I'm sure most people have read novels where the main character wakes up in another world, in another body, at least once. And they've wondered what they would do if they were in that character's place. But while those characters wake up in their warm beds, why did I wake up among dozens of corpses? What's more, I became a murder suspect. Isn't that a bit much?

Dugu Feng crossed over to the Douluo Continent with his ancestral treasure pearl, arriving in the Dugu Clan. Initially, he thought having Dugu Bo as his great-uncle would mean unlimited access to immortal herbs and spirit bones. But when he discovered the Dugu Clan was divided into the Serpent Cultivation and Poison Cultivation factions—two branches locked in bitter enmity—he was stunned. At this point, he’d be lucky if Dugu Bo didn’t kill him outright. Fortunately, the ancestral pearl transformed into a Poison Core. Watch as he refines his venomous techniques, mass-produces Poison Cores, ascends as the Poison King, and leads the Poison Cultivation faction to dominate Douluo... Stealing Tang San’s opportunities and humiliating him is a must. Recruiting female companions is also non-negotiable. Additionally, this novel will creatively reinterpret some character personalities and introduce original plot twists, striving for fresh appeal. Hope you brothers enjoy it!

It didn't begin with an explosion or an eruption of violence. There weren't zombies pouring on the streets, nor a nuclear war. No. That midnight, the world changed in a more subtle way. A floating System UI opens in everyone's vision, and with that flickering light, some humans also awaken special powers. The metropolis' nightlife turns into a slaughterhouse as spirits and monsters jump out of shadows. But it would be safe to say that 70% of all deaths in the first night were caused by human hands. Noara Vasconcelos was just a lonely girl in a BDSM bar, surviving the end of another boring week, when everything went south. Suddenly, she has a class, and the bar around her is thrown into a murderous chaos. The Sixth Cycle didn't begin with heroes. It began with spiritual hunger. With spirits manifesting from emotion overload, with old myths becoming real. With Genies creating firestorms in the deserts of Arabia, with dragons chasing airplanes in the skies of Europe, with fairies dancing and reclaiming the locations where their old forests used to be. As the first nights drag on, survivors begin clustering in local neighborhoods. One of those clusters forms around a woman who can keep people calm enough to live through to the next day. That woman is Noara Vasconcelos. ::: Before anyone asks or complain - Yes, if romance will ever develop between the MC and any other character, it will be YURI. Why? Because I'm a lesbian myself, that's why. Period. No discussion allowed on that. Warning: there will be gore. There will be scenes that border R18 (but not literal sex scenes), including descriptions of BDSM-related scenes.

Nineteen-year-old Octavian Corvus arrives at the prestigious Minerva Institute armed with a year's worth of self-help research and a desperate plan: completely reinvent himself. The awkward, isolated kid from high school is history. The new Octavian has studied every social interaction guide, personality test, and relationship tutorial he could find. He knows exactly how to make friends, impress people, and navigate university life. The only problem? Real human connection doesn't work like the videos promised. When his carefully rehearsed strategies collide with actual people kind classmates, intimidating professors, potential friends with their own hidden struggles Octavian discovers that authenticity and manipulation aren't as easy to tell apart as he thought. Every social interaction becomes a choice: use the calculating tactics that keep him safe but leave him feeling empty, or risk the messy vulnerability that might lead to genuine relationships. As relationships deepen and secrets surface, Octavian must confront a fundamental question: Is it possible to build real connections when you're not sure who you really are underneath all the strategies and masks? Set in the richly imagined world of the Valerian Republic, Ascensio Octavian explores the exhausting, exhilarating process of growing up in a world where everyone is performing some version of themselves. It's a story about learning that becoming an adult isn't about finding your "true self" it's about choosing, again and again, who you're willing to be. Sometimes the most honest thing you can do is admit you don't know who that is yet.

Humanity has achieved complete digitization, with consciousnesses residing in Olympus, a virtual utopia overseen by Guardian, a superintelligent AI. Exploration of the physical universe and resource extraction are carried out entirely by legions of automated probes and rudimentary bio-robots. Kaden, a rare programmer of the nostalgic faction in Olympus, harbors an anachronistic fascination with the tangible cosmos. Exploiting an ancient system backdoor, he temporarily projects his consciousness into a prospector droid stationed in a distant galaxy, craving the experience of "reality". During one such "physical sojourn", his robotic vessel picks up a radio transmission on a planet deemed lifeless. The signal is unmistakably artificial, yet it conforms to no known human or probe communication protocol. What shocks him even more is that this is not a transmission intended for the outside world – it is something akin to the planet itself "playing back" the "memories" of its own geological evolution. Kaden comes to a startling realization: humanity may not be the only civilization to have forsaken its physical form. This planet, perhaps, is the remnant of an earlier, planet-scale civilization that transformed its entire world into a supercomputer and uploaded the consciousnesses of its entire population. The planetary consciousness is not fully extinct; instead, it lingers in a state of slow, dreamlike reminiscence.

His name is Chen Yang. Before his rebirth, he was a spoiled brat from the Fang family, one of the top aristocratic families in China. His private tutors included the principal pianist of the Central Conservatory of Music, a master of calligraphy and painting, a 9-dan Go player, the president of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, the British Royal Family's etiquette instructor, and the chief instructor of the Central Security Bureau. He once personally piloted his private jet, taking aristocratic heiresses, top-tier flight attendants, stunning models, and popular movie stars soaring through the skies.

