The Terminal Author And His Relentless System

Zapp was an author, a dreamer — and a dying man. His final breath came not with fear, but with regret. He left behind his sister, his only family, and the unfinished novel he poured his soul into: a brutal, unforgiving world governed by an ironclad System. When his eyes opened again, he wasn’t in a hospital bed. He woke up inside his own creation — not as the omniscient author, but as the protagonist he never finished writing. Weak. Overlooked. Disposable. But this wasn’t a blessing. It wasn’t mercy. The System didn’t bring him back to save him — it brought him back to test him. Armed with a rare Hybrid class — Mage, Healer, Swordsman — Zapp must claw his way up from the bottom, mastering magic, swordsmanship, and recovery alike. The System offers no handouts, only quests and consequences. Strength isn’t enough. Survival demands efficiency, precision, and control. The academy is a battlefield in disguise — nobles reign supreme, bloodlines dictate power, and outsiders like him are meant to fall in line or vanish. But Zapp doesn’t play by their rules. Because he knows one truth no one else does: The System is not the enemy. It’s the ultimate weapon — and if he masters it, this world will belong to him. But survival is only the first step. His sister is somewhere out there, trapped in this world too. He will protect her. And if anyone stands in his way — noble, monster, or the world itself — he’ll tear through them with cold, relentless efficiency. He built this world. Now, he’s going to master it. ─────────────────────── Genre: Regression Isekai | LitRPG | Dark Fantasy | Magic Academy | Slow Burn Power Progression Themes: Survival Through Strategy | Control vs. Fate | Family Bonds | Tactical Combat | Noble Politics ───────────────────────

Claimed by the Alien Lords: An Author’s Transmigration Tale

They Weren’t Just Hot Aliens—They Were Beast Men Too. And Now? The Universe Was Breaking Apart. ——————————————————— Hot Alien Lords. An Apocalypse. Strange Universes. A Glitching Storyline. Secrets, Betrayal, and a Fight for Survival. ——————————————————— She was just an overworked, underpaid author who fell asleep mid-chapter—only to wake up as a maid in her own novel. The bad news? She was trapped in the castle of three devastatingly attractive alien lords, brothers whose power could crush her in an instant. The worse news? In a world where females were plain at best, she’d somehow become the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous woman alive. Now, every jealous (and horrifyingly ugly) female wanted her dead, and the lords? They wouldn’t stop looking at her like she was their next meal. Her insider knowledge of the plot should’ve been her golden ticket, but the story? It was glitching. She’d written them as hot aliens who could transform into beasts—snakes, lions, and jaguars, to be exact. But seeing it firsthand? Terrifying. Their movements blurred the line between man and monster, predatory gazes locking onto her with an intensity she never typed into existence. Was this how they’d always been? Or was the world twisting into something else? Then came the real horror. An apocalyptic infection was spreading beyond the castle walls. People were mutating, becoming something... inhuman. The world itself was fracturing, opening doors to unknown universes that were never part of her original draft. One brother craved her like an obsession. Another wanted to break her. And the third? He carried a secret that could destroy everything. Thalina thought the lords would be the only males she’d have to mate with. Now? She wasn’t so sure. Between a castle full of murderous women, the dangerous desire of three alien beastmen, and a storyline spiraling out of her control, survival wasn’t just a goal anymore—it was the only thing keeping her from becoming another twisted piece of the story. Can she escape her own creation, or is she fated to die in a world she never meant to live in?

The god-like spider wants to be an author?

For eons, the multiverse has known an unnatural peace. Chaos, destruction, and the cycle of new beginnings have all but ceased—because the god who embodies them, Larry, has been erased. Well, not erased, but vanished. Tricked by the god Faceless, Larry had his name and identity stolen, forever forgotten by the other gods who once feared and knew him, which all but reduced him to an anomaly—an undefined being unrecognized by both mortals and gods. Larry has been forced into hiding at the edge of the multiverse, deep within the Great Darkness from which all the primordials emerged at the beginning of time, for if he is found, he will be erased, as he is no longer something that should exist. But survival is not enough. To reclaim his name and identity, Larry must earn the favor of the Goddess of Literature, the only deity with the influence to barter a debt with the Goddess of Faces, the one being capable of undoing Faceless's curse. The Goddess of Literature has grown tired of being cast and viewed as worthless, and because they both want something from each other, he figures that to stay alive, he must craft a story so powerful that it forces the gods and mortals alike to acknowledge him once more. Yet many deities fear the arrival of Larry, who threatens the balance within the multiverse that they had so carefully crafted after the God of Destruction and Chaos had all but vanished. As forgotten gods stir, eldritch horrors shift in the void, and the balance of existence teeters on the edge, Larry must decide two things. Is he simply trying to regain what was stolen from him, or is he just a selfish bastard who's trying to live? (This is a comedic story. So, consider this a little warning. By the way, there was also some initial confusion about Larry's gender, especially since I kept calling him 'it' or 'the spider.' So yeah, I'm very sorry for that, but I don't exactly have an editor to fix it.)

The Fallen Author’s Heart in the Land of Love

Akira Tsukihara was a romance author who despised love. Though she wrote best-selling novels filled with idealistic romance, she harbored nothing but contempt for the genre and the readers who adored it. Love, in her eyes, was a lie—an illusion that blinded people from the true forces of the world: power, betrayal, and ambition. One night, in a fit of frustration, she cursed love itself... and woke up trapped inside one of her own stories. Reborn as Aira, a nameless peasant girl in the Kingdom of Seraphis—a world she had meticulously crafted—Akira quickly realizes that reincarnation isn’t the fantasy dream she had written about. She isn’t a noble, a princess, or a heroine blessed with beauty and power. She is a nobody. A commoner, struggling to survive in the harsh realities of the medieval world she had once designed as a mere backdrop for her grand romances. As Aira, she faces starvation, endless labor, and the crushing weight of insignificance. But Akira was never one to accept fate. If she couldn’t escape this world, she would rewrite the story on her own terms. She would carve her name into history—not as the lovestruck heroine of a cliché romance, but as the mastermind who would bend the world to her will. In a land ruled by noble bloodlines and political schemes, where the romance tropes she once loathed play out before her eyes, Aira sets her sights on one goal: destroying the very ideals of love that had imprisoned her in this wretched world. Even if it means becoming the villain of her own story.

You woke up late and now you’re trying to bring the whole house down, go shower or you’ll be very late for school, you better hurry or I’m throwing you and your bag out at 7:40 “ my mum said as she walked away to the kitchen. I was shocked, I didn’t understand what was going on, I moved from my mums house two years ago, I’m currently leaving in a Condo in LA with best Friend from high school … this isn’t LA… or maybe I’m still asleep? . I walk to my old bathroom to go wash my face. I turned the tap on and splashed some water on it, then I grabbed the towel next to the door and look at the mirror in front of me … I screamed !!! “Aghhhhhhhhhhhhh” why do I look 14???? I’m 21 …. I felt dizzy, but i could hear my mum yelling from the kitchen “stop shouting and just kill the spider, it can’t kill you” my mum said thinking I saw a bug, how is she sure it’s not poisonous … typical African parent, but wait … what is happening to me ? Did I go back in time ?
