Scaling Gilgamesh

45 years ago, the Life Scale shattered. Now, spirits born from human emotions roam freely, unseen by most. But when Takami Ryusei, a struggling Low Grant level human, is caught in the crossfire of a powerful spirit’s attack, he barely survives. The near-death encounter should have ended him, but instead, it awakens something else: a system. A guide to survival. A path to power. A chance to defy fate. Thrown into a world where guilds profit from hunting spirits, the 12 Seats manipulate events from the shadows, and the barrier between life and death weakens by the day, Takami must fight his way up from the bottom. Because in a war between humans and spirits, the weak don’t get to choose how they die. But Takami? He plans to choose how he lives. And he won’t stop until the system makes him strong enough to stand at the top.

After being dragged by accident by a god to another world, Marcel must now contend with the constant dangers of a world under the rule of the Ad Infinitum System, trying to learn how to use and manage to survive the threats when everything around him can rise in levels over him.

However, his System is broken and not working properly, showcasing errors and giving him access to a power not meant for human use. All for the sake of his own quest: to kill the god that stole his life. --------------------------------- From the 1st of march uploads will happen daily, 1-2 episodes of 1000-1500 words each upload, and possibilities of more if time allows (college begins second week of march here) 50k words reached on 2/11/2025, all for free! 100k words reached on 3/9/2025!

Rise of the Arms Dealer in the World War tells the story of a man from the modern world, thrown back in time to a pivotal moment in history. Armed with knowledge of advanced weaponry and the sharp instincts of a seasoned weapons dealer, he wastes no time in exploiting the chaos of historical wars and political upheavals. Building an empire not just in arms but across industries, he crafts vehicles, machinery, and technology far beyond the reach of his time. With each calculated move, his influence spreads like wildfire, positioning him to control the tides of conflict. After World War I, he seizes the opportunity to buy up factories and cutting-edge technologies from the defeated nations, biding his time to prepare for the next global war. His eyes are set on World War II, where he plans to sell weapons on an unprecedented scale, shaping the course of history. A villain at heart, he is cold, calculating, and without a shred of principle. He deals to whoever bids the most, indifferent to the consequences. As his empire grows, so does the power he wields, but with it comes a relentless struggle to keep the forces he's unleashed in check.

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. 3 Updates per day! @ 2 p.m., 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. (+8)

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun and taming expectations. _______ If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's Luna, the FL... Her skin and clothes are morphing into shimmering scales from her dragon power. Remember Sailor Moon? Magical girls? Now imagine if the magical outfit wasn’t a cute dress, but an actual dragon! The dragon is the dress... It’s not just fashion; it’s fusion. High-level beasts tend to leave their mark, and Luna wears it like a boss, pulling off the ultimate power move. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.

Ingrid Dolph, a lowly she-wolf happens to be in her ripe age of locating her mate. And it was during this time that the rumor about a dragon egg spread like wildfire and everyone was asked to hunt for it. Whoever finds it will have a greater share and unbelievable privileges. Excited for the hunt, Ingrid takes part in it with the motive of finding it and bargaining for its blood and scale. But as fate would have it, she didn't just find it but that same dragon turns out to be her mate. ***** ~{SNEAK PREVIEW}~ The closer I got, the more I realized it was a full grown naked man. What? A man? How was the dragon a man? Suddenly I growled and groaned as my body grew hot by just the sight of him. What was wrong with me? Could it be that my wolf side was affected by the dragon because of the smell of its blood? Disregarding the fact that he was naked, I approached him and my breathing became labored as my senses heightened to an intense level I never knew possible. “Who would dare do such a thing to him!” I angrily said aloud and that was when his eyes opened, causing my breath to get caught in my throat. He was breathtaking! His lashes were white and they shimmered while his iris were gray in color. “Ingrid,” he breathed out my name and my eyes widened in wonder at the fact that he knew my name.

Mecha. Magic. War. And the clash of two worlds. The Osten Empire, wielders of arcane sorcery, and the Dunkelheit Empire, masters of advanced mechs and mobile suits, have been locked in a brutal war for dominance. Their conflict rages across the stars — until a forbidden spell, the Light of Punishment, shatters the balance of power, sending both empires into chaos. Jack Squire, a veteran debris collector, expected another routine job in space. Instead, he finds himself caught in the crossfire of history’s most devastating battle, forced to navigate a war where magic defies logic, machines shape destiny, and survival is anything but guaranteed. Meanwhile, Queen Charlotte of Dunkelheit launches a ruthless invasion, seeking to crush Osten once and for all. Standing in her way is Ignius Lux Draconus, an arcane force of destruction, and Rhok Wagner, an elite Armatus pilot with a personal vendetta. As alliances shift and war machines clash against sorcery, a hidden force emerges — one that could rewrite the fate of both empires. What to Expect: Mecha – Stunning mecha designs, large-scale battles, and high-speed tactical warfare. Magic – An intricate arcane system that blends history, mysticism, and devastating power. Waifu (Well, not really, but now that I have your attention) – A cast of vibrant, uniquely designed characters, both male and female, bringing depth, charisma, and conflict to the battlefield. In a universe where machines and mages battle for supremacy, one question remains: Who will forge the future? --- (For fans of Code Geass, Fate/Zero, and Aldnoah.Zero.)

I think the story will be interesting, but I may lack a bit in grammar since it's my first time writing and its not my native language.
