Starborn Renegades: Anthem of the Flawed

STARBORN RENEGADES: ANTHEM OF THE FLAWED WHEN COSMIC CHAINS BIND THE FLAWED, WE SHATTER FATE WITH OUR IMPERFECTIONS. In the star-strewn void, Gene Accords dictate existence: the genetically "perfect" rule, while the Flawed face exile, execution, or recycling as living fuel. Under the banner of "Order," the Doctrine Conclave enforces this divine purge. HAYATE: THE COURIER OF CURSED STARLIGHT A rogue deliveryman navigating galactic fringes, Hayate carries two legacies: A rusted wrench inherited from his grandfather. The Stardust Eye embedded in his right socket—a curse granting fragmented precognition at the cost of erasing his most cherished memories. His latest job? Transporting the Conclave’s most wanted contraband: Rin, a living weapon. RIN: THE CRYSTAL BLADE OF CHAOS Her left arm pulses with Quantum Corruption, a crystalline force that severs Gene Accords. Each slash devours her existence, atomizing her soul to stardust. Labeled "Project CRY-VΩ7", she’s a relic the Conclave has hunted for millennia. Now, Hayate becomes her final courier—and unwitting shield. THE HUNT BEGINS When Conclave warships descend, the duo flees to the Liar’s Ocean, a cursed expanse drowning in forbidden history. But after Hayate touches a derelict Gene Forge, his Stardust Eye ignites, revealing a harrowing vision: —HE WILL BECOME THE CONCLAVE’S ULTIMATE EXECUTIONER, ANNIHILATING THE FLAWED. Meanwhile, Rin uncovers her origin in the wreckage of an ancient ark. A shattered datachain reveals her wrist tattoo’s truth: CRY-VΩ7 isn’t a serial number—it’s a weapons protocol. She’s not human. She’s a program. FATE OR REBELLION? Hayate’s choice: Submit to the genetic chains foretold by his cursed eye—or break reality to forge a new path. Rin’s truth: Is she a blight to erase, or the key to shattering the Accords?

Tempest Bound: The Mermen's Lure

Brave individuals who travel beyond safe beaches have been plagued by terrible stories of sirens with deadly beauty and tunes that steal brains for as long as ships have flown. Presuming the life of young Captain Seraphine's father, a seasoned sailor washed ashore with unusual, magical tattoos scorched into his skin, these terrible tales For Seraphine, these tales have little significance; however, when she finds her father's abandoned ship floating on the sea, she understands there is only one path forward—to learn what happened and honor his name. But no one dares to join her on her journey because they believe curses follow women near water. Equipped with her father's blueprints and an iron will, Seraphine sails alone across the Seven Seas to meet the relentless storms, ghostly whispers, and forbidden waters. But one beautiful night her net catches an injured merman fighting the iron threads instead of fish. Uncertain but fascinated, Seraphine lets him aboard without knowing that this unusual creature bears the keys to the darkness she is searching for. Between loyalty to his community and developing love for Seraphine, Rowan, the merman, finds himself divided. They negotiate a dangerous half-truth territory where the sea and heavens entwine in a maze of secrets together. With every wave, Seraphine is approaching the truth even at a cost. Old powers seeking to claim both of them draw their attention as they walk farther. The Merman's Lure offers a horrible tale of love, dishonesty, and the thin line separating mankind from mythology, therefore it forces Seraphine to choose whether the answers she searches are worth the darkness they unleash.

