After being a wilfully unwilling subject of magical testing our cloaked protagonist, who refrains from revealing his own name, is diving into the dirt underbelly of the slums he once lived in. ... more>>

Partnered with a dagger for hire who's bound by the promise of financial stability. Together the two bound by the promise of riches advance into the conspiracies plaguing their country.

Along the way, they gain acquaintances, enemies, and undead slaves who differ from the usual word-slurring walking bag of bones.

In this world of fantasy magic is a drug, a bare-knuckle fight can be more destructive than wizardry, and the lost art of the arcane can shape the structured outcome of any given battle.

Vincent had a weird nightmare.... more>>

Humanity was destroyed.
The city he called home burned to the ground, his home blew up, and his loved ones died one by one before his eyes as he watched in crippling desperation, knowing one day it would be his turn.
When the nightmare truly ended, he opened his eyes to the bottom of the sea and a world that he knew nothing about.
—
Even though the MC is literally chased by the time, there will be many slices of life, tons of world-building, and interaction with many different characters. The burn will slow as our main character, Vincent, searches for his family and friends in a System world that is brimming with monsters wanting to take a sweet bite from his flesh and time.
—
This book’s main goal is to build a mysterious System world where to require anything–stats, skills, food, or even a little bit of underwear— you need to sacrifice something dear to you, your own limited lifespan. Also, I want to write interesting characters and build a culture built upon this ‘Time is all’ mechanic.
—
There will be stats but also the cultivation mechanics.
The system actively manipulates its inhabitants instead of only giving out free power and being done with it.
Our protagonist, Vincent, is a young man in his early twenties, also an ex-college-freshman with many regrets and errors, but he understands those facts too late.

***I am planning to release daily until it is chapter ten, then two times a week schedule (Monday-Friday)

*** The first ten chapters are short, but later chapters will be much longer. (2700~ words)

I'm new to writing the world in my mind, so I appreciate your feedback and comments in advance. Thank you!

Hope you enjoy the ride! <<less

Report: The Imperium's Vanguard... more>>

Callsign: Demiurge
Unit: 4th Research Division of the Adeptus Psykana

First Entry,
Reporting from the Astorion World.

This expansive world presents an ecosystem teeming with exotic lifeforms hitherto unrecorded within the Imperium's known borders. Of particular interest is the Astorion species, an enigmatic race that transcends our conventional understanding. It is, in essence, a living, breathing world.

Preliminary findings suggest that Astorion is a high-dimensional lifeform, where its very 'body' constitutes its own dimension. As Astorion advances in maturity, it demonstrates an ability to generate additional layers of dimensions, a phenomenon likely attributed to its self-defense mechanisms.

If substantiated, this hypothesis holds profound implications for the Imperium's continuity, mobility and the expansion of lebensraum. Further in-depth examinations and analyses are imperative to comprehending the full extent of the Astorion species' significance.

Corrupted. Monsters born from nightmares and the extremes of the human psyche, bearing anomalous properties and powers beyond imagination. Despairs manifest and weave creatures from the void, straight from the hearts and minds of the collective. From those created by anguish and trauma becoming hellbent on bloodshed, to the fluffiest stuffed teddy bears that will fight tooth and nail to protect its owners.... more>>

One thing is abundantly clear. The Corrupted are as useful as they are dangerous. Cute as they are deadly. Happy as they are sad.

The Corrupted Codex seeks to store it all in one unified place to better understand these creatures. Whether they're kept in deep underground facilities called the Sites, out in the wild, living amongst the populace, or Archived into books matters not as long as they are recorded within the ultimate monster encyclopedia.

Will you come try your hand to find a Corrupted you like?

You do have Clearance Level 1 access, don't you?

The motto of the Atelier that runs 26 Sites and Facilities across the world of Elysia. Behind steel doors and reinforced concrete resides terrors beyond imagination. They are called the Corrupted; entities born from nightmares and the deepest recesses of the human psyche, often manifesting from one's trauma, aspiration, hope or despair.

Monsters made from clumps of flesh that sing the tune of birds? Chairs that yearn to sit? Stuffed teddy bears that strangles rather than cuddles? Or winged, thousand eyed beings that eternally judge?

The company in question - ImpulseWorks - uses their Sites to contain study, observe and most importantly, harvest the anomalous resources of these entities to maintain the status quo. ImpulseWorks demands that the daily quota is met. No exceptions.

