Astral Yugioh

Facing extinction, humanity seeks salvation in the Astral Verge, a dangerous dimension accessed via portals that threatened to wipe out the entire planet. Few years later, aspiring recruit Daniel Vance enters the Verge for his final assessment, hoping to Awaken a Talent and secure his future. While others gain common abilities, Daniel secretly Awakens the mythical SSS-Grade Talent: [Soul Assimilation]. This allows him to absorb essence, enhancing gear, gaining stats and EXP from slain creatures, and crucially, absorbing attributes and skills from fallen Awakened. Witnessing the swift death of the arrogant Jaxon Rex, Daniel makes a grim choice: he assimilates Jaxon, gaining his first skill, [Kinetic Pulse]. This sets his path: scavenging the aftermath of others’ battles. He enhances gear and, after achieving his first kill on an injured beast, waits patiently to assimilate two more fallen recruits, acquiring [Quick Step] and the invaluable passive [Aura Sense]. Starting as average, Daniel rapidly gains power in secret, enhanced gear, multiple skills, and boosted stats , far exceeding his peers while remaining outwardly unremarkable. He navigates the lethal Verge alone, using its inherent dangers to fuel his growth, wrestling with the moral cost of his unique, overwhelming power.

Drifting across the abyss was the soul of a celestial. Immensely loved by the universe yet bound by the chains of nihility, he was never able to leave his ruling realm due to constraints. Time passed, moments became days, days became years and years became eons. Did he even exist? He didn’t know the answer to that. Suddenly a bright light apeared in the abysmal darkness, he was overjoyed thinking that he might not have been alone. To his dismay, it was not another residue soul but instead a single page with letters incomprehensible. Upon reading the page, great pain struck his astral self shattering it and merging with the page. The pain was so great that he lost consciousness. On waking up, he noticed he was no longer in the void. ~ In his first life he was the King of Fairies, in his second life he was a normal human in a parallel world. His arrogance and narcissism had toned down quite a bit due to becoming a powerless being. Still he didn’t give up hope! He was finally able to become a world renowned pianist. And a secret doctor in the underword, using his expert acupuncture techniques. Many thought that he was a chunnibyo because of how he talked, he ignored them all. Many women threw themselves at him, but he rejected them all. Even though he had become human he refused to even look at a human girl. Ugly! That’s how they looked to him. Him, who had seen world shaking beauties couldn’t even bare to look at human women. Hence many people thought he was gay and sent gay people to him to curry favor with. Result? He killed the bastards! In the end, his second life was like a joke. Choking on cup noodles his life came at an abrupt end. But the end is a start of another beginning. And this beginning would be the best one ever. … One thing is certain, beauties from all the realms, be it the Celestial or the Godly! All would fall in love with him!

Qu'est-ce qu'il n'y a pas à aimer dans ma nouvelle vie après avoir migré dans un monde centré sur les Animaux Astraux ? Il y a des créatures puissantes de toutes formes et tailles. Elles peuvent être des compagnons câlins, des aides dans la vie quotidienne, des éclaireurs audacieux ou de forts combattants. Ou tout ça à la fois. Pas mal, hein ? J'ai une famille, mais en réalité, c'est complètement éclipsé par ma sœur cadette. Elle me déteste profondément, et elle s'assure que je le sache. Chaque. Putain. De. Jour. Ai-je mentionné qu'elle est dégoûtamment talentueuse tandis que je ne suis qu'un moins que rien ? Un sacrément beau gosse avec ça. J'ai carte blanche pour diriger l'entreprise familiale par moi-même. Une petite Animalerie pittoresque. Ça aurait pu être génial si ce n'est le fait que le propriétaire précédent de ce corps était né avec ZÉRO affinité pour gérer les Animaux Astraux... Une vraie transmigration ne serait pas complète sans un truc ou un système pour paver ma route vers la grandeur, vous ne pensez pas ? J'en ai un, mais je ne sais pas si je ne serais pas mieux sans... Bienvenue dans le Monde des Animaux Astraux !

