Dans un multivers longtemps marqué par les guerres entre dieux et créatures cosmiques, une légende demeure : celle du Seigneur des Calamités, Léviathan, une entité absolue, si puissante qu’elle transforma les guerres en simple jeu de survie pour les dieux eux-mêmes. Mais un jour, Léviathan disparut volontairement, effaçant jusqu’à son propre concept, offrant enfin la paix à toutes les dimensions. Des milliards d'années plus tard, dans un monde où les assaillants, les héros et les nations coexistent sous un équilibre fragile, un jeune homme originaire de Beniria — un pays ou vivent des noirs très déteste par certains états — débarque à Mistralia en tant que simple touriste : Akyra Jiru. Akyra semble désintéressé de tout. Il voyage, découvre, boit du lait, explore les villes et ignore ouvertement les regards hostiles ou les insultes raciales. Mais derrière ce masque tranquille se cache un pouvoir hors normes, un fragment vivant du Seigneur des Calamités. Lorsque des menaces surgissent et que les héros peinent à protéger les civils, Akyra entre en scène… sans fanfare, sans costume, juste en posant son verre et en se levant calmement. Personne ne sait qui il est vraiment. Certains disent qu'il est un monstre, d'autres un dieu déchu. Lui ? Il se définit simplement comme un touriste en quête de tranquillité. Mais peut-on vraiment échapper à son propre passé quand on porte en soi l’écho d’une Calamité ?

read the first 10 chapter, and you will like it!!! In a world where every 18-year-old is granted a noble title and a domain, Reed was never meant to rule. Born in the slums, he survived by stealing, killing, and doing whatever it took to stay alive. The world despised him, and he despised it back. But when the Day of Lords arrived, fate played its cruelest trick yet. Goblin Lord. The weakest possible domain. The most pathetic summons. A rank that was practically a death sentence. But Reed doesn’t care. He never played by the rules before, and he won’t start now. Given absolute authority over his first Hero—a deadly and completely loyal goblin woman named Shia—he embraces his title with ruthless efficiency. There are no rules he won’t break, no enemies he won’t kill, and no limits to how far he’ll rise. If the world thinks it can laugh at him, it’s in for a nightmare. Because the Lord of the Forsaken doesn’t bow to fate. He breaks it.

Evan Smith never imagined war. As a blacksmith’s son, he was a quiet boy from a quiet village, content to live his days without venturing beyond home. But when the empire’s banners turned inward and enemy boots crossed the border, his village became nothing more than a battleground between two merciless forces. Families disappeared. Silence replaced food. Soldiers, both foreign and familiar, came not as protectors but as plunderers. There were no heroes or rebels, only commands to obey… or graves to fill. With nothing left to bury and no place left to flee, Evan embarks on a journey he never wanted — through war camps, ravaged towns, and dark forests, searching for something even he doesn’t fully understand: a reason to keep going. What he discovers is a truth no child should ever face — The world’s cruelty doesn’t come from monsters, but from men. In a land where hope is forbidden and justice forgotten, Darkness Beyond follows one overlooked life through the slow, suffocating death of peace, questioning whether an ordinary boy can still decide what kind of man he will become… when all the light has vanished.

In the world of Gran Turin, where mana flows through every being and power is measured by the stars that adorn one’s soul, one man refuses to accept his fate. Born of noble blood yet cast aside in shame, he endured the scorn of those who deemed him unworthy—a pale shadow of a once-proud house. But the spark of vengeance burned in his heart. Harnessing the ancient arts of mana, he delved deep into the forbidden secrets of magic, seeking the power that would make the world bow before him. Each spell, each fragment of mana he claimed was another step on his path of retribution. His goal was not to reclaim his name alone, but to eclipse the might of kings and mages alike. Lightning crackles along his frame, and the black sword he wields pulses with power. No longer a pawn, he is the master of his own destiny. He will not stop until the world itself kneels to him, for in the ashes of his humiliation, he has forged an unbreakable resolve. This is the tale of a man who would become more than mortal. This is the story of The Dark Lord’s Rebirth—a conquest of vengeance and the rise of a new King of the World. ______ If you want to see a noble MC, this is not for you.

Mystery is the nourishment that keeps me from being ordinary. It has been 20 years since he came to a world similar to the modern European background. With his early wisdom, Fei Lin learned a skill and finally became a decent person. Originally he thought that he would marry a wife and have children and live this life in a dull way, but found that there is another world under the shadow of the world. In that world, there are occultists who practice esoteric techniques and master extraordinary powers. It is weird to spy on humans in the dark and feed on humans. There are evil believers who worship the evil, please the evil through bloody sacrifices, and exchange power from the evil god. There is an evil existence who wanders outside the world, peeps at the world, and only infiltrates the power of scales and claws, which is enough to cause people to fall. With the mystery as nourishment, he is no longer ordinary after 20 years of ordinary.

He woke up from a deep slumber. He was trapped for a long time. Now that he has awaken in someone else's body, he faced a life he was never prepared for. Can he survive?

In a world where survival is dictated by The Veil, an ancient force that selects unwilling souls for its brutal trials, death is often a mercy. Those who fail are erased. Those who endure return changed—feared, hunted, and burdened with power. Hope was never meant to be among them. A scavenger scraping by in the lawless outskirts, he lived by one rule: stay unnoticed, stay alive. He had no grand ambitions, no thirst for strength—only the will to see another day. But when The Veil marks him, he is cast into The Ashlands, a realm where nightmares take form, and survival means facing horrors beyond comprehension. Armed with nothing but his cunning, Hope fights to stay alive. He has no allies, no faith in heroics—only desperation. But when he survives his first trial, he is granted something far more dangerous than mere strength—the power of the God of Darkness. A force that does not only obey him, but watches, whispers, and waits.

The world of super humans. People with superpowers. There are 5 types, Power, Speed, Mind, Endurance, and Sensory. Vagrant was a type that did not fall really under any of these 5. Our MC holds the power of a Sensory Type, considered the weakest and only useful for support and scouting. A darkness erupts though, causing world-wide panic and destruction. Everyone is suddenly granted a system during the first series of dangers, what would later come to be known as 'Beast Breaks'. Authors Note: Chapter release will be very erratic. Don't expect too much either. Just a guy killing time. So keep it in your pants and don't sweat the details. It's a web novel book not the next big thing.
