In a world where time is but a cruel plaything, Kurayyami Akuma, a 16-year-old boy, finds himself ensnared in a nightmarish loop of death and rebirth. What begins as an ordinary school day spirals into terror as he and his classmates stumble into a seemingly abandoned building, only to be greeted by a sinister group of killers led by a mysterious figure known only as the Leader. Each death he suffers unlocks memories of the past and hints at a chilling connection to the very horrors he faces. Initially timid and slender, Kurayyami’s transformation begins with the knowledge that each demise grants him an opportunity to rewrite fate. As he dies and resurrects, he dedicates himself to intense training, honing his body into a formidable weapon. Through martial arts such as Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Ninjutsu, he crafts himself into a ruthless, cunning survivor—one who blends shadows with steel. Armed with an arsenal of weaponry, including guns, knives, grenades, and smoke bombs, Kurayyami dons an all-black cloak that symbolizes both his struggle and resolve. His eyes are enhanced with night and thermal vision contact lenses, allowing him to perceive threats lurking in the dark and hidden dangers that could end his life. As he navigates this cycle of horror, he adopts the persona of the Akuma, the demon—his name a harbinger of vengeance against those who threaten his existence and the lives of his loved ones. But it’s not just the killers he faces. In every loop, the Leader seems to know him, as if their fates are inexplicably intertwined. With each new encounter, Kurayyami learns more about his adversaries, their motivations, and the twisted games they play. He becomes a keen observer of human nature, calculating the moves of both friend and foe, all while wrestling with his growing darkness. As the loops progress, Kurayyami is faced with moral dilemmas and heart-wrenching choices. Will he continue to let fear dictate his actions, or will he embrace the ruthless persona he’s cultivated? With his family’s safety hanging in the balance, he must confront the chilling reality that the true enemy may not be the killers but the fate that binds him. In "Loopbreaker: Akuma's Ascension," the lines between hunter and hunted blur as Kurayyami embarks on a harrowing journey filled with bloodshed, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of freedom. Will he break the cycle of despair, or will he succumb to the darkness that beckons him? In a world ruled by fear, survival is only the beginning; true ascension demands a price.

Ivan, once an ordinary student with a craving for instant ramen and procrastination, found himself reborn (of sorts) in a world ripped straight out of a fantasy novel. The good news? He could summon anything from his old world—a cozy armchair, a life-saving bottle of ketchup, or even a cute top hat (because why not?). his powers are hilariously unbalanced, and his character sheet looked like a blank page ripped from a forgotten notebook. Strength? Zero. Dexterity? Zero. Stamina? But hey, at least he wasn't useless. Ivan could, in theory, summon weapons of mass destruction. The real challenge wasn't raining down fire and rocket-propelled grenades (though that was an option); it was surviving in a world filled with orcs, mages, and creatures with names you couldn't pronounce—all while his body resembled that of a slightly less-scrawny person.