Was kann man an meinem neuen Leben nicht lieben, nachdem ich in eine haustierzentrierte Welt übergewechselt bin? Es gibt mächtige Kreaturen, die in allen Formen und Größen vorkommen. Sie können entweder kuschelige Begleiter, Helfer im Alltag, wagemutige Späher oder starke Kämpfer sein. Oder alles davon. Nicht schlecht, oder? Ich habe eine Familie, aber diese Tatsache wird von meiner jüngeren Schwester völlig überschattet. Sie hasst mich abgrundtief, und sie sorgt dafür, dass ich das weiß. Jedes. Einzelnen. Tag. Habe ich schon erwähnt, dass sie ekelhaft talentiert ist, während ich ein Versager bin? Und ein furchtbar gutaussehender noch dazu. Ich habe freie Hand, um das Familienunternehmen allein zu führen. Eine kleine und beschauliche Tierhandlung. Es hätte großartig werden können, wenn nicht der vorherige Besitzer dieses Körpers mit NULL Affinität zum Umgang mit astralen Haustieren geboren worden wäre... Es wäre keine richtige Seelenwanderung ohne ein Gimmick oder ein System, das mir den Weg zur Größe ebnet, meinst du nicht? Ich habe eins, aber ich weiß nicht, ob ich ohne es besser dran wäre... Willkommen in der Welt der astralen Haustiere!

“They said he was cursed. Born powerless. Marked by the stars themselves.” In a world where power is everything—where mighty clans rule with blood and beasts, and magic is carved into the bones of the strong—Kael Ardyn is born during a celestial storm that silences the skies. With no past life, no cheat system, and no natural talent, he starts with nothing. But Kael has something greater than power: a living, loving family… and the will to rise. As he unlocks the forbidden Astral Veins, forms soul-bonds with ancient beasts, and forges his own style of magic-infused martial arts, Kael will defy every prophecy written against him. Along the way, he’ll clash with royals, rival prodigies, and monsters from beyond the veil—while slowly winning the heart of a powerful Elven princess who was never meant to fall for a human. This is not a tale of fate. This is a tale of legacy. From ashes, he will rise. And the Astral Throne will tremble.

A new work from the author of 'Astral Pet Store', welcome to enjoy it! ———— In chaotic times, one seeks survival; in prosperous times, one seeks fame. Despite being weathered by the vicissitudes of life, the Great Yu Dynasty still found itself in an era of prosperity. In the northwest, a youth trekked nine thousand miles on foot, slaying the Great Demon alone to compete for a lifetime of glory. In Long Lake, an unmatched Grandmaster hurried to the mortal realm to establish a sect, leaving his name to be revered for a hundred generations. In the imperial capital, a saintly figure spread his teachings far and wide, with followers throughout Qingzhou, his legacy lasting forever. Yet within Qingzhou City, in the compound of a family with a long military heritage, there was a child who never engaged in serious pursuits, instead spending his days playing chess, painting, fishing, and playing the zither. Years later— …… When the sword rose, dragon smoke stretched for three thousand miles, and a single strike wiped out the cities of nine provinces! Among all the laws of the world, only I, have entered the path. …… 【Light-Hearted Humor】【Martial Path Panel】【Art Master】【Scheming】

"Not all sins can be redeemed. And not all beings are meant to be reborn." Enver Eraly is a Hellseer—a cursed seer who can perceive and purify astral entities dwelling within the bodies of sinful humans. He is immortal, yet unbearably alone. Powerful, yet endlessly hunted by a fate he despises. At the edge of the world, a girl named Lumina lives among ancient spirits who reject the existence of mankind. She was meant to die, yet something within her causes the spirits to tremble—an essence of life no human should possess. When the highest spirit comes to beg Enver to save Lumina, two forsaken destinies begin to intertwine. But the world does not want them to live. Humans want them gone. Spirits want them purified. And the universe... is merely waiting for the moment they destroy each other. --- Hellseer: Essence of Life – The Outcast Mage is a tale of redemption, spiritual warfare, and two souls carrying the weight of the world—in a silence they never chose, and a love they can never truly hold.

