"If she feels pain, then I'll make sure we all do..." As a purple and pink tailed meteor enters Earth's atmosphere, it begins "snowing" all over the planet. Humans are no longer on top of the ladder. A crystal ice dragon explodes from the space rock, creating Hell. Bringing along an ambush of bloodthirsty aliens, some large enough to demolish buildings, "Leviathan" has forced humanity into various locations of hiding around the world. Within three years after the initial invasion, humans have begun to not only fight back against the aliens, but some choose to become symbiotic hosts, acquiring "magical" abilities after slaying one of the unconventional extraterrestrials. Shortly before leaving their sanctuary/apocalypse training academy, two once drifted friends, Katsu and Saku, are reunited on the same scout team. As polar opposite personalities they are chosen by the only surviving "Creator of Humanity". Both boys become 'blessed' to be hosts for their universe's contemporary forces and use those "God given abilities" to achieve their (secretly combative) goals. Accompanying them is Katsu's adopted sister, Shelly. Regarded as "The Beast of the Beasts" by her peers, she is the reincarnate of her grandmother. The greatest, most underrated female Scandinavian sword fighter to live before the 13th century. After learning of her destined lineage, and admiring the otherwise "mythical" accomplishments completed by her top tier, ass kicking Valkyrie grandma, Shelly is determined to retrieve all of the stolen blades from those who dishonorably stole them over 800 years ago. In order to do so she will have to defeat several members of a manipulative covenant of warrior witches. Each woman blessed with an undiscovered form of energy that has unknowingly coexisted with humanity. These 7 women usher in the POST-post-apocalyptic world as Mafia Bosses, Matriarch Socialist Dictators, Seafaring Conquerors, and a few just want to see this new snow covered world burn. To prove which unnaturally born creature is the Supreme Ultimate amongst them. Aliens, action, romance, betrayal of old friends, the gaining of trust from new, overpowered goofballs, magical damsel despots, righteous and nefarious humans gaining niche powers, not to mention a secretive psychopath using his God given abilities to preserve who he views as his sole purpose. In the end, will love truly conquer all, or will 'their' love conquer us all? "If you have a beloved purpose you can't live a day without, do you truly have any freedom to live? If you have complete freedom to act however, or say whatever you desire, do you truly have any purpose worth caring about to protect?" ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ [All character and cover art is not done by AI but by my good friend Amon-kun] ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ WARNING/DISCLAIMER: This series uses ætiological mythopoeism to spotlight coincidental parallels between various religious scriptures, and scientific theories but is in no way discrediting or belittling the beliefs of others whether that be Creationist or Evolutionist.

The protagonist awakens in an endless void, surrounded by silence and absolute darkness. A strange sense of emptiness fills him, yet he feels no fear. It is as if everything—even his own existence—has lost its meaning. Is he dead? Or is this merely the beginning of something else? He searches for an answer but finds nothing. His memories are hazy, shrouded in mist. He was a 21-year-old student, living in isolation, knowing only books and distant wild animals. His world had always been quiet, dim—as if life itself had eluded him. Then, in a fleeting moment of clarity, he finds himself… somewhere else. But is it a real place? Or just a lingering thought, a dream fading within the depths of his mind? Deep within an icy cave, amidst shattered bones, stands a massive statue of an ancient ice dragon, its frozen gaze fixed upon two mysterious eggs. The air is charged with an invisible presence, as if this cave is not just a place, but the very essence of darkness itself. Is he still alive? Or merely a faint echo of a forgotten idea? {“I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com”}

It's been over 300 years since every human, witch, wizard, hag, vampire, centaur, dwarf, and every other supernatural race residing on Earth suddenly found themselves on Floor Zero of the Tower. The population now sits just under 20 million, a sharp contrast to the original 8.2 billion. As a result, anyone under the age of sixteen is required to attend the Academy of Beginnings, a place designed to prepare them for the climb and uncover the mysteries of the Tower—why the System brought them here, and what lies at its peak. But with the highest known completed Floor being Floor 34… they still have a long way to go.

Deacon Surtr Hayes stands on the cusp of graduating from the Academy of Beginnings, ready to claim his Tier 1 Class and ascend the Tower with his closest friends by his side. At least, that’s what should have happened.

​Brakus grew up in the shadow of a fallen hero, harboring a secret about his father’s death that shattered his faith in the system. While society worships costumed icons, he lives by a cold, private conviction: “Capes aren’t necessary; they are only for show.” He doesn't fight for justice or the greater good—he only fights to protect his family. ​But a global Shadow Company is moving to reshape the world, and they’ve spent years tracking Brakus’s lineage. When they strike at his inner circle, Brakus is forced into a war he never wanted. He isn't out to save the city; he’s out to dismantle the people who touched his blood. In a world of manufactured miracles, he will prove that the most dangerous man isn't the one wearing a cape—it’s the one who only cares about the person standing next to him.

When he finally falls, he does not return to his world. He lands on an Earth that is not Earth. A dying world ruled by the Nightmare Spell. Here, sleep is judgment. Nightmares are trials. Power is ranked, measured, recorded. Fate speaks in verdicts. The Spell tries to claim him under a stolen name. Gray. Then it notices the anomaly. A foreign will that refuses definition. The trial escalates to Hell grade. Li Xiao Bai does not seek acceptance. He does not ask for mercy. He seeks only one thing. Immortality. And he will turn this curse into a ladder.

