After continuous defeats of the Sassanids, the Empire eventually succumbed to the pressure, both external and internal. But what if?

Zerra Sylvaris, a celestial nine tailed fox and disciple of a famous celestial ancient beast, was transmigrated as a zombie in an apocalyptic world. She became a mindless creature with rotting flesh and an unpleasant smell. After spending most of her life solely based on zombie instinct, she emerged as the zombie king. Thus, she gradually remembered who she was. She fought to survive, fighting against superpower humans who were trying to get rid of her. She wanted to go back to her celestial world. Until she found out that the world was actually just a novel. She was a cannon fodder, the temporary zombie king before another one replaced her. The female lead was her sister, and the scumbag male lead was her fiance! And she, the annoying younger sister, was merely a stepping stone to bring their relationship closer. After countless reincarnations, she found it hopeless to go against them. Her ending was always the same, definite death.  However… she looked at the male lead in confusion. This time around, everything was weird. To quickly end this round of reincarnation, she intended to go directly jumping to the densely packed zombies, but he stopped her. Instead, his increasingly intense gaze frightened her! In her process to become a zombie king, she thought that her flesh would turn like those rotten zombies, but this time, she awakened special powers instead. Not only she kept her original fair skin, she also could control zombies. The best thing? Her supplies for several reincarnations magically remained intact on this life! It was just that, she sometimes turned into a fox. And the male lead, coveting her soft fur and cuteness... always kidnapped her. (Content warning: gore and violence)

The air in the secluded passage crackled with a tension that was both palpable and suffocating. Arin, her back pressed against the cold stone wall, watched as Roan stalked towards her, his eyes burning with a mixture of rage and a chillingly possessiveness. It had been months since he had cast her aside, months since his words had shattered her world, yet the memory of his rejection remained as sharp as shattered glass. He had found her alone, a rare moment of solitude in the bustling citadel, and he had seized the opportunity to confront her. Jealousy, a venomous and unfamiliar serpent, coiled within him, fueled by the sight of her arrival alongside Alpha Zayan. Though he would never admit it, the unexpected image of her with anyone, talk more an Alpha gnawed at his pride, a stark reminder of his judgment. "So," he began, his voice a low, menacing growl, "the whore returns." Arin's chin lifted, her eyes flashing with a defiant fire. She refused to cower before him, to allow him the satisfaction of seeing her break. "I came with Alpha Zayan," she corrected, her voice steady, "at his invitation." Roan scoffed, his lips curling into a sneer. "An invitation," he echoed, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "How convenient. I suppose you've been… entertaining him in exchange for his protection?" He stepped closer, his imposing figure casting a long, intimidating shadow over her. "You always were good at selling yourself, weren’t you? First me, then whoever else was willing to take you." He watched her, his eyes filled with a cruel satisfaction, as if he expected her to crumble beneath his insults. He wanted to see her break, to see her reduced to the trembling, humiliated woman he had left behind. But Arin had changed. The pain of his rejection had forged a resilience within her, a strength she never knew she possessed. She had learned to value her own worth, to define herself outside of his judgment. A slow, deliberate smile spread across her lips, a smile that held no warmth, only a chillingly detached amusement. "I would rather be a whore in a cheap bar," she said, her voice laced with a quiet contempt, "than be your whore, King Roan." His eyes widened, a flicker of surprise momentarily breaking through his mask of arrogance. He had expected tears, pleas, perhaps even a desperate attempt to defend her honor. He had not expected defiance.

From a hunted outcast burdened by an unspeakable past… to a reluctant hero wielding terrifying, untamed power— Akenzua’s journey is one of self-discovery, survival, and painful transformation. Haunted by guilt, driven by justice, and feared by many, he walks a line between what he was and what he might become. His identity defies every category—neither Divine nor fully human, marked by a past he can’t outrun and a future he must forge alone. With power born of destruction now turned to protection, Volume 1 of King of the Fall ends with one resounding question: What does it truly mean to be King of the Fall?

