My Pet Beast is really not an Evil God

Gary Smith arrived in a peculiar world of beastmasters, where an ancient taboo was reborn from the depth of time, and an evil god was lurking. In this world, birds and beasts, rivers and mountains, even elements could spawn spiritual power and turn into pet beasts. Among them, the powerful ones became ecological niches by themselves, radiating secret realm ecosystems such as the Yellow Spring, Skeleton Kingdom, Succubus Nest, and Kingdom of the Sky Tree, nurturing countless followers. The beastmasters make contracts with the pet beasts, nurture them, and control the spiritual power. After witnessing the "Taboo Sun" event, Gary Smith obtained the ability to extract materials from everything in the world and compile "Secret Food". Through the Evolutionary Secret Food, the combination of "The Shattered Dusk World" + "Ancient Dragon’s Dead Egg" results in the Feast of the End. When the pet beast consumes it, it evolves into the Dusk Dragon God. The Dusk Domain erodes the world, turning into the God at the end of time. The Skill Secret Food allows the pet beasts to plunder skills from everything, becoming omniscient and omnipotent. The Sacrificial Secret Food snatches the taboo time, sacrifices the ancient beings, and blasphemes against the gods. His style of beast control also started to become peculiar. There is the Spider Shadow that devours ancient dragons and weaves dreams of all lives with its threads, the Red Master that pollutes the multiverse, and the Devourer of the Realms, who consumes worlds... In response to this, he explained, "My pet beasts are just a bit peculiar. They really are not evil gods!"

The Archive of the Forgotten

Eira’s life as a quiet librarian changes forever when she discovers a strange, unreadable book buried in the dusty shelves of her small-town library. When a drop of her blood accidentally stains its pages, Eira is transported into The Archive—a surreal, infinite library where every forgotten story, erased memory, and lost piece of history resides. Within its walls, Eira learns that she is a rare "Reclaimer," someone with the power to restore forgotten truths to the real world. But this power comes with a dangerous price. As Eira grapples with her new role, she discovers that not all truths were forgotten by accident. Some were deliberately erased for the safety of the world, while others were buried in wars over control of knowledge. Among the Archivists—sentient beings who guard The Archive—factions clash over whether these truths should remain hidden. And in the shadows, a rogue group known as The Editors seeks to manipulate The Archive for their own sinister purposes, threatening to rewrite history itself. Eira’s journey forces her to confront her own fragmented past, uncovering a deeply buried trauma that ties her to The Archive more than she ever imagined. As forgotten truths spill into reality, causing chaos and unraveling the fabric of the world, Eira must decide: What truths are worth restoring, and which should remain lost forever?

The Winds of Liberation

Victor Marcellus, once the visionary leader who united Earth under the 'Roman Federation,' spent his final years in peace after ending humanity's lust for war. But as his body grew frail, the gods of a faraway world saw his potential. In Elysium, a land ravaged by wars and monsters, they saw in him the last hope to restore stability before their followers-and they-faded into nothingness. Before his reincarnation could take place, the gods intervened, recognizing that Victor could accomplish a task he had once completed on Earth: to unite and restore a broken world. They granted him the skill 'Archive of Earth,' a powerful ability that gives him access to humanity's vast knowledge, from the simplest inventions to the most complex theories. But to unlock Earth's most vital secrets, he must earn the trust and prosperity of his people-every advancement comes at a price. Elysium is a dying realm. The kingdoms are fractured, and the races of humans, elves, dwarves, demi-humans, and half-monsters teeter on the brink of extinction. Monsters roam unchecked, while feudal kings wage endless wars. Magic, once a gift from the gods to fight monsters, has been twisted into a tool for conquest. Hope is all but gone. Armed with the wisdom of Earth's past, Victor faces the monumental task of adapting humanity's past knowledge to a world scarred by its own wars. Was he truly the right man for the job? In a world on the brink of destruction, can one man spark the flames of democracy and rebuild society? With Astra, the nation he founded, as a beacon of liberty and hope, Victor must unite Elysium's fractured races. But as he lays the foundation for a new world, can he fulfill his grand vision of liberation-one based on democracy and justice? Or will the weight of his past victories prove too great, as war, magic, and monsters close in from all sides? Authors Note: Credit to @Ross for helping me with the cover, I recommend his work as I collaborate with him in story writing too.

