Leonard Strahm 30 years old, can sense and experience the minds and feelings of other humans - an inherited psychic gift from his mother and developed from childhood in the laboratory of the CIA's MK-Ultra program, formerly run by his ex-military father. Now, Leonard's twin brother Lawrence who was also part of the experiment, is found dead under suspicious circumstances while he worked on a special, secretive project of his own. While their mother, Dorothea, who reluctantly partook in the MK-Ultra experiments at the urging of her beloved husband, Jack Strahm, is on the verge of an emotionally induced psychological implosion that could ultimately undermine her living son's pursuit of the truth. Leonard must navigate a hidden world of covert experiments, psychic warfare, and family betrayal to find answers, exact revenge and possibly save humanity. But the deeper he delves, the more he questions whether he's chasing truth and justice or walking into a trap designed specifically for him.

Magic is the programming language of the world. But in a fantasy world, nobody has ever heard about programming. That is, nobody except Aurea. Formerly known as Aurora, she was reborn with all the knowledge she brought from Earth. She spent the 40 years of her previous life studying society, science, programming, hermetism, mythology, and alchemy. She died financially broke and emotionally broken, but all her accumulated knowledge and her nerdiness are about to pay off. She starts her life as the daughter of a slave, set against impossible odds from the beginning. But if incantations work as a programming language, then she knows exactly what to do to turn the tables. Words and syntax were the bread and butter of her former life, and material components look more like APIs and plugins. She didn’t meet a Goddess, wasn’t summoned like a hero, didn’t have a System giving her an ability. Instead, she was just dropped there to fend for herself. But with her knowledge, she doesn’t need a cheat skill. She is the cheat herself. Discord https://discord.gg/rrFNCtvCHZ ::: Update Schedule is according to my time, which means Brazil Time (GMT -03). I wouldn’t be able to keep track of all timezones and the ever-floating Summer Saving Times and stuff, so you can either calculate it to your timezone, or just get used, because it won’t be changing for some time (I hope never, actually). I’m keeping some stockpiled chapters and always getting the posts scheduled, and any unforeseen circumstances will be explained in time. Every day: 09 AM and 04 PM (BRT, which is GMT -03) ::: What NOT to expect in this novel: - Explicit sex content - Depiction of slavery in any “good side” or “positive light”. Slavery is Evil, period. - The MC to enter a straight relationship - Harem - NTR - Any form of race superiority or inferiority discourse - Sexism - Random banter about food or entire chapters dedicated to food (I mean, I love food as much as anyone else, I’m just too tired of every single isekai novel having entire chapters describing food) What TO expect in this novel: - A slowburn story - Brain beats brawn - Action scenes, though they aren’t the first focus - The MC may enter romantic relationships, but they take more of a backstage role - People trying to live healthy polyamorous relationships. They might succeed or fail, but the important thing is that this isn’t about one person taking center stage and everyone else worshipping them - Sex might be mentioned or implied, but never more than that - Sometimes the characters might use strong language - Sadism - No, really. Sadism. Aurea might be originally a 40-year-old from Earth, but a child's brain is a child's brain, and very susceptible to trauma. The roughness of the environment of her upbringing might warp her personality a bit. This isn’t to say that she will be down a villainess path. She will just have some pleasure in making evil people suffer. Think Yae Miko in her character demo, “Anecdote of a Divine Kitsune Guuji”, you can find it on YouTube. It’s that kind of “ludic sadism”. - I’m not really sure on the level of… description of those scenes, yet. I think that when I get close to that, I’ll put up a poll to see your thoughts on the matter. It will take some time to get there, though.

“A soldier drafted into a war he never chose.” “The galaxy’s deadliest program just chose him.”

