ECLIPSE OF THE OBSEDIAN CITADEL Twenty years ago, the Shadowveil Clan was annihilated under a blood moon. The Covenant—the syndicate that rules Valthor from their impregnable Obsidian Citadel—made sure of it. Men, women, children. No survivors. Or so they believed. Riven Kain was a child when he watched his family burn. He crawled into the Void Marches with nothing but their screams in his ears. In that cursed wasteland where reality fractures and shadows hunger, he made a choice: survival at any cost. The Void answered. It gave him power. Void-black eyes. The ability to move through shadows, to kill without sound, to become the nightmare the Covenant never saw coming. But the Void doesn't give gifts—it trades. Every life Riven takes as **Eclipse** devours another piece of his soul. Every step closer to the Ten Pillars drags him deeper into the monster he's becoming. His emotions are fading. His memories blur. Soon, there will be nothing left but vengeance wearing human skin. The Covenant built their empire on secrets and blood. As Eclipse carves his way through their ranks, he uncovers truths darker than the Void itself—truths about the Shadowveil massacre, about the Ten Pillars, about the very power consuming him. Some secrets are worth dying for. Some vengeance demands you become the very evil you swore to destroy. But there is one light in the darkness. One person who sees the man beneath the monster. One chance at redemption—if Riven can remember why he's human at all. --- This is not a story of heroes. This is calculated kills and brutal betrayals. Shadow-soaked infiltration and blood-drenched revelation. A protagonist who might lose everything—including himself—before the Citadel falls. No mercy. No salvation. Just the question: How much of your soul would you sacrifice for revenge? --- EOC is a dark progression fantasy where power has a price, and some debts can never be repaid.

Thousands of years ago, humankind left the Old World. We enter a new age where science and magic are no longer opposing concepts. With these new opportunities came danger in the form of the Dark Races and the ones that named themselves Gods. However, if there was one thing humans were good at was their ability to destroy. Humankind fought and carved a bloody path into the new world. Cain's luck had never been good, but his destiny changed forever once he decided to harden his heart and face the world without fear or hesitation. --Godslayer Humankind's motto.-- We can comprehend the supernatural. We can dominate the supernatural. We can kill the supernatural - Adam, Emperor of Godslayer Humankind, The First Titan. Current schedule: 21 chapters a week.

I had set aside the old demons that gnawed at my heart. I was at peace with myself, enjoying the gentle beauty of amber wheat fields, verdant plains, and the azure sky of France. Such a beautiful sky! Like glittering jewels reflecting in my eyes. Then everything vanished. A rift tore open the sky and horror descended.

Some say he is the bad apple in a basket, that he's rotting everything around him with disgrace and corruption. Some say he is the biggest scum of the southern continent of Jambu, that he's colluding with the dark sects to cheat, steal, and commit all manner of atrocities. Some say he is the most wanted playboy. "Lock your daughters at home to keep Fang Xing away!" To all of those people, "That's right, I am that big rotten apple. Any problem with that?" --on indefinite hiatus with the current PtH team. Last chapter: 425 on Dec 31, 2018.

When Lucas Reed opens his eyes as an infant, he realizes that he has transmigrated into another world. Before long, he discovers something even more astonishing—he possesses an extraordinarily powerful Saiyan bloodline. As he grows, Lucas gradually comes to understand the nature of this world. It is a universe where figures such as Captain America exist, where Stark Industries dominates the technological frontier—a world that looks unmistakably like a Marvel reality. Just as he begins to accept this, a shocking revelation appears on television: news about Wayne Enterprises. At that moment, even Lucas Reed—a Saiyan by blood—cannot help but feel uneasy. Marvel… and DC? However, when soldiers come, he will meet them head-on; when floods arrive, he will block them with strength. Lucas decides that no matter how chaotic or dangerous this hybrid world may be, he will rely on his fists alone to make it understand one thing: The might of a Saiyan is not to be challenged.

To this day, Associate Professor Li is still somewhat puzzled. Why has the Immortal Cultivation Realm changed so much in just a hundred years? Looking at the new Sword Sect elective textbook on the table, Li became more silent. [Chapter 1, Introduction to Sword Control Theory] [Chapter 2, Maintenance and Care of Qinghe Series Thousand Machines Cruiser] [Chapter 3, Postpartum Care of Sword-Toothed Beasts] ...... Closing the textbook, Li gave up thinking. But just as he was gathering his teaching materials to go to class, a brick-thick book was thrown in through the window. 'You Let Me Enter the Sword Sect' Looking at this broken book, Associate Professor Li Guanqi recalled the afternoon he brought Zhang Ze into the Sword Sect.

A dark fantasy LitRPG centered on dungeon evolution, brutal combat, and an unforgiving system—where survival demands becoming a monster among monsters. Sneak Peek: “The fifteen-foot-tall figure planted its steps confidently into the earth, each stride even and unhurried. From its form to its mannerisms, everything whispered the same truth: this creature was not human.” “In its massive hands rested a single orb, no larger than a palm.” “The sound snapped through the air and echoed across the grotto.” One by one, the creatures awakened. [Issued Command 1]: Do not attack other creatures for 1 hour. [Issued Command 2]: Find a place to hide. ”However, some attempted to bypass the system and turned on their neighbors. Before they could even lay a hand upon them, their bodies detonated—reduced to ruptured flesh and scattered blood.”

