Kagura Tutorial

Lanz Kuroda failed his Awakening Test in the most spectacular way possible, he didn’t just rank low, his ass got slapped with an FFF. He was locked out of the system entirely, and sent home like the rejected tutorial character that he is. But when a cracked relic crystal he bought from a sketchy street vendor activates, it boots up something the world shouldn’t even know exists, a hidden system that logs him into an old, forgotten alt account, one with no level cap, restrictions, and absolutely zero oversight. By day, Lanz is still the same guy that no one aspires to be. But at night? In the dungeons? He becomes Zero, an anonymous hunter operating outside the system, clearing high-tier raids solo, and slowly building a legend no one can trace. The world thinks he’s a joke. He’s about to become its biggest problem.

Pada tahun 2100, umat manusia diperkenalkan dengan game VR full dive revolusioner yang disebut 'Omega'. Namun, permainan ini bukanlah teknologi buatan manusia, melainkan diberikan kepada umat manusia oleh kekuatan yang lebih tinggi untuk mempersiapkan mereka menghadapi kebangkitan pertama. Ini hanyalah sebuah tutorial dan cara untuk secara halus mengalihkan spesies primitif dari berpikir bahwa mereka sendirian di seluruh alam semesta, menjadi terintegrasi ke dalam alam semesta yang sebenarnya.

Bertempat di alam semesta di mana ras fantasi seperti peri, naga, dan vampir bukanlah mitos tetapi pemain kekuatan yang nyata, manusia dengan cepat mengetahui bahwa mereka adalah salah satu ras terlemah untuk bermain 'Sigma'. Dalam masa-masa yang sangat putus asa ini, manusia beralih ke pemain profesional terbaik mereka untuk keselamatan. Max, adalah seorang jenius di dunia Omega dan dianggap harapan umat manusia setelah kebangkitan pertama. Namun, sebuah kecelakaan melumpuhkan urat mananya dan membuatnya dinilai sebagai sampah tanpa mana di Sigma!

Selama sepuluh tahun sejak kebangkitan pertama, ia menjalani kehidupan sebagai sampah tanpa mana dan menjadi pemakan bawahan di masyarakat, perlahan kehilangan kebanggaannya, kepemilikannya, dan akhirnya identitasnya. Pada akhirnya, ia menghadapi kematian yang tragis dan menyakitkan saat gagal menyelamatkan keponakan dan keponakannya dari penyerang. Namun, itu bukan akhir dari cerita Max tetapi hanya permulaan karena ia bereinkarnasi kembali ke hari sebelum kebangkitan pertama sebelum kejatuhannya dimulai! Dengan bersenjatakan pengetahuan masa depan, saksikan bagaimana Max mencapai puncak dalam hidupnya yang kedua dan melawan takdirnya dengan ketahanan dan keteguhan.

Kelvin Santos was just another teenage footballer with a dream, to play under stadium lights, to score the winning goal, to have his name chanted by the crowd. But in the most critical match of his life, under the crushing weight of fear, he failed. One mistake. One weak pass. One stolen ball… and the game was lost. With guilt eating away at him, Kelvin believed it was over. That he didn’t have the talent. That he was never meant for greatness. Until a glowing screen appeared before his eyes: [Player Progression System Activated] “You have been registered as a Host Candidate.” “Mission Tutorial: Show Your Potential.” “Score 10 goals in the top-right corner within 2 days.” From that moment on, Kelvin's world changes. With stats, missions, and skill rewards guiding his journey, he's given a second chance to rise, not just as a player, but as someone who dares to challenge the limits of fear and failure. But the system doesn't guarantee success. It only shows the path. Can a failure become a legend?

He shattered the heavens… and got isekai’d into a crazy desert survival game! Xu Tao cultivated for ten thousand years, defying death and destiny to reach the Divine Heaven Immortal Stage. But just as he touched the heavens— The heavens kicked him into a world based on a full-dive VR game. Now he’s got no Qi. No weapons, no cultivation… and no pants. Just a desert full of monsters, a glitchy “Lost System” that won’t shut up, and knowledge forged from millennia of clawing his way to the top. Enemies? Weaklings. Mystic beasts? Drop garbage loot. Level caps? He’s Xu Tao. He didn’t spend ten millennia chasing immortality just to get wiped by a scorpion in a tutorial-zone! But he’s definitely not here to play. He’s here to ascend—again.

