Weak, rotting, and hunted by the horrors that prowl the abyssal zone, survival is anything but guaranteed. The world follows one rule: grow stronger or be consumed. With only his instincts, evolving body, and the enigmatic Akashic System to guide him, he must claw his way forward, even as his very existence defies the natural order. But strength alone won’t be enough. In a world where Luminaries rise as heroes and Devils claim dominion in the shadows, he must choose—will he embrace the path of a monster, or carve his own fate into the fabric of the world itself?

In the magical Yarran World, a group of extraordinary professionals ventured into dangerous places for knowledge, wealth, thrill, and honor, exploring secrets hidden in the depths of time. Coexisting with dangers, they were given a fitting name—adventurers. With so many adventurers around, there would be a few oddballs, of course. Take for instance, the swordsman who used to be a thirsty hedonist and now spent his days looking for ways to put his life in danger; the knight who saw gold coins as his ultimate pursuit; the schizophrenic and overly curious priest, and the genius mage who was prone to zoning out and could not care of himself. What kind of strange stories would these kooky individuals create when they came together? Alright, all the above are just nonsense. In truth, this is a casual story of an abnormal, unscrupulous middle-aged man and a few problematic girls undergoing self-therapy- I mean, seeking redemption. You have been solemnly warned that this story is purely fictional. If there is any glaring similarity, you probably need self-therapy too.

Like any 18 year old high school student, Kim Ji-Hye was just busy struggling with expectations and exams. The biggest worries? Overbearing parents and college entrance exams. That, of course, was the case until she accidentally found herself in an unexpected circumstance that led straight into the glowing gates of death! One moment, she was zoning out on an empty school corridor. The next? She was smack in the middle of a field that was way too over dramatic with the moon lighting up the surrounding and to add to it all, questioning all her life decisions. “What the hell? Where the HELL AM I?" Before she managed to figure out whether she had been taken hostage, sedated, or was indeed deceased, the reality had another surprise in store for her. The field evaporated. She was now in a never-ending white void. “Ah right, that is just brilliant. Another case of teleportation. Is my life really that boring that I actually find this exciting?” “Why do you think so?” a deep, unbothered voice replied. Ji-Hye screamed. Floating, there in front of her was a god that was the epitome of ‘a literal god.’ “WHO ARE YOU?” The God sighed. “Welcome Ji-Hye. I do not really know how you made it here, but… yeah, this is awkward.” Ji-Hye blinked. “Am I dead?” "Is that your final guess?" "Nope." “Then where am I?” "Alternate reality." “And how did I get here?” "Because your universe's God did an ‘oopsie’ and misplaced you." “Excuse me?” Apparently, some celestial treasure named Ezekiel was supposed to keep her safely in her time screwed up so badly that she ended up in a reality she wasn’t even supposed to exist in. THANKS EZEKIEL! "So what now?" Ji-hye asked, still trying to process the fact that divine beings are capable of making stupid mistakes The god who introduced himself in a head-turning fashion as Kashigami sighed once more. “Well, I need to send you back… but the thing is, I have no clue which universe is yours. So it might take some time.” “And how long is ‘some time’?” “Perhaps 500 years.” Ji-hye’s eyes had never been so wide. “WHAT IN THE FU–” And there started the journey which I (the author) could describe in many different ways, but for Ji-hye, it was undoubtedly the most unhinged. ✨ READ NOW TO FIND OUT: ✔ How does Ji-hye handle being an anomaly? ✔ Will Kashigami ever be useful?

Five years ago, the Abyss Gates shattered the fragile boundaries between Earth and the Realm of Shadows, unleashing horrors beyond human comprehension. With civilization on the brink of collapse, humanity's only hope emerged in the form of the Rifters—individuals gifted with the ability to traverse the Abyss and combat the darkness threatening their world. Among these Rifters was Kael Draven, a D-rank warrior often derided as the "Gate's Dead Weight." Weak, penniless, and scorned for his lack of skill, Kael eked out a meager existence by braving the lowest-tier gates, dreaming of a life beyond his rank while barely surviving the dangers he faced. Everything changed on the day he stumbled into a Breached Rift—a forbidden zone that should never have existed. Cornered by a Shadow Behemoth and facing certain death, Kael was offered an impossible choice: perish or inherit the cursed Abyssal Core, a power whispered to corrupt any who dared to wield it. He chose survival. With the Abyssal Core now bonded to him, Kael discovered its whispers carried secrets no other Rifter could hear. This newfound power allowed him to wield both light and shadow, granting him the strength to transcend mortal limits and reshape the very fabric of the Abyss itself. From the weakest Rifter to the unstoppable Abyss Walker, Kael’s rise was destined to shatter all who dared to oppose him. In the realm of shadows, he was no longer the hunted. He had become the hunter.

