Is Sao Progressive Same As

Cliche. Another monster progression story. That was probably what you thought when you read the title of my story. And, I can't lie, for the most part, it probably is. But, what else am I supposed to do when I've been thrusted into a world that could kill me in an instant? There's nothing to do but to progress, to devour and evolve. You would do the same too. Such is the basis of a monster. Such is the right of any living being. So that's what I did. I ate, I killed and I hoarded anything I could get my big limbs on. Friendship, allies and love? There used to be a little god calling himself "Heaven's Equal" who spouted of such things, before I ate him. The world went pretty quiet after that. Follow my story. Read for yourself how I evolved from a little monster in a lake I thought was the ocean, all the way into the Titan Of Destruction. What To Expect: - A relatively quick progression story - Ruthless, I mean - Fang Yuag levels - of ruthless protagonist. - A system? that grows stronger along with the protagonist - Big Monsters Duking It Out, with minimal humans/beastmen/elves, etc. . .focus. Basically, monsterverse without annoying ass humans ruining the show. - Did I mention that the protagonist was pretty evil?

A boy, transmigrates & is reborn into a turbulent world, gaining the inheritance of a Mystical Cultivation Senior. He finds himself as the son of a once-noble father, cast out from his clan and stripped of lineage in the Republic of Kratos. Given enough time he would surely follow the footsteps of the Inheritor & he could rise above the ranks, seize control of his illusory Immortal fate, and carve his name into history. But Destiny has other plans for him. He lacks time for growth. This world, an era of cultivating magic and ancient mysteries, is healing from the scars of the Hundred-Year Great World War. Yet beneath the calm & peace-loving surface, storms brew. Spirit energies surge, heralding the dawn of a New Era. Hidden orthodoxies long shrouded in secrecy bare their fangs, secular powerhouses grasp desperately at the fleeting hope of Sole unification of Nashirah, and the devils of the Sith Paths weave their vast, insidious net. Even the remnants of defeated forces stir, waiting for rebellion. Meanwhile, weaker states, like the fractured kingdoms & Republics, scramble for mere survival. In this chaotic land of Nashirah, even the Immortal-level Mages find themselves racing against time. Amidst these tides of destiny, Sargon must forge his path. Who will stand by him as allies, and who will rise against him as enemies? What trials, tribulations, and opportunities will shape his journey? As the World of Rivers and Lakes of this world churn with strife, one question remains: Can Sargon, with the fleeting time he possesses, grasp the elusive path to immortality?"

[Action/Science Fantasy/Battle Academy] Updating daily through Arc 1 One hundred years ago, being diagnosed with the "affliction" was the kiss of death. Whether by mutation or firing squad, Linnaeans lived notoriously tragic lives. The few that lived suffered from irreversible mutations. These creatures, few as they were, inspired legends of werewolves, mermaids, and sirens. Then came the treatments for the Linnaean affliction. The discovery of temporary gene repression meant that the development of mutations could be slowed and managed. This created an "unholy" new race that shared the DNA of both humans and animals. Feared and hated by the outside world, they created a stronghold to develop their medicines and amass their power. Today, Linnaeans from all over the continent live in the City of Mendel and train under the renowned Professor Corax, a brilliant and eccentric geneticist. Just before her eighteenth birthday, Ember is diagnosed with the affliction. Suddenly, instead of moving into her dorms and studying with the brightest in the country, she is whisked off to the City of Mendel by government officials who are as scared of her as she is of them. As she contends with a new city and her own treatment, she'll also have to face the tension of the half-baked treaty between the Linnaean people and the outside world. There's no doubt - life won't be easy in a city where the population is able to harness the abilities (and instincts) of animals. ----------------------------------------------------- Also available on Royal Road, Scribblehub, and Spacebattles Forum.

Only a little over a thousand players have ever reached the final boss, and just 96 managed to defeat it. Damian, the 96th player to conquer Beasts & Demons, thought the "[Start the real game. Y/N]" popup was a hidden secret mode. But when he clicked "Yes," he was dragged into the game’s world. Now, 300 years have passed since the game’s timeline. Player characters, once hailed as heroes from another world in the game's lore, are hunted as demonic heretics, and monsters overrun the world. In this harsher, deadlier version of Beasts & Demons, Damian must navigate a world even more hostile than the one he knew, and this time, there are no second chances.

