Mutation

"Born with power. Cursed by its cost." Ash Burns was made for greatness—and doomed by it. His hybrid vein held the promise of limitless strength, yet it shackled him in the first stage of evolution, a prisoner of his own potential. Then the asteroid exploded. It shattered his fate. Now, Ash wields the Titan Vein, a power that bends the laws of his fractured world—a planet split between humanity and horrors, divided by an impenetrable fog. But his newfound strength carries a soul-rending cost: he is no longer alone in his mind. An ancient entity, one step from godhood, stirs within him. And it’s starving. With his crew, Ash plunges into the unknown—across the planet’s cursed half, through time-warped ruins, and into the cosmic void where the gods vanished. Each revelation twists him further from human. Each power-up pulls him closer to oblivion. The more he ascends… the less of him remains.

“Look at you, you were this teeny-weeny when you were little.” Using both hands, Shao Zifeng gestures how small his pet beast used to be. He then raises his head and looks at the gigantic being in front of him. “Just how did you grow into this ferocious form?”

Just by an accident, the whole world underwent mutation. The deceased resurrected, genes morphed, spiritual energy revived, mountains rose, underground pits appeared, and evil land of the dead emerged. Ghosts emerged, some people developed three heads and six arms, some acquired martial arts secret scripts, but it’s hard for commoners to even survive. Fortunately, I acquired the Mutation Technique, which allows all sorts of objects to mutate: books, fruits, weapons.

In the year 2000, the System arrived on Gaia and changed the world of mankind. The environment became volatile and organisms evolved. To the humans, the System offered a class-base progression with a myriad of skills just like in old RPG games. From magic to bloodlines, as long as people immersed themselves in their passions, the System would incorporate their interests into classes and skills. And with the rise of new powerhouses, old nations were brought down and new ones rose from the ashes, stabilizing and governing their evolved populace. Around 500 years later since the dawn of the System, the story of our MC began. Drai was a musclehead, and his days were mostly spent for two purposes: becoming stronger and tougher! With his single-mindedness and crazy trainings he was finally offered a special class on the Revelation Day. From there on, his journey began. Starting from a prestigious academy and meeting his mentor and new friends, each with their own peculiarities, Drai steadily walked the path of power and invincibility. Party adventures, dark schemes, and veiled threats would accompany Drai throughout his journey.

Being bedriden and in terrible condition Mineta collapses in his dorm room and wakes up in a strange place deep within his mind where he encounters a monster and his true self within his mindscape and must now work to learn the truth of who or what he is and must win internal-psychological conflict with himself and his beast within and must choose which road he would choose to walk Editor Note: The writer(my good friend) and I do not in any way, shape or form own the cover image, this is also a work of fiction and has nothing to do with the original character/s nor the entirety of the original series created by manga author Kohei Horikoshi and is just a passion project made by one bored high-shooler and his friend. * - Signifies charater thoughts " - Signifies charaters speaking / - Signifies internal communication ^ - Signifies 4th wall breaks [] - Signifies Charaters speaking over long distances, over communication devices

It’s not everyday the universe needs saving, and it’s certainly not everyday someone like Ares is tasked to save it. Born with unique ‘destruction’ magic, Ares, a young man bursting with character (despite his propensity to annoy), has his work cut out for him as he, alongside five others with unique magic, must set out to prevent the end of all existence. Will he succeed? Or will his obsession with blowing things up simply speed up the process? Follow along in Ares’ adventures through bizarre worlds rife with magical mayhem, fierce fights, colourful characters, and plenty of perilous plots. This is an arc by arc fantasy romp that you probably won’t want to miss, regardless of whether you’re familiar with cultivation or not. All are welcome to witness Ares, ‘the wandering calamity’ himself, go on this long and exciting journey fraught with chaos… Even if he’s the one responsible for most of it.

