Kiss X Reaper

Author’s Note! This story blends grand, intense battles with carefully chosen colors that reflect each character’s nature and themes. It unfolds within the refined atmosphere of a grand opera house, where waltzes, performances, and radiant spectacles are not just scenery, but core elements of the narrative. Through music, motion, and light, beauty and conflict exist side by side, balancing emotion with formality. Auxiliary Notice! For deeper character insight and additional world context, readers are encouraged to read the Auxiliary Chapters. Reading Style & Pacing! While the overall story progresses quickly, combat sequences are intentionally extended. These battles focus on movement, shifting power, and visual storytelling rather than heavy dialogue. Fights are written to feel cinematic, tense, and immersive, prioritizing atmosphere and action over exposition. I will do my best to keep every chapter engaging without slowing the narrative. A Note to the Reader If you enjoy: Ancient lore, Structured magic systems, Action-driven storytelling, Expansive cosmology, Multinational settings, Bold- color-focused imagery, and Long, visually rich battles, -then this story may be for you. Please read the synopsis below before diving in. Sankyuu! World Notes! Hunters - Hunters are wielders of the ancient Armament Arts- historic weapons forged through faith, discipline, and coexistence with spirits. These Arts allow Hunters to channel Natural Energy, granting power, precision, and spiritual authority in combat against Deviants. Note: Not everyone can become a Hunter. Inheriting an Armament Art and wielding Natural Energy is extremely rare. Deviants - Deviants are entities that consume and illuminate Dark Energy. They prey upon Natural Energy, the force that sustains life and balance across the world. Ancient Eyes - Ancient Eyes are old deities who have existed for hundreds, sometimes thousands, of years. They were created to uphold balance and wield immense authority. At least, that was their intended purpose. Now, they are regarded as feared folklore beings, who rule vast domains across the globe. Synopsis! Yukie Saku, the Ancient Eye of Snow and Cold, has been stripped of much of her power. After witnessing signs of an approaching catastrophe, she arrives at the Grand Opera House seeking answers and assistance. There, she meets Makoto Shirogane, the polite yet unreadable director of the opera house, descended from a once-great samurai house. To most, he appears formal and composed. That impression is far from the truth. Makoto is a Hunter of Deviants, over two centuries old, whose influence runs far deeper than anyone expects. When Yukie warns him of a looming force that devours Natural Energy and threatens entire lands, Makoto agrees to intervene- on one condition. Yukie must assist him with the growing threat surrounding the Grand Opera House itself. Stripped of her former power and sight, the goddess must rely on wit, ritual, and fragile alliances while honoring the contract she has bound herself to. Thus, an uneasy partnership forms: an ancient deity seeking aid from a mortal she cannot fully understand, and a man of strict formalism bound by a divine contract. Their path leads into political intrigue, civilization-scale organizations that quietly support the world, and escalating supernatural conflicts, where power is proven through action, not words. Kiss X Reaper A story of old gods, long lives, and the cost of power. Spirity Awards Notice! Kiss X Reaper is participating in the Webnovel Spirity Awards. Thank you for your support.

GAME OF THRONES: AEGON THE AVENGER

Lightweight system) (Slow-heating) Aegon travels to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire and becomes Aegon Targaryen, who shares the same name. Good news: He possesses the bloodline of the Valyrian Dragon King and can ride dragons. Bad news: I didn't transmigrate into Aegon the Conqueror who conquered the Seven Kingdoms, nor into any of the Targaryen kings in history, but into "Little Aegon"—yes, the one who got smashed against a wall by the Mountain and had his head split open. To make matters worse, the Targaryen dynasty had already fallen, and a usurper had ascended the throne in King's Landing. He could only drag his broken body and rely on the system to stay alive as he fled to the Narrow Sea. Aegon thought he was getting a tragic and heartbreaking script, but what happened? Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Valyrian Ruins and received 1 chance to win a prize. Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Golden Legendary item and obtained King Ghidorah (juvenile form). Aegon stared in astonishment at the grotesque three-headed beast on the system screen: "Wait... is this art style right?!" When the shadow of a three-headed dragon, obscuring the sky, swept across King's Landing, when the chaotic Seven Kingdoms were reunited under the dragon's wings, and when usurpers and traitors were reduced to ashes in the flames, the maesters who wrote the Targaryen Chronicles bestowed upon him the title "Aegon the Avenger" after Aegon the Conqueror.

