Jujutsu Accursed

> In a world where demon outbreaks tear through cities like wildfire, only the elite Rankers stand between chaos and annihilation.

But when a mission goes wrong, and she’s forced to shield an innocent child with her own body, a mysterious boy named Dev appears from nowhere—his timing perfect, his aura unknown, and his presence... unsettling. From cursed zones to tangled emotions, Anya’s world begins to fracture—and within the ashes, something stirs. What happens when fire touches ice? “Ashes of the Void” is a fast-paced anime-style fantasy drama filled with demon battles, squad bonds, emotional awakenings, and sparks of romance.

Akiyo Oshima was a successful man, with wealth, status, and a perfect life. However, by giving in to the temptation of betrayal, he awakened the wrath of the one entity he should have never angered—his girlfriend, Sayuri, who turned out to be Death itself. As punishment, Sayuri cursed him. Akiyo was stripped of his identity, his form, and even his gender. In every world, a new body would be created for him, allowing him to inherit memories and a random aspect of personality. Now, he must live as Shizune Accursed. But her new existence was far from a second chance. Trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnations, Shizune awakens in different worlds, with no control over her fate. And in each of those worlds, there's always a Yandere she has met or will meet, whose obsessive love inevitably leads her to her death—whether by possessive love, madness, or simply the need to have her all to themselves. Condemned to die over and over in the arms of those who love her in twisted ways, Shizune, in an attempt to understand the burden of manipulating others’ feelings, finds herself on a dangerous path. Will she survive and break this curse? Or will she remain forever trapped in a cycle where love is uncontrollable and always leads to death? Whether in a fantasy, futuristic, or modern world, where anything can happen, the question remains: who is really on Shizune's side? Are they allies she can trust, or just more Yanderes waiting for the perfect moment to seal her fate? Among men and women, even within her own family, Shizune will need to figure out who she can truly trust… before it’s too late. Discord server link to view images = https://discord.gg/c5m4H2jnw9

What the hell is this? I was reincarnated in the novel “Breaker of Destiny,” which I read as the protagonist. What is the protagonist? No, the third-rate villain, Ash von Agnus, the illegitimate son of the Emperor, the most hated person in the novel, is initially a minor antagonist in the novel, and he serves as a starting point for the hero and is destined to die in the most tragic ways, but regardless of this, this accursed world is headed for ruin. Oh, whatever, nothing connects me to my previous world, no family, no one, I was alone and I still am, nothing has changed. For better or worse I will live this life. I still remember all the details of the novel, and with my knowledge I will kill, survive, change my fate, and save this damned world.

The sky, once majestic and brimming with divine radiance, now crumbles into a shadowy gloom, shattered by cataclysms that annihilate all celestial glory. The earth, once fertile and teeming with life, has withered into a desolate wasteland, trampled underfoot by legions of dark creatures—demons, devils, and vengeful spirits that roam in bitter triumph. This world no longer belongs to the holy; it is a new kingdom for the outcast, dancing upon the ruins of God and His Entire Heavenly Host. Yet amid this ruin, the One Accursed—a figure destined to submit to fate—rises instead with thunderous defiance. Rather than accept defeat, he rallies the remnants of the angelic armies, commanding those still loyal to the light to rebel. With blind conviction, they challenge the dark forces that now hold the throne of the cosmos, deluding themselves as bearers of the one true righteousness. But is their resistance merely an illusion? Or is this the dawn of a new curse—an eternal cycle where the damned become rulers, and the rebels mere pawns in a far darker game? The battle rages, no longer between light and dark, but between arrogance and a destiny already etched into the dust of annihilation.

RIFTWALKER: The Rise of the Successor By Atharva_Srivastava When monstrous Rifts began tearing through reality and devouring entire cities, humanity’s only hope became the Riftwalkers—elite hunters awakened to enter the chaos and fight back the darkness. Alan is one of the youngest and strongest Rank V Riftwalker— a prodigy with a haunted past and a fire that refuses to burn out. Ever since a Rift took his family, he's fought not just to survive… but to protect. Now, alongside his childhood friends Levi and Reika, Alan dives deeper into the most unstable Rift zones, where death waits at every corner — and something far worse is waking. Within the deepest Rifts lie ancient divine trials, hidden from all but the chosen few. To overcome them, one must prove not strength, but sacrifice. Courage. A heart that still believes — even when the world turns to ash. As the boundaries between light and dark blur, Alan is forced to confront a legacy buried in myth… and a power destined to either save the world — or end it. Riftwalkers is filled with mystery ,dark secrets, betrayals and unexpected plot twists. If you like Jujutsu Kaisen, Solo Leveling , or Attack on Titan, this is your next obsession!!

