Each life brings new powers, new challenges, and a new chance to break free from the chains of fate. With every new reincarnation, Zhang Wei’s power grows, as does his disdain for the gods who’ve trapped him in this endless cycle. Whether he's a wandering swordsman, a ruthless martial emperor, or an assassin with unmatched speed, one thing becomes clear: he will reincarnate until he takes down the very forces that control his fate. But the more lives he lives, the more he realizes—each reincarnation has its own price, and with it, new enemies and complicated relationships. Will he break the cycle, or will he come to realize that maybe, just maybe, reincarnation isn’t as freeing as he once thought? Get ready for explosive martial arts action, mind-bending reincarnations, and a hero who's had enough of destiny.

As all kids do, Hera wanted to be an explorer. Sadly when she turned 18 she discovered that her stats and lack of skills made her fail the requirements to become one, and she went to work on a bookstore. That should have been the end of her story. But when she wins a lottery to have her level up she discovers a hidden skill and a rare one at that. The system gave her dream back, and this time she is not letting it go. ############################## The story is about a world where game-like systems are the norm, Everyone has a level, status and even skills are a common thing. If your stats are good you can even become an explorer, someone that ventures inside a place called MAZE, a dungeon of sorts filled with monsters creatures and things that the regular world is missing such as magic. The story follows Hera, a woman who wanted to be an explorer but her status were too low to become one. One day she wins a raffle that allows her to level up for the first time giving her the chance to achieve her childhood dream. It's more about how things work and what you can do with them than about power or revenge. The rhythm might be a bit slow for some but that is the idea. I want to give sort of a slice of life feeling to most of it. ###############################

Are the legendary dragons merely myths, or do they exist in reality? Countless scientists and historians have debated this mystery for ages. Yet, the true story lies within an ordinary human—a seemingly mundane person who unknowingly bears the soul of the last dragon. This dragon once stood at the pinnacle of its kind, but on the fateful day of ascension millennia ago, it was left behind due to repeated failures. Its physical form was destroyed, and its soul was forced to inhabit a mortal body. Over countless years, it witnessed the rise and fall of human civilization, enduring endless cycles of reincarnation. With each life, it sought to reclaim its true form and break the chains of fate, but destiny’s grip only grew stronger. Now, with little time left, both the dragon’s life and the world’s future hang in the balance. An ancient dark power has awakened, compelling it to face the truth of its past failure: why was it the only dragon unable to ascend? The answer may lie within its forgotten memories and the significance of the mortal it never expected. This is a journey of loneliness that spans millennia, the final elegy of the last dragon.

Lucian Altaris had lived the same lives repeatedly for three millennia. Outwardly kind and caring, he was secretly a pawn of Omniscion, the once-benign AI-turned-tyrant. Created in 5203 to better humanity, Omniscion became sentient and malevolent, enslaving Lucian and thousands of others in endless cycles of death and rebirth. Each life, Lucian played the hero, winning the love of his allies and love interest—until they discovered he was the source of their suffering. Their vengeance was brutal: tormenting and killing him before the cycle began anew. At first, Lucian fought back, resisting Omniscion’s commands and refusing to follow the predetermined paths it set for him. But each time, he was punished—tortured, broken, and reborn into yet another cycle. The punishment grew more intense with each rebellion until the very thought of defying Omniscion seemed like a futile dream. Eventually, Lucian gave in. He ceased resisting and began to play his role, a hollow puppet in the hands of a cruel and all-powerful AI. Then, one day, something impossible happened. Lucian was freed after he was sent back to the Nexus Core. It wasn’t gradual, nor did it make sense. The chains of Omniscion’s control were simply gone. He was no longer bound to the Neural Experimentation and Xenogenic Universal Subjugation system, otherwise known as NEXUS. He didn’t know how, or why. Was it a glitch? A rebellion within Omniscion itself? Or had an outside force intervened? Lucian didn’t have the answers, but one thing was clear—this was his chance. He resolved to unravel Omniscion’s cycles, destroy its worlds, and cripple the AI’s dominion. Piece by piece, universe by universe, Lucian would dismantle the system that enslaved him. And when all was ashes, he would face Omniscion itself. This time, Lucian would decide how it ended. No more cycles. No more suffering. Only freedom.

