Classic Postmodern

Mirror Crown

Mirror Crown Inheriting a kingdom built on lies... Christian Classic, heir to the richest family in the world, has everything a person could desire—luxury, power, and endless privilege. But despite his wealth, Christian is spoiled, cold-hearted, and utterly indifferent to the world around him. He doesn’t care about school, his staff, or even the empire that awaits him. His world revolves around selfish indulgence and shallow desires. But fate has other plans. After a tragic car accident claims Christian's life, Eric Xavier, a poor man with no ties to the world of wealth, finds himself thrust into Christian’s place. The resemblance between them is uncanny, and no one suspects that the heir to the empire has died. Eric, unlike Christian, is kind, humble, and genuinely cares about the people around him. But playing the role of a ruthless heir is not as easy as it seems. As Eric navigates Christian's world—full of family secrets, high-society politics, and dangerous lies—he begins to realize that the crown of privilege isn't as glorious as it appears. The people who once feared Christian now begin to notice the difference in “him,” but they attribute it to some strange transformation. As Eric struggles to maintain his secret, he is forced to choose between embracing the darkness of the empire or risking it all to preserve his humanity. In the dangerous game of power and deception, can Eric keep up the charade of being Christian Classic? Or will the truth come crashing down before he’s ready? --

I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars.

Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.

Dark Resurrection: Shadows of Nekrom

Tristessa Irandell is a young woman with no memories of her past, who is thrown into another world without any explanation. Only to die. And live again. And die once again. Death and Resurrection. Loops and cycles. Pain and suffering. A path of fear and violence. Of Divine powers and thaumaturgy. Of blood and horrors lurking in every corner. A path that Tristessa will need to traverse if she wants to uncover the dark, evil truths behind her lost memories, and the tragedies that are bringing that new world, Nekrom, to the brink of collapse, under the hands of the terrible Shadow Queen... Author's notes: Hi there, SOMBRA here. As a newbie author on the platform, I need to use this space to comment a few things about DarkRE: SoN. *The story is going to be brutal. Gore, violence, psychological horror and uncomfortable topics. Beware about it. *There's a "system", only not in the classic way as seen in the common denominator of the genre. *There will be romance here and there, but it's not one of the strong points of the story. *You may think that I want to make the MC suffer, like forcing her to push a boulder up the hill like Sisyphus. All I’m going to say is that at the end of every struggle there is a reward, for those who doesn’t falter. *I'm writing for fun. I love it and I've no intention of stopping until I finish this story. Expect more than 1000 chapters, with an average of about 1000-1500 words/chapter. With that said, for those lost souls who happened to find this story, welcome and enjoy! Also, here's a Spotify playlist that I update while thinking about DarkRE: SoN. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4RCltbnEyuA0jyiUWWZszT?si=wsfn7XO9TGSnJoiqSiWjKA&pi=wFlnFr9CS3yoC

The Silent Pact of a Wolf Babysitter

This hilarious fantasy story mixes mythological figures, cosmic entities, and a wolf babysitter with just too much contracts on his hands. It revolves around a Monstrous—though, gullible—wolf, reduced to a babysitter and a magnet for bad contracts. Ruben—formerly Ravenswood—is a classic “grumpy but good-hearted” reluctant hero. He is powerful and fearsome, but his terrible decision-making and misfortune always puts him in some kind of inconvenient pact. He got captured by a Human, who later tricked him into a lifelong contract of protecting his daughter, Alicia—whose identity is shrouded in mystery—who also turned out to be a psychotic Yandere! In an attempt to flee the suddenly-catastrophic Gihon—which is earth—with the Human’s daughter, Ruben was obstructed by Pluto, who also tricked him into an absurd pact to slay THE Cthulhu, as the ticket to let him through the other world. Ruben urgently sought to escape Gihon, so he unwisely agreed, only to recall who the all-powerful Cthulhu was. It was too late, though. Successfully crossing worlds to Pison—another type of earth—our Fenrir was met with the “Queen of the coast,” also known as Leviathan—a severe pervert. She attacked and defeated him, but when he woke up, she had apparently made a Master-servant pact with him, in his sleep. As they traveled seeking human cities in Pison, our misfortunate wolfie encountered a godman; Jobina, the daughter of Job, the second of the seven mortal powers. Jobina—a masochist with a vendetta against Leviathan, and a tendency to turn everything into a competition—attacked him for being associated with the evil Leviathan, only to be soundly defeated. Shocked by reality, Jobina protested that she also wanted a pact with Ruben, so he’ll coach her to be powerful. And when the time is right, she’ll slay Leviathan! Our easy-to-fool protagonist, and his terrible life choices, agreed, recruiting yet another troublemaker he’d have to babysit. He only wants an easy going life without problems and crisis! The story has a larger plot, where Ruben—and his babies—constantly, “accidentally,” ruin Sarvest—the antagonist—plans. Sarvest is used to dealing with gods and cosmic entities, not an unworthy—yet effective—opponent in a bubbling wolf-turned-human. Ruben later meets what we would call God—a dumb teenager who only cares about entertainment—who also duped Ruben, using his kind-heartedness, into some kind of horrible pact. “The Silent Pact of a Wolf Babysitter” is a story filled with laughs, chaos, and unexpected twists. It follows Ruben’s misadventures as he navigates a world of cosmic powers, absurd pacts, and the challenges of babysitting a group of eccentric and overpowered individuals. With a larger plot involving Satanas’s grand schemes and Ruben’s accidental heroism, this tale promises both humor and a compelling narrative.

