Once a princess with a kingdom at her feet, Lorelai Violette now prowls the underbelly of a fallen demon empire—a discarded succubus, stripped of her title, beaten into servitude, a plaything for those who once bowed before her.... more>>

But beneath the broken girl, something waits. Something hungry. Something that refuses to stay forgotten.

She does not beg. She does not kneel. She does not forgive.

She screams. And she demands blood.

Shattered and without a trace of hope, she will take back what was stolen—power, throne, and bloodied crown alike.

In a cyberpunk underworld fueled by ancient magitek—where flying ships haunt the skies and firearms burn with crystalline energy—Lorelai navigates the seven deadly cities, each ruled by a monarch embodying sin. Here, politics is a blood sport, and her greatest enemy isn’t the warlords standing in her way—it’s the darkness inside her. A volatile shard of her ego that hungers for destruction, for power, for pleasure—and sometimes all at once.

Her only ally? A brooding vampire and reluctant Monarch of Wrath.

She lures, he bites.

She is reckless, and he knows too much.

Together, they must walk the red-threaded line and admit nothing, lie, cheat and soak their way to the top.

But as Lorelai claws her way to power, one question remains: What if vengeance isn’t enough?

# slow-burn arc, rags to riches, morally grey <<less

Cassie’s spent most of her life trying not to be seen. But when a sudden zombie outbreak turns her quiet college life into a nightmare, being invisible won’t save her anymore.... more>>

She wakes up late on a quiet weekend to find the campus emptied, the dorms silent, and the news crawling with horror. A mutated virus has escaped containment, turning people into mindless predators. Society is unraveling. And Cassie? She’s still stuck in her college dorm, armed with a frying pan, a dead phone, and absolutely zero faith in humanity.

She’s not a hero. She doesn’t want to save the world. But the rules have changed. Survival isn’t about blending in anymore—it’s about stepping up. Even if that means working with strangers. Even if that means trusting someone she really shouldn’t.

But survival has a sick sense of humor—and sometimes, it forces you into the very connections you’ve spent your life avoiding.

Because staying alive is hard enough.
But staying numb?
That might be impossible. <<less

Eighty years ago, a colossal monster tore through New York City, leaving millions dead in its wake.... more>>

Just when all hope was lost, a glowing figure descended from the sky and vanquished the beast single-handedly.

His name was Solar, Earth’s first superhero. He revealed himself as a fairy from a neighboring dimension, and with him came the dawn of a new age.

Now, the world is filled with human-fairy hybrids. Some rise as heroes. Others fall as villains. And a rare few walk the line in between.

Superhero culture is everywhere. Cities have registered protectors. Kids grow up idolizing capes the same way they once admired movie stars.

Thalia Grave is not one of the lucky ones. Just a broke college student with a Solar obsession, living quietly with her single mother and kid brother, until the night she dies saving a stranger during a monster attack.

She awakens in the Pale Crossing, the border between life and death, where a cryptic entity offers her a second chance... and a System unlike any other.

She's returned to life, but not as a fairy, or even a hero.
Thalia is now something the world hasn’t seen before...

A Necromancer.

Now, shadows stir in alleyways. Skeletons rise.
And across the city, whispers grow of a terrifying new figure haunting the night.

Will Thalia use her powers to become the hero she always admired?
Or is she fated to become the thing even monsters fear? <<less

In the 118th year after the Cataclysm, Shen Xingyan, who had spent his life at the bottom of society, was assigned the lowest-tier profession: Farmer. His awakened innate gift, "Skeleton Summoning," sounded impressive at first, but the skeletons he summoned each had a stat of 1 in everything. There was no way they could be used in battle. All he could do was farm.

While farming, he accidentally triggered a record-breaking mechanism and received a reward that defied all common sense.

From that moment on, this once-insignificant nobody began walking a path of shattering records one after another, moving faster and faster, farther and farther.

Talent stones? Rare skills? Special items? Extraction tokens? All of it kept making his power in the real world more and more unstoppable... <<less

On a silent station orbiting Titan, a woman, June, lives alone. Her days are measured in system checks, synthetic meals, and the quiet breath of growing plants. To keep her mind from unraveling, she builds something. Or someone. Just to talk to.

This is a science fiction story, yes. But more than that, it is a story about stillness. About what happens when the noise of the world fades and only yourself remains. It is about routine, and how it can protect or erode. About loneliness, and the strange ways we try to survive it. <<less

But a desperate wish upon... more>> a falling star brings not salvation, but a covenant. A second skin of living darkness, a partner born from the cold between worlds, now shares her body and soul. As her flesh is rewritten into a form of terrifying, beautiful power and her gentle fist learns a monstrous new grace, she is haunted by a ravenous hunger that cannot be sated and guided by a second, ancient voice that echoes in her mind. Now, Hinata must walk a razor’s edge, hiding the power of a cosmic predator behind a shy smile, while her other half whispers promises of glory, dominance, and the exquisite taste of fear. The question is not if she will become strong, but how long a goddess of quiet, lethal violence can pretend to be a simple genin before the whole world is forced to kneel. <<less

Dragged into the realm of the fae by a monster that stole her real name, Alys finds herself in the company of a mysterious stranger who takes the form of a raven, and occasionally a male faerie: Luthias.

Rick was once a top-tier gamer—a sharp-witted, lone wolf player who tore through the bleak and brutal MMORPG [Fractured] with unrivaled skill. But after an unexpected accident, Rick wakes up not in the real world, but in the game itself... only to discover he’s now a she—reborn as Maria von Cainehurst, a fragile noble-born NPC doomed to die and later become a hated late-game boss in the 3.0 update: the Bloodstained Doll of the Starry Belfry.... more>>

Stripped of his former strength and thrust into a child’s body, Rick—now Maria—must navigate a deadly world filled with betrayal, monsters, and prophecy. With her memories of the game’s future and the intricate workings of the [Fractured] world, she sets out to survive, rewrite her fate, and avoid becoming a stepping stone for future players.

With each chapter, Maria walks the tightrope between the innocence of her new form and the ruthlessness of her former self—caught in a story where gothic horror, dark fantasy, and MMO mechanics collide.

Author's Note:
Hi readers! This is a dark fantasy isekai inspired by games like Bloodborne, Dark Souls, and other FromSoft titles—but with some original lore, factions, world systems, and update patches that mirror MMO-style progression. Expect deep world-building, cryptic mechanics, cruel enemies, and a heroine who must learn to survive in a nightmare dressed in nobility.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you’ll enjoy the descent into [Fractured]!

Seraphine had just taken her first big step towards independence, moving into her own small flat to ease the burden on her sick father. Living alone was hard enough with her autism and anxiety, but at least she had a routine – something that made sense.... more>>

Now, all of that is gone.

Torn from Earth and thrown into a world of Stats, Skills, and Levels, she’s not the overpowered protagonist this world seems to expect. Just surviving the scorching steppes feels like an impossible quest.

In a world where only monsters can evolve, how can a girl with no magic carve out her place? Can she turn enemies into allies and outcasts into a family – or will she remain just another foreigner hunted to extinction? <<less

Emily and Elise have one thing in common: they both grew up thinking magic was myth.
