Hollow Earth is real. Here, humans will wrest their lives to explore this new world that has existed for thousands, if not millions, of years underneath them. Before the start of his exploration, Clovis came across a place called ‘Another World Mall.’ Dwarven Sword, Magical Elven Clothes, or Giant Race Toy?

Numen's death is only the beginning. Evelyn, a former human who ascended to omnipotence through countless reincarnations and stolen powers, plucks his soul from oblivion. Bored after eons of existence, she chooses him as her latest entertainment and hurls him into the brutal Warhammer 40,000 universe. Unlike most souls, Numen's bends rather than breaks. Though his memories are erased, his instincts, adaptability, and sarcasm remain. He awakens in the underhive of an Imperial Hive World with nothing but a twisted System and the cryptic title "Monarch." Weak, unarmed, and alone, Numen navigates a grimdark labyrinth of gangs, Enforcers, ancient vaults, and horrors lurking beneath civilization. His progression system revolves around Exploits, rewarding him with powers for dangerous or absurd feats. Darkly humorous, the System frequently comments on his actions and reflects Evelyn's mischievous interference. As Numen adapts to violence and danger, he grapples with identity, morality, and the knowledge that his suffering is a cosmic spectator sport. Evelyn serves as patron, audience, and possible future ally. Her genuine enjoyment of Numen's growth may mask a deeper emotional investment. This complex relationship is a central pillar of the story, as Numen's sarcastic pragmatism and psychological resilience clash with his loneliness and existential dread. Surviving against impossible odds, he begins to suspect that the "Monarch" designation is more than a cruel joke. The System's bizarre rewards and Evelyn's interventions hint at hidden powers and forgotten memories. Numen's rise from scavenger to leader unfolds within the Warhammer 40,000 universe's terrifying grandeur. He builds factions, claims territory, and gains political influence. What begins as a dark comedy of survival transforms into a saga of power and identity, with Numen struggling to understand his role in a game far larger than he imagined. As Evelyn watches with growing interest, Numen's authority and ambition expand. The cost of survival mounts, but so do the stakes. With each new challenge, he edges closer to the truth of his existence and the terrifying potential of his "Monarch" destiny. The story balances grimdark horror with absurdity, as Numen's internal commentary and the System's dark wit provide levity amid the chaos. Ultimately, Numen's journey is one of transformation. From pawn to player, he emerges as a force that could reshape the galaxy, but only if he can survive the cosmic game Evelyn has set in motion. Themes of persistence, adaptation, and the search for meaning drive a narrative where entertainment and power collide, leaving Numen to wonder if he is a Monarch or merely a pawn in an omnipotent being's endless diversion. __________________________ Disclaimer This is a non-commercial fan work created for entertainment purposes.

I have been reborn in France, and luckily, I have the identity of the Crown Prince. The downside is that the current king is Louis XVI, and in two years, he will be guillotined. Since my father and the ministers can’t be trusted, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands and reorganize France myself. First, I’ll make some money, just enough to solve the financial crisis that has plagued the country for centuries. Then, I’ll strike hard at the nobles with ill intentions who seek to usurp power. After that, I’ll seize the vast lands held by the church, which sits idle. Industry, technology, agriculture, and commerce will thrive together. I will be the greatest Crown Prince France has ever seen! Thank you for the support, friends. If you want to read more chapters in advance, go to my Patreon.

The protagonist didn’t end up as Shepard at all—so why does everyone know him as John Shepard? Because sticking close to the canon is profitable. Sure, it’s dangerously profitable, but when you’re in the thick of events, you at least have a rough idea of what’s coming next. That’s what John tells himself, anyway. Except he forgot something important: he isn’t Shepard. He carries the name, but he’s… What his real surname is—and what kind of trouble that truth will bring— you’ll find out in this book. Or maybe he’ll manage to squeeze a few perks out of it. *** Read over 100 chapters ahead and stay 12+ months in front of public releases — all early chapters are waiting for you on my Patreon: Granulan

Jiro was just scrolling through some Naruto clips before bed, unaware that every edit was being simultaneously transmitted across all timelines of the Shinobi World. Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't bear to watch the replay of his own life. The Uchiha clan discovered their future of annihilation. Madara Uchiha fell silent as he watched "The Truth of the Infinite Tsukuyomi." Namikaze Minato trembled and wept as he read "The Life of Naruto."

A kaiju ate me alive. I felt my ribs go one at a time. Then something in the dark of its gut decided I was not finished. It started my heart with a hand that was not mine, and I walked out of the corpse on my own two feet, the only person who ever has. That was the night she bought the rights to whatever I had become. One screen. One subscriber. The screen is my life, live and uncut. The subscriber is her, and she pays whatever it costs to keep the feed running: every fight, every wound, every hour I lose to the thing growing up the inside of my spine. When I run, the money finds me. When I bleed, the bid climbs. The Defense Force has me filed as a contaminant. The corporations want me as their next headliner. She understood the part both of them missed: the stronger the parasite makes me, the less of me is left. Every night, behind one glowing screen, the woman who calls herself my sponsor watches me turn into the thing that killed me. She has never once looked away.

This isn’t a story of heroes and villains. In a fractured universe where justice and chaos blur, people are not saviors—they are survivors. Dreamers. Fighters shaped by a world that forces them to choose who they become. The Judgement Order maintains peace through control, offering the illusion of choice while quietly shaping society to its will. Opposing them is the Plasma Nexus, a rebellion that fights for freedom… even if that freedom leads to destruction. But what is freedom without order? And what is order without truth? At the center of it all is Iver Tanaka, the Masked Drifter—a boy forged by tragedy, searching for purpose in a world that sees him as a monster. He doesn’t have the answers. And neither do we. Through his journey, SUNDIAL explores identity, survival, and the cost of choice. It asks a simple question with no easy answer: Would you fight for freedom… even if it meant embracing chaos? Or would you accept control… in exchange for peace? There are no right sides here. Only consequences. Welcome to SUNDIAL. Freedom isn’t always what it seems. And neither are the people fighting for it. "SUNDIAL" is a sci-fi manga about survival and rebellion in a chaotic galaxy ruled by the oppressive Judgment Order. It follows Iver Tanaka, a 17-year-old scavenger from Earth's slums with the unique ability to manipulate friction. Known as the Masked Drifter, Iver works for his own survival until he's drawn into the struggle of the Plasma Nexus, a small rebellion fighting for freedom. As Iver uncovers truths about his past and the universe's corruption, he faces tough choices between selfish ambition and becoming a symbol of hope in a lawless world. The story combines intense action, morally complex characters, and a gritty, dystopian setting, exploring what it means to fight for survival and justice.
