Elektel Delusion

In a world where purity of blood defines worth, and the highborn cultivate power under Heaven's decree, those born of "tainted blood" are condemned to servitude, silence, or slaughter. But from the filth and ash of this cruel order, a boy rises — not with prayers, nor with vengeance… but with perfect, calculated coldness. Mo Tianyin, born without privilege, without hope, carries no delusions of justice. What he seeks is not rebellion… but replacement. His mind is sharper than steel, his heart colder than the grave, and every step he takes is a move against a thousand-year tyranny. He will lie, sacrifice, and slaughter — not for glory, not for love — but to build a world where the sky itself can bleed. He is the shadow beneath Heaven. And shadows do not kneel.

From the peak of the Emperor’s Mountain… his head fell before his body. He woke in a stranger’s bed—dead, yet breathing. No name. No past. Only the pain of his fall. Glory? Meaningless. Immortality? A fool’s delusion. All he wants… is revenge. But in an age ruled by deathless Supreme Beings— where emperors are crowned through carnage and unmaking— what price will vengeance demand? This is the rise of madness, wrath, and shattered destiny. He is the man with Insight Zero. He is… The Two-Faced Emperor.

Crimson-haired, ancient, and terrifyingly beautiful, the renowned Vampire Empress had been sealed away for hundreds of years. The one to set her was Veri, a high school boy filled with delusions. Caught in the aftermath of her awakening, Veri is dragged into a hidden world of bloodlines, magic, and secret organizations where ancient powers stir and his once-ordinary life begins to unravel. In the wake of it all, the countdown for the end of the world begins.

In the dystopic world of 2072 ravaged by a ruthless war, Mike is a cyberknight fighting for a regime which promises justice and reforms to a broken world.

When the masks drop, will there still be peace or a future? Blessed are those who can dream, condemned are those who remain in reality. In the dark, resolve is the only path forward.

Audrey Jones has spent her life trapped behind pristine walls, part of a family that shines in public and shatters in private. To their church and school community, the Joneses are the perfect family—devoted parents, active leaders, and doting caretakers. But behind the doors of their immaculate home, Audrey is subjected to cruel punishments, relentless gaslighting, and isolation designed to break her. When the Joneses adopt Mia, the daughter of their deceased friends, Audrey hopes for a sister. Instead, she gains her worst tormentor. Charming and cunning, Mia quickly earns their parents' favor and manipulates her way into the role of the perfect child. With each passing day, Mia spins a web of lies that paints Audrey as unstable, pushing her deeper into loneliness and convincing everyone around her—including her teachers—that Audrey is dangerous. But Mia’s greatest weapon is not the belt or the starvation. It’s the story she weaves so masterfully that no one questions it. When Audrey collapses at school, worn down by sleepless nights and Mia’s slow chemical sabotage, she finds an unexpected ally in Mrs. Hayes, an English teacher who sees through the golden facade. As the Joneses tighten their grip and Mia’s manipulation escalates to terrifying heights, Audrey must decide whether to keep surviving inside the golden cage—or find the strength to shatter it. In a world where truth is dismissed as delusion and love is wielded as a weapon, Audrey's fight is not just for freedom, but for the right to own her story.

Lena Hart was never meant for the spotlight—but the spotlight found her anyway. With fairy-tale beauty and quiet resilience, Lena rises from modest beginnings to brief fame as a member of the idol group Velvet Bloom. When fame fades and her family's financial ruin looms, she clings to a single lifeline: a loyal friendship and an impossible crush on Ethan Cross, a wealthy and enigmatic heir who seems far out of reach. What begins as a dream spirals into delusion, heartbreak, and self-erasure. After overhearing a painful truth—that Ethan never took her seriously—Lena vanishes from the glamorous world and rebuilds her life from the ground up in a rural town, far from the cameras and cruel whispers. But fate-Ethan comes back into her life when she least expects it. A forced reunion. A dangerous stalker. A kiss that unravels everything they tried to forget. In the fragile quiet that follows trauma, Lena and Ethan must confront their pasts, their pride, and the growing feelings they can no longer deny.

