Aquila Rift

“Fate is a prison. I will shatter it.” Kaz was never meant to be special. Born in a world where the Rifts consume everything, he was supposed to live and die as an ordinary Riftborn—just another name lost to chaos. But when a forgotten power awakens within him, Kaz finds himself caught between the warring forces of fate, chaos, and something far more sinister. Now hunted by clans that once ignored him, watched by a secret organization, and forced to fight against the very laws of the world—Kaz must decide. Will he accept the fate forced upon him? Or will he defy it? As he steps deeper into the world of the Rift, one thing becomes clear—the chains of fate were never meant to hold him.

When I (Cas, formerly of Earth) transmigrated into this hellscape, I expected magic kung fu and cool sword fights. Instead, I got: Dimensional rifts vomiting out soul-eating squirrels and glaciers that scream. A cultivation system that ranked me “Worse Than Trash Tier.” (Thanks, anonymous ancestor!) The Otherworldly Tourist System, a deranged travel agency that rewards me for “sightseeing” in eldritch hellscapes. (“Take a selfie with that sleeping Lava Worm! 500 TP!”) My vacation package includes: ✔️ Tourist Points to buy god-tier gear (Divine Sunscreen: “Don’t melt, Host!”). ✔️ Gacha spins. (Got a new technique! And a lot of trauma!) ✔️ Sarcastic commentary as I outrun cosmic horrors. (“Host’s survival rate: 2%. Upsell suggestion: Premium Burial Plot™?”) Turns out, Earth’s monsters are just the previews. The System’s hiding cosmic wars, godly realms, and a tiny apocalypse brewing. But who needs answers when you’ve got a five-star review to leave for a screaming glacier? Cultivation. Tourism. Survival. Let’s hope I’m good at two of those.

In the heart of an untouched African continent, where the sun-kissed landscapes cradle ancient secrets, two rival nations, Haben and Abaddon, exist hidden in plain sight. Once united under the protection of the Ancestral Beings, a powerful order gifted with the mastery of nature’s elements, peace reigned supreme. But that harmony was shattered by the ambition of Akuji Musinga, the fifth Ancestral Being, whose insatiable thirst for power led him down a dark path. Consumed by the seed of immorality, Akuji turned against his kin, believing he was destined to rule Haben alone. As Akuji forged a new nation in Abaddon, a rift tore through the Hidden Civilization. The remaining Ancestral Beings desperately fought to bring their brother back to reason; however, their efforts were in vain. The Ancestral War erupted, a cataclysmic clash that left scars on both kingdoms and echoed through time. Now, generations later, the rivalry between Haben and Abaddon simmers beneath a fragile surface. Amidst whispers of an impending war fueled by ancient grudges and unyielding pride, a young hero emerges from the ashes of history. With the fate of both nations hanging in the balance, this unlikely champion must rediscover the lost legacy of the Ancestral Beings and unlock their powers once more. As secrets unravel and alliances are tested, will they be able to bridge the divide between Haben and Abaddon? Or will Akuji's dark legacy consume them all? Embark on a thrilling journey through mystic landscapes and ancestral lore in "Ancestral Stones: Tales of the Hidden Civilization," where destiny is forged by courage and unity can break even the strongest curses.

In a world that used to be peaceful, the sky fades to black and the Rift opens up beyond an undiscovered world. Out of this chasm, Shadows are born—forms of the void, in search of vessels to give them strength. For many, this is a curse. But for Liam Vale, it’s his only shot at survival. When Liam is bullied, abandoned, and powerless, a Shadow named Noctis gives him an offer: a pact that will make him more powerful than he could ever imagine in exchange for becoming its vessel. Liam’s life is changed for better and worse, as he fights enemies, learns of new supernatural abilities, and begins to feel the weight of his growing powers. But with each new victory he wins, Liam discovers that the world itself is coming undone and the true nature of Shadows harbors a horrific secret that could destroy it all. Their bond deepens when Liam gets stronger, and Noctis becomes whole, but the price of power is seen. As the Rift threatens to consume the world, everything Liam holds dear hangs in the balance. Ultimately, he must sacrifice everything to save the world, but at what price? And as he does, he must pay the price of resetting things — where everything he fought for is gone, and the world starts over — and the cycle behind it all continues. Will Liam save the world, or be its last doom?

She turned cold because she believed her sister died because of her, and it caused a rift between her and her parents. They made her feel that way for years. Everybody turned against her and hated her. This caused her to harden and only focus on work, so when she met a calm and loving man, she married him. She thought, peace at last, but she was wrong. Her husband turned out to be a psychopath who cheated on her with her staff, framed her for art forgery which made her a prisoner, stole her company and also sent her to a psychiatric hospital, claiming that she's unstable. This marred her even more and at this point, she had no one to save her. It was over. For the first time, she let the tears she had been holding in for years freely fall. Imagine her shock when a billionaire she met days ago for the first time during her art exhibition walked in and offered her freedom in exchange for working in his company. She took it with open arms and began to seek revenge on her ex husband by herself. Soon this billionaire promised to hand everything her husband stole back to her. She became his top priority and he was all over her like a lost puppy, even though he was richer. He didn't even bother hiding how much he wanted her. He was so possessive of her it confused her too because she couldn't understand why someone would care for someone as bitchy and hopeless as she was. Turns out the billionaire had secrets of his own. He wasn't there to care for her. He was there to seek revenge due to bad blood with her ex-husband. Too bad she got caught up in the mix. ~~~~~~~ "I know you were framed. I never believed your husband for once and since your cute little mouth is still running, you're clearly stable.” “Exactly! You have no idea how hard I've tried to convince– don't call my mouth little and cute again.” I glared at him and caught his amused smile as a response on time before it disappeared. “I'm sorry, I'll try not to, tigress. I want to help you get your revenge. Don't you want your husband to come crawling back with everything he stole from you?” My eyes narrowed at him suspiciously. "What do you want in return? What do you want from me?” “You. I want you.” He dropped the bombshell and I stilled, unblinking and unmoving. “You want me? But I'm married.” I replied back but he didn't so much as twitch. “I don't care. A little husband doesn't scare me.” WSA 2025 ~ Billionaire Romance Grumpy X Sunshine

