Web Novel Only I Level Up

What if a power to level up or upgrade everything—your way of living, battle skills, military prowess, etc.—but this power is limited to your Eldritch tribe. Would you expand your tribe to rise above all adversaries, would you use it to gain more personal power or use it to toy with everyone? Lyerin wanted nothing more than peace on himself, but all he had was regret. He possessed a secret ability that allowed him to quickly excel at anything he chose, but he could only use it once. While others had to spend a long time to reach higher levels or master new skills, he only needed to complete a simple, specific task to level up. However, he had already used this ability to count a specific number of sand grains to save his own life. After that, his existence became a living hell. One day, he was unexpectedly sent back in time, where he would witness numbers appearing in the sky, signaling the end of the world again—an apocalypse he despised the most! But Lyerin realized he could use his ability once more, this time on a certain group of people. A TRIBE! ``` [ Ding! ] [ You have chosen to level up knife slash!

The universe has always operated by a single, unwavering law: "Survival of the fittest." This fundamental rule governs everything, living or non-living. It was this very law that Alastor found himself entangled with. Awakening in a forest on planet Earth, in a forgotten corner of the universe, Alastor possessed no memories of his life before the age of four. Growing up, he quickly learned the brutal truth of this society: power was the currency of respect and longevity. Alastor clung to the hope of unraveling the mystery of his past. But his hopes were seemingly crushed when his bloodline ability manifested as [Speed]. It was an ability widely considered weak due to its inherent limitations, doing little to enhance his standing in this power-obsessed world. Just when his dream of uncovering his past began to flicker and fade, a glimmer of hope emerged. The pendant he wore, a constant presence he vaguely remembered from his earliest memories, suddenly flared to life. It was his only tangible connection to his past. And then, a bright blue screen materialized before his eyes. ----- [SYSTEM DETECTED. HOST COMPATIBILITY CONFIRMED.] [SYSTEM INITIATING BINDING SEQUENCE...]

Emma's life had always been predictable—a mix of quiet luxury she didn't choose and routines she couldn't break. She was used to keeping a low profile, tucked away from the world’s scrutiny and the constant rumors about her mysterious "sugar daddy." But during what should have been an ordinary work trip, something extraordinary happened. At the airport, she crossed paths with Leon Gray, a man who felt like he’d stepped right out of the pages of her favorite romance novels—too perfect, too enigmatic, and far too captivating to be real. From the moment he spoke, Leon felt like he knew her, offering to turn her into the heroine she’d always dreamed of being. Of course, it sounded crazy, but there was something in his words, a pull she couldn’t ignore. Before she could even process what was happening, Emma was thrown into a whirlwind where nothing made sense, and Leon’s presence seemed to drag her deeper into a reality she didn’t even know existed. What was supposed to be a simple trip ended up changing everything she thought she knew about herself—and her past.

I was just a normal guy who wrote a novel called I Got Reincarnated into a Magical World, and it became pretty popular. But one day, when I was writing the final chapter, someone broke into my house and killed me. When I woke up, I was confused at first, but then I realized I had been reincarnated into my own novel. And to top it off, there were four new characters that I hadn’t created. By the way, the reason I wrote this novel was to gain some experience before writing my main novel, which, if done right, will be ten times better than this one.

Gideon Harley never asked for a second chance at life. In his past life, he was a venom tester, experimenting with the deadliest poisons on Earth. But when a spider’s venom unexpectedly tears through his body, he’s hurled into an entirely new world, Doktrine, a place where supernatrual and science intertwine. The twist is that he now inhabits the body of Axter Sauron, a 10-year-old boy with no memories of the life he once had. Currently being transported in a cargo with a bunch of other orphans on their way to Black Moon Clan, one of the most feared assassination clans in the world of Doktrine. In this world, every child awakens at the age of 10. The awakened child can then make a contract with a law beast, gaining the ability to shape their destiny. But while most awaken common powers, like increased strength or quick healing, Gideon’s new life brings a far more complex and dangerous gift. He can see the evolutionary pathways of beasts, guiding them toward unimaginable power. With his spider beast as his first companion, an entity tied to the laws of Fate, Origin, Time, and Fusion, Gideon’s journey is one of discovery, power, and chaos. Each ability comes with a price. His visions of fate can be misleading, the souls he sees can drive him mad, his ability to travel through time is unreliable, and his power to fuse objects could backfire. But with every trial, he grows stronger and more aware of the responsibility that comes with his powers. And the cost of survival; in this new world, he vows to survive at all costs. Yet, there are those who seek to control the beasts and the very Visionary Garden where all this power originates. As Gideon navigates this world’s web of politics, hidden agendas, and impossible beasts, he’ll have to learn what it truly means to control his fate, and whether he can avoid the catastrophic consequences of his actions. In a world where power is everything, can one man, bound by fate, ever truly escape it?