The universe is vast. Its Verses are endless. When the Ascension Program began, many worlds were pulled into it. Humanity was one of them. Every person was cast into a strange new land and stripped of comfort. Some fought. Some died. Others adapted. Separated from his family, Kai didn’t ask for much — just time. He believed that sooner or later, humans would come to dominate this world. So he became an alchemist. With a quiet room, a pile of herbs, and a couple of Gifts, Kai chose the slow path — brewing pills, learning, and surviving day by day… …until he could one day reunite with his family. Author's Note: The Alchemist is part of a series called Ascension Program, which follows multiple main characters across the same Verse. The first arc of Kai’s story is fully written and will be updated daily. Once it concludes, the second story — Absolute Control — will begin. Author Note 2: The Patreon is live and readers can read up to 5 chapter early for free, without any subscription. Check out, patreon.com/BurningSun843 Upload time is 4:00 PM UTC daily.

Transmigrated into the future, Nash, once the father of the first true Artificial Intelligence and the richest man on Earth, found himself reduced to a nameless vagrant, the lowest of the low. Stripped of power and identity, he faced a world that had evolved beyond his imagination. Fortunately, in this bleak new reality, Nash uncovered a hidden gift: the ability to program his body. Once a linguistic genius, a pioneer who gave commands to artificial intelligence with precision and brilliance. What twist could he do now that he is given the ability to program his body? Can't control every fiber of your body? → [Control Module System] Tired of endless training? → [Training Module System] Too weak in combat? → [Combat Module System] Need perfect memory? → [Memory Module System] In a world ruled by technology and extraordinary, watch how Nash reforge his destiny as he uncovers the deepest secrets of his body. "This time, I won’t build a god. I’ll become one."

[WSA ENTRY 2025] ... "There is no god, only the echo of our fears, bound together in a symphony of false hope, woven to make this endless cycle of pain bearable... But I refuse to be just another note in their song. I will not be silenced to protect the gate you so desperately uphold. I don’t care for the blind masses; they are but shadows, moving without purpose. If I cannot run, I will walk. If I cannot walk, I will crawl. If I cannot crawl, I will roll. And if all that remains of me is a severed head, then I will still glare at you with the scorn of the relentless." ... In a world where Hunters fight to keep humanity safe from monstrous invasions, Timothy Walter is nothing more than an E-rank weakling, expendable, powerless, and barely surviving. That changes when a forgotten dungeon forces him into a deadly trial, awakening ancient rulers from across races. Bound to the weakest among them, he inherits a power unlike any other: "King Player." Now, with a system that defies all logic, Timothy must carve his path, facing enemies both human and monstrous, as he ascends from the lowest depths to claim a throne none believed he could reach. AUTHORS NOTE: I put it under a restricted audience because of the following reasons; There is a huge amount of blood and gore meaning a lot of action and adventure. An equally adequate amount of romance with a pinch of R18 just to emphasize the points. Don't take the world-building to heart; Nigeria is better than that Kinda... If you survive the first volume, then keep it up after dropping your thoughts in reviews. I upload 1500+ words per chapter, and that means I may not participate in many chapter giveaways except when milestones are reached. Again, I appreciate your advice, thoughts, and criticism even more. The synopsis will keep changing as the story progresses. And yes, It's the familiar hunter's trope spun around in my head because I love the solo leveling light novel, so... have a fun read, I hope.

Nexus Online—a game launched by an unknown publisher—was shunned at first but became the world's most popular phenomenon within a year. From its virtual landscapes, players rose as superstars, industries poured billions into sponsoring high-ranking players, and guilds flourished into powerful factions. But Nexus was no mere game. Slowly, its reality began to seep into the real world. Stats, skills, and items crossed over, creating a global sport—and a new world order. Guilds thrived, corporations strengthened, and humanity stood in awe. But none of it could stop the Fracture, the day the creatures of Nexus broke into reality. Only one person was chosen to stop it, but he failed. Raine Shepard failed. 400 regressions. 400 deaths. 400 failures. He had tried everything—alliances, betrayals, brute force, treasure hunts—but nothing worked. The Fracture always came. On his 400th attempt, broken and on the brink of surrender, Raine awaited death. But as the final blow struck, the treasure bound to him—the Key of Eternity—activated on its own. For the first time in three years, he regressed again. But this time, something was different. “You’re really stubborn, you know that? It seems like you can’t do this alone,” a voice said. A mysterious AI, one that called itself Echo, emerged from the shadows of the Nexus system. It offered him something new: knowledge, guidance, and the possibility of success. The goal? To unlock the Ascendancy Protocol, a mythical program hidden within Nexus Online that could shatter the level cap and grant limitless potential. To achieve it, Raine must take a new path—a path to find the five other Keys of the game hidden deep within Nexus. “Maybe, just maybe, this time I can succeed…” But in a world where the lines between game and reality blur, "maybe" is never a guarantee.

