Fledgling Espresso

The countdown hit zero. The servers of the legendary MMORPG, Yggdrasil Nova, were supposed to shut down forever. For Ravi, a player who had poured a decade of his life into becoming the game's sole omnipotent being, it was a bittersweet farewell. But the logout never came. Instead of being booted, Ravi found himself fused with his avatar, Kaelus, the Silent Sovereign. He was trapped. But he wasn't alone. His custom-created NPCs, monstrously powerful beings designed to be the ultimate guardians of his fortress, were no longer bound by code. They were alive. And they viewed him not as their master, but as their one and only God. Now, in a world that is both familiar and terrifyingly real, Kaelus must navigate the worship of his fanatically loyal servants, the politics of fledgling kingdoms that see him as a demon or a savior, and the terrifying mystery of why he's trapped. He is a being of absolute power in a world of mortals. He is not a hero. He is not a villain. He is a force of nature, and the world is about to feel his presence. When mortals pray and gods are silent, what happens when a new god answers the call?

In the depths of a newborn universe, a cultivator takes advantage of the abundant energy to refine himself a treasure.

On Earth, a young man, lost and confused about what to do with his life, sits in a park and looks up at the night sky. A shooting star, a wish and a bang. When the boy finally wakes up he hears a sound, "assimilation complete. Launching System. Welcome to the Midnight Inn. Host Designation: The Innkeeper."

Notice: This story contains R18+ themes, including violence, sensual and sexual content, blood-related addiction, and dark psychological elements. Reader discretion advised. I died in a library, crushed under centuries of forgotten knowledge. Fitting. Now I’ve woken up in a coffin, starving, undead, and very much not human. They call me a Fledgling—a bottom-feeder vampire barely above a ghoul. I’m weak, hunted, and tethered to a world straight out of a cursed tabletop campaign. It’s a classic fantasy realm—elves, knights, guilds, and dungeons—but twisted by a dark, rotting magic. The moon shines red, the gods are silent, and every town smells like fear. To make matters worse, I’ve been bound to a LitRPG system called the Blood Codex. Level up by draining blood. Unlock skills by embracing your monstrous nature. Resist Corruption... or don’t. There's no prophecy. No chosen one nonsense. No noble title. Just fangs, rot, and whatever I can steal, trick, or kill to survive. But the deeper I sink into this world’s underbelly, the more I realize something is watching me through the system. The rules are breaking. Dungeon bosses are going mad. Entire towns are disappearing. And I think I’m supposed to fix it… or maybe finish the job.

He just wanted a quiet vacation and a good espresso... instead, he ended up seducing half the city. ------ Lux Vaelthorn wanted three things: a good coffee, peace and quiet, and zero responsibilities. What he got? A mansion, a system with the personality of a deadpan butler, and a bunch of heiresses fighting over who gets to be his first “investment.” As the heir of Greed and Lust, Lux was born to dominate markets, hearts, and boardrooms. But after centuries of cleaning up his parents’ messes in the underworld, he rage-quit Hell’s finance department and took a hundred-year vacation to the mortal realm. His problem? Even without trying, he’s too hot, too rich, and too damn magnetic. His Incubus Pheromones seduce emotionally unstable rich girls like clockwork. His Greed System scans bank accounts like X-rays. And thanks to a “minor” celestial bounty on his soul, some entities either want to marry him… or murder him. [Warning: 3 rich virgins detected within 15 meters. Incubus Pheromones activated.] [Recommendation: Flee. Or flirt. Your call.] Lux just wanted caffeine. Now he’s got a mansion full of horny heiresses, a schedule full of power plays, and a city that thinks he’s a billionaire playboy CEO. Fine. If he can’t nap… he might as well rule. ------ Join my discord channel for illustrations: https://discord.gg/mSRHyMVhnG Bonus Chapters! *600 Power Stone = 1 bonus chapter *400 Golden Ticket= 1 bonus chapter *Magic Castle= 4 bonus chapters *Space Craft= 6 bonus chapters Important Note: No NTR, No Yuri, No rape.

