‘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? Or 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?

Marry a grandma. In simple terms, that was the order I received. “…What did you say?” “Didn’t hear me? I said you need to sacrifice for the family.” Rage surged inside me and my vision flickered, but I forced myself to ask. “There’s an old hag. She’s looking for a groom to marry, and for the sake of the family, I’m being sold off to her. Is that the story?” “Exactly.” Man, I could barely hold back the curses itching to spill out. Not to mention my fists. “Well, it’s not so bad, right? Who knows, maybe she’ll pamper you like a pet, thinking she scored a young stud.” Crack! Oh, f*ck me. I couldn’t hold back. ************* Discord server https://discord.gg/GcsXh8XM6c 5 reviews = 2 extra chapters.. 10 golden tickets= 1 extra chapters .. 50 Powerstones = 2 extra chapters..

The demon beasts spent 1,000 years praying for the return of the sealed soul of their demon god, so he could save them from the wrath of the heavens and restore their glory. But when this demon god awakened from his seal, he casually declared: “Rebel against the heavens and lead a demon army to take over the world? Nah, that sounds like work. All I want to do now is rest. Officially retiring as the demon god!” ——— I died and woke up in a BL novel as the villainous demon god who died tragically. Well, obviously I’m not going to live through this stressful fate of being a demon god and dying. So I quit. I’m not going to get involved with this plot. I’m just going to be a salted fish and maybe find love in this land with hot men. [System notification: You can’t escape your fate without getting rid of the evil seeds you planted!] “Evil seeds I planted? What the fuck is that?” [The demon god created the 7 deadly sins in the world in the form of 5 ancient beast babies. And if they aren’t stopped, your tragic fate will reoccur!] Fuck. Now I’m left babysitting ancient beast babies who are somehow my babies. But that shouldn’t be too hard, right?! Baby Dragon: Gets angry and burns down the whole house. Baby Lion: Keeps making everyone an enemy. Baby Tiger: Steals everything available in the market. Baby Mermaid: Keeps making random strangers sleep with each other! Baby Cat: Sleeps all day while feeding on literally anything. "....." “Well, at least I have a supportive Phoenix husband to help me with the babies”—that would have been my thoughts if my husband wasn’t the same person this villainous demon god had tortured for years. The same man he had made his lab rat and slave! He probably wants me dead now. [System alert: The Phoenix is angry and might blow up in 10 hours! Coax him to prevent triggering your doom!] Huh? I also have to babysit my walking time-bomb Phoenix husband who wants to kill me every day?! ———— •Xianxia danmei x Beastworld •Married Couple •Older Master Shou x Younger Disciple Gong. •Fluff and Angst ©COVER NOT MINE

It's been over 300 years since every human, witch, wizard, hag, vampire, centaur, dwarf, and every other supernatural race residing on Earth suddenly found themselves on Floor Zero of the Tower. The population now sits just under 20 million, a sharp contrast to the original 8.2 billion. As a result, anyone under the age of sixteen is required to attend the Academy of Beginnings, a place designed to prepare them for the climb and uncover the mysteries of the Tower—why the System brought them here, and what lies at its peak. But with the highest known completed Floor being Floor 34… they still have a long way to go. Determined to honor his father and mother’s deaths and become the first human to reach the top of the Tower. Deacon Surtr Hayes stands on the cusp of graduating from the Academy of Beginnings, ready to claim his Tier 1 Class and ascend the Tower with his closest friends by his side. At least, that’s what should have happened. Waking up hours before receiving his first Class and finding out that not only was his father alive, but that he wasn’t even human, derailed everything Deacon thought he knew about his future and left him with many questions, the most prevalent being, “What the hell is a Jötunn?” Schedule: 3x a week (Sun, Tues, Thurs) What to expect: [+] Weak to Strong MC [+] Multiple Weapons & Magics [+] Various Mythologies [+] Tower [+] Grimdark [+] Antihero MC [+] Jötunn

To claim the crown, Aurelia must win the heart of the man who has never been hers—before the equinox steals everything.

In the middle of the One Year War (UC 0079), a Carry Base-derived Zeon support ship runs “special transport” missions that are supposed to be simple logistics. In practice, it is a moving fault line between military command, overworked maintenance crews, and the brutal realities of Minovsky interference, shrinking spare parts, and orders that grow morally gray with every week. At the ship’s core is a Haro, a small spherical body that awakens with a human mind inside it. To some, it is merely a tool for routing, comms discipline, and operational control. To others, it becomes the only presence that can turn chaos into decisions: which corridor to open for refugees, which cargo to prioritize when life support margins collapse, and how to save civilians without getting the crew executed for disobedience. As war tries to grind dignity into dust, Haro learns that a smile is not an escape. It is quiet resistance. "I will bring smiles into this war-torn world. Even if all I have is a metal shell and a failing signal, I will still find a way."

