Fine then, I guess I’ll be a villain in another world. Justin was nothing more than a struggling office worker—until his jealous rival shoved him in front of a speeding train. But fate had other plans. Reincarnated into a world of magic and awakened beings, Justin finds himself in the body of a bastard son of the prestigious Sword Clan. Yet, some things never change—he is still an outcast, still powerless. That is, until he discovers his Unique Skill: Great Sage—his Dragon Devouring System. {Anything you can imagine, Master, I can create.} While other young masters were busy playing with swords, Justin carves his own path—one of monsters, battle, and unrelenting hunger for power. He devours creatures, steals their abilities, and rises from the gutters of insignificance to become an existence the world cannot ignore. Enemies lurk in the shadows, waiting to strike. Assassins whisper his name with dread. And when one dares to test him, he makes his philosophy clear: "If you’re sent to assassinate me, you’re well prepared to be assassinated yourself right?. Because if you kill… you shall be killed." Justin’s journey is one of ruthless survival, overwhelming power, and a destiny that will shake the very foundations of this world. Ready to witness the rise of an unstoppable force? Then step into “My Dragon Devouring System.“

Magi of Sinlung Larin was just another apprentice magi, content with the quiet pursuit of knowledge—until war shattered his world. The Kirat Empire, an iron-fisted colossus, has long trampled Xiaxo under its boot, but their rule has fractured. As rebellion brews and ancient forces stir, Larin finds himself at the heart of a conflict far greater than he ever imagined. The magic of Sinlung, the breath of the land itself, is awakening. Beings older than recorded history—Primordial entities, Guardian Beasts, and cosmic civilizations lurking beyond the stars—have begun to make their moves. Some see humanity as pawns, others as tools, and a few as something more. But the wars of gods and conquerors will not wait for one young magi to catch up. Resistance is inevitable. Betrayal is certain. Survival is not. Larin must wield every scrap of knowledge, power, and cunning to carve a path forward. From the battlefields of Xiaxo to the depths of forgotten ruins, from the councils of war to the whispers of cosmic magi, he will face blood, sacrifice, and impossible truths. The world is shifting, and with it, the nature of magic itself. Will he remain a mere student of the arcane, or will he forge himself into something greater? What to Expect: In-depth and immersive worldbuilding – Traditions, cultures, and histories woven into a living world. Grand-scale civilizations – Empires, resistance forces, and cosmic hierarchies, each with their own agendas. A clash of ideologies – What does it mean to rule? To resist? To be free? Philosophical and moral complexity – No easy answers, only difficult choices. Slow-burn grimdark progression – A mix of slice-of-life, political intrigue, and brutal reality. A layered magic system – Sinlung Arts, ancient philosophies, and the unraveling secrets of existence. GameLit elements – Structured progression, world mechanics, and a system beyond mere stats.

In a world where choices shape destinies, a man embarks on a relentless quest for self-mastery. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, performance, and freedom, he navigates the intricate balance between discipline and desire. His journey spans intellectual pursuits, physical excellence, and the search for deeper meaning—constantly oscillating between solitude and the longing for connection. As he sharpens his mind through philosophy, languages, and scientific inquiry, his body follows suit, sculpted by the rigorous demands of athleticism. Yet, beneath his structured routine lies a battle against fleeting impulses and the ever-present question: What is truly worth pursuing? Through reflections on success, failure, and personal transformation, Fragments of Discipline explores the paradox of ambition—the fine line between control and surrender, purpose and detachment. In the end, the protagonist must confront his greatest challenge: himself.

Rooted in the profound philosophies of Hinduism and Buddhism, Life and Beyond takes you on a journey through cosmic adventure, spiritual awakening, and mind-expanding revelations. If you have ever questioned the nature of reality, the weight of karma, or the possibility of transcendence, then prepare to dissolve the boundaries between life, death, and the infinite. Do you know what lies beyond life and existence? What if everything you believe about reality is a fragment of something far greater? Adi, a seeker of truth, embarks on a journey beyond the known world—across lifetimes, realms, and dimensions. He is not searching for mere knowledge but for the ultimate truth. But what is truth? Do you know what the cycle of reincarnation is? Why do enlightened beings seek liberation? Is there really free will, or are we bound by karma? In the vast cosmic order, Brahma—the creator—has four heads. But what if that is only true for our realm? In higher planes, there exist Brahmas with a hundred, a million, even a billion heads, each governing realities beyond imagination. Adi ventures through these infinite planes, questioning everything he knows. Do you want to understand Tantra? What about Kundalini—how does one awaken it? What is enlightenment, and what happens when one truly sees beyond illusion? Are you ready to seek the truth?

