antihero

He didn’t know where God was. But the demons lurked miles beneath the earth, in Hell—And the angels soared far above the clouds, in Heaven. Zach was willing to do whatever it took to get his revenge on the demons—Even if it meant becoming one himself. Born a half-breed of demon and human blood, Zach possessed power beyond that of ordinary men. But to match the strength of full-blooded demons, He had to rely on the one thing they lacked—human instinct. That’s why he walked alongside others like him… For now.

One in ten awakens changed. The rest decide what that change is worth. In a near-future America scarred by the Great Pulse, the world is divided between "branded heroes" and those the system wants to erase. Behind the fireworks, neighborhoods vanish and "unregistered" children disappear into private prisons. When a handful of broke, ordinary strangers begin pushing back, they discover a terrifying truth: The system isn't broken. It was built this way. Shadows of Liberty is a story of survival inside a nation that asks its children to save it, then punishes them for trying. When the torch you were raised to revere burns the hands holding it, do you keep carrying it… or do you finally let it fall?

When seventeen-year-old Damon Vale lost his mother, his whole world cracked—not with grief, but with an impossible truth. Damon is no longer just a high schooler dealing with gangs and betrayal; he is the secret descendant of the celestial Queen of Woewyn, a realm where memory, time, and spirit intertwine. Raised on Earth by a mother who lied to save his life, Damon is burdened by a forbidden power that literally bends light and is constantly on the verge of purging his own body. Now, ancient gods and demons are pouring onto Earth, some disguised as humans, Chronisouls— some torment, some help. For Damon, the choice is simple: Embrace the divine power that burns him from the inside out, or watch his life on Earth, including the one girl who sees past his walls, shatter forever. From quiet rooftops(literally) to cosmic wars(also literally), Damon must discover if saving existence means losing the fragile human he was trying to be.

Transmigrating into the world of Battle Through the Heavens, he became Xiao Xuan’s cousin. Faced with Xiao Xuan gathering all of the Xiao Clan's bloodline power into himself in a desperate attempt to break through to the Dou Emperor realm, Xiao Tiance knew that Xiao Xuan would ultimately fall victim to an ambush by the Soul Clan and perish. Thus, Xiao Tiance unsheathed his sword, pointing it at Xiao Xuan: “Brother Xuan, if you truly insist on doing this, our Xiao Clan will inevitably decline because of you!” “You have all basked in glory for a thousand years. It is time to restore our clan’s prestige,” Xiao Xuan said domineeringly, standing with his hands behind his back. “Then kill me first, and use the meager bloodline within me to aid you in your pursuit.” Thank you for the support, friends.

Takashi Takeru, a twenty-year-old young man, lives a dull and monotonous life. But everything changes when an air conditioner falls on him, sending him into a white void where he’s told he is supposed to be executed—while others are sent to explore a land called HideLand. Granted a temporary pardon, he is instead sent to the other world under observation. And although he only wishes for a peaceful, ordinary life, reality refuses to allow it.