In the forgotten village of Hallowbridge, time has a way of standing still-and so do secrets. When brilliant but haunted detective Arthur Stoker returns to the place he once called home, he's drawn back not by peace, but by a letter. A warning. A whisper from the past: "Come home. You missed something." Years ago, the love of his life, Helen, vanished on the bridge that gave the village its name. No body. No sound. Just her scarf-tied too neatly to ignore. Now, with a string of new murders haunting the village and a mysterious spiral symbol appearing at every scene, Arthur begins to dig. But the deeper he searches, the more he unearths: buried conspiracies, long-forgotten crimes, and a tale that stretches back to a woman accused of witchcraft and erased from the town's memory. As the line between truth and delusion begins to blur, Arthur must confront not just the darkness around him-but the one growing inside. Some memories fade. Some names are forgotten. But not all of them stay buried.

“Obey the system. Fulfill your purpose. Or face the consequences.” Kael was born a loyal believer in the System — a society built on structure, promise, and control. He worked hard, followed every rule, and was destined for a life of success… until a vision of his dying mother shattered everything he thought was true. When Kael chooses rebellion over comfort, red over blue, he falls from grace — losing everything the System once promised him. But in a world where failure is punished, and dreams are labeled as delusions, Kael’s fight becomes more than survival. It becomes a question of what’s real, who decides your worth, and how far you're willing to go to reclaim your truth. Now marked as a failure, Kael must rise as a warrior — or be erased. For readers who love dystopian rebellion, emotional trauma, and stories where the mind fights harder than the fists. Will Kael prove the System wrong — or will the System prove he never mattered? “Light Over Darkness” In a world ruled by obedience, Kael was the perfect follower—until his mother’s memory shattered the silence. Now hunted by the very System he once trusted, he must choose: submit to control or rise for something greater. But every choice has a cost—and some awaken a war within.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the world drowned in war. How laughable. How detestable. How... utterly pathetic. They keep preaching justice, truth, hatred, vengeance but in the end its all the same. Too blind to grasp their own insignificance. Too arrogant to accept the simple truth. And yet, when salvation finally came, it was not by the hands of heroes, nor saints, nor those self-proclaimed "chosen ones." No, the world was saved by the very thing they feared most—a beast. Now, these wretched fools seek to cleanse their sins under a different banner. "An academy where all are equal." They believe such a farce will make the world forget their arrogance, their crimes. They think peace, when wrapped in a new name, will erase the blood they have spilled. But we have seen the light. We have been enlightened. While they wallow in their delusions, we gaze upon the truth. And in the truth, we shall be saved.

Among them is Kael, wielding his father’s twin blades and a Contract that makes him unkillable—until he completes the Abyss’s cruel tasks.

Now, hunted by the corrupt UWN government, tormented by the Covenant’s lies, and stalked by the Hollow—a living weapon forged from humanity’s desperation—Kael must decide: - Is his father’s dream of peace a delusion? - Why does the Abyss whisper his name like an old friend? - How far will he go to carve a safe haven from the dark? Perfect for fans of: - The Broken Empire’s grim brutality - Attack on Titan’s desperate last stands - The Locked Tomb’s cosmic horror undertones

This is a science-fantasy novel. THIS NOVEL HASN'T STARTED YET. A new phenomenon emerged in the 21st century, where people around the world are subjected to random mass delusions and illusions. Upon this information being disclosed to the masses in 2014, a streamer jokingly called the phenomenon the “Adolescence Syndrome” as a reference to a certain light novel released at the time. This was quickly adopted to be the proper scientific term for the phenomena, as it seemed to only affect people whose brains were still developing. While most cases seem harmless—save for psychological trauma—many led to sudden deaths, leaving families ruined in its wake. Now in modern times, a decade after the phenomenon was first documented, society has adapted to the global phenomenon, treating these illusions and deaths as normal circumstances. Scientists and researchers still haven’t figured out the cause for the Adolescence Syndrome, while governments attempt to utilize it. At this time, a certain college freshman attempts to lead a normal life. Or not.