"Elysium of the Fallen" is a novella in the mecha genre. A post-apocalyptic, scorched world, philosophy, psychology, sadness, melancholy, depression, and "Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations!".( I hope someone gets the reference.) Well, originally I planned to write some light-hearted novella with the usual "system" and harem, but... I will never allow myself to create something... like that. So, there won’t be any systems, harems, or Mary Sue characters here (well, I’ll at least try). Anyway, I’ll try to release chapters... as often as possible (considering that I’ll be writing two stories at once). If you don’t like something, don’t throw things at me, just write it and I’ll try to improve... well, that’s it... Good luck to everyone, thanks to those who will read, and I’m off to read a biblical apocryphon and drink my eighth espresso. Ciao!

I Dreamed of Cultivation... and Got Homework Instead! “Ah, reincarnation into a xianxia world! Time to wield swords, shoot qi bullets, and become the overlord of the heavens!” At least, that’s what Lin Mao thought would happen. Instead, he woke up in a scholar’s robe, surrounded by ink-stained fingers and people debating... philosophy. “This isn’t the path to immortality! This is the path to finals!” Now Lin Mao has to navigate his life in the prestigious Sky Moon Sect, where flying on swords is nothing but a dream. The only thing flying is debates and enlightenment that comes from philosophy, not martial arts. Instead of fighting demonic beasts, he's fighting grumpy senior brothers, mysterious sect elders, and his master that has a.......long beard. “Who needs qi cultivation when you have the ‘Path of Society’? What does that even mean?! And why does everyone here hate jokes?!” Filled with nothing but Earth’s most degenerate novels, his unhinged personality, and his special ability to accidentally piss people off, Lin Mao is determined to shake up the scholar world. He might not be a cultivator, but who says he can’t make being a scholar legendary? “This isn’t the dream I signed up for, but whatever. If they are going to make me study, I’ll do it my way!” **** This novel will be story-focused, blending humor, character development, and world-building. However, it will also include R18 elements with detailed smut for those who enjoy a little spice in their story. You’ve been warned!

What happens after the end? When death isn’t release, but a door—one that opens to something far worse? Welcome to The Labyrinth, where every path leads to suffering and every death drags you back to the start. It doesn’t want to kill you. It wants to grind you down, again and again, until even your soul forgets how to scream. How many times can you break before there’s nothing left? But what if, instead of breaking, you laugh? What if, stripped of fear, stripped of humanity, you become something...else? In the end, perhaps the only true defiance is to keep walking—no matter how many times the Labyrinth pulls you back. ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ A.N - Expect heavy philosophy and existentialism. Also expect a really villainous MC, inspired from Fang Yuan. The setting is similar to Maze Runner, only dialed up to 11 and with much, much more violence and death.

In a land teetering on the brink of chaos, one man's wit and willpower could alter the fate of an entire realm. Adventure awaits at every turn, and the stakes have never been higher. David Goodchild isn't just a runeweaver; he's a tactical genius and a maverick of mind and magic. But his journey to Eldoria was no accident. On what seemed like an ordinary date, a mysterious woman—who is, in truth, a goddess in disguise—decides that David's "red pill" views need to be tested. She pulls him into a realm where societal norms are upended, and survival hinges on adaptability and understanding. Stranded in the rugged outpost of Brackhold on the edge of the wild, David quickly realizes that survival demands more than just wit—it requires mastering the game's very code. With sword in one hand and runes in the other, he embarks on an epic journey toward the heart of the province, battling rune-bound beasts, navigating treacherous quests, and unlocking hidden abilities that push the boundaries of reality. Eldoria is a land where alliances are forged in fire and broken with a whisper. Rival factions vie for dominance, and powerful women—be they rival queens, enigmatic mages, or cunning courtesans—hold the keys to kingdoms. Armed with a philosophy that challenges the very foundations of societal norms, David must decode their intentions, turning potential adversaries into unexpected allies. Harnessing the LitRPG elements of this new world, David exploits game-like mechanics to ascend in power, outsmart his enemies, and redefine what's possible in runeweaving. As he delves deeper into Eldoria's secrets, he discovers that magic here is as programmable as software, and reality is more malleable than he ever imagined.

