Imagine waking up one day and realizing the life you were living was nothing but a creation of someone else's desire... Well, I woke up one morning and found out that I was nothing more than a character in a novel—a cannon fodder destined to be stepped on by the protagonist. William Hart, the boy I always bullied, was going to kill me in chapter 50 and walk a path to greatness while I perished in eternal anguish. Like I was going to let that happen. So I took a chance the original me never took. When I received the proposal for an arranged marriage to Valerie Morningstar, I gladly accepted it. Not because she was as beautiful as a goddess or had the greatest figure ever... but because she was the novel's final boss. The Crimson Catastrophe. The woman who would shake the entire world before falling to the protagonist's blade. In the original story, I was supposed to refuse this engagement, claiming marriage would hold me back. That rejection would be the first step in her transformation into a villain. But now? I knew exactly what she would become—the most powerful person in this world. Now, with the knowledge of the plot and Valerie by my side, I was going to survive in this cursed world. The protagonist can have his destiny. I'll rewrite mine.

Arthur Sully was an ordinary man, grounded, determined, but stuck in the monotony of life. That was until fate, cruel and unexpected, struck him down in a tragic accident.

Struggling to comprehend his situation, Arthur soon discovers something extraordinary: he can adapt.

Thrown into a brutal survival game, Arthur’s resolve is pushed to its limits as he learns to fight, adapt, and master his strange ability. Arthur must confront not only the monsters of this alien realm but also the terrifying truth of his existence. He must Adapt, evolve, survive, or die trying. Contains World-hopping, Sci-fi, No-Harem, System, Kingdom-Building Though the Main character has a System but it works only as a panel that shows his progress, abilities and has some nifty features. *** Read 30 chapters ahead on patreon!! patreon.com/New_Horizon1 Free patreon members gets to read 2 chapters ahead!! 3-4 Ch/Week

The heavens erased the devil race ten thousand years ago. Their bloodlines were burned. Their laws shattered. Their very existence rewritten as myth. Kael is born anyway. Reincarnated into a weak village at the edge of the world, Kael carries the first devil bloodline to exist since extinction. To survive, he must hide what he is, grow in silence, and devour power from the shadows while the heavens search for him without realizing it. In this world, cultivators seek immortality. Kings seek dominion. Gods seek control. Kael seeks ownership. As ancient sects rise and kingdoms fall, Kael walks a forbidden path of blood, law, and conquest. Every enemy he defeats becomes fuel. Every realm he ascends brings him closer to a truth the heavens buried long ago. The devil race did not lose the ancient war. They were betrayed. And this time, Kael will not challenge heaven. He will replace it.

Yet again, Earthlings were summoned. A dying Time God, already half-corrupted, descended upon Earth with nothing but a single, blinking eye. No body. No mercy. Before he could explain why the other world was collapsing—or what happened—he died. The chosen were cursed. Each Earthling aged from 12 to 60 was reincarnated into another world. Each was trapped in an isolated time loop. Each was abandoned without answers. Ganesh chose to reincarnate as the weakest race imaginable: a slime. Not for survival—but because the system offered him a trait, very powerful: Eternal Mastery [Mythic]. With every death, his body reset. With every loop, his masteries, learned techniques, and pain carried over. He awakened in a slime farm, where slimes were bred like cattle, harvested for food, and burned alive for amusement. He learned quickly. He died quickly. Again. And again. And again. Across loops, Ganesh experimented with his own existence— Fire Slime {Uncommon}. Water Slime {Uncommon}. Acid Slime {Uncommon}. Elemental Slime {Rare+}. Spirit Slime {Legendary}. Dragon Slime {Mythic}. Even Primordial Slime {Divine}. But strength revealed truth. Humans had erased their own history using sealed artifacts. Demons were branded as betrayers. Gods fought unholy beings elsewhere—leaving their failures behind. Beneath ruined cities and sealed fortresses, eldritch creatures waited— Rituals granted power along with a curse. Artifacts erased wills. Faith was devoured before it could bloom. And the deeper Ganesh went, the clearer it became: The world had lost hope and was corrupted with Eldritch. Even the sun and moon were taken over by Eldritch. Now, as gods fall, timelines fracture, and ancient wars resurface, Ganesh must decide— Will he save the world Or will he follow the same path… and become something unholy himself? Dark Fantasy • Time Loop • Eldritch Horror • Progression Fantasy Daily Updates A dark progression fantasy with time loops and psychological erosion (for readers who enjoyed the despair and repetition of Re:Zero). No one 17 and under admitted is due to gore and dark... And an important note, something happens near the end of Arc 3, this is for those who feel limitless loops have no tension....because he can still loop—but every reset tears his soul apart. The truth behind this wound is revealed near the end of Arc Three. {Read it to find out}

