DARKHEART

In a world where the fabric of reality is fraying, an ancient prophecy foretells the arrival of a demon whose power is destined to annihilate all life on Earth. As whispers of his coming spread, panic grips humanity, forcing the distinct factions of Seraphites, Deviants, and humans to confront their own demons—both literal and figurative. The Seraphites, once revered as guardians, have become rigidly dogmatic, struggling against their own fears and doubts about faith. The Deviants, a society of outcasts mutated by demonic influence, wrestle with their monstrous natures and the primal instincts that threaten to consume them. Meanwhile, ordinary humans are caught in a web of chaos, trying to carve out a survival in a world where monsters roam freely. Entangled deep in the web of warfare is the demon in question, Tristan. Contrary to his role in the prophecy, his arrival on earth motivates him to seek freedom from the shackles of Hell. As the clock ticks toward the prophecy's fulfillment, Tristan is forced to fight against all factions, including his own brethren. Through epic battles and fierce self-discovery, Tristan learns that true evil isn't determined by one's origin but by the content of their heart. In Darkheart, the fate of existence hangs in the balance as the characters confront their worst fears and grow stronger, unlocking the potential within to become the ultimate force against the darkness threatening to engulf their world. THIS NOVEL IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT; PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT PERFECTION....

Genshin Impact: The Inverted Ideals

Elara has 23 days to live. Her world is ending not with war or climate disaster, but with a slow, silent dimming of reality's fundamental laws. As a physicist specializing in ontological decay, she volunteers for a desperate experiment: to pass through "The Tear," a rift in reality itself, in the faint hope that something lies on the other side. What she finds is Teyvat—a world of breathtaking beauty and profound, hidden horror. Here, the gods have not fallen to evil. They have fractured under the weight of their own divine natures. Their celestial Ideals have transformed into monstrous inversions: Freedom has become Mandatory Euphoria—a gilded cage where joy is enforced and sorrow is treason. Contracts have become Reality-Binding Law—where every promise literally reshapes the world, and broken vows collapse spacetime. Eternity has become Perfect Stasis—a nation frozen in a single moment of grief, its goddess forever being comforted by her dead sister's preserved corpse. Wisdom has become Silent Hoarding—knowledge not shared, but archived, with living minds harvested for data. Justice has become Theatrical Narrative—where trials are performances and verdicts rewrite history for better drama. War has become Meaningless Spectacle—conflict with no purpose beyond its own beautiful execution. Love has become Smothering Devotion—a frozen, all-consuming affection that leaves no room for individual will. Guided by Dainsleif, the last keeper of a destroyed nation that dared diagnose the divine sickness, Elara is identified as the Fourth Descender—a consciousness from outside Teyvat's system, immune to its conceptual distortions. Her very presence acts as a mirror, forcing the broken gods to glimpse their own reflections. Hunted by Celestia—not a tyrannical heaven, but an exhausted, celestial bureaucracy trying to manage the divine madness—and pursued by the Tsaritsa, who sees Elara as the perfect "ink" to write her frozen, loving world, Elara embarks on a pilgrimage across seven nations. Her mission is not to defeat gods, but to perform the most dangerous act possible in a world of absolute, twisted convictions: to ask questions. Why are you doing this? What do you truly want? Do you remember what you were before you broke? As she walks, the distortions begin to crack. The wind hesitates. Stones forget their contracts. Time stutters forward. And the gods, confronted with the first being they cannot control, cannot comprehend, and cannot ignore, face a choice: cling to their beautiful, terrible madness, or risk the terrifying, painful, glorious uncertainty of becoming something real again.

One Piece: The Accidental Emperor

Recently, a reporter from the World Economic Journal risked their life to secure an exclusive interview with the pirate who had just risen to the rank of one of the Four Emperors—Louis Bardell. Now known across the seas as “Pirate Commodore Bardell,” he carries a reputation unlike any other. Every captain he had ever sworn loyalty to was dead. Capone “Gang” Bege. Gecko Moria. Shiki the Golden Lion. Charlotte Linlin. One after another, the giants of the era fell. And yet Bardell alone climbed higher. From subordinate… to survivor… to Emperor of the Sea. To the world at large, Bardell is the most cunning fraud of the Great Pirate Era—a master schemer, a manipulator of grand designs, an ambitious mind said to rival even Blackbeard himself. But when confronted by the reporter, the newly crowned Emperor nearly burst into tears. “They’ve completely lost their minds with these theories!” Bardell complained bitterly. “They keep saying I betrayed my captains from the shadows. Tell me—does anyone honestly think I’m smart enough to pull that off?” He looked genuinely aggrieved. “Every captain I ever joined died in some kind of accident. I don’t even know what’s going on anymore!” He threw his hands in the air. “And becoming one of the Four Emperors? That wasn’t even my idea! Big Mom was terrifyingly strong, and then—bam!—she was just gone! The next thing I know, everyone pushes me forward and says I’m the new Emperor!” He leaned toward the reporter urgently. “You’re journalists. Report the truth! Clear my name! Print more papers if you have to, alright?!” The reporter merely adjusted their glasses and calmly finished their notes. Observe closely. Even at the pinnacle of success, the great fraud remains flawless—careful, airtight, never leaving a single crack in his story.

