Rikishu Kairo was the strongest Upbringer of his era-until the day he vanished in battle and was declared dead. Years later, the Upbringers' Citadel still honours his name, unaware that Echo-the legend they buried-never truly disappeared. Royoshi Kairo is nothing like him. Accidentally recruited into the Citadel, Royoshi is average at best, unmotivated, and ranked far below his peers. He doesn't chase power, recognition, or even love. He simply exists-unnoticed, unremarkable, and unprepared. Until the day he nearly dies. When a mysterious hologram saves him from the brink of death, Royoshi meets a man who refuses to give his name-yet knows him better than anyone ever has. The hologram senses within Royoshi a dormant force called Shuryoku, a potential so vast it has gone completely ignored. As Royoshi is drawn into secret training guided by a legend the world believes is dead, a greater threat begins to stir. Sevran Axiom, a man who believes potential must be claimed by force, sees Royoshi not as a person-but as unfinished property. Caught between a mentor who waits and a villain who demands, Royoshi must confront the one thing he has always avoided: Trying. ECHOBOUND is a slow-burning supernatural academy novel about wasted potential, silent legends, and the terrifying choice to awaken. Kick787 RR This will also be on RoyalRoad

Just One Puff is a neon-fantasy adventure about chasing freedom in a world that runs on crowns, coins, and clouds of smoke.

Together, they tumble into a glowing underworld of black markets, turf laws, rival syndicates, and kingdoms that don’t like their rules being broken.

The Last War of the Gods Twenty years ago, the sky split open and the gods returned. Humans began awakening divine powers known as Blessings. Dungeons tore through reality. Nations formed Blessed Associations to regulate the strong. Clans built empires around their chosen heirs. Sovereigns ruled battlefields. Apostles reshaped history. And above them all stood the Demigods beings born with divine blood, untouchable by effort alone. In this world, power is inherited. Yuro Amakusa was born into Japan’s most powerful solar clan, grandson of the world’s strongest Apostle. The sun never answered him. Labeled incomplete, stripped of expectation, and forced to watch others rise on divine favor, Yuro chooses exile over submission. If the gods decide who is worthy, then he will carve strength without their approval. But when death finally corners him inside a dungeon, something ancient responds. Now awakened, Yuro walks a path that does not seek to protect the heavens but to challenge them. Because divine blood does not make someone untouchable. And if gods stand above humanity then someone has to learn how to cut them down.

Ghost portals opened all across the world, and getting possessed seemed as common as catching a fever. As such, humanity was forced to live in safe zones that were steadily shrinking day by day. Yet to Lana, nothing was new. She was reborn on the day when the true daughter of the Almond family returned. She watched as Brenda, her murderer from the past life, was pampered by the Almond siblings. “Lana, you should know your place and leave.” Eldest Young Almond ordered with glacial disdain. “A wretch like you never belonged to the Almond Family. Pitiful mutt.” Second Young Master Almond chuckled, his venom-laced words resounding, “And if possible, stop comparing yourself to Brenda. She is a rare awakened Dream Warden, while you... sigh. Marry a beggar, and that would be the grandest achievement in your life.” “I always wondered why a dim-witted person like her ended up as our sister. Sigh... I am concerned that she might perish after being possessed by a roadside ghost.” The Third Young Master derided. For safety and peace, Lana left the Almond family and forged her own empire. Trash? She became a supreme Talisman Practitioner! Marry a beggar? The wealthy heirs in Brookvale lined up to wed her! Die in the hands of a roadside ghost? The specters in the ghost zones trembled upon hearing her name! Poor mutt? Heh! Her business empire earned her billions of dollars every single month! Even her past life’s moonlight was shamelessly flirting with her! Lana never thought that her past life's misery was orchestrated by a schemer, neither she thought that her luck was stolen away by the docile lovable daughter of the Almond family. In this life, she vowed to live a thriving life and protect her luck. She fought off ghosts haunting her world while fighting the mysterious forces. .......................................................................................... Extract “Mister, I feel a connection with you. Would you like to adopt me?” Lana fluttered her eyelashes while gazing at the handsome young man with lustrous black hair. Yet what intoxicated her the most was the radiant purple and gold aura around her past life’s moonlight! So delicious! She longed to devour him whole! “No.” His deep voice reverberated in Lana’s heart, making her freeze for a second. ‘Ah... sure enough... an untouchable flower like him... is out of my league!’ “However... I do need a silver cat.” His words were laced with ambiguity as he stared at her intently, “Especially the dauntless one that loves to sneak into my bed at night and claw my admirers.” Lana •silver cat•: “...” Ugh... no, it’s not me .....................................................................................

In a world where supernatural Awakening dictates status, power, and worth, West Einstein is nobody. At eighteen, he’s a Tier 0—unawakened, invisible, and easily discarded. In a city ruled from the shadows by gangs, factions, and mafia families with supernatural bloodlines, Tier 1 awakeners are treated like future kings, while people like West exist purely as background. That truth becomes brutally clear when West’s girlfriend publicly abandons him for Caleb Rourke, a newly awakened Tier 1 backed by a street gang. Humiliated in front of the entire school, West learns a lesson the city enforces without mercy: power decides everything... love included. That same night, something awakens within him. ~ The Cuckhold System ~ A ruthless system that offers West a way to climb the hierarchy by doing to others what was done to him.

