Ashen Blade: Legacy of the Forgotten is a dystopian cyberpunk thriller set in a future where the world has been reshaped by the unchecked power of corporate dynasties known as the Keiretsu (系列). These massive conglomerates have replaced nations and governments, molding the world through commerce, warfare, and control. In this new age, power is everything, and survival is earned—not guaranteed. The social structure is brutal, built on a rigid hierarchy where strength and honor are the currency of survival. At the top are the Kurokenshi (黒剣士)—elite warriors who maintain their humanity despite advanced augmentations. Beneath them, the Integrated rely on cybernetic enhancements to survive, while the Unshackled, those without enhancements, struggle to cling to a dying existence. The lowest rung, however, is occupied by the Glitched—individuals who should not exist. Born outside corporate control or as failed prototypes, they are anomalies—threats in a world that cannot afford mistakes. The story follows Ash Atsuyuki, the last of the Shirogiri clan, a once-proud bloodline of elite warriors now reduced to fighting for survival in a world that has moved beyond honor and tradition. His family’s name is little more than a relic, a fading echo of an era when power was earned through steel, discipline, and the ancient martial codes of Kurogami (黒神)—the planet that birthed his ancestors. With his father gone, his mother dead, and his grandfather clinging to life, Ash walks the crumbling streets of a city ruled by corporate power and surveillance, where history and bloodlines no longer matter. Ash’s journey is one of reclaiming not just his heritage, but the very essence of power. In a world where only the strong survive, Ash must rise above the ruins of his family’s name, rediscover the forgotten martial techniques of the Black Gods, and reclaim his place among the elite. But in a world dominated by corporate overlords and enhanced warriors, can a fallen bloodline ever truly rise again?

Several centuries ago, this world underwent a phenomenon that blessed humans with a supernatural power called an Aspect. As time passed, heroes began to arise as their power, achievements and courage for placing their lives on the line to save the innocent inspired many as those with an Aspect dreamed of becoming a symbol of peace for our world. I, Rai Shinsei, was one of them as I would hear many stories of heroes from the townsfolk, although, the source of my inspiration was from my two loving parents, who were idolized by the townsfolk as their strength and kindness left me captivated, but despite my dreams, fate had a different future in store for me as tragedy soon occurred, changing my life forever. On my sixth birthday, I witnessed a catastrophe. My once tranquil hometown, which housed kindhearted souls was ravaged by none other than a hero, whose destruction knew no bounds as any structure within his sight was obliterated while every being within my hometown was mercilessly slaughtered. The screams and cries of those I once knew left me in a trepidatious state, but my nightmare was far from over as the remaining survivors was none other than my parents, who were forced to say their goodbyes as the hero killed them right before my eyes, sparing only me and on that day, I was never interested in becoming a hero anymore. Selling my soul to vengeance, I made a vow. To destroy the Hero Association. Although, everything changed once I was forced to enroll into a place I would have never imagined. A Hero Academy.

The world has plunged into an apocalypse, and humans have shrunk in size. Houses now resemble towering skyscrapers, tables and chairs seem like massive structures, c*ckroaches are like speedy sports cars, and mice appear as gigantic beasts. Industries have collapsed, and agriculture lies abandoned. The question arises: can civilization endure, and can humanity reclaim its position at the top of the food chain? Survival, exploration, hunting, construction, farming, and the quest for dominance ensue. Chen Mu wakes up in the classroom, picking up a half-broken staple from the ground, gazing at this vast new world…

After the betrayal of Luciferel, and having to deal with the Nephilim problem God made a few changes to how Heaven was run. Time does not quite flow the same in Heaven, so God was able to draw inspiration from millennia of human history. In the end, God chooses to structure things like a mega-corporation with him as the CEO and his archangels acting as department heads. To keep the threat of another angel rebellion to a minimum, every few years the angels would be ordered to change departments. To ensure that things ran smoothly and that the communication between departments happened in a timely fashion a Heaven-wide internet was established called Godnet. Due to an accident caused by mistaken identity, John Smith was killed by an angel on her first day in the Department of Death. By the time she released her mistake, it was far too late to "just" put him back in his own body. In an effort to correct her mistake the angel tried to have John Smith be reborn in the universe she originally was supposed to have a John Smith die in. The Angel was originally in IT for Godnet so she thought that it would be not too difficult to hide her little oops by altering a few records. However, she got a call from Upper Management during the process of having John be reborn. Figuring the " proper" department would step in to finish the process, the angel left to report to upper management, not wanting to receive an even bigger punishment than what she was already going to receive. In her rush to leave, she forgot to close down the connection to Godnet.

