On the anniversary of his 50th year of hatching, human hunters found the clan and slew them. Storm lost himself into hatred and vengeance and for 50 years he hunted and killed humans mercilessly until a chance encounter with a childhood friend he though long dead freed him of the madness that plagued him.

Generally speaking, if I have to get reincarnated into a comic book world, I would hope to avoid the grim darkness of the DC Universe entirely. If I absolutely must end up in DC, I would pray to avoid high-risk death traps like Gotham City—famous for its "simple and honest" citizens. But if I’m stuck in Gotham? Please, at least give me a System. This kid just wants to survive. [Self-Made System Loaded. Please work hard to generate wealth. As the saying goes: Money is power. As long as you aren't penniless, you will always have a chance to rise.] Jude Sharp breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing his hands together. At least he had a cheat code in this dangerous world. One month later. The Dark Knight swooped down from the night sky, crashing through the skylight. In mere seconds, the restaurant staff were left with broken bones and concussions. Jude stood on the sidewalk, staring blankly at the restaurant where he’d finally found a job. There went his workplace. There went his boss. And there went the salary he was supposed to collect tomorrow. "Where is my money?! Batman, I have a shift starting at 8 AM!"

My antagonist are people with thought and their own plans, they are capable of adjusting if things don't work out their way. Have a fun time reading.

Heaven never intended to create this world. a brutal system where mere strength is never enough. The world is too vast and ancient, governed by hostile laws so perilous they are barely worth the risk. Here, even your own eyes can turn against you. To survive, Lyn must master the world’s unforgiving logic. Cultivation is a lethal negotiation with heaven itself, a path paved with Heavenly Blockades: internal beasts, solitary executioners, and duels against one’s own reflection. Every step forward risks permanent ruin. -------------- Using ai for grammar, my pacing is worser than one piece and basically just expermenting

The world has always hidden its monsters. Not the creatures of myth or legend, but the people who operate in the shadows, shaping history without ever appearing in it. When a mysterious substance known as Haikitium begins changing the balance of power, two secret organizations find themselves locked in a conflict that could alter the future of humanity. One seeks control. The other seeks to stop them. Caught between them are individuals transformed into something beyond ordinary human limits. As old secrets surface and new threats emerge, the line between weapon and person begins to blur. Alliances are tested, loyalties fracture, and questions arise that neither side is prepared to answer. But this is not the story of a war. It is only one chapter in a much larger world. A world where heroes, villains, myths, monsters, and forgotten powers exist beyond the edges of what is known. A world whose greatest conflicts have not yet begun. For now, the shadows are moving. And someone is preparing for what comes next.

[Cover Character: Giselle Frost.] Elias Kane was supposed to be done. He had survived too many beautiful disasters, too many obsessive women, and too many games where love was just another name for ownership. He knew how to play innocent. He knew how to play desirable. He knew how to turn sweetness into a weapon and vulnerability into a trap. All he wanted now was a clean exit. Then he woke up in a near-future world built on female power, old money, public elegance, and private cruelty. Here, powerful women do not need to shout to be terrifying. They sign contracts. They buy silence. They smile for cameras, donate to hospitals, fund universities, and ruin lives with perfect manners. And Elias has landed directly in their line of sight. A cold CEO who mistakes possession for care. A woman who smiles softly even when she is about to ruin someone. A campus goddess wrapped in wealth, beauty, coldness, and quiet cruelty. A doctor who can open the mind and leave damage no one else can see. Every one of them wears perfection beautifully. Every one of them knows how to lie. Every one of them is capable of ruining him without ever raising her voice. This time, Elias is not walking into a messy romance plot he can outplay with patience and a better performance. He is walking straight into a inescapable cage built from contracts, surveillance, coercion, and desire sharp enough to cut. One wrong step, and he will lose more than his freedom. He will become something to keep, control, and ruin. Unfortunately for them, Elias has never been as helpless as he looks. He understands women like this. He understands hunger dressed up as tenderness, cruelty dressed up as protection, and obsession dressed up as love. All he wants is to survive, cash out, and disappear. Unfortunately, the women circling him have started wanting something else. By now, Elias understands the rule better than anyone. The cruelest women do not corner you. They draw you in. They make you step closer on your own. Then they close their hands and call it fate.