I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Across the vast convolution of worlds, divine beings rule as absolute sovereigns—each god assigned dominion over a singular realm. Skirmishes are inevitable, whether for power, amusement, or sheer pettiness. One such battle, between Nexus, the God of Trickery, and an aging, senile deity, resulted in an anomaly… A soul misplaced. Elliot, an ordinary man, was never meant for Ul’Tra-el. But fate, or perhaps a cosmic prank, had other plans. Unlike other worlds, Ul’Tra-el is an aberration—one that developed a voice. A voice that diverged from the natural order. A voice that changed everything. Its foundation cracked, leaking dimensions into one another. Rifts tore open like festering wounds, vomiting forth unspeakable horrors—monsters not meant to exist. But the world did not sit idly by. In response—perhaps an act of self-preservation—the world gifted its inhabitants power. Talents awakened, granting people extraordinary abilities. And for every rift sealed, the Voice of Ul rewarded them generously. Survival was simple: fight, grow stronger, and close the rifts… or die trying. In this ruthless, blood-soaked reality, Northern—a white-haired boy burdened by his past life—was reincarnated. But unlike the chosen heroes, he awakened as a talentless nobody. No power. No strength. No future. And when death loomed over him—when despair clawed at his soul and the cold grip of the failure threatened to take him— A Voice responded: [System Notice] [Your Soul cannot take a form.] [Searching for a Unique Pattern Ability…] [Searching…] [Search Found.] [A Unique System Ability has been detected.] [You Can Copy And Evolve Talents] ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.

Resonance of Realms

Kai Nakamura is a directionless twenty-something, trapped in the monotony of a convenience store job and a life of unfulfilled potential. Everything changes when he is suddenly transported from a mundane night shift in Tokyo to a bizarre, multidimensional landscape with two moons and impossible creatures. Discovered by Lyra, a mysterious woman with living circuit-tattoos, and accompanied by a six-eyed creature that defies biological understanding, Kai learns he is far more than an ordinary human. He is a "bridge" - a critical point of connection between multiple realities that are becoming dangerously unstable. The multiverse is experiencing a systemic breakdown. Boundaries between different layers of reality are becoming permeable, causing dangerous "immune responses" from entities called Null Fragments, which attempt to violently seal these breaches. Kai's unique potential makes him crucial to understanding and potentially stabilizing these fracturing realities. Driven by memories of his dying mother's belief in his unexplored potential, Kai begins an extraordinary transformation. His training with Lyra reveals abilities that go beyond normal human perception - he can interact with reality's fundamental systems, interrupting and redirecting complex multidimensional processes. As Kai learns to navigate this new existence, he discovers that his role is not just about survival, but about preventing a catastrophic collapse of interconnected realities. His journey is a profound exploration of personal growth, systemic change, and the nature of consciousness itself.

I Am Overpowered And A Comedian In Another World

I am Racist. … I mean, my name is Racis T. I was a stand-up comedian. The flop kind. The type who only got laughs when someone else was roasting him. One night, I was doing a gig at a shady, run-down bar—the kind where tattooed bikers drink motor oil for breakfast. I went in with my usual dark humor, but my jokes were getting the same reaction as my dating profile: complete silence. That didn’t sit right with my inner artist, who was already starving to death. So I did what any committed comedian would—I went darker. Turns out, one of my jokes (or all of them?) triggered a guy so hard that he pulled a trigger. Headshot. Instant death. But hey, look at this: A guy got triggered, so he pulled the trigger. That’s wordplay. But who cares? I’m dead anyway. All I wanted was a successful show, people laughing, and maybe a few girls swooning over my wit. I never cared about money. The millions I’d have made would have gone to charity—specifically, 0.001% of it. See? I’m generous like that. Anyway, death is death. My story should’ve ended there. But… if there is an afterlife, I had a simple wish: become a successful comedian, find a loving wife, and have just enough money to afford three meals a day… and maybe a humble little private yacht. Or a jet. But that’s it. Because, like I said, I don’t care about money. Unfortunately, wishes don’t work that way. Because, well—there was an afterlife. And it was absolutely not what I wished for. ——— ——— ——— Gib Money - ko-fi.com/khyaal Join My Discord For Reference Arts and much more - https://discord.gg/zmUcswM2N5

