Rust Cohle Drunk

In the concrete jungles of Montego Bay, Jamaica, 14-year-old Kyle Wilson doesn’t have much—just an absent father, a worn-out pair of shoes, and a rusted rim hanging behind his rundown school. But what he does have is height, heart, and hunger. When he stumbles across basketball for the first time, a fire ignites inside him. It’s not just a game. It’s escape. Identity. A way out. Above the Rim, Below the Poverty Line is a coming-of-age sports drama that follows Kyle from the raw streets of Jamaica to the polished courts of America, and eventually to the world stage. But talent alone won't be enough. Poverty, violence, betrayal, and self-doubt lurk around every corner. This is a journey about more than basketball—it’s about survival, legacy, and the cost of chasing greatness.

"One wild night, one mystery man, and one very legally binding marriage certificate later..." Jasmine Heart did not sign up for this. Okay, maybe she did—technically. But in her defense, she was drunk! Now, she’s stuck being Mrs. Frost. Her new husband? Aiden Stark Frost. Billionaire. CEO. Certified menace in a three-piece suit. And he has a plan: one year of marriage or one heir—then he’ll let her go. But Jasmine has her own plan too: Make Aiden’s life a living hell until he begs for a divorce. - Rearranging his million-dollar mansion? Done. - Making his life hell by flirting with his business rivals? Check. - Playing the perfect doting wife… but only in public while pretending to be the worst wife imaginable? Absolutely. - Definitely not falling for his infuriatingly smug face? Working on it. But Aiden? He’s enjoying the challenge. And worse? There’s something in his dark, knowing gaze that sends shivers down her spine. Something dangerous. Something that whispers… she might not be entirely human either. Let the games begin!

The first meeting was at a small bar. A friend nudged his arm, smiling somewhat suggestively: A woman like Daisy Ginger should be kept in a vase, constantly admired, and toyed with at any moment. At that time, she seemed to be drunk and was persuaded by her friend to take to the dance floor and perform a dance. He propped up his face, watching the glamorous woman with casual indifference under the dazzling lights. Daisy Ginger. The name is spicy enough. The figure. Also spicy enough. * Banyan City’s young Master Wen, afflicted with a severe illness, was deemed by doctors at birth to not live past the age of thirty. He lived capriciously up to the age of twenty-five, never imagining he’d encounter such a dilemma in his lifetime—if he were to die, what would happen to the little demon at home who creates chaos and mischief without his protection, and ends up bringing harm upon herself when he’s no longer there to shield her?

Jianghu was in turmoil, an era of great strife. The leader of Great Qin wielded the Mo Blade, leaving the world battered and bruised. The ageless figures of Jianghu crouched upon the mountains, and with a single turn, they cast the entire world below them. Strong men measured the earth with their feet, and heroes of Jianghu could cleave the heavens with one sword, yet in the blink of an eye, they were drunk in the embrace of beauties. The Taoist carried his sword, the Scholar drunk on wine. Wearing tattered clothes, a beggar grasped a rotten branch and dared to storm the ancestral hall of the Taoist Sect. On the willow-lined causeway, in the long pavilion, a man who had sat withered for thirty years turned and stepped out, holding a peach blossom, with a flick of his wrist, he shattered ten miles of red candles. The era of Great Qin was renamed the Great Yuan Era. The youth with the Wooden Sword left his mountain village behind. (Solo female lead)

I've been sick ever since I can remember. My dad's a drunk prick, and he doesn't treat my mom very well. My girlfriend cheated on me with my best friend, because she figures I'm going to die soon anyways. They all do. Hell, they're probably right. I've been to countless doctors, and they can't figure out what is wrong with me aside from the fact that my body is slowly shutting down. I don't have any friends anymore. My dad doesn't allow me home anymore, because apparently I'm not even their real son. That was a real kick in the teeth. Only my mom tries to talk to me still, but there's always hell to pay if my dad catches her. At this point, I've accepted my end, and I wish it would just hurry up. At least, that's what I told myself, until I came across a new fuzzy little friend that would change my entire life. My name is Elias Crosse, and my tale is about get crazy.

In the year 2025, a curious linguist named Liam Routh discovers an ancient, untitled book hidden deep within the archives of a massive private library. Bound in leather and sealed with a forgotten symbol—a sun pierced by three arrows—the book claims to hold the true story of Kael of No-Name, a boy erased from his powerful family line over four thousand years ago. As Liam begins to read, the air shifts. The ink glows. And suddenly, he’s not just reading the story—he’s living it. Transported to a time of ruthless warlords, forgotten gods, and wild desert lands, Liam follows the audacious journey of Kael: a castaway prince turned rebel dreamer who escapes his tyrannical bloodline to forge a kingdom of laughter, love, and freedom in a land untouched by empire. With a band of misfits by his side—including a drunk who thinks he’s royalty, a seductive thief, and a spear-wielding queen—Kael dares to challenge fate, conquer chaos, and rewrite history. But kingdoms built on ideals are often the first to be tested by war.