[Audience Rating: 18+] *** "What would you do if, as a remarkably-skilled soldier, you were inexplicably transported as an ordinary, talentless human to a world where everyone—including kids as young as four, possess spectacular magical abilities?" How would you react to such a disheartening situation filled with severe melancholic predicaments? This, is the story of Maxmillan, a seasoned veteran soldier from Earth who transmigrated to another world where literally everyone could perceive and utilize an energy called Astra Mystralis, a boundless mystical energy that when mastered, can cause countless manifestations of phenomenal and fantastical magical effects! Oppressed, inhumanely abused, and treated cruelly, Maxmillan surrenders to his tragic fate as an ordinary, completely useless person in a world where Astra Mystralis serves as the fundamental cornerstone of their reality. But, Maxmillan's fate would change when he becomes the host of the Supreme Battle-Technology System; a powerful, sentient futuristic interface that would limitlessly bestow him with destructively potent and immensely functional, basic to supreme, transcendent, and sterling super-ranked weapons, as well as countless tons of incredible and stupendously advanced, superior-grade equipments, instruments, tools, machineries, apparatuses, and gears from tens of thousands of centuries in the future! So, equipped with potent futuristic items like Multiple-Barrel Neutron Burst Emission Gun, Strength-Amplifying Exo-Mechanical Arms, Wide-Area Plasmic and Electric Arc Grenades, Outer-Space Fast-Flight Suit, Lightning Annihilator Armor, Turbo-Thruster Propelled Speedcycle, and many more—which are some of the massive numbers of items he obtained after completing really arduous and immensely taxing, time-limited missions, quests, and tasks, Maxmillan gradually gains the means to defend himself against overpowering hordes and assemblies of vicious, greedy, and malevolent Astra Mystralis users who relentlessly pursued him because of his astounding otherworldly ability—to mysteriously and endlessly materialize different types of absolutely rare weapons, devices, and equipment, as well as summon astounding ground and air-transportation means, making him a strange and incomprehensible anomaly in their world. Coupled with numerous bionic upgrades, gene-constitution alterations, biological augmentations, advanced cybernetical fortifications, serum-based transformations, chemical super-boosts, and a massive plethora of neural enhancements that will bestow him with myriad superhuman abilities—such as energy-beam vision, gale-force breath, extreme-hypersonic to near-light-speed flight, matter manipulation, annihilation-beam discharge, tiny to vast-scale lightning explosion creation, and hundreds more, watch how Maxmillan—now a super-powered, metahuman Cyborg warrior, will bravely and fearlessly fight his way through teeming large numbers of moderately powered to astronomically powerful and savage, phenomenal god-like users of Astra Mystralis to ascend to a position of supreme fame, unmatched honor, and dazzling, incomparable glory! *** Note: This narrative unfolds as a distinctive tale seamlessly combining elements of intense climactic actions, epic magical summoning skills, pets collection and training, magical beasts exomechanical amplification, futuristic marvels, a unique Level-Up System, thrilling dangerous adventures and heartwarming family moments. And yes, it has Harem. But it's not your usual women-chasing (story-ruining) MC. This is totally different, as he's a goal-focused, plot-driven one. Same as the FMCs who are super-strong, indomitable, and impressively ambitious. Read to see for yourself. Thanks!

"Kids, what kind of person is your dad?" In a certain class, a teacher was giving a lesson to the children, with the theme being "My Dad." Outside the window, there were a large number of photography tools set up, clearly for a live broadcast. "My dad is a firefighter." "My dad is a boss. There are several dozen employees in his company." "My dad is a car mechanic. He can fix any car." The children eagerly answered one by one, but when it came to Xia Zixin, things were a bit different. "My dad is a genius in weapons. He can make any kind of gun and ammunition!!" Everyone was taken aback, but they didn't take it seriously. "I'm serious!" With that, Xia Zixin reached into her bag and pulled out a shiny Desert Eagle, placing it on the desk. Everyone was stunned. Xia Zixin smiled proudly. "Do you want to see more? I have got hand grenades, smoke bombs, and tear gas in my backpack." The people present were dumbfounded. Instantly, the entire internet began searching for Xia Zixin's dad...

Lucas Wheaton was your average joe. He worked as a Business Analyst for a regular company, being paid a modest sum. He had two cats and lived in downtown Toronto in a cheap studio apartment.

坦克比刀剑更有力。。。 Some smart person once said that “the pen is mightier than the sword.” In a roundabout sort of way, they were definitely right. But you know what else is mightier than the sword? And in a much less roundabout way? That’s right: the tank. Yes. The tank. Specifically, the good ol’ M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank. 70 tons of concentrated American-made death. One 120mm smoothbore gun. A 50 caliber heavy machine gun complimented by a pair of M240 LMGs. Hell, it can even shoot missiles or grenades if you want it to! Basically, throw one of these bad boys into the middle of a medieval fantasy world where most people are still hacking away at each other with swords, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for success. I sure hope you're excited. 'Cuz that's exactly what we're going to do.

