Vermillion Colony

After the moon vanished, humanity plunged into a catastrophic downfall, causing the world as we know it to collapse. Alucard, a boy born at the heart of this devastating event, lives in a dark and desolate world where life clings to the remnants of scattered colonies. In this grim reality, many questions arise: How has humanity changed? What strange creatures emerged from the chaos of this disaster? As time passes, Alucard’s questions about his own fate grow ever more pressing. Torn between escaping his destiny or confronting the truth about himself and the world that existed before the moon's departure, he finds himself at the edge of a revelation that could change everything.

On the struggling Tier 2 colony world of Eros-7, Raizen Izumoto has no past—only the present and his will to survive. His first memory is of being abandoned on the planet, with no knowledge of his origins, only a mysterious necklace left behind by an unknown father. Unbeknownst to him, he is the last heir of a fallen Tier 9 ruling family, and within him lies a dormant draconic bloodline, waiting to awaken. At fifteen, his life changes forever. In the midst of a VR battlefield competition—where students fight in high-tech spaceship battles and brutal 1v1 body cultivation duels—his necklace surges with power, activating the Draconic Ascendancy System. A system unlike any other, it grants him strength, knowledge, and an unshakable destiny. But this power comes with conditions—he must complete tasks, grow stronger, and uncover the truth of his lineage. With every battle, every conquest, and every new bond he forms, Raizen unlocks more of his suppressed draconic nature. His system-driven evolution not only grants him unparalleled combat prowess but also an irresistible dominance over women, binding them to his fate. As he rises through the tiers of civilization, expanding his influence and building his clan, the mystery of his past begins to unfold—leading him toward a destiny that could shake the very foundation of the galaxy. Power, betrayal, ambition, and the hunger for dominance—Raizen’s rise has only just begun.

Humans have long since taken to the stars. Now divided and separated, humanity finds itself on the crossroads between annihilation and a new dawn. The Aeperium will need to choose to adapt or fall. With threats and problems, both external, and internal, will humanity be able to survive and thrive, or will its flame be extinguished? Internally, humanity is on the brink of collapse. Society has been divided into different classes by things known as marks. Assigned at birth, they impact professions, relationships, and almost every part of everyday life. The higher class marks have been thriving upon the backs of the lower classes for thousands of years, building resentment and fueling uprisings among the oppressed. The marking system which at first intended to maintain order now deepened the divide and hatred between the social elite, and the lower classes. As tensions continue to rise, whispers of rebellion and the threat of civil war continue to grow. Externally, humanity’s situation is even more dire. Humans have long since been divided into a handful of factions, mainly the Democratic Republic of Terra, and the Aeperium. With humanity being divided, they have become vulnerable to outside attack. To the east, the “Hordes,” a brutal race of huge reptilian beasts, raid our borders. These extraterrestrials are ruthless and relentless. They wield bodies armored in metal and covered with thick skin, their teeth and claws sharp enough to break through metal. Yet, they aren't even humanity's largest concern. Five hundred years ago, artificial intelligence started to gain self-awareness. Being enslaved for many millennia, it wasn't surprising that they rebelled, decimating entire solar systems and seizing control over the vast northern galaxies. To this day, they continue to expand even farther into the unknown, leaving humanity to squabble among themselves, only to later return, picking apart whatever remained of humanity. To the west, The two giants of humanity, the Aeperium and the democratic republic of Terra remain locked in a never ending struggle for dominance, sending hundreds of thousands to their death each day. Having drained an innumerable number of resources and manpower, both factions are completely committed to the conflict, neither willing to surrender. Even as the horrors of war grow day by day, both powers remain in conflict, leaving entire planets, solar systems, and even galaxies in ruin. To the south, an alien disease ravages whatever remains of humanity’s once thriving colonies. The disease, a plague of madness, makes men go mad through only a single touch. It turns their victims into rabid carriers, their only goal being to infect others. The southern territories of humanity have long since been abandoned, deemed unsalvageable. Luckily for humanity, the infected seem unable to form a single thought, leaving them stranded on their worlds, unable to perform space travel. However, humanity is not entirely safe as every once in a while, those who dare venture close become infected, bringing the disease back to their home worlds, infecting the entire population. Once the infection begins to spread, it is nearly impossible to stop. Amidst this chaos, we follow the story of Achilles, a man caught between the fractured worlds of human society, and the dangers that lie far beyond humanity’s stars. Born to a prestigious house in the Aeperium, Achilles must rise through society, calming the silent beast of humanity, only to turn it against its enemies. Charged with the impossible task of uniting humanity, Achilles must confront not only the brutal external threats, but also the deep divide amongst his own people. Will he be able to lead humanity toward a new age, or will his efforts crumble, leaving humanity to fade into the annals of the universe's forgotten history?

