Regression: I Claim Everything

“What the hell—?!” Arahan jolted awake. This wasn’t his room. This wasn’t his body. Just hours ago, he had been a 30-year-old professor—one of the youngest lecturers in a prestigious college. An orphan who built everything from nothing. At twenty-five, he had already achieved what many couldn’t in a lifetime. A stable career. Respect. Wealth. A wedding with a beautiful bride from a good family. For once, life had finally begun to smile at him. And then, a drunk rich brat speeding his Thar at 220 km/h from the wrong side of the road. A flash of headlights. A scream of metal. Darkness. Arahan died on the roadside like a stray animal. And the worst part? He knew the culprit would never be punished. Money would bury the case. Power would twist the law. Justice was a luxury for the poor. But what hurt even more was not the injustice. It was a regret. He had lived responsibly. Too responsible. He never dated. Never partied. Never had Sex. Never travelled. Never loved recklessly. Never indulged. He chased stability. He chased respect. He chased a “good future.” And died before he could live. A virgin. A man who never tasted freedom. A man who never claimed what he desired. A man who never enjoyed the forbidden pleasure. But fate was not finished with him. When Arahan opened his eyes again— He was back. This time, he won’t live cautiously. This time, he won’t let power crush him. This time, he won’t die powerless. Wealth. Influence. Pleasure. Revenge. In this life, Arahan will claim everything.

The Dark Vigilante

Jace Carter is a young adult stepping into the unforgiving streets of New York City, a place where shadows hide secrets and the line between law and chaos is blurred. Orphaned and driven by a deep sense of justice, Jace is forced to confront the criminal underworld, a clandestine organization known as the Obsidian Circle, and supernatural forces that manipulate power in ways the city has never seen. Initially relying only on his physical skills and raw determination, Jace becomes the mysterious figure the city whispers about—the Vigilante. Operating from a secretive hideout beneath Manhattan and wearing a simple black leather suit, he begins his journey to protect the city, but it’s not long before he realizes the magnitude of the threat he faces. Alongside him is Marcus, a brilliant yet reserved high school student who secretly aids Jace with intelligence, technology, and tactical support. Their partnership evolves after Marcus is rescued from a dangerous mission, becoming Jace’s trusted right-hand and the brains behind the Vigilante’s upgraded equipment and strategy. Together, they navigate the dangerous intersections of crime, corruption, and supernatural power. As Jace battles the Obsidian Circle and its enigmatic leader, Kane, he uncovers not just the city’s dark underbelly but also his own inner strength, resilience, and morality. Kane’s obsession with amplification nodes—devices that increase energy and strength for his lieutenants—pushes Jace and his team to their limits. Each mission escalates in danger, forcing Jace to grow from a lone fighter into a tactician and symbol of hope. The story culminates in a final, high-stakes showdown at Kane’s headquarters, where Jace, Marcus, and Elena Cruz—an unwavering ally and tactical partner—fight to end the Obsidian Circle’s reign. Through strategy, courage, and unity, the Vigilante dismantles Kane’s power, saves the city, and restores hope to its citizens. In the aftermath, Jace emerges not only as a hero who has defeated a near-supernatural threat but as a symbol of vigilance and justice. The city breathes freely once more, yet the story leaves open the enduring notion that true guardianship requires constant vigilance. Jace Carter has become more than a fighter—he is the embodiment of hope, a shadow watching over Manhattan, ensuring that those who cannot fight still have someone in the shadows protecting them.

Persona Breach

Drowning in brainfog, Seungho bites infected blood to transform into combat Hunter-Idol. Instead of freedom he has traded one cage for a gilded one. Drafted as "Defense Armor," a defensive Idol for the top-notch Duke in South Korea's ruthless Hunter-celebrity industry. Now, he must perform for adoring fans for money, spar against captured horrors for spectacle, and navigate a system that values his brand synergy more than his humanity. Unknowingly, hunters are pawns in a much larger scheme of political conquest at planetary levels. But the real threat looms overhead. The floating Castle, source of the monster-angels, has been silent since its lone human abduction, a ideal symbol of human freedom. The United Earth Coalition is assembling a team to breach the Castle, not for rescue, but to seize its incredible energy source. To analyze but ultimately for more grand plans of conquest in mind. To survive, Seungho must master a power he fears, partner with the nation's most volatile attack-Hunter, and descend into a surreal odyssey where the monsters are not invaders, but messages. The key to saving humanity goes beyond saving. What exactly does the Castle want from humanity...? What are its walls made of? Why do the monster-angels resemble something faintly familiar? After breaching the Castle, what kind of world will Seungho find? Literally on the other side? This is a psychological fantasy that blends litRPG system action with political strategies and social critique, for Seungho to fight against his greatest fear and become the person he wants to be. #Psychological #UrbanFantasy #LitRPG #Progression #System, #MaleLead #Action #CharacterGrowth #WeakToStrong Connect: https://www.reddit.com/r/insidewebnovels/ https://www.reddit.com/user/recurrel/ https://www.tiktok.com/@webnoveling

DC: Reborn Zod, I Will Make Krypton Great Again!

Reborn as General Zod, who was about to be exiled after the failed coup, he was powerless to save Krypton from destruction. In order to change his fate of having his neck broken by Superman, the son of the DC Universe, in the future, Zod plans to find a place with the sun and live there peacefully. However, he didn't expect that the Myriad Worlds Roulette System would be activated at this time. At the beginning, he would obtain the complete inheritance of the Emperor's Scripture of the Holy Emperor of the Sun, and he could also obtain the number of roulette draws by triggering tasks. The first time he drew, he got the sunflower from Plants vs. Zombies. Even without solar radiation, he could still unlock the super talents of Kryptonians. So Zod decisively changed his goal. He planned to arrive on Earth in advance, retrieve the Codex of Life from Superman, use the Creation Chamber technology to mass-produce Kryptonians, and gradually rebuild a new Krypton. As he continued to complete tasks and gain more draws from the Wheel of All Worlds, Zod also gained more treasures and abilities. From the energy crystals that can give life to planets in Armor Hero Xingtian, to the seeds of the Tree of Life in Ultraman Orb, or the dimensional wall that can travel through parallel time and space at will in Kamen Rider Decade... He found the super Kryptonian Hale, defeated Superman, improved and upgraded the Kryptonian genes, and then he had a group of super Kryptonian warriors who had no weaknesses and were powerful enough to rival gods. From then on, the name of New Krypton resounded throughout the multiverse and even in all the heavens and worlds. -------------------------------- 40 advanced chapters are now available on Patreon!