And guess what just like Other MC I have my mana heart which is the source of Mana Crippled by my Father who is a King and was exiled into a remote place.

As I gave up and thinking about Alchemy , I received as a System which functions quite well. What!! My mana heart is Recovered. And Top of that I can extract Mana from dying creatures. I gain levels as I kill!!! Simply Wowww!!!!!! As I checked the inventory I was like WTF!!!! Grenades , Land mines and Missiles that too in millions in number and the number grows . I can Copy one talent as long as I kill the Creature and What's more If I copy one or more same talent they can fuse. This system is surely overpowered and pretty sure It has a bug.

“If people suddenly leave me or give up on me with or without any reasons, it's their loss, not mine..” He vowed to get stronger and bolder which is true with the help of this mysterious place called Ark. This world messed up big time. About thousands of years ago, monsters were born. They came from the ground, the sky, and the ocean. They made a sudden attack on the humans and we were almost wiped out. The high weapons we had developed over thousands of years were useless. These guys had crazy tough skin and it took dozens of bullets to bring one down. People in this world were barely able to keep their city from falling to complete disaster by mobilizing a bunch of soldiers but it didn’t end there. As time passed on, a huge portal appeared within the city. The portal got bigger and bigger until one day a stream of monsters started spilling out of it. We tried everything. Shot into it, threw grenades into it… but it didn’t stop them. Luckily miracle happens some countries who survive the invasion happen to help. So, those who survive the calamity were saved by them.

Ironically, an Angel was supposed to be a sign of hope and purity, not brutal massacre and destruction. It starts with a feeble soul being chosen by two shady entities who speak nonsense and then brought to the body of woman with a weird name. Lacking any proper knowledge and common sense of the new world, it's the time to learn how to do spells and formation! People deem magic as a superstition of false input to the human brain, but here? Magic is a scientific phenomenon that was made into reality by one of the noble pantheons, giving the rebels of fate a chance to send a gigantic middle-finger sharp clear to the sky. Using the Mana Sea within one's body, they can develop a path to glory and immortality to usurp the throne we call life. Expand the miniature realm of your mana depository to research Technique's Core, Magic Virus Factory, Golden Orb, and many other powerful discoveries within hidden realms with great secrets to uncover! But magic alone is not enough, you need to gather allies, develop your own blade, and enrich your dopamine in the face of danger. So rejoice, as the only way to survive this heinous world is to adapt to the spontaneous Calamity and the future danger for thee who's wise in the way of destruction. To survive this ride, this heaven, this hell, this neverending vagabond— This Anamnesis. — The one of a kind Second-Person Pov, ready to give you a seat to an action packed and emotional rollercoaster. A brand new experience, to a colorful memory. Become Long Leggy, and venture the broken world with no clear information given, with some slick reference and comedy thrown along the way.

Created and born in a top secret government research facilities, trained and modified in a harsh military environment. She is a one of the Government Elite A1A SHS, a team that embarks mission beyond human comprehension, penetrating foreign soil to gain intelligence, destroying their enemies' last line of defense and dealing with weapons unknown to the world. She is # 13, unfeeling and designed to kill with a superhuman intelligence and a chameleon like adaptability. That night, A1A SHS were sent on a mission, and according to the intelligence they received, they were assigned to infiltrate the enemies' territory to obtain a certain microchip. This microchip was designed to contain a virtual armory set that can be implanted in human skin. This can help the host to gain the upper hand in battle. However, upon invading the facility, a mishap happened. Three members of the group were killed only # 13 and # 19 remained in the center of the research facility, heavily wounded and exhausted. "19, we are heavily surrounded and I got the chip with me. 7, 10 and 16 are down, and there's no way I'm gonna hand it back to them" said 13. She swallowed the chip and continued to fire against the opposite squads together with #19. Unfortunately they were shot by an RPG -17 type grenade launcher. "13! Watch out!!!"-------BOOMMM!!!!!!! -------- pain....pain......darkness..... Slowly opening her eyes, white ceiling and a very handsome boy is sleeping beside her, holding her hand. Checking her hands, she immediately noticed that they are smooth and pearl white, gone are the callouses that surrounded her fingers. She slowly touched her hair, how come it is long? Shifting to the side of the bed was a mirror and there she saw a reflection of a face beyond beauty and can over-turn the world------- "Who am I?"

