Have you ever wondered what a character in a novel or in a game should be?
Do they eat? Sleep? Do they have their own life when you are not reading or playing?
They do not.
When you are not doing anything, we stay still.
To be fair, think about your own life. Is it different from a game without a system? You can not see behind your back, similar to how a character has to render it in a game.
But at least, you have your own life.
While I have to watch the protagonist of the novel find his way into the pants of the female leads.
This is my destiny.
I'm not... more>> jealous. Not at all.

When Emily Coldstone discovers the lightning gem in the smouldering ruins of a crashed airship, her own fate, along with that of those she loves and those she hates, is sealed. Experimenting with the gem’s powers, Emily is awakened as a Mage and finds herself inducted into a secret world of magic by a mysterious entity, who sets her a task that will take her from the slums of her birth to war in the far reaches of space.

For Emily is far more powerful than anyone could have imagined. Not only is Emily a Mage, she is a Mechanic; her talents combining to create a Technomancer, a being capable of building herself an indestructible body, an army of spell-flinging robots, and her very own time machine.

Only for him to wake up again on the day of.... more>>

In a world of skills, titles and blessings; a smart time looper would perhaps scheme, plan, amass equipment and allies. But not Orodan. If there's one thing he's good at it's stubbornly trying the same thing over and over again via brute force till it's done.

A man is reincarnated in the Mass Effect Universe. At first, he was kinda scared about the possibility of dying to the Reapers, or other dangers across the huge galaxy. But, he persevered and, after making friends with Shepard and the crew, won the final battle.... more>>

He was happy and thrilled about the possibilities of his new life after the war. But, on the day he turned 28 years old, he returned back in time, to when he was a baby.

He was confused and mortified by the weird situation, but, our MC didn't let that shake his confidence. So, he tackled the plot of the game once more. But, again, after he turned 28, he returned in time. He finally had to admit to himself he was trapped in some sort of time loop but decided to continue ahead with his life(s). The problem was, this didn't happen just once.

2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times... 9 times. It slowly changed him, to the point he lost the will to try after a few cycles. He realized what he was doing was meaningless, because no matter what he did, the changes he made, nothing mattered, as he would be thrown back in time anyway. So, he deviated from the plot and started to study a variety of things and he didn't care about the fate of the galaxy anymore.

In those subsequent loops, he managed to become a master/expert in a lot of things, but the time loop never changed, and the MC started to lose hope of living a normal life.

But, after the 9 loop, he felt something different from the other cycles! Perhaps this is his final one?

Follow along and watch our MC conquer the whole galaxy, fighting the dangers inside it, and possibly getting a few girls along the way!

Ke Yin has a problem. Well, several problems.... more>>

First, he's actually Kane from Earth.

Second, he's stuck in a cultivation world where people don't just split mountains with a sword strike, they build entire universes inside their souls (and no, it's not a meditation metaphor).

Third, he's got a system with a snarky spiritual assistant that lets him possess the recently deceased across dimensions.

And finally, the elders at the Azure Peak Sect are asking why his soul realm contains both demonic cultivation and holy arts? Must be a natural talent.

Expectations:

- MC's main cultivation method will be plant based and related to World Trees (chapter 24)

- Weak to Strong MC

- MC will eventually create his own lifeforms within his soul as well as beings that can cultivate

- Main world is the first world (Azure Peak Sect)

- MC will revisit worlds (extensive world building of multiple realms)

- Light LitRPG aspects

- Time loop elements

- No harem

After three decades, Simon's life isn't what he hoped it would be. Taking his destiny into his own hands he decides to find another world where he can be the hero he was always meant to be. It turns out there's more to combat than having lightning reflexes with his controller though, and the path to being a hero is more brutal than he can imagine. Death after Death is a dark, sardonic take on the Isekai genre with roguelike elements. It explores some of the common tropes in a different light. ... more>>

The Time Looping Gamer ( Naruto )... more>>

[ Reuploaded, because i messed up a setting. ]

Reborn in the Naruto world, the MC finds himself in the middle of the third shinobi world war.

Finding out that he is merely Gennin cannon fodder who failed his Jonin sensei exam and was sent to the Gennin corps and from there sent directly to the battlefield merely a month later.

Finding himself with only the three basic academy jutsu and meager chakra, Kazuo strives to change his fate before heading into a mission only a few hours later.

Finding himself and his team members ambushed by a cloud Gennin team that outnumbers them with four more members compared to his 3 man squad.

Dying at their hands, Kazuo finds himself face to face with death itself, telling him to give up however he doesn't and thus he finds himself back at the start of the day with some sort of gamer system.

Knowing how the future would cast out to be Kazuo starts planning.

The story revolves around Kazuo as he works hard and dies over and over again but never gives up.

Will Kazuo survive or will he remain an unknown shinobi with his name inscribed on the will of fire memorial stone?

*Disclaimer*

The story will be quite slow-paced paced and he won't become op quickly.
There will be no romance at all.
Quite dark, especially with the descriptions of gore.

This is a story about a Villain and a Witch.... more>>

Disclaimer: Please note that this work will also be made available on Royal Road and Webnovel, in addition to its publication here.

Three years ago, the sky over the magical world of Nethermere cracked, spewing spaceships from a so-called "superior" civilization. Their invasion? A spectacular flop. King Burn of Soulnaught—the most powerful man alive, a tyrant, and a genius—crushed them. Or so the legend goes.

But the invaders stayed, hawking shiny tech and worming their way into Nethermere’s future. Colonization loomed. Burn wasn’t having it. If anyone was going to conquer the world, it’d be him.

And he succeede—nope.

She happened.

A maddeningly beautiful witch reset time itself—seven loops—undoing everything Burn worked for. Her curse turned him into a pawn in her twisted game.

