Born a lowly worker bee, Thorn was stripped of his stinger and banished for the crime of "having a soul." But death was only the beginning. With his body broken, he fused with the ancient Void Gene. [Evolution path initialized: from level 1 worker to cosmic swarm god.] Now, with a stinger that pierces space and a fallen queen by his side, Thorn will return to the clouds. Every hive that oppressed him will burn, and every god that looked down on him will tremble. I am the Swarm. I am the end.

“The world is cruel only to those who let it be. Serve me, and I’ll give you the strength to take everything you were never meant to have… starting with what’s rightfully yours.” Leomaris. — I am Leomaris Runerth. The orphan who found his way into the renowned Xanthus family, only to be framed by its lady and executed for a crime I never committed. The Villain of Trinity, they called me. Five years in that household. Every drop of care, every maternal gesture, and every moment of attention was a performance. All of it grooming me to take the fall for their twisted desires. I died for it. And yet, by some miracle, I awakened in a Realm of Illusion — a side of this world I never knew existed. It didn’t matter. I didn’t intend to waste my second life. With servants whose loyalty never wavered, I embraced what they’d made me. A villain. And I would see to it that everyone who played a part in my death paid dearly, along with anyone foolish enough to stand in my way.

Used as a sacrifice by his own parents to save his twin brother, Ezra Ashenlocke awakens to a nightmare known as the Trial of Steel. A child-soldier operation that started with one command. “Assemble your guns. Kill or be killed.” He realizes this is no test. . . It’s a massacre. But unlike the others, Ezra gains the ability to see fragments of memories from a life lived in another world. The life of a weapons engineer, a hardened soldier who spent years designing tools of war in a different world from his. Those memories—the only path for his new body to turn from prey into predator. Now, Ezra must use everything he has learned, and everything he will learn to survive the trial and the dangers waiting far beyond it. In the land known as the Country of Alchemy, Britannia he begins his path to master the art of Gun Alchemy.

In a world where every soul is a gear in the Great Engine and every destiny is written in steam and ink, Elara is a "Blank"—a girl born without a Mark, a literal "Error" in the divine blueprints of the Ouroboros Empire. ​Destined for the scrap heap, Elara’s life changes when she accidentally integrates a forbidden fragment of the Void. Now, she possesses a power that defies the laws of physics: The Architect’s Eraser. While the Empire’s elite use Mana to build, Elara uses the Void to unmake. ​As she is hunted by mechanical Inquisitors and clockwork gods, Elara realizes she isn't just a glitch. She is the memory of the First Architect, and she has come to delete the Empire.

Karl awoke to find himself shockingly reduced to a crippled Evil God confined within a bottle. The Fischer family had inadvertently become his favored members, sharing a fate connected by blood throughout the generations. They established a secret clan, infiltrated the state, manipulated wars, ascended the God Pantheon stairway, and fought for the honor and future of the family. They were assassins lurking in the shadows, beloved scholars, esteemed priests, powerful dukes, and legends in heroic epics. From budding to robust growth, steampunk evolved; the Spirit Realm descended through dreams; witches and ancient gods stepped forth, and people listened to the lost whispers at their ears. They were both the creators and the enders of stories. Generation after generation, in a continuous succession, they marched forward. "Step over my corpse and go on," he said.

Caleb gets dropped straight into Stillwater Prison at the start of Arcane, and his first move is cutting a deal with Vi to get out alive. Once his system finally kicks in, he’s handed Hextech and alchemy knowledge—and an insane mission: stop Piltover and Zaun from going to war, and somehow make the two cities equal. What starts as a prison-break-style Arcane fix-it quickly turns into a much bigger Runeterra adventure, as Caleb goes from random inmate to Zaun’s city lord and gets dragged into Black Mist disasters, Shurima messes, Kai’Sa, Targon, Shadow Isles, and eventually Void-level chaos.

Reincarnated into Zaun and arriving right on the timeline where Vander is dead and Silco takes control—Logan doesn’t panic. He’s a transmigrator, and he came with a cheat ability. The problem is… the cheat is weird. When Logan opens his status panel, he realizes it doesn’t look like a normal power system at all. It looks like a game—complete with objectives, “routes,” and rewards that feel uncomfortably personal. Logan can handle monsters, gangs, and a city tearing itself apart. But figuring out why his new life is being treated like a dating sim? That might be the most dangerous part of all.

