When Lisha and her classmates are pulled into a world that defies reason—half drenched in ancient magic, half frozen in time—they quickly realize this isn’t a dream. It’s a world that remembers them. An unseen system watches their every move, whispering quests, revealing constellations, and leading them toward truths that should never exist. But as days blur and deaths reset, Lisha—now in her 51st regression—clings to hope only for the sake of everyone’s survival. She’s not alone in this cursed loop. Two others walk the same path through time: one who died reading the book, and another in his 10th regression. Each loop reshapes reality itself, and the only things Lisha can trust are the fragments that repeat. Now they must face a question that decides everything: Will they ever escape— or will She finally reach the Overworld?

The Old World ended when humanity drilled too deep into the planet. By breaking the planet seal, the Domains from another dimension began to emerge. The Deep that destroys cities with a tsunami, the Shining that alters the skies, the Nightmare where terrible creatures rush out from; the chaos that makes every possibility happen at once, and the Abyss that erases everything that gets too close. The Domains connected with the people of Celestia, turning the girls into Witches. They became existences that could reshaped the world at the cost of going insane. In their rampage, they destroy the world and then began making a new one. In desperation, the last researchers of Ark-9 committed their last sin. They stole a soul from another world and then forced it into a new body to create the Chief. The Chief was made to suppress the Witches, to restore the world, and to be a weapon. The Chief was placed in a long sleep under a flooded city. Until finally the dying researchers awoke him for the mission, they have been preparing. The salvation of Celestia. “Fuck off.” Was what Aether said to all of them. “You bastards thought you could tear me from my world, and make me your obedient weapon?” Aether then laughed. “Those Witches you guys hate. I will not hunt them, chain them, force them, or use them as tools for your schemes. But instead, I will love them.” The Ark-9 Researchers erupted in rage. But he continued laughing without a care as their rage was music to his ears. “This is my script now.” The prison that held him shattered as their screams faded into silence. And he stepped into the new world with a smirk. “And I plan to make sure. No Witch escape my love.”

Ren Yuto's life was already a disaster before his game account got deleted by an Unknown figure.No job. No girlfriend. Two weeks from eviction. But in Genesis Online, he was Ashura; the third-ranked player in the world, undefeated in 2,847 consecutive duels, owner of a $400,000 account that made him a legend. Then he got a duel request, [DUEL REQUEST: PLAYER "UNKNOWN"] [STAKES: ACCOUNT DELETION] [MESSAGE: "Let us stake our accounts, or are you a bitch like your mom?"] Ren was already pissed enough; he accepted the request only to get stunned for twenty minutes straight [DIVINE PARALYSIS - 20:00] An impossible status effect that can only be used by an admin, Ren wanted to negotiate with the Unknown user, only for it to kill Ren's character, and sent him a message. [MESSAGE: "Lol, Get Gud"] The ultimate rage bait, three years of grinding. Gone. $400,000 worth of gear. Deleted. His character dissolved into pixels before his eyes. [YOUR CHARACTER HAS BEEN DELETED] He was about to cry when a mysterious prompt offered to restore his character. [WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESTORE YOUR CHARACTER?] [YES] [NO] Desperate, Ren slammed YES, Ren clicked it without hesitation. Bad idea. He woke up inside Genesis Online, not as Ashura, but as a level 1 nobody forced to roll for a new class. [WELCOME TO GENESIS ONLINE] [CREATE YOUR CHARACTER] He took a deep breath. In his previous life, he'd gotten the legendary class on his first try after playing for three years. Lightning couldn't strike twice... right? [ROLL] The wheel spun.

[ROLL] [You have obtained: POSTMAN] [Rank: Common] [LOL] The system was trolling him. Ren fell to his knees. This was it, his last chance. He pressed his forehead to the ground and prayed to the goddess who'd trapped him here. "Please... I'm begging you. Just give me something decent. Anything. I'll praise you every day. I'll build you a shrine. Just... please." [ROLL] The animation started. The wheel spun faster than before. Then the entire room began to glow, brilliant light flooding every corner like diamonds catching the sun. Ren looked up, tears streaming down his face. [You have obtained: DISCIPLE OF FORTUNE] [Rank: SSS] [Drop Rate: 0.00006%] "I LOVE YOU, GODDESS! I LOVE YOU!" [ACCEPT] He slammed ACCEPT before the system could take it back. [CHARACTER CREATED] [CLASS: DISCIPLE OF FORTUNE] [LOADING STATUS WINDOW...] The goddess is betting on his failure. His old companions don't recognize him. And every player in the game wants what he has. But Ren survived worse than this. He'll smile, he'll grind, he'll play along with the system's rules. Right up until he's powerful enough to break them. Welcome to Genesis Online. Permadeath is enabled.

