"Society calls it Murder. The System calls it Mercy." Sunny was just hours away from joining the Army—destined to become another cog in a broken machine. To him, the world was already a mistake, a sketch drawn with wrong proportions where laws are jokes and humans are merely biological waste waiting to decay. But on the eve of his enlistment, time froze. When a red-haired entity offered him a choice, Sunny didn't ask for heroism. He asked for Destruction. Now armed with the terrifying power to rot flesh, erase evidence, and turn order into chaos, Sunny begins his hunt with a heart devoid of empathy. He doesn't fight for justice; he fights to silence the noise. From corrupt police stations to the mansions of untouchable politicians, nothing is safe from his touch. The powerful Minister isn't just a leader anymore; he is a High-Value XP Target. The world thinks they are chasing a serial killer. They don't realize they are facing a force of nature. Sunny doesn't want to save the world. He wants to Reset it to Absolute Zero. [If you like dark fantasy then you should definitely like this. It also has some disturbing elements. cold mc with zero empathy. How did you like it, please tell me in the comments.]

A modern director unexpectedly returns to Hollywood in 1986, and began his legendary journey to take control of the centre of largest film and television industry in the world, step by step. (This is a translated novel by Just Do or Jia Si Te Du, at least as far I could find, I've mainly edited it to make it more consistent and coherent than any version I could find)

Reborn as General Zod, who was about to be exiled after the failed coup, he was powerless to save Krypton from destruction. In order to change his fate of having his neck broken by Superman, the son of the DC Universe, in the future, Zod plans to find a place with the sun and live there peacefully. However, he didn't expect that the Myriad Worlds Roulette System would be activated at this time. At the beginning, he would obtain the complete inheritance of the Emperor's Scripture of the Holy Emperor of the Sun, and he could also obtain the number of roulette draws by triggering tasks. The first time he drew, he got the sunflower from Plants vs. Zombies. Even without solar radiation, he could still unlock the super talents of Kryptonians. So Zod decisively changed his goal. He planned to arrive on Earth in advance, retrieve the Codex of Life from Superman, use the Creation Chamber technology to mass-produce Kryptonians, and gradually rebuild a new Krypton. As he continued to complete tasks and gain more draws from the Wheel of All Worlds, Zod also gained more treasures and abilities. From the energy crystals that can give life to planets in Armor Hero Xingtian, to the seeds of the Tree of Life in Ultraman Orb, or the dimensional wall that can travel through parallel time and space at will in Kamen Rider Decade... He found the super Kryptonian Hale, defeated Superman, improved and upgraded the Kryptonian genes, and then he had a group of super Kryptonian warriors who had no weaknesses and were powerful enough to rival gods. From then on, the name of New Krypton resounded throughout the multiverse and even in all the heavens and worlds.

Thus began the cycle of killing, with exorcists painstakingly trying to put an end to it.

Leo was reborn in the body of a minor villain inside a romance webtoon he had read only a little of before getting bored. Before he could even feel upset, he acquired a system. Although this system was flawed and unstable, it was still a system. Leo spent some time reading fortunes, some time counseling people, and some time spreading money around like a rich second-generation man and getting ten times return rewards. All of this was because his system constantly transformed into different systems. One day, Leo was arrested by heavily armed soldiers. Leo was surprised but did not resist, as he believed the source of the money coming from the system was reliable. Until he heard the one-eyed, scary man who entered the interrogation room say to him, “Wow, you really look just like a human, SCP-0004.” Leo then realized that the webtoon's author had also bored with the romantic theme, just like him. And without realizing it, Leo became one of the first SCPs of all time. ------ not a translation. just an interesting novel where you can see all kinds of systems.