He soon learns that his forgotten past holds a monstrous secret, and the power he wields is tied to a nature he was never meant to have. As he battles fanatical cults and shadowy political forces, Niata is forced to confront a horrifying reality: he may not be the hero the world needs, but a weapon designed for its destruction. His greatest battle will not be for the fate of the planet, but for the humanity of his own soul.

In 2025, Avalon—the most legendary MMORPG to have reigned supreme for two decades—announced it would be shutting down its servers on July 12th. Rian Septiawan, Guild Master of Avanheim, resolved to stay loyal until the very end, remaining in the Throne Room of Avanheim Castle until the servers shut down for good. But when the final second passed, a miracle occurred. He was not forcibly logged out by the system. Instead, he remained inside Avanheim. The NPCs, once simple programs, began to show consciousness, and the digital world felt entirely real. It seemed he had been transported to another world, just like in a fantasy novel. This time, Rian swore an oath to himself. He would no longer be a loser. In this new world, he would be the victor. To establish an empire. To conquer the world. This is the beginning of the Great Path of Conquest.

In a world where American football has become the number one global sport even in countries like Japan, Brazil, Nigeria, and Jamaica one high school fights to reclaim its fallen legacy. T.B.C. Private High was once the pride of Jamaican football. A powerhouse that bred legends. A school that broke records and borders. But now? They can’t even win a district game. That changes when a new principal steps in with a vision and a secret weapon. At the helm of his bold new program: a four-time Super Nova champion, former World MVP, and one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. His mission? Resurrect T.B.C. Win the NFS (National Football Series). Topple the Jamaican national team. And conquer the Super Nova. In this school, only the elite survive. Old talent won’t save you. Politics and legacy mean nothing. You either evolve or get cut. The fire has been lit. The world is watching. Can a small island nation rise to challenge global titans like the U.S., Russia, and Germany? The revolution begins now.

Haruki Tenma is the kind of boy no one ever notices twice. Calm, quiet, and a little too good at staying invisible. His only real passion? Capturing fleeting moments through the lens of his camera. Miyako Hanabira is the girl everyone notices. Loud, stylish, unpredictable and way out of Haruki’s league. She’s the type who goes viral without trying and laughs in the face of rules. To her, Haruki was just a "safe friend" the background guy with a good heart and no game. Until one accidental photo submission... turns into a national contest win. And that photo? A cosplay shot of Miyako so perfect, so romantic, it gets them entered into a government-sponsored symbolic youth marriage program. Now they’re **secretly married**. Legally? Yes. Emotionally? Absolutely not. Romantically? …Well, that’s complicated. To avoid a scandal, the two agree to fake nothing, feel nothing, and just wait it out until graduation. But as they share mornings, dinners, house chores, festivals, and after-practice walks under cherry blossoms—something fragile and real starts to bloom between them. They’re not dating. They’re just married. So why does it feel like love?