Lone as Moon

On that night, as I walked aimlessly through the alleys with tears streaming down my face, I kept mumbling, “I hate my life, I hate my life, I hate my life.” I was so immersed in my self-wallow that I didn't realize how far I had wandered up the mountain until I tripped on a rock and landed on my right knee. “*Hissed* How do I walk back down limping?” I murmured into the silence, unsure of what to do next. Just as I was about to find my way back down, something caught my eye at the top of the mountain, just a few steps away from me. A flower was glowing there, radiant and mysterious, and I couldn't help but feel intrigued by its presence. I limped towards it, ignoring the pain in my knee, my gaze fixed on the flower as if it held the answers to my troubles. As I stepped closer, I heard a rustling noise behind the bushes. “Hello, is someone there?” I called out gently, but deep down, I figured it was just a rabbit or something. My attention remained on the flower, its beauty ethereal, enhanced by the full moon hanging in the sky. Just then, I felt an odd sense of courage wash over me, and I decided to touch the flower. As my fingers made contact, I was unprepared for what happened next: the flower's glow transferred to me, slowly causing it to wither away. “No, no, what did I do?” Panic surged through me as I tried to brush the glow off my body, but instead, it became even more blinding. Suddenly, I felt something leave me, and whoosh—I was lifted off the ground, emitting a fog-like glow as the world around me darkened. “*Gasp* Where am I?” I opened my eyes wide, darting them around in confusion, trying to make sense of everything. “Was it just a dream?” I wondered aloud, but everything looked so familiar; I found myself in my room, yet something felt profoundly different. I stood up, intent on freshening up, but paused when I noticed my fingernails—they were ash-colored and longer than before. I didn’t remember getting a manicure, so what was happening? I pushed those thoughts aside and stripped down to take a quick shower, but that’s when I let out a startled scream. A massive flower tattoo covered my back! “H—how? I didn't do this, right?” Confusion and disbelief washed over me, but beneath it all, a thrill of anticipation began to stir within me. What had transpired? What did it mean for the future? The events of that night felt like a catalyst for something far greater, and I couldn't shake the feeling that my life was about to change in ways I could hardly comprehend.

Chronicles of the Transmigrated, Time-Lost Transcendent Genius

Caelum had always regarded Zara as more than just his master. She was a mother to him. When she handed him a pill, he swallowed it—no questions asked. But the pill turned out to be a potent poison. Death loomed over Caelum, but he was quick to act and successfully cast a transmigration spell. He was flung four centuries into the future and awakened in the gravely wounded body of a sixteen-year-old noble, Quinn. Yet, betrayal never crossed his mind—only questions. He was a hundred percent certain that in neither universe would Zara ever poison him. In this new era, the mage race was still at war with the undead, but the world had transformed beyond recognition. The Eternal Kingdom had vanished, and four powerful forces had risen, one of them being the Kingdom of Zephirion. Magic had also taken a new turn as origin magics disappeared. Instead, mages had applied different properties to elemental magics, which they called divergent magics. But Caelum was most disturbed that there were no records of the past he had come from. Uncertain of his next steps, Caelum decided to live Quinn’s life while seeking remnants of the past and investigating his predecessor’s death. In no time, Caelum—now Quinn—found trails of the murder, and they pointed him to a powerhouse organization, the Sentinels of Zephirion. But realizing his current power was no match for them, revenge would have to wait. To restore his former battle prowess, Quinn dominated the academy’s challenges. He also earned the opportunity to witness the kingdom’s battlefront against the undead. At the kingdom’s border, the war was one-sided. Hordes of undead were being obliterated by mages. The reason? Two colossal barriers were protecting the mages: one encased the Kingdom of Zephirion, called the inner barrier, and another shielded all four great forces, the outer barrier. But being not only a genius in magic but in arrays as well, Quinn had one big question: what fueled the array? Quinn soon discovered that the inner barrier was being maintained by the Sentinels of Zephirion. His investigation into Quinn's death was reopened as his suspicions grew. Eventually, Quinn learned that the barrier array was fueled by draining the magic essence of countless mages. Worse yet, the core of the array was the very magic essence of his master’s companions. Quinn’s questions now piled up. What had really happened four hundred years ago? Who could have killed his master’s allies, who were SSS+ mages? Despite learning the horrifying truth, Quinn still lacked the strength to act. And so, he chose to gather allies. Once he was strong enough, he exposed the atrocities of the Sentinels of Zephirion to the people. That was when his foes were criticized and found themselves in a difficult position. The Sentinels of Zephirion wanted to eliminate Quinn, but with the protection of Quinn’s allies, they were unable to act openly. As tensions escalated, the royal family intervened and justified the Sentinels of Zephirion’s sacrifices as a necessary evil to maintain the barrier. But Quinn had anticipated this and had a plan. He later revealed an alternative array—one that would create a barrier of equal strength but fueled not by the magic essence of mages but by the collective mana of Zephirion’s mages. That was the final spark that ignited the rebellion. With no reason to fear the disappearance of the barrier, the people rose against both the Sentinels of Zephirion and the royal family. A great war erupted, and the conflict continued for days. In the end, the enemies were defeated. Now that Quinn’s vengeance was fulfilled, he turned his attention to the records of his foes. He was greatly disturbed by the murder of his master’s friends, only to discover that they had not been killed and sacrificed. Instead, they had created the array and willingly sacrificed themselves for one purpose—to protect the future. To protect the future from what?

