Going from burnt-out formerly gifted kid to monster-hunting adventurer is a rough transition. Getting ritually sacrificed is the obvious first step. Ripped from the dingy bathroom of an old bar through the cosmos, Greg Norwood arrives confused, naked, and surrounded by the corpses of the cult that summoned him. Marked (physically and spiritually) as Gifted by divine and demonic forces, he’s given powers that will kill him if he can’t keep them balanced and a glitchy user interface that is sometimes more hindrance than help. A dwarf engineer and a legendary elf adventurer "offer" to help him survive long enough to figure out what he’s doing. Unfortunately, the coastal city of Rhobair doesn’t plan on giving Greg a break. If the monsters in the sewers weren’t enough, a new drug just dropped that turns regular people into Gifted hunting ghouls. When hesitation will get him eaten by a kraken and powerful families play dangerous games, Greg can’t just coast anymore. He’ll have to learn to fight back, to connect, and to care, or he’ll die before figuring out why he was summoned in the first place.

David Carter is fifteen, exhausted, and already tired of the day—no matter what time it is. Between a chaotic family, awkward school moments, anime arguments, and expectations he didn’t sign up for, life keeps happening whether he’s ready or not. Yep… This Is My Life is a deadpan slice-of-life comedy about growing up, overthinking everything, and surviving daily chaos one uncomfortable moment at a time. No powers. No destiny. Just life—and the quiet struggle of getting through it.

*"He couldn't save his family from the war — so he decided the world didn't deserve him anymore. He was wrong about that last part."* --- Arjun Delos Reyes lost everything in the aftermath of World War II — his father, his mother, his younger sister, all of them gone in the violence that swallowed Southeast Asia while the world was busy celebrating peace and he survived, carrying that survival for three years like a punishment he never asked for until in 1948 he walked to a cliff outside Manila and stepped off. His body died but his soul didn't move on — instead it expanded outward through time itself, past the Philippines, past the century, past every war and discovery and quiet human moment that ever happened, until a Voice found him in that silence and spoke to him the way a teacher speaks to a student who has finally run out of excuses, and that Voice didn't comfort him, it gave him a mission. Travel through every era, move through past present future and every branching timeline in between, change the moments that bent human history toward catastrophe — save Mahatma Gandhi from assassination, give Alan Turing the protection his own government denied him, ensure the discoveries that could have arrived decades earlier actually do, redirect the quiet decisions made by politicians and scientists and ordinary people whose single choices echoed for generations across every country and every timeline. There is one rule — he cannot interfere with anything that involves his family, not to warn them, not to watch them, not even to stand on the same street, and the moment he tries time itself removes him, and he has tried, he knows exactly how it feels, he will try again — and somewhere out in the threads of history someone else is moving through time making their own changes and they left four words in his private ledger that nobody else should have been able to touch, four words in German, and he hasn't figured out yet whether they're a warning or an invitation. --- **THE CONTRACT** 5 Reviews — 1 extra chapters 10 Golden Tickets — 1 extra chapter 50 Powerstones — 2 extra chapters 100 Collections — 3 extra chapter Targets double, rewards double — 100 powerstones means 4 chapters, 200 means 8, no ceiling. --- **GIFTING TIERS** Massage Chair — +1 chapter Car — +3 chapters Dragon — +4 chapters Castle — +12 to chapters Spaceship — +21 chapters Gachapon — +25 chapters Every platform gift counts toward bonus chapters based on its value — nothing goes unrecognised. --- **UPLOAD PROMISE** All reward chapters will be uploaded within 2–9 days of the goal being hit, tracked weekly and posted publicly so you always know where things stand. --- *Don't read it... unless you're ready to get addicted.* --- **EXTRA TAGS** #TimeTravel #DarkFiction #HistoricalFiction #WebNovel #SoulsOutsideTime #Gandhi #AlanTuring #RealHistory #MoralGrey #GeniusMC #PhilosophicalFiction #BillyBat #MultipleTimelines #SecretWar #NoSystemJustBrains #DeadButNotGone #ManipulatingHistory #LoreHeavy #CinematicFiction #OP_MC #DarkButHopeful #TimelineMission #MindGames #AddictedAlready #MustRead ---

