He almost died once, lost a few friends, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning. "So dumb," the devil voice in his head whispered in disdain, "How more idiotic can you get?" "As far as idiocy goes deep," Lucian answered, accepting the new path of his life, "And it goes deep. And wide."

Yun Che expected many things after death. Becoming a thirteen-year-old blacksmith’s son in a cultivation world was not one of them. In the mountain city of Mistforge, strength decides survival. Sects recruit geniuses, beasts roam the frozen wilds, and ancient bloodlines hide beneath forgotten names. Yun Che has no legendary master, no divine treasure, and no interest in blindly following someone else’s path. What he does have is a blacksmith’s hammer, memories of another world, and a dangerous talent for turning impossible ideas into weapons. Armor. Rifles. Cannons. Puppets. Monster transformations. While other cultivators inherit ancient techniques, Yun Che intends to build his own road—one rune, one invention, and one battle at a time. But beyond Mistforge’s walls, the world is far larger and far crueler than he imagined. And something in the Abyss has already noticed him. First Part: Yun Che's Journey Second Part: Sect Establishment Slow Paced. Single Pairing

Humanity's only hope now lies in Galaxy Fall, a newly accessible parallel world where they can gain strength through a System of quests and missions. ​Five hours after the Invasion, the betrayed survivor Mirabella is mysteriously reborn and gains a unique power: the [Master Account System]. Her initial skill is the deceptively simple but devastating 'Multiplier x100', which applies a 100 times buff to all her offensive capabilities, including physical attacks, spirit energy skills, and damage-over-time effects. ​Mirabella must now transform from a silent survivor into the world's most feared warrior, who was only scared of one thing, which is? "I Hope I don't run out of opponents in Both worlds."

Haruto was just an ordinary high schooler trying to survive after his father’s business collapsed and left behind massive debt. Then the memories started coming. Memories of masterpieces from another world, stories that had never existed in this timeline, yet had the power to make millions laugh, cry, and lose sleep over fictional characters. So he picks up a pen and starts writing. From the bittersweet romance of Blue Spring Ride to the emotional devastation of Anohana, Haruto claws his way up the cutthroat light novel industry one tearjerker at a time. His readers adore him, curse him, and still buy the next volume anyway. Unfortunately… he still has many stories left to tell. —————— MC branches out to manga, anime, games and others as the story progress. He only writes script for them. He writes novels till the end.

Yuuji Rito, a person who enjoyed his peaceful life and everything he could ever wish for, is mistaken for someone with a similar name and taken to the world of To Love Ru. Used to doing nothing, Yuuji is now bound to a success system that forces him to move with a purpose. Even worse, this system draws rewards from a Chaos Gacha of the multiverse, which not only grants him the strangest abilities he has ever seen but also makes him attract chaos passively, without being able to do anything to stop it. Now, Yuuji will try to navigate the already chaotic plot of To Love Ru and the chaos his system keeps attracting, seeking a moment of peace in between. ~Disclaimer: This is a fanfiction story based on To Love-Ru, a work by Saki Hasemi and Kentaro Yabuki.

Every five hundred years, darkness returns to Neptunia. When magical corruption reaches its peak, the Demon King is reborn, and the Chosen Hero, blessed by the Archangel Uriel, rises to stop him. This cycle has never failed. Until now. Using a forbidden relic that reveals the future, Uriel witnesses a catastrophe: twenty years from now, Neptunia lies in ruins, the Hero is dead, and the Demon King sits upon the throne of a fallen world. The reason? A curse. The White Witch has stolen the Hero’s power before the final battle. Uriel, greatest strategist among the archangels, realizes this future can still be changed. Not through divine intervention. Not through another chosen one. But through a single ordinary human from Earth. No legendary bloodline. No hidden power. No heroic destiny. Only one impossible mission: Find the White Witch. Stop the curse. Save the Hero. Change the fate of an entire world. Wolfheart is a dark fantasy isekai about fate, sacrifice, and the idea that even an ordinary person can leave a mark on history. My book will also be available on Royal Road.

Academy slop?. Academy slop. (author - just doing this for fun.)

Ereshgal was born under omens—marked by the gods, worshipped by mortals, destined to rule. But even a crowned godling fears death. Desperate to escape his fate, he defies the divine and drinks from a power older than the heavens themselves—crimson, cursed, eternal. Now immortal, he walks through centuries haunted by blood, betrayal, and the price of what he’s become. This is the story of the first vampire. Of the king who chose damnation over death. And of the world that will burn because of him.