Betrayed at the peak of his reign by the so-called Celestial Architects, Kael Draven — once the most feared Warlord in the Outer Heavens — is executed for defying the cosmic order. But instead of oblivion, he wakes in the trash heap of a dying lower realm… inside the body of a crippled sect slave. The world expects him to crawl. Instead, he walks — barefoot — into the battlefield and slaughters 50,000 cultivators. Armed with the Supreme Chaos System, a glitched god-level program that breaks all laws of cultivation, Kael doesn’t just seek revenge. He seeks to rewrite the code of reality itself — to crash the heavens, exploit the harem system, abuse karma points, and burn morality like outdated firmware. Cold, manipulative, and impossibly strategic, Kael turns sects, empires, and even immortals into tools or corpses. MILFs, GILFs, queens, and forbidden waifus gather like moths to the anomaly in the sky. After all, he’s not the protagonist of fate. He’s the bug that rewrites it.

> In a world without sin, one boy carries them all. Eidoria is a utopia ruled by divine code. Morality is scored. Emotions are regulated. And original sin? Long sealed away, exiled from human memory. Until now. IMER, a nameless orphan with no identity in the system, unlocks a forbidden cheat code buried deep in his soul: Sin-Eater_vΩ — the power to absorb, decode, and rewrite original sin. As he consumes Despair, Wrath, Envy and beyond, he uncovers the real story behind humanity’s “purification,” the lies of the Sanctifiers, and his own origin as a forgotten glitch in the divine program. The gods call him heretic. But he is more than a threat. He is the Last Sin Eater. Let the system tremble.

Lan Hengsheng was once the pride of the Lan Clan, a child prodigy with limitless potential—until his fifth birthday changed everything. Declared spirit coreless, he was abandoned by those who once praised him, dismissed as a mortal in a world ruled by cultivators. His so-called friends turned their backs on him, and the clan that once held him in high regard saw him as nothing more than a disappointment. But Hengsheng holds a secret—one that defies the natural laws of this world. Ding! [Make a wish]  He wished for everything! With the ability to create a system, he doesn’t need talent. He doesn’t need fate’s blessing. He can program his own path to immortality. Why struggle for enlightenment when he can create a Cultivation Optimization System? Why waste decades training when he can install a Time Acceleration System? Why risk his life searching for treasures when he can develop an Auto-Farming System? While other cultivators beg the heavens for guidance, Hengsheng writes his own cultivation manual. Armed with his cheat-like power, he will challenge geniuses, reshape sects, and rewrite the very foundation of cultivation itself. The strongest cultivator is a system maker!

Kenji Tanaka was just another burnt-out programmer in Tokyo until a fatal system error plunged him into a nightmare... or a new reality. Transported to Aethelgard, a world of vibrant magic and untold dangers, Kenji discovers his logical mind and programming skills manifest in an impossible way: he can see and "code" the very fabric of reality through a mysterious "System Architect Interface." With the small, spirited sylph Lyra as his guide, Kenji must learn to master his unique powers – from manipulating objects with mental "scripts" to creating Aether constructs – just to survive. But Aethelgard is being consumed by a dark plague known as the Blight, corrupting the land and its creatures into ravenous monsters. After witnessing the Blight's brutality at Greystone Crossing and finding a fragile refuge in the mountain village of Havenwood, Kenji realizes his arrival might not have been a mere accident. As tremors of war shake his new home and subterranean creatures threaten to annihilate everything, the programmer-turned-reality-architect must use every line of his "code" to protect the innocent and unravel the secrets behind his transmigration and the Blight's origin. Can a programmer from another world debug a reality on the brink of collapse, or will he be just another variable in an algorithm of destruction? Dive into "Chronicles of the Aether Architect" and find out if logic can triumph over dark magic.

