Growing up, Corven had always known he was different. He was a misfit. An outsider. He never fit in, nor did he want to. And he got bullied for it. So when he learns that he's a demigod son of the strongest primordial god, he was notably surprised. But he quickly recovered, beginning to build his strength in a dog eat dog world. But power attracts enemies. And that's a lesson Corven will need to learn along the way, and, while being the son of the strongest can only protect one for so long, he will inevitably make enemies and rivals that would rather see him dead than succeed. As the son of the Primordial of Darkness and the prince of a forgotten royal family, Corven quickly becomes a target in a brutal world ruled by gods, monsters, demigods, nobles, cultivators, ancient Houses and ruthless politics. He must quickly build his power, brick by brick, because, if he knew one thing, it was this: He was never going to be weak ever again, and he'll ensure that he comes out on top, regardless of method. He had no intentions of bowing down to anyone ever again. In this world, strength defines worth, betrayal is currency, and weakness is an invitation to the gates of Death. So Corven must grow stronger. Faster. Smarter. More ruthless. Making both allies and enemies as he climbs the ladder of power to the peak. Because if he doesn’t, the enemies hunting him will bury him long before he ever reaches his full potential. His road is a bloody one, filled with war, betrayal, ancient enemies, and powers beyond mortal comprehension. Yet, with his loyal friends at his back and a primordial family that seems hellbent on gifting him absurdly overpowered abilities, Corven may actually stand a chance against the forces seeking his downfall... At least externally, anyway. Because the true enemy may lie within. See, power in this world comes at a cost. And Primordial Spawns are cursed notoriously worse than most. Sure, there may be Monarchs blessed by the elements. Demigods blessed by the gods. And Progenitors blessed by evolution itself. Primordial Spawns --- children born to primordial parents --- are blessed by the Primordials themselves; they are born with limitless potential and favored by the universe itself. But they are born with a curse. The stronger they become, the more their sanity begins to fracture beneath the weight of their own power. After all, the cost of power is madness and, as the strongest of the Primordial Spawns, Corven has madness in spades. Suffice to say, if the enemies of Erebus don’t kill Corven before his ascension... His own insanity might just do the trick. He fights dirty. He talks back. Mercy? There is none left. This is not a story about heroes. This is the rise of the Shadowborn monster the world tried to erase — and the legend that will force them to remember why darkness was the very first element in creation... And why it is feared. ------------------------------------ WARNING: This story isn’t for the faint of heart. The main character is shameless, crude, and unapologetically ruthless.

Then a truck ended his winning streak. Standing trial before three very unimpressed gods, he did what he does best: negotiated. Talked eternal damnation down to a counteroffer. Now he's Lucidius, Demon Lord of a forgotten wasteland, under strict orders to give a world gone soft and complacent something to fear again. Lucien doesn't do anything halfway. Saddled with an angelic handler who's failing spectacularly to resist his charm, he sets his ruthless business instincts, corporate savvy, and shameless charisma loose on his new kingdom, and starts building an empire that doesn't conquer. It modernizes. Plumbing. Electricity. Labor laws. Sensual massage benefits, obviously. The people worship him. The royals fear him. The gods are starting to sweat. He was sent to restore celestial balance. Lucien Vale is here to dominate, and build a world worth conquering. --------------------- Enjoying the ride?

Chen Xiaoyun, an orphan from Guangzhou, China, once met a girl who looked remarkably like him. Before he could learn more about her, a deadly virus was unleashed around the globe. Humans turned into creatures straight out of video games and movies, and zombies and mutants roamed the streets with no one to stop them. From tanks to jockeys to even invisible zombies and mutated dogs. The mutations are just endless. "Why is there a zombie apocalypse just as I find my family? And why can I suddenly create things from thin air?" Will Xiaoyun survive the chaos with the new people he meets along the way? Will he use his newfound abilities to bring peace to a devastated world? Or perhaps he will just take another nap in the bed like a lazy pig—— "Shut up.

"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how. But glory… glory is the answer. Glory will outlive flesh and bones. Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality." ~~~~ Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything—except the will to make use of it. "Why should I walk the same path as my ancestors? Why must I seek strength just to defeat one rival or compete with another? That is not what I was born for!" --- “…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

"Although I was reborn as the weakest of the five-colored dragons, and transmigrated into a little female dragon, and had a disastrous start, at least I am a top-tier race. It's better than being reborn as a maggot, right?" Jona Velli looked at the pure white dragon scales covered by blood and dust, and was forced to accept the fact that she had inexplicably transmigrated to this magical continent and become a little female dragon because of drinking. "Now that I've come to this strange world, how can I not make a big splash? Hehehehe..." ………… Seeing the awakened power of time, Jona Velli was so excited that she almost jumped up and started spinning like a Thomas the Tank Engine. Time acceleration? No, no, no, that's not a good description at all. It should be renamed "Weekend". Time has forgotten? No, no, it should be renamed [Breaking Promises], hehehe~