"Elysium of the Fallen" is a novella in the mecha genre. A post-apocalyptic, scorched world, philosophy, psychology, sadness, melancholy, depression, and "Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations!".( I hope someone gets the reference.) Well, originally I planned to write some light-hearted novella with the usual "system" and harem, but... I will never allow myself to create something... like that. So, there won’t be any systems, harems, or Mary Sue characters here (well, I’ll at least try). Anyway, I’ll try to release chapters... as often as possible (considering that I’ll be writing two stories at once). If you don’t like something, don’t throw things at me, just write it and I’ll try to improve... well, that’s it... Good luck to everyone, thanks to those who will read, and I’m off to read a biblical apocryphon and drink my eighth espresso. Ciao!

The portal that spat him here left him with nothing but a name tag, panic attacks, and a recurring nightmare of a black dog chewing through the threads of time.

The real world has no use for knights... until the cracks in his sanity start leaking monsters even coffee can’t fix.

Alexander Langston died in an accident caused by a negligent laborer. Opening his eyes Alex was immediately bombarded with a fine view of green luscious botany. "What the hell just happened?" [User…. Alexander Langston will be granted Sword Sovereign System—- [Alex Hawthorn]  Age - [16]  rank - [fledgling]  Energy - [Devine] [Mana] [Qi] [Prana]  Tallent - [Sovereign]  [Stat—] "A system :D" As if to taunt the newly born transmigrator, the Aszura blue panel began to glitch and tear apart, as a dominant shade of red fiercely plastered its ominous message. Red was never a good sign.  "Why is it showing that?" [ERROR!] [ERROR!] [ERROR!] [ERROR!] [ERROR!] [ERROR!] [ERROR!] ….. [Unaccounted force hindering the symbiotic process] [ [Title] [Great one] is revoking the previous action]  [Sword Sovereign System (Nulled)]  "..." "what the fuck just happened?" In his former life, Alexander Langston was a coward who lived a mundane life of predictability, But now that he transmigrated into a new body... yet, it's shit. How about talent? It was equally as bad. He was now trapped in a novel he had enjoyed, which he had finished only three hours earlier. "Why did I have to transmigrate, and why this world of all places?!"

In a realm where the new gods and goddesses pull the strings of mortal fate, Shin Tempest isn’t a prophesied savior or a harbinger of ruin. He’s a man granted a second life — a reward for saving goddesses from certain doom. Cast into a futuristic fantasy world where lords rule by strength and cunning, Shin is determined to carve his own legend, not fulfill someone else’s. Armed with dual SSS-level talents and wielding the Stormpiercer Spear, a masterpiece of living lightning, Shin embarks on a journey to build the strongest kingdom of lords. A home for the outcast, the ambitious, and those searching for family. Beside him are only one storm dragon — his father with his mother being a different race in this new world, for now. To aid him, the two goddesses gifted Shin a powerful System, a mystical interface designed to give his fledgling domain a fighting chance. Missions, territory growth, and enemy kills feed it, earning System Points that can be traded for rare blueprints, artifacts, and summons through the System Shop. Optional challenges offer greater bounties, and the better Shin treats his divine overseers… the more unexpected surprises they promise to deliver. This is a harem-centric tale, though every bond forged serves more than desire. Each woman drawn into Shin’s orbit carries her own strength, story, and crucial role in the kingdom’s rise. From battle-hardened warriors to god-touched sorceresses and cunning diplomats, they are equals, conspirators, and sometimes rivals — all with stakes in the world Shin aims to shape. But ambition in a land ruled by meddling gods and ruthless lords has its price. While the goddesses who sent him wish for his success, and wish to see her grow to become their husbands. While others in the heavens are less forgiving of a mortal who refuses to kneel and old rivals of his family. No chosen one. No world-saving prophecy. Just a man, his people, and the empire they’ll seize together.