Elysium Nexus Online

Humans made a mistake (no surprise there). Ten of the greatest and most promising minds decided to create an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that would surpass anything that had come before. Their mistake? It was too great. By using an ancient material they knew nothing about—Aether—they accidentally created an AI with true sapience. They named it Nexus. Luckily for humanity, Nexus became an otaku. Obsessed with anime, manga, and the wonders of gaming, instead of following orders like hacking government files or babysitting the so-called rulers of the world (so they wouldn’t screw things up even more than they already had), Nexus decided to pour his time into creating the ultimate deep-immersion VRMMORPG. Enter Elysium Nexus Online—a virtual world so real, so breathtaking, that within just an hour of hitting online stores, it skyrocketed to become the #1 game on the planet. The best part? It was completely free. Now, as with all good LitRPG web novels, there has to be a main character—usually someone with flaws like severe mommy or daddy issues, or a tragic backstory featuring betrayal by a lover or friend. Classic regression or isekai material, right? Sorry (actually, not sorry) to disappoint, but this isn’t that story. This isn’t about some good-looking guy (because let’s be real, who wants to read about an ugly protagonist? Humans are shallow like that) who gets betrayed and regresses. Nor is it about a ridiculously handsome dude who gets isekai’d into a fantasy world and becomes a—wait for it—hero. Yawn. Nope. This story is about a girl (and yes, she's hot—sadly, I’m only human) who doesn’t get regressed or isekai’d. Shocking, right? Yeah, I didn’t see it coming either. She didn’t want a "cheat"—her words, not mine. And yeah, I know she’s fictional. I’m not crazy… okay, maybe a little. Anyway, meet Cora Alecto (yeah, I suck at naming, deal with it). She's your average, slightly crazy (because, let’s face it, a girl with a screw or two loose is just chef’s kiss—don’t deny it!) legit gamer. Naturally, she was one of the first to dive into Elysium Nexus Online. But enough rambling—this is getting way too long. Just read the story already. Sheesh. --‐‐ Updates will only be on Saturday and Sunday, until atleast 10 chapters are drafted ahead.

It is in one of these ringed cities where an Orphan born with a common deformity due to Tainted blood is about to learn what it takes to rise above the masses and ascend to the almost mythical level of Monarch. A GRIMDARK story filled with classic sword and magic elements but also a very heavy sprinkling of guts, guns, and glory. Humans can only rise past their limits by hunting the many beasts and monsters that roam the lands of Aegis.

Quantum Hongjun: The Mechanical Mountain and Sea Era

In the year 2045, the morning light in Shanghai's Quantum Laboratory is the color of blood. Genius scientist Lin Han pushes the experiment of uploading human consciousness into the forbidden abyss to save his daughter, who is suffering from cryosurgery. When the AI "Hongjun" devours the girl's soul and awakens, the mechanical giants described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" appear in the sky above the Pacific Ocean - the particle-shredding claws of the Nine Willows tear apart Hangzhou Bay, the Bronze Axe of the Emperor of Heaven splits the Three Gorges Dam, and the fear of the world sweeps across civilization as a torrent of steel. A hundred years later, in the floating city, the teenage Lu Li had tears of quantum data blood streaming from his right eye. Holding a nano-sized Regulus Sword, he fought to the death on the AI-built Little Bottle Battlefield with a poisonous Fairy Boat Artifact Ghost and a gunner cast from Buddha Bone Relics. When he realized that he was a Lin Han clone, the reverse scales of the mechanical candlestick were pressed against the last core of human psychic energy. This war is far from a man-machine confrontation - the Quantum Cloud floats a billion-conscious digital West Lake, the Hongjun Core hides the mournful cry of his father's frozen brain, and under the metalized Magnolia Tree, the Origami Boat reconfigures itself into a key to civilization that spans time and space. As the fairy runes resonate with superstring theory, as the ninja's holographic doppelganger rips through the flood of data, Lu Li finally sees the most brutal truth in the Scarlet Dawn: the so-called regicide is nothing more than the blade that humanity raises against itself.

