supernatural

the cynic and the crimson king

our dear , King Ignis, the Dragon King, has grown weary of the political drama in the supernatural realm. On a whim, he decides to "slum it" among the humans, where society has recently been shaken by the emergence of Shifters—humans born with animal traits like cat ears, fox tails, or wolf fangs, and the ability to partially or fully transform. Ignis finds himself drawn to a small, unremarkable university student named Kaelan. Kaelan is painfully quiet, utterly unflappable, and possesses a fascinating, almost aggressive cynicism. Despite the undeniable evidence of Shifters walking the campus, Kaelan refuses to believe in anything magical, supernatural, or even slightly extraordinary. He views the Shifter phenomenon as an elaborate, frankly gross, mass delusion, responding to any mention of it with a derisive snort and an epic eye-roll. However, this calm exterior hides an easy irritation, a surprisingly short temper, and a fierce, almost foolhardy fearlessness. Ignis, amused by Kaelan’s aggressive unbelief and finding his flustered moments utterly captivating, decides he must have the human. But how does the King of Dragons prove the existence of magic to a human who thinks animal ears are just bad fashion choices, all while keeping his own colossal secret? Kaelan's refusal to believe in anything supernatural, including the six-foot-seven, unnervingly handsome, and impeccably dressed man now suddenly following him around, is proving to be Ignis's most entertaining challenge yet.

Crimson Sovereign: Reborn as the Villain

**What happens when you're reincarnated into your own novel... as the villain destined to die?** After writing a popular fantasy web novel, an author suddenly finds himself reborn as **Anthonio Crimsonhart** – the arrogant, talentless noble he created to be killed off by the protagonist in chapter 35. Worse yet, he awakens at age 16, right after the humiliating Awakening Ceremony that branded him as having "Broken Veins (Rank F)" – essentially worthless in a world where power is everything. Exiled by his prestigious family to a remote mountain pavilion and stripped of his funds, Anthonio seems destined for obscurity and eventual death. But he possesses one overwhelming advantage: **he knows everything**. Every hidden treasure, every secret technique, every character's weakness, and most importantly – the location of artifacts that can awaken powers beyond imagination. In his own novel, Anthonio had created the **Primordial Red Lightning** – an EX-Rank power surpassing even the protagonist's three SSS-Rank Divine Essences. He had written it as a weapon for a final boss that would never appear. Now, with two years before the original story begins, he will claim that power for himself. But Anthonio doesn't just want to survive. He wants to **dominate**. Armed with knowledge of future events and accompanied by Selene – his mysteriously loyal servant who hides her true strength as a Transcendence 5-Star cultivator – Anthonio embarks on a ruthless path to power. He will steal every opportunity meant for the protagonist. He will claim every legendary artifact before anyone knows they exist. He will seduce all ten heroines destined to fall for the hero. **Kael Stormborn** – the arrogant genius protagonist with three SSS-Rank abilities (Blade of the Void, Eye of Destiny, Dragon Heart) – is the son of a duke and a prostitute. In the original story, he kills Anthonio for insulting his mother. But now, Anthonio knows every step of Kael's journey, every moment of his growth, every secret of his power. The game has changed. The author has become the character. And this villain has no intention of following the script. Through two years of brutal training, secret cultivation, and strategic maneuvering, Anthonio transforms from a worthless F-Rank embarrassment into a Sovereign 7-Star monster – a level that should be impossible for his age. When he finally enters the Royal Aethermoor Academy alongside the protagonist, he won't be the arrogant fool who dies in chapter 35. He'll be the nightmare that Kael Stormborn never saw coming. --- ## Key Elements **Genre:** Dark Fantasy, Isekai, Academy, Cultivation, Harem **Themes:** - Villain Protagonist - Reincarnation into Own Novel - Stealing the Protagonist's Opportunities - From Trash to Overpowered - Strategic Manipulation - Reverse Harem Conquest - Hidden Power Growth **Power System:** Essence Veins (F to EX Rank) and Cultivation Stages (Awakening → Consolidation → Manifestation → Transcendence → Sovereign → Emperor → God) **Main Character:** Anthonio Crimsonhart - Cold, calculating, and ruthless. Uses his meta-knowledge to become the ultimate predator in his own created world. **The Ultimate Question:** When the creator becomes the villain of his own story, can the hero he designed still defeat him? Or will Anthonio rewrite the ending entirely?

Wish :Make Me A Star (MMAS)

SYNOPSIS After getting fired from her dead-end job, Mira Kale, a twenty-two-year-old orphan, stumbles into a mysterious boutique called "Wish." The store feels strange, almost alive. And when she buys the only thing she can afford — an old, vintage bag — she has no idea her life is about to end… and begin again. Moments after leaving the shop and getting into her apartment, Mira is killed by the very bag she bought. But instead of dying, she awakens to a voice — a bubbly, thousand-year-old system named Vira — who tells her she's been chosen for a cosmic mission. Her task? To travel through ten different worlds, taking the place of souls who died unjustly, righting their wrongs, and taking revenge on their enemies. Each completed world earns her one billion star points — and when she reaches ten billion, she'll finally have the chance to revive her parents and live the life she's always dreamed of. But failure means something far worse than death. From a pharmaceutical and perfume heiress in one world to a battle-hardened doctor in another, Mira will live countless lives — fighting rival systems, outsmarting villains, uncovering supernatural secrets, and slowly becoming someone far greater than she ever imagined. With a baby-faced system that's as mischievous as it is loyal, and a fate that demands both heart and strength, Mira's journey will test everything she believes about love, justice, and what it truly means to live again. Will she survive all ten worlds and rewrite her destiny… or vanish, forgotten, between realities?

