In the rain-soaked city of Bouten, justice is not upheld it is sold. Power belongs to those who wear uniforms, and the law bends to the highest bidder. Lucas grows up watching his mother extorted by officers who call it “protection.” From a young age, he learns a simple rule: silence is the safest way to survive. But silence fails him the night a shop is destroyed and the blame is placed on his shoulders. Dragged into a stone-walled interrogation room, Lucas is told that evidence can be arranged and accidents can be prevented for a price. When he refuses to pay, the threat shifts from money to something far more fragile: his family. The next morning, his younger brother Gabriel is found murdered in the most brutal way imaginable. In that moment, something inside Lucas dies. He does not vow to become a hero. He does not seek justice. Standing beneath the cold rain of Bouten, Lucas makes only one promise: He will destroy the city that took everything from him.

Over a thousand years ago, the Byzantine Empire (Romans but Catholic) unified the world through a campaign known as the SANCTIFICATION. This conquest was made possible by the Prime Twelve. Immortal warriors blessed with CRESTS; Divine marks that granted them godlike powers. Each Crest embodied a fundamental force of nature: the Winds of Time, Chains of Fate, Breadth of Life, Scales of judegement, Radiant Truth, and others. The Prime Twelve's true purpose, however, was to seal the Seven DIAVOLO. Apocalyptic entities representing the darker inversions of the natural order: Corruption, Death, Decay, Dreams, Chaos and Darkness. Each Diavolo commanded Heralds who in turn commanded Apostles wielding fragments of their masters' world-ending power. The sealing was successful, but it came at a cost. Dimensional tears called Rifts began opening across the world, unleashing VARIANTS; monsters that defied natural law. To combat this threat, the Prime Twelve founded Major Houses and spread Crests throughout humanity. Today, those born with Crests called TOPPLERS form the ruling class of society, while the Crestless, the ACHUSOI are treated as second-class citizens. Marcus Chen was Achusoi. He survived by taking whatever work he could find in the empire's margins, invisible to a world built for the powerful. His life ended when one job went sideways, murdered by Huey Cross—the youngest son of House Cross. One of the Prime Twelve lineages. Ironically, Huey himself was Crestless, and an embarrassment to his bloodline. Marcus wakes up in Huey's body with fragmented memories and a terrible realization: Huey DID have a Crest. Just not one that came from God. Now inhabiting his killer's body, Marcus must navigate VIRELIA INSTITUTE, a university for gifted Topplers, while investigating what happened eight months ago at St. Helena Hospital..... the incident that put him in this body. By night, he becomes the Blue Reaper, a vigilante hunting down secrets the empire buried. But as he digs deeper, Marcus discovers a horrifying truth: the Seven Diavolo were never truly sealed. Their Heralds walk among humanity and he is infact one of them. Armed with a kingdom of Apostles, maids, servants, foot soldiers and his very own palace REQUEIM within the dimension of death - LIMBO. Marcus comes to accept his new fate "I AM THE BLUE REAPER, AND I HERALD DEATH." --- NOTE: See auxiliary chapters for detailed world-building and power system information.

In a world where the System has existed since the dawn of humanity, every person is born with limits. A Class. Stats. A cap that defines how far they can ever grow. Strength has an end. Talent has a ceiling. Power is finite. Noen is the exception. When he awakens his System, it assigns him a never-before-seen Class—one so weak it becomes a global joke. Negative stats. A cap of zero. A life already decided. What no one understands is what the System truly means by zero. While others struggle as they approach their limits, Noen grows beyond them. Slowly at first. Painfully. Until the rules that bind everyone else no longer apply to him. Everyone has a limit. His is zero.

“Doing the wrong thing for the right reason… never ends well for anyone.” Seven great races ruled the continent of Eldarion. Humans weren’t among them. To the world, mankind was nothing more than background noise, as insignificant as a breath of air, as laughable as a failed joke of creation. A race with no promise. No power. No future. Tyler was born into that world—a world where every “hero of humanity” was fated to fall before they could rise. So he abandoned the path of heroes entirely. He chose the road stained in shadows. He chose the power no sane soul would touch. He chose to become a demon— not for glory, but for survival. His purpose was simple: Ascend as the Demon King. Stand as a monstrous shield when the true invaders finally tear into their continent. And he succeeded. He rose higher, darker, and stronger than any being before him. But power has a price. A price he only understood when it was far too late. For in climbing toward salvation, He became the very abomination he once swore to destroy— The Desecrator. And the world whispered: “There is no lesser or greater evil. There is only evil.” Yet a more profound truth lingered in the dark: “Because sometimes, only one Evil can devour another.” *** Discord - https://discord.gg/4xbt5Nwrtn *** #Yandere #ComplexCharacters #NoHarem #Dark #RareBloodline #Magic #Slowburn #FatedLove #Demons #Dragons #Otherworlders #RunicSorcery #Evil-FL