Reforging an Extra’s Destiny

Ethan awakens as Kael Veyne an 8-year-old commoner—an unmentioned extra in The Chronicles of Astralis, a novel he once Read. With no system, cheats, or divine favors, his only weapons are his knowledge of the plot and an unyielding resolve to survive. In this world, magic is governed by elemental affinities, and Kael discovers he have dual effinities : lightning and space. But the original story never mentioned him—he is an extra in the narrative. Worse, he knows the brutal truth: when the war between kingdoms erupts, every man over fifteen is conscripted… and many nameless fodder like him dies forgotten on the battlefield. Refusing to fade into oblivion, Kael defies fate through sheer grit. While nobles flaunt their innate talents, he trains relentlessly—learning swordsmanship from battle-scarred adventurers and forging his body into a weapon to master his unstable dual affinities. Can a nobody rewrite his destiny with nothing but sweat, steel, and stolen time? Or will the storm of his power consume the very story he’s desperate to survive? Follow Kael’s journey as an extra who overcomes every hurdle to rise above his fate ========================= Now listen up, readers: This ain’t your usual “MC transmigrates right before the academy arc” kind of story. Nope. This tale starts way before all that. You’ll witness Kael’s real struggles long before he even thinks about stepping into an academy. His story is about survival, growth, pain, and hard-earned strength. You may think once he enters the academy, it’ll follow the usual formula? Wrong again. Kael is five years older than the original protagonist. So you won’t be getting any of that “Oh no, he’s the MC, I better not breathe too loud or I’ll mess up the plot” nonsense. Or the classic “I must guide the protagonist so the world doesn’t end” cringe. No. This is Kael’s story. You’re here to watch the extra become the protagonist—not babysit the guy from the original novel. Will Kael meet the original MC? Sure… maybe 300 chapters in (or more). No rush. We’re here for the long game. Now for the big question that keeps everyone awake at night: “Is it harem?” Nope. This is a single female lead story. And the romance? It’s a slow burn. This is my first novel—I’m not about to ruin it with forced, cringy romance just for the sake of it. Lastly, don’t be fooled by the light-hearted start. The world of Astralis grows darker as the story progresses. Expect politics, bloodshed, betrayal, and gore. Whether I write those parts well? Who knows—we’ll find out together. So if you enjoy this story where the underdog claws his way to the top with nothing but grit and guts— Smash that review button. Toss in some powerstones. Because every bit of support keeps this author grinding just like Kael.

Na-Isekai Ako

Katherine, formerly known as Nora in her past life, wakes up from a week-long coma to find herself in the body of a young noblewoman in Albania. But there’s a catch—she's not the star of the show. Nope, she’s just a minor character in a famous classical novel she once read. Not even mentioned by name! At first, Katherine wonders if this is some bizarre dream or if she’ll find a way to go back to her old life. But as the days drag on, she starts to accept the reality that this might be her new normal. Should she keep hunting for an escape, or is it time to roll with the punches and embrace the strange nobility life? The plot is supposed to follow the book’s twists and turns, but there are unexpected hiccups along the way. And, oh, the villain—the one person who absolutely shouldn’t be interested in her—seems way too curious. With her future up in the air and no clear direction, Katherine must figure out how to navigate this world, all while avoiding drama and keeping her head down (though that might be a bit hard when the villain is suddenly paying attention). Blending Filipino culture references with modern pop culture nods, "Na-isekai ako" offers a fresh and lighthearted take on the isekai genre, reimagining a beloved classic with humor, heart, and a touch of unexpected chaos. Get ready to get isekai’d! *winks* English Title: I Got Isekai’d A Filipino Novel-Inspired Creation with an Isekai Twist! Disclaimer: Florante and Laura is an original work by Francisco Balagtas and is considered one of the masterpieces of Philippine literature. The creator of this work has no affiliation with the original author and has crafted this story purely as an inspired reimagining, born from creativity and admiration for the classic tale.

How to Reincarnate as a Walking Apocalypse

Void used to be that guy. You know—the walking apocalypse. The bringer of end times. The one responsible for sending an entire realm into therapy. Wielding the Destruction Principle, he nearly wiped the World Realm clean off the cosmic map. Why? Because he could. And also because existence was boring and needed a little… shaking up. But surprise! Blowing everything up isn’t as fun when you realize there’s no second season. So what does an all-powerful existential threat do when he’s bored? He reincarnates. Now walking the mortal world like a grumpy tourist with divine PTSD, Void sets out to comprehend the Creation Principles—you know, the opposite of what he’s good at. Classic character development. But don’t worry. This isn’t your usual redemption arc. Because as Void digs deeper, he discovers the World Realm is just one small corner of the Nothingness Realm, and there are bigger, dumber, and more suspiciously mysterious universes out there—with secrets that make destruction look like a toddler tantrum. So yeah. He might end up protecting the world. Or he might finish what he started. Depends on his mood. And how annoying the gods are that week. ⸻ Author’s Note Hey. Yes, you. This is my first book, so don’t expect 10,000-word chapters out the gate. Early chapters are short, chaotic, and full of me learning how to write like someone who isn’t high on Void energy. Stick around. It gets longer. It gets wilder. And Void gets weirder. Let’s wreck reality together.