Synopsis - "Eternal Dungeon" The world changed when dungeons first appeared on Earth. Monsters, artifacts, and a new power system overhauled civilization. The Hunters, humans endowed with the system to fight in dungeons, became the pillars of the new civilization. However, not everyone was bound to the system. Reynard Voss was an ordinary man-or so everyone thought. With no Hunter status, no system, and no special abilities, he was considered nothing more than a weakling in this new era. But everything changed when he fell into a dungeon that had never been discovered before. There, he found something that shouldn't exist. A legacy from the world before Hunter's civilization. True Cultivation. Unlike the system the modern world provided, this power paved its own way. It was not limited by levels, not controlled by numbers, and most importantly it could not be recorded by the Hunter system. In a world where one's strength was determined by numbers and statistics monitored by the global system, Reynard became an undetectable existence-one who stood outside the laws of this world. However, the power he inherited did not come without a price. Monsters lurking in the darkness began to stir. The Hunter Organization sees it as an anomaly that must be erased. And the entity that has been slumbering in the depths of the dungeon now sets its gaze on her. As the established world begins to shake, Reynard Voss must choose: go with the flow of modern civilization, or destroy all that has been and create his own path?

When the rift between dimensions tore open, the world as humanity once knew it crumbled in an instant. Monsters from other realms flooded the Earth, turning civilization into a battlefield. There was nowhere to hide—fight or die, that was the only choice. However, the world did not allow humanity to be wiped out so easily. At the age of 18, every individual was granted the chance to awaken a special ability. From elemental manipulation to body enhancement, from weapon manifestation to absolute control over the laws of reality—every possibility became reality. Ronan Raylinde, a young man thrown into this world, had no powerful lineage or prestigious background. He had only one thing—an awareness of his fate. And in the midst of his struggle, something extraordinary happened— [System Activated] [Killed a 2-Star Soul Beast – +100 Skill Points] [Killed a 3-Star Soul Beast – +300 Skill Points] This system was no ordinary gift. It wasn’t just a blessing—it was a tool for domination. With each battle, his power grew exponentially: [Skill Fire Fist has evolved into Starflame Meteor] [Skill Shadow Walk has transformed into Shadow Manifestation] [Skill ??? has been unlocked] In a world where strength determined everything, Ronan Raylinde had no time for naivety. No one would show him mercy—and he had no intention of showing any either.

Across the vast convolution of worlds, divine beings rule as absolute sovereigns—each god assigned dominion over a singular realm. Skirmishes are inevitable, whether for power, amusement, or sheer pettiness. One such battle, between Nexus, the God of Trickery, and an aging, senile deity, resulted in an anomaly… A soul misplaced. Elliot, an ordinary man, was never meant for Ul’Tra-el. But fate, or perhaps a cosmic prank, had other plans. Unlike other worlds, Ul’Tra-el is an aberration—one that developed a voice. A voice that diverged from the natural order. A voice that changed everything. Its foundation cracked, leaking dimensions into one another. Rifts tore open like festering wounds, vomiting forth unspeakable horrors—monsters not meant to exist. But the world did not sit idly by. In response—perhaps an act of self-preservation—the world gifted its inhabitants power. Talents awakened, granting people extraordinary abilities. And for every rift sealed, the Voice of Ul rewarded them generously. Survival was simple: fight, grow stronger, and close the rifts… or die trying. In this ruthless, blood-soaked reality, Northern—a white-haired boy burdened by his past life—was reincarnated. But unlike the chosen heroes, he awakened as a talentless nobody. No power. No strength. No future. And when death loomed over him—when despair clawed at his soul and the cold grip of the failure threatened to take him— A Voice responded: [System Notice] [Your Soul cannot take a form.] [Searching for a Unique Pattern Ability…] [Searching…] [Search Found.] [A Unique System Ability has been detected.] [You Can Copy And Evolve Talents] ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.

[This story will be posted on Royal Road As Well under the username: fastwan16]For 15 years, a mysterious voice told Ash two things 'Get stronger' and 'Fight.' Not the best advice, but when you're stuck in a monster-infested limbo, you take what you can get. Then, a god shows up, opens a rift, and throws Ash (monsters included) onto Earth. There, he meets his doppelganger, Thorne, who immediately hates him. Why? Thorne thinks Ash wants to steal his hard-earned social status. Yeah, as if Ash cares about high school politics while eldritch horrors are ransacking the mall. Ash’s plan is simple: punch monsters, grab a burger, and enjoy his new life. If Thorne wants a rivalry, he'll have to get in line—right behind the monster tearing up Main Street

Since the opening of the Dungeon Rifts-- also called D.Rifts or Drift Dimensions, the world has changed. It's become more militaristic and violent-- unpredictable, even.
