Crimson Tower

In a world dominated by seven super-corporations, the Longevity Species that always occupied the pinnacle of power didn't allow for the enactment of written laws. The Floating Islands of prisons delimited by lines on the map, where resources would inevitably run out in the future... People yearned for the birth of a true "Hero," yet they cynically awaited the fall of a Hero from grace. As long as one was hailed by the media as a Hero, even murder could be forgiven, and every word they said would be adored. Even high and mighty Elves dared not provoke the edge of a Hero. But if a Hero of the past committed even a minor offense, the moment their image crumbled, the forgiven sins would flare up like an inextinguishable furnace, and the stars of yesterday would instantly become unforgivable criminals... "—Come become a Hero, Russell." The most vicious criminal in the world thrust a knife into the boy's hand, whispering a low enticement. —————— Solo female lead, Beast Ears, Spiritual Energy, Mechanical Angels, and other elements. Cyber-fantasy. Please refrain if not to your liking.

A boy has to climb a tower facing enemies all while trying to survive and make it back his homeland.

"The gods abandoned us. The orbs are waking. And something far worse is about to open its eyes." Palmer has never truly belonged—not to the noble vampires who see him as an abomination, nor to the humans who fear what he is. Bound by an ancient oath, he serves the Montgomery family, protectors of a relic powerful enough to decide the fate of every living thing. But something is wrong. The factions—skinwalkers, wraiths, werewolves—they’re not just hunting anymore. They’re organizing. They’re preparing. The Church, once a pillar of faith, now whispers with the voices of things that should not exist. And at the center of it all… is him. "Your blood is neither holy nor cursed. You don’t belong anywhere… And that is exactly why you terrify them. They never saw you coming." His past is clawing its way back—a twin brother who once swore they would protect each other, now his most ruthless enemy. A mother whose ambition stretches beyond life and death. A secret so dangerous, even the gods turned their backs on it. "You’ve spent centuries suppressing it, haven’t you? But you can feel it now, can’t you? The thing that’s waking up inside you?" They think they’ve seen his limits. They think they know what he is. They’re dead wrong. Because Palmer isn’t just a vampire. He is something else. Something not meant to exist. And when he finally stops holding back—no one will be able to stop him.

It’s a wild ride of resilience and rebirth.Will she rise to the occasion, or will this new adventure prove to be her greatest challenge yet?

When the world stood on the brink of destruction, consumed by the might of an all-powerful darkness, humanity prayed for salvation. They wished for the light—never realizing that their desperate plea would bring a curse far worse than the darkness itself. Seven hundred years ago, in its most desperate hour, the world summoned a group of legendary heroes from another realm. These warriors, blessed with extraordinary abilities, united under a single purpose: to vanquish the almighty Dark Lord. Through sheer determination, teamwork, and a stroke of fortune, they succeeded, delivering the world from its greatest nightmare. The kingdom rejoiced. The people celebrated their saviors with parades, songs, and endless praise. But victory had changed the heroes. Power, once a tool of salvation, had become an addiction. The taste of worship, the ease with which they could bend the world to their will—it was intoxicating. The heroes, who were meant to be symbols of hope, refused to leave. They crowned themselves rulers, shaping the world in their image. What was once light had become a deeper, more terrifying darkness. Now, centuries later, their descendants still reign—oppressive, immortal, and untouchable. No one dares to oppose them… until Mary, an ordinary young man with no talents, no abilities, and no destiny, does the impossible. By sheer accident, he kills one of the ruling heroes. Now branded a traitor and a threat, Mary is left with only two choices: run and die… or keep fighting and become something even more terrifying than the legends themselves. Because if one hero can fall, then so can the rest. And Mary? He’s just getting started. ..........

