dark

For years, the world has feared the dark for the wrong reasons. The Ashen Veil, a legendary order of assassins and information-brokers, once operated from the shadows to remove the cruel, the corrupt, and the untouchable. When they vanished into quiet retirement, crime did not end. It evolved. In their absence, nations empowered ruthless intelligence guilds that served crowns and councils, and politicians not justice. Fear became policy. Truth became a weapon. When an attempted purge nearly wipes the Veil from existence, their reluctant leader Kael Morvane pulls his broken family back into the war they swore was over. What begins as retribution becomes a continent-spanning shadow war that no one will forget. Will the darkness that once allowed the world to continue in peace or will the new world order remain in control. Or will someone else step forward from the shadows…

In the city of Threxa, Riven Thorn is just another ordinary boy. Poor, unnoticed, and dreaming of nothing greater than surviving tomorrow. That illusion shatters the night his village is slaughtered by werewolves led by the Alpha of the First Order, an ancient ruler believed to be untouchable. As chaos erupts, Riven’s mother, Tyrella, tries desperately to escape with him. They are ambushed. She is killed without mercy. Broken by grief and rage, Riven charges the monsters that destroyed his life—only to be struck down, his throat torn open, left to die in the dirt. But death does not claim him. Standing over his dying body, the Alpha commits a forbidden act thought impossible—he bites a human. Riven survives. And everything changes. Across the Four Werewolf Orders, a long-forgotten prophecy resurfaces: A human-turned-werewolf will rise, slaughter the Alphas, and reign as the Supreme Alpha. Fear spreads like wildfire. To werewolf society, Riven is an abomination neither fully human nor fully wolf. Before he can grow into the prophecy, the Orders unite with one goal: kill him first. Reborn into the lowest rank of werewolves, hunted relentlessly from the shadows, Riven begins a brutal journey of survival. He must master his unstable powers, control his transformations, and climb a ruthless hierarchy through blood-soaked battles one rank at a time. Each victory drags him deeper into the hidden world of werewolves, while pulling him further away from the humanity he once knew. By day, he struggles to live as a normal boy. By night, he becomes a monster feared by his own kind. As secrets behind the Orders unravel, Riven learns the prophecy may not be about destiny but choice. To reign supreme, he must defeat all Four Alpha Lords, shatter centuries of werewolf rule, and decide what he truly is: A human cursed by power… or a king forged by it.

Everyone in class received a divine gift. Kazuya, the guy who stole my childhood friend and made my life hell, was crowned SSS-rank Hero by the gods themselves. Me? They branded me F-rank trash and abandoned me in the world's strongest dungeon to die. No hidden power awakened. No goddess took pity. No system glitch turned me into a secret overlord. Just a discarded weakling. and the monster I'm prepared to become to drag that "Hero" down from his throne. [Can a tail of rot, turn to steel?]

Ryo carries within him a quirk as unstable as the legacy he inherited: the power to manipulate gamma radiation and the nuclear forces. He doesn’t want to be a symbol, nor to prove anything to the hypocritical society that despises him — Ryo wants to be his mother’s hero, for the one person who still believes he can be more than the greatest nuclear bomb in history.

“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? Also Edited on RoyalRoad.com , by the username MisterFiree/Louis Martinet

As his influence spreads across continents, enemies rise, wars begin, and countless schemes unfold in the shadows. Unfortunately for the world... Dante enjoys playing the game. What follows is the journey of a shameless, sarcastic, and terrifying individual whose greatest talent may not be his strength—but the fact that he is willing to do what others won't.

Nothing much to say, as the title itself is self-explanatory. MC reincarnated as Naoya Zenin. He tries to become strong while avoiding land mines, all while racking up affection from Maki and Mai. Something you need to keep in mind before reading this fanfic is this is a bit of an AU, as I adjusted the age difference a little, as, otherwise, MC can't interact with the main story. And MC is distrustful and a bit paranoid of others, so some of you might hate that side of him or find it annoying. This is a Harem fanfic. Not a big one, just three or four members maximum. And MC is very overpowered, not at the beginning but within 50 or so chapters. And It will have some Dark stuff, not too much, but there will be. And for the last and important one, just don't expect too much. Just turn your common sense off and read it. I posted some advance chapters on Patreon. You can give me some support through it.
