I WAS ABOUT TO MASTER THE YELLOW SWORD---BECOME UNSTOPPABLE—AND THEN BOOM! A WHITE JADE BEAUTY AND MY TRUSTED SECT DISCIPLE BETRAYED ME. NEXT THING I KNOW, I’M DEAD. But guess what? I’m back. Once, I was the Supreme Lord of the Four Realms, feared by gods, demons, and arrogant sect elders alike. At the peak of my power, I was betrayed and struck down by those I trusted the most. Now, I’ve been reincarnated into the weak, bullied body of some no-name disciple. My divine abilities? Gone. My legendary cultivation? Reset to zero. My patience? Nonexistent. But that’s fine. If I have to start over, I might as well have some fun. Sect elders looking down on me? Slap! Arrogant young masters trying to bully me? Slap! That treacherous white jade beauty? Oh, she’s getting more than a slap. I’ve got ancient wisdom, unmatched skills, and a lifetime of grudges to settle. The path to power begins again—and this time, I’m taking no prisoners.

In a world where magic is currency and the magically gifted reign supreme, Erin is nothing. Born without a shred of power in a society that discards the weak, Erin spends his days hauling demon carcasses for copper coins—just enough to keep his sharp-witted elder sister Aria in school and their dying father alive. But when his father collapses from the same sickness that stole their mother, Erin’s fragile world crumbles. With no money for medicine and Aria’s future slipping away, he gambles on the one path left: the Trials of Ascension, a brutal gauntlet where the magically elite compete for glory in the Overlord’s three legendary orders—the cunning Vigil, the unyielding Sentinels, and the shadowed Wardens. Armed with a rusted shovel, his father’s cryptic pendant, and a rage that burns hotter than any spell, Erin enters a world of glittering nobles and lethal trials designed to break the powerless. But in a system rigged to favor magic, his greatest weapon isn’t strength. It’s defiance. Can a gravedigger outlast mages born to rule? Or will the weight of a magicless existence bury him first? A storm of grit, sacrifice, and brotherly love. For fans of Black Clover, where the overlooked rise to shatter the chains of a broken world.

"Dark Monarch: Apocalypse World" — Tearing Apart the Cage of the Apocalypse, A Blood-Soaked Epic of a Cold-Blooded King "I don't want to die—I want to live." This is the cry of the protagonist, Dudian, and the struggle of millions of survivors in the apocalypse. Within the Great Walls, humanity rots. After 300 years in ice, the king returns. A meteor catastrophe ended the old civilization, forcing survivors to cower behind towering metal walls. A deadly virus ravages the land, monsters roam freely, and the twisted webs of power and faith strangle what remains of human morality. Dudian awakens from cryogenic sleep to face this ruined world—where humans hunt demonic beasts to gain "Mark of the Abyss" powers, where nobles and the Holy Church manipulate a hollow order, and where, beyond the walls, the undead and the schemes of the Dark Church silently spread. From genius to demon, every step he takes is drenched in blood. Once an ordinary man from the old world, Dudian is forged into a ruthless overlord through betrayal and despair. His first love dies imprisoned, framed for crimes she didn’t commit. His closest friend sells him out for profit. The woman he cherishes turns into a walking corpse, and he is powerless to save her... In the cracks between warring factions, he masters alchemy to forge weapons, tears apart lies with cunning, and carves his rebellion with an iron will—vowing to shatter the Great Walls and end this man-made doomsday experiment.

In a fractured world, humanity is confined to scattered enclaves, isolated by towering walls that protect them from the relentless horrors beyond. The land outside is a wasteland, ravaged by monsters and dark forces that once nearly wiped out mankind. These horrors, an unrelenting force of destruction, have shaped the history of humanity, pushing the survivors into a desperate fight for survival. Centuries of conflict have left the world scarred, and while the walls hold, the threats grow stronger, more cunning, and ever closer. At the heart of this crumbling world lies Blight, a young boy with a lineage tied to both the ancient and the cursed. Born of a bloodline that once held great power, his very existence is marked by both immense potential and an unsettling dark gift. His bloodline, twisted and forgotten by time, holds the key to untold abilities—powers that could either turn the tide of battle or doom all of humanity.