Did you miss one day? Terminated.

Meet Papilia, the cutest and youngest Navigator to ever graduate from ImpulseWork's rigorous training programs. Eager for work, Papilia is dispatched to manage an infamous Site that recently saw its lights come back online, long after its destruction. With a heart of iron, thick glasses and her handy manual, Papilia strives to run the very best Site ImpulseWorks has ever seen!

This is Site G-Z7.

However, not everything is as it seems...

People can be more like monsters and vice versa. But what about the Corrupted? How can entities born from hopes, dreams, nightmares and fairytales of all things ever dare to consider themselves anything like 'people' or 'monsters'?... more>>

The truth is: they cannot.

The world of Elysia is rife from head to toe with entities that defile every conventional law of physics. Technological progresses that supersedes Earth's in a fantasy world of sword and magic. Those who wield this power are considered deities amongst the populace. But hiding beneath their benevolent light exists a darker shadow.

The Corrupted.

On one fateful night, the emphatic light of a wish granting object painted the world white. The wish of one such entity was granted. A thoughtless being once feared and hellbent on carnage hatched forth into a new her... only that she's smaller now. And missing a lot of her weapons.

"Huh? What are those floating word things?"
"Hm? Why is my stomach growling?"

Join a certain Red-Hooded Corrupted who finds herself awakening for a chance to become something more than just a monster.

Friends will be made!
Enemies will clash!
Love will blossom!
Truths will unveil!
And most importantly, she will carve her legend into the hearts of friends and foes afar!

This is the story of the Vengeful Red-Hooded Assassin!

YES THEY ARE BOTH YANDERE.

When a meteorite struck the earth's surface barely a million humans were left alive. All the laws became useless as people started doing whatever they wanted, and no one was there to stop them.
But soon a power started awakening in 10 years old called Ether.
Each person has a single power which can become very deadly depending on how they use it. After an orphan rose in power and created a Kingdom for the leftover humans, brutality died down but was not wiped instantly.

The King had two children from one of his wives.

' Keiran and Luna '

Born as royalties, they were provided with everything, everything but love. Love had no place where humans were trying to survive. when they turned 10 years old their lives turned from heaven to hell, they were declared to have an useless power.

Thrown into an arena of death, a nightmarish battleground where alliances were fleeting, and trust was a rarity, Keiran and Luna confronted harrowing challenges. Their father, consumed by lust for power, had cast them into this hellish arena, hoping they would emerge as formidable survivors. In this area there were no rules only winners and dead bodies.

Amidst the savagery of the arena, a guiding light emerged in the form of an enigmatic system. Whispers of guidance reached out to them, offering cues that led to survival opportunities, alliances, and ways to manipulate the arena's dynamics.

One wish was promised to those who reached the peak of the "Infinite" Tower. ... more>>

One wish that spurred thousands to ascend, yet despite their toils, their hopes, and dreams, none managed to reach the top.

Until one. His name destined to go down in history as the first. Odysseus.

To him, the tower meant 20 years of bloodshed carved through 200 floors of horrors. Trampling on the bodies of those blessed by gods who came before him. No action too detestable, no moral high ground to hold him back, No monster, mortal, or divine being capable of halting his ascent. But when his goal was finally achieved at the end of that long climb, there was only a void left to linger in the silence of his heart pierced by a dagger.

Fame.

Fortune.

Escape.

Love?

All had been long abandoned in his dogmatic pursuit, leaving those who bore witness to to his ascension left to ask,

"What could a man with the power of a god possibly wish for?"

She woke up in the far north of a broken empire, in a world inhabited by countless species of monsters and races of man.

As half of the lands had fallen to the march of the Blighted Multitude, so will the other—defeat was what Hiero, a Draecontyr, one who stole power from the dragons, foresaw.

A bleak future, but the only option in his mind.

Three centuries later, Hiero awakens.

Being alive was the least of his surprises. Expecting a land ravaged by unquenchable flames, with a handful struggling to survive, he instead beheld a kingdom where peace and prosperity abound. Follow Hiero as he pieces together lost history and prepares for its repeat. For if he is alive, so too is the ancient evil he tried to bring down with him.

I am simply reimagining a beloved character from the first story ever written by humanity from those ancient days, and taking my spin on it.

This is the second, renewed version of the story since apparently the first one was too incomprehensible. I have tried my best to make this one much more coherent, so please stick around and I am sure the story will make sense.
