Academy

Arthur Pendelton and Lyra Vance are troubled teens who escape their strict boarding school through a giant wardrobe, only to fall into Eldoria. This is no fairy tale. It is a brutal, racist world where Arthur is immediately attacked by a shadow monster. On the brink of death, a sarcastic LitRPG system awakens in his vision to keep him alive. Saved by a foul-mouthed, drunk weasel named Bramble, they are dragged to Ignis Academy. There, they befriend a cowardly boy named Finn and a cynical elf prince named Kaelen. However, corrupt academy elites betray them, opening the gates for the dark entity Malakor. During the slaughter, Finn dies a brutal death to save Lyra. The tragedy completely shatters Arthur's innocence. His system disables his moral limits, turning him into a cold-blooded predator out for revenge. The group sets out to hunt the Shards of Dawn, ancient crystals meant to summon a savior god. Their bloody journey forces them to fight dwarf cartels, survive mind-bending swamps, and orchestrate political assassinations. But after barely surviving a massive war, they uncover a sickening truth. The savior god is actually a psychopathic tyrant who loves committing mass genocide. Refusing to choose between two evil gods, the group launches a suicide assault on Malakor's fortress. While Kaelen and Bramble hold off millions of shadow troops, Arthur and Lyra climb Mount Zenith. Facing Malakor, Arthur makes an insane choice. He shatters the Shard with his bare hands, absorbs its raw energy, and sacrifices his own sanity to brutally tear the dark god apart from the inside. With Eldoria finally at peace, Arthur and Lyra step back through the portal. They return to Earth at the exact second they left, looking like ordinary students but hiding the dark souls of ruthless predators.

UNBOUND: THE DEVOURING TAMER In a world where power determines status and the Awakened rule over the weak, Ethan Vale has spent seventeen years at the bottom. His only hope is the Awakening Ceremony—a chance to finally escape the life of poverty and humiliation that has defined him. But when his awakening arrives, fate deals him its cruelest hand. F-rank talent: Beast Taming. Mocked as worthless in an era dominated by powerful elementalists, battle-mages, and legendary Awakened, Ethan becomes the academy’s laughingstock. Guilds reject him. Friends abandon him. His dreams of rising above his miserable existence seem dead before they even begin. Then, while scavenging through a forbidden Dead Zone, Ethan discovers a dying wolf with fur as black as ink. With nothing left to lose, he forms a soul-contract with the mysterious beast. And the impossible happens. Unknown beast detected. Hidden Evolution Tree unlocked. Devour & Evolve activated. For the first time, Ethan gains access to an evolution system that defies the natural laws of the world. His beasts can break through their predetermined limits, consume the essence of other creatures, and evolve into forms thought impossible. A weak stray can become a Dire Wolf. A Dire Wolf can become a Shadow Sovereign. And beyond that lies an ancient evolution path erased from history. But power always demands a price. As Ethan gathers rare catalysts, sacrifices powerful monsters, and builds an army of terrifying evolved beasts, his existence draws the attention of ruthless guildmasters, powerful Awakened, and ancient entities lurking beyond the known world. They all want to control him—or destroy him. Ethan only wanted to escape the bottom. But as his beasts continue evolving, will he become the world’s greatest Awakener, or will the power he devours consume him first?

Noah Kane has spent his entire life being told he's worthless. An orphan with no family, no wolf, and no future, he's ridiculed at Blackwood Academy, where the strength of your bloodline determines your worth. Betrayed by the girl he loved and humiliated before the entire school, Noah believes fate has already abandoned him. Then he dies. As his blood soaks an ancient pendant left by his unknown parents, a voice echoes through the darkness. [Compatible Host Confirmed.] [The Last Lycan System Activated.] In an instant, Noah awakens the legendary bloodline believed to have vanished centuries ago—the blood of the Last Lycan King. Now every Alpha Lord, vampire house, hunter guild, and hidden faction wants him dead before he claims the throne that could unite—or destroy—the supernatural world. With every mission completed, the System unlocks new powers, forgotten memories, and terrifying truths about the massacre that wiped out his family. But strength comes with a price, and every evolution pulls him closer to the ruthless monster the world fears he will become. Standing in his way is Lyra Ashbourne, the proud daughter of one of the Twelve Alpha Lords. Raised to believe the Last Lycan is humanity's greatest threat, she's sworn to hunt him down. Yet every encounter shatters what she's been taught, forcing her to question her family, her loyalty, and even her own heart. As enemies become allies, secrets become weapons, and love blossoms in the middle of a war neither of them chose, Noah must decide whether to become the king history demands... or the man Lyra believes still exists beneath the beast. Because the greatest enemy isn't the hunters chasing him. It's the darkness awakening inside him. When the last Lycan rises, the world will either kneel... or burn.

Aleric died once already. Pushed off a rooftop by the same people who made his life a living hell. He thought that was the end. But then he woke up in Jusavia. He was in a new world, in a new infant body and a fresh chance to start all over again. He made himself one promise: never again would he be hopeless and weak. Never at the mercy of people who saw him as nothing. At fifteen, everyone in Jusavia awakens their Class. It's everything. Your power, your future, your entire worth as a person. Fire mages who burn through armies. Healers who pull people back from death itself. Aleric's Awakening Ceremony was supposed to change his life. It did. Just not the way anyone expected. While everyone else got their shiny new Class, fire this, sword that, holy whatever, Aleric got a blank screen and a room full of whispers. Classless. His father looked at him like he'd just dragged garbage into the house. His fiancée laughed in his face and tore up their engagement contract in front of the whole academy. The nobles who used to bow to his family name? They walked past him like he didn't exist. The academy sent a letter the same day. "We regret to inform you that your enrollment has been revoked." And so, they exiled him and shipped him off to the Frontier Training Grounds, a glorified dumping ground for failures and corpses. Aleric figured he'd die in the first dungeon. Just like he died on that rooftop. But this time, he wasn't going down without a fight. Then he killed his first monster, and something changed. Absorption activated: Skill acquired. He had gotten a skill that was going to change his life in ways he couldn't dare to fathom.

# HELLSPAWN HUNTER ## Synopsis **When the gates of Hell crack open over his hometown, seventeen-year-old Kael Draven should have died with everyone else. Instead, he made a deal with a dying demon—and became something the supernatural world has never seen before.** Kael's father was a legendary Hunter who died keeping secrets. His demonic bond makes him an abomination in the eyes of his father's former allies. And Vex'thul, the ancient demon sharing his headspace, won't shut up long enough to let him figure out which side he's supposed to be on. **Vex'thul the Unbound has survived three millennia by being paranoid, ruthless, and absolutely insufferable. Now he's stuck in the body of an idealistic teenager who thinks "heroism" is a viable career path.** Together, they're humanity's most dysfunctional defense against the supernatural apocalypse. Kael wants to save everyone. Vex wants to survive everything. Neither is getting what they want. The Hunter Academy doesn't train half-demons. Vampire covens don't trust monsters with consciences. Exorcist orders shoot first and ask questions later. And somewhere in the shadows, the conspiracy that killed Kael's father is pulling strings that could unravel reality itself. **Armed with unstable demonic powers, a demon who treats life-or-death situations like a running commentary track, and a stubborn refusal to accept that some people can't be saved, Kael is about to learn that the hardest part of hunting monsters isn't the fighting—it's deciding which monsters deserve to live.** In a world where humanity's protectors might be the real villains, Kael Draven will discover that sometimes the only way to save the world is to embrace the darkness within. *Because when Hell comes calling, sometimes you need a monster to answer.*
