"I Became the God of Velmoryn"... more>>

If you were given the power of a god, what would you do?

I didn’t get the luxury of choosing. One moment, I was a nobody, just a freelance web developer with a failed law degree and a cat who barely tolerated me. Next, I woke up floating in the void, staring at a glowing blue screen that told me I was now a god. A weak, insignificant one, sure, but a god nonetheless.

No instructions. No divine wisdom. Just me, a barren status window, and an empty faith with no followers.

The first thing I did? I destroyed the last statue of the god who came before me. If I was going to be a god, I needed worshippers and what better way to start than with a little divine intervention?

Now, I have a broken and lost tribe looking for answers, a system I don't even know how works, and a world that probably won’t take kindly to a new deity on the rise. But if the gods of this world think I’m just another nobody, they’re in for a surprise.

I don’t plan on being insignificant forever.

What to expect:

- 1 Chapter Every Other Day
- 2,000+ Words per Chapter
- Selfish, Calculative MC
- 1st Person POV
- Not a Very Slow Progression
- Gods & Intricate Power System
- Unique Worldbuilding with Various Races & Monsters

Exiled and cursed, Duan Xieren has spent five years imprisoned in the cursed forest Nanshan, his once-promising future shattered by a mysterious affliction known only as “death touch.” Submitted to his fate, he had long ago lost hope—until the notorious thief Liang He appears, offering a chance at salvation.... more>>

But Bridgewater University is a dangerous place, where knowledge and power are for the few rich or unscrupulous enough to attain them. Between ruthless noble rivals, forbidden summonings and the dark promise of a pact with a demon, Valentina finds herself entangled in a web of intrigue and temptation.

Four souls. Seven factions. One alien menace.... more>>

200 years after World War Three ended the United States and Communist China, humanity has colonized the eight planets - but at what cost?

When psionic agent Lorna arrives in Taiwan hunting data for the new North American government, she collides with Xin, a heartbroken programmer whose android lover was stolen by the regime that his college classmate Dilinur serves. Meanwhile in Africa, high school dropout Jabari finds himself piloting a mech among the continent's finest warriors.

Their paths converge in a race for the Moondust Crystal, buried deep within the Moon, said to bestow power to control the Radi-Mons—voracious beasts that feed on nuclear waste and human flesh while spreading the sexually transmitted Nucleus Virus.

When Skarn - leader of the Radi-Mons - breaks free from imprisonment, the four heroes will find the Crystal to be more than a prize. For it's the key to humanity's survival - and possibly its damnation.

Will they master the Crystal's power, or will it master them?

Obinai never expected greatness. ... more>>

Burdened by self-doubt and haunted by past traumas, Obinai’s life takes a drastic turn when cracks begin to form in the ground before Nurikabe—a colossal wall of unknown origin that has always separated humanity from what lies beyond. No one knows what’s on the other side. Most have stopped asking.

As horrifying experiences cling to him with growing intensity, Obinai is thrust into an unforgiving society where survival is conditional: either he masters essence at Elona Academy, or he is executed. The academy is no sanctuary—only a place where failure carries fatal consequences.

Amidst relentless training and harrowing visions, fragments of truth begin to surface. Not just about humanity, but about the world itself—its layered past, its conflicting stories, and its buried contradictions. More than one story exists. More than one truth. More than one lie.

And as the veil between worlds grows thin, Obinai must confront the darkness that stirs within him… and choose whether to embrace his fate, or be devoured by it.

What To Expect:

- Slow burn until Chapter 7
- Some gore
- A structured power system (I'm trying)

It's a chance to change his fate. He has nothing left to lose, but everything to win. This night will push him to his limits. Survival is just the beginning.

Zaros was born on Earth, the young heir of a long line of honorable soldiers who fought for noble ideals. At school, he stood out for his dedication and exemplary behavior.... more>>

But everything changed in his final year of high school, when he and his entire class were summoned to a magical world to fight in a holy war for a devout people.

While many of his classmates panicked, Zaros and a few brave others chose to embrace their new reality and fight as champions for this foreign realm.
However, one rotten apple in the bunch forced Zaros to act in the most extreme way—to protect his girlfriend from a depraved classmate. That moment, combined with his deep love for her, triggered the awakening of a class never before seen in that world:
Supreme Lewd Villain.

It didn’t matter that Zaros had lived an honest, upstanding life. It didn’t matter how noble his actions were. From that moment forward, he would be seen by all as:
The World’s Worst.

Betrayed in the most perverse way imaginable and condemned to suffer daily as a slave, hated by all, the only thing left to him was the cursed title branded on his soul.
If the world already sees him as the vilest, most despicable creature alive, then there is only one path left—
To embrace that mantle… and unleash his vengeance upon all who betrayed and despised him.

From a young man with good intentions and a determined heart…
To the ultimate villain of all time:
The Supreme Lewd Villain must rise!

Extra tags: NO YURI, NO NTR, NO BAD TASTE, NO SICK THINGS TOWARD HAREM, NO R#APE TOWARD HAREM.

Despite the dark theme, and the fact that the MC actually suffers betrayal and torture, he can handle that and always turns the game to his advantage; it may take a while to gain power, but this will be his journey to become a supreme villain. The story will focus on a sick world with all kinds of evil people, but the MC will strive to always be the worst for such people, so there will be no shortage of bad people for him to terrify, while the good characters will have their share of love (the Harem in this case). In short, this is a good-vibe villain story with some twisted dark-humor tone where the MC does not disappoint by killing anyone to protect his girls. <<less

What to expect:

A cunning, ruthless, and selfish protagonist.