Failure means losing the system forever. Success means power. As West navigates high school, part-time work at a café, and a city on the brink of chaos due to newly discovered supernatural ruins, he begins to see the world differently. Gangs extort openly. Police bow instead of enforce. Supernatural ruins spark violent competition. Morality bends beneath ambition. What starts as reluctant participation soon becomes strategy. --------- NB: MC never gets NTRd after acquiring the system.

In the ancient world of Atheria, light and darkness have always existed in a fragile balance. But that balance begins to crumble when an ancient force known as the Void slowly awakens from a forgotten dimension. At the center of the coming storm stands the mysterious queen, Lunaria — a beautiful woman who closes her eyes while holding the Crystal of Fate. She possesses the rare ability to see fragments of the future, yet every vision reveals the same terrifying truth: the world will fall into eternal darkness if the Void Sovereign rises again. Beside her stands the former shadow king, Arken. Once the ruler of a powerful shadow kingdom, his empire was destroyed by the forces of the Void. Now he fights not for a throne, but to protect the last hope of the world. Fate also binds them to an ordinary young man named Klei. By accident, he awakens the soul of an ancient dragon that has slept for thousands of years. That forgotten power may be the only force capable of opposing the darkness. Alongside them walks the enigmatic warrior of moon shadows, Tsukiri, a guardian who moves between worlds to preserve the balance between light and shadow. But behind every rising shadow stands a far greater threat — the ruler of the abyss itself, Void Sovereign. More than a conqueror, he is the living origin of the Void. As the great eclipse approaches, every destiny will converge at a single place: The Eclipse Throne. There, the fate of the world will be decided. Who will rule the future — the light… or the void.

What would you do if almost everyone around you saw you as a hindrance or not at all? What if your own father was one of those who wished you gone? That is the story of Rosemary's life.

It becomes so bad that she considers ending it all, until she is rescued by a handsome young man with cold violet eyes who promises to change her world. ---- Before long, I reached a stone bridge overlooking Kaguya river. Luckily for me, the place was empty at the moment. Although, would anyone have even bothered saving a wretch like me? At most, they probably would have just watched as I met my end in a moment of morbid curiosity. And as I stood at the edge, I remembered all the times I had cried. All the times I had hurt. But now, I was ready. I smiled as the wind whipped around me. It was time to end it. Turning around, I let my body fall backwards into the river. The sky was a sea of stars. The city lights around me sparkled like gems. It was so beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I didn't regret it. No, I had finally found the courage to stand up for myself in my very own way. The water was high, so the fall itself didn't kill me instantly as I had hoped. As the river enveloped me, I closed my eyes. This was the end of my journey. A journey full of misery and tragedy. If there was another life, I hoped it would be better than this one. "Sis!" I heard a voice scream. Orlin! My brother came for me? What was he doing here? Had he followed me? But why? Did he care about me? Or was it just pity? No, right? Surely at least one person in this world loved me. Why had I given up on myself so soon? I knew he loved me. Yet, I still went through with this stupid decision. I allowed those girls and Father's words inhibit my better judgment... "Sis, where are you? Rose! Please show yourself! I want to talk!" Ore yelled at the top of his lungs. Right, my life was not all misery and tragedy. There were faint glimmers of joy and hope left. Ore was a big part of that. How selfish of me... I was actually about to abandon my brother. I tried to resurface, but my swimming skills weren't the best. To make matters worse, the current was far too strong. If not for the current, I would have at least been able to dog paddle over to the edge with some effort. My right hand broke through the fierce waters and was yanked by another hand. I was pulled out of the murky depths and saw a pair of cold violet eyes staring back at me. Father? No, it wasn't him. Although, those eyes felt familiar. Before I could make out the face of my rescuer clearly, darkness swept over me. Was it too late? I didn't want to die... Not anymore!

He transmigrated to the Naruto world and was bound to a "slacking off system," where he could unlock the Kizaru template simply by slacking off. So Konosuke completely gave up and began a leisurely, laid-back life at the ninja academy. Then one day, another system suddenly appeared: "Conditions have been met, the teaching and nurturing system is officially launched." Konosuke initially wanted to refuse this system that would disrupt his slacking-off career. But then the system notification sounded: "Newbie Quest: Teach all students the Substitution Jutsu. Reward: Chakra +7." The lazy Kounosuke remained silent. He glanced at the progress bar of his Kizaru template, then at the glittering chakra rewards in the system panel. Slacking off is for getting stronger, and teaching... seems to be for getting stronger too? To everyone's horror, the students at the ninja academy discovered that the legendary lazy Sarutobi family member had, for the first time ever, picked up a piece of chalk and walked to the podium...

Nox Caelis died a failure, clutching the body of the boy who had bled out just to buy him a few more seconds of life. Then he woke up. The world is still quiet, but Nox knows the clock is ticking. He remembers how the sky peels back like a wound. He remembers the Gates dropping from the clouds and the "Authorities" that stepped through them—beings straight out of nightmare and myth. Archangels, war gods, and ancient primordials who treated humanity like an ant hill. But something is different this time. When the System scans Nox to slot him into a neat little category, it glitches. Authority: Unregistered. The gods are coming back to finish what they started, but they’re walking into a trap. Nox isn't just preparing for the apocalypse anymore; he's becoming the one thing the System can't control. This time, he isn't the one who needs protecting.
