I woke up inside the novel I used to criticize. Yesterday, I was a university student reading Dawn of Aether. Today, I am Aren. I am not the Hero destined to save the world. I am not the Villain born to destroy it. I am a "named extra." A background character with a pathetic C-Rank ability called [Mirage], whose original fate was to die in Chapter 5 just to show how brutal the war is. I am trapped in the Babel Academy, the last bastion of humanity against the Demon Lords. To the world, this place is a beacon of hope. But I know the truth. I know the "Golden Age" is a lie. I know the Holy Barrier is failing. And I know that traitors have already infiltrated the highest ranks of the Alliance. The "Chosen Hero" is naive. The Professors are arrogant. If the story follows the original script, everyone I see will be slaughtered before the first semester ends. I have no cheat system. No overpowered holy sword. But I have The Script. I know where the enemies are hiding. I know which artifacts are buried in the dark. I will gather the outcasts, deceive the nobles, and manipulate the war from the shadows. "Let the Hero play at being a savior. I’m just here to survive the slaughter."

Wayne, a displaced soul cast through the immaterium to the benighted world of Nostramo, rose to power as an industrial magnate of the aristocratic elite.

A modern man with an extraordinary mind dies not in battle, but from exhaustion - having devoted his life to learning, understanding, and mastering knowledge beyond ordinary limits. He awakens in another world… Inside the fragile body of a dying orphan boy named Lui Yan. There is no system. No inherited cultivation manual. No powerful family or hidden bloodline. Only a limitless soul - and a mind capable of understanding anything. In a world where cultivators rely on rigid methods, sect legacies, and inherited techniques, Lui Yan walks a different path. By observing nature, following the flow of qi, and applying pure comprehension, he begins cultivating without knowing he is doing something unheard of. Years pass. A wooden house by a river becomes his sanctuary. Breathing becomes cultivation. Understanding becomes power. When he finally steps into the world of sects, trials, rivals, and missions, Lui Yan discovers that true danger is not beasts or enemies - but the heavens themselves, which impose limits on all living beings. Through brutal missions, quiet friendships, medicine refining, and life-and-death trials, he advances step by step - never faster than he should, never slower than fate allows. This is not the story of a chosen one. It is the story of a mortal mind that refuses to accept limits. A soul that walks its own path. A cultivation journey that stretches beyond realms… beyond worlds… beyond heaven itself. This is the Path of the Limitless Soul.

Elias has spent his entire life hiding from a past he never knew — until the day the ancient flame inside him awakens. Hunted by the Order, haunted by a voice that knows his name, and saved by a stranger who refuses to reveal his own, Eli is thrust into a world of fractured magic and forgotten bloodlines. The capital city feels him the moment he arrives. The old magic recognizes him. And the enemies who destroyed his family begin to close in. Deep beneath the city lies a sanctuary built for one purpose: to protect the heirs of the phoenix line. But even here, Eli is not safe. The flame inside him is rising too fast, cracking ancient wards and stirring forces older than the kingdom itself. Every surge threatens to expose him. Every fear feeds the fire. Under the guidance of Seraphine — the last High Magister who knew his mother — and the silent, guilt-ridden stranger sworn to protect him, Eli begins to unravel the truth of his lineage. The phoenix flame is not a gift. It is a weapon. A curse. A legacy that has consumed every heir before him. And now it wants him. As visions of a burning future haunt his steps, Eli must confront the memories he buried, the destiny he never asked for, and the fracture in the magic that could destroy the kingdom — or remake it. But the Order is moving. The wards are failing. And something ancient is calling his name from beyond the fire. Eli must choose: Rise with the flame… or be consumed by it. Because the phoenix does not wait for readiness. It waits for an heir strong enough to survive it.

A slow-burn science fiction serial about consent, control, and what it really means to save a world.

#WSA2026 Light?It was always something we depended on to see within the world but that has changed. What is one supposed to do when the world is engulfed by darkness? Giving us no choice but to adapt to the world we once knew. People turn into monsters, light ceases to exist, and yet I'm left here with no idea on how to move forward. I'll never forget the woman who gave me that direction to follow. A woman with beautiful long white hair, shining brightly under the moon is all I can remember. "Rise above them all. Become the strongest and you'll never have to fear the dark." her voice echoes. I'll become the strongest... If that's what it takes to survive this hell.

A soul has been transmigrated with memories of their previous life into a world where cultivation is done through a system. Yet before they could even take a step, they were killed by a regular old fire-breathing wolf. What would you expect? And as they died yet again, their soul was trapped inside a Lotus Flower. "What now?" They thought as they floated around their pretty 12-petaled prison, not knowing what else was trapped in the Lotus besides them. Unable to die or reincarnate with their soul stuck in a flower. All that's left is to wait... and wait... and wait... ... Sooner or later, they grew tired of waiting. With no idea that a System even exists and not even possessing any sort of body, how will an average girl who makes a few too many references even become a 'Bioweapon'? Come see how the Strongest Living Bioweapon in this particular Universe grew into something legends would speak wonders about for aeons. The Goddess of Curses and Rot will ascend. ... Caution: I'm not planning on having any romance. I am planning on having action. The previously mentioned 'action' might get a little crazy insano style, or at least that is the plan. This story is connected to my other book World of Reincarnators, I will not be spoiling in what way. Enjoy. (The book cover is not mine, contact me if you want me to take it down.)

