cthulhu

Shepherd, hunter, and then king. This was the life Hunter led before he transmigrated into a new world. However, he holds no memory of his past identity, knowing only that his name is Hunter Morningstar. Being an amnesiac does not exempt him from the struggles of a commoner, and in fact, he is not special at all. Tragedy strikes when his seventeen-year-old foster sister is brutally killed by a beast. Hunter witnesses the slaughter, but even worse is the revelation that follows. He awakens a power called "Blessedness," a gift usually reserved for a special ceremony. Hunter was an ineligible participant who failed to attend, while his foster sister was the one meant to participate and receive such a grace. Because of this anomaly, Hunter attracts the attention of guests who call themselves Orphans and Heirs. He cannot understand why these so-called Orphans are determined to protect him. It is clear that his life has changed forever. He was not even permitted to bury the body of his foster sister. Worse, he heard a beguiling invitation. "You shall walk the path of Selfhood and attain transcendence. This path remains hidden from the eyes of many, as we are feared by the subjects of inheritance. Come now, Hunter, and receive your new name." Yet, his path can only lead him toward a destination far beyond his expectations. Indeed, he must call it his absolute damnation.

Nine-year-old Emi Hoshino, a fourth grader living an ordinary life, has always been able to see mysterious Shadows that exist within another realm. One day, she is contacted by Lumi, a powerful Star Spirit, who offers her a magical contract. Emi learns that she is one of the rare few born with magical abilities, allowing her to perceive beings from beyond human understanding, and with that, she is given the chance to become a Magical Girl. Nervous and unsure, Emi questions the spirit and hesitates to accept the contract, frightened by the thought of what she might awaken. But when Lumi explains that these powers can protect others from the Formless Spawn and the creeping influence of the Outer Realms, Emi accepts without hesitation. Her choice binds her to forces older than the Earth, powers that shine like hope, yet draw the attention of something vast and unknowable. With her new magic, Emi soon discovers that being a Magical Girl carries an unbearable responsibility. She becomes a guardian standing between humanity and the encroaching Outer Gods, fighting entities that do not think or feel as humans do. Thrown into a hidden world of danger and wonder, Emi must join other Magical Girls to battle sinister beings, uncover forbidden truths buried beneath reality, and learn to fight together against horrors that cannot be fully understood. Along the way, Emi grows from a hesitant, tearful girl into a brave and determined hero, learning that friendship, courage, and sacrifice are the only lights strong enough to endure in a universe that does not care whether humanity survives.

Physics is dying. The world is reduced to a madman’s draft. The common sense we’ve always known is dissolving, moment by moment. Rampant cancers, a whale rotting on a peak, eyes of serpents gleaming on asphalt roads... When reality itself disintegrates, can our minds hold onto a thread that leads us through?

It refers to tabletop role-playing games. Their hallmark is the immersive experience of playing your own character, and within the rules, you can choose from a variety of open-ended storylines and endings based on your actions. Cthulhu RPGs are a broad subcategory of TRPGs. Players play the role of ordinary explorers, yet they must explore mysterious events, encounter unknown mythical creatures, and face untold horrors. The only true lesson here is that the less you know, the longer you live. Liu Xing, simply out of curiosity, wanted to run a Cthulhu RPG online, but ended up stumbling upon a real-life Cthulhu RPG.

Chen Haoran was a master con artist. For fifteen years he sold false hope, running spiritual scams that made him millions—without ever believing a word of it. His game ended with a sniper’s bullet. But death wasn’t the end. He wakes in the medieval world of Aethermoor, reborn as sixteen-year-old Aldric Ashmore. Here, reality bends under the influence of Outer Gods, whose power flows through supernatural “Chains” that twist anyone who uses them. Most people risk corruption when they seek that power. Chen Haoran doesn’t. His talent for manipulation makes him uniquely dangerous. Now, with his father dead under mysterious circumstances, debts mounting, and multiple supernatural factions circling like vultures, Aldric must navigate an unfamiliar world. Armed with psychological expertise, and absolutely zero moral constraints, Chen Haoran begins building the most dangerous cult in history—one guided by someone who understands exactly how to make people choose their own salvation while following a carefully orchestrated path toward transcendence. The faithful need a shepherd. The cosmos needs conscious evolution. And Chen Haoran needs power. Some might call it blasphemy. He calls it business. Welcome to the age of The Faithless Prophet.

