I am an Eldritch Entity

‘I am an Eldritch entity?’ Eryndor found himself questioning his existence after an accident which tested the limits of human endurance. His sealed consciousness burst open, expanding and covering the entirety of the Earth before receding abruptly. Subconscious use of Telekinesis controlled the stones to protect him as the overload of mind reading the entire population of Earth burdened his mind. Eldritch entities were one of the few Anomalies which had characteristics such as immense consciousness, Mind Reading, and Telekinesis. They were categorized as the strongest beings of the Main Universe. This world had Anomalies all along, with secret organizations placed everywhere to combat them. Was he one of the Anomalies sealed by them in the past? ***** When the cosmic limit rose from 0 to 1 – Qi, Mana, Spiritual Energy, and Internal Energy surged into the universe, marking the Era of Superpowers and the emergence of Anomalies. Simultaneously, 8 Outer Domains—Cultivation, Magic, Mentalist, Martial Arts, Cyborg, Beast Taming, Demon, and Buddhist Worlds—formed portals to the universe. In response, humanity united under the Human Federation to combat Anomalies and repel the Outer Domain forces. ****** Watch as Eryndor uses both the power of Chaos - Eldritch Entities and Order - 8 different power systems of all the Eight Outer Domains, to rise through the numerous Realms and become the strongest Entity. ***** My inspiration for this work comes from the SCP universe, in which I added a bit of my creativity to make the power system and world building logical and consistent. The Synopsis, and First chapter go hand in hand. I urge you to read at least the first chapter before deciding. By the way, readers seemed to have a wrong idea of this novel and drop it. If you're looking for mindless power levelling or some power trip, this is not it. This is more plot focused like lotm (no I am not comparing myself to lotm, just giving you an idea). There are not endless hordes of braindead villains every chapter which the MC will kill and so on. You get my point. Happy reading! Updating schedule alternating between 2 chapters per day/14 per week and 3 per day/21 per week. Will fix on 3 per day/21 per week if I get plenty of readers. Maybe more if I hit exceptional rankings or great milestones.

Card Apprentice Daily Log

Dalton Wyatt, a world-renowned scientist and inventor, is transmigrated into the body of a high school student, also named Dalton Wyatt, who had tragically committed suicide due to unfortunate circumstances and a complicated life. The enchanting world of cards he finds himself in is vastly different from Earth, yet eerily similar in certain aspects. Unlike the peaceful Earth, where humans fought only amongst themselves, this new world is plagued by dungeons and monsters. Here, humanity's survival hinges on battling these mythical and legendary creatures. Ordinary mortals lack the strength to stand against such formidable foes. Thankfully, a select few are blessed with the ability to harness their souls, manifest soul power, and become card apprentices—humanity’s last hope against extinction. Card apprentices are individuals who form contracts with grimoires, mystical artifacts that allow them to wield powerful and versatile cards to fend off monsters and conquer dungeons. A grimoire provides card apprentices with abilities such as card creation and card fusion. Most importantly, it enables them to unlock their full potential in card battles. While this world shares the concept of science with Earth, its focus is not on electronics or industrialization. Instead, cards replace the need for most technologies, fulfilling even the smallest of daily necessities. This world revolves entirely around the grimoire’s abilities, particularly card creation and card fusion. Transmigrated to a place where strength can be bought with money, Dr. Wyatt is forced to earn a living to ensure his survival. Fortunately, with his otherworldly knowledge and expertise, card creation comes naturally to him, setting him apart from other card apprentices. Dr. Wyatt crafts and sells perfect, powerful, and resourceful cards, steadily growing stronger in this monster-ridden world. --- "What did you say? Making good cards is hard? Bah! Card creation is a breeze." "My friend, let me enlighten you—there are no 'trash card ingredients,' only incompetent card creationists."