Kael Voren has never known the feeling of a full belly. Born in Brinewatch, the beast-plagued slums of Ashport, hunger is his oldest companion -- gnawing at his gut, his dreams, and his place in a world that values strength above all. When his sixteenth birthday comes, Kael awakens to the misery of an E-Rank Talent: Advanced Digestion. Not strength. Not speed. Just the ability to eat garbage without dying. But beneath this feeble Talent lies a dormant truth -- an insatiable void tethered to an unfathomable potential. A hunger not for food, but for power. Everything changes when Kael inadvertently devours fragments of Prana and Chakra -- powers that create and shape reality itself. Powers that were supposed to be beyond the reach of a gutter rat such as himself, but were made available to him by Advanced Digestion. These stolen sparks awaken something ancient inside him: a nascent, skeletal system. No interface. No tutorials. Just a stark warning burned into his mind and a void calling out from within - devour everything! What he has awakened is not a talent. It is a trait. XXX-Rank Trait: Inner Universe Creation. But it is embryonic -- barely functional, missing structure, support, and a will. To unlock its power, Kael must build from nothing. Piece by blind piece. Trial by brutal trial. Fueled only by his desperation to protect his family and claw his way out of the grave Brinewatch was supposed to be. In secret, Kael creates an RPG World inside his trait -- a universe he rules, where monsters can be spawned, skills mastered, time bent, and power devoured. There, he forges his own path, his own system, and his own strength. But the hunger never fades, it only grows. And as his enemies close in and betrayal tears his world apart, Kael makes an oath: I will protect my family, and I'll devour everything that stands in my way. From starving boy to High Human Emperor, from discarded E-Rank to system god, Kael Voren’s rise will shake the stars. A dark fantasy progression epic of hunger, creation, revenge, and ruthless evolution. For fans of cultivation, RPG systems, and protagonists who build their own power from the blood-soaked dirt up. Publishing Schedule: (2) 1,500-2,000 Word Chapters/Day

Xavier wasn't expecting much from today—maybe a boring meeting, definitely some subpar coffee. What he didn’t expect was a silver lance aimed at his neck, a teenage girl with the attitude of a war-hardened NPC, or getting dragged across several floors like a human mop. When an encounter with a very aggressive seventeen-year-old turns into a rooftop revelation, Xavier learns the impossible: he’s an Executioner, born with a power called a Gate—and monsters are out to kill people like him. No, he doesn’t remember signing up for this. Yes, it’s apparently non-refundable. Add in a teleporting hallway, a superpowered girl who clearly skipped the empathy tutorial, and a muscle-bound giant that could double as a building—and Xavier’s world is flipped upside-down faster than you can say, “I’m hallucinating now.” It’s his first day as an Executioner. He’s already regretting everything.

“I was supposed to die in the tutorial.” When I opened my eyes, I was in the body of Kai Lorne, an irrelevant extra in the novel 'Hero’s Vow'—a character that dies in Chapter 3 during a mock battle. I knew the plot. I knew the main characters. I knew the cheat system the protagonist was supposed to get. And somehow… I got there first. [SYSTEM BOOTING...]> [ERROR! Host mismatch. Forcing integration...] Now the original protagonist wants his power back. The world wants me dead. And the gods watching this story? They’ve taken interest. Let them come. I’ll rewrite fate. I may be an extra—but I have the hero’s power now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ additional tags: Slice_of_life, No-yuri, No-NTR, Genius MC, Hidden_Identity and Power, Magic, Weak_to_Godlike, Story_Alteration, Demons, Swords, Tragedy, Grim_dark.

