When a satellite photo of the Arctic was sent back to the countries, the people of the earth were shocked by the content of the photo. They saw thousands of wolves in the Arctic, which even included hundreds of polar bears and Arctic silver foxes, all uniformly looking obedient. On the top of the snowy mountain, a giant Arctic wolf, whose size exceeded everyone's imagination, was looking down on the Arctic ice field from a high position.

America, 1980. No sooner had Xu Yi transmigrated than he was put on the dissection table; then he gradually came to understand the true nature of this world. "Studying medicine can't exorcise undead demons; I must become an exorcist!" he resolved silently to himself. On a misty, rain-soaked night. "Miss Evil Spirit over there, the night is cold and damp; be careful not to catch a chill! Come over here and warm yourself by the fire!" Xu Yi said, holding a lighter, as the pale gold flame slowly approached the other. The Evil Spirit shrank back, looking at Xu Yi with fear. "Don't be afraid, I just want to warm you up..." Xu Yi's face broke into a warm smile, "by setting you on fire!" Ding dong! Ding dong! "Sign-in at the Land of Fear successful, Resurrection Coin awarded!" "Synthesis pathway requirements met, do you wish to combine the following entries?" Psychic + Scholar + Painter = Psychic Painter! Saintly Offspring + Gunfight Technique + Revolver Mastery = Holy Gunslinger! Undead + Revelation + Holy Nation = God!

A strange illness had affected humanity that caused them to succumb to despair and violence, slowly draining their life force until they die and their corpses morphed into murderous and hungry creatures known as hellspawns, plunging the world into chaos and destruction. Meanwhile, a so-called labyrinth of trials that had descended to the world along with the hellspawn disease was conquered by humans and allowed them to awakened their innate abilities in order to fight back against the monsters that threatened to end the world. 20 years later, Lloyd Claudel, who had just turn fifteen years old, had a wishful dream of living a comfortable and carefree life without worrying about food. Having lost his mother at an early age in the midst of chaos that caused a riot among the civilians due to shortage of food supply, life was a hard struggle for him. He was rescued by an aspirant from the clutches of his father who had turned into a hellspawn later after his mother's death, which gave him a second chance to live, but his luck ran out soon enough as his remaining resources were slowly being depleted to the point it threatened his survival for one more day as he had no job and no one to rely on. Having no choice left but to heed the advice of his savior, he ended up bribing a guard for a recommendation to enter the academy and participated in the trials ceremony secretly that was supposed to be only for the rich and capable people, only to get entangled with horrible fate once more after awakening a non-combat innate ability and even had almost crossed the boundary between life and death inside the trials. Surprisingly, he was one of the very few people who had awakened another soul tree system, making him unique and giving and allowing him to grow stronger and faster than others. Will he be able to turn the tides of fate this time and survive the ruthless ordeals of the trials or would he succumb to death this time? Follow Lloyd as he embarks in his struggles to fulfill his goals and ambitions.

*Currently rewriting the start as I continue uploading chapters.* An average high schooler, Miko finds himself summoned to a kingdom from another world, heralded as some kind of savior, and given a system to grow his strength.

I never thought that my life would take such a drastic turn. One moment, I was a regular high school student, and the next, I found myself in a completely different world. A world where animals ruled and humans were the outsiders. It all started when I had a near-death experience. The last thing I remembered was a blinding light, and then, I woke up in a forest. However, I wasn't myself anymore. I had been reincarnated as a small, fluffy rabbit. I couldn't believe it. I was now a mere prey animal, vulnerable to every predator in the forest. But I refused to let this be the end of me. I had always been a determined person, and I wasn't going to let this new body stop me. So, I started to observe the animals around me, learning their ways and techniques for survival. I learned how to be quick and agile, how to hide and camouflage myself, and most importantly, how to fight. I knew that if I wanted to survive in this world, I had to become stronger. And so, I set out on a journey to become the top predator in the forest. I challenged animals much bigger and stronger than me, using my wit and agility to defeat them. Slowly but surely, I started to climb up the food chain. As I became stronger, I also gained a new sense of respect and admiration from the other animals. They saw me as a survivor, a leader, and someone to be feared. I had gone from a weak and defenseless rabbit to a powerful and respected predator. But my journey didn't end there. I soon discovered that there was an ancient evil lurking in the forest. A dark force that wanted to bring darkness and destruction to the land. And I knew that it was up to me, the newly crowned top predator, to stop it. With the help of my animal friends, I embarked on a quest to defeat the evil and protect our home. It was a dangerous and challenging journey, but I was determined to see it through. And in the end, we were able to defeat the darkness and bring peace back to the forest. As I looked back on my journey, I realized that getting reincarnated into an animal was the best thing that ever happened to me. It had made me stronger, braver, and a true leader. And I couldn't wait to see what other adventures awaited me in this wild and wonderful animal world.

