Grinding

Chapter 9 is the beginning of Elijah's new life, his new life starts in the year 1000 AD (after creation) MindWarp Synopsis: Following a horrific car crash, Elijah, a man of Deistic faith and a life of ease, awakens in a baffling new reality. He immediately senses a glitch in the machine of reality as fleeting text contradicts the divine facade of Phelena, the 'Goddess of Life,' revealing a deeper System at play. Violently expelled from this first deception, Elijah is abruptly reborn as an infant named Elias—a name cruelly echoing past trauma. He endures the grinding gears of a primitive hovel's poverty and the wiring beneath the veil of a kingdom ruled by a callous prince and an oppressive Montala religion. Scarred by his previous experience, Elias is cynical, pragmatic, and utterly detached, striving only to discern truth from the omnipresent illusions. An unintended glimpse leads him to Lady Seraphina, the sharp daughter of a Duke. Now at court, Elias cultivates an intellectual, family-like bond with her to gain influence. His ultimate aim: to introduce the universal moral and philosophical tenets of the Bible, countering the false gods of Montala. But as he navigates escalating intrigue, Elias must relentlessly hide the adult mind within, battling constant paranoia about reality and the pervasive threat of exposure. Elijah will die at age 50 in a battle at the border of his kingdom. This death will occur at paragraph 300 and will not be the end of this story. Lyra, their diplomat daughter will then be the main character. For clarification Elijah will have 6 children. [This novel is produced with the help of Gemini however the storyline is fully my design]

Raven wakes up inside his favorite yet his most hated novel— Only to realize he’s been cast as the poor, miserable protagonist whose entire life is basically just a high-budget tragedy. He would've been happy with being a extra, but he was the protagonist of the most tragic story he had ever read. It was a story so bad that it had passed Betrayal check, double Torture arc check, and triple goddamn checks for Dead puppy backstory. But Raven’s not here to cry for reader sympathy. He’s got a system! …Which is completely locked and probably built by interns. He knows the plot! …Well, at least up to Volume 6 before he was reincarnated. But Raven’s had enough. He’s not grinding through heartbreak just to "build character." He’s dodging flags like a speedrunner with trauma flashbacks. That soul-crushing betrayal scene? "Nope, I changed the locks and ghosted them." The tragic best friend death? "Plot armor, activated. We’re not doing this today." The noble self-sacrifice to save the world? "I nominate literally anyone else." Armed with sarcasm, meta-knowledge, and a stubborn refusal to suffer for plot development, Raven’s writing a brand-new tale. One where the main character actually gets to be happy for once… Or at least less miserable than the original script demanded. This time, fate plays by his rules. And rule #1? "If the storyline sucks, I’m skipping the chapter." ............................................. What you can get from the story: - 1. A good laugh. 2. A harem that isn't braindead. 3. An MC who grows (both physically and mentally) as the story goes. 4. An MC who wants to avoid trouble, no matter what kind it is as he already has a lot of trouble in his life, but that doesn't mean he would smile if you insult him (he ain't a pushover). 5. A plot where every character would feel alive. 6. A plot with no yuri or NTR; those are not my cup of tea. .............................................

Vincenzo Moretti was once a gang boss in Naples—feared, precise, and broken by the loss of his family. Now, he wakes in a dying village on another world. No magic. No prophecy. Just filth, silence, and survival. No one speaks to him. No one helps. So he gets to work—clearing waste, carving trenches, shaping order from ruin. Because if he can't change the past, he'll fix what's rotting right in front of him—one cut of earth at a time. No powers. No destiny. Just a man, his ghosts, and the quiet grind of redemption.

He shattered the heavens… and got isekai’d into a crazy desert survival game! Xu Tao cultivated for ten thousand years, defying death and destiny to reach the Divine Heaven Immortal Stage. But just as he touched the heavens— The heavens kicked him into a world based on a full-dive VR game. Now he’s got no Qi. No weapons, no cultivation… and no pants. Just a desert full of monsters, a glitchy “Lost System” that won’t shut up, and knowledge forged from millennia of clawing his way to the top. Enemies? Weaklings. Mystic beasts? Drop garbage loot. Level caps? He’s Xu Tao. He didn’t spend ten millennia chasing immortality just to get wiped by a scorpion in a tutorial-zone! But he’s definitely not here to play. He’s here to ascend—again. Even if this time, he has to grind EXP and punch sand beetles to do it. But wait... That's not all...? He could also...