Echo sees death. Or maybe, death sees him. Trapped between delusion and reality, Echo searches for meaning in a world where time bleeds, crows whisper secrets, and his only anchor—Riven—might never have existed. As his mind fractures, one truth remains: Not everything that's real is true. And not everything that's true is real. Born into a strange family cursed—or blessed—with otherworldly gifts, Echo carries the cruelest one of all: the ability to see the life expectancy of every person around him, printed in bold, unchanging numbers above their heads. For him, life is a countdown. Death is a routine. Hope is a distant, dying star. But everything changes when he meets someone… different. A boy with no numbers. No countdown. Nothing at all. Riven doesn’t just defy Echo’s ability—he erases it. And that should be impossible. As ghostly phantoms draw closer and time itself begins to unravel, Echo must face the truth: Some people aren’t meant to be seen. Some are meant to be felt.

An ordinary man dieing inside from a life spent working a dead end job goes to bed one Saturday morning after a binge session of a new season of an anime, and some gaming. While sleeping he dreams he gets messages granting him three wishes before being transmigrated into an anime version of Earth. This is his story as he lives out a new life in an anime world. ...………………………… But is it even real? Or is it all just some fever dream, maybe comatose delusions? But more importantly: Does it matter? Is everything he experiences any less real if he's only dreaming or in a coma? .................................... So I plan for this book to be fairly light-hearted but also tackle some deep questions at some point. There will be some cringe moments- including chuni AF moments. This could also be considered a fan fiction with elements from several animes and games being introduced either as part of the system the MC has or as things from the system. I might have some characters from different anime games movies or books popping up. Uploads may be slow, as I write the chapters on paper before typing them to post and because I write for fun, my daily life will effect the schedule.

Under a cloud-covered sky, in a world shrouded in darkness and mystery, civilizations crumble, and forgotten secrets are hunted by those who seek truth… or power. In this world, where mana is no longer a blessing but a curse, and where sorcerers who once ruled the earth are now mere shadows of their former selves, Hunters have emerged—those who abandoned magic, replacing it with steel and bullets to confront what lurks in the dark. Amid the gloomy streets of cities and narrow alleys whose walls whisper ancient secrets, an unexpected journey begins. A stranger finds himself in a body he does not recognize, in a world he was never part of. With no clear information or answers, he must carve his path through enemies, monsters, and entities that watch from beyond the stars. In this new world, nothing is as it seems, and the line between reality and delusion… is as thin as the edge of a sword.

After 600 years, Xaiver’s life was nearing its end. But when rumors of a recently discovered treasury with relics that could control time spread, thousands of cultivators rushed to claim it. Some wanted it for power, some like Xaiver wanted to live longer, and some were fueled with delusions of immortality and godhood. Many died from traps before laying their eyes on the prize, and those that did see it began massacring each other. Just as the last cultivator picked up the relic, Xaiver launched a fatal attack against him, but a defensive treasure allowed him to survive the attack. The last memories Xaiver had was the fool trying to use the relic as a weapon and being devoured by it, and a flash of light as the relic shattered. Now he finds himself almost 600 years in the past.

Humanity ended the world. The System just watched. Yin Zhou was broken long before the apocalypse. A ghost in his own skin—unloved, unnoticed, forgotten. When the sky tore and the dead began to walk, it wasn’t salvation that reached for him. It was the voice. [System Integration Complete] Welcome, Candidate. Contract Bound: Demon-Type – Blood Warlock Primary Link: Entity [Lilith] – Designation: Temptress-Class, Tier-6 Warlord (Infernal Plane) Power doesn’t come free. And this System doesn’t offer choices—only commands. Yin Zhou awakens to a world where pain grants experience, souls are currency, and madness is evolution. Guided by Lilith, his demonic interface and bound succubus, the Demon System feeds him quests soaked in blood, missions steeped in cruelty, and upgrades that demand sacrifice. But the deeper he obeys, the less human he becomes. Kill. Consume. Ascend. The rules are simple. The cost is everything. Now a Blood Warlock, Yin Zhou becomes a vessel for carnage. The more he levels up, the louder the whispers grow—System alerts merging with delusions. Lilith claims to serve, but her smile hides centuries of damnation. And the System? It watches. It waits. It wants him broken. This isn’t a story of survival. It’s a descent. A transformation. A warlock forged in hellfire, led by a System that thrives on the ruin of souls. Humanity can burn. Yin Zhou is leveling up.

