Kurt was unsure how his existence came to be. Other paranormal beings were not sure how it was possible either. The various government organizations didn’t even know about his condition other than he was a half elf.

So it was that Kurt was feared by the average person, hated by most other paranormal beings and generally lonely. It was also a lifestyle that he chose, having few friends and moving to a place with even fewer neighbors. Separating himself from most of the world, he prepared for a quiet life that hopefully wouldn’t end in violence.

That quiet life, with only mild government interference, would change when he gets an unexpected interview that showed he was also being looked at by more enigmatic organizations. He had only just signed the contract when the first of many surprises would be laid upon him in the form of a partner.

Follow along as Kurt deals with the intricacies of a multi-realm company, local cults, competing organizations and a work-life balance that has him really getting to know his partner. All while he tries to figure out his own hybrid bloodlines which shouldn’t have been possible in the first place.

What to expect as of Chapter 160:

1) The introductory setting is a parallel to current Earth and additional world building will happen gradually as the characters encounter those things.

2) NSFW chapters are ~ 5-10% of chapters and those chapters have (R-18) in the title. Those chapters typically have no important plot in them and can be skipped.

3) The relationship between the main characters and others is less harem and more a Triad. The women in the polycule will also have relationships and development with each other and not just MC. Not every girl in the story will be a part of the relationship or even interested in the MC.

4) There will be a mix of slice-of-life, action and romance. The MC has other pursuits and obligations besides fighting. Occasional POV shifts are common and should be easily seen. Chapters with heavy POV shifts will be noted in the title.

This work is partly inspired by several others, namely Saileri’s Dungeon Cleaners Inc. and Jan Stryvant’s Valens Legacy which acted as the main inspiration for me putting my own spin on things.

Updates on Mondays and Thursdays, typically before 9am EST.

Honest comments and constructive feedback are, of course, welcome. Let me know if I miss any tags and I will mark chapters with sex and put warning tags on any with situations that might make people uncomfortable.

Ren Hector was supposed to be a Doctor. Instead, he died of a heart attack five years into surgical residency and woke up in a nightmare world where people awaken as Hunters by surviving their worst fears.... more>>

The System was supposed to grant him healing powers. But something went wrong.

A glitch during binding process warped his class into something monstrous. Now, as the Doctor of the Ruin Gospel, Ren wields sentient surgical tentacles and a chainsaw instead of holy light.

Now he’s the Doctor of the Ruin Gospel, a walking medical atrocity who heals people with surgical tentacles, a chainsaw, and a mouth in his palm that bites things for diagnosis. The more fear he causes, the stronger he gets.

Trapped in a broken system, in a world ruled by Gates, monsters, and divine protocols, Ren isn’t here to save the world.

He’s just trying to cure it.

* The Interlude at the beginning is a moving, raw, and emotional piece that simply came to me one day. It's a prelude that dives into the core cause of the protagonist's suffering. The normal pace of the story is much more relaxed, as promised.
* This is my first story, I am still finding my style and rhythm, so please be patient.
* English is my second language, I learned it in a very practical way, so I'm still learning the grammar. Again, please be patient, I'm improving.
* There will be some little dark parts, but overall it's a nice and cute story, or so I pretend.
* The " " are for dialogues, and the ' ' are for important thoughts.

Finally, at least ten chapters ahead, exclusive chapters, pictures and drawings on , please take a look if you like. I made the cover myself!

After spending his entire life tirelessly dedicated to medicine, our protagonist dies with the deep regret of never having fulfilled his dream of becoming a doctor and, above all, not having enjoyed his life.

In his new home, PJ finds himself surrounded by unique characters who will change his life forever. Among them is Sheldon Cooper, the genius son of the neighbors, whose intellect defies everyday logic.

