Aot Stick Nodes

Peter is an 18-year-old high school student who seems to have it all—he’s charming, strong, and popular, especially with girls. But there’s a problem: he can’t stay faithful to anyone. He jumps from one relationship to the next, never sticking around long enough to truly care. Since he was born, Peter has struggled with depression, high blood pressure, and family problems. These issues have made it hard for him to love or commit. Now, the question is: Will he ever meet someone who truly changes his heart? Or will his problems make him more powerful and deadly.  

In a near-future Earth bathed in neon glow and hidden secrets, the Philosopher’s Network is a quantum digital realm where alchemy and technology fuse to reshape reality itself. Aiden Cross, a cynical ex-computer science student, stumbles into this hidden world after his brother Nolan’s mysterious death. With nothing but raw wit and an untrained spirit, Aiden begins a journey of inner cultivation and digital warfare. Guided by a cold mentor and challenged by a fierce rival, Aiden must unravel Nolan’s fragmented consciousness and stop the cult leader Father Ignis from enslaving minds through forced digital soul-harmony. As the boundary between reality and simulation blurs, Aiden fights to reclaim identity, freedom, and the future of human consciousness. Philosopher’s Node is a serialized urban fantasy blending cybercultivation, techno-mysticism, and cerebral duels, exploring the price of power, the meaning of legacy, and the struggle for self in a world ruled by code and spirit.

Reincarnation of the Magicless Pinoy: "No Magic?, No Problem!" Rowan Elian Grey was a former Philippine Army Ranger, trained in combat and tactical operations. He had seen his fair share of battles, from counter-terrorism missions to humanitarian aid deployments. His skills in marksmanship, hand-to-hand combat, and strategic planning made him a formidable opponent. After leaving the military, Rowan worked as a private security consultant, taking on high-risk missions that required his unique set of skills. It was during one such mission that he found himself in a tense standoff with terrorists holding hostages in a high-rise building in downtown Manila. With his exceptional training and quick thinking, Rowan infiltrated the building, taking out the terrorists one by one. He navigated through the smoke-filled hallways, his gun at the ready, until he finally reached the rooftop where the hostages were being held. In the end, Rowan's heroics came at a great cost. A bomb went off, and his life was cut short. And then... SHABAM! Rowan found himself reborn into a world where magic and fantasy creatures roamed free. But here's the twist - he's still without magic, and he's got to navigate this strange new world with nothing but his wits and his trusty gun. As he navigates this unfamiliar world, Rowan must rely on his resourcefulness and cunning to survive. When a group of bandits tries to rob him, one of them swings his stick at Rowan, prompting him to quip, "What can you do? Hit me with that stick?" Rowan responds with a single shot, and the bandits leader falls to the ground. "Yeah, I'll stab you with my bullets!" Rowan says with a smirk. Armed with his sharp instincts and a healthy dose of humor, Rowan proves that even without magic, he's a force to be reckoned with. Join him on his hilarious and action-packed journey as he shows the world that being magicless doesn't mean being powerless. #connected universe!

In her past life, Wan Chuo was unruly, taking a white lotus as her best friend, infuriated her mother to death, mistreated her in-laws, aborted her child, and ended up being despised by everyone, turning herself into a rotten wild flower. Heaven granted her a second chance, and this time she is determined to rip apart the facade of the white lotus. Hey, you there, in this life I planned to stay far away from you, not to wreak havoc on your family, so why are you sticking so close, what are you trying to do?!

Most people don't choose reincarnation. Reincarnation finds their way to them. Perhaps they did something great in their life. Or maybe truck-sama wasn't looking where it was going. But without fail, those who reincarnate are destined for something great. A new life where everything changes for the better. But... Reincarnation isn't always the greatest thing. Sometimes you just draw the short end of the stick. Di Tou just happens to have drawn the shortest stick. Pulled out of his life randomly. Taken by a crazy old eccentric man not as a disciple, but as a body double?! And a janitor body double no less?! Grasping a system to find... It's a JANITOR SYSTEM!? Truly, how unlucky can one get?

so, reincarnation huh? "a lot of good... a lot of bad... balanced karma." "good news you get one boon to bring with you to the next life. unfortunately for you though, you don't get to choose. totally random. ready?" join Apollo in his new life where through sheer luck (good or bad?) is raised by an all hungry, all dominant and all loving hivemind who will burn the galaxy just to see him smile.

Synopsis: Yuuya Kurose was no one. A quiet student. A forgettable face. Just another shadow in a crowded classroom. Then he started remembering everything. License plates seen once. Erased blackboard notes. Every word, every breath, every lie. > [Node Alignment: 0.01% – Background Sync Initiated] That’s when the glitches began. The cat meowed in static. The poster redrew itself. The hallway lost its echo. And Yuuya realized—he wasn’t gaining power. He was becoming something else. True Learning. A forbidden trait. Feared by gods. Hunted by systems. Born from nowhere. He doesn’t cast spells. He doesn’t swing a sword. He learns. And learning rewrites everything. Now the System is watching. The multiverse is shifting. And Earth, once silent, has been indexed. Yuuya wasn’t chosen. He was just the first one to be noticed. Other Works by the Author: Lord of the Void Realm — Cultivation, Void manipulation, and cosmic threat.

