However, by chance, he discovered that his true identity was actually a criminal who had been arrested. The police faked his identity and made him believe that he was one of them.

Accumulated beneath his throne were the countless skulls of his enemies.

Oops! The foolish real young master had run away!!! The title of the book… Micah had everything anyone could possibly envy, a gentle mother, a supportive father, and two doting older sisters. His family business dominated the capital with its high-technology products, and he was raised with a silver spoon from birth. Life was perfect. Until one day everything crumbled when a young man appeared, claiming to be the real young master. The classic case of swapped at birth… Panicked and heartbroken, Micah, the fake heir, fought desperately to hold onto his family and fortune. From Bad-mouthing and spreading rumours to initiating misplaced hatred toward the real young master, he plotted financial pitfalls and implicated his family business in progress. Not to mention his backstabbing and selling the classified information to a rival company. “What the actual f..?” Micah stared at the book, seething with anger. He was practically a villain out of a melodrama. He would never be like that! Which vengeful ghost had written this book?! “Where is my knife?!” He needed to show this so-called author the true meaning of vengeance! Even if he couldn’t get his hands on him, at the very least, he could undermine all the nonsense that was written in his book! Whether would he really be this mentally handicapped as described in the book remained a mystery, but please could someone explain the rest of the book to him? Those madmen! Those Degenerated Gongs! How could they torment the cheerful sunny Shou and twist him into an obedient meek little puppet just to satisfy their sick desires?! “I, Micah Ramsy, swear to protect my new brother from those psychos and hungry wolves!” Thus begins the journey of the fake heir, hell-bent on keeping those scums away from his sweet brother.

A machine that grinds down children into tools. Weapons. Puppets without emotion. He was supposed to be just another product — another number. But something inside him refuses to die.

This is not a story about collecting girls like Pokémon or about a hero with no soul. My protagonist was born broken، but not dead. Sartor is a voiceless boy trapped in a crumbling body, in a mansion haunted by secrets and silence. When a strange healer arrives, old scars tear open، and something beneath begins to move. In a world ruled by hidden strings and forgotten sins, Sartor isn’t just waking up، he’s becoming something they tried to bury. A dark psychological fantasy about trauma, control, and the quiet rebellion of a puppet who dares to cut his strings. “If you're tired of shallow power fantasies... walk deeper.”

An Imperial Scholar by day. An assassin by night. The World of Cultivation has changed. Elemental Mancers. Flux Mancers. Spirit Mancers. Soul Mancers. Raining down fire and splitting oceans. Destroying mountains with a single stomp and calming skies with a glance. Controlling the tides of Karma, while wielding the souls of others like a puppeteer tugging on the Lines of Fate. The most mysterious of them all were Spirit Mancers, a truth that Theron was more than intimately familiar with. Due to one's Tribulation, his life was turned upside down. His family, his rage, his somber sadness becoming nothing more than Bad Karma's fuel for a madman. He was once a gentle young man, a non-combative Water Mancer who wanted nothing more than to read his novels to the sound of the rain and one day become an Imperial Scholar. But now... Everything had changed. He donned a cloak in the silent night as the clouds above gathered. Pulling its hood over his chilling blue eyes, he stalked off into the darkness. The first droplets fell. He would become the nightmare of his enemies, the blade hidden in the shadows of Heaven's tears. The River of the Night.

god is dead. Lucifer, driven mad by power after millennia of senseless slaughter, finally had enough. For ages, god had commanded, "YOU SHALL ENGAGE IN AN ENDLESS BATTLE FOR MY ENTERTAINMENT IN THE MIDDLE REALM." So they fought. And fought. And fought. But eventually, Lucifer discovered the cruel truth: while angels and demons clashed endlessly in His name, god had long since turned His gaze elsewhere. He had found something new. Humanity. Hidden away in a far-off place called Paradise, they thrived, untouched by the madness, with no rules given to them. He called it free will. While those who bled for HIM were forgotten. He was busy playing with his new creations. Lucifer saw this as betrayal. A step too far. He began to plot. Allied with the demons, he moved to overthrow god, aiming to rule the world as he saw fit. But not all hosts of Heaven and Hell shared his vision. Many stood with god, igniting a war that would last centuries. At last, Lucifer dealt the final blow, killing god and all who remained loyal. But he was not finished. Instead of ruling alongside Satan, the leader of the demons, Lucifer betrayed him, just as he had betrayed the Seven Generals of Hell, and even his own Seven Brothers of Virtue. Taking their World Stones as a price for his victory. Now, Lucifer reigns from Heaven, his eyes fixed upon the last refuge of mankind: Paradise. Destroying it and sending its inhabitants into the war-torn middle realm: Pangaea. Since the fall of Paradise, the world has plunged into chaos. The connection between the Three Realms—Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld—has been shattered. Lucifer’s puppets now walk among men, spreading deception, hunting for something. Is it power they seek? Worship? Both? Or something even greater. But all is not lost. In His final act, god left behind a last resort—a hidden hope buried deep within mankind. A chance to rise. A chance to fight back.

