"Power is not a measure of energy. It is a measure of how much of the universe you are dragging behind you." Eila used to be a god. Now, he is just a rotting corpse with a sword. He was the Kingdom's absolute shield. But when the elites murdered his sister to leash him to their throne, Eila didn't kneel. He shattered the timeline and nearly erased their empire from reality. The cost of his revenge was absolute. Stripped of his mana and rotting from a cosmic affliction known as Paradox Debt, Eila has been discarded into the mud of a sterile, war-torn world. He is a walking casualty, thrown into the meat grinder of the Vanguard's trenches. But a broken god is still a god. Armed with nothing but a suicidal battle IQ and a desperate rebellion at his back, Eila is going to dismantle the empire piece by bloody piece. He doesn't need magic to butcher his enemies; he just needs to survive long enough for his true power to return. However, as Eila bleeds for every inch of ground, his mind is beginning to fracture alongside the timeline. And the unseen hands that wind the clock of the universe are starting to notice the broken gears... The Era of Mana is dead.

Once a man betrayed, Andy shut down his heart and became more machine than human—a perfect being, efficient, emotionless. Years of trust lost turned him into a robot in body and soul, a mind wired for logic, untouched by warmth, love, or laughter. Everything changes the moment he meets Eilen, a woman equally guarded, walls built high around her own heart. Slowly, through her persistence, kindness, and the chaotic energy of five remarkable girls, Andy begins to feel again—the small sparks of humanity returning one by one. “Heartwired” is the story of rebirth: a journey from mechanical precision to emotional depth, from isolation to connection, as Andy learns to embrace love, trust, and family. Every laugh, every tear, every chaotic breakfast becomes a step toward being truly alive. But will the scars of betrayal allow him to fully open his heart, or will he remain half-robot forever? A tale of healing, transformation, and the fragile power of human emotion, where one man’s rebirth changes not only himself, but everyone around him.

Rei Nishimura only wanted to live an ordinary life except he was brought into the world upon realising his dream of being a sorcerer has a lot of things to understand and to deal with especially when everything is ruthless and cruel in contrast of what he had expected.

#WSA2026 Light?It was always something we depended on to see within the world but that has changed. What is one supposed to do when the world is engulfed by darkness? Giving us no choice but to adapt to the world we once knew. People turn into monsters, light ceases to exist, and yet I'm left here with no idea on how to move forward. I'll never forget the woman who gave me that direction to follow. A woman with beautiful long white hair, shining brightly under the moon is all I can remember. "Rise above them all. Become the strongest and you'll never have to fear the dark." her voice echoes. I'll become the strongest... If that's what it takes to survive this hell. cover by: DarkZ2 join the server https://discord.gg/KSRRq597Hp

For years, Akar knew only the cage, the whip, and the blood-soaked sand of the arena. He thought freedom meant merely surviving the next fight. He was dead wrong. Raised as livestock in a brutal gladiatorial pit, Akar is not a monster by birth, but a human bearing a terrifying curse. Fueled by pure rage and an unnatural regeneration that violently refuses to let him die, he is a weapon forged by cruelty. He knows nothing of the world beyond his iron bars. When the chance to break his chains finally arrives, he doesn't just escape—he slaughters his way out into the dark, unforgiving forest. But the world outside is vastly more dangerous than the arena he left behind. Thrust into a reality he doesn't understand, Akar is relentlessly hunted by his vengeful former masters. He is no hero, and he has no grand destiny. He is simply a cursed man carving his path through a world that wants him broken. The world tried to make him a monster. Now, it will hear his Black Song. What to Expect: - Grimdark & Brutal Action: Visceral, bloody, and realistic combat where every mistake costs flesh. - Cursed MC: A human protagonist burdened by a violent, unnatural regeneration, learning how the real world works. - No Plot Armor: Actions have permanent, devastating consequences. - Survival & Hunt: A raw, desperate struggle to stay free against overwhelming odds. - Slow-burn Worldbuilding: Uncovering a dark, unforgiving world through the eyes of someone who grew up in a cage.

In a world ruled by elemental power, a boy is born with a forbidden vein that should not exist.

