Cultivation

In a world where Hunters risk their lives clearing dimensional Rifts for profit and survival, Arthur Pendelton is universally mocked as the bottom of the barrel—the "Weakest Hunter." When a routine D-Rank exploration goes horribly wrong, Arthur and a small vanguard find themselves trapped within the Cartenon Temple, a hidden Double Dungeon overseen by a colossal, murderous stone titan. Bound by ancient, unyielding rules inscribed on a runic tablet, the party is systematically torn to pieces as traditional combat proves utterly useless. With elite combatants losing their limbs and their minds to the horrific trials, salvation falls on the unlikely shoulders of Arthur. Armed with nothing but a brilliant analytical mind and a hyper-alert survival instinct, he must decode the dungeon's mathematical traps before the remaining survivors are wiped out. But as the trials demand bloodier sacrifices, Arthur realizes that surviving the temple is only the first step in a system designed to completely rebuild him from the ground up.

Jack Snyder suffered a huge car accident. Time went by, and he heard a girl’s voice calling Nozomu Shinchaku. Jack slowly opened his eyes and an unknown girl was crying in front of him, but everything about her was wrong. Long blue hair, yellow eyes, cat ears instead of normal Human ears. Jack glanced at her hand and saw sharp and long fingernails caressing his face. A fluffy blue tail was trembling behind her, signalling her worries. Jack saw a pool of blood on the ground near a rock, and he had a big bandage on his head. Strangely, his soul travelled to a young boy’s body, that judging by the pool of blood, died because of that rock. Now, he has to learn how to live in a strange Magical World as the Human teenager Nozomu Shinchaku that strangely can’t use Magic, and Magic has no effect on him. “Definition of sidekick: - A sidekick is someone who goes with the main lead on their adventures. If he is a superhero, the sidekick helps fight crime. Sometimes this word signifies an imbalance of power, and it implies that the sidekick is less powerful than the main lead. - Sidekick is one of the most effective forms of attack in a street fight. Hard kicks especially to the knee can take a larger opponent down or at least blow out his balance, leaving him vulnerable to follow-up shots.” *I intend on keeping this story free till it's finished.* *cover by Aisling Elizabeth Robinson and me*

[The System must never fall in the hands of the Garracks] This was the final message left behind by Rael’s mother, one of the head researchers of Project System, humanity’s sole hope for survival in the Interstellar Era. The System, an item possessing mysterious properties, the fruit of humanity’s century's worth of labour was now left in his hands. And he…had to protect it. After all, the day it falls into the hands of the world-devouring race of Garracks was when humanity was doomed for extinction.

In a galaxy governed by the Universal Ranking System, power is quantified, and destiny is dictated by an omnipotent algorithm. Every being, from the lowliest drone to the most elite warrior, is assigned a rank that determines their worth, access, and fate. For centuries, the system has maintained order but now, it’s breaking down. Kael Arvid, a disgraced pilot turned rogue hacker, lives in the shadow of his former rank. Once a rising star in the Interstellar Fleet, Kael was stripped of his status after a catastrophic mission that left him questioning the system’s integrity. When he stumbles upon a hidden code buried deep within the algorithm a code that could dismantle the entire hierarchy—he becomes the most wanted man in the galaxy. Pursued by the ruthless Ascendancy Corps, Kael must forge uneasy alliances with outcasts, rebels, and rogue AIs who have their own reasons for wanting the system destroyed. But as Kael delves deeper into the code, he uncovers a chilling truth: the system isn’t just ranking lives it’s controlling them. And it has a plan for Kael that could either save the galaxy or doom it forever. As the ranking system spirals into chaos, Kael must decide whether to destroy the algorithm, seize control of it, or transcend it entirely. In a universe where every choice is quantified, Kael’s defiance could spark a revolution—or ignite a war that will consume the stars.

Aiden Draven was executed for a crime he didn't commit, kneeling before a crowd that once called him neighbor, watching the executioner's axe fall under the seal of gods who never once looked down to check if the charge was true. He should have died there. Instead, an ancient System older than the Concord itself tore open inside his soul at the moment of his death and bound itself to him with a single command: become strong enough to rewrite your fate. He wakes in a body the temple registry already marked deceased, with power the gods never intended a mortal to hold. No name, no status, no sect behind him, just a System that hands him missions, a body that shouldn't be breathing, and a slow, growing certainty that his execution wasn't a mistake. It was a cover-up. To survive, the man who was supposed to be nothing more than a closed case must learn to move unseen through a world where every temple, every enforcer, and every informant answers to the gods he's beginning to suspect framed him. But power like this doesn't stay hidden for long. When the Concord's local enforcer, Inquisitor Halden, is sent to quietly finish what the execution started, Aiden realizes the gods haven't forgotten him. They're starting to be afraid of him.

The phantom heartbeat in Xavier Ford’s chest is not his own, and it is slowing down. Every agonizing pulse carries the distant, dying roar of the dragon he was forced to rip from his soul during the Cleave War, a catastrophic betrayal that fractured the continent of Eldoria and left Xavier a mutated exile. Half-human, half-dragon, and entirely hunted, he is the last of the Dragonbound, living on borrowed time as his soul slowly unravels from the severed ancient pact. The Immortal Empire and the Shadow Dominion have ground the world to ash in an endless war, both desperate to hunt Xavier down to weaponize his forbidden bloodline. When a pragmatic spy from the Dominion offers him a path to stabilization through a hidden artifact known as the Silent Blade, Xavier is dragged out of the shadows and forced into a lethal game of shifting alliances. But the blade is not a salvation. It is a cosmic executioner that requires sacrificing the entire future of either humanity or dragonkind to stop the impending world-ending darkness.