The world toiled thoughtlessly along its cyclically monotonous ways as it had for recorded history, when its efforts and advancements one day met the requisites for integration with the multiverse, opening the door for them and all their new planetary neighbors to the reality hidden behind their own. Tom was no exception to the habitually uniform nature of the world and it’s inhabitants before their integration, apart from an eager infatuation for martial arts and meditation. He finds himself forced into a qualification tournament of the most naturally gifted human beings deemed by the ubiquitous 'System' for all of the multiverse to see, in hopes to impress one of the plethora of Gods that control the hierarchy of the multiverse. After reaching the top 10 in a Tournament of his planets most gifted warriors, Tom was selected as the Chosen of one the most feared and revered God's in the multiverse. Tom and his friends are then thrusted back onto their planet, undergoing a global Tutorial introducing beasts and humans alike to the many laws of the multiverse. There they are tasked with nurturing a budding faction stemming from a humble beach settlement. They, along with allies accrued throughout their adventures must navigate their magically malicious new world and its many diverse biomes and creatures, as well as their power hungry fellow man if they hope to enact a stable global faction before the end of their planets Tutorial. Schedule: TBD Author Note: This is a Progression LitRPG, and my very first novel. I'm rather ahead in chapters on other platforms, which are available on Patreon both for free & paid options.

Aasal Hayes just wanted to sleep in on his only day off. Instead, he wakes up to a glowing blue window telling him he’s been selected to enter the mysterious Tower — a world-spanning system filled with monsters, mana, and players racing to climb their way to power. Humans across the world awaken dormant Talents. His? [Talent: Clone] — Another You! While Aasal, groggy and annoyed, blindly clicks a glitched option and gets sucked into Error Difficulty, his newly spawned clone calmly selects Normal Mode… and gets to enjoy a tutorial, a class, and a properly functioning interface. Now Aasal is trapped in a corrupted, broken version of the Tower — filled with unreadable system messages, reality-warping monsters, and impossible leveled puzzles. The system barely recognizes him. The UI is unstable. And he’s not sure he’ll ever be allowed to leave. Meanwhile, his clone is thriving in Normal Mode — rising through the ranks, gaining fame, building power, and becoming everything Aasal could have been. The Tower forgot him. But Aasal is still learning. And if he can’t leave… He’ll master it from the inside.

In another life, Xu Luan was a revered cultivator — Grand Elder of the Righteous Sect, and certified grumpy immortal. Now? He’s a glorified tutorial fountain. After sacrificing his body and summoning 1,000 gamers from Earth into a war-torn wuxia world, he watches in horror (and mild amusement) as they punch demons, throw cooking talismans like grenades, and build castles in the shape of ducks. What was meant to be a desperate gamble to save the realm is quickly spiraling into a chaotic MMO sandbox.

Leonardo Salvius Nox was born to die in the mines—just another faceless soul carved from the stone of oppression, disease, and lost dreams. But when a mysterious stranger gifts him a glowing stone at a moonlit festival, Leonardo is thrust out of his grim reality and into a realm where his life was fiction, death is negotiable, and trauma awaiting him. Now labeled the [Uninvited Guest], Leonardo becomes an anomaly—a living glitch in the Museum and Realms. Thrust into the surreal halls of the Museum of Narratives, he discovers with only a fading past and a fractured identity, he is assigned a purpose he never asked for: become a Tour Guide Practical Officer and dive into the Deplorable era; but before that—a "quick" tutorial. But the deeper he journeys, the clearer it becomes—this isn’t about fixing stories. It’s about rewriting his own.

Almond Crowshade adalah manusia terakhir yang selamat di dunia yang sekarat, di mana penduduknya gagal menaklukkan lantai ke-30 Grand Abyss Labyrinth tepat waktu. Dunia sedang hancur, dan Almond adalah yang terakhir menantang Lantai ke-30 berulang kali meskipun ada ancaman kehancuran planet yang sudah di depan mata. Dia akhirnya mengalahkan Boss Lantai dengan napas terakhirnya dengan mencapai kebangkitan sejati, memperoleh Ciri peringkat X yang melambangkan potensi tanpa batas. Namun, dia menang tetapi tidak ada rumah atau masa depan untuk apa yang ia perjuangkan. Tapi sebuah sosok misterius datang ke sana, merasa kasihan dan terhibur. "Ini adalah mainan yang terlalu berharga dan menyenangkan untuk dibiarkan membusuk di sini. Kamu akan bereinkarnasi dan naik untuk membuat segalanya lebih menarik." [Transfer ke dunia lain dimulai…] [Kenanganmu akan disegel, dan kamu akan bereinkarnasi di dunia lain yang telah menyambut tutorial Grimworld seperti ini. Menyelesaikan setiap lantai dari Grand Abyss Labyrinth akan membuka sebagian dari kenanganmu, hingga Lantai ke-10 di mana kamu akan mendapatkan semua kenanganmu.] 'Aku memberimu kesempatan kedua. Kali ini, kamu harus menyelesaikan tutorial Grimworld dan melangkah ke permainan besar untuk membuat segalanya menarik dan menghibur.' [Semoga sukses.]