Transmigrated into the world of wizards, Lynn possesses the talent of "Heaven Rewards Diligence" -effort brings rewards. As long as he keeps grinding, he can grow into a great, all-rounded wizard! But Lynn never expected that he would end up in the territory of the black wizards, where life-and-death trials begin immediately, leaving him no time to develop!

Jiang Ning Transmigrates at a Time of Turmoil To protect himself, he began training in martial arts using his “grinding experience” panel, quietly building his strength. Gradually, he discovered that as his cultivation techniques broke through their limits, various attributes began to manifest some even concealing the authority of divine beings. Through the martial path, he started to harness both divine authority and innate supernatural powers. [Five-Animal Fist] : From the initial grind to the perfected state constantly breaking through limits and acquiring various attributes: the five vital organs store essence and each harbors divine power. [Indestructible Body] : From the initial grind to perfection continuously shattering limits and acquiring myriad attributes, endowing him with an unbreakable golden body and immortal divine bones. [Inner Alchemy and Life Cultivation] : From the initial grind to perfection relentlessly breaks limits and gathers various attributes that allow him to remain at the pinnacle and attain immortality. One day, the Martial Saint who had kept the world subdued for eight hundred years struck at him. He slowly smiled. “Are you trying to attack a divine being?” When the very weapon once capable of slaying immortals and annihilating gods fell upon his head, he merely tilted his head slightly; not a single hair was disturbed. “My foundation has long been forged into an indestructible golden body!”

Deserted. Ripped from his family. Thrown into a facility where being human is a crime, and survival means obedience. This is the White Room — a place designed not to teach, but to erase. A machine that grinds down children into tools. Weapons. Puppets without emotion. He was supposed to be just another product — another number. But something inside him refuses to die. Now, as the system begins to turn him into a killer, he faces a choice: Become their perfect weapon... or burn their whole world down.

Zane was just a working-class adult with a passion for one thing—Cursed Bloodline Online, the once-revolutionary game that had faded into obscurity. After six long years of grinding, he was finally on the verge of ascension—until everything changed. His bloodline suddenly reset. The world itself changed immediately after. And without warning, everyone between the ages of sixteen to thirty vanished—pulled into the game’s world. Now trapped in the Realm of Bloodlines, Zane finds himself different from the others. While most awaken standard paths to power, he inherits a hidden Bloodline Class—the Cursed Bloodline of the Vampire Progenitor, the same bloodline that mysteriously appeared on his account just moments before the transfer. Alone, hunted, and feared as one of the last of a forgotten, despised race, Zane must fight to survive. To grow stronger before the world turns on him. To uncover the secrets of his cursed identity. And to discover what force brought them all into this deadly game. Slowly but surely, he forgets himself from the past, overtaken by the life of the body he now inhabits and the mysteries that surround it, becoming the very thing that caused the gods to curse his race in the first place.

After dying in a tragic accident, 25-year-old Sung-won wakes up back in his teenage body—with one huge difference: a mysterious voice declares him a VIP user of the "Super Golf System." Now 16 again, Sung-won gets a second chance to pursue the dream he abandoned—becoming a professional golfer. Armed with the System’s swing analysis, passive stat boosts, and performance tracking, he begins training relentlessly to gain entry into the elite Seoul ProVision Golf Academy. But the world of competitive golf is far more brutal and advanced than he ever imagined. Top-ranked prodigies, powerhouse rivals with national sponsorships, and prodigies like the cold-blooded Lee Tae-hun and iron-willed Choi Jin-tae dominate the youth circuit. Sung-won, a no-name rookie with no backing and no coach—except a grumpy retired pro—must grind his way to the top through intense training, local tournaments, and mental warfare on the green. Every swing is a step toward redemption. Every victory chips away at fate. And the System? It's only just begun unlocking its true potential.

