Midnight Ruins

Buried under myths, magic, and lies… was a civilization that made gods look primitive. When I woke up in this broken world, I was no hero. Just another scavenger searching the sands for scraps. Until I touched the relic. Until the memories bled through. Now I remember algorithms masked as spells, reactors mistaken for gods, and a war so advanced it reset the world. They think I’m lowborn. They think I’m powerless. But every time I breathe, the past awakens—and with it, the truth that could break this world again. History is a lie. Magic is technology. And I… am the last Reclaimer. — A viral fusion of reincarnation, ancient tech, and twisted memory recovery. Perfect for fans of "Shadow Slave," "Release That Witch," and "The Beginning After The End." PS:- i don't own any of the book names written above except mine.

Growing up in the outskirts, Lovell swore to crawl his way out of poverty using any means necessary . He lived his semi-ordinary life relying on his wits to survive in the ashes of the world that once was. With the constant threat of monsters and the fallout from war looming over humanity, the world turned harsher than ever before. His mask of indifference shattered when he began to hear strange ravings and murmurs. He understood them to be warnings of impending danger. To resist what fate has in store for him, he seeks power by becoming a Dreadborn-those who resist the monsters born from fear with fear. What is he willing to do to survive? Where will his thorny path lead him? What is he going to find when he ascends to the worlds peak?

At Astrails Academy, power isn’t rare—it’s practically required. Everyone arrives with a Unique Ability, an Arcane Power, and an ego inflated by centuries of privilege. They cast spells like poetry, duel for reputation, and expect the world to bow just because their name comes with a title. Ace Dragnell is not one of them. His powers don’t sparkle in tournaments. They don’t come with fanfare, legacy, or applause. They just work—cleanly, precisely, and without mercy. He doesn’t duel to entertain. He disassembles—arrogant young masters, smug nobles, and even the prideful ladies wrapped in silk and superiority. He’s not here to survive the academy. He’s here to make it his. The halls they once ruled? His. The factions they feared? His. The daughters they promised to power and legacy? They’ll kneel too. Because while the rest chase prestige… Ace came to take everything apart—and keep the best pieces for himself. -------------------------------------------------- Set in the same universe and timeline as my other novel, The Arrogant Young Master System, this story unfolds alongside it. The two main characters live in the same world—and there's a strong chance their ideologies will clash down the line. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Thanks for reading!

In a land where martial harmony sustains an ancient civilization, and sects stand as pillars of culture and power, a grand exchange brings together the most promising disciples of a united nation. Among them is one who arrives without a reputation, without allies — yet with eyes that see what others fear to question. As traditions are celebrated and prideful lineages showcased, a quiet presence unsettles the balance beneath the surface. Who decides the worth of a life? What lies beyond the silence of obedience?

It began without warning. No prophecy, no omen—only silence. The world carried on in its daily rhythm, unaware that the stars above had already begun to fall. One by one, they rained down like divine spears, tearing through sky and soil, obliterating cities, oceans, and every breath of life in an instant. Earth perished—not with a whisper, but with a cataclysmic end. Humanity was erased. Then, the cosmos followed. Worlds collapsed like dominos, and ancient black holes—long thought eternal—folded into one another and burst. Reality itself cracked, and in the void that followed, time stood still. All creation faded to black. But from the silence came a thunder. A single, impossible boom shattered the stillness. A new universe was born—violent, beautiful, and alive. From its heart spun countless galaxies, and within one, a world not unlike Earth emerged. Yet this world was stranger, wilder. Seven vast continents stretched across its surface, where green fields met crimson skies, and at the world’s center rose Thronemount Eternis, a godlike peak piercing into a continent hidden in the clouds. Life took form again, but it was changed. Beasts of unnatural shape roamed the forests, the skies, and the seas. Trees whispered in forgotten tongues. Magic breathed where science once reigned. And then, humanity returned. But not all. Only half of Earth’s former population reawakened—naked, breathless, and beneath alien skies. They remembered death. Now they stood in a world where the laws of nature had shifted. Some still looked human. Others did not. Scales, tails, gills, wings, fangs, and pointed ears marked the new races: dwarves, elves, beasts, demons, and beings no myth had ever told. Memories of Earth remained, but their talents, knowledge, and purpose had been stripped away. Confusion gave way to survival. Kingdoms rose from the soil, even beneath the ocean, and the remnants of mankind discovered magic—wielding power beyond any comprehension. Yet, amid this rebirth, one man did not return as the others did. When the old world ended, he touched something beyond existence—a primordial force known only as Infinity. It fused with his soul, binding him to time itself. He became immortal. Ageless. Fated to witness the endless unfolding of this new world’s history. To see civilizations rise and fall. To watch gods ascend and empires crumble. He remembers Earth. He remembers the fall. And now, he carries the burden of eternity. In this world reborn from ruin, the last remnants of mankind begin again—not as who they were, but as who they must become. And he will remember it all.

