antihero

In a distant past, the seven Ancestral Beasts clashed, and the blood they spilled rained onto the entire plane, infecting humans and animals alike, making them part of their powerful bloodlines. As a small village’s hunter, Liam was unaware of the consequences of that legendary battle. His sole goal was to become a cultivator to gain the strength and resources he needed to avenge his family. Yet, when Liam’s Ancestral Bloodline awakened, he uncovered a connection between his family’s killers and the Dragon King, a connection that could expand his revenge to the entire Kingdom. -------------------- Discord link: https://discord.gg/mefzf3aQJ8 Instagram: eocnovels X: @EoCNovels Cover artist: https://digitalrowye.com

Lian Mo slaughtered his entire bloodline at dawn. He carved open his father, mother, and siblings in a forbidden ritual, drinking their dying essence to ignite his path to immortality. No tears. No hesitation. Only a cold, unbreakable will. The heavens sensed the abomination and sent their first thunderbolt to erase him. Lian Mo laughed. He turned their divine wrath into blight, corrupting the lightning into poison that now spreads through his veins. Family became his first sacrifice. The immortal sects will be next. Then the gods themselves. One man dares to defile eternity. And the sky is already bleeding.

Antares, born from the perfect and apathetic race of Gods known as the Stars, is both curious and ambitious. Arriving in the Cardinal world as Asteri, he tests human norms—foreign and often trivial to his true nature—while seeking to understand himself and the world around him.

I was reborn in the world of Naruto during the Third Ninja World War... without any special abilities, without a system, and with only a little chakra. Unable to enter the Ninja Academy, I lived a simple life, managing my mother's heritage restaurant and forging weapons like my father. Losing them on a ninja mission made me take a different path. With little chakra, I chose to become a swordmaster. With strong determination, I fought to survive and become the strongest swordmaster in the ninja world! Posting Schedule: Monday. Wednesday.

Aoki's body is special, don't ask again. 2. I use the theory that if one has a little Chakra and uses a little Natural Energy, it might be possible to use a limited Sage Mode; this is a theory, A DAMN THEORY! 3. The "Little Chakra" disease is just an addition to the storyline, BECAUSE MASASHI KISHIMOTO never discussed the bodies of Guy, Duy, and Lee! So I think Aoki has a slight resemblance to them. 4. Why is there such a strange disease? Because it’s not even in the story? That’s BECAUSE MASASHI KISHIMOTO never discusses anything in detail; Medical Ninjutsu is never explained in DETAIL! Even Fuinjutsu is never explained in DETAIL! 5. So don’t ask again and give bad reviews if you haven’t read to the end, just wait, damn it! I will explain it in the upcoming chapter.

Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. He makes decisions that those interested in hero complex protagonists may not find pleasant. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

In a world where fantasy and reality are intertwined, a lonesome writer tries to have a happy ending. This is a story about stories.

Destined for doom, he was nothing more than a minor villain—meant only to be mocked by the protagonist and executed in the end. The plot pushed him forward, forcing his every step toward that inevitable downfall. But then, an anomaly appeared. Everything was moving exactly as the story demanded… until a certain woman took an interest in him. She freed him from the curse of being a disposable villain—so he could rise as the true one. ..... William, the proud heir of Count Delimore, had lived a sheltered life, untouched by failure and defeat. Yet he never let his victories cloud his judgment. His life was perfect. Until the academy. Until a sinister voice whispered in his ear: “Normal is so boring. It’s about time you show your true colors.” From that moment, William’s life changed—for the better, and for the worse. ••••••• A/N:- For a better understanding of the situation for the first few chapters, you will be primarily from the female lead's perspective.

