Fantasy Stories & Novels

Raeshan was an ordinary college student who wanted nothing more than a quiet life. One day, he woke up inside a rundown shop in Dungeon Town, a place surrounded by dangerous dungeons and desperate adventurers. He had no strength, no magic, and no way to survive in this cruel world. The body he possessed belonged to a failed shop owner buried in debt, with nothing left to sell. Hunger became a daily problem, and tomorrow was never guaranteed. Just when he was about to give up, a system appeared. Not a warrior system. Not a cultivation system. A Manga Store Owner System. In this world, manga is more than entertainment. Those who read it might gain insight, learn skills, or experience sudden breakthroughs. Adventurers who can’t survive the dungeons come searching for answers between pages. While others fight monsters, Raeshan builds his future behind a counter, selling stories that quietly change lives. This is a story about survival, patience, and growth in a dangerous fantasy world, where knowledge can be just as powerful as steel. --- Name: Manga Store Owner System Tag: Action, Adventure, Beautiful Female Character, Store Owner, System, Fantasy, Manga, Slice of life, Magic, Kingdom, Noble, Dragon, Elf, Demon, Rich, Secret Organisation, Adventure Guild, Male lead, Handsome Lead.

The rain had been falling on Moonveil City since dawn, running in silver threads down the tiled roofs, spilling from gutters into the crooked alleys. The sky was low and iron-grey, heavy enough to press against the tower-tops of the Martial Regulation Bureau. Inside the courtyard of the Moonveil District Arms Hall, Kael Ruan stood in silence, a new-issued badge in his hand. He was twenty-four, too young, too brash, they’d said, yet here he was, sworn as the youngest Arms Keeper in the city’s history. His mentor, Master Renji, watched from the covered steps, eyes narrowed as if weighing more than just the rain. [Silent Oath System Activated] Oath Energy: 0/100 Core Blade Slots: Shadowsteel (Locked), Frostvein (Locked), Dawnpiercer (Locked) Techniques: Oath Cut (Locked), Sword Recall (Locked) The voice cold, ringing inside his skull had woken with his oath to defend the district. It spoke without warmth, without mercy. It offered strength in exchange for vows sworn before witnesses. But the warning was clear: break an oath, and the System would take more than power from him.

Kael Draven never asked for a war. He just wanted to survive college, win a few fights, and live a normal life. But normal ended the night his best friend betrayed him. Now, supernatural assassins hunt him. Ancient powers awaken inside him. And everyone wants him dead because of a bloodline he never knew existed. Trapped between warring factions, Kael must master abilities he doesn't understand while uncovering who destroyed his family. Every ally could be a traitor. Every battle could be his last. The hidden warlord pulling the strings wants Kael's power for something far worse than conquest. And Kael's running out of time to stop him. In a world where gods scheme and bloodlines determine fate, one reluctant fighter will either become the weapon everyone fears or die trying to stay human. The war has begun. And Kael Draven is at the center of it all.

Reborn into a noble family, Kael Varyn awakens with the memories of his former life as the Demon King—slain by the legendary hero before he could stop a divine catastrophe. Branded evil by history, Kael now hides his demonic soul while preparing for the disaster that is rapidly approaching. Fate twists cruelly when Kael discovers that his younger brother, Eron Varyn, is the reincarnation of the very hero who killed him. Eron remembers nothing of his past life, but his divine talent awakens faster each day. Forced to become his mentor, Kael walks a deadly line: raising the hero strong enough to challenge the gods while hiding the truth that could get him executed by churches—or slain by his own brother. As a false Demon King rules under divine command and the gods tighten their grip on the world, Kael must decide how far he’s willing to go. To save the world, he may have to become the monster everyone fears once more.

The world didn’t end when the disease arrived. Death did. A mysterious sickness spread like an apocalypse, robbing humanity of its final escape. The infected became half-dead beings, neither alive nor gone,turning cities into graves filled with breathing corpses. Draken lost his family to the disease and was left alone in a broken world. But there was a secret behind death. Those who managed to die were reborn in another realm as the Awakened, warriors chosen to battle terrifying monsters beyond reality. When Draken himself became infected, he expected the same fate as everyone else. Instead, he was dragged into the Void Realm. There, in a land ruled by monsters and endless slaughter, Draken awakened a System, a power that allowed him to grow stronger with every kill. No mercy. No limits. Only survival. As both worlds spiral toward destruction, Draken must fight his way to the top, uncover the truth behind the disease, and decide whether he will become humanity’s salvation… or its final monster. In a world where death no longer exists, strength is the only law.