The world ended, and from its ashes, a new society rose. One where strength was law, and the weak were nothing more than dust beneath the feet of the powerful. Malakai Von Sanguine was meant to be great, a direct descendant of one of the grand families of the dome, the Sanguine Clan. But at seven, he lost everything: his parents, his future, and his ability to evolve. Branded as worthless, his life became a living hell, forced to survive in a world where the unevolved were walking corpses. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. One fateful encounter changed everything. He evolved. What he acquired was something far beyond the limits of his clan, something most wouldn’t believe possible. A power that defied the very laws that governed their new society. Now, there is only one goal: revenge. The people who took everything from him… he will hunt them to the ends of the earth. He will burn their names from history and carve his vengeance into their very bones. No mercy. No forgiveness. No escape. They will die screaming. Or he will die trying. … Discord: https://discord.gg/8JthpjYZez

The moonlight spilled through the canopy of the dark forest, casting an eerie glow on the man lounging against an ancient tree. Morris was impossibly handsome—too handsome to be real. His sharp jawline, framed by tousled black hair, was shadowed by the flicker of firelight in his golden eyes. He swirled a goblet of wine lazily in his hand, his lips curved into a devilish smirk. Elowen froze, captivated. He looked like a prince from a forbidden story, but something in the air warned her he was no mortal. “Lost, little lamb?” His voice was velvet, dark and smooth, wrapping around her like a spell. “I was...just—” she stammered, but he stood in one fluid motion, closing the distance between them. “Just wandering into my domain,” he interrupted, his tone teasing yet dangerous. “How bold of you.” His gaze raked over her, and her heart pounded under the weight of his attention. “You shouldn’t be here,” he murmured, stepping closer until she could feel the heat radiating from him. “Do you know who I am?” She shook her head, her throat dry. “I am Morris,” he said, his voice dropping to a low, seductive growl. “The devil. The one your kingdom fears, the one your priests curse. And now,” he leaned in, his golden eyes glowing like embers, “you’ve wandered straight into my hands.” The shadows around him seemed to ripple with his amusement as a smirk played on his lips. He extended a hand, his voice both a command and an invitation. “Come closer, Elowen. Let me show you what happens when innocence meets the devil.”

Hidden among mortals her entire life, Aelira has always felt the slow burn of something ancient inside her—a power she doesn’t understand, a name she doesn’t know, and a past too dangerous to remember. When her dormant magic erupts in a moment of crisis, Aelira is forced to flee the only life she’s known. Hunted by the very empire that destroyed her lineage, she’s saved by Kaelen, a sacred guardian once exiled for defying his king. Together, they journey into the heart of a broken realm to uncover the truth of Aelira’s bloodline—and the prophecy her existence threatens to fulfill. What she discovers is a truth more devastating than she could have imagined: Aelira is the daughter of both fire and shadow, born of the last Ember Queen and the tyrant king who burned the kingdom to the ground. Now her half-brother, Prince Caer, seeks to bind her to the same legacy of ruin—or destroy her before she can rise. As rebellion stirs and loyalties fracture, Aelira must navigate a world that sees her as a symbol of hope—or a harbinger of annihilation. Caught between love and power, vengeance and mercy, she must choose who she wants to become before war consumes everything. Will she forge her own destiny—or be consumed by the fire within?

In a world ruled by the elite "Animus"—humans who underwent such excessive modifications that they lost their very humanity—Zavrel Arkanor was born the heir to one of the most powerful families… then fell in crushing disgrace.

He has no choice but to become… something no one can defeat. –A.Isaac

Eliar grew up among murderers and criminals, in a world where love is punishable by death. His mission: to deceive a dangerous hacker girl. But when feelings begin to conflict, he must choose... Betrayal or loyalty? Obedience or rebellion?