The war is over—but the scars are fresh. A brutal ten-year civil war has left humankind and Earth exhausted. Fintan, the only undefeated Captain of the war and a hero of the losing side, is offered a poisoned olive branch: command of the UES Loss, a patchwork starship cobbled together from the wreckage of fallen fleets. Her crew? A volatile mix of war-weary veterans, bitter enemies, and unwilling allies drawn from all sides of the conflict-winners, losers, and those who stayed neutral. Their mission: to venture beyond the Light Wall, a massive man-made wall of light shields that surround the solar system to protect it from the other occupants of the universe. It’s been a hundred years since the last Earth ship crossed the light wall, the only remembered boundary between known space and the forgotten. But what beings as a desperate bid for redemption soon becomes a pulse-pounding journey through uncharted galaxies, ancient alien ruins, cosmic threats, and long-buried secrets that could rewrite humanity’s place in the universe. Along the way, tensions simmer, loyalties are tested, and unexpected romances spark amidst the chaos. For Fintan and her crew, survival isn’t guaranteed-but the chance to shape a new future is. If they can learn to trust each other, they might just become the legends the galaxy never saw coming.

At dawn. The light of dawn lingered, hesitant to arrive, while the remnants of the setting sun had long faded into darkness. Within the city shrouded in thin mist, the hidden churches in the shadows, veins clinging to the cracks in walls, the gnawing sounds echoing from the sewers, and the murmuring shadows... A lantern bearer strolled forward.

He then gets trasmigrated into a world of hunters, gates, and monsters. . .only gender roles seem to have been reversed. Men are weaker, smaller, whereas women are more dominant, stronger, and usually taller. Also, the reason gates happen is because most of the monsters are women, and require men from other dimension to breed their population so. . .yeah.

For centuries, humanity has lived under an illusion—a veil of powerlessness woven by the rulers beyond the S-Wall. These unseen overlords, the Saints, drain Earth’s mana, keeping humans weak and oblivious to their true potential. The world’s superpowers serve them as puppets, enforcing their rule in exchange for dominance over their fellow humans. But resistance brews in the shadows. In the forbidden lands of Zeta, where ancient civilizations once thrived, a secret war rages between the imperial families and a faction known as Twilight—a rebellion seeking to restore humanity’s lost power. Enter Alexander—half-human, half-Saint, an outcast caught between two worlds. When his father, a former Twilight operative and the bastard son of the Emperor, is assassinated, Alexander stumbles upon a hidden truth locked within a mysterious ring. The memories within reveal his father’s final mission: to overthrow the Saints and break the chains binding humanity. Hunted by imperial assassins and drawn into the deadly power struggle between noble houses and rebels, Alexander must master his unstable mana, uncover his lost heritage, and carve his own path in a world where trust is a dangerous gamble. Will he reclaim the power stolen from humanity, or will he become just another pawn in the endless war beyond the S-Wall? A tale of betrayal, power, and destiny begins.

[WSA 2025 ENTRY] MATURED CONTENT In Cinder Pack, one out of the seven superior packs, abandoned children on the streets are considered less than the pets owned by many households. They live from hand-to-mouth, covered in dirt and used however those from better families deem fit. As a result, many of them die from starvation at very young ages and those with good-looking appearances sell themselves off to better families in order to live.   While a select few resort to stealing food and taking the crumbs that fall off the table of those of noble birth. This is the case for Aurelia Night and her childhood best friend, Lydia Hayes. But her already miserable life takes a darker turn when she overhears a conversation she shouldn’t.  To hide from the evil men seeking to take her life, she spends the night with a stranger… who kept murmuring something about her being his mate.  The next morning, she is brutally betrayed by the only family she has and hauled off a cliff to die — but she survives. Though she loses her memory, she doesn’t lose the twin boys growing in her belly… Now, seven years later, she has become a reputable member of the rogue community, whose population was quickly declining.  Given the task to kill the head of the hunt itself, Cinder Pack’s twisted and ruthless Alpha, Axton Wolfe, a man who takes relish in the most gory things in life, she finds a way into his residence, working as a maid.  Unaware of the plot on his life, the usually conserved and ruthless man with a hatred for timid and weak things, is disgusted when he finds himself repeatedly drawn to the seemingly timid and weak maid in his residence.  But the harder he craves her, the more she despises him.  That is… until she finds out a shocking truth about him.  When ‘kiss’ comes to shove and she has to sink a knife into his heart to live, will she? … To clarify: There will be quite a number of grim things.  Male lead is more than morally grey, twisted, obsessive and possessive. Female lead is tough, thinks on her feet, can stand up for herself, but has no wolf… so a damsel in distress.  Enemies to Lovers? Definitely.  Smut? Well, male lead is OBSESSIVE AND POSSESSIVE!  (I don’t know how long this novel will be, but definitely over 300 chapters.) Welcome to Aurelia Night and Axton Wolfe’s tortured love story.
