The Demon Executioner

#WSA CONTEST 2026 A/N: ACTION PACKED CONTENT!! DING! [Welcome to Eyria] Ethan, known in his former life as Mesh, lived a hollow existence. Work. Sleep. Repeat. A life spent giving everything, and gaining nothing in return. Betrayed by the very people he trusted, his coworker and his boss, his life ended abruptly. Not with meaning… but with bitterness. Death, however, was not the end. He awakened in another world: Eyria. A land on the brink of collapse, where demons ruled the shadows of day and night, and humanity survived only by clinging to hope. Reborn as Ethan Cole, he entered a world already bleeding. There, he awakened a class unknown to Eyria. A hybrid class known as the 'Executioner'. It granted him overwhelming power, power designed to hunt demons without mercy. But that strength came at a cost. Each use carved away fragments of his humanity, replacing restraint with bloodlust, and reason with cold, lethal instinct. Still, Ethan made a vow. To erase demons from the face of Eyria. Yet as his power grows and his humanity fades, one question remains: Will Ethan become the shield that saves this world… or the blade that finally shatters it? Note: Schedule: 7 New chs/week. - MC is Overpowered but it comes at a cost. Just like the synopsis described. - MC has strong ability but it isn't easily unlocked. - Romance comes later not immediately. - Chapter two has fast pacing.

Reverse Primacy

“Never forget son,” Dusk remembered, each syllable resonated within his soul, as if it was a missing fragment of his existence. “Flaws make you grovel, a victim living at the mercy of those around you. If you seek true power, you must have no flaws. Live at the mercy of yourself.” He didn’t forget — no, couldn’t forget how the same person who held power as his sacred principle, grovelled in the filth and mud of the slums, flawed, weakened, battered, in front of a man draped in silk and contempt, begging for a week’s extension for a debt he can’t afford to pay. He couldn’t forget how the so-called perfect being, his father, one of the most powerful awakened, consumed in despair, ended it all with suicide. leaving his family to the rot of poverty, hunger, and neglect. It dawned on him as he stood, soaked from the pouring rain, staring at the grave of the last of his blood, his sister. If he doesn’t awaken, doesn’t become something more than once his father was, he will become another ornament in the slum’s filthy mud, discarded like his family. But after he awakens, instead of power and independence, awakening drags him into the ruthless world of the awakened, where unseen beings, hidden monarchs, hypocrites wearing halos use awakened as discardable pawns to their grand plan. “I will rise, and no one is going to make me grovel,” Dusk declares, choosing to carve his own path instead of submitting and crumbling to the world.

Celestial Immortal Emperor

In a world where the heavens favor the strong, the weak are forgotten. Wang Chung was born a mortal with almost no spirit roots—destined for mediocrity, mocked by his peers, and abandoned by fate itself. For three years, he struggled to cultivate, reaching only the second realm when tragedy struck—his sect was destroyed by the mighty Scarlet Sun Sect, leaving him broken, lost, and alone. But among the ashes of despair, fate stirred. A mysterious bead merged into his soul, purifying the qi within his body. It did not grant him power—it only refined what he earned through blood, pain, and will. From that day, Wang Chung began walking a path of solitude— A path of vengeance. A path where each step carved his name into the heavens. Through killing, loss, and endless years of cultivation, he would rise above sects, empires, and even the stars themselves. From a weak mortal to a being feared by gods— This is the story of the man who would become the Celestial Immortal Emperor World Name: The Celestial Realms of Xuanyuan Power Levels: 1.

BOUND BY A LANTERN LIGHTS

Synopsis In the modern world, Ling Tian wakes in a hospital after an accident on Floating Plaza Bridge, desperate to find his brother Yang. He learns Yang died swerving to avoid a fallen tree and save three children during a storm-induced mudslide. Grieving, Ling Tian visits The Lantern’s Fate—the shop he and Yang dreamed of opening—where Wu Lan arrives with a finished bird lantern identical to his birthmark, which Yang had left for their opening day. The two confess their long-held feelings for each other and agree to hang the lantern in Yang’s honor. That night, Ling Tian’s birthmark glows warm, pulling him into a vision of a mountain ledge in an unknown place. A boy who looks exactly like him—Lin Yun—lies wounded, clutching a glowing green plant as three armed men approach. Lin Yun presses the plant into Ling Tian’s hand and shares his wish to be strong enough to protect others before passing away. When their skin touches, a wave of light merges them, and Ling Tian vanishes from his bedroom, leaving only his green stone necklace and the blinking bird lantern to alarm Wu Lan and his parents. Ling Tian wakes in Lin Yun’s body on the cold ledge, then later finds himself tended to by a broad-shouldered man with Yang’s eyes, who teases him and insists on being called "Master Baby." The pair travels to The Crooked Mug tavern, where an old bearded man and a bright-eyed young girl approach their table, with the girl exclaiming that Ling Tian (as Lin Yun) is "the one." The girl helps herself to bread while the old man plays a flute and sings a song about time, space, and hidden paths, then shows off a glowing drink called "Brook-Song Gold" before they depart. When Yang returns slightly drunk, he steals two horses to escape the stable owner’s wrath, and Ling Tian clumsily mounts the second horse. They ride past cultivation sect lands—Sunfire Clan, Dragon’s Scale Herb Gardens, Earth Spirit Sect, and Misty Cloud Sect—before reaching Grass Valley Village. Yang notices Ling Tian’s unusual spiritual energy and questions him, then brushes it off as a joke. In the village, Ling Tian unconsciously releases a wave of energy to protect children from a falling tree branch, surprising guard Da Peng with powers he didn’t have days before. At the family estate, Ling Tian’s boxing stances confuse his father Lord Lin Wei, who scolds him before sensing his open meridians in awe. His sister Xiao runs to embrace him, and his mother Lady Mei Lian calms her husband. From the roof, the old man and girl sing their song again, then transform into radiant, divine forms before vanishing in silver mist. As Ling Tian’s hand touches his father’s, a jolt of power passes between them.
