Divergent Tobias

Across the vast convolution of worlds, divine beings rule as absolute sovereigns—each god assigned dominion over a singular realm. Skirmishes are inevitable, whether for power, amusement, or sheer pettiness. One such battle, between Nexus, the God of Trickery, and an aging, senile deity, resulted in an anomaly… A soul misplaced. Elliot, an ordinary man, was never meant for Ul’Tra-el. But fate, or perhaps a cosmic prank, had other plans. Unlike other worlds, Ul’Tra-el is an aberration—one that developed a voice. A voice that diverged from the natural order. A voice that changed everything. Its foundation cracked, leaking dimensions into one another. Rifts tore open like festering wounds, vomiting forth unspeakable horrors—monsters not meant to exist. But the world did not sit idly by. In response—perhaps an act of self-preservation—the world gifted its inhabitants power. Talents awakened, granting people extraordinary abilities. And for every rift sealed, the Voice of Ul rewarded them generously. Survival was simple: fight, grow stronger, and close the rifts… or die trying. In this ruthless, blood-soaked reality, Northern—a white-haired boy burdened by his past life—was reincarnated. But unlike the chosen heroes, he awakened as a talentless nobody. No power. No strength. No future. And when death loomed over him—when despair clawed at his soul and the cold grip of the failure threatened to take him— A Voice responded: [System Notice] [Your Soul cannot take a form.] [Searching for a Unique Pattern Ability…] [Searching…] [Search Found.] [A Unique System Ability has been detected.] [You Can Copy And Evolve Talents] ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.

In his past life, Ethan Steele was an ordinary man living in a modern world—working a dead-end job, struggling through the monotony of daily life, and haunted by regrets of missed opportunities. At the age of 23, his life came to a sudden, unexpected end in a car accident. As his consciousness faded into darkness, he was sure it was over. But fate had other plans. In the divine realm, the God of Fate watched over the balance of life and death. Ethan's untimely death was a mistake, an anomaly that diverged from the preordained path of his destiny. It wasn't yet his time to die, and so, the god decided to give him another chance. "You were meant for greater things, Ethan Steele," the god's voice boomed. "To correct this error, I will reincarnate you in another world—one filled with magic, swords, kingdoms, and adventure. You shall be reborn, but you will not remember your past until the appointed time. There is, however, a... complication." By divine error, the god accidentally bestowed Ethan with the Harem God System without having any idea about it. This system is a powerful, reality-bending system that would allow him to charm and seduce influential women to build his harem, growing in strength and power with each conquest. "Your memories of Earth will return on your seventh birthday. I hope you enjoy your life here in this world" And with that, Ethan's soul was transported to a new world.

It follows the diverging paths of a brother and sister, each destined to wield immense power, yet driven by conflicting visions of balance.

Isolated, Sentrey discovers a forgotten artifact: the Heart-Stone, a conduit to ancient, untamed "wild mana." Through this connection, he unearths a shocking truth: Spark magic is not pristine, but an ancient invention, a magnificent prison designed to suppress the world's raw, chaotic magic after a catastrophic event known as the Great Sundering.

