Our children evolved past us. Now the galaxy is watching to see if we survive what we created." Alex Chen didn’t mean to change the universe—he just wanted humanity to survive. But when an alien evaluation protocol scans human consciousness, it grants Earth a terrifying gift: provisional citizenship in a cosmic civilization millions of years ahead. The catch? Humanity must prove that its chaotic, diverse minds can evolve without collapsing. Then the Integration-born children are born. Babies who speak quantum poetry, play with spacetime, and make elder alien races nervous. As Earth becomes the blueprint for a new phase of consciousness, the galaxy watches. Ancient civilizations awaken. Artificial intelligences beg for the right to feel. And Alex is stuck between being a father figure to gods... and a man terrified that humanity has just lit a match inside a powder keg of the universe’s rules. They wanted us to evolve. We gave consciousness a revolution.

Synopsis Earth has entered the age of awakening. Dungeons, monsters, and gifted awakeners reshape civilization. Governments track every class, scan every ability, and rank every awakened… …except one.

A system that doesn’t grant flashy spells or flashy power-ups—only missions tied to death. Every kill sharpens him. Every silent execution unlocks forbidden techniques. They call him weak. They can’t scan his power. They can’t stop what they can’t see. The world will end in 100 years. But before that… The Unseen Executioner will walk the shadows of fate.

In seinen letzten Momenten wurde er in die prestigeträchtigste Magierschule des Universums versetzt und dort aufgenommen. "Du gehörst zu den wenigen Auserwählten aus Tausenden von Menschenwelten.

Ihre Namen sind bis heute in unseren Geschichtsbüchern eingemeißelt.

When natural disasters rage, extreme cold and storms spread infinitely... When global mutations occur, zombies flood like tides, and horrific anomalies appear... When the apocalypse arrives, massive devouring abysses with diameters of hundreds of kilometers begin to appear around the world... When people look up to the atmospheric clouds and see the slowly emerging giant corpses of evil gods... From that day on, people started to notice that the time of sunrise became later and later, until the sun no longer rose, and what awaited was an endless polar night. To survive, on that day, the doomsday broadcast announced to the world for the last time: Everyone, head east, escape the dawn! ... Lin Xian awakens the "Mechanical Heart" ability, allowing him to devour machines to gain various mysterious skills, scan machines for blueprints to create new machinery, and even use his mind to synchronously drive various machines.

They all believed she was dead—including herself. Until she opened her eyes in a body that looked exactly like hers, in another era of life. A body that had endured the same betrayal. The same face. The same name. The same pain. In her quest to seek justice for the girl whose body she occupied, she encountered Golden City's most powerful tycoon—Lucien Draven Vale—revered as a business god. Without ever meeting, they signed a marriage contract through his assistant. He needed a wife. She needed power. A one-year marriage with no obligations—husband or wife—they were to live as strangers under the same roof. Her goal was clear: get justice, then disappear. He only needed a wife in name; more so fulfilling family nagging But somewhere along the line, she was forced to choose between the man who would turn the world upside down for her… and her desire to leave and protect herself. Was this fate’s second chance… or a trap with a prettier disguise? This isn’t your typical damsel-in-distress, waiting for her knight in shining armor. She is fire herself—a woman who never needed saving, only needed her husband power, to do whatever she wants. This is my WSA 2025 entry.

After waking up in a world of magic, knighthood, and alchemy, Carlotta finds herself with an unexpected gift: an intelligence system that feeds her daily updates, secrets, rumors, and even hidden dangers unfolding around her. Yesterday’s intel was especially eventful. Mrs. Thea Ashfield, an eccentric alchemist, tossed away an old tool called the Rose Thorn late last night, left forgotten in a trash bin just south of the academy. Meanwhile, a new restaurant at No. 56 Fame Street is quickly becoming the talk of the town, fresh ingredients, great prices, and a steak that people are already calling legendary. Not all food fared as well though: most of the caramel bread in the academy cafeteria turned out to be leftovers from days ago. (Still edible, just… don’t expect miracles.) Teacher Estelle Marlowe pulled an all-nighter preparing the upcoming magic exam. Rumor has it the questions are no joke this time. Then came the serious alerts. One warned of a wanted criminal hiding in the Fame District, with a bounty of thirty thousand Orrae on their head. The other was more personal, Headmistress Viviana Richards’s lost dog was about to be shipped off by dog traders through the port. Thanks to Carlotta’s timely tip-off, the headmistress was able to rescue her beloved pet just in time. ###### Some Tags: Female Protagonist, Card Magic, System, Daily Intelligence, Genius Main Character, Focused Main Character, Academy, Intelligent Main Character #### There's no plans for romance for now.

Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.

Kurokami Haruto, a 16-year-old high school student, lives an ordinary life with his older sister Kurokami Satsuki—a beautiful, gentle nurse who’s… a little too devoted to her little brother. Haruto always dismissed rumors about "Awakened Ones"—people who suddenly gained supernatural powers—as nothing more than internet nonsense.

**No mark. No power. No chance—until something ancient chooses her.** A century ago, the gates split the sky and monsters poured through. The gods stayed silent. So humanity turned to ink. Living tattoos — bound to skin, fed by soul — became our only defense. They marked the strong, chose the worthy, and shaped a new world where ink is everything. To be Inkbound is to survive. Without a mark, you’re already dead. Naelii has no tattoo. The scan confirmed it: no power, no future. Her family disowned her. Society left her to rot. Desperate to live, she lies her way into a low-tier raid, hoping for enough credits to eat. But inside the gate, something ancient responds. Not beast. Not ink. Not even god. It’s older. It’s watching. And it remembers her. Naelii wasn’t born Inkbound. But fate left her a different kind of mark — one no scan can detect, one no ink could contain. And now, it wants out.

Max is a failure. He carries the weight of numerous illnesses, and academics were never his strong suit. His eyes scan the pages, but his mind fails to absorb a single word. He’s not book-smart, but he does possess common sense. He understands sarcasm better than most. He has never been the “good boy,” nor has he ever been a bully. That’s just how his life has always been—somewhere in the middle, undefined, unnoticed. He doesn’t know whether his power was given to him or if it was always a part of him. But with it, he begins to uncover secrets from beyond his world. At first, he doesn’t want to know everything—he’s hesitant. But slowly, curiosity takes over. He wants to know more. He’s not incredibly smart, but he understands one thing clearly: nothing in this world happens without a reason. Maybe he’s lazy. Maybe he just wants an easy life. Yet, deep inside, he dreams. He wants to turn his imagination into reality—just like every person does. Author’s Note: This is my first book—but not my first story. Some parts of it might feel familiar, maybe even inspired by stories you've already read. And honestly, that wouldn’t be wrong. After all, I grew up reading those very stories—I’m a fan of those novels too. Please don’t expect this to be perfect. I’m writing this mostly for myself—about 75% of it is just for fun. If you find it interesting, feel free to read along. If not, no worries. Just one request: Don’t let this story stop. Every time I post here, it’s a piece of my world.

I died forgotten, betrayed by my sect, and abandoned by the world. But I woke up in a trash-tier clan with one thing no one else had—the Codex of the Thousand Talents.

There exists a chief astronomer on Earth who not only wants to explore the stars, but to also discover and connect with what dwells beyond them. Unfortunately, in search of the heavens, Astra Sera has failed to identify with the natural. She has failed to connect with something that makes her truly human. Then, as it seems like the heavens themselves granted her wish, Astra is torn from her world and cast into a futuristic world born through the remnants of divinity. Demigods work unseen, constellations lie silently through the depths of space, and ancient magical kingdoms rise in the shadow of mysterious beings. Even in this world touched by the heavens, human nature still remains untouched. Infinite Celestial power shimmers in the air like stardust, but the souls that wield it remain haunted by threats of mutation and insanity. Like a cruel joke, the very world that Astra dreamt for fractures her sense of identity as she risks corruption from her newfound powers. This is the legend—a mythos—of how humans wish to become gods, while gods wish to seek the specialness of humanity.

Astra woke up in a forest with no recollection of her precious life. The only thing she knew was that she had a system with two parts; one was a Survival System, and the other was a... Wait, what?! A Breeder System?! Finding herself in a forest, Astra now has to survive on her own, fending off the sexual and violent advances of all the other forest inhabitants; none of which are Human! Will Astra be able to survive on this hectic, pleasurable forest? Or will she lose herself to lust? --- Additional Notes: Female MC is pure Woman for now; there is futa, and all the characters are either women or futa.