In a world where Jujutsu sorcery has nearly vanished, and the strongest sorcerers lie buried beneath centuries of curses, one boy remains: Soya Gojo — the last bearer of the Six Eyes, born with the name of legends but cursed with broken vision. Years after Gojo Satoru’s death, Japan is plagued by horrific new curses called Jinmen — human-faced beasts born from shattered humanity. Sorcerers are few, hope is fading, and the ancient institutions that once protected the world lie in ruins. Soya, still just a student, fights to uphold his family’s legacy — not out of pride, but purpose. He believes the Jujutsu Age must endure, even if his Six Eyes no longer function as they once did. With fragments of Gojo’s vision and a new, unstable power of his own, Soya walks a tightrope between salvation and self-destruction. He is not alone. Riku, a quiet boy with terrifying potential hidden behind kindness. Hayate, a corrupted soul wielding a curse that eats away at everything — even his humanity. Megumi Fushiguro, a lone survivor still chasing the light Gojo once embodied. As the Jinmen evolve, and Domains twist into surreal nightmares, a greater mystery unravels — the rise of a blue-haired man, who creates cursed humans and moves like a ghost across history, manipulating the battlefield behind the scenes. At the edge of this dying era, sorcerers must ask: Is the revival of Jujutsu worth the blood it demands? And if Soya, with broken Six Eyes, cannot see the future clearly... who will? “The era of Jujutsu isn’t over. Not yet.”

Kairos was just a reader. A guy with too many bookmarks, too little sleep, and a dangerously obsessive attachment to webnovels. His favourite? I Reincarnated into a Cursed World as an Extra—the story of Varek, an ordinary person summoned to a world of monsters, curses, and prophecies. A world originally created in another novel: Ashes of the Accursed. Kairos knew both stories. So when he woke up in a world after dying, he thought he’d been granted the dream every reader wants: to become the protagonist. He was wrong. He woke up in the same world where Varek was summoned. The same world he read about. He’s now Ronan, a third-rate noble and a forgettable villain, meant to die early in the book. A footnote in someone else’s story. How will he survive a transmigration inside another transmigration story? ------------------------------------------------------- There will be daily updates with about 10 chapters a week at 1400hrs PST/2100hrs GMT or four hours latter.

The Accursed World of Terra cursed its people. The Deities ensured that there would be no peace with death, and from there they would rise again, with the retention of their former intelligence, but no longer the same person.

A rebellion foretold eons ago, mankind descended upon a world of death and despair, and from there, with power and authority, stability shall be brought forth. All the while, uncovering the secrets of the old powers. Behold! The Emperor Of Man Rises! --- Author's Discord Server: https://discord.gg/QykfUHd6Ta

Kyros Steele was the strongest warrior in the Omega Kingdom. But when the Great War of All began, this kingdom fell. Kyros was captured. Destined to become a slave through necromancy, Kyros could only curse at his led bitter life. But on his final moments, he meets an eccentric Old Man who claimed to be the God of Time. Much like Kyros, this Old Man was fated for suffering and defeat. Because the God of Time could not be killed, the Great Gods conspired to curse him and make him human first. And so the God of Time escaped but was now human. Even if he used his powerful magic to send his consciousness back in time, he would still be defeated, for his soul was no longer a god but a man. Helpless as his time-traveling rebirth would easily fail, the God of Time offers and asks for Kyros's help. He would send Kyros back along with his own consciousness back in time. This would hide the God of Time from his enemies and give Kyros the chance to fulfill his revenge. Just when the two were about to time travel, a shocking mystery caused the God of Time to marvel in awe. Kyros was not a human but had the bloodline of the most accursed and dangerous race of all. Kyros is the legendary Nephilim. And so begins the Ascension of the Nephilim.

In an alternate version of our world, Essence—a metaphysical energy flowing through all living things—shapes the very fabric of reality. There are three primary types: the Essence of the Spirit, the Essence of the Soul, and the Essence of Nature. This power fuels the eternal battle against Lingering Souls—humans who refuse to pass on to the “Other Side,” instead bringing chaos and death to the living. To combat these threats, the Neavu Ritualist Society was formed—an order of individuals skilled in Rituals, Sigils, and the manipulation of Essence. Thrust into this strange and dangerous world, a boy named June takes up the path of a Ritualist in hopes of fulfilling his dead friend’s final wish. Souls, demons, spirits—twisting through a world where reality bends beneath Rituals and ancient powers. What awaits in the shadows? And what kind of place… is this? (I don't know shit about the U.S so spare me please. I'm inspired by Jujutsu kaisen, Monogatari and Rezero, so expect a lot of elements from various series (: )