On the scorched and rust-choked world of Rust-12, seventeen-year-old Kaiell spends his days deep beneath the surface in the mines of Targon-Delta, where the brutal regime of the Kargal Empire drills endlessly for Quorite—a volatile, reality-bending mineral that fuels warships, weapons, and the Empire’s stranglehold over the galaxy. Life on Rust-12 is measured in rations and scars, and hope is rarer than clean air. But fate has plans far beyond Kaiell’s imagining. Lost in a place between life and death, Kaiell encounters two forgotten entities: Erebus, god of Death, cold and watching, and Icor, god of Life, ever-burning and wild. Bound by prophecy, chained by regret, the gods whisper truths that could alter the future of humanity—or doom it completely.

After the world fell, only ruins remained. Liam Drex was born in the ashes—just another scavenger trying to survive in a wasteland haunted by shadows, silence, and stories of a forgotten god-machine. Then he found it. Buried beneath rust and time, the Eternity Engine—the last remnant of an ancient system—chose him. A train that travels not across land, but across realms, pulling its Passenger through trials designed to kill, evolve, or consume. Each station is a different reality. Each trial peels away his humanity. But the deeper Liam rides, the more the train remembers him. He’s not just a survivor. He might be the reason it all ended. Now bound to the system, hunted by monstrous shades, and haunted by a past even he can’t remember, Liam must climb—realm by realm—into the truth behind the apocalypse… and decide whether to reclaim the world or destroy what remains.

He heard the words loud and clear and closed his eyes without any care. "Ahh, I almost forgot why I came to you... that thing... it's still alive!" The tight shut eyes suddenly opened as Tufail shouted. "What?!" . . This story is about retired legendary hero, forgotten by the new generation, and how he'll pick up his sealed Halberd again to settle an unfinished business. Why did he retire? Will he succeed?

To have the ability to see into people's past has no real appeal for the teenager this story is about, letting him only use it as amusement and to show off when he was drunk. Never look into someone's past beyond a superficial level. Never try to find out more than you should. NEVER. EVER. LOOK. INTO. THE. FUTURE. But everything changed the moment he was forced to look into the future, was forced to investigate the circumstances of a murder, and was forced to make the acquaintance of the victim's twin brother('s fists). The more time passed, the more it appeared that the primary reason for this murder wasn't a local, but a global one. This single, marred corpse was the beginning of a threat that would shake the world. (MC loses a screw when he enters the prison.)

Kaiden was nothing special — a prideful man clinging to a dead-end job, bitter at the world that forgot him. Fired, humiliated, and drunk, he hurled himself at his former manager in a haze of rage… only to stumble onto the train tracks and wake up somewhere far worse. He awakens not in death, but in a fractured world of magic, war, and cruelty — his body twisted into a half-metal, half-human weapon under the rule of a demon army. Branded as a tool, forced to obey, Kaiden becomes part of a war he doesn’t understand, in a faction he can’t trust. But he won’t kneel forever. Denied magic. Discarded by humans. Feared by demons. Kaiden begins a slow climb through the command ranks, masking his fury with strategy, spite, and survival. Yet the higher he rises, the more the chains tighten — and the more he realizes he may never belong to any side. As war consumes the continent, Kaiden faces rebels, heroes from his own world, and a future carved in blood and rust. The only question is: Will he become a legend… or just another forgotten tool?

As terrifying mutations spread and shadows whisper from beneath the earth, Kael is pulled into a chilling mystery buried beneath the world’s grave. Something is still alive down there.

SYNOPSIS In a world where reality bends to the will of forces beyond human comprehension, a young man named Jhon awakens amid a colossus of concrete, steel, and chaos—a planet the size of a solar system, created as a board for the greatest survival game in cosmic history. Millions awaken around him, isolated, armed only with rusted vehicles, mysterious dice, and a sign etched in the sky: "SURVIVE." But Jhon is different. He feels no fear. He feels nothing. Trained since childhood by the CIA and the Mossad, molded to kill without hesitation, he believes himself to be just another weapon in the game... until the truth collides with his destiny: He is not just a player. He is not just a survivor. He is the son of the Supreme God—the invisible architect of this hell, the one responsible for giving life... and for extinguishing it. As the dice roll, monsters rise from the shadows, and alliances crumble like sand in the wind, John finds himself faced with an impossible choice: Create or destroy? Save humanity or forge a new universe from the ashes? Amidst blood, gears, and divine revelations, I Became God of Creation and Destruction is a brutal and philosophical saga about identity, power, and the price of being the ultimate archetype—God himself.

