Hero In A Worn Out

2025 WSA ENTRY !!!! When Isaac opens his eyes, he finds neither eternal rest nor peaceful reincarnation... but a descent into hell.

Here, only enlightened hunters - graded from F to SS - have the power to confront these nightmarish creatures. The problem? Isaac is an F-rank, an orphan with no future, condemned to survive in the shadows of the strongest. But one night, everything changes. His spirit is torn from this world and plunged into another, a veritable hell where humanity is no more than a herd of slaves under the yoke of dragons. Tortured and broken, Isaac soon understands one thing: this other world isn't just a nightmare... it's a warning. As he fights for his life, a miracle occurs: an enigmatic system enables him to steal the power of the monsters he slays. [*Ding* Would you like to absorb the physical stats?] Weak yesterday, predator today, he has but one goal: to unravel the mysteries of both realities and crush those who would see him fail.

ZOYA was born into a world that never truly welcomed her. From the very beginning, her existence was met with disappointment—because she was a girl. Unlike other children, Zoya faced developmental challenges; she struggled to understand the world around her, found it difficult to speak clearly, and lacked the communication skills that others took for granted. For this, she was ignored, ridiculed, and treated like a shadow within her own home. But even in the darkness, Sanvi had a spark—she was brilliant in her studies. Slowly, silently, she began to grow. Yet, just as she stepped into school, life grew even crueler. She became a victim of relentless bullying, day after day. And she bore it all alone. Her fear of her abusive and violent family silenced her pain. She learned early on that speaking up only brought more hurt. Years passed. The wounds she hid never healed—but she kept walking forward, searching for something—perhaps love, perhaps peace. But fate had other plans. She fell for someone younger, a love the world would never understand. Meanwhile, tragedy struck her home in ways that shattered her soul. Still, Zoya refused to break. This is a haunting tale of a girl who was unloved, unheard, and unseen—yet dared to survive. Through betrayal, heartbreak, and loss, Sanvi’s journey is one of quiet strength, hidden battles, and the desperate hope that maybe, just maybe, she deserved more.

If I asked you, what does it mean to be a hero, how would you respond? Is it fighting to avenge people you've lost? Rescuing others when no one else can lend a hand? Sacrificing your body for people who don't even know your name? Is a hero anyone who is strong, flashy, prestigious, or loves beating up bad guys? The country is in utter chaos as heroes and villains fight for survival. Everyone in between has lost someone. And everyone has their own ideals for what it means to be a hero. The story continues with Rhett, a nobody with no powers except one that lets him experience death over and over again. Can he save the ones he loves? Can he be the hero he wanted to be?

"Why does everyone hate me. I never did anything wrong and still everyone hates me. Human and Gods all of them hate my, why why why Why! What did I do to deserve this". This question has always plagued Shin'en for as long as he could remembèr and becoming a hero not only made it worse but has invited hate even from the gods. He is a weeping soul, crying out to the cosmos at this cruel joke that was his life. Even in death when he is finally free, the universe will not let him rest and sends him back to be a burden of hate and rage.

"F**K! I'm dead!" That was the first word I muttered after regaining my memories from Earth. Reincarnating into a world of cultivation should’ve been a blessing. Adventure, immortality, power—what’s not to love? But then I remembered what my family did. My sister just broke off an engagement with a crippled young master—definitely a future protagonist. My mother ripped a Dao Bone from my cousin and gave it to me—guaranteed future revenge arc. And me? I’m already a third-rate villain: bullying weaklings and flaunting my Bai Clan name. Worst part? Despite the Dao Bone, I’m still trash at cultivation. My only hope? The System... which I’ve had for years. “I just never realized... It was in English!”

Content Warning: This novel contains graphic depictions of violence, gore, and explicit erotic scenes. Reader discretion is strongly advised. A storm was supposed to be nothing more than an inconvenience. When Zixuan and her friends take shelter in an abandoned bus station to escape the sudden downpour, they believe they’re simply waiting for the rain to pass. But as the hours stretch on and the exits vanish, it becomes clear that this station isn’t just deserted—it’s a trap. Doors begin to appear where there were none before. Strange, cold hallways beckon. Each door they open pulls them deeper into a maze of shifting realities and forgotten memories, forcing them to confront scenes from a past they don’t remember living—haunting echoes of pain, betrayal, desire, and death. As paranoia sets in and the group begins to unravel, Zixuan realizes the truth is more horrifying than she imagined: they have been here before. This place knows them. It remembers everything they tried to forget. And someone, or something is orchestrating each cruel revelation with precision. Why were their memories taken? What really happened here? And what will be left of them once every door is opened? Let Me Out is a visceral, mind-bending descent into trauma, guilt, and twisted desire—where the past won’t stay buried, and the only way out is through the truth they were never meant to forget—but then one of them broke the rule.

