Elric suddenly obtained a Devil Fruit Tree, but before he could celebrate, his system warned him—doomsday was coming, and he had to conquer beauty to survive. Thus, his life in the doomsday world began. There will be 18+ chapters like with full description and stuff.

Once a man in the prime of his life, forged by years of exhausting study—sustained by energy drinks—by harsh military discipline and relentless, grinding labor, he had finally reached the moment to live for himself. Free at last from the weight of financial chains that had kept him from his desires, he found happiness in doing what he loved. Life showed no mercy. A single accident erased everything he had built in a matter of seconds. Yet the cycle did not end. He breathed again. This time, in the body of a child. Not reborn into warmth or safety, but into captivity—into the body of a young prisoner of war, stripped of freedom, bound for slavery. His name was Basil, a name meant for greatness.

Greene Kleb, a modern man, awakens in Westeros as the young Baron of Whispering Castle. No system. No cheats. No harem. Only a crumbling keep, a forgotten family, and a swamp crest that few remember. The great game has already begun. Kings rise and fall, lords plot in shadows, and the Iron Throne stands as the prize above all. Greene knows only one truth: in this world of ice and fire, mercy is weakness, and loyalty must be forged, not begged. Armed with wit sharper than any sword and a will as cold as winter, he begins his Machiavellian climb. Step by step, the Baron of Whispering Castle will carve his name into the songs of Westeros. And when the last embers settle, only one question remains— Who will sit the Iron Throne of Ice and Fire?

Orion opened his eyes in a world where humanity does not rule. Magic is real. Monsters are everywhere. And humans sit at the bottom of the food chain among other races. There are academies and dungeons that promise survival, power, and status, but none of them offer safety. Thrown into an unfamiliar body and surrounded by danger and desire, Orion must learn how this world truly functions. Its rules, secrets and the real price of power.

What would you do if you were granted the power to turn back time every time you died? Louis Drakeheart once had everything. Born as the grandson of the Dragon King and the son of Earth’s most brilliant scientist and strongest Esper and a Holy Dragon Goddess, his future seemed boundless. Yet at the age of ten, he failed to awaken his Dragon Bloodline and could not transform into a dragon. Branded a cripple and a failure by his own Dragon Family, he was abandoned, his dreams shattered. Growing increasingly bitter and resentful, especially after his mother fell gravely ill and slipped into an eternal slumber that no one could cure, Louis transformed into a ruthless, cynical, and deeply unstable noble. Throughout the Frostbane Kingdom, he became infamous as the “Mad Prince.” In a final, desperate bid for power, he plunged into the Dimensional Labyrinth, only to be ambushed by an enemy nation. Powerless to change his fate, he was killed. But that was not the end for Louis Drakeheart. Upon death, he awakened the power of Death Loop, allowing him to return to the past after dying. At last, he possessed the ability to reshape his life, one death at a time. Now, through sheer will and unrelenting struggle, Louis will fight with everything he has to seize the strength needed to change his fate, reclaim his draconic birthright, and save his kingdom from its inevitable downfall at the hands of both Enemy Nations and Horrors beyond the Dimensional Boundary—even if it costs him his sanity as he descends deeper into the Spiral of Madness. This is the story of Louis Drakeheart and his journey through madness and enlightenment as he claims his true title: the Heir of Ruin, the Bringer of the End. And... of her, the one that accompanied him through countless regressions, the only witness of all his sacrifices. Also known as "Spiral of Madness: Ascension of the Villainous Dragon Prince". What to Expect: -A death loop where the main character returns to fixed points in time after each death, retaining all the power he has built up. -Deep world-building and a vibrant, living world that feels alive and immersive. -A unique power system: the Spiral of Madness/Incarnation inspired by Lord of the Mysteries Sequences and Metaphor Refantazio Archetype System. -Powerful, near impossible to defeat antagonists that will force the MC to accumulate strength across multiple lives to finally defeat them. -Strong focus on weapon techniques, cultivation, magic, and familiar bonding. -A romantic subplot that develops across multiple lives. -Dungeon crawling combined with fast-paced progression. -Countless mysteries, multiple worlds to explore, kingdom building (later down the line), and much more. -High stakes and emotional storytelling mixed with great side characters. Release schedule: 7 chapters per week or more. Discord: https://discord.gg/y3MSJxX5RG