The world ended—twice. Liam should have died along with it. Instead, he woke up with a system whispering of sovereign paths he was never meant to walk, an interface bound to something far older than the Dominion’s rule. Alone, hunted, and bound by a directive he barely understands, he fights to carve a place for himself in a world where fractured gods and cybernetic overlords rule what remains. In the Genesis Protocol’s void, where reality unravels, he faces echoes of celestial experiments, shadows of himself that seek to consume him. His body is bruised, ribs aching, strength fading—but he refuses to fall. “You do not belong,” the void whispers. Liam wipes the blood from his mouth, smirking. “I get that a lot.” And then, he raises his blade. Because if the world won’t make space for him—he’ll tear one open himself.

As a soon-to-be chieftain, Ashlani's responsibilities were numerous, complex, and often boring. As a recently reincarnated keelish (a reptilian pest), his responsibilities only extend to 1. survive another day, 2. keep his belly full, and 3. kill anything that keeps him from numbers 1 and 2. Oh, and, if the opportunity arises, take revenge on his friend turned brother turned murderer. Ashlani was sent on his inaugural hunt as the chieftain-to-be of his tribe when he was shot in the back by the man he was closest to, the one he called his closest friend. Post-mortem, he was greeted by a [System], the elect, singular keelish representative. Now, his focus must be on continuous growth and evolution, to awaken to his grand potential, and lead his new people to a new age. This is a reboot of my previous novel, Ashlani's Reincarnation, a grimdark take on a LitRPG reincarnation novel. This is a slower, more methodical approach to story, and I hope that its quality will reflect that. I update five times a week, usually weekdays, but if I miss a weekday, I make it up over the weekend.

Blake is a young man who has had to suffer through devastation over and over again losing more than just an arm. With no power of his own he could barely stand a chance against others or even be deemed useful by the military. All he can do is accept his sister's help bitterly knowing he can't return it to the same effect. After a series of events a meeting with near death shocks him to his very core changing his life forever. Awakening a hidden element buried deep within his genetic code. The Gene System, an advanced complex genetic technology used to expand and improve the overall potential and direction of evolution for the user's genetic code naturally mapping out and directing where the user should go with the growth they obtain. Not much else is known, only that few on every planet are given one through unknown means. The current state of the world is racked with unbridled chaos as the military fruitless attempts to stop the atrocities committed by the organisation known as the Gene hunters. Seeking to steal and splice any genetic data they can get their hands on by whatever psychotic means whether it be dissection, slow harvesting or cloning ethics are not a concern. Hundreds of thousands have been affected by the gene hunters including Blake's family. Some are never seen again, just used as cows for genetic harvesting over and over again until they dried up never to see their families again. Changes have begun to sprout in the background of earth leading to more and more mysterious events occurring, genetic powers becoming stronger, animals becoming mutated and evolving faster than normal generational lines. All the while in the background an unknown force beyond human comprehension lurks just beyond the veil waiting patiently for the time to run out and indulge in his planet level feast devouring all life in sight. Blake will give his all to overcome these brutal circumstances by whatever means. No matter the pain, suffering or loss he will continue to go forward no matter the cost. Failure isn't a devastation but a stepping stone in his larger goal. In his pursuit to build his strength he wont forget where he came from guarding the weak as someone who grew from that. Seeing the lack of care or acknowledgement to the majority viewed as weak in the military disdain makes him step up as the leader needed to change the structure of this world for the better. In the weak there is strength which Blake knows all too well. His reason to go forward is to become the man he wants to be. The only thing that truly terrifies is the idea of letting it all go, giving up and betraying himself and his potential.

Having reached unprecedented levels of nuclear technology, humanity utilized this power in their daily lives. With this advancement,280 years ago they embarked on a mission to colonize a planet named Bruno, located within the habitable zone of their star. However, two hundred years ago, a devastating nuclear catastrophe wiped out all life on Earth, rendering it uninhabitable, leaving Bruno as humanity's sole refuge. Thankfully, the colony on Bruno had already become self-sufficient. Yet, the delicate ecosystem of Bruno could not withstand the radioactive nuclear energy that powered human society, which triggered unforeseen consequences. The planet's native life evolved into dangerous mutants, pushing humanity into a precarious position once more. Resilient as ever, humans constructed massive, fortified cities as strongholds, determined to reclaim Bruno and make it their new and lasting home.

