In a world where the Echo pulls people into another realm under the full moon, survival is not rare but it is never guaranteed. Every month, thousands are taken. Most do not return. When Kieran survives his first summoning, he comes back changed in ways no one can see. The Echo dropped his class onto an island swallowed by mist, hunted by swarming ape-like creatures and hemmed in by a violent waterfall that marked their only escape. Eighteen of his classmates died before they reached it. The twelve who returned were classified as Bonded, altered by the realm and given aspects that reflect something instinctive within them. Jace came back stronger, carrying the blunt certainty of a baboon bonded to his spine. Rachel returned quieter and sharper, her cobra presence altering the way rooms behaved without anyone quite understanding why. Others found balance, speed, strength, endurance. Kieran received something less obvious. Grip. Surface adhesion. The ability to cling. At first, it feels underwhelming, almost laughable. Back at school, the world adjusts around visible power. Jace draws attention effortlessly. Rachel moves through corridors without obstruction. Kieran walks beside them and remains what he has always been,overlooked. When a group of girls mock him in front of his friends, the humiliation doesn’t break him. It clarifies something. Survival in the Echo required adaptation. The real world requires something else. And his aspect is not just about clinging to walls. It can reshape him. Alone in his room, Kieran discovers the deeper function of False Skin. It responds not only to instinct but to conviction. With enough focus, he can refine bone structure, alter posture, change the cadence of his voice. The transformation costs him. Strain behind the eyes, a creeping fatigue, but it holds as long as he believes in it. So he creates a second version of himself. Sheeran. A transfer student with sharper lines and steadier presence. No known abilities. No history. When Sheeran walks through the school gates, the reaction is immediate. The same girls who laughed now compete for his attention. Teachers engage. Boys compete with him. The social hierarchy bends in small, revealing ways. Rachel is the only one who doesn’t respond predictably. She senses familiarity beneath the surface, though she cannot explain it. She had defended Kieran when he didn’t defend himself. She liked the original version something he never saw. Meanwhile, the full moon approaches again. When the Bonded return to the Echo, they are no longer desperate survivors scrambling for escape. Their objective now is to clear and fortify the zone around their waterfall exit. But the island has changed. The ape creatures have multiplied, learned, begun constructing crude structures in the mist. And when their bonded animals manifest beside them, Jace’s powerful baboon, Rachel’s silent cobra. Kieran is disappointed to find a small gliding lizard at his shoulder. He doesn’t yet understand how dangerous something patient and unseen can be. As the Echo grows more complex and rumours circulate about higher tiers of Bonded who struggle to return to the real world at all, Kieran stands at a crossroads. In one world, he is invisible. In another, he is necessary. And in both, he is learning that identity is not fixed, it is chosen, reinforced, and sometimes rewritten entirely. The question is not whether he can survive. It is which version of himself will.

It's Marvel with a touch of mystery fanfiction (just kidding). Mystery elements gradually seep into the Marvel Universe. But make no mistake—this is pure Marvel fanfiction, so feel free to dive in. In 2008, Lin Huai, having just finished reading a novel, finds himself thrust into a pivotal moment in the Marvel universe. A devoted follower of the God of Poverty (just kidding), he discovers that he has been chosen by the Fool, granting him early access to the abilities of a fortune teller. And just like that, the Marvel Universe gains its very own Riddler. He repeatedly appears at key turning points in the world's development, each time for different reasons, gathering the materials he needs to advance through the completion of rituals. As his power grows, however, he begins to feel increasingly unlike the person he once imagined himself to be. Desperate to uncover his true identity, he struggles fiercely against the scripts written by powerful forces—while occasionally indulging in a bit of fun to hold onto his humanity. His ultimate goal? To peel back the gray fog shrouding the Open Source Fortress and discover who he really is!

Alex Thompson’s ordinary life ends under the wheels of a delivery truck on a rainy Tuesday. Instead of death, he wakes in a fantasy world called Elysara—naked, confused, and staring at a chaotic interface: the Glitchy Growth System. Random power-ups. Unpredictable levels. A “fun factor” that decides everything. And a special aura that makes powerful women increasingly drawn to him… with dangerous side effects. His first companion: Lila, a fierce exiled warrior with flaming swords and zero patience for weakness. She saves him from bandits—then watches in amusement as his glitches turn battles into absurd spectacles. Next comes Elara, a rebellious healer fleeing her convent’s chains, whose magic doesn’t just mend wounds—it ignites desire. As the trio carves a path through monsters, dungeons, and a rising dark overlord, Alex’s system keeps glitching: god-tier buffs one moment, chicken transformations the next. Jealous sparks fly. Steamy nights unfold in hidden groves and victory hot springs. Bonds deepen into something raw and unbreakable. But the glitches are getting worse. The overlord’s shadow grows closer. And the system’s final reward might be the ultimate power-up… or total catastrophe. In a world where chaos is the only constant, Alex must decide: master the glitches, claim his harem, and survive—or let the fun factor consume them all.

Lily's Boy by SomewheresSword on AO3 Summary Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything. Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows. With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

Some powers are chosen. Others… awaken. Marcus never believed in the supernatural — until the night he touched the mask. The moment he did, something ancient bound itself to his soul.

