Claimed by the Ruler of the World.

Cain Adams is a 20-year-old freshman who somehow ends up studying at one of the most expensive universities in the country—a place meant for heirs, prodigies, and the powerful. Surrounded by wealth and privilege he doesn’t belong to, Cain expects only one thing from college: survive long enough to graduate. Then, out of curiosity and boredom, he download a strange dating app. At first, it seems harmless. Until the day he sees it. During class, Cain notices a floating white mask watching him through the window. No one else sees it. The next day, Eliza dies. But when Cain opens his eyes again, he wakes up to the previous morning. Time has reset. Trapped in a repeating cycle, Cain slowly realizes the horrifying truth: the mask has chosen him. Every woman he saw in his dream—both in real life and inside the app—is destined to die. Accidents. Murders. Mystery. Disappearances. Each regression drags Cain deeper into the nightmare, forcing him to watch the same tragedies again and again as his mind slowly begins to fracture. To escape the endless loop, Cain must save four/three women whose fates are mysteriously tied to his own. But the more he tries to change their futures… the more the world seems determined to kill them. And somewhere behind it all— the mask is always watching. [THE PIERROT]

Ryo Kenzaki was good at being invisible. Just another high schooler, keeping his head down and waiting for each day to end. Then a star fell from the sky. When Ryo pulls a dying woman from the crater it leaves behind, he learns the world he knows is already breaking. Beyond it lies the Hunting Realm—a place where monsters are born from fallen Hunters, and something is beginning to push through. Hunted by a creature he cannot understand, Ryo is dragged to a sanctuary between worlds and forced into a choice that was never really his: take up a Kizugami, a living blade forged from wounds, or die before dawn. But the blade doesn’t obey. It judges. As the weapon begins to search his soul, Ryo is pulled into a war he never asked to join—one shadowed by an impossible Eye in the sky, a relentless Kaimon on his trail, and an ending that may already have been decided. Ryo never wanted to be a Hunter. But if becoming one is the only way to protect what remains, he’ll have to answer a far more dangerous question: When the world strips everything from him, can he still stand as himself once more?

Blurb: He was once mindless trash. Vermin. An Imp. No name, no purpose. No future. He was supposed to die in the Maw like the rest. Mindless, crawling meat for something stronger to chew on. But something broke. A spark buried itself inside him... something ancient, older than Hell itself. Now he can see. He can think. He can Evolve. Hell doesn't know it yet, but the bottom just stood up. And he's hungry. Synopsis: The lowest demon in Hell. An imp without thought, spawned from filth, born for slaughter. Then he devoured a glitched system shard, something that shouldn’t exist in Hell. It gave him thought. It gave him power. It gave him the chance to evolve. Crawling through a realm of endless death and rot, he forced open a path to Earth. But in the year 2125, Earth isn’t what it once was. A hundred years ago, the Convergence shattered reality. Dimensions merged and the Dungeons fell. Civilization ended. Now, after a century of struggle, the Five Kings rule what's left, each carving out their own empires with overwhelming power. Like the Beast Taming King, who controls what was once Africa. His lands teem with monsters. Users flock to farm his dungeons, capturing beasts, gather rare materials...if they can survive, and don't forget to pay tribute. Or the Undead King, who holds what was once Europe and Russia in an iron grip. Endless legions of the dead serve him, his people loyal and fanatical. Behind an iron mask, he enforces absolute authority. A tyrant, loved by his people, living or dead. Everywhere, system users chase their own power. Shards grant anything from petty stats to world-shaking destinies. Everyone sees themselves as the hero, the protagonist of their own story. All of this is maintained and guided through the Network, a system-spanning infrastructure no human can escape. It ranks, registers, and controls. But not everywhere. Beyond the king's territories lie the Freelands, lawless zones they can’t or won’t hold. Here, gangs and corporations carve up ground while dimensional rifts swallow entire city blocks, wild dungeons drop without warning, and violence is the only law. He shouldn’t even exist in the Network. He’s not human. But his shard is corrupted...tainted. He slips through its firewalls, unregistered, unranked and free. Consuming the life and identity of Wohan Seo-jin, a system user and gang boss on the drowned coast of what was once Korea, he takes everything: his face, his memories, his men. Now he owns a foothold in the human world. And he plans to keep it. Survival isn’t enough. There is too much to want, too much to take for his own. System users, demons, dimensional races, even gods, he’ll push past every limit, evolve beyond every threat, and claim everything he desires...no matter the cost. #Litrpg #DarkFantasy #Grimdark #ProgressionFantasy #Post-apocalyptic

John Niagobert, a third-year college student, died during a class trip after being pushed into a cold, rocky river as a prank. The freezing water dragged him down, and his life ended in darkness. But death was not the end. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself inside the world of a novel he once loved—a story he had read countless times. Yet now, it was no longer fiction. It was real, cruel, and far more dangerous than he remembered. Worse, he wasn’t the protagonist. John had taken the body of William Vixxon, a minor character the author barely explained. The novel revealed almost nothing about the WEST, about William’s past, or about the life he was supposed to live. He had no allies, no knowledge, and no safe path forward. He woke inside a nearly collapsing house, in a land where survival itself was uncertain. The only things he gained in this new life were a useless system and a regression ability. In a world filled with monsters, warriors, and powerful nobles, they were hardly enough to keep him alive. Yet he had no choice. If he wanted to survive, he had to escape his current fate and reach the Royal Academy—the only place where he might stay safe in this merciless world. But in a story where he barely exists… How long can he survive before the world erases him completely?
