Hisoka Zodiacs

(AN: Give my novel a try until ch12 please!) New Current Schedule - Minimum 2 chapters / a day Mass Release Target - 40 golden tickets ________________________________________________ [Novel synopsis]; In a world scarred by the rise of biomechanical warfare and the shadow of an enigmatic syndicate known only as Ragnarok, one girl stands at the edge of revolution. April, a seemingly ordinary 20-year-old living in the fractured remnants of a future society, hides a past drenched in trauma and secrets. Blinded and deafened during a harrowing attempt to escape her abusive father—a man who destroyed her family—April is forced into a life of silence and darkness. But everything changes after an experimental surgery implants nanotech into her skull, technology far beyond anything humanity should possess. Now, April sees without eyes and hears through a new kind of sense. The nanotech has awakened a dormant potential in her—a coded sigil etched behind her head shaped like an angelic wing and a spear. It’s not just a symbol. It’s her Gear, a powerful combat system linked to ancient animalistic and Zodiac powers—each wielder embodying a creature of legend. Hers? A spear-born sigil capable of shattering mechs and bending digital space. When she joins a covert organization aiming to dismantle Ragnarok, April discovers she’s not alone. Other Gear users fight beside her: Jax, the brilliant strategist; Saya, the deadly calm blade; Kai, a hawk-gear user with a fire-forged past; Dante, the powerhouse with unmatched resilience; Juno, the data genius cloaked in mischief; and the Leader, a figure shrouded in mystery who knows more about April’s past than he lets on. As April navigates brutal missions and high school halls alike—where rivals like Tessa Lane threaten her sanity with cruel mind games—she must balance normalcy and the battlefield. Every encounter pushes her closer to the truth: about her powers, her family, and Ragnarok’s true purpose. But none are more telling than her growing connection with Astra, a lone Gear user with platinum hair and a piercing gaze. Astra has the power, the knowledge, and a burning desire for vengeance. April needs her—but Astra isn’t so easily convinced to join a cause she doesn’t trust. The deeper April digs, the more the lines blur between ally and enemy. With Ragnarok’s agents—like the cold and calculating River Hoss—looming on the horizon, April must decide who she’s willing to trust, who she’s ready to fight, and how far she’ll go to protect what little she has left. The world doesn’t need a hero. It needs a weapon. And it just found one.

When God dies it's up to an unlikely band of heroes to save the universe.

Increasing might and unending endurance under the scorching sun, thickened skin harder than a diamond, and bodily fluids turning into lethal toxins; are a few examples of powers within a Zeal. A birthmark that forms a distinct symbol representing one of the twelve Gods known by the people as the Zodiac. Zeals are the ultimate gift, for aside from the superhuman ability, its bearer could wield magic based on the element of the God who bestowed them their mark. Although Nusterra is an isolated continent, surrounded by raging and stormy seas filled with monstrous beasts, it is a vast land overflowing with natural riches and mana. Nusterra has a long history of war and bloodshed. Twelve kingdoms emerged to power and for a long time, war with each other reached a deadlock. But, animosity turned to cooperation and an agreement of peace was made after an event that almost wiped out humanity. It happened more than a millennium ago, in the era known to man as the Age of Insanity. Chaos ruled over the land, making both beasts and man succumb to madness. Many thought it ended then, but its crumbs started to show itself and increased through time. A thirteenth territory, the nation of Decatris, was formed at the center of Nusterra after the Age of Insanity, serving as the symbol of peace between the twelve kingdoms and its enforcer. Now, with the growing cases of maddened beasts, Aeneas, a boy from the Proud Lion's kingdom of Pantera, aims to become a knight and a hero despite not bearing a Zeal from any of the twelve Zodiac Gods. __________________ Daily Update Schedule: 12:00 P.M.

Caden is an ordinary young man—or so it seems. For weeks, his nights have been haunted by enigmatic dreams in which a mysterious woman warns him of an imminent danger. When his life takes a sudden turn, he discovers that he possesses an elemental power, an ancient energy symbolized by a zodiac mark on his body. Yet one detail haunts him: he knows he wasn’t born with this mark, and his past before the age of nine is a complete blank. In his search for answers, Caden encounters others who bear similar marks, each tied to an elemental power and representing a zodiac sign. These chosen ones, known as the Zodiac Mages, are guardians of a fragile balance, but their unity shattered years ago. Now, their powers have become the target of those willing to go to any lengths to claim them. To counter this growing threat, Caden sets out to rebuild the Brotherhood of Zodiac Mages. Together, they must overcome their differences, restore the harmony of old, and face an enemy whose strength is beyond imagination. But every alliance comes with its own risks: caught between friendship and betrayal, Caden must discern allies from foes and uncover the truth about his own origins.

