"How far will you go to save the only home you've ever known?" Tyson never wanted to be a hero! But on his 20th birthday, everything changed. A Meta-bot chose him—fusing with his body, wrapping him in powerful armor, and throwing him into a war far beyond his control. "You are now a Ranger. Fight, survive, or let Earth die." Edward said, "And remember, you don’t choose Meta-bot. It chooses you. And when it does… your life is no longer your own, Tyson" The rules are straightforward. Every few years, the intergalactic tournament commences. Earth gains additional time by successfully navigating the stages. Billions of lives hang in the balance while the battles are broadcast live—nothing more than a twisted form of entertainment for some godlike beings. "You’re not ready for this, Tyson. You’ll get yourself killed." As if fighting for survival wasn’t enough, Tyson must prove himself worthy of the Roger family name, fix his fractured bond with his adopted brother, and navigate his growing feelings for a girl he never expected to fall for—the daughter of a fallen General. But time is running out. "You think this war cares about what you want?" "No, it never has. It never will," a voice whispered. "It’s on you, kid. If you want to survive, then fight for it." ------ This novel blends sci-fi and fantasy, featuring a 'weak to strong' progression.

Jung Haneul just wanted a quiet life—clock in, do her job at Stardom Entertainment, earn enough to support her family, and avoid unnecessary drama. Easy, right? Wrong. Enter Park Hyunjin—Stardom’s golden boy, a mischievous trainee with a face too handsome for his own good and an annoying habit of invading her personal space. And then there’s Lee Sunwoo—her senior, cold and distant, but somehow always there when she needs someone the most. Haneul never planned on being the center of attention, but the universe (and nosy netizens) had other ideas. A harmless interaction with Hyunjin turns into a full-blown scandal overnight, and suddenly, she’s the main character in a real-life K-drama. Trainees whisper behind her back, the company gives her side-eyes, and worst of all—Hyunjin seems to find the whole situation hilarious. But when one photo of them goes viral, things turn serious. Hyunjin’s debut is at risk, and Stardom is pressuring Haneul to step down. Amidst all the chaos, Sunwoo remains her safe place. But is his quiet support enough to make her stay? Or is something else—someone else—pulling her heart in another direction? Caught between love, career, and the ever-watchful eyes of the public, Haneul must make a choice: fight for herself or walk away before everything spirals out of control.

In the year 2000, the System arrived on Gaia and changed the world of mankind. The environment became volatile and organisms evolved. To the humans, the System offered a class-base progression with a myriad of skills just like in old RPG games. From magic to bloodlines, as long as people immersed themselves in their passions, the System would incorporate their interests into classes and skills. And with the rise of new powerhouses, old nations were brought down and new ones rose from the ashes, stabilizing and governing their evolved populace. Around 500 years later since the dawn of the System, the story of our MC began. Drai was a musclehead, and his days were mostly spent for two purposes: becoming stronger and tougher! With his single-mindedness and crazy trainings he was finally offered a special class on the Revelation Day. From there on, his journey began. Starting from a prestigious academy and meeting his mentor and new friends, each with their own peculiarities, Drai steadily walked the path of power and invincibility. Party adventures, dark schemes, and veiled threats would accompany Drai throughout his journey.

In a world where cultivation is the ultimate pursuit, Void, a being of pure abyssal essence, infiltrates the prestigious Azure Dragon Clan. Unlike typical protagonists, Void seeks not glory or redemption, but absolute domination. Possessing the insidious Abyssal Corruption System, he manipulates minds, corrupts souls, and shatters the very foundations of righteous cultivation. Void's journey is a descent into darkness, a calculated unraveling of moral boundaries. He transforms the noble Lin Hao into a vessel of ruthless ambition, twists the compassionate healer Lan Yue into an instrument of corrupted healing, and turns the very heart of the Azure Dragon Clan against itself. With each corrupted soul, each shattered alliance, Void's power grows, his influence spreading like a plague. As he conquers the neighboring Serpent's Fang Clan through cunning manipulation and brutal exploitation, Void's ambitions expand beyond mere territory. He seeks to corrupt the "Heaven's Chosen," desecrate sacred grounds, and unleash the full potential of the Abyssal Summoning. This is not a tale of heroic ascension, but a chilling chronicle of absolute corruption. Void's path is paved with broken spirits, twisted loyalties, and the chilling realization that true power lies not in righteousness, but in the complete and utter mastery of darkness. In a world teetering on the brink of abyssal chaos, Void's chilling question echoes: can any light withstand the encroaching shadows, or will the world succumb to the absolute reign of corruption?

