My Will Is Absolute

About two hundred and fifty years ago, Earth was a thriving planet filled with bustling life. Having been governed by humans for thousands and thousands of years, if not a million. They had advanced through the ages, continuously creating and making all sorts of inventions in their search for knowledge and power, till they had enough to destroy the world. And yet these things weren’t what almost ended the world, wiping out entirely ninety nine percent of Humanity, and led them to the depth of extinction. Instead it was the Reckoning. The Day Of Reckoning as they called it, took Humanity on a bright lively day like any other. Manifesting Diabolical Creatures across the world as Earth’s atmosphere became corrupted, their lands soiled as it devoured them… Yet in the midst of all these, while the future seemed bleak and non-existent. Along with the disaster brought to Earth, A New Era Opened. A world where most Humans chose to Inherit the Will of their Predecessor and become Bearers, thereby gaining special powers, bizarre abilities also known as Will. … And here we have Flynn, an orphan without any tiresome sad past who could have just lived his life like a common person, protected from the horrors of the world. No ambitious or vengeance quest to seek strength. But did... After living through the Tribulation, he somehow Inherits two Will. -Only to be thrown into a haze of ancient mysteries, and lurking dangers that hoped to claim his life. Striving hard as he could, he hopes to confront the Unseen Beings behind the wheel... and kill them all.

The Astral soul system

a calamity once shook the earth and made it seem like extinction of all was certain however amidst the ashes of destruction the earth sudden awakened a latent power which seeped out from its core, transforming the earth and it's inhabitants and granting humans miraculous powers called ABILITIES which were powered by the energy which humans had evolved to harness. plants and animals on the other hand continuously evolved into terrifying beasts with slight semblance to their weaker predecessors. Now, over 3000 years later a mysterious young boy surrounded by strange circumstances,a past shrouded in mystery , and an unusual aura surrounding him finds himself with a mysterious system and in the prestigious sentinel military academy now with a new unknown ally in the form of the system Zen is on a mission for so much more than he knows. will he succeed? especially with literal and figurative ghosts from his past coming back to haunt them and pieces of their mysterious past coming to haunt him? ( wait did i say "them" and "their"? oops spoilers!) [important message] okay so the novel starts out a bit slow with little to no action scenes and more about providing info on the world and the MC Also,truth is i was confused about what to put as a warning notice or whether to put one at all because although the novel might contain some salty language there's really nothing too extreme. also I'd like to guarantee that there are no smut scenes. there might be some times when it almost happens or it did and I might not just go into it in detail or skip it altogether. plus there might be some times with extreme gore and torture both physical and psychological (mostly psychological) especially considering I want who as far as you know is the MC and most characters surrounding him to be as heartless as possible , and I want it to be clear that the MC is by no means a good person and won't hesitate to do some morally questionable stuff to achieve his goals,although not without reason. one last thing is that at first it might seem like I'm trying to make him powerful from the start for no reason but it's mostly due to specific circumstances. okay bye!

Celestial Speed: Legacy

Ding [congratulations you have acquired the Celestial{God of speed}System] [Do you accept the term and conditions of the system] With a huge claw at his face ready to take off his head, sending him back to the dark abyss from which he had just arrived not so long ago, already accepting his fate for a second death. Henry saw a holographic screen flash in front of him, one that would change his new life for the better... or worse, seeing no other option in his current dilemma and with nothing else to lose. "Yes, yes i accept!" he screamed out with determination and hope that this might just be a miracle here to save him from certain doom,and indeed it was. [You have successfully acquired all the functions and priorities of the system,including its benefits and disadvantages] Henry saw the screen again but that wasn't all he saw to his disbelief everything in the surroundings including the ferocious beast trying to kill him, were now completely still with the lion's claws just a few centimeters away from his head. "Wow, i guess this must be part of the benefits the system granted," he exclaimed with surprise "But what about the demerits?" I guess we'll find out soon enough as this was only just the beginning. Now with his newly acquired "cheat" system in a new world he had just been reincarnated to. From an urban civilization to an even more futuristic, civilized urban utopia where magic and technology are well versed, Henry must find his true purpose in the new world as he discovers more beings like him both good and bad. And as he navigates his way to a better second chance, making new friends and encountering old foes courtesy of his predecessor. Going against both celestial entities and monsters from other realms and doing as he pleases, defying rules of the multiverses and discovering worlds beyond. "Or maybe I'll just kick back and relax in this New World." SNEAK PEAK! Henry stood face to face with the mysterious figure, their suits a stark contrast to each other. Henry's white and gold suit gleamed in the sunlight, while the other figure's black and purple suit seemed to absorb the light around them. A mask covered the figure's face, making it impossible for Henry to discern their identity. "You're quite the legend, Henry," the figure said in a low, gravelly voice "I've heard a lot about your skills." Henry's eyes narrowed. "Who are you?" The figure chuckled. "Someone who's been watching you. Someone who's been waiting for the perfect moment to strike." Henry's grip on his fists tightened. "What do you want?" The figure smiled, their mask glinting in the light. "I want to see how fast you really are." Without warning, the figure took off, their black and purple suit blurring as they sprinted away. Henry's eyes widened, and he grinned. "Game on!" he exclaimed, taking off after the mysterious figure. The two speedsters tore through the city streets, their suits leaving trails of distorted air in their wake. As Henry left a trail of gold lightning so did the figure leave one of purple. Henry's Nitro suit glowed with a brilliant white light as he pushed himself to his limits, his feet pounding the pavement in a blur. The mysterious figure was fast, but Henry was determined to catch up. He focused all his energy on the chase, his senses heightened as he navigated the crowded streets. The city became a colorful blur as the two speedsters clashed in a battle of velocity and agility. Henry's heart pounded with excitement, his mind racing with the thrill of the chase. Who was this mysterious figure, and what did they want? Henry was determined to find out. Crap! I wanted to write more but looks like I've reached the word limit. Sigh* Well I hope I've gotten your attention with all this, i like my summary to always look like a trailer, that's why it's so long. Anyways check more of these when you read my book and support, I'll appreciate. Gracias! Check my discord link in bio, join for more info.