Year 20XX, a large explosion devastated the city of New York. The explosion, although was huge —was vastly weak compared to a grenade explosion, as if there was no heat nor force exerted. The buildings were completely intact, however there are no survivors, the city were suddenly crawling with vicious creatures now identified as "Animus", beasts with greater strength to handle any of humanity's weapons of that time. One by one, country by country, until today— the silent explosions continuously appears to bring dread to humanity. Years of work after the initial explosion, researchers were able to detect fluctuations before the explosions, buying enough time for people to evacuate. But that doesn't mean that it will help humanity in reclaiming their cities, they would only continue to fall apart from there. However, this breakthrough is what allowed research to go further than just observing. Smaller explosions that were detected, was observed to only spawn weaker variants of Animus, a category known as Lesser Animus. Animus that are smaller and weaker, yet durable nonetheless. Soldiers were dispatched in order to retrieve Animus carcasses to be studied. By two more years, humanity was able to find out the means to make a weapon against their now common enemy. A weapon capable of using Anima, an energy used by Animus. However the only ones that can wield it are the creatures that can produce Anima from their body which are the Animus themselves. Although humanity was ready to give up on their fate, by one stroke of luck their evolution led to be the one they need the most. A rare number of people with the capability to absorb and utilize Anima energy appeared, thus the start of the battle for reclaiming. However, while female combatants can control their Anima energy, the male combatants can hardly control their own, resulting in their own transformation into an Animus themselves. Thus it was banned for men to use any Anima equipments, only to be instated as non-combatant officers. These individuals are titled "Reapers" for their ability to produce Anima. An organization was formed in order to manage the Reapers and to dispatch them as humanity's finest weapon against the Animus. Fifty years after the initial explosion, the Anti-Animus "Soul Retrievers"— branch in Quezon City, Manila, a man was enlisted as part of the 4th Division of Reapers. A rare individual which is in between normal human and a Reaper, a man with a weaker Anima energy, yet is capable of wielding it freely as much as others. A small piece that will undoubtedly play a part in the largest project of Humanity: the reclamation of safety and to claim victory against the Animus.

They shared jokes and laughter like the happy family that they were. Suddenly, the first car in the line of five stopped abruptly. It was clear that something was amiss. Before they knew what was happening, the first car exploded into a million pieces, courtesy of a grenade. The other cars tried to reverse but the last car also exploded. In under a minute, they were surrounded by men who were dressed completely in black clothes and red masks. The security men hurriedly called for backup. Joel was panicking. His mother hugged him tightly, also terrified. "Joel, stay here with your mother," Thomas said, pulling out a gun. In just few minutes, all the bodyguards lay dead on the floor. A black limo halted in front of them. The men welcomed the woman as she alighted gracefully, dressed in a long black fishtail dress. She had an expressionless face on. Joel looked at the woman as she ordered the men to drag his parents out of he car. He hugged his mum tighter. The men pulled his mum by her hair and he fought to get his mum back but shook in fear as a gunshot was heard. His father lay dead in a pool of his own blood. His mum screamed and he stood frozen. He looked up to see the woman with a gun. She killed his father! "Hi Margret. Long time no see," the woman said with a smirk. "How dare you Quinn?!" Margret yelled as she tried freeing herself from the men." "My regards to your husband," Quinn said before shooting. Joel ran and hugged his mother's lifeless body in tears. Quinn walked up to him. "Hello Joel. I'm Quinn. Try not to hate me too much. You just be a good boy and take care of my daughter in the future. That is my wish for sparing you tonight," Quinn said before ruffling his hair and walking away. Joel glared at her. His body trembled with anger as he watched her walk away with a smile on her face...

