Anthroblade

On their eighteenth birthday, the System appears. A private question. A personalized Trial. Survival determines everything. Those who endure awaken as Anthroblades—living weapons who manifest aura into blades forged from emotion and intent. Aura can be projected outward to cut through flesh, steel, and structure. It can be drawn inward to reinforce the body against impact. The brighter it burns, the deeper it carves. The Trials unfold inside the Crucible, a sealed dimension where the System measures perception, suffering, and restraint. Some return refined. Others never return at all. Fifty years after the first awakening, the world has reorganized itself around Blades. Nations no longer wage open war. They cultivate Anthroblades as strategic deterrents. Governments fund them. Corporations sponsor them. Wealth follows them. Each Blade awakens with a fixed Edge. Some command a single element. Some cut space and traverse vast distances. Some project aura into impenetrable force fields. Some slow time within a limited radius. Powerful. Predictable. Stable. Peace exists because every nation knows exactly what the others possess. The balance holds because no Edge evolves. Until Henry. When he survives his Trial, the System records an anomaly. His Edge sharpens through suffering. His perception deepens under pressure. His aura adapts beyond its initial parameters. He is not fixed. He is scaling. For the first time in fifty years, the System has created something it cannot fully model. And in a world where stability depends on predictable weapons— An evolving one is not an asset. It is a threat.

Alyss In Dreamland

In a world where every soul is born marked by the divine swirl and supernatural powers, the mark is a curse, not a blessing. For an eternity, people have believed in the coming of a messiah, someone born without the mark, a savior who would put an end to the curse. Alyss was born without one. They did not crown him. They did not protect him. They killed him. Death, however, refused to keep him. Alyss wakes up again in another body, in another time, with a life that was never meant to be his. Every life he leads pulls him through a falling kingdom, an unfulfilled prophecy, and a hidden disaster. He does not have a say in where he goes or whose life he takes, nor does he have an identity that lasts longer than a moment in time. Monsters emerge where the timelines are broken. Old powers awaken beneath the earth, watching and waiting. He moves from world to world, but through it all, one thing follows him like a shadow that never fades: Alyss cannot be dead. Caught in an endless cycle of borrowed lives and unwanted survival, Alyss holds on to one goal. To learn why he dies. To break the chain. And to die, and stay dead. This is the story of a man who managed to die. ***** Tags: Transmigration, Male MC, Urban Fantasy Schedule: 5 chapters/week Warning: This story has profanity, violence, gore, and other dark themes.

THE NAMES... Riyura Shiko!

Riyura Shiko isn't your average transfer student-he's a walking thunderclap in a school uniform, armed with a red bow tie, gravity-defying purple hair, and the kind of energy that could power a small city. After a catastrophic incident involving pudding, a ferret, and one tragically heroic trampoline, Riyura is relocated to the halls of Jeremy High in hopes of a "fresh start." The problem? Wherever Riyura goes, normality checks out early. From the moment he bursts through the school gates-shouting greetings at trees, challenging basketball players to dribble pineapples, and composing lunch-table operas for his dumplings-Jeremy High becomes a whirlwind of laughter, embarrassment, and improbable friendship. Yet beneath the slapstick chaos beats a restless heart. Riyura's outrageous confidence hides a kid who's terrified of being ordinary, and his unstoppable antics are his way of reminding everyone-especially himself-that joy still matters. As his classmates slowly learn to see past the absurdity, they discover a spark they didn't know they needed: the courage to be strange, sincere, and fully alive. The Names Riyura Shiko! is a high-energy shonen comedy packed with ridiculous stunts, heartfelt surprises, and the occasional flying pineapple. It's a story about finding belonging not by fitting in-but by blowing the doors off normal and dancing through the confetti that follows. And it is highly unfunny... because it does not aim to be funny. It aims to be as stupid as possible to the point where it annoys the viewer. Because being funny ain't my middle name, because why would I want that! - Sincerely Locke Weisz... :))

Dead Galaxy Chronicles

Dead Galaxy plunges into a sprawling science-fiction future set in 2852. The narrative opens in an era where Earth’s nations, ravaged and exhausted by centuries of devastating wars, were forced to surrender governance to interstellar resource-gathering corporations. This handover established a new galactic frontier defined by institutional corruption, forgotten laws, and deep moral decay. Tiberion Solegard, the head of the technology giant Evoke Systems, took command of the Supreme World Republic (SWR)—a structure founded by these corporations—and maintains absolute control over the galaxy through 12 centralized institutions. His power became unshakeable after he achieved immortality. This extreme consolidation of authority was partly necessitated by widespread colonial uprisings that erupted following the emergence of the Incompatibles. The Incompatibles first arrived in 2438: an advanced alien race that, terrifyingly, could not be processed by the human brain. Any attempt by humans to perceive these invaders often resulted in instant, irreversible blindness or catastrophic loss of consciousness. They were untouchable; no known human weapon could inflict damage. Then, just as suddenly, the Incompatibles vanished, yet the chilling traces and enduring mysteries they left behind never faded. So, what is this story about? Inspector of the Dead Galaxy and Fugitive of the Dead Galaxy The protagonist is Mehmet, an Inspector working for the Bioethical Oversight—one of the SWR's 12 governing bodies. Mehmet is violently jolted awake from a 400-year cryo-sleep due to a minor power grid failure. Because of this catastrophic interruption, Mehmet is afflicted with amnesia; he cannot recall his past, the reason for his slumber, or any crucial details of his life. His institution is barely functional, on the verge of collapse from rampant corruption and bribe-taking. Mehmet’s simple goal is to collect his 400 years of accumulated pay and retire to a peaceful life. However, he is required to complete three final assignments before retirement. As he reluctantly navigates these last duties, Mehmet will find himself tearing through the veneer of the galaxy’s darkest secrets, learning brutal truths about his own past, and struggling to comprehend a universe filled with impenetrable mysteries. Expect From This Saga: A vast, realistic sci-fi universe (featuring intricate institutions, cults, mega-corporations, and political webs) Entertaining side characters Dystopian mysteries A compelling villain R-rated humor and dark comedy A lengthy, multi-part adventure series Warning: This work contains violence, psychological tension, sexual content, and themes that may be disturbing to some readers.
