The Continent of Etho:Balancekeeper

Beneath the gilded glow of an Ethos sunset, Leon—once Leonard Ventura, a burnt-out Earth coder—sits motionless by a forest stream, his small body a prison for an adult soul. Reborn as a four-year-old orphan in Acorn Village, a humble settlement clinging to the edge of the Whispering Forest, he hides his clarity behind a veil of vacant stares. For weeks, he has pretended to be the "broken" child the villagers pity, silently absorbing every thread of this medieval world: the feudal chains of the Aurestia Empire, the scarcity of metal and magic, and the quiet fear in his adoptive mother Erika’s eyes—fear that her son will never truly awaken. But Leon is awake. And he is adapting. His former life’s greatest tools—programming logic, engineering ingenuity, a knack for pattern-solving—are not obsolete here. They are his secret weapon. In a world where survival depends on balance between land and forest, light and shadow, his Earth-born rationality becomes a bridge to Ethos’s hidden magic. When he crosses paths with Eldrin, a reclusive herbal mage fleeing the tyrannical Holy Light Church, Leon discovers his mind can decode runic systems like code, refine elemental salts like chemicals, and turn simple tools into instruments of survival. Yet peace is fragile. Acorn Village lies in Greyrock Territory, where Count Valerius monopolizes the sacred Salt Lake—source of both sustenance and magical stabilization—while the Church hunts "heretical" magic users like Eldrin. When shadow-tainted beasts from the Transverse Mountains’ sealed rift begin terrorizing the village, Leon’s charade collapses. Forced to reveal his brilliance to protect Erika and his new home, he becomes a target: the Church brands him a threat to their dogma, the Count sees him as a challenge to his power, and ancient forces stir, sensing a balance-shifter in their midst. To survive, Leon must forge unlikely alliances—with a skeptical Moonshade elf from the Whispering Forest, a gruff dwarf blacksmith guarding star-silver ore, and followers of the Nightveil Sect, unjustly accused of unleashing the shadow corruption. Together, they must unravel the Church’s lie: the Shadow Rift was not opened by heretics, but by the Church itself, in a greedy bid to monopolize light magic. Leon’s journey is one of reinvention. He must merge Earth’s logic with Ethos’s elemental laws to craft a new kind of magic—one that heals, unites, and restores balance. From a silent observer to a leader, from a stranger in a child’s body to the Balancekeeper Ethos needs, he will learn that power lies not in domination, but in harmony. In a world where gods play with fates and empires crumble over greed, Leon’s greatest magic is not spells or swords—it’s the courage to rewrite the rules. Will he bridge two worlds to save Ethos… or will the weight of his past and the chaos of his present consume him? *Balancekeeper of Ethos* weaves gritty survival, heartfelt family bonds, and epic fantasy into a tale where a coder’s wit outshines sorcery—and the unlikeliest hero becomes the world’s last hope.

Bloodmancer in the Jurassic Era: I use my Dinos to seduce Human mates

[Warning! R18+ Mature Content] After embarassingly dying by 'coming' on a museum worker, and then angering a Forgotten God by 'coming' on him as well, Jimmy transmigrated along with his date of the day, to another world where his problematic 'cannon' shots started making more sense. His destiny was fulfilled as he transmigrated into a Bloodmancer's body, where every shot literally was like that of a cannon's! Finding himself in a land riddled with dinosaurs, with species of dinosaurs jamming together from different Eras as if the Paleontological studies from back on Earth were a joke, survival was not only difficult, but it was unique! As a Bloodmancer, he learned that he could tame dinosaurs and keep them as pets, by essentially smushing their brains around like play dough! A useful skill, on account to the fact how infinitely useful dinosaurs were, since every living species bore Primal Magic, a category of magic with branches that were impossible to predict. Surrounded by temptation, by ladies who did not even comprehend the concept of a harem, he started collecting primal beauties as if it was a day-job! Somehow, his tamed dinosaurs helped him attract women, in a way that it was nearly impossible to figure out! He just knew that women wanted him, even the older ones, and he made great use of this curse/blessing from the angered God! He almost felt like every time he made love with his girlfriends, the Forgotten God got angrier. However, life was never that simple. With abandoned alien technology sprinkled across the world, and large-scale Tribe Wars brewing, Jimmy had little time to figure out how to best use such technologies in a world where the greatest invention that humanity made was not the wheel, but the bow and arrow! Collecting beauties might be fun, but what would the point be if his tribe got wiped out from the face of the Grasslands, his new home? The clock was ticking, so to speak, and he had to act fast! "Them thighs might be thick, but the plot is thicker, and with jacked up dinosaur clones sent to war, the future was absolutely impossible to predict!" ... - 200+ Power Stones a week = 1 Bonus Chapter - 30 Golden Tickets = 1 Bonus Chapter ~ Be sure to check out my other novels in my author profile.