Star Wars Rebels: A Gray Tale

SW Legends + Canon AU ____ Alex was a software dev by day and a gamer by night, until he woke up in a galaxy far, far away. He was stuck in the scrawny seven-year-old body of Ezra Bridger, right after the Empire arrested his parents for being rebels. Talk about terrible respawn timing. Now he's trapped on Lothal, starving, powerless, and eight long years away from the Ghost crew ever showing up. Meanwhile, Darth Sidious and Vader are out there collecting skulls, and Alex knows exactly how short the average lifespan of Force-sensitives can be. Running for the rest of his life? No thanks. He refuses to be just another street rat scrambling to survive in his second chance. If he was going to be a space wizard, he was going to be the strongest one. Period. His pursuit of power led him to a single, forbidden question: one that the Jedi and Sith alike would kill to bury forever. What if midi-chlorians (the very things that connect everyone to the Force) could be extracted, stolen, ripped from another's body and made your own? Some people call that heresy. He calls it survival, and maybe, if he plays this right, something a whole lot more. Because why settle for your birthright when you can absorb someone else's. ____ VOLUME 1: The Prequel is completed.

I wanted to really read one fanfic where Ezra is the MC, and so I ended up writing one instead. Please give it a try and tell me your thoughts The plan sit to have this book be a part of the saga that would go on covering the best of star wars from all media chronologically viable to be involved in the fanfic, including but not limited to web series, games, comics and movies. The world is an mix of OG Star Wars, Disney Continuity (Other than those god-forsaken sequels I refuse to accept as canon) and LEGEND Continuity. The weak-to-strong tag is for the whole story, not just this prequel volume. Adios!

Combat Slave Harem

[ Smut (18+) ] Henry Lukas was nothing special. A loner. A failure. A guy whose biggest achievement was surviving one more day in a world that never gave a damn about him. Bullied, humiliated, betrayed; he’d stopped believing in dreams, people, or even himself. That is, until the day a goddess smiled as he died. Now, he's been selected by the Goddess of Mischief to become a Dimensional Journeyman—a wanderer across chaotic worlds filled with monsters, magic, and madness. Armed with only a random Aspect and the ability to choose his starting world, Henry’s second life begins with a twisted gift: He must pick one of five wildly different routes, each more insane than the last. 1. Dual Leveling in the Apocalypse: A ravaged Earth where monsters reign and only those who can level twice can hope to survive. 2. Heaven's Descent: Gods descend, civilizations crumble, and faith becomes a weapon. 3. Rebirth: Dual Cultivator: In a lust-fueled cultivation realm, power and passion go hand in hand. 4. Combat Slave Harem: A brutal world ruled by strength and conquest. The more you dominate, the stronger you become. 5. Re: Vampire and Dragon: A war-torn fantasy where immortals rule, and only forbidden bloodlines can challenge fate. But is this truly a second chance... or just another cruel joke? With no one to trust, memories soaked in pain, and a goddess who clearly enjoys watching him squirm, Henry will have to carve his own path in worlds more twisted than fiction. Revenge, power, women, freedom, purpose; whatever it is he seeks, he’ll have to earn it. Because this time, the fate destiny won't break him. This time… he’ll break free from his destiny. --- Tags: Isekai, Antihero Protagonist, Dark Fantasy, Slave Harem (Gradual), Revenge, Leveling Systems, Multiple Worlds, Emotional Trauma, Ruthless MC, Psychological Growth, NSFW (After 20) --- If You're a reader who enjoy brutal isekai with emotional depth, morally grey decisions, and worlds that push both power and sanity to the limit.