“Heroes killed my parents. Now I wear the mask of one. Until I can bury them all.” At seven years old, Hernan Vale watched his parents — two powerful heroes — brutally executed in their own home by the very people they trusted most: the legendary super-team known as the Zodiac 13. They thought he was dead. They made sure the world blamed villains. They covered their tracks. But Hernan survived — and never forgot. Ten years later, under a false name, Hernan enters the prestigious Hero Academy, hailed as a prodigy. To the world, he’s a rising star. To his classmates, he’s charming, calm, unstoppable. But inside? He’s a weapon. Waiting. Smiling. Counting names. As he trains to become a licensed hero, fights real villains, and rises through the ranks, Hernan plays the long game — earning the trust of the Zodiac, learning their routines, studying their weaknesses. One by one, he’ll bring them down. And this time, he won’t hide in the closet. But the deeper he goes, the more blood he spills — the more he wonders if he’s becoming worse than the monsters he’s hunting. And when love, loyalty, and lies collide, Hernan may have to decide: Will he save the world like they think he will... or finish burning it down?

In the realm of Eldara, humans and demi-humans share the land—but not as equals. While humans thrive in walled cities of stone and steel, demi-humans—creatures born of magic and ancient bloodlines—are scorned as the “Impure Race” and driven to the edges of society. But in the shadows of this fractured world, a secret council known only as the Twelve Zodiacs watches over the balance. Each member, bound to a celestial sign, wields unique magic and carries the burden of guarding the old pacts that once united the races. To most, the Zodiacs are a myth. To the Impure, they are protectors—and their last hope. As tensions rise and war draws near, the Twelve Zodiacs must emerge from the shadows. But even among them, trust is fragile… and betrayal may come from within.

“In a world where twelve nations embody the unique traits of the Zodiac signs, ancient rivalries and forbidden love threaten to destroy the delicate balance of power. Can the nations put aside their differences and work together, or will their hatred and distrust tear them apart forever?"

You may know the twelve Zodiacs as the symbols that predict your personalities and future, right? Well, how about a look at the night time activities of these twelve Zodiacs? The Zodiacs of the Heavenly Realm have come out to play!

Elion Hayes never planned on being hunted. He was just a university student scraping by, no real direction, no grand purpose—until a night out turned into a waking nightmare. Because apparently, were-beasts or beast-men are real, they’re everywhere, and they don’t appreciate humans getting in their way. Now, Elion is on the run with a 'cowboy' from another world (yes, really), a best friend who’s way too excited about all of this, and a growing list of reasons to regret every life choice that led him here. At the center of it all? The Beast Rings—ancient artifacts infused with the power of monsters. Some grant strength beyond human limits. Others corrupt, turning their wielders into nightmares. And the Lord, the shadowy figure pulling the strings, plans to unleash thousands of them across the world. Elion isn’t a warrior. He doesn’t have some legendary bloodline or divine blessing. He’s just learned about Mana Gates and barely unlocked the first three of the 118 Mana Gates that allow someone to tap into their true power and to control the Beast Rings. Before he could gain any real progress, the Lord’s most elite enforcers—the Zodiacs—and all kinds of beast-men are already closing in. The mission? Retrieve the corrupted Beast Rings before they fall into the wrong hands. Defy the Lord’s plan before the world is overrun. Survive long enough to figure out why, out of everyone, he’s been thrown into the middle of this. He and Jordan may not have been prepared for any of this, but their new ally, Ronan, isn’t giving them a choice. If they don’t fight back? The world as they know it is done. What to Expect: [+] Weak-to-Strong Protagonist – Elion starts at zero, but survival means learning fast. [+] Shapeshifters & Monster Battles – Think were-beasts, but worse. [+] Clear Progression – Unlockable powers, evolving abilities, and high stakes. [+] A Race Against Time – The Beast Rings are spreading, and humanity is not ready. [+] Ancient Powers & Forbidden Arts – 118 Mana Gates to unlock, each one unlocking something deeper. [+] Humor Meets High-Octane Action – Snark, survival, and a world that doesn’t play fair. [+] Massive World-Building & Hidden Secrets – The Beast Rings didn’t start in this world… and neither did the war. The first mistake? Getting involved. The second? Thinking he has a choice.

In the foremost reality of Gura, the Zodiacs are revered as demigods, each wielding supernatural abilities passed down across generations known as The Twelve Paths of Power. They are the pillars of destiny—For sake for its peace or something else entirely. Among them is Scorpio, a calculated mastermind who refuses to be a mere pawn of fate. As tensions rise and the world teeters on the edge of rebirth or destruction, Scorpio and his fellow Zodiacs find themselves at the center of an ideological war—one that will determine the true nature of power, order, and chaos. Will they forge a new path for Gura, or will they become the architects of its downfall? This is the epic clash of multifaceted ideologies—where gods walk among mortals, and power belongs to those daring enough to seize it.

