After dying on Earth, legendary assassin, Seraphina Ardent, awakens in the body of a despised noblewoman fated to become the wicked stepmother of a young werewolf heir. In a galaxy ruled by powerful Lycan clans, ancient magic, and interstellar wars, survival is never simple. Determined to rewrite her doomed fate, Seraphina unexpectedly finds herself protecting the lonely child she was meant to torment, and catching the attention of the empire's most feared Alpha, Kael Draven Lycanis.

Ronan is an orphan with a simple dream: to travel the world and protect the people he holds dear. He harbours no grand ambitions of heroism, nor does he crave wealth or noble status. However, in a society ruled by arrogant elites and governed by the rigid laws of Aether, a quiet life is a luxury he cannot afford.   Despite his humble desires, Ronan is born a pawn in a cruel game dictated by fate. While his peers boast of divine blessings and immense magical reserves, Ronan must survive through unparalleled physical prowess, razor-sharp strategy, and a mysterious, misunderstood fire. He navigates the treacherous halls of the Serenwyn Academy and battles deadly beasts in the wilderness, masking his true depth behind a calm, calculated facade.   Yet, Ronan’s greatest enemy isn't the corrupt nobility or the monstrous threats lurking in the shadows. There is a darkness residing within him—an inexplicable, consuming rage and a crushing weight of guilt. Like any flawed human being, he must constantly battle to keep this inner darkness from swallowing him whole.   As ancient conspiracies begin to surface and the safety of his loved ones is threatened, Ronan will stop at nothing to shield his family. He must conquer the monster within his own mind, or risk letting his fury burn the world to ashes. What to expect: Steady Release Schedule: Catch new chapters every day.

“Existence is a canvas we are given to paint as we see fit.” A single, silent voice echoed across the globe, shattering the illusion of the world as humanity knew it. They called themselves the Tohotsi, and their decree was absolute: accept a brutal evolution, or fade into the void of insignificance. In a fraction of a second, reality fractured. Time lost its meaning. The mundane gave way to an ancient, decaying truth. The world is no longer a home for humanity; it has become a blank, terrifying canvas governed by unfathomable laws and absolute predators. Thus began the dawn of the Qualia, the awakening of the pure, subjective essence of individual consciousness. Faced with a cosmic upheaval, survival is no longer a matter of physical strength. In a universe where trauma and fractured sanity can literally reshape reality, the true battle is fought within. When the mortal shell is paralyzed by primal terror, what happens when the mind awakens to a chilling, intoxicating fascination? To walk the one and only path of existence, one must transcend. But what, exactly, are we evolving into?

Tenrihines stands as the heart of the Galactic Empire, the last shield against the demons that once bled the galaxy dry. It has been twenty years since the Third Great War, a conflict so devastating that its final battlefield remains untouched, a wound carved into the planet itself.

Its greatest defenders are the warriors of the Special Task Force, Kia-powered soldiers whose strength, speed, and will have carried entire civilizations through the Great Wars. Within the STF rise legends whose names shape history: Morgot the Lion General, undefeated in battle. Optimus, the steadfast commander who returned to war despite his wounds. Ian, the empire’s ruthless strategist forged in the shadows of the Underground. Blade, the lightning-fast warrior whose precision splits mountains. For two decades, peace has endured. But peace never lasts. Portals begin to stir. Whispers of a forgotten evil spread across the planets. And the darkness defeated in the Third Great War… begins to rise again. This is the story of the warriors who will face it. The Greats who will be forged. And the war that will decide the fate of Deccounia.

This would be No.5 of Gamer Path, starting with a new MC after the previous one. The story tells of this path that opens to the world of the Pokemon Adventures series. The danger is constant, always filled with those in power doing as they please. Unlike your usual Gamers, this one chose a hard challenge as he requested to have the bare minimum of a Gamer System like those in Pokemon Games 'MENU' and an Arc Phone. After all, for a game, it needs to be challenging. And what better challenge in becoming a Pokemon Trainer than to rely on their abilities... "I wanna be the very best like no one ever was... a Pokemon Master."

Is One considered Inhuman simply because they lack the qualities of being a Human? Or does their Inhumanity merely hide whatever left of their Humanity? In truth, the only way to survive in a World who hates Humanity is to forsake them completely, yet does it resolve the problem that comes from being Inhuman? This story follows a Boy who remembered nothing of his bygone past, everything is a mere blur in his White Scape of Burned Self. He didn’t know who he was or what he was. His name and his mother remained hidden, forever a burned word in his mind that reels in and out of Wrath. Asking a question everyone is asking yet no one knows the answer to. “Who exactly am I in this world? What should I do? What is my purpose?” Hence his journey isn’t a grand quest to absolve a Great Evil or is it a pursuit of deeply personal vendetta. His story is a tangled web clashing with other story in a World that has no intention in keeping everyone alive. To ask himself, are those Inhuman capable of achieving Humanity? This is a deeply personal story rendered in a medium of Wuxia Fantasy, and beyond everything else this is an amateur work, expect a lot of mistakes and grammar errors. *This story tackles heavy theme such as depicted Child Abuse, Suicide and implied Sexual Content.

This is a rewritten book of a previous FF called : Mushoku Tensei: That forgotten mob Never would I’ve thought that a simple water ball would awaken those feelings inside of me, as the day passed, memories falling to pieces together to awaken an ability that brings me trauma and dread towards the future. As the day passed, more knowledge and different future that lies ahead of me appeared and scare me. I tried to bear through the world, and see what kind of struggle I can make before stopping at the juncture where I can make a change. In this godforsaken world… I wonder, what change can I make? tldr: Claude was just a brat—a village troublemaker with a sharp tongue and a sharper mind—until a prank gone wrong awakened something terrifying and impossible. Memories. Not from another life, but from many. Futures that never happened. Timelines that fractured. Pain that felt too real to be fiction. Now, armed with fragments of knowledge from alternate realities, Claude knows one thing: the peaceful village of Buena is not safe. A disaster is coming—the Mana Calamity—and no one is prepared. So Claude trains. Under Paul Greyrat's sword. Alongside Rudeus' magic. With grit, secrets, and a plan no one can know.
