“You shall command… Legacy.” Charon thought he would grow up to be a hero, a savior, a shining light for all humans across the galaxy. But humanity is at war. Beset on all sides, their empire is standing only through the combined forces of technology and magic. Massive mechs were constructed, the fabled Colossus Machines, designed to defend the galaxy. The Mages were rallied, bringing forth elemental destruction. Yet it wasn't enough. Planets fell, their people enslaved to the enemies of mankind. Even the Colossus Machines, strong as they were, could not keep up. Charon was one of the orphans caught in the war effort, surviving through determination and courage, earning him the gaze of the God of Death. Gifted with a great and terrible power, the reviled element Soul, the dead around him suddenly become gateways into a realm thought lost to time. Through it, he can chain undead beasts to himself, forcing them to serve in his legions. With these powers, he learns something new about magic and technology: He can fuse souls into the Colossus Machines, allowing the power of Death to run through their cores. They become warped, twisted machines of vengeance that earn malevolent abilities. They become strong enough to win a war. Magic and machine are mixed to create something more, something darker. An army fit for a master of magic, a general of legions, a conqueror of the stars... An Archon of Death. **WARNING** The story has a lot of nuance and subplots.

Matthew, a 25-year-old otaku, never imagined his obsession with fantasy worlds would turn into reality—until a fatal gas leak ended his life and transported him to another world. But this wasn’t the second chance he hoped for. Born as the illegitimate son of an affair, his very existence was a stain on his family’s honor, and his father relentlessly sought to kill him. Yet Matthew, now Claude, survived, again and again, driven by an unyielding will to live. Until one day he discovered his power darkness. Feared and reviled in this world, dark mages were hunted and burned alive. Knowing his gift could become his downfall, he trained in secret under Theo, his true father.

The voice of the man before him confirmed it. “You are the descendant of the Lord of Calamity. I grant you this kingdom and the power to crush all who stand in your way.” The man’s lips curled into a chilling smile. “Write your own bloody history, Claude. Until we meet again, I expect you to have conquered this world.” And with that, Claude awakened to a power beyond his imagination—the legendary system he had longed for. Yet, as he soon realized, it was no system at all. [Oh? So you expect me to be like the ones in your memories?] [A system that grants you quests and guides your hand?] [Very well.] [Welcome to the Elysium of Darkness System, Lord of Calamity.] A series of commands etched themselves into his mind, each word dripping with ominous purpose. [Your first quest has been issued.] [Increase the number of dwellers in Elysium using your seed and blood. Spread your legacy by making demons and witches bear your children.]

The War of Mortals Against Gods When ancient myths are no longer legends, but revelations of the universe's ultimate horror. In 2024, China accidentally touched a forbidden secret on the far side of the moon, awakening the "Primal Chaos" that had slept for ten millennia—a group of immortal "Ancient Gods" who manipulate the laws of the cosmos. Every five years, they descend upon Earth, wielding powers beyond mortal comprehension to conduct a bloody harvest. The fate of human civilization is thrust into a "War of Mortals and Gods" spanning ten thousand years. From Chang'e's tragic sacrifice to suppress the gods, to the tear-stained epic of the Great Flood and Nüwa mending the heavens, the legends passed down through generations of mortals turn out to be real imprints of resistance against the deities. Facing this divine judgment, humanity awakens from initial ignorance, internal strife, and arrogance through bloodshed. Through repeated, agonizing "Five-Year Curses," they cast aside all selfish desires, forging "Law Weapons" with their flesh and blood, using technology to wield the first sharp blade against the gods. However, this is not the end. When the "Primal Chaos" reveals new, more cunning and psychologically devastating abilities, humanity's only hope rests on a solitary ark named the "Ark of Hope." It will carry humanity's last vestiges of faith, sailing 200,000 light-years into unknown deep space, to seek the fabled "Friendly Gods" who supposedly once aided humanity. This is an epic about sacrifice, unity, technology, and faith. With each passing "Five-Year Curse" countdown, can mortals defy fate, secure a glimmer of hope for civilization, and perhaps even bring a definitive end to this ten-thousand-year destiny?

With a lullaby as farewell, she lets the child drift into the current—abandoned to darkness, forgotten by the world. But something otherworldly was watching. From the forest’s breath and the river’s mouth, a presence of silk and shadow emerges — ancient, monstrous, and mournful. It saves the child, not out of kindness, but from a force deeper than mercy: instinct. What it returns to the world is no longer just a human girl. Sha is raised not by hands, but by legs — sharpened, webbed, and many. She learns to walk with quiet steps, to speak with silence, and to see through more than just eyes. Her name, barely remembered from a tattered rags, becomes a curse and a promise. As Sha grows, the world beyond the woods stirs with whispers. Something is hunting what should have died. And Sha, caught between the blood of her mother and the venom of her new one, must decide what kind of monster she is willing to become. A dark, lyrical fable about abandonment, transformation, and the strange shapes love can take — Sha Doe is the beginning of a tale spun in silk and sorrow.