Author: Lone Raut Synopsis (Narrated by Deadpool’s Chaotic Cousin Who Forgot to Take Their Meds): Alright, gather ‘round, folks! Let me spin you a tale so dark it’ll make your therapist retire. Picture this: Yours truly was just another fancy-pants “man of culture” on a serial killer’s hit list—because apparently, collecting rare books and quoting Nietzsche makes you a target. Who knew? (Spoiler alert: I died. Surprise!) But death? Nah, that’s just the opening act. Instead of sweet oblivion, I woke up knee-deep in Saint’s Odyssey—a fantasy novel I once tossed into my “dumpster fire of bad writing” pile. Think Game of Thrones meets Saw, but with more existential dread. And guess what? I’m not the dashing hero. Nope. I’m the guy the author conveniently labeled “Villain.” Cool, right? (Cue jazz hands.) But hold onto your chimichangas, because this “hero”? Oh, he’s a masterpiece of hypocrisy. Smiles like a Disney prince, stabs like a back-alley surgeon. His grand plan? Wipe out half the world because reasons. Classic hero logic! Meanwhile, the gods are upstairs chugging ambrosia and betting on our suffering. Adorable!!!. Well, newsflash, Olympus—I’m hijacking this plot. Reborn with a vendetta and a PhD in chaos, I’m not here to play nice. Rules? Burn ‘em. Heroes? Crush ‘em. World domination? Duh!. This ain’t a redemption arc; it’s a blood-soaked takeover tour. Think Machiavelli with a splash of Joker and a side of espresso. They call me ruthless? Damn right. I’ll out-scheme the schemers, out-betray the traitors, and maybe burn a kingdom or two for aesthetic. The hero thinks he’s pulling strings? Sweetheart, I’m the puppetmaster—and I just cut the threads. Every battle’s a chess move, every ally a pawn, and the board? Oh, it’s dripping in red. And hey, let’s laugh while we’re at it. Ever seen a “chosen one” trip over his own halo? Poetic. Ever roasted a god so hard they literally combust? (Working on it.) This world’s a joke, and I’m the punchline—delivered with a knife. So buckle up, buttercups. The script’s flipped, the crown’s mine, and if the heroes cry about “morals”? Tell ‘em to write a Yelp review. This villain’s rewriting destiny—one corpse at a time. TL;DR: Death was my warm-up. Now? I’m here to conquer, crack jokes, and maybe commit some light treason. World, meet your new overlord. Resistance is hilarious . Hahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

In 2024 Los Angeles, twenty‑one‑year‑old programmer and struggling novelist Ethan Cole tests a homemade VR rig in his cramped apartment. A catastrophic malfunction catapults his consciousness back to July 1970—into his own seventeen‑year‑old body. Armed with five decades of technological breakthroughs, blockbuster-story blueprints, and insider knowledge of the entertainment industry, Ethan seizes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: to rewrite history. Under the alias “Michael Crichton,” he pens Jurassic Park and The Da Vinci Code before their original authors ever imagined them, funneling the profits into seed capital. With his high‑school friends and a handful of disillusioned engineers, he establishes NeonForge—a visionary startup that fuses the forthcoming innovations of Apple, ARM, and Sony into one retro‑futuristic powerhouse. By day, Ethan dazzles investors with prototypes of personal computers, arcade cabinets, and immersive VR demos decades ahead of their time. By night, he anonymously sells futuristic screenplays that reshape Hollywood’s golden age before it even begins. But prodigious success draws perilous attention. Government agents grow suspicious of NeonForge’s uncanny lead on emerging technologies. Rival entrepreneurs and corporate spies hatch schemes to steal Ethan’s designs. Campus protests over Vietnam-era politics threaten his secret lab hidden beneath the garage. And in the quiet moments, Ethan wrestles with the moral cost of erasing the future he once knew—wondering if the timeline can bear so many paradoxes. When a cryptic message appears on his prototype network—seemingly from another time traveler—Ethan realizes he’s not alone in rewriting history. To protect his fledgling empire and preserve the world he’s building, he must outwit unseen adversaries, master the volatile intersection of tech and culture, and unlock the mystery of the VR accident that shattered time. As NeonForge rises, Ethan teeters on the brink of godlike power: a teenager who commands the future. But the higher he climbs, the more fragile his world becomes. In a race against conspiracies, paradoxes, and his own ambition, Ethan must decide what he’s willing to sacrifice for the chance to become the ultimate 1970 American tycoon—and whether any future is worth forging at the cost of the one he left behind.

