Novoland The Castle In The Sky

The apocalypse didn't come with an instruction manual. Good thing Riccardo downloaded the ultimate cheat code. ​Riccardo Gonzales was just a regular college student stressing over a midterm. But when he wakes up to find the streets of Manila burning, mutated horrors tearing through the sky, and his neighbor trying to eat him, his poli-sci degree is officially useless. Trapped on the fourteenth floor, he has only one goal: cross a city of the undead to save his fifteen-year-old sister. ​Then his phone buzzes with an ad for a zombie survival game. One mistaken click changes his reality forever. ​Bound to the Military Survival System, Riccardo is no longer a defenseless civilian. He can track stats, earn gold from kills, and summon an elite squad of heavily armed, fiercely loyal soldiers directly into his living room. When a lucky spin on the daily Fortune Wheel drops a five-million gold jackpot into his lap, Riccardo stops running and starts buying. ​The undead might have the numbers, but Riccardo has the firepower. And he’s about to turn this apocalypse into a tactical warzone.

VOID CORE: THE LAST AWAKENER Born without mana. Branded as a curse. Destined to awaken the power feared by the entire world. On the night Kael Veyr was born, the heavens turned black. Mana storms swallowed the sky, ancient crystals shattered across the continent, and monsters emerged from the darkness as if responding to his existence. From that moment on, Kael became the cursed child of the Veyr Clan. Unlike his genius cousin, Leon Veyr—the prodigy blessed with overwhelming talent—Kael possessed no mana core at all. Hated by his clan and rejected by the world, he grows up as nothing more than a disgrace within his own bloodline. But hidden deep inside him lies something far more terrifying than mana itself. The Void. As ancient forces begin awakening from the Abyss and the balance of the world slowly collapses, Kael is dragged into a destiny connected to a forgotten power capable of devouring everything. The world fears him. The Abyss calls him. And one day, Kael Veyr will become either— The savior who restores the balance… Or the Void Monarch who destroys it all.

He was an immortal sovereign who forced gods to their knees, but a desperate sacrifice from his enemies stripped him of his physical form. Betrayed and sealed, his soul was forced to flee across dimensions, only for a bitter curse to derail his path at the final second. Instead of waking up in the body of a flawless prodigy, he opened his eyes to a cruel reality. He was now a fifteen-year-old orphan on the Sky Continent—a boy beaten to the brink of death, left with a completely shattered spirit power center, and feared by everyone for his "cursed" blue eyes. Stripped of his godlike might and trapped in a body labeled as a worthless cripple, he has to start from absolute zero. But they forgot one thing: his wrath didn’t stay behind. With his memories wiped but his instincts sharp, and an ancient spirit of wisdom guiding his mind, he will rewrite the laws of this new world. They thought a broken center meant his end. They were wrong. The sealed god is back, and he will climb his way back to the peak—even if he has to break this world apart to do it.

"This world doesn't need a hero. A broken world just needs a ruler crueler than any monster out there." Jonathan was left bleeding out on the wet asphalt. His fiancée walked away arm-in-arm with a rich boss, right as the city sky ripped open and monsters rained down to swallow the streets. Just as his breath was fading, a cold, mechanical voice buzzed in his head: [Critical Condition. Initiating Alpha Evolution System Synchronization.] Instead of dying, Jonathan got back up. Saving the world? He couldn't care less. He used the system for one thing only: hunting. From the street thugs who stomped on his head, corrupt military generals acting tough, to giant apocalyptic monsters—he butchered them all. He drained their energy to evolve. Now, so-called 'Gods' from other dimensions are descending to Earth because they feel threatened. They think Jonathan is just a street rat who got lucky with a cheat. Let them come. Jonathan only sees them as one thing: dinner for his next evolution.

The sky split apart. A mysterious System descended. The world turned into hell. Mutant zombies, ancient monsters, and tyrant Lords hunt the remaining humans. Civilization collapses, hunger spreads everywhere, and hope is nearly extinct. Yet in the middle of the apocalypse, one man rises. Axel. While others struggle merely to survive, Axel awakens a forbidden talent: [1000x Critical Chance]. One tree cut down… becomes a forest. One monster slain… becomes a mountain of resources. One fortress built… becomes an impregnable city. The ruined world becomes the foundation of his empire. Together with Abby, a strategic genius with a heart as cold as steel, Axel begins building something greater than a mere shelter. An Absolute Fortress. An empire rising from the ashes of the apocalypse. The tyrant Lords will fall. Monsters from other worlds will be harvested. Even the Ruler of the System will be challenged. Because in this chaotic world, only one law remains: Everything Axel touches… becomes 1000 times deadlier. And this time, he doesn't just want to survive. He wants to rule the world.

