Born with a soul of exception purity, he was destined for greatness—or so everyone believed. But when his once-bright future is shattered during the Beast Exams, Riven's life takes an unexpected turn. Marked by an ancient and unfathomable creature after a fateful encounter with a mysterious orange stone, Riven’s soul rejects the bond with wild beasts of higher blood lines, rendering him an outcast in the eyes of his peers and a disappointment to his extended family. Yet, amidst rejection and loss, his unwavering resolve shines through. Choosing to walk the path of a hunter, he eventually discovers the power he was gifted with: the ability to absorb the souls of slain beasts and to fuse them, creating powerful allies unlike any others in the land. As Riven treads this uncharted path to power, his city faces an unprecedented catastrophe—a monstrous horde of beasts threatens to annihilate everything he holds dear. Forced into a battle for survival, Riven finds himself torn between protecting his home and harnessing the chaos to strengthen his newfound power.

Do you ever imagine there's another world running right beside ours? . . . “Why don’t we put this in?" A woman speaks, her voice smooth, almost affectionate. “Nah, that’s too overpowered. Let’s add something different. Something… darker.” Then, a man’s voice interrupts, firm and unyielding. “Hey! Why don’t we make him a vampire?” The woman’s voice perks up, excited. A chill goes through me. Make what! vampire? Who! Me?! What—what are they talking about? The man lets out a skeptical grunt. “A vampire? Sure, that’s interesting, but it's too OP. Let's add something to balance it.” “Okay, okay,” she says, her tone still light, as though designing some casual new toy. “But let’s change the species—no blood-sucking from humans. It’s been done to death, too cliché right?” Blood-sucking? Humans? My mind spins. Are they actually talking about turning me into… some kind of creature? “Well,” the man chuckles, “there’s plenty else he could prey on in this world, isn’t there? We’ll give him something else to feed on.” The voices continue, completely oblivious to my horror. I lie helpless, only able to listen as they throw around options, shaping me, deciding my fate. My heart—if I even have one—pounds in the emptiness. I can’t see, move, or speak. But in their hands, I’m becoming something, one twisted decision at a time.

Ethan Granger, a modern-day man, is suddenly transported into a Victorian-era world. Upon waking, he discovers that he has taken over the body of Elias Darnell, a poor, orphaned teenage boy living in a bleak, impoverished neighborhood. As Ethan grapples with his new life, something far darker and far more powerful emerges within him. He begins to experience strange powers—enhanced strength, speed, and a thirst for blood. At first, he brushes it off as a side effect of his transmigration, but the truth soon becomes undeniable: Ethan is not just any vampire—he is the first vampire, cursed by God Himself as punishment for an ancient, unfathomable sin. Elias Darnell is no ordinary boy; his body is the vessel for a divine punishment that dates back to the beginning of time. Ethan’s transformation is not merely the result of magic or a random accident—it is the curse of the first vampire, and his existence is a cosmic punishment for a sin so great that it defied the laws of both man and God. === NOTE: The story may take some time to introduce Elias' powers. I had planned to create a strong setting first for a good background. I am just starting to write and it may take time to release new chapters but I am trying to get at least 5 new chapters a week.

Verity could not believe his eyes, and was overjoyed when what seemed to be the end of the word befell humanity at last. Others may have despaired or cry in outrage in the emergence of the apocalypse, but why wouldn't Verity be happy? His dream had come true, the end of the world, just like in his favorite stories! Finally, he wouldn't have to dream about it anymore or write questionable fan-fiction on the obscure forums he visited sometimes. He could be the Hero! "This is it!!! My time has come!" Too bad it didn't last. Turns out, Verity's plot armor wasn't quite as strong as the protagonists he admired, and his story? Short-lived to say the least.

Eren Kain was an ordinary engineer and inventor until the day the Tower of Trials appeared. A massive, otherworldly spire reaching into the heavens, the tower beckoned humanity with promises of power, wealth, and immortality—but also death. Unlike the others, Eren was forcibly bound to the Tower. No one else could enter until he began his climb, and he couldn’t leave unless he reached the top. Stripped of magic, aura, or any supernatural ability, Eren’s only advantage is his engineering genius and the technology he can smuggle in. From basic firearms to drones and exoskeletons, he uses every tool at his disposal to survive the monsters, traps, and bizarre ecosystems within the Tower. Yet even technology has its limits in a world governed by magic. As Eren climbs, he discovers the Tower isn’t just a trial but a puzzle. Its magic isn’t arbitrary—it’s systematic, a science he slowly learns to decode. However, one wrong calculation could kill him instantly, forcing him to balance experimentation with survival. He scavenges magic crystals, artifacts, and spell books, using them in crude, improvised ways to bolster his arsenal. Over time, he begins merging technology and magic, creating unique hybrid tools to overcome the increasingly insurmountable challenges. But why was Eren chosen? What secret does the Tower hold? With no escape and the weight of humanity’s fate on his shoulders, Eren must climb—not just to survive, but to unravel the truth of the Tower itself. every 50 collections I’ll give a chapter and every 20 powerstones I’ll give a chapter every 10 reviews I’ll give a chapter