Born as the cherished daughter of a neutral count, Amelia Valencrest was meant to live a quiet noble life—graceful, protected, and unnoticed by the powers that ruled the empire. That fate shatters on the night of her debut. Blessed with rare dual magic that resonates with both holy relics and forbidden arcane forces, Amelia becomes the center of attention for three men who stand at the peak of power: A feared duke of the west, whose bloodstained hands hide unwavering devotion. A charming imperial prince, torn between love and duty to the crown. And a mysterious young pope, bound by faith yet drawn to a love the Church forbids. As political intrigue tightens around her, the Holy Church begins to stir, ancient scriptures resurface, and a hidden prophecy threatens to remake the balance of the world. Jealous nobles spread rumors, a powerful noblewoman plots Amelia’s downfall, and unseen forces move in the shadows of both palace and cathedral. Caught between crown, blade, and faith, Amelia must learn to control her power, protect those she loves, and make a choice that could either unite the empire—or tear it apart. Because in a world ruled by power, even love can become a sin. She was born a count’s daughter. She awakened as a miracle. Loved by a duke, desired by a prince, and claimed by a pope— Amelia Valencrest must choose between love, faith, and destiny… before the world decides for her.

A fanfiction of "Legend of the Dragon King": Gu Yuena, who betrayed love, is reborn. Will her ending be the same? If we only learn to cherish something after we lose it, then all the changes we make afterward will be meaningless; love cannot be relived. Gu Yuena: Only after losing you did I understand that it was merely the Golden Dragon King's bloodline that influenced my judgment of feelings. I only love you. If I could have another life, I would never betray you. Lin Xiuran: The Golden Dragon King's bloodline is not an excuse for not loving. Besides, cherishing something after it's lost comes too late. In another life, life is still as difficult as before. The favoritism of his adoptive parents, the betrayal of his childhood sweetheart—Lin Xiuran's childhood remains gloomy. But the young man always moves forward. This time, the only difference is that Gu Yuena has been reborn. Lin Xiuran understands in one life how someone who truly cares can bear to neglect you. Gu Yuena understands in two lives that we only learn to cherish something after we lose it, but in fact, losing something after cherishing it is the most painful.

The hero and his party have defeated the Demon King and brought an era of "peace" to the world. This story follows a powerful demon who, instead of standing beside the Demon King in the final battle against the Hero, chose to steal a treasure from the Demon King’s vault. A relic that allows him to pass as human. With the demon king’s demise, he seizes the opportunity to live in the human realm and called it retirement. However, his plans weren’t going well. “In honor of defeating the last demon lord in the world, I give you all these lands and the right to marry my daughter.” – the duke. “Can I live in your city?” – the hero. “Will you marry me?” – the goddess. This gripping fantasy delivers intense action, clever strategy, and deep character development.

The Setting: The Vaelstron Dominion is a world ruled by "Mana-Density." Your social rank, political power, and survival are determined by how much magical energy your body can hold. At the top sits the Empress; at the bottom, the "Nulls." The Protagonist: Ken Vaelstron, the third prince, is officially a "Zero-Point Eight"—a biological failure whose mana density is so low he shouldn't be able to light a candle. To the world, he is the Lazy Prince, a lethargic disappointment who has given up on life. The Secret: Ken’s low density isn't a lack of power; it is a Null-Core. He is a biological "black hole" that doesn't produce mana but consumes it. He has spent years pretending to be weak to avoid being assassinated or experimented on by his own mother, the Empress. The Mission: While the Academy focuses on flashy spells and golden armor, Ken is a self-taught engineer and saboteur. He is hunting for the Source Code—the ancient, underlying data of the world—to rewrite the laws of magic that have deemed him a failure.

