Blurb: He was once mindless trash. Vermin. An Imp. No name, no purpose. No future. He was supposed to die in the Maw like the rest. Mindless, crawling meat for something stronger to chew on. But something broke. A spark buried itself inside him... something ancient, older than Hell itself. Now he can see. He can think. He can Evolve. Hell doesn't know it yet, but the bottom just stood up. And he's hungry. Synopsis: The lowest demon in Hell. An imp without thought, spawned from filth, born for slaughter. Then he devoured a glitched system shard, something that shouldn’t exist in Hell. It gave him thought. It gave him power. It gave him the chance to evolve. Crawling through a realm of endless death and rot, he forced open a path to Earth. But in the year 2125, Earth isn’t what it once was. A hundred years ago, the Convergence shattered reality. Dimensions merged and the Dungeons fell. Civilization ended. Now, after a century of struggle, the Five Kings rule what's left, each carving out their own empires with overwhelming power. Like the Beast Taming King, who controls what was once Africa. His lands teem with monsters. Users flock to farm his dungeons, capturing beasts, gather rare materials...if they can survive, and don't forget to pay tribute. Or the Undead King, who holds what was once Europe and Russia in an iron grip. Endless legions of the dead serve him, his people loyal and fanatical. Behind an iron mask, he enforces absolute authority. A tyrant, loved by his people, living or dead. Everywhere, system users chase their own power. Shards grant anything from petty stats to world-shaking destinies. Everyone sees themselves as the hero, the protagonist of their own story. All of this is maintained and guided through the Network, a system-spanning infrastructure no human can escape. It ranks, registers, and controls. But not everywhere. Beyond the king's territories lie the Freelands, lawless zones they can’t or won’t hold. Here, gangs and corporations carve up ground while dimensional rifts swallow entire city blocks, wild dungeons drop without warning, and violence is the only law. He shouldn’t even exist in the Network. He’s not human. But his shard is corrupted...tainted. He slips through its firewalls, unregistered, unranked and free. Consuming the life and identity of Wohan Seo-jin, a system user and gang boss on the drowned coast of what was once Korea, he takes everything: his face, his memories, his men. Now he owns a foothold in the human world. And he plans to keep it. Survival isn’t enough. There is too much to want, too much to take for his own. System users, demons, dimensional races, even gods, he’ll push past every limit, evolve beyond every threat, and claim everything he desires...no matter the cost. #Litrpg #DarkFantasy #Grimdark #ProgressionFantasy #Post-apocalyptic

THE INTRODUCTION ARC ENDING SOON SO I WILL RETURN ON NOVEMBER 15 TO FINISH THE ARC AND TO WORK ON THE OTHER CHAPTERS AT MY OWN PACE. In the vast world of Terra, life clings to the shadow of the Spiral. A colossal, living tower that stretches endlessly into the heavens. No one remembers when it was built or why it exists. To most, it is a god; to others, a curse. The Spiral hums with light, emotion, and laws that twist reality itself, drawing the brave and desperate into its depths, or heights. In search of meaning, salvation, or power. When a young girl named Lyra witnesses a boy fall from the Spiral. A being not quite human, but her world starts to fracture. His body is mangled beyond repair, yet somehow alive, infused with a power foreign to the laws of Terra. As her people rush to save him, their intervention unknowingly sets off a chain reaction within the Spiral itself. An awakening that begins to warp everything it touches. Drawn by fragments of memory, voices from a forgotten age, and the impossible beauty of the structure above, Lyra and those around her become entangled in a mystery far older than civilization. The Spiral is not just a monument. It is a test, a conscious labyrinth that reshapes those who dare to ascend. Between light and ruin, gods and ghosts, the boundary between human and creature begins to dissolve. And as the Spiral’s true purpose unfurls, Lyra must confront a question older than the world itself.

Trigger Warning: This story contains strong emotions, terminal illness, betrayal, and mature themes. Read at your own comfort. Minato thought marriage meant love, trust, and a future together.

Betrayed. Dying. Minato has no tears left. With death slowly approaching and his heart completely destroyed, he makes a final decision: If love ends like this… then I will leave this world without anyone knowing my pain.

Or will his last date truly be his final goodbye?

This would be No.5 of Gamer Path, starting with a new MC after the previous one. The story tells of this path that opens to the world of the Pokemon Adventures series. The danger is constant, always filled with those in power doing as they please. Unlike your usual Gamers, this one chose a hard challenge as he requested to have the bare minimum of a Gamer System like those in Pokemon Games 'MENU' and an Arc Phone. After all, for a game, it needs to be challenging. And what better challenge in becoming a Pokemon Trainer than to rely on their abilities... "I wanna be the very best like no one ever was... a Pokemon Master."