Their Desired Ending

It wasn't on purpose. When Maria stole a peculiar book from one of her classmates, she thought nothing of it since her classmate didn't seem too fond of reading; Maria thought she could get away with it, however, she never expected the book to hold such secrets. Working as a barista in the city of Quezon, Maria discovers that not only was the book she had once read predicting the end of the world, but her old pocket watch was the key to figuring out its secrets. Before she knew it, chaos started to unfold, claiming the lives of thousands as deadly games began to appear all over the world, forcing humans to become players to survive. Maria never imagined that an old book series could lead to such catastrophes. Can a book with hundreds of pages stacked together— really be the sole reason for the end of humanity? Left with no other choice, Maria uses her knowledge from the books to navigate through the looming perils before her. With the desire to meet the beings that heralded the world's end and uncover the mysteries shrouding her books, Maria strove to survive and adapt to her new reality, even if it meant being tangled between life and death. In a world brimming with tales, akin to the multitude of stars gleaming in the nocturnal skies or the depths of the vast ocean yet to be explored, the story of searching for one's ending begins... * * * TL;DR: What to expect: -Slow Paced Story -Character Development  -A Fantasy, Post-Apocalyptic World -Mysteries! -Diverse Characters  -Family Conflict and Comradeship  -Sub-Plot Romance between Two Women -3.4k-3.8k Word Count per Chapter -Mistakes in grammar or prose since English is not my Native Language What NOT to expect: -Overpowered MC -Reverse Harem -LitRPG * * * Before reading this story, please note that this story will not be a short one. This story is inspired by many unlimited-flow Chinese novels I often read, Alice in Borderland, and my childhood favorite cartoon show, Adventure Time. Although this is my first time writing a story and may be an amateur, there would also be some terrible grammar, prose, and repetition of words since English is not my native language, I still hope that some of you will be able to enjoy reading this story I created during quarantine.  This story may also be slow in terms of updating, but I'll try my best to upload frequently or find a schedule to upload the chapters. I accept any form of criticism, tips, and advice!

Literary Teacher Isekai

[ Also Available on Royal Road ] After a painful breakup, a 28-year-old literature teacher is unexpectedly transported to a mystical medieval world with his loyal college assistant. In a land where words have the power to shape reality, their literary knowledge becomes their greatest advantage. As they explore this strange new realm, they uncover a dangerous secret: the godlike creator has lost control, and now the characters are alive—and free to make their own choices. ______________________________________ What to expect: 1. Narrative Driven, the story may be a litrpg but the focus is less from the stat blocks and more to the characters and plot. Although, the stats are still very much significant.  2. Conflicts are real, this means that the main characters don't just get better and move on from past traumas right away. Improvement is gradual. If you don't like waiting, or feeling pain before having the strength to overcome it, this might not be for you (sorry, I've decided to take it to the unconventional direction) 3. There is a potential slow burn romance subplot and potential love interests depending on plot progression and audience interaction. But, I'd like to make it clear that this is not a harem. 4. A whole lot of literary allusions, if you enjoy popular and classic literature, you're in for a ride! 5. Explores the struggles of a modern day teacher in depth. This story is a quest for redemption,  6. The main characters are human, this means that they aren't the typical Mary Sue or Gary Stew kinda characters. Capable of making good decisions as much as they're capable of making mistakes. ______________________________________ Sidenote: It isn't excessively violent, in fact, it's the opposite. Just wanted to put the warning since some chapter has mild descriptions of violence. Erring on the side of caution would be best. ______________________________________ This journey is a quest for redemption, a confrontation of past regrets and the reimagination life and love in a world as fluid as ink on a page.

Unlimited Archive (BL)

Lui Huang had no plans in joining an Unlimited Flow game, with a survival rate less than 20%. In fact he had no idea that such a game had existed in the first place. And if he did, he was far too busy to have even cared. The only plan he had was to go to sleep and wake up the next day ready for his midterms. But what he got instead was the sound of a monotonous mechanical voice announcing the start of a game called ARCHIVE. [Archive Loading In....3...2...1] [Archive Online.] [Archive Welcome's Record 1001, Lui Huang.] [All Records must make their way to the Lobby Of Truth within 10 minutes.] .... [Time Is Up.] [Current Time Frame; 00:00:00] [Conducting Record Count.] [Insufficient Records.] [Commencing Penalty.] [Penalty: DEATH.] ..... Lui Yang stared indifferently at the man that looked down on him with eye's green as emeralds but dark as the abyss. He frowned as he tried to pull his arm away. "...Let go of me." He was experiencing a terrible sense of deja vu as the current events began to unfold the same way as last time. Just like before, he was once again pressed tightly against the wall with both of his hands pinned above his head. And above him stood a man that wished for nothing more than to not only conquer the realms but Lui Huang's whole entire being as well. It seemed that an annoying obstacle continued to block his path time and time again. What horror game?! This was looking more and more like a dating simulation game instead. Lui Huang was getting so fed up he no longer wanted to play. As if he had a choice in that matter? L.H: I want out! This isn't fun anymore, imediately let me out right now!! Let this Loazi leave!!! A certain green eyed mad man: *Chuckles amusingly.* Leave, and go where exactly? Home? L.H: *__* "This is your home now. Your job, your life... your dreams, it's the very air that you breath. You think if you won you could leave and return back to your world? *He smiles callously. Eyes cold and menacing.* I'd never allow it, not even your lifeless corpse would be able to return."

