In a world where magic determines one’s worth, he was born with none. In the land of Eldermist, even children can cast spells — but he could not. Mocked and underestimated, he chose a different path.

When darkness rises and powerful mages fall, the world will witness an impossible truth — The one without magic will become its greatest hero.

I died a virgin right after winning the lottery. Bad luck? That's my brand. So when a Grim Reaper offered me reincarnation with a gacha system for a "second chance," I should've known better than to trust my luck. I rolled... an orc. The only fat orc in my entire tribe. The dungeon's demon lord gave me three years to lose weight or die. I trained harder than anyone, became stronger than most warriors in my tribe, but my belly stayed huge. With hours left to live, I made the dumbest decision of both my lives: if I'm dying anyway, might as well lose my virginity first. [Virginity Lost! System activated!] [Obtain dungeon control upon complete subjugation] Turns out I was supposed to be a DUNGEON MASTER, not a slave warrior. And turns out I've committed the ultimate taboo: interspecies breeding, forbidden across all civilizations. Now I'm a fugitive. Humans, demons, and monsters alike want me dead. My own kind thinks I'm disgusting. I have absolutely nothing left to lose. Time to turn the worst gacha pull in history into the greatest dungeon the world has ever seen.

From Quarry Camp to the Prison Fortress… From Southeast Atlanta to the entire United States… With the system in hand, Shawn crushed everything in his path, climbing to the top step by step on a mountain of corpses. Yet sometimes, even he felt confused. "Weren’t zombies supposed to be endless?" "So why do there seem to be fewer and fewer the more I kill?"

In the era of the Old World, there walked women who did not merely cast magic, but breathed life into the world. They were the weavers of Black Magic, more commonly known as Witches. For thousands of years, the earth has been barren of them. For a Witch is not born; she is wrought. The scholars of the Old World claimed three conditions unlock this forbidden power: First, there must be the Drowning of the Heart. The woman must be pushed past the breaking point of human sorrow. Grief must become the water that drowns her humanity. Second, there must be the Sharpening of the Will. Hate must become the steel of her spine. She must choose not to weep, but to burn. Third, and most rare, there must be the Anchor of the Beast. A Witch without a tether is but a storm that consumes itself. She requires a devotion that rivals her own: a dragon who would trade his divinity to stand in the shadow of her thorns. When these three tides collide, the mage dies, and the Witch awakens. It is said that when the Witch returns, the mountains will breathe again. The dead woods will scream, and the kingdoms of men will be reclaimed by a garden that never sleeps. > Warning: This novel features a morally complex ML and FL, as well as dark themes.

The man who died in an alley woke up in a world of beasts, dragons and living ink—with a new name, a new family, and not a single memory of the life he left behind. By the time Antony Keaney turns ten, the old world is gone. No echoes of the knife. No face to put to the name "Leo" that sometimes rises in his throat like grief he can't explain. He is just a poor boy now, son of a laborer with a faded Draft-Horse Beast Bond and grey Rune and a mother whose Fire-Newt barely lights their hearth. Antony Keaney has never bonded a beast. He's never felt a Rune burn into his skin or heard the heartbeat inside an egg. He's just a ten-year-old boy from a poor family, about to stand in the Dredge Basin and pick whatever broken egg the nobles have left behind. He expects nothing. Maybe a Fire-Newt. Maybe nothing at all. What he gets is a Coal Lizard... A creature no one has ever seen before. A fire-newt with no fire. Cold to the touch. Grey as ash. The lowest of the low. The other children laugh. The Overseer calls it defective. His mother cries. But one person isn't laughing. Professor Venn is watching from the shadows. A researcher from the most prestigious academy in the region. He has spent twenty years studying Runes, cataloguing beasts, writing papers on things that have never been seen before. He has never seen a Coal Lizard, no one has. He doesn't want to help Antony. He wants to study him. Cut open his Rune on paper. Document the failure for science. And if the boy has to sit in a classroom with forty-two noble children who bully, mock and despise him? if he has to spend every day surrounded by dragons while his own beast can't produce a single spark? Then, oh well. That's a small price for knowledge. Antony doesn't know why his lizard sometimes feels warm when no one is watching. He doesn't know why his Rune itches late at night, like it wants to move. He doesn't know why Professor Venn's eyes follow him with something that looks almost like hunger. He only knows he's about to enter a school where everyone sees him as a walking failure to be examined. And somewhere, buried in ash, something is starting to remember how to burn...

The System of Vengeance Death was supposed to be the eternal end. But for one wandering soul, it was merely a gateway. After breathing his last in the modern world, he did not ascend to the afterlife. Instead, his consciousness was pulled across the fabric of reality, awakening in a dense, perilous jungle within a strange, new world. But he is not himself—he now inhabits the broken body of Lysander, a fallen noble. Lysander was a "waste," a boy born without magic in a prestigious family. Stripped of his title, disowned by his kin, and cast out to perish, the original owner of the body died in despair, hearing the cruel words of his family: "Your birth was a mistake." Now, a new soul drives this vessel. And he has brought something with him that this magical world has never seen: The System. Armed with the ability to level up and a cold determination to survive, the new Lysander will not accept the fate of a reject. He will forge this weak body into a weapon of war. The noble house wanted him dead. The jungle wants him eaten. But the Player has just logged in.

Once known as One-Eye, the Mercenary King fought for fifteen years beneath another man’s banner, uniting brutal companies and carving order from endless war.

She grants him a second life, releasing him back into the world so she can watch his story unfold once more. Reborn as Aesa, abandoned and unwanted, he rises again from nothing. As he grows, he discovers the ability to see the gravity of fate itself and, with effort and consequence, bend it. Lives, reputations, and destinies begin to shift wherever he walks.

Imagine waking up as the villain in your sister's cheesy fantasy novel. Yeah, not ideal, especially when that villain is destined for hatred, and a grim end in some forgotten dungeon. That's Astrid's new reality. Her old life? Gone. Her new mission? Survive. And step one means throwing the original script out the window. But changing fate is way harder than it sounds. In a desperate move, Astrid makes the story's heroine, Lyra, her personal maid. Clever, right? Except teaching Lyra magic and treating her like, well, a person, backfires spectacularly. Lyra's gratitude twists into something intense, dark, and possessive. And she's not the only one. Astrid tries mending fences with her powerful aunt, only to find herself smothered by a love that feels dangerously close to madness. Even her ambitious half-sister, originally her rival, gets weirdly attached after Astrid shows her a bit of warmth and helps her gain power using some modern-world smarts. Astrid thought she was being clever, building alliances, creating intelligence networks, rewriting roles. She is changing the story, but it's warping everyone around her. Their loyalty? It's becoming obsession. Their affection? A dangerous fixation. Now, Astrid isn't just fighting the plot. She's drowning in a mess of her own making – caught between people who crave her, tangled in lies and affections twisted way out of shape. Everyone wants her, and sharing isn't remotely on their agenda.