They left me to die. But this world had other plans. When our deep-space expedition crashed on a hostile alien planet, I thought the survivors would stick together. I was wrong. The moment the beasts came, my crew threw me to them—used me as bait to save themselves. I should’ve died out there. But death never came. Rescued by the native tribes who walk through ash and fire, I awoke in a world of primal gods, ancestral trials, and secrets buried in the soil. They didn’t know what I was—or what I could become. Neither did I. With broken tech, buried knowledge, and fire in my blood, I rose. And as I carved out a new place among these people, I asked myself: If I can lead them... should I? If those who betrayed me return... will I show mercy—or burn them to ash? In this world, survival is earned. And I was abandoned—so I will rise.

In a world shaped by pure imagination, those who visualize can bend reality. But only the rare Blanks wield Concepts—raw truths too powerful for ordinary minds to grasp.

Node is just the definition of ordinary and average whether in terms of skills or appearance, spending his life on the outskirts of the slum district, a place where human values are just a luxury, but that changes when death which should be the end becomes an unimaginable opportunity, even Node can't imagine how far he can go.

Stuck in the worst dream possible – the reality of my own creation. Here I am, not the all-powerful author, but an unsuspecting character, woken up in a beggar's body in the world of my own novel. How? Why? I don't know, but what I do know is that I need to survive. My memories of the story's plot are sketchy at best, but I remember enough to know I've got to stick to the main storyline. Life-or-death decisions, cryptic mysteries, formidable enemies, I wrote them all. Now I must face them firsthand. The irony would be delicious if it weren't so deadly. Am I stuck in my worst nightmare or have I been given a chance to rewrite my destiny? Only time will tell. Until then, I’ve got to survive in this Insane world, a plot to follow, and one hell of a story to write... by living it.

In a world where mana nodes inherently decode spells, acting as the pre-built magical processors of all mages, Zephyr awakens with just a single node, putting him at a disadvantage. Unconcerned with fame or glory, he initially shrugs off this profound limitation, even dismissing his father's final and seemingly useless gift. But when a relentless spiral of uncontrollable events threatens his very existence, Zephyr has to figure out a way to utilize his inherited legacy. His survival now depends on understanding the fundamental nature of mana nodes and how they tick in a world that takes the process for granted.  His method of conscious processing pushes the boundaries of conventional magic and draws the attention of formidable world powers and ancient noble houses. As Zephyr delves deeper, he begins to uncover disturbing truths about their world and the very origins of magic itself.  How would he navigate this treacherous landscape where every discovery could be his last? What to expect: - Unique power system that draws inspiration from modern processors. - Extensive character development and world building. - No harem - MC starts out weak and capped. Power is earned. - Mana cores, mana nodes, spell processing, noble houses, knowledge gatekeeping, great world powers, hidden factions, a touch of sci-fi, multiple worlds, soft kingdom building... Things to note: - I've got a mana processor in a magic world is going to be long. - The start might feel a bit slow as the world, characters, and power system get fleshed out, but things kick into high gear after the first major conflict. Updates : Daily. (7 chapters a week)

Synopsis In a modern world suddenly overrun by dungeons, monsters, and elemental chaos, an ordinary young man named Kai awakens a power long lost to time — the Elemental Soul Link. While most awakened humans gain limited systems that confine them to common combat roles like Fighter, Mage, Healer, or Assassin, Kai becomes something more: a conduit between fallen monsters and primal elements. With the unique ability to bind the soul of a defeated creature to elemental forces, Kai can summon monsters reborn through Water, Fire, Wind, and Lightning — each shaping his combat style and weapon in battle. But the elements don’t serve just anyone; they choose their host. And Kai’s connection runs deeper than power — it’s a pact of will, spirit, and purpose. As society fractures under the pressure of dungeon outbreaks and growing corruption, Kai must forge unlikely alliances and battle monsters warped by corrupted elemental nodes. Each dungeon holds both danger and truth — truths about the origin of the elements, the hidden war between factions, and his mysterious role as the first and only Soul Linker

LEGEND TELLS OF A HERO... Sir Stringsworth. A name once whispered by trembling dragons. The savior of plush kingdoms. Defender of pillow fortresses. A noble warrior carved not by the hands of fate, but by a dad with a pocketknife and a spare piece of nylon string. For years, Sir Stringsworth stood vigil in the arms of his master, slaying invisible beasts, surviving bathtime floods, and even singlehandedly winning the Great Stuffed Animal War of '09. But legends never die quietly. On one fateful picnic day, Sir Stringsworth met his doom. Not in battle. Not in fire or shadow. But beneath the hooves... of a baby cow. A “trusted steed,” they said. The family’s adorable farm mascot, they said. Betrayed. Flattened. And, as fate would have it, the cow had recently stepped in something vile left behind by the dog. As darkness claimed him, Sir Stringsworth—warrior, protector, stick—uttered his final thought: “Tragic… but at least I died beautiful.” And thus, the world lost a hero. Or so it thought.

Now reincarnated into a fantasy world where goblins roam and dragons roast knights for breakfast, he finds himself bonded with the Mission-Driven Power-Up System (MDPUS for short—yeah, try saying that five times fast). The catch? The system never stops talking, throws ridiculous quests at him, and has a store filled with everything from basic sword skills to “Ultra Giga Dragon-Slicing Headbutt EX.” Armed with sarcasm, a wooden stick, and an overpowered shopping cart, Kaito embarks on a journey filled with action, dumb luck, snarky banter, and explosive misunderstandings.
