This is your typical isekai story where our protagonist Ben dies and is reincarnated into the One Piece World.
The story will largely follow the events however there will be noticeable changes and additions. The girls will be present in the story and have their own story. They might fall for our protagonist a bit easily.
There will be a system however it is not the focus. The character will be strong but not overpowered. ... more>>

To be a synth is the greatest privilege an individual could be born into. What greater purpose or grander sense of fulfillment could one hope for than to be a tool of King Decon, the ruler of the Galaxy?... more>>

09T07 doesn’t know what more they want, but they know they’re missing something. Friendship? Intimacy? This seems to be the answer when they find others who are also not as King Decon intended them to be. However, how long can such things last among tools to be used and discarded? And how far are they willing to go to protect their loved ones in the face of duty?

Above him, the sky revealed three eerie moons, while an ominous black mass loomed ominously in their wake.

Disoriented and engulfed by a putrid stench, the child awakened amidst a swamp, its twisted trees groaning under an oppressive haze.

In the distance, the echoing caws of crows intensified the sense of foreboding. A haunting figure emerged, laboring behind a cart laden with lifeless bodies.

Fear and confusion gripped the child's heart as he began to grapple with the enigma of his own existence. Who was he, and what dire fate led him to this grim landscape? The grinning figure drew closer, exacerbating the boy's terror.

Unbeknownst to him, his journey would unveil a profound transformation—an ascent to become the embodiment of fear itself, or perhaps... a beacon of hope amidst the encroaching darkness. <<less

A HAREM story with EARNED GROWTH.

An underdog slowly becomes an overpowered crushing force for good but stumbles along the way before figuring out what and who he is. This is an underdog taking the lead from behind through hard knocks survival story.

The students of a certain school find themselves sucked into a new dangerous world. They’ll have to adapt quickly. This world has no mercy and won’t wait for them to grow up. Surprise number two; there are no newbie areas to transition from. This is a hell world and humans are prey here and at the bottom of the food chain.

Shun and his classmates have been summoned it seems, as hero candidates. No wait, but that’s a lie too. The job, isn’t to defeat any demon king…it’s just to keep the human cities from falling to monster attacks and survive as individuals.

This is a world full of powerful monsters. The monsters rule everything outside the few walled human towns left. Those with power live, while those without it become the servants. We’re now stuck in a new world. Things are different here. Magic is what keeps humanity alive and monsters outside the wall. But not everyone can use magic, and infighting between them is common.

There are other problems too. Magic seems seductive … and it has a cost…and there are those that prey on those with magic as well. Something on this world also pulls people towards the dark side easily.

Is this a dream? What’s real?

But this isn’t Earth. Things are different here. We’re trapped here! There’s no way to get back!

This is a survival hard mode story!

The world started anew 802 years ago. After unknown centuries of barbarism following The Fall of the old civilization, the first Towers rose from the ground in the ruins of ancient cities like Chicago and Phoenix. ... more>>

With the rise of the Towers came a measure of control over the Entropy that covered the lands. Where, before, this chaotic energy prevented any technology more complicated than a bow and arrow from functioning, suddenly the Order Fields of the Towers allowed cities to banish Entropy to varying degrees; allowing steam engines and muskets, or with higher Order, even assault rifles and electricity to be returned to the hands of humanity.

The Order wasn’t free. Each year cities sent their armies to Falling Fields to gather Orbs, the lifeblood, the source of the Flows that were expended to manipulate the Order and Entropy fields. Cities rich in Flows had tractors for their fields, air conditioning for the homes of the wealthy, and armies bristling with guns and tanks. Those without struggled to survive, always wanting more.

With the rise of the Towers came something more than control of Order and Entropy. With the rise of the Towers came THE GRIIDLORDS. Each city was granted 5 Griidsuits, making superheroes of their wearers, individuals with remarkable powers, each the match of a 1000 fighting men.

It is the year 802.