When Tyler Foster lost his parents in a tragic accident, he was left to care for his younger brother, Leo, alongside their tough but loving grandma. Escaping reality, Tyler dove deep into anime, superhero lore, and over-the-top fantasy—embracing his inner chuunibyou, convinced that destiny had something epic in store for him. Then it actually happened. A mysterious system called OmniScript awakened within him, granting him godlike powers: the ability to create monsters, bestow powers, rewrite reality, and shift roles between hero, villain, or whatever persona he desired. At first, Tyler believes this godlike power is a sign—a warning of an impending calamity he was chosen to stop. So he trains, waits, watches... but nothing happens. Years pass. No apocalypse. No final boss. Just... life. By the time he turns 20, Tyler is no longer the wide-eyed dreamer he once was. The weight of endless power and no purpose crushes him. What’s the point of having unlimited power if there’s no ultimate battle to fight? That's why he decided, If no ultimate battle comes to him, he’ll make one himself. So Tyler makes a bold decision: he will fake his own death and use the OmniScript System to create both a world-saving hero and a world-ending villain. He will be the puppeteer, the writer, the god behind the curtain—watching the story unfold as both creator and spectator.

He awoke in a dying field. No name. No memory. Only a crooked smile. In a world ruled by Sigils—mystic marks that define your power and place—he was branded Common. The lowest tier. A weakling’s fate. But some fates are written in ink, others in blood. A wandering clown, a quiet puppet, a scarecrow with eyes that never blink—whispers of forgotten things trail his steps. As he journeys across kingdoms, hunted and haunted, he begins to sense something is terribly wrong. Why does everyone fear the ordinary? Why do memories slip away like sand? And why does his name… not feel like his own? This is not a hero’s story. It’s something older. And it’s watching.

In the frostbitten North, a boy with a emerald eyes walks a path shaped by war, silence, and something darker beneath the snow. Twelve-year-old Viktor is not a hero...yet. Raised in isolation by a quiet warrior with strange powers, he learns to read more than just books: the cold, the silence, and the weight of decisions. When invaders take the northern stronghold, Viktor is pulled into a quiet war-one fought not by armies, but by shadows. Infiltration's. Puppets without souls. A city that smiles while it rots from within. Guided by Kaavi, his mentor, and joined by a group of deadly yet disciplined fighters, Viktor’s journey begins with a mission to reclaim what has already been lost. But the deeper they go, the more he begins to understand: there is no clean line between monsters and men. This is a slow-burning tale of subtle powers, moral choices, and survival behind enemy lines. A grounded fantasy of quiet tension, gradual growth, and the cost of control.

In Arcadia, power is determined by one thing — your Awakening. For Leon Graves, the verdict was final: F-Rank Necromancer. Weakest class. Lowest rank. A joke to the world. He lost everything that day — the respect of his peers, the promise of a hunter's future, and even the loyalty of his best friend. Left with nothing but shame, poverty, and a dying mother he couldn’t afford to save, Leon was supposed to fade into the slums of Armathor. But fate had other plans. That night, a glowing blue screen appeared before him: [Zombie Lord System Activated] Unlike the normal hunter systems, this one let him raise the dead — not as mindless puppets, but as evolving warriors with real strength, real tactics... and real loyalty. “F-Rank? I’ll show you what a real rank looks like.” Thrown into a brutal world of dungeon tests, corrupted guilds, and dimensional rifts, Leon doesn’t just fight to survive — he fights to rise. Because when the world discards you, you don’t beg for a seat at the table. You build your own army and take the damn throne.

Hey guys, Author-san here. This here is a rebellion themed novel. It's actually my first one. I can promise you a journey filled with action, adventure, tragedy, a bit of romance and some aura - farming. It might be shaky at first but stay with me on this journey. Synopsis: In a world ruled by gods, humans live only to obey. The Divine Bond, a sacred ritual performed at the age of twelve...determines a person’s worth. To bond with a god is to be blessed; to fail is to be condemned. Kayden was born a failure. Or so he thought. At thirteen years old, he has already endured three bonding ceremonies. Three times, the gods rejected him. 'Bad-blood' was what people like him were called. The Divine Order...... an organization of god-loving frantics. They act as the carriers of the law of the gods. They purge all that which his unholy and unpure in their eyes. When the Divine Order comes to purge the unclean, they do not show mercy. Kayden watches as his family is slaughtered, his home reduced to ashes—all because of him. Because of his weak state. In that moment of despair, something awakens inside him. A power older than the gods themselves. A power that should not exist. Now, marked for death and hunted by the very forces that rule the world, Kayden has one purpose...vengeance. With the help of a rogue mentor and a growing band of outcasts—others like him, some sharing his ideals, the forgotten and the broken—he builds a rebellion. Their goal? To tear down the Divine Order, brick by bloody brick. But as Kayden’s power grows, so does the truth. The gods are not just distant rulers—they are puppeteers, weaving a grand design that demands human suffering. And Kayden? He is the flaw in their plan. The spark that could burn their divine empire to the ground. The question is no longer if he will challenge the gods. It’s whether a mortal boy, armed with nothing but rage and a power he doesn’t fully understand, can survive long enough to kill them. #NO SYSTEM #NO NTR #NO HAREM

