At eighteen, Haruto has already lived a lifetime of silence. For 5 years, he has survived alone in a cramped, hollow house, abandoned by the world. He never stepped foot in a school, yet he possessed a genius that no classroom could teach. To escape the suffocating boredom of his reality, Haruto turned to the only world that welcomed him: Gaming. Living on the meager wages of a shopping mart job, he couldn't afford a life, let alone a console. So, he built one. From junkyard scrap, discarded circuits, and shattered LCDs, he engineered a high-performance rig that shouldn't have worked—but did. It was his only masterpiece in a world he found utterly gray. Everything changed the night a shooting star answered his silent plea for excitement. Haruto is transported to Aetheria, a realm divided among four great races: Humans, Spirits, Elves, and Gods. He is immediately thrust into a trial of worth, forced to face the overwhelming presence of three Goddesses. Against all odds, he is chosen as the successor to "AETHERIS," the primordial force of reality. With the legendary title of "Star-Child," his Mana becomes linked to his very emotions—a source of infinite power. But the gift comes with a cruel twist. In Aetheria, everyone lives by the HUD, a system screen tracking levels and skills. Because he inherited a God's power, the system glitched: Haruto has Infinite Mana, but his Level and Skills have been reset to absolute Zero. Now, the Master Gamer must grind like never before. While he lacks skills, he carries a secret the world isn't ready for: He gains experience 1000 times faster than any living being. His goal is clear: reach Level 100, eliminate his boredom, and confront the God of Nothingness—an entity the world has long forgotten. Many allies and enemies will join his journey, but Haruto is playing a different game. And in this game, there are no save files.

Armed with stolen magic and hard-earned scars, the Strays travel a continent consumed by war, searching for one impossible prize: a way back to Earth. But in a world that profits from their existence, escaping may mean tearing down the very empires that control it.

Transmigrated into the depths of Coruscant, a former software engineer finds himself bound to the Void Merchant System—a buggy, interdimensional interface that trades weapons from Halo, Mass Effect, and Warhammer 40K for cold, hard credits. There are no heroics here, only margins; the system punishes generosity with a "Charity Tax" and rewards "Actionable Outcomes"—even if that means selling out a contact for a 1,200-credit profit. In a galaxy consumed by the Clone Wars, Kade Varro chooses the only side that matters: his own bottom line. "I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com

They call him a demon. But he remembers who the real monsters are. In a world where mercy is a weakness and the divine are more cruel than the damned, kindness is the rarest weapon of all—and the most dangerous to draw. Sirus died a human and woke as a nightmare.

A World of Monstrous Truths: Explore a dark fantasy where humanity’s "goodness" is a mask for rot, and the only "benevolence" to be found is at the edge of a demon's blade.

While warriors swing swords that phase through glitched monsters, Kaito can summon a retro BIOS console to freeze enemies, correct hitboxes, and view the source code of existence.

However his reaction lacked the surprise or confusion one would usually expect form someone in his situation, as he would soon prove to be anything but ordinary. Having always failed finding meaning in his life and those of others, his emotional numbness and tendency to view most people and activities as beneath him becomes apparent when he meets the angel Yuki. Meant to judge his life and actions, things take a turn when he tricks her into agreeing to a wager that would change his and her fate. Achieving victory over the angel, he acquires her devotion and servitude, though he soon discovers the true face her devotion to be pure obsession instead of the benevolence she showed him at first.

So he walked away. From the Abyss. From the system. From the fight itself. But walking away did not stop the clock. Will Jin accept dying as a pawn in a game he never chose… or become something the system was never meant to create?

Synopsis? There isn’t one. Too much finesse for anyone hard enough to read this story. Absurd? Hm. Look there. Right there on the horizon. When the Star finishes sinking itself in there, nothing good comes. Nothing good is almost ever born in this world. And the little that remains is dying. This? The iron mace? Yeah. A little too big, maybe. But I never learned how to fight pretty. Ballroom dances, elegant steps... no. I prefer weight. Brutality. Things that work outside rehearsal. Now don’t be a nuisance and get out of the way. There’s much to be done, and too few of us left to waste any more time.

Before the great Mughal Empire, the world feared only one name: The Mongols. They were a storm that destroyed everything in its path. But they made one mistake—they left a young boy alive.