In the shadowed forests of Terraria, where empires rise on the backs of mythical beasts and every soul awakens to a spirit dictating destiny, young Basil Pi enters the world spiritless, which is a blank canvas in a realm that measures worth by power alone. Marked only by a cryptic black star and sun on his chest, he clings to his ethereal mother Elara's teachings of magic, martial arts, and unyielding resilience, dreaming of a life beyond his "trash" fate. But tragedy strikes like a Tengu's blade: as assassins from fractured empires descend, Elara sacrifices her poisoned immortality to hurl Basil through a chaotic portal into Hell's fiery maw, absorbing the ancient Kun Peng spirit in her dying breath, which could be considered a colossal leviathan of transformation and endless hunger. Beside that, thrust into Avernus's nine infernal circles, a cauldron of demons, lava rivers, and soul-devouring horrors, the grieving boy faces horrors no child should: mauled by hellhounds, ensnared by seductive succubi who drain life through forbidden unions, and forced to wield his devouring essence not just for survival, but dominance. Traumatized yet defiant, Basil's innocence fractures under relentless violation and loss, forging a ruthless edge as he tames royal bloodlines, ascends from legendary frailty to ancient might, and builds a harem of infernal queens. But vengeance calls from Terraria's ruins for the Tengu who slew his mother, the empires that shattered his world. And also, Basil's path spirals toward cosmic apotheosis, where he must devour realities themselves to claim the throne of Logos, emperor of creation's unbreakable word. Will his fractured heart birth a singularity of perfection, or consume him in eternal void? Cultivation, Harem, Dark Fantasy, Isekai, Overpowered MC

At the stroke of midnight, the very world itself splits, and people with no special traits get involved in a difficult trial, which is only referred to as the 'Descent'—a realm in which one can live by the right of money, and fear and power are inextricably tied, while every gift has to be paid for. "Kuro Ayanagi", a man who has always been unnoticed, comes to life with a cursed gift: a blackened figure that remembers all the things he has been trying to forget. Every success day by day increases his strength—heaps up the past memories which he wants to keep hidden. In the Descent, might is never free, and he has lost forgetting as a luxury. Kuro, who has already been forced to make doubtful partners out of the other competitors—who each bear a crazy Burden of their own—has to find his way among the beasts, the altering tests, and the ruthless regulations where the power of life and death depends on trust being right or wrong. When things get tougher and the distinction between a man and a beast becomes fuzzy, there is one question that keeps coming up: "How much will he give up of himself before the shadow dictates who he actually is?" This is a gloomy development fantasy packed with emotional tension, lethal tests, and complicated ethical dilemmas. Besides that, the novel delves into themes of endurance, self hood, and the dreadful price that comes with power—all through the metaphor of taking a step forward that extracts something dear from the past.

"Special Admission, Rank 1." That was the title on the golden invitation I threw into the trash three months ago. Back then, I was the Crime Lord of Oakhaven. I had money, territory, and an ego that touched the sky. Why would a King lower himself to attend a school? I was arrogant. I was foolish. And I paid the price. It took less than an hour for a single knight to turn my criminal empire into a graveyard. He didn't just defeat me; he ignored me. I was an ant beneath the boot of a god. Broken and desperate, I used my last asset: a golden letter granting me entry to Zenith Imperial Academy as "Special Admission Rank 1." It’s a lie. I’m not a prodigy. I’m a fraud with no foundation, surrounded by the strongest heirs in the Empire who want to see me bleed. I can’t cast their spells. I can’t hold their weapons. But I can steal their lives. My Authority is [Usurper]. While they study theory, I steal reflexes. While they practice honor, I copy trauma. I am not here to learn. I am here to hunt. My targets are the "Four Calamities"—four women who hold powers strong enough to rewrite reality. They think I’m their peer. They don’t know I’m the parasite waiting to hollow them out. I’m going to make them mine. Discord: https://discord.gg/FK9GfrSjtb

A million years ago, the First Emperor vanished, leaving behind a throne that governs reality itself. In his absence, his servants stole the world, rebranding themselves as the Ancient Families and ruling humanity from the shadows. They thought the true bloodline was extinguished. They were wrong. Evan Kyros was just a starving student in the slums of New Orelis, fighting eviction and drowning in debt. But one night, the world stopped, and the Emperor System chose him. Offered the three pillars of absolute power—The Apex (Strength), The Nexus (Magic), and The Aurum (Wealth)—Evan understood that in a modern world, gold is sharper than any sword. He chose The Aurum as his foundation. Now, armed with a Tier 1 account boasting unlimited funds and an Intelligence stat breaking the human limit, Evan has the power to buy the world. But this is only the beginning. To reclaim the Throne, he must eventually unlock the full Trinity—mastering the Body and the Spell to become the true Emperor. But the Ancient Families are watching from their glass towers. Worse still, the Heirs of other Gods are descending, seeking to claim the empty throne for themselves. Forced to mask his identity while rising from the slums of New Orelis, Evan must wage a silent war where influence is ammunition and legal tender is the deadliest weapon of all. He doesn’t need to dethrone the false Kings just yet. He just needs to lay the first stone of his own Empire. Author's Note: This is Book One of the Between Worlds saga. The MC is a high-intelligence strategist who builds power through wealth, influence, and deception (The Aurum Path) before unlocking combat and magical abilities (Apex and Nexus) in later volumes. Expect kingdom-building, ruthless business tactics, and a protagonist who outsmarts the world.
