Rise to Ascension: The Extra's Rebirth!

Kael was just a normal human at first, until a dungeon raid left him paralyzed with fear. After that, he resorted to hauling gear for various raid parties, clinging to survival in the only way he could. Soon, he became known across the guilds as a nobody—mocked for how slowly he leveled up. That reputation eventually led him into a high-risk dungeon raid that nearly annihilated the entire group. Kael died in that dungeon after making a reckless mistake. But amidst the chaos, he awakens a system—and is instantly brought back to life. Now, with hatred burning in his heart after witnessing the darkest depths of human cruelty, Kael returns with a new resolve. He enrolls in a prestigious academy and quietly levels up with the help of his system, all while staying in the background—letting others believe they’re the protagonists. In truth, he’s the puppet master behind every major event. Watch as a forgotten nobody rises above the so-called main characters, pulling the strings from the shadows—and rewriting their fate without them even knowing. ------------------ Hey everyone! This is my first time writing a “hidden boss / shadow ruler” type of story, so expect a slower-paced start. I want to build the world, the system, and the MC’s hidden moves properly before things spiral into chaos. It’s not an action-packed rush from chapter one—but trust me, the buildup will be worth it. This story is all about schemes, secrets, and that satisfying feeling when the “nobody” turns out to be the one pulling all the strings. Thanks for giving this a shot.

SpellxEdge Online: The Ranker Reborn as an Extra

Kaito's life was a slow fade, his youth stolen by a terrible, incurable disease that left him bedridden for most of it. His only comfort, his only way to connect with a vibrant world, was a full-dive VR reality headgear. It was actually medical gear, meant to help bedridden patients live in a digital world, but for him, it became everything. Inside that digital realm, the game SpellxEdge Online was Kaito's sole escape from his hospital bed. He poured his whole life into it, becoming the top player, ranking number 1 for consecutive years on the global arena across all servers. Then came the night the new server was released. Kaito, eager for new challenges, immediately put on his headgear and logged in. But the moment the device glowed, his body shook, and he died right there while wearing it. The next thing he knew, he woke up in Arcensis, the fantasy world where SpellxEdge Online's story mode happened. A System greeted him, telling him that gods were watching, and they all had different ideas about his new life. Some felt pity, others found him amusing, and some actually wanted him to fail in the world he'd grown to depend on. But no matter what they wanted, all the gods expected him to try his absolute best with this unexpected new chance. Thrown into this digital world as just an extra, Kaito was forced to start from rock bottom and work his way back to the top. He soon spotted many of the main cast from the game's story, from the powerful Grand Master to various professors and villains. But what Kaito really hated were all the super generic plots and characters in the game. He absolutely despised the relentless positivity and cheerful attitude main character who smiled through every problem, the ever-likable childhood friend who always liked the MC but never got him, the rival who was the total opposite of the MC, and the female lead stuck between the two. What challenges will Kaito face in this new reality? How will he grow stronger, and can he truly escape his fate of being an extra stuck at the bottom?

Ultima's Bite!

New Current Schedule- Minimum 2 chapters a day Mass Release Target- 5 golden tickets ____________________________________ [Novel synopsis]; In a world scarred by the rise of biomechanical warfare and the shadow of an enigmatic syndicate known only as Ragnarok, one girl stands at the edge of revolution. April, a seemingly ordinary 20-year-old living in the fractured remnants of a future society, hides a past drenched in trauma and secrets. Blinded and deafened during a harrowing attempt to escape her abusive father—a man who destroyed her family—April is forced into a life of silence and darkness. But everything changes after an experimental surgery implants nanotech into her skull, technology far beyond anything humanity should possess. Now, April sees without eyes and hears through a new kind of sense. The nanotech has awakened a dormant potential in her—a coded sigil etched behind her head shaped like an angelic wing and a spear. It’s not just a symbol. It’s her Gear, a powerful combat system linked to ancient animalistic and Zodiac powers—each wielder embodying a creature of legend. Hers? A spear-born sigil capable of shattering mechs and bending digital space. When she joins a covert organization aiming to dismantle Ragnarok, April discovers she’s not alone. Other Gear users fight beside her: Jax, the brilliant strategist; Saya, the deadly calm blade; Kai, a hawk-gear user with a fire-forged past; Dante, the powerhouse with unmatched resilience; Juno, the data genius cloaked in mischief; and the Leader, a figure shrouded in mystery who knows more about April’s past than he lets on. As April navigates brutal missions and high school halls alike—where rivals like Tessa Lane threaten her sanity with cruel mind games—she must balance normalcy and the battlefield. Every encounter pushes her closer to the truth: about her powers, her family, and Ragnarok’s true purpose. But none are more telling than her growing connection with Astra, a lone Gear user with platinum hair and a piercing gaze. Astra has the power, the knowledge, and a burning desire for vengeance. April needs her—but Astra isn’t so easily convinced to join a cause she doesn’t trust. The deeper April digs, the more the lines blur between ally and enemy. With Ragnarok’s agents—like the cold and calculating River Hoss—looming on the horizon, April must decide who she’s willing to trust, who she’s ready to fight, and how far she’ll go to protect what little she has left. The world doesn’t need a hero. It needs a weapon. And it just found one.