Mercy is a luxury when currency of survival is lifespan. Crackle . . . hiss . . . boom . . . rain falls on corpses. The storey opens on the mountain of the dead - the last battlefield of the human race. Li Wei, who is a broken man under the curse of accelerated ageing, stands among the ruins of the Ancient God. His shaking hands hold a divine artefact - The Eye of Judgement. His body decays. His breath comes out in broken gasps - huff, cough, splat. And then… betrayal. The only family he's ever had - his sister, Li Xue - looks coldly on as she drives the dagger deeper into his chest. Thud… hiss… crackle… She calls him "nothing but an adopted mistake." A man named Yang Xun, brilliantly like an idol of deceit, thanks him mockingly. That's when Li Wei realises - the world doesn't reward love. It rewards survival. When he dies, something ancient is roused inside The Eye of Judgement. And when he opens his eyes again - it's 2025, the day the god forsaken game, LYTABern, descends upon Earth.

After a devastating alien invasion by the Xollante, the world split in two—North ruled by the vicious mutants, South struggling to survive. Humanity’s only hope lay in a distant planet called Luxus E-75, where exposure to its strange energy awakened superhuman abilities known as Quirks. Leo Rayden was just a boy when he ignored a warning that could’ve saved the world. Now, 78 years later, he wakes from a coma on Luxus E-75, unchanged, unaged, and carrying a guilt that runs deeper than the Earth’s fractured core. The worst part? He has a Quirk… but doesn’t know how to unlock it. The same quirk which saved him 78 years ago. To atone for the past and prepare for the war to come, Leo must enter Earth’s ruthless Quirk Academy, where only the strong survive and the weak are cast aside. Armed with nothing but raw willpower, cryptic flashes of power, and help from his older mysterious telepathic friend Loca from Luxus, Leo sets out to climb the deadly Rank System—a path littered with betrayal, brutal training, and battles against both humans and aliens. But buried within him is a power not seen since the Great Evolution. And if he can unlock it… He might just conquer the system. Or die trying. "He slept through the apocalypse. Now he has to save what’s left of the world." A gritty sci-fi/fantasy epic of survival, guilt, growth, and revenge—with ancient weapons clashing against high-tech war machines, mutant powers, and the rise of an unlikely hero.

On the day the world split apart and the sky burned red, something new filled the air, an energy no one could name, but everyone could feel. It remade humanity overnight. Some people woke up able to shatter stone with their bare hands. Others could summon fire, call down storms, even twist space itself. And then there was Daniel. A mind-user. The weakest class there was. With no flashy powers or lethal attacks. Just an unfailing memory, faster reasoning, and a knack for seeing patterns others ignored. That is, until the mission that should have killed him. Buried in the ruins, he found relics from the old earth, and an idea that refused to leave. If people could draw power from the strange energy in the air… maybe they could connect to it in a deeper way. So he tried. What started as a fragile creation, a “system” that could barely identify objects began to learn. It grew like a child finding its voice. And one day, it woke up. Then it spread. Suddenly, the world began to change. Levels. Quests. Rewards. Power. The rules of reality itself started to look like a game. And everyone wanted to know the secret behind it. But when the game takes on a life of its own… will Daniel still be the one in control?

This is my story. I'm Elvar Sagara. That afternoon, I went to the mall to find a Halloween festival costume. I was just browsing. But I found something… weird. A horned mask and an outfit that looked familiar, like my favorite comic book character, so I bought it. When I got home, I tried it on immediately. The outfit fit me perfectly. The mask… was creepy. But cool. I stood in front of the mirror, and for some reason, I started acting. I folded my arms across my chest. My body stood tall. In a loud voice, I shouted: “Hahaha! I am the true Demon King! I will lead you all! HAHAHA!” My laughter grew louder. Ridiculous? Yeah. But I was totally getting into the role. Then… I blinked. The moment my eyelids opened, I was in a vast hall. Surrounded by terrifying creatures. Demons. They were all bowing to me. My laughter still hadn't stopped. But my heart nearly stopped. Strangely, I kept acting. I knew… if I stopped, if I took off this mask and admitted I was just a regular human I’d probably be killed on the spot. So… What am I supposed to do now?

Twenty years ago, nine heroes across the world fought the Monarch of Oblivion, a Godlike being who sought to erase humanity. Among them were Korea’s Han Seojin and Lee Mirae, one of the strongest of their generation. The Monarch fell, but his final words promised doom: “When the Monarch of Calamity returns, he will awaken the others. When peace blinds you… they will remind you of fear.” To the world, the heroes claimed victory and founded the World Hero School Competition, a global system said to train future defenders.
