Viking Ranks

In a world where heroes are the last line of defence against threats, 17-year-old Zane Skylark, was the most powerful of them all—a symbol of strength and justice. Known as the "Rank-1 Hero, [Hope]" Zane's every move was watched by the masses, and his victories were legendary. But during a mission, Zane is believed to have died, only to survive due to an unknown skill—[Immortality]. For 60 long days, Zane's body remains in stasis, as the [Hero Association] declares him dead and appoints a new hero who can mimic Zane’s strength under his hero name [Hope]. "After everything I did for them." When Zane finally resurrected, he finds himself dangled between his past as a 'Rank-1 Hero' and his desire to live a normal life. "It's been almost 3 years... " "Maybe I should return home." Choosing to distance himself from the [Hero Association], he decided to return to his hometown, hoping to bury his past and lead a peaceful existence. "And if the world needs me—then someone else had to take that responsibility." But... can a hero truly abandon their destiny? Or will new challenges and tragedies force Zane to confront his past self and the responsibilities he has left behind? :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: – 1 ch each day – 1500+ words / ch

human nature is something that can't be avoided, their thirst for power often driving them into madness even diving into the unknown, putting leashes on beasts that were never meant to be tamed in the sake of power. Samurai traveled far and wide in search of a demon blade, in hopes to rise the ranks and become the true emperor of Japan

"Yawn…" At the mouth of a massive cave high above the world, a giant beast stood, its sharp eyes scanning the land below. The white fur covering its massive frame shimmered, turning orange in the glow of the setting sun. "System, you owe me," the beast muttered lazily, letting out another deep yawn. (Host should be grateful for the system. This system will make you the strongest being in this world—and beyond.) "Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before. But why couldn't I reincarnate as a human or, I don't know, a god? No, I get stuck as a beast. And not just any beast—the most wanted beast in the entire world," the creature grumbled, his tone dripping with annoyance. (But host, you are an SSS-ranked beast.) "Yeah, and what's that supposed to mean? System, I've been attacked forty times today. Forty! And I was just born this morning," he snapped, his tail lashing as his dark blue eyes glared out into the horizon. (…) "Oh, now you're quiet. Fine. Then answer me this—where are my parents? You know, the ones who should be raising me or at least teaching me how not to die?" (Erm… yes, host. Your parents… left you to fend for yourself.) "Great. Just great. That does it—I'd really appreciate it if I could go back to Earth," he growled, turning around and trudging back into the cave, his heavy footsteps echoing through the stone walls. This beast wasn't just rare; it was legendary. A creature straight out of myths and stories. Anyone who could capture it would instantly become the strongest tamer alive. But it wasn't just the fame or power that made this beast special. Its massive, wolf-like body was covered in sleek white fur . Its eyes—dark blue with black edging—gave it a fierce, almost otherworldly presence. The beauty and charm that came with owning this beast were part of its allure. The cave itself was no ordinary hiding place. Perched thousands of meters in the sky, it was practically unreachable. Yet, humans would still risk life and limb to climb the cliff, all for a shot at taming the beast. Inside, the walls were lined with glowing red insects, casting an eerie light, while smooth, white stones radiated a calm, almost soothing energy. "I was living the dream," the beast muttered, lying down on the cool floor. "Just a lazy dude heading out to buy the newest game when—bam—Truck-kun hit me. And now, here I am, stuck in this godforsaken cave, being hunted every hour of the day." The memory made him growl softly, the sound rumbling through the cave. He stretched his massive body and glanced around, taking in the strange glow of the insects and the calm of the stones. "Guess there's no use complaining. Might as well figure out what to do next," he thought, settling into the only comfortable spot he could find. Outside, the first stars began to dot the darkening sky. The beast's eyes gleamed as he watched them. He didn't ask to be here, but if this world wanted to make him the most hunted creature alive, then fine. They'd regret ever coming after him. Not only them but even beyond—the gods and the demons alike—for he would be the reincarnation of doom. But first… "A proper good night's sleep," the beast muttered as his eyes closed, and he drifted to sleep.

As he delves into dungeons, battles monstrous foes, and uncovers the mysteries of his spirits, he begins to unravel a deeper truth—one that ties his destiny to the very shadows he wields. Will Kayn rise to become a sovereign of shadows, or will the weight of his power consume him? Dive into a story of mystery, action, and unrelenting ambition where the shadows hold more than just darkness—they hold the key to Kayn’s ultimate fate.

