"Making your own decisions by yourself... what does that really mean?" Most people never ask themselves that question, but some have no choice but to face it. Following an incident that caused the disappearance of the two people she relied on the most, Liu, a young girl just beginning her adolescence, is forced to face hardships on her own. Having lost her grandparents, the two pillars of her life, she had no choice but to make choices and decisions by herself... Good choices as well as bad ones... Good decisions as well as bad ones... This leads her to discover a new world—or rather, to discover the true vastness of the world she has lived in all along. An adventure filled with goals to accomplish, but uncertain outcomes...

Khan had always assumed that getting stabbed in a back alley would be bad for his future. Technically, he was correct. He woke up eighteen again, in another world, with no money, no connections, and absolutely no mana. In a civilization where magic determines everything from social status to whether someone can survive a mildly inconvenient monster attack, this was not an encouraging start. Fortunately, Khan did receive a System. Unfortunately, it has opinions. And sarcasm. Mostly sarcasm. No legendary bloodline. No sacred sword. No ancient magic waiting to awaken. What he does have is experience reading people, negotiating terrible deals into slightly less terrible ones, an unhealthy respect for compound interest, and the survival instincts of a man who has already died once and found the experience deeply overrated. So while heroes swing swords and archmages bend reality, Khan does what he knows best. He finds opportunities. A wrecked shipment. A desperate merchant. A coin, even suspicious ones. A princess who has absolutely no concept of reasonable spending. Small problems become profitable solutions. Profitable solutions become connections. And somewhere along the way, Khan begins attracting the attention of people far more dangerous than bankrupt merchants. Because in this world, power comes in many forms. Mana is merely the most obvious one. And Khan has none of it.

Dublin, 2130. 18-year-old James Ganner has nothing—no money, no future, no escape from the slums that killed his father and broke his mother. Then the System activates. [You have been selected. Choose your designation: Challenger or Civilian. Selection is permanent.] James chooses Challenger. He enters the 72-hour Tutorial where 80% die. Against all odds, he survives and receives the rarest class in existence: Necromancer. But survival was just the beginning. [FLOOR 1] [Mission Type: Kill 15 Hobgoblins] [Failure Condition: Death] James raised his hand, black energy coiling around his fingers. [Skill Activated: Soul Drain ] The dying hobgoblin convulsed as dark tendrils ripped the life from its body, feeding his mana pool. [You have killed Hobgoblin Warrior] [Progress: 1/15] The tower doesn’t care about heroes or villains. 300 floors. No backtracking. No second chances. Death is permanent. Every floor demands blood, and James’s necromancy feeds on corpses—the more he kills, the stronger he becomes. His goals are simple: escape poverty, punish the uncles who stole his inheritance, clear the tower, and uncover the truth behind why the towers appeared. In a world where only the ruthless survive, can a slum kid with nothing but cold determination and an army of the dead climb higher than anyone before him? The tower rewards only one thing: those who refuse to stay down. discord> https://discord.gg/Tm5kJuXzf

I died once reaching for a woman whose face I can no longer remember. Reborn into the Vorn Dynasty—a brutal family that rules over thirteen worlds along with other territories—I was supposed to be a genius. Instead, I was declared broken. My soul is fractured, my memories are gone, and my own siblings view me as nothing more than a lamb for the slaughter. But the cracks in my soul aren't empty. They're filled with something ancient. A piece of my past. [SYSTEM INITIALIZATION...] [SOUL INTEGRITY: 47%] [THE DARKNESS CALLS] With the power to crush my enemies with gravity, fry their nerves with lightning and the darkness at my call, I will carve a path through the blood of my rivals. I will unearth the mystery of my past death, reclaim the woman haunting my dreams, and tear down the empires that dare to stand in my way. But power isn't the only thing I crave. In a universe where betrayal is the only constant, I find solace in the arms of those brave enough to love a monster. I will collect their hearts, their bodies, and their absolute devotion. This isn't a story about a hero. This is a story about a monster who chose to be one—and the people who love him anyway. The question isn't whether he'll find her. The question is what's left of him when he does. He doesn't save people. He claims them. And somehow, that's worse.