“There’s nothing to hide anymore..” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gray fur, silver streak, golden and icy blue eyes. Ash Stormclaw is the runt no one believes in… except himself. Alone, hunter and unsure who to trust, every step could be his last. After losing his own little sister in the middle of a battle between two packs, he had lost her. Or did he? Can he get his sister back—or will the wilderness swallow him whole?

Every urban legend in the world is real. Every legend is wrong. And the wrong story is still killing people today. Gu Cun was fifteen when he walked through the Time Gate with 200,000 others. They believed they were saving humanity. They died thinking they succeeded. He is the only one who knows they didn't. Now he is back in 2026 — carrying 666 years of future memory in his bones, a worn leather bag on his shoulder, and a handwritten list of 666 names he cannot put down. The water ghost in Sichuan is not hunting replacements. It is a father who dropped his daughter's photograph in the dark. The hanged woman in Aokigahara is not murderous. She is trying to make someone hear the sound she made when she died. La Llorona. The Pontianak. The Bell Witch. The churel. The white lady. The Bunyip. Every wrong legend feeds the ghost. Every wrong telling guarantees the next death. One chapter. One country. One legend. One name crossed off the list. And every crossing costs him something — not power, not cultivation levels, but pieces of himself. The reader watches him disappear while becoming stronger. He does not explain himself. He does not stay long enough to be thanked. He simply gives the dead their real names back. 666 names. 666 chances. One boy who refuses to let humanity die for nothing.

In a world where the chosen bear Divine Scars glowing outlines channeling infinite power leaked by Singular Beings humans forge abilities from that endless divine energy. One outline: Lightlinger. Two: Lightrozer. Their strength is bound to one or two domains, dictated by which Divine's energy flows through their scar. However, some only have an outline, with no scar. But the world is never fair. Those not chosen, driven by envy, turn to a darker path. They become Darkens killing and absorbing finite souls through cursed artifacts called Ghost Vaults. Unlike the limited Lights, Darkens craft unpredictable, often fatal abilities from stolen life essence. Souls are finite, and the hunt never ends. The vastness of existence holds boredom in some corners… and alongside it, curiosity guiding everything. Age of Layers dives into the hearts of broken souls where guilt never fades, promises warp lives, and fragile bonds are the only defiance against an indifferent cosmos. It asks one question: What are humans? Discord: https://discord.gg/3jUR673eXW

Amber died once. At least… that's what the world believes. Now living under the name Wolfe, she begins again as a rookie trainer in Johto while hiding a dangerous secret: she is an undercover operative working against the very criminal organization that nearly destroyed her life. But starting over isn't as simple as taking a new name. Every battle tests her control. Every friendship threatens her cover. Every mission drags her closer to the past she tried to escape. As Wolfe struggles to rebuild herself, she begins to learn a painful truth: Survival is easy. Living is harder. And when the war she thought she escaped begins closing in again, she must decide whether she is still Amber… Or if Wolfe is the person she was always meant to become. A dark character-driven journey about identity, survival, loyalty, and what it means to choose who you become.

After a devastating crash that should have ended his life, Pondaru Yamada wakes up in a body that isn’t fully his own—an unnervingly perfect shell branded with the mark of Project N4O-CHI, a blacksite program that erases humans and rebuilds them as living pleasure dolls. But Pondaru isn’t like the others. He bleeds. He hurts. He remembers things automaton like him shouldn't be capable of. Stripped of his old world, Pondaru finds himself in a decayed cyberpunk underworld where neon lights hide cruelty, androids are discarded like broken toys, and survival often means losing the last pieces of your humanity. Torn between the twisted kindness of a group of mercenary misfits and the looming shadow of the corporation that made him, Pondaru must navigate a world of lust, violence, and identity crisis—where every choice brings him closer to either reclaiming who he is, or becoming the product he was designed to be. In a city that devours the weak and worships desire, a place where compromise does not exist, one thought haunts him above all: If I bleed… then I must still be real…Right?

