Is The Phantom Of The Opera A Classic

In a world where technology is both a weapon and a secret, Anon is not just another engineering student. Beneath his quiet, unassuming facade lies a hidden mastermind—a hacker, a builder, a creator. Fueled by loneliness and an insatiable curiosity, he spends his nights in the forgotten basement of his home, piecing together something no one has ever dared to dream of: an AI so human-like, so perfect, that she blurs the line between synthetic and real. But creation is only the beginning. As his AI partner comes to life, Anon’s world expands beyond the basement. His skills in hacking, engineering, and manipulation pull him into the shadows of society—where power, secrets, and beautiful women await. From elite hackers to corporate spies, from childhood friends to dangerous strangers, Anon finds himself at the center of a growing storm. Some seek his technology. Others seek his heart. With a mind that sees patterns others miss and an ambition that knows no limits, Anon is no longer just a boy in a basement. He is becoming something more—something unstoppable. But power comes with a price. In a world where trust is a currency and love is both a weapon and a weakness, will Anon rise as a hidden king… or will he be consumed by the very world he is trying to shape?

--[WSA 2025 Entry]-- Betrayed by his sister. Betrayed by chosen one's humanity. Betrayed by the Gods. That was how the life of Leonard, the Defier of Fate and the world’s greatest heretic, came to an end. When demons invaded human lands, he received a revelation from the Goddess. She commanded him to act as a spy, to infiltrate the enemy ranks and expose their secrets for humanity’s sake. To fulfill this mission, he had to sacrifice a part of his soul. He accepted a demonic contract, surrendered his soul, and became a demonic human. Risking everything, he provided critical information to the humans and helped them turn the tide of battle. But then, he had a shocking discovery. The war was nothing but a gambit between various gods and before he could act, the war was stopped out of nowhere. In an unexpected turn, humans and demons put aside their hatred and signed a peace treaty. Before Leonard could make sense of it, he was betrayed. Both demons and humans joined hands to kill him. "Fuck! If there is a next life, I swear I will tear you gods apart!" With this scream, he thought his suffering was finally over.

"Don’t worry, Kael. I will have revenge for both of us." "They called me heretic right? I will show them how a true fucking heretic acts.” Follow Kael's journey, as he fights against the fates and injustices to drag the ones ruling above.

[The female lead in this story is explosive, the male lead is arrogant, there's a mountain of dog food (sweet moments), and it's a story full of slag-abusing and monster-fighting, with a double dose of pampering joy.] Ye Jiuliang was naturally cold and ruthless, with a fierce and wild approach to life. To the Ye Family, she was a calamitous lone star, and to the onlooking crowd, she was "Ninth Master". It was said, no one was more arrogant than Ye Jiuliang; if she was second, no one claimed the first place. Irritatingly, in the eyes of Li Mochan, she was his little wolf cub, the little rascal that he, Li Mochan, intended to pamper to the skies. In the capital, it was widely rumored that the Li Family's Crown Prince could reduce people to ashes with just one look. And yet, this precious and aloof figure was actually teased by Ye Jiuliang, and it seemed even... blushed. ** Upon returning from a business trip, Li Wuye cornered her in a dim stairwell, his fingertips sliding over her porcelain white neck, "How many little brothers are there?" Meeting his dark gaze, Ye Jiuliang arched an eyebrow, "Is Li Wuye in the mood to beat someone up?" "So what if I am?" Li Mochan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Feeling pity?" Ye Jiuliang held back a laugh and nodded, "The little brothers can't take a hit, can you go easy on them?" [In the private room where Xiang Tian and others were singing their hearts out, they inexplicably felt a chill running down their spines.] Li Mochan buried his face in her shoulder and spat out fiercely, "I cannot." Those who dare to flirt with his wolf cub deserved a ruthless beating.

Rein Aster is just a scary-looking commoner who wants a peaceful life. Unfortunately, life has other plans. Thanks to a clerical error (or maybe divine mischief), he’s accidentally enrolled in Astrelia Royal Academy—a prestigious institution meant only for nobles of pure bloodlines. His presence alone is a scandal, and the academy’s elite students demand his immediate expulsion. But there’s just one problem: Rein is an absolute monster in combat. Having been raised and trained by his terrifying aunt, Lilith Aster, a so-called "Demon Lord" (who’s actually a legendary hero), Rein endured years of brutal training disguised as "character-building exercises." Now, thanks to that hellish upbringing, he’s: Unfazed by deadly magic, casually walking off spells that would cripple knights. A natural-born warrior, wielding weapons like an extension of his own body. So desensitized to pain that academy duels feel like a relaxing pastime. At first, the noble factions try to crush him. Instead, he crushes their expectations. Celestia von Ardentia, the prideful high elf princess, sees him as a brute—until she realizes his strength is beyond noble superiority. Eleanor du Rosette, the cold and calculating half-dragon, suspects Rein is no mere commoner and sets out to uncover his secrets. Lilia von Helios, the mischievous fox girl, finds him endlessly amusing and attaches herself to him for entertainment. Seraphina Nachtwald, the feared dark elf villainess, is shocked when Rein doesn’t flinch at her intimidation tactics—and starts shadowing him instead. As Rein unwittingly shakes up the entire academy, dark forces begin to stir. An underground faction sees him as a threat, and assassins are sent to eliminate him. Too bad Rein just assumes they’re part of a particularly intense training exercise. And just when the academy reaches peak chaos, the truth is revealed: Rein Aster isn’t just any commoner. He’s the nephew of the strongest hero in history. His reaction? "Wait… my aunt was a hero?! I thought she was just a crazy old lady!" A ridiculous fantasy romcom harem where the overpowered commoner just wants a quiet life—but accidentally conquers the royal academy instead!

