Once a common human, thrown into the ancient world of the Higher Vampires as one of the very first of this illustrious and dangerous species, and after almost an eternity passes, the Convergence of the Stars is upon him. But will he just accept being dragged around by the cosmic forces of a celestial cataclysm? Follow the story of an ancient Higher Vampire reborn into the world of The Vampire Diaries. Witness his growth and how his existence shifts the whole supernatural ecosystem. The ultimate apex-predator against magic and curses, werewolves, vampires, and witches. Though the world is not as simple as he once thought. Intricate political games, various vampiric bloodlines, diverse wolven lineages, and so much more. [WARNINGS: 1ST: Regarding 'The Vampire Diaries' this sticks STRICTLY to the SHOW, I will not take the books into account as I have not read them. KEEP THAT IN MIND! 2ND: The main character gets REBORN (like the title says) early in the story, the phase before that is to give context to his origins and how a HIGHER VAMPIRE got into TVD and didn't just simply pop up in there. 3RD: While what happened in his rebirth can be considerad a 'nerf' it is NOT a nerf. Higher Vampires grow stronger as they age, if I had simply popped him into the world it would take MILLENIA for him to grow strong, rather than a few years. 4TH: I have taken many creative liberties during the writing of this book, I have kept it all as realistic as I possibly can, so no need to worry about nonsensical stuff happening.] (I do not own anything in this fanfic besides my original characters and customized backgrounds and settings for the world. This is a work of love for the original stories and an intricate what-if scenario.) Hope you guys enjoy the story!

Aiden was born into the wealthiest family on the Revonia Continent— the Arclight Clan, owners of an SS-rank Mana Vein. A clan that lived by a single doctrine: “Power builds legacy. Wealth sustains legacy. Family is optional.” Aiden, however, was different. Where others schemed, he showed kindness. Where others chased power, he chose compassion. The clan called him the "useless heir," a boy unfit to bear the Arclight name. But everything collapsed during the Origin Awakening Ceremony. Before the entire clan, Aiden awakened the weakest result imaginable: (F-Rank Unique Ability and Origin Heart detected) (Minor Null Field) – Causes minor disturbance in skill activation and mana flow. Humiliated, mocked, and abandoned, not a single member of his family stepped forward to defend him. By sundown, Aiden was expelled— stripped of his title, status, resources, and home. The heir of the Arclights became homeless in a single day. Yet even at his lowest, he refused to break. Even as everyone walked away, something else reached out.

Trapped in a life of routine and expectations, Orion dreamed of adventure, freedom, and becoming the protagonist he only read about in books.

Follow Orion’s journey as he claws his way to the top of this new world

Before I Knew the Word is a quiet coming-of-age novel set during the first year of university in a country where queerness exists mostly in silence. The story follows a reserved first-year student who has always lived on the edges of social circles—present, polite, but never fully seen. He does not understand romance the way others seem to. Crushes, attraction, and desire are concepts he knows only in theory, not experience. Loneliness has become so familiar that he mistakes it for personality. University promises reinvention, but instead confronts him with the same question he has never learned how to answer: Who am I supposed to be? His cousin, confident and effortlessly loved, becomes both an anchor and an unsettling mirror. Surrounded by friends, laughter, and attention, the cousin moves through campus with an ease the narrator cannot imitate. When their worlds overlap—through shared spaces, mutual friends, and unspoken closeness—the narrator begins to notice feelings that do not fit into the categories he knows. The novel traces the formation of friendships, the small humiliations and quiet victories of campus life, and the slow, internal unraveling of assumptions about self and desire. There is no dramatic revelation, no sudden clarity—only moments that linger too long, silences that feel charged, and a growing awareness that some feelings arrive before they are understood. As the narrator observes others fall into love easily, he begins to question whether his difference is emptiness or simply something unnamed. In a society where sexuality is rarely discussed and never explored openly, he must navigate confusion without guidance, learning that identity is not discovered all at once, but assembled slowly from uncertainty. Before I Knew the Word is not a story about finding love, but about finding language—for selfhood, for longing, and for the truth that some realizations begin long before we know how to speak them.

