WSA 2025 ENTRY! She was a princess – the proud rose of the empire. He was the Duke of the North – as cold and distant as the snow-covered land he ruled. Bound by a marriage neither could refuse.

Throughout history, Humans have strived for greatness, not only in name but in deeds as well, and many failed to achieve it.  It was no different in a Land of Dragons, Mythical beings, Knights, Mages, Demi-humans, and demonic beings. But their greatness came in a different form, a concept known as POWER.  The power to conquer, to build, to control, to protect, and to love.  Raffaelo Jun was a man born with a silver spoon, yet his sheltered upbringing prevented him from becoming the man he was meant to be.  He was unable to achieve the greatness of the prestigious family of the Jun household and became a sight of ridicule.  He was used for a while until he wasn't, then discarded and killed for being a threat to the throne, but Fate had other plans.  Reborn as a child, he starts over as the sole son of the Jun household, his actions brimming with intent.  He had one goal: attain the power that he once ignored and stand on the precipice of human existence, to protect all that are dear to him.  Note: It starts slowly until recent chapters. Interesting side characters, power systems, techniques, and a mixture of variety with the right blend.

When idealistic nonprofit founder Will Bennett locks eyes with Eliza Darcy, the tech world's coldest CEO, it's not sparks that fly — it's shrapnel. She calls his life’s work charity cosplay. He calls her emotionless corporate ice. But fate—and a high-stakes pitch—throws them back together. Behind her glass empire and polished armor, Eliza hides a past built on abandonment and ambition. She’s clawed her way to the top by trusting no one and feeling nothing. Will? He builds futures from the ground up, with nothing but heart, grit, and maddening optimism.

The life of Claude von Soler, Archduke of the Human Empire, was marked from childhood by a power few could comprehend: the absolute mastery of ice. With unparalleled talent, he became a general capable of defeating entire armies with a single swing of his sword—a prodigy feared as much by his enemies as by his own allies. But glory was not enough to fill the void of a cold heart or to protect what he loved most. Bound by ancient laws to take a wife, Claude accepted Sarina Le Ciel, a young noblewoman of humble origins whose courage and kindness broke through his walls of indifference. Together, they seemed destined to forge an unshakable legacy… until the emperor’s betrayal unleashed a devastating war that would destroy everything. When Sarina dies in his arms, Claude becomes a specter of ice and fury. Consumed by grief, he annihilates his enemies and those he once called brothers. Not even the fall of two empires is enough to restore what he lost. And when his own sword finally pierces his heart, only silence remains in his wake. However, fate has not finished with him. Claude awakens in his own past, fifteen years before his tragedy began, carrying all the memories of what will happen if he fails to change the course of history. This time, he will not allow his love to be lost. This time, his power will no longer be an instrument of obedience—but the key to shattering the chains that condemned him. Thus begins the second life of the Ice Demon King: a man determined to rewrite his destiny, even if doing so means defying an entire empire.

Shen Mo was just a college student—until one day, he awakened an extraordinary ability: the power to see all information about anything. Ripe watermelons? Check. Hidden illnesses? Diagnosed at a glance. His landlady's bust size? 35D or 36D, laid bare before his eyes... With such a power, he could have easily changed his life’s trajectory—acing his studies, winning over everyone around him, maybe even launching a wildly successful startup while still young, paving his way to the top of the world… But then, a talking black cat showed up in his apartment. Shen Mo: "Who are you? What do you want?" The Cat: "I’m here to warn you. Whatever you do—don’t accept anyone’s confession." Shen Mo: "Why not?" The Cat: "Because the world will end."

A young man's life takes an unexpected turn when he meets an untimely demise, buried beneath an avalanche. As he breathes his last, he hears the echoes of mechanical voices resonating in his head, granting him a multitude of wishes in the form of Skills, Fortunes, and a new Body. Reborn as an Ice Dragon, Drake finds himself thrust into a fantastical realm reminiscent of Norse Mythology known as Yggdrasil. This world, however, holds more surprises than he could have ever imagined. It is not only a realm of fantasy but also a Cultivation World, blending two seemingly disparate concepts into one. Join him on his journey as he explores this enchanting world, navigating its treacherous landscapes and encountering deadly monsters along the way. As he fights for survival, he seeks to find his place in this new existence and discover the purpose that drives him forward. Yet, he soon realizes that he is not alone in this reincarnated state. Others have been granted wishes as well, and the collision of their desires threatens to plunge the world into utter chaos. This is a tale of rebirth and transformation—a man's evolution from a humble Dragon Pup to the indomitable Strongest Dragon King. Along his path, he will forge new alliances, face formidable foes, and gradually establish a place he can truly call home.

In the last breath of a dying world, humanity clings to survival inside walled sanctuaries, surrounded by ruins and monsters born of forgotten sins. Kael is a loyal young soldier—devoted, idealistic, and ready to die for what remains of civilization. But when a mission into the wastelands uncovers something ancient buried in his blood, Kael begins to change. Visions. Strength. Whispers from something not quite human. And with them, truths emerge—about the monsters, about mankind, and about the fire waiting to consume them all. As factions fight for power, and cities fall like ash in the wind, Kael must make a choice: Save the world that raised him… …or become its end, and its salvation. A saga of monsters, rebellion, and destiny—To Devour the World and Save It is a dark fantasy epic where the line between hero and villain blurs with every drop of blood spilled.

