The S-Rank's Son has a Secret System

Monsters and mysterious portals called Gates keep appearing in New York City. and Hunters are treated like heroes for fighting them. Michael's legendary father is now a broken man who forbids him from using his powers. His mother vanished in a Gate disaster years ago. When Michael breaks that rule to save a child, he almost dies, and instead of death, he awakens something far more dangerous than a normal Hunter’s System. This isn’t a basic RPG template. It’s a forbidden inheritance, a glitch in his Arcana bloodline that makes him a Void Reaper – a class that bends the very laws of power. Instead of leveling up through training towers, his strength comes from a terrifying skill: [Soul Devour]. To grow stronger, he must consume the very souls of the monsters he kills—absorbing their power and broken memories at the cost of his own humanity. Each level increases his [Soul Corruption], flooding his mind with the whispers of everything he has devoured. His path leads to unlocking a sealed skill tree: [Revenant Calling]— a dark art that lets him drag the echoes of powerful monsters back from the abyss to fight at his side. His greatest summon is Umbraxis, a glitching shadow-dragon forged from the soul of a Gate Guardian, its roar like static and its flames are pure void energy. Now Michael is hunted by a black-ops DGC unit known as "The Ghosts,"the unit brands him "Anomaly Echo-01", part of the same conspiracy (Project Chimera) that destroyed his family. To survive,To Revenge. He teams up with three outcasts: Jinx – a pink-haired street rat with razor-sharp instincts, raised in the alleys of New York and willing to do anything to stay alive. Chloe – a cold, calculating strategist who treats Michael like a weapon, yet hides fierce loyalty and protective care. Jax –a demolitions 'artist' who communicates primarily through C-4 and swears Michael's void powers would be perfect for "teleporting grenades directly into a monster's stomach." Together, they’ll dive into the heart of New York’s Gates to uncover the truth about his mother. But every soul he devours makes the monster inside him strongr. and when your greatest weapon is a dragon born of your own sins, how long before you stop being human? --- Schedule: 2+ chapters daily (14+ per week) — 1,200–1,750 words each.

Demon Anomaly System

Blurb: He was once mindless trash. Vermin. An Imp. No name, no purpose. No future. He was supposed to die in the Maw like the rest. Mindless, crawling meat for something stronger to chew on. But something broke. A spark buried itself inside him... something ancient, older than Hell itself. Now he can see. He can think. He can Evolve. Hell doesn't know it yet, but the bottom just stood up. And he's hungry. Synopsis: The lowest demon in Hell. An imp without thought, spawned from filth, born for slaughter. Then he devoured a glitched system shard, something that shouldn’t exist in Hell. It gave him thought. It gave him power. It gave him the chance to evolve. Crawling through a realm of endless death and rot, he forced open a path to Earth. But in the year 2125, Earth isn’t what it once was. A hundred years ago, the Convergence shattered reality. Dimensions merged and the Dungeons fell. Civilization ended. Now, after a century of struggle, the Five Kings rule what's left, each carving out their own empires with overwhelming power. Like the Beast Taming King, who controls what was once Africa. His lands teem with monsters. Users flock to farm his dungeons, capturing beasts, gather rare materials...if they can survive, and don't forget to pay tribute. Or the Undead King, who holds what was once Europe and Russia in an iron grip. Endless legions of the dead serve him, his people loyal and fanatical. Behind an iron mask, he enforces absolute authority. A tyrant, loved by his people, living or dead. Everywhere, system users chase their own power. Shards grant anything from petty stats to world-shaking destinies. Everyone sees themselves as the hero, the protagonist of their own story. All of this is maintained and guided through the Network, a system-spanning infrastructure no human can escape. It ranks, registers, and controls. But not everywhere. Beyond the king's territories lie the Freelands, lawless zones they can’t or won’t hold. Here, gangs and corporations carve up ground while dimensional rifts swallow entire city blocks, wild dungeons drop without warning, and violence is the only law. He shouldn’t even exist in the Network. He’s not human. But his shard is corrupted...tainted. He slips through its firewalls, unregistered, unranked and free. Consuming the life and identity of Wohan Seo-jin, a system user and gang boss on the drowned coast of what was once Korea, he takes everything: his face, his memories, his men. Now he owns a foothold in the human world. And he plans to keep it. Survival isn’t enough. There is too much to want, too much to take for his own. System users, demons, dimensional races, even gods, he’ll push past every limit, evolve beyond every threat, and claim everything he desires...no matter the cost. #Litrpg #DarkFantasy #Grimdark #ProgressionFantasy #Post-apocalyptic

I'm Alone In This Apocalypse Vault With 14 Girls?

[Note: This novel is currently under revision. Current completed: Chapter 5.7] In the year 2157, Earth exists as a nightmare landscape, forever scarred by the catastrophic Sunflare Scorch of 2057. This devastating solar event unleashed three waves of destruction that obliterated civilization: first, electromagnetic pulses that fried all technology; second, intense radiation that triggered horrific mutations; and third, the complete collapse of the ozone layer, which rendered the surface nearly uninhabitable. The planet's temperature rose dramatically, weather patterns turned violent and unpredictable, and ecosystems collapsed across the globe. From this crucible of devastation emerged monstrous threats that now dominate the Earth's surface. The Crawlers—horrifically mutated humans transformed by the Crawler Plague—stalk the ruins of once-great cities. What makes them particularly terrifying is their retention of human intelligence during the early stages of transformation; they represent an ever-present danger to anyone who dares venture above ground. These monsters combine traits from multiple creatures in twisted configurations. They range from human-sized to massive Leviathan-class entities and can work together with frightening intelligence to systematically destroy any vessel or settlement they encounter. Humanity's survivors cling to existence in underground vaults scattered across the planet. The most advanced is Cryo Vault Terminus—a massive subterranean complex built into bedrock with multiple levels of interconnected sectors. These facilities represent humanity's last bastion against the hostile world above, with advanced life-support systems, geothermal power, and cryopreservation technology. In this desperate landscape, where 90.4% of humanity has been lost and the surface world has transformed into an alien ecosystem, one boy awakens alone in Cryo Vault Terminus. He has been granted access to the Phoenix Core—an advanced, quantum-based AI system created by pre-collapse scientists as humanity's last hope. He represents the culmination of Project Phoenix—a desperate plan to preserve human genetic diversity and ensure the species' survival. With the power of the Phoenix Core at his command, he alone holds the potential to revive the cryopreserved remnants of humanity and begin the monumental task of rebuilding civilization in a world that wants nothing more than to finish what the Sunflare started. --- A/N: This isn’t a smut-fest or a porn novel, it’s ecchi anime–inspired, relationship-driven survival. The MC starts weak and gets hammered by the world, his growth is earned through trials, mistakes, and hard choices. The story uses a dating-sim style affinity system: relationships must be built and earned before any R-18 scenes unlock. In short: bonds and survival come first; the ecchi moments are consequences of trust, not cheap fanservice.

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.
