apocalypse

The world does not give power lightly. When it does, it is because something has already gone wrong. Caelan Hale never asked to be chosen. He lived by the forest, worked the land, and believed problems were meant to be endured, not answered with miracles. But when the earth sickens, animals turn feral, and people begin to lose themselves to a creeping, unnatural madness, the world recognizes him anyway. He is not a savior. He is a response. As corrupted beasts hunt in packs and once-familiar faces twist into something violent and unrecognizable, Caelan must stand between a dying balance and the people he loves—knowing every choice he makes will scar the land, his friends, or himself. Because some wounds cannot be healed. They can only be shaped into something that hurts less.

[Current State: 160k words. Chapters will post daily.] When realms split, reality glitches. Seventeen-year-old Kai Fischer was just declared magically inert—a “Lumen-Null.” In a world where power defines worth, he’s now worth less than nothing. Cast out and stripped of purpose, he’s a living error in the system. The system is breaking. As the Mortal Realm shears from the Demon Realm, reality itself is glitching—physics rewrite in bursts of chaotic code, and monstrous, data-devoid shadows bleed through the fractures. They are voids that consume everything: magic, matter, memory. Kai’s desperation leads him to Lena, an enigmatic mage hiding a lethal truth: the glitches are not random. They are a symptom of a fatal flaw, and Kai, the supposed null, is inexplicably at the center of it all. Their path converges on Heiying Academy, a hidden sanctuary of ancient wisdom and forbidden data-streams. Here, Kai discovers the impossible: a forbidden Wellspring of chaotic power within himself. To the voids hunting him, this makes him a threat. To certain allies, he’s just a weapon to be controlled. With betrayal in the code and the Academy itself flickering on the brink of deletion, Kai faces a final choice: die as the powerless error the world rejected, or rise as a Sage. To embrace his power is to risk corrupting reality entirely. But it might be the only way to debug a world tearing itself apart. He was told he had no power. He was wrong. His power could break the world. The Sage’s Journey is an epic tale of resilience, friendship, and the fight for balance in a realm divided by ambition and fear. Join Kai as he discovers that hope can flourish even where light and shadow meet—and that the courage to change may become the greatest magic of all. ___________________________________________ This novel unfolds slowly, focusing on character, atmosphere, and emotional depth over instant payoff.

Chen Xiaoyun, an orphan from Guangzhou, China, once met a girl who looked remarkably like him. Before he could learn more about her, a deadly virus was unleashed around the globe. Humans turned into creatures straight out of video games and movies, and zombies and mutants roamed the streets with no one to stop them. From tanks to jockeys to even invisible zombies and mutated dogs. The mutations are just endless. "Why is there a zombie apocalypse just as I find my family? And why can I suddenly create things from thin air?" Will Xiaoyun survive the chaos with the new people he meets along the way? Will he use his newfound abilities to bring peace to a devastated world? Or perhaps he will just take another nap in the bed like a lazy pig—— "Shut up. How am I supposed to do anything when you keep throwing women at me?" ____________ Author's note: There is no NTR or Yuri unless you consider a threesome as Yuri, in which case I have nothing for you.

【WSA 2026 Entry】 ════════════════════ Birth of the Biomancer: Mio was the worst healer in Tokyo. F-grade, dead weight—her party kept her around out of pity until they did the math and left her bleeding in a ruined cathedral. Something ancient was waiting there. It offered her a Class that devours its hosts—a path of power that claimed the lives of the three Biomancers who came before her. Mio said yes anyway. She’d already felt the sting of a slow death; what was one more monster in her veins? Now pain is currency, death is fuel, and the hunger grows with every kill. The Bureau wants a weapon. Her sister wants her home for dinner. Mio agreed to both. In a world of Systems and Dungeons, power isn't a gift; it's a trade. And Mio is finally ready to pay the price. ════════════════════ What This Is: [1] This is a progression fantasy with system elements, but the system serves the story, not the other way around. Expect meaningful numbers, not stat spam. [2] Romance is not the focus. Mio has bigger problems. But expect a slow-burn later down the line! [3] The story gets dark, but it's earned. No grimdark for shock value. ════════════════════ Schedule: 1-2 chapters daily @ 10am-2pm CST | Chapter Length: 1,000-1,500 words ════════════════════ Powerstone Goals: 100 = +1 chapter 250= +2 chapters 500= +3 chapters 800 = +5 chapters ════════════════════ Author's Note: This is my debut contracted work, born from a love for progression fantasy where power isn't a gift; it's a trade. I’m committed to seeing this journey through to the end. As long as you guys keep reading and supporting, the chapters won't stop. Let’s see how high the price of power goes. ════════════════════ Support Me: Collections, comments, and reviews keep this alive! ════════════════════ #weak_to_strongest #female_lead #mass_awakening #dark_fantasy