0. Early Access: ▶ https://www..com/XAN3ON ◀ - there you’ll find 7 or more additional chapters, download option and something else.
1. Volume 1 = buildup. If you think the protagonist knows best - you only think so.
2. No need to be familiar with the original story; I try to explain all the important points.
The canon (of the series) is as unshakable as a rock, with adjustments for the actions of the main character… or rather, that’s what Niren thinks. I didn’t specify exactly which main character :)
3. The protagonist himself has only seen the first 5 seasons of the anime, hasn’t read the manga, isn’t familiar with the spinoff, and hasn’t even heard of the movies.
4. There’s a lot of reflection, world explanations, various plans, and elaborate strategies.
5. I weave cool elements from Japanese culture into the narrative.
6. I made the cover myself.
7. And finally: comments motivate me.
Discussion of the plot, my characters, their abilities, cool fan art of the characters. Fact: books that receive active comments tend to gain popularity a bit faster. Plus, like many others, I simply enjoy reading ideas, thinking through theories, and making guesses. <<less

Waking up on another world is supposed to be fun: you get a cool new power, you meet attractive people who inexplicably think you're the best thing since sliced bread, and you go on an adventure where you beat the bad guys or the demon king or whatever the antagonist may be.... more>>

You probably also don't think too much about the home you left behind, because, you know, that would get in the way of the power fantasy.

But Charlie, a medical student in their last year from Vienna, doesn't wake up on a world like that. Alaria might be a place of magic and mystery, but evil takes root in the springs of colonial gold more easily than the heart of any demon king, the character of Charlie's fellow exiles leaves much to be desired, and they can't understand a damn word anyone is saying.

Trying to survive, and maybe find their way home, Charlie is slowly and unwillingly drawn into a web of vicious politics and vying factions in a rapidly changing world.

Sophia Valac was supposed to be dead.
One minute, she was a tired Trauma/ICU nurse walking home through Inwood, New York City after another long shift. One block from home, a robbery went wrong. A gun clicked. A stranger panicked. And Sophia died on the sidewalk with her keys beside her and her phone lighting up one last time.
The next moment, she woke up in a demon castle with silver hair, black horns, and a name she recognized from a manga she used to read:
Sophia Valac Malphas.
The Calamity Princess.
In the story, Sophia was feared as a cruel demon royal with a terrifying bloodline and a reputation soaked in disaster. But this... more>> Sophia remembers NYC hospitals, night shifts, gunshots, and the bitter truth of dying with nothing to show for it.
Now reborn as the Demon King’s miracle daughter, Sophia carries something this world does not understand:
The instinct to heal.
Her power can save demons.
Her existence can shake kingdoms.
And the Holy Kingdom has already marked her as a heretic.

Caught between a possessive Demon King, a deadly royal family, a silent goddess, and a world that expects her to become a monster, Sophia has one problem:

She may not know how to be a princess…

But she knows how to keep someone alive.

No heroes. Only demons. <<less

After 20 years Kazia’taeia was lifted from the fog of a behavioral chip stuck inside her brain. Lucian, a capable Terran medical practitioner, revived her from the brink of death. She expected to be sold off, instead he simply asked, “What do you want in life?”... more>>

Kazia’taeia comes to find Lucian as a reliable, yet unexpected companion to devote herself to. Despite this new lease on life and a chance at freedom, bounty hunters are after the both of them: For her, secrets she no longer remembers. For Lucian, retribution for his past sins.

Since her early teens, Kazia’taeia had only known the art of war and the orders issued by her superiors; many lives were lost, worlds ravaged by the enemy invaders, and the prospect of a future threatened under the chains of slavery.

To protect everything she has left, Kazia'taeia must return to become the warrior she once was.

She had been reincarnated as the future mother of the story’s main villainess and also the woman destined to die brutally at the hands of her own husband, the story's villain!!!.

Fortunately, she was transmigrated as a young child, giving her a twelve-year head start before she was ever supposed to give birth. To avoid her tragic death flags, she meticulously prepared to escape the novel’s plot and live a quiet life far away from the original characters.

For years, she traveled the continent, cultivating her power, refining legendary elixirs, and helping people along the way. She considered this her perfect "fantasy life," free from the shadow of the man who was meant to kill her.

Or so she thought.