In the vast Nazare Blade Empire, ruled with an iron hand by Emperor Groa Aratat, there existed eight princes, each striving for recognition and power. Among them was Josh Aratat, the most obscure and least acknowledged of the emperor’s sons. Born of a mother who passed away when he was just a child, Josh grew up in the shadows of his more celebrated brothers, his heart burdened with loss and his life marked by solitude. One fateful day, Emperor Groa decreed a challenge: each of his sons was to venture into separate regions of the empire, conquer them, and win the loyalty of their people. The prince who demonstrated the greatest strength, strategy, and ability to amass supporters would be crowned the imperial prince—the heir to the throne. The empire buzzed with speculation. Most believed the title would go to the mighty firstborn, Balek Aratat, renowned for his unparalleled strength. Others placed their bets on the cunning second-born, Jaden Aratat, or the skilled third-born, Gerard Aratat. Few gave any thought to the younger sons, particularly the sixth to eighth—Josh included. In their eyes, he was merely a shadow, unworthy of mention in the race for the throne. But everything changed when Josh encountered a dying man, condemned to execution for the crime of stealing bread. Wracked with despair and tired of his own existence, Josh made a startling decision—he offered to take the man’s place, embracing what he thought would be his end. Yet, in an unexpected twist of fate, death did not claim him. Instead, Josh emerged from the ordeal with a newfound power—an extraordinary ability granted as a result of his selfless act. This gift would not only alter the course of his life but also shake the foundations of the Nazare Blade Empire and the world beyond.

Kenji Tanaka is the new transfer student at Seiryu High, a school ruled by fists and fear. With his average looks and quiet demeanor, everyone dismisses him as another sheep for the slaughter. They see a loser. A nobody. A twig that will snap under the iron boot of the school's hierarchy. They are wrong. Raised in brutal, solitary isolation in the mountains by a mysterious grandfather, Kenji's 'training' was a hellish regimen of survival. He doesn't understand society, girls, or why people flinch when he cracks his knuckles. He also doesn't understand that his 'normal' strength is enough to shatter bone, his 'basic' endurance can outlast a beast, and his very presence carries an aura that makes apex predators tremble. He believes he is weak, a novice who has barely scratched the surface of his grandfather's teachings. But when the wolves of Seiryu High come for the innocent girl in the desk next to him, they don't awaken a sheep. They awaken a monster. A god of combat. A King. This is not a story of a hero. This is the story of a Thug, his rise to absolute power, and the loyal followers and adoring women who are drawn to his terrifying, untamed might. In a world of delinquents, gangsters, and underground fighters, there is only one rule: Don't mess with the quiet kid. Because this King's fists don't know mercy.

In the grand and influential kingdom of Auroria Dominion, renowned for its wealth, advanced magic, and unmatched political power, a new chapter in the royal legacy is about to unfold. Ruled by the wise and just King Aldara, Auroria thrives on trade, magical innovation, and ancient knowledge. At its heart lies Solstice City, a magnificent capital and home to the esteemed Arcanum Royal Institute, where the brightest minds from across the realm come to hone their talents. As the new school year approaches, tensions rise within the royal family. King Aldara, driven by a desire for change, proposes a controversial plan to bring the son of the infamous Merlin—a powerful and feared wizard—into the kingdom's fold. Despite the protests of his brother, Headmaster Thaddeus Aldara, the king is determined to give the boy, Melanthius, a chance to prove his worth. Meanwhile, in the dark and foreboding Caldara Bastille, a prison on the desolate Ironclad Isles, Melanthius, known as Inmate Zero, endures a life of isolation and fear. Raised in captivity since birth, Mel has known little of the world beyond the prison walls, his only companions the guards and the dangerous inmates.

As the headmaster and king devise a daring plan to retrieve Melanthius from the depths of the Bastille, the stage is set for a dramatic clash between the past and the future. With the help of a mysterious dragon hybrid, the kingdom will attempt to bring Melanthius to the prestigious halls of Arcanum Royal Institute, where he must navigate a world of power, politics, and hidden dangers. But Mel's journey is fraught with challenges. Haunted by his father's legacy and burdened by the expectations of those around him, he must learn to balance his extraordinary abilities with his desire to be good. As he steps into the unknown, Mel's presence at the institute will not only test his resolve but also shake the very foundations of Auroria Dominion.

They once called him Ahzrael, the mind behind the infernal legions. Alone, he could bring down kingdoms, scatter armies, and challenge the will of gods. At his peak, just as the demons began whispering his name as Lord, betrayal struck. Not by a hero, nor by a god, but by the very master he had served: the Demon King. Why? Because Ahzrael had not been born to rule. Yet Hell itself bent the knee before him. That was a sin the throne could not forgive. They condemned him not with honor, but with fear. Cast down, consumed by the very black flames he had taught others to wield. Erased from history. But he is not gone. He will rise again. And this time… no one will stand in his way.

Kai is suddenly thrown into a world of myth after his grandma dies. Dragons, werewolves, vampires, and sirens exist. He and his siblings learn the truth. This is the story of how he became the king of myth.

He died. Then woke up in Magi. Surrounded by corpses, Alex rises with a system, a new name—Merlin—and violet Rukh swirling around him. Ancient symbols burn on his skin. A grimoire floats beside him. Soldiers panic. Magi feel it. Even the dark Rukh takes notice. He’s not here to follow fate. He’s here to break it. New kingdom. New knights. Same chaos. And it all starts with one corpse coming back to life.