Exiled to a Foreign Land: Managing a Destitute Estate

Philip never expected his new life to be so… complicated. When a tragic accident in the modern metropolis of Bortinto abruptly ends his struggle for survival, he wakes up as the scandal-ridden heir of a ducal house in a world where magic and science coexist. Any fantasies of an easy, heroic life vanish the moment he realizes that the estate that he is tasked with managing is drowning in debt, and his reputation has been shredded by rumors involving his predecessor’s broken engagement to the socialite Lady Rosetta—the granddaughter of a prince. Even as he scrambles to rebuild his estate’s fortunes—grappling with contaminated land, mounting debts, and shrewed industrialists—he unearths troubling secrets about the original Philip’s heartbreak and suicide. A dark, hidden force seems intent on wiping him out for an unknown reason. As conspiracies emerge linking Lady Rosetta’s departure to these shadowy machinations, Philip struggles to separate ally from adversary, not knowing why this power in high places is so bent on destroying him. Meanwhile, the realm teeters on the brink of monumental change. Technological and social revolutions collide with century-old magical traditions, and war drums thunder on the distant borders. Armed with his modern knowledge of finance—now fused with the kingdom’s burgeoning industrial innovations—Philip attempts to ride the trends and transform his estate into a beacon of prosperity and secure his heirship to the ducal title. Yet each small triumph only attracts more enemies. Tasked by the System with cultivating a supernatural entity while uncovering the real reason behind Lady Rosetta’s canceled engagement and the original Philip’s tragic end, he must also shield those he grows to care about from the looming threats. Will he harness the synergy of magic, technology, and commerce to steer his estate toward greatness, or will malevolent forces quash his second chance at life? Will his second chance at life end the same tragic way as his first?

I Transmigrated as a Vampiric Prince

Sethius Von Nevermore. A name I know all too well. Calling him a demon spawn, a bastard, or a vile criminal would do him injustice. People inside the story may say he's the pure incarnation of death, wrapped in the pristine clothes of nobility. A prince born in the very thing he embodies, whose first breath became his mother's last. Second-born to the throne but first in infamy. A villain whose existence makes ink turn crimson with dread. And now? Now, as I stare into this accursed mirror, all I see is his face, those hollow crimson eyes, in which my soul seems to be trapped for eternity. Oh dear heavens, how hearty must he be laughing because I... I have transmigrated into the body of the worst villain in the novel I used to read. But, even then this poor, pathetic, little me will do what my sorry excuse of predecessor couldn’t accomplish even in his wildest dreams. Killing the story protagonist. ///////////////////////////// Just wanna say a few things: 1) The plan is for it to be free so no pay to read bs and even if I change my mind in the future I guarantee at least 100 chapters( if I get that far) 2)Even if it may suck at the start plese read at least maybe 5-10 chapters before dropping it. 3) the first chapter will between 500-1000 words until I get the hang of how to write cuz like alot of people here, english is not my first language. 4) I use AI to help me write this cuz I suck so if this doesn't sit well with you fell free to skip.( ´-`) 5)Enjoy reading ( ´∀` )b

最高神 ( Saikō-shin )