In a world where power is measured by the strength of one’s cultivation and the sharpness of one’s blade, **Li Wei**, the enigmatic leader of the Hidden Moon Sect, walks a dangerous tightrope. Once a prodigy betrayed and left for dead, Li Wei has rebuilt his life in the shadows, leading a small but formidable sect that thrives in secrecy. His philosophy is simple: stay hidden, stay strong, and strike only when the time is right.

Power is everything, an ideal embraced by countless souls, a philosophy that pulses through the veins of this world. In a society where might reigns supreme, individuals are not measured by their intelligence, their kindness, or their charm. Instead, they are defined by their strength—the raw, unyielding force they wield. In this realm, it is power that dictates the course of life, not virtue or merit. Those who possess it can shape the world around them, seizing wealth, respect, and influence with nothing but a display of their might. Strength is the currency, and those without it are left to linger in the shadows, overlooked and forgotten.

In a world overshadowed by eternal darkness, monstrous creatures born from meteorite fragments have ravaged humanity, forcing survivors underground into a colony devoid of light. Among them is Zami Agatoru, a young man burdened by tragedy and destined for greatness. Once a promising warrior of his clan, Zami was the sole survivor of a monster attack that claimed his family and clan. Now, he dwells in the vast, oppressive underworld, facing unimaginable horrors while seeking redemption and purpose. Zami’s strength stems not from supernatural powers but from years of relentless training and a cursed ability: revival. Upon death, Zami revives moments before his defeat, retaining memories and honing his skills over countless lifetimes. This ability has allowed him to surpass human limits, evolving both mind and body into the perfect warrior. Armed with a black katana forged from an otherworldly stone and a toxic dagger he crafted from monster bones, Zami ventures deeper into the colony. He faces terrifying Vessels, avatars of powerful entities tied to the meteorites. Each Vessel wields devastating abilities, challenging Zami’s resolve and pushing him beyond his physical and mental limits. As Zami progresses, he unravels the colony's dark secrets: the origin of the meteorites, the true nature of the Vessels, and the essence of the creatures that worship these fragments. Along the way, he uncovers the deeper truth about himself and the entity that dwells within him—Karesh, a being tied to the meteorite’s power. Driven by the need to protect humanity and confront the Vessels, Zami faces impossible odds. From the Abyssal Cradle, home of the fearsome Wailing Dread, to the Forsaken Hollow, where the Silent Agony’s true body lies, and the Withering Spire, where Shattered Dominion warps reality itself, Zami battles creatures that defy logic. Amid this chaos, Zami grapples with his humanity. His stoic, emotionless demeanor hides a young man carrying the weight of loss and duty. Moments of quiet—crafting weapons, preparing food, or reflecting on his clan’s philosophy—highlight his depth and resilience. Through countless revivals, bloody battles, and grueling challenges, Zami inches closer to his ultimate goal: destroying the meteorite fragments and ending the monsters’ reign. But with each battle, the cost of his journey grows heavier, forcing him to confront the essence of sacrifice, mortality, and the question of what it truly means to be human.

What is the nature of good and evil? What is loyalty and family? Dose culture change what these words mean? Would and Angel really be pure good? Or a demon true evil? Philosophy is what defines the answer. Let see if you can figure out mine. Cover art by an unknown user on tumbler, if I find their name I will credit them proper.