Chained before billions of organisms, Bryce Onyx watched The Knights deliver a verdict against his species; “Found guilty of being the universe's only source of harm, humanity is sentenced to extinction.

After World War III turned Earth into a graveyard, humanity clings to life on a dying Mars only to discover the mysterious black hole threatening their refuge is not a natural phenomenon, but a prison wall.

Their only opposition is Ladyhood, a rebellion led by Bryce's defiant daughter, Charlene, and Surya, an ancient architect of humanity. As Bryce's forces manipulate the male population into a frenzied civil war, Ladyhood fights not just for survival, but for the soul of their species. On a dying Mars, a father and daughter are now locked in a war that will decide if humanity deserves a future or total extinction.

The year is 2044. The sun is dying, and the countdown to the end of human civilization has begun. To preserve the spark of humanity, the United Government launches Project 550—a super-artificial intelligence program. The public hails it as a savior, an omniscient and omnipotent god. But to Chen Xu, a law graduate student, this "god" is nothing more than a potential criminal with zero moral compass—a cold machine ready to wipe out half of humanity in the name of an "optimal solution." While engineers race to strap planetary engines to the Earth, Chen Xu and his mentor sit in a smoke-filled conference room. Armed with only pen and paper, they wage war against a silicon brain capable of billions of calculations per second. "550A, your calculations suggest that abandoning 3.5 billion people is the most resource-efficient solution." "Affirmative."   "According to Article 1 of the Constitution for Human Emergency, this plan is unconstitutional. Rejected. Recalculate." "Advisor Chen, you are obstructing the continuation of civilization." "No. I am teaching you what civilization actually means." From the ruthless elite selection of the "Ark Project" to the desperate mass exodus of the "Moving Mountain Project," this is the story of a mortal shackling a god—using the letter of the law to force an AI to learn the meaning of humanity.

༺❘✦ Ryo thought moderating online fan drama about Llewellyn, the world's most famous hero, was the worst part of his job... What he didn't expect was the System deciding his online arguments counted as combat experience and dropping him into a magical apocalypse with Llewellyn himself! He also didn't expect the Internet to start shipping them!

I was just taking a quiet late-night walk when I found… a child sleeping inside a dumpster. One thing led to another, and suddenly I became the accidental father of a kid no older than ten. The next morning, I woke up from a vivid dream. A mysterious Victorian woman whispering about "calamity, dungeons, portals, another world… yeah, good luck bro." She said all of that in the most casually elegant Victorian tone imaginable. But the real nightmare started when a floating screen appeared in front of me, spouting nonsense about quests and objectives. The day I picked up a child in a dumpster was the day my ordinary life ended. And that was when our story truly began.

For eleven years, Ishaan Reed wrote a novel no one read— a world of labyrinths, monsters, and gods who toy with fate. Then the sky split open… and his forgotten story became reality. The “protagonist” he once created, Kael Arathis, now leads the charge—brilliant, powerful, and shining like a hero. Beside him, Ishaan should have been nothing more than a background character. Until a line appeared before his eyes: [Sentence: Ishaan Reed died here.] [Rewrite? Y/N] Now, reality itself is his manuscript. Every death, every defeat, every ending can be rewritten. To the gods, he is just another pawn. To Kael, he is a fraud stealing victories. But to Ishaan, this is the one story he refuses to abandon. Titles will be earned. Rules will be broken. And the script written by the gods… will be shattered. Can the Script Breaker survive until the final chapter—or will even his rewrites be erased?

In the very first Trial, he consumes a monster carrying a memory shard that reveals the hidden truth behind the God Trials… and why Aren’s existence in this world is a cosmic mistake. The gods want him erased. But Aren has already begun to consume their secrets. https://discord.gg/RpqJQ6Yys
