After a ferocious and bloody battle in the depths of a nightmare, many different egos and personalities are stuffed into one being who's left with only one directive: to hunt. Nebulous and unknowable beings have placed a great amount of importance on the creature, for it could bring about the revival of a primordial monster, or the birth of a new god. However, it must first brave a new world. A world where the entire structure of society has been flipped upside down with the spreading of a "Nightmare Spell." Facing memories of it's past lives, unknown worlds and beasts, and worst of all the ever-present madness that constantly threatens to push the creature into the depths of insanity, the creature must walk the line between the divine and profane. All while uncovering the mysteries behind its creation and the worlds around it.

Hi! My name is [Redacted], but most people just call me Focaccia Bread — or Foca. I’m writing this mostly for fun, but also to share my stories, my questionable life choices, and the music that somehow came out of them. Come along for the ride as I recount how I accidentally built a successful entertainment company and somehow helped create actual music legends. Fair warning: I do not tell stories in order. My brain jumps timelines like a fever dream, so expect chaos, time skips, and zero apologies. I’m weird. I’m quirky. I embrace it with both arms and half a bagel. I know — I’m cringe. But at least I’m free. XD If you wanna listen to the Jams (Music) appearing here, you can go listen to them in YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@FocacciaBread-Music) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/artist/0ecDiwv85yqoktTR4h569L?si=CHJzNohaTwiTgukcKickMQ) and other streaming platforms.

A failed writer dies with regrets and wakes up inside the world of his own novel. At first, his new life seems ordinary and uneventful. Everything changes when he unlocks the Akashic Grimoire of Creation: Atum. This plain-looking notebook holds an impossible power. Anything he writes can become reality, whether it exists only as a concept, a myth, or something beyond imagination. With the ultimate tool of creation in his hands, he must change fate, avoid the death flags he once designed, and protect his new family from the chaos that is destined to arrive. However, the world he created is far more dangerous than he ever expected.

I am Jina... Ever since I was a kid I wrote many short things... yet there was a novel I wrote as a teenager it was a cringe action novel full of clichés... I never became a writer... I failed and became an average office worker.... but... my book merged with reality... making me meet my original characters.... can I survive? can I help people evade their death? am I strong enough? I can never answer these questions unless I actually engage with the story...

I own the MC and nothing else not even pictures. Annabeth was bullied all through high school and neglected by her family, granted the World Copy System as she read fanfics with systems to know traveling to different worlds as she can return to hers with technology discoveries to stand at the top of the world. The Worlds are random of tv shows, movies, anime, video games, and manga as she automatically stands at the top of any world as she copies the best. MC is Futa and OP.

[Naruto] Time Travel: Starting with Hashirama's Cells Betraying the Leaf: Sasuke's Path to Godhood The Otsutsuki God, Shibai, descended. And the Shinobi World was erased. No amount of willpower, friendship, or Jutsu mattered. Sasuke Uchiha watched his wife, his daughter, his only true friend, and his disciples get slaughtered like insects. In his dying breath, sacrificing a Mangekyou Sharingan for Izanagi, and with the final desperate help of Orochimaru, he rewrote the timeline. Drip. Drip. Sasuke opened his eyes. Cold rain battered his face. He was standing at the Valley of the End. Across from him was a young Naruto Uzumaki, shouting about bonds and bringing him back to the Hidden Leaf. A blood-red Mangekyou spun in the moonlight. This time, Sasuke didn't feel rage or petty rivalry. He only felt the cold, calculating weight of the apocalypse to come. To hell with playing ninja games. To hell with the hypocritical will of fire. If a mortal body cannot kill a god... then I will become a monster that even gods fear. Abandoning the original timeline's foolish path, Sasuke embraces Orochimaru's forbidden research. Fusing the pinnacle of Uchiha ocular power with Senju Hashirama's cells, he begins his ruthless evolution. From Wood Release to the Rinnegan. From a rogue ninja to a true Otsutsuki. But is becoming an Otsutsuki enough to stop Shibai? No. He will have to devour them all. [What to Expect] Ruthless MC: Pragmatic, cold, and utterly unforgiving. No "Talk no Jutsu." Extreme Evolution: Scientific ninja tools + Bloodline fusion. Watch Sasuke hack the genetic code of the Shinobi world. Fast-paced Action: Curbstomping original timeline threats with future knowledge and absolute power. Dark Progression: Walking the path of a supreme deity, sacrificing whatever it takes to save the future.

Zenon is a young man from Spezia, a high school student living a cold, routine life. He doesn't care much for the people around him, doesn't believe in much of anything, and faces the world with a dry, distant logic. One day, he joins his classmates on a school trip to the Amazon — a forbidden region, off-limits because of old, dangerous scientific experiments buried there. What should have been nothing more than a field trip turns into a catastrophe. Violence erupts, senseless and unexplained, and Zenon finds himself alone in the heart of the jungle, surrounded by death and secrets. To survive, he'll have to rely on nothing but himself — make brutal choices, and uncover a dark side of himself he never knew existed. A side tied to a power he doesn't understand, one that comes with a heavy price. Between a jungle hiding horrors no one was meant to find, and organizations watching everything from the shadows, Zenon begins a journey he will not walk out of the same person who walked in. Darkside A story about survival — and the price a person pays just to stay alive. **Things to Expect in Darkside:** - Dark, psychological atmosphere - A cold, emotionally detached protagonist - High-tension survival situations - Graphic violence and death - Slow character development centered on the protagonist's mindset - A mysterious power system with a clear, tangible cost - Twists and hidden truths that unfold gradually - A serious, mature tone (Seinen-style) - A blend of psychological tension and action - Themes of emptiness, humanity, and the price of survival **What you won't find much of (at least early on):** - Light comedy - Heavy romance - An overpowered protagonist from the start - A simple good-vs-evil narrative --- Posting schedule: ! 4 chapters/week while trending in Rising Stars ! 2 chapters/week afterward ! 5 chapters on release day !

