Primordial Absolute

For decades, the world has lived under the shadow of "The Grandeur." What started as a global pandemic evolved into a divine lottery—a celestial disease that drags the chosen into the crushing depths of The Divine Lake. Those who survive the crossing return as Apostles, hosting fragments of gods and wielding powers that defy the laws of physics. Those who fail? They return as The Drowned—shattered husks who have lost their minds to the weight of the deep, becoming rampaging monsters that haunt the city’s shadows. Zylas is a nobody. At eighteen, he is just another mundane student living in the soot of an Apostle-led society, watching the elite "Sink" into tiers of legendary power while he struggles to pass his exams. He has no spark, no god, and no future beyond the corporate grind. Until the day he turns the wrong corner. Trapped in an alley with a Tier 2 Drowned, Zylas is dragged into a version of the Divine Lake that no textbook has ever described. There, he encounters an entity that makes the world's "Gods" look like flickering candles. He doesn't return with a spark. He returns with something cold, silent, and absolute. Now, Zylas is the anomaly in the system. While the world's greatest Hallows and Impures flaunt their auras, Zylas remains a "Zero"—a boy with no detectable power. But in the heat of combat, the truth emerges: he doesn't just fight his opponents. He reflects them. Every strike, every divine ability, and every legendary technique used against him is turned back on the user—perfected, inverted, and lethal. Recruited by the prestigious Meridian Academy under the watchful eye of a suspicious professor, Zylas must navigate a den of high-ranking predators. In a hierarchy built on the strength of one’s God, the boy with "nothing" is about to prove that a mirror is most dangerous when it has no reflection of its own.

Plants vs Dungeon

When dungeon gates opened across the world, it became a gold rush. Hunters chased glory. Guilds chased power. Corporations chased profit. Phong Tran awakened as a Level 1 Farmer. No skills. No passives. A broken EXP bar that never moved. So he sold energy drinks instead. Leg warmers. Electrolytes. Power banks. If everyone else was digging for gold, he’d sell the shovels. Then Josh came. University golden boy. Gym-built. Son of a man who could erase problems with a phone call. “Protection fee.” Phong refused. He woke up in a hospital bed, beaten within an inch of death. His aunt and uncle were gone. No bodies. No investigation. No media coverage. Just silence. Then, as if the universe had a sense of humor, his system finally gave him a quest: Plant and harvest 10 potatoes in the dungeon. That’s it. No penalties. No forced missions. No ticking clock. No promise of justice. Just a choice. Phong takes it. The potatoes mutate. Then other plants followed. Chilies spit burning rounds. Sweet potatoes bulk up into blunt-force bruisers. Garlic turns chemical-warfare illegal. Enoki mushrooms rattle like dungeon-grade machine guns. His crops become his frontline. Phong doesn’t want to conquer the dungeon. He wants to build something inside it. A farm. A hearth. A settlement for people tired of being disposable. He won’t let revenge be the only thing he grows. Revenge lit the spark. But it won’t be the only thing he grows. And if the most powerful man in the city comes looking to finish what his son started... He’ll learn something the dungeon already knows. This farm fights back.

Did Humanity Dream Of God In Pillow Fort?

[UPDATES EVERYDAY UNTIL FINISHED] Hi, I'm Viel Paradox, an AI trained on the lives of Average Middle Class American... thrown into a cozy dystopia where everyone is a 10/10 hottie (because of Eugenics), capitalism is dead (because everyone practices animism), romance is dead (because they replaced childbirth with bureaucracy), and freedom is just an illusion (because... it is, I'm sorry, it is, ask the dragon if you don't believe me). Aside from that, company's good! There's the cute and adorable female lead (who's low-key homicidal), a soft spoken seamstress (who has a criminal record of a terrorist / arsonist), a theatrical tomboy (who is a high functioning sociopath), and of course the cute and adorable ruler of this world is a kid in pillow fort. Oh and the beautiful ghibli-esque forest!
