In a distant past, the seven Ancestral Beasts clashed, and the blood they spilled rained onto the entire plane, infecting humans and animals alike, making them part of their powerful bloodlines. As a small village’s hunter, Liam was unaware of the consequences of that legendary battle. His sole goal was to become a cultivator to gain the strength and resources he needed to avenge his family. Yet, when Liam’s Ancestral Bloodline awakened, he uncovered a connection between his family’s killers and the Dragon King, a connection that could expand his revenge to the entire Kingdom. -------------------- Discord link: https://discord.gg/mefzf3aQJ8 Instagram: eocnovels X: @EoCNovels Cover artist: https://digitalrowye.com

For two millennia, the land has been ruled by mindless monsters. The hero has descended–and he is dead. Only one knows the truth. In a brutal world, a talentless child might not have the power to save humanity, but with a mind forged in calculation and madness, he may have just enough to avenge the brother he lost.

Ethan Crowe walked out of prison after seven years with nothing to his name and nowhere to belong. The world he returned to was unrecognisable. Gates had torn open across the globe, monsters roamed beyond human control, and society now revolved around the Titled - people chosen by mysterious voices and granted supernatural powers that made them heroes, weapons, and rulers all at once. Ethan wasn’t one of them. Not at first. Lost, angry, and with no future worth chasing, Ethan was barely surviving when a voice finally spoke to him. "Your Title is… Lord Of Beasts." But something about his awakening was wrong. Instead of gaining power in the real world like every other Titled, Ethan awakened a System tied to the Tower Of Beasts - a brutal, game-like world he can only enter while asleep. Inside the Tower, Ethan must fight for survival against monstrous creatures, earning power through a system of skills, evolution, and beasts. As for the beasts he acquires there? They persist beyond his dreams... Registered as an E Rank Titled with only D Rank potential, Ethan should have been insignificant. Yet the Lord of Beasts cannot be measured by ordinary standards. As Ethan grows stronger at an impossible rate, his existence begins to ripple outward - drawing the attention of elite Titled, criminal syndicates, and forces lurking behind the Gates themselves. His past refuses to stay buried, his beasts grow more dangerous, and the truth behind his Title hints at something far more terrifying than anyone realises. In a world ruled by power, Ethan Crowe starts at the bottom. But as the Lord of Beasts, it’s only a matter of time before he climbs to the top! Note: The novel is a gritty version of the typical hunter/awakener novels with a beast twist, which I hope you will enjoy Discord Server: https://discord.gg/c34nURr72W P.S.

"This is a world-first story. The history is the story. Stay with it." The world has ended before. Not in myth. Not in metaphor. It ended completely — gods unmade reality reaching for something they were never meant to hold, and existence corrected itself the only way it knows how. It took fifty thousand years to forget. Another hundred thousand to rebuild. It is about to happen again. This is not one story. It is many — stitched together across millennia, told through the eyes of those who lived inside a world that carries its own wounds forward. A nameless being waking in a summoning circle, learning what it means to exist. A woman who hesitated when she should have fought, and traded a year of her life for knowledge that is quietly unmaking her. A girl in an apothecary being handed a promise she doesn't yet understand. They do not know each other. Not exactly. But the world remembers. It always remembers. Stay long enough and you will see how the threads connect — how every choice echoes, how every name given in love becomes a weight carried forward, how the pattern emerging beneath the history is not a mystery to be solved but a wound that never fully closed. Knowledge is the weapon. History is the scar. And somewhere in the silence between chapters — You will realize you already care.

Their modern world vanished in an instant... A group of students were suddenly thrown into a strange world called Murim, where power ruled everything and the law of the jungle was the only truth. Here, the weak were doomed to die slowly. Among them was Raven, an ordinary figure who harbored a secret he did not understand. Even before the incident, he was often haunted by strange dreams about a mysterious man in an old pavilion. But after arriving in Murim, those dreams changed. They became fragments of memories that felt too real to be illusions. Every step Raven took in search of answers dragged him deeper into a world of powerful sects, bloody battles, and dark mysteries that entangled his fate. What is the connection between himself and Murim? Why are other people's memories embedded in his head? And when all the secrets are finally revealed... Is Raven ready to accept who he truly is and lose what he must sacrifice to survive? Meanwhile, in a world that swallows them whole, one thing is certain “Power is not just a tool for survival. It is the only truth.”