When Matthew comes to himself, he finds himself in his past self. As he contemplates the advantages of traveling back in time and how rich he'll become by copying future novels, songs, and business ventures, he realizes from the conversations of those around him that this world isn't his old one, and that instead of going back in time, he's transmigrated to another. A world where people have the opportunity to gain superpowers and devour devil fruits upon becoming adults. Matthew manages to obtain the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit from the Holly Land, where people gain their superpowers. However, after obtaining the Devil Fruit while he was observing others entering and exiting the Sacred Realm, he encountered a strange sight. Someone got Kryptonian Bloodline! "Why does everyone treat the Kryptonian Bloodline like a useless power? Oh, in this world, sunlight doesn't reach Earth. So, doesn't anyone know how the Kryptonian body is strengthened?" At that moment, Matthew makes a decision that will change the fate of the world he finds himself in. "Hey, can you exchange your Kryptonian Bloodline for my Flame Flame Fruit?" No one could understand why Mathew did that, but Matthew had a completely different thought. "So what if the sun's rays don't reach this world? I'm the only one who knows how to strengthen the Kryptonian body. As long as I know what I need, it won't be too hard to find. And then humanity will meet SUPERMAN." ---------- I do not own Superman or any of the other mentioned creations. This is a fanfiction. ---------- This is a translated story.

We all love Call of Duty ,well, who doesn’t? For Reever, it wasn’t just a game. It was his life’s battlefield, his digital home, and the one place where he could still feel young. After decades of dominance in the gaming world, Reever now ninety and bedridden receives an unexpected visit from the creators of Call of Duty: Ascend.EXE, the next-generation VR experience that blurs the line between player and soldier. They offer him the honor of being the very first to play. One final mission before death. Inside the simulation, his old instincts returned. The battlefield burned, drones screamed across the sky, and Reever fought like it was 2045 again. But as his real heart began to fail, the world dimmed and then a message appeared before his eyes: [YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE] CONTINUE PLAYING? [YES/NO] With his final breath, he clicked YES. Outside, his body flatlined. Inside, he woke in a cold, endless chamber filled with frozen soldiers avatars suspended mid-respawn. A metallic voice greeted him: “Welcome, Bot-067.” Now trapped inside the system, Reever must survive a world built from code, blood, and broken memories. Death no longer frees him it resets him. And as the system grows aware, he begins to wonder if he’s still playing the game… or if the game is now playing him.

Kai Suzuki, an eighteen-year-old with the facade of an innocent, lazy scholar, harbors a dark secret: he's a master manipulator. unexpectedly, he dies(yes he does). But instead of an afterlife, Kai finds himself inexplicably rewound in time, back to the tender age of eight. Gifted with a second chance, and armed with the sharp, cynical mind of his future self, Kai sees not a fresh start, but an opportunity to rectify perceived injustices and exert control over his world. His past life, he now realizes, was one of wasted potential, particularly in the realm of social connections and romantic pursuits where he felt perpetually on the outside. This time, things will be different. Driven by a chilling conviction, Kai embraces the controversial concept of "NTR" – not as a victim, but as the architect. With his innocent charm and preternatural understanding of human psychology, he begins to weave a sinister web. He'll subtly influence, skillfully charm, and strategically undermine relationships around him, aiming to reclaim the affections of girls he desires, or simply to prove his dominance by orchestrating the downfall of burgeoning romances.

Kaito Aoyama grew up with everything. Money, status, a future already planned for him. He was taught to succeed and to never show weakness. But he was never taught how to be human. Years ago, a rumor was enough to make him turn his back on the girl he loved. He left Japan thinking distance would erase what he did. When he finally comes back to Tokyo, he expects he can step into his old life again. He cannot. The people he left behind have moved on, and the version of him that mattered to them is gone. Kaito starts spending his nights in Kabukicho, chasing quiet ways to feel less. Drinking turns into dependence. Small choices turn into habits. Intimacy becomes something he buys because it is easier than being known. Under the neon, he tells himself he is fine, but he is just disappearing in slow motion. Then he meets Reina, a high end escort who has learned how to read men like Kaito. She carries her own damage, hidden behind control and polish. Their connection begins carefully, almost by accident, and for a moment it feels real. Like maybe he could still become someone better. But Kaito does not know how to change, and he hates what accountability asks of him. The more real it gets, the more he reaches for the same escapes. What they have breaks, not in one dramatic moment, but in the gradual way people fall apart when one of them refuses to grow. NEON GRAVE is a dark psychological web novel about masculinity in crisis, love ruined by ego, and the cost of choosing emptiness again and again. It offers no redemption, only truth.

