In a world where magic is regulated, taxed, licensed, and audited, heroism is just another department. Kael Ryn is a Grade-E Civil Mage employed by the Ministry of Ritual Oversight—an underfunded government bureau responsible for “minor magical disturbances.” While S-rank heroes battle dragons beyond city walls, Kael handles the real problems of everyday life: enchanted mailboxes demanding rent, potions that develop side effects after gaining self-awareness, illegally summoned familiars clogging public transit, and cursed furniture that won’t stop whispering at 3 a.m. In a society governed by an ancient magical administrative entity known only as The Ledger, every spell cast is recorded, every citizen ranked, and every miracle accounted for. The Ledger assigns power, permissions, social class, and magical authority. No one questions it. Until it begins to glitch. At first, the errors are small—misfiled spell logs, minor enchantments behaving unpredictably, everyday objects bending rules they shouldn’t know exist. But Kael discovers something no one else can see: a hidden layer beneath reality displaying arcane error codes and administrative fractures. When he resolves anomalies manually—without logging them through official channels—Kael unintentionally accumulates “Unauthorized Authority.” Each quiet fix gives him the ability to override micro-laws of magic itself. Rewrite spell boundaries. Patch corrupted enchantments. Adjust permissions. The more he fixes, the more reality listens to him. But The Ledger is still watching. As bureaucratic departments clash, heroes hide inconsistencies in their battle records, and entire districts begin overlapping with discarded divine subroutines, Kael realizes the system governing their world isn’t failing by accident. Someone is testing its limits. And Kael—the lowest-ranked civil servant in the city—may be the only one capable of rewriting the rules before daily life collapses into administrative catastrophe. In a world obsessed with epic destinies, Kael Ryn just wants to finish his paperwork. But the system has other plans.

"They left me with nothing. Not even my name in their will. But soon, they'll all kneel before me." Jasper Brooks lost everything in one week. His grandparents, the only family he had left, died and left him nothing. The relatives who abandoned him for eight years showed up to claim every last piece of property, erasing him from the will like he never existed. Even the house where he grew up? Demolished for a sports center. Homeless. Penniless. Invisible. But on the night he was beaten and humiliated something awakened. This is the beginning of his rise! [GODLY ASCENSION SYSTEM ACTIVATED] [New Mission: Seduce Your First Target] [Reward: Strength +10, Charm +15, $10,000] The system doesn't just make him stronger. It makes him irresistible. Every woman he conquers grants him power, wealth, and abilities beyond human limits. The more he takes, the more unstoppable he becomes. His best friend's mother. His bully's girlfriend. The ice-cold CEO who never looks at men. The celebrity everyone desires. They all want him now. From the boy everyone trampled on to the man everyone fears and desires, Jasper's ascension has begun.

Velstrea — the Eightfold Steel City. Built on the promise of protection and solitude, its citizens live peacefully. However, most are unaware of the dangerous secret that lies beneath the city’s creation. Devils, who were once humanity’s mortal enemies. Locked in a blood war that lasted centuries, their conflict ended abruptly when a worldwide event erased all memory of devils from the human mind. In 2028, 18-year-old Lucen Rivers, a resident of Velstrea, unknowingly involves himself with devils after blindly agreeing to enter a “Contract” proposed by a mysterious white-haired girl. Now, with a strange power awakening within him, Lucen’s impulsive decision permanently alters the course of his life.

Li Tianchen, the spoiled heir to the powerful Tianchen Group, lives a life of unchecked luxury, arrogance, and indulgence, believing wealth and status make him untouchable. One night, his casual humiliation of a quiet stranger in a bar sets in motion consequences far beyond his comprehension. Without threats or warnings, his family’s vast business empire begins to collapse—contracts vanish, assets are frozen, and long-standing allies abandon them. The downfall escalates into tragedy when masked assailants massacre his family. Li Tianchen survives only to witness his mother die protecting him, leaving him stripped of everything he once relied upon: power, money, and identity. Abandoned by friends and society, he wanders the streets as a broken man, haunted by guilt and loss. In despair and hatred, Li Tianchen forges a vow in his final days: if given another life, he will return to repay every wrong and seize true power—power that no wealth can buy. Death does not bring oblivion. Instead, his unyielding will draws the attention of a vast, indifferent force beyond life and death. Faced with the truth of his past arrogance and the promise of a crueler but greater path, Li Tianchen accepts the price without hesitation. The universe, vast and indifferent, seemed to pause. Somewhere beyond the veil of life and death, fate noted his determination. The scales of destiny, once tipped by arrogance, now waited for a force forged in suffering. Li Tianchen’s story, it seemed, was far from over and though the night was endless, the fire in his heart promised one thing: revenge, inevitable and absolute. One day, in a world that would tremble at his return, Li Tianchen would rise again—not as a naive heir, but as a force capable of rewriting destiny itself