It was a normal day until giant spaceships started appearing in the sky, collapsing on buildings and houses, turning them into rubble and debris. People screaming and running around in fear. During this incident, Eggsy at the last moment had been saved from experiencing a cruel death from his bullying classmates. He managed to escape and was just dragging his broken right-feet along the street when he found a girl stuck under a huge debris. On the attempt of saving her, he was captured by the bullies who hit his head with a wooden bat, causing him to fall on the ground… lifeless. A couple of minutes later, his eyes had fluttered open, only to find himself alive and uninjured. “How is this possible??” He wondered until a System flashed above his face. [You have been granted the Apocalypto System, below are your special abilities. Survive no matter what!!] In line with this, he was required to protect someone,… the girl he found on the street moments ago, she had saved him from the bullies, now it’s his turn to pay her back.

The mark on Ji-sung's palm never worked. For years, he was classified F-rank the lowest of the low in a world where Eclipse Gates tear open the sky and monsters pour through. Other Hunters fought. Ji-sung watched. Then he walked into a Dark Eclipse alone. And survived. When he woke up, the mark had changed. Not a system. Not a cheat. Something older a contract with an entity that calls itself the Contractor, offering one ability the Bureau has never recorded in any living Hunter: Absorption. Every enemy he defeats, he consumes. Every power he takes becomes his own. And unlike every other Hunter in history, his rank has no ceiling. But the Gates are not random. The monsters are not mindless. Something on the other side has been watching humanity for twelve thousand years building toward a single moment when the boundary between worlds finally breaks. Ji-sung is not the chosen one. He is the one who chose. ECLIPSE GATE is a progression fantasy about power built from the ground up, a team forged under impossible pressure, and the truth buried beneath a war that was never supposed to be a war at all.

In the world of Orthos, where two suns battle for the sky, Eilan Voss lives an ordinary life as a cleaner in the Cloud Archipelago. He dreams of joining the Warrior Legion, but his body rejects Aether completely. His life changes in a single night when mysterious parasitic creatures called "The Spores" descend. One tries to take over his brain, but Eilan stops it—only to discover the parasite has taken control of his right hand, creating a being with two minds in one body: Veltis. As Eilan learns to coexist with his inner parasite, he discovers the world isn't what it seems. Servina Lux, the exiled emperor's daughter, leads a secret revolution behind a mask. The Great Naked Ones emerge from nowhere. And Shadow Emperor Vandal Grim plans "The Extermination Protocol"—destroying half of humanity to save the planet. As corrupted Aether spreads and humans transform into monsters, Eilan faces an existential question: Are the parasites the real enemy, or are humans themselves? Between loyalty and friendship, between survival and humanity, Eilan must choose his fate: become a monster that saves the world, or a human that destroys it. "The veil rises... and the world waits."

I hated being locked up like a damsel in distress. Like I was some princess that needed constant protection, but deep down I was grateful. I was still struggling to summon my powers, so if I was attacked alone I would be defenseless. I understood why Valerian wanted me to stay confined within the walls of our home since there was a protection spell suffocating the entire atmosphere that surrounded it. But I was so bored. Valerian was not there to take me out and keep me occupied with his cocky smiles and quirky comments. The only thing I could think to do to pass the time was to take a stroll around the castle grounds. I exited out into the courtyard and walked past the beautiful wooden benches and vibrant trees. Roses of every colour confiscated the grounds and it was like I was walking through a rainbow. My fingertips caressed the petals and I inhaled the sweet scent of their exquisiteness as I walked through the trails. I was so mesmerized by the area that I didn’t realize where I was going. I gasped as I reached for the next rose in my path, and it crumbled from my touch. The rest of the walkway was filled with black and decayed roses that tumbled to the ground like ash from a horrible wildfire. My frightened eyes glared out into the distance as I realized the dead flowers led to a shadowy tunnel made from black brick. A sign barely dangling from a broken chain at the top of the entrance read ‘dungeon.’ My body cringed at the sight. This was the dark side of Valerian that I knew and wanted to avoid as much as possible.

The rain had been falling on Moonveil City since dawn, running in silver threads down the tiled roofs, spilling from gutters into the crooked alleys. The sky was low and iron-grey, heavy enough to press against the tower-tops of the Martial Regulation Bureau. Inside the courtyard of the Moonveil District Arms Hall, Kael Ruan stood in silence, a new-issued badge in his hand. He was twenty-four, too young, too brash, they’d said, yet here he was, sworn as the youngest Arms Keeper in the city’s history. His mentor, Master Renji, watched from the covered steps, eyes narrowed as if weighing more than just the rain. [Silent Oath System Activated] Oath Energy: 0/100 Core Blade Slots: Shadowsteel (Locked), Frostvein (Locked), Dawnpiercer (Locked) Techniques: Oath Cut (Locked), Sword Recall (Locked) The voice cold, ringing inside his skull had woken with his oath to defend the district. It spoke without warmth, without mercy. It offered strength in exchange for vows sworn before witnesses. But the warning was clear: break an oath, and the System would take more than power from him.