Author : Hold it right there, yes, I'm talking to you, I promise this won't take more that a minute — If you're a fast reader. Oh you stayed, wonderful. Here's the thing, I requested a webnovel contract for my story — yes this one — and it was rejected, but unlike the other people who would cry and take up a new story, I'm pissed, they had the guts to tell me my story isn't what the audience are looking for and I say fuck that! But I'm not giving up, I can't, my pride won't let me, I know what I had planned for this story and am telling you it has the potential to be on the top 10, no I'm not being delusional. So here's what's up, I want to proof them wrong and I need your help in during that, since we can't go golden or best seller. I say we dominate the power rankings. I'll upload the entirety of volume 1 here—not all at once, obviously —and then we'll move to patron for the others. Now you can continue, see you on the other side.... Godspeed Soldier. The Force Of Ender Remains With you. .......... We were deceived…. We all were. They never said that the Rapture would unleash these kind of monsters unto the earth. They never mentioned what would crawl out from the aftermath Rapture or what would be forced to crawl back in. The entirety of the earth was terraformed in an unrecognisable way, so much that it could not be called earth anymore…… Maps became things of old. Directions lost meaning. Even the sky stopped pretending to remember us. *Sigh* I did want I could to survive, but…. they died, one after another… Not all at once. That would have been mercy, mercy I would have begged for... People screamed. Some adapted. Others smiled before they broke. I kept count until the numbers started staring back at me. But things — things never go the way I plan… Or maybe they did— and that’s the part I don’t want to admit. As for me…. It turns out, I never really knew who I was. Not before the world — 'They' came for me. Not before freedom and survival demanded pain and sacrifices. I changed….. I became the very thing that I— Promised I wouldn’t. Feared I already was. *Sigh* Or hoped I was. I don’t know if someone is but— haha who am I kidding, I’m not that special I know that. *Sigh* But on off chance there is — If there’s someone out there writing my story…. Please… Drop the pen… Because I’m tired… *Sigh* so tired. _______ For images and discuss... Any suggestions you may have is most welcome, dm me up on discord.

Elia shouted as she tried to distance away from the beast that was stalking her. His gaze locked on her like she was his prey. "We have a contract; you cannot do this." She tried once again to reason with the other two men that were inside the room, for the one in front of her had already lost himself. Even after hearing her desperate plea, the only thing she received in return was a mocking laugh, "You should have thought about that before talking to another man. How dare you? How dare you let him near you when you belong to us?" "I am not yours!" Elia yelled tears pooling in her eyes. "Denial is a dangerous game, moonshine," the man said, "Especially when you are about to be marked as ours forever" At that moment, Elia knew. She knew that she was stuck with these monsters for this life and beyond.

In the year 2350, Earth changed forever. Portals tore open across the skies, unleashing monstrosities no human had ever faced. But with the monsters came awakening – humans gained power, ranks, and a status screen that defined their place in the new world. Two centuries later, power no longer belonged to politicians, but to the awakened. Damian Valcor, a bored 15-year-old, only cared about passing the entrance exam for an academy. But on the eve of the results, his life was overturned when he awakened the memories of his past life. A past life where he was not an ordinary man… But a ruthless mafia boss. To his shock, the world he now lived in was nearly identical to a novel he had once come across in his previous life. Although he remembered the world, he didn’t remember any of the characters of that novel. But he was sure of one thing. Damian Valcor was not one of the main characters. He was just a random Extra. With underworld cunning, ruthless ambition, and the knowledge of what lies in the future for this world, Damian must make sure to protect his loved ones, the loved ones he never had in his past life. He will make sure to snuff out the existence of any being who dared to endanger them. But for that… He needs to rise as the one pulling the strings. And to do that, he needed… Power. "Power isn’t granted, it’s taken – and I’ve had a lifetime of practice." ________________ Schedule:- 2 Chapter/Day for now.

- Disclaimer: Chapters are long and detailed. Slower pacing and character driven narrative. The Last Step is an epic fantasy spanning years of chapters, where history, ideology, science, and humanity collide in a world ruled by magic. Once, humanity stood at the bottom of existence. Magicless. Powerless. A race hunted to the brink of extinction. To the world, humans were little more than intelligent animals, fit to be enslaved, toyed with, or discarded. Their survival was never expected. Yet somewhere in forgotten history... someone changed that fate. Now, seven thousand years later, humanity stands beside the very races that once ruled over them, wielding magic that should have never been theirs. Few remember how that miracle came to be. Kaiser Everhart is one of them. Not as a chosen hero. Not with divine blessings. Not with overwhelming strength. Only with a mind that refuses to end his story. Born into a life that could only be described as hell, Kaiser Everhart grew up believing humanity was selfish, cruel, and undeserving of faith. All he ever wanted was a quiet life. A place where he could finally understand what happiness felt like. Instead, the world refused to leave him alone. Drawn into a continent where primordial beasts roam forgotten lands, where dragonics shape empires, elves preserve ancient civilizations, demons struggle against a curse of their own existence, beastkin, dwarves, and fairies each reign over fields humanity could never hope to rival, Kaiser finds himself standing among races that have mastered magic, divinity, and power over thousands of years. Yet the deeper his journey goes, the more one question begins to consume everything: Can humanity be saved... if humanity itself is its greatest enemy? This is not a story about becoming the strongest. It is a story about changing the world one impossible step at a time. Long before Kaiser Everhart was born, another man walked a remarkably similar path. One who devoted everything to humanity... Only to lose faith in it. As the past slowly awakens, two ideals begin moving toward an inevitable collision: The man who abandoned hope in humanity. And the man still searching for a reason to believe. Somewhere between them stands Kaiser Everhart, unaware that every step he takes is leading him toward the one person who understands him better than anyone else ever could. A slow-burning saga of politics, philosophy, science, war, romance, psychological manipulation, civilization-building, and the fragile hope that even the weakest race can create its own future. The road is long. The answers are earned. And every step matters. Discord: https://discord.gg/3tRarQqWJj

