THE SENTINEL GUIDE

Mu Chen lands a spot on a top-notch special ops team at this super high-tech military base, where honestly, everyone's watched like they're just another piece of equipment, guides and sentinels alike. Officially, he's supposedly a weak, late bloomer guide, brought in because they're short on people and the higher-ups are hoping to collect some new intel. But the real deal? He's secretly packing some serious power that, if anyone found out, would land him locked up, cut open for study, or stuck with them forever. The team's field leader is Ye Fan, a legendary A-tier sentinel who's got a reputation for being incredibly tough to control and having practically zero compatibility with guides. He's not exactly thrilled about Mu Chen joining, thinks the timing of the transfer is sketchy, and gets a weird vibe from him – too quiet, too polished, like a signal that just won't decode. Mu Chen keeps a low profile, playing the part of a harmless newbie while he figures out all the team's protocols: how to get permission to link up, compatibility ratings, and surveillance that even digs into their private thoughts. As the missions get more intense and the system gets more suffocating, Mu Chen ends up saving people over and over in ways that just look like sheer luck or skill. Except Ye Fan can sense the truth behind it every single time, like a wave of relief he never expected. Their connection builds under the intense pressure of the unit: stolen moments of kindness between missions, silent acts of protection, and a spark that gets seriously risky because it's totally off-limits. The more the institute tries to keep them in check, the more Mu Chen has to gamble with exposing his true self. And the more Ye Fan has to figure out if he'll stick to the rules of the system that made him, or torch the whole thing to keep Mu Chen safe.

The Crowned Greed: Transmigrated into a Demonic Dragon

"Is this death?" Food. Water. A blanket. A roof. For a crippled, homeless boy like Dante, that was all he ever wanted. But until his last breath, he couldn't live the happy life he dreamed of. When he finally accepted death, he opened his eyes only to find himself in a supernatural world. A world where logic doesn't make sense and where magic isn't fairytales. And his body? It's the body of a real demonic dragon rather than his old one. Before he could understand what was happening, a spinning axe buried itself into his skull… yet he stayed conscious. Feeling that sharp, immense pain, Dante realized—he was being hunted. Hell had just begun. But whether it was his or his enemies'… no one could tell. ¢¢¢ Regarding the MC's morality: he'll keep changing. I can only promise that by the end of the story, he won't be a dark villain. Regarding r18: It's mainly for the gore and dark theme (medieval settings with no religions, I want to take my freedom in writing this). If you're here for smut, then you can leave. anything like smut will be described in a suggestive way or only mentioned quickly without description (and that's only if it's necessary, I hate smut and I won't fill the story with fanservice) Regarding romance: Slow romance (and a bit late), No Smut, Single FL, No Ntr, No Yuri, No Yaoi, No Useless FL, probably no Tsundere (Idk how to write a good tsundere fl).

MHA:Project Infinity!

In a world where 80% of humanity is born with superhuman abilities known as Quirks, the powerless are left behind—mocked, ignored, and forgotten. Arata Seigi is one of them. Born quirkless and orphaned, he survives on the pension left behind by his late parents — a hero mother who died in the line of duty, and a father who was a doctor involved in secret research. To the world, Arata is a nobody — a ghost wandering through a society that measures worth by strength. But within that quiet despair burns a defiant will. After years of ridicule and isolation, Arata vows to change the world — to end the cycle of discrimination that has turned heroes into tools and the quirkless into trash. He dreams not of fame or glory, but of revolution. When he turns twelve, fate intervenes. While rummaging through his late father’s belongings, he discovers an old pendrive — hidden within a dusty suitcase. The files inside reveal his father’s involvement in the illegal research of quirk cloning, working under none other than Doctor Garaki, the scientist serving All For One. His father’s notes detail the process of extracting, modifying, and storing quirk factors into artificial data chips — a technology that could rewrite human evolution itself. But what captures Arata’s imagination isn’t the forbidden science… It’s the possibility within it. Among his old sketchbooks — filled with drawings of heroes from his previous life — his eyes fall on one titled Infinity War. The image of Thanos wielding the Infinity Gauntlet stirs something within him. Six stones, six forces — power, space, time, reality, mind, and soul — each capable of reshaping existence. And then, a thought takes root. If quirks can be cloned and altered… Why not combine them? Why not create six artificial quirks representing those same fundamental forces? Why not forge his own version of the Infinity Gauntlet — not as a weapon of conquest, but as a tool to shatter the chains of a corrupted world? Thus begins Project Infinity. From that day onward, Arata dedicates himself to mastering science, technology, and genetics. While other children dream of becoming heroes, he becomes a silent creator — dissecting quirk theory, gathering information from underground sources, and testing fragments of cloned quirks. Years pass, and at seventeen, Arata Seigi emerges no longer as a helpless boy, but as the masked architect of a new world. He calls his cause Nova Genesis — the birth of a new dawn. A group of outcasts, quirkless, and disillusioned heroes who share his dream of revolution. To the public, they are terrorists. To the powerless, they are saviors. Wearing his white lab coat, black attire, and the complete Infinity Gauntlet on his right arm — its six stones glowing faintly in colors of blue, black, white, yellow, pink, and red — Arata stands as both scientist and savior. Each “stone” is an artificial quirk crystal, containing immense energy forged through forbidden science. While All Might and the Pro Heroes uphold justice, and All For One manipulates from the shadows, Arata seeks something greater: balance. He doesn’t wish to rule the world. He wishes to remake it. In a society bound by hypocrisy, Arata Seigi becomes a paradox — the revolutionary who wields the power of gods, yet dreams of equality. As his six “Infinity Stones” near completion, the world begins to tremble. Villains fear him. Heroes hunt him. The government brands him a threat. But to those who have suffered — the powerless, the forgotten, the broken — Arata Seigi is not a villain. He is hope. He is the dawn that follows destruction. He is the beginning of the end — and the birth of something new. MHA: Project Infinity — A story of science and rebellion. Of a man who defied destiny to challenge gods. And of a world that will never be the same again.

Demonic Slave

The story follows Haruto Aizawa, an 18-year-old college student living a boring single life, but it’s changed when he is teleported to a dangerous place where demons attack and becomes part of the 13th Squad of the Demon Corporation. Earth is full of humans and also many types of demon species which have been living here since the start. To stop the unleashed death of humans by demons, there is the Demon Corporation, a corporation which trains their members to grow stronger and fight against those demons. The Goddess of Creation, Seraphina, is the one who granted humans two types of powers known as Ether and Core. People (both Men and Women) who have Ether are known as Sources, and the people who have a Core are known as Holders or slaves. Sources use their Ether to link it with the Holder's Core; that helps them transform into a powerful beast or entity which unlocks new power and helps the Demon Corporation defeat monsters. Every Ether has different types of power and transforms the Holder into different beasts or powerful entities who help them during battle. While Ether must be suitable for the Holder—and if it isn’t, it won't work—people also train and grow stronger by learning many types of abilities. There are also many people who don’t have Ether or a Core, but they use their Mana as fuel to use different types of abilities and contribute their powers for the safety of the people. In this world, Haruto Aizawa is the only Holder who possesses a Universal Core, allowing him to link with multiple Sources at the same time. While all other Holders are restricted to a single link, Haruto can stack the Ether of the entire 13th Squad to achieve a god-like transformation.

Now feared by devils… Suspected by humans… And slowly losing the memories that make him who he is… Haruto walks the thin line between salvation and annihilation. Because if the devil inside him ever changes its mind— The apocalypse will not be stopped.
