Fates Hand

Abandoned as children in the quiet village of Eldermere, Adrian and his sister Evelyn were taken in by John, a grieving man who had lost his own family to war. Under his care, the two siblings grew up as each other’s lifeline—but their fates couldn’t be more different. Adrian was born with unnatural luck. Everything fell into place for him—danger missed, opportunities landed in his lap, misfortune never stuck. But Evelyn was cursed from birth. Disaster followed her like a shadow, every step she took marred by cruel chance and unrelenting pain. She learned to keep her distance from everyone but Adrian—the only constant in her chaotic world. Then everything shattered. Evelyn is kidnapped by a cosmic being—Althazar, a god twisted by order—who sees Adrian as a glitch in the fabric of fate. In his hatred, Althazar forges a custom curse that slowly drains Adrian’s luck away, forcing him into a brutal world of assassins, secrets, and survival. As Adrian ventures deeper into a world he was never meant to face, he can no longer rely on the one thing that always protected him. His only choice is to grow stronger, fight harder, and face a universe that wants him erased—all to bring back the sister he promised he'd always protect. Shattered Fortune is a dark fantasy about cursed fate, broken laws of reality, and how far someone will go when destiny turns its back on them.

"In a world where destiny is consumed, karma bleeds, and power blooms from the corpses of the worthy..." Han Zheng was a prodigy doctor, a master of surgery with a monstrous past—until the law caught up. Executed for forbidden experiments, his soul is dragged into a cultivation world shaped by **karma**, **legacy**, and **suffering**. Reborn inside the half-dead body of a failed sacrifice, Han Zheng awakens bound to a parasitic karmic entity: **The Sinful Tree**. This tree doesn’t grant power freely—it devours **fate**, **emotions**, and **lives**, feeding him twisted **Dao Fruits** that come at a steep cost. Every power comes with pain. Every kill leaves a scar. Every advancement corrupts his soul. In a land ruled by ancient clans, divine beasts, and righteous sects hiding rotting secrets, Han Zheng must claw his way up from nothing—armed with cold logic, surgical cruelty, and a hunger that will never be satisfied. He will not become a hero. He does not seek justice. He will become the Devourer of Fates.

'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'

Riya believed her life was already complicated enough — juggling work, family pressure, and a past that refuses to fade. What she didn’t expect was a car crash… with a stranger who pushed all her buttons. She lashed out without filter, calling him every rude name in the book — not knowing he was Ryansh Malhotra, the aloof, arrogant CEO of the very company she worked for. Ryansh — cold, calculating, and used to control — is shocked and strangely intrigued by this firecracker of a girl who dared to speak to him like no one else ever had. Instead of punishing her, he does something worse — he keeps her close. What begins as a series of sharp glances and heated arguments soon spirals into a tangled connection neither can deny. But secrets, office politics, and their haunting pasts threaten to ruin everything. Can love blossom between two souls bound by fate but divided by truth? Entangled Fates is a stormy tale of first impressions, hidden identities, and the dangerous line between hate and love.

In a world where gods have long vanished and cultivation reigns supreme, Shen Ziyan, a humble village boy, stumbles upon a severed hand—not just any hand, but one brimming with an unfathomable power, belonging to a Supreme God of Creation. From that moment on, his fate is forever changed. As ancient forces stir and hidden sects seek the remnants of divine power, Ziyan is thrust into a world of ruthless cultivators, forgotten legacies, and celestial conspiracies. His newfound strength grants him abilities beyond mortal comprehension, but it also marks him as a target for those who would stop at nothing to claim such power. With no sect to protect him and no master to guide him, Ziyan must forge his own path—one that will take him across grand cultivation realms, ancient ruins of lost civilizations, and battlefields where immortals once waged war. But the deeper he delves into his newfound power, the more he begins to question: Was the hand a blessing, or a curse? And if a god’s hand alone could shake the heavens—what happened to the rest of the body? As enemies close in and secrets unravel, Shen Ziyan embarks on an epic journey to uncover the truth of his power, ascend beyond the limits of cultivation, and defy the very heavens themselves. The path to divinity is paved with blood. And in the end, Ziyan will either rise as a god— -or fall like The ones before him.

As their paths collide through cryptic threats, a missing sister, and buried trauma, what begins as distrust erupts into a dangerous alliance. They’re forced to navigate a world of lies, codes, and shadows—together. But trust isn’t easily given, especially when every touch is a risk, and every secret could explode their fragile truce. Beneath gunmetal tension, smoldering glances, and stolen moments, something undeniable blooms. Love, maybe. Or obsession. But when the syndicate resurfaces with vengeance, Reina and Lorenzo must decide: will their twisted pasts destroy them, or will their forbidden connection become the one weapon that can set them free?

The apocalypse descends, zombies and monsters appear, followed by System Leveling, which grants skills to all survivors. With the collapse of law and order, some become powerful while others remain weak, and so the dark ages begin.

Not even the secrets between the families, the greed of humans, or even life and death, can undo it. And in the end, maybe Alex's mischievous grandfather has had the most foresight before his death when he made him the heir. Follow me on discord. https://discord.gg/C86EJvCJdd

For ten long years, Tatsuya Fukushu lived through hell. Every day, he was beaten. Every day, he was mocked. Every day, he was reminded that the world didn’t want someone like him. The cruelty of his classmates became routine—their fists, their words, their laughter. He endured it all in silence, believing that someday it would end. That someday, if he just kept going, peace would come. But peace never came. One day, something inside him shattered. And in a blind, terrifying moment of rage, he killed them—the three bullies who tormented him for a decade. His hands were stained. His heart, empty. He thought he would finally die. He wanted to die. Instead, he woke up in another world. A world of magic, kingdoms, and ancient prophecy. A world where people could fly, summon fire, and carve mountains with a sword. A world that felt too alive for someone as broken as him. Tatsuya didn’t rejoice at the second chance. He hated it. Hated the sky, the air, the mana that pulsed through him. He wanted silence. He wanted peace. And most of all—he wanted to disappear. But fate is rarely kind. A strange knight named Paul found him, battered and aimless. He claimed there was a prophecy. That someone like Tatsuya had been foretold. Tatsuya didn’t believe a word of it. He didn’t trust him. Why should he? But Paul didn’t ask him to believe. He simply trained him—day after day, sword in hand, never holding back. There were no kind words, only discipline. No promises, only purpose. And slowly, through blood and sweat, Tatsuya began to understand. Trust wasn’t something that came from words. It came from action. And maybe, just maybe… He wasn’t alone anymore.

He leaned against an old oak tree, arms crossed, dressed in all black as usual. The golden glow of sunset filtered through the branches, lighting half his face while the other half melted into shadow. “You came,” he said without looking at her. “Don’t act surprised,” Evelyn replied. “You told me to.” “I also thought you’d be smart enough to stay away.” She walked closer, squinting at him. “You told me the truth when no one else would. That earns you one hour of trust. Use it wisely.” Lucien pushed off the tree and started walking deeper into the woods. “Follow me.” Evelyn hesitated before falling into step beside him. “So... you’re a vampire. Just going to accept that now.” “That’s probably for the best.” “And you kill other vampires.” “Only the ones who break the rules,” he said. “Most of my kind... don’t follow laws anymore.” “And what rules are those?” Lucien’s jaw tightened. “Don’t hunt humans. Don’t create chaos. Don’t let anyone discover us.” Evelyn raised an eyebrow. “You're doing a pretty terrible job at that last one.” He looked at her sideways. “You were an exception.”
