Eighteen-year-old Kael Renix is a scrap salvager on a dying mining moon. He has no family, no future, and no interest in either. What he has is a good eye for danger and a quiet talent for surviving what he shouldn't. Then one night, the stars move. And something in the dark above Virex-9 notices him back. Pulled into the wreckage of a banned order called the Luminaries — guardians of a cosmic force the ruling Dominion spent a generation trying to weaponize — Kael finds himself caught between a mentor who hid the truth, a defector who might be the most honest person he's ever met, and a fallen guardian who sees in Kael either his replacement or his executioner. The Dominion wants the Axiom controlled. The Luminaries wanted it balanced. Kael just wants to understand why the sky moved — and why it feels like it moved for him. When Stars Obey is a space-opera trilogy opener about power, inheritance, and the cost of being chosen by something you never agreed to serve. PS: The story is also available on Royal Road, Wattpad and Mangatoon.

The only thing standing between a dead-end job and football glory? A holographic interface and a lot of hungover plumbers. Danny Walsh is going nowhere. At twenty-six, his life is a monotonous cycle of night shifts at a Manchester convenience store and escaping into the digital world of Football Manager, where he is a tactical genius building championship-winning teams from nothing. In the real world, he is just another guy with a dead-end job and a dream that feels impossibly far away. A mysterious notebook gives him an impossible edge: the power to see the hidden attributes of football players. It’s a party trick no one else can see, a useless superpower for a man going nowhere. But in the broken, overlooked talent of Manchester's gritty leagues, data is destiny. Danny holds a winning ticket, if he can only learn how to read it. And if this cursed gift doesn't break him first. --- For fans of Player Manager, Football Manager, and system novels, this is a character-driven, tactically rich, and hilariously authentic journey from the bottom of the pyramid to the very top. The beautiful game is about to get a system upgrade. Sports Fiction | System Novel | Football Management | Progression Fantasy ---

[Dark Urban Fantasy / System / Antihero] In the rain-soaked streets of Tokyo, monsters hide in plain sight. They wear human skin, mimic human voices, and rot from the inside out. They are the Zwitter. Jin Kurosawa is not a hero. He is a cleaner. A specialized executioner following a strict code: The Kaishaku Protocol. Armed with the Ignis-Void System—ancient weaponry disguised as harmless metal cylinders—Jin hunts the mimics that infest society's highest echelons. To the world, he is a wealthy medical student. To the monsters, he is the "Red Line," the last thing they see before their stolen flesh is returned to the void. But when a hunt reveals a creature evolving beyond the database's knowledge, Jin realizes the rot goes deeper than he thought. "Mercy is not saving them. Mercy is ending them." Warning: Contains graphic violence, body horror, and a cold-blooded protagonist.

"Son, what's your plan after middle school?" Such a plan had never crossed Ryomen Sukuna's mind. What did he want in life? What kind of mark does he want to leave in this world? His father always asked him this question whenever he could, though Sukuna always never had an answer no matter how hard he tried. "How about heroics, son?" Oh, maybe there is one now. (No harem, only Mina Ashido the pinky queen) (shit romance btw) (Yes, Sukuna has jjk Sukuna's powers, it's all in one quirk) (no system) (This is just a story where he beats up bad guys, gets the girl and aura farms, not thought out at all. Tons of cliche stuff in here) (I'll probably get MHA: Vigilantes in here later) (This was never supposed to be a deep dark story or something, and I never really was a good author so read at your own risk.)

In the quiet suburbs of Yokohama, invisible high-schooler Tanaka Yuta inherits a power his father once wielded in secret: Saimin Rewrite, an app that lets him rewrite memories, implant desires, and erase resistance with a single typed sentence. At first it’s curiosity, small tests on strangers, tiny thefts of will. Then it turns homeward. His target: Tanaka Akari, the devoted single mother who raised him alone after his father’s sudden death. One command to “calm her child” becomes a kiss. A kiss becomes obedience. Obedience becomes “listen to every request, no matter how outrageous”, permanent, unbreakable, with each level unlocked. Akari smiles, obeys, gives herself completely, because Yuta has made sure she wants nothing else. She cooks for him, bathes with him, whispers “yes” to every whispered desire, her maternal love twisted into absolute submission while still feeling perfectly natural. But the app grows hungrier with every use. Points accumulate. Levels rise. New targets appear: shy classmates, strict teachers, arrogant girls who once ignored him. Each conquest feeds the spiral—more power, more confidence, more women drawn into the hidden harem that revolves around the boy who was once invisible. Love is no longer given. It is rewritten. And Yuta is only beginning to understand how far he can take it. A slow, suffocating descent into forbidden ownership, where every “yes, Yuta” echoes with the quiet horror of a mother who no longer remembers she ever had a choice. **************** This story, Taboo Hypnosis: Love Rewritten, is currently available exclusively on Patreon for now.