I never had any friends. Yes, there were people I called friends, but deep down, I knew they didn’t truly care about me, and I didn’t care much for them either. So, I did what I thought was right—I pushed them all away. I convinced myself that being alone was better, and for a long time, I didn’t hate it. But as much as I loved being alone, I didn't want to be lonely. I also wanted someone and something special—a real bond with someone I could call my Best Friend. I wanted to care, to be cared for in return. Then, against all odds, something I believed to be impossible happened. I found that person. For the first time, I cared for someone. I believed that I had found what I was looking for. But as time passed, I was forced to realize the cruel truth I had been too blind to see. Something I had tried my best to ignore. It was my biggest mistake. I was the only one who cared. I gave it my all only for it to be thrown away. In the end, I was left standing in the same lonely place. But this time, it hurt...

Nobody on Earth expected monsters to suddenly rush out from portals that appeared out of thin air. What happened was what would only appear in novels, mangas, or animes. Everything seems surreal. Unfortunately, for those who are in denial, none of this is a dream. This is REALITY. Rem’s "peaceful" life was shattered on that day. Many years had passed since then. Rem somehow ended up being the last human alive on Earth. She succeeded in defeating the Demon King. Despite all the rewards she received, Rem didn’t have the will to live anymore. Suddenly, a man in a white robe appeared before Rem. "I'm Alchit, the God of Light. Congratulations on your victory." 'What is there to celebrate? My family, friends, comrades... Everyone but me is all dead!' "What kind of god are you??! Alicht, the God of Light? More like A SH*T, the God of all sh*ts!!!" "HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! This is the first time anyone has insulted me like that. For that, I'll tell you a little something...!" Alchit leaned over to Rem's right ear and whispered: "This happened because I find things like this entertaining. You're simply a CHARACTER I took interest in. That's how you survived for so long." Before Rem could process what she just heard, Alchit ended her life ruthlessly with his blade. Was Rem going to die just like that? Yes! Of course, she is. Not even plot armor can protect her from this. How can a mere human survive any sword that pierced one's heart without dying? At least her death was quick and probably painless, right...? After dying, Rem got reincarnated into another world. The only problem was, she was reincarnated as a MONSTER. A monster that's the size of a CAT. Actually... Make that two problems. Rem can’t remember anything in her past life except for her first name, the day the portals appeared, some knowledge about the monsters she met before, being brutally murdered by Ash*t, and her immeasurable hatred for Gods. Having an annoying yet somewhat helpful system barely helps in the situation Rem’s in. "Why am I here, just to suffer?” Let's look at the bright side. Rem has another chance. A chance to get revenge in this new life of hers. Nonetheless, her priority right now is to survive. How will Rem survive in the current cat-sized monster body she's in? Will she ever succeed in getting her revenge? Can she get her memories back and uncover the truth? Join Rem on her journey and see for yourself! ——————————————————————— Tags: Adventure, Fantasy, FemaleMC, FemaleProtagonist, GameElements, Magic, MedievalWorld, ModernWorld, Monster, Monsters, Nonhuman, Overpowered, Portals, PowerfulMC, Rebirth, Reborn, Reincarnation, Revenge, System, Transmigration ——————————————————————— TOLS = The Only Leveling System ——————————————————————— ^Please note that everything in this novel is made up and isn't real.

A century before Earth's final collapse, humanity discovered a gateway to a realm known as Eternia — a fantastical world straight out of myth and legend.

He was a standout among his peers, excelling in every tasks that came his way. Everything seemed to be on track for him — until the pivotal day of the Class Selection process.

Six years ago, Arya's life was torn apart in a devastating accident that took everything from her. Now, she lives a quiet, unassuming life in Jaipur, working at a small flower shop and trying to leave the shadows of her past behind. But peace is fragile, and the shadows are closer than she thinks. Mysterious marigolds appear at her doorstep, each one a silent reminder of something-or someone-she can't escape. The eerie feeling of being watched grows stronger every day, but Arya convinces herself it's nothing more than paranoia. Until he walks into her life again. Shiv. Once her childhood protector and the son of her father's closest friend, Shiv was a man she trusted completely. But betrayal and tragedy changed everything. Now, Shiv is a cold, ruthless figure in the underworld-powerful, calculating, and terrifyingly distant. Yet when he sees Arya, something in his hardened gaze flickers, stirring the feelings she thought had died long ago. But Shiv isn't here to rekindle the past. He has his own reasons, and none of them are kind. In a shocking twist, Shiv proposes marriage. Arya is left reeling. Why would a man who once hated her family-and perhaps still does-ask for her hand? Is it part of a twisted revenge against the sins of her father, a cruel game to make her pay for something she doesn't fully understand? Or is there something darker lurking beneath Shiv's cold exterior? As Arya is pulled deeper into Shiv's dangerous world, she must confront the secrets that bind them and the growing tension between love and vengeance. Shiv's motives remain a mystery, but one thing is clear: his intentions could either destroy her or save her from the shadows that refuse to let go.