In a world where elites steal supernatural powers from the weak, Leon Storm’s father was scrubbed from existence after a suspicious crash. All that remained was his paintbrush—and a volatile golden power now erupting in Leon, a storm of golden light, forged in grief and rage.

Every closed door, every doubting voice, only sharpens his edge. As the storm within him grows, one question remains: Control the storm, or become the disaster the world deserves. The choice is his.

Marked by death before his life has truly begun, Levi exists on borrowed time—until midnight comes to collect its debt. When a crimson door appears where reality should not allow one, Levi is torn from his dying world and cast into a realm ruled by an inescapable bargain: survive the trials of the Midnight Spell, or be erased beyond memory. Reborn into an unfamiliar body and stripped of every advantage, he awakens at the foot of Blackwind Mountain—a place where mercy does not exist, and endurance itself is a weapon.

It was a normal world. At least for those ‘normal’ folks. A life of normalcy wasn’t for Zaen, a 19-year-old dropout whose life wasn’t as messed up as the others.

A top assassin dies after killing his own boss, and instead of staying dead like he should, he wakes up in a cultivation world that feels like it came straight out of every cliché he’s ever heard about. Broken meridians, bullied by clan members who look down on him, a father who gave up on him for a younger brother with better talent, and an engagement annulled with a beauty… or maybe not that trope. Nothing special. Just unlucky. When he finally decides to leave the clan and find his own path, he discovers something strange about himself. People drop attributes while doing things, and for some reason, only he can see and interact with them. A cultivator repeatedly tempering his body leaves behind things like— [Strength +6] [Stamina Recovery +8] [Body Tempering Progress +5%] An alchemist wasting herbs and ruining pills over and over drops— [Alchemy Talent (Low)] [Herb Identification +15] [Pill Stability +7] A swordsman practicing the same technique until his hands go numb drops— [Sword Muscle Memory +9] [Blade Intent Fragment] [Combat Awareness +4] And when someone dies, the drops become even more ridiculous— [Strength +321] [Death ×3] [Physique Fragment: Jade Bone] [Incomplete Cultivation Insight] All of it can be picked up by him. He doesn’t need cultivation talent, bloodlines, or a master’s guidance, because while others spend years training, comprehending, and risking their lives for small improvements, he collects everything they leave behind, whether it’s stats, techniques, talents, physiques, or even professions. In a martial world where effort, talent, and luck decide how far you can go, his path is simple. Let others work. He’ll take the results.

The origin of the races is a legend buried beneath blood and silence. In Eiralon, six races rule the world. In the shadows, however, the Estiels endure — the only race of men born with strength comparable to beasts — treated as an ancient mistake, erased deep within the heart of a forbidden forest. It was among them that Riven was born. Fragile. Breakable. A flaw that should never have existed — and that not even fate dared to acknowledge. While his people worshiped brute strength, Riven learned to survive with his mind. Where others raised swords and chanted magic, he gathered strategies, patterns, weaknesses. He mastered knowledge of deadly creatures. Strategy instead of brutality. For long enough, he believed that thinking would be enough to make him useful. Until the day his “safe” world shattered. And for the first time, Riven understood the cruelest truth: no one spares the weak — and to love someone in Eiralon is to have something they can tear away from you. To keep existing… and not abandon the one he loves… Riven accepted an ancient power, beyond any known limit of mana — a power with no return. The disease that devours him has a mysterious origin, and the cost is not only physical: his soul begins to fracture into multiple consciousnesses. With every decision, he becomes less human. With every step, pain stops being a warning… and becomes fuel. Riven does not walk to save kingdoms. He walks because stopping means losing everything. And when the world finally understands what he has become, there will be no room left for destiny’s betrayals. Only silence will remain… and voices bowed low enough to say: — We salute the Sovereign.

They called him a cripple. A failure. A man destined to crawl beneath the feet of the mighty. Yet Fang Zhen defied it all—rising from scorned outcast to the greatest martial artist the world had ever known. Gods, sects, and kings alike feared the name Fang Zhen. But just as he stood on the brink of transcendence, the world united against him. Outnumbered, wounded, and betrayed, he fell… laughing in the face of death. But death is not the end. In a twist of fate, Fang Zhen is reincarnated into a foreign world as William Alaric, the sickly and disregarded son of a noble family. No prestige, no strength, no legacy. Yet one thing remains unchanged—his iron will. Armed with memories of his past life and a heart burning with the fire of martial passion, William vows to rise again. To defy the heavens, rewrite the laws of this new world, and reclaim his throne at the peak of it all. From scorned noble to future legend, a warrior reborn takes his first steps once more. "Only those that have Fallen can Rise above it all."

He awoke inside a mysterious egg, only to discover that he was no longer human. Trapped in a strange world, he begins a journey toward ultimate power and control. In a path filled with mystery, challenges, and hunting… he realizes a shocking truth: he was not the true hero, but merely a starting point for the hero chosen by the world. He was nothing more than a blazing tool, a resource provided for the fortunate one… the one chosen by the will of the world. He is not the hero… but the villain, or simply an opportunity created for the hero to grow stronger and fulfill his destiny.