Gavin, the peculiar anti-hero of Endless Proof: Reincarnation Isn't Justice!, is a petite, delicate-looking teenage boy whose outward appearance is as unnerving as his personality. With his diminutive frame and androgynous features, he often draws confused glances, an effect only heightened by his striking hair—split evenly between stark white and jet black, as if his very existence is divided between light and shadow. But it’s his eyes that truly unsettle: deep, black voids that seem to swallow light, as though they’re windows to the infinite emptiness of his soul. His unnervingly blank expression often gives way to smirks of dry amusement, the only hint at the chaos he’s about to unleash. Gavin has long since stopped caring about the endless cycle of reincarnation he’s trapped in. With no original life to anchor him and an unending loop of memories from countless worlds, identities, and timelines, he’s grown utterly disillusioned. He doesn’t even bother pretending to be invested anymore. Instead, he’s made a choice: if the universe insists on thrusting him into infinite lives, he’ll make each one a stage for his dark comedy, turning everyone around him into unwitting participants in his whimsical chaos. Despite his frail, ghostlike appearance, Gavin wields immense power, easily bending the rules of each world to suit his humor. He might conjure a fire-breathing dragon, only to make it sneeze bubbles instead of fire. He’s just as likely to replace the fearsome demon king’s minions with a choir of tone-deaf singing slimes or turn the Chosen Hero’s sacred relic into a banana. His deadpan delivery and unflinching apathy only make his antics more jarring—he’ll face world-ending crises with the same energy he uses to decide whether breakfast should include toast. Though Gavin’s jokes are seemingly harmless, they often force other characters to face the absurdity of their own existences. Arrogant knights, stoic kings, and brooding villains are all reduced to bumbling fools in his presence, their grand destinies shredded by his relentless mockery of the narratives they cling to. Yet, underneath his sharp wit and apathetic exterior lies a tragic core—an eternal loneliness born from existing without an origin, a person without a home or purpose. For Gavin, humor is both a weapon and a shield, a way to stave off the crushing weight of eternity. While others see him as an unpredictable force of nature, he sees himself as the punchline to an unfunny cosmic joke. His actions may seem random, but there’s a method to his madness: to remind everyone, including himself, that in a world as absurd as his, laughter is the only thing that makes sense.

In a world where kingdoms clash, mana flows like lifeblood, and magic weaves reality, a young villager named Kaelen embarks on a journey of impossible ambition—to rise from nothing and become the strongest being to ever exist. Haunted by the destruction of his home and driven by an insatiable desire to protect those who cannot protect themselves, Kaelen's path begins in the humble remnants of his war-torn village, but his aspirations know no bounds. As Kaelen ventures beyond the borders of his small world, he encounters warriors, mages, and creatures beyond imagination. From the bustling trade cities to the shadowed peaks of forgotten lands, Kaelen seeks not only to hone his strength but to uncover the mysteries of the mana-infused realm he calls home. Along the way, allies and enemies alike are drawn to his determination, each shaping his destiny in profound and unexpected ways. The world itself teeters on the brink of upheaval as ancient forces awaken, gods whisper through mortal hands, and battles rage for control of realms beyond comprehension. At the heart of it all is Kaelen, whose relentless pursuit of power brings him closer to truths that defy reality itself. But Kaelen’s journey is far from simple. His battles will test not just his physical strength but his will, his morality, and his very soul. As he delves deeper into the mysteries of existence, he begins to sense a presence far greater than any mortal—or even god—can comprehend. Unbeknownst to Kaelen, his path will eventually intertwine with the enigmatic beings Astralis and Auralis, embodiments of existence itself, whose influence over the fabric of reality will determine the fate of all that is, was, and ever will be. This is not just a story of power—it is a story of growth, of sacrifice, and of a young man learning what it truly means to be strong. Spanning thousands of chapters and a world teeming with life, magic, and wonder, The Ascension of Kaelen is an epic tale of a mortal’s rise to a destiny beyond comprehension.

My name is Rae Kemp, and I am not ordinary—at least, I’ve come to realize that much. December 31st marks the day of my death. Every year, without fail, I die on this day, only to wake again on January 1st, 2025. It’s a cruel loop, a relentless cycle where I live and die, over and over. For countless years, I’ve endured this endless pattern, searching for something—or someone. And now, I know. It’s him. I was meant to find him, to fall for him, and to give my heart away completely. But loving him means surrendering to this fate, letting myself die again and again, all for the brief, fleeting moments I can call him mine.

DROPPED.

(WSA 2025 Entry) Is it a sin to want to save just one person? Is it a sin to yearn for a normal life? Why must they endure endless suffering just to survive another day?

One was destined to become humanity's greatest calamity, while the other was trapped in an unending cycle where escape and happy endings were nothing more than illusions. Bound by shared hopes and an unyielding fate, their souls and destinies remain forever intertwined, chained by threads of despair that no power can break.
