Monster Rule 34

In the darkest corners of Marseille, where hope sinks faster than a rusted anchor, an overdose should have been the end for Jean Valéry. But for this broken Navy veteran, death was only a doorway. He awoke with another soul burning within him—that of the Black Sea Alchemist, the failed guardian of Atlantis, whispering of ancient magic and the vengeance of the deep. Every corner of the Old Port is now his laboratory, every drop of polluted saltwater an ingredient for deadly potions and poisons. Fractured memories guide him, while a raw and dangerous alchemical power demands release. But Marseille is not only a haven for crime bosses. Deep within its murky waters, an ancient power has awakened, demanding accountability for the failures of his past reincarnations. To save the city, he must first seize it from the grip of the underworld. To atone for the sins of the past, he must become a monster in the present. This is not a story about the rise of a hero. This is a story of transmutation—how a broken man is melted down in the crucible of magic, malice, and destiny. The question isn't whether he will survive, but what he will become afterward: an unbeatable crime king, or a protector damned by the sea?

“Look at him. Completely useless.” Whispers spread like poison as students mocked Asta. He stood alone before the crystal ball,his palms open, waiting for his family’s legendary flame. Nothing came. “No spark. Not even rookie fire. What a joke.” Laughter rang out. “I heard he killed his mother, like, he literally ate his way out from his mothers womb like a monster!” Asta trembled. “It’s not true… I saw the man in the black cloak…” The Empress rose,her eyes cold. “You worm. No flame. No worth. Get out of my sight you disgust me.” Asta walked away through jeers, to the labor pits. An old worker whispered. “They’re blind. I see the Legendary Dragon Flame in you...sleeping deep.” Asta stared at his palm. A dark smile grew. If the old man was right… he wasn’t weak. He was the strongest. When the Dragon Flame wakes, those who laughed will kneel in ashes. Did he awaken it? Did he take revenge? Dive into the fantasy to find out.

Centuries from now, in a future reality far from our own, a terrible sickness spread throughout the world, leaving only a small group of survivors in its wake. These poor souls endured unimaginable pain, their suffering seemingly never-ending. But against all odds, the brave explorers and brilliant minds of our planet stumbled upon a solution in the farthest reaches of the galaxy. However, fate had other plans. During their mission to bring the cure back to Earth, a fortunate accident occurred. Another planet collided with ours, leading to an unexpected takeover by extraterrestrial invaders. These beings had no knowledge of Earth's existence until their ill-fated encounter, and now they hold its people captive, forcing them into a life they never could have imagined. After enduring years of this oppressive rule, a glimmer of hope emerges in the form of a young woman named Zaria Dove. In a world where women are treated as mere puppets, she rises from the ashes, determined to bring light to the darkness that surrounds her. Despite her loneliness and vulnerability, having suffered countless losses, she finds the strength to fight for her rights and become the powerful voice for those trapped in lives bound to slavery.

Seventy-eight years after the fall of the galactic hyperspace gate network known as The Veil, humanity’s once-glorious empire lies fragmented, drifting in the ruins of forgotten technology and collapsed alliances. Planets have become isolated war-states, AI gods rule over fractured digital realms, and ancient secrets fester in the vacuum of space. When the Veil mysteriously reactivates, releasing a wave of untraceable quantum signals and impossible anomalies, former war criminal and memory-hacker Riven Hale is pulled out of cryo-prison for one last mission: uncover the source of the reawakening, and prevent a second collapse. As Riven travels from derelict colonies to technocratic citadels, he uncovers a disturbing truth—reality is fraying. A mind-plague known as the Mnemonic Dust is rewriting memories across systems, blurring the lines between past and present. At the center of it all is a fanatical cult called the Dustborn, who claim the universe is a decaying simulation built by extinct, higher-dimensional beings known only as the Architects. As Riven pieces together his forgotten past and the role he once played in an erased war, he’s hunted by synthetic assassins, haunted by implanted memories, and drawn into a war for reality itself. The question is no longer who controls the Veil. The question is—what is real?

Once a legendary general, Kael Ardyn was killed on the battlefield—betrayed by those he trusted most. But fate offers him a second chance. A chance to be reborn. Not as a warrior. Not as a hero. But as a sickly prince everyone believes is already half-dead. The palace sees him as useless. His stepmother wants him gone. His stepbrother is already reaching for the throne. But Kael remembers everything from his past life. The wars he fought. The strategies that won battles. The mistakes that led to his death. Reborn into a weak body, Kael hides his recovery and begins to move carefully—protecting his younger sister, uncovering poison within the palace, and turning enemies who mock him into pieces on his board. When the woman betrothed to him is taken and offered to his stepbrother, Kael is left with only one path forward: a brutal tournament meant to decide strength and if he is worthy enough to marry her and to rule the kingdom. This second life is his chance to do things differently—and to take back everything that was stolen from him. The throne awaits, but the path is paved with danger, deception, and trials that will push him to his limits. Can the reborn prince prove he is the kingdom’s true heir—and become the ruler history will never forget?

In a world where magic is the ultimate corporate currency, one man's ability to bend probability could either save the city—or burn it to the ground. When billionaire CEO Alex Thompson survives an impossible car crash, he awakens with a dangerous gift: the power to manipulate probability itself. In the neon-drenched streets of New Eden, where corporate empires are built on ancient magic and reality bends to those who control it, Alex's newfound abilities make him the most valuable—and hunted—man alive. But when he discovers his trusted assistant Maya is actually a witch sent to monitor him, everything shatters. She was his warden, not his ally. Now, as a malevolent cabal called the Architects emerges to exploit his powers and collapse all probability into one predetermined fate, Alex faces an impossible choice: trust the woman who betrayed him to save humanity's free will, or embrace absolute control and become the monster everyone fears. In a deadly game where trust is illusion and control is corruption, Alex must learn the hardest lesson of all—true power isn't bending fate to your will. It's having the courage to let go. The fate of New Eden hangs in the balance. And the probability of survival? Impossible to calculate.

When gods bleed, mortals awaken… Centuries ago, the gods fell, and from their corpses flowed Eclipse Veins glowing rivers of divine blood that reshaped the world. Those who dared to drink from them gained unimaginable power… and lost pieces of their humanity in return. Now, as the last eclipse rises, the veins are dying and so is the empire that depends on them. Chaos spreads across the fractured lands, and those born under the eclipse are marked as Cursed Descendants hunted, feared, and executed. Riven Kael, a disciplined young soldier, never believed in fate until the night his veins ignited silver on the battlefield and everything he touched turned to ash. Branded a monster and forced to flee, Riven crosses paths with Lyra Vale, a mysterious girl who claims to be the reincarnation of the moon goddess herself. Lyra knows Riven’s secret the god’s voice whispering in his blood is the same one that once destroyed the heavens. To save what remains of humanity, Riven must uncover the truth behind his divine curse before the Eclipse Veins collapse completely… or become the god who ends the world a second time. But love was never part of the prophecy. And when a goddess falls for a god-killer, the stars themselves will tremble.
