Manas was an ordinary boy who died a hero’s death, sacrificing himself to save a child from a speeding bus. But instead of the afterlife, he opened his eyes in a world he recognized all too well—the setting of a popular, apocalyptic Urban Fantasy novel. Reincarnated as a minor extra in a declining, low-noble family on the outskirts of civilization, Manas knows the truth: this world is a ticking time bomb. With demons lurking in the city shadows, corporate Elves controlling the economy, and a reckless Protagonist destined to attract disaster, being a "nobody" is a death sentence. He plans to keep his head down and live a quiet life, but on his 15th birthday, fate intervenes. He awakens a System that grants him +1 XP for every second he spends training, reading, or learning. Along with it comes an Unranked ability that defies the laws of magic: Ideogenesis—the power to manifest concepts into reality. Possessing a Super Memory and a cheat that rewards hard work, Manas decides to become the strongest entity in the shadows. He will enter the Academy, avoid the main plot at all costs, and prepare for the catastrophe that awaits. Because in a world of heroes and monsters, the safest place to be is the one no one notices.

In a debt-crushed rural corner of China, jade miner Li Wei drowns under crushing loans: 12.8 million won in personal debt and a staggering 165.8 million won family curse stretching back six generations. Hounded by four ruthless loan sharks and six mafia-connected gangs demanding monthly blood money, he scrapes by smuggling tiny jade fragments from brutal 12-hour mine shifts. One desperate night, after selling everything he owns to meet a payment and still arriving two minutes late, enforcers beat him to the edge of death. As life fades on a filthy alley street, an ancient jade-bound system awakens inside him—granting supernatural sight through solid rock and uncanny 999+ luck in uncovering priceless jade veins.

A boy born in poverty, genetically average, technically terrible, and physically behind everyone else, enters the most elite football academy in the country—ranked dead last nationwide. His motivation isn’t love for football. It’s spite. His father is still one of the greatest players alive, a global icon who abandoned his family and treats football like a god that matters more than people. The boy doesn’t want to surpass him in legacy. He wants to beat him once, on the same pitch, under the same rules—and prove that football isn’t just for the chosen.

When the city fails to stop the man responsible for the attacks, Arjun is offered a deal instead. Find him. Stop him. Get paid. The man he’s hunting doesn’t rant. He doesn’t run.

BLACK TRACE In modern Italy, power does not rely on open violence. It moves through institutions, intermediaries, and systems designed to protect themselves from accountability. Ethan Cole survives by understanding that structure. He does not seek justice or redemption. He studies how influence flows, where pressure fractures, and what it costs to remain unseen. With no superhuman strength or moral certainty, he relies on restraint, calculated aggression, and violence that is fast, deliberate, and permanent. As criminal networks adapt and institutional forces recalibrate, Ethan is pushed into increasingly visible spaces where anonymity disappears and consequences compound. Survival is no longer about hiding—it is about choosing when, and how, to be seen. BLACK TRACE is a dark, realistic crime thriller about systems that erase responsibility, violence that leaves lasting scars, and a man who becomes dangerous not because he wants control, but because he refuses to disappear. In a world built to correct anomalies, Ethan becomes something the system cannot resolve. A trace it must carry.

What does an internet troll do when the world turns into the most unplayable horror game in history? Astrad, a professional “rat kid,” finds out when the apocalypse cuts his internet connection and forces him out of his room. To his surprise, all those “wasted” hours on monster forums and wikis are now the only guide to not ending up as lunch for an abomination with way too many teeth. Forced out of his cave, Astrad isn’t looking to save humanity—only himself and his dog. However, fate and his own twisted pragmatism push him into leading a group of survivors as dysfunctional as he is. Armed with a pellet rifle, lethal sarcasm, and a journal full of monster weaknesses, he’ll have to navigate an apocalypse where the greatest threat doesn’t always come with claws and fangs—sometimes it hides in human stupidity. To survive, they won’t need a hero. They’ll need a bastard with a plan.