~Updates Daily~ Single love interest Yuri! --- After failing to ascend to the heights of Divinity despite all her preparations, an ancient cultivator finds herself not embracing the emptiness of the void - but the interior warmth of a womb. Reborn into a new life, with her memories intact - she carefully starts over from an infant. - Navigating her new family: [Really easy with only two parents and an estate full of servants!] - How to portray herself: [Everyone likes 'sweet' kids and trusts (underestimates) 'weak' girls! That should be most fun~] - Showing off the power she gathers: [This region is a 'backwater', but who knows what is out there - let's just take it slow~] - Marriage arranged before birth: [Mm... my parents adore me so at an appropriate time I'll just have it cancel- oh?] - Dealing with 'amusing' deceit: [Cute. 'He' looks worried still, but 'he' doesn't have to worry from me!] - Confronting the 'son' in private: [Whatever your family's iffy plan is, I just obtained a husband-wife~] Even in this new life, [Elua er Goltbred] can't and doesn't *want* to change who she really is at the deepest level. A scheming cultivator. A possessive lover. Neither of those things had been a real hindrance to the Peak of Demi-God. Balancing the two traits in this life - without driving away the young 'boy' she decided to support and be supported by when they both came of age - centers as much around helping [Qatrand er Yecine] find herself within who her family has made of her... As it is hoping to ease the dear fiance into how messed up the (ancient) girl honestly is. With her Astralism unchanged despite reincarnation... she can improvise plenty with her ridiculous control of Illusions and more. Which is a good thing - because plans fail and unexpected things happen when you're not *really* a genius just because you know more than others. Unexpected things... like her Physique in this life allowing the lightest 'grip' to crack stone... Despite being a little stunted by her family environment early on, [Qat] finds her future wife to be 'cute' on their first meeting... but she really shouldn't have let on and said it out loud. It made her [El] kind of vain - and kind of want to remain as cute as can be for her future spouse! - - - Oh, and *muscles*. [Elua]: I just like looking at them, okay!? Is it so weird? People can have hobbies... - - - Power System: > Types of Cultivation // Spiritual (Soul), Physical (Body), Essence (Qi) > Aspect Trinity // Astralism, Physique, Element 'Ranks' Initial - Early, Mid, Late Lower Realms // Enchanter, Primalist, Breacher Upper Realms // Defier, Demi-god, Divinity - Echelons (First -> Seventh[Peak]) - - - Other Tags: #GL #Slice of Life #Comedy #TheStrongActingWeak #ChildhoodSweethearts (It counts!) Cover Art: AI Text Prompt Generation + title (etc.) added with an image editor. I also tend to do other 'fixes' in post! Potential trigger warnings: > A reincarnator MC that gets a little 'thirsty' a little 'young' but successfully tries to 'keep her own pants on' until the proper age, because she knows it's better for her intended partner that way. > A toxic family environment willing to force an unloved child into the role of a crossdresser. A child that grew more than okay with it. She likes wearing the aesthetics of men's suits! > 'Pretty Good Dad' intentionally *picked on* by his 'sweet daughter', all for being a relatively 'minor obstacle'. Seriously, you were warned, average fathers with teenagers. Do not engage your trauma.