Aham Armstrong was born into power—but raised by loss. Orphaned at a young age and later adopted into the legendary Armstrong empire, Aham grows into a man determined to protect his parents’ legacy. When he marries Kelly, the woman he believes is his safe haven, he thinks he has finally won peace. He was wrong. Framed for massive financial crimes he never committed, Aham is arrested, disgraced, and thrown into prison as his empire collapses overnight. His wife vanishes. His name becomes poison. And the man pulling the strings—Don Pedro, a trusted family ally—steps silently into control of everything Aham once owned. Prison does not break Aham. It forges him. With the unexpected return of Clara, a brilliant lawyer from his forgotten past, Aham uncovers a conspiracy deeper than fraud—one rooted in murder, manipulation, and a decades-old betrayal that claimed his parents’ lives. As the truth emerges, a powerful shadow figure known as Jane Smith resurfaces, holding evidence capable of toppling empires across borders. But revenge is never simple. Kelly returns, wearing regret like a mask, while secretly carrying orders to finish what she started. Don Pedro grows desperate as his perfect plan begins to crack. And Aham must walk a razor’s edge—pretending to trust the woman who tried to kill him, while turning himself into bait to expose the monster behind it all. In a world where love is weaponized, loyalty is lethal, and power is taken—not given—Aham Armstrong must decide: Will he reclaim his legacy… or burn the empire down to reveal the truth? Because this time, survival isn’t enough. This time, the truth will own blood.

Just an unlucky bastard trapped navigating through low IQ brainrot plots trying to survive.

No one believes the city is changing. That’s what makes it dangerous. Shadows appear where fear gathers — classrooms, hallways, forgotten corners — and every time something goes wrong, Arav Malhotra is there. What begins as survival turns into a descent into a hidden world of fractured Gates, unnatural entities, and human enforcers who believe some awakenings should be stopped before they spread. As control slips and memories begin to fracture, Arav realizes he is not being hunted — he is being evaluated. In Kalyuga, power does not create heroes. It exposes what was already broken.

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. ▄▀█ █░░█▄▀ has survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts ▄█ █▀░ █▄█ had walked. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies. But strip it away. What is left behind? ———————— I'm pretty excited to come back here after literal months of being away, i haven't updated since i felt it had no real place, it didn't feel real enough, well; as realistic as i wanted it tbh. The characters I had were either to much of this or that and didn't have struggles that felt meaningful. So i toned down how strong the mc is and will be along other things. I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. long ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace. 09/25

The world was supposed to end at 3:17 a.m. It didn’t. When reality failed to collapse, it created something worse—surplus. Eren Vale was never chosen, never special… just left over. Now the universe is trying to correct its mistake—and Eren may be the flaw it can’t erase.

What would you do if you kept reliving your worst day... over and over... until you got it right? Ren Ryūhara arrives at Sakura High for only one reason: to find the boy who knows why his brother ended up in a coma. What he didn't expect was to become a pawn in a brutal gang war or to discover that he can rewind time itself. Three months. That's how long it took to break him. One savage beating. One betrayal. One body in a pool of blood still laughing even as Ren crushes his throat. The cops arrive and Ren realizes too late: he was set up from the very beginning. But when his eyes open again, he's not in a cell. He's back at Day One. The question isn't if Ren will break the loop. It's who he will become by the time he does. Checkmate. Your move. This is a gritty, time-loop thriller in the vein of Tokyo Revengers, Re:Zero where every reset costs more than the last, and the only way forward is to break the cycle before it breaks him. https://discord.gg/9xJusvAzC here's the discord link for discussion, theories and character art.

Home… Sweet home… That’s what I used to believe. A loving family. Parents I trusted. A life that felt stable and real. I was wrong. The day I uncovered my mother’s secret, everything collapsed. Not loudly. Not all at once. But piece by piece. Love turned into a performance. Warmth turned into disgust. And every smile I remembered became proof of how deeply I had been fooled. They thought I was too young to understand. Too naïve to see the cracks. But lies leave scars, even when spoken softly. From that day on, I stopped being a child. I learned to watch. To stay silent. To remember everything. This is not a story about forgiveness. And it is not about saving a broken family. This is the story of a boy who grew up inside a lie… and what happens after the truth is revealed.