When a satellite photo of the Arctic was sent back to the countries, the people of the earth were shocked by the content of the photo. They saw thousands of wolves in the Arctic, which even included hundreds of polar bears and Arctic silver foxes, all uniformly looking obedient. On the top of the snowy mountain, a giant Arctic wolf, whose size exceeded everyone's imagination, was looking down on the Arctic ice field from a high position.

The Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor, Su Han, had once governed the holy realm and held sway for a whole century as the most powerful man of the entire galaxy! However, after his death from berserk Qi deviation due to merging different cultivation levels, his men mutinied, his lover fell into a deep sleep, and his best friend became a fugitive!

Ash opened his eyes to find that he had traveled to a strange nation of many races, and people were kneeling before him. Before he had time to adapt to the new identity of the Terminus Observer, he was put to jail – as a cult leader. In prison, controlled by a high-tech chip, he was unable to use violence. He also lost all his memories due to the time warp. How could he escape from the prison full of ogres, green-skinned beasts, sorcerers, and elves in this strange nation? And how could he survive the legendary Blood Moon Judgment? "Ding! You obtained a game system – Mage Manual! It includes an illusory world map, which can predict risks and gains, helping you find advantages and trouble, and greatly improve exploration efficiency!" "Ding! You obtained Deadly Berserker Sword Maiden! You can share all skills and upgrade together with her!" "Ding! You encountered an Illusory Vortex! Go straight through the heartland of the Illusory Realm and harvest a lot of experience to create the Silver Wing!" ... Is this the legendary system? It not only gives me free skills, but also a skillful fighter? Ash discovered that even though he was in the Otherworld, he could dominate his own destiny with the system, and even...dominate the entire Otherworld!

My arm ached where the needle pierced the vein. Already, my fingers were numb, spots spinning in front of my eyes. Something clattered onto the pavement. The needle. It must have slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace that I'd felt since...ever. But that was okay. It meant that there was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. Well, perhaps there would be a few, but they could always find others to extract their cruel, sadistic pleasure from. My last breath was rough and shallow, the last beat of my heart pitifully fail. I sank to the alley floor, eyes closing, welcoming the blessed nothingness of the end. Only...death was supposed to be dark, wasn't it? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY

In a vast world populated by humans, monsters, elves, demons, and gods, something awakens that should never have existed — an anomaly capable of devouring power itself. Jora is born into the darkness, greeted by blood and floating lights upon his conception. He gains consciousness to an unfamiliar setting, a lack of memories, and an inherent understanding of the world. With hidden attributes at his access, he's able to understand the world, and grow faster than any before with his [Intrinsic Skills]. For power is all he knows, and all he is truly familiar with — it is the only language he truly understands. Born with a Talent on the level of those that have been seen only a few times in history, with the awakening of this soul, how does the world change? How will it handle the emergence of an ancient demon species, known to overpower and break all limits?... Jora grows exponentially, reaching incredible heights in mere days. But there are always stronger fish. Despite having so much power at his disposal, he will understand that many others have had greater power, for far longer than he. How will he use what he has to grow invincible? How will he discover where exactly it is that he came from? How will he discover the identities of the gods above? And the identities of those that created him? How will he unintentionally become a god himself? How will he come to stand on par with these god figures? How will he stand beyond?... With the help of a lesser soul, he will come to understand... But of course the first step is to... Consume Everything... ... ... What to expect! > Power Fantasy, God Main Character, Cosmic Scale. From dungeon conquering, to world creation, to homeworld defense, to galactic conquest, universal rule, and then existential affairs. If you have read Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse, and Nurturing Humanity, you should enjoy this novel. > Overpowered halfhuman devourer story, with an in depth system of power. From mana, and the elements, to laws, and even beyond, all will be devoured and conquered, evolved to surpass. > The story is focused not just around the main character, but the immediate characters he affects. You see the consequences of his actions not just from his eyes, but those around him as well. > Although the main character is overpowered, things happen for a reason. There are many with power just like him, and he will face that reality on multiple occasions. He is not invincible, he is not the only cheat, but maybe taking all the cheats for himself would make him so?...

