Cog Daybreak

The inhabitants of Valriius summoned a group of students to fight back against an impending invasion. Heroes were chosen, destinies shaped. But Oxyquin was never meant to be there. A genius, popular, and well-rounded, sure—but in the grand design of fate, he was just another extra.Just a cog in the machine of the world. Until fate—or rather, a glitch in reality—decided otherwise. One moment, he was about to confess to the girl he liked. The next, he was swallowed by a cosmic accident, dragged into a world of summoned heroes, legendary powers, and an unforgiving hierarchy of strength. Unlike the chosen, Oxy wasn’t supposed to be transmigrated. He was a mistake. A mistake given the most forgettable ability: Power (C-class). A small enhancement. Nothing more. While others gained divine weapons, psychic powers, and legendary summons, he was barely acknowledged. Not mocked. Not ridiculed. Just ignored. From an extra to the extra of extras… until the day everything changed. A training accident. A fall off a cliff. An ancient dragon’s cave. He entered the cave as an Extra. He exited as the Dragon Spawn. With a new identity, better understanding of his power, and a dangerously playful streak, Oxy is ready to shake the world. The transmigrators think he’s some legendary warrior, the Hero fears him, and the forces of Valriius don’t know whether to worship or eliminate him. One thing’s for sure—Oxy is going to enjoy every second of this. Mc personality: Trolling. Master troller. Disclaimer: MC is a genius, but he won’t use his smarts in fights. Rather he prefers to muscle through, and save his few brain cells for trolling and pranks.

At 18 years old, Hikaru Sano is a published novelist on the brink of a breakdown. Struggling with deadlines, a writer’s block that feels more like a writer’s mountain, and a growing pile of unpaid bills, Hikaru’s life is spiraling out of control. That is, until he’s forced to hire an assistant—Miyuki Hoshino, a no-nonsense college freshman who dreams of something more than just being another cog in the system. Miyuki is organized, sarcastic, and the complete opposite of Hikaru. She walks in ready to help him get his life together—if only he’d get his act together long enough for that to happen. Between surviving last-minute rewrites, chaotic deadlines, and an editor who could break a man just by typing in all caps, they find themselves stuck in an unlikely partnership. As the two spend late nights working together, an undeniable connection begins to form. But there’s a problem: both Hikaru and Miyuki are too shy, too awkward, and way too stubborn to admit their growing feelings. Add in some dark humor, a touch of romance, and a lot of writer’s angst, and you get a comedic ride through the unpredictable world of book deadlines, creativity, and finding love where you least expect it—between the lines.

In a world where the unseen weaves fate and power is both a blessing and a curse, the awakened are called Phantoms—warriors bound to the spirits, their strength the only shield between humanity and annihilation. Long ago, when the Wraithborn first descended—eldritch horrors that slithered from the void beyond existence—humanity stood at the edge of ruin. The skies darkened, cities crumbled, and no blade nor bullet could harm these spectral abominations. Then came the First Call—whispers from the Spiritscape, a realm beyond mortal comprehension. Those who heard it awakened as phantoms, wielding power borrowed from spirits unseen, pushing back the darkness and carving the first fragile dawn of survival. But survival had a price. Phantoms became the weapons of the world. The Regency regulated the phantoms, dictating their purpose: to fight or be discarded. Yet among them stood the Crowned Phantoms, legends of their kind, those who had ascended beyond the ordinary, commanding the Spiritscape with unrivaled mastery. They were kings among warriors, epitomes of power, the history of the ones revered. Countless yearned to be crowned, to stand above all, to forge their names in eternity. Kael Veyne wanted none of it. Awakened at the age of three—far too young, far too dangerous—Kael understood what others refused to see. Power was not glory. Power was chained. The world loved its heroes when they won but discarded them the moment they failed. He watched as Phantoms bled, as the Regency dictated their lives, as those who sought greatness were crushed under the weight of expectation. So he made a choice. He hid. For years, he lived in the shadows, using his power only to protect himself, refusing to be another cog in the machine. He wanted a quiet life, a life that was his. But fate is never kind to those who defy it. A single moment—an unseen ripple in the fabric of destiny—threatens to unravel everything. The Wraithborn are changing stronger, and no longer bound by the laws that once held them back. The Spiritscape stirs, its whispers louder than ever. The Regency is watching. And in the depths of the unseen world, an ancient prophecy murmurs of an emperor who walks between realms, commanding the spirits themselves. Kael has spent his life running from the inevitable. But when the tide rises and the world begins to shift, when all eyes turn toward him—will he remain a ghost in the crowd… or will the Spirit Emperor rise?

