The gates of hell has been opened and with this comes the demons. This issue submerged when the existence of dungeons had come to light. These dungeons helped human beings strengthen their bodies.

Set in a dystopian future, Earth's central capital, the vibrant city of Riftshade, is a cesspool of crime and violence. With Earth's government focussed on defending the planet against spatial rifts, rather than governing, the people are largely left to their own devices. To make matters worse, society is suffering from a rift between two rival ideologies of personal advancement: Cybers and Mystics. In the midst of all of this, a boy lives under the tyranny and cruel games of his father, a powerful figure in one of the city's criminal syndicates. Intelligent and ruthless, this boy seeks to forge his own path and take revenge on his father. Finally, he gets his chance when others scheme to get control of the powers lying dormant in his genes. Can he use their schemes to his advantage, and take power into his own hands? How will he use the powers of sin? This story is about his rise to become the Lord of Runes, and it starts on the day he met Luna... *** I gave it both anti-hero and villain tags because, while my MC is an anti-hero in that he searched for personal revenge and freedom, he eventually will start to lean more towards villain/anti-villain behaviour.

What can be considered a treasure? Brandon was the largest dragon there was. His old scales alone could buy an entire country. But he did not have a treasure to speak of. Just gold, glistering gems, and a homey cottage where he hid when the goings got tough. One day, as he was collecting wild herbs, he found his treasure. Beaten, with a slavery rune on him, barely alive. Pan was not much, but to Brandon, he was a treasure. A treasure fit for a dragon.

Coming back from the magic world, Riya rebuked her shameless stepmother. She was back to her first life with the world treasure and thought that her life would be smooth sailing. But… What was happening with the environment? Why did the mana suddenly recover on this Green Planet? And why did those magic beasts also appear? Riya: ??? Ah, Riya silently swore to secretly become stronger to deal with these magic beasts that went on rampage. She would use her runes to make a better life while watching the world recover from the destruction. Unfortunately, things were not so simple. Her best friend’s brother suddenly locked his attention on her. “Ah, ah, ah, you don't have to mind me….” “The runes you make are really interesting.

In this time of chaos, a new breed of humans, the Runebounds, arose. Carriers of divine blood must go through trials known as Hex in order to unlock the true potential of the Runes. Arthur Dahl, a boy from the slums, is a carrier of divine blood. But will he be able to sustain himself in this new world? Will Arthur be able to find the purpose of the Runes? *** Arthur hesitated before reading the final part of his status window, knowing it wouldn’t be good news. "As for blood purity... it says 'Miserable.'" A tense silence filled the room. Officer Verna raised an eyebrow, clasping her hands in front of her face. "Miserable?" Thoth, in contrast, let out an exaggerated laugh. "That’s a first! Miserable, huh? That might explain why your Essence is crimson instead of golden. You might be the weakest challenger in the history of the Nine Realms." Arthur’s jaw tightened. "So not only am I at the bottom of the barrel, but I’ve set a new low? Fantastic." Despite his sarcasm, Arthur couldn’t help but feel a small pang of unease. If he truly was the weakest challenger, how was he supposed to survive?

I made a story. It was a mess of ideas strung together with hopes and dreams. Wrote about a few thousand words on it, then completely forgot about it to focus on my other works. I never should've added more things to it. Why? I suddenly woke up inside of the story as a nobody that has absolutely nothing useful to survive in this place. Well, at least I know the location of the most important item in the universe that was made by God itself. One small issue though... I need to not get noticed by... all of them...

During the battle known as "A Thousand Lost Souls", which divided the largest Clans, a devastating massacre occurred within one of the Clans, with no apparent explanation. Thousands of lives were lost, but only one of them left a mark so deep that, for generations, it haunted the great Clans. Now, 300 years later, a series of mysterious deaths begin to occur, directed entirely at specific Clans, rekindling ancient fears and forcing the Clans to call an urgent meeting in the Celestial Palace. Wei Liang, a young and skilled celestial investigator, is given the mission to investigate one of the locations where the most recent deaths occurred. At the location requested to be investigated, Wei Liang meets Ye Xun, an enigmatic and talented ally, who decides to accompany him on the celestial missions. As the two face dangers and ancient mysteries, an unexpected bond begins to form between them — something Wei Liang never imagined developing with someone like Ye Xun.

The twins, Vansis and Selvia Blake, were an odd duo by any standard. Bound by a peculiar quirk of fate—or some family curse no one dared to question—they couldn’t die if killed by each other. It was, to their credit, an extraordinarily convenient ability for two siblings whose idea of quality time involved trying to stab, strangle, or otherwise "fatally incapacitate" one another. They called it training. But everyone else called it concerning. But things started to go south after their father's "peaceful" demise. And their uncle, the only other member left of the family, vanished—To add fuel to the flames, the underground of Mesopotamia began to stir. And that was not all, following the father's very conveniently placed will, they find themselves in an underground altar that they swear was not there yesterday. Even the architecture was too old to be even in the history books. But oh boy was the surprises far from over—Selvia, against Van's very obvious don't do it signs, touched a glowing rune too tempting not to touch. Now whisked to another world against their will, the twins must fight hard to survive with the strange powers they got from the runes etched on the back of their hands. But just a slight problem, Selvia decided to take a long nap—And it was up to Vansis to boot her back up. (Author's note: This work is still under construction and I hope to receive your feedback about any ideas you have. I will try my best to add it into the story. However, this won't be updated for some time since I've got a novel I have to complete beforehand.) ☺