**The Problem with Neutrality? Eventually, Everyone Makes You Pick a Side.** James "Jimmy" Cartwright built his reputation on two things: solving problems that violence can't fix, and never taking sides in Birmingham's brutal gang wars. As the city's premiere fixer, he forges documents, arranges blackmail, and makes the impossible possible—for anyone who can meet his price and pass his moral code. But in the winter of 1922, neutrality becomes a luxury he can no longer afford. When Thomas Shelby arrives at Jimmy's office with an impossible deadline—save Arthur from the gallows in 72 hours—the offer comes with strings attached. Work exclusively for the Peaky Blinders, and Tommy will reveal the truth about Mary Cartwright's death, the sister Jimmy lost five years ago in a suspicious factory "accident." Desperate for answers and unable to refuse, Jimmy enters the violent world of the Shelby family. His weapons aren't fists or guns, but leverage and forgery, intelligence and manipulation. While Arthur, John, and the other Blinders solve problems with violence, Jimmy dismantles enemies with nothing but a pen and his brilliant, strategic mind. But the deeper Jimmy digs into his sister's past, the more dangerous his position becomes: **A traitor lurks within the Shelby organization**, feeding information to their enemies—and that traitor has evidence that could destroy Jimmy's reputation forever. **His sister's killer isn't some factory foreman**, but a powerful Birmingham councilman who's positioned himself as untouchable, using his political influence to wage war on the Shelbys from behind closed doors. **And Jimmy's one unbreakable rule—never kill—is about to be tested** when Tommy offers the simplest solution: a bullet in the dark, and all Jimmy's problems disappear. Caught between his principles and his thirst for justice, Jimmy must orchestrate his most elaborate con yet. He'll need to outthink corrupt police, ambitious politicians, and even the Peaky Blinders themselves. Because in a world where everyone settles disputes with violence, the man who refuses to kill must be twice as clever—and three times as ruthless. They say the pen is mightier than the sword. Jimmy's about to prove it can be far more cruel. **In Small Heath, blood is cheap. Information is expensive. And loyalty costs everything.** --- Schedule: 7 chapters/week Chapter Lenght: 3000 - 4000 words

[WSA 2026 Entry] In an age of primitive magic, humanity was shackled to the Mana Star system: a crude imitation of how beasts harness power. Julius Slatemark refused to be a beast. Driven by a vision of human excellence, he tore down the old ways to architect the Mana Rank system, a revolution that optimized the human soul and birthed the world’s first true Empire. But Julius was never alone in his ambition. Alongside Luna, the divine Qilin who chose him as the rightful sovereign, and Tiamat, a dragon refugee from a world already devoured by shadows, he built a civilization meant to last forever. Together they forged the Nightingale bloodline: a family of apex hunters designed to be humanity’s final shield. Yet the higher Julius ascended, the clearer the horizon became. The demons were not a myth; they were an inevitability. Could Julius make the correct choice for humanity or would he fail like many other worlds before him?

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.

When the name of the Marine Aren Neri begins to echo across the seas, piracy itself starts keeping office hours. From nine in the morning to five in the evening, any waters where Aren is active become a complete dead zone for pirate ships. Not because he is everywhere, but because that is when he works. After that, he clocks out. Even the unshakable Fleet Admiral Sengoku finally snaps and slams a stack of cash on the desk of the newly promoted Admiral. “Please. Just work overtime today.” Aren adjusts his glasses, takes the money, and replies calmly, “Not enough.” In a world ruled by ambition, blood, and endless battles, one man treats justice like a day job, and somehow becomes the most terrifying force on the ocean. A One Piece story where absolute strength meets absolute work-life balance, and the entire world has to learn how to negotiate with a Marine who refuses to stay late.

As everyone knows, the mainstream chakra natures in the shinobi world are Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, and Lightning. Yin and Yang are hidden natures. Chakra only has seven types—this is common knowledge in the shinobi world. Only a select few know there's an eighth hidden special nature: Space-Time. This is a power that even cheaters can barely master! Transmigrating into the Naruto world in the same class as the perfect shinobi Minato Namikaze, Gojo Yoru originally planned to become stronger by any means necessary. But after a sudden heart palpitation, he discovered he'd refined a special type of chakra and awakened the Space-Time bloodline limit. A hellish start instantly transformed into a god-tier opening. Gojo Yoru decided to show this bloodline-obsessed shinobi world what it means to be a cut above all shinobi.

The being opts to use the remainder of his time in a progressive manner and teaches Mark the ropes of Starship Engineering.

Veldra, Author of Nothing and Everything. Cast into his own story. An imagined world made real by his presence alone. Who is he? What is he? Unknown, yet Known. One below all, yet the One above all. The first of the Three Novels. An existence classified as Extremely Dangerous. Blessed by none. Yet the Blesser of all. From him, all things originate. Heavenly favour descends only upon those deemed worthy by his will. Heavenly Blessings are deemed upon the Righteous giver. And if nothing in creation satisfies his desire, what, then, shall follow? A man of emotion and catastrophe. The living convergence of Balance, Order, and Chaos. A weak man who acts strong. A foolish man who acts wise. Venerable. Prominent. Reverent. Unclassifiable. Words fracture in front of the Great I AM. Meaning collapses beneath his shadow. He overshadows all. Creator of Nothing. Yet even he is but another novel of the First One. The youngest of all spiritualities. The Reverent of the Unknown. To witness his unfolding is peril itself- terrifying to mortal perception. Lesser races were granted form. And with form, retribution. And so, a single question remains: Shall we watch? Shall we listen? And if not, what shall we do, when a being who is man, deity, and existence itself can be imagined into reality by the All‑Venerable Author?