[Dark-toned writing] + [Egoist] + [Mangekyō] + [No Female Lead] Good news: Reborn into the Zenin Clan, one of the Three Great Jujutsu Families. Bad news: Born into the Zenin Clan with innately weak cursed energy. The Mangekyō eyes awakened by a childhood tragedy grant two ultimate powers— Kamui: Annihilation, which can destroy all things, and Kamui: Intangibility, which can defend against all things. Endless cursed energy through the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, together with a one-of-a-kind special cursed tool. In this era ravaged by cursed spirits, with cheat-like abilities activated, the future has gained both the qualification and the talent to stand at the very summit of the jujutsu world. Mere humans. Mere cursed spirits. All are nothing more than tools for the rise to come. Gojo Satoru—the strongest of the modern age? Ryomen Sukuna—the strongest in a thousand years? Then what is Zenin Mirai, who tramples upon the strongest of two generations? Two thrones stand side by side—one ruling sorcerers, the other cursed spirits. Can a single man claim them both? ‎‎PS: Access the complete/finished chapters/series at Patreon: NanamiTL

In a nation divided between the wealthy Spires and the struggling Sinks, one hundred citizens are sent to Blackwake to compete in the Red Hunt, a televised game where only the strongest are expected to win a prize and residency in the Spires. The hunters are divided into teams of four called Quadrangles. Each Quadrangle is made up of four classes: the Tactician, who leads the team through strategy and decision-making; the Scout, who moves ahead to gather information and navigate danger; the Fighter, who handles combat and protects the team; and the Lifeline, who keeps injured teammates alive and provides medical support. Among them is Elowen Bradshaw, a teenage girl from the Sinks who enters the Hunt expecting nothing more than a way to help her dying aunt. But Blackwake is not the arena the government claims it to be. As mysteries pile up and the island reveals secrets buried beneath its surface, Elowen begins to realize that someone has been watching and manipulating the game from the shadows. The deeper Elowen goes, the more the Red Hunt stops looking like a competition and starts looking like something far more terrifying. Because the Hunters were never chosen at random. The Red Hunt was never about finding a winner. It was about deciding who deserved to be erased, then convincing an entire nation to watch. ~•~ "May the worthy endure. May the Spires remain eternal. Let the Red Hunt commence." ~•~ This novel contains some graphic content including violence & blood. Reader discretion is advised. Copyright © 2026 Eugene John Lubaton All Rights Reserved.

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!

"Block him." "He's technically still my boss." "Then block him with dignity." The call ended again. And then started again. I let out a sound somewhere between a growl and a sob, then finally answered with the enthusiasm of a snail crawling through salt. "Yes, Mr. Walton?" "Have you changed your mind yet?" I collapsed onto the towel and gazed at the sky as though it might consume me entirely if I pleaded sweetly enough. "Do you ever take a break?" I asked, shielding my eyes with one hand. "You're avoiding the question." "Because it's a dumb question." He exhaled, the sound sharp and irritated even over phone. "It's not a dumb question. It's a business offer." "It's a weird offer-one that I already said no to." There was a brief pause, and I could practically hear him clenching his jaw through the speaker. "You are acting unreasonably." " Unreasonable?" I sat up. "I'm not the one drafting fake girlfriend contracts like it's a normal Tuesday." "Isabella-" "Certainly not, Mr. Walton." I mimicked his tone perfectly. "I told you I'm not doing it. You need to find someone else to play pretend with." SYNOPSIS Isabella Miller thought saying no to her boss’s fake dating offer was the end of the story. But Adrien Walton doesn’t take no—especially not when he’s convinced she’s a gold digger. Suddenly, her student loans are piling up, her father’s vet clinic is on the brink of eviction and her brother is about to be kicked out of college. Coincidence? She thinks not. Adrien Walton is calm, calculating—and he's just pulled every string to corner Isabella into the perfect position. Now she’s stuck choosing between pride and survival. So she agrees to his offer: be his fake girlfriend. No feelings attached. No drama. Just business. Or so she thought. "Conference Room B. Fifteen minutes," he said, passing by without a glance. The folder he pushed across the table landed with a thud. I opened it. The contract. All of it. --- Enemies to lovers? Check. Slow burn? Hmmnyea. Banter so sharp it might file your nails? Yes. Delicious workplace tension? Of course. Tension that could melt steel?Absolutely. Smut?? Wanna find out? Welcome to corporate romance warfare. There’s no escaping this contract.