Arjun Verma was a Level 1 Wireman. Then he died. In the chaotic, rusty underbelly of India’s infrastructure, "Jugaad" (improvisation) is King and Safety is a joke. Arjun was just another invisible laborer following orders—until a 440-Volt shock stopped his heart. He didn't wake up in heaven. He woke up with a Blue Interface floating in his vision. [SYSTEM INITIALIZED: THE ENGINEER] [OBJECTIVE: REWIRE THE NATION] Now, Arjun sees the world differently. Where others see a flickering light, he sees a Harmonic Distortion. Where others see a leaking pipe, he sees a fluid dynamics equation. Where others see a corrupt builder, he sees a Financial Liability. Armed with the [Electric Eye], [Blueprint Creation], and the absolute authority of "The Code" (Engineering Standards), Arjun declares war on the incompetence that plagues the system. But he cannot build a nation alone. He recruits a party of misfits: * Zoya Khan (The Auditor): A lawyer who weaponizes the Electricity Act and Tax Code to bankrupt corrupt contractors. * Bhairav Singh (The Titan): A heavy mechanic who solves problems that physics cannot—usually with a 36-inch wrench. Together, they form "Bharat Nirman" (India Construction). From fixing a tripped breaker in a luxury high-rise to fighting the Water Tanker Mafia in the slums; from converting sewage into Biogas Gold to turning a dying river into a Smart Grid—Arjun is climbing the ladder. His enemies? The Land Mafia, the Inverter Lobby, corrupt bureaucrats, and the Old Grid itself. They have money, muscle, and politics. Arjun has the System. And in this game, Physics always wins. Current Arc Status: * Book 1: The Current (Completed) - Origin & Team Building. * Book 2: The Grid (Completed) - Water Mafia & Smart Sensors. * Book 3: The Waste (Completed) - Sewage-to-Energy & High-Rise Retrofit. * Book 4: The Slum (In Progress) - Decentralized Solar & The War against Monopolies.

The gods who neither understand the laws of the mortal realm, nor trouble themselves over the world. The demons who care even less. This world is jointly governed by the Ten Great Consortium Clans and the Law Enforcement Hall. The Law Enforcement Hall strives to uphold justice beneath heaven, yet over the years its foundation has been quietly gnawed away by the wealthy. The statutes proclaimed in broad daylight are nothing more than iron shackles forged for the poor, and gilded umbrellas held for the rich. When the poor commit crimes, judgment falls immediately. When the rich commit crimes, they slip through the cracks of the law like fish returning to deep waters. The impoverished can only struggle within the false dreams woven by the powerful, laboring until their bones are spent, their lives reduced to fuel for another’s prosperity. The desperate poor. The helpless common folk. With nowhere left to turn, they kneel before cold statues and pray for divine salvation. “You’ve come to God?” A faint voice echoes through the dim sanctuary. “Sorry to disappoint… I am a demon.” Every soul who steps into the church to make a wish, to seek God’s mercy, will hear Ye Ming’s words whispered in their ears. Ye Ming, a demonic cultivator bound to the System of Benevolence and Virtue, He listens to their confessions. He tastes their resentment. He gathers the inner demons festering within their hearts and uses them as nourishment to water the Demon Tree rooted deep within his sea of consciousness. From its branches, one demon after another is born.

Time Magazine once gave this review of a man: "Mr. Yang is a great inventor. The products he created changed how hundreds of millions live, work, and travel." "At the same time, his inventions created millions of jobs and made outstanding contributions to regional economies." ... Never would he have imagined—Yang Wendong, already a successful entrepreneur, would accidentally travel back to the 1950s. Given a second chance, he would once again rise from nothing, climb to the peak of this era, and build a century-spanning Chinese family empire.
