Shadowed Ascendance: The Forbidden System

Shadowed Ascendance: The Forbidden System (SA:TFS) follows the journey of Reziel Blackwood, a lowborn orphan whose life takes a drastic turn when he accidentally becomes bound to a mysterious and malevolent system known only as “The Forbidden System.” Initially weak and overlooked by a world that values noble titles and magical bloodlines, Reziel soon discovers that the system’s power grows by feeding on darker energies—ambition, desire, and even conflict. Though each forbidden ability grants him new strengths, it also tests his moral limits, blurring the line between hero and villain. Surviving in an empire teeming with magical academies, dangerous beasts, and hidden conspiracies, Reziel is thrust into a life of constant trials. He crosses paths with women of various backgrounds and agendas—a fierce knight seeking redemption, a cunning sorceress in pursuit of forbidden knowledge, a sheltered noble lady entranced by his dangerous aura, and more—forming unexpected alliances and romantic entanglements. Torn between forging genuine bonds and using others as stepping stones to greater power, Reziel’s journey is marked by both epic battles and quieter, slice-of-life moments where he struggles to find normalcy in a world he’s slowly reshaping. As his influence grows, whispers of an antihero on the rise spread across kingdoms, challenging the existing power structures. With the threat of ancient evils looming and rival factions vying to control or destroy him, Reziel must confront the question: Will he succumb to darkness to protect those he cares about, or find a more complicated path that balances ambition and compassion? Shadowed Ascendance: The Forbidden System combines action, adventure, romance, magic, and the grit of an antihero’s path—perfect for readers who love a “weak to strong” progression laced with moral complexity and harem intrigue.

The Protagonist’s Sister Is Actually The Strongest

Have you ever read a novel with such a terrible ending that you wished you could change the story and give the characters you loved the happy ending they deserved? ~~~ I was just another failure of an author, writing stories nobody read, and that never sold. Seeking to improve my writing, I read the most popular novel at that time, Solo Player, to learn what made it so popular. However, as I read this story, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated about the story’s development, which had a terrible ending. Eventually, and quite bitterly, once I ended reading the book, I found myself transmigrated into the very world of this novel. Did I become the Protagonist? A Villain? Or perhaps even an Extra? No, it was much worse than I imagined. Because I ended up becoming the most worthless character that nobody ever cared about in the novel. A character that is often considered the motivation for the protagonist to grow stronger, but also his greatest burden. Someone every reader hated! “I’m the protagonist’s sister…” However, with my knowledge of this novel's events, my worthlessness was about to change. I’ve decided to not only become the strongest but also change the story’s terrible ending! “I won’t let you go inside a Dungeon, it’s too dangerous.” ...As long as I can get this incredibly corny and overprotective brother out of my way! And for some reason, the Constellations won’t stop bothering me. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Butterfly That Flies Across The Universe} seems interested in your tenacity!] [She has sponsored 1000000 Plot Points and the [Demon of Calamity Transformation Technique (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Monkey that Dances in Chaos} finds your chaotic nature amusing!] [He has thrown the [Umbral Chaos Stone Necklace (S Rank)] at you!] [Not enough? He launched the [Immortal Heaven Peach (SSS Rank)] right on your face!] There was something really wrong with the Constellations this time around. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Jester Filled With Lies} is happy that you’re bringing despair to your victims!] [He has gifted you the [Jester’s Last Laugh (S Rank Privilege)] and the [Master of Manipulation (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Maiden that Watches Over Nature} seems happy you’re growing stronger.] [She has gracefully sponsored you with 2000000 Plot Points and Fully Heals All Your Wounds!] [She has also begun to wonder if you could plant some trees for her, gifting you the [Divine World Tree Seedling (SSS Rank)]!] [The Cosmic Throne {Warrior That Seeks Calamity} is satisfied with your battle performance but asks for more battle!] [He has sponsored you with 500000 Plot Points and [Beheading Sword of Destruction (SSS Rank)]!] They simply couldn’t stop gifting me things as if I were some sort of famous streamer for them. “I am grateful, but please just leave me alone already…” Chapters are long, 1500 ~ 2000+ words.

抱歉,又封神了

The following is an outline of my story 1. **Character Setup** The protagonist is surrounded by secrets and a troubled past, with the death of family members and a complete loss of memory. This sets the stage for later unveiling a shocking conspiracy. 2. (Key Point)The protagonist has no emotions. Joy, sorrow, fear, and other feelings are all extremely muted. He doesn't experience fear in the face of terror, nor can he feel positive emotions. He occasionally reflects, "Why do I have no emotions? Am I not human? Then what is the purpose of my existence?" 3. Major Supporting Characters (1) **Upright and Righteous**: A character who always takes the time to offer moral insights at the end of each challenge or level. (2) **Comedic Sidekick**: A character who clings to the protagonist, constantly cracking jokes, even in the face of danger, and will attempt humor even when confronted by ghosts or terrifying situations. (3) **Morally Ambiguous**: A character willing to do anything to achieve their goals, smiling mischievously. They are both an ally and a potential antagonist, sometimes helping the protagonist, other times seemingly wishing to kill them. They might love the protagonist, or they might hate them—this character represents both good and evil in a complex relationship. 4. **The Other Male Lead (B-Route)** Another key male character, full of secrets, immensely powerful, and connected to the protagonist in ways that become clearer later in the story. His secrets are tied to the ultimate mystery. While the narrative primarily reveals the protagonist's secrets in the early parts of the story, it is only later that the secrets of this second male lead become the most crucial element. --- **Story Structure** The protagonist stumbles into a terrifying and dangerous world, where he must fight monsters, level up, and face numerous challenges. As the story progresses, he will gradually uncover truths that lead him toward the light. Through this journey, the narrative explores the brilliance and beauty of humanity, delving into the complexities of human nature and the trials of the human heart. The ultimate theme is that we must believe in love, as love is the most powerful force, capable of overcoming anything.

Exo Seeker: The Strongest Human Woke Up In The Future!

Kael Draven, the strongest human who fought against the Anthi-Org—a universal threat set on conquering the universe—was betrayed by one of his own when victory was almost within reach. He and his allies were known as the Exo Primevals, the first to wield an Exoskeleton suit known as Aegis Prime—a powerful piece of equipment created by the most advanced species to finally destroy the Anthi-Org and end the war. But with his teammate betrayal, Kael was sealed away in impenetrable ice, his people’s planets fell under enemy control, and the Anthi-Org rose to dominance.

He vows to find the one who betrayed him and finish what he started. The war may be lost, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be reignited. --- Additional Tags: Cold blooded protagonist, Smut, S*x Scenes, Antihero, *sshole Protagonist and more, mainly for flexibility. What to expect: This novel is LitRPG. If you are a fan of Power Rangers/Kamen Rider, Warframe, and other Suit related novel/movies/shows then this is for you. Try to read for at least 20 chapters and see if this novel fits your taste. It's slow at first as the world and structure of the story is forming along the way.