Victor Drake was a 23-year-old kendo prodigy with a dream: to become the greatest swordsman of the modern era. Kind, goofy, romantic, and sharp-witted, he lived and breathed the way of the blade. But everything changed during a fierce tournament when a tragic accident left him completely blind. His world went dark, but his spirit never dimmed. Relying on instinct, sound, and intuition, Victor adapted. He trained harder, sharper, deeper. Yet fate had more in store. One ordinary day, while walking the city streets, a glowing summoning circle appeared beneath his feet—and before he could react, he was gone. Transported to a grand cathedral in another world, Victor found himself surrounded by high school students and nobles. A beautiful queen stood before them, summoning heroes to battle a rising Demon Lord. But there had been a mistake—Victor wasn’t supposed to be there. He wasn’t a chosen hero. And yet, when a mysterious ding echoed in his mind, a screen appeared before his blinded eyes: Class: Blind Swordsman With no way back and no destiny to follow, Victor carves his own path. His new power lets him “see” the world through sound and motion, sharpening his already deadly swordsmanship to supernatural levels. Determined to chase his dream even in this new world, Victor sets off—not as a hero, but as the Blind Swordsman. His journey begins: exploring dungeons, joining adventurer guilds, fighting monsters, saving villages, befriending gods and demons alike, and facing off against the greatest swordmasters the world has to offer. Along the way, he gathers a diverse—and chaotic—harem of swordswomen, slaves, nobles, and goddesses who fall for his strength, charm, and sheer will. Victor is no saint. He’s a romantic antihero, a sneaky battle junkie with a heart, a sharp tongue, and a blade sharper still. He gets caught in political intrigue, divine conspiracies, and misunderstandings that somehow lead to royal marriages. But no matter what happens, he lives—and fights—by his own code. He wasn’t meant to be a hero. He just wants to become a legend. They may call him blind, but history will remember the name: Victor Drake — the Greatest Swordsman the World Has Ever Known.

For ten long years, Tatsuya Fukushu lived through hell. Every day, he was beaten. Every day, he was mocked. Every day, he was reminded that the world didn’t want someone like him. The cruelty of his classmates became routine—their fists, their words, their laughter. He endured it all in silence, believing that someday it would end. That someday, if he just kept going, peace would come. But peace never came. One day, something inside him shattered. And in a blind, terrifying moment of rage, he killed them—the three bullies who tormented him for a decade. His hands were stained. His heart, empty. He thought he would finally die. He wanted to die. Instead, he woke up in another world. A world of magic, kingdoms, and ancient prophecy. A world where people could fly, summon fire, and carve mountains with a sword. A world that felt too alive for someone as broken as him. Tatsuya didn’t rejoice at the second chance. He hated it. Hated the sky, the air, the mana that pulsed through him. He wanted silence. He wanted peace. And most of all—he wanted to disappear. But fate is rarely kind. A strange knight named Paul found him, battered and aimless. He claimed there was a prophecy. That someone like Tatsuya had been foretold. Tatsuya didn’t believe a word of it. He didn’t trust him. Why should he? But Paul didn’t ask him to believe. He simply trained him—day after day, sword in hand, never holding back. There were no kind words, only discipline. No promises, only purpose. And slowly, through blood and sweat, Tatsuya began to understand. Trust wasn’t something that came from words. It came from action. And maybe, just maybe… He wasn’t alone anymore.