« MATURE CONTENT » One learns the hard way how wrong this line actually is: 'Brains over brawn.' It all started when Viktor Redwood slaughtered ten thousand soldiers, outwitted the legendary Emperor Leo and his five mythical-class heroines, and put a bullet through his head in front of those heroines—all achieved using sheer intelligence. But even with all that, he lost everything, got too lazy to even care about anything, and was cornered by absolute strength—all while his corrupted incubus race slowly awakened within him, warping his body with demonic features he could barely hide—leading him to decide to at least kill those heroines alongside himself in a boom. Only for him to regress back into his fat, powerless, and cursed body, starting again. This time, with the knowledge that his dormant bloodline will manifest again, transforming him piece by piece. The bad thing about all this? Now he's been thrown back to his worst day—the trial where his fiancée Elena—the one who put a blade to his heart just a moment ago—framed him. But even that didn't stop him from becoming the villain who made heroes bleed and heroines breed. Unlike last time, when he had thwarted her plans, this time he chose to exile himself to prepare an army of his children and wives. Viktor's got the 100x Ability Rebate System: enter powerful women, steal their abilities, multiply them by 100, and return them in bundles when they become mothers with a ratio of 100% to wives and 50% to children. And with a corrupted bloodline that changes his human self to Incubus as he use system—he will get to have a new identity as Householder Incubus. However, this time, the issue is a small twist—where, even with such an overpowered skill, he has been thrown into a wasteland with his loyal mid-thirties nanny, Helena. Will a weak baron with a cursed bloodline slowly transforming his body be able to create his own army and become the Emperor? « What to Expect: => Lots of Lemons (Babies aren't going to pop from the sky, right?) => Fatherhood Journey (A young man to a father of an army of babies, funny x100) => Transformation from Lust to Responsibilities (Responsible Lust, TADA!) => Kingdom Building + Cute, smart children running the kingdom while parents are on vacation. (Vacation to add more babies to the collection to run the kingdom) => Children Handling Kingdoms (Rest assured, babies will be smart and proficient in all subjects you all failed.) => Teaching Lessons to Heroines Who Dared to Touch the MC (Not forgiveness but punishment by giving heroines' brothers and sisters.)

—Become my seed and reshape the time— It was a tempting request and a deal that made her abandon her former human identity as well as ten aeons worth of divinity and wisdom she acquired after her death. Coming from the lips of a mysterious entity, she strangely chose a second chance at life over everything. Why? One might ask. To not regret things this time. To live a life controlled by her own will. To see if the new world would accept her. There were many reasons. But let us call it boredom of the idea of remaining a prisoner of time for more aeons to come. —Power. I’ll bestow upon you enough power for what is to come in addition to an essential second chance at life— And thus, she was reborn. Not as a human. Not as a divine being either. It was something far more liberated and noble. Something full of power and wisdom. A Dragon. Not just any dragon, but a Golden Archdragon; a formidable being in the vast universe. She gained a new name, new family, new world…and a new life she never thought of having even in her dreams. Reborn anew, she embraced her new identity as a dragon. That was “Kyriaki” Will she navigate through time as she wishes, not regretting her choices in this second chance at life? This is her guidance through “Time”.

I've been sick ever since I can remember. My dad's a drunk prick, and he doesn't treat my mom very well. My girlfriend cheated on me with my best friend, because she figures I'm going to die soon anyways. They all do. Hell, they're probably right. I've been to countless doctors, and they can't figure out what is wrong with me aside from the fact that my body is slowly shutting down. I don't have any friends anymore. My dad doesn't allow me home anymore, and apparently, I'm not even their real son. That was a real kick in the teeth. Only my mom tries to talk to me still, but there's always hell to pay if my dad catches her. At this point, I've accepted my end, and I wish it would just hurry up. At least, that's what I told myself, until I came across a new fuzzy little friend that would change my entire life. My name is Elias Crosse, and my tale is about get crazy. Notes: This story features an OP MC, so power development and growth isn't really present for him, although there is some. A lot of the growth mainly comes from other characters, and features a focus on said characters. Elias is also not someone who puts up with other character's bullshit, and routinely puts them in their place. I am tired of the trope of characters hiding their powers, or letting other characters walk all over them and theirs because they are not strong enough fo do anything. So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you Elias Crosse. I don't exactly know how to describe my story in terms of a genre. It has action, it has slice of life, and it has romance. There is no fade to black, and I can be very descriptive. I have been fixing, updating, and changing somethings for consistency, to improve the story, the grammar and errors, and for things to make more sense. The more I write, the better I feel I am becoming. I just write, and I have the ideas of where I am going in my head, but other than that, I just write the story as I see fit. As such, I forget some things, I miss somethings, and most often, some ideas in my head get jumbled together and it ends up not making sense some times. I am working to correct that as best as I can.

"Beneath the glittering facade of the modern world, places where Yin energy gathers are often gateways to the 'Netherworld.'

Driving a beat-up taxi, he shuttles between the realms of the living and the dead to scrape by, only to gradually uncover a conspiracy of earth-shattering proportions."

[WAKE UP. REPAIR. KILL. EVOLVE.] Marcus died as a human and woke up as scrap. Trapped in a rusted droid body with only 1% battery remaining, he finds himself at the bottom of the food chain in the Endless Scrapyard. Here, mercy is a glitch, and other bots are just walking spare parts waiting to be harvested. But Marcus has something the others don't: **The System.** He can rip the laser cannon off a fallen enemy and weld it to his arm. He can integrate the armor of a tank into his skin. He can consume the cores of his rivals to upgrade his own processing power. In a world ruled by Mega-Corporations and War AIs, being "just a machine" is a death sentence. To survive, he must become a monster. From a legless cripple to a Steel God of War. They call him junk. He calls himself the Future. *** **--- AUTHOR'S NOTE ---** This story is currently being posted on **Royal Road** and is significantly ahead of the updates here.