Lu Sheng, who transmigrates to the Star Sea Era, unexpectedly acquires an attribute panel capable of solidifying every single advancement he makes. In this perilous world filled with alien gods, immortals, Mechanical Ascenders, and more, Lu Sheng relies on himself to progress from mortal flesh to the singular True Self. Years later... Lu Sheng flying across the universe, gazes upon the endless darkness at the edge of the cosmos, where a colossal being as vast as the Milky Way Galaxy—once recorded in mythologies of Blue Star—resides. He speaks faintly, “You might be the most formidable Galactic Life Form I’ve ever encountered. Calling you a god wouldn’t be unjustified.” “Yet it’s a pity, for I have already established the foundation of the Great Dao and forged the singular True Self. Henceforth... you may call me the Martial God!”

Dane Harper's life was a monotonous grind. Stuck in a soul-sucking 9-to-9 job with barely any time to breathe, his only escape was the world of visual novels. From anime to manga, light novels to webnovels, Dane had consumed it all, but nothing compared to his ultimate obsession: Harem, Dragons, and Deities (HDXD). This legendary visual novel was a masterpiece of high fantasy, packed with detailed lore, jaw-dropping twists, and, of course, an insane harem of monster girls and powerful women. Dane had spent nearly 7,000 hours playing it, chasing every ending possible, especially the legendary [Overlord of Humanity Ending], where the protagonist builds a massive harem and spreads his superior genes across the HDXD universe. But when a cosmic accident caused by a mischievous witch-in-training, Beatrice, wipes out the entire human universe, Dane's life takes an unexpected turn. As the first soul to be reincarnated, Dane is offered two wishes by Beatrice: a world of his choosing and a fragment of her power. Without hesitation, Dane chooses the world of HDXD, a place he knows inside and out, and a unique ability to help him survive: the Omni Harem System. This system not only helps him level up and gain unique powers but also guides him in building the ultimate harem. Now, reborn as some random extra of this hellish game, Dane is ready to live out his wildest fantasies. His life goal, walk over the MC, and replace him... But this isn't just a game anymore; it's real life, and the stakes are higher than ever. From battling dragons and deities to navigating the complex personalities of the women around him, Dane must use his knowledge of HDXD and his new powers to carve out his destiny without getting curve stomp by the overpowered people around him. But let's be real, becoming the Overlord of Humanity isn’t going to be a walk in the park. This is HDXD we’re talking about; a world where one wrong move can lead to a bad ending so messed up it'll haunt your dreams. As such, every step towards that ending requires heart, commitment, and sheer will, and you best believe Dane is aiming for that ending at all costs.

Among countless online games, one name is at the pinnacle: The Old Quest. It's a never-ending world of grind, and the concept of "max level" is an urban myth. Right in the middle of this virtual frontier is a young man—a dedicated gamer driven by an insatiable ambition to reach unprecedented heights in the game. He fuels his determination and attains a level so monumental that he has begun to shake the very core of The Old Quest. But when this seemed like the ultimate challenge overcome, the game sprang yet another surprise on him—a message from the developers and a new prompt "Become a god race" which turned an upheaval in his gaming journey. God of Grinding is a tale of persistence and strength but, maybe even more importantly, about plot twists that come with success. It's a virtual journey based on one crucial question: what happens when a player becomes a god? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Join our discord: https://discord.gg/v9QSTrDQS6

In a world reborn from catastrophe, humanity's survival depends on the System. Everyone has a role—Guardian, Sorcerer, Warrior—everyone but Lin Yu. Waking from a decades-long coma with no memories, a botched integration into the System left him a "Zero"—powerless, skill-less, and outcast. His only job is to be a "Pack Mule," hauling loot for hunters who despise him, a living ghost in a world of legendary heroes. His only solace is Su Wan, a kind-hearted Warrior whose simple gesture of holding his hand through the chaotic dimensional Gates is the one thing he can count on. But one act of bitter jealousy shatters everything. A forbidden hex, a broken connection—and Lin Yu is flung not into a familiar, safe Layer, but into a primordial hellscape where death is a certainty. Left to bleed out under an alien sky, something long-dormant and broken within him finally awakens. A glitched screen, a sarcastic voice in his head, and a single, god-like skill: Imitate. He can copy any power he sees, but mastering it will require a trial of blood and fire unlike any other. The price of power is steep, but the cost of weakness is death. To survive, he must not just hunt—he must become the ultimate predator. He entered the Door a Zero. He will return a Monarch. ________________________________________ A Note From the Author This story is a journey of progression and power, blending elements of LitRPG, portal fantasy, and cultivation.