Magi of Sinlung Larin was just another apprentice magi, content with the quiet pursuit of knowledge—until war shattered his world. The Kirat Empire, an iron-fisted colossus, has long trampled Xiaxo under its boot, but their rule has fractured. As rebellion brews and ancient forces stir, Larin finds himself at the heart of a conflict far greater than he ever imagined. The magic of Sinlung, the breath of the land itself, is awakening. Beings older than recorded history—Primordial entities, Guardian Beasts, and cosmic civilizations lurking beyond the stars—have begun to make their moves. Some see humanity as pawns, others as tools, and a few as something more. But the wars of gods and conquerors will not wait for one young magi to catch up. Resistance is inevitable. Betrayal is certain. Survival is not. Larin must wield every scrap of knowledge, power, and cunning to carve a path forward. From the battlefields of Xiaxo to the depths of forgotten ruins, from the councils of war to the whispers of cosmic magi, he will face blood, sacrifice, and impossible truths. The world is shifting, and with it, the nature of magic itself. Will he remain a mere student of the arcane, or will he forge himself into something greater? What to Expect: In-depth and immersive worldbuilding – Traditions, cultures, and histories woven into a living world. Grand-scale civilizations – Empires, resistance forces, and cosmic hierarchies, each with their own agendas. A clash of ideologies – What does it mean to rule? To resist? To be free? Philosophical and moral complexity – No easy answers, only difficult choices. Slow-burn grimdark progression – A mix of slice-of-life, political intrigue, and brutal reality. A layered magic system – Sinlung Arts, ancient philosophies, and the unraveling secrets of existence. GameLit elements – Structured progression, world mechanics, and a system beyond mere stats. Updates M/W/F

Most Webnovel readers love fast-paced stories with overpowered protagonists, system cheats, and clear progression. They enjoy seeing the main character rise from nothing to greatness, often with revenge, adventure, or world-building elements. Cultivation, urban fantasy, reincarnation, and system novels dominate the platform, and readers expect rapid power growth, face-slapping moments, and a constant sense of escalation. But my story? It’s different. Sure, it’s urban fantasy, but it doesn’t follow the usual Webnovel formula. There’s no cheap wish fulfillment, no overused tropes just for the sake of it. Instead, I’m crafting something deeper—a story with real weight, real growth, and a journey that means something. It may not be the usual Webnovel fare, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a damn good story.

Melody in the Passing of Time In modern Japan, where each season sings its own story and music becomes the language of the heart, a young guitarist named Axel struggles to find harmony amidst loss and longing. Gifted with soulful melodies that echo his inner world, Axel’s life is steeped in bittersweet memories—the absence of his mother, the warmth of shared moments with friends, and the lingering notes of a past that still resonate. “Melody in the Autumnus” also means “Melody in the Passing of Time” is a richly woven tapestry of romance, music, and family legacy. It explores how the notes of the past echo into the present, how every chord of love and loss builds the soundtrack of our lives, and how, even as time marches on, the melodies that shape us remain ever-present—a timeless symphony that binds hearts across generations.

