She was never chosen to save the world — she was forged to survive it. Etani is a half-fae assassin who understands the rules of survival: power is taken, mercy is punished, and every victory has a cost. She was never meant to be a heroine — only a weapon. When fate drags her from the shadows into the heart of political and divine conflict, Etani is stripped of her power, betrayed by courts and gods alike, and forced into leadership she never wanted. Each battle reshapes her. Each choice costs her something she cannot replace. As assassinations give way to crowns, and kingdoms become bargaining chips for gods, Etani must navigate brutal power struggles, shifting alliances, and enemies who would rather break her than kill her. Survival demands sacrifice. Power demands blood. And destiny does not care who it destroys along the way. This is a dark epic fantasy of ruthless survival, morally complex choices, and a female lead who does not seek redemption — only control over the chaos determined to consume her. For readers who enjoy dark fantasy, morally grey protagonists, and stories where power is both weapon and curse, Etani is a completed 12-book saga of transformation, vengeance, and the thin line between predator and prey. Content Warning: This series contains graphic violence, sexual content, torture, murder, cannibalism, domestic and sexual abuse, mental illness (including depression and suicidality), abortion, and miscarriage.

Saya has a special arrangement with a dragon. She gets tied to rocks. He gets the gold. They scam villages with fake sacrifices, overcooked rituals, and a convincing act of “damsel in distress.” She’s no maiden — just a fast-talking harlot with sharp instincts, flexible morals, and a talent for moaning on cue. He’s no terrifying beast — just a very old, very gay, very arthritic lizard with a hoard, a temper, and joint pain from shapeshifting too much in the bygone ages. It’s all going swimmingly until heroes start showing up. Cults get nosy. Other dragons get ideas. And Saya begins to wonder what exactly she's doing in a world where virtue gets sacrificed and livestock counts as treasure. A sword-and-sandals fantasy with scams, sarcasm, sensuality, and sheep.

Fuck me. I was just trying to pull my favorite character from a gacha game — Trafalgar du Morgain. The legendary swordsman. The cursed heir. The tragic side story no one cared to fix. Discarded by his clan. Humiliated by his siblings. Dead by suicide before the main plot even began. Guess who woke up in his body? Yeah. Me. Now I’m stuck in a game world that had zero lore, zero guidance, and zero chance of survival — except for the broken-ass Talent I somehow unlocked. I’ll kill, steal, lie, betray—whatever it takes. If survival means blood on my hands, then so be it. I didn’t choose this world, but I’m not going to let it chew me up and spit me out. I’ll climb over corpses if I have to. I’ll become the villain, the monster, the nightmare they never saw coming. Because in this world, there’s only one rule that matters: survive or die. And I’m not dying again. ~~~ Discord: https://discord.gg/tQ76KAUQfN

Disclaimer: The backstories of the characters are full of trauma, depression, gore, violence etc. Characters are morally complex. *** VOL-1 When the Moon is declared unreachable, most people lower their gaze. Except Crown Prince Isaiah. His obsession with the mysterious Red Moon began on a night when the infamous figure saved the very people who attempted to assassinate him but instead of seeking revenge or capturing the traitors, Isaiah found himself chasing that one person. But Isaiah didn't know the truth at that time. The Red Moon he pursued was a legend named Crimson Moon Waterfall — A Courtesan known for his unmatched beauty, his forbidden dance, and his unrivalled strength. And thus, The butterfly has decided to chase the impossible. But the impossible has chosen to run. VOL-2 When their relationship took a good turn, the world's future took a bad turn. Will their newly formed relationship last in the dark Era of Apollyon? VOL-3 The peace was restored in the world, but not in their relationship... Secrets, lies, and old conflicts began to rise. The legend Isaiah chased was never as simple as he believed. His beloved moon was connected to the same existence that once killed him. And as the truth slowly unfolds, their past returns to crush everything they built. Yet everything ended in a very unexpected way. **** I upload every week on Saturday or Sunday ( except the last week of every month. ) Extra tags: #Obsession #Slow Burn #psychological #weaktostrong #complicated power dynamic #betrayal #apocalypse #reincarnation (This is also going to be slight reverse harem.) *** If you want to talk about this book please join the discord server!

The light that will eat out all the darkness in the world. Zoe, the most powerful light wizard in existence, is nearing her death. She's already over 10,000 years old and no man was able to capture her heart. The only partner she had was her cat. Her cat's name is Beru. Its color is black with a shade of emerald green. Its eyes are as hollow as the abyss. There's no pupil, no color at all. Looking at it will make you see the past and the future. Sitting in her chair made out of adamantium, the god mineral. She is reminiscing about her past. How she struggled from being an orphan, to being a slave and finally after being recognized having affinity with mana, she was saved and was taught about magic. Her breathing is getting rough. Her body is collapsing and her eyes are barely open. With her last breath, she uttered her last will to her precious cat. She said, "Find the most promising creature and impart to it all the knowledge that I have accumulated over 10 millennia." The cat did not respond, instead it only stared into her eyes. Zoe passed away with only one regret and that would be not experiencing what normal humans do, falling in love, having kids and growing old with someone she loves. Now that Zoe is gone. Beru is now the only one left inside the castle. The castle is located at the top of the tallest mountain in the north. With its harsh climate, having a temperature of minus 100 Fahrenheit (minus 100 celsius). There were countless adventurers who tried to explore the tallest mountain, hoping to encounter treasures. But what awaits them are the creatures hideous enough to scare the shit out of them. Those encounters with the monsters spread to all adventurers and no attempt was once again made to explore the North.