The Primordial Godly Decree: A Saga of Defiance and Cosmic Ascension Embark on an epic journey through "The Primordial Godly Decree," a sprawling tale of cultivation, destiny, and defiance that weaves together the intricate world-building of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" with the grand, primordial scope of "Perfect World." This is the story of Emperor Defiance (Đế Nghịch), a name that echoes his destined path to challenge the very fabric of existence. Our protagonist, Emperor Defiance, hails from a humble, resource-scarce mortal realm, initially branded as a "cripple" with meager talent. Yet, fate intervenes with the discovery of a mysterious ancient relic – be it a hidden scroll of Primordial Godly Runes, a strange spiritual jade, or a peculiar immortal gourd – that ignites his cultivation path. Unlike the typical hot-headed hero, Emperor Defiance embodies the meticulous caution of a true "mortal cultivator." He's cunning, reserved, and calculates every step, always concealing his true strength, meticulously gathering spiritual resources, and refining his cultivation techniques to ensure survival and growth. His journey is a relentless climb through the perilous Mortal Realm, navigating treacherous sects, cutthroat factions, and fierce battles for spirit stones and elixirs. Here, he hones his wits, masters the art of concealed power, and learns the brutal lessons of survival in a world where might makes right. But the mortal realm is merely the beginning. Driven by an insatiable thirst for power and understanding, Emperor Defiance ventures into the Ancient Desolate Restricted Zones and Blood Sea Abysses. Within these forbidden territories, he unearths fragments of a lost past – remnants of ancient civilizations, forgotten Heaven and Earth Treasures, and perhaps even a sliver of the Primordial Godly Decree itself, a primal essence sealed away for untold eons. These discoveries hint at a grander narrative, intertwining his destiny with the very origins of the cosmos. Upon his ascension to the Immortal Realm, Emperor Defiance steps into a vast and perilous cosmos ruled by Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors, where Lesser Calamities constantly threaten to reshape entire star domains. Here, he begins to truly awaken his hidden potential – perhaps a dormant primordial bloodline or a unique ancient physique that sets him apart. His path diverges from a single cultivation method; instead, he embarks on a quest to gather and fuse countless cultivation arts, battle techniques, divine elixirs, and rare Heaven and Earth Treasures from across myriad Realms and Forbidden Zones. His goals transcend mere Immortal Essence Stones; he seeks the very Divine Origin Cores, Dao Origin Cores, and the fundamental Laws of the Great Dao. As he climbs the awe-inspiring ranks – from True Immortal to Immortal King, then Immortal Emperor, and beyond into the Divine and Saint Realms, and ultimately the Dao, Chaos, and Nirvana Realms (each requiring trillions of cycles of tribulation and reincarnation) – Emperor Defiance will face ancient conspiracies, primordial entities, and the ultimate test of his will. His name, Defiance, isn't just a title; it's his creed. He challenges established rules, defies destiny, and forges his own path to transcend the Primordial Godly Decree, perhaps even becoming the architect or destroyer of Grand Cycle Calamities himself. His ultimate quest is not just about power, but about uncovering the deepest truths of his origin, the secrets of the Primordial Godly Decree, and the meaning behind the endless cycles of Grand Cycle Calamities. Will he merely ascend, or will he rewrite the very laws of the multiverse, becoming the supreme existence that shapes the destiny of all?

In a world where power is determined by the veins one inherits, every individual's strength is revealed on their 16th birthday through an event known as the Awakening Ceremony. The veins, mystical pathways within the body, unlock a person's unique ability and define their place in society. From the lowest to the highest, the world is divided into 11 power tiers, each tier marking a new level of control and destructive potential over their powers. The story centers around Kian Balthor, an anomaly in this system. As the son of two powerful individuals—his mother, Lena, with the ability to manipulate space (Void Horizon), and his father, Kairo, with the power to harness chaotic energy (Aether Surge)—Kian’s awakening defies all expectations. With Mythical veins, the rarest and most powerful veins known, Kian’s awakening is nothing short of extraordinary. He becomes the focus of awe and fear as his powers, a fusion of chaos and space itself, surge uncontrollably. But Kian is not the only one awakening that day. His peers each step onto the stage, unveiling powers of their own. Some awaken with basic abilities—like the control of fire, water, or super strength—while others, like Mila Cruz, awaken with nothing at all, her Common veins giving her only the faintest flicker of light. As the ceremony unfolds, the students’ paths begin to diverge, with some finding themselves elevated while others face the harsh reality of their limits. This novel sets the stage for a world where power is everything, and only the strong thrive. Kian’s journey will not only redefine his own destiny but will also challenge the very structure of this power-driven society. As he stands at the center of a storm, it’s clear that his awakening is just the beginning of a much larger story—one where the line between gods and mortals is forever blurred.

In a universe governed by three great Existences, reality is divided into countless worlds, each shaped by its own laws, each existing on a different level of being. Some of these worlds lie on the lower planes — fragile, simple, but stable. Others ascend to higher realms, rich with potential, yet plagued by anomalies — twisted phenomena that threaten to unravel them from within. To preserve the delicate balance of this vast cosmic order, the Existences created a solution: the Heroes. Chosen from among the rarest of entities, these beings are sent into unstable worlds to confront the abnormalities and restore harmony. They are weapons, saviors, sacrifices — bound by sacred vows, and driven by purpose beyond choice. This is the story of one such Hero. Torn from their origin and cast into a broken world, they must face horrors shaped by chaos and consequence. Failure is not an option — for it would mean not just the end of a world, but the unraveling of fate itself. Destined to rise, yet doomed to suffer. Their journey will be one of power, pain, and impossible choices. For to save what is broken, one must sometimes break themselves. A tale of transcendence through trial — and of a light that dares to burn in the heart of collapse.