In a world where dreams shape power, those known as Somniarchs manifest reality-warping concepts born from their sleep, visions fueled by desire, fear, and trauma. When a quiet high school student named Rei triggers a catastrophic anomaly without even knowing how, the world takes notice. Branded an unregistered threat, Rei is taken by a secret government division that monitors Somniarch activity. But Rei is different. Unlike others who draw power from dreams, he cannot sleep without reliving a nightmare, one where his sister nearly drowned, his parents died, and a nameless demon first whispered to him. That demon never left. As Rei is pushed toward his limits in a world that classifies people by danger level, he faces a truth far worse than imprisonment: his power does not come from dreams… but from something awake. When survival demands a choice, Rei is offered a pact known as The Covenant, a bond that grants terrifying power at the cost of his mind, his autonomy, and eventually his humanity. Because in this world, dreams don’t save you. They consume you. And some nightmares are never meant to end.

New novel of a mc who has god level powers in a fantasy world

The world didn’t end with a warning. One moment, Liu Chen was living an ordinary life. The next, the Final Era descended without mercy. Monsters emerged, cities collapsed, and every human awakened a single trait to fight for survival. For most people, that trait was a blessing… or a death sentence. For Liu Chen, it was a lottery. While others struggled with basic abilities, Liu Chen awakened the Apocalypse Lottery System, a forbidden system that allows him to draw, stack, and evolve traits that should not exist. Each spin grants him a new power—some hidden, some monstrous, all dangerous. Adaptation. Resistance. Growth without limits. In a world where strength decides everything, Liu Chen advances step by step—calm, calculating, and ruthlessly efficient. He doesn’t chase heroism, nor does he indulge in meaningless cruelty. Survival has rules, and he follows only one: gain enough power to never be at anyone’s mercy again. As factions rise, kings fall, and humanity splits between hunters and prey, Liu Chen’s existence becomes an anomaly the system itself struggles to control. The more he survives, the more the world adapts around him—and the more terrifying he becomes. This is a story of evolution in an apocalyptic world. A story where one man draws fate itself from a spinning wheel. And every draw brings humanity one step closer to extinction… or salvation.

The Night She Didn’t Come Home by Yash Dwivedi Ethan Walker never believed in instincts — until the night Lena Hayes called him at 2:17 AM, her voice trembling, her words unfinished. By morning, she is gone. No signs of forced entry. No goodbye message. No evidence of a struggle. The police assume she left on her own. Her friends think she needed space. Ethan knows something is wrong. Lena wasn’t just the girl he loved in silence — she was the kind of person who photographed forgotten places, chased stories hidden in abandoned buildings, and believed walls could remember the past. And the last place her phone signal appeared was somewhere she should never have been: An abandoned psychiatric hospital outside the city. As Ethan begins retracing her steps, he discovers Lena had been keeping secrets — encrypted emails from someone known only as “M,” photos of strange symbols carved into decaying walls, and a memory card filled with images she never showed anyone. Then comes the most terrifying discovery of all: Some of Lena’s photos were taken from far away… And Ethan is in them. Someone was watching her. And now, someone is watching him. What begins as a desperate search for the girl he loves slowly turns into a psychological maze of lies, buried histories, and a past Lena tried to escape. The deeper Ethan goes, the more he realizes the truth may not bring her back — and may destroy everything he believed about her. Because sometimes the person you love most… has been running from something darker than you can imagine. A haunting blend of slow-burn romance and psychological suspense, The Night She Didn’t Come Home is a story about love, secrets, and the terrifying cost of uncovering the truth.

This is the Quadrant Realm, a world where humans live alongside Mecha humans. Racing is the meaning of life, and the title of racer is the most prestigious honor of all. Racers fight side by side with their Mecha partners, striving toward the pinnacle of the world. For Jawed, once the number one moto rider in the world, being transmigrated into this world should have been a dream come true. Yet, having witnessed the filthy, corrupt sides of the racing industry, in this life he wants nothing more than to live an ordinary life, completely detached from the world of motors. Yet once he leaves the track behind, his life seems to lose all meaning. Everything fades into a dull gray, monotonous and hopeless. Just when it seems he would wither away in those empty days, on one heavy rainy night, he accidentally encounters a beautiful girl huddled in a narrow alleyway. Her eyes vacant, her body frail, her clothes torn and worn. She has no memories, no recollection of who she is. She only remembers that she is a Mecha human, and that deep within her heart burns an overwhelming desire: to lead her rider to become the world champion, and to become the greatest Mecha human of all. That seemingly chance encounter completely changes Jawed’s life. A new journey begins, a journey for a former champion to rediscover the joy of the racetrack, a journey of self-discovery for a Mecha girl, and a road toward conquering the world championship. The champion racer and the No.1 Mecha girl will crush all rivals!
