"What will you do if life suddenly offers you a second chance? When your heart freezes in fear and your hands tremble with helplessness... What will you choose? To give up or to fight? Welcome to a world where magic is not a privilege but a weapon wielded by the strongest. Here, there is no room for mistakes, and the price of failure is... Death." "After the anomaly on the Sun, the world changed forever. People began to be born with a mysterious organ — The Mana Core—that could grant extraordinary abilities. However, not everyone could awaken this power. Those who did became known as 'Celestials' — guardians of humanity standing on the border between the human world and the nightmare spilling from the mystical Gates." "Park Hyun Woo, an ordinary young boy from Seoul, South Korea has been forced to care for his younger sister after losing their parents, working tirelessly day and night. One day, he decides to change his fate and take the test to awaken his Mana Core. But his results are far from ideal: He becomes one of the weakest Celestial (Hunter), an E-rank holder. Yet destiny has something much greater in store for him." "Caught in an ambush within the Gates, Hyun Woo becomes the sole survivor of his group. Upon awakening, he discovers he has gained a unique ability — a System that transforms his life into something akin to a game. Now, a path of strength, struggle, and mysteries lies ahead, leading him to uncover not only the secrets of his past but also the true nature of magic itself." "Can Park Hyun Woo, starting from the very bottom, rise to the top? What price will he have to pay for the power to change the world? And who — or what — is behind the System that now controls his life?"

The Storm Calling Buddha/ Alternate Title: The Cult of Immortality A world set on the basis of 'might makes right'. A world where clear lines were drawn between mortals and immortals, the lower and the higher. A world where cultivation was real, where going against the heavens was considered the only meaningful way to live. That was the world that Luke Griffiths, or rather Mo Yangling found himself in now. How would he, a devout Buddhist and avid reader of Wuxia novels fare in such a world? And was it really going to be the exact same as the many stories he had read in the past? That only time could tell... ___________________________________________ Also, another good tag for this that I couldn't find would be 'Strong to Stronger MC' Just felt the need to add this here.

Jim was an undeniably ordinary boy. He was neither athletic nor particularly skilled at anything, and while he wasn't ugly, he certainly wasn't stunning either. In every conceivable way, he was unremarkable. Yet, he embraced this reality without hesitation; he was entirely comfortable in his skin. Indifference defined his attitude toward the world around him, including his existence. The popularity and social status dynamics held no sway over him; he didn’t care. His primary desire was to unwind and enjoy life. However, fate dealt him a powerful blow—he acquired an ability that would significantly impact the one thing he cherished most. True curses always come disguised as gifts, and Jim was about to discover that the hard way.

The betrayal of the past leading to the revenge of many, but the diamond must be kept safe

A company has recently established a mission. Parts of history about the world they live in have been long forgotten, either because knowledge has been lost throughout generations or because information has been terminated by an unknown cause. The company has been advancing in technology. They have gone so far as to create a time machine named "Voyager." Andy Smith is a combat agent who has been trained in close combat and marksmanship. He was one of the best in his field. He was sent an invitation by the company, stating that they were looking for “skilled individuals” for this type of mission. The invitation that was sent to Andy had written terms and potential risks that he agreed to in order to take part in the mission. He had agreed that the cause of his death would be his responsibility and that the company would not be liable for his death. He will be sent to a period of time in the past that was considered “unknown” because the events were unrecorded. His mission was to gather missing information from past events for scientific purposes and, potentially, historical discoveries. Unfortunately, due to the unrecorded events, the researchers have no information about whether this period is safe or not, and Andy would have to engage in the mission blind. He had agreed to take part in it, regardless of the risks.

I'm not the greatest author, but I plan to consistently update this project, even if I have to write significantly slower than what you typically find on this platform. (My apologies!) Below, you will find some key notes that might be nice to see before becoming invested. PACE: 1 ch/week For now, I plan to write roughly 1 chapter / week. However, this might change in the future as I acclimate to writing more frequently. (Or if this story randomly becomes very successful.) MONEY: At least first 50 ch FREE I know I just mentioned this story becoming "successful", which typically entails paying the author and bla bla bla. BUT! I like the idea of this just being my story with no hooks or lines for a while. I plan to make the greater first chunk of the story free. TRENDS: ~~Overpowered~~ Honestly, I hate the concept of things being "overpowered". It reminds me of the first time I hacked my favorite childhood videogame. (It sucked the fun out of it completely.) That being said, I want this story to involve genuine challenges that take effort or risk to overcome. GENRE: Action, Mystery I would like this story to focus primarily around Action and Mystery. There might be some mild things tossed into the fray like comedy and romance, but don't expect anything too raunchy. DISCORD: -not yet implemented- I may eventually start a discord for this story. It could make a good library for supporting lore or artwork, as well as a place for people to discuss their theories or leave feedback. For now, this discord doesn't yet exist, but I will update you here when/if that changes. OTHER STORIES: Paused A few of you may have known me from my previous stories. I know, you may be pretty bummed that I haven't updated either in a really long time. There were some pretty hefty flaws in those stories that I kind of beat myself up over. (I actually formed this story while trying to restructure the surface world for 'Reincarnated as a Haunted Machine'.) For now, this will be my only work, as the world I live in has become rather complicated in recent years. Perhaps at some point, I will return to my other works, but for the foreseeable future, this story will be my one true love.