In the sprawling waste zones of Ashfield, a city choked by the refuse of a broken society, Jack Vesper sorts through discarded junk with no real future in sight. At 25, he's just another misfit, another person tossed aside by the world, now working a grueling job as a garbage sorter. The days are monotonous, but when he stumbles upon a strange, black metal sphere buried deep in the trash, everything changes. Curious, Jack presses a hidden button on the sphere, releasing a small black chip into his hand. It feels heavy with mystery and potential, too precise to be just another piece of discarded tech. With no one else around on a slow Saturday shift, Vesper pockets the chip and continues his work, unaware that this seemingly insignificant object is about to pull him into a new, dangerous world. Jack's curiosity gets the better of him, and he travels to a long-forgotten lab on the outskirts of the city. The lab, once a hub for cutting-edge research, is now abandoned, its halls lined with old maps, blueprints, and cryptic notes. As he begins to study the charts, he discovers a book of labyrinths spanning the globe-labyrinths not just made of stone, but of technology and power, their existence hidden from the world. Some of these labyrinths hold secrets of unimaginable value; others, unfathomable dangers. The chip seems to be a key-a gateway into these labyrinths. As Jack begins to piece together the labyrinth's secrets, he realizes that it could lead him to a power unlike anything the world has ever known. But with that power comes the threat of those who would stop at nothing to control it. The line between friend and foe blurs, and Vesper must navigate not only the physical maze but the twisted web of secrets and lies surrounding him. The adventure begins with one small chip-and the future depends on what Jack discovers within the labyrinth's depths.

Driven by sorrow and guilt, Zein became a mercenary guide in the land bordering the forbidden Deathzone, working like a suicidal monk. One day, an overbearing Esper suddenly appeared and told him, “If you’re so hellbent to die, why don’t you come with me to the Deathzone?” A strange proposition, a nostalgic smirk.

But there’s no such thing as love in the deathzone...is it? * * * The story is set in a sentinel-verse, so there will be: - Sentinel (Esper) and Guide - Dungeon! - Romance - Action - …smut? ;) It’s a (kinda) love story wrapped in dungeon system shenanigans, with abilities and action and whatnot

Terra II, a world divided into seven vast 'plates', where endless deserts and ominous black zones carve through the land. It is a place haunted by horrors from beyond existence and nightmares birthed from within. 1635 of the Common Era, an age where the very idea of happiness has been left behind. Here, no story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a wrong word, a fleeting gesture—can seal your fate before you even realize it. At the heart of this desolate world is Seraniti Desdemona, a woman whose life has been defined by loss. Her parents, ones she knew little of, were replaced by strangers in the aftermath of tragedy—only to die again, only to be taken care of by 'Elk' leaving her adrift in a cruel and indifferent world. Each day is a test of endurance, battling the Mengaðr that wander the land she walks upon, and the 'visitors' who cross through the 'door', only to die by their own foolishness. In a world so unrelenting, where trust is a fragile illusion and loyalty is a fleeting dream, how long can one endure before breaking? Seraniti fights not because she wants to, but because there is no other choice. Every decision she makes chips away at what remains of her conscious, yet the alternative is worse: surrendering to the darkness that threatens to consume her and everything she holds dear. Terra II offers no promises, only pain—but even in the face of an inevitable end, Seraniti stands, battered and unyielding, daring to face the horrors and make her choice, if only to survive one more day. ----------------------- Don't like strong strong language and all that jazz, THIS AINT FOR YOU!

The Third Dimension is collapsing. The Fourth Dimension is descending. First it seemed that only technology would evolve, but who knew the world itself could too? It wasn’t as simple as climate change or tectonic movement. No, the fundamental laws of physics that governed everything were changing. Leonel was fairly lucky. His family was decently well off, his father loved him enough to brew vomit inducing nutrient rich smoothies every morning, and this was both the day of the National Championship and his 521st confession to his dream girl, Aina. As his father always said, nothing was more important than respect and persistence. Unfortunately, everything changed that night. At the after party of ages, the world reached a saturation point and an apocalypse descended. Abilities awakened. Sub-Dimensional Zones opened. Invalids rampaged through the Earth like a virus... Those who could evolve would have a slim chance for survival. Those who couldn’t would die. This novel will be a unique spin on the dungeon/system genre. Dungeons won't be dungeons and the system won't be a system...

Good looks. Successful career. Stable finances. And a ten-story apartment building in the heart of Seoul. Cedric Lim, an earnest and clean-cut 29-year-old novelist, has everything he needs to finally focus on writing his own love story. However, he cannot find the connection he wants with just anyone for some reason. His conquests during the recent years often take on a cheating plot, fubu-zoned plot, and I-like-you-but-I’m-not-into-monogamy plot. With successive failures in dating, Cedric finally decided to stop! He’s never the type to cry over failed relationships and never the kind who chases after someone who didn’t like him, so what’s the harm if he stopped going out, right? Time ruthlessly passed, and he didn’t notice that he’d been single and barren for five years! Now, Cedric Lim often fantasizes about himself miserably leaning against the wall, slowly falling down as he questions himself where he went wrong. “I'm the perfect combination of cute and handsome! I worked really hard to get these four-pack abs, and I am a freaking landlord in Seoul! Why isn’t there anyone who wants to date me!” Cedric roared on his rooftop during one of his rare drunken fits. “Then date me!” One handsome man with chillingly pale skin appeared seemingly out of thin air. He’s not just any hot stranger who happened to be hanging around the rooftop. He’s Dylan Kim, Cedric Lim’s new tenant and ex-best friend-slash-first crush from high school. The brute dropped him like a hot potato and disappeared after discovering he was into men. Dylan severely wounded Cedric’s trust, so now, even though he’s back in his life as a renewed man, Cedric swears he will never ever let himself be involved with his almost-first love. But what if there’s something more in Dylan’s disappearance? He’s not only back as a renewed man. He’s also back as a full-fledged vampire, and he’s not only here to suck Cedric’s blood. He’s also here to set things straight and resume the romance that is abruptly cut due to an accident his— untimely turning into a vampire. However, with Cedric being jaded with love and misunderstandings, can Dylan win Cedric’s trust? Will the unresolved misunderstanding for more than 13 years finally be corrected?

