon Goddess…..So Charlene did the one thing no sane soul would dare. She called upon the shadow deity—the forbidden goddess whispered about only in fear. And Nyx answered. Now she is no longer the fragile girl they cast aside. Power pulses through her veins like dark fire, awakening abilities no mortal was ever meant to wield. With vengeance burning in her heart, Charlene rises from the ashes of her old life like a storm ready to devour everything in its path….Those who betrayed her will beg for mercy. But power stolen from the divine always demands a price. Every two moon cycles, the curse awakens within her body—an unbearable heat, a torment that tears through her veins and leaves her desperate for relief. Then she meets him. The one man whose presence ignites her senses. The one man who looks at her like he knows exactly what monster she has become. The one man who tempts her to abandon vengeance for something far more dangerous……..Desire…But secrets lurk in the shadows of their world. Secrets that could shatter kingdoms…Secrets that could destroy gods. And if Charlene isn’t careful, the very power she made a pact for…may very well devour her soul before she gets her revenge.

"I need you," the untouchable Imperial Countess whispered, her aristocratic pride shattering in the humid darkness of the forest. The mercenary merely smirked, his eyes dark with raw, unapologetic hunger. "And what exactly is Her Grace willing to pay?" Field Marshal Thomas Leontar von Greifenwald, the undefeated Lion of the North, has fallen and been taken prisoner by the savage Sarmund barbarians. His loyal wife, the cold and untouchable Imperial Countess Helene von Auen, refuses to abandon him. She leaves the golden cage of the capital behind to save her husband's life at any price. Riding at her side is her devoted bodyguard, the Master Knight Daniel Keller—for whom his iron oath weighs heavier than his own blood. Yet time flows relentlessly through the hourglass. The only path to the rescuing fortress leads straight through the notorious Blackthorn Forest—a green hell teeming with lethal monsters and suffocating magic. Helene has no other choice. She hires Kaspar and Rurik, two rough, ruthless mercenaries, to guide her safely through the thicket. These men live for gold... but in the sultry, primal darkness of the forest, the mere presence of the flawless Countess soon awakens entirely different, far darker desires. Trapped between constant mortal danger and an ancient, awakening bloodline curse that tears at her mind, Helene must make unspeakable decisions. How much of her aristocratic dignity is she willing to sacrifice to purchase the survival of her beloved husband? And what happens when her cool reason gradually yields to raw, animalistic urge?

Good news: I’ve traveled through time. Bad news: I’ve landed inside a book I’ve never even read. So… what should I do? Fortunately, before crossing over, I happened to watch a video made by a fellow book fan. According to it, survival is simple—just follow these rules: Assassin potions are the safest path. … If you want a hobby, buy a telescope and spend your nights watching the stars. The officials in this world are extremely dangerous. To them, you’re nothing but a heretic to be eliminated. If you run into them, grab the pistol at your side without hesitation. … Stuck with no hope of promotion? Recite Amon’s honorable name—you’ll be “sent” straight to an angel. Facing an impossible dilemma? Shout “Leodro” to the sky, and every problem will vanish. Perfect, right? Assassin pathway, stargazing in my free time, shoot first when meeting the authorities, call Leodro when things get tough, and pray to Amon if I can’t advance. Survival formula complete in seconds. Looking at the task list in his hand, Loen felt incredibly pleased with himself. … Years later, Loen had already ascended to angelhood. Yet, staring at that same task list—still blank, with not a single goal accomplished—he let out a long sigh. “How did I end up achieving nothing at all?”

What does it mean to be a true hero? By day, brash and cocky Micheal Frills is just another high school student navigating friendships, family, and the mundane struggles of teenage life. By night he’s a vigilante cleaning up the streets one criminal at a time. But when a sadistic mastermind, Shadow, emerges from the darkness, Micheal finds himself trapped in a twisted psychological game that will test everything he believes about justice, and morality. Shadow doesn't just want to defeat Micheal—he wants to break him. To prove that beneath the hero's ideals lies a killer waiting to emerge. Shadow's method is brutal and calculated: he doesn't attack Micheal directly. Instead, he systematically destroys everyone Micheal loves. His friends become targets. His ideals become weapons turned against him. And the line between hero and killer begins to blur. True Hero is a character-driven story that follows Micheal's desperate attempt to maintain both worlds—the peaceful slice-of-life moments with friends at the park, late-night movie marathons, and school drama that remind him what he's fighting for, and the gritty reality of street justice that threatens to consume him entirely. A slow-burn psychological thriller that examines the price of heroism, the weight of morality, and the thin line between justice and vengeance. Through the eyes of Micheal Frills and the time spent around his friends, True Hero explores what happens when virtues like trust, hope, and courage are weaponized against good people. True Hero contains mature themes including graphic violence, sexual assault, suicide, abuse, trauma, and death. Reader discretion is advised.