Heir of the Lost Wish

Once upon a time, before time itself took shape, there was an infinite Void, a total and absolute nothingness. The Void, though devoid of any movement, was not without desire. In a burst of creation, a secret yearning, it concentrated its essence into a single point. And from this point sprang the Well of Wishes, an endless abyss where pure possibility rested, a place where the potential of what was and what could be intersected. In the beginning, the Void had neither form nor consciousness. It was but a silent space, an abyss of inertia where the breath of nothingness whispered but one thing: a primordial wish. This wish, born from the depths of the Void, was both a hope and a mistake, a prayer cast into the darkness, asking for the birth of balance. But this wish, though silent, could not escape its destiny: to become the Well of Wishes, capable of giving life. From this well sprang two opposing entities: The Being of Light, the perfect figure of order and purity, seeking to create, to structure, to bring peace and clarity. The Being of Shadow, the chaotic reflection of nothingness, whose will turned toward destruction, toward instinct, toward the invisible that escaped forms and laws. These two beings, opposites yet intrinsically linked, gave birth to creatures, divided according to their natures. The Being of Light brought forth pure beings, enlightened souls, luminous creatures who would follow order. A page was turned, with a soft rustling of paper. "*The humans?*" murmured a curious voice. While the Being of Shadow gave birth to the monsters of darkness, wild and devastating beings, embodying instinct and chaos. *Should we not call them beings of shadow instead?* it murmured, thoughtful. But within them, a tragedy slumbered. Every light hid a shadow, every order a grain of destruction. The Well of Wishes had given birth to opposing beings, but through this duality, a question arose: could balance truly last? Thus unfolded the beginning of everything. A dream, a prayer, a wish lost in the silence of the Void. A forgotten wish. A broken balance. Written by: Elion Kline A sigh escaped, and the book closed, revealing its title: The First Wish In a small, dilapidated library, where dust seemed to have been an eternity, a young boy with fine, delicate features stood up. His eyes, as deep and dark as ink, sparkled with a curious light, while his silver hair, slightly tousled, caught the faint rays of the sun filtering through the dusty windows. He took the book in hand, his gesture slow and respectful.

Luden

Long before history recorded its first kings, before empires rose and fell, there was Luden—a figure of wisdom and mystery, a being neither mortal nor god, who walked the earth not to rule, but to enlighten. His teachings shaped civilizations, whispered through the leaves of the Arbor Divus, yet the world has all but forgotten his name. Among those who sought him, one man stood apart—Larz, a restless wanderer burdened by questions he could never answer. In him, Luden saw a mind unchained by convention, a soul tested by suffering, and a heart capable of bearing the weight of knowledge. Thus, Larz became Luden’s first disciple, though his journey was far from simple. As Luden gathered his thirty disciples, each one scarred by life’s hardships, he revealed the world’s greatest secret: a Gate to the Overworld, hidden beyond the seven seas, buried deep within the forgotten mountains. It was not merely a passage, but a force beyond comprehension—a door to creation and destruction, meant to remain sealed lest it unravel the fragile balance of existence. But balance is never eternal. Forces beyond Luden’s reach conspired in the shadows, seeking to unearth what should remain hidden. And as the world turned, the burden of guarding the gate fell upon Larz. Would he uphold the path his master had set, or would the whispers of the Overworld tempt him into the unknown? A story of wisdom, sacrifice, and the weight of knowledge, this tale explores the thin line between enlightenment and madness, destiny and free will, and the eternal question— Should all truths be revealed?

The Duke's youngest son is Unbearable

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely…" Man, these words are simple yet very true. The one who said these words must have really been… "corrupted," hehe. Does power corrupt? Maybe. But why? Is it power's very nature to corrupt? If that's true, does that mean everyone who has power is… corrupted? And if they are, then how much? Partially, slightly, or fully? Who, then, is the most corrupt? Is it the police, who have the power of law over the people who break it? Or is it the military, with the power of weapons? Or is it the politicians, controlling the police, the military, and the infamous red buttons? Or perhaps it's the people who fund those politicians—those who control everything from the shadows. To know who is the most corrupt, we need to figure out who is the most powerful. If I asked a random person, "Who's the most powerful being?" they'd probably answer with one word: God. Well, it makes sense. I mean, God Himself says in His holy scriptures that He is the source of all power. The most powerful being there was, is, and will ever be. If He is the source of all power... And if power's very nature is to corrupt... Then does that mean "God," the source of all power, is also the source of all corruption?! I rubbed the back of my neck, my lips twitching into a nervous smile. Probably not, but then again… Angels, the second most powerful beings, worship God and cannot disobey Him. At least in Islam, they can't. Christianity? Well, that's a whole different ballgame. So I don't know—maybe. But what about the people who believe in God? There are plenty of radicals out there. I mean, I've seen enough news stories about people blowing themselves up in the name of God. Killing others in His name. Some even believe they're chosen by God, so they kill for Him. Are they believers in God? Corrupted by the Devil? Or enlightened beings who see something my dumb self doesn't? I squinted, tapping my fingers rhythmically against my thigh. Man, I don't know about Hell, but after all these blasphemous thoughts, I don't think God's letting me into Heaven either. Now, everyone's probably wondering, Why are you talking about these blasphemous things? Well, it's my grandma's fault. "What did she do?" Nothing! It's not what she did—it's what she said. When I was little, my grandma used to say, "If you have nothing to do, think about God." So, technically, it's her fault. Title: The Duke's Youngest Son Is Unbearable Asher, the youngest son of an esteemed archduke, is infamous for his arrogance, sharp tongue, and reckless demeanor.

His revival raises more questions than answers—why was he brought back, and what does this awakening truly mean? Asher’s newfound abilities catapult him into a world of intrigue, where nobles play dangerous games, ancient secrets resurface, and shadowy powers stir in the background.