Tiberius has been pushed to compete for the Sword of Boston by his father. His father has amassed a great fortune as a merchant, he could buy and sell the castles and lands of the lords of the city, but there is one thing his money can't buy: nobility.

Tiberius has been trained and honed to compete for the Griidsuit. Winning the suit comes with the founding of a new noble house that would satisfy his father's grandest ambitions. Tiberius must compete against the sons and daughters of noble houses. These youths that have been trained by the finest tutors. These youths come from lines of Griidlords themselves, they see the suit as their birthright. These youths come from a class that disdains the very notion of a commoner competing for the suit, no matter his wealth.

Tiberius must navigate his own doubts, his own inadequacy, and see if he can grow enough in the precious days of the Choosing to become worthy of becoming The Sword of Boston.

I have categorized this story as a LitRPG, but it might be more accurately called lite-LITRPG. I'm new to the genre, but I'm having fun playing with it, so please, be forgiving and don't expect the hardcore stat sheets I've seen in some other stories.

What to expect:

-Light LitRPG elements woven organically in Tiberius's growing affinity for the suit. If you don't like LitRPG then these elements won't effect your experience.

-Gradual progression, starting at very weak.

-Light romance elements.

-Game of Thrones-esque land of intrigue, warfare, alliances, betrayals, and plots.

-A Fallout meets Middle-Earth world of medieval cultures melding with the futuristic.

-A complex system of cities manipulating Order and Entropy.

-Pitched battles.

-Blood Prince, unlike A Time of Change and Broken Chains, has essentially one POV character.

-Superhero combat.

-Mysterious histories, worldbuilding, lore.

This Story is set 200 years before "A Time of Change and Broken Chains", but can be read at the same time, or before, or after. I've called it "Book 2" but it really doesn't effect the experience if you start with Book 1 or Book 2. I think you should start with this one :) You could even read it as a standalone. <<less

Ah! Aythryn City. Truly a mess of neon and trash all supporting the psychopaths that live here. Desire is the name of the game in such a bright place, as anyone on the streets can verify.

Then enter me: a poor thief turned investigator just to make enough for end’s meet. Or at least, that’s how it was supposed to go down. Now though?

I just hope I can survive long enough to get out of this cursed city with enough Rayn to make a better life.

*Readers can expect a mostly adventure-themed superhero journey that will include a slice of life, action, and hopefully exciting world-building. It will also contain a slow-burn GL/Yuri plotline, which I'll eventually get to when I feel like it, I guess. This will be a very long story with many arcs*

["Subject P4, enter the combat testing area."]... more>>

That was my life, four white smooth walls in a small room where I could sleep... A gigantic metallic door that only opened to a thirty by thirty adjacent room where I would fight or solve logic puzzles, and the occasional time attack race.

If I managed to defeat my enemies in combat tests I got to eat and integrate their designs, if not I would get slurry nutrient paste instead.

That was until after a combat test I managed to [Trigger] the generation of a Mana Core and got away with it, that opened my world...[The System] gave me the tools to fight my way to freedom.

Now I only need to make sure I can keep this [Freedom] and carry on the only thing I left in my [Core] after escaping...The prime directives that were useful in my survival.

[Eat, Grow, Evolve]

This is my love story to [Super Minion], I really liked the idea of a bio weapon discovering the world at large in a world with superpowers, so I tried to write one about it.

The schedule should be Tuesday - Thursday - Saturday... Central Time at 13:15

Warnings:
There may be depictions of gore at some point (MC isn't human and does not have qualms about eating people...Nor things), as it does not have the same moral compass as a normal human, I did put the flag for gore, and sensitive content as my MC may toy with those things in the future... If I do not end up using that I will remove the sensitive content flag.

But most than likely that will stay.

