A thousand years after the Undead Empire vanished, the little skeleton who used to farm was still tending to his fields, until the summoning portal reopened. "Are you guys hungry? I’ve been farming for a thousand years and have stored a tiny bit of food." "Have these fields been deserted? Can I plant things?" "The princess's city on the hill doesn’t allow farming? Then never mind, I won't go." "They want to tax me but won't let me farm? Wipe them out!"

"Bro, why do we become adventurers?" "The bounty for a goblin is three silver coins." "No, you misunderstood me, buddy. I mean our ultimate goal in this line of work, the meaning behind all our hard work day in and day out?" "A goblin, three silver coins." "..." "Three silver coins." "Alright, here's a task to clear out a goblin nest, you..." "Charge!" ------------------- Elements: [Bottomside Adventurer], [Hodgepodge World View], [Pseudo DND]

Years later, Fisher, who has received the apocalyptic prophecy and the miraculous tool called the Demi-Human Girls' Completion Manual, wishes to be recognized as a pioneer in demi-human academia, a savior of human civilization, a dove of peace, and a messiah. Instead of being the person who is torn apart with the firewood knife, and the savior divided into pieces.

Welcome to Eteliria, the Kingdom above the floating clouds. Let us push open the Gateway, pick up our staffs, and the adventure will begin from here— Through the hills of clouds and seas, like floating grass, the shallow rivers gleam; Across the meadows flowing with gold and honey, filled with laughter, beneath Rodell's cottages, a gentle song drifts. Through Egon's ancient forests, where dark vines grow rampant and whispers linger; Over ridges and between Chongshan peaks, shadows stir in the Underground World, danger lurks at every turn, and swords reflect light. The tale of a boy chasing his dreams, above the sky and cloud ridges, the Giant Dragon's Shadow, soaring with outstretched wings. And after time has been sealed away, the hearth fire still burns bright.

As a cultivator who once stood high above the clouds, gazing upon all beings, what path should Xiao Qiang tread upon in this unfamiliar world? Embark on a life of unrestrained cultivation, allowing his poison to ripple far and wide. Xiao Qiang envisions founding his own empire in this urban realm!

Lin Yun, 36 years old, a widower, a mid-level manager in a private enterprise, is a single father, who has recently felt that he is encountering a mid-life crisis. Professionally, he faced adversity; domestically, he was in a cold war with his 14-year-old daughter; physically, he suffered from periarthritis and spoke daily of his agony. In the past few days, he had also uncovered a secret — his daughter was being a "Magic" girl. With the body of a young maiden, she battled extraordinary monsters and protected the city from attacks — this is the common perception of a "Magic" girl. But he was very aware that being a "Magic" girl came with life-threatening dangers. Should he stop her, or respect his daughter’s choice and find other ways to protect her? Gazing at the Heart Flower in his wardrobe, now covered in dust, Lin Yun, the former "Magic" girl who retired 19 years ago, was facing the third major decision of his life.

Mature Content... 1996, the world was still analog, disconnected, and blissfully unaware of the digital storm on the horizon. For Marvin Meyers, soon to be eleven-year-old prodigy with the souls of an ancient, -hungry Incubus, and a modern man it is the ultimate hunting ground. ​Armed with the memories of a future where tech giants rule and entertainment is the new religion, Marvin doesn't just want to be a star—he wants to own the sky. From the "plagiarism" of legendary works to the strategic acquisition of the world's most undervalued IPs, Marvin begins a cold, calculated climb to the top. ​While his classmates at his elite L.A. school worry about grades, Marvin is busy recruiting a young Mark Zuckerberg, filing predatory tech patents, and building a multi-national empire that spans the US, Japan, South Korea, and China. In a world fueled by human desire, there is no greater predator than an Incubus who knows exactly what the future wants before it even exists. Marvin Meyers died a lazy brat, but he woke up as something much more dangerous. With the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis looming and the Dot-com bubble about to hiss, Marvin has a four-year window to become rich enough to get his hands on one of the big seven. Joy, anger, lust, sorrow, and happiness are all desires and emotions. As long as these emotions are directed at me, they can become nourishment for my spiritual practice. Okay, let's see what reliable ways there are in this world that can stir up a lot of people's emotions? Hmm, writer, that's good; umm, music, that's also good; wow, Hollywood movies, reaching the whole world, that's fantastic! Looks like I need to become a plagiarist... what's that word again?

