Previously, it was called Reincarnated as a Supernatural Horror Entity. Jack, a content creator for mystery, horror, and conspiracy stories, died and was reborn as a formless ghost. He acquired the system-panel like ability to get stronger. He could earn new supernatural traits. And he could even evolve and gain new incarnations. The problem was... he was now in an alternate Earth. The one that was still in the Industrial Revolution Era. The one with cursed steam engines, monster-infested sea exploration, mysterious pirates, supernatural powers, mythical creatures, demonic entities, and completely different geography. Jack had to adapt and survive. Thus, the legends of the Circle of Jacks appeared in that world. Transcendent incarnations of Jack made their impacts in this new world... o Jack Mystery, the mysterious specter, o Judge Jack, the rakshasa of judgement, o Jack Night, the steamrune engineer and treasure hunter, o Racer Jack, the kamaitachi speedster vigilante, and o Jack Lantern, the devil puppet who decided to be a bizarre puppeteer.

Long ago, the earth was a perfect symphony of life, until human greed shattered the fragments of the Aether Stone—the magical core that sustained the world’s rotation. In an instant, time itself seemed to cease its ticking. The world was torn asunder; one half scorched to ashes by a relentless sun, while the other was trapped in an eternal frozen night beneath the shroud of the Blood Red Moon. In the frozen half of the world, every falling snowflake is a tear of regret for those who destroyed the earth. The remnants of humanity now seek refuge behind the Great Wall of PETERUM-MAN, a technological fortress harboring dark secrets behind every hiss of its steam engines. Nugia (Subject 009), an innocent youth, awakens with no memories. He is trained to become an instrument of demise, an emotionless Assassin under the iron fist of Lord Vier. Yet, within his veins pulses a primordial power known as the blue-Azure Sasmita—an anomaly capable of halting the very flow of time. Alongside his comrades in fate, Nugia is ensnared in a vortex of betrayal and horrific human experimentation. As the trails of his past begin to unravel through his mother’s secret recordings, Nugia realizes he is no mere soldier. He is the Heir of Sasmita, the ultimate key to reuniting the nine fragments of the Aether Stone. Will Nugia be able to rewind a dead world? Or will he crumble before the true dawn can ever shine upon the earth once more? "When this symphony is whole, the earth shall turn again. Yet beware, for the sunlight sometimes bears a curse far worse than the darkness."

A 40-year-old man suddenly dies and is reincarnated in a world devastated by zombies—but instead of becoming a hero or a survivor, he wakes up as a zombie girl.

Curious, thirst for any new knowledge, and thrilled for any nascent stimulation. Like a color of White that is filled with an insatiable wanderlust to behold the other colors that aren't lacking of any color such as hers… the color of blankness itself in which a Void doesn't even have any meaning… it is the color of total vacuity in which the idea of emptiness does not even exist, However meaningless it is, however empty and barren the path will be… so long a motherly whisper within Nothingness keep embracing her to "Aere" every "New" thing… she endures, her steps continue… Erynew, henceforth, is to be her name… the name for a Being seeking for the meaning of her lacking of lack itself, Waking up every day, looking at many Realities through the bright yellow eye lens of hers as if seeing them for the very first time, and for the first time indeed she feels like she is at home in this Reality. Wanting, thus, to nurture this Reality… to lightly embrace its Shell and carefully not to crack it open for her White to enter, Alas, the Sin of this Reality has become too much of a burdening curse, weighing the Kin who are living in this Reality that they might as well crack the Shell itself from the inside… and with Erynew being the Devil herself, the Sin of Kin is, too, weighing her down.

Spider-Man in DC is a Spider-Man tragedy that burns through the common expectations to expose DC's demented dark side. Jake is a protagonist pitted against the best and worst in DC from the second he steps into this world. He goes from moments of humanness with Catwoman to absolute terror as he gets tortured in the hands of Harley Quinn and Gotham. He might survive a brutal battle against Batman, only for the universe to send the cosmic bounty hunter, Lobo -- The Main Man himself -- on his tail. Some things are not meant to be survived, and Jake finds out the hard way. However, nothing is impossible. Even in the absoluteness of Death, Jake survives and adapts. He doesn't rise above his trauma. He metabolizes it, and uses it against the very world that wants to destroy him. A/N: Nothing good happens in this story. The first volume is a villain origin story, and the origin is that the world made him useful. Be advised: Gore (MC gets tortured in Arc 2), body horror, chemical compulsion played as horror not fetish. Your favourite characters will get hurt. Volume Structure: Volume 1: Death appears (Death happens): #1 - #85 Volume 2: Despair appears (The world loses Hope). #86 - Present Volume 3: Destruction comes in (The World Ends) Volume 4: Desire takes control (Peace was always a lie) Volume 5: Delirium (the world unmade itself) Volume 6: Dream (the game was always rigged). Volume 7: Destiny (In the end, this was always the path). Volume 8: The End (The Hour is Nigh).