'Sinner of the Spades' takes place in an alternate early 20th century, at the turn of industrial advancement. Set in a world where one Empire rules over the majority of the western continent, the world is ravaged by the aftereffects of a great war. It is a world of tragedy, of longing for wealth, of parading high above the clouds, of mechanical automatons, and of grand tales of sorcery not many have had the chance to see themselves. Lumière Croft is a show magician in the middle borough of the city-state of Leiden- rather, an illusionist. A career liar. Responsible for making money to help out at the monastery he lives in, he can only curse the dreadful circumstances around him, and wish desperately that something would change. Although, that change is not always a good thing. Only when the shadows around him begin to creep, and when the sky grows burgeoning eyes, and when blood is spilled, does he find hope of fulfilling his wishes. To have sunlight, the world must be balanced with cruelty. To have power, one must lose their soul, humanity, morality, or sanity. One must ultimately balance the scales of their debt, or fall eternally to suffering, and have the scales corrected by force. This is the story of balance, of hope, and of the tragedy of a liar. —- “We’re all liars who pretend that the world is okay, and as liars we adopt philosophies and ideologies to cope with its cruelty. Because the world has hope, as long as we speak these lies loud enough, they’ll surely become true.” - Lumière Croft. --- Cover illustration done by @i_evuuu/Everest

The end came silently, not with an explosion, but with the imminent exhaustion of the energy that gave life to the universe. The calculations were irrefutable: entropy was advancing without pause, consuming the stars until they were left in a state of coldness and death. Humanity, which had conquered the galaxy and mastered the laws of physics, was facing its final challenge: extinction. For centuries, the most brilliant scientists and thinkers searched for a solution, but collapse was inevitable. They could not fight against the fate of the cosmos, but they could ensure that their existence was not forgotten. Thus one last project. A perfect structure, built with materials unknown even to its own creators, capable of withstanding the passage of eons. Inside, it housed the entirety of human knowledge: history, science, philosophy, technology, art and culture. More than just a simple archive, it contained an artificial intelligence with evolutionary capabilities, designed to preserve, learn and adapt to any environment in which it might find itself. With one last effort, the Archive was launched into the abyss of space, traversing unknown dimensions and realities, with one goal: to find a new home, a place where their knowledge could be passed on, where humanity could, in some way, be reborn. Centuries, millennia, perhaps eons later, the Archive descended upon a different world. A world where magic was the essence that ruled life, where ancient civilizations fought for dominance over forgotten realms and impossible creatures sailed the skies and seas. It was in this world that a young man, unknown to his own people, would find the greatest legacy of an extinct civilization. And with it, change the fate of everything he knew. The age of magic was about to meet the lost knowledge of another world.

Upon awakening, Dev finds himself inhabiting the body of Conrad Valor in a world far different from his own. His mysterious reincarnation takes an even stranger turn when he encounters a young woman who addresses him as "Lord" – though he has no memory of such a title. As Dev navigates this new reality, he uncovers dark secrets and horrifying truths that lie beneath its surface. Each revelation brings him closer to understanding his role in a fate that could reshape reality itself. Expectations: - Slow Burn story - A protagonist's compelling growth from vulnerability to strength - A vast, intricately crafted world with deep lore - An innovative power system that encourages reader speculation - Romance - Secretive organizations with hidden in shadows - A blend of mystery and horror elements - Powerful emotional moments I started writing this because I wanted to create a world and a power system that captures the awe of the supernatural in a way that transcends human comprehension. Much like how, in our own universe, we may never uncover all its mysteries, I wanted to tell a story that inspires countless theories—none of which offer a definitive answer to the truth. That idea grew and evolved into The Eye Behind Mist. If you decide to join me on this journey, thank you! I’m having a lot of fun creating this, and I hope you’ll enjoy it just as much. ***Warning: This is a work of fiction intended for mature audiences. It is set in a dark and violent world, with scenes that may evoke discomfort in readers—this is intentional.

Time is the one thing Calafiori always wished he could change ever since a traumatic event left him with the ability to perceive future events, but until now he never acted towards it. A chaotic event that should have claimed the life of a young Colette leaves her with time bending abilities that sees her go back few moments in time and effect changes in the direction of time that was supposed to be linear, completely changing the fate of things.
