Warcraft Resurrection

Just by an accident, the whole world underwent mutation. The deceased resurrected, genes morphed, spiritual energy revived, mountains rose, underground pits appeared, and evil land of the dead emerged. Ghosts emerged, some people developed three heads and six arms, some acquired martial arts secret scripts, but it’s hard for commoners to even survive. Fortunately, I acquired the Mutation Technique, which allows all sorts of objects to mutate: books, fruits, weapons.

One morning, while searching online for deals on in-game currency, I stumbled upon a website offering an unbelievable discount for my favorite game, World of Warcraft. The offer seemed too good to pass up, so I quickly paid NZD 5000, expecting the currency to appear in my account shortly after. However, hours turned into days, and nothing happened.

In a world where immortality comes at a harrowing cost, those afflicted with the Semi-Immortal disorder walk a perilous path between life and death. Gifted by the Goddess Amritkala, these individuals cheat death but pay dearly—each resurrection scars their minds, bodies, and souls. Viewed as unnatural abominations by society, Semi-Immortals face prejudice and violence, their existence deemed a threat to the natural order. Leading the crusade against them is the Crossed Clan, a ruthless cult bent on eradicating these "parasites" with weapons designed to siphon their essence. In opposition stands the Whitehorse Agency, a covert organization offering sanctuary to Semi-Immortals, fighting to protect them from relentless persecution. Caught in the crossfire, the Semi-Immortals struggle to survive, their existence a battleground for humanity’s fear and morality. Among them is 19-year-old Ivianna (Ivy) Reyna, whose life has been marked by cruelty and betrayal. At 15, Ivy ended her life, only to be reborn as a Semi-Immortal, cursed to live on with a past that haunts her and a resurrection she never wanted. Her life changes when she meets Violet, a transgender girl whose own experiences with rejection and trauma mirror her own. Violet’s warmth and understanding become a lifeline for Ivy, offering her the connection she craves. As their bond grows, Ivy learns from the Whitehorse Agency that she is not just any Semi-Immortal but a rare Wildling, with powers tied to her death and childhood. This revelation thrusts Ivy into the heart of the conflict between the Crossed Clan and the Whitehorse Agency, forcing her to confront her identity and the responsibilities her powers demand. "Semi-Immortal" is a powerful tale of survival, identity, and the search for belonging in a world that fears what it cannot understand. It is a story of scars that never heal, bonds forged in the dark, and the courage it takes to face a broken world—and oneself.

Blood and Sorcery – A world of power, a fate rewritten by forbidden magic. Lyrien should have died. He did die. But his mother, a powerful mage, broke the natural order to bring him back—at a terrible cost. Now, with only three days left before the spell unravels and claims him once more, he and his adopted sister, Elyreina, must find a way to survive. Hunted by Fallen Beasts drawn to his unnatural existence, pursued by unseen forces that want him erased, Lyrien's only hope lies within the Academy of Valor and Arcana—a place where warriors, mages, and knights ascend to greatness. But even there, secrets lurk in the shadows, and the truth behind his resurrection could change everything.

In the festering underbelly of Ironhaven, where the air itself is poison and shadows whisper of dead gods, a gutter rat named Kael commits a sin that changes everything: he steals a Shard. Not just a crystal—a sliver of a murdered deity, pulsing with venomous power that adapts. It grants him gifts but demands a price. Every five months, the Shard screams his location to the wastes, and the hunt begins. Now, marked by the Inquisition’s fire and hunted by phantoms of his past, Kael walks a razor’s edge. His allies are few: a woman with hollow eyes who's ambition and goal is unmatched, and a hound resurrected by his own tainted hands, her claws dripping soul-deep poison. But the Shard is no mere tool. It hungers. And as Kael’s alchemy of venom carves a path through enemies and allies alike, the line between savior and scourge blurs.

Warning: This novel contains explicit adult content, violence, and a ruthless anti-hero MC. Read at your own risk. I was the strongest player in the world—until they betrayed me. When I woke up, I wasn’t a player anymore. I was just an NPC. A nameless mob, doomed to be farmed for EXP and discarded like trash. But then, I heard it: (You have been killed.) (Unique Skill Activated: Infinite Resurrection.) (Each death makes you stronger.) Every time a player slaughters me, I steal their stats, their skills, and their power. I evolve beyond the system’s control, beyond the limits of this world. They thought I was nothing. They thought they could use me, farm me, erase me. Now, I am the final boss—and I will make them suffer. On the battlefield, and in my bed. They will submit. One way or another.

What is it?” Luna asked, raising an eyebrow. “You said you judged me. How did you do that? Why was I worthy?” Luna’s smile darkened, her eyes glowing with a dangerous intensity. "Despite knowing you would die, you didn’t pray to the gods. On the contrary, you declared that you would kill every single one of them like the dogs they are. In my life, you’re the only one who’s ever made such a declaration, which is why I couldn’t leave you behind—someone who dares to share my dream." ---------- If you’re brave enough to join us, the Abyss Watchers can be found here - https://discord.gg/3evkMwNyZC

However, his world is irrevocably shattered when he loses his only family member, his father, thrusting him into a chasm of grief. In a desperate attempt to bring his father back, Kaelan searches for the fabled "Grimoire of Revival," a mysterious tome rumored to possess the secrets of resurrection. During his relentless search, Kaelan stumbles upon an ancient library, where he accidentally activates the powerful magic within the book. To his dismay, he learns that the grimoire is not what it seemed—it is an ancient artifact of outworld magic that transports him to Starren, a vibrant realm brimming with magic and extraordinary beings, rather than providing the resurrection he sought. Upon his unexpected arrival at Aster Light Academy, the inhabitants mistakenly view him as a figure of immense power. In Starren, those of lower magical rank cannot sense the abilities of those higher than themselves, and Kaelan, devoid of any magical capabilities, is perceived as a powerful being beyond their comprehension. Amidst the admiration and reverence from students and faculty alike, he grapples with the weight of expectation and the façade he must maintain as an alleged paragon of strength. As he navigates the complexities of his new life, Kaelan is painfully aware that he is the weakest entity in the entire academy, vulnerable and in danger at every moment. Though he strives to honor his father's legacy and live a fruitful life in his place, he is burdened by the crushing pressure of his secret—that his supposed magic is nothing more than an illusion. Determined to uncover the true nature of magic and the secrets held within the Grimoire’s ancient power, Kaelan learns that understanding oneself can be more challenging than unraveling the mysteries of the arcane. Join him on a journey filled with humor, heart, and self-discovery, where the most powerful magic lies not in spells or illusions, but in the strength of the spirit and the bonds we forge along the way.

With a broken core that can’t even light a campfire, he lives among the swamp’s refuse, cleaning up the magical crap the big shots toss without a second glance. That is, until a foul geyser and a junk-shop book—"How to Keep a Zoo at Home"—flip his luck in the most absurd way: a reverse portal that resurrects the ugly, weak creatures other Lords discarded as cannon fodder. His first summon is a warty anthropomorphic frog that spits in his face, and Renn, between curses and bitter laughs, fears he’s doomed to a "shitty zoo" forever. But when those forgotten scraps—frogs, banshees, medusas—start morphing into mythical goddesses of abysmal power and lethal beauty, the swamp turns into a battlefield the Lords will covet. Armed with explosive mud and a useless manual, Renn goes from "the stinker" to a Lord everyone wants to crush… or copy.
