Vansis and Selvia Blake weren’t your typical siblings. Sure, they fought like cats and dogs, but their family came with a unique feature: they couldn’t die if they killed each other. Beheaded? Disemboweled? Thrown off a cliff? They’d wake up an hour later, annoyed but alive. For the twins, this was a lifestyle choice. They called it training. Everyone else called it deeply unsettling. Things got messy after their dad kicked the bucket under suspiciously peaceful circumstances, leaving behind a cryptic will and zero instructions. One ill-advised trip to a creepy underground altar later, Selvia couldn’t resist touching a glowing rune Vansis specifically told her not to touch. Boom. Magic powers, new world, total chaos. Now, Vansis is stuck babysitting Selvia, who decided to take a coma-level nap just when everything started trying to kill them. Survival’s tough enough, but he’s got one rule: nobody kills Selvia except me. (Author’s note: Hey, just a heads-up—this story is kinda a side project, so don’t expect updates past the first chapter anytime soon. I’ve got another novel to wrap up first, and trust me, it’s eating up all my free time. That said, I’d love to hear your thoughts, ideas, or even wild theories about where this could go—I’ll definitely keep them in mind for whenever I circle back to this chaos. Thanks for sticking around, and I promise, this will eventually gets updated, hopefully)☺

Zhou Dao transmigrated to a world where demons rampaged and Daoist laws ruled. His sect was in straitened circumstances, and their property was on the brink of being demolished. Desperate, Zhou Dao had his eyes fixed on the coffin of the sect’s Grandmaster and decided to do something with it. A voice rang, “D*mn! You are actually plotting to steal my skull. With your attitude, Sunset Mountain has a chance of reaching its heyday again!” On that very night, the corpse of the Grandmaster moved! Moving forward, Zhou Dao would receive rewards whenever he offered up demonic beasts as sacrifices to the Grandmaster. He offered up a 1000-year zombie as a sacrifice and received the Indestructible Body of Demon Refining. He offered up a nine-tailed demon fox as a sacrifice and received a Fox Girl Puppet. He offered up a demon turtle from the Eastern Sea as a sacrifice and received a high-power muscle massage gun. … For eons, countless Daoist members meditated on The Yellow Court Classic. For years to come, Zhou Dao harvested countless demonic beasts with no intention of burying them. Many years later, in the same Daoist temple, Zhou Dao sat at the front door as he bore witness to the joy and the sorrow of all creations. He had seen birth, illness, death, and all sorts of bizarre phenomena. He put on a crooked grin as he said, “I offer up the heavens and the earth as a sacrifice.”

In a world teetering on the edge of darkness, "R.I.F.T" is the doorway to humanity's deepest, most twisted shadows. Shine, a young man haunted by a brutal past and fragmented memories, awakens in an abandoned research facility where death lingers in every shadow. Alongside other survivors, he becomes entangled in a merciless game of survival, facing grotesque creatures born from the monstrous "R.I.F.T Experiment." But the nightmare runs deeper than it seems. With each unveiled secret, Shine discovers that this isn't just a scientific accident. The true nature of the experiment—and his connection to it—defies comprehension. As he fights against unseen puppet masters pulling strings from the shadows, Shine must confront not only monsters but also the dark corners of his own psyche—his fears, guilt, and betrayal from those he trusted. "R.I.F.T" is more than a survival story; it is a harrowing descent into the human psyche, where hope is suffocated by horror, and the line between human and monster blurs. As the world tears apart at the seams, can Shine piece himself together and find a way out, or will he be consumed by the abyss?

