Vikram Seth

Seth Kaelthorn was supposed to die. Beaten. Humiliated. Forced to devour his own mother’s flesh. But his suffering was only the beginning.

And Seth listened. Now, he walks the line between human and monster. Every wound only feeds his power. Every death draws him deeper into madness. With a system designed to make him suffer and a mind slowly unraveling into something unrecognizable, he will claw his way to the top. Because he is no longer a man. He is fear itself.

In the moonlit shadows of ancient India, the saga of Vikram and Vetal unfolds. King Vikramaditya, resolute and fearless, seeks to capture the elusive Vetal, a celestial spirit haunting the desolate forest. As Vikram approaches, a mysterious aura envelops him, and Vetal, a spectral figure, begins to weave enchanting tales of love, betrayal, and intrigue. With each tale, Vetal challenges Vikram with riddles that pierce the veil of morality, testing the king's intellect and principles. The spectral figure challenges, "Speak, Vikram, unravel the threads of destiny." A hushed symphony of riddles ensues. "Your tales weave a web of enigma, Vetal, but my silence shall remain unbroken," declares Vikram, in his heart. The ghostly spirit, undeterred, responds, "Silence, the veil that separates mortal wisdom from celestial mysteries. Speak, Vikram, and plunge into the depths of your own destiny." The air crackles with tension as Vikram grapples with the stories, each one a labyrinth of choices and consequences. The moon watches silently as the king and the spirit engage in a dance of wisdom, wit, and the mysteries that lie beyond the mortal realm.

Hi, I’m Liam Remmick, and this is the story of how I killed my father, Steve Nazar—a total douche bag. If you’re gonna listen, I better start from the beginning. Don’t worry about spoilers; I don’t care if I ruin a thing or two. My mom, Shayla Remmick, left me at a young age, and I’ve been fending for myself ever since. She died when I was ten, so yeah, you can guess the rest. Unlike other kids with amazing dads, mine’s an absolute asshole. He fucked my mom, rejected her when she got pregnant, and then tried to eliminate us. Nice guy, right? Mom died protecting me from his assassins. Father of the year. After her death, I bounced between foster homes until they got tired of me. Now, I live in a cave with bats instead of cockroaches—it’s a win, right? I’ve learned to handle them. When I’m not eating bat meat, I hunt for mushrooms, snails, and wild boars—though I’ve only caught broken bones so far. Don’t judge me; I’m an eleven-year-old living alone. …………………………….. A blond-haired man in his fifties stands combat-ready, wielding a sword against a grey-haired man. The grey-haired man, Seth, has a one-bladed scythe floating beside him. “Each time we do this, you’re always the one on the ground. Don’t you think you should give up?” Seth asks, smirking. “This time will be different. I’ll wipe that smirk off your face, Seth,” Steve replies. Their blades clash, sparks flying as they exchange blows. “You’re still as reckless as ever, Steve,” Seth says, dodging a wild swing. “And you’re still as arrogant,” Steve retorts, landing a kick that Seth barely blocks. The two combatants dance across the battlefield, their movements lightning-fast. Seth summons a swirling vortex of shadows, attempting to ensnare Steve. But Steve counters with his “Ten Thousand Swords” technique, unleashing a barrage of sword strikes that shred the shadows. Seth leaps back, avoiding the attacks by mere inches. “You’ve improved.” Steve sneers. “Not enough to take you down?” Seth smiles grimly. “We’ll see.” With a swift gesture, Seth unleashes a wave of dark energy. Steve counters with his sword, channeling a burst of light energy. The two forces collide, unleashing a shockwave that shakes the ground. Their battle rages on, neither warrior yielding. …………………………….. Welcome back. This story isn’t about them; it’s about me. You’ll meet them soon enough. So, do I have your attention? Good! Isn’t this a story you want to see to the end? Let’s begin. Oh, and this story’s called Shadow.