Now, she finds herself trapped in the arms of that very same man. Instead of her executioner, he has become a man obsessed, doting on her relentlessly alongside their "villainess" daughter, who now does nothing but cling to her mother with a sweet, innocent smile. <<less

In Yunhe City, Lin Xuan is a talented young doctor trapped in a hospital where status matters more than skill, and the wrong superior can turn a survivable case into a corpse. After watching a patient die because of cowardice and incompetence, he reaches his breaking point. That is when the impossible awakens: the Celestial Medical Dao System.... more>>

This system does not grant easy miracles. It judges, trains, and punishes. Every diagnosis, every incision, and every life placed in Lin Xuan’s hands becomes part of a brutal path of ascension where medical mastery is power, failure has a price, and incompetence kills.

To rise, Lin Xuan must sharpen his knowledge, his instincts, and his hands while hiding the secret that is transforming him from an overlooked hospital doctor into something far more terrifying. Rival doctors, corrupt superiors, influential families, and dangerous patients will all stand in his way.

In a world where hospitals feel like sects and surgery is a battlefield, Lin Xuan will carve his way upward step by step, life by life, until no one can deny his name. His goal is simple to say and almost impossible to achieve: become the greatest surgeon in the world. <<less

Victor thought that was boring.

"In a world of foxkin, mermaids, and countless demi-human species, why would I settle for a boring human?!" the Twenty-Third Prince of the Apheriam Empire openly protested at an altar of his arranged marriage, only to pay the price immediately after.

Stripped of his system, title, and cast into the imperial dungeon to await judgment, the former-prince is presented with an opportunity from a shadowy stranger that could change not only his life, but the very trajectory of the dogmatic Imperium as well.

But to overturn an empire ruled by pride, ego, and human supremacy, Victor will need power, resources, ambition… and a growing deck of monster girls. <<less

Armed with surgical knowledge no one here can explain, a Babaylan bloodline she never asked for, and one very inconvenient spirit companion, she builds a practice from nothing in a fishing village on the coast road to the most powerful city in the archipelago.

Ten thousand years ago, the Ascended Masters abandoned this realm, leaving behind a saturated, chaotic wasteland. Now, the remnants—towering, violent giants bloated on stagnant Qi—rule the ruins of the golden age. They don't cultivate. They just exist, trapped in an endless, brutal loop of survival and stagnation.... more>>

Julian didn't reincarnate with a magical system, a heavenly physique, or a mysterious master. He fell from the void as a hundred-and-twenty-pound mortal with a degree in Ethnobotany, a pocket of stainless steel acupuncture needles, and a terrifying realization: he is the weakest thing in a world of predators.

To the giants, he is just a rabbit. A piece of soft meat. To survive, Julian must prove he is a useful tool, but not too useful. He can't fight them, and the tribe only wants to use him, but Julian didn’t dedicate his life to studying the lost arts of cultivation for nothing. Using forgotten mortal medicine to bypass overloaded meridians, he begins to systematically hack the anatomy of the world's monsters to forge his own foundation.

But the giants are a dead end. Clinical, selfish, and obsessed with their own survival, they will never see Julian as anything more than an expendable asset. When forced to choose between the familiar cruelty of humanoid masters and the terrifying, toxic unknown of the deep wild, Julian walks into the dark.

He chooses the monsters. Stepping into the domain of a dying, Sovereign-tier horror, Julian leaves humanity behind. He won't just hack his way to a foundation; he will engineer his own faction from the ground up. Julian is going to build the Unbound Sovereign Sect, and he won't use a single human to do it.

The medical, anatomical, and acupuncture theories discussed in this novel are based on real-world traditional practices and botanical science. However, they are heavily dramatized for the sake of survival fantasy. Do not attempt to use two-inch surgical steel needles to vent your friend's stagnant Qi, treat snake bites with random ferns, or perform deep-tissue Shenshu point demolition on yourself. It will not give you the physical mass of a giant; it will just put you in the hospital. Read the fiction, leave the needles to the professionals. <<less