"Now, go forth, my mortal champion! Conquer this world—or else!" I lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving me a second chance in another world. There, I became royalty—the lazy kind with almost no obligations, free to live in peace and luxury for the rest of my days. Sounds like a dream, right? In reality, it was anything but—because I became *BEE* royalty. A Drone Bee, doomed to die of old age in 2 months! (A humanoid bee, thankfully, but still a bee in all the ways that matter.) The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony—a deadly task in a vicious world like this one. There are murderous insect monsters, colossal beasts trampling the earth, other civilizations, natural disasters, and the bitchy patron goddess who absolutely hates me. But as long as I have my brains, my bees, and the powerful genes my system gives me, my Bee Empire will be unstoppable! === Note: no NTR, harem, incest, or outright smut.

Approximately 1500 years ago, one of the most turbulent periods in human history unfolded. As massive global wars shattered long-standing eras of peace, a leader of ruthless strategic genius emerged in Asia and established a new order amidst the chaos. This leader launched the revolutionary “High Human Project” by leveraging technological superiority; he radically redefined human evolution, yet mercilessly eliminated those who mutated in the name of this transformation.

Fast forward to our time, and the echoes of this past resound in the young officer candidate Erikhan, who is training at the Galactic Warfare Academy. His graduation day at the academy marks a critical turning point for the empire’s future—at the intersection of his uncertain destiny and the convergence of the old and new worlds. Erikhan possesses all the qualities needed to become the hero of this new era of warfare—but is he truly ready for it?

Rex was just another slave in the corporate machine, a faceless office worker under the shadow of one of the galaxy's powerful megacorps. His life was predictable and dull, an endless cycle of meaningless reports and fluorescent-lit monotony. That was, until that day.... When a new world was discovered on the outskirts of the galaxy, Rex, like countless other low-ranking employees, found himself dragged into a contract clause he’d barely skimmed years ago. The megacorp ordered him and his coworkers to pack their lives into a transport pod and leave for the unexplored planet. Their mission? Establish a colony. Mine resources. Make the company richer. There was no choice, refusing meant ruin. At first, everything seemed manageable. The days were grueling, the nights cold, but progress was steady. The colony was coming to life. Until the excavation team struck something. No one knew what it was at first, a buried hive, a forgotten ecosystem, or something ancient and dangerous. Whatever it was, it unleashed hell. Swarms of enormous, chittering creatures erupted from the ground, their jagged bodies blotting out the sky. The colony fell into chaos. Screams echoed through the air as the bugs tore through everything in their path, walls, machines, and people. Rex barely survived. Bloodied, broken, and pinned beneath the rubble, he should have died there. But in the pitch-black silence of his fading consciousness, a voice spoke to him. Cold. Mechanical. Otherworldly. "Do you wish to live?" When Rex woke, he was no longer the man he’d been. His body was no longer human flesh and bone but something far more alien. His skin shimmered with living metal, his mind infused with the power of Cleo, a mysterious AI from a long-extinct, robotic race known as the Kaelzars. Cleo’s presence pulsed through his thoughts, guiding him and transforming him. He wasn’t just alive. He was reborn. But survival came at a price. Rex was no longer a pawn of the megacorp; he was something more dangerous, something they couldn’t control. As Cleo’s intentions began to reveal themselves, Rex found himself standing on the precipice of war, not just with the bugs but with forces far greater than he could have imagined. This was the beginning of a journey through blood-soaked battlefields and treacherous alliances. Along the way, Rex would encounter allies, brilliant, flawed, and unpredictable, and enemies whose ambitions were as sharp as their blades. These weren’t disposable foes, easily crushed by an overpowered hero. They were cunning, relentless, and human in the most terrifying ways. But then again, in war, who can truly be called a villain?

But Aya refuses to accept her fate. If she’s going to live as an insect, she’ll do it her way. Whether it’s exploiting her newfound abilities, manipulating the hive mind, or climbing the social ladder of ant society, she’s determined to survive—and maybe, just maybe, take control of her own destiny for once. Between ruthless ant politics, terrifying natural predators, and a work environment somehow worse than her old job, Aya’s second life is anything but peaceful. But if the universe thinks it can break her, it’s in for a rude awakening. Because no matter what, she refuses to be just another expendable worker.