In the beginning, before time, space, or existence, there was only **The First**, the primordial god who existed in solitude. He was the source of all creation, the infinite being who birthed the universe from His own essence. Though boundless in power and needing no assistance, He chose to create other gods and goddesses to share His responsibilities and bring balance to the vast cosmos. **The First** began by shaping time, then dimensions, and finally the universe itself. He crafted stars, planets, and all celestial bodies, giving each its place in the grand design. Yet, despite His omnipotence, He sought companionship and delegation, not out of necessity, but as an act of will. Thus, He created the **Primordial Pantheon**, gods and goddesses who would oversee the many facets of existence: 1. **Super Solar** - The god of heat and fire, who controlled the sun and all things that burned with energy. 2. **Ray Of Light** - The god of illumination, master of light and all that shone within the cosmos. 3. **Amor Venerem** - The goddess of love, who wove the threads of affection and connection among all beings. 4. **Tenebrae Lunae Est Proserpinae** (Goddess Luna) - The goddess of darkness and the moon, who ruled over night and the mysteries hidden within shadows. These deities, though divine and powerful, were not perfect. They possessed wills, desires, and the capacity for creation themselves. Over time, unions among the gods birthed new beings, expanding the pantheon and spreading influence across the realms of existence. Among these descendants were gods and goddesses who wielded dominion over critical aspects of life and death: - **Deus Caeli**: The goddess of heaven and protector of paradise. - **Ponderibus**: The god of judgment, who balanced good and evil at the gates of the afterlife. - **Mundus Mortis**: The god of the realm of the dead, who managed wandering souls and the passage to judgment. - **Infernum**: The god of hell, ruler of torment and punishment for the wicked. ### **The Rise of Saikō-shin** Unbeknownst to **The First**, His decision to delegate power planted the seeds of change. Among the pantheon, one god or goddess was destined to surpass Him—a being whose ambition and strength would disrupt the divine hierarchy. This deity, known as **Saikō-shin** (the Supreme God), was prophesied to emerge as the next ruler of all creation. Unlike the other gods, Saikō-shin possessed a unique trait: the ability to evolve beyond the limits set by **The First**. This evolution was not driven by rebellion but by the natural progression of existence itself. Saikō-shin’s rise began subtly, as they mastered the realms under their control. They united the pantheon, balancing chaos and order, light and darkness, love and judgment. Their influence grew, and with it, the realization that the cosmos demanded a new ruler—one capable of guiding existence into the next era. **The First**, though all-knowing, did not resist this change. He understood that creation was ever-evolving and that His time as the sole god had reached its conclusion. In an act of divine surrender, He passed His power and title to Saikō-shin, who ascended to the throne as the Supreme God. With the ascension of Saikō-shin, the cosmos entered a new era. While **The First** retreated into the void from which He came, His presence remained as a silent watcher, ensuring balance and continuity. Under Saikō-shin's rule, the universe flourished, guided by a new vision and the lessons of its divine predecessors. Thus, the cycle of creation and succession began, ensuring that divinity itself would never grow stagnant, forever adapting to the needs of existence.

Nature has Rebelled [Interstellar]

For as long as the world can remember, nature was breathtakingly beautiful. ____ In the interstellar era, their long voyage led them to the pinnacle of evolution. Even in the vast sea of the stars, they remained at the top of the food chain. However, this also led to them losing their only home. Their beautiful blue planet, the birthplace of life, has long been destroyed. On the remaining habitable planets, spiritual plants have become scarce, and all animals have died, leaving them with nothing but mutant aliens. Even the soil, the water, and the air were polluted. The green scenery and the clear sky are like mirages, living only in their dreams. But what if nature rebelled? In the long passage of longing, they had forgotten that nature itself was, in fact, more cruel than any of them.    —   General Liele, the current strongest combatant of the empire, was severely injured after the last coalition war. As a result, he degenerated back into his mimetic juvenile form, unable to turn back. If his situation persists, he’ll be locked in a sanatorium and live like a mad prisoner for most of his life.  But such is the fate of all of his predecessors.  Before descending into utter madness, he instinctively followed a young girl who had the fragrance of flowers. The girl was tiny and soft. She especially looks fragile.  However, she goes in and out of the black market and all known illegal planets. Owning an unauthorized robot and driving an unlicensed Mech, not abiding by the laws, how rebellious are you?! Kidnapping juvenile mimetic forms, keeping black households, hiding illegal immigrants, and hijacking the army network! Be honest, are you a space pirate?! The general felt he had indeed boarded a pirate ship, and it was too late to jump off. For the sake of his food and housing, that's fine; let's be the most fearsome interstellar pirates. #Interstellar #Farming #Slowpacing Tentative update schedule: Once a week, every sunday night, with 5-7 chapters per update. Note: I edit as I write so please don't be too harsh on careless mistakes. Please. Please. I write this as a hobby and for a break so it's for my good mood.
