Shen Liang has everything a cultivator supposedly shouldn’t want: a low-stress job, a modest mid-tier sect, and a courtyard perfectly positioned for naps. After years of bloody battles and near-ascensions, he cashes out of the race for glory and takes the most comfortable post he can find—sect instructor, with free housing and three meals a day. His plan is simple: teach just enough to keep his position, hide just enough of his strength to avoid trouble, and spend the rest of his time reclining under a shady tree. Unfortunately, the sect dumps all its “problem” disciples on him—trash talent, bad attitudes, last-chance cases no one else wants. Even worse, his “lazy” lessons and casual domain tricks turn out to be exactly what monsters-in-disguise need to grow. As rumors spread of a trash class that doesn’t stay trash and a mysterious instructor whose students shrug off suppression and slice through geniuses, the sect’s quiet corner becomes anything but. Internal politics, rival instructors, and an encroaching external threat all converge on Shen Liang’s little courtyard. Now he has a choice: stay low and watch his disciples get chewed up by the world… or stop pretending, unfold the domain that terrifies even elders, and prove that the laziest instructor in the sect is also the most dangerous man in the realm. After all, if fixing problems once lets him nap peacefully for a decade, that’s still efficient.

“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 own the MC but nothing else. A girl was left to point of death by those who she loved gained a powerful system that can travel worlds of tv, movies, anime, and manga with a sign-in or creation function to have an already identity in the worlds she’s going to. She vows to come back her world to get back what was taken from her and to help her corrupted world. MC is Intersex but mostly female and OP.

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.

if you like unique power systems, a deep world building, an MC who is a genius but hides it in a special school setting or an MC who hides his abilities behind a mask and builds a kingdom of loyal servants to do his bidding then you'll definitely enjoy this.

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.

The Greed after the taste of power... Beyond the farthest reaches of the cosmos churns an endless maelstrom of pure energy, a force older than time, more vast than any mind can fathom. Entire civilizations wage endless wars to claim it, for even a fragment of its power harnessed would grant dominion over all existence. Yet not a speck has ever been claimed; its raw, unbridled fury is far too immense to be contained. That is because anything or anyone that dares approach it is obliterated, erased from existence, leaving only whispers of what once was. Years later another source of power was discovered, but it was nothing like anyone imagined. Rather than a source, it was more like an evolution. The God's Ruins. It was seven ruins, discovered by the seven races, making them the seven great races. The God's Ruins were entrance to another world, where each floor of ascension means greater strength and power. But the greed for more power didn't cease. So they went back to the first power source, and which they discovered that in some years later it was going to release a little wave of energy, just capable of making anyone a godlike being... But they all were late and that wave of energy had chosen a vessel on a distant planet, whom gave birth to boy and is given the name: Nova. Nova lives unaware of the storm tied to his birth... Sixteen years later, After he finds out the shocking secret about his birth, he ran away from home to a distant planet where an unseen event made him unleash the powers within him, and this caused the mysterious forces that have been searching for him since birth to locate and capture him. Later on... He learns more about his existence, and a prophesy of him being a Cosmic Bridge — the connection between worlds, power, and the cosmos — to connect the universe together and bring peace. Nova is no longer just a boy. He is the key to stop the war that spans planets. And once his powers is fully awakened… the entire cosmos will feel it. _____ THE COSMIC BRIDGE

Crown Prince Rain Vale an heir only by title—never by heart. In the kingdom of Silverreach, omegas are meant to serve, not rule. Yet I was born the son of the consort and declared heir at birth, shattering centuries of tradition and igniting hatred in the hearts of my seven alpha brothers. To them, I am not a prince… but the moon's greatest mistake waiting to be corrected. My coming-of-age Howling Ceremony was meant to fix that mistake. A political spectacle designed to bind me to a powerful alpha and quietly strip me of power, ensuring Silverreach returns to its “proper” order. But the Moon has always loved cruel jokes. Instead of a conquering warlord, noble king, or domineering alpha, the bond binds to Caelan Moonfang—the fallen alpha of the Moonfang pack, a crippled Enigma. To my father, the match is an insult. To Caelan’s brother, it is humiliation. To the world, it is proof the Moon has lost its mind. But I knelt anyway and claimed him. Because I, Rain Vale, have never been obedient. And if the kingdoms see a mistake… I will become their worst.

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun and taming expectations. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.

“I gave you my soul in my last life. In this one, I’ll settle for your crown.” ~ In my first life, I was the devoted Queen. I waited two months for my husband, King Lauren, to return from the front lines—only for him to walk through the palace gates with a beautiful young maiden by his side and a decree in his hand: ‘She would be the new Queen’. And because of that evil beauty he brought to our kingdom, I died a discarded "nobody," executed for a crime I didn't commit. But death didn't take me. It sent me back. I woke up on the morning of his return. The crowds are cheering, the flowers are blooming, and my husband is about to humiliate me in front of the entire kingdom. But he doesn't know I've changed. He doesn't know I've returned with a special skill that makes me the most dangerous woman in the room. Before he can introduce his "New Queen," I hand him the one thing no one in this kingdom has ever dared to ask for: Divorce papers. In our land, a Queen asking for divorce is an abomination punishable by stoning. But Lauren thinks I’m bluffing. He looks me in the eye, tears my petition to shreds, and growls, “You are my wife. I will never stamp those papers.” He thinks he is keeping me trapped. He doesn't realize he has trapped himself in a palace with a woman who knows every one of his secrets—and is prepared to burn his kingdom to the ground just to see him sign his name. My goal is simple; I will make him fall... not in love, but to his knees. Since he spent my first life making me cry. I’ll spend my second making him bleed.

The universe had been split into two halves. One half contained the celestials, and the other contained the demons. The demons and celestials had always lived in a constant conflict, always attempting to eradicate the other with every chance that they got. For thousands of years, the celestials had developed new ways to oppress the demons instead of trying to co exist without conflict, for it was their nature to rid the universe of demons. Amidst the whole chaos was Dean, a young adult that lived a normal and fruitless life. From birth as a demon, he had always strived to become someone of importance, but it seemed almost impossible due to his poor ability to increase his demonic rank. During his aimless journey, he came across a wave of celestial energy that mysteriously found its way into the demonic realm. He absorbed the energy becoming half demon and half celestial. During his evolution, his view of the world changed. He was always taught to see the celestials as a foe, but ever since he became part celestial, the pure hatred that he was taught to feel towards the celestials lessened, and he couldn't decide who was worth fighting for. Will Dean stand by the demonic race, protecting them from the celestials, and ignore the fact that they had always looked down on him for being weak? Or will his anger drive him to side with the celestials and being chaos upon the demonic race?

In Layer Capital's endless dark, Jin survives on exhaustion and cheap food. His awakening comes: the system square appears in his palm, branding him Pluto-rank "Unworthy" slayer, the lowest, worthless tier.

It melts in seconds. Black liquid surges and swallows him whole, bench included. What is waiting for Jin on the other side? Who is Jin? And etc...