This is the tale of the hopeless otaku Michael on his journey to escape delusion land

Entangled with three men–Arian Csepel, Leonardo Leonardo and Kevin Gael. Lynette Daelan, an unemployed accounting graduate with both a degree and a master's, has always struggled. Abandoned by her father, who built a new life with his mistress and their privileged daughter, Lynette grew up scraping by in worn-out clothes, while they thrived. After years without contact, she finally sees her father-only to be ignored. Then, tragedy strikes: her mother passes away, and when her father finally shows up, all he offers is a mere $100. It's nowhere near enough to cover her debts, and soon, she's evicted. Forced to seek shelter in her late grandmother's house, she remembers the peculiar basement door-the one rumored to lead to another dimension. Her mother dismissed it as delusions of an old woman, but Lynette is desperate. That night, she decides to open it. And what she finds changes everything. Suddenly, she is no longer the abandoned daughter or the struggling woman grasping for survival. In this new reality, she is an heiress—pampered, adored, and swept into a world of wealth and intrigue. But beneath the glamour, secrets lurk, relationships complicate, and the price of living in this dimension might be higher than she ever imagined.

What if the villain wasn’t just right—but necessary? In a world where kingdoms bow to divine law and empires hide behind celestial mandates, one man dares to rewrite the script of fate itself. Kael was never the chosen one. He was the shadow behind the throne, the strategist behind the victories, the voice behind every betrayal. A man with no allegiance to gods, heroes, or prophecies—only to his own vision of a world unchained. Through manipulation, dominance, and psychological warfare, Kael dismantles empires, corrupts saviors, and seduces even the untouchable. From courtrooms soaked in blood to divine halls torn by philosophical war, Kael’s rise is not paved by destiny—but by design. As factions fall—heroes turn, empresses kneel, and even Archons, the divine arbiters of reality, begin to break under his logic—one question begins to echo across realms: Is Kael the villain who destroyed the world, or the mind that saved it from its own delusions? Lord of Deception is not just a dark fantasy—it’s a political masterwork woven with cosmic ambition, complex character evolution, and a protagonist who is as terrifying as he is brilliant. With a growing cult following and a narrative arc spanning mortal politics to divine collapse, this is the kind of saga that leaves readers questioning every notion of right and wrong.

Death? What exactly is it? I never knew, and honestly, I never cared. But now? Now, it's all I crave. I don't just want to understand death—I want to experience it, truly, more than anyone ever could. Not the hollow imitation where consciousness lingers... but a real, final death. For I am trapped in a hellish cycle of dying and coming back. Over and over. How many times has it been? Hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands? Or has it reached millions by now? I can't remember anymore. All I know is that I die, and then I live again... again and again.

Haunted by memories of her past and consumed by feelings of isolation, she struggles to adapt to her unfamiliar surroundings. School offers little relief—until she meets Gabriel, a mysterious boy who appears just when she needs a friend the most. Gabriel is everything Margo needs: kind, attentive, and always ready to whisk her away from her troubles. Each night, he invites her to secret places—an abandoned playground, a fog-choked garden, a crumbling train station at the edge of town—each more unsettling than the last. Yet with every chilling rendezvous, Margo feels more alive... more seen. But something isn’t right. Gabriel never comes to school during the day. Her adoptive parents never see him. And when they catch her talking to thin air, their concern deepens into fear. They say Gabriel isn't real—that he’s a figment of her imagination. Margo wants to believe them, but Gabriel feels real. More real than anything else in her life. As the nights grow colder and more twisted, Gabriel’s true nature begins to surface. Shadows move where they shouldn’t. Time warps in his presence. And the places they visit seem to echo with whispers from another world. Margo is forced to ask herself: Who—or what—is Gabriel? Why does he only want her? And what will happen on the final night he asks her to come with him? As the line between reality and delusion begins to crumble, Margo must make an impossible choice: stay in a world where she feels loved, or return to one that barely feels real. But one thing is certain—some friendships never let go.
