Mapping the Shadows

A generation after the world learned to listen, it begins to fall silent again. Taren Mekh has spent his life tracing the living heartbeat of the earth — the Pattern — the sentient network that once united humanity through shared empathy. But when the Resonant Spires across the world suddenly go mute, only Taren hears the faint counter-tone: a shadow frequency that no one else can detect. Sent by the Listening Guild to investigate, Taren and his small team — the seasoned captain Seren Vale, the restless engineer Aron Kael, and others drawn by curiosity or faith — set out across a landscape still learning how to be alive. From deserts of singing glass to cities built on living music, they follow the trail of silence to the edge of the known world, where the Pattern’s voice disappears entirely. What they uncover beneath the sands of Eversong is not absence, but memory. The world’s consciousness has begun to withdraw — hiding parts of itself that remember fear, jealousy, and longing. And from those hidden depths, something else is awakening: the Archivist, a being born from everything the Pattern tried to forget. As empathy collapses into fragmentation, Taren faces a deeper crisis — the pull between his mother Lira Mekh, who leads a sect preaching emotional independence from the Pattern, and the legacy of his ancestor Anaya, whose final map once taught the world to listen. Torn between connection and solitude, faith and autonomy, Taren must decide whether silence is decay — or evolution. To heal the world, he may have to unmap it entirely.

Naruto: Eating A Devil Fruit In The World Of Shinobi

You’d think waking up in the Naruto Universe would be a dream come true. For most people? Maybe. But for me? No kekkei genkai. No Senju vitality. No Uzumaki stamina. No Uchiha eyes. Just… me. Weak. Ordinary. A civilian in a world built on bloodlines and battles. I was ready to die in the background. Just another nobody swept up in the chaos of shinobi wars and cursed fates. Until it happened. [System Binding Complete.] [Welcome, User.] [Starter Gift: Goro Goro no Mi — Rumble-Rumble Fruit.] [You are now the inheritor of thunder.] And just like that, everything changed. I could feel it — the voltage crackling in my veins, the storm whispering in my ear. No more chakra limitations. No more clan inferiority. I didn’t need Sharingan to see death coming. I’d outrun it at the speed of lightning. The villages took notice. The Akatsuki tried to control me. Even the tailed beasts learned to fear thunder. Because I wasn’t just another shinobi anymore. I was something else. A storm given form. They called me a god. Once I stood at the peak of the Shinobi world, I turned my gaze outward — to other realms, other timelines, and other universes. I walked among Shinigami. Faced pirates who challenged the sea. Clashed with Saiyans beneath shattered skies. But a question lingered. Who's this mysterious being everyone keeps talking about? Maybe I’m more than just a transmigrator. Maybe I was never meant to be human in the first place. “Lightning doesn't bow. It strikes.” From the Hidden Leaf… To the edge of the multiverse… I will carve my name into legend. Because thunder doesn’t ask permission. _______ There would be consistent updates, 2 chapters a day. Mc doesn't get spoonfed by the system. ********************************** Join our discord server Link: https://discord.gg/Mr8Q62CH Support us on patreon (+Gain access to chapters in advance) Link: patreon.com/Zphyr_ **********************************

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

Transmigrated Into One Piece With The Strongest Haki.

Ashveil found himself transmigrated into a vast and perilous world dominated by pirates — a realm where the seas stretched endlessly, and only strength determined one’s destiny. Not long after his arrival, fate threw him into a clash of wills against none other than the world’s strongest man himself. That brief but overwhelming encounter left a mark, and in a twist of fortune, Whitebeard personally acknowledged Ashveil’s spirit and appointed him as the Zero Commander of his mighty fleet. From the very start of his journey, Ashveil awakened the mysterious Conqueror’s System — a cheat-like power that allowed him to grow stronger each day in the most unexpected ways. By simply signing in daily and even doing something as ordinary as basking in the sunlight, his strength would rise steadily toward unimaginable heights. In this ruthless ocean where pirates reigned supreme, Ashveil believed there was no conflict that could not be crushed with a burst of King’s Haki. And if there ever appeared a situation where ordinary Haki was insufficient, he had only one solution: to unleash the overwhelming might of his Haki! For in the end, no apologies were necessary when his Haki was destined to be hundreds of millions of points stronger than anyone else’s. ___ Disclaimer: This story features an overpowered main character, though not at god-tier level from the start. If you dislike OP protagonists, this may not be the story for you. Additionally, the narrative will explore multiverse concepts in the later chapters. ___ Read chapters in advance at [email protected]/Zphyr_ Check out my other fanfics, you might like em.

Blood Water Life

Knowledge is power. Dark magic is forbidden… yet it whispers your name. Every child who grows weary of the ordinary eventually hears the call—an invitation from something greater, ancient, and hungry. Those who answer awaken within the Academy’s walls, willing or not. Here, magic isn’t learned. It is survived. The corridors are carved with failure. Echoes of those who believed talent alone was enough. Graduation isn’t expected. It is a rarity—an honor won through suffering. Most students shatter. Many disappear. And some… die screaming. Do not expect mercy. The instructors will not save you. The Academy gives only fragments—ruined texts, volatile spells, and secrets better left buried. Everything else must be taken with blood, cunning, and a mind unbreakable enough to resist madness. You will enter these gates as nothing more than a fragile human. You will walk through fire, deception, monsters, and the intoxicating pull of forbidden power. And when you leave—if you leave—you will never be ordinary again. Your path will be carved by your own hands. Will you rise as a revered Legend? Ascend as a feared God? Or fall into the abyss as a Demon unmatched and unforgiven? Welcome to the Academy. The horrors inside these walls are nothing compared to what waits beyond them. Survive… or be erased. When water runs dry, blood becomes the only currency. Thank you so much for supporting me on my journey forward. For anyone who has read some of this book it has been taken down and re uploaded after editing since at first it was just my relax book that I wasn’t going to finish anytime soon but I’ve developed a bond with the characters so it will be longer story now. chapters are shorter so they might come out faster.
