In the inferno of the Room of Requirement, as flames consume everything around him, Draco Malfoy faces an unexpected savior—Harry Potter's outstretched hand. In that single moment of choice, everything changes. When Draco awakens, he finds himself back at Malfoy Manor, his body transformed, his mind restored to his eleven-year-old self. But his memories remain sharp, untouched by time. Armed with the knowledge of his past mistakes and the consequences that nearly destroyed him, Draco is given something precious: a second chance. Determined to rewrite his destiny, Draco makes three solemn vows. He will free his family from the darkness that consumed them. He will bridge the impossible divide between himself and the Boy Who Lived. And he will dare to seek something he never thought possible—love, not conquest; companionship, not dominance. As Draco navigates Hogwarts anew, his path collides with an unlikely ally in Hermione Granger, the brilliant witch he once scorned. What begins as forced proximity transforms into something neither of them anticipated. But redemption is never simple, and some bonds are forged through the hottest flames. This is a story of second chances, of broken people finding wholeness, and of discovering that love—in all its forms—is the most powerful magic of all. A sweet, hopeful tale where everyone deserves their happy ending.

The legendary Field Marshal Ferdinand, the Iron Guardian and embodiment of valor, believed his tale ended when he sacrificed himself to repel the final calamity and protect humanity’s last spark of hope. He was no chosen champion of fate — only a man who struck harder and endured longer than anyone else, carrying the burden of the Garden of Eve on his shoulders. "With this... my duty has finally come to an end. O World, my final salutations to you." Yet fate defied him. Instead of death, Ferdinand awakens in the fragile body of a young boy named Kurian. At first, he longs to take life slowly, to savor this second chance in peace. Yet, even when this new world seemed calm, harsh truths came crashing down to remind him that Solaris III is no paradise. Ravaged by the great catastrophe known as The Lament, its laws of nature are fractured, spawning anomalies and granting many the powers of Resonators. But Ferdinand is no Resonator. Though stripped of power, he does not waver. For he has never been a stranger to struggle. If survival demands it, he will once again strike harder, endure longer, and fight more fiercely than anyone else. Because he is not a beginner to this concept. Now bearing the mantle of a mercenary rather than the soldier he once was, Kurian — the Iron Hound — unsheathes his weapon, ready to face the chaos. "Those who rise in the hour of battle, wielding courage over fear, are truly mighty."

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?

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..."

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?

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.

[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.

Zhang Xiyu died centuries ago. Upon reaching Hell he discovers that there indeed could be death after death. Once betrayed by the ruler when he was alive, twice betrayed by the ruler when he was dead. But those are matters of the past. The souls crying under his palm would never imagine that once upon a time, Zhang Xiyu was one of them. Lord Enma has turned away, the underworld is collapsing, and the damned spill into the mortal realm in rivers of blood. When the three princes of Hell cast him into the Kaigan Pit — the rotting heart of all nightmares — Zhang Xiyu unearths a forbidden revelation. The Blue Lotus, the ancient mother of Hell, whispers a promise: kill the princes, reclaim the throne, and restore the balance lost to corruption. In a world where every soul hides a blade, and every god has abandoned their post, only one truth remains: Hell has chosen its heir. New Update - Every Saturday!

The noble young ladies are either extremely rude or have nothing but flowers in their heads. Even in an era when such stories were rampant, there were still people who taught them.

At the age of 28, Leandro Silver dos Santos Oliveira Júnior passed away as a failure. He spent eleven years wandering from club to club and bench to bench as a bench warmer in Indonesia's second-tier league, chasing a dream that had long since given up on him. He lacked talent, motivation, and a bright future. Just a washed-up winger whose potential had been buried by his indolence and lack of self-control. Leandro's dreadful career came to an end in a car accident on a rain-drenched Indonesian road following a humiliating 9-0 loss. However, he awakens eleven years later, proving that death wasn't the end. He returned to Vila Nova, Brazil, at the age of seventeen. Where his demise started on the club's reserve team bench. Leandro is aware of the risks because he was raised by his older sister Mariana, who gave up everything to support his dream. He recalls all of his errors, squandered training sessions, and lost opportunities. And he won't allow it to happen once more. Leandro embarks on a grueling journey of self-reconstruction through perseverance and hard work, armed only with his past life's football experiences, desperation, and an unwavering fear of mediocrity. To get from obscurity to the biggest football stages in the world, he will do whatever it takes. And develop into the world's greatest football player—the World No. 1.

“Screwing ladies over and serving retribution on them is my main aim; let redemption be damned.” Tony, a very brilliant, hot, and hardworking young man, lived a hard life. Anything he wanted came only when he struggled hard to get it. Even love. And when he finally found love and trust, he was stabbed in the back very painfully. It so happened that his lovely and well-trusted newly wedded wife, whom he had sacrificed his job for, never had any respect nor dignity for their marriage and cheated on him in the worst way that broke his soul. After a horrible death that followed, Tony reincarnated into a new host and a new world, and due to his broken soul, he awakened a forbidden system... one that was: [A Maniacal System: A Path of Retribution With the Endgame of Redemption] [Seduce the corrupt] [Expose their hypocrisy] [Deliver instant karmic backlash] [Strip them of wealth and pride] [Force them to face what they inflict on men] [And redeem them… if they survive themselves] This system gave him a chance to get revenge on ladies, ladies that have no respect for love and trust, for marriages, and those that love to ruin men like he was ruined. Now Tony, in the body of Tom, plays the role of a playboy, seducing and screwing over milfs, young ladies, vixen ladies, green witches, and all who treat love like a toy, trust like trash, and men like stepping stones. But the system has one fatal flaw: It is maniacal and .twisted, and every mission completed makes Tony stronger while breaking his soul even further. Now he walks a razor-thin path between vengeance and obliteration… And only one question remains: Will he conquer the system, or will the Maniacal System consume him first?

"My lady, you don't have to use your hot divine body on him! It's not necessary! Allow me instead!" Morena said. "No! I must...! after all... it's my story... i shall lay in his bed if i can get what i want!" She laughed in a manipulative tone. ------------------ I'm just a simple high school student who loves writing. My whole life, I've devoured novels. Thousands of stories that inspired me to create my own world. Until a freak accident killed me, my best friend, and some random boy we'd just met. As I took my last breath, only one thought consumed me: I never got to finish my novel. Then everything went dark. When I opened my eyes, I stood before a god. She smiled at me with amusement and offered me a deal: to complete my story from the inside as a character that never existed in the original storyline. Before I could process what that meant, reality shattered around me. [Ding!