Ashley Wilson was raised within an affluent and lovely family. This privilege offered her access to a well structured cognitive development. Growing up, she had a top-notch lifestyle, ranging from education to social. She rode on fundamental life’s principles. Her successes were significantly connected to her potent family background, alongside the determination and resolute spirit she exuded. Amidst these advantages, there loomed a major factor that could hinder her from getting the best in life, which was fear. Dispelling that trait would help in maximising her goals. Ashley almost slipped into depression, thinking her dad who happened to be a Lieutenant General was gone, and might not return home, due to a peacekeeping engagement. Her dad occupied an irreplaceable place in their lives. Will her spirit be revivified back to her lively state to keep pursuing her goals back in life? How seamless will her medical school dream be? What significant pressure will her choice of career portend in shaping her psyche and decision making pattern, bringing out a rounded and fulfilled person she had been programmed to be? In some circumstances, she doused the tension of dread or trepidation by bracing up to become successful through the odds. Similarly, her thoughts and decisions were processed to align with some sort of anxiety, dictating her choices. Other events revolved round the minor plot of a male character who was undaunted by his family’s past emotional and mental fear against suppressing his dream of a military career. The novel captures various scenarios of angst following certain occurrences. It’s chronicled through a developmental plot structure of anxiety. It further touches on love, passion, determination, successes and failure explored through diverse characters.

They developed specialised weapons and established a rigorous training program to empower those willing to fight back. Mikeal Park, a 16-year old boy, had lost everything to the pandemic: his parents, home, and sense of security. Consumed by hatred for the cannibals, he joined the training program, driven by a fierce determination to eradicate the creatures. But fate had other plans. Before embarking on his training, Mikeal was bitten by a cannibal, forever altering his existence. Now, he harbored a dark secret: he was becoming one of them.

Torn between his humanity and his newfound cannibalistic nature, Mikeal embarked on a perilous quest to find a cure, all while struggling to survive and conceal his secret from the world.

In the neon-lit ruins of a future Earth, where clones are manufactured to fight wars, follow orders, and die without asking why, Adam 141 is a glitch in the system. He's a failed clone. An echo. A memory they tried to erase. But when a mission goes wrong and he's entangled with another clone, Zen Zero, the prototype they buried, Adam uncovers a conspiracy that threatens the entire clone-controlled hierarchy. The Lambda System, a ruthless technocracy built on memory manipulation and recycled obedience, has kept its grip through fear, tech, and silence. Until now. Haunted by fragmented pasts, hunted by the very army he once served, and carrying stolen intel that could shatter reality, Adam must outrun kill-drones, decode corrupted memories, and awaken others like him, forgotten weapons discarded by a system afraid of its own creation. Beside him stands Aomi, a rogue data-runner who remembers what love is—something Adam was never programmed to feel. Now, as revolts erupt, AI warlords descend, and the fabric of identity itself unravels, one clone will ignite the rebellion not just to survive… …but to remember who he was meant to be

"I lost my mother because of my devoted boyfriend of 6 years." She has been supporting her boyfriend Sung-joon, who is an aspiring actor and is just hanging around for 6 years. However, as time goes by, he changes from being kind and affectionate. Then, due to Sung-joon's complacency, Hae-young's mother gets into a serious accident. Hae-young goes to Sung-joon, who was flirting with his best friend Min-ji at the time, and confronts him. "Did I know your mother would do that? If you care so much, you should take care of your mother. Why is it my fault?" Instead of feeling sorry, Sung-joon breaks up with her. After the breakup, Sung-joon and Min-ji appear on the dating program as if they had been waiting for it. They become the center of attention on the show by talking about Hae-young, and eventually become very popular. Hae-young, who was frustrated after losing 6 years, her mother, and her love, accidentally goes back to the moment right before her mother got into an accident. "Mom, don't come! Stay still!" She takes this opportunity to save her mother and vows revenge on Sung-joon and Min-ji. Hae-young plans to secretly appear on the same program as them and get all the attention they both enjoyed. The problem is finding a male friend who fits the program's concept of "appearing with a friend." A very handsome and well-made male friend. At that time, the man she had coincidentally encountered on the day she prevented her mother's accident loomed over her. Yoon-hyuk unexpectedly accepted the ridiculous offer she made, thinking, "No way." "Isn't there anyone around you as handsome as me?" "No. Are you having trouble being objective? Looks like your's are rare." "Well, there might be. Maybe a friend you met when you were young, or someone who saved your life. Try to remember." Hae-young didn't realize it at the time. He was hinting that he had known Hae-young for a long time. The man who Hae-young had given all of her savings as a condition for his appearance was actually the fourth generation of a conglomerate. That's how Haeyoung and Yoonhyuk, Sungjun and Minji meet in "Friendship Romance" __________✧⁠⑅⁠˖⁠♡｡ﾟ∘⁠˚⁠˳⁠°↝⁠^⁠.⁠_⁠.⁠^___________________ My other works: "I became the Beast Duke's wife" on transcendentaltls .com (ongoing) ~ "Cat Kiss" on novelishuniversetransaltions .com (new)

