In a world ruled by the Global Hero Authority, heroes are no longer needed. Advanced robots now protect the cities, stop disasters, and defeat monsters faster than any human ever could. Because of that, the Hero System was officially shut down. No salary. No fame. No recognition. Anyone who still wants to be a hero… must do it for free. Most people gave up. But one young man refuses to quit. Even if the world says heroes are useless. Even if robots replace them. Even if the pay is zero. He still believes one thing. "A hero isn't someone who gets paid." And when the system starts hiding the truth behind the robots… The world will realize something terrifying. The age of heroes isn't over yet. It's just getting started.

This was the story of the Wannabe Webnovelist Team (aka WW) who slaved over writing for five years and did not receive a single reader, only to discover that the person responsible for the final edit and publishing in the Wannabe Webnovelist writing team never actually published anything. He had only uploaded everything to the drafts. Sit back and relax (or not) as you try to figure out which character has written which paragraph or chapter. Not to mention working out how many people are actually in this team - this may fluctuate. The WW team's rules in this novel are that once a chapter has been published, no one in the team can edit it. (NB: all the characters in this work are fictional and while any resemblance to real life people are not entirely coincidental - no insults are meant. This is a completely tongue in cheek, rubbish piece of nothing. Yes, you read that right. If you find this as nonsensical as the author(s), then 'high five!' You are on the right page.) Also, has this story really been discontinued? Wait and see... because if it really has been discontinued, we hope the readers enjoy being left hanging on the cliff edge - or just hanging, cos there's nothing wrong with just hanging about. Addit Oct 2023: WW is on a long break. Who knows if they'll ever get back together or come back (in fact, I doubt they will ever return - I think they've given up). Therefore, you will receive random short stories instead. This is now truly discontinuous nonsense. Enjoy. If you don't like one story, you can now switch to a different one via the contents page. Yay.

Chapter 0 “Mortal Defiance” The Earth has turned into a battleground against a formidable invader. Ecrea, a species of nightmarish and grotesque creatures, has risen to the top of the food chain. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes some tower like moving fortresses, while others are lean and unnervingly quick. But no matter their form, they all have one thing in common, they are a force to be reckoned with. On May 7th, 2026, an event known as The Fracture occurred, when the skies split open like a breathtaking Aurora Borealis, visible from every corner of the globe. This moment marked the beginning of their reign of terror, as these monsters struck without warning, driven purely by their predatory instincts towards what they deem as prey, humanity. In the midst of chaos, some people awaken incredible powers that completely disrupted the natural order. In an instant, the invaders wiped out a huge chunk of the population across entire nations, leaving cities as nothing more than haunting remnants of steel and ash. The devastation was immense, and with their last glimmer of hope, humanity found itself retreating to the most remote corners of the globe, desperately trying to survive in scattered enclaves. In a desperate attempt to salvage what was left of Earth, mankind came together, putting down their fultile weapons and embracing the extraordinary abilities granted to them by a newfound energy that filled the atmosphere, known as the Aether. This energy allows those who have awakened to perform miracles later called as Crosents. Time and again, successful missions proved its effectiveness. Year after year, some territories were reclaimed, lands redeemed, and lives saved. But just when humanity thought the war was nearing its end, a group of heroes established a unique nation, a floating fortress the size of a country known as Eldorin, leaving the surface and the war in a stalemate. Now, the world is teeming with Ecrea, and the war has never truly concluded. The heroes see themselves as gods, those who stand above, leaving the rest to fend for themselves or wither away in the war-torn world. The world has been forever changed, hanging in the balance of war. Who or what will alter the course of Earth’s fate?

Eleven centuries after our existence, a new world has emerged. All nations now live on a single land, united under one supreme god in absolute supremacy. But is this truly a perfect world? If we are all equals, then why do superior races still exist, while others are cast aside as societal waste? Divided by golden domes, each person dreams of becoming a “Perfect”, a being purified of all emotions and perfectly sane, a being stripped of feelings in pursuit of eternal life. But at what cost? That is why they were born... The "Tracks Emotional", beings who possess only a single, pure emotion, were created to destroy all threats that transcend the nature of our world. From corrupted emotions arise the “Transemotional”, born mostly from the Fosse, and driven by unstable genetics or devouring feelings. They transform into massive, uncontrollable shadows that relentlessly attack the domes. All they have are their dreams.

