Cracked Pulp

In his efforts to eradicate the rebellious Nephilim, Livne Atniel the Skywrath Comforter accidentally created a crack in the Doldrio Plane, the barrier that separates Second Heaven from the universe below. Unbeknownst to him, there was a Nephilim who had been pretending to be dead among the corpses, and had been waiting for that moment. Before the crack in the barrier closed, the essence of the Nephilim left its body and fled to the lowest Universe, to a planet called Bastardia. Not wanting that last Nephilim to spread more heresy in Bastardia, Atniel was forced to go down there to hunt the said veil creature. The plan was, with the help of an angel, he would incarnate his essence into the body of someone who had just died. However, he was incarnated into the body of a young man named Irvine Donovan, who turned out to not actually be dead yet. The young man did try to commit suicide, but ultimately survived with Atniel trapped inside him. Now having trapped in someone’s body, how will Atniel complete the task of hunting down the renegade Nephilim, and save Bastardia from the apostasy it causes?

"I’m not here to fit in—I’m here to stand out. When the lights are brightest and the pressure’s crushing, that’s when I shine." On the cracked courts of Pinehill, Jaden "Silk" Hunter was a king. His ankle-breaking crossovers, no-look passes, and thunderous dunks made him a streetball legend. But when a scholarship pulls him into the unforgiving world of Ironwood Academy, the country’s most prestigious basketball powerhouse, Jaden learns that talent isn’t enough. At Ironwood, the court is a battlefield, every teammate is a rival, and Coach Grayson Hale rules with an iron fist. The flashy, unpredictable style that made Jaden a legend on the streets is seen as reckless and immature here. His teammates doubt him, his coach benches him, and the media begins to whisper: Is "Silk" all show and no substance? But Jaden isn’t here to play by anyone else’s rules. With his pride on the line and the weight of his hometown’s expectations on his shoulders, he’s determined to prove that style and substance can coexist—that you can rewrite the game and still come out on top. When rival prodigies, team betrayals, and mounting pressure push him to the edge, Jaden must rise beyond raw talent and show everyone that greatness isn’t just about playing the game—it’s about playing the Game Above Game. Will Jaden rise to the top, or will the weight of greatness bring him crashing down?

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel. [The Birth of a Hero]. [The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent. I became a part of that novel as the trash of the Count’s family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located. The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, are destroyed by assassins. The bigger problem is the fact that this stupid trash who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp. “…This is going to be a problem.” I feel like something serious has happened to me. But it was worth trying to make this my new life. DISCLAIMER: I am neither the author nor translator of the story. Please support author on official site. Translation credit: Eatapplepies

"Awareness" is a dark-themed dystopian novel set in the fractured world of Nova Terra, where humanity's thoughts are no longer their own. Bound by the oppressive grip of the Hotep-glasses worn from birth that manipulate perception and suppress free will-people live in unquestioning submission. But for those known as Familiaris, whose glasses are cracked and distorted, fragments of a forbidden truth begin to surface. These cursed individuals are shunned, feared, and pushed to the brink of madness as their fractured vision reveals the lies holding their world together. At the heart of the story is Kaduri Chazoi, a curious boy who grows into the masked symbol of rebellion, Eleven. Torn between his humanity and his mission, Kaduri leads a desperate fight for freedom against the tyrant Dux, whose traumatic past fuels his obsession with absolute control, and the Veraces, a faction of Familiaris who will stop anyone from toppling the system they fear will plunge the world into chaos. Brimming with psychological conflict, moral complexity, and high-stakes action, "Awareness" explores the fragility of truth, the cost of rebellion, and the unyielding courage it takes to break free from chains-both seen and unseen.

Living in a fantasy world isn't all its cracked up to be. No good plumbing, no good food, no video games, no social media, constant terrorist/demon attacks. Not to mention I even have a job... Well, a "Job" implies I'm being compensated for my work. A better term for it would be "Mandatory Volunteer" or "Slave" Either way this "Job" is my only ticket out of this god-forsaken world. What is it? Well, to be honest... I don't really know.