What's worse than dying? Reincarnating as the villain you created. Game programmer Alex thought he was just fixing a minor character out of pity. Lucien Sanguini—the most hated mini-boss in his vampire academy romance game—was designed to die in every single route. Obsessively in love with his fiancée but too emotionally broken to show it, arrogant yet secretly desperate for affection, he was the perfect antagonist everyone loved to hate. Now Alex IS Lucien, trapped in a declining noble vampire house with twelve death flags hanging over his head—one for each heroine who wants him dead. The solution? A perverted system with a simple ultimatum: Seduce all twelve heroines into your harem, or face permanent death. Armed with hidden triple emblems (Fire, Ice, and the legendary Blood Control), memories of every game route, and a system that gives the most embarrassingly inappropriate quests at the worst possible moments, Lucien must transform from the academy's most despised villain into its most beloved anti-hero. The catch? He can't let anyone suspect he's changed, must maintain his "cold villain" reputation, and oh—his obsessively loved fiancée Seraphina currently sits at -15 affection and is actively planning his murder. **No pressure.** From the assassin who has a contract on his life to the lightning mage seeking revenge for public humiliation, each heroine represents a deadly challenge that could end everything. But behind every death flag lies a story, behind every enemy lies potential love, and behind every impossible quest lies the chance to rewrite fate itself. Sometimes the best way to avoid a bad ending is to seduce your way to a better one. **A dark comedy of vampire romance, system shenanigans, and the redemption of the most beautifully broken villain ever created.**

My name is Shay. Just Shay. Every morning at five, I kick off my day like anyone else—cereal, eggs, or toast. Then comes the routine brushing session where I make it a point to avoid eye contact with the damn bogey in the mirror. Typical, right? I’ve got a roommate—a werewolf. We’re best friends and classmates, tackling school like it’s any normal day. After classes, I head to my job as a bartender at a nearby pub. It’s a cozy spot, where apart from your regular humans, other creatures also get together for a drink. Yep, vampires and shapeshifters have their pint nights too. Aside from these quirks, my life was relatively normal — until everything turned upside down. The peacefulness of the night seems to be over, the Fifth King is preparing for war — perhaps for world domination —, and common sense has evaporated somewhere along the way. Life was pretty standard, aside from the supernatural quirks, until it wasn’t. The peace of the night shattered, the Fifth King is gearing up for war—or maybe world domination—and somewhere along the way, logic took a vacation. Now, here I am, smack in the middle of this glorious mess, trying to figure out how I went from a normal guy to being tangled in what feels like the prelude to a world-ending saga.

Cydonia pimpinan Raja Neres II adalah Negara Kerajaan yang didirikan oleh Dewa. Dewa mewariskan kerajaan itu kepada Keturunan-keturunannya. Sehingga menentang Raja sama dengan menentang Dewa. Itulah yang selalu diyakini rakyat Cydonia.

The year is 2025. The educational world has changed drastically over the past 25 years. Schools have strict policies that prohibit any form of violence or bullying. Even the smallest hint of aggression results in immediate suspension. Or at least, that’s how it’s meant to be... But despite all of this, below the surface of just physically fighting, bullying still exists in other forms. From forcing others to do homework, giving answers, demanding food, or even getting them to break the rules—these are all traits of a bully. Yet, these so-called "bullies" disguise themselves as "friends" and put on an act when teachers are around. The truth is, even the teachers are victims. I used to be one of their victims, but not anymore...

In a world where games have turned into reality, Valdris Altair Mournveil—once the unkillable final boss of a near-endless dungeon—finds himself stripped of his greatest asset: invincibility. Known as the fearsome ruler of the Veil of Eternity, Netharis, Valdris was once the terror at the top of the 9,999th floor, a being that no player or creature could defeat. But now, in this new reality, Valdris grapples with a terrifying truth—he can die. As those who once feared him still cower at his legendary reputation, he silently wrestles with crippling self-doubt, battling internal screams and the creeping anxiety of being exposed as vulnerable. Despite the change, he maintains his composed and powerful façade, attempting to live up to the persona of a figure who still inspires fear and awe. While most people still avoid him due to his infamous reputation, some people remain oblivious to his legend, knowing only of his domain and dungeon. Valdris must navigate this new world, managing his Vassals and his crumbling confidence, while others perceive him as the unkillable force he once was. A story of power, pride, and silent internal chaos, Valdris explores what happens when a king falls from grace and must hide his fears behind the mask of a former god. TLDR: Valdris is like an average politician—once powerful, but now clinging to a crumbling foundation he’s desperately trying to hold together.