"All the good skills were out of stock." When I opened my eyes, I was no longer in Japan. I was in a world of swords and magic, standing before a "guide" who looked more like a weary warehouse manager than a goddess. The legendary hero's path? Taken. Ultimate magic mastery? Sold out. Taken in by a small village of demons, I slowly began to build a quiet life there. At first, every day was about surviving. Learning how to use what little I had, working, and slowly understanding this unfamiliar world. But everything changed the day I left the village.

What does daily life look like when you're building a home in hell? Chris died the way he lived—unremarkably. A burnout, a college dropout, a man who was never enough. When a bored god pulls his soul into another world, Chris expects power, magic, and a destiny worth living for. Instead, he gets seeds. Now he's stranded in the Barrens, a wasteland where empires dump their exiles to die. His only companions: a bag of magical soil, 180 seeds that can grow into any plant he imagines, and an old caretaker who teaches him the rules of survival. No combat skills. No magic. No grand destiny. Just dirt. Seeds. And one more day. But when a dungeon tide threatens the village, the old man makes a final stand—and Chris is left alone with a dying garden, a growing village, and a voice in his head that whispers he could be so much more. Now exiles find his gate. A fallen demon general offers his sword. An imperial assassin seeks a place to heal. And spies from the great empires watch to see if this gardener will bloom—or become something they fear. In the Barrens, daily life is survival. But Chris is learning to grow something worth surviving for. Seeds of Supremacy is a slow-burn isekai about building a home, carrying the weight of those you've lost, and choosing who you want to become when the world expects you to be a monster. Updates regularly. Plant system. Village building. No harem. No overpowered MC. Just a gardener with seeds and a dream.

Nille F. Tsukuyomi, great-grandson of Amparo Pilar Fajardo and Takeshi Tsukuyomi, carries in his veins the hidden legacy of the spirits that dwell between the human realm and the unseen worlds. A mark etched upon his right shoulder bears witness to this power, a silent sigil of destinies intertwined. Born of both Filipino and Japanese blood, he is also a direct descendant of Tsukuyomi, the Japanese moon god, the crescent moon etched beneath his tattooed Enlil symbol glowing with quiet significance. Towering at six feet, with silver-gray eyes that pierce through darkness and long black hair that flows like midnight, Nille stands as a living convergence of two ancient mythologies. In a world teetering on the edge of war, haunted by the remnants of forgotten gods and restless spirits, he must navigate the duality of his heritage, awakening powers drawn from both the ancestral spirits of the earth and the divine luminescence of the moon. Enemies lurk in every shadow, drawn to the strength and legacy he carries—those who would seek to claim it, and those who would destroy it. Yet Nille’s path is not only one of survival; it is a journey of identity, of destiny, and of mastering the delicate balance between mortal blood and divine essence. In his veins flows the pulse of ancient worlds. In his heart burns the struggle between human will and celestial inheritance. And the fate of both realms may hinge upon the choices of this extraordinary scion, whose very presence is a bridge between what is seen…and what is eternal. If you want, I can also craft an even more cinematic, “opening-novel style” version that reads like the first paragraph of an epic fantasy, with a sense of impending war, mystery, and supernatural grandeur, it would

Echelon Institute is an elite academy where students are ranked not by grades, but by merit—a constantly changing score that determines status, privilege, and survival. Every action is measured. Every mistake has a cost. Those who fall to zero are erased from the system entirely. Kairo Vale enters the academy with an unremarkable score and an even more unremarkable reputation. Quiet, observant, and deliberately average, he avoids attention in a school where Echelon Institute is an elite academy where students are ranked not by grades, but by merit—a constantly changing score that determines status, privilege, and survival.

Kairo Vale enters the academy with an unremarkable score and an even more unremarkable reputation. Quiet, observant, and deliberately average, he avoids attention in a school where ambition is rewarded and weakness is punished. While others compete openly for higher rankings, Kairo studies the system itself—and the people trapped inside it. As rivalries intensify and alliances fracture, the academy reveals its true nature: a controlled environment designed to test obedience as much as intelligence. Charismatic leaders rise, desperate students fall, and the pressure to sacrifice morals for survival grows stronger each week. Behind the rankings and rules, something is wrong. The system is flawed—and Kairo may be the only one who understands how. In a place where power is invisible and control is silent, survival belongs not to the strongest, but to the most aware.