[ CURRENT STATUS: 408,540 Words] [ Status: Ongoing - Long Chapters (2500-3500 words each) ] --- There are thousands of worlds, each with its own stories and legends. Every storyteller has a different motive: some seek power and wealth, others love and revenge. Some strive for adventure and passion, while others fight for justice and peace. In one of these many worlds—a distorted version of Middle-earth—a young man’s journey begins. However, the peace of this day is a deception. Our hero was once an ordinary teenager who died protecting a friend in a gang fight. He wakes up to find himself in a Middle-earth that is vastly different from the tales he knew. In this realm, Elves, Humans, and Dwarves share the land with darker shadows: Vampires, Liches, Werewolves, Hydras, and Basilisks. The history of this world is not what was told in the books. While our hero sets out for the Shire to find Gandalf and Thorin, he acquires a Kingdom Building System, turning his survival mission into an epic quest to carve out his own destiny. --- ⚠️ WARNING FOR TOLKIEN PURISTS: This is a Radical Alternative Universe (AU). While the foundation of this world is built upon Tolkien’s original work vast parts of history and lore have been fundamentally rewritten. You will encounter familiar landmarks and themes, but the origins of races like Orcs and Dark Elves, and the inclusion of entirely new creatures, mark a deep departure from the original books. Fanfiction is about exploration and "What if" scenarios. If you are looking for a story that strictly adheres to the established canon, this is NOT for you. If you want the original story, the books are always there to be reread. --- Author's note: This story was written entirely by me in my native language, and AI was used to translate it into English. Although I have edited the English versions of the chapters, you might still detect slight traces of AI-generated phrasing. Happy reading! ---- What to expect: Grounded MC: No overpowered protagonist. Success is earned, not given. No Harem: While the MC remains loyal to one person, you might encounter side characters or world elements where harems exist. Strategic System: The system is for management and kingdom building, not a "cheat code" for instant strength. Complex Hero: A slightly chaotic yet serious protagonist. A Multiverse Twist: Potential appearances from different anime universes and John Flanagan’s works. Alternative Universe: This is a radical departure from the original Hobbit and LOTR canon. Strictly no LGBT content. –Broadcast schedule: Sunday, (one episode per week) --- the world where the novel takes place is middle earth as seen in the hobbit and lord of the rings books.

Grimvale is a dystopian city suffocating under the weight of a rampant virus known as Disorder, which mutates its victims into terrifying, monstrous beings known as Freakers. Amidst the chaos, seventeen-year-old Daito Greyhell walks a dangerous line between survival and humanity. Trained by his father, a fallen hero, and his uncle, a ruthless killer, Daito is a master of combat — but it’s his unwavering moral compass that sets him apart in a city where corruption and violence reign. Daito becomes a reluctant protector, quietly battling the Freakers that plague Grimvale, using his skills to save those he can, even if it means walking away from the bloodied streets feeling more burdened than ever. But when the government deploys the "Savages" — dangerous individuals who gain monstrous power through the alchemy of human sacrifice — Daito's resolve is tested. In a city where strength is bought through sacrifice, Daito refuses to succumb to the same brutal path, even as he faces new, twisted enemies. As a wave of Savages sweeps through the city, led by those who believe that power and mercy must be bought with blood, Daito must confront not only the Freakers and Savages but the growing question of what it means to truly fight for what’s right. Torn between duty, grief, and the desire to hold onto his humanity, Daito must find a way to carry Grimvale’s broken weight without becoming a monster himself. But the city's dark heart is closing in, and soon, even the strongest may not survive without losing everything. Grimvale is a tale of survival, sacrifice, and the price of power in a world that has forgotten what it means to be human.