Heath Dollen was a man in his 40s who lived in a suburban complex in Lund, Sweden. He was lonely and spent most of his days tending to himself after an accident that had left him scarred for life. Even so, he had travelled throughout Europe and Asia, painting and writing avidly about his experiences. When he is not in his apartment, he does his best to give warmth to others around him, helping people around his neighbourhood, aiding in light labour, cleaning the environment, and donating much of his money to those in need. Heath saw the downtrodden teen Elias drop his phone on accident from the other side of the street, so as to help, he thought of buying a new phone for this young man. He introduced himself and after gaining their trust, Heath and Elias became good friends and even got nicknamed 'uncle.' There, he was introduced to many games, specifically sandbox games. It was slow progress, but his life became more fulfilling than ever. Now he had a family to look forward to! But at one point, while Elias was helping with Heath's troubles, he spotted a man who appeared lost, walking across the street in traffic, yet was somehow never hit with phantom-like grace, Heath said aloud that they should be careful there and asked if they needed assistance. The man, that 'thing,' turned to him. Now walking towards Heath robotically, yet avoiding the vehicles like a phantom, they soon came upon him. Once close enough, its features were noticed: A beautiful, yet uncannily androgynous face, eyes that appeared too clear and glassy, and skin that was too perfect with no features of wrinkles or pores and no hair throughout. A voice that sounded harmonic with the world spoke, yet their mouth never moved. "Perfect." A melodic sound, one expected for a tenor, it captivated Heath but simultaneously scared those around him, then. . . Suddenly, Heath blacked out. Hearing the cry of Elias for him. He left this world.

After dying in a modern world 'Intentional' accident 55 years ago, as a modern university student. Kagen woke up inside the body of Prince Cassian Valemont — the infamous villain prince of the Holy Empire of Edrath. From a dark fantasy novel his sister loved the most. In the original story, the prince becomes corrupted by forbidden shadow magic and is publicly executed by the empire’s war hero, Sir Lucien Arden. And Kagen remembers only one thing from his sister's summaries: “The prince dies horribly.” Determined to survive, he avoids cruelty, stops provoking nobles, and tries to stay away from forbidden magic. But there is only one problem. He has already transmigrated before. Again. And again. And again. Every timeline ends the same way: betrayal, political manipulation, forced royal marriages, pregnancy used as political control, and finally execution at the hands of Sir Lucien Arden...all the damn time. At first, Kagen tried everything to survive. He acted kind. He acted obedient. He ran away. He exposed corruption. He avoided forbidden magic. He even sacrificed himself for the kingdom. But nothing changed. Every path led back to death...with Sir Lucien's blade. So eventually, Kagen stops trying to become a good person nor a bad person, he stops trying at all if it means surviving as Cassian Valemont. At least until he finds his way back home and strangle his sister to death for switching his ritual patterns and led him into this world instead. But during all that idleness, will Lucien sit by and watch him from afar while he does nothing with his life or will he hunt him down and get closer to him in this turn too?