Luo Qiu became the boss of a ‘club’ by chance. It was a weird club that sold strange items, assisted by a servant girl with 300 years of work experience. Countless people with dreams, hopes and ambitions came to the club, exchanging everything precious they owned just to fulfill their desires. They would offer their lifespan, items, and even their soul. Each successful trade would increase Luo Qiu’s lifespan by a little. “Tribute successful, your lifespan has increased by 99 years.” Thus, Luo Qiu began his endless life as the club’s boss.

Zhou Li has been able to see demons since he was young, but it wasn’t until the end of his senior year in high school that he actually came into contact with one. "You can see me, right?" "You must be able to see me!" "You were looking at me just now!" The barefoot youth kept pace with Zhou Li. "Stop pretending, I've figured you out!" "Hey! You're still pretending?"

Yang Zhengshan transmigrated and realized a super leap in age, going from a young man to a grandfather. Transferred from 28 years old to 38 years old and gained three sons, two daughters, two daughters-in-law, two grandsons, and a granddaughter, becoming the true head of the family. My family, my rules. Watch how Yang Zhengshan leads a farming household to prosperity and wealth.

After binge-playing a game for seventy-two hours, the single-player streamer Yang Yu, who made his living selling game guides, quietly passed away in his bed. Unaware of his own death, he was invited by a deity to conquer an RPG game, and was persuaded into choosing the hardest civilian starter. Couldn't even defeat a single slime after leaving the novice village? Want to learn a taunt skill but have to actually verbally taunt? And the gacha only yields trash? Faced with numerous hardships, he actually... got excited. A true gamer never fears challenges; they only fear the game being too easy. As his sparse panel began filling out, Yang Yu felt an unprecedented satisfaction swell within him, and he became addicted to making waves, unable to stop himself. 'Hey? There seems to be a lone hero up ahead. Watch as I turn him into a unit of combat power! Damn, I’ve been spotted. Hero, don't run away!'

The Spirit Network, known as【Deep Sea】 connected five continents as human civilization surged forward; yet, they were oblivious to the impending eternal night. With the Extraordinary Awakening, the edifice was about to collapse. Flesh is weak and pitiful, how could one ascend? The story began when Gu Shen, an ordinary youth, received a ruler that bore the truth. He peeled back the corner of this extraordinary world, becoming the largest moth among the thousands that dashed into the flames. If winter is coming, I will climb against the steps, overturn the thrones of kings, shatter the crowns of falsehood, destroy the scepters of injustice. I will become humanity's last, Bright Barrier.

It felt real. That was what he kept coming back to. The smell of this room felt real. The weight of this body felt real. The sound of that argument outside felt real in the specific, unremarkable way that real things felt. His first life had been nothing but a bitter, endless struggle. He had lost the handful of people he truly cared about and had been completely helpless to stop it. Then, just when he finally gripped a slight sliver of hope to change his fate, it was violently ripped away, ending with him locked inside a forsaken underground archive. For twenty-four years, he did what he could to survive. At first, he had hope, but the darkness faded it. He had a burning thirst for revenge, but the isolation snuffed it out. He had the will to live, but eventually, even that was forgotten in the dust of the old scrolls. He had become an empty vessel simply waiting for death. And then, on his final day, he accidentally came across a dark red book. The impossible conclusion settled over him like heavy snow. He had regressed. At first, the mere thought felt completely ridiculous. But deep down, in some buried corner of his soul, this was the solitary dream he had prayed for during his darkest nights in the archive. As the decades had bled away, he had convinced himself that second chances didn't exist in a world as cruel as the Murim. There were no do-overs for a ruined life. Yet, here he was. He didn't know what god or devil had granted this miracle, but as the heavy, dark presence pulsed faintly in his mind, he knew with absolute certainty that the book was the catalyst. It had sent him back.