Descent to The World of Chaos

Mary, before becoming the Child of Slaughter was nothing more than a weak and sickly orphan from a distant blue star called Earth. On that humble planet, she was unremarkable—just another faceless soul among countless others, resigned to a quiet and lonely demise. Her life was ordinary, fleeting, and insignificant. But fate had other plans Without warning, Mary was cast into the World of Chaos—a realm of endless darkness, chaos and destruction Stripped of the mundane comforts of her former life, she struggled to adapt, clinging to survival with her frail body. Yet no amount of resolve could shield her from the harshness of this new reality Eventually, the cruelty of her circumstances broke her. Her innocence was gone, and in its place, something cold and hateful took root. She became a machine of war—a tool forged by necessity, conditioned to kill, to survive, and to endure in a world that demanded blood and sacrifice But even in the abyss, there remained a faint glimmer of hope Mary encountered Ethan Bright, the Archduke of Dreams. He was the Perfect Being and one of the Four Rulers of the now-fallen Empire His very existence gave people hope that one day, the Empire would be rebuilt and that peace would return to this cursed world, but hope was never enough Calamity struck again and again. So as the years passed the burning star was eventually extinguished. As everything they tried so hard to perserve crumbled before them Faced with the inevitable end, Ethan Bright fell just like the others. The Perfect Being, the loving husband, the devoted father–he was no more. What remained was an empty shell, consumed by despair and madness. No longer the Archduke of Dreams, he became the Sin of Avaritia, a being consumed by insatiable longing and regret In his descent, Ethan embarked on a path of self-destruction, conducting countless experiments in a desperate attempt to change their predetermined future. In his madness, Ethan even went as far as creating the embodiment of Chaos itself, accelerating the death of an already dying world During this madness all those who sought to stop or save him fell one by one, unable to withstand the merciless path he had carved for himself And after everything that has happened, only one remained—Mary. She was the last tether to his shattered mind, the only constant in his spiral of destruction. She was all he had left to protect, the only reminder of the man he used to be Confronted with the weight of his sins and the irreversible consequences of his actions, Ethan became The One Who Wished, a being who chased the impossible—atonement for an unforgivable sin Consumed by regret, he desperately sought a way to undo the damage he had wrought. And yet every effort proved fruitless, but even then he pressed on, clinging to the faintest sliver of hope But at the face of an inevitable end, Ethan made his most desperate and selfish choice He cursed Mary with a twisted form of immortality–one born of his own shattered dreams and unyielding desire to see her live on. It was a cruel gift, an unbreakable chain tying her to a future that he has failed to protect Though he expected her hatred– though he deserved her scorn–Ethan still dared to hope. Somewhere in the depths of his broken mind, he wished for her understanding, for her forgiveness It was a foolish dream, but it was all he had left And so, Mary endured Iteration after iteration, their destinies unfolded anew. With each cycle, they changed—growing, learning, diverging from the paths that were once thought inevitable. This time, they would rise to confront the sins of their past, the burdens of their present, and the sinners across countless timelines Hopefully this time, Mary and Ethan would change their predetermined future As they face their irredeemable past and carve a new future from the wreckage of despair Though the question remained: Can they finally break free from their predetermined fate? Only time will tell

