The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Or will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

Iron Lung: The Regression of System

After dying multiple times under mysterious circumstances, Dave awakens during the catastrophic collapse of Earth. A strange System appears before him, assigning a mission: witness the birth of the Moon. Each time Dave dies, he doesn’t reset—instead, fragments of his future self merge into him, slowly integrating memories from lives he has not yet lived. Alongside him is Jack, a pragmatic observer who understands that Dave’s repeated deaths are turning him into a future version of himself through a chain of timelines. They are joined by the enigmatic entity Iron Lung, a distorted being who exists partially outside normal reality and seems to know the outcome of planetary events. As Earth’s crust fractures and ejects massive debris into orbit, Dave and the others reach the Convergence Point, where gravity aligns to rip a huge portion of the planet into space. The violent event creates the Moon, but destabilizes Earth’s mantle. In the chaos, a mysterious submarine-like vessel falls from the sky—piloted by an older version of Dave. Future Dave explains the truth: Dave is not trapped in a time loop but part of a forward-moving chain of deaths and integrations, each life pushing him closer to the person he will become. Earth’s transformation has only begun. As oceans evaporate and the crust ruptures, molten iron floods the planet’s basins, forming a vast Iron Ocean. To survive—and to understand the source of the System and the strange cosmic events—the group boards the submarine and descends into the newly formed metallic sea. Deep beneath the iron waves, sonar detects an enormous ancient structure buried in the ocean floor. Future Dave reveals a grim truth: every version of Dave eventually reaches this place. And every one of them dies there. Something inside the structure is still alive. The descent into the Iron Ocean marks the beginning of the next phase of the mission—and the first of many deaths yet to come.

The Invincible Full-Moon System

The sinful acts of humanity bring forth a great calamity upon themselves, or so they thought. Supernatural Emergence happened. Supernatural creatures start to come out of nowhere and forcefully claim half of the Earth and massacre any humans that cross their paths. All of them are too powerful, dozens of countries fall under their diabolic claws. Humanity was pushed against the corner. But things started to turn around when humanity began to awaken magical powers. Awakened is the name for those who awaken these powers blessed by the Gods, and they become the pillars of humanity. Rex Silverstar is a normal boy who has a traumatic experience. On the day of the Supernatural Emergence, a Werewolf takes everything he has. He lost his family and his home, left alone in this cruel world. What drives him to live every day is his deep hatred towards the Supernaturals. Joining the military in the hope of helping exterminate the Supernaturals from an early age, he found out that it's impossible to kill the Werewolf that was responsible for killing his parents without being an Awakened. On a fateful night, in a near-death experience, he's given a chance by the full moon. It was the turning point of his life. Obtaining a System that allows him to become stronger, having the potential to match and surpass the Supernaturals, Rex was ecstatic until he saw his stats window. "I'M NOT A WEREWOLF!!" "Daily quest failed, sanity stat has been decreased by 20%!" "Sanity stat is too low, you are unable to contain the blood moon blessing!" "Starting forceful transformation!" "WHAT?! I'm a human! What transformation?!" "You are overwhelmed with bloodlust!" ----- Join my discord: https://discord.gg/cg6a5sBkpJ Support me here: https://ko-fi.com/mrboogey13 ----- I do not own the cover of the book, if you made it and want to take it down just say so and I will immediately change it.