In 1950, a cosmic event reshaped the world. Ordinary people awakened extraordinary abilities—some benevolent, others catastrophic. To control the chaos, hero organizations formed, offering power, wealth, and status in exchange for loyalty and strength. For decades, the system held. Ember City became the symbol of that fragile balance—until it nearly vanished. Five years before the present day, a Demon King threatened to erase the city entirely. Two legendary heroes, Tempestia and Moon-Light, defeated the demon and sealed it within a stone statue. The victory came at a cost. Both heroes disappeared. The world believed they died. Others believed they chose to vanish. Peace followed. But the seal did not last forever. On Thanksgiving night, five years later, a villain known as Oblivion shattered the statue that bound the Demon King. The demon returned—stronger, prepared, and ruthless. Ember City fell. Heroes rushed to defend it. Civilians were caught in the slaughter. Streets burned. Blood soaked the ground. Among the defenders was Black Mentis, the strongest hero alive—and Alan Winchester’s father. Mentis led the heroes into battle against the demon army. But before dawn, the fight took a fatal turn. Oblivion revealed his true hand, ambushing Mentis alongside a mysterious cloaked man. Betrayed and overwhelmed, Black Mentis was mortally wounded. Knowing he would die—and that the city was already lost—Mentis cast a forbidden spell. The spell gathered the power of every hero who had fallen that night—every strength, every ability, every fragment of will—and transferred it into one vessel. His son. Alan Winchester. The spell saved nothing else. Black Mentis died as the sun rose. Ember City lay in ruins. Alan survived—but his body was never meant to contain such power. The inheritance burns inside him, tearing at his limits, threatening to destroy him from within. Grief leaves him hollow. Rage gives him direction. The truth of his father’s death—and the role Oblivion and the cloaked man played in it—drives Alan away from what remains of his old life. His path leads him to China, where ancient disciplines, brutal training, and forces beyond modern hero society begin reshaping him. He is no longer training to be a hero. He is training to become something else. This is not a story about heroes and villains. It is the story of a boy crushed by inheritance, reshaped by loss, and hardened by survival—moving through a world of hidden realms, infinite realities, and beings that rival gods. Alan’s choices will decide more than revenge. But revenge is where his journey begins. New chapters/EPs will be uploaded on Mondays & Thursdays at 1 PM CET (North Africa/Europe time).

When 1,000 souls are torn from their worlds and thrown into the Calamity Tower’s 777 merciless floors, they are given only seven chances to survive. Every death reshuffles the labyrinth, twisting hallways, evolving monsters, and sharpening the difficulty until only the desperate remain. Those who rise earn Angel Bonds that bless… or Devil Bonds that corrupt. But Ifrit, a ruthless 19-year-old, receives neither. Instead, the Tower forces onto him a third, forbidden Bond, one older than angels and fouler than devils, a power that whispers ruin and hooks deeper with every use. Its strength is unmatched and Its curse is fatal. Now branded the Tower’s anomaly, Ifrit refuses to climb for glory, freedom, or godhood. He only climbs for blood, as his goal isn’t to reach the top, it’s to obliterate everything tied to the Tower’s existence, Gods. Demons. Angels. Guardians, it didn’t matter.

Khalen Rasheen’s exile ends where it was always meant to: beneath a prison colony, in a collapsing chamber, staring up at something that should not exist. A skull made of crystal. A violet pulse. A voice like a blade, sharp and amused. It calls itself the part of humanity that refused to die quietly, and it offers him a bargain. In exchange for what he can do with fire, it will teach him how to survive a world built on Breath, a force that moves through people and stone like current through wire. It powers wards, engines, and cities, and it tempts everyone to draw a little more, to test what happens when limits bend. But Khalen’s world isn’t merely broken. It’s curated. Ancient anchor paths scar the land where a civilization once stood, and the ruins are missing, not ruined, as if someone lifted them out of history. Delvers call it discovery. Archivists call it proof. The Core calls it bait. Because the artifacts are real, and some were designed to make you more than human. He’s not hunting relics for glory, he’s hunting them because he’s learned that being human is not enough to keep anyone alive. Khalen can run, bleed, and try to stay human. Or he can reach for the relics, and become the kind of answer the Core understands. ** Style note: This story leans cinematic: close scenes, strong sensory detail, and worldbuilding revealed through motion and consequence rather than long exposition. Dialogue stays tight, especially in tense moments. If you like mysteries that tighten over chapters, watch the small physical details and offhand lines, they tend to pay off. This story was ten years in the making. I’ll try to make every moment earn its place. History, Religion, Archeology in a fun epic.

The weak are never respected, the weak should not exist and the weak have no place in society. The weak deer is hunted and the weak lion cannot hunt. If one is weak, they stay at the bottom of society and they suffer. It is their own fault for being weak. That was what Alden learned at a very young age in society, if you were weak, you were trampled upon and you were crushed. You would become a stepping stone for the strong. Determined to change his fate, he tries one last time to reach the top of the world.