Jihun Park has never needed words. The youngest heir to the Park empire carries his father’s intensity and his mother’s quiet resilience—but none of their hard-won ease with love. Where Jae spoke through actions and Mira through stubbornness, Jihun simply doesn’t speak at all. Until her. Lee Nari doesn’t have time for brooding heirs with pretty eyes and a strawberry milk addiction. A scholarship student at Seoul National’s elite business program, she’s too busy clawing her way out of her family’s debts to decode the silent boy who watches her like she’s the only person in the room. But when a class project forces them together, Nari discovers the truth: Jihun isn’t quiet because he’s arrogant. He’s quiet because he’s terrified—of the legacy he carries, of the words that won’t come, of becoming a ghost in his own story. And Nari? She’s never been afraid to speak her mind.

He was built to survive the end of the world. But no one taught him how to live afterward. Ten years ago, Leo Vance erased a city—and then vanished into silence. Now, he lives alone in a high-security containment shell, watched like a warhead that still might detonate. Officially, he's a living weapon. Unofficially, he’s a man unraveling at the seams. His powers are unstable. His memories are fractured. His emotions are… dangerous. But someone wants to fix that. Dr. Aris Thorne doesn’t see a weapon. She sees a person buried beneath layers of grief, guilt, and government programming. Through fragile therapy sessions and impossible questions, she dares Leo to look inward—at the trauma he’s sealed away. When a leaked video exposes him to the world again, Leo is forced to navigate a collapsing boundary between who he was made to be… and who he might become. Can you heal while being watched? Can you feel when you were never meant to? Can you trust someone enough to let them into the very core of your wound? Because if Leo loses control again—emotionally or otherwise—the next explosion won’t be contained to a crater.

DYSTOPIA 99 In a world rebuilding itself from the ashes of collapse, a mysterious tech-corporation known as Tenzashi invites a select group of teens to compete in Project Echelon—a simulation-based program promising salvation, purpose, and a future. But as the trials begin and the veil starts to tear, they uncover a system built not to protect the world… but to replace it. Through AI-bound suits known as AVUs, the recruits are forced to evolve—mentally, physically, and morally—as each simulation pulls them deeper into a game of control, surveillance, and war. Behind the silence of mirrored walls, something watches. Something waits. And not everyone chosen was meant to survive. Welcome to D99. Break the system—or be rewritten by it.

The year is 2025. A devout Christian named Arthur Bennett wins a lottery to participate in a revolutionary virtual reality experience at a high-tech company called Elysium. The program utilizes a unique VR pod to immerse users in a world based on a popular anime. As the other participants—a mix of personalities with varying degrees of anime knowledge—prepare to enter the simulation, Arthur remains the only one who has never indulged in anime. Upon entering this new world, he discovers an unsettling truth: pain is excruciatingly real, despite the creators' claims of a dampened pain response. He eventually finds himself trapped in prison, unable to log out, and demanding to be released from the program. Calls go unanswered, and the world of ninjas becomes a nightmare where hunger, thirst, hygiene, and even death are all real. Angered that he was deceived, he abandons all sense of logic and vows to become a villain no one would have ever anticipated.