Evelyn Rayner had lost everything, her family, her business, and, ultimately, herself. Betrayal, regret, and despair had stripped her of faith, leaving her in darkness. But fate was not so cruel. Reborn with the memories of her past life, she was determined to right every wrong, to repay the debts of love and loyalty, to seek redemption from those she had hurt, most importantly “him”. Now, standing in the heart of a grand ballroom, adorned in elegance, she moved through the sea of people, their admiring gazes passed unnoticed to her. Her eyes sought only one person the man she had lost once before. Adrian Vaughn. As she reached him, her voice, soft yet resolute, carried a whisper from the past. “Didn’t you promise me that you’d only dance with me?” His piercing gaze locked onto hers, emotions flickering in the depths of his eyes before a slow, knowing smirk curved his lips. Closing the distance between them, he leaned in, his breath warm against her ear as he murmured, “I didn’t know my little wife would be the jealous type.” The words struck a forgotten chord within her, pulling her back to childhood memories, back when she had boldly, laughing with childlish confidence declared herself as his wife to everyone. Now, looking at the man before her, aloof, unreadable, yet teasing in a way only she understood, gratitude swelled within her. She had lost him once, and in her final moments of her past life, regret had consumed her for she failed him and everyone around her. But not this time. She silently vowed in her heart.

With slow progression, a focus on power-building, alliances forged under pressure, and intricate magical systems, this high-magic tale chronicles Evan’s relentless journey from obscurity to ultimate domination.

The elevator stank of burnt wiring and adrenal sweat. Lucas Hayes came to consciousness with his cheek pressed against cold steel, the floor vibrating with the machine's perpetual ascent. A cracked display panel flickered: DAY 9 | SAFETY DURATION 00:03:44. Three warped tones echoed as the system imprinted directly onto his retinas: [Precognitive Matrix Activated] [Sector Transition Imminent] His vision fractured into augmented reality overlays. Bloodshot eyes darted between floating diagnostics: [Destination: Floor 248] Threat Classification: Standard Biohazards (Homo corruptus) x20 Recommended Arsenal: Bladed weapons (76% efficacy) Reward Manifest: Silver Cache (Full eradication required) Lucas gripped the shock-baton strapped to his thigh, its ceramic surface still smeared with luminescent fungal spores from yesterday's skirmish. The elevator's speakers emitted a decaying piano chord as new text scrolled through static: [Destination: Floor 249] Containment Unit: Obsidian Reliquary (SCP-XXXX Variant) Threat Level: White (Placid) His boot tapped rhythm against the floor where Natalie Evans had bled out seven cycles ago. The memory played in crystal clarity - her screams syncing perfectly with the elevator's current pitch-shifted rendition of Clair de Lune. [Destination: Floor 250] Entity Designation: Noctis lamia (Cognitive Hazard Class C)* Survival Probability: 41.2±18% The control panel erupted in fractal patterns as reality glitched. Lucas glimpsed William Carter's skeleton key lodged in the emergency brake slot - the same key that had melted through three layers of Kevlar when its owner died. "Beta protocol. Always beta." He smashed blood-crusted knuckles against the floor selector. The elevator screamed in harmonic resonance as it deviated from its programmed path.

(Find the full book on already on RoyalRoad!) The gods make mistakes, and she is the greatest of them all. Can this accidentally chosen one save the world from herself? Ashtik Sai-Weleg is not a hero, nor is she a villain. She's nothing but a simple huntress with some mild social anxiety. That is all she has ever been, and that is all she ever wanted to be. Then an old and long-since forgotten god decided to put into action, his ancient and foretold prophecy. If all goes to plan, his holy Champion would have been there to save the world. Only... it did not go to plan. Instead of the chosen one, his divine mark has been violently attached to Ashtik, and now the whole world stands on the edge. Can she unite the world? Can she forge an alliance to battle the apocalypse? Can she remain on the side of good when all evil actions seem to save so many more lives? Probably not, but it might be fun to see how she gets along. The world either thinks her a chosen one or a wicked lying heretic, only she knows that the truth isn't nearly that simple. A rise to the top tale, featuring themes of imposter syndrome, addiction and (found)family bonds. Warning; Ashtik isn't a superhero. Punches hurt like hell, and she gets her ass kicked a fair amount. This isn't a power fantasy, its a tragedy.
