Born and raised in a nameless poor village, he had no powerful family, no connections, and no privileges to rely on. When he came to Crownfall City to study law, survival itself became his daily battle, odd jobs, sleepless nights, and hunger as a constant companion. Years later, Crownfall City would come to know a name it could no longer ignore. As the founder of one of the city’s most prestigious law firms, he handles cases capable of shaking the foundations of power cases involving high-ranking officials, business tycoons, and top celebrities. Inside the courtroom, he has never lost. Outside of it, a single decision from him can save a reputation or completely destroy a career. But in a city ruled by money, influence, and dark secrets, such power is never left unchallenged. Old rivals, hidden elites, and dangerous interests begin to move from the shadows. In Crownfall City, the law is not a tool of justice, it is a weapon. And he has proven one undeniable truth. Power is not inherited. Power is seized.

In the year 2035, the world is ordinary—until it isn’t. Kael is a nineteen-year-old who has learned to survive long before he ever learned how to dream. Living with his only mother and trapped beneath the weight of poverty, his life is defined by sacrifice, responsibility, and quiet endurance. He is not special, not chosen, not powerful—just a boy doing what is necessary to keep going. That fragile normalcy shatters when a mysterious event grants superhuman abilities to people across the world, dragging humanity into an era of chaos, fear, and moral uncertainty. As heroes rise and villains emerge, Kael is forced into a reality where power is no longer rare—and choice becomes everything. At the center of this upheaval stands Zerathos, a centuries-old figure burdened with foresight and conviction, determined to reshape the world according to a future only he can see. As his actions spiral toward genocide and global collapse, Kael and those drawn into his orbit must confront a question far more terrifying than any enemy: what does it truly mean to save the world?

My Hero Academia: True Damage follows a manga fan, furious with the series’ ending, calls it a “disaster.” A god punishes him by sending him into its world. With a strange quirk, he fights alongside Deku and Bakugo, learning about their struggles. Will this change his view on the ending? A mix of humor, action, and lessons on empathy, it’s a superhero-fantasy adventure! P/s: The story release schedule is unstable due to my work, I hope everyone understands.

The story begins with a young man who went on a trip to another country for work. While he was sitting on the plane, it suddenly malfunctioned and crashed into the sea. He opened his eyes and found himself on a beach. He got up and asked, "Where am I?" His name was Abdullah. He found himself on an island. He got up and went to a tribe of strange creatures who spoke an incomprehensible language. At that moment, he was in another world. He sat down and walked and walked until he found something strange.

Caelan was born with a mark that should not exist. In a world governed by rigid laws of power and order, his mark refuses structure, hierarchy, and reason. It shifts, it hides, it bends the space around him as if reality itself were only a suggestion. As the world quietly begins to fracture and truths are buried beneath silence, Caelan feels no fear of death and no desire to be a hero. Curiosity is the only thing that keeps him moving forward. While kingdoms fight to preserve a dying system, he seeks something far more dangerous. To discover what lies beyond infinity, and whether existence itself is meant to endure or collapse.

That was what Adrian Sheva, a 17-year-old boy from the most crowded district in Jakarta, said to convince himself that delving into the chess world would be a waste of time. He didn't even bat his eyes after getting the system that would help him become the best chess player in the world. No, it is better to work in a food stall and earn money honestly. However, it seems that the people around him disagree. They all see the talent hidden in Sheva - although Sheva himself insists that it all comes from the system - and force him to go deeper into this world. As he accumulates more experiences, playing more tournaments, making new friends, and fighting against new rivals from other countries, and winning some glories for his country, slowly but surely, this game starts to grow on him. Until in the end, he finally looks back at his journey from the bottom, Sheva cannot help but smile and say, "Oh, well... It seems that this game is not as bad as I thought..."

Wretched Wicked and Vile is a dark fantasy web novel that follows the philosophical Antihero, who, lost everything due to not being among the prophesied heroes.

