Awakening

“Don’t complain when the lights go out…” These were the words that came out of his mouth before he calmly exited the office. Josh Summers, a typical nobody, a medical instructor, is pushed aside by his wife, Lauren Forrest, when she sees that she has reached the very pinnacle of her career. She saw him as nothing but ‘Deadweight…’ But then everything turns upside down when, on the very day she had been dreaming of, she sees him standing with the top dogs of the city. Josh Summers wasn't just a nobody; he was the shadow ruler of Veron, the Hidden Ace, and the blade that held the underworld together. He had chosen a quiet life to stay with his wife; for three years, he played instructor at the clinic. But now, he is back, and with his resurfacing, the underworld is shaking— threats are awakening, and new enemies and allies are being born. Will Josh continue to rule over his Empire of Ash and Gold?

The residents of BB City judge Max Bladeheart based on his lack of strength because they use power as their social status marker. The Xeon System governs the abilities of all individuals, but Max’s awakening was deemed "defective," leaving him at the bottom of the social hierarchy. Max activates a concealed Xeon System ability that reveals extraordinary powers when he faces life-threatening situations. The XAO (Xeon Agents Organization) lacks any record of such power which enables him to transcend normal boundaries. Max starts a demanding path of training and combat expertise development to escape his position of average status. The higher Max reaches in his organization he discovers the existence of a secret war which directly connects to the origins of the Xeon System. Since his birth Max faces enemies in every direction and powerful factions attempt to control him while he fights to create his own destiny. His power will he shatter the global power system or will somebody break him because of their fear of his future strength?

In a quiet town, an ordinary high school boy's life is turned upside down when he stumbles upon a mysterious artifact during a chance encounter with a fierce monster. The artifact grants him an extraordinary power: the ability to tame defeated monsters, turning them into loyal allies, and even fuse with them to wield their incredible skills. As the boy learns to harness his newfound abilities, he discovers a growing threat: a dark force awakening an army of corrupted monsters bent on plunging the world into chaos. With the help of his monster companions, he embarks on a dangerous journey to protect those he loves, uncover the truth behind the artifact, and confront the sinister mastermind behind the rising darkness. Along the way, he faces powerful enemies, forms unlikely alliances, and discovers the strength that comes from trusting others. But as the stakes grow higher, he must grapple with the true cost of his powers and the fine line between hero and monster. In this epic battle of courage, friendship, and self-discovery, the fate of the world rests in the hands of one boy who never imagined he could make a difference.

Humanity has reached the stars, forming uneasy alliances with alien races and facing horrors born of war—monsters known only as Abyss Beasts. Peace is a lie maintained by the Human Federation, which treats the powerless as expendable. In this new era, strength is measured by psychic ability or magical talent, and those without it are dismissed as lesser beings. Zed is one such person—a human with no discernible power in a world that thrives on it. At an elite academy meant to forge the galaxy’s future defenders, he is mocked and brutalized for his lack of ability. But Zed refuses to break, masking his pain with sarcasm and quiet endurance. Everything changes when he's inadvertently dragged into a psychic conflict and left for dead. As his life slips away, he is retrieved by a shadowy figure with unknown motives. Awakening in a strange facility, bound and barely alive, Zed becomes the subject of a mysterious experiment. What follows is pain unlike anything he's ever known—and perhaps the beginning of something far greater. In a universe that sees him as nothing, Zed may soon discover he’s meant to be something more.

Fifteen centuries of silence. Kael von Everfrost was meant to rule. On the night of his coronation, as his people celebrated, the empire’s greatest enemy struck. The kingdom burned, its people slaughtered. Kael fled, only to be sealed in ice, trapped in an eternal slumber. 1,500 years later. Magic is gone. The world has evolved through technology, war, and greed. And it’s all Kael’s system’s fault. The Invincible Snow Sovereign System, meant to activate upon his ascension, lay dormant. To awaken, it absorbed the earth’s mana, erasing magic from existence. Deep within an ancient ice cavern, untouched by time, a system notification appears— [Ding!] System awakening complete. Forced revival initiated. The ice shatters. Kael awakens. His empire is gone. His people are forgotten. The throne meant to be his is dust. The world thinks monarchs are dead. The world believes magic is lost. The world assumes it has no master. They are all wrong. With absolute wealth, a system that rewards dominion, and the fury of a prince robbed of his legacy, Kael will rebuild his empire, claim the world, and become invincible. The Everfrost name was erased. He will carve it back in ice and blood.

On the continent of Fosack, the official history claims that magic never existed, relegating it to mere myths and sailors' songs. Progress and stability have been built on the pillars of science, an unquestionable truth taught at the prestigious Rixus Institute. However, Miguel, a young student from Abrak, has never accepted this version. Raised on rumors of a past where portals connected worlds and the sun shone blue, his curiosity leads him to question everything he is taught. His arrival at Rixus coincides with an event that shakes the foundations of his world: an ancient seal is broken in a forbidden ritual, unleashing an energy that causes power outages and strange phenomena across the continent. While the authorities, led by the charismatic Governor Edrian Veyra, blame "solar flares" to hide the truth, Miguel begins to discover the cracks in reality. An ancient mural seems to breathe at his touch, shadows in the hallways conceal watchers, and a secret invitation promises him the answers he so desperately seeks. Unknowingly, Miguel is at the center of the awakening of an ancient power known as the Cycle of Lumia and Noxis. His search for the truth will not only challenge the powerful Dynasty that manipulates history but will also make him the key to a rebirth that will change Fosack forever.

In a realm where gods play dice with mortal souls, a cursed boy refuses his fate. Born with a tempered body blessed by the heavens, Kirin Arcanus should’ve been a legend. Instead, he became an outcast, cursed, shunned, and exiled from the very clan that should’ve raised him as their heir. The demon that killed his parents didn’t vanish... it slumbered inside him, waiting. Powerless. Mocked. Weak. Kirin claws his way through life with nothing but grit, will, and the whisper of an ancient, forbidden path to strength. When he’s finally granted a second chance at cultivation, it comes at a brutal cost, awakening something dark, something hungry. Inside the hallowed walls of the Academy, friends become enemies. Trust is currency. And betrayal? That’s the tuition fee. His closest companion, Seth, hides a twisted purpose. His allies? Torn between love, legacy, and lies. As realms collide, bloodlines unravel, and demonic whispers grow louder, Kayden must choose, become the hero they never saw coming… or embrace the chaos he was born to unleash. He didn’t ask to be a weapon. But he sure as hell is going to use it.

Kim Do-hyun was just another potato in the crowd—an anxious college nobody waiting to fail the Awakening Program. But when the portal swallowed him, his identity shattered, and a new life took root. Now he is Han Tae-yang: a street fighter, failed streamer, and accidental legend who spent a decade trapped in Divine Tower of Gods, the cruelest game ever made. Everyone else quit. He climbed fifty floors alone. And then the game became reality. Relics bleed into the real world. Monsters walk in daylight. Governments scramble, corps rise, guilds rise, and hunters kill for scraps. Yet through chaos, one name spreads like wildfire: Loner. With sarcasm sharper than any blade, a ghost bride as his sister’s familiar, and a system that can copy powers, Tae-yang dismantles the new world one relic at a time. While others beg for safety or riches, he plots in the shadows—because for him, survival isn’t enough. He’ll break the tower. He’ll burn the system. And he’ll drag the gods themselves down with him. Action-packed. Darkly hilarious. Brutally clever. If Solo Leveling married Super Gene and raised a snarky delinquent kid, this is it.