“Jaden, why is it that you, at such a young age, are unbeatable in so many areas—from cooking to fighting—and are known as the ‘Duel King’? Is it because of your mastery of fundamental techniques?” “No…” “Then is it because of your talent and hard work?” “Not that either.” “Then it must certainly be because of Ms. Nakiri, who is always by your side!” “No…” Jaden glanced at the system page, which indicated the only dish he knew how to make was grilled cold noodles. Even though he knew no one would believe the truth, he spoke plainly: “It’s mainly because the opponents are too weak; they’re just making the rest of us look good!” And thus, the joke that became the year’s best humblebrag was born!

"This game is trash." I spent my Friday night flaming the developers of Erosbound on the community forums, cursing their ancestors for six generations because of a broken boss fight. Turns out, you shouldn't do that. I woke up inside the game. Is this standard protocol now? Are game devs actually gods? I was ready to scream, but then I saw her. Why is that maid wearing an outfit that violates every labor law in existence? And why is she calling me Master with that hungry look in her eyes? Before I could even ask for a pause menu, she was already on her knees, giving my... Excalibur... a very enthusiastic polish. Holy sh*t. This feels heavenly. I take it back. Devs, you are geniuses. If this paradise is the punishment for toxicity, I should have flamed you sooner. I’m Alex Edelhart, and I’m about to speedrun this harem. Author's Note: WARNING: This is a pure fantasy adult novel.

Kaoru Mitoma is a transmigrator, and there’s a wish machine attached to him. As long as he fulfills any of the wishes, he’ll gain a random reward. The more wishes he grants, the more rewards he gets!

Xin Yi was just trying to survive a bad stomachache. Instead, she wakes up naked in a forest instead, armed with nothing but a few leaves and a very confused soul. Before she can even process what's happening, a massive panther with violet spots pounces on her and starts LICKING HER FACE. "Get off me, you overgrown cat!" Then he SHIFTS. Into a very tall, very muscular, very NAKED man. She screams. He looks confused. "Why are you screaming, fragile female?" "YOU'RE NAKED!" "So are you." He tries to tear off her leaf clothes. She slaps him. He...laughs?! "I like your smell. You're coming home with me." And that's how Xin Yi got dragged back to a tribe of beastmen who have apparently never heard of personal space, clothing, or NOT LICKING PEOPLE YOU JUST MET. Good news: She has a mysterious System to help me survive. Bad news: The System's first major quest is "Teach these feral men civilization." Worse news: The panther man has four equally hot, equally touchy friends. A Tiger. A Snake. A Dragon. A Silver Wolf. And they ALL think she smells delicious. SOMEONE SEND HELP! (And maybe some actual clothes?!)

The Cat Between Us Xu Jin, a reckless second-generation young master, runs away from his wealthy family in a burst of stubborn rebellion. Determined to prove he can live independently, he buys an apartment, armed with nothing but confidence, a skateboard, and absolutely zero life skills. Meanwhile, Liang Chen, a gentle literature professor, lives quietly next door with his lively grandmother. Their home is calm, tidy, filled with tea fragrance and old books — the opposite of Xu Jin’s chaotic new life. Their paths collide in a pet shop when both try to buy the same white male kitten. A ridiculous bidding war ends with Xu Jin winning the cat, much to Liang Chen’s frustration. Neither realizes they will soon be neighbors — until moving day brings the shocking discovery that they live separated by only one wall. Xu Jin names the kitten Yunhu, and immediately learns that independence is far harder than imagined. He can’t cook, can’t clean properly, and now has a mischievous cat destroying his apartment. Next door, Liang Chen is endlessly annoyed by mysterious crashes, meows, and the unstoppable chaos leaking through the wall — yet secretly, he finds himself wanting to meet the kitten he cannot touch. As days pass, Xu Jin’s unhealthy eating and exhaustion catch up to him. One night, he collapses near his open doorway, too weak to seek help. Yunhu escapes to the corridor and scratches at Liang Chen’s door, leading the professor to discover the half-conscious Xu Jin on the floor. With his grandmother’s help, Liang Chen rushes the taller, delirious young master to the hospital in the middle of the night. Bound together by a white cat, thin walls, and an unexpected emergency, two very different lives begin to intertwine — setting the stage for slow healing, reluctant companionship, and a relationship neither of them saw coming

