Astral Chain

After a fateful accident, Kazuki's life is shattered when he begins to suspect he has become a Ghoul, a creature that feeds on human flesh. As he delves deeper into the shadowy world of Ghouls, Poachers and Awakened, he learns something worse. The truth is—he's a Ghoul-Devourer, a rare being that must consume other Ghouls to survive. To survive the horrors of this new life, he must hunt, kill, and consume his way to the top of the food chain. But as his humanity slips away, will he succumb to the monster he fears or become the ultimate predator? Also, the strongest Ghoul of the past era has taken him as a disciple. *** What to expect: - Unique Power System(s) - Weak to strong to OP. - 0 Confidence MC turns into a Cold and Calculating Anti-Hero. - Only One Love Interest - Climax which leaves more Questions than Answers (Will be Answered in upcoming stories set in the same verse) *** The end of Part 1 of Vol 1 (Ch-25) is where I'd say the real story starts. The end of Part 2 of Vol 1 is where the Protagonist would become cold and calculative. The starting chapters will feel very Tokyo Ghoulish, and trust me that's intentional as that heavily inspired me, but please don't drop this until you reach further ahead in the story. This story shapes up the world I'm trying to create, filled with different factions, goals, and the threads of fate guiding them. If you are giving this a chance then I'm very thankful. *** I'll be uploading 5 chapters every week!

Animal spirits, rare bloodlines, monsters from three realms, and eight families of Astral Conjurers. These are the things that unexpectedly enter Kairav’s life when the young cryptozoologist encounters a mysterious stranger during his expedition to find cryptid animals on a remote island. The stranger’s first words are, “Are you one of the Astral Conjurers?” “My bull spirit saw a unicorn spirit behind you. But that’s strange... didn’t the Pure-Hearted Clan die out hundreds of years ago?” That unexpected statement leaves Kairav shocked. The mention of a unicorn immediately brings back memories of his younger brother’s mysterious disappearance years ago, and of the day he awoke in the woods, face-to-face with a golden-horned unicorn spirit that healed his dying dog. From that moment on, Kairav sets out on a journey to uncover his true identity. His quest takes him from soul-searching in a haunted mountain forest to discovering a mysterious inscription under a step pyramid, one that speaks of Eternal Holy Water. He travels to the eight cardinal directions, solves complex puzzles, and faces mysteries. Author’s Notes: Hello, readers!

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!

Soren was once a soldier, but now he’s nothing more than a nameless slave, trapped in the deadly Colosseum and forced to fight for the entertainment of the masses. Bound by cursed iron chains that drain his strength, he’s resigned to a brutal life of survival—until he uncovers a strange, ancient power hidden within his shackles. This power is unlike any magic he’s ever known; the chains hum with forgotten voices, remnants of warriors who fought and died before him. Each battle awakens more of his potential, transforming him from a victim into a formidable force. Determined to escape, Soren begins his journey through layers of brutal hierarchy, discovering that the chains binding him are more than physical—they’re part of an ancient, unseen system that extends across realms. As he grows in power, Soren learns he isn’t the only one bound by cosmic chains; entire worlds are shackled by fate, bound to roles in a twisted hierarchy that feeds on subjugation. Through sheer will and cultivation, Soren ascends beyond his mortal limits, each breakthrough bringing him closer to the core of the cosmos’ chained structure. Along the way, he gathers allies, faces beings of immense power, and confronts the darkest forces within himself. His ultimate goal? To become the Chain Breaker, a figure prophesied to shatter the eternal bonds binding the realms and give everyone the freedom to forge their own paths.