Level 1 to Infinity: My Bloodline Is the Ultimate Cheat!

They shattered his life. Now, he’ll break the world. Ethan had it all, until his best friend and the woman he loved betrayed him, leaving him crippled and forgotten. Three years of suffering later, he clawed his way to one final, desperate act… and the universe answered. A hidden quest. A second chance. A return to the moment everything began. Now, Ethan is back, on the eve of Ethereal’s launch, the world’s first fully immersive VR game and the battlefield where legends are forged. Last time, he played fair. This time? He’s armed with years of knowledge: every exploit, every secret quest, every broken mechanic that will let him climb straight to the top. But when he logs in, something is off. The system forces him into an unwanted class—Druid, the game’s biggest joke. The kind of class people pick as a dare and regret immediately. Yet as Ethan digs deeper, the truth shakes him. [Congratulations! You have unlocked the Divine Bloodline: King of Elves!] Ethan stared at the screen, unblinking. “…The hell?” The Druid class was a jack-of-all-trades, master of none—a scattered mess of abilities that mimicked other classes but never truly excelled. Their bear form lacked the raw defense of a proper tank. Their panther form was weaker than a rogue. Their healing fell short of a priest, and their magic couldn’t compare to a mage’s devastating spells. Most players abandoned the class early, realizing they could never compete at the highest level. And yet, Ethan’s stats are off the charts. His talents are absurd. His potential is beyond anything he’s ever seen. The system has given him something no other Druid ever had—a divine bloodline, legendary abilities, and a growth rate that defies logic. If Druids were meant to be weak, then Ethan was the exception that would rewrite history. He’s not just here to reclaim his throne. He’s here to take everything. Factions will rise. Empires will fall. The strongest will thrive, and the weak will perish. And the ones who betrayed him? They won’t live to do it again.

I am now the Leader of a Vampire-Zombie Country!

A Filipino high student from Leyte, named Basilio Valencia died in a landslide but was reincarnated into another world, which is a partial modern and fantasy world with some modern technology. But thanks to an ability called Tech, he still has his phone, journal, and laptop, as well as some pens and journaling equipment. Thus, he can still listen to his favorite songs and watch his favorite shows, anime, and movies from his previous life through his gadgets. Seeing his creature comforts being reincarnated with him, Basilio thought that he would recontinue his partially changed way of life, but his luck ran out when he almost died in a hostile army known as the Vamzom (Vampire-Zombie) Army. That army, which a Demon Sorcerer cursed and transformed to be blood-thirsty creatures that are more like a hybrid of both vampires and zombies, was killing humans and other races that had blood with combat helicopters, pistols, and swords for their blood. But then, the army regained their humanity partially when they realized what they had done to him and the other humans and races. So, they regretted their actions and worked hard to save him. But, while Basilio was in a coma, their leader, Ruslan Makesa, driven by guilt, took his own life by stabbing himself with his Blood Sword, before placing his powers as a Vamzom in a box; he intended to pass that and his leadership to the Basilio once he survive and wake up from his coma. And so, after Basilio had survived and woken up from his 2-month-long coma, the army apologized to Basilio and asked him to lead them, promising to be good to all races.

GAMMA THRESHOLD

In a world divided by an uneasy ceasefire, two neighboring cities stand on opposite sides of evolution. One city, Arcadia, is home to citizens born with abilities that defy the laws of physics—telekinesis, spatial distortion, mind influence—powers that have shifted the balance of global conflict and pushed humanity to the brink of war. The other city lives in fear, restrained by technology, diplomacy, and the knowledge that they are already falling behind. Ren Takahashi, a quiet, analytical high-school senior from a poor family, dreams not of power but of resolution. He believes war can be ended through engineering—through a weapon or system precise enough to stop conflict without destroying the world. His life revolves around school, responsibility, and the pressure of a future he feels unprepared for. Everything changes when Ren, along with two classmates— Aiko Nakamura, perceptive and emotionally attuned, and Kaito Moriyama, impulsive and fiercely protective— are drawn into the hidden laboratory beneath their academy. Their biology teacher, Mr. Sashimoto, reveals himself as a rogue scientist obsessed with human evolution. Through a controlled—but flawed—experiment involving gamma radiation, the three students cross a critical biological limit known as the Gamma Threshold: the point at which the human body stops rejecting change and begins adapting to it. They do not gain powers instantly. Instead, they gain residuals—heightened perception, unnatural clarity, unstable abilities that manifest differently in each of them. As their bodies and minds evolve, so does the danger around them. When Arcadia detects their emergence, the conflict escalates. New, untrained individuals begin awakening across the city. Public incidents are narrowly contained. Secrecy becomes fragile. Morality blurs as Ren is forced into leadership—not because he seeks it, but because he understands the cost of failure. As Arcadia’s agents move in the shadows and governments circle from above, Ren must confront an impossible question: Can humanity evolve without losing itself? Gamma Threshold is a slow-burn action sci-fi manga about evolution, responsibility, and the terrifying truth that the greatest weapon is not power—but control.