HOLLOW ASCENDING The Peeling Seven years ago, reality fractured in an event known as The Peeling. Vertical rifts tore open across the world, exposing a lightless underlayer of existence called the Hollows, where human fear manifests as living entities. When the rifts appeared, entire cities were erased in minutes. Conventional weapons failed. Survival depended on those who could enter the Hollows and return alive. --- Betrayal Shin Jiwoo, an E-rank Descender, is betrayed during a routine Hollow expedition by Park Minho, the only person he trusted. Minho seals Jiwoo and other low-ranks inside a collapsing Hollow to erase evidence of his illegal operations. One by one, the others are consumed. Jiwoo is left to rot as the dimension destabilizes, realizing he was never a friend—only expendable labor. As his body dissolves, Jiwoo falls through a fracture in reality into The Womb, the deepest layer of the Hollows. --- The Void Seed Within The Womb, Jiwoo encounters the Mother of Hollows, an ancient consciousness at the core of the dimension. She offers him survival through the Void Seed, a crystallized fragment of her essence. Accepting it binds Jiwoo to the Hollows permanently. The Seed merges with his heart, halting his death and rewriting his existence. --- His Ability Jiwoo awakens with a power unique to him alone: The Hollow Warrior System. Unlike ordinary Descenders, Jiwoo can deliberately absorb, analyze, and integrate Hollow essences, shaping his evolution instead of relying on chance. Each absorbed essence grants specific abilities and advances him through Layers, a measure of how far he has descended into Hollow nature. Power comes with clarity. Progress comes with loss. His strength is not a blessing. It is a descent born from betrayal.

Percival was once a hero, the Summoned Hero in the fantasy game world of Evernia, brought to save them from the wrath of the Demon Lord. After he did, he was repaid with treachery; with murder. But his story didn't end there. Percival regressed to the very moment he was summoned, retaining his max-level Swordsman Class while awakening a new, darker one: Necromancer. As the only dual-class Awakener, Percival summons Skeleton and Soul Soldiers, training them with his Swordsman expertise to become the fiercest warriors in all three kingdoms. This time, Percival refuses to be the Hero, even when the Kings offer him wealth and an army of Awakeners to aid him. Why borrow an army when he could just summon his own?

"I didn't choose to be a hero. I chose to be the shadow that rules them all." Kiyoshi Ishida was a genius who mastered Dark Psychology to survive the underworld of Tokyo. After a fatal accident, he is reborn into the magical world of Velgrith. But he isn't here to play the hero's part. Armed with [Chronael], the unique Death Clock of Time and Memory, Kiyoshi becomes Shujin—The Darkness Lord. While the world focuses on the "Chosen Hero," Shujin operates from the background of the Ironwood Magic Academy, manipulating kingdoms and executing corrupt nobles without leaving a trace. What to expect: Mastermind MC: No mindless fighting. Every move is a psychological game. Unique Power System: 12 Hands of Time (Time Stop, Memory Erasure, and more). Hidden Identity: High school failure by day, Darkness Lord by night. Kingdom Building & Mystery: Uncovering the secrets of the Unknown God. "The clock is ticking. Your time is mine."

The bells were never meant to ring again. In the quiet village of Asterfell, time stops every day at 4:30—just for a second. No one notices. No one remembers. Except Kael. When a long-dead bell tower rings at the forbidden hour, Kael is pulled out of his world and thrown into a realm that exists between seconds—a place of floating doors, broken timelines, and ancient powers that should never awaken. There, he learns the truth. Time is looping. The world has already ended—more than once. And Kael has been here before. Each cycle ends in ruin. Each failure erases history. Each attempt brings the world closer to permanent collapse. At the center of it all is 4:30, the hour when a single choice decides whether time moves forward… or shatters forever. Haunted by visions of a future he doesn’t remember, hunted by beings that guard time itself, and driven by the mysterious disappearance of his mother, Kael must grow stronger with every cycle—learning magic that bends reality, fighting enemies that remember his past lives, and uncovering a truth far darker than destiny. Because the greatest twist isn’t that Kael can reset time. It’s that he might be the reason time is broken. And when the final cycle begins, there will be no reset left.

