Riley Next Step

Dragon’s Tale: Ultimate was the VRMMORPG to end all VRMMORPGs—a fantasy world where players chose from hundreds of dragon classes to fight, grind, evolve, and eventually ascend to the legendary title of [Dragon Sage], a divine heavenly serpent. Shake the heavens, change the meta entirely. It was something that all fought for, but none achieved. 17-year-old Ryuuzen Valeflame was this close to achieving it. One of the top players. Dark Silver Dragonoid breed. Built different. But sabotage, backstabs, and RNG hell meant he never reached the endgame title. So, in the final hours before the servers shut down forever, he decided to solo one of the hardest legacy bosses—just for the memories. He did not expect to get hit by [Tier 0: Medusa’s Stare] and turn to stone mid-fight. He also didn’t expect the shutdown to happen before he could hit the logout button. And so he stayed. Frozen. Forgotten. For thousands of in-game years. Until now. Ryuuzen wakes up in a very different Dragonia—no players, no devs, just ancient legends and glitchy memories of the old world. Turns out, he’s still a Dark Silver Dragon… and now technically a divine being revered. So yeah. If he’s gonna be stuck here? He might as well finally become the [Dragon Sage]—for real this time. Join Ryuuzen on his chaotic journey through a world that barely remembers what patch notes even were. With absurd companions, cults who think he’s a god, and enough overpowered dragon nonsense to crash an old server—this isekai is about to get out of hand.

Waking up in a world where strength is law and weakness is sin, a nameless man begins a journey not to conquer, rule, or ascend—but simply to understand who he is. With no memories and no talent. With nothig but a curse disguised as a blessing and his unshakable will. He is going to keep walking his lonely path—fighting fate, challenging gods, and questioning the meaning of existence itself. If purpose lies beyond the stars, in the void, or in the silence of death—then he will find it, step by step… even if it leads into oblivion.

A resentful ghost that wiped out a whole neighbourhood, a child ghost who wouldn't let his family rest in peace even after death and a female ghost who captures and tortures men to death. These are stories that Atlas initially wrote off as nonsense made up by people to scare themselves, but after that one night he realized just how wrong he was. Beneath the world he knew was another world, one much more treacherous and cruel than the world he was used to. From resentful ghosts that just wanted justice to scumbag ghosts that won't stop their evil even in death and the evil sorcerers that make use of them. Atlas was born a pure blood sorcerer but all of these were kept from him until later in life. Join Atlas as he steps into the paranormal world, coming into contact with everything he once believed couldn't possibly exist.

Claire Lian Yuxi grew up in France, raised by a Chinese couple who adopted her when she was just a baby. She never questioned where she came from not when her home was filled with love, and her world made sense. But everything changes when her adoptive father falls seriously ill. The only hope is a liver transplant and the best chance of a match lies with a blood relative from his side of the family. There’s just one problem: they’ve lost touch with everyone back in China. With little more than a name and a city, Claire is sent across the world to find someone who might not even exist. But the journey quickly spirals — her bag is stolen, she’s stranded in a place she doesn’t know, and help seems far away. Until she meets Li Zeyan. He’s quiet, serious, and almost too composed not the kind of guy who picks up strangers off the street. But something about Claire softens him, and he offers her a place to stay, just until she gets back on her feet. What neither of them knows is that their lives are already tangled in a way that goes deeper than either of them can see.

A top student, admired for his brilliance and composure, Akira is secretly drowning in expectations and isolation. That begins to change when he’s seated next to Airi Tachibana, a quiet book-loving girl who doesn’t smile just to please or look at him with admiration.

"Have you heard of him?" A small boy tugged at a woman's skirt, his tiny finger pointing at the large portrait of a man clad in a minister’s robe. "Shhh! Don’t say its name!" The woman hushed him, glancing around anxiously. She knew the boy was only curious about the drawing, yet the inscription beside it spoke of someone else entirely. Still, the credit had been given to the man in the portrait. "Why?" "We just... don’t say it." "Are you talking about The Next General?" A man dressed as a scholar interjected, inserting himself into the conversation. "Everyone is talking about it. After a hundred years, it has returned. I can't decide whether that fills me with hope or dread." His words were meant to impress, to showcase his knowledge, but the woman only tightened her grip on the boy, scooped him up, and hurried away like a hunted animal sensing danger. The scholar let out a single sharp laugh. "A chaotic rhythm… and marvellously extraordinary times are upon us," he murmured, before turning and walking away. --- Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.

Alpha Damian rules his territory with brutal efficiency and an iron will ever since a rival nearly destroyed his pack 5 years ago. His pack is protected by ancient magic—wards so powerful that no outsider should even see them, let alone walk through. So when a small, foul-mouthed redhead strolls right past them like she owns the place, Damian does what any good alpha would: he assumes she's a threat… Except Samantha isn't a threat. She’s human. Utterly powerless. Or so she says. She doesn’t smell like magic. Doesn’t feel like magic. And yet, everything about her defies it. The barrier let her through. The forest spirits won’t go near her. The vampires on the border suddenly look nervous. And somehow—somehow—she just told a six-foot-seven werewolf Alpha to “back the hell up” and he actually listened. Samantha wants nothing to do with the supernatural. She’s lost, tired, and just looking for a bed and breakfast—not a battle for the future of the magical realm. But her very existence is breaking rules no one realized could be broken, and Damian can’t decide if he should protect her… or run. He’s never been afraid of anything. Until now. Because the powerless girl might just be the most powerful thing to ever cross his path—and not even the Moon Goddess saw her coming. [Mature Content Warning] [NO UNDER 18's]

Amano Haruya, a quietly observant 19-year-old, lives an invisible life: broke, orphaned, and walking Tokyo’s margins one courier job at a time. But one cold morning, a system appears—offering not hope, but function: “Every step you take from now on is worth money.” Not magic. Not fantasy. Just perfectly legal, traceable income from every step. Starting from ¥1 per step, the system builds momentum—and slowly begins to layer in daily log-in rewards (including company shares, rare skills, properties) and special challenge tasks like auctions or social deals. At first, Haruya uses the system to survive. Then to build. Then to infiltrate. Soon, he’s spotted in high-society auctions, invited to investor dinners, and even mistaken as the secret heir of a forgotten zaibatsu. He never confirms it—but he never denies it either. As his asset portfolio grows to include major stakes in billion-yen firms, exclusive-use vending contracts, urban land, and a set of scalable passive skills, Haruya becomes both a ghost and a legend in Tokyo’s financial undercurrent. All without ever telling anyone the truth. But rivals emerge. Influencers and heirs get curious. And the system, though passive, keeps nudging him forward. Because Haruya isn’t walking for money anymore. He’s walking to own the country.