Kael, a reclusive and antisocial man, died alone in his apartment, consumed by frustration and regret. But his tale didn't end in darkness. Reborn in the unforgiving world of Eridoria, where the law of the jungle reigned supreme and apes were eerily absent, Kael found himself in the body of a lion cub with a unique bloodline. This was no ordinary rebirth; he was a lion unlike any other. Thrust into the complex web of pride dynamics and social hierarchy, Kael must navigate treacherous alliances, rivalries, and his own primal instincts. With a fierce determination burning within, he sets his sights on a singular goal: to claim the title of the ultimate King. Warning: R18, incest, harem, neutral/dark/ruthless MC, violence.

A mysterious Freeblade from the shadow faction Les Errants promises them a chance to survive, to seek revenge, and to uncover the truth behind Caleb’s real fate.

When Kai Voss wakes up in the body of a broke, mana-less noble heir with a crumbling fortress and forty-three old soldiers, he should be finished before he starts. He isn’t. Because while everyone in Valdris measures power in mana grades and magic output, Kai is measuring something else entirely — supply lines, terrain, and the exact moment an overconfident lord with five hundred men makes his first mistake. He can’t cast a spell. He can’t swing a sword. What he has is a System nobody else can see, and fifteen years of military history that this world has never encountered. Lord Harken has five hundred soldiers and thinks Ashfield is already his. He has six days to find out how wrong he is.

[ Caution: Dark (18+) ] Henry Lukas never got to live. At just twenty years old, he died as a withered old man, his body ravaged by a cruel disease that stole his youth, his future, and every chance at happiness. Abandoned by family, rejected by love, and forgotten by the world, his life ended in a silent hospital room with nothing but regret and bitterness to keep him company. But death was not the end. Chosen by a sadistic Goddess of Mischief, Henry is reborn as Egon Novos in a brutal world he once escaped into through fiction. A world of monsters, slaves, and ruthless survival where the weak are trampled and the strong claim everything. There is just one problem. He is not the protagonist. He is a disposable extra. A nameless sword slave fated to die before the real story even begins. But fate made a mistake. Because Egon remembers everything. Armed with forbidden knowledge of the future, a mysterious trait that lets him see beyond the present, and a heart filled with resentment toward a world that never gave him a chance, Egon refuses to be forgotten again. He will steal what was never meant to be his. The protagonist’s power. Luck. Destiny. everything. In a world where loyalty can be bought and strength is absolute, Egon will rise from nothing and carve his name into legend. Not as a hero… but as the one who devours gods. --- Tags: Isekai, Antihero Protagonist, Dark Fantasy, Harem (Transformative), Revenge, Leveling Systems, Multiple Worlds, Emotional Trauma, Ruthless MC, Psychological Growth, NSFW (After 20), No NTR, No Netorare --- If You're a reader who enjoy brutal isekai with emotional depth, morally grey decisions, and worlds that push both power and sanity to the limit.

