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.

Living under the former identity, Will Beuratt, he must adapt to a new age of the world while confronting the past of who he is, the unforgivable sin he committed. As he travels along the present world unfamiliar to him, Will found companions who chooses to trust him, even as they face a threat of the summoning an ancient god. Can a man who once stood beside the Demon King find his place among humanity again? Would he be able to redeem himself and experience the life of a human-something he has long forgotten how to live? I will be posting the revised version of Legends Of Hiden in Royal Road for new readers to have a better grasp in the story earlier

By MoonboundInk In the year 3934, Earth stands on the edge of extinction. Centuries of human progress have solved every mystery—every disease cured, every question answered—yet peace has never been more distant. From the shadows of the Moon, an ancient extraterrestrial species awakens, claiming Earth as their birthplace and humanity as the infection that must be erased. Amid the wreckage of collapsing cities and burning skies, Danial, a lone survivor, runs from both death and destiny. Hunted by alien forces that bend the very laws of nature, he discovers a truth buried deep beneath humanity’s triumphs — one that ties his existence to the Moonborn invaders themselves. Now, in a world consumed by chaos, Danial must choose between survival and sacrifice, between the remnants of humanity and the origins of the species that doomed it. Because the war for Earth isn’t about domination anymore — it’s about who deserves to live.

Waking up alone, the boy came to realize he had no memories to call his own. Accompanied by a strange power, he comes to learn of the magical nature of this world—one teetering at the end of the Golden Age, as well as the strength he truly holds and the struggles that come along with it. In this world of endlessly vast seas, can he recall who he once was, whether for better, or for worse? Are some memories worth treasuring, and some better left forgotten?

When one sees everything the world has to offer and tries to find whether there are others out there, BEYOND their world, more often than not they fail to even step out of their world let alone find another. 'Thou shall not trespass what is beyond!' 'Thou shall be content with what is there!' Dum.. Dum.... A furious sound of a beating heart echoed as a voice thundered out against the intent spreading across the world. "And who decides what I should and shouldn't do?" Alexander Achilles opened his eyes while gasping for breath. "Who the hell was that?" This is the story of Alexander Achilles who was pushed into circumstances he never thought he would find himself in. Whether good or bad, he has to navigate in this new world and survive the machinations of powers in the dark.

A young boy dies a tragic death and is granted 3 wishes. He chooses to be reborn in MHA with the Telekinesis as his quirk and the potential to achieve Absolute Mastery and Power over his ability. The MC will be overpowered and there will be some dark elements. The novel will be quite realistic in the context of the MHA world. The MC will be cruel to his enemies and kind to those he cares about. There will be romance and potential for a harem of 7 people. I plan to continue with this hopefully until the end of MHA canon. I aim to upload chapters of about 2k words, and I hope people enjoy this fanfic. I'm open to any suggestions and criticism on how I could improve, but please no hate for no reason. The first few chapters are quite dark, but it gets better after that, so please stick around till then. MHA and any of the characters in it do not belong to me.

I've been sick ever since I can remember. My dad's a drunk prick, and he doesn't treat my mom very well. My girlfriend cheated on me with my best friend, because she figures I'm going to die soon anyways. They all do. Hell, they're probably right. I've been to countless doctors, and they can't figure out what is wrong with me aside from the fact that my body is slowly shutting down. I don't have any friends anymore. My dad doesn't allow me home anymore, and apparently, I'm not even their real son. That was a real kick in the teeth. Only my mom tries to talk to me still, but there's always hell to pay if my dad catches her. At this point, I've accepted my end, and I wish it would just hurry up. At least, that's what I told myself, until I came across a new fuzzy little friend that would change my entire life. My name is Elias Crosse, and my tale is about get crazy. Notes: This story features an OP MC, so power development and growth isn't really present for him, although there is some. A lot of the growth mainly comes from other characters, and features a focus on said characters. Elias is also not someone who puts up with other character's bullshit, and routinely puts them in their place. I am tired of the trope of characters hiding their powers, or letting other characters walk all over them and theirs because they are not strong enough to do anything. I don't exactly know how to describe my story in terms of a genre. It has action, it has slice of life, and it has romance. There is no fade to black, and I can be very descriptive. This is also a HAREM story. If you don't like that kind of thing, you will not upset me by not reading it. I'd prefer you didn't, honestly. I have been fixing, updating, and changing somethings for consistency, to improve the story, the grammar and errors, and for things to make more sense. Some things may change, as this is a work in progress. The more I write, the better I feel I am becoming. I just write, and I have the ideas of where I am going in my head, but other than that, I just write the story as I see fit. As such, I forget some things, I miss somethings, and most often, some ideas in my head get jumbled together and it ends up not making sense some times. I am working to correct that as best as I can.

The boys summoned from Earth were meant to be heroes. Instead, they became slaves. Branded as expendable weapons by the empire that summoned them, the group later known as the Strays survives through rebellion, escape, and bloodshed. Freedom comes at a cost—and now powerful nobles, mercenary orders, and kingdoms hunt the runaway summons who were never meant to live. Armed with stolen magic and hard-earned scars, the Strays travel a continent consumed by war, searching for one impossible prize: a way back to Earth. But in a world that profits from their existence, escaping may mean tearing down the very empires that control it.

There is always something beyond the map. Civilization has conquered distance. Planets can be engineered. Stars can become engines. Galaxies are territories. Universes are infrastructure. Timelines are roads, dimensions are industrial frontiers, and the Genesis Corps ventures into the places where even the greatest civilizations stop understanding reality. Ashborn Lionheart was supposed to become one of their brightest stars. Then, at ten years old, he vanished. His expedition disappeared into Nihil Aeternum, an impossible realm of broken laws, forgotten civilizations, living disasters, cosmic horrors, and things for which even humanity’s greatest knowledge proved unreliable. His squad died. Rescue never came. Ashborn survived. For nine years he fought, wandered, starved, learned, adapted, rebuilt himself, and clung to one promise: "I am going home." At nineteen, a fracture in the impossible finally gives him that chance. Ashborn returns carrying scars no medical scan can fully explain, a living weapon forged beyond civilization’s maps, armor that evolved into something disturbingly alive, a mysterious girl named Lunavelle who remembers things about him that he does not, and knowledge of a realm mankind was never prepared to confront. But home has not been waiting untouched. Nine years have passed. Friends grew older. Heroes rose without him. Technology advanced. The Genesis Corps that remembers a legendary ten-year-old prodigy must now confront the scarred man standing in his place. And before Ashborn can reclaim his life, one question must be answered: "What exactly came home?" Because Ashborn’s return is only the beginning. Ancient structures recognize his name. Forgotten systems awaken in his presence. Dead histories remember a Lionheart who should not exist. Somewhere beyond the frontier waits an enemy connected to a life Ashborn himself cannot remember. To discover what he is, what he was, and what he chooses to become, Ashborn must return to the one place he spent nine years trying to escape: the unknown. This time, he is going willingly.