For Lucian, who had lived a life full of betrayal, reincarnating into the world of the fantasy novel "Hero x Sword" wasn't a second chance—it was a grand annoyance to his desire for a quiet life. Reborn as Alaric Valerius, the son of a minor baron destined to be executed by the world's hero, he refuses to resign himself to such a troublesome fate. His goal is simple: to live his second life with maximum laziness and absolute peace. However, to escape this destiny and finally achieve the peace he craves, he is forced to do the most inefficient and forbidden thing imaginable: kill the world's symbol of hope, "The Saint of Solian." But this action tears the script of fate apart. The hero's death doesn't bring him the peace he craved. Instead, it awakens a new shadow that never existed in the original story. Strange, dark incidents begin to occur across the kingdom, heralding a far greater and more ominous disaster. Now, Alaric is the world's most wanted fugitive, though no one knows his identity. Led by Set de Medeiros—the grieving Minister of War and the hero's uncle—the kingdom's entire military might is deployed to hunt down the mysterious assassin. At the same time, Alaric is the only person who realizes the world is beginning to deviate from the novel's plot, with a new, unexpected threat on the rise. Hiding behind the mask of a lazy student who would rather sleep in class than train, Alaric must use all of his cunning to survive the greatest manhunt in the kingdom's history. It was all incredibly exhausting for him, but the prospect of death was a far greater annoyance than the effort required to live. Will his identity as the hero's killer be revealed? Can a man whose greatest motivation is laziness be forced to save the world? And in a world that has lost its light, what dangers await in the newborn darkness?

------------------- A Canadian man crosses into another world to search for his little sister, who was forcefully summoned years ago. As he navigates this strange new realm, he uncovers the horrific fates of previous summoned individuals and the sinister plans of the demons. Can he stop them from destroying the world? Can he shield his allies from the terrifying forces of darkness? Can he rescue his little sister before it's too late? Read to find out. ----------------------------------- A mix of Isekai, cultivation, sci-fi, and dark fantasy. ------------------- I've read and watched so many isekai where the MC past life is just a loser. So, I thought, why not make the MC actually a strong, successful man? Why not make him a gigachad who forced his way into another world instead of getting transported there passively? Why not have him prepared himself with everything he could before he enters the other world? Thus, this is my attempt in writing my own Isekai story where the MC's life on Earth actually matters, where there is an actual goal that is set even before the story begins. Of course, it will still be full of anime/ isekai stuff that I love. Especially the beginning, it's inspired by The Rising of the Shield Hero. Therefore, some chapters can be dark and disturbing. --------------------------- If you want, join my discord to chat! Let's discuss ideas together! https://discord.gg/vy3SDtyr R-18 tag is for the dark and gore parts.

I was a bully. Not the misunderstood type — the real deal. I ruined lives, made people cry, and laughed while doing it. Then I died. And woke up in a fantasy world full of swords, spells… and zero indoor plumbing.

The cold stone hall was dimly lit with flickering torches. Shadows stretched long across the floor. At the far end of the room, the King sat high on his throne, surrounded by High Lords, Generals, and Counselors. Silence hung thick in the air as the Ice Viking entered. He stood in the center, arms at his side, eyes forward. “Viking,” the King called from his seat. Varnok didn’t move. “Yes,” he replied flatly. One of the High Lords stood up in anger. “In the presence of your King—you kneel!” The knights draws their Swords. Varnok stayed still. “You’re not my king,” he said calmly. The King raised a hand. The knights lowered their swords. “Let him be,” the King said, leaning forward. “Ice Viking… step forward.” Varnok walked slowly across the cold stone floor. “There is war between the Vikings and this kingdom,” the King said. Varnok kept walking. “It’s your kingdom,” he answered. “That has nothing to do with me.” The lords murmured in outrage. “You think they’ll stop there?” the King asked, raising a hand for silence. “You know what those animals are like. Vikings… they don’t stop until they’ve burned everything to ash.” “And yet I’ve protected the village just fine,” Varnok said. “Without your help. Like it’s always been.” “Without my help, there’d be no village to protect,” the King snapped. “There is a village,” Varnok said, meeting his eyes. “And not once have you offered it your help.” “King... please. What an excuse.” The king nodded toward the general standing beside him. Without hesitation, the general stepped forward and struck Varnok across the face. Then a second punch to the stomach. Finally, a heavy kick to the leg. Varnok dropped to one knee. “Good,” the King said, tipping his goblet and pouring wine over Varnok’s head. “Like the animal you are.” Murmurs filled the hall. > "What an animal." "Fits clearly—a dog." "All Vikings should just die." "Disgusting things." The King laughed with joy as he was Pleased by the words of the people. He leaned forward again, with his voice low. “Maybe we should start with your wife… and child.” The room fell into a deadly stillness. Varnok’s eyes snapped open—glowing bright, ice-blue. A shiver cut through the entire hall. The ground began to vibrate. Goblets trembled. Torches flickered lower. Then came his voice—cold, deep, inhuman. Like the cracking of ancient glaciers. “If a single breath so much as brushes their skin…” “I will bring down such ruin upon this kingdom that even the crows will starve for lack of flesh. I will freeze your rivers. Silence your bells. And watch your palace rot from the inside—As your screams echo in halls no one dares enter. Pray your tongue forgets their names… before I remember yours.” No one moved everywhere was silent. Even the air seemed too afraid to stir.