ABOUT THE STORY: "Action Bound Hearts Of Flame And Frost" takes place in a modern Earth-like world called Earthen where elemental spirits, angels, and demons exist in secret. Most people don't know these beings walk among them - but Phenics and Yuki are on the front lines of a war between our world and the Abyss. _____ THE MAIN CAST: Phenics Amaterasu (Lead Male - Tsundere Type) He's fiery, stubborn, secretly kind under all the snark, and of course, super bad at expressing his feelings (especially toward a certain icy girl). His powers stem from his Phoenix Spirit, giving him control over blazing flames, crimson wings, and combat-enhancing astral armor. He's also ¼ human, ¼ angel, and ½ Phoenix Elemental Spirit - so yeah, he's complicated. _____ Yuki Yuuki (Lead Female - Kuudere Type) Cool, composed, and deeply emotional beneath the surface. Yuki is Phenics' childhood friend and partner in battle. She doesn't say much, but when she does, it cuts straight to the soul. Her powers are from her Ice Spirit heritage - she's a Yuki Onna (Snow Woman) with ice manipulation, spirit-enhanced martial skills, and killer frost-glare energy. Also ¼ human, ¼ angel, and ½ Ice Elemental Spirit. _____ Kazuya Hayashi (Male - Loyal Best Friend Type) Phenics' other best friend and the "big brother" energy of the group. He doesn't have spirit blood, but he makes up for it with strong spiritual awareness, energy-enhanced equipment, and a grounded sense of calm. He's brave, chill, and maybe too good at keeping secrets. _____ Miko Aihara (Female - Energetic + Spirited Type) The heart of the team. Miko is Kazuya's closest companion and often drags everyone into being a bit more... human. Like Kazuya, she's fully human but spiritually gifted. Her style leans more toward agility and charm in battle, using sacred gear and talismans.

The destroyed Green Planet after the International War has been rebuilt but there are some people who move in the dark with evil intentions, trying to realize the supernatural power that caused the war in the first place. Arya received a mission to go undercover on one of these organizations, relying on her ability and slowly climbed up. By acting like a spoiled child to make them less vigilant, Arya slowly but surely investigated the organization, trying to fulfill the mission given to her. On the third year, she was arranged a partner. But this partner… is a bit special. He’s so capable of making trouble that Arya was annoyed. Just when she wanted to toss him back, he showed to her that he’s also very reliable at other times. Hmm, just be patient then. No matter what, she had to fulfill her mission. Huh? What did you say? You also have a mission? Let me hear it… Seeing that his mission didn’t seem to conflict with her, Arya decided to help the other party and let him help and take care of her too. Having a capable pastry chef… cough… partner is good. The man smiled when he heard Arya accidentally blurted the truth why she allowed him to stay with her. It’s alright, the first step is to conquer the stomach with sweets and the second step is to conquer the heart~. ... “We can live a peaceful life because there are people who carry the burden forward in the darkness.” ...

In the beginning, there was Nothing. Not the emptiness of silence, but a force without concept—a void that devours even thought, memory, and time. From that Nothing, a lone will remained—a survivor from a past that the current cosmos cannot comprehend. His name: Asteru. Neither god nor devil. Not born of the world, but from beyond it. When all else was erased, Asteru stood still… From his own broken soul, he forged a new reality. A single spark ignited the World Tree, the anchor of life. From its branches came Aetheria, the first Arbitrator— And then came Time, Space, Life, Law, Death, and the Gate. Seven great beings. The Arbitrators. Not gods. Not mortals. Astral Beings, who would watch over the worlds. This is not a tale of gods. This is the will of the one above them. This is the story of Asteru— The being of Nothingness, and the true ruler of creation who once was a part of the very creation itself.

