I'm begged to join the Legion of the dead

I never wished to be one of the Dead. Being one of the Dead isn’t what normal people normally pray for. But that's the problem, I'm not normal. Although, in this context, being Dead doesn’t truly mean you are dead—at least, not entirely. It is a state between life and death. Where your soul lingers, your humanity fades, and something else begins to take its place. And yet… I chose it. No. I was chosen. And now, having accepted this existence, it has become my deepest need to become the most evolved of the Dead. Once, I was nothing more than an orphan—just another forgotten boy surviving in the slums, living inside a rusting, converted bus my uncle once used to cook drugs. I fought to survive, 'cause aside from my not so caring uncle, I had no one. Well, not until Death found me. That was when everything changed. Death exposed me to the true reality hidden beneath the illusion of what I once believed the world to be. I saw monstrous things—demons, fallen warriors, and necromantic beings raised through forbidden magic. Souls dragged back from death and forced into existence once more, but in monstrous forms. I saw creatures—evils and beasts—that threatened to devour our entire sphere. Then, I also learned the truth. Earth is not the only sphere that exists. There are countless others, each inhabited by different species and creatures. There is the Elven Sphere—the world of the elves. The Orcanian Sphere, home of the orcs—green-skinned beings shaped like humans, yet far from them. And the Dwarken Spheres—the domain of the dwarves. And then… there is the Forbidden Sphere. The sphere of monstrosities. A realm where demons, abominations, and horrors beyond imagination are born. It is from this sphere that the horrors come. These spheres do not exist in isolation. They connect and at times overlap. They bleed into one another… and into ours. Yes… bleed. It is not many times that you will just suddenly wake up and find out that the friend beside you all this while has been an elf or an orc that entered to explore your world, but was hidden from you all this while because you lacked the sight to see through nature. When I was found by death, that was when I learned all this, when I learned who I was, the power within me, my truth, and my destiny. And now, I must navigate through all these worlds and fight all these monsters and demons in order to keep our sphere and other spheres safe. Because if I don't... Our sphere—and every other—will fall.

Abyss System The Rise of the Lord

Noa was once the kindest child in the world. He dreamed only of living peacefully with his family, building a simple life on a mountain peak with the girl he loved. But the world was not kind to him: after losing those he loved and being betrayed, a unique love for power, wealth, and strength awakened in his heart. When he was exiled, he was ready to embrace death… yet fate was not as merciless as he had thought. The Spirit Chain — long believed to have been destroyed centuries ago — had now fallen into his hands. This chain grants power, but its consequences are far greater than one might expect… The chain turns its owner into the target of the entire world. A boy standing against the world cannot know the trials that lie ahead. Ultimately, will the chain devour Noa… or will Noa devour the chain and ascend to join the ranks of the world’s most supreme beings? ————————————————— Tags: Male MC, Western Fantasy Schedule: 7 chapters per week (unless I get sick or something unexpected happens) Chapter length: 1400–1700 words Warning: This protagonist is not ordinary. Noa is neither a hero nor a typical anti-hero. He is cold, ruthless, and acts only for his own benefit. If you are looking for a kind MC who fights for everyone — this story is not for you. If you expect a protagonist who never changes or develops — this novel is not for you either. discord: https://discord.gg/jtPPMTDpu

Death punishment (Superpowers, anti-hero, revenge, original)

(note: this is my own original novel, I added it to fanfic for more visibility and to gain more readers this work is mine and all rights reserved) In 1950, a red rupture split the sky open and changed humanity forever. When the rift vanished, nearly sixty percent of the population awakened supernatural abilities. Cities fell, new powers reshaped society, and from that day forward most people manifested their abilities at the age of sixteen. Power became status. Power became survival. Alan Winchester is the son of the world’s top ranked hero, yet when his generation begins awakening, nothing happens to him. With no abilities in a world built around the superhuman, he turns to science and works inside his father’s organization, believing he can still earn his place another way. Then he discovers classified files: illegal experiments, disappearances, and murder cases hidden behind the image of heroism. After a chain of violent events forces him out of everything he knows, Alan travels to China searching for answers, training, and a different path to power. What begins as survival turns into something far more dangerous as he uncovers forces tied to the original catastrophe that changed humanity. Death. Corruption. Revenge. In a world ruled by strength, Alan will carve his own. What to Expect: Weak to strong progression Brutal fights with real consequences Detailed power systems and scaling Mystery arcs and hidden conspiracies Hero vs villain conflicts with lasting damage Slow-burn romance later on Side characters are not guaranteed to survive Schedule: Chapters 1k–1.8k words 2 chapters Daily and it will stop when I reach 37s chapter the rest on Patreon.