[Kill decisive + not Madonna + horizontal push + invincible + violent.] Lin Yu, an ordinary and tired young man in modern society, the pressure of life and the confusion of his heart make him drink to drown his sorrows on his birthday and get hung up on the street.

Elliot Crane was an ordinary office worker—another cog in the corporate machine, living a life of mind-numbing routine. That is, until a tragic accident (or was it?) sends him spiraling into a brutal, neon-lit cyberpunk dystopia where the line between man and machine blurs. Armed with a snarky, ever-present System that doles out absurd missions and even more absurd rewards, Elliot must fight his way through gang wars, corporate conspiracies, and seductive femme fatales—all while trying to uncover why he was brought to this world in the first place. The kicker? Each mission completed doesn’t just make him stronger—it brings him closer to erotic encounters with the dangerous, alluring women of the cyberpunk underworld. But the stakes are high, and the bullets fly faster than the quips from his System. In a city where betrayal is currency and desire is a weapon, Elliot will have to fight hard, think fast, and maybe, just maybe, survive long enough to find the truth.

With the weight of her family’s legacy and a power no one can teach her to wield, Khione stands at the beginning of a journey that promises greatness but is shrouded in mystery.

Across a vast and shadowed continent, the Seven Pillars of Eternity stand as timeless monuments to a world governed by divine mandate. For millennia, these pillars have upheld a fragile order, forged by the Seven Churches—The Holy See of Light, The Silver Order, The Blood Council, The Cog Temple, The Necrotic Faith, The Abyssal Cult, and The Draconic Order—bound together under a sacred covenant. Proclaiming themselves the earthly stewards of the gods, these churches reign over a land steeped in faith, yet fractured by ambition. Beneath their sanctified banners, however, lies a web of deception spun by false deities, whose whispered lies have shaped the destiny of nations. This world is no sanctuary. Born from the ashes of the Cataclysm of the Gods, a mythic war shrouded in enigma where the false gods rose to power, the continent bears the scars of its untold past. Nobles wield blood rites to chain the masses, shadowed markets trade in forbidden relics and mechanical augments, while witch hunters stalk the night, their blades glinting with righteous zeal. The air hums with the clangor of alchemical forges, the wails of restless spirits summoned from ancient crypts, and the roars of dragonkin echoing across desolate peaks. Beneath it all, fissures in the earth pulse with abyssal murmurs, a testament to forces older and darker than the churches dare admit. The Seven Pillars, symbols of eternal dominion, stand atop this chaos, their sanctity a façade masking corruption and greed. For centuries, the covenant has held—barely. The Seven Churches, outwardly united in their divine mission, vie in secret for supremacy, each hoarding knowledge and power that threaten the others. The false gods they worship offer no miracles, only hollow promises, while whispers of a greater truth—buried deep beneath the pillars—begin to stir. Prophecies, long suppressed, speak of a time when the oaths binding this world will shatter, when the pillars will crumble under the weight of their own lies, and when the shadow of the false gods will give way to a reckoning beyond mortal comprehension. Now, the cracks are widening. A young witch hunter, armed with a blade etched in sacred runes, steps into a forsaken village chasing a rumored vampire threat, only to find a figure whose presence defies all he knows. Across the land, voices of dissent rise—nobles cast aside by their kin, priests questioning their faith, outcasts wielding forbidden arts. From the ashes of betrayal, a rebellion takes root, one that will challenge the sanctity of the Seven Pillars and unravel the covenant that binds them. As the false gods stir and ancient rifts widen, the continent teeters on the brink of upheaval, its fate hinging on those bold enough to defy eternity itself. This is a realm where faith is a lie, where rebellion is a spark, and where the echoes of a shattered covenant will reshape the cosmos. From the ruins of a forgotten village to the battlefields of higher planes, The Shattered Covenant of the Seven Pillars of Eternity unfolds a saga of treachery, valor, and the dawn of a new age.