In a world where humans and demi-humans coexist in harmony, Rengoku Muhei has lived his life in the shadow of his older brother, the revered Wolf Blood Alpha. But when an unstoppable threat arises, one that could bring his brother's reign to an end, Rengoku realizes his moment has come. To prepare for a future where he may need to assume his brother's role, he must train relentlessly, rising through the grueling ranks of the Hunter Society to unlock his hidden Lunar power. On this path, Rengoku encounters allies and adversaries alike, each shaping his journey toward the Alpha's throne. *** The sound of the blade caressing swished through the air as Rengoku tossed the cut blade into the air and letting it fall back into his palm. "Huh?... Rengo..." Taro let out a surprising gasp, he wasn't sure what he had in mind but in that split second, he realized that Rengoku had an aura of calmness surrounding him. "If only you were a lot less bloodthirsty... Tatsuya". Rengoku continued. "Really... Tell me brat, what do you intend to do with that broken blade?" Tatsuya replied. "Oh this is going right through your chest..." Ren assured as he used the blade to physically draw a imaginary line that corresponded with the scar that ran through Tatsuya's face. "Don't make me laugh... Idiot," Tatsuya sneered, a sneer that Ren found oddly disconcerting. "I wasn't trying to," Ren replied, his voice calm despite the tension. He shifted his hand away from Tatsuya’s frame, his fingers curling around the broken blade - a weapon that was now his only hope. With a calculated flick, the blade was launched skyward, its trajectory tracing a deadly arc directly above Tatsuya. A slight forward and backward movement of his wrist helped him gauge the distance, and with a burst of determination, Ren propelled the blade with all his might. "Huh?" Taro gasped, his eyes widening in shock as he watched the spectacle unfold. "You missed... Brat!" Tatsuya taunted, a sneer returning to his lips. "Are you sure about that?" Ren replied, his voice low and steady. In that split second, as the blade whistled through the air, Ren's mind raced. 'Did I miss? If it goes according to plan, I'll be able to do what he taught... Yes, I think I can pull it off now. Activate the technique and release it immediately, so I don't destroy too much unintentionally.' 'One...' he steadied himself, his fist poised like a spear, ready to strike. 'Two...' 'Three...' The clanging sound of metal against rock echoed through the night, a violent symphony of force and resistance. With his eye, Ren caught the spark caused by the collision, a brief flash that ignited his next move. He took off with great speed, the wind whistling past him as he closed the distance between him and Tatsuya. Tatsuya, saw Rengoku's approach and prepared himself for the impending attack. But he was unaware of the blade that had deflected off the boulder, hurtling straight toward his back. The blade pierced deep into his right shoulder blade, a searing pain that disoriented him and shattered his focus. As he reeled from the unexpected strike, Ren's attack was already in motion. "Tsuki Jutsu," Ren intoned, his voice low and commanding. "Akai Satsu."

The Genesis Era, Earth in the year 510 GE—is the new era of the Earth after all the intergalactic invasions for the past one thousand years. Before the Earth was totally overtaken by these alien invaders, a group of heroes rose above the surface with the aim of protecting the world. These so-called heroes were the silent mythological gods and goddesses from all parts of world mythology. But because of the "Law of Order" protecting the balance within the worlds from different universes, these heroes could no longer give direct help when the alien invaders left a disaster that still endangers the Earth aborigines. With their last resort, these heroes created a system that allows humans to become these gods' vessels, letting them become able to use their godly strength and power, opening a new path to a new era. Wren Adams, a mythomaniac from the modern Earth era, was just on his way to finishing studying the last religious mythology when he just blacked out. When he wakes up, he is reincarnated as system-less Wren Adams of the Genesis Era, in which those myths he deems legends became the heroes that help maintain the peace and order of the New Earth Age. From a system-less guy, let's watch as Wren Adams conquers the dungeons in all the universe by becoming the OP MC through leveling and gathering all the godly vessels, relishing his identity as the gods' favorite.

Scottie Santos is just a normal 25 year old woman. She's a college graduate working as a secretary to the editor-in-chief for a popular magazine. Yep, life is treating Scottie extremely well. There's just one thing: Scottie Santos is a virgin. Okay, well, that's not the problem, really. She actually has a disgustingly obsessive porn addiction. It's something that constantly seems to be on her mind and even begins bleeding into her everyday life. So, Scottie decides that her only solution is going clubbing or hanging out with friends whenever she can to abstain from said addiction. But, on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, she struggles from 'Pure O' Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (something she's self-diagnosed herself with.) As she puts it, her mind can imagine anyone and anything between her legs, anyone and anything. These intrusive thoughts seem to plague her no matter what the situation which leads her to compulsively research her condition or 'train' her brain into having healthy sexual thoughts by consuming porn. So the only thing left to say is, what the fuck is Scottie supposed to do?