In a world where cultivation measures worth, Yan Shi begins with nothing. No spirit root. An Earth-Locked Five-Element Fragmented Root. No inheritance. No place within the Dao. A mine collapse takes his father and leaves Yan Shi buried beneath the mountain. He survives not through fortune or talent, but because something incomplete awakens within him—a quiet mechanism that responds to what cultivation leaves behind. Residual vitality. Spent materials. Energy deemed no longer valid. Through it, Yan Shi learns a forbidden truth: the Dao does not discard power—it only judges its validity. Yan Shi cultivates by reclaiming residue, refining what others abandon, and using it to restore, support, and stabilize what little he possesses. When true resources are later obtained—pills, herbs, spirit materials—they do not grant him miracles. They become tests: only what remains valid can endure. As his path unfolds, Yan Shi walks a Dao unlike any other— the Dao of Residue and Validity. One half shaped by what survives decay. The other by what proves worthy of cultivation. This is not a tale of endless resources or heaven-chosen prodigies. It is the story of a cultivator who learns that power is not defined by abundance, but by what remains after everything else fails.

Hoshino Miru never imagined that his childhood friend Eriri would be looking at secretly taken photos of him at night while unable to help but softly moan on her bed. Even more cringe was Kasumigaoka Utaha claiming that if she couldn't catch a man, she would resort to heavy drugging. Kaede and Suzu frequently impersonated each other's identities, and there was a group of heavy metal band girls who would occasionally shout Hoshino Miru's name while crawling darkly on the ground. Faced with these cringe girls, Hoshino Miru couldn't help but reflect - had he set their sensitivity levels too high back then?

He lost both of his parents due to a bank heist at the age of 14. Due to his young age, he joined an orphanage, but it turned out to be secretly owned by a group of gangsters. He was exploited together with the other children in the orphanage, before finally, at the age of 16, he joined the gang, being valued for his intelligence. Working for the gang as an accountant in charge of the income of the gang, he used all the money that he earned to purchase books on accounting. He wanted to study, gain real skills, and see if he could join a legitimate company as an accountant. …. Who would have expected that due to his effort, one night, just as he was done reading, a holographic screen popped up in front of his eyes. [System binding... Binding completed.] [System activating... Activation completed.] [Welcome to the Information to Mastery: Points Store System, Michael Santos.] [Experience full. You have acquired beginner level accounting skills. +1 SP.] He would have never thought that this was going to change his life completely. As long as he acquired information on a particular field, and studied it, the system could allow him to master the skills, even without doing physical practice. [Experience full. Level up. Accounting skills upgraded to intermediate level. +10 SP.] …. But that was not the craziest point. Using the store points that he received by acquiring skills, he could purchase anything from the store. [Used 10 SP to acquire 100% shares of Riverside Hotel.]

Lauded by millions for his rarely-seen talent with the ball, Jair Campinho meets a tragic end at the World Cup. Death, however, is not the last page of his story. Now stranded in a world that doesn't make much sense, he'll find himself coming to terms with his new identity as Cha Jae-il. Can a jaded mind and talent for a sport sweep clean the stains of his past, or will the women of his new family bring him down an even bigger and unexpected abyss? Love isn’t simple. It never was. And for Jair, the real question isn’t whether to run… but how far he’s willing to fall. TLDR: A worldclass footballer reincarnates in the world of an adult manhwa and decides to take up the world by a storm. * This story will eventually have R-18 content. ** This story will eventually feature sibling and parent bonding, if you know what I mean. *** Slow paced at the start. Let this cook on a low fire.

When Izuku Midoriya was diagnosed Quirkless, he didn't see a tragedy. He saw a system rewarding luck over skill. So he found a better teacher. For ten years, he subjected himself to a master's brutal curriculum, forging his body into a flawless weapon and his mind into a combat computer. He re-enters the world not as a victim, but as a master of his craft, with a lazy smirk and the unshakeable confidence of a man who knows he has no equal. His ambition is simple: to climb to the top of the hero rankings and prove that a human who has perfected himself is superior to any random mutation. U.A. is just the first step in his hostile takeover of heroism. He'll use a deeper understanding of strategy, psychology, and pure martial arts to expose the flaws in a world built on gifted power. This isn't the story of a boy who was given power. It's the story of a man who built his own from the ground up to earn his power.