"Luca, please…" she cried. "You need to see who the devil really is. And decide if you want me that way," he said. "Because this is who I am. You either accept it or reject it." Luca's hand reached for a knife from the array of tools spread meticulously on the desk. "I wanted to prolong his suffering…" he murmured. "Luca…" she whispered. "But since this is a show and tell…" Without a pause, he cut the rope holding Inferi's wrists, letting the man drop heavily to the floor with a thud that made the room shudder. Inferi's eyes, wide with terror, flicked to Vee as his body twisted weakly under the weight of his injuries. "This isn't one of those times when you ask me to let someone go, I am going to kill him right here." "You have two choices," he continued. "Walk away right now, and I will accept that you will never accept who I am. Or stay and watch me kill him, to prove to me that you accept all of me, that you want all of me." "God, please, Luca, don't do this." Behind Luca, Inferi struggled weakly on the floor. Luca looked only at her. "It's simple, Vee. I am giving you a choice. I don't have a gun to your head, now, do I? Are you ashamed of who I am, or do you accept who I am?" "It's not so simple!" Vee yelled. "You're asking me to stand here while you take a life." "I will count to ten." He gestured with the knife toward the steel door behind her. "There is the door. Here is me." "Jesus!" Vee bit down on her lower lip. She squeezed her eyes shut. "Jesus Christ!" "One…" "Two…" She stepped toward him. "Three…" "I'm not running." She moved closer. "I will not run. I will stay." "Four…" Vee drew in a shaky breath, steadying herself against the tidal wave inside her. "I meant what I said last night. I said I love you. I meant it. But don't subject me to this. It will not change how I feel about you. It won't." She stepped even closer, until the knife hovered inches from her hip. "But it will most definitely change me." She swallowed hard. "If you make me stand here and watch this, you are not testing my love. You are reshaping me into something I may never recognize again." Her hands came up slowly and pressed against his chest. "I love the man who protects. The man who terrifies everyone else but holds me like I matter." Her eyes glistened, but she did not look away. "I know what you are. I accept what you are. But do not ask me to become it." "Five…" Luca moved behind Inferi now, the knife hovering at his throat. Vee's feet rooted to the floor, the edge of Luca's jacket gripped tightly in her fists. Her eyes, brimming with tears locked onto his, daring him to see, really see, what she was becoming in his presence. "Six…" he continued. He held the knife steady against Inferi's skin, a cold, absolute line of judgment, waiting. And in that pause, Luca realized a part of him wanted her to run, desperately. He wanted her to bolt, to retreat from this room of blood and fear, because maybe, just maybe, if she ran, he would see the futility of the obsession clawing at him from the inside. "Seven…" he murmured. "Eight…" "Nine…" Synopsis: She insulted the devil. He decided to own her. Veronica Scalese walks into New York’s elite club, ‘Commissioned’ by accident—and mouths off to the wrong man; Luciano Genovese popularly known as ‘The Devil’. He grants favours but gets your soul in return. When Luca comes to collect a debt from her father, the payment demanded is flesh. Veronica becomes both Luca’s weakness and his obsession. He burns his empire to the ground to keep her. Undressed by the Mafia God is a mafia romance story where power is foreplay, love is a liability, and the most terrifying thing a god can do… is fall.

Sometimes, life asks the cruelest questions… What hurts more? losing your dreams… or watching them break in front of you? A boy who speaks through music, in a world that never stops to listen. A girl who had everything, yet lost the only thing that mattered. The city kept moving… people kept passing… but for one moment, two broken lives collided. A guitar shattered on the street… a heart already in pieces… And then, a question that shouldn’t exist: Can love be bought? Or is it born only from pain? Sometimes, the people who destroy us… are the reason we find someone who understands us. This isn’t just a story about money or a deal… It’s about two souls running from themselves… only to find each other in the chaos. Because some stories aren’t written… they crash into your life without warning.