Stellar Fragments

Stellar Fragments: When Steam Meets the Void, Who Will Light the Last Star? The morning mist over Port Belen reeks of rust. Zhou Mingrui never expected a crumpled oilcloth bundle, scavenged from a dockside jump, to tear open a rift to the Astral Plane. But when he unwraps it—a leather-bound book with a seven-pointed star embossed on its cover, its pages swirling with constellations—he feels a primal pull, like the stars themselves are whispering his name. This is 1873, and Port Belen is a city teetering between progress and chaos. Steam engines roar, but the clocks tick backward. Corpses in morgues scribble "Eclipse Prayers." Dockworkers go mad, screaming of a "whale with a thousand eyes." All roads lead to Stellar Fragments, a forbidden text rumored to hold the key to stopping the Astral Leviathan—a colossal entity slumbering in the void, its awakening marked by the "Void Solstice": when seven stars align over Port Belen, and reality itself begins to unravel. "You have the Starwatcher’s mark," says Claire, the scarred astrologer of the Night Owl Society, sliding the book across a creaky oak table. Her brass bracelets clink with constellations. "The last Starwatcher vanished a decade ago, leaving only this warning: When the seven stars kiss the Void, the Leviathan wakes. Only the Starwatcher can anchor reality—by becoming part of the stars themselves." But Zhou is no hero. Just a grad student of 19th-century occultism, now trapped in a game of cosmic stakes: A steam-powered astrolabe explodes in his hands, its needle pointing to "Void." A noble heiress’s "spirit pigeons" grow feverish, pecking at the sky where the Leviathan’s "void eyes" glow. The city’s Eclipse Value—measuring the breach between worlds—creeps up: 0.01%, 0.03%, 0.05%... In the flickering light of an old church basement, the Night Owl Society gathers. Seven "Astral Artifacts" lie scattered: a moonstone gear humming with pale light, a cracked whistle that silences mad machinery, a pocket watch frozen mid-tick… Five more remain. Without them, the Leviathan’s shadow will consume Port Belen. But Stellar Fragments holds a final, blood-chilling clue: "To bind the stars, the Starwatcher must bleed." That night, the Leviathan rises. Its gargantuan form breaches the mist, scales glinting with countless eyes, each one staring at Zhou Mingrui—and the book clutched in his hands. He grips Stellar Fragments, recalling his professor’s words: "Occultism isn’t about controlling the cosmos. It’s about finding light in the dark." Now, with nothing but flesh and starlight as his weapons, Zhou must decide: Will he become a star to stop the void… or be swallowed by it?

To Love A River

In a dystopian future where Vampires emerged from the shadows in order to stop humanity from becoming extinct, a young woman with a dark past meets a charismatic stranger. As time goes by Private Love Aikawa of military Unit 4-7, finds that she may not be as human as she first thought. Battling rogue vampires, mutated creatures and her own past, Love works to unravel the mysteries behind the secretive Helsing unit, and tries to become the bridge between humans and vampires in a world filled with discrimination.

The Enchanting Beast Tamer

This is a female-led LitRPG / progression fantasy with: Beast taming, crafting, and enchanting XP systems, stats, and a game-like interface No harem, no insta-romance (but maybe a spark or two later) Worldbuilding, strategy, and survival Think: “sweet-looking girl, cold eyes, and a sharper mind than her blades.” If you're here for romance, come back later. If you're here for mana-fueled evolution, you’re in the right place. Please Add to Library so I can gauge interest :) More interest = More chapters --------------------------------------------------------------- {“Congratulations. Integration has begun. You have been successfully registered to the Sentient Interface for Survival, Tactics, Evolution, and Mana—S.I.S.T.E.M.”} { “Beginning synchronization. Warning: this may sting.”} Pain wasn’t the right word. Evisceration, maybe. Every nerve in her body caught fire. Her bones shrieked. Even her hair hurt... "Thank fuck that’s over," she whispered {“My apologies. At most, you should have experienced a minor headache. Your soul seems to contain… a great deal of trauma”} She laughed—sharp and broken. "Ya, no shit. Oh and, no offense, but your pain scale’s a bit off." A pause. Then, the voice continued—same tone, but just a hint more human. {“Noted. Adjusting pain calibration bias by 12%. Thank you for your feedback.”} --------------------------------------------------- When the world fractured, mana flooded reality—and everything changed. Cities fell. Machines exploded. Technology died. Sam didn't ask to wake up in the wreckage of a world reborn. She didn’t ask to inherit a stranger’s body, an experimental AI system, or a perk called Double Double that doubles everything... except the danger. Armed with strange knowledge from two lives, a sarcastic built-in assistant, and a pair of kittens with more bite than fluff, Sam begins her Integration into a world where magic and nanotech don’t just coexist—they compete. No class. No gear. No clue. But when the System speaks, Sam listens. Mostly. If the monsters don’t eat her, the adventurers might. But first—dinner, naming the cats, and figuring out how to enchant a frying pan ---------------------------------------------------

Action Bound Hearts Of Flame And Frost.