”The world no longer needs heroes. It needs a monster to slaughter other monsters.” For three generations, Panca Pillars—chosen guardians of the sacred path—carried out their duties to perfection. But perfection is a fragile lie. The 4th Generation of Panca vanished in a blood-soaked tragedy, leaving behind nothing but unanswered questions and a fractured seal. Now, the Fiend God Ibris stirs once more, and the Sorcerers have emerged from the shadows to spread a Contamination that rots the very soul of nature. As the chaos reaches its zenith, an ancient prophecy awakens. Panca Pillars are called once again. But this time, nature did not choose heroes. Instead, it summoned five outcasts: rebels, butchers, assassins, thieves, and blasphemers. Five souls discarded by society: The Cursed Panca. They are the world’s final, desperate gamble. Yet, fate has one more trick up its sleeve. Enter Rhea Saschie, the "Red Death." A witch hunter who sneers at prophecies, mocks the sacred, and wields a hoard of "dirty tricks" that defy every law of the Resonants. He is the 6th Variable—a glitch in the script of destiny, or perhaps, the only one truly meant to end it? Amidst a symphony of death, Rhea must carve a path through blood and shadow. He stands trapped between an empire that seeks to chain him, a burning thirst for vengeance against those who stole his homeland, and a Fiend God who hungers for his life. Rhea lives by a single creed: ”Do what you believe is right, and think twice about what you believe is wrong.”

In a world where even heaven has its cracks, Kaelric awakens as the Stoneheart Clan’s prodigy. Talent alone would be enough, but something else stirs within him, a presence no one else can sense, pressing at the edges of his mind and the limits of the world itself. The elders will not touch it. The clans prey on each other. The Moonglint Ranges wait like teeth, and new threats rise with every dawn. Alone, Kaelric must confront what others will not, forging a will that refuses permission, patience, or compromise. Progress is earned in risk, in loss, in consequence, and a force is awakening that will test everything he thinks he knows. ... I'm new at this writing, and I'll probably take a longer time than most to make the chapters. but tell if there's plot holes, I'll try not to mess up much.

When a mysterious relic known as the Spiderball crashes into Kairo City, the world unknowingly steps into a new era of human evolution. Sixteen-year-old Kade Orion survives the Spiderball’s violent Binding, awakening the Web—a latent human energy system fueled by pressure, instinct, and willpower. The power enhances physical abilities but comes at a brutal cost: every use strains the body, causes recoil, and risks permanent damage. Most humans do not survive awakening. Kade does, but survival makes him a target. The Council of Web Authority, a covert organization that regulates awakeners, moves to contain Kade under the command of Nyx Vale. At the same time, rogue awakeners—humans who reject control—emerge, led by veterans like Raze, who believe awakened power should rule openly rather than hide. As Kade is forced into combat and training, he learns that strength without control leads to Web Fracture and eventual collapse. Power responds to emotion, making anger and fear dangerous allies. Each battle leaves lasting injuries, pushing Kade closer to losing control of himself. While the Council tightens its grip, independent factions rise across the world, and awakeners begin to appear openly. Ideological conflict erupts between regulation, freedom, and destruction of the old world order. Kade becomes a symbol none of them fully control. As signs of Web Collapse surface, Kade faces the truth behind the Spiderball: it was never meant to create heroes, but to filter humanity through survival. In a world on the brink of exposure and war, Kade must decide whether power should be suppressed, controlled, or destroyed entirely. Spiderball is a long-form battle anime novel focused on human evolution, discipline, and consequence—where strength is earned through pain, restraint, and choice, and every victory leaves a scar.