Miguel Tañon is a retired construction worker, a lifelong gamer, and a man searching for purpose after the loss of his wife and the growing distance from his adult children. When he volunteers to beta test a revolutionary fully immersive VR game, The Tower of Infinitium, he sees it as a chance to rekindle his love for gaming and escape the loneliness of his everyday life. But the game is more than just a simulation—it is a world governed by an advanced AI, Eos, and an ever-evolving Tower filled with challenges, hidden lore, and dangers beyond imagination. Unlike traditional RPGs, there are no fixed classes or skill trees—everything must be learned, mastered, and shaped by the player’s ingenuity and determination. At first, Miguel takes his time, slowly building his skills, forming bonds with the villagers, and uncovering hidden quests that most testers overlook in their rush for power. However, when a cataclysmic event—triggered by a hidden chain quest—unleashes a beast tide, Miguel is forced to fight for survival. In a desperate moment, he unknowingly unlocks a forbidden power, awakening the Necromancer class by resurrecting the boy who had come to see him as family. His overwhelming power surge shatters the balance of the Tower, altering the game’s very fabric, triggering system-wide anomalies, and forcing the AI, Eos, to make an unprecedented decision—to pull Miguel’s consciousness into the game’s core to preserve his life. Now, unable to log out, Miguel is no longer just a player—he is becoming part of the Tower itself. As the real-world technicians struggle to understand what’s happening, and his children begin to question his absence, Miguel must navigate a world that is changing around him, responding to his presence in ways no game should. The Tower is evolving. New forces are awakening. And Miguel is at the center of it all. But is he still just a player? Or is he becoming something else entirely? ---

An innocent heart, a ruthless soul—entwined by danger, destined by fate.

The Legend of the Seven Fates… There once was an ancient library filled with all the knowledge in the world. The keepers of that library were the fates.       The fates were named Regalia, Clara, Melodie, Amara, Mia, Desirae, and Gailia. The fates were tasked with knitting scarves for the destiny of all mortals with plain material like wool, cotton, and yarn. One day the fates get an anonymous gift and the youngest fate, Gailia opens it.       Since Gailia is a fabled fate, fearless and immortal, she pulls on the string of the glowing box without caring to read the letter that was sent along with it. Gailia sees a glittering purple silk laying in the box and quickly stops knitting her boring destinies to make her new masterpiece.       As Gailia knits her new scarf Desirae, the sixth fate, takes note and decides she wants a masterpiece too. So Desirae stops knitting her plain cotton destiny and chooses a sparkling sapphire silk instead.      Mia, the fifth fate, walks by while knitting her almost finished yarn scarf and is drawn to a fiery looking carnelian. Mia sits down next to her two sisters and starts to finish this nearly finished scarf with the new and energetic carnelian.      But the fourth fate, Amara, is tired of not getting enough attention as the middle most fate. So Amara plans to knit her next mortal destiny as well as she can manage with a strong deep black diamond silk.       Melodie, the third fate, gasps at her sister’s neglect in knitting mortal destinies and grabs a deep emerald silk to show her older sisters. But the power in the silk overwhelms her and she instead collapses on the ground. Not knowing what else to do she skillfully knits a complex and delicate pattern into her newly acquired powerful jade silk.      Clara, the sixth fate, walks by and notices her sisters knitting something beautiful with a strange new material. Clara knows she’s never seen anything like these materials so she shouts for her eldest sister. Regalia, the oldest, knows what has happened and instantly goes over towards her younger siblings.       Regalia hopes that she can make it in time to stop Clara from falling into this trap as well. But as Regalia bursts into the library her skin turns pale. All of her younger siblings are knitting part of their lives into mortal destinies.  Even Clara is standing a few feet in front of Regalia knitting a destiny out of shining gold and silver. Regalia nods because her sisters have already chosen their paths.      Regalia wakes her sisters and picks up a dull and colorless grey silk that pulses with raw potential. The sisters know their mistake and follow Regalia as they knit a prophecy over top of the silks.       The seven fates knit a faith-filled prophecy out of the stable earthly silk and connect this to a place they call The Tower of Destiny. They write down that one day the chosen will unseal the library of knowledge at the top of The Tower.      They can only hope that whoever does this will be kind enough to revive them so that they can continue knitting mortals in order to save the world. Though as the sisters take their last breath before slumber that can’t help but have faith.

Lin Feng had always been a professional procrastinator, a connoisseur of mediocre web novels, and a firm believer that superstitions were nonsense. So when he bought a cursed blood-red necklace on a whim, he laughed off the shopkeeper’s ominous warnings. Then he got stabbed. Now, he wakes up in a new world—trapped in the body of a half-witted noble disgrace with shattered meridians, mocked by servants, ignored by his family, and destined for a miserable, forgotten life. But something is different. The necklace… it came with him. And it isn't just cursed—it's hungry. In a world where cultivation determines fate, where families backstab each other with a smile, and where the strong crush the weak without hesitation, Lin Feng should be doomed. He has no talent, no allies, and no path forward. But he does have one thing—a mind that isn’t nearly as broken as people think. So let them underestimate him. Let them sneer, laugh, and scheme. Lin Feng will play the fool, twist their expectations, and weave his own web from the shadows. After all, when the world sees you as a joke, they never see the knife coming.