They thought they were logging into the ultimate sci-fi VRMMO. They had no idea they were the unwitting champions of a starving, newborn Chaos God. [Welcome to Epoch 40k: Mecha] The developers promised glorious mechas, interstellar colonization, and a grand sci-fi epic. Instead, players are dumped into a rotting nightmare where the tutorial involves dodging Ork raiding parties for scrap metal, and the local NPCs chant religious litanies just to repair a rusty tractor. Behind the curtain, however, a newly awakened Chaos God named Lucian Sanctus is desperately pulling the strings. Sitting at the absolute bottom of the Warp's food chain, Lucian needs to harvest emotional energy to survive. But feeding openly means drawing the ire of the established Chaos Gods—especially Slaanesh, as he knows she would love nothing more than to devour a fledgling deity before he can become a threat. His brilliant, desperate solution? Summon gamers from Earth. By disguising a grim, unforgiving reality as a virtual sandbox, Lucian can safely gorge himself on their gamer rage, triumph, and gacha-induced despair without the Emperor or the Chaos Gods noticing a thing. Armed with a total disregard for their own lives, a terrifying penchant for exploiting bugs, and a deeply questionable moral compass, these "players" have formed the Red Dawn guild. The galaxy might be a decaying cesspit, but they have sworn to fix it... or accidentally establish a brand-new galactic empire trying.

The beginning of the apocalypse brought chaos and disaster to humanity. It tore away the mask of society and revealed the cruelty hiding beneath. Ivy Ravencroft experienced it all firsthand. Her family was unfair and cruel, and they abused her so badly that she went blind. Her lover died trying to protect her, and she spent the next five years struggling to survive, until she finally died in the apocalypse. But then, Ivy woke up again, reborn in the first year of the apocalypse. At first, she felt hopeless. If only she had returned to a time before the apocalypse, she could have gathered food, weapons, and supplies to survive better. Still, she was grateful for one thing: she had kept her special ability, the power to create safe zones. This time, Ivy made a promise. She would protect her lover, find her real family, and take revenge on everyone who had hurt her. .................................. "Huh? Why is there a bento box lying here?" Ivy asked, confused. "What bento? Are you trying to trick me again?" Silas asked, sadness in his eyes. "This one!" Ivy said, holding up the packaged meal and waving it at him. "What the... where did that come from?" Silas stared at it in shock. Ivy’s eyes widened. She realized something, only she could see these items, and when she picked them up, they became real. "Can… I buy it from you?" Silas asked, unsure. "Of course. But I won't give it to you for free." Ivy smiled like a fox. Silas closed his eyes; he was ready for her to demand something sky-high and said, "Okay. Tell me how many gold bars you want." Ivy smiled and teased, "I don't want gold bars; they are way too cheap. I want one kiss." Silas: Blushing hard. His subordinates: "..." This wave of dog food was too unexpected! ....................................................... With the supplies, picking a superpower and a safe zone superpower, Ivy built her own residential area. She gained Kindness Energy and multiplied supplies with the help of Temporal Storage. While other bases struggled to make a simple house, she used her golden finger to make luxurious buildings and rent them out, becoming the big shot in the apocalypse.

Karura is eight years old, the daughter of a baker, and the newest genin in Sunagakure. She's also the most dangerous puppeteer the village has produced in a generation, and nobody can figure out why. In a hidden village struggling with poverty, sandstorms, and enemies on every border, Karura builds puppets that shouldn't exist, fights like she's been doing it for decades, and quietly works to make life better for the people around her. Her teammates don't know what she really is. Her sensei simply does with what he's given. The Puppet Brigade looks to her as the next leader. She has secrets she can't share. Power she can't explain. And a village that's going to need every bit of both, because Sunagakure deserves to finally stand at the top for once.

What if a new player appeared in the Harry Potter universe? Arcturus Malfoy is the heir to the ancient and noble Malfoy family. But there is one catch: he is not just an ordinary eleven-year-old boy. The childish sparkle in his eyes has disappeared, giving way to the sharp mind of a man who knows the future of magical Britain. Now he is completely different — a mixture of a pure-blood heir and a man from another world. A dangerous combination of ambition, knowledge, and talent. And he is ready to step over anyone who stands in his way. After all, it's much more fun to play chess than to be a piece on the board. And he has an advantage — so why not use it? Study magic at different schools, explore the vast magical world, and maybe even assemble his own small army. It sounds simple enough. All that remains is to turn his goals into reality.