Hax never imagined that a dusty CD containing an old pixel game—an ambitious project he created years ago—would change his fate. Driven by nostalgia, he decides to run the game once more. But the moment it boots up, a mysterious spatial distortion appears and pulls him into a completely unfamiliar world. When he regains consciousness, Hax quickly notices something strange. The interface windows, status notifications, even the magic mechanics feel painfully familiar—almost identical to the RPG system he once designed. And yet, this world is not the one he created. The maps are unknown, the races were never part of his plans, and the history feels alive, independent, and far beyond his imagination. It becomes clear that someone—or something—has used his creation as the foundation for this reality. Trapped between reality and his own design, Hax must rely on his knowledge of the system to survive. But the deeper he investigates, the more he realizes that a greater mystery lies hidden beneath the surface of this world—one that may be connected to the very reason he was brought here. Is Hax merely a “player” in this world… or a crucial piece in a far greater scenario? And most importantly—does a path back to his original world still exist?

He died nobody. He woke up as nobody. No golden finger. No cheat stats. No kind system that hands out free levels for killing slimes. Alexei Vetrov, failed delivery courier, beat half to death in a Bronx alleyway — opens his eyes in a body that isn't his, in a world he recognizes with dawning, gut-dropping horror. The Marvel Universe. And the clock is already ticking toward Thanos's Snap. His System has one rule: **earn it or DIE.** No quests. No dungeons. No free gifts for new users. The Development System tracks real growth — genuine physical conditioning, true overcoming of limits — and awards its currency, Will Points, only for achievements that cost something real. Push yourself past the edge? Maybe you get a point. Repeat the same feat tomorrow? Nothing. The bar rises with you, always just out of reach, always demanding more. In a world of gods, supersoldiers, ancient sorcerers, and creatures that could level a city block, Alexei starts with: - Strength: 3 - Agility: 4 - Endurance: 3 - Perception: 5 - Will Points: 0 And an apartment so grim even the cockroaches had standards. What follows is not a power fantasy. It is something rarer — the story of a man who claws his way upward through sweat, blood, broken bones, and ice-cold showers, forging himself into something the universe didn't plan for. From the back alleys of New York to the training halls of SHIELD's black sites. From the brutal tutelage of a legendary mercenary to the hidden dimension of Ta Lo and the ancient mystery of qi. From a nobody who almost got flattened by a car during a Hulk fight to someone that Nick Fury, Tony Stark, and Natasha Romanoff cannot quite figure out how to file away. He knows the plot. He knows who dies, who betrays who, and what's coming on a cosmic scale. What he doesn't know is whether any of it can be changed — or whether knowing the future just means watching it happen with perfect clarity. **The system doesn't make you stronger. It just ensures you never lose what you bled for.** The rest is up to you. *Tags: System, Marvel, Slow Progression, Realistic Training, No Easy Path, SHIELD, Avengers Adjacent, Cultivation Elements, Hard Work Beats Talent (Eventually), Philosophical MC, Male Lead, Gradual Powerup, No Harem (For Now)*

Mastermind MC | OP MC In a world without magic, monsters, or heroes, Kai was nothing. Until everything was taken from him. Betrayed. Crippled. Left to rot in a hospital bed. Then something answered. [Emotion Harvest System activated.] He learned one thing. Pain has value. Fear has value. Despair has value. And if you can control emotion, you can control everything. So he stopped thinking about revenge. And started building something bigger. A Demon to terrify the world. A Hero to save it. Both under his control. Now the world worships salvation by day, and screams in terror at night— never realizing it all belongs to the same hand. There are no heroes. There are no villains. Only a man behind the curtain. (No romance. Solo protagonist.)

Growing up, all Raven ever wanted was a life free of misery and constant fuckery. However, perhaps, he should have been careful about his wishes. Because, one day, he found himself in a cursed realm of monstrous horrors with others. [Wicked Moon harkens] [Rejoice for you have been blessed] In this cursed realm, there is a callous moon high above that was very much alive and thriving in their despair. And on the land are endless mysteries with harrowing truth about the previous dwellers of this forgotten world and its connection with Earth. The deeper he dived into this world, the crazier it got. [Arcane Sigil: Immoral Garden of the Wild] [Innate Skills: [Natural Spatial Awareness], [Greater Accelerated Regeneration]--] Endowed with mysterious abilities, Raven must navigate past the ancient terrors and schemes.

To have the ability to see into people's past has no real appeal for the teenager this story is about, letting him only use it as amusement and to show off when he was drunk. Never look into someone's past beyond a superficial level. Never try to find out more than you should. NEVER. EVER. LOOK. INTO. THE. FUTURE. But everything changed the moment he was forced to look into the future, was forced to investigate the circumstances of a murder, and was forced to make the acquaintance of the victim's twin brother('s fists). The more time passed, the more it appeared that the primary reason for this murder wasn't a local, but a global one. This single, marred corpse was the beginning of a threat that would shake the world. (MC loses a screw when he enters the prison.)