The Earth's Evolution begins with the first phase Monster Invasion, and everyone receiving a system. The system allows them to choose classes like RPG games: Warrior, Mage, Paladin, Healer, and many more. ____ Li Wei and Li Xin were both shut-in gamers and stepsiblings. They were bored with normal life and yearned to live as if they were in RPG games. When suddenly the world started to change suddenly like they wanted. Li Wei selected special class, "Jack-of-all-Trades," because he desired to master everything. There was no problem and everything was going well, when suddenly he was forced to accept the quest to kill gods, along with the upgrade of his system. Little did he know that he was chosen mistakenly because of his bad luck. However, every time he kills a monster, he gains 10× more XP and rewards than a normal person, making him stronger. ___ It was when the second phase of Earth Evolution starts, making everyone stunned because it begins with 'World Rebuilding.' The Earth begins to absorb nearby worlds, changing the whole map, adding dungeons and spawning monsters. The Earth was changing, similar to fantasy world's described in games and novels. ____ Li Wei and Li Xin were in trouble as people discovered their extraordinary strength; because of this they escape from the city of earth and head towards unknown forest where they stumbled upon a city from another world. The city was just like a fantasy where Adventures Guild existed with all kinds of quests. *** Author's Note: The story is slow paced, MC is overpowered and there is a lot of romance. *** Content Warning: R18, No NTR, No Yaoi *** LinkTree- https://linktr.ee/Around_The_Moon Discord- https://discord.gg/zTgR9VFduX

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. How am I supposed to do anything when you keep throwing women at me?" ____________ Author's note: There is no NTR or Yuri unless you consider a threesome as Yuri, in which case I have nothing for you.

Elizabeth Rose. Young. Beautiful. Talented. She conquered the underworld and was crowned Queenpin. Women adored her. Men resented her. She was powerful. Glamorous. Untouchable. Until she wasn’t. Betrayal ended her reign. After everything she built… After all the blood, loyalty, and dominance… It still wasn’t enough. — July 22nd, 1510. Florence, Italy. She opened her eyes again. Not as Elizabeth Rose. But as newborn Alessandro de' Medici. The first historically afro Italian duke of florence & penne, Illegitimate son of Lorenzo II de’ Medici and a North African servant, Simonetta da Collavechio. High nobility. Proud. Rotting. A different throne. A different battlefield. Was power never enough? Or was she chasing the wrong kind? ___________________________________ Author Note: This is a spin-off of my other story (I Became Beyonce’s Half Sister) and is apart of the I.C.T.T universe.

[Completed] - I'm planning to write more extra chapters for this novel. [Rewrite done] === Su Min transmigrated into the game world of "Path of Immortality" right after creating her character. Now she's a fallen noblewoman whose clan was executed as scapegoats for a certain prince's rebellion. At just fourteen years old, she's become the target of a powerful being that wants her body. With the Emperor also wanting her dead, she's being hunted by the entire empire. A fugitive and utterly alone, how will she survive in this increasingly dangerous world? (Note: I'm currently refining the translation to smooth out the prose. If you spot small changes during a re-read, that's why! The story itself remains the same.)

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.

Hans Flemmens woke up in a world like Earth, yet it was not quite the same. The language and the people were of similar figures and structure, but their history differed. He got used to it, graduated, found a job, and began living like any other normal person. Then came a sudden meteor shower, crashing down and spreading a strange virus that turned most of humanity into the walking dead. When Hans opened his eyes again, the world was gone. Countless cities drowned in silence, streets crawling with millions to billions of zombies. Just as he thought it was over, a familiar sound echoed in his head. [ Welcome, Commander. Establishing battlefield control... Stand by. ]

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.

Radeon. A cosmic emperor who devoured his own universe to cage an unknown blight, and now woke in the weak flesh of a nobody scribe named Rai. Though they had arrived in a realm that should have been the best in its cosmos, it was not. The people were muddled and backward. One could compare the time to the Middle Ages, despite the realm’s frame being in the cosmic age. As he explored further, he discovered Eldritch Horrors running rampant within the Samsara Realm, trying to replace each man and woman with their own. Names for items and tools were skewed. Nothing had standards for equipment, pills, or martial arts. Knowledge of the mundane and the complex became too hard for people to fathom, as the progress of men was hampered by what they could not see. Aware of what was happening, Radeon faced a choice. Will he cultivate just enough and escape the realm? Or will he bring salvation to the living beings of this Samsara he reincarnated into?