I yawned, fighting off sleep as my professor droned on about the three-body problem—even though it was notoriously unsolvable. 'Geez, why do we need to learn this?' I thought, shaking my head. Suddenly, a holographic screen materialized before my eyes, its message slicing through the monotony: "Moonfall Has Begun. Your Class Has Been Assigned.” I glanced around, and saw confused faces all over—everyone staring, just as bewildered as I was. 'Does everyone see this?' I wondered, my heart starting to pound. My screen flickered, then declared in bold: Main Class: Astral Equationist. Before I could process any further, a piercing scream shattered the classroom’s uneasy silence. I barely had time to register the sound as chaos erupted around me. https://discord.gg/FK9GfrSjtb

In a world where celestial magic and abyssal darkness wage an eternal war, a fallen knight and a cursed princess must navigate a fate intertwined by prophecy, betrayal, and the raw power of an ancient evil. Kairen Valehart, once the proud commander of the Astral Knights, was exiled after a devastating betrayal that left his kingdom in ruins. Marked by the Abyss, his body carries the corruption of a force that whispers to him, tempting him toward destruction. Feared as a traitor and hunted as a monster, Kairen roams the world as a man caught between light and darkness, desperately fighting to keep his soul from slipping into the void. Elyndra Vaelith, the last heir of the Valtherian royal bloodline, has spent her life searching for the truth behind an ancient prophecy—one that speaks of a warrior who will either save or doom the world. Her celestial magic grants her visions of a man with crimson eyes standing at the precipice of destiny. When she finally meets Kairen in the cursed Forest of Whispers, she realizes that he is the key to everything. But forces beyond their control are already in motion. The Abyssal Lord Asmodai, ruler of the shadows, seeks to reclaim what was stolen from him—Kairen himself. And as the abyssal corruption within Kairen grows stronger, Elyndra is faced with an impossible choice: save him from his fate… or kill him before he loses himself completely. As ancient secrets unravel, as betrayals cut deeper than swords, and as love and duty collide in the most painful ways, Kairen and Elyndra must forge a path through a world teetering on the edge of ruin. But the question remains—is Kairen truly destined to be the world's savior, or is he the harbinger of its destruction? In a story filled with mythical battles, forbidden magic, heart-wrenching romance, and the eternal struggle between fate and free will, Shadows of the Astral Realm is a tale of warriors and kings, demons and gods, and the question that defines them all: When the abyss stares back… will you resist it, or will you fall?

In today's world, every human being possesses and desires something that can be considered special—even magical—in vast amounts. They race against one another, doing whatever it takes to obtain more and more of it. This special and magical thing is called “money.” In one corner of the world, in a modern city, there are some residents who possess abilities that others do not. They are known as Hellseher or Seers. Their task is to eliminate astral entities that latch onto humans and become parasitic—manifestations born from the humans’ own actions and behaviors. Among them, there is one Hellseher who is different from the rest. Instead of destroying these astral entities, he purifies them—a process called Purificazione. That Hellseher’s name is Enver Eraly.

In a world where Science meets the Arcane, a time where the surreal bridges upon the factual, an Era in which the physical and metaphysical unify against one common threat. This threat can be seen anywhere, from outside the cottage of a man who struggles with his own isolation, shouting "I cannot be taken yet, for hope has not deserted me!!!" or in the tranquil embrace of nature, where a young man lives among the roots and vines thinking "The Mother of Roots will surely save me", only to find themselves vanished anyhow. Whether meek or the pinnacle of excellence all seems to fade when the "Outers" walk the soils. Explore the world of Alter-Grey in all its facets and uncover mysteries beyond comprehension, knowledge so pure that you might as well be fiction in its suffocating truths, sometimes curiosity is not sated only to kill the cat, but instead uses it to unravel everything. So I ask you this, are you curious enough to brave the Outer? Are you strange to the ways of man or are you mundane? either way I suppose it doesn't really matter. Join a select few Astrals on this journey and see how far the strings of fate take you.

Could Shaan save the world from the threat of the darkness creatures? Follow Shaan's journey in exploring his powers to become the strongest Daemonist in the world to save the world from the apocalypse.

What if your greatest weakness became your ultimate power? Simon Reid was an overworked office worker—until life gave him a second chance. Awakening in a parallel world ravaged by monstrous Dreadbeasts and ruled by superpowered Astral Lords, Simon quickly realizes survival isn't guaranteed. In this brutal reality, strength is everything, and only the gifted thrive. But fate isn't done with him yet. During the Astral trials—his one shot at gaining powers—Simon seemingly fails... until he discovers something extraordinary.