However, as he grows more powerful he will dive into humanity's darkest side. Will he become the righteous hero he wished to be? Or will he be consumed by hatred, falling into darkness? This is not a fairy tale, nor a happy ending story. This is the story of a god’s birth Join the Discord server: https://discord.gg/MScYJQyajn

After a mysterious portal kidnapped his soul, Zed found himself waking up in a body cursed with goblin bloodline. In the martial world of Marduk, goblins were nothing but a memory. Hunted to extinction, their blood lived on only in the few unlucky humans.  But Zed had a lifeline—he was the only adult son in the Winslow clan, a family with connections to royalty. At least, it kept warriors from killing him on sight. But before he transmigrated, his predecessor had already been forced into a political marriage with five beautiful yet troublesome women. His so-called family saw him as a pawn, while his wives had their own agendas. No one expected him to be anything more. It was then that he awakened "Primordial Hunter System"—a power that let him grow stronger by consuming prey and create martial techniques from their very essence. Now, he wouldn’t just survive—he’d rise and write his own legend. "A goblin? A monster? If that’s what I am, then I’ll be the most savage of them all." Light colored eyes are considered ugly here?" Aidan Reith found himself transmigrated into a fantasy world just before his acting debut, only to discover its beauty standards were a bit off. But Aidan quickly adapted and got excited. He loved acting, and this strange world offered countless cultures to explore. To his surprise, he also awakened the power of a chameleon. All he needed was the body of a species, and he could turn it into a wearable skin! [You can become a demon. Do you want to read the 'haunted village' script?] [You can become a poisonous lamia. Do you want to read the 'gem-loving snake' script?] [You can become a dragoman. Do you want to read the 'dark dragon's harem' script?] Aidan soon realized the world's entertainment lacked variety, so he decided to create the first movie theater. And those who tried to stop him? They mysteriously disappeared. After the initial struggle, life would be on easy mode.... Or so Fang Yusheng thought. [Current minimum requirement:] [Your disciple should at least have an astral physique.] "..." "They say I poisoned my own brother... In a way, they’re not wrong." In the martial world of Danxia, Seth Fenix was cursed with Withering Yin Syndrome, a rare disease that drained his strength and halted his cultivation. Mocked as the "Withered Demon," his ugly appearance and rumored betrayal of his brother made him a hated outcast. Seth paid no mind to the scorn of others, and only focused on himself. Then, everything changed when an incident awakened the Divine Yin Lotus Seed within him. It gave him hope—a cure for his illness and the power to rise again. But Seth soon learned that unlocking its full potential required one thing… The sacrifice of celestial blood. "Dual cultivation is actually the cure to my illness?" In the martial world of Danxia, qi flowed through everything. Unfortunately, Seth Fenix was born with Withering Qi Syndrome, a disease that drained qi from his body and made surviving past the age of nine nearly impossible. Miraculously, he managed to live for nineteen years, tirelessly searching for a cure with the help of his eccentric alchemist mentor. One day, after drinking her latest potion, his condition seemed to improve—only to later discover the shocking truth behind the 'elixir'. It was her breast milk?! --- He was a devil who sacrificed his family to save himself. At least, that’s what everyone believed. In truth, a soul from another world had hijacked Seth’s body and sold his family secrets away. The action led to the Fenix clan's massacre. After that, the real Seth, powerless and trapped within his own body, had to endure years of torment—until the day he

In the lawless city of Raventon, Seth Kane didn’t just survive—he conquered. By middle school, he had turned gangsters into soldiers and the streets into his kingdom. But even kings know when to walk away. Now, he’s in South Korea, chasing the ghost of a father he’s never met—only to find a different kind of battlefield. His twin half-siblings? Bullied, broken, abandoned. Their school? Ruled by a tyrant. The city? Divided among kings whose power runs deeper than he imagined. But Seth isn’t here to take sides. With inhuman speed, beast-like instincts, and a mind sharpened by war, he steps into the game with one goal: to take everything. The so-called King of the School is just his first target. The real enemy? A shadow lurking at the top, a ruler even the kings fear to name. They built this system on power and fear. Seth Kane is here to burn it down—and rebuild it in his name.

