“How pitiful. One woman destroyed you. But why settle for one… when you can have them all?” Johnny Steele gave five years of his heart to the only woman he ever loved—only to find her moaning in the arms of his boss on Valentine’s Day. Shattered and left to die beneath a speeding truck, Johnny should have faded into darkness. Instead, a voice awakened inside him: > [Congratulations! You have obtained: Ultimate Harem System] Now reborn with a system that grants him power, charm, and women beyond imagination, Johnny has a second chance. But with every gift comes a price, and the line between desire and destruction grows thin. Bear witness to the rise of Johnny Steele — the man who will conquer the world with the Ultimate Harem System.

They went to war as soldiers. They came back as brothers. But when the system they fought for betrays them, loyalty becomes their last weapon. Echo Unit was built from broken men — a reluctant captain, a rebellious sergeant, a quiet strategist, a wisecracking soul, and a young recruit with everything to prove. Together, they form one of the most lethal special operations teams in modern warfare. Deployed into a war that no longer makes sense, Echo Unit faces the brutality of combat and the corruption festering inside their own command. When a mission turns into a massacre and the truth is buried, they are marked as traitors and forced to survive behind enemy lines — abandoned, disavowed, and hunted. But in the smoke and blood of a collapsing system, brotherhood becomes their only compass. Each man must face his own demons — guilt, fear, betrayal — while holding the line for the only thing that still feels pure: each other. Years later, when the truth threatens to resurface, the surviving brothers reunite for one last mission — not for orders, not for glory, but for honor. From the trenches of betrayal to the ashes of redemption, Iron Bonds is a powerful tale of courage, sacrifice, and the unbreakable strength of men who refused to die forgotten. It’s not just a war story. It’s a story about what survives after the war.

The enhancement serum was meant to create superhumans—faster, smarter, stronger. Instead, it wiped out most of civilization and turned the rest into Hollowed: vicious, mutated monsters. Elias Mercer should’ve been dead. Instead, he became something new—immune, stronger than a Hollowed, and guided by a mysterious (possibly digital) voice in his head. He’s the first successful mutation—and now, everyone wants him. Hunted by Viratech, the shady corporation that created the virus, Black Sun, a ruthless cult with dark motives, and other mutated survivors who’ve lost their humanity, Elias is stuck in a crumbling world ruled by chaos. His body keeps changing, the System in his head grants strange abilities with dangerous side effects, and his forgotten past might hold the key to everything. To survive, Elias must uncover the truth behind the virus, his own identity, and whether saving the world means losing what’s left of himself. Monsters. Mutations. Mystery. And a war on the horizon.

Finn Sorren was supposed to be the weakest mage alive. Two units of energy. No abilities. No future. The world called him talentless, useless, worthless... However, all that would change when an ancient relic fuses to Finn’s body. Follow Finn, the weakest mage alive as he ascends and becomes the most feared being in the multiverse.

In a world where the dead refuse to rest, the living fear what lurks beyond the veil. For centuries, humanity believed all spirits(ghosts) were vengeful, mindless entities seeking destruction. But the truth is far more terrifying—some spirits exist to devour, corrupt, and break the boundaries between life and death. Others, bound by fate, offer unimaginable power to those they deem worthy. Arman never wanted to be a hero. Struggling with social anxiety, he preferred to keep his head down, avoid trouble, and live a life that meant nothing to anyone but himself. But everything changed the day he became bound to a force beyond comprehension. Now, with an ancient spirit entwined with his very soul, he’s dragged into a hidden war waged in the shadows—a battle between those who harness the power of the dead and those who twist it into something monstrous. As ancient forces awaken and the boundaries between the worlds fracture, Arman faces an impossible truth: the power within him is both a gift and a curse, one that could consume him if he fails to control it. With enemies lurking in every shadow and unseen forces pulling the strings, he must uncover the origins of his power, the forgotten secrets of the past, and the role he is destined to play in a war that has raged for centuries. Because if he fails—if he breaks—this war won’t just claim his soul. It will unravel reality itself. A journey of power, fate, and the unseen begins… but can a boy who fears even simple conversations truly rise to become the strongest Spiritbound?

In a world where extraordinary abilities—known only as Gifts—exist beyond scientific explanation, those who possess them are called the Gifteds. But human greed knows no bounds. Scientists began experimenting on Gifteds, amplifying their powers and even creating abilities in those born without them, resulting in monstrous creations known as the Abominables. The last group to receive powers artificially, without natural or scientific origin, became the Cursed. Neil knows the pain of being Cursed firsthand. Traumatized by the consequences of his own abilities, he struggles with their destructive potential. Yet, after facing countless trials and deadly encounters, he learns to accept his curse as a gift. Alongside his trusted comrades—each Cursed or Abominable—Neil fights for supremacy, recognition, and a chance at belonging. But the truth behind their world is far greater than they ever imagined, and the path ahead is treacherous. Their journey will test them in ways they could never foresee—and survival is far from guaranteed.

This is a world where the dead conquer the living, where the gods have forsaken humanity, condemning it to its own demise by turning the world into a kingdom-building progression game. Yun Kai, a prince blind from birth is constantly being bullied by his royal siblings and even fellow noble heirs. During a faithful encounter in the mountains, he accidentally shattered a glass ball that changed everything. The glass ball was a mystical artifact sealed by the First World King. This triggered a world-changing event: the entire Desolate Martial World transforms into a game-like system centered on warfare and kingdom building, forcing all the living beings into an era of endless conquest. Fortunately, he acquired rewards that included a God-Level Village Building Token, a Unique Architectural Blueprint, and some additional techniques. Within those rewards is the mysterious Spiritual Ocean Sutra, a cultivation technique that strengthens the practitioner's soul consciousness, spiritual sense, and allows him to devour souls. Still, at a high cost, which is that he will lose a bit of humanity every time he does so, and by the end of the day, nobody could have guessed whether he would be the hero that saves the world, or the demon that destroys it. Relying on his improved instincts as he finally began to cultivate, he realizes a huge conspiracy is underfoot within the Desolate Martial World. In order to solve the mysteries around him, he must rely on his ability and the powerful but baffling Spiritual Ocean Sutra. Countless enemies obstruct him as he attempts to climb to the peak of the cultivation world by creating the most powerful Dynasty. Fate destined him to be nothing but a chess piece, but he would not bow to destiny, or to the will of the heavens.