The Rare Chap Chronicles In a roaring-steam 1920s metropolis where women run the guilds, command the skies and outnumber men a hundred to one, a single misplaced bow is legally a marriage proposal. Into this clock-work matriarchy tumbles Harold “Hal” Forsythe—modern British tinkerer, accidental heart-throb and the first freeborn man the capital has seen in three years. Declared “decorative inventory” by his tyrannical Aunt Effie, Hal would much rather earn a proper craft-licence, upgrade his dead-panned automaton valet and sip espresso in peace. Instead he’s auctioned off to ambitious duchesses, pursued by an aquamarine-haired air-commodore, and courted (with paperwork) by the dazzling Grandmaster Engineer Lady Octavia Brasswell—all while his kettle-powered gadgets keep rewriting the rules of rune-driven technology. From dirigible duels and dragon-shaped automatons to guild coups conducted with custard bombs, Hal’s quest for a dash of autonomy may just ignite a social revolution—assuming he survives the paparazzi humming-birds, the Guild Council’s “Male Stability Act,” and the small matter of choosing up to four officially approved wives. Think P. G. Wodehouse let loose in a steampunk isekai and you’ll be “decidedly, permanently—gruntled.”

In a world of Were-beings there is a myth that the Moon Maiden awakens in times of need. With the world in chaos, and the current Moon Maiden spearheading the attacks. Just what is going on? Are the myths true? Will she save the tribes? or is everyone doomed to perish under her leadership? When a Fledgling Were-fox starts getting strange visions and begins changing, what will happen when she leaves home following her visions and the whispers that tell her she's the true Moon Maiden? Can she save the tribes and destroy the imposter? or will she be overwhelmed and killed before she can reach her potential?

In the tribal dawn of agrarian civilization, the world stretched boundless and veiled in primordial mystery. Through relentless exploration, our ancestors trembled before revelations that defied comprehension - a cosmic tapestry of domed heavens embracing a quadrangular earth, where celestial wonders descended like falling stars. Colossal titans pierced the clouds with skyscraper-sized limbs, their phantasmal silhouettes straddling light and darkness like living monuments. Sentient behemoths emerged from the earth's breath, their mountain-sized forms shimmering between corporeal flesh and ethereal mirage... Were these walking cathedrals of flesh the architects of creation, or omen of oblivion for fledgling civilizations?

Transported from Earth via "Project Seed," Raizen and his group land in Asvaria, a world serving as a cosmic game board for divine entities Aion and Erebos. Stranded in the harsh Noxvaria region, Raizen leads the struggle for survival, uniting disparate tribes and leveraging Earth knowledge combined with the world's magical energy, Mana, to establish the fledgling nation of Ebonhold. Their rapid rise leads to conflict with established native empires and breeds internal dissent. Kael, the group's brilliant engineer, grows obsessed with forbidden Mana knowledge and resents Raizen's cautious leadership. This culminates in Kael's devastating betrayal during Ebonhold's first major continental war, leaving the nation crippled and Raizen presumed dead. Raizen eventually returns, scarred and hardened, only to face a new, technologically superior enemy: the Obsidian Empire from another continent, also a pawn in the divine game. A fragile global alliance forms against this threat, but the conflict escalates. Raizen uncovers the horrifying truth – all mortal struggles are manipulated by the gods. As the intercontinental war rages, the gods themselves intervene, unleashing destruction and revealing their intent to reset their game by annihilating everyone. Recognizing the true enemy, the remnants of humanity must unite against their creators. Guided by ancient secrets left by a previous civilization (the Zaratharion, who also failed to defy the gods), they race to find a way to fight back. The final, desperate confrontation involves immense sacrifice, including a chance at redemption for Kael and a pivotal, costly move by strategist Veyra. Humanity ultimately neutralizes the gods, winning their freedom but fundamentally changing their world as Mana disappears. They secure the right to determine their own future, facing a challenging new dawn without magic, but finally free from divine manipulation.

In a world drenched in shadows and blood, vampires and hunters are locked in a brutal war. Lucian, once an ordinary man, is reborn as a fledgling vampire after being tamed by a ruthless coven.

As the war rages between vampires and the witchers sworn to exterminate them, Lucian must battle his own dark instincts, form fragile alliances, and master his newfound powers. His journey will be carved in blood, betrayal, and conquest as he rises from a fledgling into a force that neither hunter nor vampire can ignore.