In a broken world of ash and black clouds, dragons rule the sky and old vampire clans rule the ground. Human life is cheap, sold in chains to dark lords who drink blood and wage silent wars in the night. Kairn is a nameless slave boy in an iron mine at the edge of a dead kingdom, beaten, starving, and waiting to die. On the night a blood-red comet crosses the sky, a dying dragon crashes into the mine and burns everything Kairn has ever known. As he lies under stone and fire, a cold voice speaks in his mind and offers him a deal: live as a cursed vampire, bound to a hidden System that hungers for blood, or die as nothing. Kairn chooses to live. He wakes as a newborn vampire with a status screen carved into his soul, weak stats, and one strange path: “Draconic Bloodbound – locked.” To grow stronger, he must hunt in the dark, feed on those who would kill him, and survive the hunt of both humans and elder vampires who fear what he might become. As Kairn’s level rises, his powers twist his body, his mind, and his sense of mercy. He learns that the System is not a neutral guide but a chain forged by the First Sire, an ancient monster who once enslaved dragons and turned their blood into fuel for vampire evolution. The only way to break that chain is to claim a dragon of his own and evolve into something the world has never seen. In a land where the sun is a rare ghost behind storm clouds and trust is a quick way to die, Kairn must decide what he will sacrifice: his last human feelings, his few fragile allies, or the whole burning world above. There will be no heroes, only hunters and prey.

"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.)

During their high school’s chaotic cultural night, Rhea Patel—the perfectionist planner and lead vocalist of her friend group—is found dead inside a locked music room, her death quickly written off as a tragic accident. A week later, each of her six closest friends receives an anonymous message exposing a secret only Rhea knew—and hinting that the “accident” was engineered. As they retrace the festival hour minute by minute, they uncover camera blind spots, altered logs, and overlapping alibis that only make one thing clear: every one of them unknowingly helped set up the perfect crime, the story follows their descent from shared grief into suspicion, as memories warp under pressure and the question shifts from “Who killed Rhea?” to “What did we do to make it possible?”

Even after breaking up with his childhood sweetheart, Noah never noticed that someone had been watching him from the dark for far longer than he realized. By the time he sensed something was wrong, it was already too late. The shadows closed in, the tide pulled him under, and there was no easy way back out. Evelyn had always been there, close enough to feel familiar, close enough to feel safe. He never questioned it. He never thought he needed to. Once, he had naïvely believed that calling her his sister would be enough to keep certain lines from being crossed.

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT: R18] "I spent seventeen years as a shadow, only to wake up as the sun." In his first life, he was Shino. A flicker of a human being, a ghost in the hum of a digital world. He died in the cold, hollow silence of regret, a degenerate heart finally giving out under the weight of a life never truly lived. But death was not an ending; it was a forge. He awoke in the skin of a God. Ren Camry. Eighteen. A Titan of marble and shadow, cast into the glittering, serpent-filled halls of St. Jude’s Academy. In this new world, his breath is a command, and his presence is a storm that the elite cannot weather. Yet, this perfection is not free. It is a debt written in neon and blood. [The Sovereign System has initialized.] [Instruction: Claim the Throne.] [Warning: The System does not negotiate. It only consumes.] Guided by a cold, uncompromising mandate, Ren must navigate a playground of ivory towers and poisoned silk. From the Ice Queen who guards her heart like a fortress to the scholars who trade secrets for touch, every soul is a fragment to be gathered. Every "Tithe" paid is another step away from the boy who was nothing, and toward the King who will have everything. Shino is a memory. Ren is the Decree.
