SSS Rank: Paragon's Ascent

Kade Torren has one goal: survive long enough to never be powerless again. Born during the Merger—the cataclysm that shattered reality and transformed the universe into the Game—Kade is a product of humanity's desperation. Raised in a government facility designed to forge Earth's best candidates, he's spent twenty years preparing for the Tutorial, the brutal proving ground where humans must compete against seventy-two other sentient species just to stay relevant. Humanity ranks forty-eighth out of seventy-three races. No natural magic. No enhanced strength. No evolutionary advantages. Just grit, tactics, and the slim hope that reaching level 50 will grant enough power to matter on the Main Continent, where territories are won and lost daily and extinction is always one war away. But Kade holds a secret even he doesn't know yet. During the Merger, as reality tore itself apart and reformed, his newborn soul absorbed the raw energy of that cosmic restructuring. The result: **The Paragon**—an SSS-rank talent so rare the system itself seems shocked by its existence. Everything Kade does is amplified tenfold. Experience gains. Stat growth. Skill comprehension. Learning speed. The boundaries that limit other candidates simply don't apply to him. It should be the ultimate advantage. It should guarantee his survival. But in a Tutorial designed to break the strong and kill the weak, overwhelming power draws overwhelming attention. Other candidates will see him as a threat to eliminate. The system itself will scale challenges to match his growth. And on the Main Continent beyond, where humanity desperately needs every edge it can get, Kade's talent could make him either Earth's greatest weapon—or its most dangerous liability. Pragmatic, skilled, and burdened with the knowledge that forces far beyond him could erase his existence on a whim, Kade doesn't want to be humanity's savior. He wants power enough to carve out peace in a world designed for endless war. But the Game has never cared what anyone wants. And neither has survival. ------ This is a Reader Interactive Novel, So do give suggestions in the comment Section and I'll implement suitable ones

The Illusion of Heaven

After three hundred years as a legendary grandmaster, Zhung Hang dies peacefully in his cultivation world—only to awaken in a modern hospital bed. Doctors smile and tell him it was all a coma dream. Three centuries of cultivation, brotherhood, enlightenment—gone. Replaced by a reality where no one ever wanted him. Parents who saw him as a burden. A little brother who died forgotten. Love that was never love. On a rainy night, he slits his throat with one final vow: "If reality is crueler than any dream, I will carve the next one with my own hands, even if I have to become something neither demon nor saint." Death refuses him. He awakens a third time as an young boy named Zhung in a world far crueler than either before. Here, there is no qi, no spiritual roots, no merciful heaven. Power comes through the Nine Refinements of Will—a brutal path where mortals must drink the fresh blood of divine or demonic beasts to tear open an Aperture within their flesh. In this world, Zhung has only one light: his mother Zheng Han, the third and only person across three lifetimes who has ever loved him without condition. For sixteen years he hides behind a gentle smile, secretly feeding travelers to a beast in the forest cave, waiting for the day its blood will finally let him begin his path. He does not walk the righteous path. He does not walk the demonic path. He walks the Broken Path—a third road forged from the refusal to ever again be heaven's tragic puppet. This is a dark, slow-burn story of cosmic betrayal, quiet maternal love, and a soul that will gamble everything to protect the one person who never asked him to be anything more than her son. The heavens wrote the first two tragedies. The third one will be his. Features: Morally grey MC, unique cultivation system, psychological horror elements, no harem, slow burn, Mother-son bond as core emotional anchor, and a protagonist who has already lived and lost everything twice. CONTENT WARNING: This story contains graphic violence, morally questionable decisions, psychological trauma, and a protagonist who is neither hero nor villain. There will be no sudden power-ups or plot armor. Tragedy is not just backdrop—it's structure. If you're looking for a power fantasy, this isn't it. If you're looking for a story about what happens when someone refuses to let any world break them again—welcome. Update Schedule: [Depends if I'm busy on school]

I Can Only Cultivate In A Game

In a world transformed by the arrival of mana, Earth is no longer the domain of humanity alone. Magical beasts and three powerful humanoid species have claimed vast territories, forcing humanity into fortified cities protected by mana-infused barriers. The hope for survival lies with the awakened: those blessed with magical classes and the ability to wield mana. Victor Revenant, a hilarious and self-deprecating 16-year-old, has spent his life dreaming of joining their ranks. But on the day of his Awakening Test, his dreams are shattered. Like countless others, he fails to awaken, destined to remain ordinary in a world where mediocrity means irrelevance. Just as Victor hits rock bottom, his father gifts him a VRMMORPG game, Ascendant Realms: Cultivation Chronicles, as a consolation prize. The game promises an immersive cultivation experience, complete with mystical techniques, powerful bloodlines, and the journey to ascend to godhood. But when Victor logs in as his in-game persona, Fang Chen, he discovers something incredible: the cultivation techniques he learns in the game begin to manifest in the real world. Armed with the Primordial Chaos Constitution and the legendary Void Emperor Bloodline, Victor embarks on a dual journey—mastering the game’s cultivation system while using his newfound abilities to change his fate in the real world. What begins as an escape from his failures turns into a chance to rewrite his destiny. But Victor quickly learns that his unique ability may make him more than just an anomaly... it may make him a target...

Sigil of Ash

The man who died in an alley woke up in a world of beasts, dragons and living ink—with a new name, a new family, and not a single memory of the life he left behind. By the time Antony Keaney turns ten, the old world is gone. No echoes of the knife. No face to put to the name "Leo" that sometimes rises in his throat like grief he can't explain. He is just a poor boy now, son of a laborer with a faded Draft-Horse Beast Bond and grey Rune and a mother whose Fire-Newt barely lights their hearth. Antony Keaney has never bonded a beast. He's never felt a Rune burn into his skin or heard the heartbeat inside an egg. He's just a ten-year-old boy from a poor family, about to stand in the Dredge Basin and pick whatever broken egg the nobles have left behind. He expects nothing. Maybe a Fire-Newt. Maybe nothing at all. What he gets is a Coal Lizard... A creature no one has ever seen before. A fire-newt with no fire. Cold to the touch. Grey as ash. The lowest of the low. The other children laugh. The Overseer calls it defective. His mother cries. But one person isn't laughing. Professor Venn is watching from the shadows. A researcher from the most prestigious academy in the region. He has spent twenty years studying Runes, cataloguing beasts, writing papers on things that have never been seen before. He has never seen a Coal Lizard, no one has. He doesn't want to help Antony. He wants to study him. Cut open his Rune on paper. Document the failure for science. And if the boy has to sit in a classroom with forty-two noble children who bully, mock and despise him? if he has to spend every day surrounded by dragons while his own beast can't produce a single spark? Then, oh well. That's a small price for knowledge. Antony doesn't know why his lizard sometimes feels warm when no one is watching. He doesn't know why his Rune itches late at night, like it wants to move. He doesn't know why Professor Venn's eyes follow him with something that looks almost like hunger. He only knows he's about to enter a school where everyone sees him as a walking failure to be examined. And somewhere, buried in ash, something is starting to remember how to burn...

His first life is a "Hell Start." Born to a servant mother who dies of grief and a father who refuses to acknowledge him, Mu Zhong survives by playing the fool. He masks his genius by devouring library books at lightning speed, building a mental fortress of knowledge while navigating a household of sinister siblings and political schemes.
