Phantom Lord

The life of a teenage scientist would change forever on the completion of his latest invention.

In Ryuki City—a place where elemental magic defines power and status—Auren Ryuki was born into a family of prodigies. His elder and younger brothers wield fire and wind like extensions of their soul. But Auren? He awakened… nothing. Rejected by the mage academy, ignored by his powerful father, and forgotten in the shadows of greatness, Auren became little more than a servant in his own home—cooking meals, cleaning blades, and pretending his heart wasn’t breaking. But everything changed the day the rival Yuzen Clan struck. His eldest brother, the pride of Ryuki, was killed. And instead of mourning together, Auren was blamed—punched, cast out, and disowned. With nothing left to lose, Auren fled into the forbidden mountains where fate awaited him in the form of an ancient stranger. Offered a path of power that defied the laws of the elemental world, Auren accepted. He trained, bled, and awakened a new kind of magic—one born not of fire or wind, but of raw soul: purple flame, the magic of the forsaken. Now cloaked in mystery and wielding terrifying power, Auren returns to the city as the Ash Phantom—a masked vigilante striking down corruption, clan by clan. But even as the world fears him, none suspect the truth: the boy they abandoned is back... and he’s not done burning.

The world is nothing but a giant chessboard—a game where only the cleverest pull the strings and walk away victorious. The court, its schemes, its endless facades… I quickly grew tired of it all. Too predictable. Too draining. So I chose a different game to play: the North. They say it’s a harsh land, wild and unforgiving, filled with scornful barbarians and savage beasts. Perfect. A playground worthy of me, a challenge that suits my talents. Banished by my own father, condemned by a council far too confident, here I stand—free. Free to weave my web, to sow chaos however I please. North, entertain me! And to the rest of you—be patient. When I’m done with my little vacation, I’ll be back.

Billions of light years away, on a planet where magic flows through every creature, two dominant species battle for supremacy, 'Humans and Ants'. In this world, Ants aren’t just insects, they are the most intelligent and powerful race who challenged humans, wielding magic and evolving in ways no one can predict. Reborn as an ant in this brutal, predator-filled realm, Kai refuses to accept a life of insignificance. With a sarcastic system, ultimate skills, bizarre evolution choices, and a talent for chaos, he sets out to defy fate. From dodging death against Dragon Men, Ape Men, Wolf Men and Termite Kings, etc to building his own army, Kai’s journey is one of relentless growth, cunning strategy, and outrageous battles. Survive! Evolve! Conquer! The world isn’t ready for the rise of the most overpowered ant in history. --- Join Discord for character images- https://discord.gg/dyDgAt2EaW [ -WAS 2025 CONTEST- ] ---- Show some support by:- 100 comments= 1 extra chapter. 300 power stone= 1 extra chapter 50 Golden tickets= 1 extra chapter. 1 Castle= 5 extra chapter. 1 Spaceship= Personalized Chapter (Suggest a setting, item, or conflict you would love to see.) 1 Golden Gachapon= Create a Custom Side Story (2-3 Chapter mini arc featuring your favorite character and concept.)

Inola was just your typical beast kin orphan—ears too sharp, stomach too empty, and dreams far too big for the crumbling orphanage she called home. The place was run by a greasy baron with a combover and a crooked smile, who made sure the kids knew the value of silence, obedience, and cheap labor. But today—today was her thirteenth birthday. And somehow, today also happened to be the day she found herself standing in a line stretching halfway across the capital, clutching a ticket made of black silk and gilded gold leaf. Her fingers trembled just holding it. Everyone else in line stared like she’d grown wings and started breathing fire. She still didn’t know how this happened. All she did was help a sweet old lady cross the road yesterday. The carts had been fast, the rain had been pouring, and she’d nearly slipped twice. But the old lady had smiled, warm as cinnamon bread, and handed her the strange ticket without another word before disappearing into the alleyways. It wasn’t until this morning that Inola learned who that old woman was. The former Queen of Vaerindale. Disguised and wandering the city for her own mysterious reasons. And that ticket? A personal invitation—one of only thirteen—to enter the newly discovered Mythic Dungeon before anyone else. A dungeon no one had survived exploring. A dungeon rumored to contain Essence Stones—ancient artifacts of unimaginable power, used to forge custom classes with limitless potential. And Inola, ragged boots and patched coat and all, was going in as a scout. Well… whatever. Life hadn’t exactly offered her many handouts before, so this? This was a miracle. And she wasn’t about to waste it. Her claws flexed. Her tail twitched with anticipation. “I’m going to make a better life for myself. Even if I have to claw it out of the dungeon with my bare hands.” Read as this fox kin becomes the most powerful illusion-type classer as she masters how to bend reality with her Phantom Weaver of the Veiled Eclipse class.

Ren Shiken, a spirited and energetic teen, wakes up to a life-changing day—his departure to the mysterious Phantom Guild.

As he bids an emotional farewell to his mother and grandmother, his journey toward strength, honor, and destiny begins. With hope in his eyes and determination in his heart, Ren takes flight—unaware of the trials waiting ahead.

read the first 10 chapter, and you will like it!!! In a world where every 18-year-old is granted a noble title and a domain, Reed was never meant to rule. Born in the slums, he survived by stealing, killing, and doing whatever it took to stay alive. The world despised him, and he despised it back. But when the Day of Lords arrived, fate played its cruelest trick yet. Goblin Lord. The weakest possible domain. The most pathetic summons. A rank that was practically a death sentence. But Reed doesn’t care. He never played by the rules before, and he won’t start now. Given absolute authority over his first Hero—a deadly and completely loyal goblin woman named Shia—he embraces his title with ruthless efficiency. There are no rules he won’t break, no enemies he won’t kill, and no limits to how far he’ll rise. If the world thinks it can laugh at him, it’s in for a nightmare. Because the Lord of the Forsaken doesn’t bow to fate. He breaks it.

Weewooweewoo! As the latest agent recruited by the Bureau of Paranormal Activity, Catheris Orial–suffice to say–is NOT having a swell time being dragged around. His mentor is kind of a deadbeat; he has to wake up way too early; it's obviously not fun getting jumped on the job; and oh… oh that damned partner of his…! Catheris never asked for any of this–in fact he didn't want the job in the first place; he was already a tailor. Rather, he was forced into this by an unexpected roommate. He knew that moving to a new place would bring along some uncertainties and surprises, but having a demon was NOT what he had in mind. It’d never show itself and would fuck up his kitchen for whatever petty reason. He didn't care about that, why would he? He found it a tad bit amusing–until its behavior had a drastic change. He found himself having episodes: clawing at his neck, unable to breathe. Suddenly, he’d wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, chest tight before he’d notice the wetness on his cheeks–crying searing hot ink again. The most jarring thing was how it’d appear in his liminal dreams. He wasn't the paranoid type, but he wasn't stupid–it was all real. That’s when he unfortunately met Detective Mr. Beo, who offered him a deal–either suffer, or let the government study him. Unfortunately, said detective is also his partner. But… the other coworkers aren't so bad. In conclusion the man is fucked, literally and metaphorically.