-synopsis- Ren, a youthful Japanese man in his final year of high school, has experienced things differently from other people throughout his life. He could inexplicably tell if someone was lying, pick a card pack with the best hit in it every time, and somehow get full marks on some tests while doing poorly in others. It was truly bazar to others as they couldn’t determine if it was luck or skill, and neither could he, but everyone else eventually came to the same conclusion, that Ren was creepy. People avoided him, tried to bully him, and wanted to use him for their own benefit. This led Ren to grow up with an aversion of forming deep relationships with people out of the fear that they’ll react negatively towards him once again, thus always keeping others at arm's length. Only his mother showed him what it was like to truly love someone, doing everything she could for her beloved son. After relocating to a big city before starting high school, Ren did his best to fit in like a normal person, not wanting to make his mother worry, and always played along with her whims. He now participates in school actively, and has even made friends, even if they aren’t the deepest of friendships. Ren always knew he was different, he just didn’t know how different until he finds himself suddenly face-to-face with a God. -comments- I had a few goals for writing this story, but this will come to light way down the line (probably in several years). I decided to go in the opposite direction from plots of similar stories. That's why I'll get most of the romance out of the way in the first 2 parts (loose plan). The rest of the parts will focus on world building and action. If you think the protagonist is overpowered at the start... -the picture is AI generated and not an accurate reflection of the story. -I am a fulltime worker who writes irregularly and slowly (physical typing speed). I write when I can and will post once monthly. -nudity is depicted, but it is not of the 'ecchi' genre (hate panty shots and needless fan service that doesn't add to character development). -Intercourse happens but is not detailed. -this is a war stricken world, so unsavory things happen. Please keep that in mind for things unsaid but implied. I try to keep things as lighthearted as possible while trying to keep it as realistic as possible. -I wrote this as if watching it in my head, which influenced the writing style. Such as when reading novels, if there are multiple characters, I sometimes find it hard to distinguish who's talking as I can see multiple characters saying what was written. I decided to always make it clear who's talking, so it turned into a book/script/anime hybrid. -any feedback, including typos, are much appreciated. Upload Schedule: 1st of every month (wish I had time to do it more frequently, but alas, responsibilities. I am not writing to become an author, but only for myself and my own mental health. If the opportunity presented itself, sure, why not? However, I can't justify the risks for pursuing something I don't have an absolute diehard passion for. I have immense respect for those who can pursue it and overcome the obstacles. I sincerely apologise to anyone reading it in its early days and wishes for more content. I only thought of stories for myself for many years, but I found myself forgetting parts of my stories. That's why I decided to write them down and record them online, leaving a piece of me out there for hopefully eternity. My goal is not short-term, but very long-term. I just hope that someday, long after I'm gone, someone will read my work and they were happy that they had done so. Just the thought of that makes me content. I hope you understand that I would only upload more frequently and pursue a career in this if my work profoundly resonated with people, so much so that it basically forced me to be an author.

With the rising tide of steam power and machinery, who can come close to being a Beyonder? Shrouded in the fog of history and darkness, who or what is the lurking evil that murmurs into our ears? Waking up to be faced with a string of mysteries, Zhou Mingrui finds himself reincarnated as Klein Moretti in an alternate Victorian era world where he sees a world filled with machinery, cannons, dreadnoughts, airships, difference machines, as well as Potions, Divination, Hexes, Tarot Cards, Sealed Artifacts… The Light continues to shine but mystery has never gone far. Follow Klein as he finds himself entangled with the Churches of the world—both orthodox and unorthodox—while he slowly develops newfound powers thanks to the Beyonder potions. Like the corresponding tarot card, The Fool, which is numbered 0—a number of unlimited potential—this is the legend of "The Fool."

Elric Voss is sixteen years old, two ranks above useless, and he wakes up one hour before everyone around him dies. The Caelith Mourne expedition has camped at the base of a sky-fallen pyramid ten thousand years old, and something sealed inside it has finally been disturbed. When the ground splits and the demons come, the thirty-one members of the expedition are dead inside of ten minutes. Elric wakes up again. Same tent, same wind, same pyramid filling the sky. One hour on the clock. He dies to the first demon in seconds. Then again. Then again... Magus Infinite is the story of a young acolyte who has nothing, no great power, no secret destiny, no teacher who believes in him, grinding the same hour of carnage until nothing in it can kill him anymore. Every death teaches him something. Every reset sharpens him. The spell that begins as a candle-flicker becomes a bolt that cracks the sky. The boy who could not survive two seconds against a single demon slowly becomes the only thing standing between the pyramid and the world outside it. The action never stops. Neither does Elric. This is not a story about a chosen hero. It is a story about what repetition does to a person. Join the discord. https://discord.gg/rrBjm4dvy

On one fateful day, they started dreaming.

"Joyous is the first ordeal, for the Seers will leave their debts behind. Stainless is the second ordeal, for the Believers will leave their flesh behind. Luminous is the third ordeal, for the Sayers will guide their slaves behind. Radiant is the fourth ordeal, for the Oracles will leave their mortality behind. Difficult is the fifth ordeal for the Diviner will leave their senses behind. Confronting is the sixth ordeal, for the Oracle will leave their reality behind. Limitless is the seventh ordeal, for the Ordainer will leave their morality behind. Lifwin sought companions, yet the other prophets' flames were brighter than his own. And if the flies do not come to him by themselves, the countless lamps in the darkness would begin to go off one by one... And Lifwin will certainly not die." Equinox, the story's center earned a gift from the heavens called The Dear Friend of Creation, Lifwin. But how could the heavens grant this prophet such a suspiciously pure gift right after he had just pushed people to their deaths?

A person's perspective plays a vital role in developing one's personality. What happens when you realize the world you live in is the same as a Novel. Zero Elea gets a Skill called Parallel Memory which allowed him to get the memory of his alternative self of a different universe. He realizes that the world he lives in is similar to the novel he used to read in his alternative world. The world will face catastrophe in the future but there is no need to worry as there is a main character working hard to save the world. And what about me? I am but a mob character. ======== Discord Link: https://discord.gg/taRUJMkDrc