The art for the book cover is not mine. Nor is AI generated, I believe that authors shouldn't use AI at all for book covers. The image that I took is taken from IMDb, in which they probably took this image from the opening theme for "Kekai Sensen" which is called "Hello,World!" by Bump of Chicken The story can technically be counted as an anthology(?), I think that's the right term idk. Every chapter except for the first 3 chapters (that's not the side story) is going to follow the same timeline but will have no impact on the non-existed main story. In other words, I write whatever I want and it can be a slice of life story or be a "action story". The story might shift POVS once in a while, which just means that it’s just a story about [instert character here]. Like since there are multiple teams in the story, I might make side stories about them and will mark the chapters as side stories. Also there won’t be a lot of fight scenes since everyone is way to overpowered and I’m trying to make it a bit slice of life-y. And uploading will be strange or just random since it's just for fun.

“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.

Lyon is a young man who lived a leisurely life on earth. Not much was said except that he enjoyed such a life. However, one fateful night sent him to the world where killing is not a sin, alchemy is a thing, and magic cultivation is not imaginary. Immediately after being sent to this world. He is met with a beautiful woman who rumbled the earth and cracked the very firmament under the mortals' eyes. Selena is her name. She claimed to be his wife, the first one of three. However, their meetings didn't last long due to circumstances that he has yet understood. With one wedding ring on his finger that contained half of his past power, he sets forth to find Cecile, the woman whom Selena said is a queen in Blue Continent, the other wife that he adored then. But, he lacked focus at times, and combined with his whimsical nature, he often finds himself, in unusual situations. His smirk and lazy demeanor brought nothing but trouble for himself and the others around him. His relentless nature of stealing, his rebellious adolescence year, and the capability to smile by the teeth of a gnawing dragon brought his charm to a height that fairies once forget.

His arrival in this world has rotated an old cog of fate that those old monsters and old kings in the ages of the ancients, would have never guessed to be working again.

The world Jenna once knew was gone, replaced by a chaotic landscape where the undead ruled. Cities, once bustling with traffic and the constant hum of office life, now stood eerily quiet, littered with abandoned cars and half-eaten remains. Skyscrapers loomed over crumbling streets, their windows shattered like jagged teeth in the skyline. Before the apocalypse, Jenna was just another cog in the corporate machine—26 years old, an office worker who blended into the beige walls of her cubicle. She was sharp-witted, sarcastic, and always found a way to inject humour into the soul-crushing monotony of her daily grind. Her dark brown hair was constantly tied in a lazy bun, and her wardrobe consisted of the same three cardigans rotated in and out of existence. She had dreams, sure, but none of them involved surviving a zombie apocalypse, let alone doing it with newly discovered spatial powers. Now, as a newly minted zombie with a strange ability to store objects in a personal pocket dimension, Jenna found herself navigating a ruined world with the same dry humour that once got her through endless office meetings. Only now, she was hoarding supplies instead of spreadsheets—and doing it in style. --- A/N The MC is dumb as f*ck so, if your looking for smart and strong MC. This story is not for you.

His fate was predetermined: fight, defend, and perish with the stars, a mere cog in the great machinery of creation. But something within him resisted this cruel fate. A seed of defiance sprouted in his heart, whispering of freedom. He sought a way to transcend the cosmic chains—to escape, to defy destiny, to seize freedom at any cost. As a mortal, he felt the agony of watching his loved ones wither and die, powerless to stop the decay of time. He wept for children, lovers, friends. As an emperor, he conquered kingdoms and wielded unimaginable power, only to be betrayed by those he trusted most, dragged from his throne, and executed in shame.

His heart whispered one thing to him, a truth carved into his soul:Move forward. Always forward. Because he was Li Shenrong—the Lord of the Celestial Throne.

Death, a being who since time immemorial was considered to be a mere cog for the world to run. And Iris, a young girl who had just lost everything she loved due to the entanglement of fate. When the two collide, something changes within them unbeknownst to themselves.

Something in our universe was broken, causing one nameless man to be caught up in the cogs. Transferred somehow to a strange new world, he learns he has lost his memory of the most important details of his life and our world. Given the name Lukazio, he takes his first steps onto the paths of power as he competes in an arena unlike any other. Teleported into the bodies of others each time, he is made to fight in other strange (and sometimes familiar) worlds. Discovering the hidden potentials buried deep in humanity, Lukazio battles his way through his competition, seeking the greatest prize of all: an opportunity to meet the lone deity of this universe and ask for a way back home. But why has the God of his new universe, Tel’Amirin, been collecting such unique creatures and forcing them to fight in exotic locales and under extreme conditions? To what end does the Immortal Colloseum serve. Is it simple entertainment? Then why does it seem like there are too many coincidences and patterns? And finally, why are Humans so powerless in our own universe, while Lukazio’s rises through the ranks in this new realm seem unstopable?