Blood pooled across the floor, the sharp metallic scent mixing with the stifling air. Their teacher’s lifeless body lay crumpled, a gaping hole where his forehead had been. The entire class stood frozen, paralyzed by fear as the strange, unfeeling object hovered, its crimson sensor scanning the room like a predator sizing up its prey. Jin Dalle’s heart thundered in her chest, her trembling hands gripping the edge of her desk as her wide, terrified eyes darted toward the window. Above the school, it loomed—a machine neither bird nor beast, its cold, metallic surface glinting in the sunlight. Then, like a curtain of despair, an impenetrable barrier encased the campus, a shimmering dome stretching across the horizon. A cold, mechanical voice pierced the silence: "Commencing Operation REJUVENATION. Initiative 21—status: green. Attention: all humans in Zone 1 (Paradisus). Only two subjects will be permitted to exit the dome alive. Any attempt to escape will result in immediate incineration. T-minus 1,260 seconds to initiation." Panic erupted as the weight of the announcement settled. This was no test, no cruel joke. It was survival—an unspeakable game of life and death. Jin’s knees buckled under the pressure. She couldn’t kill. How could she? But survival demanded more than resolve; it demanded blood. Beside her stood Choi Minhee, her expression cold, her resolve sharper than a blade. Minhee didn’t flinch at the thought of taking a life—she would do whatever it took to survive, even if it meant staining her hands red. Together, they must navigate the abyss of betrayal, desperation, and despair. Trust is fragile, and hope is fleeting. As the dome becomes their battlefield, only two truths remain: death lurks in every shadow, and luck, that fickle mistress, could be their savior—or their undoing. Jin and Minhee must fight through hell, clinging to their wits, their instincts, and the faint, fragile thread of fortune. In a world where survival comes at the cost of humanity, who will be left standing when the dome finally falls?

At the moment his life ended, Ye Zhongming found himself thrown back ten years—to the afternoon when the apocalypse began. Was this a second chance granted by fate? Or was it yet another punishment? Did he truly have to endure the brutal, icy horrors of the end times all over again? Ye Zhongming was determined to survive. Not for himself, but for the comrades who had fought and bled alongside him, and for the love that had never abandoned him. But survival wasn’t enough. He needed answers. Why had countless roulettes emerged from the void? Why had thousands of deadly zones descended from the skies? Who—or what—had transformed this once-beautiful blue planet into a blood-soaked wasteland of corpses and ruin?

When the Grey Mist covers the earth, the miasma corrupts the creatures, and the threads manipulate the minds of others, those red eyes will rest upon humanity and the very order of the world will go mad. Humans will fade into the background, clinging to life as they always have. In the first era, someone stayed. In the second era, someone woke up. In the third era, someone will rise again and again. Let the steam roar! Let the ancient technology shine! Let the battle between humanity and the anomalies, the oddities, the contamination zones never cease! May my Pneuma allow me to take this mortal body to challenge these beings! May my axe resonate with my heart! In the end, only humanity will remain, by hook or by crook! ------------------------- Cover made using AI.

In the sprawling metropolis of Arcanova, where skyscrapers pierce the clouds and neon lights mask the shadows, the world of humans is not as ordinary as it seems. Beneath the surface lies a hidden society of mythical beasts—dragons, phoenixes, kitsunes, and more—living among humanity, bound by an ancient truce known as the Aether Pact. Eighteen-year-old Kai Sullivan has always lived on the edge, scraping by as a courier for a shady magical delivery service. But his life takes a dangerous turn when he accidentally forms a forbidden life bond with Ignis, a rogue dragon prince exiled from his clan. This unbreakable connection thrusts Kai into a secret world of power struggles, ancient prophecies, and a brewing conflict that threatens to destroy the fragile balance between humans and beasts. Hunted by powerful clans and mistrusted by his own allies, Kai must uncover the truth behind the bond that ties him to Ignis. Together, they’ll navigate treacherous alliances, unravel the mysteries of the Veil Zones, and confront a prophecy that foretells the collapse of both worlds. As the lines between friend and foe blur, and the weight of destiny grows heavier, Kai and Ignis face an impossible choice: will they become the saviors of a broken world—or its ultimate destroyers?
