Why Did I Even Awaken?

The world changed the day ten colossal towers erupted from the earth. No one knew if they were pillars holding up the sky or spears piercing the land. It didn’t matter. They were a trial. A trial for the right to life. Every year, humanity must clear at least one floor or face waves of unkillable monsters pouring into the world. But in the shadows of the towers, a new breed of human emerged. The Awakened. Those who reached their twentieth year and found divinity in their veins. Gods in human skin. Terrifying. Beautiful. Absolute. Inside their power-hungry world, Noah was born with a weak body and a life shaped by loss. All he wants is his own small world, where he could live without depending on or burdening others. But the world is rarely interested in what a man wants. Certainly not for Noah. Despite being a rat of the Extraction Zone, Noah awakens. His reward is a brutal beating that shatters his fragile body—only for it to heal moments later. It was a miracle, but certainly not without a horrifying cost. His life. And that can only be refilled by an energy source: Crystals. But damn, they are more expensive than his own life. All Awakened are meant to fight for humanity. Though Noah has no intention of doing any of that, he now has to fight with his own awakening. He just wants to live a healthy and peaceful life. He’ll be healthy, alright. He’ll never have a single scar. But his own power is eating him alive, one miracle at a time. How long can a man stay alive when his own body is a parasite? He has no fucking idea.

ASCENSION FARMING SYSTEM

I was just a normal person an orphan living an ordinary life, stuck in a boring office job. Every day was the same: work, deadlines, fake smiles, and exhaustion. I had no grand dreams, only the wish for a quiet, carefree life. Then one night, everything ended. On my way home, while crossing a bridge, I saw a little girl I didn’t even know about to be hit by a speeding truck. I didn’t think. I rushed forward and pushed her away. The next moment, pain exploded. I was hit, thrown off the bridge and then there was darkness. Yeah. Truck-kun got me. When I opened my eyes again, I wasn’t dead but I was drowning in water. Cold water filled my mouth and lungs, and panic surged through me trying to swim. At the same time, I realized something was very wrong. My body was small like that of a five-year-old child. Just as my consciousness began to fade, someone grabbed me and dragged me out of the water. A middle-aged man had saved my life. When I finally caught my breath and looked around, my heart trembled. This place wasn’t Earth. There were no buildings, no roads, no cars. Only endless golden fields, whispering winds, lush forests, and towering green mountains. That’s when the truth became clear. I had transmigrated into another world. A cultivation world. But I didn’t awaken as a powerful warrior or a genius young master. I was reborn as the son of a spiritual farmer. Then, a strange voice echoed in my mind. “Grow crops. Harvest cultivation treasures. Cultivate and become Immortal.” I had obtained a Reward System. Every harvest granted me spiritual energy, skills, pills, artifacts, even cultivation techniques. While others fought and bled in dangerous realms for resources, I cultivated quietly through soil, sunlight, and hard work. But in a world where strength is law, could a farmer truly live peacefully? Would my tranquil fields remain untouched… Or would enemies come to reap what I had sown? When the time came, would I choose only the path of the farmer Or would I also take up the sword? This is my journey—from a burned-out office worker to an immortal spiritual farmer, cultivating not just crops… but power, wisdom, and fate itself. ---------------------- what you can expect : -> Clear story flow -> No braindead/stupid/low IQ MC -->Not a SINGLE -> No excessive side stories -> Max effort in writing to provide relaxation for readers not frustration -> You can expect beast pets, adventures and other things because MC is not a shut in NEET -> Display of the MC inventory at every harvest for ideal consumption of resources and tally them -> There will be standard rules of cultivation to avoid confusion when comparing MC to others -> You can check auxiliary chapters for the standards and rules, these chapters will be updated along with the story progression

Phantom Wayfarers

Sebastian’s life is turned upside down when he is unexpectedly thrust into the dangerous and unpredictable world of the Realm Walkers. As he navigates this new reality, he must face deadly challenges, forge uneasy alliances, and confront secrets that could change everything he knows about himself and the realms around him. With every choice carrying high stakes, Sebastian discovers that surviving this world means more than just strength—it requires courage, wit, and the resilience to overcome the darkest twists of fate. Note that the build up of the first few chapters may seem slow. ......... Sebastian pushed himself upright, though it felt as if the air itself had turned to tar around him. His thoughts drifted through a dense, suffocating fog that weighed more than his own limbs. Every breath was an effort. Every movement felt resisted by something unseen—something that clung to him without leaving a single bruise or mark to prove it existed. There was no chain. No wound. No logical reason for the heaviness sinking into his bones. And yet it was there. Relentless. He staggered toward the mirror standing quietly before him—too quietly, as if it had been waiting. A shard of memory flickered at the back of his mind, but every attempt to grasp it made the fog thicken, swallowing the thought before it could form. When he finally faced the glass, he froze. His reflection was… wrong. The face was his, yet the expression wasn’t. A smile threatened at the corners of his mouth—not his smile, but something using it. The eyes blinked half a second too late. And the longer he stared, the more the reflection seemed to grow aware of him, as though it had just woken up. A crawling cold travelled up his spine. “What… are you?” he whispered. His reflection tilted its head first. A smile still played across its lips—thin, deliberate, and wrong. There was no warmth in it. No flicker of anything human. It was a cold curve of the mouth, carved with the kind of precision that suggested practice rather than emotion. The eyes above it didn’t match the expression; they remained distant, unfocused, as though gazing at something beyond him trying but also failing to recall. Then its gaze focused on him It then spoke: “The scavenger of the Sovereign’s lost soul, A legacy bound to us… for the world to behold.”

S-Class Hunter is Actually a Monster

Rancid wouldn't say that his life is terrible. Sure, he lives in the worst part of the city and his mother may hate his guts, but he has a roof over his head and the ability to work. That's more than he could ever ask for. The point is, his situation could've been worse. And maybe he jinxed himself by believing all of this, because it does, indeed, get worse. When a team of hunters camp out on the streets, Rancid does his best to avoid as much trouble with them as he can. But when his choices end up back firing, he finds himself in a terrible situation. He doesn't become a well respected hunter or a healer who saves others from the brink of death, oh no. Instead he gets his brother killed and lets a monster possess him - more or less. *** “Well, aren't you a wonder.” Rancid’s blood runs cold at the guttural voice. The monster stares back at him and licks his scaled lips. “You can talk?” Rancid whispers, his heart stuttering in his chest. He may not know much about monster types, but he does know one thing. Monsters aren't supposed to talk. The beast laughs, “Why wouldn't I be able to? I've been looking for a strong body, and I've been watching you. That dumb hunter ripped into your shoulder, and even through the pain you were still able to move your appendage. How very strong willed you are indeed.” “Wh-what?” “You don't mind if I borrow your body, do you?” The beast begins to shift and plumes of green smoke hisses from beneath its scales. Then the monster sinks into Rancid's body, disappearing.
