Jujutsu Kaisen: The Genesis Sign-In

In a world where human misery manifests as bone-chilling nightmares and every ounce of power demands a brutal sacrifice, Kaito Sora is the ultimate anomaly. After a sudden, jarring death, he awakens in the damp alleyways of Tokyo, housed in a new body that commands attention—a sixteen-year-old towering at six-foot-four with piercing storm-grey eyes and a crown of messy blonde hair. He has been thrust into the heart of the Jujutsu Kaisen world, but he hasn't come empty-handed. Bound to his soul is the Akashic Sign-In System, a celestial interface that rewards him with the legendary techniques and abilities of other realities simply for being in the right place at the time of destiny. While the sorcerers of this era bind themselves with restrictive vows and risk their lives for a shred of cursed energy, Kaito begins his journey playing by a different set of rules. From the precognition of Observation Haki to the untraceable speed of the Flash Step, his arsenal grows with every landmark he visits and every tragedy he prevents. However, the true terror of his potential lies behind a massive, rusted golden seal deep within his psyche: Genesis. It is a dormant, absolute power that promises the ability to rewrite the laws of existence and create new techniques from nothingness, free from the recoil and drawbacks that plague even the strongest sorcerers. Spotted by Gojo Satoru and brought into the fold of Jujutsu High, Kaito must navigate the treacherous politics of the sorcery world and the looming shadow of the Shibuya Incident. He starts as a talented rookie with "foreign" tricks, struggling to keep his secrets while forging bonds with classmates who become his anchor in this dark reality. But as he completes the mysterious quests required to shatter the seal of Genesis, the balance of the world begins to tilt. Kaito Sora isn't just here to survive the coming war; he is here to dismantle the cycle of curses and stand as the sovereign architect of a new age, where the "Honored One" is no longer the only one standing at the top.

Regression of the Golden ONE [LITRPG] [Urban Fantasy]

I was victorious. Past tense. Tragic, really. Foes and friends—all dead. Fully traumatized. Still coping with it. The Golden immortal—born from Adam's own spine in Eden—reduced to this. But it wasn't all, this is the end bullshit. The System gave me the polite fiction of a choice: Ascend. Become the lonely god of a fresh, empty universe… Or go back. Rip time open like cheap wrapping paper and try again. I chose to Rip. Obviously. Now it’s 2026 again. The wars haven’t started yet. The betrayals are still just bad dreams. My loved ones still breathe. I should have come back diminished, humbled, a fragile thing waiting to be crushed by the timeline. I didn’t. All the power followed. All the titles. All the blood on my hands. And the world? It’s watching. It’s pissed, but I can make do. There are gods and monsters out there, sure. Hunters in the shadows. A timeline that very much wants to stay on its rails. But honestly? I’m far more interested in seeing just how far I can bend this second chance, save everyone, save the world, and maybe ....just maybe. Save myself in the process. A dark regression progression fantasy featuring a man who’s already won once, an extremely hostile System, consequences that followed him home, and a universe that’s about to learn what happens when the final boss gets a do-over. Upload time: 05:00 pm (UTC+00:00) Sunday And Wednesday. BUT MORE CHAPTERS EVERYDAY ON ROYAL ROAD: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/147859/regression-of-the-golden-one-op-mc-done-rightlitrpg]

Dead Signal: When the City Learned to Bleed

The last thing they teach you in Taekwondo is to stay in control. But what happens when the whole world goes mad? Alex Calderon knows about control. His life is built on it. The clean lines of a perfect stance, the steady breath before a strike, the quiet order of a life spent mastering his own chaos. When his city breaks apart in a wave of mindless violence, that control is all he has left. The things moving in the streets now do not feel pain. They do not get tired. They only hunger. Stuck with his tech smart but panic prone roommate Jonah, Alex has to turn the art he learned for self discipline into a brutal tool for survival. Every alley hides a threat. Every can of food is a treasure. Every other person left alive is a mystery. And the monsters are not just out there. They are changing. Getting smarter. Waiting in the dark. This is not a story about heroes. It is a story about people who are left. It is about the heavy weight of a water bottle, the value of one bullet, and the slow, terrible price of staying human when the world is begging you to become a monster. Dead Signal is a raw, real trip into survival horror where every choice is a gamble and every breath might be your last. It is for fans of the desperate reality of The Last of Us, the tactical fear of DayZ, and the endless dread of Project Zomboid. Step into the collapse. The first scream does not cost a thing. The silence that comes after will cost you everything. From new author FzShun, a fresh voice in end of the world fiction.