Almond Crowshade era o último humano sobrevivente em um mundo moribundo cujas pessoas não conseguiram conquistar o 30º andar do Grande Labirinto do Abismo a tempo. O mundo estava sendo destruído, e Almond era o último a desafiar o 30º Andar diversas vezes, apesar da destruição iminente do planeta. Ele finalmente derrotou o Chefe do Andar em seu último suspiro ao alcançar um verdadeiro despertar, adquirindo um Traço de classe X que significava potencial ilimitado. Mas, infelizmente, ele venceu mas não havia um lar ou futuro para aquilo pelo qual ele lutou. Mas uma figura misteriosa chegou lá, sentindo pena e divertimento. "Este é um brinquedo precioso e divertido demais para deixá-lo apodrecer aqui. Você irá reencarnar e subir para tornar as coisas interessantes." [Transferência para outro mundo iniciando…] [Suas memórias serão seladas, e você reencarnará em outro mundo que recebeu o tutorial de Grimworld como este aqui. Ao limpar cada andar do Grande Labirinto do Abismo, você desbloqueará uma parte de suas memórias, até o 10º Andar, no qual você obterá suas memórias completas.] 'Estou lhe dando uma segunda chance. Desta vez, você deve limpar o tutorial de Grimworld e passar para o grande jogo para tornar as coisas interessantes e divertidas.' [Boa sorte.]

Almond Crowshade war der letzte überlebende Mensch in einer sterbenden Welt, deren Bewohner es nicht rechtzeitig geschafft hatten, den 30. Stock des Großen Abgrund-Labyrinths zu erobern. Die Welt wurde zerstört, und Almond war der Letzte, der trotz der bevorstehenden Vernichtung des Planeten den 30. Stock mehrmals herausforderte. Er besiegte schließlich den Stockboss mit seinem letzten Atemzug, indem er ein wahres Erwachen erlebte und ein X-Rang-Merkmal erwarb, das grenzenloses Potenzial symbolisierte. Leider hatte er gewonnen, aber es gab keine Heimat oder Zukunft mehr, wofür er gekämpft hatte. Doch eine geheimnisvolle Gestalt tauchte auf, die Mitleid und Belustigung empfand. "Dies ist ein zu kostbares und unterhaltsames Spielzeug, um es hier verrotten zu lassen. Du sollst wiedergeboren werden und aufsteigen, um die Dinge interessant zu machen." [Transfer in eine andere Welt wird eingeleitet...] [Deine Erinnerungen werden versiegelt, und du wirst in einer anderen Welt wiedergeboren, die wie diese das Tutorial der Grimwelt begrüßt hat. Das Klären jedes Stockwerks des Großen Abgrund-Labyrinths wird einen Teil deiner Erinnerungen freischalten, bis zum 10. Stock, auf dem du deine vollen Erinnerungen zurückerhältst.] 'Ich gebe dir eine zweite Chance. Diesmal musst du das Tutorial der Grimwelt abschließen und ins große Spiel einsteigen, um die Dinge interessant und unterhaltsam zu machen.' [Viel Glück.]