Justin Sterling has it all—youth, wealth, charisma, and an uncanny ability to thrive in Manhattan’s elite art circles. But beneath the tailored suits and effortless charm lies a gnawing sense of something missing, a strange magnetism he can’t explain and a life that feels too perfectly orchestrated. As the lights go out, so does his old life. Pulled into a hidden world of supernatural forces, ancient bloodlines, and cosmic destinies, Justin must come to terms with a heritage he never knew he had—and a power that could shift the balance between realms.

Damen Dark is an unfortunate orphan trapped in a cruel household, forced to endure the abuse of his uncle, his family, and a world that seems determined to break him. One ordinary day, he receives a mysterious link on his phone advertising a new app—DemCoin, a cryptocurrency mining program. Damen knows it’s probably a scam. But curiosity gets the better of him. At first, the app seems harmless. It “mines” coins by targeting living beings—stray animals… and people. With little expectation, Damen uses it as a private outlet for his bottled-up anger, siphoning coins from those who torment him: his family, his classmates, the bullies who rule the streets. It feels like justice. It feels good. But DemCoin is far more than a mining app. As Damen accumulates enough coins, hidden features unlock—features that allow him to target individuals and steal their powers. What begins as survival turns into temptation, and temptation into transformation. With every stolen ability, Damen grows stronger… and more dangerous. Now faced with unimaginable power, Damen must choose who he will become. Will he take revenge on a world that never showed him mercy, or rise as a hero to protect it? The truth lies somewhere in between. In a cruel twist of fate, Damen soon realizes the irony of power: the stronger he becomes, the greater the threats that hunt him. And worse still, DemCoin is not just a tool—it is a force, subtly guiding his path. Whether he knows it or not, the app isn’t shaping him into a savior. It is forging a supervillain. And Damen Dark may have no choice but to become exactly that.

Dragons rule the skies, the land, and the seas. Humanity survives in what they’re allowed to keep. In this world, power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves become kings. Eagles become legends. Chimeras decide the fate of nations. A strong summon means a bright future. Kael Ashborne didn’t get one. On the day every young tamer awakened their destiny, Kael summoned the lowest-ranked creature ever recorded—a formless, useless thing barely considered alive. No claws. No fangs. No strength. Just weakness. He became a joke overnight. Bullied, discarded, and written off as a failure, Kael was told to give up. After all, what future could a tamer with a worthless beast possibly have? But giving up was never an option. His aging parents sold everything for his one chance, and Kael refuses to let their sacrifice be meaningless. If this world only respects power, then he’ll carve his own path to it—starting from the very bottom. Here’s what no one realized: The weakest beast doesn’t evolve like the others. While normal summons follow fixed paths, Kael’s creature adapts. It survives what should kill it. It absorbs traits it shouldn’t have. Every impossible victory unlocks something ancient—something forgotten. Dragons don’t begin as kings. They begin as nothing. As kingdoms rot under greed, nobles hunt power they don’t understand, and dragonkind stirs from extinction, Kael’s rise turns ridicule into fear. His beast evolves beyond known limits, breaking every rule of taming and leading toward a single, terrifying truth: Every evolutionary path leads to dragons. And Kael stands at the origin. World-ending threats. Insane evolutions. Morally bankrupt nobles. Allies who become legends—and enemies who realize too late that they should have killed him when he was weak. This is the story of the weakest beast tamer climbing from the bottom of the food chain to the peak of existence. After all… even dragons start small.