When the zombie apocalypse began, I expected screaming, chaos, maybe even heroic last stands. What I didn’t expect… was my wife being eaten for breakfast. Now before you judge me—our marriage wasn’t exactly a fairy tale. Years of arguments, flying utensils, and emotional warfare had already prepared me for the end of the world. So when the zombies showed up and started eating her, I thought maybe—just maybe—this apocalypse had finally done me a favor. Unfortunately, they didn’t finish the job. She turned. And now my undead wife, along with half the neighborhood, is chasing me down the street with a rolling pin and a hunger for revenge. Surviving the zombie apocalypse is hard. Surviving it while your zombie wife is trying to kill you? That’s a whole different nightmare. Welcome to my life. Like, comment, share give good reviews and power stones

PvZ meets Solo Farming In The Tower. What to expect: - Mature and logical MC who refuse to be devoured by vengeance - A garden full of war crimes - Character driven story over fast-pace progression - Lovable cast of characters - Lore. Lots of lore regarding the dungeons and the civilizations that had fallen within it for you lorebrarians. - Update daily at 6pm CET -------------- “In a gold rush, the position of shovel vendors is reserved for the privileged.” That was a lesson Phong Tran had to learn the hard way. One year after the dungeon appeared, it had become a modern gold rush. People awakened classes, unlocked skills, and dove into the dungeon for its seemingly endless riches and resources. Phong, a level 1 Farmer with a dead EXP bar, naturally gravitated toward becoming a wandering vendor. While other people fought monsters, gained EXP, and became media heroes, he sold them socks, battery banks, and energy drinks. Phong existed in the space between glory and obscurity, until one day, a privileged bastard took everything from him. He was beaten half to death, and his aunt and uncle were “erased” for being inconvenient to those at the top. As if it had a cruel sense of humor, Phong received his first and only quest while lying in his sickbed: “Plant 10 potatoes.” No rewards. No promise of revenge. Just 10 potatoes sitting there, as if to mock his powerlessness. He took the quest. And now, he must conquer the dungeon with only 10 potatoes to his name.

Mr. Nobody is just… there. A background character in a Romance webcomic named Shining Blossom. He has no face, no name, no real purpose because the writers of the webcomic didn't give him any of that. He walks, stands, exists in scenes and that’s it. The story never focuses on him. Until one day, something feels wrong. He notices it first in small ways. People repeating the same lines. Scenes resetting. Then the truth hits him. He doesn’t have a face. And suddenly a system window pops out saying ,''User has awakened his self-wareness that he is an npc in the webcomic 'Shining Blossom' Instead of breaking down, at night, when the story isn’t really “looking,” he creates his own identity. A pink bunny helmet.A red bike. A name: The Crimson Bunny Biker. A secret heroic persona. Can he balance his boring npc life and a action packed secret life?

After reading and being sent to a novel world by its author, he thought he could rely on his noble status to completely escape from his tragic life in the real world, but the opposite happened, and tragedy never ended, it only transferred from one person to another. Watch as he step by step, walks towards a future he never intended or expected. This is a true story of an ordinary person forced to become a hero and transforming into a Saviour. Notes before reading: —The story is told in the first-person point of view, and the narrator may change as the plot unfolds (the perspective shifts quite often). —Please keep a fair mindset regarding the male lead’s setbacks. He’s an ordinary person, so he won’t always make perfect choices. His character will also undergo noticeable changes as the story moves forward. —The beginning of the story focuses mainly on school life and character interactions, with limited action scenes. Themes like adventures, monster battles, and power progression are not the main focus early on. It can be seen as a Japanese-style campus visual novel set within a Western fantasy backdrop. —Updates may not be very frequent, as the author takes extra time to refine the plot and improve the overall quality. Your patience is greatly appreciated

Just seven children, their offline ChatGPT, and bunches of alien flora and fauna. - Survival and character-driven narrative. - Soft sci-fi setting (space colony, minimal technobabble) (Name Children of the moon has already been taken, so i renamed it lunar children ont he spot.)