He Comes At Night

Rose stood defiantly, eyes locked onto his golden ones as she lifted the hem of her small top, exposing the smooth expanse of her stomach before peeling the fabric over her head. The red glittering bra shimmering under moonlight as if made for this very moment. She ignored the tremor of anticipation curling in her gut. None of that mattered. Not even the reckless haze of drugs clouding her thoughts. Tonight, she was in control. This was a mission. A mission to keep his attention solely on her so could save her friend from his curse. Her fingers hooked into the waistband of her shorts, her breath steadying when she saw him go rigid. Shoulders squared. Posture tensed. Not in fear. Not in disgust. But in something far sinister. His Interest. “Yes… feast your depraved little eyes and filthy mind on this,” she whispered, smirking as the shorts fell away, pooling at her ankles. The silky red thong clung to her hips, the moonlight accentuating every curve of her body. She flicked the discarded clothing aside, shifting her weight slightly as she let her nightly visitor drink in the sight of her naked glory. His posture no longer that of boredom. Good. That was exactly what she wanted. More like, what intoxicated, irrational Rose wanted. She twirled, giving him a deliberate view, rolling her hips just enough to torment. “Since you’ve made my life a living hell, I might as well return the favor.” She cast a wicked smile over her shoulder. “Consider this my gift to you—one you’ll never get to touch.” By the time she turned back, her stomach plummeted. He had moved. No longer a distant silhouette in the meadow—he now stood at the edge of her patio. Much closer and so much real. The thrill that had fueled her was fading slowly. Had she just made a mistake playing this game with her stalker? Swallowing hard, she lowered herself onto the chair, parting her bare legs wide and letting the wooden cross dangle before her barely covered cherry, in a taunt. A silent challenge. His fingers curled around the wooden rail, veins standing taut against the black ink of his tattoos. His chest rose and fell, controlled but heavier, as though restraining something barely contained beneath his skin. "Want a taste, my dear stalker?" Rose whispers She had him pinned. Or so she thought. Her shadowy visitor moves. Slow, deliberate steps leading closer. Panic slammed into her. No. Rose bolted upright, pressing the cross against the glass door separating them. “Stay back!” Her voice wavered a bit. “I swear, I’ll burn your stalking ass right where you stand!” He stilled. A beat of silence. Then— A low, quiet chuckle rumbled through the night air, reaching her ears like smoke. Deep and Dark. Her stomach twisted. The sound was foreign, yet eerily familiar. As if she had always known this was how he would sound. His hands rose in mock surrender, his hooded head tilting slightly, as if entertained by her little performance. Then, as effortlessly as he had closed the distance, he stepped back. Rose’s breath fastened. She was playing with fire, willingly, by provoking the one who comes out at night and remain in shadows. And he was enjoying it.   == In the embrace of her ancestral town, Rose seeks refuge from the echoes of her past. Little does she know, her return to her roots will awaken dormant shadows, shattering ordinary her existence. For when the darkness falls over the town, from the pitch black rises a shadowy figure that haunt her nights. In the darkness he sweeps her off the ground in terrible fear and the allure of sinister intrigue. And once the sun comes, a man with a god awful attitude, haunts her in the broad day light. Causing her to swell with pure disdain. With each passing night, it draws closer to Rose, casting a chilling spell that both terrifies and exhilarates her. Thrust into a labyrinth of mysteries can she navigate the treacherous path laid before her, or will her nightly visitor consume her whole?