A world of magic. A "mage" born without it. And an outrageous f*cking crew. In the Valley Kingdom, where steampunk meets futurism and magic means status, one Guild stands wildly apart: the Black Wolf Knights, or rather—the Black Wolves. Their leader, Greed, carries neither magic nor nobility, only a title he never wanted and a forgotten past. And his crew is as unhinged as they are loyal: A Ghost-mage whose eyepatch hides more than it covers. A powerhouse who hits like a Behemoth and naps like it’s a sport. A vice captain calm enough to fool any con artist. A horned lunatic with zero sense of danger—because she is the danger. A cyborg. A wolfdog the size of a lyconbear. And others just as—if not more—chaotic. The Black Wolves survive on grit, loyalty, and a collection of insanely broken abilities. But when a conspiracy threatens to swallow the Kingdom—and pins the crime on them—they become fugitives in the very nation they swore to protect. Armed with a strange power that defies magic. A crew ready to leap off any cliff with him. And a memory fighting to resurface. Greed, the Black Wolves, and a few allies must face enemies the Kingdom never saw coming. The Valley never believed in them. But they might be their last hope. Expect: - Black Clover meets Final Fantasy meets Six of Crows meets Vox Machina - OP MC from the start with no magic [NOT ANTI-MAGIC], progressively gets even more OP - Harem relationships in the beginning, but strong romance subplot towards the end with only one girl - Multiple perspectives from multiple characters - Intricate plot, tons of world building, character building, backstories, and fighting - A long, ongoing story Author's note: This book is only available on Royal Road, Webnovel, Scribble Hub, Inkitt, Wattpad, and featured on Chereads as well for the time being.

Born in secret to a palace slave and the king, Aurora has spent her life hidden in the palace shadows, treated as nothing more than a servant. Marked by white hair and piercing blue eyes, she is the living reminder of a scandal the royal family refuses to name, a shame they would rather erase than acknowledge. When a brutal war threatens the kingdom, Aurora becomes their easiest sacrifice. She is bartered away to the feared King Aldric of Velmora, a ruler whose very name leaves kingdoms trembling. “That girl is barely more than a servant,” the Queen snapped, then softened her voice with mock grace. “But this sacrifice would give her life meaning. And think of the villagers. Would we let them burn because of sentiment?” Bound in silk instead of chains, Aurora is sent to Velmora — not as a princess, but as an offering. A living shield. A forgotten daughter delivered to a man known for bloodshed. Will she survive? Will she last a day? What a cruel fate she has. But destiny has other plans. In the shadows of this new kingdom, secrets begin to unravel. Dark truths about who she truly is. Whispers of power in her blood. A mother who was far more than a slave. And a king who might destroy her… or awaken something far more dangerous within her. Caught between the family that abandoned her and a ruler who sees more than she understands, Aurora must choose what she will become: A sacrifice. A survivor. Or the storm that changes everything.

The Wolf King: Ash and Crown is a dark, mythic origin story set within the wider B.U.D.D.I.E.S. Universe, chronicling the brutal creation and rise of Fenrik Solvhar Emberfang—the being who will one day be known as the Wolf King. The story begins on Helios-77, a quarantined research world where Fenrik exists not as a legend, but as Test Subject 100876: an alpha black fire wolf pup imprisoned in a B.U.D.D.I.E.S. laboratory. Subjected to relentless experimentation with a super-soldier serum derived from arcane water and synthetic strength compounds, Fenrik is deemed a failure and discarded. When his body is thrown into an incinerator, the researchers believe the experiment has ended. Instead, it begins. The incinerator awakens Fenrik’s dormant curse—an ultra-rare condition known as flame rabies—triggering a violent metamorphosis. He survives the fire, grows into a towering wolf of living flame, and discovers a terrifying new ability: the power to assimilate the strength, traits, and essence of those he kills. His first human death completes his transformation, forcing him into an upright werewolf form and severing his last ties to innocence. As Helios-77 collapses into chaos, Fenrik becomes both predator and protector. His bite creates others like him, not mindless beasts but wolves bound by instinct, loyalty, and shared survival. From these beginnings, the First Pack is born. Together, they learn to hunt, to grieve, and to endure in a world of frozen wastelands, ruined cities, and impossible biomes left behind by abandoned science. Fenrik’s journey is not one of heroism, but of inevitability. He confronts apex predators that rival him in size and terror, loses packmates to the brutal laws of nature, and learns that power carries a cost measured in blood and memory. When he defeats an ancient ice-beast and creates Ulric Snowfang—the first non-wolf apex to join the pack—Fenrik establishes a fragile balance between fire and ice, dominance and restraint. Throughout the book, Fenrik slowly learns language, history, and the truth of what was done to him through recovered audio logs and shattered facilities. These revelations shape the foundations of Lupine doctrine: memory must be preserved, cruelty must be answered, and no pack is ever disposable. By the end of Ash and Crown, Fenrik is no longer merely a survivor of experimentation. He is a ruler forged by fire, loss, and choice—a king without a throne, crowned in ash, carrying the weight of his people and the promise of a future that will one day shake empires across the multiverse. This book serves as both a tragic origin and a warning: the Wolf King was not born a monster. He was made.

