A world filled with swords, magic, and a kingdom embroiled in war. Immediately upon arrival, the class is asked to help a Human Kingdom win the ongoing war against a Demon King's forces. Only once victory is secured would it be possible for them to return home. Not all were swayed by the Kingdom's desperate pleas, however. Christopher Monty, a lifelong skeptic and skilled academic, wanted out before he was dragged into someone else’s mess. Disdaining his gullible former classmates, he began laying plans to escape and live out the rest of his days in this new world on his own terms. Using the cheat-like skills given to him by his transmigration and his unique Monster Tamer job, he will gather and train female monsters to help him escape. Once free, he’ll evolve his tamed monsters into human-like monster girls called Xenos, and fulfill his fantasy dream of building a monster girl harem. Life might not be easy in an alternate reality filled with magic, but Chris isn’t afraid to play dirty to achieve his goals and learn to thrive on the fantasy world of Lanka as the ruler of Xenos monsters, the first ever Xeno King.

Deep in the Void a universe called the Dream Universe made up of planets called the Realms. A place where all those who cultivate and who strive to ascend into Cosmic God status is the goal. Here the Dream Universe is governed by a Cosmic being known simply as the World. The World crowns kings to rule and chooses only those with the potential to join the Primordial regime. Every hundred years each who are crowned are given something called the King's Test. Since the World does not personally take part in this test they summon a champion from the Realms with the same potentials as the Kings. They are King Slayer warriors with strong power and skill chosen to either die showing a king's potential, or kill the king to make way for a new one. This particular test is different. This is an eradication of King's who have abused power and caused strife among the realms erupting into a civil war. The newest King Slayer is one who is not only powerful, but carries a Thread of Necessity with a destiny to bring great change to the Realms. All the World wants is for the wicked Kings to fall and clean the slate. The King Slayer wants power and freedom. But both don’t realize how different this Test will be. Author Note: First volume I throw you into the story. I wrote it where it builds and the world around it builds as it goes along. You learn the back story of the Slayer in volume 2. I wanted to stand out and immerse you into the world I’m creating.

Lenora, an orphaned omega, has always known her place: at the bottom of the pack, toiling away in the kitchen while enduring constant insults. Headstrong and unyielding, she often speaks up for what is right—earning her the ire of her packmates, especially the ruthless Lycan King, Jax, and his confidante, Claire. On her twenty-first birthday, Lenora’s life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers that Jax is her fated mate. But instead of joy, the revelation brings humiliation.

Haunted by his actions, Jax tries to bring Lenora back, but she is no longer the omega he once disregarded. Found and manipulated by Jax's estranged brother, Luke—a vengeful outcast—Lenora must navigate a web of lies, uncovering truths about her mate and the dark secrets that threaten to tear the pack apart. As power struggles ignite and betrayal cuts deep, Lenora must rise above the chaos to protect what remains of her heart and her pack. But when love and revenge collide, will Lenora and Jax find their way back to each other, or will their bond be forever broken?

What is the meaning of life? I don't know. Does my life have meaning? I don't know. Is someone writing a story so cruelly? I don't know either. I'm too tired, no matter how many times this world gives me a chance to live. * * * Who am I, Awaii?

In the year 3147 the Roman Imperium had finally achieved its goal of colonizing its own corner of the galaxy. Unlike in our own world the Rome of this one never fell, but instead grew to encompass the whole of the earth, and overtime spread itself, and humanity, among the stars. Yet even with the marvelous advancements in technology, healthcare, welfare, and every other category required for a thriving society. There is still one roman tradition that refuses to die. GLADIATORS!! And we should all be glad for it, because during the year 3149, just two years after the long and exhausting colonization campaigns were ended, mankind learned that it was not alone in the galaxy, let alone the universe. It had just stepped onto a much bigger stage where entire planets and even star systems were used as bargaining chips in universal gladiator games. Wars on a galactic scale are far too destructive to simply be allowed, if left unchecked the vast majority of life in the universe would cease to be. Therefore each race recognized by the galactic or universal council (it changes depending on the scale of the race itself) must submit champions or gladiators to represent them in the games. The winners gain unfathomable rewards, the losers perish or worse have their entire species enslaved. Please join our hero as he embarks upon his own perilous journey as a lanista, will he rise above the masses, or fall like so many others before him? Or perhaps his own latent gifts may bring him to a height, or depth hitherto unexplored by any before.

In a world where magic is the cornerstone of power and society, Kael, a humble apprentice, struggles to find his place amidst the rigid hierarchies of noble families and their arcane schools. But when his small village falls under attack by rogue mages, Kael’s latent powers awaken in a spectacular—and dangerous—fashion. Marked by destiny and wielding an ancient relic, the Crown of Arcana, he is thrust into the heart of a prophecy foretelling the rise of the Arcane King. Hunted by inquisitors and feared by noble factions, Kael embarks on a harrowing journey of discovery, gathering allies as varied as a cunning thief with a secret past, a disgraced knight searching for redemption, and a mysterious mage with ties to the prophecy. Together, they uncover the shadowy force behind the instability in their world: the Veil, an ancient organization intent on enslaving magic itself. As Kael’s power grows, so does the weight of his responsibility. Leading a rebellion against a corrupt magical order, he must navigate betrayal, loss, and the Crown’s dark influence. With every battle fought and alliance forged, Kael inches closer to fulfilling his destiny—but at what cost? As the final confrontation looms, Kael must confront not only his enemies but also the darker truths about his powers, the prophecy, and the sacrifices required to forge a new era. Will he emerge as the savior the world needs, or will he be consumed by the very magic he seeks to master? The Arcane King is an epic tale of power, destiny, and sacrifice, weaving intricate magic systems, complex characters, and breathtaking battles into a saga that will leave readers spellbound.