In the midnight glare of neon lights and city noise, the vibrant facade of a nightclub masks a darker undercurrent of despair, rebellion, and choices that shape destinies. “Nocturne of Ashes” begins with a powerful confrontation between two cousins—one upright and studious, the other rebellious and lost in the neon haze of nightlife. Zhou Chaochao, a principled and composed young woman, finds herself outside the nightclub "Huise," desperately trying to pull her cousin Zhou Yuan out of the shadows. Zhou Yuan, only seventeen, has dropped out of school to work in a club as a hostess. With her provocative appearance and defiant attitude, she is a stark contrast to Zhou Chaochao’s buttoned-up demeanor. Despite their childhood bond, they’ve grown apart—one ascending the path of education, the other descending into the city’s underbelly. What unfolds between them is a heart-wrenching conversation that reveals more than just diverging life choices—it peels back layers of pain, social inequality, and broken families. Zhou Yuan is not merely rebellious; she is a young woman cornered by circumstance. With a mentally ill mother and a gambling father, she’s learned that beauty and street smarts are her only currency. To her, books are a luxury for the privileged, not a lifeline for survival. Just when Zhou Chaochao is about to give up, the night takes a darker turn. Lost in the chaotic crowd inside the club, she finds herself harassed by drunken thugs at the door. It's here that the story shifts from emotional drama to tense suspense—until a mysterious man steps in. Enter Lu Lie—a cold, disheveled, and enigmatic figure with a piercing gaze and a dangerous aura. With swift decisiveness, he pulls Zhou Chaochao into his arms, saving her from potential harm. But he’s no knight in shining armor. He’s rough around the edges, brimming with cynicism, and seems to carry a past full of shadows. Their brief, charged encounter leaves Zhou Chaochao stunned—especially because she remembers him from long ago, though he doesn’t seem to recognize her. This single night sets off a ripple of emotions and consequences. For Zhou Chaochao, it marks the beginning of a silent awakening—into a world far darker and more complicated than the pages of her textbooks. For Lu Lie, it's just another detour on a mission rooted in danger, as he receives a coded message through his earpiece hinting at an undercover operation. “Nocturne of Ashes” is not just a tale of reunion or rescue—it’s a layered exploration of moral ambiguity, youthful rebellion, and the choices that define us. At its core, it’s about two people whose lives shouldn’t intersect, and yet do—in the most unexpected way, on the most dangerous night. This story blends urban grit with emotional vulnerability, making it a compelling read for fans of realistic fiction, suspense, and emotional drama. Through raw dialogue, tightly paced scenes, and rich character psychology, it invites readers to ask: When the world has already labeled you a “bad person,” is redemption still possible?

Superpowers appeared suddenly plunging the world into chaos. Wars broke out, countries were destroyed, and the powers spread like a plague. 100 years later powers became the norm, countries all collapsed, and The Watch rose up to protect the world. Life was black and white. The heroes fought the villains and saved the day, the villains did bad things and were defeated. That’s how most children saw it. Peter Het never should have seen it that way, but he did - until his image of the world burnt in front of his eyes. Levi Winter always saw it that way - until the world gave him reason to. Both wanted to try and make a difference using the powers they'd been born with. One had planned to help the world by being the perfect hero, the other by killing the people he saw as responsible for the problems that polluted the world. Neither found themselves doing what they’d imagined. The one seeking to be a hero became a criminal, the one seeking vengeance became an icon of heroes. Their paths in life diverged like streams rushing down a mountain and are then brought back together to cascade over the edge into a new unknown. Both are seeking peace in the unceasing hurricane of life and the violence they can’t escape, and they’ve come to realize that ‘hero’ is nothing more than a title.