ABOUT THE STORY: "Action Bound Hearts Of Flame And Frost" takes place in a modern Earth-like world called Earthen where elemental spirits, angels, and demons exist in secret. Most people don't know these beings walk among them - but Phenics and Yuki are on the front lines of a war between our world and the Abyss. _____ THE MAIN CAST: Phenics Amaterasu (Lead Male - Tsundere Type) He's fiery, stubborn, secretly kind under all the snark, and of course, super bad at expressing his feelings (especially toward a certain icy girl). His powers stem from his Phoenix Spirit, giving him control over blazing flames, crimson wings, and combat-enhancing astral armor. He's also ¼ human, ¼ angel, and ½ Phoenix Elemental Spirit - so yeah, he's complicated. _____ Yuki Yuuki (Lead Female - Kuudere Type) Cool, composed, and deeply emotional beneath the surface. Yuki is Phenics' childhood friend and partner in battle. She doesn't say much, but when she does, it cuts straight to the soul. Her powers are from her Ice Spirit heritage - she's a Yuki Onna (Snow Woman) with ice manipulation, spirit-enhanced martial skills, and killer frost-glare energy. Also ¼ human, ¼ angel, and ½ Ice Elemental Spirit. _____ Kazuya Hayashi (Male - Loyal Best Friend Type) Phenics' other best friend and the "big brother" energy of the group. He doesn't have spirit blood, but he makes up for it with strong spiritual awareness, energy-enhanced equipment, and a grounded sense of calm. He's brave, chill, and maybe too good at keeping secrets. _____ Miko Aihara (Female - Energetic + Spirited Type) The heart of the team. Miko is Kazuya's closest companion and often drags everyone into being a bit more... human. Like Kazuya, she's fully human but spiritually gifted. Her style leans more toward agility and charm in battle, using sacred gear and talismans.

I've Got A Mana Processor In A Magic World

In a world where mana nodes inherently decode spells, acting as the pre-built magical processors of all mages, Zephyr awakens with just a single node, putting him at a disadvantage. Unconcerned with fame or glory, he initially shrugs off this profound limitation, even dismissing his father's final and seemingly useless gift. But when a relentless spiral of uncontrollable events threatens his very existence, Zephyr has to figure out a way to utilize his inherited legacy. His survival now depends on understanding the fundamental nature of mana nodes and how they tick in a world that takes the process for granted.  His method of conscious processing pushes the boundaries of conventional magic and draws the attention of formidable world powers and ancient noble houses. As Zephyr delves deeper, he begins to uncover disturbing truths about their world and the very origins of magic itself.  How would he navigate this treacherous landscape where every discovery could be his last? What to expect: - Unique power system that draws inspiration from modern processors. - Extensive character development and world building. - No harem - MC starts out weak and capped. Power is earned. - Mana cores, mana nodes, spell processing, noble houses, knowledge gatekeeping, great world powers, hidden factions, a touch of sci-fi, multiple worlds, soft kingdom building... Things to note: - I've got a mana processor in a magic world is going to be long. - The start might feel a bit slow as the world, characters, and power system get fleshed out, but things kick into high gear after the first major conflict. Updates : Daily. (7 chapters a week)

Dragonic Rebirth: Legacy of Buné

warning this synopsis is AI generated Seventeen years before the events of High School DxD, a powerful soul is reborn into a new world—a world brimming with devils, dragons, and gods. This soul awakens as the last scion of the extinct Buné Clan, one of the original 72 Pillars annihilated during the Great War. The child, born of a human mother—an artificial warrior created by the Sigurd Institution—carries within him the powerful Boosted Gear, and a latent affinity for dragons and swordsmanship beyond his years. At six years old, he regains the memories of his past life and the vast knowledge once lost to death. With this awakening, he sets a new path forward: one that intertwines ancient draconic legacies from Fairy Tail (including 100 Year Quest), the mystical chaos of Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, and the sacred timeline of High School DxD. In this fusion world, dragons rule both sky and myth, with familiar beasts such as Igneel, Acnologia, and the Chaos Dragons reshaping the supernatural balance. The MC traverses realms to gather strength and ancient knowledge: Dragon Prince Tensura Moonlit Fantasy Arifureta a/n: I do not own any of the works used in this fanfic Though he avoids assembling a peerage at first, he eventually forms an all-female roster—warriors, mages, and dragons across dimensions—devoted not only to him but to his vision of a multiversal alliance against an ancient evil threatening all worlds. Unlike others, he does not receive his Evil Pieces until much later, through a mysterious method involving remnants of the Buné sigil and lost demonic rites. As the High School DxD canon unfolds, the MC walks beside and sometimes in the shadows of major events—guarding Issei, allying with Rias, clashing with Vali, and challenging the very destiny imposed on devils and dragons alike. With the lost swords of Sigurd in hand, Boosted Gear blazing, and the knowledge of a thousand dragons, he will carve a new fate across worlds, balancing human heart and draconic soul.