Rupegia

"You may now kiss the bride." But no kiss ever came. I'm ripped from my wedding and thrown into a medieval fantasy world with game-like elements. It may seem like a game, but that doesn't matter to me, because this is my reality. The pain, the hunger, the cold, the fear, it's all real to me. Alone, without knowing why I'm here, in a world where I know nothing and nobody, I decide to buy a Blood Slave to have someone I can trust. She brings me comfort and so much more. She helps me raise my head high again and bravely move forward. Together, we'll grow stronger. Together, we're unbreakable. But she won't be the only one by my side. We need more than just each other, for I know that my purpose in this world can't be accomplished with only her help. Monsters and dungeons plague the land, forcing civilization to protect themselves from the hordes with tall walls and fierce determination. Killing monsters is a daily need, but they aren't the only enemy here. I have a powerful "Gift" that allows me to change my "skill points" at will, but if others were to know about it, there would be many that would try to use me by any means possible. Step by step, moment by moment, day by day, we keep moving forward, always aiming to improve our strength. One day, we'll meet our Fate, and we'll be ready for it. Swords held high, shields tightly strapped to our arms, wings spread apart, spells at the tip of our tongues, minds focused like blades, and our hearts hardened like steel. We'll take on whatever comes our way! --------------------------------------------- *Additional Tags*: Psychological, Romance, Magic, Male Lead, Portal Fantasy/Isekai/Transmigration, Polygamy, Slaves *Content Warning*: gore, profanity, sexual content (male/female, female/female, and human/non-human (*not for the faint of heart*)), traumatizing content *What to expect*: Slow story focused on the day-to-day life of a transmigrated man rather than on the plot. The plot exists but it *very slowly* becomes relevant. Also, *slow* character progress. It's a long journey, so don't expect a hero to grow in just a few chapters. Detailed environments and extensive world-building. Realistic and tactical combat instead of flashy. Protagonist with a cheat but far from overpowered. Lots of descriptive sex scenes, it is treated as just another part of life instead of merely fan-service. A harem where the members actually enjoy living with each other. Occasional weird wording and grammar, English isn't my first language. New chapters Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8PM US East. This story is also on Royal Road (*most sexual content censored*), Scribble Hub, Novel Updates, Hentai Foundry, MoonQuill, Archive of Our Own, and Literotica.

The Veiled Codex

In the shimmering heat of an ancient desert, Dr. Eliana Sabri’s archaeological team unearths a temple unlike any recorded in history. Its stones bear markings that defy time and language, its foundations whispering secrets older than civilization itself. Soon, Dr. Markus Jovanic’s careful excavations and Dr. Sima Atiri’s cryptic analyses begin to unveil patterns that challenge everything known about human origins—and raise unsettling questions about who, or what, once guided our ancestors. Across the ocean, Dr. Mirianne Calwyn combs through forbidden manuscripts in a quiet European archive, parsing obscure languages that shouldn’t exist and drawing unexpected connections to distant stars. Religious leaders, scholars, and statesmen—Sister Anella among them—find their cherished truths shaken as encoded messages surface in scriptures and legends, hinting at a presence both familiar and unimaginable. Rumors spread among secretive circles; something grand and unknowable lingers just beyond the veil of recorded history. As President Daniel Porten and General Alvaris attempt to maintain global stability, unlikely alliances form. Dr. Elina Viran, Dr. Fabrice Leclair, and Tariq Abran race to interpret signals that seem to flow from myth into science with unnerving precision. A quiet tension grips the world—its faith, identity, and future all poised on a knife’s edge. What emerges from the past will test loyalties, convictions, and the very measure of human character. In dust-choked corridors, under watchful skies, a new chapter of our story is waiting to be told. The mysteries revealed will not simply rewrite what we know—they may redefine who we are allowed to become.