Upon awakening, Dev finds himself inhabiting the body of Conrad Valor in a world far different from his own. His mysterious reincarnation takes an even stranger turn when he encounters a young woman who addresses him as "Lord" – though he has no memory of such a title. As Dev navigates this new reality, he uncovers dark secrets and horrifying truths that lie beneath its surface. Each revelation brings him closer to understanding his role in a fate that could reshape reality itself. Expectations: - Slow Burn story - A protagonist's compelling growth from vulnerability to strength - A vast, intricately crafted world with deep lore - An innovative power system that encourages reader speculation - Romance - Secretive organizations with hidden in shadows - A blend of mystery and horror elements - Powerful emotional moments I started writing this because I wanted to create a world and a power system that captures the awe of the supernatural in a way that transcends human comprehension. Much like how, in our own universe, we may never uncover all its mysteries, I wanted to tell a story that inspires countless theories—none of which offer a definitive answer to the truth. That idea grew and evolved into The Eye Behind Mist. If you decide to join me on this journey, thank you! I’m having a lot of fun creating this, and I hope you’ll enjoy it just as much. ***Warning: This is a work of fiction intended for mature audiences. It is set in a dark and violent world, with scenes that may evoke discomfort in readers—this is intentional.

Born from a celestial rock that fell to the center of the world, three men rise to shape a civilization destined for ruin. Kaelus, a cunning manipulator, bends truth to his will, seeking to rule through deception. Orus, blinded by faith, clings to a belief in unity, even as it crumbles around him. Dagon, a relentless enforcer, silences all who stand in his way, leaving fear and blood in his wake. Together, they build a mighty kingdom, their ambitions fueled by the mysterious Seraphyne, a woman whose presence binds them yet sows the seeds of their downfall. Betrayal fractures their unity, and each man claims a part of the kingdom, leading their followers into an age of conflict. As lies, blind faith, and brutality spiral into chaos, the land is consumed by war, betrayal, and despair. Towns burn, innocents perish, and hope becomes a fleeting shadow. With every move, the brothers tear apart what they once built, leaving only ashes in their pursuit of power. In this dark and tragic tale of ambition and loss, King of the Land explores the depths of human corruption, the weight of choices, and the devastating cost of dreams turned to ruin. For in the end, only the land remembers the folly of kings.

In the vast Nazare Blade Empire, ruled with an iron hand by Emperor Groa Aratat, there existed eight princes, each striving for recognition and power. Among them was Josh Aratat, the most obscure and least acknowledged of the emperor’s sons. Born of a mother who passed away when he was just a child, Josh grew up in the shadows of his more celebrated brothers, his heart burdened with loss and his life marked by solitude. One fateful day, Emperor Groa decreed a challenge: each of his sons was to venture into separate regions of the empire, conquer them, and win the loyalty of their people. The prince who demonstrated the greatest strength, strategy, and ability to amass supporters would be crowned the imperial prince—the heir to the throne. The empire buzzed with speculation. Most believed the title would go to the mighty firstborn, Balek Aratat, renowned for his unparalleled strength. Others placed their bets on the cunning second-born, Jaden Aratat, or the skilled third-born, Gerard Aratat. Few gave any thought to the younger sons, particularly the sixth to eighth—Josh included. In their eyes, he was merely a shadow, unworthy of mention in the race for the throne. But everything changed when Josh encountered a dying man, condemned to execution for the crime of stealing bread. Wracked with despair and tired of his own existence, Josh made a startling decision—he offered to take the man’s place, embracing what he thought would be his end. Yet, in an unexpected twist of fate, death did not claim him. Instead, Josh emerged from the ordeal with a newfound power—an extraordinary ability granted as a result of his selfless act. This gift would not only alter the course of his life but also shake the foundations of the Nazare Blade Empire and the world beyond.

　　Baek Yeon-ryung, male. 　　He was once involved in an extremely brutal murder case, and the victim was his only relative, his older brother, Bai Yanren. Ten years ago, the case had stirred up the entire Yecheng, not only because of the horrific state of Bai Yanren's death, but also because the person most suspected of committing the crime was only one of his own brother, Bai Yanliang. 　　The autopsy report found that Bai Yanren had been killed for a whole day, which meant that the young Bai Yanliang had been alone with the corpse for a day and a night. 　　No one knew what he had done or what he was thinking. 　　There was no sadness, no crying, no fear, and his face was expressionless. 　　His boyish face seemed to be wearing a lifelike mask, making it impossible to see the slightest emotion.

They cannot forget and their thirst for knowledge allows them to be considered a genius in some senses. Legend has it that Ji Yushi was this kind of genius.