The Chronicle of the Lost Hypostasis

When Aether Caelum Noctis awakens on a rain-soaked street with no memories, the world greets him not with answers—but with golden text floating in the air: [Editorial Note: The protagonist awakens.] Haunted by visions he shouldn’t see and knowledge he shouldn’t possess, Aether soon discovers a disturbing truth: reality itself is a story, constantly rewritten across six overlapping planes. And he is something that should not exist inside it. Branded with the sigil of a broken hourglass, Aether carries a Fragment of a Hypostasis—a divine eldritch being whose essence governs narrative, causality, and forgotten truths. But every gift comes with a curse. Each time Aether changes his fate, the world loops. Each loop spawns a shadowy version of himself in the Nocturne Abyss—an entity that grows stronger every time the timeline resets, hunting him relentlessly. To survive, Aether must uncover: why he was erased from all written histories, who shattered his divine existence, what is consuming the Hypostases one by one, and why the universe insists he must “return what he stole.” As timelines collapse, nightmares leak into reality, and the laws of fate rewrite themselves, Aether walks a path where every choice births a paradox—and every paradox brings him closer to reclaiming the truth behind his own annihilation. But the deeper he dives into the cosmic script, the clearer one fact becomes: Aether wasn’t reborn into the story. He is the story that broke free.

First Intergalactic Emperor: Starting With The Ancient Goddess

WARNING- Contains Mature Themes and Contents! Xavier was a poor, bullied loser who got beaten for fun, ignored like trash, and laughed at like he wasn’t even human. Living at the bottom of society. No power, no money, no future. That changed the day a ancient goddess responded to his prayers and made him a God. Now armed with the Unlimited Money System, Xavier can buy anything. His balance is infinite. Money rains when he speaks. He can buy power, respect, empires, cities, loyalty, fear—anything. If it exists, he can afford it. To unlock his true power as a God, Xavier must gather the fragments of the fallen goddess—each one hidden across galaxies, buried in ancient vaults, or locked behind wars, politics, and secrets. Every piece brings him closer to rewriting reality itself. He could absorb the powers hidden inside beautiful women, each more dangerous—and alluring—than the last. From humiliating the rich elite to breaking into galactic vaults, from building a harem of deadly wives to rewriting the rules of interstellar war… Xavier’s path to legend has no brakes. Follow Xavier as he rises from nothing, and becomes not only the richest man in the universe—but also the most feared. *_+_+_+_* Note- This is a harem novel, but the focus is on Xavier’s revenge and rise—not just the girls. Romance happens naturally. No rape, no ntr, no yuri. The system won't be giving quest like fuck this girl and fuck that girl. But if Xavier wants to seduce a girl he likes, the system will help him by giving relevant quests. This is a sci-fi novel and there is mention and presence of gods and all, but they are already classified as highly intelligent extraterrestrial beings. I have also included fantasy races like vampires, dragons, werewolves, elves, etc. as a species of space. I won't be spoiling more than that. I just wanted you guys to know what you were getting into before you read this novel, and what to expect from it. If you’re here for a ruthless anti-hero—he arrives after Chapter 16. Xavier starts naive and kind, shaped by a peaceful village life. But once the world shows its true face… he changes.

The Demon Kings Journey Across Different Verses

Ok, so this is my first time writing a story. I never wrote one for someone else to read. I took inspiration from many different stories. I'm not claiming all the ideas i will use in this story as mine, maybe they have already been used in a much better way. Conclusion? I'm a novice. I'm not claiming that you will like this story but i hope you give constructive criticism. Oh and English is not my first language. You may find a few errors but I will try to convey the story in a way that most people can understand, atleast I hope so. ___________________________________ A nameless soul, an insignificant man, died and was given a chance. A chance to start anew. Death offered him a second chance, but not the one he expected. He was going to be reborn into the world of Demon Slayer with a mysterious system, he barely has time to understand his advantage before fate twists violently out of control. Canon shifts, destiny collapses, and he awakens as the very being meant to be destroyed. Now burdened with an identity soaked in blood and karma, he must navigate power, consequence, and choice across worlds beyond his own. This is a story of adventure, curiosity, and the weight of inherited sins, which he tries to shrug off with some fun. He is Muzan now, and the journey has only begun. {{Did the synopsr hit? Cause honestly, I don't know if this was good enough. Eh whatever. The reason I'm writing this bullshit is because I see a lot of Translations and Ai written novels around here, and I don't mean to complain but why is no-one writing by themselves anymore?! Now I don't think I'm starting some movement or revolution or anything but I just wanna say that I'll write this and I'll write even more! I'm gonna create a REAL NOVEL!! Not just these fanfics, and I'm gonna do my best to contend with some of the bests.It might sound crazy and arrogant but I do mean Lotm, Shadow Slave, Reverend Insanity, Throne of Magical Arcana and ORV. I'll try my best atleast.}} (Don't pay attention to what I wrote above! I don't even KNOW where my shame was when I wrote all that! Ofcourse this is just the starting so don't pay too much attention to the stupid stuff I wrote and just tell me how I can improve!)