Dans un monde déchiré par la fusion ancienne entre l’univers humain et le royaume féérique, les cendres de la guerre, du rejet et de l’injustice continuent d’alimenter les rêves brisés de ceux qu’on a toujours laissés de côté. Elle, c’est une jeune Fée née sans ailes, méprisée de tous, vivant dans les Basfonds de Sylvania, dernier bastion d’une monarchie aussi brillante que pourrie de l’intérieur. Lui, c’est un humain errant, survivant d’un massacre oublié, porteur d’un pouvoir dévastateur et d’un nom effacé, que l’on surnomme avec crainte… le Héros. Leurs routes se croisent dans un royaume où les couronnes se disputent par le sang, où les dieux se sont tus, et où les cicatrices de l’Histoire hurlent sous la surface. Entre complots royaux, rivalités tribales, assassinats politiques et tournois meurtriers, ils devront apprendre à survivre, à se haïr, à s’entraider… et peut-être à réécrire les règles d’un monde qui ne leur a jamais laissé de place. Mais alors que des forces anciennes s’éveillent, que la frontière entre rêve et cauchemar se brouille, la légende du premier Héros et de la première Fée pourrait renaître… ou s’éteindre à jamais.

L’univers est vaste… infiniment vaste. Mais derrière son immensité, il y a la fatigue d’un monde ancien. Un monde qui a vu naître, grandir et s’éteindre d’innombrables civilisations. Les peuples qui y vivent encore qu’ils soient faits de chair, d’énergie ou de pierre savent, au fond d’eux, que ce vieux corps cosmique, père de toutes les vies, approche doucement de sa fin. Et pourtant, personne ne s’arrête. Les empires continuent de s’étendre, dévorant les mondes un à un, imposant leur ordre là où régnaient autrefois le chaos ou la liberté. D’autres, plus solitaires, quittent tout derrière eux pour suivre les traces des anciens, traquant les secrets oubliés, les vestiges interdits, les murmures enfouis dans la poussière d’étoiles. Car il reste tant à explorer. Tant à comprendre. Et malgré la ruine qui vient, tant à pleurer… et même, parfois, à rire. Ainsi s’écrit la fin d’un monde non pas dans le silence, mais dans les pas obstinés de ceux qui refusent d’oublier ou de se résigner.

In a world once protected by the eternal Guardian God, peace shattered when the deity met an inexplicable and untimely death. With the divine order broken, the land plunged into chaos. From the ashes of tranquility, a trial known as "The Stage" was born—a brutal contest where the most powerful beings of creation vie to shape the future. Constellations, ancient entities from across myth and legend, descend from their celestial realms to offer their blessings, each seeking to crown their chosen vessel as the next Guardian God. A new age teeters on the brink, its fate hanging on the outcome of this grim selection. Amid the strife, a lone figure rises—blessed by an unnamed Constellation, shrouded in mystery. Burdened with the mantle of destiny, this vessel must navigate a world consumed by power struggles, betrayal, and the looming shadow of an ancient secret, all while contending for the right to rule as the new Guardian God.

Isaac Vellum was once hailed as a genius — a visionary mind destined to change the world. But betrayal, loss, and relentless misfortune stripped him of everything. At thirty-five, abandoned by the world he once sought to elevate, Isaac dies anonymously... saving a child in an act of final defiance. But death isn't the end. He awakens — not in the afterlife — but in a futuristic world where humanity draws power from Ki Cores, crystalline organs that grow in strength and color across ten fabled tiers. The strongest known human has only reached the Seventh Core... yet Isaac is born with a core unlike anything recorded in history — clear, pulsing, limitless. Reincarnated as a newborn named Caelum, he retains his memories, intelligence, and emotional scars. Raised in a powerful but loving family, with an energetic older sister and a mother who sees greatness in his eyes, Caelum begins a second life — and a second journey. As he grows, so does his core — evolving rapidly, breaking natural laws, and drawing attention from forces both noble and dangerous. In a world governed by strength, legacy, and fear of the unknown, Caelum must decide: Will he live quietly, hidden in the shadow of giants? Or will he rise — not just to reach the Tenth Core — but to surpass it? From a shattered soul rises a force the world is unprepared for. This time, he's not chasing legacy... He's becoming it.

A realm populated by mortals, where demigods and gods were beings of fables and legends only. This peaceful and mundane world experiences an irreversible change that gives rise to not just cultivators but brands of new lifeforms. Demons rise up as animals transform and gain intelligence, and the world itself changes forever. After thousands of years, the one behind this cataclysmic event is finally reborn into a new family, body, and existence as a ruling empire's famous general's daughter. This may cause some unexpected hurdles along the way... But what else would make it more fun to reach back to the top if not a new challenge?