Sez, who was the princess in the Imperial House of Rowayne of the Den Helder Empire, was killed by her brother, Rayton, who caused the coup. Rayton was discriminated against in the empire for the prophecy that the monster whose hair is black as night and eyes as red as blood will end the whole world, and he had the same appearance as the monster of the prophecy. Though her head was cut by his sword and lost the chance to escape the empire, somehow she was magically sent back to the past. When she had a second chance to change her fate, she decided to become friendly with Rayton to survive.

It always starts with an accident. That’s how all these stories go. One moment, you’re minding your own business, and the next, you wake up in someone else’s body. For Caspian, his accident started earlier than he even knew. Maybe it began when his sister got him into romance novels? Or when he started really sympathizing with the villains at the ends of books? He’d never know. It was too late to worry about it now. For now, he had to find a way to fix this nightmare, or rehabilitate his image, all while trying to free himself from the fate set out for him. All because of the damn "gods" who he'd cut a deal with. These were the only two options he had available, and he wasn’t sure he could succeed at either. The man he had taken over for had been…a true piece of work. And the secret villain of the book he had been reading before he passed. It had been a harem novel. A reverse harem novel. He was trapped in a huge ass CASTLE with a bunch of men who hated him because he was taking affection and time away from their shared wife. All Cass wanted to do was be a good person, not mess around with this poor woman and her far too handsome husbands. But why would no one leave him alone? Was he too suspicious? And why, after going out of his way to avoid them like they had asked, did they keep pestering him? And where did the heroine go? How was he going to manage three, handsome men without the heroine?

Bound to the freezing darkness of the Wall, a highborn Watchman burdened by the memories of another life realizes the true war for the dawn requires endless gold, not just cold steel. Descending upon the decadent South, he transforms humble trades into a monolithic mercantile company meant to supply the Wall. But staggering wealth breeds dangerous enemies, entangling his trading fleets and caravans in the treacherous, bloody games of ambitious monarchs. As the White Walkers finally unleash their apocalyptic assault upon the Wall, the watchman must ultimately decide which path suits him best.

Sixteen-year-old Eli Crowe never had the chance to truly live. Born frail and confined to a hospital bed, he spent his lonely days escaping into dark fantasy novels, fascinated by the mysterious Shadow Mages who walked between light and darkness. While others dreamed of becoming heroes, Eli wished only for the freedom to choose his own path. When his quiet life comes to an end on a snowy winter night, Eli awakens within an endless realm of shadows before the Primordial Goddess of Shadows. Seeing the lonely boy who endured a lifetime of suffering without losing himself, she grants him a second chance. "Leave your weakness behind... and become the Shadow Mage who walks between light and darkness." Reborn in a world of magic, kingdoms, dragons, monsters, demons, ancient ruins, and legendary adventurers, Eli begins his new life with one simple goal—to live for himself and answer to no one. Cold, quiet, and mysterious, he has no desire to become a hero or a villain. He follows his own code, helping whoever he chooses, destroying anyone who stands in his way, and walking a path that belongs to him alone. Registering as an adventurer, Eli travels across the world exploring deadly dungeons, hunting powerful monsters, uncovering forgotten secrets, and protecting innocent people—not because of justice, but because he decides they are worth saving. Whether aiding humans, elves, beastfolk, demons, dragons, or slaves seeking freedom, he leaves behind legends wherever he goes, often without realizing how deeply he changes the lives of others. But the more powerful the Shadow Mage becomes, the more chaos follows him. Royal conspiracies, corrupt churches, noble feuds, secret cults, ancient monsters, rogue adventurers, false gods, hostile divine beings, summoned heroes, and Demon Kings all begin to take notice of the mysterious young man who walks through darkness without fear. Some seek to control him. Some seek to eliminate him. Some swear loyalty to him. And many unexpectedly fall in love with him. Through battles fought side by side and unbreakable bonds forged in life-and-death situations, queens, princesses, adventurers, nobles, commoners, slaves, goddesses, and women from every race gradually gather around Eli. To his constant confusion, misunderstandings and unexpected circumstances often leave him at the center of romances, political marriages, and trouble he never intended to create. As his legend spreads across the continent, Eli quietly grows stronger with every battle, determined to surpass every mage who came before him and become the world's greatest—and most feared—Shadow Mage. In a world that fears the darkness, one mysterious antihero will prove that shadows are not meant to be feared... They are meant to be mastered.