Humanity craves power, most would like to do it behind the scenes, or show off and be the center of the attention. And that's been the case for almost centuries now. Back then, a mysterious gift had befallen one man, which caused the world to gain what was called: Systems. Nobody had known how it originated or how it existed in Earth, but once most humans started obtaining it, they used it for their own gain, having Systems that matched their ideals, desires, personalities. Associations and Agencies began forming to prevent havoc and chaos happening if one were to use a system for bad things. Of course, some did, and some stopped it. Obtaining a System is very difficult, most would try to obtain it by hardwork, while some get it through luck, or they were gifted. But a particular person, had obtained a System, that would cause the entire association, agencies, government and maybe the entire system society. Have all eyes onto him. Zodiac Li. A high school student who craves nothing but peace and a successful quiet lifestyle, would turn his life around upon stumbling this system. Unknown what the future has for him, he either uses the System he obtained for good, or for the worse.

A strange and powerful existence suddenly appears on Earth in the year 2040. It gives humanity one message: "Find me amongst the stars, or existence will fold." As the being disappears, it leaves behind a mysterious dust that when consumed will allow a person to attune to one of the twelve Zodiac constellations, becoming a 'Star Born' who can defy logic with supernatural powers. Decades later, the United Congregation of Earth and it's Dominions send trained pilots who have become star born, known simply as 'Spacers' with ships out into the unexplored cosmos to complete the task of finding 'it'. People rarely return from these journeys, but it's better they don't, as a Spacer's return always heralds disaster. Marcus Debecross, a young man who has just graduated from pilot school, is certain with his aims, which is to become a Spacer who delves into the realm of the cosmic paranormal in order to discover salvation for a universe on borrowed time. Or at least... the strange dreams he's been having urged him to. - . - . - . - . - * SENSITIVE THEMES AND DEPICTIONS OF VIOLENCE *

The protagonist, Qi Xia, awakens in a strange room with nine others. A humanoid sheep informs them they must participate in a special game—to create a god like Nuwa. Their first challenge is "The Liar," where each must recount their last memories before arriving. As they exchange stories, they realize they come from different provinces and all died in an earthquake, suggesting a global catastrophe. After four rounds, they win but do not return to reality. Instead, they step into a ruined city filled with death—the "Land of Ruin." A humanoid dragon explains that to escape, they must gamble against the "Twelve Zodiacs" wearing animal masks and collect 3,600 "Dao" within ten days. As the game progresses, Qi Xia’s teammates die one by one, revealing that in their final moments, they awaken supernatural abilities—such as pulling objects from empty containers. This phenomenon, called "Echo," allows them to manipulate reality in small ways. On the fourth day, Qi Xia is also killed but unexpectedly wakes up the day before entering the Land of Ruin. He relives the earthquake, returns to the interview room, and finds his wife has disappeared from the real world, leaving no trace of her existence. The Land of Ruin was created by powerful figures who followed an ancient book detailing methods to obtain supernatural abilities. Their goal was to create a god, using over a thousand souls who were originally meant to descend into hell as test subjects. However, the highest authority, Tianlong, defied the original plan, believing he should be the one to ascend. He abandoned the god-making project and instead made a wager with Qi Xia. Qi Xia either loses (or does not lose) the bet and has his sorrow sealed. However, before his defeat, his power surges, and he declares that all fallen participants will return and that the Echo-bearers will overthrow Tianlong. Because of his words, all the deceased revive on the eleventh day. In the second grand cycle, Qi Xia loses his sorrow and can no longer awaken his ability, "Everlasting Vitality." This weakens his efficiency in looping through time. Meanwhile, Tianlong fabricates a lie that collecting 3,600 Dao will allow them to escape, stalling for time. Qi Xia, desperate to find another way out, even attempts to become one of the Zodiacs. He starts as a Human-Sheep, and after killing many participants, ascends to the status of an Earthly Sheep. However, as he is about to become a Heavenly Sheep, Tianlong deceives him, erases his memories, and resets him to a normal human—thus beginning the main story. Through countless loops, Qi Xia allies with others who have awakened Echo abilities, battling Tianlong and his forces, including the Zodiacs and Divine Beasts. They must not only survive deadly games but also uncover the hidden secrets of the Land of Ruin, all while navigating betrayals, tests of trust, and human nature’s complexities. The story’s climax is full of twists. The first major revelation is that Qi Xia had already become a god. The entire novel is actually his second loop—his first rebellion failed, Tianlong destroyed the Land of Ruin, and Qi Xia was the sole survivor. In eternity, Qi Xia used his godlike power to recreate the Land of Ruin, reviving the Zodiacs, Divine Beasts, and participants, setting the stage for another battle against Tianlong. The second twist reveals Qi Xia tricks Tianlong into a dream, using his power to create a new world where everyone’s wishes are fulfilled. However, this world cannot contain Qi Xia. In the end, he sacrifices himself, exchanging his despair for everyone else’s happiness.
