The Mech Touch

After obtaining the Mech Designer System, Ves aims to create the greatest mechs in the galaxy! In the far future, the galactic human civilization has entered the Age of Mechs. The countless lesser powers of humanity have come to adopt mechs as their main weapons of war. Only a small number of humans have the right genetic aptitude to pilot these destructive war machines the size of buildings. Born to a military family in the edge of the galaxy, Ves Larkinson is one of the many people who lacks the talent to earn glory in battle. Instead, he became a mech designer. Helped by his missing father, Ves has obtained the mysterious Mech Designer System that can help him rise in the galaxy and beyond. His mechs based on the principles of life quickly allows him to rise to prominence. Powerful and highly compatible with mech pilots, his products have the potential to take the market by storm. However, success does not come easily, and countless challenges bar his ability to sell his mechs to a market eager for innovation! With the sins of the human race in the galactic arena slowly catching up, Ves must navigate the perils of the ultra-competitive mech market and maintain control over his growing organization of misfits. This is the golden age of mechs. This is the golden age of humanity. The question is, will it last?

Clone Seeker

Ciel Adams is a Fourth Stage Esper from the now destroyed last stronghold of humanity; Bastion City. The city had survived long past the dreaded Judgment Day, a day when The Eternal Flames suddenly engulfed the world and the ghastly Fallen descended. This day also became the catalyst for a new era of the world, one where there is a surge in supernatural activities as well as the emergence of many monster races. These aberrations now threaten humanity from within while The Fallen do so from beyond the great dome of Bastion. However, despite humanity's bitter struggle, Bastion city was unable to prevent its destruction. Ciel, along with what remained of humanity, found himself beaten and all but defeated. Desperate to change such an end, Ciel deploys one of the few tricks left at his disposal, that being his ability to manifest each of The Major Arcana Cards into the real world and using this, he successfully regresses to the past.      However due to his unstable power his soul fails to withstand the arduous journey back and shatters into twenty two pieces. These pieces each represent a major arcana card which have been given shape as clones. Now awakening within a broken state, and lacking all the power which he once held, Ciel is faced with the arduous task of not only saving the dreaded future which awaits humanity, but of helping his previous mentor. All the while, he must also take it upon himself to seek out and hunt the clones of him with the goal of regaining his past power and obtaining a complete soul once more. Such a task will not be easy for each clone is ready and willing to engage in a bloody battle for survival.   While Ciel is occupied attempting to complete the daunting tasks set before him, his previous mentor has already started her new life as an Officer of the NSRA, the agency responsible for the eradication of monsters within Bastion…  Just how will these two fates collide?     What to expect:  [Weak to Strong] [Two POV’s] [Futuristic City] [Supernatural] [Action] [Monsters] [Apocalyptic Setting] [Slow Burn]

My Runic Inscriptions in the Age of Genetic Powers

When he was just a child, he killed his brother... and years later, his father and grandfather disappeared. One day, he found himself in a hospital bed, where they told him he had miraculously survived death — survived a wound that tore a hole through his stomach, leaving his insides scattered around him. Zeus loses all memory of the last two years of his life and now battles an unknown enemy in search of his father and grandfather, trying to survive alongside members of the Union Army’s Special Task Force — friends he doesn't remember at all. . . . . . Hello, you who are reading this. This is the author of this trash speaking to you directly. What’s that? Why do I call it trash? … Let me tell you why. First, this isn’t a harem story. Boring, right? What about the women? You know, some people think having a bunch of women around the main character somehow makes him cooler. Well, sorry — our protagonist doesn't care much about women, and this isn’t that kind of story… Trash, right? Second, there’s no young master trope. What!? Man, really!? How will the hero look badass if he’s not slapping arrogant idiots left and right? Sadly, my friend, there are no fools in this story. And let me tell you something, as a reader, not a writer: to hell with those dumb dialogues, and to hell with every story that has those young master scenes... Boring, isn’t it? Third, the protagonist is not overpowered (OP). So, he develops slowly, but he does have powers from the beginning. Meaning this isn't one of those slow-burn stories, but it's not lightning-fast either. . And as the author, I’ll tell you this — I do what I want. This is my story, born from my thoughts and choices. I’m not the kind of writer who writes to please the readers. I write what I enjoy and what I find logical and meaningful. So this is my trash — and welcome, dear reader, to a new journey and a new book. I hope you find something unique and different from the usual. . . . [chapters] "I upload 7 to 12 chapters of the novel every week. New chapters are released daily at 12:00 midnight."

From Zero to Stardom: The Radiant Rebirth

Charlie is a nobody. In the small, forgettable town of Maplewood, Charlie barely exists. His days are spent in a haze of lethargy, slumped on a basement couch that smells faintly of regret. His body, soft and bloated, seems to mirror the weight of his apathy—a monument to years of bad decisions and the crushing inertia of laziness. His parents look at him with disappointment, his classmates avoid him like a bad smell, and the girls, even the kind ones, can barely disguise their pity. He’s bullied, mocked, and ignored, but Charlie doesn’t care. Not really. Or so he tells himself. Until one day, a moment so small and humiliating it shouldn’t matter tears open the carefully constructed wall of indifference he’s built around himself. For the first time in years, Charlie feels something stir deep inside—a spark of something raw, terrifying, and undeniable. Then, one night, everything changes. A system appears, a voice in his mind that speaks of transformation, power, and redemption. It offers him a choice: to stay as he is and sink deeper into the void of his existence, or to rise—literally—and reshape himself, body and soul. The system promises him a path, but it won’t be easy. To shed the weight of his old self, Charlie must first face the physical and emotional burdens he’s carried for so long. The path is brutal, filled with trials that test his mind, body, and spirit. But as Charlie begins to claw his way out of the pit of mediocrity, he discovers a world beyond Maplewood—a world of incredible challenges, impossible bodies, and a system that rewards transformation. The ultimate prize? A body forged by effort, determination, and resilience—a body of iron, plasma, and even the golden brilliance of the sun. But each step comes with its own cost, and the system’s promises may hide more than they reveal. Can Charlie rise above the weight of his past, or will the weight of the world crush him once and for all?

After fifteen years apart, fate brings them back together under unexpected circumstances. Minji, now a successful fashion designer, finds herself in a meeting with none other than Minho—the CEO of a prominent company, and the boy who once made her heart race with the simplest of gestures. But the years between them have created a distance that neither knows how to bridge. Minji’s been busy building a career, leaving the past behind, but when Minho walks back into her life, old feelings resurface—feelings she’s spent years trying to suppress. Minho, now a powerful and enigmatic businessman, has never forgotten Minji, the girl who once captured his heart with her kindness and grace. Though he’s achieved everything he ever wanted, he’s never quite moved on from her. As they work together on a high-profile collaboration, the lines between business and personal blur. There’s a magnetic pull between them, one that neither can deny. But with both of them carrying scars from the past, they must decide if love can be rekindled or if the years of separation have changed them too much to ever return to what they once had. In this second-chance romance, Minji and Minho must navigate the complexities of their newfound relationship while balancing their careers, ambitions, and the weight of their shared history. Will the love they once had be enough to overcome the distance of time, or will it be lost forever?