[Special Containment Procedures] Calamity neared, and a special Containment Subject known as "Bonfire Company" awoke from its slumber, sending out invitation after invitation to join its ranks— "When The Night comes, there ought to be someone to light a fire, to illuminate in all directions."

Arthur never wanted to be a hero. He just wanted a break—from dead-end jobs, mounting debt, and a broken heart. But after a fatal crash, he wakes up in a brutal, game-like world filled with monsters, dungeons, and towers that threaten to devour everything. His only hope? The EX-rank class—[Overlord]. An unknown and dangerous class with unlimited potential—with a dangerous cost. S-Rank Charisma: Enhances charm and grants negotiation bonuses. (CHA+100) SS-Rank Mana Eater: Devour mana—and attributes from living beings and cores. SSS-Rank Overlord’s Path: A path of domination. Summoned Minions will increase all attributes by 1 each time they level. With only two summoned wolves, Scarlet and Violet, Arthur must carve out his dominion from nothing—starting with clearing goblin-infested villages and defending an indebted old knight. But this world isn’t forgiving. Noble conspiracies, dungeon waves, and rival adventurers stand in his way. Worse, his summons are tied to his survival, and the shadows whisper warnings of what’s coming. To rise, Arthur must conquer. To conquer, he must dominate.

'Divinity Online'. The new breakthrough in the Full-Immersion Virtual Reality technology. After decades of work, Divinity Corp had achieved the impossible. Creating a massive video game world that people can enter and live in as if it were Earth. Their goal was clear, to create a world other than Earth that we can call home. A place where the laws of reality vanish, and the true ceiling of power shifts completely. Naturally, the shockwave Divinity Online created across the entire globe was unlike anything else. Every single person has heard of it, even those who have had no interest in video games before. Giant corporations and even governments immediately rushed to start planning to invest in this new world and just like that, billions of people had their eyes on one single date: the 19th of July. *** Arthur, like everyone else, had heard of the game and was as excited as everyone else to try it, if not even more. With how much he grew bored of his life on earth, this fantasy world was like the divine call he had been searching for. However, there was a very small problem. He had no money to buy the machine required to access Divinity Online. His wretched life had turned him into a broke teenager with no parents, and no relatives. But, by some kind of luck, he got his hands on one of those machines. Not knowing what was awaiting him in that world, Arthur was simply seeking one thing... A new opportunity in life and to find a purpose he could work for when he had none so far. [Welcome to 'Divinity Online'.] [Assimilation Started...]

The century long war had just ended and humanity had managed to get their hands on alien technology, sending them years ahead in terms of technological advancement, fulfilling their hope of finding life outside their planet and their desire to dominate these extra-terrestrial existences. The effects of their technological advancement alone wasn’t capable of giving this result. The appearance of mutations which granted supernatural powers among humans was another boon giving them the chance to act out their darkest desires. Their joy took a dark turn when it was revealed that they were nothing more than livestock to the mysterious race, Xillthars, who cultivated them to that level. Like fattening livestock. Shortly before this dark turn of times was a forbidden creature, Kieran who had been born into the lowest levels of a society created by the greed of humans. To him, life had always been hard, but things got worse after the arrival of the Xillthars as he found himself on a trail of shocking discoveries about himself and the world around him.

Learning lost magic from ancient masters, he'll surpass his classmates and become the true savior Aethel needs. But can he overcome the dangers of the past and present to forge his own destiny? While others studied about the first mage, William could go back in time and see the first mage himself! While others dreamed of seeing a dragon, William could go back in time, hatch a legendary dragon egg and turn it into his puppy. While others used common materials to craft their items, William could go back in time and mine materials that weren't find anywhere in Aethel anymore. Is it unfair? Perhaps, but William was not the type of person to not use the powers the universe gave him.

With the fate of Midgard hanging in the balance, Hakon embarks on a journey that will test the limits of his strength, loyalty, and humanity. Will he become the hero he’s always dreamed of, or the instrument of a long-awaited reckoning? A boy with the heart of a warrior. A legacy born from betrayal.