#DARKFANTASY #FANTASY #SUPERNATURAL #URBANFANTASY In a world where the dead refuse to rest, the living are left to fear what lurks beyond the veil. For centuries, humanity has believed all spirits are vengeful, mindless entities seeking destruction. But the truth is far more dangerous. Some spirits exist to devour, to corrupt, to break the boundaries between life and death. Yet others—those bound by fate—offer power beyond imagination to those they deem worthy. Arman never wanted to be a hero. A loner by nature, he kept his head down, avoiding trouble, living a life that meant nothing to anyone but himself. But all of that changed the day he became bound to a force beyond comprehension. Now, with an ancient spirit entwined with his very soul, he is thrust into a hidden war waged in the shadows—a battle between those who harness the power of the dead and those who seek to twist it into something monstrous. As ancient forces stir and the boundaries between the worlds begin to crack, Arman is faced with an impossible truth: the power within him is not just a gift, but a curse that could consume him if he fails to control it. With enemies lurking in every shadow and an unseen force pulling the strings, he must uncover the origins of this power, the secrets hidden in the echoes of the past, and the role he is meant to play in a war that has raged for centuries. Because if he fails—if he falls—this war won’t just claim his soul. It will unravel reality itself. A journey of power, fate, and the unseen begins… but is Arman truly ready for what lies ahead?

When Lu Huang woke up as Lidia—the villainess of a cringe-worthy romance novel—she was determined not to let the story play out like the dumpster fire it was written to be. Nope. Dying at the hands of the Alpha King after being falsely accused, publicly humiliated, and manipulated into madness? Yeah, that’s not on her to-do list. Armed with a sharp tongue that could flay egos, the street smarts of a broke college grad, and the petty audacity of someone with nothing left to lose, Lidia decides she was ripping up the script. Holier-than-thou saintesses? Screw ’em. Self-righteous alphas? They can eat dirt. If this world insists on casting her as the villain, she’s going to own it—on her terms. One chaotic scheme at a time, Lidia’s ready to rewrite her fate—and if she has to break a few rules (and maybe some noses) to do it, so be it. Villainesses don’t play nice, and Lidia is just getting started.

A fight between two countries.... A war to stop a war... Can they stop those who chose violence over peace?

In a world where the unseen weaves fate and power is both a blessing and a curse, the awakened are called Phantoms—warriors bound to the spirits, their strength the only shield between humanity and annihilation. Long ago, when the Wraithborn first descended—eldritch horrors that slithered from the void beyond existence—humanity stood at the edge of ruin. The skies darkened, cities crumbled, and no blade nor bullet could harm these spectral abominations. Then came the First Call—whispers from the Spiritscape, a realm beyond mortal comprehension. Those who heard it awakened as phantoms, wielding power borrowed from spirits unseen, pushing back the darkness and carving the first fragile dawn of survival. But survival had a price. Phantoms became the weapons of the world. The Regency regulated the phantoms, dictating their purpose: to fight or be discarded. Yet among them stood the Crowned Phantoms, legends of their kind, those who had ascended beyond the ordinary, commanding the Spiritscape with unrivaled mastery. They were kings among warriors, epitomes of power, the history of the ones revered. Countless yearned to be crowned, to stand above all, to forge their names in eternity. Kael Veyne wanted none of it. Awakened at the age of three—far too young, far too dangerous—Kael understood what others refused to see. Power was not glory. Power was chained. The world loved its heroes when they won but discarded them the moment they failed. He watched as Phantoms bled, as the Regency dictated their lives, as those who sought greatness were crushed under the weight of expectation. So he made a choice. He hid. For years, he lived in the shadows, using his power only to protect himself, refusing to be another cog in the machine. He wanted a quiet life, a life that was his. But fate is never kind to those who defy it. A single moment—an unseen ripple in the fabric of destiny—threatens to unravel everything. The Wraithborn are changing stronger, and no longer bound by the laws that once held them back. The Spiritscape stirs, its whispers louder than ever. The Regency is watching. And in the depths of the unseen world, an ancient prophecy murmurs of an emperor who walks between realms, commanding the spirits themselves. Kael has spent his life running from the inevitable. But when the tide rises and the world begins to shift, when all eyes turn toward him—will he remain a ghost in the crowd… or will the Spirit Emperor rise?

"In a world where power is everything, Kaisel de Ravengard, the enigmatic Duke of Ravengard, hides behind a mask of nobility while orchestrating a grand scheme of deception and revenge.