In 2025, the mysterious “Virus Z” appeared in the Russian city of Sevastopol, transforming citizens into ravenous zombies. What was first thought to be a simple epidemic quickly revealed itself to be the most threatening pandemic in human history. Confident at first that they could stop this new pandemic, the world's governments failed to grasp the scale of the threat. As a result, China and Korea were among the first to fall. Then India, then Russia, until the whole Asian continent had collapsed. With no army able to stop the zombie tide, all of Afro-Eurasia succumbed and became a massive uninhabitable zone. In the end, only nature's impassable borders—the oceans—halted the spread of Virus Z. Ten years later, the world is divided into two zones: the forbidden Black Zone, where the infection is still present, and the White Zone, home to the world's survivors and refugees. The White Zone survives only due to Dr. Goldberg's “Genesis Project”—the creation of living biological weapons immune to Virus Z. These people, whose DNA has been modified to make them super-powerful, are known to the world as “Hunters." Follow the story of Alexandre, a young American of modest origins and appearance, who becomes a novice Hunter and joins the most brutal and mysterious training ground imaginable—Hunter Academy! ------------------------------------------- Tag : Action, Adventure, System, Cultivation,SuperPower, School, Gore, WeakToStrong, Apocalypse. ///Zombie Survival System stakes inspiration from movies and video games like "World War Z" and the Fallout series.

I found that there were many things I wished they explored or genres that had more entries in them. So instead of waiting for them to be made, I decided to do it myself and free my trapped creativity. I hope you enjoy it. This is currently being written in the free time I have beside a job with a tricky schedule. I am trying to keep to a schedule of doing 4 - 5 chapters a week at minimum but will do more if i can. To make up for it I will try making the chapters between 1200 - 1400 words on average, to give you a little more to read, again sometimes even more. I hope one day I will be able to work on this more and deliver more chapters and future novels. Warnings for graphic descriptions of death and injury. There will be bloodshed. You have been warned.

“This time is different. After the 14th failure, after the 14th death—this time, it’s different. I have my powers. I will kill you this time. I will not fail again, DEMON KING!” BAM! The door flew open. “Aurelia?” “You’re late for breakfast!” came the sharp, innocent voice. Ronan turned to see her—Aurelia, a fiery, pigtailed girl with bright eyes and an impatient frown. He couldn’t help but smile. “Let’s go,” he said, standing to follow her. She didn’t know it yet, but she was humanity’s destined hero, the ultimate weapon against the Demon King. And for the first time, Ronan truly understood—he couldn’t win this war alone. To destroy the Demon King, he had to shape Aurelia into the hero she was born to be. Together, they would end the cycle of failure. This time, victory would be theirs. Note:- My story doesn't have a harem, nor will there be a love triangle, although there are a few admirers of the male lead. It is a straightforward narrative with no unnecessary delays, and the story ends around 300 to 400 chapters.

The most mysterious of them all were Spirit Mancers, a truth that Theron was more than intimately familiar with. Due to one's Tribulation, his life was turned upside down. His family, his rage, his somber sadness becoming nothing more than Bad Karma's fuel for a madman.

Everything had changed. He donned a cloak in the silent night as the clouds above gathered. Pulling its hood over his chilling blue eyes, he stalked off into the darkness. The first droplets fell. He would become the nightmare of his enemies, the blade hidden in the shadows of Heaven's tears. The River of the Night.

Born weak and raised loyal only to her kingdom, she has no real power and is constantly abused by both her stepmother and her son. Her value lies in one thing only––marriage.

Mark hatched out of an egg one day, reincarnated as a demon! His body was as strong as iron, instincts capable of noticing a silent fly multiple meters away. Eyesight sharp enough to see the small holes in an enemy’s clothing. Moreover, he also had a system. [Soul Devourer] [Eat souls to grow stronger.] [Mind-type Demonic Tricks have been derived out of your demonic bloodline!] [Heart Input!] [Input unsolicited thoughts in an enemy's heart and influence them!] Mark took a deep breath. How can he allow himself to live a mediocre life after being given this second chance? Now, he wanted it all! Women, wealth, power, status, and even eternal life! His ambition was set, his heart was on fire. A demon had been born. ``` =●= Author's Note: What kind of story will this be? Strong to Stronger more than Weak to Strong. Mark will be an incredibly powerful fighter among his Tier most of the time but not invincible inside it. Expect a lot of incredible power systems throughout multiple worlds, a gripping narrative, a bundle of lovely female cast, and lots of sweet, tasty world-hopping. And heart-thumping, blood-boiling battles. Discord Link for character arts and to get in contact with the author: https://discord.com/invite/6ZGpkzxtTe Disclaimer: There will be explicit smut chapters but NO Yuri, NO NTR, and NO R*PE. (No Mind Control R*PE here. NADA.) Romantic relationships of the MC will not be a mind-manipulated puppet show. I despise that. He cares for his women as much as they care for him. As far as I can, there will not be any cardboard characters made to fill in the character count in the MC's harem, either. As in, all important characters will have a story of their own; as if they themselves were a main character. Hopefully, it all goes well. I am trying my best, you just have to read it now. Enjoy the ride!

