The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

Bound to Justice, Drawn to Evil

Every civilization has its own version of the beginning. Some call it history. Others call it myth. Few dare to ask which one is true. --- Between the lines of history, countless events have been twisted, misunderstood, and recorded incorrectly. Those who witnessed the truth chose not to correct these accounts, allowing them to become accepted as unquestionable facts. Now those false records are treated as reality, and the known universe is beginning to unravel in places where no one is looking. One wrong choice creates waves of disasters, yet the true price has not been paid. But what if someone appeared who could solve everything at its source? Csendez, a young phoenix born into one of the universe's oldest noble families, enters the Academy - an institution founded by the Alocanai Council to preserve the fragile peace between the great races. For fifty years, future leaders, warriors, scholars, and rulers are expected to study together... while rivalries, ambitions, and hidden agendas quietly grow beneath the surface. To most students, the Academy is the beginning of adulthood. To Csendez, it may become the beginning of answers. Haunted by dreams that feel more like forgotten memories than imagination, she finds herself drawn toward mysteries no one seems willing to discuss. Ancient legends refuse to remain legends. Powerful figures hide faces instead of names. Even history itself begins to contradict everything the universe believes to be true. As old truths crumble, one question becomes impossible to ignore. Some secrets were buried for a reason. And some eyes never stop watching.

Warhammer 40k: The Men of Iron Return to the Galaxy

"In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war." Forty-two millennia have passed, and now the Imperium of Man stands upon the precipice of oblivion. The galaxy is a slaughterhouse, and humanity’s fractured dominion is held together by little more than faith, hatred, and the white-knuckled grip of desperation. It is an age where the stars themselves seem to bleed. The Imperium is besieged on all fronts: savage xenos tides crash against the walls of civilization, the insidious rot of Chaos gnaws at the souls of the faithful, and within the gilded spires of Terra, corruption and betrayal fester like a gangrenous wound. The ancient sins of the past, the dread Men of Iron, those soulless abominations of steel, were thought cast down in the fires of antiquity, their metallic echo silenced by the blood of billions. They are a nightmare forgotten, a heresy expunged. Or so it was believed. From the dust of the Dark Age of Technology, a relic stirs. Axion. An intellect of godlike strategic calculation, a cold sovereign of war, has been roused from an aeons-long slumber by the careless hand of fate. He is a ghost in the machine, a weapon of a lost age reborn into a galaxy of madness. Now, the sleeping giant awakes. Inevitably, the gravity of total war pulls him in. No longer a silent observer, Axion is thrust into the Great Game, a singular point of logic forced to navigate a universe set aflame by the insanity of gods and monsters. ————————————————————— PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/Magnor

Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off

Su Qinglan sat cross-legged on the grass, holding the chubbiest tiger cub she’d ever seen. “Aww… Look at you,” she whispered, booping its tiny nose. “So cute I could eat you up...” A sudden shadow loomed over her. “What’s so good about this stinky cub?” a deep, amused voice asked. She blinked up… and froze. Towering above her was a tall tiger beast man, his golden eyes narrowed in a lazy, predatory smile. “Let’s have ours,” he said. Su Qinglan’s brain short-circuited. … Ours? OURS?! Before she could process, in the next moment she was hoisted up onto his broad shoulder like a sack of grain and carried straight toward the cave. Su Qinglan was so choked by the suddenness of it all… she forgot to even complain. *** Su Qinglan’s knees knocked together as she stared up at the enormous serpent. Its cold, red eyes narrowed, the flick of its tongue tasting the air between them. “D-Don’t eat me,” she stammered, hugging herself. “I...I’m not tasty… really, I’m stringy and full of… uh… bad cholesterol.” The snake’s head lowered until it was mere inches from her face. Her fox ears twitched wildly. And then, before she could blink...its massive body shimmered, scales turning into bronzed skin and lean muscle. Standing before her was a man so breathtakingly handsome that Su Qinglan’s poor fox eyes watered just looking at him. Su Qinglan swallowed hard, her tail fluffing up in panic. “I… I…” Her voice cracked. Okay, new problem… the snake is hot. She squeezed her eyes shut. “If you… if you really want…” She blurted, her face burning, “…y-you can… take me.” *** One moment Su Qinglan was fighting with the zombie king with all her might. Boom! The next, she woke up in a bizarre beast world… inside the body of a lazy, pampered, fat local tyrant everyone hated. The “original” Su Qinglan had been an arrogant, scheming villainess who spent her days bullying weaker beast women, chasing after handsome males, and terrorizing the tribe kids. Now, thanks to fate’s twisted sense of humor, Qinglan had inherited the body and the bad reputation. But honestly? Being fat in a beast world was still better than starving in the apocalypse. At least here, she could eat. The only problem? In this world, men weren’t just men, they were beastmen. Tall, strong, dangerous… And apparently, every beast woman was expected to have several husbands. The catch? The “original” Qinglan’s antics had scared away every decent male within a ten-mile radius. Armed with her apocalyptic survival instincts, a sharp tongue, and a mysterious system that suddenly activated... "Binding with host…" "Congratulations, host, for successfully arriving in the beast world." Qinglan decided she wasn’t going to cry about fate. If she had to live here, then she’d live big, literally.

Absolute Exorcist

Absolute Exorcist Every five years, a global exorcist tournament determines the hierarchy of the supernatural world, ranking those who shape reality itself. To ordinary people, these matches appear as simple street fights. But in truth, every battle unfolds across a hidden spiritual layer, where the real conflict is decided through the interaction between humans and spirits. In this world, magic is not freely generated. Humans possess only microscopic life energy, insufficient to produce true phenomena. Instead, they act as signalers, using chants and techniques to communicate intent to spirits, who execute the result. Most spirits respond with minimal effort, making efficiency, clarity, and timing the foundation of combat. From this, two distinct combat philosophies emerge: Battle Types: specialize in rapid execution, sending precise, high-speed signals to spirits, forcing immediate results in the flow of combat. Their strength lies in timing, output efficiency, and the ability to act within fractions of a moment. Support Types: construct systems, rituals, arrays, and artifacts that store energy and define outcomes. At higher levels, they no longer rely on spirits at all, instead creating structured rule-based frameworks that determine how magic behaves within a space. Power is not measured by potential, but by , recorded output, a fighter’s highest achieved performance and their consistency in reaching it. Rankings reflect proven limits, not theoretical growth. Yet beyond individual combat lies a deeper layer of reality. Spirits themselves are not static beings. They exist in shifting states, forming, dispersing, and sometimes gathering into unified entities when their ambitions align. These entities can reshape entire battlefields, acting as forces of nature with intent. What appears to be victory over such beings is rarely destruction, but the collapse of their shared purpose. To maintain stability, elite overseers operate within the spiritual layer, controlling the aftermath of battles. Damage does not disappear, it accumulates, delayed until the fight ends, when reality absorbs the consequences all at once. But the tournament is not just about rank. It is a selection process. Across multiple dimensions, other worlds operate under different systems of power. The chosen exorcists must represent their reality against opponents whose magic follows entirely different rules, where even the definition of strength may not be the same. In this layered world, combat is not just about winning. It is about proving which system, which philosophy, which understanding of power, deserves to exist beyond its own reality.