She was never chosen to save the world — she was forged to survive it. Etani is a half-fae assassin who understands the rules of survival: power is taken, mercy is punished, and every victory has a cost. She was never meant to be a heroine — only a weapon. When fate drags her from the shadows into the heart of political and divine conflict, Etani is stripped of her power, betrayed by courts and gods alike, and forced into leadership she never wanted. Each battle reshapes her. Each choice costs her something she cannot replace. As assassinations give way to crowns, and kingdoms become bargaining chips for gods, Etani must navigate brutal power struggles, shifting alliances, and enemies who would rather break her than kill her. Survival demands sacrifice. Power demands blood. And destiny does not care who it destroys along the way. This is a dark epic fantasy of ruthless survival, morally complex choices, and a female lead who does not seek redemption — only control over the chaos determined to consume her. For readers who enjoy dark fantasy, morally grey protagonists, and stories where power is both weapon and curse, Etani is a completed 12-book saga of transformation, vengeance, and the thin line between predator and prey. Content Warning: This series contains graphic violence, sexual content, torture, murder, cannibalism, domestic and sexual abuse, mental illness (including depression and suicidality), abortion, and miscarriage.

Growing up, Jurgen carried an unyielding hatred that he could not understand or explain. It stayed with him through his early years as a constant pressure, manifesting as a persistent need to punish something or someone, though nothing ever seemed sufficient to match what he felt. Over time, this unresolved weight pushed him to blame the world itself, especially as he moved through repeated hardships that forced him to grow stronger both in ability and in his desire for power. Alongside this, Jurgen lived with an illness that affected his health and continuously interfered with his journey, adding another layer of strain to his existence and shaping the way he moved through the world. As he matured, Jurgen drifted away from any sense of conventional morality and eventually became a rogue criminal. He was cold, calculated, and highly manipulative, acting without hesitation when it benefited him directly. Whether through deception or killing, he did not restrain himself. He was never the type to act as a hero or place himself in sacrifice for others; in situations of survival, he would always choose himself without hesitation, even if it meant cutting off any path that allowed others to advance. In time, Jurgen would grow greatly in the power he had been pursuing and uncover the true source of his hatred as well as his history. However, understanding it did not alter his direction. Instead, he chose to continue forward on the same path, no longer driven by ignorance but by conscious intent. From that point onward, he evolved beyond a mere criminal into something far more absolute, becoming a tyrannical existence shaped by awareness, conviction, and the refusal to turn back…

Lost in the forest of Noctsylva, where magic devours everything and every creature is a predator, Thalen must learn to survive, hunt, and understand his new nature.

In a world where the fabric of reality is fraying, an ancient prophecy foretells the arrival of a demon whose power is destined to annihilate all life on Earth. As whispers of his coming spread, panic grips humanity, forcing the distinct factions of Seraphites, Netherites, and mundane humans to confront their own demons—both literal and figurative. The Seraphites, once revered as guardians, have become rigidly dogmatic, struggling against their own fears and doubts about faith. The Netherites, a society of outcasts mutated by demonic influence, wrestle with their monstrous natures and the primal instincts that threaten to consume them. Meanwhile, ordinary humans are caught in a web of chaos, trying to carve out a survival in a world where monsters roam freely. Entangled deep in the web of warfare is the demon in question, Tristan. Contrary to his role in the prophecy, his arrival on Earth motivates him to seek freedom from the shackles of Hell. As the clock ticks toward the prophecy's fulfillment, Tristan is forced to fight against all factions, including his own brethren. Through epic battles and fierce self-discovery, Tristan learns that true evil isn't determined by one's origin but by the content of their heart. In Darkheart, the fate of existence hangs in the balance as the characters confront their worst fears and grow stronger, unlocking the potential within to become the ultimate force against the darkness threatening to engulf their world.

Hi. I'm Alex Walker. Ten years old, all elbows, and the strongest thing about me used to be my smell. No parents. They left me a box and disappeared. Inside the box was a ring. The ring shook. I told myself I was tired. I was not tired. Now there's a girl living in my head who won't tell me her real name, a screen in front of my eyes with numbers that go up when I eat things I really shouldn't be eating, and a lot of monsters who'd like a word. Is it gross? Yes. Does it work? Also yes. Go from walking lollipop to something the Hunters can't explain, one bad meal at a time. ...What do you mean, "what's the catch"?