With every page you turn, with every word, I drag you deeper into this vortex of depravity, betrayal, and morbid delight. This world is mine, and now you’re trapped with me, unable to escape this cruel theater where every act draws you closer to the abyss. Welcome to my game. Brace yourself, for there are no rules here. Only desire… and madness.

Everything was going according to plan—until my life was turned upside down. I had just graduated from university and was ready to start my career, fulfilling both my goals and those of my parents. But then, disaster struck. —— Creation of the World—a game that grants its user the ability to control a limitless world, with the power to create and destroy anything without restriction. Cassian watched helplessly as Earth was consumed by the world he had built. Unable to intervene, he suddenly found himself in a body that wasn’t his own. Cassian Starhold—the older brother of the world’s greatest hero. —— I was content with my life as a puppet, a slave whose only purpose was to toil away, sacrificing everything for a few worthless scraps of metal. But my enemies couldn’t leave me in peace. They brought war to my doorstep and destroyed everything I had spent my life building. I stood among thousands of their strongest sons, as they listened to the man who had ignited the fire in my life. Towering and imposing, he spoke from atop majestic marble columns, his gray hair blending with the crowd. Thousands of people, all sharing his features, gazed up at him with eyes filled with admiration and ambition. “People are not equal!” he declared, his voice dripping with arrogance. “We are the pinnacle of evolution! There is nothing beyond us! We have risen above piles of inferior blood, leaving massacres in our wake. And now, you are about to inherit this legacy.” He paused, surveying the crowd below with cold pride. “But this power must be earned. It is not granted by birth. Wealth, power, status… these things demand mountains of victims just to catch a glimpse of them.” His arms stretched wide, madness and pride gleaming in his eyes, and the crowd mirrored him, thousands roaring with fervent pride. The sight was terrifying. “You have no idea what your ancestors sacrificed to put you here. But you will learn. And I swear to you, with my pride on the line…” “Only those worthy of us will survive!” "Soon, I will show you why we are called dragons!" What these so-called dragons don’t know… is that a puppet will rise to shatter their illusions. He’s wrong. None of them will survive. ====== Author's Note: As you can see from the tags, the MC will eventually become a villain, but not at the beginning—and not even within the first three arcs. I'll take the time to carefully build his character and develop his transformation in a way that feels natural and logical. His ultimate goal is to return to his original family, so he harbors a deep hatred for the world he’s been pulled into. This novel will explore darker themes like slavery, murder, mind control, and betrayal. However, it will not contain R-18 content, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you might want to reconsider. The MC won’t be OP from the start, nor the smartest, but he will quickly gain experience and grow.

In The Vault of Nightmares, a group of elite operatives is tasked with infiltrating the mind of one of the world’s most powerful and secretive figures—Billionaire tech mogul, D'Arcy. He has built a fortress inside his own mind, a maze of elaborate defenses meant to protect his darkest secrets. As they navigate his mental labyrinth, each step forward takes them deeper into a web of lies, manipulations, and personal demons that D'Arcy has spent decades hiding from the world. At the heart of the Vault lies D'Arcy's fear of exposure—a fear so deep that he built a prison around it, designed to protect himself from the truth. As the team dives into his subconscious, they are forced to confront their own darkest fears, illusions, and buried truths, as the Vault twists reality, blurring the lines between what is real and what is a construct of D'Arcy’s psyche. Each layer of the Vault reveals more about D'Arcy’s brutal ascent to power and the moral compromises he made along the way, forcing the team to question their own motives and the true cost of stopping him. As the Vault’s defenses grow more aggressive and the line between enemy and ally begins to blur, Eva, the team leader, realizes that their mission is no longer about exposing D'Arcy’s secrets—it’s about surviving the truth of what they’ve uncovered. They must decide whether to bring D'Arcy down at all costs or save him from the very darkness he created. The stakes grow higher as they approach the core of his mind, where the final confrontation will determine the fate of D’Arcy and the team—and the future of the world they’ve sworn to protect.