Death is only a transition. For the soul of a contemporary man, it became reincarnation into the void, where his only reality was a body of pure energy. But one reckless experiment tossed him into the body of an infant in a shinobi world he’d always thought was fiction — a world ruled by Blood and Chakra. Briefly about what to expect from the book: 1. Atmosphere: Positive Pragmatism! This is NOT a darkfic. Most of the story is written in a positive tone, often with dark humor. Yes, there is tragedy at the beginning—but it’s only a catalyst for the rise of a strong protagonist. This is a story about reaching the top and showing that growth actually has a price, not about endless whining and self-pity. 2. World and Plot You’re in for a deep AU that explores chakra mechanics far beyond canon. Like the “Evolution” tag? You’ll find something similar here—after all, this is a world of blood. As the story progresses, the battles become increasingly flashy, cinematic, and high-stakes. 3. Canon Hmm… yeah, sounds vaguely familiar. Might’ve seen it in passing.But with new variables in play, events go a little—or completely—off the rails. 4. Socials & Characters There’s a strong focus on humor and on developing side characters—both their personalities and their strength. The reincarnated protagonist, however, changes the most, going from an ordinary student to something far greater. Don’t worry, though: heavy introspection is mostly confined to the beginning. This fanfic definitely isn’t just endless navel-gazing. Warning: There will be polyamory, as well as “incest.” The quotation marks are there for a reason. About the Author: 1. Despises NTR. 2. Open to criticism. 3. Good-looking. 4. Permanently awesome. Enjoy the read! ヾ(•ω•`)o P.S. Here’s the schedule for the first few weeks: Week 1 (Launch Week): One chapter every day. Week 2: 5 chapters per week. After that: We’ll move to a regular schedule of 2 chapters a week Each chapter is approximately 3k words. P. P.S.

In the border city of Santa Fortuna, power is a currency and survival is an art. Cartels rule the streets, politicians sell their souls, and loyalty is worth less than a bullet.

Trauma creates demons. Santa Fortuna creates both. This is not a story about heroes. It’s about the people who learn to thrive in the dark — or get swallowed by it.

"When did I last see the sun?" This is precisely the question that involuntarily pops into almost everyone's head when looking at the dark sky. A whole month has passed since the sun was hidden from Earth by dark clouds, plunging the world into chaos. Shortages of electricity, the approach of war, hunger.

Lin Arka, a child who considers death to be just a tragedy

He died a betrayed assassin. He woke up as the family disgrace. Yohan should be dead—a knife in his back, blood pooling beneath him, betrayed by the one person he trusted. Instead, he opens his eyes in a body that isn't his own. Mo Yohan. First grandson of the legendary Sword God. Weak. Powerless. A failure without a Mana Core in a world where cultivation is everything. His three younger brothers have already surpassed him. The servants mock him openly. Even his own grandfather has given up on him. After losing yet another duel to his youngest brother, he's been confined to his estate—a prisoner in his own home. But the soul now inhabiting this broken body is far from weak. In his past life, Yohan was feared. No one dared meet his eyes. And now, trapped in this frail shell, he's done being looked down upon. When servants whisper about his disgrace, he doesn't bow his head. When they laugh at his weakness, he doesn't walk away. He draws a sword and reminds them exactly who holds their lives in his hands. In a world of cultivation and martial arts, where power means everything and bloodline determines destiny, a ruthless assassin's soul must navigate the treacherous politics of a powerful clan—all while trapped in the body everyone has written off as worthless. The old Mo Yohan would have endured the humiliation in silence. The new one? He's just getting started. When a killer's mind meets a cultivator's world, weakness becomes a weapon—and mercy becomes the most dangerous mistake anyone can make. --- A reincarnation cultivation novel where second chances come with brutal lessons, family ties hide deadly rivalries, and the weakest link is about to break every chain that binds him.

The world of Caereth survives on lies. History contradicts itself. Gods rule, yet refuse to answer certain questions. Cities stand where ruins should be, and everyone has learned—quietly—not to look too closely. Faith keeps reality stable. Ignorance keeps it alive. Aerin Kael is not meant to matter. Born in the lower districts of a fractured city-state, he grows up watching laws bend for the powerful and truth become a matter of convenience. He learns early that the world only works if you accept what you’re given and stop asking why. Then he witnesses something impossible. A man is executed in public—undeniably dead. That same man speaks to Aerin later that night. Reality does not correct itself. Instead, it allows both truths to exist. Aerin awakens to a power that should not be possible: the ability to accept contradictions without breaking. Where others must choose one truth, he can hold two—and reality falters in response. Blades hesitate. Consequences arrive late. Certainty decays. But power in Caereth is never free. Every use fractures memory, emotion, and identity. Gods take notice. Factions move in silence. Wars are fought not only with weapons, but with belief itself. And beneath it all lies a truth carefully buried—that Caereth is not a world created by gods, but a reality held together by containment, omission, and necessary lies. As contradictions spread and history begins to unravel, Aerin is forced into conflicts far larger than himself: between faith and truth, order and freedom, survival and meaning. Each choice he makes stabilizes one fracture while tearing open another. In a world that endures by refusing to be whole, the most dangerous thing is not destruction— —it is understanding.
