> They called me weak. F-rank. Slave. Then I killed a champion… and the System changed. Now I absorb power from every hero I slay. I raise their shadows. And I fight for vengeance in a blood-soaked arena where strength is survival. This is no game anymore. This is war. And I’m not here to survive. I’m here to win. _____________ > "They said it was just a game. But the first time I bled… I knew this was real." Wicky was a shut-in with no friends, no future, and no will to go on—until he received a strange message: > “One game. One winner. Prize: $100 million.” He clicked. He registered. And his blood sealed the pact. Now, trapped inside a brutal realm governed by the Eternal War System, Wicky awakens in a world ruled by violence—where gladiators bleed for the crowd, nobles wager lives for gold, and SSS-Rank heroes become living gods. His first rank? F. Slave. Nothing. Tossed into the training pits of House Krail, Wicky should have died. But fate had other plans. A hidden system awakens—one only he can see. A system that evolves every time he kills. > ❖ Absorb enemy power ❖ Kill ranked gladiators ❖ Level up by death ❖ Rise… without limit He gains more than strength. He gains skills. Shadows. Weapons that answer to his thoughts. And a hunger to rise. But when the arena claims the lives of his only friends, everything changes. Wicky becomes more than a survivor. He becomes a reaper of champions. > “I kill heroes to level up. And I won’t stop until I become the system’s god.” As wars ignite, champions fall, and dungeons whisper his name, Wicky will claw his way up the ranks of power—one kill at a time. And when the world bleeds… They’ll remember the slave who turned gods into corpses.

One moment, I was a 28-year-old corporate slave with caffeine dependency and carpal tunnel. The next? Reborn as a princess. Born with a divine bloodline, a spirit-blessed father, and a moon-marked destiny—my new life began in chaos. Before I could even open my eyes, assassins were chasing my mother through a blizzard. Fourteen years later, I’m alive and well… pretending to be a fruit shop owner in the East. My fruits? Magical. My servants? Lethal. My identity? A royal secret buried by time and tragedy. Then came the masked prince. A one-night stand. A soulmate mark. Now he’s searching for me like I’m the last goddess-blessed peach on the continent. I was supposed to lie low. I ended up breaking the world instead. Reincarnation, magic, smut, and a second chance at destiny—this is the story of a princess who just wanted peace… and ended up with a prophecy.

A word of advice for surviving a place like Schroon Falls: If a ghost offers you a job, take the money. The dead, after all, are famously bad with paperwork. Just be careful. In a town of crumbling manors and modernist cubes, every shadow has an angle and every echo has an agenda. The most convincing hauntings aren’t about the ghosts themselves, but about the person they’ve chosen to speak through. Sanity is negotiable. Rent is not.

In a modern world where shifters exist alongside humans, the serpent, wolf, and dragon clans remain the most powerful and well-known. Bai Woorim, a descendant of the elite white snake clan, lives a life of wealth, indulgence, and fleeting relationships. Known for his charm and his carelessness, he has never taken anything seriously not even the people he claimed to love. After a long-term girlfriend ends their relationship in tears, Woorim finally begins to reflect on the damage he has caused. For the first time in his life, he admits to himself that he does not know how to love. He steps away from his usual life of clubs, parties, and shallow friendships, seeking peace and clarity in the quiet. His mother, who has always spoiled him but hoped he would change, encourages him to face his mistakes and try to become someone better. While trying to rebuild, Woorim meets a young man from the wolf clan. The stranger is sharp-eyed, cold, and difficult to approach, but Woorim senses something familiar in him. The scent, the gaze, the quiet presence, all of it feels like something from a distant dream. The wolf seems to know him, yet treats him like a stranger. Woorim does not believe in fate, but something about this meeting unsettles him. As their paths continue to cross, he begins to suspect that this wolf may be more than he appears. And although Woorim has hurt many in the past, this time, he may be the one who is left behind.

I should’ve run. When the blood-soaked man collapsed on me in that alley, I should’ve screamed. Called the cops. Bolted. But I didn’t. I can't even say why. He threatened me yet I dragged him home. I disinfected his wounds. I let him stay, hoping he'd leave me alone but he didn't. And now? Now the devil sleeps on my couch, cooks me breakfast, and kisses like sin itself. He says his name is Kieran. Says he’s hiding. Says he won’t hurt me... unless I give him a reason. But the men hunting him aren’t just thugs. They’re ghosts in tailored suits and bloody silk gloves. Politicians. Kingmakers. Killers. And he’s not just some criminal. He’s the Kingpin. The one they whisper about when the lights go out. The one they’ve been trying to erase. I was just a miserable office girl with a boyfriend that was both a green and red flag, a family who barely registered my presence unless to mock me or demand for money and a life going nowhere. Now I’m in the crossfire of empires. My name is Kina. And I think I’ve fallen in love with the last man on earth who deserves it. But love won’t save us. Only war will.