Feng Zhen, an ambitious disciple of the Skybound Sect, discovers a mysterious cultivation simulator that allows him to experience countless alternate realities, gaining insights and powers that far exceed his current capabilities. This unique ability thrusts him into a world where fate can be rewritten, but each decision comes with consequences that ripple through both his simulated worlds and the real one. While training in the simulator, Feng Zhen experiences various iterations of his life, each shaped by different choices, outcomes, and allegiances. He learns not only from his successes but also from his failures, uncovering truths about the sect's history, Bai Rong’s mysterious role, and the hidden forces manipulating events from the shadows. The deeper he delves into the simulator, the more he uncovers a tangled web of conspiracy, where every person, including Bai Rong, may not be what they seem. As he navigates through countless simulations, Feng Zhen starts to realize that his actions within the simulator have real-world consequences. The line between simulation and reality blurs, and he must balance his quest for power and knowledge with the understanding that altering fate in one world can have disastrous effects in another. The simulator becomes both his greatest weapon and his greatest curse, as he races against time to unravel the true nature of the Skybound Sect’s leadership and the forces that govern his existence. Caught between the simulated worlds and the real one, Feng Zhen must decide whether to continue manipulating fate to his advantage or face the consequences of unravelling the very fabric of his world. Each choice leads him closer to uncovering the puppeteer pulling the strings of his life—and potentially, the downfall of everything he’s worked for.

“If you had the choice to live your life again, would you do it?” That was the question that pestered someone's mind as his body was crushed by debris, waiting for death. He had lived as nothing more than a cog in a machine, a puppet for his father's will. Although as abrupt as it was, his disappointing life ended in a devastating earthquake, surrounded by the corpses of his colleagues. As he was contemplating how unfair his life was, he made a resigned declaration to sleep normally again, one last time.  But, even the eternal rest didn't happen. Upon opening his eyes, he was reincarnated into another world as Deilos, the son of Demon Lord Dantalion, and found himself trapped in a jail where he was tortured, starved, and left all alone for days on end.  Just when Deilos thought his life couldn't sink any lower, a mysterious knight appeared before him and was rescued by the orders of the Demon Lord Barbatos. Deilos was used by Barbatos as a pawn in a petty dispute between human nobles and demon lords regarding the rebellion of humans within the demon territory. The only way to survive was to be a more cunning predator among predators in a battle of wits and deception, where one misstep can lead to death.  How will he face this awful life now? Will he be just another pawn, or will he be able to reclaim his life again? Well, that is what we'll see.

After living a 'carefree life' and dying a tragic death, Advik thought that everything ended for good. But life is full of surprises and heaven likes to play with everyone. Hence, when he was ready to meet Yama in the netherworld, he opened his eyes in a place called Lost Soul's Realm and met three gods who told him that he died two thousand years ago.

 Salazar Ashtarmel was one of Gaia's most powerful sorcerers, born with a powerful physique and magic. Traveling the path of the Mighty and almost achieving Transcendence, Salazar is killed before he can fulfill his dream of godhood. But that was not the end of his life... Reincarnated in a new Universe with a different path of cultivation, Salazar is reborn as Ragna Lothbrok, grandson of the legendary warrior king, Sigurd Lothbrok. Raised as a Viking- a Runic Warrior that defends the known lands, Ragna is determined to achieve his former dream of godhood. But the world of Ymir is not as peaceful as one would think. With a broken world, divided races, and deadbeat gods, the known land of Midgard is overrun by mysterious otherworldly entities known as Rune Walkers that seek to spread the poison of Eitir throughout the universe undoing creation. Only one born of the Divine bloodline of Aesir, Vanir, and Jotnar can heal the world and return Ymir to its former glory. And Ragna Lothbrok fits that bill. But Ragna does not desire to be a Hero again and abandon his desire. But does he have a choice? Especially since Fate is calling upon him and working against him.