Nine years ago, humankind almost perished the day monsters came out of the Cracks– aka dungeons– that appeared all over the world. When all hope seemed to be lost, a select few awakened as Hunters equipped with a System. Thanks to them, the civilization recovered faster than one would expect after the apocalypse. However, another conflict presented itself later: the more the Hunters used their powers, the quicker they lost their sanity. Fortunately, among the Awakened People, there is a group classified by the System as Guides– and only these Guides have the power to soothe the Hunters and bring them back to their senses. Sounds great, right? But what happens when a Civilian is in a relationship with a Hunter who has a high matching rate with their Guide? “Let’s break up, Wonhee.” Yep, this is what happens when your Hunter boyfriend has a 76% matching rate with his Guide. Wonhee was dumped by her long-time boyfriend because she’s just a Civilian… … or so she thought.

"Ten years ago, humanity was unified and prosperous, but a mysterious wave of mythical energy with unknown origins swept across the Earth's surface, spreading globally and causing random fissures to appear worldwide. Creatures known as mythical beasts emerged from these cracks, wreaking havoc on the planet. Conventional human weapons proved ineffective against these creatures, and humanity teetered on the brink of defeat. However, due to the mythical energy that permeated the world, certain humans who absorbed this energy, now known as the mythical force, awakened special abilities and fought against these beasts. This catastrophic event became known as the Great Calamity. Harden, a young boy whose mother sacrificed herself to protect him from these beasts during the calamity, vows to become the strongest and exact revenge by eradicating every mythical beast. What dangers and challenges await him on his perilous quest for revenge and power?"

In a world where power is granted by the heavens, one boy is cast aside, marked as unworthy of even the lowest blessing. Orphaned, scorned, and adopted only to be rejected, he is deemed "trash" in the eyes of all who wield power. But when he is rejected by the Heaven Holy Pillar—a symbol of divine favor—he’s left questioning his very existence, cursed by fate and broken by shame. In the depths of his despair, a crack forms in the fabric of reality. A thunderous storm erupts from the unknown, tearing apart the pillar that once scorned him, as if the universe has answered his pain. From the heart of the storm descends a mysterious relic—a necklace bearing unimaginable energy, along with a presence that defies all he knows. With cosmic powers now awakening within him, he embarks on a journey not to earn the heavens’ favor but to transcend it entirely. As he uncovers the secrets of the Veil of the Shattered Heavens, he realizes he’s been chosen for a destiny beyond the gods' understanding. In a realm that trembles before true strength, even the heavens are not qualified to stand in his way.

"Now you see?" she shouted in a mix of annoyance and disappointment. "You can't outsmart Scrients! They're the most intelligent beings across the two realms." "You're right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a heavy sigh. "I made a mistake. I was too arrogant to think that a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "Heik! Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I'm not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait, you can't. I killed them all.” ______ My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid, pointless scuffle, and in the middle of it, I tripped and hit my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in - the memories of another life, of a different world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First, I was in a game I used to play in my past life. Second, I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool and mysterious kind, either. No, my destiny was to be manipulated and die a dog's death! I was the worst type of cliché: an ungrateful, privileged, insufferable young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. The kind everyone hates — a snobby brat from a powerful noble family who thinks he owns the world just because he was born with a silver spoon lodged in his mouth. You know the type. The one the hero beats to a pulp to prove his worth. Yeah, I was that guy. And the hero? The hero was the kid I’d been bullying all this time. The same one I got into a fight with. He was the supposed savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And at the end of it all, the final antagonist of the game, the undefeatable boss… the Spirit King, was waiting. But could I even make it to the end? Could I conquer a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that was now my reality! “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could, but I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, twisting the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains before they could become threats - nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected? Who cares! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me—my survival, my life, my choices. “I will live this life with no regrets.” …But as I soon discovered, fate was not easily changed. And the price of altering one's destiny was steep.