He was never supposed to become her husband. Yuuta Kounari was nothing more than an ordinary culinary student living a quiet life on Earth until a mysterious Dragon Queen appeared before him and declared that he would become her husband. There was only one problem. She had no intention of accepting him. To Erza Veyla Dragomir, the White Dragon Empress of Atlantis, Yuuta was merely an accident she wished had never happened. Cold, ruthless, and feared by gods and dragons alike, she would rather wage war against the world than bow before fate. Yet fate had already chosen. As forgotten memories awaken, ancient demons emerge from the shadows, and kingdoms prepare for war, Yuuta discovers that his existence was never ordinary. A hidden past, a forgotten civilization, and a power buried deep within his soul begin pulling him toward a truth that could change both Earth and Nova forever. To protect the family he cherishes, uncover the mystery of his origin, and stand beside the woman who refuses to acknowledge him, Yuuta must grow stronger even if that means walking through the horrors of the Soul Realm itself. Because sometimes... The greatest enemy isn't destiny. It's the truth waiting at its end. Join my discord Discord: https://discord.gg/Z97qm22k2Q

Jason has all but given up on his own life, but things start to change when he wakes up in another.

- Disclaimer: Chapters are long and detailed. Slower pacing and character driven narrative. The Last Step is an epic fantasy spanning years of chapters, where history, ideology, science, and humanity collide in a world ruled by magic. Once, humanity stood at the bottom of existence. Magicless. Powerless. A race hunted to the brink of extinction. To the world, humans were little more than intelligent animals, fit to be enslaved, toyed with, or discarded. Their survival was never expected. Yet somewhere in forgotten history... someone changed that fate. Now, 7,000 years later, humanity stands beside the very races that once ruled over them, wielding magic that should have never been theirs. Few remember how that miracle came to be. Kaiser Everhart is one of them. Not as a chosen hero. Not with divine blessings. Not with overwhelming strength. Only with a mind that refuses to end his story. Born into a life that could only be described as hell, Kaiser Everhart grew up believing humanity was selfish, cruel, and undeserving of faith. All he ever wanted was a quiet life. A place where he could finally understand what happiness felt like. Instead, the world refused to leave him alone. Drawn into a continent where primordial beasts roam forgotten lands, where dragonics shape empires, elves preserve ancient civilizations, demons struggle against a curse of their own existence, beastkin, dwarves, and fairies each reign over fields humanity could never hope to rival, Kaiser finds himself standing among races that have mastered magic, divinity, and power over thousands of years. Yet the deeper his journey goes, the more one question begins to consume everything: Can humanity be saved... if humanity itself is its greatest enemy? This is not a story about becoming the strongest. It is a story about changing the world one impossible step at a time. Long before Kaiser Everhart was born, another man walked a remarkably similar path. One who devoted everything to humanity... Only to lose faith in it. As the past slowly awakens, two ideals begin moving toward an inevitable collision: The man who abandoned hope in humanity. And the man still searching for a reason to believe. Somewhere between them stands Kaiser Everhart, unaware that every step he takes is leading him toward the one person who understands him better than anyone else ever could. A slow-burning saga of politics, philosophy, science, war, romance, psychological manipulation, civilization-building, and the fragile hope that even the weakest race can create its own future. The road is long. The answers are earned. And every step matters. Discord: https://discord.gg/3tRarQqWJj

A former child performer turned engineer and logistics analyst, he understood war not as glory—but as systems, supply chains, and men dying because someone miscalculated fuel. Then he died. When he opens his eyes again, he is no longer in the 21st century. He awakens in imperial Germany — inside the body of Prince Oskar of Prussia, fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The year is 1904. Europe stands balanced on a knife’s edge. The Great War is ten years away. And this time… he remembers everything. Armed with knowledge of future catastrophes — trench warfare, naval blockades, industrial slaughter — Oskar refuses to become another ornamental royal. Instead, he begins reshaping the empire from within: Modernizing industry before rivals awaken. Reforming logistics before generals understand their weakness. Building dreadnoughts that rival Britain’s fleet. Forging elite forces that fight with tomorrow’s doctrine. Investing in technology decades ahead of its time. But power attracts enemies. Within the palace, jealous princes whisper. Within the army, old men resist reform. Across Europe, empires grow uneasy at Germany’s sudden acceleration. And in the shadows, forces that do not fly flags begin to move. Oskar does not dream of conquest. He dreams of survival. Yet the stronger he makes Germany, the closer the world drifts toward the very war he is trying to prevent. Can one reincarnated strategist alter the course of history — or will he simply forge a stronger empire for an even greater storm? --- Disclaimer This work is a speculative alternate-history fiction in which a modern man is reborn as Prince Oskar of Prussia and attempts to reshape early 20th-century Europe. While inspired by real historical figures and events, all characterizations, timelines, and outcomes are fictional and should not be interpreted as accurate representations of historical reality.

From the "plagiarism" of legendary works to the strategic acquisition of the world's most undervalued IPs, Marvin begins a cold, calculated climb to the top. ​While his classmates at his elite L.A. school worry about grades, Marvin is busy recruiting a young Mark Zuckerberg, filing predatory tech patents, and building a multi-national empire that spans the US, Japan, South Korea, and China.