This isn’t a story about a poor girl hooking up with a rich dude with a lot of power. Bound by Desire is special in that it’s based on overwhelming emotion, perilous desire, and the constant fight for dominance between two vastly divergent worlds. Elena isn’t the usual helpless female lead she’s fragile, sure, but she’s also clever and bullheaded, and, in a brutal world, she’s looking out for her own survival. She’s thrust into the world of Damian Blackwood not by choice, but by mere chance and that’s what makes their bond feel authentic, visceral and wrong. Damian is not just wealthy and ruthless. What makes him so unforgettable is how protective and possessive he gets about Elena not because she’s perfect, but because she’s imperfect. Because she challenges him. Because she doesn’t swoon at his feet like everyone else does. And then there’s Nathan the twist that adds an extra layer of intrigue to this story. He’s not simply an ex or a jealous villain he’s her history, her trauma, her greatest mistake. And now he is her most dangerous foe. What makes this story remarkable is that it’s a war on every front: A war between love and power. The war between freedom & obsession A war between two men one who wants to possess her and one who wants to defend her... at any cost. It’s the push and pull between Elena and Damian that leaves readers breathless their chemistry is something no one can control, but their world is fraught with danger, betrayal, secrets and laws that were never supposed to be broken. This isn’t just a love story. This is survival. This is an obsession. Welcome to Bound by Desire, where love is not soft or safe... it’s dangerous.

Mary, before becoming the Child of Slaughter was nothing more than a weak and sickly orphan from a distant blue star called Earth. On that humble planet, she was unremarkable—just another faceless soul among countless others, resigned to a quiet and lonely demise. Her life was ordinary, fleeting, and insignificant. But fate had other plans Without warning, Mary was cast into the World of Chaos—a realm of endless darkness, chaos and destruction Stripped of the mundane comforts of her former life, she struggled to adapt, clinging to survival with her frail body. Yet no amount of resolve could shield her from the harshness of this new reality Eventually, the cruelty of her circumstances broke her. Her innocence was gone, and in its place, something cold and hateful took root. She became a machine of war—a tool forged by necessity, conditioned to kill, to survive, and to endure in a world that demanded blood and sacrifice But even in the abyss, there remained a faint glimmer of hope Mary encountered Ethan Bright, the Archduke of Dreams. He was the Perfect Being and one of the Four Rulers of the now-fallen Empire His very existence gave people hope that one day, the Empire would be rebuilt and that peace would return to this cursed world, but hope was never enough Calamity struck again and again. So as the years passed the burning star was eventually extinguished. As everything they tried so hard to perserve crumbled before them Faced with the inevitable end, Ethan Bright fell just like the others. The Perfect Being, the loving husband, the devoted father–he was no more. What remained was an empty shell, consumed by despair and madness. No longer the Archduke of Dreams, he became the Sin of Avaritia, a being consumed by insatiable longing and regret In his descent, Ethan embarked on a path of self-destruction, conducting countless experiments in a desperate attempt to change their predetermined future. In his madness, Ethan even went as far as creating the embodiment of Chaos itself, accelerating the death of an already dying world During this madness all those who sought to stop or save him fell one by one, unable to withstand the merciless path he had carved for himself And after everything that has happened, only one remained—Mary. She was the last tether to his shattered mind, the only constant in his spiral of destruction. She was all he had left to protect, the only reminder of the man he used to be Confronted with the weight of his sins and the irreversible consequences of his actions, Ethan became The One Who Wished, a being who chased the impossible—atonement for an unforgivable sin Consumed by regret, he desperately sought a way to undo the damage he had wrought. And yet every effort proved fruitless, but even then he pressed on, clinging to the faintest sliver of hope But at the face of an inevitable end, Ethan made his most desperate and selfish choice He cursed Mary with a twisted form of immortality–one born of his own shattered dreams and unyielding desire to see her live on. It was a cruel gift, an unbreakable chain tying her to a future that he has failed to protect Though he expected her hatred– though he deserved her scorn–Ethan still dared to hope. Somewhere in the depths of his broken mind, he wished for her understanding, for her forgiveness It was a foolish dream, but it was all he had left And so, Mary endured Iteration after iteration, their destinies unfolded anew. With each cycle, they changed—growing, learning, diverging from the paths that were once thought inevitable. This time, they would rise to confront the sins of their past, the burdens of their present, and the sinners across countless timelines Hopefully this time, Mary and Ethan would change their predetermined future As they face their irredeemable past and carve a new future from the wreckage of despair Though the question remained: Can they finally break free from their predetermined fate? Only time will tell