(!The credit for the Book Cover goes to the creator, it isn't mine!) It is a hard living in the new age of the modern world, on Earth. Especially if you did not have any Abilities; it was the case for Quinn. His parents were ambassadors, and secretly, Assassins working for the 'greater good'. Wars were quite a frequent occurance on Earth, leaving only ravaged remains of the once beautiful planet. Although, the once frequent wars had stopped and the world finally entered a fleeting age of peace, the larger powers were in a deadlock and in high geopolitical tension. The majority of the interstellar planets and bases were owned by Capitalist powerhouses that held only base value in high regards and sought after strong trans-humans: an evolved species of Humans that were compatible with Ability Dews that were found on alien planets and could extract and use different types of supernatural Abilities themselves. Quinn's parents were sent on an obvious su**ide-mission on the battlefront of some planet by the Governance of Earth, to 'fight and serve' their home-planet by fighting off the opposition consisting of a terrorist group called the "Elementals", and secretly, a whole another unknown enemy... Receiving their last, parting gift, Quinn got his hands on something that was completely out of scope for normal Humans, or any other intelligent race that could possibly or ever will exsist. It was of unknown origins when his parents found it, and only he would be the one to discover its true functioning and creator. He would become something that was nothing like a Human... he would forsake his life and living, only to find the truth about the artefact and why it chose him. He would fight enemies of the peaceful inhabitants of Earth in hopes to protect those that he once loved, when he was still Human. Furthermore, he would fight other beings in the shadows of different realms; discover secrets of the Universe and the one above it all. No, not God; nor the Great Old Ones. Nay, not even the Outer Gods. But, the one and only... above creation itself: a dream that birthed it; the Absolute Being. Existing in the Real World, out of this wretched Dream of his. Only by meeting his real origins and awakening, would Quinn be able to escape this accursed cycle that only he knew the truth of; alone, would he protect the mortals... in hopes of protecting only those that he loved.

Sarus Fortress is a titanic bastion of stone, steel, and sorrow—an ever-expanding bulwark built by the Bullard Empire to encircle the accursed island at the world's end. Beneath that island’s ashen skies lie the shattered hearts and skulls of three dead gods, whose corpses still fester with divine malice. From them crawl endless horrors—monstrosities birthed from madness and spite—that claw relentlessly at the walls of reality, seeking to unmake all mortal life. To sustain the fortress and fund the eternal war, the empire long ago enacted the Tithe: a grim tradition that claims lives in lieu of taxes, conscripting men, women, and children alike into the grinding teeth of its war machine. Here, survival depends not only on strength, but on adaptation. Soldiers wield heirlooms that are passed through blood , channel blessings from careless gods, command alien spirits, and harness Mori—the lingering essence of the dead. Through the Bonding ritual that is performed by the followers of the great unison the graft the flesh of the enemy onto their own in desperate bids for power is common place . And yet, despite all this, the dead gods’ corruption spreads. This is the tale of five conscripts claimed by the Tithe—five souls bound not by blood or banner, but by the absence of home. A salt miner who murdered his kin to claim their mori-born magic. A disgraced noblewoman clawing her way back from exile with charm, spite, and ambition. A glass-winged pixie the size of a thimble, who named herself after her favorite animal and chose to follow humans out of love. A disillusioned blessed Apothecary who seeks a purpose as he lost his. A Veteran soldier born into the Fortress who has undergone the Bonding more times than she can remember, all to live up to the memories of her parents. Together, they are thrown into the gullet of war not as saviors, but as offerings. Whether they will survive—or change the shape of the world in their struggle—is a story still unfolding beneath the an unending sky.

Enjoy my first work. ~ Drake Zoraiz was a ordinary young black man, maybe with a little more of an realistic view of the world than most of the people. He had been living his life in the world as an mercenary, until he was left for dead after a truly brutal mission where everything that could go have gone wrong, does. As an atheist for most of his young orphaned life, he was not expecting anything waiting for him after his death.

[Beastmen, reverse-harem, R-18+] *** They called her blessed. Chosen. A savior of their dying bloodlines. But what savior was locked behind walls? What kind of honor smelled like rot and desperation? Through the past centuries, the Hale Family was one of the last ancient lineages with thick, untainted alpha strands able to produce Spirit Beast Maidens who became brides of the ruling archons in the beast world. The females born to them were fated—no, bred—to carry the next generation of Enigmas to keep the bloodline purity at all cost. Now, it was Asha Hale's turn. People often tell she was fortunate to be born with a diamond spoon. Yet deep in her soul, Asha knew how her fate was much worse than a lowborn. She was a relic in a museum. A commodity. A cage bird waiting to be sold. Born to breed. Raised to birth. Destined to be a broodmare and conceive some strangers'— those beastly creatures' offsprings. 'A broodmare...' The words echoed in her mind like bile on her tongue. No matter how much they smear gold and glimmers to cover her inevitable truth, Asha already knew how much more dreary her future was than that of a homeless person. She was born a prisoner of an accursed future woven by the pact her ancestors made with the beastmen of Genos. There, she reckons how life is unjust for the weaklings and Asha could only rely on herself to survive this ordeal. Since those beasts wanted to use her to secure power, then she’d make sure they regretted it. For as long as she could stay alive, she’d make them bleed for her. Crave her. Until their whole damned world tore itself apart for making entire life just unbearably shitty to live in. Or so she intended.
