Metropolis in Ruin: Surviving Apocalypse With a System

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.

My Father's Last Transmission Led Me to Hell

WHAT IF EVERYONE AROUND YOU COULD BE SYNTHETIC—AND YOU HAD NO WAY TO TELL? I decoded my father's final transmission. I wish I hadn't. Synthetic humans are real. An AI facility beneath Colorado is producing perfect infiltrators. They've been placed across the wasteland for years. Anyone could be one. Your commanding officer. Your best friend. The person sleeping in the bunk next to you. My father—Ranger Marcus Chen—discovered this fifteen years ago. He tried to expose it. They killed him. His final transmission was corrupted, classified, buried. The one part that mattered—how to identify synths—was destroyed. Now I'm being deployed to the same place that killed him. With no way to tell who's human. I'm Kai Chen. Here's what I have: - A gift for languages (fluent in six, learning languages in days instead of months) - Rapid learning ability (I acquire skills 5-10x faster than normal) - Trust issues (everyone is a potential threat) - My father's encrypted letters (still can't fully decode them) - A burning need for answers (and maybe revenge) Here's what I'm facing: - Brutal Ranger training designed to break me - A conspiracy that goes to the top of command - Synthetic infiltrators who might already be in the Citadel - A mission to Colorado that's obviously a trap - The frozen wasteland that took my father's life Here's what I know: - The Patriarch is inviting Rangers to Colorado for a reason - People who investigate the synth conspiracy end up dead - I'm walking the same path that killed my father - Some truths are more dangerous than the lies that cover them My father's last words: "Tell Kai I'm sorry." I'm not sorry. I'm finishing what he started. Even if it kills me too. ---

Primordial Null Nexus: I can comprehend and cultivate all paths

In a world where power is ranked from F to SSR, he was branded a failure. In a universe where cultivation is forgotten, he became its last heir. Two hundred years after the Great Awakening filled Earth with cosmic energy, society runs on a simple, brutal logic: your Talent Tier is your destiny. Robert Walton, a seventeen-year-old with an F-Tier "Null" rating, isn't just at the bottom—he's a societal ghost, the ultimate punching bag for bullies and a disgrace to his struggling family in the fortified slums of Nova-7. His life is a constant cycle of humiliation, until a shard of obsidian crystal from a lost reality crashes into his scrapyard. It doesn't contain power. It contains a teacher. Lin Zhong, an ancient guardian spirit from the primordial world of cultivation, awakens within him. While the elites of Nova-7 flaunt their flashy SS-ranked ice and time manipulation or SSS-tier martial flames, Robert is taught a forgotten truth: their "powers" are cheap copies. He is offered the original blueprint of reality itself. His "Null" status isn't a weakness it's the perfect blank slate to learn the foundational laws of existence: density, gravity, silence, and chaos. Guided by his sarcastic spectral master and aided by a stone-jawed lynx with a secret royal bloodline and a shrinking habit, Robert must walk two worlds. By day, he navigates the treacherous hierarchy of a fortress city under siege from mutant beasts, hiding his growing power. By night, he cultivates, learning to harvest energy from trash and storms, turning society's waste into the building blocks of a legend. His goals are simple, yet monumental: protect his family, shut up every bully who ever looked down on him, and pass the Unified Academy Entrance Exam to win a better life. But to do that, he’ll have to stand beside and eventually against the dazzling prodigies of his generation: the elegant ice-wielding heiress, the fiery martial artist, the charismatic golden boy, and the lightning-fast troublemaker who sees a kindred spirit in Robert's quiet defiance. They have wealth, legacy, and world shaking power. Robert has a head full of alien physics, a pocketful of primordial pills, and a simmering, cunning will to protect his family. But the crystal that chose him is a relic of a war that shattered heavens. The powers that killed Lin Zhong and shattered his world haven’t forgotten the treasure they lost. And as Robert’s impossible strength begins to glitch the system, he draws eyes not just from jealous bullies, but from hidden entities that recognize the signature of a power that should not exist. As Robert unravels the true, decaying nature of his world and the dark mysteries lurking beyond the city walls, one thing becomes clear: the system that labeled him trash is about to get a glitch it can't debug. He was told he had no talent. He’s about to show them that true power isn’t about what you’re given it’s about understanding the rules well enough to rewrite them all.

Greatest Of All Legends

“Who is the football GOAT?” A question that has been asked countless times in the last decade. Is it Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? To be fair, the question actually depended on what one wanted from a player as they were two different people and they played differently from the other. This was also the case with every other legendary player to grace the game. As a diehard fan of the game, Jason Bolu also had someone he thought to be the goat, but unlike most people, he harbored the desire to not only become as great as them, but even greater than any legend that ever graced the game. He wanted to become the Greatest Of All Legends… the GOAL. Unfortunately, fate has never cared about people’s hopes and dreams, and just like every other unfortunate human, she hit him hard across the face with a broken reality and sent him flying in another direction from his goal, yet he didn’t give up and continually persevered but, in the end, he didn’t ever make it. He wasn’t even halfway near his goal. He thought it was over… but it wasn’t. He got another chance at his dreams, and this time he was going to do more than his best to achieve his dream. *disclaimer* There is no system or cheats, just plain hard work and a past life of experience.. Also, despite the use of real-life characters, places and things, this is an artistic creation in which things wouldn't be as they are in real life so don't be surprised at some things that are unrealistic and out of place e.g. exact details, attitude of characters etc. This is a slow-paced novel.

I Reincarnated… and Became the One Above All

When death becomes a doorway rather than an end, Raziel Ælnoûs awakens as an existence beyond definition—a being who designed his own rebirth. Untethered from noble bloodlines, gods, or fate itself, Raziel enters a world scarred by an ancient Great Cataclysm, where reality fractured, Outer Gates began to appear, and the mythical ABSOLUTE TOWER OF OUTER REALITIES descended upon existence. Guided by the GREAT SYSTEM, a system that does not bind but reveals, Raziel possesses absolute authority, infinite potential, and powers sealed only by his own will. While others struggle to climb the ladder of strength—from city-shattering warriors to low-multiversal elites—Raziel stands as something else entirely: an unknowable constant observing a fragile world. Accepted into the divine ACADEMY, a sanctuary of heavenly palaces and ancient technology, Raziel hides his true nature among first-year students, each gifted and powerful in their own right—yet infinitely beneath him. As Outer Gate trials loom and the Academy Test approaches, fate begins to bend around his presence. Monsters evolve. Laws tremble. And even gods feel unease. But Raziel does not seek domination. He seeks understanding. As the Tower watches, realities converge, and sealed truths begin to stir, one question echoes across existence: What happens when the one who stands above all finally decides to climb? This is not a story of growth. It is the story of inevitability.