In the silence of Earth—abandoned, starved, forgotten—Leif Ayers wandered. One among millions left to scavenge the husk of humanity’s first home. Then came the orb. A breath of light in the dark. A whisper in the rust. He touched it—and the world tore open. Dragged into a realm beneath thought, he met the eyes of infinity. Countless, watching, knowing. And from the void stepped the Prophet, a being of shifting shadow and cruel wisdom, who named Leif the Saint—the one fated to walk the Seraphic Path. To awaken what slumbers within, Leif must bleed across the Lattice of Fate: a sacred labyrinth of living gateways and trials woven by an ancient mind. Through training, agony, and impossible choices, he will forge his soul into a weapon. He will become what he must. But the Lattice is no mere structure. It pulses. It thinks. It dreams in the voice of the Prophet. And it has already begun to shape him. (Release 1k word chapters every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday.)

She wasn't that drunk. So the six-foot-something creature rummaging through her fridge half-naked at eight in the morning was real. Now here's the teensy-weensy problem: She lives alone. ------------------------------------------------ Let's just say that Catherine Wright wasn't experiencing the best day. Everything just wasn't going well-right? So after a couple of sips of wine, she ended up 'praying' for some kind of distraction instead. Who knew the heavens answered prayers from drunk women? Now Damon Grace would be exactly what she asked for. And a few other things that would make her wish she never drank at all.

"I passed out drunk reading a novel that I rated a 6/10 and ended up waking up inside it." Azekiel wasn't supposed to be in this world. He's not a protagonist, a chaser, or in any way qualified to survive in a world full of monsters and godlike entities. He's just an underpaid office worker with a snark problem and an unhealthy attachment to fiction. But when he found himself stuck in 'Entranced in the Apocalypse', a slow-paced webnovel he read out of spite, he discovered the story wasn't quite how he remembered it; the protagonist, Caelum, isn't acting like himself at all. Something's... off. The story is changing. And Azekiel might be the only one who remembers how it's supposed to go. NOTE: Personal project, would probably not be your cup of tea if you need constant chapter updates or are used to reading novels online instead of those traditionally published.

Adam was meant to be among the chosen. Having just graduated from school, he, like others, awaited the start of a new life—a future brimming with possibilities. But instead, the heavens tore open. His classmates were ripped from reality. They were granted powers, a path, a destiny. While they awoke in a new world, he opened his eyes in silence. Amid wreckage, corpses, and rust. Without a gift. Without a map. Without explanation. On a planet where even the air kills, where the darkness whispers with a thousand dead voices. In a world that died long ago—and was never truly alive. A place where no one awaited him, and from which no one emerged unchanged. Now he walks. Through pain, fear, and emptiness. He seeks not power. He seeks truth. Even if it means traversing Hell to find it. Yet this world is but a mask. Reality—a thin, trembling veil over a gaping abyss even gods dared not face. Beneath it lies a whispering darkness, a distorted truth, and a cycle that devours itself… until someone dares descend and shatter the spiral from within.

Sometimes, all it takes is one spilled latte, a mischievous dog, and a hoodie-wearing stranger to rewrite your entire love story. Haruka Sato is a hopelessly clumsy romance author with an overactive imagination, a dangerously close deadline, and a Samoyed named Momo who causes more trouble than he solves. Between dodging her editor's calls and fangirling over a faceless streamer known as RyoTakkun, Haruka’s love life is virtually non-existent—unless you count the fictional ones she writes. As chance meetings turn into tangled fates, and secrets stir beneath shared coffees and late-night conversations, Haruka finds herself caught between the boy who makes her cringe and the streamer she swears she doesn’t have a crush on (lies). But with Cupid clearly drunk on caffeine, will Haruka’s heart survive the chaos—or will her own love story crash harder than her Wi-Fi?

What he thought would go smoothly shattered in an instant, when he was forced to face a bitter truth: the woman, seven years older than him, never took their relationship seriously. Devano ended the relationship firmly, but there was no denying the overwhelming pain that followed. He chose to walk away from the place, his heart heavy with sorrow. That night, Devano rode his motorcycle recklessly while drunk. Unbeknownst to him, a police patrol car was chasing him from behind. Losing control of the bike, Devano crashed—and everything went dark as he passed out.

His last relationship ended abruptly when his girlfriend was caught cheating on him, a painful discovery made while he was preoccupied with yet another of life's "ordeals." The betrayal cut deep, pushing him towards the numbing comfort of alcohol. Now, he's usually too drunk to care about girls or the whispers and judgments of the other cowboys.
