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? 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?

Tale of Four

Seventeen years have passed since the four received a command before birth, from a being Incomprehensible to them. With the King dead, the realm is ready to explode, being held together by a fragile peace. On a continent that struggles to know peace, the four move forward, willingly or unwillingly guided by their command. Tristan Cosmaton, a princeling of the Cosmaton dynasty, resides at the Everlight Palace, a place where everything is a performance. After the late King Elias III's death, the realm elects a new ruler, fearing the civil war that could erupt under normal succession rules. After seventeen years of blending into the background, with the sole goal of survival, he finally decides to step out of the shadows, not through ambition but a belief that it was the next step for what he had always done. After seventeen years, Alice is finally granted the title of Magi and given the freedom she has always craved to explore the Mad House and learn of the horrors and wonders that exist beyond the doors lining the magical tower. Charging ahead, she slowly delves deeper into the world's forbidden truths, pursuing a goal she doesn't truly understand the cost of. Arriving in Kript, Isis decides to leave Veston after seventeen years and head west. Landing in Oros, she sets out on a mission to return a holy icon she comes across, only to be pulled into the horrors of Oros and have her faith in the world shattered. Even as her faith in the world crumbles, her journey never ends, and through it she is drawn closer to the choice she must make. With one prophecy before birth, 'Defend the Dove of Salvation, ' Oliver rises from a Lordless Knight, searching for a liege he doesn't know to become the greatest sword in the realm. Oliver travels, fighting battle after battle, serving men he hates, desperately trying to rise within Veston, just so he can find the one he is destined to serve. ----------------------- Other than the first short arc, which introduced all the characters at once, each arc will focus on a person's story unless they meet or are in close proximity to one another. Each arc won't just solely focus on the MC POV, but characters around their immediate orbit or are extremely important to the plot, but if it ever switches away from the MC to another character, it will be for a brief time. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Will have character portraits created over time, but that is a lot of money and will take time. In the meantime, they will be left blank.

Bowing my head and bending my waist is out of respect! Lifting my head and standing tall is to give orders! Old geezer, hurry and recharge my brother’s soul tool motorcycle! And bring him ten immortal herbs, he’s hungry!” Tang San spat out blood in rage. Su Yunlin smiled faintly: “Don’t rush, old geezer.

Honkai Star Rail: What Should I Do If Ms.Herta Looks at Me Like This?

[Translation][Slice of Life][Single Female Lead Herta][The Protagonist Will Become an Emanator][There Will Be an Original Planet] "Ms.Herta, what do you think about your assistant Bai Luan always claiming to be not a genius?" "I won't look at him. If I see him, I will just tell him to get back to work." - This conversation is from a hasty interview with Ms.Herta. Bai Luan was reborn by the system in front of the Madam Herta in the Honkai Star Rail world. At this time, the Herta Space Station had not yet been launched, and the simulated universe had not yet been developed... The system asked Bai Luan: "Why should we respect life?" Then he gave Bai Luan two golden fingers: a small dark room with unlimited practice time and the ability to turn the items he made into magical objects. So, in order to help the system understand this, Bai Luan wanted to live a more exciting life, so he... He tricked the Ms.Herta into believing he could see destiny, letting the Aha take the blame, witnessed the launch of the Herta Space Station, became the Ms.Herta assistant and the station commander, attempted to catch a Strellarons with his hands, completed all 52 courses of the Godfather of Truth, acted like a genius in front of the Genius Club members, and helped build a simulated universe... As I spent more time with Ms.Herta, something started to look a little off in her eyes... She seemed to really think I was a genius... Wait, why is Nous looking at me too?! How did I trick you too?! Even now, if I say I'm not a genius, do you still believe me? ... English is not my first language, so there will be some mistake. Check my review reply for Raw title. If there mistake you can try leave a comment on it, but don't get your hope too high. p*treon/Az_Ki

The Legendary Knight: Rise of the Primordial Dragon

Join discord: https://discord.gg/sxcx85Mta Twenty years ago, the Legendary Knight single-handedly ended the devastating War of Dragons, becoming humanity's greatest hero. In the remote countryside village of Grimwood, a boy named Vlad grew up chasing that legend with unwavering determination, driven by a promise he had once made to the moon. However, at sixteen, during the Awakening Ritual, he was branded a failure—awakening only a pathetic D-Rank talent that promised nothing but mediocrity. Yet while others mocked his impossible dream, Vlad refused to give up. Together with his childhood companion Chloe and the friends he would meet within the walls of Arcane Academy, he continued moving forward. What no one knew was that he had awakened something far greater than mere talent. [Legacy System Initialized... Welcome, Host.] As Vlad takes his first steps toward an impossible dream, ancient mysteries begin to unravel and primordial beings that have slumbered for countless ages slowly begin to awaken, their attention inexplicably drawn to Vlad, a D-Ranked boy. --- It's a slow-paced fantasy academy story filled with action, comedy, and a lot of heartwarming romantic moments that will leave you grinning under your blanket at night. No overexaggerated moments of everyone calling the MC pathetic or trash because of his talent. It's a one-time thing and then it's done. Once the protagonist proves his strength, he won't be mindlessly mocked. No over-the-top cliche drama of spoiled noble kids picking fights with the commoner MC in the academy. There are only mild moments to keep the story grounded in reality.