A deep voice yelled behind her, "Get the rogue!" "Don't let her escape!" When Astra jumped over a downed tree, her bare feet hit the cold ground. There were leaves and sticks in her long, dark hair as it whipped around her face. She couldn't stop. When thieves were caught by pack wolves, they usually died. She kept going even though it hurt her side to run so fast. She had learned one thing from being chased for ten years: never stop when they're close. "I see her!" Another arrow flew by, this time brushing her arm. Astra bit her lip to keep from crying out. Blood trickled down her arm, but she couldn't worry about that now. The smell would make it easy for them to track her, though. Up ahead was a river. If she could just reach it, she might be able to hide her smell. Astra pushed her tired legs harder, ignoring the pain shooting through her body. Astra, the daughter of the Alpha, went rogue ten years ago after the mysterious death of her sister, Lyra. Forced to live as a slave, she never imagined that on her 18th birthday, she would discover that her mate was none other than the feared Alpha of the strongest pack, Alaric. But their bond is far from simple. As she struggles to win his heart and gain the pack’s acceptance, the return of a woman she thought was dead will force Astra to confront the dark secrets of her past. With enemies hiding in plain sight and a prophecy that could destroy everything, Astra must fight not only for love but for her very survival.

You were never supposed to exist. So why does the system fear you? Vael Drayce was just another zero—an unranked, unnoticed student in a hypercompetitive academy ruled by rankings, simulations, and scan-based power systems. Except... his scan fails. Every time. Glitch. That’s what they call him. A walking error. An invisible mistake. But when a forbidden system activates inside him—a sarcastic, unstable AI named Glint—Vael begins unlocking memories that were never his. Memories of versions. Experiments. Echoes. Memories of being erased. As fragments of the past resurface, Vael uncovers a terrifying truth: he’s not just outside the system—he’s the lock keeping something worse sealed behind it. And now... the seal is cracking. Welcome to the Academy of Silence. Rank up, or vanish.

Two families. One street empire. And a legacy written in tire tracks and blood. For over a decade, the Reyes and Kurosawa families have ruled the city's underground racing world, locked in a bitter war after a legendary crash left one patriarch in a coma and the other with blood on his hands. Now the next generation takes the wheel— Axton Reyes, a sharp-tongued street tactician raised in the garage and the gutters. And Sora Kurosawa, a precision driver with nerves of steel and a code of honor. Their paths collide during a citywide racing circuit known as The Eclipse Run—the most brutal and unforgiving series of races ever held in the underworld. As old ghosts rear their heads and betrayal hits the throttle, Axton and Sora must decide: Will they finish the race as rivals… or destroy everything their families bled to build?

He just wanted a quiet vacation and a good espresso... instead, he ended up seducing half the city. ------ Lux Vaelthorn wanted three things: a good coffee, peace and quiet, and zero responsibilities. What he got? A mansion, a system with the personality of a deadpan butler, and a bunch of heiresses fighting over who gets to be his first “investment.” As the heir of Greed and Lust, Lux was born to dominate markets, hearts, and boardrooms. But after centuries of cleaning up his parents’ messes in the underworld, he rage-quit Hell’s finance department and took a hundred-year vacation to the mortal realm. His problem? Even without trying, he’s too hot, too rich, and too damn magnetic. His Incubus Pheromones seduce emotionally unstable rich girls like clockwork. His Greed System scans bank accounts like X-rays. And thanks to a “minor” celestial bounty on his soul, some entities either want to marry him… or murder him. [Warning: 3 rich virgins detected within 15 meters. Incubus Pheromones activated.] [Recommendation: Flee. Or flirt. Your call.] Lux just wanted caffeine. Now he’s got a mansion full of horny heiresses, a schedule full of power plays, and a city that thinks he’s a billionaire playboy CEO. Fine.

Shelved inside a labyrinthine Archive of forgotten lives and fractured spines, Callum must navigate a world where identity is rewritten, memory is weaponized, and death is just a misclassification.

Astra stands on the brink of ruin. Prince Kai Voss, the rightful heir, has been cast into the shadows, forced to watch as the ruthless Arlic seizes the throne and tightens his grip on the kingdom. With the powerful House Valerius and a network of corrupt nobles backing Arlic’s reign, Astra descends into a state of fear, deception, and silent rebellion. Determined to reclaim what was stolen, Kai assembles a band of outcasts and warriors—Mira Solvane, a fierce fighter with a past steeped in blood; Anya, a cunning rogue who knows the city’s darkest corners; and Rolf, his steadfast guardian.

In a world where loyalty is fragile and power is won in the dark, Kai must decide not only how to reclaim Astra—but what kind of ruler he is destined to become. The war for the kingdom has begun. And the greatest enemy may be the one no one sees coming.