[TAKE A ShiT TO UNLOCK A NEW REWARD!] A gaudy voice declared outta nowhere. "What is this now?" This digital thing appeared in front of my eyes as I was eating nachos, watching Breaking of the Beds. My favorite porn movie, just as this Walter dude told this Jesse chick they need to sell their bodies for money. [Take. A ShIT. TO UNLOCK. A NEW REWARD!] The message echoed again, its digital voice tinged with what sounded suspiciously like impatience. "...Is this a prank?" I asked myself out loud like a fucking idiot. As if the answer wasn't obvious enough. "Oh, right. Nobody cares enough about me to make a prank like this." I realized. "So, I've finally gone insane. Oh well, I live alone so I don't gotta really worry about anyone but myself..."  Let me introduce myself. I'm Micheal Micheals, the epitome of a loser. My parents couldn't even be bothered to think of a unique name for me. If I were in a room with four people and a grenade was thrown in, not only would no one dive on it to save me, but they'd probably shove me towards it instead. The only person who wouldn't is, well, me. But given the spectacular failure that is my life, I'm starting to question even that. All my life, I've been the textbook definition of a loser. Friends? They ran for the hills the second they met me. Teachers? Wrote me off from day one. Bosses? Probably daydream about firing me out of a cannon. A girlfriend? That's a good one. My first crush? She stomped on my heart like it was part of her morning workout routine. My parents? They threw in the towel and disowned me. Even my bully had a breakdown the first time he saw me, sobbing that I was too hideous to gaze upon as he pummeled me. I mean, I don't think I'm the Elephant Man or anything, but I guess being Micheal Micheals comes with its own set of cursed rules. Victory? Not even in my dreams. They all morph into nightmares, and every night is a special screening of 'Micheal's Greatest Fears' with a side of sleep paralysis. Life for me has been like constantly rolling a 1 on luck or something. A living, breathing failure, just using up oxygen until I expire. The universe seems to have it out for me. I once thought about ending it all just to give the world a break, but even that seemed like too much effort.

Born in a futuristic world where everything is nearly possible through ultra-high, space-age technology, Maxwell Thorne, a tremendously-skilled and versatile, 17-year old half-human, half-vampire, will journey to one of the numerous universes that is parallel to the one that he inhabits. Aim? To extract exceedingly large amounts of a special mineral that will ensure the continuity and development of his home world, Earth. And only he could go alone since he had a unique and advanced physiology to be able to quickly adapt and survive in there. But would he be able to actually survive in there? In a world where arrogant and haughty cultivators of Cosmic Qi, Soul Qi, Body Qi, etc, are innumerous like the sands in the desert? However, armed with many kinds of Hi-Tech futuristic equipments such as: Exoskeketal Armors, Reactor-Powered Suits, Jet Bikes, Gravity-Defying Automobiles, and then Weapons such as: Laser Swords, Disintegration Ray Rifles, Electron Beam Pistols, Plasma Grenade Launchers and many more, he might just be able to survive in there. While his body which contains two extremely powerful energies that are simply infinite, Maxwell would use them to limitlessly power the multi-trillion dollar Bionic Implants in his body to be able to contend with the cultivation experts in the parallel world he goes to for mineral extraction. *** So the cultivators in this world can punch massive holes in mountains and sunder entire valleys with their bare fists and legs? He can also do the same. They can fly at insane speeds and breathe in space? He can also pull off that amazing feat. They can cultivate any type of Qi to grow stronger, faster and more powerful? He doesn't need to cultivate anything to grow stronger, faster and more powerful. He is naturally super-strong, super-fast, and astronomically powerful. And these are due to the two boundless energies pulsating within him. Therefore, with the unlimited and vastly powerful energies that are present in his body which he would use to endlessly power the Bionic Implants in his body to augment his body's abilities, he is on his way to becoming a 'God' in this universe full of cultivators. Then due to the extreme physiological alteration of his body by one of the two unfathomably powerful energies, endowing him with astonishing superhuman powers like: Ability to shoot wide and focused, continuous beams of electricity from his eyes and hands, or as concentrated blasts from his entire body in all directions to cancel out hundreds or thousands of targets; Ability to unleash massive, ravaging streams of fire possessing great heat which would match that of the planet core or sun's core to melt away or vaporize obstacles; Ability to unceasingly generate atomic bomb-level and nuclear bomb-level explosions to totally ruin or devastate entire cities or continents; Ability to fly in the air or run on feet at sub-sonic, supersonic, hypersonic, light and supra-light speeds to chase after his enemies and slay them, etc, he is very much on his way to becoming someone who would be fearsomely powerful and dreadful than the so-called 'Gods' or 'Deities' in this cultivators' universe. But, would he be able to grow to this infinitely powerful level in the vast world of scheming, greedy, jealous and absolutely wicked cultivators? Would he be able to successfully take a greatly sufficient quantity of the special mineral to Earth for his planet continued sustenance? *** To know more, then journey with our amazing hybrid MC, Maxwell Thorne, on his adventurous exploration of a parallel universe for a unique mineral that will prevent his world, Earth, from becoming completely desolate and then implode. And while at it, he will try to defeat or crush every form of cultivator that will appear in his path and then eventually proclaim himself as the 'Absolute Strongest' in their world, leaving an unmatched legend behind.