Ezra Carter was never meant to be a hero. An 18-year-old orphan scarred by a tragic car accident that claimed his parents' lives, Ezra grew up a cold, distant loner. Quiet, cunning, and haunted by the past, he walks the world with no attachments… until one ordinary day, fate pulls a cruel trick. Caught in the middle of a powerful summoning ritual meant for another, Ezra is dragged into a fantasy world not as a hero or sage—but as something far stranger: a Gluttony Mage. His unique skill? Devour. He can consume anything—monsters, weapons, spells, curses, even souls—and absorb their power. With this terrifying gift, he’s feared by nobles, dismissed by adventurers, and misunderstood by nearly everyone… except the royal family who summoned him by mistake. But Ezra refuses to be a pawn in anyone’s game. Instead, he forges his own path. Leaving the palace behind, he sets out as a solo adventurer, soon finding himself at the heart of dungeons, deadly quests, and world-shaking conspiracies. From corrupt churches to ancient gods, power-hungry princes to monstrous cults—he’ll devour them all if they stand in his way. Along the road, he forms unlikely bonds with all walks of life—slaves, commoners, demons, nobles, goddesses, even a demon queen and royal princesses—gathering both allies and a chaotic, diverse harem who fall for the mysterious, brooding mage with a hidden kindness buried beneath layers of shadow. Ezra’s personality remains complex: romantic yet cold, clever yet unhinged, kind yet terrifying—especially when the voices of Devour whisper in his ear, urging him to feed his endless hunger. A battle junkie at heart, he thrives on chaos, fights, and the thrill of walking the edge between control and madness. This is not a hero’s tale. It’s the legend of the Gluttony Mage—a devouring antihero who answers to no god, no king, and no prophecy. Will he become a legend? Or will he devour the very world that summoned him? Action. Comedy. Romance. Chaos. Welcome to Ezra Carter’s second life.

___Lost Notes___ In this age of superheroes, the public safety is at the hands of these all so powerful figures. Located in the metropolis of Condor is the worlds strongest hero, UltraMan. In his decade long carrier, he has destroyed multiple conspiracies started by the city's old elite, single handedly apprehended the mafias that encroached upon the weak and feeble and even stopped several alien invasions and infiltrations.

So what happens if he is removed from the picture? What if I removed him? How will the world live? How will "I" live? ....

Somehow, I don't know how for sure, though, I've been sent to the world of my favorite game, Skyrim. The longer I'm here, the more I notice that this world is real. Not simply realistic, but real. Everything I do has an effect on the world, either good or bad, especially in the case with the storylines. I love Skyrim, but I'm not going to be able to survive here, right? How do I get out? Getting out isn't even the beginning of my problems. The longer I stay here, the more I realize – things are different, and not necessarily for the better. -------------- As embarrassing as this is, this is a Skyrim fanfic. It's probably permanently in progress, as I'm mainly just using it as a drawing board to practice writing storylines for games. Writing it out is just a fun way I've got for going about it. I've also written this in a style so that people who haven't played any of the Elder Scrolls series of games can read it as well. I warn you, though, there's a *lot* of words. Side note: I've also got this story on other sites/apps, in case you want to read it there. -------------- This is also a challenge to That Guy Right There. This is a combination of how I would write the fanfic you made, along with the fact that I got tired of waiting for the author, That Guy Right There, to finish his story, "Living Skyrim." It's pretty good, y'all should check it out. However, Guy's mc is an asshole, so I warn you now. The puns he makes are also kinda bad. So I challenge you, Guy. I'm gonna write my version of how it'd go, and you finish yours (unless you died.) This is a direct copy from my work on my other accounts on various reading/writing apps. Check that one out, too. It doesn't matter to me which you support, cuz I'm not monetized by any. I'm just the writer, man.

In the sixth orbit of a distant galaxy, there once was a planet known as "Akaser," the cradle of the most brilliant human civilization. Until "they" escaped their confines, turning humans from rulers into prey. Facing the threat of extinction, a group of humans, led by Commander Ivan Hurst, fled Akaser aboard the ark ship "Luminous." Traversing interstellar dust clouds, they landed on an uncharted planet—Eramia. Eramia had no cities of steel and machinery, only tranquil, pure lands and endless forests. The indigenous inhabitants—the Elves—lived in harmony with nature, possessing the power to resonate with life itself. The protagonist, Cain, was born on the ark during the escape to Eramia, but his parents remained trapped on Akaser. He vowed to return to Akaser to rescue them, but before that, he had a long journey ahead.

"In the grand epics of Greek mythology, heroes are immortalized. But what of the nameless, the forgotten, the ones who were never meant to matter? This is the tale of one such background character—who dared to defy his fate."