Hello there. You can call me Vanish, as you can probably tell from my username. This is my first real attempt at writing a story. This is an idea I’ve had for a long time, one I kept hoping another author would write someday. Since that never happened, here we are. Synopsis The main character was a well-known Elden Ring content creator, famous for his deep dives into lore and story explanations. Alongside that, he built his reputation through countless challenge runs and no-hit clears. One thing always bothered him, the fact that the firstborn demigod was already dead before the story of the game even began. One night, during a long subathon stream, he drank a few too many Monsters. Without warning, a sharp pain struck his chest, his vision blurred, and everything faded to black. When he opened his eyes again, it was to warm sunlight filtering through silk curtains and an open balcony. Additional Notes The main character will not start out overpowered. He will earn his strength over time as the story progresses. I’m a native English speaker, and this is my original fan fiction. If you are tired of poorly translated web novels, this story is written cleanly and originally. I am not concerned with power-stones or rankings. Constructive criticism is welcome if you have ideas on how to improve the story. I will also be using AI as a tool, though I will be proofreading and fixing any issues I find myself.

Now that he thought back, it had probably started back then. They day when Nox van Strier turned sixteen. Teenagers who live to experience that age, obtain a so-called stigma which helps them unleash a god's power. But what fun would it be if it was the same for him, right? The Stigma of combination, something no one had ever heard of before. That all sounds cool until you realize that there's some oganization striving around, looking for 'sacrifices' and claim to be the ones who are the true heroes. But what if they are? With the time, Nox dives deeper into the magic world, encounters tons of conflicts and finally finds himself trapped in the exact centre with no way out. Will Nox and his comrades survive? Even if the whole world, and the ones he had considered friend just moments ago, turn their back on him? You will find daily chapter uploads, great plots and a romance I bet you have never seen before on this novel. And it might turn out more entangled than it seems at first...

Summary Everything in this world is based on sustainability. Who's strong, who's weak, who'll die first… it's all on the list. And guess where I am? At the very top. A great start, right? I was a guy whose writing career was ruined by a single book. After I died. And when I opened these, I was in that failure. In the world I wrote myself. There was no initial plan. No revenge either. "Great," I said. "So I'm not the main character." Because that kid attracts trouble. Demons, conspiracies, secret societies… They all come back to haunt him. Me? I just want to survive. No heroism. No sacrifice. No epic endings. Just graduating unnoticed. But there's a problem at the Academy. The rules don't work. The rankings lie. And some disasters don't discriminate in determining who is "insignificant." I guess... it wasn't as safe as it seemed, especially when it was shut down.

"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

Carter Higgins is a renowned roboticist of the Unisys Empire, a genius who forges robots of breathtaking versatility and power As war rages between the Unisys Empire and the Hangston Union, an alien yet eerily human-like species, Carter is summoned to serve. His flagship, the destroyer-class Dominance, joins a military convoy bound for the front lines. The mission ends in catastrophe. An ambush by Hangstonian forces drives the convoy into a desperate gambit, one with no escape. Caught in the crushing gravity well of a black hole, ship after ship is torn from the stars. The Dominance is swallowed whole, along with everything Carter has ever known. Death, however, does not claim him. A mysterious elder gifts Carter a Robotics System called the Hegemonic Robotic Ascension System (HRAS), purchased from the enigmatic G8 Company. The old man gives one more gift, and with a final wish of good fortune, he vanishes, leaving Carter alone on an alien world beneath unfamiliar skies. As days turn into weeks, Carter begins to understand the truth of his situation. This is a world ruled by cultivation, where mortals grasp at immortality through spiritual roots and ancient techniques. Carter possesses none of these, yet the system grants him another path. Through steel, circuitry, and relentless iteration, he can strengthen himself, evolve, and even step onto the road of cultivation itself. What began as survival becomes ambition. With the power of the Heaven-Engine System, Carter realizes that in this world of immortals and monsters, he does not merely have a chance to live. He has a chance to thrive… and to dominate.

