nonhuman

Life is dark and meaningless. That was what it had taught every single day I'd been cursed to live it. And now, finally, it was coming to an end. 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?

Adrian Cole was having a perfectly normal bad day. His job was draining, his rent was due, and the only thing he inherited from a distant relative was a cheap storage unit filled with junk. Or so he thought. Hidden inside was something impossible - an ancient stone archway that should not exist. When Adrian touches it, the door doesn't open. It fuses with him. Moments later, he finds himself standing in a vast and dangerous world called Eryndor, where monsters roam ancient forests and magic saturates the air itself. But Adrian didn't just arrive. Something inside him changed. A strange core now beats within his chest - a living structure that absorbs magic, adapts, and grows stronger with every battle. Fire spells become fuel. Monster attacks become power. Even the very mana of the world bends and reshapes itself inside him. The problem? Adrian isn't a hero. He's a sarcastic office worker who just wanted to pay rent. Now monsters hesitate when he walks by. Ancient forces begin to notice him. And the world may have just awakened something far older than magic itself. Something primordial. And unfortunately for everyone involved... it has a very dry sense of humor.

After being reborn ten years ago, Yan Yuchen accidentally swallowed the golden core that a nine-tailed fox had cultivated for thousands of years. From then on, his soul could leave his body, see ghosts, kill people in their dreams, and travel through the world of immortality. =========== Translation Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to this novel.

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 to do anything. 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. This is also a HAREM story. If you don't like that kind of thing, you will not upset me by not reading it. I'd prefer you didn't, honestly. 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. Some things may change, as this is a work in progress. 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.

Zhongli (putting down the book): "From a logical point of view, the story is quite intriguing. Perhaps we can... explore it in more depth?"

"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

‘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?

Chains of galactic slavery, a massive corporate conspiracy, and the unyielding spirit of a man who refuses to bow down! * Genre: Sci-Fi, Space Opera, Action-Adventure, Progression Fantasy * Themes: Corporate Conspiracy, Family Redemption, Revenge, Genetic Evolution (A.Z Genes) 1. Backstory & Worldbuilding Centuries ago, a massive galactic syndicate descended upon Earth. Humanity initially believed it was a peaceful bridge to the stars, but it was a calculated trap. The 'Black Emerald Army'—a mercenary force—conquered Earth and sold the entire planet to the amphibious 'Blue Eye' species for 3.2 billion Tox (galactic currency). Humans were scattered across deep space and auctioned off as slaves. 2. Inciting Incident The protagonist, Yuta (19), belongs to a specialized human lineage capable of rapidly adapting physically to harsh environments. Yuta worked at a branch of a high-risk share-trading firm, where he was appointed "CEO" in title only to serve as a corporate scapegoat. When the firm's fraudulent stocks crashed, the local government enforced the law of Collective Punishment. Yuta, his mother, and his older sister Pihu (whose dream of becoming an elite Galactic Officer was shattered) were all arrested. Slapped with an astronomical 1 million Tox debt plus buyout fees, they were condemned to debt-slavery. 3. Planet Noon & The Dual Struggle The family was transferred to Planet Noon—a fractured artificial prison world where inmates wear explosive neck collars and magnetic cuffs. To clear their debt: * Yuta's mother and sister chose Agriculture, cultivating crops through spiritual 'Soul Energy' and genetic resonance links. * Yuta took on a lethal double workload: assisting on the farm by day and pulling grueling 12-hour shifts in the Mines by night. 4. The Major Twist: The Abyss & The Legacy On his very first shift, Yuta struck a rare Golden Ruby crystal worth 10,000 Tox. His fortune attracted 'Big Bro' Jonathan, a brutal half-giant who ambushed him. During a tunnel explosion chaos, both plummeted into a bottomless subterranean chasm (Abyss). Landing on an isolated ledge, Yuta discovered the corpse of 'Mora'—a senior researcher from M.O.L. (a ruthless bio-gene megacorporation). A final video log revealed the galaxy's ultimate secret: > A.Z Genes Medicine: An ultra-rare genetic fluid that unlocks the absolute peak evolutionary state of any species. It enables dual-elemental abilities (e.g., combining Fire and Water) and unleashes limitless soul energy. Its market value ranges from 1 Billion to 100 Billion Tox! > The researcher had hidden the fluid inside the grave of an officer named Ronaljes in the colony's Death Garden. Yuta retrieved the compressed micro-chip key and was subsequently rescued by prison guards. 5. Current Conflict & The Road Ahead Back on the surface, Yuta used his mining profits to upgrade his family's farm and secure their survival. * The Strategy: Human bodies and souls reach full biological awakening at age 20. Yuta is counting down the days to his 20th birthday so he can safely inject the A.Z Gene Fluid without risking fatal biological overload. * The Goal: Harness the god-like power of the A.Z Fluid, wipe out his family's debt, shatter the chains of galactic slavery, and systematically dismantle the corrupt corporation that destroyed his life.

Xin Huohuo is very unlucky; she accidentally brought home two freeloaders, and they're even seriously picky eaters. What's the use of being handsome! Can you pay with your face? Can you use it for mobile pay? What's more, she also attracted a sinister character, along with a long trail of ghosts. A black-bellied, money-loving girl + a goofy, violent guy + a stone-faced, sharp-tongued guy; the shady dealings of these three rascals. Eighth Lord: (Mysteriously) "Life and death are all gifts from life itself..." Seventh Lord: (Impatiently) "What does that mean? I don't understand plain talk!" A certain Lord: (With a deadpan face) "Everyone, go to hell! Hmm, the girl stays." Xin Huohuo: (About to cry) "This is the ultimate meaning of 'the early worm gets eaten by the bird'!"