Heaven-Defying Asura Li Shen is nothing more than a slave, despised and broken, a mere handyman in the prestigious Azure Cloud Sect. Unknown to all, he carries the cursed blood of the annihilated Heaven Destruction Clan, a lineage whose three patriarchs once dared to defy Heaven's Will. This forbidden heritage manifests as the Heaven Asura Destruction Body, a dormant power that renders him seemingly talentless in Qi Cultivation, constantly suppressed by the very essence of the world. His only path to power, and to full awakening, lies in the brutal consumption of demon-corrupted cultivators, whose blood feeds his unique constitution. When his former masters, the Blackwood Noble Clan, are decimated by a savage raid of these demon-corrupted forces, Li Shen, in a desperate struggle for survival, slays his first corrupted foe. This act triggers the faint stirrings of his terrifying potential, pushing him from victim to survivor. Rescued by the Azure Cloud Sect, he endures the scorn of the Handyman Elder Guo and the cosmic hindrance of Heaven Suppression, secretly honing his Blade Cultivation – the only path where his innate talent can flourish. His desperate goals are clear: achieve power for survival, exact revenge for his clan's downfall, gain recognition in a world that despises him, and, most crucially, procreate to ensure the continuation of his unique, heaven-defying bloodline. Li Shen's opportunity arises when he heroically saves the Grand Elder of the Outer Court, elevating him to an Outer Disciple and granting him access to the crucial "demon cleansing missions." Through these perilous missions, he ruthlessly hunts and absorbs the blood of countless demon-corrupted cultivators, rapidly awakening his Heaven Asura Destruction Body. His cultivation explodes, allowing him to easily comprehend Dao and identify the flaws in any technique, making him an unstoppable force. His ascent, however, is not without cost. Forced to flee the ruins of his temporary home, Li Shen finds himself thrust into the chaotic expanse of the Immortal Realm, where the true scale of the cosmic conflict is revealed. Here, he discovers the existence of the Heaven Will Judgment Clan, the enforcers of Heaven's dictates, who were directly responsible for the annihilation of his ancestors and now seek to finish off his bloodline. He also finds himself embroiled in a grand struggle against a powerful Demon Sovereign, whose influence spans realms and whose forces represent the very beings Li Shen has been consuming. His journey becomes a furious quest to not only survive and exact revenge on his oppressors but to challenge the very fabric of cosmic law. He cultivates beyond the known limits, pushing his Heaven Asura Destruction Body to its peak, defying all odds. In a climactic, realm-shattering confrontation, Li Shen, alongside his descendants – born from his desperate drive to procreate and imbued with his unique heritage – wages war against the Heaven Will Judgment Clan and clashes with the Demon Sovereign. In the end, Li Shen and his burgeoning Heaven Asura Destruction Clan triumph. The Heaven Will Judgment Clan is utterly annihilated, their reign ended, and the oppressive grasp of Heaven's Will is shattered. The world, no longer bound by cosmic tyranny, shifts, and a new era dawns, one where the Heaven Asura Destruction Clan reigns supreme, its legacy forged in blood, defiance, and the ultimate triumph over fate.

Seraphina Dorne only meant to escape a suitor, not bind her soul to Elion Thorne, the kingdom’s most feared and cursed noble. The bond should’ve killed her. Instead, it awakened something ancient. Now the court watches, the storm rises, and Elion’s curse threatens to consume them both. But as tension turns to heat, and duty turns to desire, Seraphina must decide: Is she falling for the man...or the monster? And when magic demands a price, will love be their salvation… or their ruin?

Cole Smith sat alone in his apartment. Relishing in his own sorrow. As he looked at the rankings of the MMO he had dedicated his entire life into playing. Although his entire life was only a sorrowful 23 years of age. It still meant a lot to him. He had spent 5 years playing the MMO ‘Arcadia’ a game built off the Arcadian engine, an incredible generation that formed an entire world through lines of code in mere weeks. And the world was manipulated as players advanced through it. Cole was a beta tester. Who had obtained a meek Paladin class. The Arcadian engine even had unique classes for every player. But Cole’s was probably the weakest in the game. Even as a tank. Yet he still fought. He made his way to the top ranks, even standing at number 1 for a time. Only to be struck down by a new age of battle mages, classes that were practically one man armies, who quickly flooded the ranks. Once the leaderboards changed, he wasn’t even in the top 10 anymore, and he received an email from the company that made Arcadia. Asking him if he wanted a second chance…only to wake up inside of the world of the game the next day.

Kang Jo-hoon is a broke, jobless Korean man with a degree in politics and economics—and a lot of bitterness. After rage-posting a sarcastic review on a low-rated fantasy novel called The Demon King’s Tea Time, he wakes up inside its crumbling world. Now stuck in a ruined kingdom with no powers, no allies, and a "family" that’s barely surviving, Jo-hoon or rather, Kairon, must use his brain instead of brawn to stay alive. His “father” is a former noble stripped of status, his “sister” is too kind for this world, oh and let's not talk about the "mother" and the once-great capital is now a ghost town haunted by debt, monsters, and betrayal. Armed with only his modern knowledge, sharp tongue, and twisted sense of humor, Jo-hoon takes on the impossible: rebuild the fallen house, outwit nobles and demons, and maybe—just maybe—turn this tragic fantasy into his own empire. A bad story can always be rewritten.

He got betrayed by his allies and a man finds himself cast into a world that has long since died. He awakens in the fragile body of a starving child, deep within a landscape of ruin city, monsters, and silence. With no memory of who he was or why he’s here, only one instinct remains—survive.

In a world ripped apart by war between humans and an alien race known as the Dra, peace is a fragile illusion held together by power, lies, and legacy. Kael Vorinn never asked to be the heir of a war profiteer empire. Born into wealth but chained by blood, Kael’s life is a gilded cage—his father cold, his sister ambitious, and his brother broken.

What if there was a world where cultivating power was as normal as breathing? Where children learned sword forms before they could even read — and schools taught lethal arts like they were just another subject. Sounds normal, right? Well… only if those schools were anything close to normal. Kaizen Moriya was born into this world with nothing but a dirt spoon and a family too poor to afford mistakes. And then, that opened its doors for him. A Gate full of opportunities for him. Now, Kaizen wields something that the world has no name for. A destiny that even the heavens fear to watch. He will be crowned in obsidian and shall be revered by everyone as....

But that all ended when he was betrayed by his own people and beheaded by his archrival.
