Once Upon A Time Baby

Feared by minds. Whispered by gods. And known only by those who’ve died too many times to remember. It has no beginning. No end. It simply... is. But even infinity can tremble. From the rift between realities, John awakens. His soul — cursed, or perhaps blessed — bears an unholy burden: A monstrous infant that breathes, thinks... and watches. A second will. A second hunger. To live, he must grow. To survive, he must fight. To reign... He must become what even the abyss refuses to name.

Meet Alex Knight, a hardworking young man burdened by crushing debt and a bleak future. When his new boss turns his life into a waking nightmare, Alex finds himself trapped in a job he can't escape, his future held hostage by the whims of a tyrant. Just when he believes he has one anchor left—his girlfriend's love—a devastating betrayal leaves him utterly broken. But then the world changes. The system descends, dragging everyone into a chaotic new reality. Alex becomes the first to sync with it, earning a mysterious title: [Apocalypse Baby] [You have awakened the skill: Exploding Touch] [Anything you touch turns into a bomb.] Armed with a deadly gift, Alex rises from the ashes of his former life to become an unstoppable force in an urban fantasy world where power rules and vengeance drives him forward. Author’s Note: This story is about a man who loses everything—his freedom, his love, his sense of self—before the world itself collapses into chaos. Alex isn't a stoic hero who shrugs off pain. He feels it, breaks under it, and then rebuilds from the wreckage. Some readers might call him dramatic. And they're right—this isn't a power fantasy about a flawless protagonist. It’s about a man clawing his way back with explosive power, raw emotion, and zero filters. If you're into emotionally intense underdogs who explode (literally and metaphorically), welcome to the ride.

The transmigrator wondered why he transmigrated into villain's baby form, can he even survive this crappy world until he reaches his 18th birthday so he can kill the protagonist?

They say war takes a piece of you. For him, it took everything — and gave something else in return. In a war-torn future where humanity clings to survival across shattered worlds, a single fireteam wages a desperate retreat from the alien force known as the Upyr — a biomechanical species that doesn’t kill its enemies… it repurposes them. When a mission goes sideways, the unnamed protagonist is left behind, captured, and dragged into the nightmare of an Upyr research facility. There, beneath black suns and sterile lights, he becomes the subject of grotesque experiments: his body flayed, remade, and fused with invasive alien technology — not as a soldier, but as a prototype. Implanted with the Carrion Fork — a living nanite weapon — and sheathed in Wraithskin stealth armor, he emerges as something no longer human. Memories blur, identity fragments, and purpose becomes a ghost. But he remembers one thing: his name was once spoken with love. And the ones who left him behind? They're still out there. Still fighting. Now, hunted by the Upyr and feared by the species he once protected, he must decide if there’s enough left of him to save anything — or if the monster they built is all that remains.

She killed on stage… and the curtains never closed. Lilith never wanted the spotlight. But when a blade found its way into her hand during the academy’s grandest theater performance, and blood painted the stage red, the world saw her for what she truly was. Or… what they forced her to become. Now transported into a realm that feels more like a cruel joke than a second chance, Lilith finds herself under the watchful eyes of a cold knight commander and a golden emperor with secrets far darker than their crowns. In this twisted fantasy where survival is a performance and everyone wears a mask, Lilith must decide: Will she play the role of a pawn? Or write her own bloody script?

Was a story once, not anymore and since I can't delete, this is the best I can do.

A deeply introverted girl, invisible to most of her classmates, drifts quietly through high school without friendships or attention. But college brings her freedom, strange connections, and a chance for her to either open up or retreat even deeper into herself.

In a quiet town cloaked in rain and routine, a girl who rarely speaks stumbles upon a strange, forgotten book hidden in her attic. Its pages whisper fragments of a tale long buried—a story of monsters sealed underground, a child who fell, and a truth twisted by time. But many pages are missing. Gaps in memory. Pieces of a puzzle the world wants to forget. Compelled by the mystery and driven by a need she can’t explain, the girl sets out for the legendary Mount Ebott—the last known gateway to the Underground. One stormy night, she watches the mountain from afar, unable to shake the feeling that something is calling her. The next morning, she quietly leaves her home and begins her journey, alone. At the entrance to the Underground, she meets a robed figure with no face—a man who seems to know more than he says. He warns her not to continue, to turn back before the story repeats itself. But when she refuses to leave, he offers her the one thing she’s never had: the truth.

After dying from overwork, a lonely man is given a second chance-in another man's body, with a loving family he never had. As he learns to live in this new world, he discovers warmth, connection, and the meaning of being loved. A heartfelt tale of redemption and quiet healing.

She brought her baby and lived a leisurely and rich life in the post-apocalyptic era. Right, she had to find the baby's father. She couldn't possibly let the baby be born without a father, right? Thus, she brought her child onto the road to find her father. She thought that her baby's father would have a miserable life in the post-apocalyptic era. However, what she did not expect was that her child's father was actually a hidden big shot. Not only was he doing better than her, but he had also established a new human settlement and became a king-like existence. ""From now on, you two will be under my protection,"" the man said as he hugged her domineeringly. ""Well, from the looks of it, she doesn't have to worry about the good stuff in her space being stolen anymore."""
