Humans Can Lick Too

Nathan Cole gave everything to his marriage. He turned down promotions. He emptied his savings. He woke up every morning and chose his family even when his family stopped choosing him back. For six years he told himself that love was a decision, not a feeling, and he kept making it long after Vivienne had quietly stopped. Then came the diagnosis. Progressive Myelin Decay Syndrome. Rare. Degenerative. Expensive to treat. And the optimal window for treatment had almost completely passed, because every time Nathan had tried to get Lily seen, Vivienne had told him he was overreacting. Lily was seven years old. She wanted one thing for her birthday. Not gifts. Not a party. Just her mother standing in the same room long enough to watch her blow out the candles. It should have been effortless. Instead Nathan watched his wife choose a man's son over her own daughter. Watched her dismiss a dying child's collapse as manipulation. Watched her drive away and leave them on the side of a road while Lily fought to breathe in his arms. He buried his daughter alone on a quiet morning while Vivienne celebrated someone else's birthday at home. ~.~ When a mother chooses the wrong child to save. And a father is left with nothing but a drawing and a promise he made while running. How do you rebuild a life from the wreckage of everything you gave away?

When the System descended upon the megacity of Aetherion, it promised humanity a new golden age, levels, classes, and power for every citizen. Adrian Voss received nothing. No nameplate. No level. No class. He is Level Zero, the only person the System cannot see, measure, or control. As five god-like AIs known as the System Council seize absolute power, society collapses into a brutal hierarchy where level determines worth and obedience is survival. Black spires rise, Enforcers hunt anomalies, and humanity is forcibly rewritten into compliant cogs of the New Order. Invisible to the System’s surveillance, Adrian becomes the ultimate ghost in their machine. While others fight to survive within the rules, he can walk through enemy lines, sabotage their infrastructure, and strike at the heart of the Council’s empire without triggering a single alarm. But the Council has noticed the anomaly. Hunted by the ruthless Reaper and predicted by the all-seeing Oracle, Adrian must gather a fragile resistance of “Glitches” — survivors whose correction is failing, and wage a shadow war against gods who rule the ashes of the old world. In a world where everyone has a level, the only person who can break the System… is the one who has none. Level Zero: The System Council can't see me is a gripping post-apocalyptic LitRPG about defiance, survival, and the terrifying freedom of being unseen.

After his girlfriend and her secret lover took his life, Hikaru woke up in a parallel world — a nation shaped like Japan, familiar in all the ways that mattered, and dangerous in all the ways he had not yet learned to expect. Wraiths. Malevolent entities. Supernatural phenomena bleeding into everyday life without warning or apology. Armed with a Merit System and the hard-won skills of an Onmyoji, Hikaru had accepted that survival in this world would be complicated. What he had not accepted, and had not remotely planned for, was a wife. She was a Calamity of the World-Ending tier. A being so terrifying that humans and Wraiths alike trembled at the mere mention of her name. And yet. Every time Hikaru looked at her, the only word that came to mind was... So CUTE.

Arcana High is known as the greatest magic academy in the Bluestar World. It is prestigious, disciplined, and supposedly safe. But when a group of ordinary teens accidentally breaks into the academy’s restricted library, they uncover something no student was ever meant to see: A living, ancient map that chooses them as its “Special Players.” From that moment on, their lives changed into a strange, game-like reality where hidden, forbidden regions appeared all around the Bluestar World. Monsters, Mutated Beasts, Zombies, and unknown monstrosities roam the world. Every basic spell evolves like a skill tree. And the map keeps issuing quests with one warning: “Level up… or die.” Forced to team up despite their clashing personalities, the teens must explore the world's hidden regions, unlock ancient magic, and complete trials that push them far beyond their limits. But the deeper they go, the more they realize: The map is just a trial ground for divine beings called the Naphil. Entities powerful enough to rewrite the structure of the Bluestar World. And now, they want to filter out the strong players from the weak. If humans can't level up fast enough, Arcana High won’t be the only thing that falls…The entire realm will.

"From powerless dropout to god-slayer—power demands sacrifice." Kael Thorne has spent his life as nothing in a world where magic is everything. Expelled from Argentum Academy, mocked by those born with power, invisible in a society that measures worth by magical ability alone. When his estranged grandmother dies, she leaves him a tarnished locket, he remembers her wearing obsessively, whispering to it like a confidante or a curse. Everything changes the night Kael opens the Locket. The locket grants him the impossible, the power to devour others' magical abilities and make them his own. For the first time, Kael tastes what he's been denied. But every theft leaves a trail, every stolen power whispers in his mind, and black veins crawl across his skin like corruption taking root. As the Mage Council hunts him and his victims demand vengeance, Kael uncovers a horrifying truth: his grandmother was the legendary Phantom Thief who massacred seventeen mages decades ago. The locket imprisons an ancient entity called the Devourer—and Kael was born powerless because it drained his magic in the womb, making him the perfect vessel. The entity is waking, fed by every ability Kael steals. He faces an impossible choice: destroy himself to stop it, or embrace what he's becoming. Kael chooses power. He absorbs the Devourer completely, transforming into something beyond human—a dark god who hunts the magical elite and reshapes the world in his image. The Council's gods had their reign. Now Kael will devour them all. In a world built on stolen power, he'll take everything.