Born into the Nine Profound Thunder Sect, Taiyang Leilong was acknowledged by ancestral law as a trueblood of thunder. Unlike his peers, he did not cultivate out of hunger for supremacy, nor did he chase glory or recognition. He observed, learned, and advanced with quiet restraint, appreciating beauty where it appeared and treating power as something to be understood rather than worshipped. Beneath the sect’s orderly surface, however, ancient tensions and unspoken ambitions stirred, and Leilong’s existence gradually became a variable others could not ignore. When a sudden calamity shattered the heavens, Leilong was cast into an unfamiliar world. His body remained whole, his cultivation intact, yet everything he once knew was severed. Forced to walk a new land governed by different laws, he adapted in silence, observing and enduring. While he moved as a detached wanderer, a single thought remained unshaken: the calamity had intent behind it, and one day, when the path allowed, thunder would return to settle its account.

A bullied teen gains the power to stop time and is then forcibly merged with a dead cosmic god to become an anti-hero who will tear down a corrupt empire

[ "Tell me, do you believe in ghosts?" ] That one question. That one phrase. It was both the beginning and the end for many, yet for Kenji Hakurou, it signalled a shift. The world he lived in mirrored our own — skyscrapers reaching the clouds, a world connected by the web, where progress and science have left the world of myth and belief behind. But within this shining beacon of a new age lie shadows that refuse to die of creatures that lurk in the night, unseen and hidden. Anomalies, horrors, and mythical beasts only ever seen in fiction — or beyond the scope of imagination. Mysteries remain, stories of ghosts and urban legends permeate through hushed voices. Follow this loveless batter as he fights his way through this deep, dark, and, aided by a mysterious benefactor, before long, under the control of the clandestine Choir — an organization hellbent on keeping the world secure and the supernatural hidden. Through any means necessary. ——————————————————— Current Case: 0 | Prologue Cross-posted on Royal Road Release Schedule: 1 Chapter at 7:00 AM PST | Daily

Prologue This work is a Thai novel. It has been translated into English with the aid of an artificial intelligence. The voice you hear is only a shadow of the original, but shadows may reveal what light cannot. Introduction This story is a meditation on ruin and philosophy. The further it goes, the less it belongs to the ground of men. Its form is fractured, its truths concealed. The first four chapters lie elsewhere, beyond this place. They are only a threshold. What begins here is the descent itself. A drama of grief and cruelty, of blood and silence. The tale grows darker as it unfolds, and the warning is plain: within these pages are things meant to wound. Systems hidden in the world, mysteries that coil and divide, paradoxes that gnaw against every philosophy. Read at your own peril. Yet know this—if you go on, you will not forget. Synopsis He was a man once. Ordinary, with a family. He held a small happiness, the kind that the world itself cannot abide. For the world hated him. The world sought his ruin. So it came to pass that he lost all things. No grief was deeper, no despair more complete. He became a husk in the shape of a man, staggering through the wreckage. Nothing left to guard. Nothing to keep. He tore at himself, he tore at others. He hunted vengeance like a starving dog hunts blood. He sank into wickedness because there was nowhere else to go. And in the end there was only the carcass of a beast, falling down into blackness. He found himself in another country, a place without mercy. A land of nightmare so absolute it mocked the very idea of waking. There he was changed. No one could name what he had become. Not man. Not beast. Something that stands above both. None could curse him. None could deny him. Demons shrieked when he passed. Gods trembled. The races of that world went into hiding. Even the void itself could not bind him. He would be more than flesh, more than soul. He would be a thing that rose beyond heaven and annihilation alike. He would stand beyond Nirvana, where language breaks and all meaning rots. And there, in that place, he would endure alone. Thank you for choosing to read it.

Lorn Cairn didn't find peace after death. He found Erebos: a shell world consumed by ash, spiritual decay, and the cosmic monstrosities known as the Void-Born. Reborn into a corpse's body and branded Tier Zero, he is an anomaly gifted only with the tools to survive inevitable consumption. He wields an infinite Eternal Core and the power of Omni-Mimicry to steal strength from the very horrors hunting him. Awakening in a grave, weak and hunted by what makes the ground shake, Lorn's only goal is the next breath. Survival is a curse. Ascension is mandatory. In the realm of perpetual ash, the Drifter will rise, or he will fuel the Void.