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

When Rosalind follows her father to a grand banquet in the kingdom of Eryndor, she expects nothing but humiliation as her father intends to pawn her off to settle his gambling debts. Rosalind is fiercely unwilling to be controlled and is definitely unprepared for the attention of King Alaric, the kingdom’s feared tyrant whose dangerous charm and ruthless reputation make the bravest men tremble and women weak in their knees. Intrigued by her defiance, Alaric claims Rosalind as his own, and suddenly she is trapped in his castle, under the scrutiny of his watchful eyes, sinful tongue, and burning touch. Desperate to escape, she discovers a secret ally in a mysterious servant, one whose true identity shocks her and forces her to question everything she thought was real, with the fact that her father hadn't been in debt at all but had handed her to the malicious king with evil intentions. Rosalind finds herself caught between two men: the controlling, prideful king who desires her completely, and the enigmatic servant who sees her as more than a prize. In a palace where deception is law and freedom is impossible, can Rosalind survive and who will truly claim her heart?

Before time, before matter, there was the Absolute Being—an existence born from nothing and cast into an endless void. That void, stretched infinitely in every direction, offering no sound, no light, or any change. Eternity passed in silence, and isolation became the Being’s only companion. To escape the crushing stillness, the Absolute Being began to create. From that emptiness, emerged countless worlds—each shaped by different laws, each seeded with entities and lifeforms of staggering variety. To these creations, the Being granted power—forces that allowed them to build civilizations, wage wars, forge peace, and govern the fragile balance of their worlds. Some used their gifts to protect existence, while others sought domination or annihilation. Entire histories unfolded beneath the Being’s distant gaze. All of it served a single purpose: entertainment. The struggles, triumphs, and tragedies of mortals filled "a" Void with motion and meaning. Yet as ages turned into eternities, even creation itself grew predictable. The rise and fall of worlds blurred together, and the Absolute Being found itself once more staring into boredom as vast as the Void it had tried to escape. At last, the Being reached an unsettling conclusion. If creation was no longer enough… then there was only one way left to be truly entertained. And so, the final experiment began.

"Luca, please…" she cried. "You need to see who the devil really is. And decide if you want me that way," he said. "Because this is who I am. You either accept it or reject it." Luca's hand reached for a knife from the array of tools spread meticulously on the desk. "I wanted to prolong his suffering…" he murmured. "Luca…" she whispered. "But since this is a show and tell…" Without a pause, he cut the rope holding Inferi's wrists, letting the man drop heavily to the floor with a thud that made the room shudder. Inferi's eyes, wide with terror, flicked to Vee as his body twisted weakly under the weight of his injuries. "This isn't one of those times when you ask me to let someone go, I am going to kill him right here." "You have two choices," he continued. "Walk away right now, and I will accept that you will never accept who I am. Or stay and watch me kill him, to prove to me that you accept all of me, that you want all of me." "God, please, Luca, don't do this." Behind Luca, Inferi struggled weakly on the floor. Luca looked only at her. "It's simple, Vee. I am giving you a choice. I don't have a gun to your head, now, do I? Are you ashamed of who I am, or do you accept who I am?" "It's not so simple!" Vee yelled. "You're asking me to stand here while you take a life." "I will count to ten." He gestured with the knife toward the steel door behind her. "There is the door. Here is me." "Jesus!" Vee bit down on her lower lip. She squeezed her eyes shut. "Jesus Christ!" "One…" "Two…" She stepped toward him. "Three…" "I'm not running." She moved closer. "I will not run. I will stay." "Four…" Vee drew in a shaky breath, steadying herself against the tidal wave inside her. "I meant what I said last night. I said I love you. I meant it. But don't subject me to this. It will not change how I feel about you. It won't." She stepped even closer, until the knife hovered inches from her hip. "But it will most definitely change me." She swallowed hard. "If you make me stand here and watch this, you are not testing my love. You are reshaping me into something I may never recognize again." Her hands came up slowly and pressed against his chest. "I love the man who protects. The man who terrifies everyone else but holds me like I matter." Her eyes glistened, but she did not look away. "I know what you are. I accept what you are. But do not ask me to become it." "Five…" Luca moved behind Inferi now, the knife hovering at his throat. Vee's feet rooted to the floor, the edge of Luca's jacket gripped tightly in her fists. Her eyes, brimming with tears locked onto his, daring him to see, really see, what she was becoming in his presence. "Six…" he continued. He held the knife steady against Inferi's skin, a cold, absolute line of judgment, waiting. And in that pause, Luca realized a part of him wanted her to run, desperately. He wanted her to bolt, to retreat from this room of blood and fear, because maybe, just maybe, if she ran, he would see the futility of the obsession clawing at him from the inside. "Seven…" he murmured. "Eight…" "Nine…" Synopsis: She insulted the devil. He decided to own her.