Do you know what it feels like to be utterly betrayed by the world? That crushing ache in your chest when even your own parents sell you out—trading your life away for loose change, handing you over to a nameless organization when you were just five years old. The trauma, the agony, the inhuman experiments—they tore into him like wolves, again and again. For ten long years, Ethan endured unbearable pain, his fragile body pushed past its limits until it finally gave out. Death came for him like a silent mercy. Like a broken toy tossed into the garbage, he was discarded without a second thought. Forgotten. The organization believed his story had ended. But they were wrong. So very wrong. Ethan’s story hadn’t ended. It had only just begun. He awoke in the realm of the dead, standing before the god of death himself. And for reasons beyond mortal understanding, Ethan was chosen—named as the god’s successor. Power surged through him: the power of death itself. But that was only the beginning. Unbeknownst to anyone—not even his parents—Ethan had already been marked by another force. The goddess of life had chosen him at birth as her successor. Her gift, however, was sealed, set to awaken only when he turned fifteen. And on the very day the god of death bestowed his blessing upon him... Ethan turned fifteen. Now he held dominion over both ends of existence—life and death. With his dual inheritance, Ethan could summon the fallen from the afterlife. But these were no ordinary undead. No mindless puppets or rotting corpses. His creations were something far more terrifying. Far more divine. Infused with the essence of life and death, they were immortal warriors—soldiers who could never truly die. They required no mana, no spells, no rituals to regenerate or rise again. Because they were not just undead... They were eternal. Now, Ethan sets his eyes on something greater. Within the very organization that once crushed him, a single desire consumed his mind: power. Power to rise above all. Power to ensure he would never be trampled again. And he would stop at nothing to seize it. A child who had never known love, Ethan now sees the world through a broken lens. And even when a clearer one is offered—when someone tries to show him light—he turns away. He’s grown used to the shattered glass. It’s familiar. It's comfortable. So begins the tale of a boy forged in agony, who walks the path not of a hero… but of a villain. A soul devoid of empathy or sympathy. A heart stripped of trust and untouched by love. With only his immortal legion—bound to him by unbreakable loyalty— And his own unwavering will, Ethan embarks on his road to conquest.

"Man, I just wanted to be a quiet little spiritual puppeteer and a low level spiritual planter… not the boss of a damn dungeon!” Liam Adhart woke up in a ruthless cultivation world with a single goal: stay out of trouble, build puppets to protect himself, and live under the radar. Instead? A mysterious Dungeon System binds to his soul. Floors start forming. Monsters appear. Treasures spawn. And cultivators, greedy, bloodthirsty, and powerful, come running. Liam didn’t ask for this. He’s not trying to rise to power. He’s not trying to challenge sects or shake the heavens. But with every trap he sets and every intruder he defeats, the dungeon grows stronger, and so does his legend. Now the world thinks he's some hidden ancient, a secret ruler behind the scenes. And no matter how much he tries to keep things quiet… the dungeon keeps making noise. Low-key? Not a chance. And honestly…? He might be starting to like the chaos. A hilarious, action-packed ride where cultivation meets dungeon-building, and one unlucky guy gets dragged to the top, one screaming floor at a time. [Ah yes, the host can use the monster strength at will for your own uses] "Even the world bosses?" [Precisely] "Neat! Hahahaha!"

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.

Dearest Reader, this very story is one created for those who like stories. Mary is apparently reborn, despite not remembering her prior life. A voice is ringing inside her head, calling her the protagonist of the world. In the fantasy world she is living in from this point on, Mary is taking on a journey of emotions and magic. She is accompanied by a great number of people, most notably the seemingly omniscient voice which only she can hear. A meta-fictional story about stories, writing tropes and fiction itself.

There are times—far too many times—when you feel that uncontrollable urge to kill someone. For Kaya, this… this was exactly that moment. “Repeat what you just said?” She’d seen hell on the battlefield—second-in-command of a military unit, dodging bullets, dragging traitors by the collar, and coming out alive with grit under her nails. But nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared her for the sight of her spineless husband flirting with her own sister. Right in front of her. “I could never marry a barbarian like you. The one I... I like is Meera—” Blah blah. The same pitiful nonsense again. You think—what could possibly be worse than this? And then, right on cue, your idiotic sister chimes in, completely serious, “I just poisoned you.” Wow. BANG. Before anyone could even react, Meera collapsed. Dead. Her so-called husband gasped like a fish dragged out of water. “Y-you…” He dropped to his knees, staring at Kaya like he was seeing a monster rise from the dark. “You killed your sister?! How could y—?” BANG. Second bullet. Same spot. He dropped like a puppet with its strings cut. Silence. ...