Gravity Magus

After accidentally causing a world ending Black Hole in his lab, Winston found himself in a fantasy world, where an endless sea of Mages sought Godhood itself by ascending through the realms of mana. Transmigrated into the body of a Gravity Mage, a branch of magic that was as rare as gold itself, so powerful that he could squish his enemies into blobs of flesh with his mind, he eventually figured out that the best way to live in this world, was to ascend through the realms of mana himself! The fastest, if not the most advanced way to ascend, was to hunt evil beings in all shapes or forms, steal their essences, and purify it to strengthen, and essentially improve the quality of his mana pool so he could ascend through the realms, or levels of mana quality himself. The essences that were prized the most, were those of dark, and perhaps even demonic Goddesses! When these Goddesses had their backs against the wall, they did everything in their power to seduce the Mages who bested them in combat. Their vile charm was difficult to resist, even impossible to some, but much like the alluring song of a Siren, torment followed any man who gave in to the seduction of the Goddesses! Their evil nature could not be taken lightly, as the destruction of Civilization itself was one of the minor sins in their past, in comparison to what these Goddesses were capable of! The hunt for power progression was challenging, fit only to let the greatest Mages advance. Winston considered himself a man of greater means, and so he was ready to give it his best shot to progress, and keep his head on his shoulders. He was ready to go after the rank of a Gravity Magus, no matter what it took, as beyond the rank of a Magus, immortality, and even Goodhood itself was just around the corner! … ~ Be sure to check out my other novels in my author profile.

Cryptomining Supervillain

Wondered if a cryptomining app would make you a Superhero..or villain? 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.

From Cursed Outcast to Every Alpha’s Desire

Ember was a curse. ​At least, that’s what the Blood Fang Pack told her. Her father died the moment her mother’s pregnancy was discovered, and her mother followed him into death during childbirth. When her only friend died in an accident when they were nine, the pack’s suspicion turned into a label: Ember was a "walking funeral." ​The Awakening Ceremony was her only hope. She believed a high-class wolf would finally prove she belonged. Instead, her transformation failed in front of everyone, leaving her declared unworthy by the Moon Goddess. To sharpen the sting, the mate bond snapped into place, tying her to Axel, the Alpha’s son. Forced to choose between a "cursed" mate and his future as the Alpha, Axel rejected her publicly. Imprisoned and sentenced to die at dawn, Ember’s life seemed over. Until she escaped and was rescued by Blaine, the young Alpha of a rival pack. When she finally woke, the world she knew shattered. The bond she thought was destroyed still existed, and a second, impossible bond had formed with Blaine. Ember soon learns a truth that defies everything she knew about fate: she was never meant for one mate, but four. Her failed transformation was not a failure at all, but the birth of a legend. She awakened as a Crimson Wyrd, a once-in-a-lifetime rarity that brings unparalleled prosperity and power to whichever pack she belongs to. Now, every Alpha in the region, including the one who rejected her, is ready to do anything to claim her.