A new and unique power system.

One chapter a day, every day of the week.

A protagonist with average talent but an unbreakable will.

A dark, brutal, and bloody world. <<less

"In this world, wherever there is light, there are always shadows."... more>>

Kaoru Takime is reborn into the brutal world of Naruto, not in Konoha or any of the great nations, but in the Land of Water - a place where violence decides everything. He remembers wathing Naruto series in his previous life, but in this one, he’s inherited something far greater than mere memories: the lost Kekkei Genkai of the Takime Clan.

With war and betrayal everywhere, Kaoru refuses to be just another tool for someone else’s ambitions. Takime clan has a goal - to create a new village, a place where outcasts and survivors can live free from the control of the great nations.

But the world won’t let them build without a fight. If Kaoru wants to change anything, if he wants to protect his clan and new family, he’ll have to cut down anyone who stands in his way.

❗What to expect:

* 5 new chapters releasing weekly (Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat)! Each 2000+ words.

* Slow Progression.

* Lots of Fights, Drama, and Bloody Scenes.

* MC isn’t heroic but forms deep bonds.

* Romance may develop naturally over time, but there will be no harem.

* The starting universe will already have slight differences from the original. For example, the Senju clan isn’t wiped out in my story. These changes make Azure Awakening a slightly AU version of Naruto.

* There will be politics, intrigues, schemes and also clan building elements

* I’ll respect canon characters and their personalities, but as the story progresses, I’ll introduce original elements and may alter or remove key events. The MC won’t be focused on preserving the original timeline.

* I’ll involve readers through polls, letting you vote on key details.

It seems a dereliction of duty on the part of the servants who keep the Palace at Shadovane in order when Lance starts seeing a spider in the window by his bunk each night; but soon after, he begins to hear voices, and a peculiar sickness steals over him when those around him use magic. He begins to believe the voice so intent on chasing him away from sleep belongs to a real entity, and it wants something from him; but he can't bring himself to tell anyone of what is afflicting him for fear he will be taken by the palace's eyes and ears, taken away to die. ... more>>

In late 2025, a bioweapon leak in northern Pakistan marked the beginning of the end. Within years, the world fell to an ancient infection—one that doesn’t kill but transforms. Infected humans become anthropomorphic creatures with enhanced strength, intelligence… and loyalty to something far older than humanity.... more>>

These creatures—called furries—aren’t mere mutants. They are vessels of an ancient alien power, guided by hierarchy, instinct, and control. The most powerful among them can destroy human minds by presence alone.

By 2028, 99% of Earth is under furry control. Only isolated pockets remain: fortified zones in Eastern Europe, remote islands, and a strange silence covering Greenland. Among factions—Furry Nation, Human Resistance, the secretive Furry Resistance, and the brutal United Earth Front—the planet is fractured and bleeding.

Furgeddon tells the story of this world through scattered memories, diary entries, and brutal survival.
Godleif, a lone teenager in snowy Oslo, witnesses the collapse firsthand—chased, wounded, and slowly losing grip on reality. But even as the infection grows stronger, not everything is as it seems.

Alexander was a fairly normal guy on earth or at least he hoped so. Somehow though he had gone his entire life without playing a single pokemon game or watching any of the anime. That changed when his friends kept pestering him about it and he finally gave in and purchased a few of the games that came highly recommended such as emerald , fire red , platinum and heart gold.

In the vast and volatile lands of Tepr, the Jabliu and Alinkar tribes, long-standing enemies, have forged an uneasy alliance. The price of peace? A union through matrimony between Naci, the fiery and ambitious daughter of Jabliu's chieftain, and Horohan, the elusive heir of Alinkar.... more>>

Through Naci's contact, Horohan, embarks on a transformative journey to embrace her true self. Simultaneously, Naci's brother, Dukar, finds himself drafted into the Moukopl army, only to become entangled with Puripal, the fourth prince of the grand Yohazatz khanate.

From the windswept steppes to the towering peaks of the Tengr Mountains, Tepr is a realm of contrasts, a mosaic of tribes, each fiercely guarding its identity and territory. While the alliance is a political move, for Naci, it's an opportunity. She doesn't just see a marriage; she sees a stepping stone, a path that might lead her to the ultimate prize: the unification of all the tribes under one banner.

But the path to power is fraught with challenges, and the distant Moukopl empire, looming beyond the Tengr mountains, has long held an iron grip over the region.

As Naci rises, voices from every corner emerge—from battle-worn warriors and cunning spies to scheming diplomats and conflicted imperial insiders. In a world where alliances are as fluid as the winds over the steppes, the corridors of power pulse with hidden agendas, when the promised grandeur of empires meets the raw ambition of its people.

In this saga of loyalty, yearning, and sacrifice, an unexpected series of events may turn into the catalyst for a revolution that will forever reshape the world. <<less

As a treacherous minister, I embody a simple creed: when the emperor calls, I answer; when officials kneel, I stand. I spend the treasury's silver freely and control the kingdom's military might. In this tale of ambition and deceit, I navigate the complex corridors of power, relentless in my pursuit of influence.... more>>

Damian Reed is an ordinary man trapped in the mundane cycle of a dead-end job he despises. His days are filled with monotonous tasks and a sense of unfulfilled potential. Empire City, his home, is a sprawling urban jungle where the extraordinary is rarely expected.... more>>

One fateful afternoon, during his lunch break, Damian's world is violently shattered. An explosion rips through the city—a catastrophic event caused by the mysterious Raysphere. The blast throws the city into chaos, but for Damian, it does something even more profound: it unlocks a flood of memories he never knew existed.