“When a man’s mind falls prey to madness, does he cease to be, or does he simply strip away the veils that once concealed his truest nature?” - ????????? ——————————————————— “What truly separates man from beast? Some might argue it’s their intelligence, their strength, or any number of measurable traits. Yet, when I look deeper, isn't man merely a beast in a different guise? A man can rend another apart just as any feral creature would, and the difference between them becomes indistinguishable. But then again, I may be wrong; after all, I’ve never seen a beast revel in the destruction of its prey the way a man does, finding joy in the very act of tearing life asunder...”

-----[WSA 2025 ENTRY]----- I was sixteen when the gods abandoned me. The Blessing Ritual was supposed to grant me power, a divine gift to carve my future. Instead, I received nothing. No abilities. No hope. Just another nameless soul left to rot in a world ruled by strength. Fine. If the gods wouldn’t bless me, I’d make my own power. For ten years, I clawed my way forward, experimenting with forces no human should touch. I pushed too far—and it killed me. Then I woke up. Sixteen again. Back at the Ritual. But this time, something changed. Time bends at my will. Blood moves when I command it. The gods still won’t acknowledge me, but it doesn’t matter. This world isn’t fair, and I’ve stopped playing by its rules. Faith and Chaos clash in my veins, and I will use them both. They wanted a Chosen Hero, someone to dance to their tune. Well, too bad for them—I’ll carve my own fate. ----- Find me on Discord at - I_Love_Ramen1 or join the server using the link - https://discord.com/invite/vvQRGGha9M

Asher had always dreamed of adventure. A simple farm boy with a bright smile and a sickle in hand, he set off to join the Adventurer’s Guild, believing his new life would be filled with excitement, camaraderie, and maybe a little glory. He had no grand ambitions—just a thirst for something more than crops and cattle. But the world had other plans. His first dungeon dive should have been easy—an entry-level quest to clear out some weak monsters. But when he meets a lost, whimpering goblin child, his kindness costs him everything. Tricked and betrayed, Asher is ripped apart, his screams swallowed by the darkness of the labyrinth. His adventure should have ended there. But it didn’t. Refusing to die—refusing to be forgotten—his soul clung to what little remained. His flesh was devoured. His blood seeped into the earth. Only his bones remained. And so, Asher rose again. A mind once filled with dreams now wrestles with the instincts of the undead. A body once strong and warm is now nothing but bone. He should be mindless, hollow—but something wrong lingers inside him, something still alive. Stronger. Faster. Hungrier. What started as an innocent adventure has turned into a brutal fight for survival. To evolve, he must kill. To grow stronger, he must devour. And as he climbs from the depths of the dungeon that consumed him, one question burns in his hollow chest: "If I was meant to die… then why am I still here?"

Discord: https://discord.gg/2pp2DermTh A remake of another novel I created. Kazuki Takumi Amagiri was always a kid with a troubling life, abusive parents, poverty, being bullied at school you know the usual sob story that probably goes in a documentary for the early life of a serial killer or something. Throughout his life he's always wondered if maybe the reason world hates him was because he had the audacity to exist. But through a series of events he met his best friend and was introduced to a series of games where he found his spark of resilience to carry on in life in a character named Markus one of the main antagonists of the book. And ten years later he's a university student, dormmates with his best friend and is just about to finish getting his degrees. He'd also just finished playing the third installment in a his favorite video game franchise All was going well in life, things were looking up until in one cruel twist it was over, no fanfare, no "going out with a bang", Kazuki's life just fizzled out like a candle in the wind. Curiously though, Kazuki's story was not over as he found himself in the body of "Markus" at the start of his story. How will this strangely ironic twist of fate change the world at large? And more importantly how will it change our main character?