Dragon’s Tale: Ultimate was the VRMMORPG to end all VRMMORPGs—a fantasy world where players chose from hundreds of dragon classes to fight, grind, evolve, and eventually ascend to the legendary title of [Dragon Sage], a divine heavenly serpent. Shake the heavens, change the meta entirely. It was something that all fought for, but none achieved. 17-year-old Ryuuzen Valeflame was this close to achieving it. One of the top players. Dark Silver Dragonoid breed. Built different. But sabotage, backstabs, and RNG hell meant he never reached the endgame title. So, in the final hours before the servers shut down forever, he decided to solo one of the hardest legacy bosses—just for the memories. He did not expect to get hit by [Tier 0: Medusa’s Stare] and turn to stone mid-fight. He also didn’t expect the shutdown to happen before he could hit the logout button. And so he stayed. Frozen. Forgotten. For thousands of in-game years. Until now. Ryuuzen wakes up in a very different Dragonia—no players, no devs, just ancient legends and glitchy memories of the old world. Turns out, he’s still a Dark Silver Dragon… and now technically a divine being revered. So yeah. If he’s gonna be stuck here? He might as well finally become the [Dragon Sage]—for real this time. Join Ryuuzen on his chaotic journey through a world that barely remembers what patch notes even were. With absurd companions, cults who think he’s a god, and enough overpowered dragon nonsense to crash an old server—this isekai is about to get out of hand. - - - - - - - [!] Discord server dropping soon!

Hell’s Escape is a dark, psychological action saga about damnation, survival… and the possibility of redemption. When the wicked die, they descend into a realm of fire and shadow—Hell, where the most corrupted souls, the Hellbound, face a gauntlet of seven deadly trials. Each trial is a crucible forged from a deadly sin and its opposing virtue. Only those who embody the virtues and resist the weight of their sin can ascend and be reborn. The rest are damned forever. Each Hellbound is branded with two marks: – A sin, granting cursed power that grows stronger the more it devours them. – A virtue, the key to real strength, and the only path to escape. Enter Damien Veyne, a manipulative murderer once feared as the devil himself. He has no illusions of sainthood and no desire for forgiveness. But in a system designed to grind monsters into martyrs, or erase them entirely, he’s forced to confront a harrowing truth: Only those who change survive. Only those who redeem escape. As Damien claws through monsters, sinners, and twisted reflections of humanity, a question stalks him like a shadow: Can a man built on lies ever find something real enough to redeem?

He was the last to log out. While 98% of humanity refused The Calling, Kenji Tanaka embraced it. He spent nearly three centuries grinding in a solo tutorial dungeon, becoming an unrivaled Berserker Lord. When he finally returned, he was a Level 786 regressor in a world where the "strongest" Hunter is a mere Level 122. But the home he returned to is broken, ruled by the very systems he mastered. His family struggles under the thumb of arrogant, low-level Guilds. Stripped of his legend and hiding his apocalyptic power, Kenji must navigate a new kind of game—one of corporate espionage, shadow politics, and quiet conquest. He has the power to shatter mountains, but his greatest weapon might be the lie that he's just another average Returner. This isn't a story about climbing a tower; it's about building an empire from the shadows to protect the only thing he has left

"What? It's not my fault that I am just too overpowered!" After sacrificing his childhood, his dreams, his fun high school life, and even his adult university years, Ian was sure success was just around the corner. But life had other plans. He had topped every exam, done everything by the book, and worked harder than anyone else. But still, no dream job. No satisfying love life. Just day after day of empty struggle. One night, while walking home after another long overtime shift, he saw a shooting star and made a wish, "This world should burn! Apocalypse should descend!" His wish was answered. A meteor fell on him, and he died. When Ian opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated into a younger version of himself in the apocalypse, where monsters ruled the world and unknown beings lived in the shadows. And floating in front of him… was a screen. While everyone had a level up system where they had to grind to get strong, Ian had something unique. “What’s this… Limitless System…?” [You have received a set of quests! 1) Run 10 kms in an hour! → Reward: Super speed. 2) Perform 100 push-ups in 30 minutes! → Reward: Super strength. 3) Jump 100 times in 10 minutes. → Reward: Flight.] Ian could have any and all the superpowers as he wished, but there was one problem… the world had also changed with him and it wasn’t exactly how he remembered.