In his previous world, X was a feared and brilliant criminal. He led a massive criminal organization, possessed sharp strategic intelligence, and had enough power to challenge entire nations. Though ruthless, he lived by his own principles and morals. One day, after completing a fantasy war game in his free time he transmigrates into that very world. But not as the hero. He awakens in the body of Kael Frost, the game's final villain. In the original game, Kael was a noble born into the Frost Dukedom, which was the strongest after the royal family. He had no interest in training or holding his families legacy despite being the heir to the House Frost. He was a prime example of a spoiled noble brat. Seeing his constant failures and pathetic state, his family especially his father Castor Frost started to neglect him entirely. Discussions were held to appoint Kael's younger brother Kevin as the heir to the Dukedom. Enraged by his family's actions Kael began to behave in more pathetic ways as some sort of revenge. His relations with everyone started to deteriorate further and a public conflict during a grand banquet marked his complete breakdown from his household. Soon after, Kael disappeared from the society. A year later, driven by hatred and despair, he performed a forbidden ritual that granted him immense power in exchange for his emotions and sanity. The ritual succeeded, but turned him into a psychopathic mass murderer. Though powerful enough to nearly defeat the protagonist in the final arc, he ultimately lost due to his madness and the hero's many allies. That was how the game ended. This time, the transmigration happens after the ritual is completed. X inherits Kael's fully awakened powers while retaining his sanity, intelligence, and fragments of emotion from his previous life. With strength untouched by madness, he becomes far more dangerous than Kael ever was. 2 years later as admissions begin for the prestigious Namda Academy, the villain re-enters the world stage. Nobles are accepted automatically, while commoners must pass exams that test intellect, psychology, and potential. With knowledge of the game's future and the mind of a genius strategist, the final boss steps onto a new path.

Having once been a celebrated warrior, he spent his last days overwhelmed by the burden of conflict, experiencing remorse, despair, and a profound sense of emptiness from a soul ravaged by the terrors he had seen. In obscurity, he passed away, a person whose inner self had long departed. However, passing was not the conclusion. The Infinite Creator, though invisible yet ever-present, granted him another opportunity, transforming him into something greater than his previous self. He is revived in another world, awakening as Lythion, an insignificant herder located in a humble community. In this realm, creatures such as succubi, vampires, terrifying undead, and gigantic beings wander freely. Moreover, he is guided by a mysterious System, presenting challenges and missions exclusively tailored for him. Nonetheless, these ordeals surpass mere warfare; each triumph and encounter compels him to recuperate the sentiments he had forfeited: bravery, happiness, affection, sorrow, and even optimism itself. As Lythion reclaims each feeling, he develops greater strength, unlocking abilities intricately connected to the core of his being. Lythion transitions from a shepherd to a fighter, from fractured to complete, confronting deceit, illicit cravings, and the overwhelming responsibility of leadership. By regaining the entirety of his humanity, he can rise not just in dominance, but also in the chance for genuine rebirth. “Authority is not freely handed out; it’s earned by devotion… attained through the spirit, innermost self, and the struggles known only to oneself. ”

Going from already bad to much worse, a radical group were intent on making her one of them, after her virus-curated supernatural powers. Could she truly live up to the expectations of her family while surviving the ever changing world?

A world split in two; sky of stone, and surface of dust, rubble and ash. Survival has overtaken reason, and the final dwindling embers of humanity continue to grow weaker and weaker. What followed wasn't the revelation of unity... but a fracture. Across The Divide, the remnants have scattered, staking their entire existence on wild Gods which tread the surface. A city walks with one, built atop its gargantuan back and strides over the vast barren below, cultured and centered around the protection of their false prophet. A young boy, trained to be a tinkerer within the local Militia, bravely defends the home at which he was born to protect. This raid, however, was different. It would thrust him into a wall he could never surpass. It would embrace him in the arms of realization and truth... He would finally uncover the secrets of this world, and for better or worse, learn how to unravel it.

Warning: Contains heavy R-18 smut, a shameless Trash MC, corruption, Netori (stealing the other hero’s girl), and lethal amounts of fluid-based magic. Kaizen was 99% of the way through a legendary three-hour gooning session when he was rudely summoned to another world. Standing naked on the holy altar, blue-balled and furious, he discovers a unique mechanic: his "unreleased frustration" counts as infinite Holy Light mana. Now, the Kingdom is in chaos. The "Good Hero" Arthur is blind and crippled (Kaizen’s fault). The "Real Hero" is dead in a ditch (Kaizen stole his potion). That leaves only Kaizen—a lazy, manipulative, trash-tier human being who killed an assassin with a tactical pelvic thrust. The demons are coming, and they are only weak to Light. But Kaizen refuses to lift a finger unless he gets something in return. If the noble Princess Seraphina wants to save her people, she’s going to have to help the Hero "reload his weapon" manually.