Death was supposed to be the end. For Kael Noctyrr, it was only the beginning. Awakening in a world ruled by cultivation, magic, and ancient bloodlines, Kael carries fractured memories of another life—and an artifact that should not exist: the Eclipse Core, a relic born before light learned to oppose darkness. It grants him impossible power… at a cost the world itself seems eager to collect. Hunted as a heretic, feared as an abomination, Kael walks a path no one else dares tread—one that binds life to death, creation to annihilation. Each step forward draws him deeper into forbidden truths: the undead were once saviors, the gods are not eternal, and the World Tree—the axis of all realms—is dying. As empires rise and fall, Kael becomes both conqueror and guardian. He forges alliances that blur into love, love that sharpens into strategy, and strategy that demands sacrifice. Elves whisper his name in hatred. Dragons sense a coming eclipse. Demons kneel—or burn. And the heavens begin to watch. Yet the greatest mystery lies not in the world he is reshaping, but in himself. Why was he chosen? Why does the Eclipse Core respond to his soul? And why do the oldest beings call him a mistake? When gods fall and worlds tremble, Kael will uncover a truth buried beyond time itself—one that reveals he is neither hero nor villain, but the final variable in a cycle that has repeated since the birth of existence. In the end, only one question remains: When light and darkness are both consumed… what will remain of the world—and of the man who eclipsed it?

After a decade on the run, fleeing from a foreign King who would see his whole lineage exterminated, Dominic had nearly given up on ever having a normal life. But when he arrived in the Capital of Cygnia, where steam vehicles and Magitech had replaced traditional ways and old magics, he saw a chance to not only stop running, but perhaps get some vengeance for the fallen Dragonkin of the Wavemates Kingdom. However, fate has a way of making the simplest of dreams into something much more complex, as Dominic was about to learn firsthand. When Dragonkin and Bookworm Princesses meet, chaos is nearly guaranteed, and romantic sparks are bound to fly.

Sami lives in a world where humans and demons share existence—a world ruled by war, guided by magic, and bound by a merciless system, where a person is not measured by who they are, but by the power they possess, and where only those who seize everything are allowed to win. To survive in this world, he must uncover its secrets with his bare hands; to suffer until he erodes, to descend into madness until he loses himself, to wander without a path, and to kill without hesitation— all to endure every Ordeal and shatter the chains that have been forced upon him. In this desolate place, the world of reality intertwines with the world of the Ordeal, where Clans dominate, demons stir, and the extraordinary rule over a history drowned in thousands of years of blood and ruin. Here, salvation is not granted to Sami… he is forced to tear it from the abyss, and rise from the very bottom.

What would happen when a magus accidentally stumbled onto another world? What will that person do? How would the world react to this singularity? Why tne? The setting is full of smart heads(mostly Yoo Yeonha and her paranoia), so I thought it would be funny if everything they knew about magic just crumbled before Magecraft and True Magic. P.S.: This fic may be updated on an irregular schedule. (Low e.q: whenever I feel like writing)

(R-18 and dark themes, you have been warned.) Blurb: During my incarceration by my mate, I see a man leaning against the wall of the dungeon with his arms and legs coiled with heavy iron chains. Dressed only in tattered rags of a black robe his ghostly white skin is mostly on display. Tattoos like smoke crawl all the way from his neck to the side of his handsome and deeply chiselled face, but it's the eyes that have me in a trance. Deep red like the freshly spilt blood, such rich shade, and they stare directly at me with such intensity that I forget to breathe. My hand grabs the iron bar, and I steady myself as his curved lips move and he utters only one word to make my world crash and my magic lose control. “Mate!” My world shatters at his words. "You can see me?” He asks next, a voice calmer and yet deeper than Mariana Trench. It whispers all around me, murmuring against my skin as if trying to awaken something sleeping. “Yes, why shouldn't I be able to?” I question, slightly confused. A crease descends on my forehead. "No one else can," he answers with a wounded smile that wrecks my heart. Synopsis: In this post-apocalyptic world, Faes are hunted and killed mercilessly because they are blamed for the apocalypse that befell and destroyed half of the population.

As it turns out, Amaia is mated to hybrid Alphas of Orion, but none of them can feel the mate bond, and they believe she wants to seduce them. “Have some dignity, Amaia. You abandoned your mate and are now trying your seduction techniques on me. I have a fiancée.” Glares Alnilam, her first mate. “Don't look at me like that, lassie. I am saving myself for my mate.” Winks Alnitak, her second mate. “Stay away from me. You are not my mate,” scolds Mintaka, her third mate. “I will bring a garland constructed from your ex-mate's bones.