Edward Harding was supposed to be nothing more than a mob character for an otome game known as Doki Doki Magical Love! (*Author cringing SFX*), but due to an accident, he started having headaches that unwillingly gave him weird and mysterious knowledge, that he couldn't comprehend at all. With that more than often useless knowledge in hand, lack of sleep, and good ol' ad-libbing, he would go on to accidentally mess with the game's story and its pacing. The concept is self-explanatory, and I don't think anything else needs to be said about it. It was already published on Wattpad, mostly because I didn't know how many chapters I would end up writing, and now that it's past the 10 chapters mark, I'll be publishing here from now on as well.

Hello! I am Lucian, or in this life Kenneth Des Velezerk.  I was a normal university-going student in my previous life and I was having the time of my life. I had a beautiful girlfriend, good grades, and an easy side job that made me decent money and I could care for my family. Everything was great. But, I was too much of a party animal. And, I think I probably died from alcohol poisoning, because drinking alcohol with my friends is the last memory of my previous life that I have. But, god gifted me with a second life. That too as the youngest son of the only grand duke of the kingdom. I took over Kenneth's body at the same age when I died, 21.  Being the youngest with 3 elder brothers is a blessing. I get all the fun and no responsibilities. Or so I thought. If I hadn't read the novel, I for sure would have enjoyed my life. But with a crown prince who is a ticking time bomb, I can't help but worry for my family.  My brother, chasing after the female lead, will challenge the crown prince and soon get framed for treason in a well-thought-through plan curated by the crown prince.  If I want to live, I must keep my brother away from the crown prince and the female lead. But... unexpected twists keep catching me off guard.... Why is the crown prince in love with me ?!

A remake of another novel I created. Kazuki Takumi Amagiri was always a kid with a troubling life, abusive parents, poverty, being bullied at school you know the usual sob story that probably goes in a documentary for the early life of a serial killer or something. Throughout his life he's always wondered if maybe the reason world hates him was because he had the audacity to exist. But through a series of events he met his best friend and was introduced to a series of games where he found his spark of resilience to carry on in life in a character named Markus one of the main antagonists of the book. And ten years later he's a university student, dormmates with his best friend and is just about to finish getting his degrees. He'd also just finished playing the third installment in a his favorite video game franchise All was going well in life, things were looking up until in one cruel twist it was over, no fanfare, no "going out with a bang", Kazuki's life just fizzled out like a candle in the wind. Curiously though, Kazuki's story was not over as he found himself in the body of "Markus" at the start of his story. How will this strangely ironic twist of fate change the world at large? And more importantly how will it change our main character?

Osias wanted nothing more than to… live. Was such a wish too audacious to desire? Were the blood-born destined to live such tragic tales? Why, why did it feel as though he was forced to either bleed himself or spill the blood of others to live? Enough… he had enough. A pair of blood-born brothers were all that was left from the fallen Band of the Red Sky. Detestable blood-borns, vile spawn who were to be eradicated off the face of the Wailing Chain. So the Three Factions put aside their feuds in order to slaughter them all. Yet Osias and Kiran still live despite this — they still move forward to escape, fight, and survive as they are pursued. Alone, these two ghosts of a dreadful Band of blood born that flooded the south in blood will bide their time as they carry on the Path of Blood, inheriting all that was entrusted to them. The Wailing Chain was theirs for the taking. The Three Factions will suffer for what they’ve done to them. Armies will spill enough blood to raise a sea in the wake of the brothers' resentment. But not yet. The world wouldn’t bleed until Osias and Kiran obtained the strength required to do so. ----------------- What to expect: • Blood Powers • Dark Fantasy-esque • Wars, Armies, Power Progression • No System • Cruel, Grim World (First Chapter is enough…) • Smidges of romance • Anti-Hero Prog (Spoiler - nears villain) *The world of BTTVE has A LOT of secrets and plans that are not made available to the reader upfront. Try to enjoy the path to the answers - there's going to be a lot that you don't understand at first because there's a lot Osias doesn't know about the new world he's in! Also sorry for the POV changes in the first few chapters… the setting calls for it, there isn’t much to the beginning if we read it entirely from a cripple’s perspective.

In a world invaded by portals to other worlds, some humans obtained a power called System, which allowed them to level up and become stronger. Now a new career existed: the Adventurer, one who ventures into these portals to complete quests given by the System.

Any constructive criticism is appreciated. If you find this book disgusting, well...