--WSA 2025 ENTRY-- Neraxis saved the people and wiped out the monsters, but instead of cheers, he faced silence and a glowing blue text: [Task Failed Successfully!] [Rating Generated: SSS-Rank] "The hell does that even mean?" he muttered, finding the situation a bit strange. Before he could process, the so-called heroes—who had hidden while he fought—emerged. He waited for gratitude, only to feel a dagger pierce his back. The only girl he loved stood behind him. She betrayed him. The crowd and heroes? They were staring at him with disdain and contempt. "You..." he groaned as a spear and sword headed for him, ending his life. But instead of dying, he was sent back to the past—specifically, to the first day of the academy, year 2367, 8 years before his death. However, many things had changed. One of the most significant was the sudden appearance of a Tower, a mysterious structure that had appeared across all the continents, granting power to those brave enough to contest its challenges.

In the year 2026, the world is shattered when massive structures descend from the sky, crashing to Earth and unleashing chaos. Humanity is transported to the Tutorial, a brutal 100-floor trial designed to forge survivors into Hunters. Those who conquer it return to an Earth overrun by monstrous gates, where survival is a daily battle. Among them is Cosmic, a young man who never received the Tutorial’s power, living a normal life until his Hunter friends drag him into a deadly gate. Facing a terrifying dragon, Cosmic meets his end—but his story is far from over. Cosmic is the latest reincarnation of a soul chosen by the goddess Aetheria to save humanity. Across countless lives, he has been reborn as different races and classes, each life a step in his journey to become the Great Sage, a being destined to guide humanity through its eternal struggle. In one life, he was Eryndor, a human hero chosen to defeat the Demon King. Betrayed by his companions after fulfilling his destiny, Eryndor’s soul returned to Aetheria, who vowed to give him another chance. In another, he was Kaelion, a Demon Lord who rose to power in the underworld. Though feared by many, Kaelion sought to unite demons and humans, only to be struck down by those who feared his vision of peace. He has also lived as Lunara, an Elven Archmage who mastered the arcane arts to protect her forest home from destruction, and as Tharok, a Dwarven Blacksmith whose legendary weapons turned the tide of countless battles. Each reincarnation brings Cosmic closer to understanding the true nature of the eternal struggle—a cycle of conflict between demons, gods, and mortals. Now, as Cosmic, he must uncover the secrets of his past lives, harness the power of his many classes and races, and confront the forces that threaten to tear the world apart. From humble beginnings to the heights of power, Cosmic’s journey is one of sacrifice, growth, and the unyielding will to protect a world teetering on the brink of destruction.

The "Imperishable", Entities Above Everything Else, understood this undeniable truth eons ago, gifting to the Mortals a few tools to overcome the challenges across their lives. With this, amusing their own boring existences, looking with enthusiasm what new story could unfold, or if the same mistakes would be done once again but by a different person. The First Gift, is "Shards", called "Cards" by some, this otorgue instant rewards when you exchange them in an "Imperishable Monolith".

The Third Gift, is the "Perennence", with a 100 you won't Die if you are slain, you simply would "Respawn" in a "Memory Hall", making you partially Immortal, because as long as you have 1 of Perennence, you wouldn't be really dead, and someone else can "Revive" you by providing the missing resource.