Summoner Guild Online was supposed to be the launch of the century. For millions of players, it was the ultimate escape. A world of endless adventure, legendary loot, and guild wars that would make history. But for Kai Grimer, it became a death trap. He doesn't spawn in the starting village like the others. Instead, he wakes up in the suffocating darkness of the Tutorial Dungeon—not as a player, but as the final boss. An NPC designed to be slaughtered by wave after wave of newbies farming their first XP. The logout button doesn't work. The system won't respond. And if he dies here, there's no respawn. Desperate and hunted, Kai activates his only skill, [Grand Summon]. It's a gamble: sacrifice XP to pull a random servant from across dimensions. He's hoping for something useful. A knight. Maybe a mage. Even a halfway-decent slime would do. What he gets instead is Lyra, the Abyssal Empress. [Rating: 9999 Class: World-Ending Calamity Danger Level: Apocalypse-Tier.] She's devastatingly beautiful. Unimaginably powerful. And completely, utterly insane. She despises humanity, mocks the system, and has enough power to crack continents in half. But thanks to the summoning contract, she has one unbreakable rule: absolute obedience to Kai. And somehow, that obedience has twisted into something far more dangerous—obsession. But Kai isn't running anymore. With each wave of players he defeats, he earns XP. With each summon he pulls, his army grows. Knights. Demons. Spirits. Beasts. And perhaps... more dangerous beauties who don't appreciate Lyra's self-proclaimed monopoly on their Master's attention. [You have defeated 47 Players] [New Summon Available] Trapped between overpowered summons fighting for his favor, guilds hunting his legend, and a game system that's starting to break under his existence, Kai has one goal: He won't just survive Summoner Guild Online. He'll conquer it. And if a few world-ending beauties want to fight over him along the way? Well, that's just part of being the strongest summoner.

A year‑long winter, waves of man‑eating chimeras, and a power that bends reality itself. Ren has spent his life hidden in the Steel Mountains, stronger than any man he’s met and yet completely ignorant of the red force called Akrion that rules the world. When a fortress falls to betrayal and cannibal knights, Ren’s last stand ends with him half‑dead in the snow—and in the path of the Southern Wind, a small Akrion company led by the silent swordsman Shin.​ Drawn into their ranks, Ren discovers a continent on the edge: fortresses emptied to bone, watchtowers hiding ugly truths, and Emperors and Dukes quietly preparing for something far worse than winter—the return of a Zenith and a coming Surge that could erase the entire eastern region. While Shin buries his failures, Peter drowns his guilt, and Lili carries nightmares an Akrion Aspect once dragged out of her mind and into reality, Ren has only one clear goal left: revenge on the masked killer who slaughtered his new companion in front of him.​ But Ren is an anomaly: a fighter with terrifying strength and no Akrion at all. In a world where Aspects reshape reality and Vessels shatter steel with their bare hands, he shouldn’t exist—and that makes him either a weapon the great powers will hunt for, or the only chance this dying continent has when the Surge finally comes.​  

A mere reader reincarnated as a lowly villain in the novel… all because of committing blasphemy. The Nameless God had cursed him… combined with the weak and vicious body into this new life. Was there even a chance to survive? The dead flag would strike just a week after he arrived in this world. That was right—he had to steal a cheat… a cheat from the MC. [You have received a curse from Nameless God] [Blasphemer's Burden] [Description]: You are an insolent one who has committed blasphemy against the Nameless God… This bloodline bears an unforgettable sin, one that always draws all kinds of fated troubles to you without any logical reason. [You have received the two blessings of the Demon God] [Divine Mimicry] Description: You can copy the blessings and curses of anyone in the world. However, this blessing itself has an arrogant nature. You cannot copy blessings or curses that are similar abilities whose tier is lower than what you already possess. Furthermore, you must first prove your strength… the power of a blasphemer of gods. Defeat them—or kill them. [Divine Transmutation] [Description]: You can craft a new blessing or curse by sacrificing two blessings or curses of equal level and similar type.. However, it was just a beginning of him...the fate of a mighty godslayer Author's note: MC is a sly, smart, and firm person. Of course, he’s not perfect—he still makes some mistakes—but I make sure they don’t cause any annoyance to readers. Side characters? Sure, they will have some depth. Harem? Don’t worry. The MC is not a simp, and his girls are not stupid either. They build real connections; I don’t just throw girls in and call them his wives. Fighting? A lot… but it leans more toward tactics than just fighting over who has the better cheat. The pace of the first ~20 chapters is quite fast, but don’t worry, it will slow down later. * I’m an inexperienced writer. If anyone reaches this chapter and finds it confusing or uncomfortable to read, please leave some feedback. You don’t have to comment, but if you do, it will help an author grow. And in the future, who knows—maybe the quality work you’re reading will be written by the same author you once helped in the past… Think of it as an investment, my friend. Thank you very much.