Died once? Unlucky. Died twice? Suspicious. Got dumped into a new world as a six-year-old chakra-deficient orphan? Now that’s just rude. Meet our unlucky protagonist: once a modern-day rich guy with a loving wife, two kids, and a garage full of mid-life-crisis cars—until fate slammed the brakes with a truck. Reincarnated again in a world where everyone can absorb chakra from the air like free Wi-Fi… except him. Yep, our boy’s basically running a cultivation emulator on potato specs. But fate's not completely cruel—he’s gifted a Tutorial System by a fed-up god who’s tired of watching him die like an NPC. The catch? It nags more than a grandma and upgrades slower than a government app. With a half-drunken master who forgets mid-lesson, a world where punching mountains is normal, and a chakra system locked tighter than grandma’s candy jar, can our accidental cultivator rise to greatness? Or will he die a third time—this time from embarrassment? Brace yourself for absurd power levels, epic fights, weirdly wise drunkards, and the slowest glow-up in cultivation history. This isn't your usual "chosen one" tale—

After a decade of clawing through brutal Gates, top Ranker Ace Avalanche finally storms Heaven’s Gate—only to learn Earth’s apocalypse was just the tutorial. He cashes in his one wish and wakes in his broke teenage body, three months before the first Gate descends. The multiverse blocks every active skill and seals his heart, yet the System still flags him as a Ranker. Exploiting that loophole, Ace quietly stacks passive skills like Attack Speed, Critical Strike, Lifesteal, and more while the world marches blind toward its first apocalypse.

Amnesia was her first enemy. A merciless forest filled with grotesque creatures was her second. For Seraphina, awakening was less a birth and more a brutal re-forging, marked by a pulsating game system that offered no tutorials, only raw strength gained from confronting the horrors trying to claim her life. With her class a haunting "???", and her past a dangerous void, Seraphina's overriding objective is simple, yet daunting: find her lost memories. This perilous quest for her identity will lead her through terrifying transformations and unimaginable dangers in a grimdark world. As the system pushes her limits, she'll discover unsettling truths about herself and the price of power, realizing that sometimes, the greatest monster is the one you become in the search for your past.

Almond Crowshade was the last surviving human in a dying world whose people failed to conquer the Grand Abyss Labyrinth's 30th floor in time. The world was getting destroyed, and Almond was the last one challenging the 30th Floor multiple times despite the imminent destruction of the planet. He ultimately defeated the Floor Boss on his dying breath by achieving a true awakening, acquiring an X-rank Trait that signified limitless potential. Alas, he won but there was no home or future for what he fought. But a mysterious figure arrived there, feeling pity and amusement. "This is too precious and fun of a toy to let it rot here. You shall reincarnate and climb up to make things interesting." [Transfer to another world commencing…] [Your memories will be sealed, and you will reincarnate in another world that has welcomed Grimworld’s tutorial like this one. Clearing each floor of the Grand Abyss Labyrinth will unlock a portion of your memories, until the 10th Floor, upon which you will gain your full memories.] ‘I’m giving you a second chance. This time, you must clear the Grimworld’s tutorial and step onto the big game to make things interesting and entertaining.’ [Good luck.] Discord: -- https://discord.gg/MSM9Gp3Jxz

Follow the wild journey of a man reincarnated as a powerful werewolf in a fantasy world where MILFs can’t seem to resist him. Packed with humor, action, shapeshifting chaos, and plenty of adult fun, this story blends storytelling with steamy scenes. All 18+ chapters will be clearly marked with (18+) in the chapter title. Read at your own risk—and pleasure. Main Story ------- Gray Soliski wasn’t a hero. He wasn’t a villain. He wasn’t even particularly interesting. He was just your average filthy-rich, video-game-bingeing, midnight-snack-devouring college slacker. Until one night, a delivery girl showed up at his door... with fries, a milkshake, and a Desert Eagle. Bang. Dead. End of story? Not quite. Gray wakes up covered in slime, paw-deep in confusion, and surrounded by furballs. Congratulations! He’s been reborn... as a wolf pup. No system. No magical stats. No helpful tutorial. Just snow, raw meat, and a bunch of siblings who think tails are chew toys. Now he’s stuck in a freezing world with zero thumbs, a questionable “gift” for understanding howls, and an Alpha dad who thinks bonding time means hunting eight-foot rabbits. Can Gray survive the wilderness, avoid becoming monster chow, and maybe, just maybe, figure out why he got shot in the face to begin with? One thing’s for sure—being a wolf is a lot harder (and fluffier) than it looks. This is a SMUT novel with an actual plot.

Ever since I can remember, I've always been emotionally distant. Maybe because I was abandoned by my parents and grew up in a foster home. I think that's why, when the world started to fall apart, I simply didn't care that much... But everything changed the moment I woke up and realized that I was seeing reality from two different perspectives. At that moment, I understood that the madness of the world would be the least of my problems.