Under the sun, the world is not as it seems. Janus, an ordinary man, is haunted by recurring, realistic nightmares of a ruined world, monstrous creatures, and beings that far exceed normal human imagination. "It's just a dream." Covered in sweat, he desperately denies his nightmares. But the line between dreams and reality slowly begins to blur. Two worlds begin to merge. Fantasy and reality. The nightmares from his dreams begin to crawl into reality—bloodthirsty and hungry for human lives. Janus is forced to either rise up and take the mantle or stand by and watch as humanity is slaughtered. But the path to power is paved with pain, suffering, and death. With the System, he levels up. But would that be enough? Along the way, he forges friendships, enemies, and encounters with psychopaths. The taste of power is sweet, but often, it is poison seeping into the bones and corrupting those with an unquenchable thirst for it.

Born without a Mark, Ajay Raktavanshi is disowned by his own father and exiled from the powerful Rakt Clan. But his fate takes an unexpected turn when he receives a Mark from a strange guardian who claims to have created the entire world, including the other Constellations. The only problem? His guardian seems to have lost his memories and might be completely insane. Now, as Ajay ventures into the vast Great Earth, he must survive a world filled with monsters, powerful clans, and mysterious Constellations, all while figuring out whether his guardian is truly the creator of everything or just another lunatic.

Born with an incurable disease, Cassian Esderva has spent seventeen years as the weakest member of his family. His mother died giving birth to him. His father wanted him dead. Only his grandfather kept him alive. The disease slowly strips away everything—strength, mana, vitality, stamina, and even the ability to grow stronger. For seventeen years, Cassian endured a life where weakness was his only certainty. Until the day he died. But death was not the end. When he opened his eyes again, the disease that had plagued him since birth had awakened something buried deep within him. Something ancient. Something that should never have existed. And now, the boy everyone believed was born to die... may have been born to kill gods.

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. You survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self-made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies through every kind of conceivable catastrophe. ———————— I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

Ten years under the Dursleys’ roof stripped Alexandra Potter of warmth, trust, and any lingering affection she once held for family. What remained was a sharp tongue, a guarded heart, and a worldview shaped by neglect rather than hope. Friendless and cynical, she learned early that kindness was a luxury rarely afforded to her. On her eleventh birthday, a letter from a magical school offers what seems like an escape—but salvation is never simple. Magic does not erase scars, and Alexandra is no wide-eyed dreamer. A devoted reader of The Lord of the Rings, she understands too well that every world has its darkness, every journey its cost, and every hero their breaking point. This is not a story of innocence found—but of power claimed, shadows embraced, and a girl who refuses to be weak ever again. ______________________________________________________________________ Want to read the next chapters early?

Leon Hart woke up in Orario with three magic slots, seven skills, and stats so bad they’d make a goblin laugh. Six months of scraping by as a Level 1 nobody under Demeter’s protection taught him one thing: in a city where gods play politics and Evilus lurks in every shadow, raw power means nothing without people watching your back. When his cheat system drops a Familia Invitation, a black letter that summons warriors from other worlds, everything changes. A holy maiden saved from the stake. A silver-haired healer who shouldn’t exist. A sword saint with no kingdom left to serve. One by one, Leon builds something Orario has never seen before: a familia of outsiders, hidden beneath Demeter’s banner, growing in the shadows while the city’s power brokers look the other way. The Dungeon doesn’t care where you came from. It only cares whether you’re strong enough to survive what comes next.