Steam! Pioneers! Inventions! With Dungeons! Magic! and... Livestreams? Welcome to the world of Deahelor, a steampunk fantasy set in the era of inventions.

In a vast steampunk world ruled by machines, endless resource wars, and government officials who care nothing for their citizens, humanity has forgotten the power flowing through its own blood. Known as Kynara, this magic is limited only by imagination, yet few possess the creativity to wield it in a society that relies on gears to solve every problem. After their parents vanish in a brutal war between districts, three orphans Elias, Varya, and Liora are taken in by a reclusive inventor who raises them above the iron city. As they grow, they uncover a forgotten truth; Kynara does not answer to machines but to the mind and to the bonds between people. Dreaming of ending the wars and freeing humanity from its dependence on machinery, the three set their sights on ascension to godhood. But who knows what side the gods above are truly on. Can three orphan children not only prove to the entire world that gods are not born from machines but from imagination, but also uncover and reveal the secrets hidden in the cogs and gears?

A dead man cannot die. Maybe it was obvious then that Hajun was immoral in a sense. He was a monster, in simpler terms. A corpse kept alive by a scraps of souls stitched together by a craving for blood; for vengeance. It was only right that he was forced to be a military dog for the reapers, as they called themselves. There was little a monster could say against blackmail, not when being hunted down and chopped up for parts was the next best option. But then again, he didn't expect this work to be the equivalent of running around playing detective in a cult and demon infested city.

A man named Aren washes ashore on the coast of Waldruhm with no memories and no knowledge beyond his own name, and the black runic patterns covering his entire body. The world he wakes into is coming apart at the seams. The Unified Field — the energy sustaining magic, industry, and life across all of Prime — is destabilizing. The great powers are scrambling: Aisengard tightening its iron grip, the Trade League drawing its financial noose, Waldruhm holding the line behind ancient laws and tradition, while across the world ancient forces begin to stir, awaiting their meeting with Aren. What begins as one man’s search for identity becomes a grand trial in which Aren must cross the entire world in pursuit of truth, passing through battles Prime has never witnessed. Wars, conspiracies, betrayals, atonement, monsters, beast-gods, mutants, machines, the undead — all of it becomes an inseparable part of a story in which Aren will play a decisive role before becoming the greatest and most unstoppable force the Prime has ever known.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

In the vertical, steam-driven metropolis of the Spire, reality is not a physical certainty—it is a digital ledger maintained by the elite Scripters. The city is divided by gravity and class: the gleaming High Spire hoards "Conductance" (pure energy), while the decaying Lower District survives on the thermal scraps, governed by the rhythmic "Shift" of massive, grinding gears. ​The story follows Alok, a cynical scavenger with a knack for "tuning" salvaged tech, and Arya, a brilliant but defensive mechanic. Their lives fracture when a Dead Spot—a localized void of absolute zero—begins "digesting" their neighborhood. When Alok’s friend Kael is consumed by the void, Alok discovers he can bridge the gap between energy and nothingness, resulting in a permanent, matte-grey "scar" on his arm that acts as a manual interface with the city’s code. ​As the Spire initiates "Abrasive Venting"—a genocidal protocol to purge the Lower District to stabilize the upper reaches—Alok, Arya, and a disgraced Scripter named Julian subvert the city’s physics. Through a desperate act of "Inversion," they flip the gravity of their district, turning the slums into the roof of the world and crashing into the Spire’s forbidden Core. ​Now inside the machine, they must face Master Kaelen and the Recursive Echoes of the city's founders to rewrite the Ledger before the "Gleam-Sweep" erases their existence entirely. Alok is no longer just a scavenger; he is becoming a living virus in the system, the only thing standing between ten thousand souls and a "Hard Reboot" of reality.

At the center of it all stands Safaa—a girl bound to a destiny she never chose, and the key to awakening the Watchmaker. But time is not a tool. It is a god. And every second Kairen steals… something else is taken in return. In a world of gears, fate, and silent horrors— will he rewrite destiny… or become its final victim?