Mature Content... 1996, the world was still analog, disconnected, and blissfully unaware of the digital storm on the horizon.

From the "plagiarism" of legendary works to the strategic acquisition of the world's most undervalued IPs, Marvin begins a cold, calculated climb to the top. ​While his classmates at his elite L.A. school worry about grades, Marvin is busy recruiting a young Mark Zuckerberg, filing predatory tech patents, and building a multi-national empire that spans the US, Japan, South Korea, and China. In a world fueled by human desire, there is no greater predator than an Incubus who knows exactly what the future wants before it even exists.

**Mature Content** Adeline Valois was a broken Omega because of a lifetime of abuse. Following her mother’s death, her father’s remarriage introduced a stepmother and stepsister who stripped Adeline of her dignity, forcing her to live as a servant in her own house. When the call for a royal bride arrived, she was discarded, traded like a burden to the one man in Valdaria whose name alone could chill the blood of the bravest warriors. Gideon Knightley, the kingdom’s eldest prince, was the legendary "Golden Alpha." Though his title suggested brilliance, his reputation was one of ruthless wickedness. Yet, a darker secret loomed: Gideon was cursed, and the price of that curse would be paid in blood by the woman who won his heart. No high-ranking family would dare gamble their daughter’s life on his volatile nature, leaving Adeline to be offered up like a sacrificial lamb to a wolf. However, the kingdom’s expectations were shattered the moment they met. A dark, possessive obsession took root in Gideon’s cold heart, transforming the predator into a protector. He vowed to become a mate whose singular devotion would be whispered of for centuries. Adeline, who had spent a lifetime fearing the chains of marriage, found herself falling for a man who did not just offer his hand but surrendered his entire soul to her, demanding nothing in return but her presence. ~~~~ "I am a broken Omega, Prince," she blurted out. "And your mother... She cares for you. She only suggested a way to protect you from whatever curse you carry. I simply saw a chance for the freedom I've never been allowed to have." Gideon spun on his heels with predatory speed. His hand moved to the back of her head, his fingers tangling in her hair as he surged forward, drawing her so close that even the air between them vanished. "No one cares for me," he hissed, his eyes burning with a dark, golden fire. "You think I am a fool, don't you? You placed your trust in the Luna Queen after a single meeting, yet you could not bring yourself to trust my words. Freedom? That is a word you will forget. I am going to show you exactly what happens when you listen to others, especially that woman."

In the beginning, I was reborn as the third Golden Crow, younger brother to Di Jun and Tai Yi. Armed with a perfect memory of the original timeline, I refused to let the tragedy of the Lich Wars repeat itself. In this life, I chose a different path: I would remain on the Sun Star, a silent sentinel, never once setting foot in the mortal realms. I became the "Steady Golden Crow," cultivating my power in isolation while the world below spiraled into chaos. I watched from the solar flames as the Witch Clan—the Wu—conquered the prehistoric world, their ambition growing until they finally dared to cast their eyes upward. They launched a final, desperate assault to seize the Sun Star itself. -------------------------------------------------- this is a translation all credit goes to original author: 虎头蛇尾 RAW: 洪荒：吾为第三只金乌，稳健不出

My name is Zhang Fusheng, an ordinary person in the age of high martial arts. But I can buy anything, and sell anything. Root Bone, Enlightenment, Cultivation, Luck, Longevity, and even Identity and Fate. All it takes is a Contract. But the trader must be willing. So, I sell wealth to the poor and buy their health. I also sell health to the seriously ill and buy their Enlightenment. I kept the Enlightenment for myself. I bought decades of sword training from hundreds of swordsmen, creating a sword immortal who has been practicing for ten thousand years. I even made a deal with the Evil God trapped in the abyss, selling Him freedom and buying His loyalty. But I found that this was too slow. So, I created a secret society in the shadows, where people freely trade everything they need. Rights, power, everything and anything. I take a commission. And as time went on, people started calling me...... Infinite Celestial Venerate.
