ASSEMBLE, DRAGONS! Meet Daniel, a young man from Earth who, after his death, was summoned by a God called the Devouring Dragon God. The Devouring Dragon God gave him a chance to be reborn in another world—not just an ordinary world, but a fantasy world filled with dragons, phoenixes, magic powers, cultivation, and more. The kind of world no novel, anime, or manga fan would want to miss—and neither would Daniel. But nothing comes for free in this life. In return, the Devouring Dragon God wanted him to avenge the extermination of the Dragon Clan. And the enemy? The one thing everyone fears, the very name that makes all beings tremble—Gods. At first, Daniel refused. But the Devouring Dragon God simply said, "You either sink into oblivion or accept your fate." With no other choice, Daniel agreed. In exchange, the Devouring Dragon God granted him three wishes. After being reborn, our idiotic MC expected everything to be under his control. However, after facing the harsh reality of this world, he was forged anew. Witness the epic rise of the Devouring Dragon, the last dragon, the one whose name spreads terror among Gods. The one who single-handedly rebuilt the Dragon Clan. The one whose name strikes fear across universes and the cosmos.

Ed was transported into a world of Hunters, a harsh and extreme environment. In this world, winter days last only two hours, and even in summer, the daylight barely stretches to six hours! What makes it even more eerie is that when night falls, all creatures of various races turn into violent, frenzied monsters. Evil spreads everywhere, and the night itself becomes humanity's worst nightmare! Hunters, however, can only train through the Sunlight Meditation Technique, using the brief daylight hours to cultivate their strength. But Ed awakens the Moonlight Meditation Technique! From that point on, while others flee from the night, Ed thrives in it, growing stronger and stronger with each passing day! He slays dark sorcerers, exterminates vampires, and defeats the Wolf King! Gradually, Ed becomes the strongest human to ever exist!

The world mirrored our own, a cruel jest of familiarity. Within its mundane veneer, a darkness festered in the heart of a boy named Kamazaki. Not a hunger for gold, nor a thirst for power, but a ravenous craving for the crimson nectar of life itself. A twisted affliction, a silent scream in the chambers of his mind, drove him to shadows, where he became a phantom, a whisper of death unnoticed by the world. His journey begins. Not with the roar of conquest, but with the quiet whisper of a broken heart seeking to mend itself. And in that whisper, the world will tremble

"Kill them all - every last member of House Grim must die tonight!" That was the last thing Renard heard before his world turned to ash. One night was all it took for him to lose everything - his family slaughtered, his home burned to ashes, all because the other Great Houses branded them traitors. They thought they wiped a noble line. Instead, they created a monster. Rising from the despair of losing everything, Renard became the beast Sovereign. He embraced the darkness and rose to the position of the 7th commander of the dreaded demon army. Leading an army of Demons and monsters, he brought three legendary Heroes to their knees and crushed four Great Houses to dust. But just as revenge was within his grasp, the champion of Humanity - Klean Weaver's holy sword pierced his heart. Renard thought that was the end. But something impossible happened. He woke up in the past, in a time when his family still lived and House Grim stood strong among the Eight Great Houses A second chance! A chance to change everything. That wasn’t all.

One year after the Heroes of the Realm defeated the Last Demon, the world should have known peace. But peace is a fragile thing. Erik Voller never wanted to be a hero. Power was all he sought, strength beyond any mortal—enough to carve his own path, free from kings and Gods alike. Yet when a hunt for forbidden strength leads him to the heart of something far greater, he finds himself standing at the edge of another war.

Ryuxian never sought power, but power found him—cursed, relentless, and insatiable. Branded as a serpent, burdened with the Devouring Tyrant, he is no longer merely human—he is a predator in a world that fears what it cannot control. With eyes like fractured amethyst laced in gold, he carries a hunger that can consume gods, unravel secrets, and devour even time itself. But such power comes at a cost. As ancient forces stir, Ryuxian is thrust into a war where forgotten deities, shadowed factions, and the all-seeing Tower pull his fate in opposing directions. Each battle strips away his humanity, each revelation drags him deeper into the abyss of his own existence. The lines between hunter and hunted blur, and the question remains—does he wield his power, or does it wield him? In a world where even gods can fall, will Ryuxian conquer the beast within, or will he become the nightmare whispered in the dark? ------------------------ https://discord.gg/mfbMZGcf I updated the Ryuxian first look check out my account you can see how ryuxian looks there and I updating daily the minor details and upcoming events in chapter's.

“When the stars weep and realms bleed, a Devourer shall rise…” In a world where monstrous beasts invade through rifts and only warriors with awakened beast genes stand a chance, power defines worth. Cities rise and empires fall at the whim of strength. Yet in the weakest kingdom, an unknown boy awakens not a beast, but a system—Devour. He doesn’t inherit a single bloodline; he consumes them all. As others chase synchronization, he breaks its limits. Hunted by gods, feared by monsters, he walks the path of annihilation. For he was never meant to be a warrior. He was born to Devour.

