Ash Magikarp Evolves

"Dead men don’t stay dead... unless they’re forgotten." Once, Dominic "Dom" Ricci was the untouchable kingpin of the underworld—a man whose empire stretched across neon-lit streets and shadowy alleys. But betrayal cuts deeper than bullets, and when Dom's trusted right-hand man, Vincent "Vinnie" Costa, orchestrates his downfall, everything he built comes crashing down in a storm of blood and fire. Now, presumed dead by the city he once ruled, Dom emerges from the shadows—not as a victim, but as a predator. With nothing left to lose, he begins to rebuild his empire, one dangerous move at a time. Recruiting allies old and new, navigating shifting loyalties, and unraveling a web of deceit that runs deeper than anyone imagined, Dom wages war against the man who stole his throne—and the corrupt system that let it happen. In this game of power, every step forward could be his last. As alliances fracture, secrets unravel, and enemies close in, Dom must decide what kind of ruler he wants to be: ruthless or redeemed. Because in a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal is inevitable, even kings can fall. And sometimes, rising again means burning brighter—or burning everything to ashes. Betrayal sparks the flame. Power fuels the fire. In the Empire of Ashes, survival is the only rule.

After an unexpected death, a man finds himself reborn in a world completely unlike his own. Trapped in the body of an infant, he must navigate a new life in a medieval society where magic is real. Unable to act, he observes—learning the language, the customs, and most importantly, the existence of magic within himself. As he slowly uncovers the rules of this unfamiliar world, one thing becomes clear: if magic is real, he has to understand it.

〔Congratulations, for mating with a Queen Bee you got a new achievement: ”Not a virgin”! Your reward: “Drone Consort” title.〕 ‘Hey! I wasn’t a virgin even before this, system!’ Imagine that you lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving you a second chance in another world. There, you became a consort of a beautiful, big-chested queen, and your only job is to have mind-blowing sex with her so she could have thousands of your adorable daughters. In return, you can live in peace and luxury for the rest of your days. Which means, for about two months! Because I’m a bee. And my queen is *also* a bee! And bees don’t live for long. The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony—a hard task in this huge and dangerous world. There are giant hungry beasts at every turn, other insect tribes—each more murderous than the other—and natural disasters to top it all off. But I have a hundred thousand adorable daughters, some actual brains, and with superior genes given to me by my system, we will be unstoppable! === Note: no NTR, harem, incest, or outright smut.

The reclusive Peak Master Fu Ran held onto a simple wish, a fleeting hope that the man of ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶d̶r̶e̶a̶m̶s̶ his nightmares, would have stayed in his dreams! Since a young age, Fu Ran had been plagued by prophetic visions of his own demise at the hands of a tyrant emperor, but he had managed to keep some semblance of self with a simple fact: dreams couldn't kill you. But what happens when conjured fears become real? When they exist outside sleep? Fu Ran must struggle with learning to deal with an unwanted presence in his day-to-day life as he discovers that there's far more to this tyrant emperor than he first thought.

In a world where the dead cling to the living through malevolent spirits called *Shades*, 19-year-old **Jin Soel** harbors a cursed gift: he can resurrect the dead, but each act of defiance against death exacts a gruesome toll. A degenerative curse known as **the Rot** consumes his body, crumbling it piece by piece. Torn between desperation and guilt, Jin uses his power to dig up graves, seeking answers about his mother’s mysterious death years ago—and the monstrous Shade she became when he first unknowingly resurrected her. When Jin revives **Min-ah**, a murdered classmate, her soul erupts as a ferocious Shade, forcing him to destroy her corpse again to survive. Bloodied and crumbling, Jin is confronted by **Yuri**, a cryptic woman with one ghostly eye and a vial of temporary salvation. She drags him into the **Hollow Market**—a macabre underworld where the damned trade secrets, memories, and flesh. There, Jin learns Min-ah’s death was no random tragedy but part of a sinister *harvest* to breed powerful Shades. As Jin navigates this shadowy realm with Yuri—whose motives blur the line between ally and manipulator—he uncovers threads linking Min-ah’s murder to his mother’s past. But every resurrection Jin performs to unravel the truth accelerates the Rot, edging him closer to becoming one of the very monsters he hunts. With Shades growing stronger and his body failing, Jin must decide how much of himself he’s willing to lose to protect the living… and outrun the ghost of the mother he doomed to eternal torment. **Dark, visceral, and morally tangled**, *Bleeding Shadows* weaves a tale of cursed power, haunted legacies, and the price of clinging to those already gone. Perfect for fans of *Chainsaw Man*’s existential grit and *The Girl from the Other Side*’s eerie melancholy.

