Counter Narratives

Leonardo Salvius Nox was born to die in the mines—just another faceless soul carved from the stone of oppression, disease, and lost dreams. But when a mysterious stranger gifts him a glowing stone at a moonlit festival, Leonardo is thrust out of his grim reality and into a realm where his life was fiction, death is negotiable, and trauma awaiting him. Now labeled the [Uninvited Guest], Leonardo becomes an anomaly—a living glitch in the Museum and Realms. Thrust into the surreal halls of the Museum of Narratives, he discovers with only a fading past and a fractured identity, he is assigned a purpose he never asked for: become a Tour Guide Practical Officer and dive into the Deplorable era; but before that—a "quick" tutorial. But the deeper he journeys, the clearer it becomes—this isn’t about fixing stories. It’s about rewriting his own.

In this store, rules must be followed. Welcome to the Dimensional Convenience Store, where even the greatest existences must check the price before they buy. — Releasing: Mon to Fri 2-3 chapters.

A world where the veil between reality and nightmare has shattered, monsters now prowl the streets of Tokyo after sundown. Humanity’s last line of defense lies with the Nightguard Corps—an elite force trained to fight back the horrors that emerge in the darkness. Divided into five powerful divisions, each unit faces death nightly to preserve the fragile peace of the waking world. Lucien, a mysterious teenager who first was a homeless orphan from the age of 3 now is gifted with divine powers by the Creator of Gods. He is told that he is the vessel for the God of Vengeance. He finds himself dragged into this war after barely surviving a monster attack. Taken in by the Nightguard Corps, he endures brutal training, deadly trials, and soul-shattering tests of character. But even after surviving the legendary Death Trial—a fight to the death against a monstrous abomination no one has ever lived through—Lucien is denied his rightful place. Only through the loyalty of newfound friends and a second chance at fate does Lucien rise again. Now a full-fledged member of Division Five—a small but growing squad consisting of Rylen, Jason, Emiluna, and himself—Lucien begins his new life among comrades who treat him like family. With each passing mission, his power evolves—telekinesis, superhuman strength, mental perception, and the mysterious divine force known as Purgeflame—a holy fire that burns through corruption itself. But peace is short-lived. Haunted by the power inside him and hunted by the beings beyond comprehension, Lucien must face not only the monsters outside—but the ones buried deep within himself. Because the truth is clear: Lucien wasn’t just chosen by a god. He may have been created to kill them. Average words are around 1.8k to 2k.

Nin-Ran-Gi is a futuristic dystopian world ruled by a single nation under one authoritarian government, controlled entirely by powerful chaebols—corporate conglomerates that own everything from infrastructure to information. Society is plagued by rampant crime: narcotics, human trafficking, mass murder, kidnapping, and unspeakable atrocities. At the heart of the chaos are vicious outlaw factions and criminal syndicates known collectively as the Sinners—masterminds of terror and destruction. Their brutal massacres have pushed civilisation to the brink, turning once-safe cities into warzones. Though the Special Security Counter Bureau Force (SSCBF) was established to contain the threat, their efforts have fallen short. The streets remain perilous. Justice feels like a relic of the past. Amid the decay, a lone figure emerges: Agent-90—a notorious and deadly assassin, emotionless yet precise. Neither hero nor villain, he operates outside in shadows where the law doesn’t work properly, targeting the Sinners and outlaws who endanger the fragile balance of society. In a world that has lost its moral compass, Agent-90 may be its final reckoning.

Adolf Hitler died choking on the ashes of his Reich… only to awaken in a world of magic, monsters, and weak-willed kings. Reborn in a land untouched by blitzkrieg or bullets, he finds no swastikas, no iron crosses — only empires ripe for conquest and sorcerers too soft to rule. Stripped of title but not of hatred, he begins again. Not as a man. As a force. With steel in his hands, fire in his veins, and poison in his words, he sets out to build an empire of blood — one bullet, one spell, one corpse at a time. There is no redemption. There is no remorse. Only war. Content Warning: This story contains depictions of fascist ideology, war crimes, and morally reprehensible behavior from an unapologetically evil protagonist. It does not glorify these beliefs — it explores their horror through fiction and philosophical conflict. If you’re uncomfortable with dark historical themes or villain-centered narratives, this story is not for you.

Some feelings grow where they’re not allowed. Twenty-four-year-old Eugene spends his quiet mornings behind a café counter, pouring lattes and pretending his world is still intact. But when a group of high schoolers walks in on a cold Monday morning, something unexpected happens—he notices one of them. A boy with soft black hair, honey-brown eyes, and a smile that feels like sunlight through winter fog. Eugen doesn’t know why he can’t stop thinking about him. Why he still smells vanilla milk hours after he’s gone. Why something warm keeps blooming in his chest. Because feelings like this aren’t allowed. Not here. Not like this. Not with him. And yet... he hopes he comes back tomorrow.