Guided by a mysterious girl, Marcus is pulled into a hidden world of spirits, cults, and forces that have existed far longer than he ever imagined. As the power of two dragons — Yin and Yang — begins to awaken inside him, he must learn to control a strength that threatens to consume him. But power attracts attention. Shadows are watching. Enemies are moving. And he isn’t the only one searching for the mask. As ancient forces close in and danger rises with every heartbeat, Marcus must decide: Will he master the power within him… or will the mask control him? The awakening has begun.

Cassian was the kind of person you would forget just minutes after meeting him. He wasn’t good at anything, nor was there anyone who expected anything from him. One day, after a long day of classes, distracted while reading a novel online, Cassian crossed the street without looking at the traffic light. By the time he realized it, it was already too late. He died. Oh, well, at least that’s what he thought. Since a strange system, proclaiming itself as: [Villain System.] Sent him into the last novel he read: Destined for Greatness Alongside the Heroines. As Duke Marek Nightrend. A secondary villain who died in chapter 347. But now Cassian possesses his body and, together with the Villain System and his SSS talent, he will use his prior knowledge of the world to escape that fate. The system that transmigrated him into that world assigned him three mandatory missions: [1- Turn the heroines into villainesses and conquer them.] [2- Reach the MAXIMUM rank in all available skills: magic, combat, swordsmanship, special abilities, and any discipline this world has to offer.] [3- Kill the forgotten god.]

[Let characters from different worlds become hunters and save the day!] The world is full of monsters that defy common sense—some are keystones of their ecosystems, while others are outright destroyers. And whenever such creatures appear, hunters rise to face them. Hunters are strong, brave, and righteous guardians of nature… except when things go a little sideways.

"Are you trying to tell me that the man who made the entire Northern continent tremble works in a flimsy bar? And he's a Water Mage???" The Emperor asked his knight. "Yes, sir. I saw him with my own eyes. He has two pet dragons and—" "Good gods! The legendary dragons that historically disdain humans as his pets?! We must have this man as our own at all cost!" The Emperor screamed in amusement, "Say, when you approached this man to speak with him, what was his reaction?" The knight gulped. "He... offered my men and I drinks, and told us to tell you, the Emperor, to visit his bar sometime." The Emperor's eyes widened, and narrowed back as he smiled. "Well, I just might." ______ Once upon a time, Maxwell Duvon Belognia was a reject. In fact, he was kicked out of his noble house for his lack of talent! And to top it all off, his noble family was one that had produced reputable flame mages for ages! Maxwell, who had an affinity to water magic, was a good-for-nothing reject. Disowned by his family, he ventured out into the world to build his own solid ground, and he discovered that his talent in the path of water was much more than his family had ever imagined. And along the way, he made friends that he loved more than his own blood, allies that could give their lives up just for his sake, and the best of all — he fell in love with a woman who gave him her heart and her soul. Maxwell was a happy man. But... ...Unfortunately, a world ending disaster struck on his world. And in just a few seconds, Maxwell lost everything dear to him. Including the love of his life who he'd just had an argument with few hours ago. He couldn't even remember what the reason for that argument was, but he knew it was his fault. To top it all off, Maxwell and his friend who barely survived were saved by a nameless being, dragged and thrown into another world. There, in that devastating world, the water mage and his friend struggled to survive. To live, they had to fight. To fight, they had to grow stronger. And so they fought for years, eventually growing strong enough to leave that world and venture into the vast cosmos. But the wider universe wasn't any much different from that cruel world. They still had to fight to claim a place. Until finally, they rose to the position of divinity and became gods. During all these years of constant struggling, fighting and ascending, Maxwell never forgot his love. The pain of his loss clawed at his heart at every given moment. How ironic it was for a god to fall victim to the pain of mortals. Maxwell was steadily approaching the end of his being. And just when he thought his soul would fade without seeing his love again... "Why don't we break one of the ten absolute rules proffered by the Celestial King to restrict the workings of gods?" His friend suggested. Maxwell's eyes widened. "What rule?" He asked. "Regression." And so, after fighting to go against the will of the Guardians, gods and celestials of the twenty four heavens, Maxwell's soul finally regressed with eons worth of knowledge... ...To the time when he was just kicked out of his noble house. And the best part? All his divine authorities as a god — although weakened — were still linked to his soul, including his pocket space which held his treasures. And because of this, to the eyes of everyone on his planet, Maxwell was a ridiculously overpowered being. When news of this enigmatic, overpowered water mage spread amongst the four continents of Cryst, every monarch and every major power wanted him for themselves. But the man in question? "I've lived a life full of suffering, battles and wars. Now, with the second chance that came with my regression, I just want to live a calm life. And to do that, I'll have to stop the world ending disaster that'll come in a few years. But for now..." He opened the door to his bar, smiling as he gazed at his customers and his wife waiting for him behind the counter. "This is enough."

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

The Cursed Tree of Three Wishes – Final – Adam Version Imagine for a moment… If you had an object that could grant you three wishes, what would you ask for? Money? Power? Love? Or revenge? Adam didn’t think much at first. Just trying to escape the despair in his life, he unknowingly makes a wish—and in an instant, it comes true. But he quickly realizes—this tree doesn’t just grant wishes, it takes something in return. Something money can’t buy. Something that, once lost, breaks a person from within. Now Adam has only two wishes left. Will he shape his future… Or slowly lose himself in the process? Because in this world, nothing comes for free. And the third wish… is the most terrifying of all.