The feeling was fleeting, sharp—a sudden and terrifying void where his past should have been. A beautiful face he once loved… now mere grains of sand slipping through Clark's fingers. All that remained for him now was his name: Clark. This forgetting was incredibly potent. Clark felt an intense headache in every pore of his head. He began to see his surroundings. He was wearing rusty metal armor. When he looked ahead, he saw a strange man. He was calm, holding a nearly empty bottle of liquor. This man had lit a fire and was sitting beside it. Next to him was a rotting, dead corpse. The stench of blood was piercing, revolting to Clark's senses. Clark was tense, his hand on the sword beside him. He didn't understand why, but it was the survival instinct within him. The man looked at Clark. His voice was unsettlingly calm. • "Don't trouble yourself reaching for that sword. I didn't kill him, I found him like this with an empty bottle." Clark ignored the dizziness and sat beside the man, his hand still on the hilt. Clark's voice sounded as if his vocal cords were frayed from hunger. • "Who are you? What is this place?" • "My name is Jin. I woke up in a field of corpses. You were the only breathing thing. So I dragged you here." I was hoping you had answers. About me. About any of this." Clark's expression froze. He hadn't comprehended that he had amnesia. "What do you mean 'about you'?" Jin replied with a helpless smile. "I don't know. I've lost… everything. All that's left for me is instinct. The need to survive. That's all." Enjoy reading it!

John Harper had everything the world promised. Wealth. Status. Power. As a research executive in the largest corporation ever built, he lived above the clouds—among floating cities, artificial skies, and endless luxury. But beneath the shining surface was a truth erased from history. The poor were not helped. They were deleted. Stripped of identity, records, and even names, they were cast underground so the rich could build a cleaner world without them. John was one of the rich—but never one of them. For years, he secretly searched for a way to dismantle the system from within. When his plan finally moved, it wasn’t a rebellion—it was a betrayal. John abandoned everything and vanished into the underworld, rescued by the very people his society pretended didn’t exist. Now hunted by the empire he helped build, John fights alongside the rebels in a war he helped ignite—one that threatens to collapse the foundation of wealth itself. And the richest man alive is no longer watching from above.

Evan Cole logged in expecting a game. What he woke up in did not allow logging out. There were no tutorials. No safety nets. No second chances. Death was permanent, and survival came without instructions. At first, Evan believed he was trapped inside a broken system. Then he learned the truth. The world was functioning exactly as designed. As Evan adapts, he survives not by strength or luck, but by understanding how pressure shapes people—how repetition replaces choice, how efficiency erases hesitation, and how systems reward those willing to carry the cost. Villages do not fall screaming. They quiet. They stabilize. They continue. And the more Evan succeeds, the more the world asks of him. Because in Eidolon Realms, survival is not proof of virtue. It is a test of what you are willing to become when the system stops asking for permission. This is not a story about becoming powerful. It’s about what survives when power starts asking for payment. The start can be a bit generic but please read till chapter 35. Kind criticism is welcome. One Chapter Daily!!

ASTRA: GAZERS OF THE FALLEN SKY Synopsis The sky did not open with light. It fell. When celestial beings known as Angels descend upon Earth, humanity quickly learns they are not saviors—but sovereign predators. Ranked by power and governed by ancient laws older than creation itself, these entities do not conquer through chaos. They observe. They test. And when necessary, they erase. Cities burn. Nations fracture. Hope becomes a calculated risk. Humanity’s last defense lies in the Franix Program—genetically enhanced soldiers engineered to rival the lowest ranks of Angels. But even their greatest weapons struggle against Rank Ones… and something far worse watches from beyond. Kazuo was never meant to exist. An anomaly born from forbidden power, he is neither fully human nor angel. As his strength grows at an impossible rate, so does the truth: he is not becoming an Angel. He is becoming something above them. A Ruler. With each passing day, Kazuo changes—physically, mentally, spiritually. His humanity begins to thin as cosmic authority awakens within him. Angels recognize it. The Franix fear it. And somewhere in the vast silence of the heavens, another Ruler stirs—Kang, an entity whose very existence once kept Angels in submission. But Kazuo does not seek conquest. He does not seek revenge. He seeks balance. As celestial politics unfold and global powers crumble under divine pressure, the world begins to understand a terrifying reality: Angels are not the final threat. They are pieces on a board controlled by beings far older and far more absolute. Through the eyes of soldiers, side characters, commanders, and civilians alike, ASTRA: Gazers of the Fallen Sky explores the cost of divinity touching Earth. Not just through destruction—but through change. Because when the sky falls… You either kneel. Or ascend.