The horror game 'Obelisk Aperion' has descended on the world and has selected Zephyr Reid, a random cook, as its next victim.

Now that it's Zephyr's turn to become the next 'Lab Rat' of this incomprehensible and irresistible power, how long will he be able to survive? The only grace he has is that, unlike others, he has a hint system to help him out! (NO-HAREM, OVERPOWERED MC, AND DIABETIC ROMANCE!!) .

Ervin slumped at his desk, the glow of his monitor the only light in the room. "My life is utterly pathetic," he muttered to his computer, his character idling in his favorite MMO. "Not like you. You're living in a paradise, aren't you? No job, no rent, no people to disappoint." A bitter laugh escaped him, and without realizing it, his eyes began to well up. He had hit rock bottom. Fired from his job just when he needed money the most, evicted by his parents, and now facing an empty stomach. All he had left was his aging computer and the decade-old digital character that felt more real than his own life. "Damn it..." He pushed away from the keyboard and collapsed onto the desk, his face buried in his arms. "I just wanted one chance... one real, honest-to-god opportunity. If I had that... I-I know I could be exceptional." But Ervin didn't notice his computer screen beginning to glow with an unearthly light. Nor did he immediately register the soft, melodic voice that seemed to emanate from it. "Please don't cry, Ervin... You have given me so much. I believe it is finally my turn to repay you." The next morning, Ervin jolted awake in his bed, covered in a cold sweat. Something was immediately and profoundly wrong. He could see his own hands in front of his face, but he also saw... himself. A second field of vision hovered above him, a detached, third-person perspective like he was a character in a video game. ======================================== Disclaimer: this novel may go a bit crazy, but i hope ya'll like crazy haha! Inspired by Lookism and.... a bunch other Korean works really. ENJOY!!

"I had once rejoiced; gradually, I became unmoved by the world. Now, only the monolith remains." In his first life, Kyros Vancroft was a Monarch who mastered the elements, only to lose everything to the 'Righteous' Celestials. Before the golden blade could sever his head, he initiated the forbidden Chrono-Covenant of the Void. The price was absolute: his emotions. His heart didn't break; it became a monolith cold and immovable. Now awakened in his ten-year-old body with five centuries of forbidden knowledge, Kyros views life as a grand calculation. No plot armor. No mercy. Only the cold, hard efficiency of a man who has already seen the end and is willing to rewrite the laws of Heaven to change it.

Reincarnated into a world of magic and monsters, Victor didn't become a heroic knight or an all-powerful Archmage. Instead, he woke up as the Principal of the Abyssal Academy—a bankrupt, crumbling school for the continent's worst villains, dark mages, and assassins. The teachers are embezzling funds. The students are trying to assassinate him daily. And the "Heroes of Light" are planning to raid the school and execute everyone in thirty days. But Victor isn't sweating. In his past life, he was a ruthless corporate tycoon, and he just awakened the [Tycoon's Ledger] System. He doesn't need to fight with magic; he fights with capitalism. A student tries to stab him? Victor survives and charges them a 5,000 Gold "Practical Exam Fee." The Heroes of Light are invading the campus? Victor sells the broadcasting rights to the Demon Realm and opens a massive betting pool. Armed with his ledger, a cold heart, and a brilliant mind, Victor is about to show the magical world that the most terrifying power isn't a Tier-9 Fireball. It's compound interest. Welcome to the Abyssal Academy. Your tuition is due.

Su Ming was a regular office worker. Then one bad day (and one fatal overtime shift) later, he woke up in the Heavenly Cloud Sect, one of the greatest cultivation sects under the heavens. Sounds amazing, right? A fresh start, endless opportunities, beautiful mountains, flying swords, except… His master had already vanished. His new title? Peak Master of White Lotus Peak. White Lotus Peak’s glorious legacy? Dust, an incomplete cultivation technique that nobody understands, and exactly zero disciples. No resources. No prestige. No future. And to make matters worse, he was already a cripple - on a ticking clock. … Su Ming rubbed his temples. “Really? Out of all the possibilities, I get this?” He sighed. But if the heavens thought he would quietly play the role of a washed-up cripple, they clearly underestimated an overworked office worker who had binge-read far too many cultivation novels. Follow our Peak Master as he stumbles, schemes, and occasionally slashes his way through the mysterious world of cultivation—amid heaven’s chosen, young masters, villains, and “protagonists”… all while uncovering the so-called mysteries of the great Dao.