WSA 2025 The narrative follows a gamer who, after selecting the "Awakened Cinder" class in the game Fractured Dawn, finds himself transported into the game's world. However, this version of the game is devoid of its usual interfaces—no UI, no tutorials, and no second chances. Each death strips away a part of his memories and identity, immersing him deeper into a perilous reality. The protagonist, now known as Riven, must navigate the treacherous Witherlands, confronting formidable foes like the Gravemare and Dreamborn Horrors, while uncovering the mysteries of Emberlight, Grace, and Cindershrines. His journey is one of survival, self-discovery, and challenging the very fabric of this fractured world.

Elian Reyes thought graduating college would open doors. Instead, it slammed them shut—one job rejection at a time. No experience. No referrals. No connections. Just a computer science degree and a plastic folder full of fading hope. Until one day… [ Ding! ] [ System Activated. ] [Mission Complete: Assist a Street Vendor. ] [ Reward: 5 Years of Experience as a .NET Developer. ] Wait, what? Suddenly, Elian could debug code he hadn’t written, explain complex architectures on the spot, and breeze through technical interviews like a seasoned pro. One small task, one absurd pop-up—and his entire life began to change. This isn’t a game. There’s no tutorial. No one else has this system. And the missions? They're tied to real-world challenges—helping people, surviving jobs, pushing past limits.

Banished to the Eastern frontlines as a worthless noble disgrace, Gilbert Reinhardt was destined to die — a mere tutorial NPC (side character), in a brutal game of war. But when a bewildered high school boy awakens in his failing body, armed with only scraps of secondhand game knowledge, survival becomes more than a miracle. With a poor defenseless village, constant never-ending war, a mocking system, Gilbert must rewrite fate itself… or be devoured by the monstrous world he never chose. Player xxxx, Welcome to Last Defense.

In the world’s most realistic VRMMORPG, Eternal Dominion, one player was different. Priyanshu, a low-ranked beta tester, discovered a bug during the tutorial — something the devs never intended. Instead of choosing a class, he became the system’s root user. Instead of playing the game… he could rewrite it. [Skill Acquired: "Command Override"] [Effect: Edit any stat. Any time. Any player.] [Warning: This is a developer-only function.] But things spiraled out of control when the game merged with reality. Now, monsters roam the cities. Guilds rule the streets. Level 1 means you're weak. Level 0 means you're dead. Only Priyanshu has access to the broken root code of the world — but each command draws attention from something older than the system... A God hidden inside the game itself.

On just another normal Monday, a new virtual reality game called "Evolution Online" launched out of nowhere and took the world by storm. People were blown away by the game’s hyper-realistic features and endless adventures.

Along with millions of others, he died a miserable death, unable to fight back and filled with regret. However, Liam's story didn't end there.

Once upon a time—okay, more like Tuesday—Earth had a problem. Specifically, the kind of problem that comes with teeth, shadows, and a complete disregard for physics. They called it The Darkness. It showed up one day, wrecked the planet like it was a tutorial zone, and left humanity with two options: die screaming or die slightly later. That’s when a Supreme Being—possibly bored, possibly drunk on starlight—took pity on humanity and said: [“Alright, alright. You guys suck at surviving. Let’s try this again.”] With a snap (probably), the last remnants of mankind were transported to a new world: Celestara—a magical realm with floating continents, talking crystals, and suspiciously cute monsters that will absolutely kill you if you blink wrong. Here, humans can awaken magical Jobs, unlock hidden Talents, and level up using a divine system called Vaelwyn—basically fantasy’s version of patch notes and grind culture. It’s like someone made life into a video game. Because... they did [Six hundred year later] And then there’s Kael Virean—a guy from a perfectly normal parallel Earth, where the biggest threat to humanity was bad Wi-Fi and overpriced DLCs. He also happened to be a VR game world champion, the kind of player who dodged boss attacks in his sleep. One day, he opened his eyes… and found himself transmigrated to Celestara—in the body of an 18-year-old boy, just moments away from his Awakening. Whatever that means. --- [Disclaimer: Want to know what happens next? Then start reading. Curiosity is a powerful thing.]
