Kaizen Renji Asahina was an NPC in a popular RPG, designed only to sit in class, nod on cue, and say three recycled dialogue lines. But one day, something glitches and he wakes up. Suddenly aware, trapped inside the Academy of Heroes, Kaizen must survive: A Demon King candidate as his overly earnest roommate. A terrorist student club that crowns him “Lord Shadow.” An Inquisitor waiting for any excuse to turn the academy into a warzone. He’s just an NPC. Why is he the center of the story now!?

At 11:42 PM, the world didn’t explode. It didn’t burn. It glitched. Cities were sliced open by forests that didn’t belong. The sky cracked like broken glass, and something ancient looked back. Technology failed. Magic twisted reality. And survival stopped being about who you were— —it became about what you could become. This isn’t a story about heroes. It’s about people who adapted fast enough to stay alive in a world that no longer followed human rules. Welcome to WORLD AT ZERO. Where the future collapsed… and something far worse replaced it.

Fifty years ago, dungeons appeared—and the world learned a new hierarchy. Hunters rose. Ranks were established. And only the strongest had the right to decide. Han Joon-seok was never one of them. After losing his parents in a dungeon break, he grew up in the shadow of his older sister—an S-rank hunter and the founder of an elite guild. Surrounded by power but possessing none, Joon-seok learned to survive by watching, thinking, and understanding the awakened world. When his turn to awaken finally arrives, the system gives him a support skill so unimpressive that even the evaluators lose interest: Increases the growth rate of others. No combat ability. No flashy effects. No immediate value. Or so it seems. As unusual changes begin to surface among high-rank hunters, Joon-seok realizes that some abilities aren’t meant to be used openly—and some truths are better left classified. Because in a world ruled by S-rankers and monsters, the most dangerous person isn’t the strongest— It’s the one who understands them. Hey, you made it till the end then listen, this webnovel is an experiment of mine i am just testing if AI will eat my job. Well then enjoy it. and thanks

He was the King of Kings—until the Author rewrote him. Noah ruled worlds, shaped laws, and commanded reality itself… until a penstroke stripped him of everything. Banished to the Abyss—a realm where authority is borrowed and divinity is mocked—he’s forced to start again from zero. But Noah doesn’t kneel. He hunts. With a chaos-born princess at his side and rebellion in his blood, he’ll tear through puppet monarchs, unravel the threads of fate, and claw his way back to the top. The narrative may bind others— But he remembers being the one who wrote it. This time, the story obeys him. And when the final page turns, even the Author will bleed.

They say seven is the number of perfection. For Luna Seraphine, it was the number that ended her silence. Six times, she tore the divorce papers apart, choosing love over pride, endurance over dignity, surrendering to the cruel demands of the mate who never cherished her. The seventh time, she signed her name without trembling. Alpha Ravyn panicked. His mistress, Daisy, the daughter of Seraphine’s former nanny, laughed it off. She’s only throwing a tantrum, they said. She’ll crawl back. They were wrong. The truth shattered what little remained of her heart: the child she had loved and raised for six years was never hers. That revelation became her breaking point and her rebirth. This time, Luna Seraphine walked away without looking back. As her power rose, so did Ravyn’s regret. The Alpha who once discarded her now slept outside her door, desperate for a single glance. But the woman who opened that door was no longer the Luna he broke. Cold. Untouchable. Unforgiving. Ravyn fell to his knees, begging for her hand, only to realize he was no longer the only one. Men of influence and power now competed for her attention. Because Luna Seraphine was no longer just a Luna. She was a world-renowned business mogul. A shadowed philanthropist. The most sought-after surgeon of her time, and a cyber genius. This time, she is not surviving the story written for her. She is rewriting it. And only she decides how it ends.

Nineteen-year-old Tesslyn Verne thought the worst day of her life was catching her boyfriend Callum in bed with her roommate. She drowned her heartbreak in whiskey and the arms of a mysterious stranger—a man whose silver-tongued words and devastating touch made her forget everything but the way he whispered her name like a prayer. One perfect night. No names. No promises. Just escape. When Callum came crawling back, she forgave him. Stupid? Maybe. But she'd gotten her revenge, had her wild night, and now she could move forward. University would be their fresh start. Until she walks into Advanced Literature on her first day and finds him behind the professor's desk. Dr. Thayer Murdoch. Thirty-two. Brilliant. Untouchable. And very much her new professor. The man who knows exactly what she sounds like when she comes undone. He should stay away—his career, her education, everything demands it. She should run—Callum's waiting, university's just starting, this is insane. But some addictions can't be quit. Some lines, once crossed, redraw the entire map.

Her professor wants her in ways that could destroy them both. And Tesslyn? She's about to learn that some lessons can't be taught in classrooms—and the most dangerous education is learning who you'll burn the world down for.

TRIGGER WARNING: This story contains dark themes, emotional and physical abuse, trauma, betrayal, humiliation, and mature content. However, it also delivers humor, sharp sarcasm, a doting (and dangerous) mate, and chaotic chemistry between the leads. ★★ Synopsis ★★ They called her wolf-less. A disgrace. A curse. The girl blamed for her brother’s death. The unwanted twin. The shame her pack never stopped punishing. For seventeen years, Isabella endured cruelty from everyone who should have protected her—her Alpha, her pack, even her own blood. Beaten down. Enslaved. Ignored. Yet she never broke.

A ruler who rejected fate, bonds, and the Moon Goddess herself. He took her blood to survive. He meant to kill her afterward. Instead, he marked her. A bond never meant to exist. A mate never meant to live. A king never meant to awaken. The mark ignites a secret no one was meant to uncover—one that places Isabella at the center of power, prophecy, and bloodshed. Now the packs want her dead. The Elders want to use her. And enemies far older than wolves are watching. Lucain has spent his existence proving he cannot be owned. No bond. No mate.No weakness. Isabella has spent her life learning how to survive. Forced together by fate and hunted by the world, they face an impossible choice. Bow to destiny and submit to the bond… Or burn down everything that ever tried to control them. Because when fate tightens its grip, the real question isn’t whether the bond can be rejected...

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.

They are ranked from F-Class civilians to the god-like S-Class protectors of the city. Fame, wealth, and power—the Ranking System dictates everything. Kai is a "Null."

Thrust into a war he was never meant to fight, the Zero-Rank nobody must navigate corrupt heroes, ancient conspiracies, and the truth behind why the Veil shattered in the first place. The System says he is nothing. He is about to prove it wrong.