200 years after a mysterious force awakens the hidden powers of humanity, a strict regime has taken the entire world into its palm. No one knows of the abilities within themselves, no one knows how false their world truly is, except for the rebels. Through years of being hunted down and hushed, these secret rebel groups have passed the truth down through generations of tortured souls. Hendrix was raised by two of those rebels, after they found him on the street, a bloodied and bruised boy. They took him in, along with four other children, orphaned by the very regime that told them to keep in line. After his guardians reveal the true nature of this confusing world, Hendrix has decided on one goal: Break this world down, and build anew. Chapters Daily at 10 AM EST

Well met travelers! Come, take a seat by the fire and join me and our protagonist onto a journey of ascension, while trying to not lose sight of what it means to be human... From a bum, who stumbled through life, into a panentheistic god wannabe. Starting from a typical trope of a guy who happens to enjoy novels and other cultured works and gets yeeted into another world. But unlike other transmigrators who, after transmigration, often finds drive, purpose, power and hot babes, our "hero", after he realised that his quirk is less than worthless, manages to remain a bum(bad idea) and try to rely on luck for survival of the plot(not gonna happen). Unfortunately for him(fortunately for us) the world or maybe fate(or me) won’t allow that! If you a bum then there are consequences! You need to grow or suffer loss (or trauma)! Otherwise you will bring shame upon the name of all the legendary transmigrators! Main worlds : "My Hero Academia" and "Shadow Slave" Quirk: [Tie those damn shoelaces!] → [??????????] (No Spoilers!) If you open this novel, expect cringe masquerading as comedy, foreshadowing with a subtlety of a sledgehammer and maybe even boredom…- with an unhealthy dose of regret. Warning 1: This is my first fan-fic… or any "literary" work written altogether since ever, so I seriously expect things to be bad like…- all around(Plot, spacing, characters, dialogs, editing, release schedule) and as such I do appreciate any form of feedback/criticism. Also English is not my first language, so my grammar is also probably gonna be bad. I will try to edit things as I go. One of my main goals while writing this, is to improve my writing abilities, so I want to avoid using AI as much as possible. That will inevitably slow down the chapter release rate, which may turn really frustrating considering that I think the story progress will be extremely slow. Warning 2: I am aware that readers tend to judge fan-fic MC’s in specific ways. We expect the protagonist to be likable, cool or at least entertaining, which is completely fair. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to write a likable MC yet(or maybe ever) Warning 3: This novel has(or will have) content that some people may find disturbing. You may see, descriptions or mentions of: blood, gore, dismemberment, torture, slavery, kidnapping, abuse, child abuse, drug abuse, sexual abuse, sexual assault, self-harm, suicide, cannibalism, infanticide and miscarriage among other things. Reader discretion is advised. Warning 4: This work might contain certain "opinions" and "comments" about different beliefs, ideologies and religions found in real life. In case it does end up offending someone, please remember that these "opinions" do not represent the author's(mine's) actual worldview and are merely a portrayal of this fan-fiction's fictional character's way of "thinking". Warning 5: I have no idea what I’m doing. Disclaimer: This is a fanfiction and as such I don’t own the rights for any characters, media or worldbuilding found or mentioned in this work, except my OC’s.

Thank you. ENJOY! (hopefully reading this won’t damage your brains)

"After my death, I got isekai'd in a world of devils, angels and monsters lol.. Oh, and apparently I have ice powers which are totally useless in combat since I died again. Luckily, I'm alive thanks to a redhead with big tits making me her slave." I do not own this cover so don't sue me.

He's lived alone as long as he's worked — working jobs that exploit. His name is Seazon, but he's always been known as Sea. A half-arsed name for a half-arsed guy. Working to survive and surviving for no one. Then a book, left by the previous tenants, finds its way around his flat. When he reads the first page, instead of his own internal monologue, he hears someone else trying to reach out. He has a neighbour, Lucas — gentle, awkward, infuriatingly kind yet secretive — that refuses to leave him alone.

Shiba Takumi, a 17-year-old outcast in the quiet castle town of Matsumoto, has spent years pouring his pain into underground rap, only to be met with silence, ridicule, and crushing rejection. Labeled a delinquent after violently defending himself from relentless middle-school bullying, he’s been abandoned by a family that views him as a shame and ignored by a society that discards anyone who doesn’t conform. When his raw plea for a collaboration is brutally dismissed by popular idol Suzuki Aika, Takumi channels the humiliation into a diss track that unexpectedly goes viral, finally giving him the attention he’s craved — but at the cost of burning bridges he didn’t know he still needed.

Can this boy live his life with meaning despite the hardships he faces?
