‘I am an Eldritch entity?’ Eryndor found himself questioning his existence after an accident which tested the limits of human endurance. His consciousness burst open, expanding and covering the entirety of the Earth before receding abruptly. Subconscious use of Telekinesis controlled the stones to protect him as the overload of mind reading the entirety of Earth burdened his mind. One thing was for sure, Eldritch entities were one of the few Anomalies which had characteristics such as immense consciousness, Mind Reading, and Telekinesis. Eldritch Entities were categorized as the strongest beings of the Main Universe. The treasure meant to seal his powers eventually dissolved, merging with his uncontrollable consciousness to form a Mind Palace. This world had Anomalies all along, with secret organizations placed everywhere to combat them. Was he one of the Anomalies sealed by them in the past? ***** As soon as the cosmic limit increased from 0 to 1 - Qi, Mana, Spiritual Energy and Internal Energy surged into the Universe. It ushered into the Era of Superpowers along with the Manifestation of Anomalies. Before they could deal with the changes, 8 Outer Domains overlapped with the Universe simultaneously. The Cultivation World, The Magic World, The Mentalist World, The Martial Arts World, The Cyborg World, The Beast Taming World, The Demon World, The Buddhist World. The Outer Domains couldn’t invade the Earth due to the Cosmic Limit, but they stationed an advanced front on different places of Earth, exploiting resources and the original inhabitants, bringing about a fierce retaliation. Humanity formed the United Federation, designed to combat against the rising threat of Anomalies and the invaders of Outer Domains. ****** 200 years later - The Cosmic Limit increased again, going from 1 to 2, along with the self-hypnotistic seal of an Anomaly breaking apart. What is in store for the Universe? ***** My inspiration for this work comes from the SCP universe, in which I added a bit of my creativity to make the power system and world building logical and consistent. The Synopsis, Prologue and First chapter go hand in hand. I urge you to read at least the prologue before deciding. Reading the first chapter too? I am sure you’re already hooked or will soon be hooked. Updating 2 chapters per day/14 per week, planning to go 3 per day/21 per week if I get plenty of readers. Maybe more if I hit exceptional rankings or great milestones.

[You have inherited The Class Huntsman Of Death.] Deathborne. An RPG that I couldn’t stop playing in my free time.  A game that hooked me to the core. A game that I was determined to finish and achieve the true happy ending by hook or crook. Why? Because no matter what choices I made, no matter how much I tried, it always ended with a bad ending. Not the bad ending in the traditional sense where the world comes to an end, but something worse. The protagonist would win, yes, but only at the unacceptable cost—sacrifices so immense that they left humanity and the world broken. And honestly? I didn't like it. Would you enjoy a movie, novel, or game that ends with only the protagonist surviving? Neither could I. That's why I tried my hardest and kept trying. Alas, despite all my efforts, I have yet to reach the true end but… Until today… It started just like any normal day for me. I returned home, greeted my mother, had my lunch, and was about to start yet another grind. Just as I was about to start, my screen flashed with a blood-red message: [Congratulations, player Mr. Per781, for clearing all hidden conditions. You are now eligible to access the hidden route, as deemed by the game developer.]  [Do you want to proceed?]  [Yes] [No]  Before I could even think about my answer, a hand emerged from the screen and pulled me into the game. And when I regained consciousness, I wasn't myself anymore.  I was in the body of a side character as Lukas Star, one of the weakest and nearly forgotten Hunter of the Archeon Academy.

Strange, nightmarish creatures called Aberrations are drawn to its energy, and Noah soon finds himself thrust into a hidden world where danger lurks at every turn. When a shadowy organization known as the Department of Paranormal Regulation (DPR) takes notice of his potential, Noah must decide whether to work with them or face this dark world alone. Armed with nothing but his grit, a mysterious ally with her own agenda, and a system that rewards him for grinding his way forward, Noah is about to embark on a journey of growth, survival, and secrets. What lies at the end of the path? Power? Glory? Or something far darker? If you're a fan of progression-based stories, gritty underdog heroes, and thrilling twists, Grind to Glory will keep you hooked from the first chapter to the last.