She’s stronger. Wiser. And not so easily swayed. As old sparks reignite and hidden truths unravel, Sandra must decide: can she truly forgive?

Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yu Junghyeok, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA). Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amusement of god-like “Constellations.” After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark. He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA. Although he is the singular omniscient reader of the events yet to come, his success in the scenarios is not guaranteed—but perhaps his advantage will empower him to step into the protagonist role that never suited him before.

From C-Rank… can I really climb to SSS-Rank by avoiding sin and temptation? This is my journey. A journey of inner battles, hidden temptations, fake friends, and unexpected divine encounters. I’m Elric Thorns. And this is my path to redemption.

“You shouldn’t walk around in that nightwear.” His voice was low—closer than it should’ve been. I didn’t have time to turn. His hand slid up my thigh before I could even breathe. My grip on the counter tightened like it might save me. “Alpha—” Elyssa was the traitor’s daughter—unmated, unloved, and wolf-less. A pack slave. A pretty shadow. Easy to overlook.

In a universe where power flows through laws of energy and stories shape reality, a nameless spark awakens with a single drive-evolve or be erased. From taming wild elemental beasts in primordial realms to hacking the very structure of legendary narratives, the protagonist weaves his way through worlds governed by energy, emotion, and entropy. Armed with a quantum-based cultivation system that extracts power from heat, motion, and memory, he crafts pocket worlds, challenges the hierarchy of the cosmos, and balances the line between savior and tyrant. As he threads his destiny into the heart of fallen myths and living legends, a question remains-can he rewrite fate without unraveling himself? This is not a tale of good versus evil. This is the odyssey of a Threadweaver-a being who spins entire worlds just to understand his own purpose.

A Call to the Golden Age of Cultivation To my dearest readers, fellow dreamers and seekers of the grandest tales – have you ever yearned for the sagas of old? The kind that didn't rush through 200 chapters, but stretched across **two, even three thousand, with every detail meticulously woven?** I speak of the **pioneering era of Xianxia and Wuxia, the true Grand Cultivation and Cosmic Xianxia narratives** that still echo in our hearts. We live in an age where new novels emerge at lightning speed, driven by quick updates and rapid-fire releases. But amidst this surge, let us not forget the legends penned by authors whose very names evoke reverence, even if their origins are lost to time. These pioneers left us with an invaluable lesson: **true depth and epic scale aren't about speed, but about profound immersion.** They showed us worlds of lower, middle, and upper realms; universes existing within a single body and countless others beyond it. They crafted **ancient immortals and terrifying, primordial chaos** – not the watered-down, cliché versions, but a dread-inducing, boundless void. They took us to **Golden Eras of maximum power, where every sect soared, every technique resonated with peak potential, and the adventure was truly infinite.** No tedious trudges through "mortal world, immortal world, spirit world, fairy world, zzz" – just pure, unadulterated cosmic might from the get-go. I may not be a seasoned god of this genre, but I am a fervent disciple. Inspired by these titans, these very deities of storytelling, I aim to emulate their magnificent vision. My upcoming chapters will embrace their concept of a **Golden Era, a peak-level world brimming with maximum power from the outset.** We'll delve into iconic tropes like **universes beyond the body, the tiered cosmos, and a chaos that truly inspires awe**, not just a basic understanding. Join me as I attempt to craft something truly exciting and immersive within this beloved genre. For it is only those pioneers, those gods, who inspire me to seek such grand narratives. Let us together rediscover the lost art of the truly epic! I clarify that I also like the current immortal cultivation stories. They are popular and easy to shape, especially if you want a story without plagiarism. I recommend focusing on the genre, taking inspiration and making your own ideas of what the MC is like and how they act in the face of monotony and boredom. Persevere. Withdraw or continue?

There was a time before this. I cannot remember it clearly. It comes in fragments — the weight of power, a voice that once called my name, a pair of eyes I feel more than see. But the rest is mist. They say I am being punished. The System gives me no guidance. It does not speak unless it must. It does not comfort. It only instructs. [Task detected. Entering soul channel.] I wake in bodies that do not belong to me. A fallen young mistress. A nameless servant girl. A scapegoat disciple left to rot at the foot of a mountain. They are all women who died with unfinished fates. Each time, the System says I must live in their place and complete their stories. Restore what was stolen. Rewrite what was lost. And when I do… a token appears. I do not know how many I must collect. The System does not say. It only demands. I did not ask for this path. I do not walk it willingly. But there is something I am chasing — or perhaps, something chasing me. Sometimes, in the quiet moments between death and rebirth, I hear a voice. Sometimes, I feel a hand reaching out. Familiar. Warm. Longing. I do not know who he is. I do not know who I am. But when I gather the tokens, the dreams become clearer. The ache grows stronger. If the only way to return is forward, then forward I will go. Not for the System. Not for Heaven. But for the one who remembers me… even when I cannot remember myself.
