"Special Admission, Rank 1." That was the title on the golden invitation I threw into the trash three months ago. Back then, I was the Crime Lord of Oakhaven. I had money, territory, and an ego that touched the sky. Why would a King lower himself to attend a school? I was arrogant. I was foolish. And I paid the price. It took less than an hour for a single knight to turn my criminal empire into a graveyard. He didn't just defeat me; he ignored me. I was an ant beneath the boot of a god. Broken and desperate, I used my last asset: a golden letter granting me entry to Zenith Imperial Academy as "Special Admission Rank 1." It’s a lie. I’m not a prodigy. I’m a fraud with no foundation, surrounded by the strongest heirs in the Empire who want to see me bleed. I can’t cast their spells. I can’t hold their weapons. But I can steal their lives. My Authority is [Usurper]. While they study theory, I steal reflexes. While they practice honor, I copy trauma. I am not here to learn. I am here to hunt. My targets are the "Four Calamities"—four women who hold powers strong enough to rewrite reality. They think I’m their peer. They don’t know I’m the parasite waiting to hollow them out. I’m going to make them mine. Discord: https://discord.gg/FK9GfrSjtb

The Ninety-Nine Era Ending Calamities descended upon Blue Star. The First Era Ending Calamity awakened people’s talents, but killed those who were unworthy. The Second Era Ending Calamity turned ordinary items into demonic artifacts, but turned the world into a paradise for demons. The Third… Fourth... Each era ending calamity pushed humanity closer to extinction. Now, at the final Ninety-Ninth Era Ending Calamity, only fifteen of us remain. The strongest awakeners humanity had ever produced. Ready to face the final calamity, we were stunned when the Ninety-Ninth Era Ending Calamity turned out to be—Regression. Returning to the day where it all started, we will soon realize that perhaps the most terrifying calamity was standing beside us all along... “Dragons cannot share the same sky; tigers cannot share the same mountain; and there cannot be fifteen heroes in a story with one villain.” ... Zold Starks only wishes to kill the God responsible for the calamities, but will his fellow Regressors support him? Or will they be the first to stand in his way? Whether it was the God or the other Regressors, they would soon realize the biggest mistake they made: They let Zold Starks return. ***** Also known as “Fifteen Regressors At End Times” or “Surviving In The Ninety Ninth Era Ending Calamity” [Global Awakening] + [Apocalypse] + [Multiple Disasters] + [AntiHero MC] + [Genius MC] + [Multiple Individuals Regress] + [Building a Force] + [Single Female Lead] + [Urban]

John, a regular nerd, dies and wakes up in a fantasy world as a pathetic punching bag nobody. He gets killed fast. A tired god needs a long vacation and picks John as substitute ruler of the universe. "How long?" John asks. "Infinity minus one years, roughly," the god says before dipping out.

In a city where monsters walk freely wearing human faces, the law often looks the other way. He was once an elite Para SF commando — trained to eliminate enemies of the nation. Now he lives under a different identity… a quiet “social worker.” But when night falls, his real work begins. Rapists. Human traffickers. Drug lords. The people the system fails to punish. They disappear. No arrests. No trials. No mercy. Because someone is hunting them. And their bodies never go to waste. Their organs enter the black market, funding a mission far bigger than revenge. But when a fearless girl named Rajni enters his life, the line between justice and damnation begins to blur. Is he a savior… or just another monster the city created? In a world of sinners, one man has become judge, jury… and executioner.

What if Aizen Sōsuke descended into the world of Naruto? An Ran finds himself in the Ninja World — playing the role of the mastermind Aizen. To fully unlock his character’s potential, he joins the Akatsuki under the name Aizen Sōsuke. Just as he begins his infiltration, a mysterious invitation pops up: You’ve been invited to the Dimensional Chat Group. And that’s when chaos begins. Dimensional Chat Log: The Actor: Hey guys, I’m Aizen. Just joined. Newbie here. Konan : Welcome! Funny timing — Obito brought in a new recruit too. Gintoki : Wait, a new recruit? Isn’t Itachi supposed to join in like... two years? Konan : Not Itachi. He says he’s Aizen Sosuke. Claims his strongest illusion is Kyōka Suigetsu. Then he pulls out a sword like he’s some kind of samurai. Totally bizarre, right? Gintoki : ??? Sawamura Spencer Eriri : ???

The God of Death has made a return, not to dominate the world, but to change a diaper. Raiking, once the supreme cultivator capable of obliterating civilizations with a mere thought, has emerged from years of isolation to discover that the only mortal he ever cherished is dead. She left behind only a final promise and an infant daughter named Faye. Confronted with the terrifying duty of raising a child and utterly at a loss for how to begin, Raiking seeks the guidance of his legendary Guild members: • ​Ezmelral: A sentient Divine Sword that tackles rocking the cradle with the precision of a military operation. • ​Libinea: A dethroned Phoenix Queen simply trying to manage the ensuing chaos. What mortals perceive as the onset of an apocalyptic conflict is, in fact, a god's frantic quest to obtain: Ordinary milk? No, my daughter deserves only the finest. The Heavens possess the best Celestial Milk? Then we must seize it. She needs a bed? There are whispers in the tavern about a dungeon, locked away for a thousand years, that is soon to be unsealed. Mortal sects are vying for the legendary artifact inside? How unfortunate for them. That Ice Bed is the only thing that can keep her comfortable, so I will claim it. Babies need toys? Then the Dwarven Kingdom must ensure their finest blacksmiths are on the job. Yet, beneath the humor lies a deeper narrative. Raiking’s actions send ripples through the world, drawing the attention of old foes, estranged allies, and a former wife who still believes that fragile human lives hold a significance he has long dismissed. As the child, Faye, grows, she becomes both anchor and enigma: evidence that even the God of Death might be transformed, not by fate, but by the quiet, ordinary moments he once considered trivial. --- This is a slice-of-life comedy about an overpowered dad who tackles parenting dilemmas with excessive force.