Nate never expected to wake up in a world he once played. Years ago, his colleague Aria invited him to try a strategy game where players built and expanded their kingdoms. He played, enjoyed it, and eventually moved on. But when he sees a news article about the game’s explosion in popularity, he barely gives it a second thought. He wakes up the following day in an unfamiliar room—with Aria beside him. The village outside is barely surviving. Resources are scarce, the people are wary, and the system offers only one rule: Grow or be erased. With nothing but their knowledge of the game and their wits, they must build from nothing—expanding their land, recruiting key figures, and navigating a world where NPCs now think for themselves. But they are not alone. Others like them have been thrown into this world, scattered across vast lands, each holding the same goal—conquest. Nations will rise, betrayals will unfold, and every decision is a gamble between power and survival. This is not a game anymore. This is war.

“I don't like judging people, but sometimes I can't help it. I don't like talking behind people's backs, but sometimes I do. I just want to live a good life, but sometimes I can't.” Love, Betrayal, Blood, but not Hatred. Only cold revenge, and a son to complete the family. "D" Section, a nonexistent military unit. "D" for dark, "D" for depth, "D"... for death. It demanded no attachment, and Daemon sacrificed love for it. Years later, the death of his teammates made him feel that he had done enough for the country, so he came back to the city he grew in. But can what has been forsaken be gained back? Because now Evelyn, the one to have breathed vitality in his numb, orphaned heart, had her own life, and a little boy calling her mother.

Discord: https://discord.gg/XuCwbVEh Nevalis, a nobleman from the Kingdom of Phillirion, thought of nobles as the ones he read about in books. A noble title did not mean money or power, but rather had deeper, higher values symbolizing responsibility and honor, for those who lived with the saying "with power comes responsibility ".  But when Nevalis went out into the world, he did not find it as he had imagined. Reality hit him in the face. Those bastards aren't nobles! Who do they think they are? They tarnished the noble title! They don't deserve that title anymore!" "I will be a true nobleman, a nobleman of all the nobles who have passed this world!" Nevalis seeks to truly redefine nobility, to fulfill his dream of becoming a true nobleman, more noble than all those who held the title before him. The plot revolves around his personal journey, which brings a combination of suffering, sacrifices, and ascent towards his goal, in the face of a cruel world full of illusions and deviations. The novel combines the profound lessons of honor and responsibility, and the challenges faced by humans in their quest for perfection.

Across the vast convolution of worlds, divine beings rule as absolute sovereigns—each god assigned dominion over a singular realm. Skirmishes are inevitable, whether for power, amusement, or sheer pettiness. One such battle, between Nexus, the God of Trickery, and an aging, senile deity, resulted in an anomaly… A soul misplaced. Elliot, an ordinary man, was never meant for Ul’Tra-el. But fate, or perhaps a cosmic prank, had other plans. Unlike other worlds, Ul’Tra-el is an aberration—one that developed a voice. A voice that diverged from the natural order. A voice that changed everything. Its foundation cracked, leaking dimensions into one another. Rifts tore open like festering wounds, vomiting forth unspeakable horrors—monsters not meant to exist. But the world did not sit idly by. In response—perhaps an act of self-preservation—the world gifted its inhabitants power. Talents awakened, granting people extraordinary abilities. And for every rift sealed, the Voice of Ul rewarded them generously. Survival was simple: fight, grow stronger, and close the rifts… or die trying. In this ruthless, blood-soaked reality, Northern—a white-haired boy burdened by his past life—was reincarnated. But unlike the chosen heroes, he awakened as a talentless nobody. No power. No strength. No future. And when death loomed over him—when despair clawed at his soul and the cold grip of the failure threatened to take him— A Voice responded: [System Notice] [Your Soul cannot take a form.] [Searching for a Unique Pattern Ability…] [Searching…] [Search Found.] [A Unique System Ability has been detected.] [You Can Copy And Evolve Talents] ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.

"A world where magic and demonic forces have been locked in an ancient struggle... A boy who only seeks companionship, yet fate has written a different path for him." Ru Kiro’s life takes a sudden turn when he leaves school behind. Was it his own choice, or was there something more at play? In a place where hidden battles between magic and darkness rage on, the truth is never as it seems. Is the world witnessing reality, or just a fragment of a much larger game? "When devils, magic, and humanity collide—who will emerge victorious?"

The Super-Dimensional Game has descended upon Blue Star. Everyone can enter the game and obtain a World Fragment, becoming a deity and leading their tribe to conquer all directions, even conquering the alternate world. Fortunately, Logan, who transmigrated here, has a Drop System. Whether it's him or his subordinates, they can all receive drops after victory. [Log: Your believers have defeated the wolf pack.