ORIGINAL STORY. NOT A TRANSLATION. MC IS OVERPOWERED. SOMETIMES THE MC IS NOT THE FOCUS OF THE STORY. Sypnosis: What do you think happens when all hope is lost? When there is a profound imbalance in the universe, causing waves of suffering that ripple through countless lives, all because the chains of selfishness and ignorance bind individuals together, rendering them powerless? In a typical scenario, this disarray would lead to the cataclysmic destruction of the universe. A cosmos that lacks equilibrium has forsaken its core purpose and becomes unworthy of its own existence. A flawed creation. Yet, the annihilation of the universe entails more than just the end of one reality; it also signifies the erasure of other galaxies, countless innocent beings, and the rich tapestry of life that flourishes within them. Even the universe itself, which cherishes its creations with an impartial love, would be loath to take such drastic measures. For this type of scenario, the universe decides it needs a new person who can distribute and embody the concept of Hope. Kardia, a seemingly normal guy, whose name means "Heart" in the old Greek language, was the person that the universe decided it needed to bring to bring "hope to this new world."

The world is a masterpiece. To Elara, it’s a masterpiece full of typos. In the Empire of Aetheria, magic is a divine gift—a shimmering tapestry woven by the gods. But where others see holy light and unstoppable spells, Elara sees the Fraying. She sees the knots that shouldn't exist, the unstable ripples in space, and the fundamental errors in the "code" of reality. Born as a lowly servant in the High Mage’s manor, Elara lived a life of silence, watching as the elite fumbled with their "perfect" spells. To them, a fireball is a manifestation of will. To Elara, it’s a poorly optimized sequence of heat and friction. When a catastrophic "Reality Glitch" threatens to erase her city, the High Mages fail. Their prayers and chants do nothing. In the chaos, a simple servant girl steps forward. She doesn't chant. She doesn't pray. She simply reaches out and plucks the thread. Now, on the run from an Empire that fears what it cannot control, Elara must navigate a world that is slowly unravelling. She isn't here to learn magic. She’s here to debug it. What to expect: Logic-Based Progression: No heavy stat-sheets, but a deep, consistent magic system based on understanding and manipulation. Competent Female Lead: A protagonist who wins through observation, intellect, and exploiting the "bugs" in her enemies' powers. World Mystery: Why is the world glitchey? What lies beyond the Fraying?

In a world full of fools and sages, I am the one who goes beyond foolishness. I may be a simp sometimes. But for me, She is my whole world. I see you cannot understand the mystery of love: to love is to suffer. Here you have your king of cosmos and the queen of destiny. Do not listen to him: he is a simp, being in love with a girl who barely had friends. Go away, Author. You have no girlfriend, nor money. So we should put you in your place. Last novel was a failure. I am getting ready to continue this book: Philosophy, love, paradox, romance, weird harem, Christianity, other religions, power, politics, gods, the logos, the fool, babies, impregnation, theology, university, daemon, seriousness, and conflict. D should get a girlfriend to be honest. Shut the fuck up! you are a simp. Sorry. This novel can be kinda schizophrenic.

A warp error sends Aiden, a Mech and Autonomous Systems Engineer, and his research vessel, somewhere no star map recognizes. Below lies a world ruled by mana, monsters, and kingdoms divided by magic and swords. With limited technology, a damaged ship, and an AI carrying layers of data and research even the protagonist did not fully understand, survival was not a matter of power but of preparation. Clean water mattered more than weapons. Shelter mattered more than pride. And slowly, others began to notice. People rejected by mage towers. Soldiers tired of endless wars. Civilians who simply want to live. In a world that decides worth by mana, an engineer begins building something different. Not a weapon. Not an empire. A place where logic stands beside magic. Where swords are not discarded. And where survival is treated as a right for everyone, not a privilege.
