No one knows were it came from, not even itself. One day it just started to exist.

Vladimir D. Svoboda. The hailed, but troubled genius from the planet Earth. The first person who made teleportation reality. The Rotshields, a mysterious family that ruled from the shadows, couldn't leave it just like that and wanted it for themselves. Needless to say, the operation went terribly wrong.... more>>

After that our hero, Vlad, finds himself in an extremely hostile metallic city, Koul'E. The capital of steampunk orcs, devilish wizards (quite literally) and enslaved goblins. Decadency, greed and brutality rules in their society; even gods steer clear from them.

Odds stacked against him, cancer slowly eating him from the inside, he will raze his way through the impossible situation and beings that vastly outclass him. However, he is not completely without friends and alone. An unlikely being decides to help him even though they went through a rocky start. They form a bond that will shake the whole city, and maybe the world.

Magic, technology and all other esoteric powers are just a stretch of an arm away.

City of a Hundred Gates, City of Worlds—Ahskra, metropolis of many millions of souls. So long has the city stood that few know its origin, its ancient history; fewer still(if any indeed) know how the gates—portals each to another planet—came into being. Many are the stories that have been told, and many those that still unfurl, for Ahskra is the hub of worlds, the centre of trade for many of those disparate souls who call it, and the realms connected to its gates, home.... more>>

A new era is about to unfold, as the last of the "five good emperors of Rome", Marcus Aurelius, is reaching the last of his days, marking the peak of Rome, and Commodus, his son and successor, an avid lover of gladiatorial games (and a really bad emperor), ushers the golden era of gladiatorial matches(And the start of the spiraling downfall of an empire)!

=========================================
This is a remake of my novel. This time, however, I decided to remove all cheats. Our protagonist is a normal resident of another world, without any cheat to aid him. He will need to use the natural weapons bestowed upon him to fight and survive.
===============================================================
Note: This novel is dark, and the Author is rather unstable, so expect character death, mental scarring, scarring in general, possible limb loss, and the main character dying and starting some sort of underworld arc.
I don't own the picture, I am just temporarily using it because its cool. <<less

The beautiful and young Xenia BloodStar is a world-class beauty, a calculating politician, and an immensely powerful ki user.

Release Schedule: At least one new chapter every Sunday at 9 AM CST. Thanks for reading :)

For those interested, there is an uncensored version (about 10% longer) with more sex and more violence on the Patreon (all posts are free and public). But be warned, if you know Xenia, then you may not be surprised to know she likes to mix her sex and violence together. If that's not your thing, then I'd stick to the story here on Scribble Hub which has 100% of the actual story and still has sex but is often abbreviated or less violent. Thank you all!

Thousands of violent criminals and monsters in a prison, but only one shard to make them invincible.... more>>

Roid is a limp gladiator who fought life and death battles in the pits for freedom. But when he at last pulled off a hundred-battle winning streak, instead of being freed like promised, he was thrown into Raventor.

Raventor was once a grand prison that chained and caged godly beings. But after the battle of the mighty beings for a shard, it became a ruin that bigwigs of Moors used to throw in the people they never wanted to see again.

Roid would do anything for freedom. Raventor, being a prison, would never let anybody escape.

There are monsters and mythical creatures here in the prison along with violent criminals with means far outstripped Roid. There are also legacies of the fallen gods here. Most of all, the shard is still here, waiting for the taking.

Join Roid in his swashbuckling adventure as he fights against all the odds for freedom. <<less

A Threat of extermination looms over Humanity.

A Hero returns from killing a Demon Lord.

“Whoever said being a Returnee Hero is easy was full of shit!”

Leonidas Paendrag spent five years in another world to defeat the Demon Lord and his literal armies of Hell, only for the final battle to send him back to Earth unexpectedly. Denied the rest he desperately wanted, Leonidas is instead thrust into a world of emerging fantasy races, warring human factions, and a dysfunctional family more intent on killing each other than the monsters roaming the planet.

With royal elven politics, dungeon raids, area bosses, human doomsday cults, rogue US military holdouts, and hostile fantasy races mixing together into a nightmare cocktail of bullshit; Leonidas must use all his accrued knowledge, skill, and experience as the Hero to cultivate, grow stronger, and forge his own place in a post-System Incursion Earth.

Every societal structure has a hierarchy that determines the standings of its people. However, royal bloodlines are a thing of the past and no longer... more>> guarantee a person's wealth and prosperity. Tired of the countless wars that had stained the pages of history books from poor leadership and corruption, a monumental change occurred. It was the creation of The Agoge. The Agoge is a brutal system that determines the social standing of the children that participate in it. Every child in society is brought to The Agoge at the age of 6. There, they no longer belong to their parents but to the governing system. It is the most grueling system of government and some children die in the process. It is not a parent's responsibility to raise children for society, but The Agoge's responsibility to determine which children are not fit for it... and if they are resourceful enough, the ones who are. <<less

[I was reborn as a dungeon-core and forgot what life was really about until I remembered that it was obviously about violence! (So I made a grand colosseum for the greatest champions of humanity to fight to the death in)]
__________________________
Being taken from another world, the soul named Munera finds itself reborn as the beating heart of a wild dungeon – an entity known as a Dungeon-Core. With nothing to do but watch humans fight against one another and against itself, confused about its new purpose in this other world and ‘body’ – that is actually a complicated network of underground tunnels and chambers rather than a simple construct of flesh and bone –... more>> Munera comes to the obvious conclusion that life is about nothing else other than gratuitous violence and the assertion of dominance over lesser beings!

Taking this to the next level, it sets out to find out everything about fighting, combat, and the ascension to power and purpose through raw strength, cunning tactics, and sly strategy by creating a grand arena, a colosseum. In this newly formed underground labyrinth, the blood-hungry entity imprisons countless humans, monsters, elves, and all manner of beings with the intent to make them fight against one another with sword and magic and in contests of cunning and wit in order to prove the validity of the pursuit of purpose through raw power of many shapes.

Will its confused quest and methods succeed in pressing out the distilled essence of life from the bones of its new gladiators through the filter of challenges and nightmares? Or will it lose control over its prisoners as they band together with one another, its own domain crumbling with this violence turning its way instead? Find out in the latest novel from trending fantasy and isekai author D.M. Rhodes!

After failing to prevent a loved one's murder, Brett finds himself ripped from his old life and thrust into a strange world of convergent realities. With only the clothes on his back and a burning vengeance, he must learn to thrive in a place that most are trying their best to escape.

In exchange for a future favor, a desperate god grants Brett the power he needs to make his enemies pay. The multi-dimensional crime syndicate that incurred his wrath makes for slippery prey but that won’t deter him. As he hunts through this strange convergence of worlds, he finds allies and more danger than he could ever hope for.

He’ll need to gain enough power to slaughter his way through the shadowy cabal and overcome this garbage system. One thing is certain: he will catch up with his enemies, and they won’t stand a chance

This is a bit of a slow burn at the start, but picks up. I'm planning on writing this for a very long time and it could easily be 2000 chapters. <<less