And the final warning, English isn't my mother language, so bear with me, please. <<less

They called it "The Game" – a hundred floors of brutal challenges where the elite advance and the weak are culled.
When the mandatory neural interface activates on your 18th birthday, there's no logging out. Your body lies in stasis while your mind fights for survival. Miss your weekly killing quota, and it's game over – your consciousness "preserved" for purposes no player truly understands.... more>>

Three strangers enter this mandatory death game: Alexander, the privileged corporate heir with combat skills engineered into his genes; Elijah, whose inexplicable connection to the whispers of preserved minds grows stronger with each ascent; and Lyra, an Unaligned sector rat with illegal neural modifications who shouldn't even be there.

It's not until Floor 4 that fate forces them together – Alexander and Elijah with their pre-selected team, Lyra surviving alone through technical ingenuity. They were never meant to trust each other. Their alliance should have been temporary – a means to survive the Green Realm's deadly forests and the killing quota that demands blood each week.

But as they rise through desert wastelands, underwater cities, and volcanic hells, they discover The Game is far more than a sadistic entertainment system.
It's population control. It's consciousness harvesting. It's preparation for something coming from deep space that humanity isn't ready to face.

And at Floor 100, only three options await the few who make it: return to a privileged physical existence, join the digital consciousness collective, or become part of the mysterious Project Ascendant.
Unless these three can find what the system's designers concealed – a hidden fourth option that could transform not just their fate, but the very foundation of society on Terminus.

In a world where reality is stratified and your mind is the ultimate commodity, the deadliest game isn't played with weapons, but with the code underlying existence itself and three unlikely allies whose bond transcends conventional relationships

Humanity's spot at the top of the food chain was taken. Now we are the prey.... more>>

Fifty years ago, the human race lost the war against the Eaters—beings that defied not just our understanding, but the laws of nature themselves. Their overwhelming strength drove humanity to the brink of extinction. Those of us who survived now live in hiding, as I have my entire life: worried about making noise, scavenging for scraps, and fleeing from shadows.

But in that darkness, I found something extraordinary. A tool no human has ever discovered before: the System. With its power, I can heal my wounds, kill monsters, and perform feats I never imagined possible. Only to learn that most of the world has already been transformed by these same forces.

Animals evolve into nightmarish creatures. Weapons gain deadly enchantments. Ordinary caves become treacherous dungeons.

Even worse, I'm not alone in wielding this power. Other species have possessed this ability since birth. They've had generations to master what I'm only beginning to understand.

But I can share this gift with other humans. I can give us a fighting chance.

The question remains: will this spark of hope become just another candle snuffed by the wind, or will it ignite the blazing inferno of humanity's resurgence?

What to Expect:

[✔] A monster hunting story featuring the strongest human alive, told in first person
[✔] A blend of adventure and visceral horror
[✔] The emergence and evolution of a unique System
[✔] A morally complex protagonist who understands that survival demands difficult choices

Some secrets are buried in time.
Two thousand years after the Evolution transformed humanity, vampire society thrives beneath a rigid hierarchy of power and blood. The true origins of their kind remain shrouded in myth—laboratory records destroyed, witnesses silenced, truth replaced with legend.
What happened in those final moments before the world changed forever?
What became of the experiment that triggered civilization's collapse?
And who—or what—was the being designated only by a number?
In the shadows between territories, whispers persist of a laboratory where immortality was pursued at any cost, of a subject who appeared to die during injection, of chaos that spread like wildfire across continents.
A hybrid creature survives two centuries of captivity,... more>> neither vampire nor wereanimal, possessing a resilience that confounds its captors. Its origins remain as mysterious as its refusal to submit.
Dreams move through the dark corridors of vampire society. Visions of what was and what might be. Prophecies that span millennia, waiting for fulfillment.
After centuries of careful movement, of patient calculation, of secrets maintained through iron discipline, something stirs in the foundation of all that exists.
The truth has waited long enough.

"The designation was never a name. It was merely the beginning."

- Interesting cast of characters
- Multiple POV (not too many, just within a few important characters)
- Minor political intrigues and mysteries