"Why? You're wondering if I've trapped you in a time loop?" she taunted, all smiles. "It’s not just a spell but a curse! Dear Villain, you are now Witchbound!"

Burn, furious and cursing her name, didn’t know what infuriated him more: her power, her schemes, or the fact that her presence tempted him in ways he didn’t dare admit.

Usually, the devil did the tempting.

But when the angel was this seductiv—COUGH—manipulative, even the devil felt the chill.

What to expect from this story:

A time-loop-checkpoint conquest story where the end goal is conquering the universe. The MCs? A genuine, unapologetic villain rocking the Lawful Evil vibe and a devastatingly beautiful Chaotic Good witch. Dripping with sarcasm, paired with slow-burning worldbuilding so you'll figure things out as you go. It’s medium-paced, tackling heavy topics like politics, war, and tight plotting—but don’t worry, it's squeezed in romance-comedy breaks to keep you breathing.

Speaking of romance, it’s one of the major centerpieces of the story. One female lead, no romantic drama. But beware: this story might have too much romance for you to handle. If you’re afraid of that, well... only cowards skip out on romance!

Expect a cocktail of classic high fantasy tropes blended with science fiction. Think modern isekai/gate/space vibes, featuring magic, mecha, strong-to-stronger characters, manipulative masterminds, and deliciously insane moments. Add to that: character growth, intricate connections, a Seinen demographic focus, kingdom building, military campaigns, world invasions, an apocalyptic tone, and sprinkles of legends, myths, world lore, and fairy tales. <<less

Our protagonist was an ordinary guy with an aspiration to be called hero, yet people mistook his actions. Until one day he woke up to find himself in the very world of an anime he watched for the first time.

Determined not to get involved with the main characters for fear of changing the plot, he plans to stay in the background to plan for his future and let the protagonist handle everything. However, fate has a different surprise for him. As events unfold, he realizes that he may have a bigger role to play than he... more>> ever imagined.

College is supposed to be an exciting time, an opportunity to meet new friends and make lifelong relationships. However, Kaitlyn was never the social type. Her awkwardness and nervous stuttering meant that just talking to people was hard enough, not to mention romance.

Getting transported into a dating sim seems like the perfect opportunity to change that.

Faced with five handsome leads to pursue, the future looks bright and filled with possibilities. But as she fumbles through grueling classes, terrible advice, and gaming the system in Heartthrob University, it seems that getting isekai'd might not be the magical cure-all she hoped for. But that's ok. Even if cruel reality threatens her do-over, she can always try again.

And again.

And again. <<less

"Don't open the closet. Something hungry is inside."... more>>

Jacob wakes up in an apartment he does not recognize, with no memory of who he is or how he got there. His only clues come from a frustratingly carefree roommate, a police investigation into a string of disappearances, and a single warning: don't open the closet.

The more Jacob searches for answers, the more reality twists and turns around him. Time loops, the world reshapes itself, and every choice he makes feels like a step towards something he should not remember.

Because some doors don’t just hide secrets. They protect us from them. <<less

Rey's ordinary teenage life shatters.... more>>

He gains incredible powers, seemingly from a novel deeply tied to his past:

Instantaneous [Point Transfer].

A vast [Pocket Dimension].

Heightened [Third Eye] perception.

As he struggles to integrate these extraordinary abilities into his world of school, friendships, and existing personal grief, the immense power strains his closest bonds.

Rey must quickly master abilities he barely understands.

He must confront the immense responsibility they bring.

He fights to hold his fractured reality, and the people within it, together. <<less

Bubbles…... more>>

Soft, fragile, and fleeting. They drift without purpose, bursting at the slightest touch.

They aren’t weapons. They aren’t threats. Just harmless playthings, forgotten the moment they vanish.

But what if bubbles weren’t so innocent?

What if, in a world of Hunters—where magic shatters mountains and fists split seas—someone awakened a Skill based entirely on bubbles?

A joke. A death sentence.

Goblins would laugh.

The weak would pity him. The strong wouldn’t even bother to look twice.

But powers can hide secrets. And some truths are buried in plain sight.

When a nameless F-Rank awakens the “Bubble Skill,” no one expects him to survive.

Let alone rise.

However, the indomitable spirit of River Faelan refused to die.

Step by step, he climbed to the top—shattering every limit placed on a “mere” Bubble Mage.

He proved them all wrong.

And he’ll do it again,

Even if it means starting from the very bottom… for one more time.

English is not my native language, so there may be errors in the translation. This story is entirely fictional and takes place on a fantasy Earth. All countries, events, details, and characters are unrelated to any real individuals, countries, organizations, or groups. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.

This is the first novel in the Prehistoric Kingdom series.

Introduction:

Here, darkness reigns over light.

Here, tears overshadow joy.

Here, enmity and conspiracy thrive together.

Here, desires erode conscience; the dead kill the living, and humans slaughter and even cannibalize one another. Yet, amidst this chaos, human affection, family bonds, and romantic love endure.

Hoang Kim is caught in a cycle of past feuds and love-hate relationships, while present-day conspiracies and ruthless schemes shatter his life. As a renowned star, he constantly faces a world filled with people who wear human faces but possess beastly hearts—selfish, envious, deceitful, and exploiting his fame. When he and his family experience their downfall, they are trampled upon and scorned without mercy.

The apocalypse engulfs his life even before the world collapses, even before the zombies appear.

But Hoang Kim is not alone. He is joined by comrades and friends who stand by him through thick and thin. His female confidantes—exceptionally talented and beautiful—stand by his side, fighting alongside him to endure in a merciless world where humans prove more bloodthirsty than the zombies.

What must Hoang Kim and his loved ones do to survive in this cruel world?