Death followed Achilles like a plague. Finding himself at his lowest point, he comes to realize how little value human life held as terrifying Advanced Humans and Evolutius Beasts waded across the Colonies of this World. About to lose the only remaining person close to him by falling into the jaws of an Evolutius Beast, a spark bloomed inside of him as the Evolutius Crystals he held disappeared, and he saw a distinct blue panel appear before his eyes! [Achilles Maxwell] [Assimilation]:: Organic Crystal(Evolutius Crystals)(3%)- Obtained qualities of Regeneration, Energy Conversion, Flexibility, and Light Manipulation  [Existence Corruption Value]:: 0% [Complexity]:: Negligible A simple spark. And yet the changes it brought…were limitless! In an endlessly vast post-apocalyptic world filled with futuristic Colonies that merged magic with technology, undercurrents surge from the depths of the World as even the Ancient Ones sealed many years ago begin to awaken. In the middle of all this, the terrifying power dwelling within Achilles leads him to question its origins, and the answer to this is something that resonates and leads back to his very bloodline. Ancient Ones. Advanced Ones. Ancient Bloodlines, and Unfathomable Lineages...anything and everything swirls into a storm of heavy proportions that will change everything!

Ethan Yagami, the lazy, gentle, and carefree young master of a powerful noble family, only wants to enjoy life and relax. But on the day of his awakening ceremony, the most cliché thing imaginable happens to him… [Ding! The System is bonding to you.] [Bonding successful! Congratulations, Host! You have awakened: The Divine Benevolence System.] [Please, Host, give more and be more benevolent.] [Because the more you give, the more you shall receive.] Ethan blinks. “…So I’m basically a Saint now?” With a smile as lazy as ever, Ethan realizes his path to power isn’t through grinding or killing monsters—it’s through giving things away. Money? Skills? Weapons? Even trash? As long as he gives selflessly, the rewards return a thousandfold. And so, while the world expects a humble philanthropist, Ethan casually breaks the balance of power, amassing wealth, strength, and influence—all while doing as little work as possible. Because, after all… Why struggle when generosity makes you overpowered?

Lee Hwan was summoned to a fantasy world… as the “Trash Hero.” No sword skills. No magic. No charisma. Even the king tossed him out the castle gates on day one. But what no one knew was this: [You have awakened the Lazy God System. You gain power by doing nothing.] - Sleeping: +100 Strength - Eating: +50 Defense - Skipping a fight: +1000 EXP While other heroes trained, bled, and cried… Lee Hwan slept under a tree, ate snacks, and accidentally became the most powerful being in the world. Now, armies tremble when he yawns. Demons bow when he scratches his head. The gods? They're trying to nerf him. But Lee Hwan? He just wants a nap.

Deep within a realm of eternal dusk, where ancient magic intertwines with primal forces, Zareth awakens. In this dark fantasy, survival is governed by instinct and a relentless hunger for transformation. Born of forgotten rites and unyielding evolution, Zareth is a creature whose every ferocious act is etched into an unbreakable code-a code that shapes its destiny in a land untouched by mortal design. As Zareth prowls shadowed labyrinths and battles formidable beasts in brutal, mystical encounters, it gathers strength and fragments of power, ever evolving into something greater. Each victory, each scar, and every whispered secret of the arcane serves to mold Zareth, driving it closer to a transformation that defies the very fabric of its existence.

Jason Adams died forty years after the world changed. He didn't awaken powers but survived while crawling in the mud, hiding from monsters and awakeners alike—those who don't have power become the slaves of those who do have powers. But at the end of his life, he was blessed with a do-over, able to go back in time five years before the world changed to build a harem that would be fanatically loyal to him—the Fluid system- binding women to him in return for making them Awaken and become stronger. Be warned, it's an R-18 smut harem with a lot of lemons. (Taboo.) This is a re-upload, as someone thought my first go-around was too spicy. So it will take me some time to unspicify it some for the weak masses.

Eight months ago, Rory and his brother were forced into The Middle without warning, now at the mercy of what lurked in The Below and The Above. Six months ago, Rory awakened as a second rank weapons summoner, the cruel fate that demolished all his aspirations saw fit to grant him a measly fighting chance in this world. Two months ago, the Demons attacked, Demons far stronger than anything he'd seen up till then. Demons that nearly took away what was dearest to him. On this month, he takes a job he never should've looked at. A job that'll transform him into something of legend, or something of myth...

Hundred years ago, Blue Star was a peaceful land. But suddenly, the sky cracked open, and from it, many hideous creatures came out. They didn't just stop after coming out of the rift, they began killing and devouring humans without care for gender, age, or even childrens. Seeing their own kind being devoured in front of them, humans felt fear and despair, thinking it was the end of the world. However, suddenly people began awakening strange powers within their bodies, and with that, they begin to fight back. After a hundred years of bloody battle, humans of Divine Beast Star finally gained a foothold in their homeland. They built small settlements to survive. Even so, they still lived in fear that one day they might be devoured again, as stronger demons continued to appear over time.

But soon, he realized he was the unluckiest transmigrator, he had no special powers, no magic rings with old grandpa, not even a trashy system.............
