In a world decimated by monsters known as the Wretched, Kellan Veyra has spent ten years scraping by in the ruins of humanity. Alone and haunted by the deaths of his family, he has resigned himself to a hollow existence—until he stumbles upon a mysterious artifact in the ruins of a forgotten city. Promising him the chance to rewrite the past, the artifact transports him through time. But when Kellan wakes, he finds himself not in his adult body, but as an infant, back in a world untouched by the apocalypse. The only thing intact is his adult mind and memories, leaving him helpless in a crib, unable to speak or act. As he observes his family and the people he lost, Kellan realizes the future he came from is already unraveling. Strange presences stalk him, monsters seem to awaken years too early, and a voice warns him: the cycle cannot be broken. Faced with the impossible, Kellan must uncover the truth behind the artifact and its cryptic warnings. Is the apocalypse inevitable, or can he use his second chance to save the world and his loved ones? I upload at least 1 chapter daily, and I am also publishing this story to Royal road as well.

[The System has arrived on your habitable planet, known as ‘Earth.’] [In five seconds, monsters from countless realms will invade Earth.] [Remaining Time: 5 seconds.] [You can now view your attributes, talents, abilities, and skills by simply thinking about them.] [Kill monsters, and you might survive.] “Monsters?” Damian’s breathing quickened as the pain in his chest grew sharper. On the day of the Awakening, humanity was forced to defend against an invasion of countless monsters from the towers that connected realms across the multiverse. While billions of people died helplessly, billions more seized the opportunities hidden behind the horrors spilling out of the gates. Leveling up, growing stronger, awakening talents, learning supernatural skills, changing one's very race, and even achieving immortality all became possibilities. But for Damian, who was suffering from a sickness that would kill him within a few years, the Awakening was a curse. While other humans awakened powerful talents, hunted monsters, and evolved, Damian remained talentless, a liability and a burden the awakened had to carry. Damian never wanted to be seen as weak or useless, but what could he do? He was dying. If only he had awakened a talent or at least possessed a stronger body, he might have been able to level up and cure his sickness. But he couldn’t. All that would change when a mysterious figure set him on a path that would lead him to his true destiny. Witness the rise of a warrior who would make countless men tremble in fear. Witness the rise of a monster who would force every race, every being, and every existence to kneel. Witness the rise of the Champion.

Marie always thought her life was meant to be spent as an afterthought. As a girl whose parents favored her boyfriend, whose final sacrifice to save him led to her downfall, and whose life ended in a painful haze of regret, she'd convinced herself that her existence amounted to nothing. Even her own death was a decision she made—not out of courage, but despair. But death, it seems, wasn’t the end. When Marie awakes, she’s no longer the broken girl on a hospital bed but Elisha, the young daughter of a fallen dukedom in a world unlike her own.

"I'm telling you, it's aliens" Spoke his female friend as she gestured like she was in fact an alien. "I highly doubt it's that" he scoffed. As she frowned. "You always do that-" [error] "Do what?"

Another great war awaits, but will she be able to avert it? Second iteration of the Knight's Fate saga chronologically speaking. Yes I'm starting from the second because the first was an utter failure when I tried to write it, it just didn't fit the mood of a fantasy novel unlike this one. Though don't worry this doesn't mean you can't enjoy this one before I write the first. This is the first story I've actually published so I appreciate any feedback, be it good or bad just let me know what you think.

No one ever thought that the population of people known as "ESPER" could increase. Unfortunately, some metaphysical activities resulting from a work accident have also become a global problem. For years, the United Nations had to lie to the world that the current conditions were fine. Those who were invisible moved in tandem with the development of human technology. Living a normal life is indeed a demand, no matter if someone is an esper. But is it possible? Especially this story begins with an individualistic guy. A regular student who is just an ordinary youth. What is love? What is the past? How do we live? Why are we afraid of death? Where is our position in this wheel of life? How worthy are we to be called...human? "The Endless Hollow"

I know where I want this story to go and I’ve kinda sorta mapped a path to get there. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for reading and feedback is greatly appreciated.

"In a world divided into five continental countries, with the middle continent serving as a volatile buffer zone, tyranny reigns supreme in the southern continents, each governed by a ruthless monarch. The most dominant force in this oppressive empire is the Church of the Sun, where the Pope holds the highest authority, serving as both religious leader and king. The Church's power is further bolstered by the 12 Paladins and 24 Reverend Fathers, backed by an army of clergy soldiers. The catalyst for this tale is the infamous 'Day of Unity,' an event that transpired roughly 50-55 years ago. On this day, nations from across the continents gathered for diplomatic relations, only to face a treacherous assault by the Pope and his ruthless army. In a shocking turn of events, the Pope's forces attacked all attending nations, seizing their lands, and compelling the surviving members of royal families and their people to pledge loyalty to the oppressive empire. Yet, the kingdom of Valkenburg, renowned for its advanced military and impenetrable defenses, remained untouched, as their wise king sent only an emissary to the event. In this world, the mystical power of 'wave energy' flows through the veins of every individual, with each person born possessing a unique affinity. With rigorous training, they can harness multiple affinities. But there's more to this universe than meets the eye. Rift Gates scattered throughout Earth lead to other realms. These gates are largely controlled by the imperial army, except for those hidden in free territories or the untamed eastern regions. The alternate realms include 'The Realm of Disorder,' 'The Shadowlands,' 'The Land of the Fel' (comprising seven colossal circles, each the size of a solar system), 'Wonderland' (a heavenly realm with light-type beings and five expansive circles, symbolized as 'the five circles of the rainbow'), and 'Verdana.' At the pinnacle of this intricate universe stands the Titanomachy, god-like beings who rule over these realms and influence magic on the mortal plane. They are the architects of this fantastical world, each possessing unrivaled power and purpose. Amidst this intricate tapestry of realms, magic, and political intrigue, 'The Knight of Roses' embarks on a journey filled with danger, discovery, and destiny. The Main Character, Arryn of Asa, a battle-worn mercenary with a shadowy past, will navigate the tumultuous landscapes, confront the horrors lurking in the cursed forests, and delve into the mysteries of the dark lord and his connection to the shadowy figure. As the story unfolds, the MC will find themselves at the center of a brewing conflict, where loyalties will be tested, alliances forged, and the fate of nations hanging in the balance." written by yodyo10/pendragondyo

Do you believe in magic? The answer of most will be no. But what if magic DID exsist? To some, it might just be your typical average story.

"How is that even possible?" She asked, mouth agape. He smiled at her, showing a perfect set of snow-white teeth. "With magic, anything is possible." Horn your skills and train your ability. "I will protect you." She said, with a determined gaze. "You can Barely even protect yourself. You are not strong enough." He retorted. "Then, just wait for Me to get stronger." She said, with a smile. "You have no right to be here. We cut ties remember?" He said, glaring at her fiercely. "I am not here for you. I am here for the family. I still have people I treasure here. So let me through or else..." She completed her statement by majestically drawing out her sword. So many secrets lay hidden. Injustice in the form of justice. Lies, fabricated to become truth. Deception roams around, unleashed. And a Naive girl, who had never seen the shadow that lurked around in the abyss. Will she Survive? Will she fail? It is up to you to find out.