Li Feng was just a regular pervy guy from Earth who somehow landed in a world where cultivators cared way more about the Dao than their own bodies. On his first day, by some crazy luck, he found 35,000 spirit stones on a dead cultivator. He blew 30,000 of those stones just to buy his way into one of the top sects as an outer disciple. After years of grinding and nearly burning through the rest of his stones trying to break through, he’s still stuck at the lowest cultivation level. Now, with only a hundred stones left and his patience running thin, he decides to spend those last stones on a night of mortal pleasure with a cold, distant senior sister who usually doesn’t give a damn about things like that. She agrees ,not because she’s interested, but because the price is hard to say no to. What Li Feng doesn’t realize is that this reckless move give him the chance to finally break free from his bottleneck and change everything. ( Kinda is a ero novel, don't take it too seriously)

Once upon a time—okay, more like Tuesday—Earth had a problem. Specifically, the kind of problem that comes with teeth, shadows, and a complete disregard for physics. They called it The Darkness. It showed up one day, wrecked the planet like it was a tutorial zone, and left humanity with two options: die screaming or die slightly later. That’s when a Supreme Being—possibly bored, possibly drunk on starlight—took pity on humanity and said: [“Alright, alright. You guys suck at surviving. Let’s try this again.”] With a snap (probably), the last remnants of mankind were transported to a new world: Celestara—a magical realm with floating continents, talking crystals, and suspiciously cute monsters that will absolutely kill you if you blink wrong. Here, humans can awaken magical Jobs, unlock hidden Talents, and level up using a divine system called Vaelwyn—basically fantasy’s version of patch notes and grind culture. It’s like someone made life into a video game. Because... they did [Six hundred year later] And then there’s Kael Virean—a guy from a perfectly normal parallel Earth, where the biggest threat to humanity was bad Wi-Fi and overpriced DLCs. He also happened to be a VR game world champion, the kind of player who dodged boss attacks in his sleep. One day, he opened his eyes… and found himself transmigrated to Celestara—in the body of an 18-year-old boy, just moments away from his Awakening. Whatever that means. --- [Disclaimer: Want to know what happens next? Then start reading. Curiosity is a powerful thing.]

In a world where survival is the only law, Nyx Vaelen finds himself drifting through realms of endless trials, each more brutal than the last. The system offers no mercy, no guarantees, only the harsh truth: conquer or perish. As the landscapes around him shift, the weight of unspoken burdens grows heavier with every passing day. With each new world, he’s faced with the same question—how long can he keep going before everything collapses under the pressure? Driven by a quiet need to prove himself, Nyx pushes forward, even as the stakes rise higher and the chances of failure loom larger.

[You Have Been Chosen.] The apocalypse crashed my life in a single day: fired by my ruthless CEO, Mu Qinglan, abandoned by so-called friends, and chased by zombies through blood-slick streets. But at the brink of death, salvation appeared as a floating, glowing message—reality itself shifting into a game-like interface. [The Ruler System Has Activated.] I don't level up through grinding. Instead, each loyal beauty recruited becomes my strength. Every zombie killed feeds my rise. My first recruit? Mu Qinglan herself—Ice Queen CEO turned hungry undead.

In the near future, Divine Realm Century becomes the world’s only virtual reality game where in-game currency equals real-world money—a system-level economic platform that connects both worlds. Jiang Ci was once an ordinary player—forgettable, underpowered, and ultimately killed in battle. But fate gives him a second chance. Reborn on the very day the game launched, and armed with the full memory of his past life, Jiang Ci makes a shocking choice: he abandons the sword, the magic, and the hunt for glory— and chooses the most despised class of all: Merchant. No skills. No combat. No dungeons. What he does have is a keen eye for hidden treasures, a god-tier bargaining ability, and insider knowledge of every system exploit and market fluctuation from his previous life. While others grind monsters for scraps, he flips a wooden sword into a fortune. While guilds struggle through raids, he builds a trading network, manipulates potion prices, and establishes the Jiang Trading Company, shaking the entire in-game economy. But with fame comes enemies— Top guilds unite to blacklist him. Real-world investors move to control him. Even hidden bosses place bounties on his head. Until one day, the system announces: “The Merchant Throne shall be crowned. The victor will hold the power to control the game’s economy.” Jiang Ci smiles coldly. “You made the rules.
