Kafka is a name that is almost never spoken with kindness. At his school, he lived as a shadow—mocked, pushed aside, and broken little by little by jeers considered ordinary by the strong. Every day was a courtroom without a judge, and Kafka was always declared guilty simply for existing. This is not a story about heroism. It is a story about a lie called hope, a world that devours its own children, and a man who was shattered from the very beginning—only to rise not as a savior, but as a threat to fate itself. Because in this world, death is not the end. And for Kafka, survival means challenging everything that dares to call itself sacred.

Hui Cao, the First Princess of the Gu Yan Empire, is betrayed and hunted by imperial assassins after her mother sacrifices her life to save her. Fleeing through a storm of cultivation techniques and broken loyalties, she crosses an invisible boundary at the edge of the world—and survives. Beyond it lies a frontier where qi holds no authority. There, Hui Cao encounters a nameless man living alone in a barren land, guided by a cold, emotionless Survival System. He does not cultivate the Dao. He farms. He crafts. He survives. In this place, spiritual treasures become raw materials, immortal techniques lose their meaning, and a single gunshot can erase centuries of cultivation. Forced to work the land in exchange for protection, Hui Cao must abandon her identity as a princess and relearn what strength truly means. As the empire, sects, and ancient powers begin to sense this forbidden frontier, the fragile balance between cultivation and survival starts to collapse.

Am I alive?” He found himself young again, with his memories intact.

But in a world that profits from their existence, escaping may mean tearing down the very empires that control it.

I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests.

Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.

A thousand years ago, a mysterious asteroid crashed into Earth, nearly wiping out all life on the planet. However, stubborn humanity survived, gaining strange powers after being infected by a virus the asteroid carried with it—and that was not the only thing that came with the catastrophe. Abominable creatures flooded the world, and Dimensional Portals opened, bringing forth the Aberrations. In the present day, Nova Asmodai is a Seventh-level Empath who fights the Aberrations emerging from the Portals alongside his closest friends. It is a simple, yet dangerous job—one that maintains order in his country. He uses his Spectrum of Serenity—which secretly prevents him from understanding other people’s emotions—to enhance his allies’ powers. After all, he is a Support. One day, however, during a visit to a nearby city to watch battles between elite Empaths and Aberrations, Nova is thrown into a portal by a mysterious and invisible force, becoming trapped on the other side. Now, stranded in a dystopian desert filled with monsters, he must survive if he wants to make it back home. Author’s Note: The beginning of the story will be mostly introductory before the key events—up until around chapter 29—where I will introduce moments that will remain important throughout the story. This will be a long journey of over two thousand chapters. Are you ready?

In the modern world, Ethan is an ordinary, yet deeply frustrated, reader. At the most pivotal moment of the fantasy novel The Journey of a Rising Hero, he is left bitterly disappointed. Crown Prince Areth forgives his treacherous mother, fiancée and rebel nobles, earning the title of “noble” hero. To Ethan, however, this is not nobility; it is weakness. The story has been written wrongly. Then a single question appears on his screen, changing everything: “The hero was written incorrectly. Would you like to fix him?' Ethan accepts. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself in Areth's body, chained in a dungeon and awaiting execution. According to the original story, Areth would be blessed by the Goddess of the Moon, survive and emerge as a forgiving, righteous hero. Ethan chooses a different path. He refuses to become a naïve hero, instead embracing the role of the villain. His plan is simple: to eliminate every traitor at the first opportunity. To him, the best revenge is swift revenge. The innocent and idealistic Areth that the world once knew is gone. In his place stands a calculating, cold-blooded and ruthlessly pragmatic prince. This is the story of a modern strategic mind reincarnated in the body of a hero, rejecting destiny and choosing villainy in order to shake the world to its very foundations.

A man dies and wakes up as Harry Potter in the cupboard under the stairs—but this is no passive chosen one. With memories of a past life and a far more practical mind, he begins studying magic early, questioning the rules of the wizarding world, and refusing to follow the dangerous path fate seems to have prepared for him. Smarter, more cautious, and determined to survive, this Harry plans to rewrite the story instead of being crushed by it.

"The first secret you hear is actually the second one. The first secret was discovering what a secret was," said the thing, looking deep into the boy's eyes, as if expecting him to find this groundbreaking. "I disagree," said Xiao. "Actually, it's the third one." "Third? What do you mean?" The creature said, opening its bright eyes in alarm, as if it had been slapped in the face. "The first secret is you," Xiao looks at the creature with a curious face, almost smiling as if discovering what this "thing" was was the most fun thing in the world. "What are you? That's the story of this boy, and why I decided to write it. thanks for reading all the way here

Set in the Shadow Slave world...a time before Sunny was born...this story follows a simple soldier who must survive in a dystopian, apocalyptic landscape where magic and gun warfare collide. In a far-off Quadrant known as North America, a young soldier named Hope is 16 years old when he gets infected by the Nightmare Spell. He passed! But...he feels a bit scammed...? A flaw that makes him fade from people's memories... A cursed attribute that makes him remember everything endlessly in eternal wakefulness... It's as if the Spell is twisting his future and existence into an almost improbable one. All he has ever known his purpose to be was to serve as a simple soldier. Not too powerful. But not so weak either. And maybe, just maybe like some others, become an Awakened. Although he never dreamt of being one. Now that his whole life is compromised after his First Nightmare, his first objective is to survive on his own. But as he tries to escape his fate, his actions seem to lead him further from his goal. He struggles against obstacles that slowly grow bigger and out of proportion. Maybe the Dream Realm and the Real World aren't so different than one may think. Hope's journey involves uncovering secrets and gaining knowledge about his true nature and his new role in the world. Is he fit to be a hero? Could he redefine it? *** Please read the READER DISCLAIMER in Volume 0. This is my spin-off novel of "Shadow Slave" by Guiltythree. But please don't expect the same writing style, setting, and characters, especially the main character. This story reveals more about how people/cities/governments operate after the Spell’s arrival. I always find it interesting how maybe one country handles it fairly, but how others handle it with desperation to the point that you question humanity. There will be easter eggs pointing to the original novel either intentional for the plot or unrelated to it, but all for fun. I am a new author so props to all who bear with me and helps me improve my writing. If it is not for you, please don't leave outright hate comments. Eat wassabi instead if you want pain. Critique and advice would be great too. Cover Art: @ellieaedon I will be posting on RoyalRoad.com and on AO3 for some people's preferences.