~ Rowena "My ancestors stood shoulder to shoulder with the founders of Glenmorvane, centuries ago. Yet, in a cruel twist of fate, my family and I have been reduced to nothing more than hunted prey, subjected to unimaginable torture and brutality. My kind has been all but exterminated, and my sister was burned alive at the stake. Consumed by a burning desire for vengeance, I now live for one purpose alone: to unleash my wrath upon the world that wronged me, one devastating spell at a time." ~ Emris "We're the blighters responsible for the utter misery and suffering that's ravaging the globe, old chap. I've got everything one could possibly desire - wealth, power, the whole shebang. And yet, my dear, all I seem to be hankering after is... you. I daresay you must be wondering why on earth I've chosen to spare your life. Why I haven't, shall we say, indulged in your... particular brand of sustenance. Well, my dear, it's quite simple really. There's something dashedly special about you, and soon you’ll find out." ~ Irene "I'm so... done. I should've ended it all when I had the chance. But no, I hesitated. And now... now I'm paying the price. We've always been prey to them, and I'm no exception. I'm just a fragile, foolish, complicated thing... and I'm so tired of fighting. Tired of running. Tired of being hunted. I can’t wait for him to kill me and task my body with the rest… I’m exhausted

A choice was given—one power, one path. Shadow or Flame. In that fleeting moment, he made his decision, never questioning what became of the path left untaken. He walks the world now, bound to the power he chose, facing trials that test the very fabric of his soul. Yet, a lingering dread follows him, an unshakable omen of something—someone—waiting at the end of his journey. When that moment comes, the truth is not what he imagined. The battle he feared is unlike any other, defying the very nature of fate itself. Because some choices are never truly left behind. Some echoes refuse to fade. And in the end, the greatest enemy he will ever face… is one he should have never met.

~WSA 2025 ENTRY~ .................................. Died on the battlefield at the age of 25, Reece Vaughn got a second chance in his life — reborn as a 16-year-old three centuries into the future. The world has gone through an inexplicable change by then. The Great Awakening happened, and it left widespread consequences — the emergence of supernatural creatures and the sudden grant of extraordinary powers to some humans. With the sudden gain of extraordinary powers, the human population went astray — some sought resorts, while some started manipulating their powers to satisfy their own greed. As a result, in just a few years, the world teetered on the brink of collapse. Amidst all the chaos and turmoil, the Keeper System arose; to restore the fragile order of balance, nurture the Keepers (or peacekeepers) - a group of awakened humans, and bind the world in a close knit. Thus began the journey of the Keeper System, shrouded in mystery; visibly invisible. Reborn in a world completely different from his own, Reece was astonished! And before he could comprehend anything, he died! Again, for the second time. But, did his journey end even before he started? - Well, NO. He was given another chance to have a fresh start, forgetting everything about his past life; now chosen as a future Keeper. In this life, born in a world where fantasy and humanity coexisted, Reece had to deal with all the hardships, confront everything that came his way, and ascend through the ranks to achieve the coveted SSS rank and become a legendary Keeper. Reece's journey started now. Was it all about only achieving the SSS rank? -No. As he navigated his new life, truths came before him, which shook his foundation! The truth about him, his existence, the organization, the new world, the architect hiding behind a mask whose one wave of hand could change everything! His journey threw him into a complex maze he could never have imagined. ________________ Make sure to read the auxiliary chapter before you start the novel. :)

Seven Months Ago "I’m tired of this woman!" Edward’s voice thundered through the hall. "I love someone else. I don’t want to be with her anymore!" "Why?" Ruby’s voice trembled, barely above a whisper. "Why are you saying this?" She clutched his hand, desperation flickering in her eyes. "It was a mistake, not a marriage." On her 21st birthday, divorce papers were tossed in her face by the man she once loved—her childhood sweetheart, her husband. --- Seven Months Later "You’re quite arrogant." Ruby frowned at the man before her. Alaric Hawthorne smirked, hands in his pockets. "Sometimes, arrogance in love is necessary." She, the resolute village chief. He, the unyielding county executive. What would their clash ignite? --- The Wedding Day "Ruby, please! I’m sorry. Don’t leave me!" Edward knelt, desperation etched across his face. Ruby, standing in a wedding dress, met his gaze—cold and unmoved. "Sorry, Mr. Edward," Alaric Hawthorne stepped beside her, a knowing smile on his lips. "You see, my bride and I have somewhere to be."

She had poured every ounce of herself into it, only to be left standing in the ruins of her own devotion. Love had drained her, left her hollow, and taught her that vulnerability was a luxury she could no longer afford. So, she made a choice—a bold one. Love was no longer part of her story. Brenda let go of the romantic fairy tales and turned the page to a new chapter. One where she wasn’t pining or hoping. She was single, powerful, and utterly unshaken in the freedom of being beholden to no one. She wasn’t looking for love anymore because she had found something even better: herself. And in this new life, she didn’t just live—she thrived. * * * * * Until….Spencer came in... Ready to give her another taste of love. Could she allow herself to feel again? To trust again?