[WSA 2026 Entry] Julius Slatemark is the definition of a genius who has run out of things to learn. At thirteen, he has already refined his mana stars to a density most practitioners will not see in a lifetime. In the wealthy, sheltered kingdom of Slatemark, magic is a beautiful puzzle and life is a series of polite smiles. He is adored, protected, and desperately bored. Everything changes when the black iron carriages of the Namgung family roll through the palace gates. These are warriors from the East, a land scarred by demonic wars where survival is the only law. They bring a physical, instinctive power that ignores the refined mathematics of the Star System. They are not here for a diplomatic gala. They are here to see if Slatemark’s peace has made its people soft. For the first time, Julius feels the stillness of his world begin to fracture. As he stares into the eyes of a girl who sees him as nothing more than a decorative ornament, a dormant hunger finally begins to wake. The Star System he was born to master might not be the pinnacle he was told it was. In fact, it might be the very thing holding humanity back from its true potential. With a divine Qilin choosing him as its sovereign and the shadow of a devouring void on the horizon, Julius has to step out of his gilded cage. The golden prince is done playing by the rules. He is ready to find out what happens when the perfect world finally meets a hammer.

He is wicked yet magnificent, proud yet mournful—a serpent cloaked in arrogance and tragedy. With a ghostly hymn echoing through eternity, he walks again, half shrouded in darkness and half bathed in light.

When the legend sealed within the Totsuka Blade is reborn into the fragile body of a six-year-old child, the shinobi world stirs in unease. Stripped of his power but not his ambition, Orochimaru carries the wisdom of a lifetime and the hunger of a god. This time, he will not merely chase immortality—he will rewrite the destiny of the entire ninja world.

“Ethan, I challenge you!” “Are you sure?” Ethan asked calmly. “My father is the Gym Leader of Starlight City, my brother is the Gym Leader of Emberfall City. I started training Pokémon at the age of three, mastered the Art of Pokémon Warfare by five, defeated all rivals my age by seven, and retired from the battle scene at eleven. Are you certain you want to fight me? If you insist, then put up all your pocket money as the wager!” “W-wow… I won’t challenge you anymore.” Ding! “Congratulations, Host, for completing the novice mission ‘Winning Without Fighting.’” Winning Without Fighting: A powerful trainer can defeat opponents purely with presence. Achieve 10 victories without using Pokémon. Progress: 10/10. Mission complete. Congratulations, Host, you have received the Novice Gift Pack.” Hearing the system’s prompt, Ethan burst into tears. He had finally completed his beginner mission. --------------------------------------------------------- This novel is a Real World Pokémon Novel but I edited it very thoroughly that you can just think of it as just set on a fanmade region (a massive one).

“Arcane” is only a tiny reflection of Runeterra. If we step beyond the narrow scope of Piltover and Zaun— and instead live upon the continent of Runeterra a thousand years ago— how would the destinies of its heroes change? Kayle and Morgana no longer turn against each other. The wandering Kled truly becomes a cavalry general. The lost yet kind Veigar finds redemption. The lonely wind spirit Janna gains a loving companion. Evelynn, LeBlanc, Soraka, Jax… When the champions who once strode across the land become flesh and blood— with love, hate, joy, and sorrow— Runeterra transforms into a world that is real and cruel. Time witnesses the rise of Noxus—cold yet clumsy in its ambition. History paints the grandeur of Demacia—radiant, yet stained beneath its light. Beneath the Frost of Freljord lie buried secrets; within the royal tombs of Shurima, deadly mechanisms await. The Black Mist haunts the Shadow Isles; Ionia celebrates its Spirit Blossom; on the Blue Flame Isles, the sea beasts reign supreme. There are countless mysteries and wonders across Runeterra— and in the shadows, threats quietly stir. Mordekaiser, god of darkness and slaughter, sharpens his armies in the underworld. An ascended star-being plots to enslave the Dragon King beneath the distant stars. The Void Watchers gaze indifferently upon the living world. Viego, the Ruined King, sits upon his throne—mourning in eternal agony. Amid endless peril and pressure, a modern-day assassin—who knows the story of this world by heart— awakens in Runeterra a thousand years in the past, unfurling his wings to become Noxus’s supreme warlord and conqueror. When a man forges an epic with his own hands— that man himself becomes a living… Myth.