In a future where Earth's surface is uninhabitable, humanity survives inside the Whaledome, a massive, whale-shaped ship that tunnels through the underground world. Life within the dome is governed by a harsh social system that demands perfection. Any deviation from the ideal means death or exile. Shea, the daughter of one of the High Engineers, carries a dangerous secret—she is half-blind. In a society that values flawless health and intellect, being “imperfect” is a death sentence. Each year, the Engineer Enrollment selects the brightest minds to join the High Engineers. For Shea, this is her only chance to secure a future and protect her family. But the Enrollment isn’t just a test of intelligence; it’s a test of health, and any imperfection will be immediately detected, threatening her life and her family’s standing in the Whaledome. As Shea trains for the Enrollment, she must hide her blindness and outsmart a brutal system built on purity and control. But as the trials progress, she uncovers the terrifying truth—the Enrollment is not about saving humanity; it’s about maintaining a fragile power structure. The High Engineers are more interested in control than survival. With everything on the line, Shea must decide whether to conform, becoming the perfect candidate to secure her place, or risk everything to expose the truth about the Whaledome’s corruption. As she faces the final tests, she wonders: can perfection truly save humanity, or will it destroy them all? And what lies beyond the Whaledome—does any hope for survival exist outside its walls?

Note: The mc is no hero. In a world where the ground was covered by poisonous fog, cities were built magically upon each other creating a high structure that pierced the sky, but the altitude you live in determines power, the strong live above, emotionless and untouchable. The weak remain below, fragile and consumed by fear. And in the depths, the Fog rises—poisonous, filled with monsters, and turning those it touches into mindless beasts. At the pinnacle of the city, he was one of the Three Rulers. A man who shaped laws to serve his power, making survival even more brutal for those beneath him. He believed the weak were nothing more than insects, unworthy of mercy. But one of his fellow rulers, an old woman with a mysterious ability, defied him. She warned him not to pass his latest law. He ignored her. So she poisoned him—and with a curse, forced him to reincarnate at the very bottom. Now, trapped in the body of a weak, rebellious boy in the lowest floor, he is forced to endure the suffering he once ignored. The Fog creeps closer, the beasts lurk in the shadows, and the people struggle to climb higher before they are consumed. But even in this wretched state, his ambition remains. To ascend again, he must become a Fog Diver, one of the few brave—or desperate—souls who dive into the Fog to hunt its horrors and earn the right to climb. The city has only one rule: Defeat those above you, take their rank, and rise. Lose, and you fall. He will rise. He will reclaim his throne. But as he fights, as he climbs, and as he experiences emotions for the first time, a question lingers in his mind. Was the old woman right? No. It doesn’t matter. Because in this world, only the strongest survive. And he refuses to be weak at all cost.

Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.

Detailed power structure -- The power structure and everything related will be detailed. The power structure might seem generic at the start but it will show its uniqueness later on in the story. 4.

For centuries, the war between humans and elves raged, leaving only ruins and whispers of a forgotten kingdom.

As dark forces stir and ancient enemies resurface, Lyra must uncover the truth behind her bloodline before it’s too late. Because magic is rising once more, and the war that was thought to be over... Is only just beginning.

In a modern world where the collapse of societal structures has birthed a brutal, survival-of-the-fittest culture, one man stands apart—a lone warrior molded by tragedy and relentless training. Darius Kane, trained since childhood by his enigmatic martial arts master uncle, is a man defined by his calm ruthlessness and single-minded determination. With scarce resources and a city in decay, violence is the currency of power, and every alleyway hides danger. Haunted by betrayal, driven by revenge, and yearning for redemption, Darius fights not only to survive but to find meaning in a world that has lost its soul. As hand-to-hand combat and knife fights become the norm and guns are a rarity, his exceptional skills and detached persona mark him as both a hero and a harbinger of a darker destiny. Through a slow, introspective journey—a hero’s path laden with tragedy and moral quandaries—Darius Kane will challenge the very foundations of a corrupted society and confront the demons of his past in a quest for inner transformation. In this tale of urban mystery, relentless thriller, and unexpected romance, loyalty is scarce, trust is a luxury, and every confrontation might be the last. Prepare to step into a world where survival demands sacrifice, and redemption is never easily earned.

Earthquakes are unheard of on the Eastern Coast of the United States.. That was, until, "Dragon's Night", an event that shook the world to its core, releasing creatures upon the world that humans believed were only myths. Orcs, Fae, and even Dragons can be found deep within the "Dungeons", mysterious underground structures that can be found throughout the world. Those who subjugate these structures and capture the relics and riches within and garner fame are called "Adventurers", Government-sanctioned Explorers. Among them lie a special designation only meant for those with extraordinary abilities that far surpass the status quo, the "Black Cards". Granting them special access to missions that ordinary adventurers wouldn't be able to handle.