I failed my Genetic Awakening. Score: 0.03%. Status: Trash. Then I got a system. Not the kind that makes you a hero. The kind that makes you a problem. [Ancestral System] Power Source: Other people's negative reactions Specialty: World-hopping to wuxia dimensions Side Effect: Becoming the most hated guy on Earth Here's how it works: - Someone mocks me → I gain points - I use points → Travel to wuxia worlds - I learn cultivation→ Bring it back to Earth - I use martial arts→ Everyone loses their minds → MORE POINTS It's a beautiful cycle. While Earth's mage chant spells and discover mana patterns, I'm spending weekends in sects chasing jade beauties. While they train to combat kaiju, I'm buying cultivation techniques from a sarcastic AI named ARIA. The government wants to dissect me. The mages want to recruit me. My classmates think I'm an alien. I'm none of those things. I'm just the only martial artist in a world that forgot cultivation existed. And I'm about to remind them why that's a problem.

Determined to leave the chaos behind, he sets his sights on this idyllic haven to start a new chapter in life. Yet, even in retirement, the world has a way of pulling adventurers back into its fold. Can Tom truly find the quiet life he seeks, or will his past follow him to the countryside? author's note: I have used that name so redundantly on my reruns of Stardew Valley.

Rain gets caught in an ultimatum… climb the Tower of Thyriss… or die. Faced with no other choice, he chooses to climb. But the moment he enters the Tower of Thyriss, he realizes he isn’t the same as everyone else. While the others are ordinary humans—afraid, confused, fragile—Rain is something else. He’s a… vampire? As blood is spilled and bodies fall, something inside him awakens. A hunger. A pull. Succumbing to his blood-soaked desires, Rain grows stronger with every step upward. And with it comes a question he can’t ignore: Why is he so different? Why was this Tower created in the first place? Who built it… and for what purpose? As time passes, Rain uncovers fragments of the Tower’s history—whispers of its origin, its creators, and its true purpose. But he discovers something even more disturbing. He isn’t just a vampire. He’s something more. It is said that any being born stronger than a human is marked with a curse—a flaw meant to balance their overwhelming power. If Rain is a vampire, then he should carry one curse. So why does he have two?

Karma Arctis never belonged anywhere. A brilliant mind wasted in his parents' garage, living off resentment-fueled allowances, he drifted through life existentially numb—too sharp for the dull world, too bored to care. One day, a random paper on decision theory sparked something rare: genuine interest. He lifted it, read, and then... reality folded. Not metaphorically, but physically. He awoke inside Tier Zero, a sprawling VRMMORPG turned inescapable nightmare. Nothing made sense, his memories were jumbled up without clear order, as if a gaping hole were drilled in it and then surgically stitched together. In tier zero, there was no logout button, because the entire game was a deathtrap made by a psychopathic game developer — and subsequently, Karma and eight hundred thousand beta testers are locked inside it. If you die here, the neural feedback kills for real. The system’s cruel decree is absolute: only the player who conquers Floor 100 can unlock logout for everyone. In this tower of lethal puzzles, game-theory traps, and psychological warfare, ordinary minds fracture. But Karma? He was never ordinary. Among the blind masses scrambling for survival, this one-eyed genius becomes the reluctant king—dismantling impossible challenges with cold calculation, walking deathmatches with hands in pockets and a faint, knowing grin. A fractured squad gathers around him: the luck-plagued thrill-seeker, the crumbling streamer facade, the caged diplomat, the fang-flashing bluffer, the prodigy hiding shadows. They climb together, bonds forged in blood and betrayal. Yet every floor peels back more questions. Why does the code feel eerily familiar? Why do flashes of forgotten designs haunt his sleep? In a world that punishes the average, Karma Arctis may be the only one who can end the cage—or rule it forever.

-No rape.- The Alpha King was meant to produce a male heir. An alpha destined to be crowned the next ruler of Lunareth, the true Alpha of the Royal Pack. Instead, he had a daughter. From the moment she could understand it, Lynsandra knew her fate was never to rule, only to be given away. No matter her efforts, no matter her worth, she was not what the pack needed. So she left. She fled the Royal Pack, her father’s shadow, and the life chosen for her—only to learn that the world beyond was no kinder. Betrayed by the man she believed loved her, Lynsandra learned firsthand how easily devotion is taken for granted, and how little protection love truly offers. “Just look at you! You’re so dull, so boring! No man would want someone like you!” Lynsandra scoffed. “Watch me.” Two years later, the Royal Pack announces an Alpha Selection. Men from across the continent arrive with one goal: Lynsandra. To stand at her side, they must submit to an unconventional final trial. One that binds them not as suitors, but as something far more dangerous. The Luna’s Harem. Some come to dominate her. Some come driven by greed and ambition. Others enter for reasons of their own. None of them are prepared for what it truly means to stand beside her. In a world that never believed a she-wolf could be an alpha, Lynsandra is done proving herself and fully prepared to show them what power truly looks like.