Eustraehee'Elim has served the God of death for over a century. She has never compromised; she has never bent. She has always slaughtered. When the sea-crossers came to Kinlidalh, they brought their companies, their luminants, and their false Blessings — powers stolen, as far as Eustraehee is concerned, from the only God worth bleeding for. Now they carve her homeland into tidy pieces while her people forget what they once were. Her plan is simple. Turn the companies against each other. Let the luminants destroy themselves. Bleed everyone who stands in the way. The problem is that her allies keep asking her to stop. A dark fantasy about faith, massacres, and the one thing a hundred-and-twenty-nine-year-old immortal high priestess refuses to learn.

She is royalty, raised in honor and tradition. He is a king of the underworld, feared and untouchable. Aadhira Rajput—the princess who dances like moonlight itself—has no idea that somewhere, a dangerous man has been watching her from the shadows, obsessed with a girl he doesn’t even know. Rea Min doesn’t believe in love… only control. But the moment he steps into her world, everything changes. Because Aadhira isn’t just a princess— She is the calm before a storm that could destroy empires. And when love mixes with obsession, power, and revenge… There is no escaping the darkness.

Ji Hun Min, a rising boxing star, faces an impossible choice: throw the biggest match of his career to save his mother's life, or fight with honor and lose everything. When a photo of him taking the bribe goes viral, his reputation shatters overnight. Now he must fight not just for belts, but for redemption in a world that has already judged him.

Some contracts are written in ink. His was written in blood and he never signed it. Dante Kōgetsu is the best at what he does. No target too difficult. No contract refused. No emotion wasted. He built his reputation on one principle: finish the job and walk away clean. Then a contract arrived with a photograph inside. Her face. Sophie Arisaka. The only person who ever made him feel like a human being rather than a weapon. He faked her death, lied to the client, and told himself it was a calculated decision. It was not. Now he is hunting the anonymous man who ordered her death and every step closer reveals a truth he is not ready for. The man behind the contract is Edward Yashiro. His oldest friend. A person who loved Sophie, lost her, and let that loss rot into something unrecognizable. What Dante does not know yet is that Edward knows everything. The demons Dante carries inside him Kairo and Mūn were not accidents. They were placed there deliberately, by someone who chose him before he was old enough to refuse. And every time Dante uses their power, he pays a price no one warned him about. He loses her. Not Sophie herself. The memories of her. One by one. Quietly. Irreversibly. The job was supposed to be simple. It became a war against an old friend, against the man who made him, and against the clock running silently inside his own mind. Some things cannot be unforgiven. Some prices cannot be unpaid. Some contracts were never meant to end.

In a Palace built on lies, Queen Silver’s reign is a fragile mask. To survive a corrupt Council, she strikes a bargain with a shadow from the fringe: a nameless Wraith, a void-shifting darkness. Silver as the face; the Wraith as the blade. But as the scent of ozone and bitter almonds fills the halls of power, the line between the Sovereign and her Shadow begins to blur. In a world of high-stakes deception and supernatural executions, only one thing is certain: every Crown needs a Wraith, and every Wraith is hungry for the one wearing the Crown.

Challengers. While the Awakened are pampered by the system’s conveniences, Challengers die thousands of times to clear a single floor of the Tower. Pure lunatics. They rejected the Awakening and its comforts for one simple reason—satisfaction. It’s only natural to want to beat a game of hellish difficulty—even if it has become reality.  Always advancing. Even if they die a thousand deaths, figuring out how to clear the floor is everything. Every floor is different. Rules. Scenarios. No two are the same. And the challenge is always solitary. Groups? Groups are for the weak. Challengers are built differently. Kittens inside the tower, but lions outside of it. Lucca is one of them. 1,238 attempts—his reward for completing the tutorial? A few attribute points.  The faster the completion, the better the reward. --- "What should I try this time?" Smiling, Lucca spoke as he brought his hands together... "Field." "Space." "Reach." His pinkies touched. Ring, middle, and index fingers overlapped, and finally, his thumbs curved upward.  The seal was complete. The Sanskrit symbols glowed. Change. Rule. Me. And his enemies never even touched him... --- What was his rank on the third floor? Spoiler—it wasn't 1st.

Kael was never a normal child. From the moment he was born, something mysterious existed within him. As he grows older, powerful souls begin to awaken inside his body—Dark Smiler, the Demon Lord, the Devil King, the Divine Soul, and the Void. But these souls do not appear all at once. Some challenge him through battle, some test him through negotiation, and some appear in ways that no one can predict. Each soul carries its own power, personality, and ancient secrets. Kael slowly realizes a terrifying truth: his body may not truly belong to him. He might only be a vessel chosen to contain these forces of darkness, divinity, and destruction. By his side is a mysterious AI companion capable of taking a human form, guiding him through a world filled with hidden dangers and forgotten history. But Kael’s journey becomes even more complicated when he encounters Fake Kael, an enemy who challenges his identity and existence itself. After countless battles and sacrifices, Kael eventually dies… But his story does not end there. He is reincarnated. Now he must uncover the truth behind the five souls within him and face a destiny that could either save the world… or destroy it completely. When darkness, divinity, and the void exist within one person… Will he become the world's savior—or its greatest disaster?