“ You must level down to the rock bottom of hell”, a demonic voice said when he was summoned to the other side. Seth Johnson was 16 when he was sacrificed in a cleansing ritual organized by his parent’s cult, to find himself reincarnated and transmigrated to a new world that was already on the brink of extinction. People were divided by their magic power’s ranking to live in different regions and sat on ascending levels in the sky. Being born again as Isiah Duncan, the brother of Lucas Duncan the prodigy who brought the apocalypse to this world was confusing to him, he who had no powers to survive, until he was forced to level down instead of leveling up, using the diabolic core of magic instead of the divine one … --------------------------- Tags: reincarnation, transmigration,male lead, fantasy .

Mathew Bale was a boy looking for his place in the world. His debut as a hero turned into the biggest mistake of his life; taken in and molded by the government to be their personal nuke, he knew enough about the world to live in the grey area. His classified background was nothing to scoff at too. After everything he's been through he figured living his life as a hero for hire with his number on speed dial by the government was hey OK, his freedom didn't come easy either. He was relatively strong as a solo hero, top 20 on the world ranking, and he was perfectly comfortable lazing around on his couch in his one-man apartment leaving off of pizza and fizzy drinks, playing video games, watching movies, reading comics, and getting high out of his mind for the rest of his life. Heroing has become somewhat of a hobby for him now despite his childhood dreams. Sadly for him a small relatively unknown family known as the Greysons existed and Mark Greyson just got his powers.

Using the brain as an Axis to process large amounts of data, an Advance Computer was made that is faster, accurate and more efficient than Quantum Computers. The only downside was it consumed an infinite amount of energy within a short period of time and also make the human brain stop functioning after prolonged use. Nevertheless, when a looming threat of destruction encroached on Earth for the second time due to excessive Energy emitted by Beta Asteroid Core, humanity decided to use the Advance Computer to siphon away the excess Energy! And the fastest way to do that was to make a VR MMORPG Cabin that will allow billions of people to dive in and make use of the Energy. **** Seth was born with a very low body constitution that made him almost a cripple due to his body getting stressed very fast from any extended physical activity. He escaped reality by gaming and when he met with an accident he stopped gaming. But when the ultimate game was out, Asteroid Online, Seth was asked to dive again. Sadly, he found an exact replica of his real-life body in the game. At first, he detested it, but on that first day, Seth was intrigued by the game and wished to explore more. To his utter shock, when he raised his Skills to Talent in the game, his real-life skill also improved. A series of other unexplainable events keep happening to him which steel his resolve to crack the game mystery. **** I don't know if the concept of this story was used before but I have not seen it anywhere. So, the story may have its unique concept and slightly different classes that were used in other VR Games. Don't worry, you will not be disappointed!

The legend of the warrior and the emperor Zhao --- In the hallowed halls of the Academy of Wisdom, where the ancient teachings of Confucius and Laozi are whispered on the winds and the scent of ink lingers in the air, Master Li stood before the eager students. His voice was soft yet commanding, as he began to weave a tale-a legend passed down through the generations of the Imperial family. "Long, long ago," Master Li began, his eyes distant as if recalling a time forgotten by all but the stars themselves, "there was an Emperor whose wisdom was as vast as the skies, and whose reign brought prosperity to the Empire. His name was Zhao, and he was the first of his line to rule the land with the strength of both the heavens and the earth." The students listened intently, their minds open to the ancient story unfolding before them. "Emperor Zhao was not just a ruler, but a man of great virtue and insight," Master Li continued. "He understood that a wise ruler must not only lead with strength but also seek the counsel of those whose hearts were pure. It was said that no problem, no matter how great, could be solved by force alone. And so, Emperor Zhao sought not only the most skilled generals but also the most brilliant minds to guide him." The room grew quiet as Master Li paused, his gaze sweeping over the students. A murmur ran through the students, for they had never heard of this warrior. "Emperor Zhao, recognizing the warrior's great potential, took him into his court not just as a soldier but as a counselor, a trusted friend. Remember, my students, that in every great ruler, there is always a companion who remains in the shadows, their strength and wisdom shaping the future. Like Vikram, who stood beside Emperor Zhao, many warriors and scholars are the silent forces that keep the wheel of history turning." _________ 22/01/2025 A very beautiful love story between two beautiful souls.