Killer- The Untold Mystery

In a city that trusts its system but hides corruption around every corner, Ayaan is a calm, brilliant student and a tech prodigy admired by everyone. However, admiration is only the surface. Underneath it, he holds a strong belief: the world must face real consequences. To him, justice is neither mercy nor law; it is something unavoidable. When a young couple falls victim to senseless violence, Ayaan’s mind sparks a series of actions. Using his technological skills, he becomes VOID, a shadow that manipulates others to enforce his idea of justice. He is precise, calculated, and unyielding. Every target and every outcome is preplanned. His first pawn, Ariyan, a broken but willing soul, carries out the plan under VOID’s direction, becoming the first tool of Ayaan’s vision. Watching, supporting, and refining the process is Paradox, a system as cold and observant as a god. It is not human, not moral, but extremely effective. Paradox acts as VOID’s invisible partner, calculating risk, improving outcomes, and quietly making sure nothing is left to chance. Together, they create a deadly duo: one human, one persona, one system. As the city sleeps under a false sense of safety, Ayaan, VOID, and Paradox reshape reality with unseen hands. The media misleads, authorities fail, and pawns follow scripts they do not fully grasp. However, every action has consequences. While Ayaan believes in the rightness of his mission, each move brings him closer to a truth he still has to confront: justice is not mercy, and in the end, the line between savior and villain may fade beyond recognition. This is a chilling, calculated thriller where morality is rewritten, technology turns into a weapon, and a young mind dares to control fate itself.

SYSTEM TEARSTONE [V1]

Centuries ago, a new kind of curse system was created to punish the 5th class god named Jiǎng Língxi—now wearing the skin of a powerful mortal Dàozǔ from the Méi Rén Sect. The curse was named System Tearstone. The curse had no form, only a red gem floating in a dark fog. Then it met a perfectly broken yet unbreakable child named Kirihito Orohana, later known as Wèi Yīlíng. The curse roamed for half an eternity, bound to the pure soul’s revenge and its own mission: to win the Violet Throne and become the 5th god itself. But cool ice always melts, today or tomorrow. The curse system itself is also cursed. So will he never fall for anyone and claim the throne? Or will he remove his own existence by destroying the curse—or by becoming the full Violet Gem once more? Welcome to System Tearstone— where soft beginnings lie, and descent is inevitable… and beautiful. Author’s Note : The beginning may feel soft—almost deceptively gentle. Please don’t be fooled. System Tearstone is my beloved monster. Written without safety, without shortcuts, carved straight from bone and breath. It is a story about devotion that scars, about gods who fail, and about choosing to feel— even when feeling hurts. If you choose to read this, you become one of my tearstones— something fragile, something precious, kept close through both tears and quiet smiles. This is not a game system. It is an emotionally cursed one. character guide: Black middle one— Wèi Yīlíng Violet robe— Hàng Wàng Wùjī golden robe— Sozai Blue robe— Jiǎng Língxi Black— Kage Ou [ Release time : Friday & Saturday Chapters : Two chapters per day ( for having other issues & more book . might sometime miss if there is any problem) ] [ Paused updates for the next 3 months. not abandoning you all! just forced to stop for exam.

Surviving Zombies

When the power dies in Savannah, it doesn’t come back on—it wakes the dead. As the city collapses into chaos, the Leesburg family is torn apart across multiple frontlines. Dr. Sharon Leesburg barricades her floor inside a failing hospital, sealing herself in with women in labor, newborns barely hours old, and staff already breaking from exhaustion. Below them, emergency rooms become feeding grounds. Above them, there is nowhere left to run. Every decision she makes costs lives—she just has to choose which ones. Her husband, Dr. Ellis Leesburg—a top-clearance military neuroscientist stationed at Hunter Army Airfield—races to contain an outbreak he helped study, only to realize it has already breached the base. Whatever safeguards were in place failed quietly, efficiently, and far too late. Their children are scattered through a city gone dark. Six-year-old Ella Belle, the heart of the family, never makes it home from school. She vanishes somewhere between early dismissal and total collapse—leaving no answers, no trace, and no time. Twenty-three-year-old Justin Leesburg is forced into leadership on the streets, navigating dead zones and back alleys with dwindling supplies, a handful of traumatized survivors, and the constant fear that every step away from home is a step farther from his missing sister. His younger sister Tally—volatile, reckless, and desperate to matter—keeps dragging danger toward them, mistaking noise for courage and control for heroism. Mari, Justin’s partner, is pushed past patience into brutal honesty. Kenzie, a quiet survivor carrying her dog and the memory of her family’s deaths, learns quickly—because silence, not strength, keeps you alive. This is not a story about clever zombies or easy survival. The dead react to sound. The living react to fear. Every choice is loud. Every mistake echoes. And while the horde closes in from the outside, the real danger fractures the people still breathing—grief, guilt, rage, and the unbearable question haunting them all: Where is Ella Belle? Surviving Zombies is a visceral, character-driven apocalypse that strips away hero fantasies and replaces them with moral collapse, trauma, and the brutal truth of survival: you don’t just fight the end of the world—you fight each other, and yourself, while it’s happening.