She was a pawn in a conspiracy, forced to marry a man in a coma, the infamous, untouchable heir of the Bennett family, just to “bring him luck.” But on their wedding night, Nevaeh Huck did something no one expected: A single prick of her silver needle, and the sleeping devil opened his eyes. Cold. Arrogant. Breathtakingly dangerous. "Divorce," Cassius Bennett growled, staring at the woman who dared to stand beside his bed. "I don’t care who you are. Get lost." "I saved your life, Cassius Bennett!" ""If superstition could save lives, who needs doctors?" He rejected her. Humiliated her. Tried to erase every trace of her. But he forgot one thing: she wasn't a weak little pawn. She was fire, the kind that leaves scars. And just when she turned her back on him… he started showing up everywhere. At her workplace. Outside her apartment. In her dreams. "Wife," he whispered one night, eyes dark with desire, "since you woke me up… don’t even dream of waking up next to anyone else." She rolled her eyes. "Good dogs don't block the road." "Then leash me," he murmured. "I’ll follow you for the rest of my life." But what neither of them expected… was that her needle didn’t just wake a man. It awakened a storm. And now, the man the world feared is willing to burn it all down just to keep her. Enemies want her gone. Secrets want her broken. But the tyrant she accidentally saved? He wants her body, soul, and name. Forever. Get ready for a slow-burn obsession, hidden power plays, revenge, and a love that began with a single needle prick, but might end in blood.

"Now you see?" she shouted in a tone that was somewhere between annoyance and disappointment. "You can’t outsmart Scrients! They’re the most intelligent beings across the two realms!" "You’re right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a solemn sigh. "I made a mistake. I was arrogant to think a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "...Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I’m not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait! You can’t. I killed them all." --- My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid and pointless scuffle. And in the middle of it, I tripped and smacked my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in… Memories of a different life. Memories of another world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First: I was inside a game I used to play in my past life. Second: I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool, mysterious, tragic kind either! No, I was the worst kind of cliché — a spoiled, insufferable, and arrogant young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. You know the type! The one everyone hates. The one the hero would beat into the ground to show everyone just how strong and righteous he is. Yeah. I was that guy! My fate was to be a stepping stone for the main characters, be manipulated by a Demon Prince, and die a dog's death. And the hero? The hero was the same kid I’d been bullying all this time. The one I just got into a fight with. He was supposed to be the savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And waiting at the end of it all was the final antagonist. The unbeatable nightmare. …The Spirit King. But could I even make it to the end? Could I really survive in a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that had now become my reality? “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could. But I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, altering the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains long before they could become threats — nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected by my actions? Excellent! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me. My survival. My life. My choices. “I’ll live this life with no regrets.” ...But as I soon discovered, fate wasn't so easily changed. And the price of rewriting your destiny was steep. ========== Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VjFQtDUaTR

I Woke Up as the Beast King follows a modern-day transmigrator who finds herself reborn as Felicity, the vicious tiger destined to be slain by the ruthless cultivator Silas Brooks in the climax of a xianxia novel. Trapped in the body of a magnificent beast with human instincts—squeamish about blood, picky about food, and hopelessly clumsy—Felicity upends the original plot by surviving Silas’ blade through sheer absurdity. Forced into an uneasy alliance, the two navigate a world of scheming sects and vengeful spirits. Along the way, Felicity befriends Celia, a fiery fox spirit with hidden motives, while Silas struggles between his duty to exterminate demons and his growing attachment to this baffling, human-hearted tiger. As Felicity masters her shapeshifting abilities, she discovers darker truths: Celia manipulated her to awaken her spirit core, and Silas’ sect has orchestrated her role in his ascension. When a village crisis forces Felicity to unleash her full power, Silas spirals into madness, slaughtering his own sect upon mistakenly believing her dead. The story culminates in a desperate reunion at the cliff’s edge, where Felicity stops his suicidal leap—not out of obligation, but because their fractured souls, though scarred by betrayal, refuse to let go. Blending dark humor and emotional depth, the tale explores identity, found family, and the chaos of rewriting fate. Final line: "Yes," I breathed against his mouth. "I'm home."

[WSA ENTRY 2025] ... "There is no god, only the echo of our fears, bound together in a symphony of false hope, woven to make this endless cycle of pain bearable... But I refuse to be just another note in their song. I will not be silenced to protect the gate you so desperately uphold. I don’t care for the blind masses; they are but shadows, moving without purpose. If I cannot run, I will walk. If I cannot walk, I will crawl. If I cannot crawl, I will roll. And if all that remains of me is a severed head, then I will still glare at you with the scorn of the relentless." ...

Now, with a system that defies all logic, Timothy must carve his path, facing enemies both human and monstrous, as he ascends from the lowest depths to claim a throne none believed he could reach. AUTHORS NOTE: I put it under a restricted audience because of the following reasons; There is a huge amount of blood and gore meaning a lot of action and adventure. An equally adequate amount of romance with a pinch of R18 just to emphasize the points. Don't take the world-building to heart; Nigeria is better than that Kinda... If you survive the first volume, then keep it up after dropping your thoughts in reviews. I upload 1500+ words per chapter, and that means I may not participate in many chapter giveaways except when milestones are reached. Again, I appreciate your advice, thoughts, and criticism even more. The synopsis will keep changing as the story progresses. And yes, It's the familiar hunter's trope spun around in my head because I love the solo leveling light novel, so... have a fun read, I hope.