Almost six centuries had passed since the Shattering, and its aftershock still shaped every corner of the world. In the ruins it left behind, Luciel chased meaning with the one thing he hated the most: an ordinary, powerless life. Then, a miracle descended, granting him his wish through a mysterious dream. It delivered him a sword, and his soul awakened into the ranks of Resonators. However, Luciel awakened with something no Resonator possessed: a rune system. It read the soul of everyone, including himself, and translated them into an evolving score.

Humans awakened paths... but Othello awakened an anomaly In a Victorian world ruled by supernatural Paths, every individual is born with a destiny. Othello has none. After inheriting a power he never wanted, Othello awakens altered—his body reforged, his emotions dulled, and his very existence deemed unnatural. Scholars cannot name his Path. Churches refuse to acknowledge it. Authorities fear it. As nobles hide corruption behind gilded crests and something ancient stirs beneath the world’s order, Othello is forced into the shadows, searching for the truth behind his inheritance and the disappearance of his Path. Because in a world defined by destiny, a man without one may be the most dangerous of all.

He arrived at the royal capital of the Kingdom of Lugunica. Here, there are magical beasts, spirit users, sword saints, even witches and dragon gods—but no legendary Demon King.

ASHES OF THE TWIN RINGS Two rings. One inherited. Neither explained. Yoren hunts entities for money. He extracts their remains, brews serums from their bones, and sells both without ceremony. He is good at staying invisible — half-human, half-demon, and effortless at passing as neither. The city of Verrath does not know what walks its streets at night. The shadows that follow him home are not its problem. Until they are. When Iron Veil — the city's elite monster-hunting faction — begins tracking unregistered kills with no body attached, and Nullborn, the weapons manufacturer with a classified sub-level, opens an acquisition file on a person they describe only as "the ring-bearer," Yoren's careful distance from the world collapses inward. He is pulled into an alliance he refused three times, a team of seven whose competence irritates him and whose trust he cannot stop himself from earning, and a mystery that predates everyone alive. The rings are not weapons. They are the mechanism for something the first keeper started and never finished. The gate below the Shatter Zone has been waiting two hundred and fifty years for the right person to stand in front of it. The cost is everything Yoren was before he entered. He goes anyway.

In 2026, the world froze over in an apocalyptic ice age. Dean Winters, a man struggling to survive, is betrayed by his lover, his best friend, and the very group he kept alive. Left to die alone in the frozen wasteland, his life came to a bitter end. But death does not claim him. Instead, it hurls him back to a time before the apocalypse began, with every memory intact and a mysterious superpower known as Tyrant’s Ledger. The first of its kind to awaken among humanity, it allows him to perceive numerical values that reveal whether a person is hostile or friendly, and whether an object, location, or resource is spoiled, corrupted, or lethally dangerous. This time, with his newfound power, Dean won’t just survive. He will crush anyone who stands in his way, gather the powerful under his banner, take revenge on those who betrayed him, and rise from the snow as a true Winter Tyrant.

In a debt-crushed rural corner of China, jade miner Touming drowns under crushing loans: 12.8 million won in personal debt and a staggering 165.8 million won family curse stretching back six generations. Hounded by four ruthless loan sharks and six mafia-connected gangs demanding monthly blood money, he scrapes by smuggling tiny jade fragments from brutal 12-hour mine shifts. One desperate night, after selling everything he owns to meet a payment and still arriving two minutes late, enforcers beat him to the edge of death. As life fades on a filthy alley street, an ancient jade-bound system awakens inside him—granting supernatural sight through solid rock and uncanny 999+ luck in uncovering priceless jade veins.

In a world where magic, monsters, and superheroes didn't exist, Kai was just an ordinary guy. Until he was betrayed, paralyzed, and left to rot in a public ward by the very people he tried to save. As he lay trapped in his broken body, waiting for a death that wouldn't come, a cold voice rang out: [Emotion Harvest System activated. You can use any emotion—and any soul—to create life.] In a powerless world, he became the only anomaly. He started small. He forged a two-meter nightmare out of pure agony to butcher the elite family that destroyed him. But then he realized: killing them one by one was too slow. To harvest true power, he needed the entire planet to feel. So, he created both sides of the coin. The apocalyptic Demon Lord who invaded Earth. And the shining, miraculous Hero who descended to save humanity. Now, the world cheers for the Hero he controls by day, and screams in terror at the Demon he commands by night. There are no gods in this world. Only a paralyzed man in a hospital bed, pulling the strings of both salvation and destruction. He isn’t here to destroy the world. He’s here to make it perform for him. Try the first four chapters. If the story leaves an impression, keep it.

The greatest enemy of mankind, an Arch Deofol that reads a future like a book, read it to a vain noble, Rotsard Vallhall. The story was about a great hero who would save their world, but in that story, Rotsard was only a third-rate, stepping-stone villain who died in shame within two years. After finishing, the Arch Deofol mocked Rotsard. If he changes the main points of the story and saves himself, mankind is doomed. If he chooses to save mankind and not interfere, his own life, his very soul, will be forfeit in the most pitiful and shameful way. What it wanted to do was to throw Rotsard into despair that would sweeten his soul, the Arch Deofol would then devour. What it didn't account for, was how spiteful the young noble was.