Some nightmares do not halt, they keep replaying till you lose your sanity. I have no idea what else I'm gonna do at this juncture of my life. Is my life even mine? I can't feel it is. What am I gonna do to be free? Free as a bird from this shackle? I am Hailey Brown, I reside in Chicago. I lay on a bare fluffy floor warping my fragile legs and twitching like a leaf. My tummy was agonizing badly and I could feel my intestines getting devoured as if a clump of rats were gnawing them. I let out an audible sigh. It's not the first time I have been in extreme distress. My eyes bulged looking somber, my lips, parched. I heard the bars of the cell I was in, clattering. It was the jail guard. He has arrived again to invite me to go work on the field as well as with the inmates. The clattering slammed my ears and I attempted to rise to my feet I felt so dizzy that my head commenced spinning, but I still attempted to waddle frightened I was going to get whacked or dragged out forcefully. The guards in the jail are quite brutal like soldiers, a few of them have mistreated me a few times hence, the awful bruises and spots on my arms and legs. I was almost arriving at the bars and I weakly plopped to the floor conk out. Hours hastily departed. Munroe Jackson, my husband, he is running for governor. He relaxed on the bottom of his bed in only a pair of shorts. His hairy puffy chest was disclosed and his hips were as well. Samantha, my half-sister hopped on the bed in only a bra and a pant. She crawled towards Munroe giggling noisily and wrapping her smooth arms around his chest like an anaconda grasping its prey. Munroe's phone beeped noisily and he tugged it from his pants on the bed. He peeked at the screen and he saw it was one of his minions dialing and he answered the call. "What news do you have for me?" Munroe sniffed. "it is done boss, she's now six feet under." replied, the jail guard. Munroe had disbursed to a few guards in prison to have me killed. He wanted me gone so he can successfully be elected governor. Eight months after I gave birth to our daughter, Bella, I unearthed that he runs an illegal drug trafficking business and is a member of a syndicate. Not only that, he smuggles arms and grenades out of the country. Munroe comprehended I won't take that sitting down and he had me framed for possessing drugs. I had no evidence to back me in court and though I kept blurting to the judge and members of the courtroom, that Munroe is a drug lord, no one gave attention to my voice and my sentence was heightened accused of slander. The jail guards had brought me to a forest at midnight wrapped in a sack and they threw my body inside a hole which they dug and buried me alive.