With a skill this overpowered, Simon could dominate the world—but only if no one finds out. In a society where the strong rule and the weak are crushed, secrets can be deadly. As he navigates deadly trials, rising corporate empires, and the ever-present threat of Dreadbeasts, Simon must play a dangerous game of power, deception, and survival. In a world where everyone’s fighting to be the strongest, what happens when you can steal their edge? Dive into an action-packed adventure filled with deadly monsters, epic powers, and a hero who's rewriting the rules of the game—one copied ability at a time.

[important message] okay so the novel starts out a bit slow with little to no action scenes and more about providing info on the world and the MC Also,truth is i was confused about what to put as a warning notice or whether to put one at all because although the novel might contain some salty language there's really nothing too extreme. also I'd like to guarantee that there are no smut scenes. there might be some times when it almost happens or it did and I might not just go into it in detail or skip it altogether. plus there might be some times with extreme gore and torture both physical and psychological (mostly psychological) especially considering I want who as far as you know is the MC and most characters surrounding him to be as heartless as possible , and I want it to be clear that the MC is by no means a good person and won't hesitate to do some morally questionable stuff to achieve his goals,although not without reason. one last thing is that at first it might seem like I'm trying to make him powerful from the start for no reason but it's mostly due to specific circumstances. okay bye!

Once every 10,000 years, the heavens open, and the Mortal Realm is cast into turmoil. The Great Reset begins—a cosmic reckoning where empires fall, beasts awaken, and only the strongest carve their names into eternity. For those who survive, the path to the Astral Realm and the right to claim divinity awaits. Raikai, a warrior forged in storms, wields the power of the Celestial Iron Body Cultivation, his flesh tempered into living steel. His Death Arms—twin scythes bound by chains—dance like a mythological dragon, crackling with lightning, capturing and tearing apart those who stand in his way. Beside him stands Shinryu, swift and precise, blessed by the Celestial Tiger. His Death Arms, a pair of white leather gloves with retractable claws, strike with divine speed—every slash a whisper of the heavens’ fury. Together, they ascend the path of blood and power, bound by brotherhood yet tested by fate. Their bond is their greatest strength, but in a world where the Death Arms grow with their wielders—feeding on their victories and failures—power often demands a terrible price. As the 10,000-year Reset begins, ancient titans stir, forgotten sects rise from the shadows, and primordial beasts long thought extinct awaken. The heavens will bear witness as Raikai and Shinryu defy the gods—or die trying. In an age where flesh is reforged into iron and weapons evolve alongside the soul—two brothers will challenge destiny itself!

In the year 2275, Arthur Marlowe—a war-scarred military strategist turned anonymous top-tier gamer known only as “Zenith”—finds unexpected purpose in a quiet café, a rising stream career, and the woman who helped him find peace again. But just as life gives him something real to live for, a catastrophic overload during a record-breaking stream ends everything in fire… and begins something far greater. Reborn across the stars in a distant galaxy known as Aetherion, Arthur awakens as a child in a universe once ruled by a vanished god-tier civilization. With the name Arthur Ragnar along with his memories intact, he now lives within the very world that made him a legend in his past life: the universe of Astral Genesis—a vast, open expanse teeming with elemental powers, soul-forged martial arts, ancient technologies, and monstrous threats from collapsing dimensions. As Arthur grows, he uncovers truths buried in the ruins of the lost Astral Civilization, unlocks forbidden cultivation techniques, and builds a new identity in a galaxy defined by its struggle between tradition and evolution. With soul-bound battleships, mysterious relics, and the looming threat of void invasions, Arthur must decide: will he live quietly in this new life—or rise to command the future of an entire civilization? A tale of second chances, galactic exploration, epic warfare, and the quiet strength of those who refuse to stay forgotten.
