SCP Foundation: The Sickly Girl Who Controls S-Class Witches

Traveling to a world where ghost stories and abnormal creatures are rampant, Serie not only becomes a beautiful, fragile, and sickly girl like a porcelain doll, but is also taken in by the salvation organization as an S-level abnormal creature and imprisoned in a steel fortress in the deep sea. But Serie didn't care, because she found that as long as she closed her eyes, those witches condensed by fear, desire and power would open their demon eyes on the other side of the world. They were walking taboos and also puppets dancing on Serie's fingertips. Each witch has a completely different form and ability. Complete tasks, light up the skill tree, and continuously upgrade and evolve. Beautiful and powerful S-class witches appeared one after another like mushrooms after rain—— "The Witch of Pleasure plunges New York into a lewd abyss?" "The Dread Devourer ate the Golden Gate Bridge clean?" "The Slaughter Witch rules the battlefield, weaving nightmares for her enemies with threads of blood?" "The ruling witch made the organization's top executives betray her and become her loyal servants?" Alarms on the radio sounded one after another, and the employees were talking about Serie's trumpet, some with fear, some with admiration, and some with vigilance, but they would never know that the culprit of all this was that useless and cute girl who was tied with chains and restraints and did nothing every day except act coquettishly and wait for food. Serie said nothing, just buried her face in the pillow and continued to play the simulation game: "Let's open a new account... I want to try a different evolution path this time."

Villain’s Evolution: Investing in My Minions Yields Crazy Returns!

Victor never expected to wake up inside the world of a story he already knew. Worse, he didn’t transmigrate into the protagonist. He became Victor Alves, the arrogant only son of Duke Alves, a powerful noble heir studying at Starlight Royal Academy and, more importantly, one of the villains destined to become a stepping stone for the original protagonist, Ryan Carter. Victor knows how this story is supposed to end. Ryan will rise. The geniuses surrounding him will become monsters who shake the continent. The Alves family will collapse. And within a year, Victor himself will die. Fortunately, the moment Victor accepts his new reality, he awakens the Investment System. The system allows him to see the hidden potential, needs, talents, and possible futures of those around him. By investing gold, equipment, potions, skills, bloodlines, cultivation resources, and even opportunities into suitable targets, Victor can change their destinies and receive multiplied returns. A struggling swordsman with the potential to become a legendary Sword Saint? Invest. An overlooked servant hiding a terrifying bloodline? Invest. A future powerhouse destined to die before ever realizing her potential? Invest. While the empire’s nobles compete for geniuses who have already proven themselves, Victor quietly gathers those the world has ignored and turns them into monsters. And every time his followers grow stronger, Victor’s rewards become even more absurd. By the time the great families realize that the insignificant people surrounding Victor have become generals, Sword Saints, assassins, and legendary mages, it is already too late. Because Victor was never simply raising subordinates....He was building an empire of his own.

Hidden threats bare their teeth as he realizes he is far from the familiar Shattered Star Ring. For transparency's sake, please know that the upload schedule for this fan fiction is awful.

Chaos Devourer System: My Classless Ascension

Join the Tr33House for character illustration.. https://discord.gg/zrbwXeJVut ——————————- Let’s try reading all the free chapters first before deciding if it’s worth your time or not?.. _________________________ In a time long forgotten, the world of Terra hovered on the edge of annihilation. Demons burst forth from the shadows, unleashing a wave of terror and destruction that ravaged the land. Just when hope seemed to flicker like a dying ember, a new force emerged — **the Awakened**. These extraordinary beings, with powers that defied imagination—telekinesis, flight, and cataclysmic abilities capable of obliterating entire cities—rose to challenge the onslaught. Against insurmountable odds, the Awakened battled valiantly, gradually reclaiming lost territories. Yet, the demons tenaciously clung to their dominion, and the war raged on. In a desperate bid to end the bloodshed, the rulers of the world brokered a fragile truce with the demonic forces, crafting an uneasy semblance of peace. But the scars of conflict ran deep, reshaping the very essence of the planet. Ecosystems trembled and transformed, empires rose from the ashes, and guilds sprouted like wildflowers in a storm. Ancient clans, long thought lost to time, revived and thrived amid the chaos. In this new world, power reigns supreme, the only currency accepted in the brutal economy of survival. In Terra, weakness is a death sentence — to be trodden upon by the strong, where only the mightiest can carve out their destiny. --- **************************** For every 100 golden ticket- +1 bonus chapter(stackable)
