Protective

Saving the world... by mistake. Theo Crumble just wanted to renew his ID and maybe grab a taco. Instead, he accidentally signs a government form that registers him as an Emergency-Class Hero—which wouldn’t be a big deal, except now he’s legally responsible for stopping apocalypses, hunting magical fugitives, and filling out form B-34 every time he punches a monster in the face. Welcome to the Department of Unintentional Heroics: a barely-functioning government agency held together by duct tape, magical bureaucracy, and pure denial. Alongside his “team”—a vampire afraid of blood, a goblin intern with an Excel addiction, and a talking briefcase with attitude—Theo must navigate magical crises, absurd paperwork, and coffee-fueled chaos, all while trying not to die (or get audited). Heroism was never part of the plan. Unfortunately, the universe didn’t get the memo.

Jaxon never expected a one-night stand to change everything. But when he wakes up next to Callie, the daughter of the man he believes is behind his parents’ murder. Everything he’s been chasing starts to blur. She’s soft-hearted, beautifully broken, and completely unaware of the blood on her family’s hands. He’s the heir to a fortune he can’t reveal, wrapped up in secrets he can’t afford to tell. Now he has to make a choice, protect the girl who’s beginning to heal him… or expose the truth and risk losing her forever.

On the day the world ended, Ethan lost everything to the monsters and the friends who stabbed him in the back. He died full of anger but a miracle sent him back ten years to the very first day the System came to Earth. Now he knows every secret dungeon, every future betrayal, and every way to grow strong. With a powerful SSS-Rank Conqueror System, Ethan starts over. He will clear impossible dungeons, build the strongest guild, make a huge kingdom, and crush every person who hurt him before. This time, the world will not see a hero. It will see an emperor rise.

He died saving a stranger—and awoke in a world ruled by monsters, magic, and endless war. Now, armed with a blade that burns with forgotten fire and hunted by forces older than gods, Adam must rise from nothing. But the power stirring inside him hungers… and not all who awaken survive what they become. In a kingdom where strength is law and beasts wear crowns, one man’s rebirth may spark salvation—or doom. He wasn’t just reincarnated. He was being summoned.

Losing his job and discovering his wife's affair in the same night was enough to bring Ray Walker to his knees. But rock bottom had one more thing waiting for him. His mother needed expensive surgery, and he needed money he didn't have. Then an offer arrived, the kind that paid too well to be legitimate and came with strings he couldn't yet see. From running special deliveries to standing as the secret bodyguard of a billionaire's daughter, Ray was only then beginning to understand just how dark the world he had stepped into truly was. ***

I replaced his father to go to jail. The marriage I wanted didn't happen. He who loved me finally left me.  It was too late for them to come back by my side with the new me, the untouchable. I had come out on top among all. 

In a world where mortals strive to defy the heavens, where mountains float and oceans roar with spiritual beasts, the cultivation world stands on the edge of chaos. The Radiant Court rules above all—seven Thrones, unshaken for ten thousand years. They decide who rises. They decide who falls. But there is a legend whispered in silence. A name spoken only in riddles. A figure who once stood above the heavens… and walked away. Chen Fi. No one knows where he came from. No one knows how strong he truly was. Only the oldest cultivators remember the tremble in the world when he last raised a hand. They say he once refused the title of Immortal Emperor. They say he gave up the Nine Dao Thrones. They say he saw something beyond power… and chose peace. Now, hidden in a quiet valley unknown to most maps, he lives as a humble hermit—drinking tea, fishing under cherry blossoms, and raising a single orphan boy. But peace never lasts. When the world begins to stir—when arrogant sects send disciples to claim his land, when the Thrones grow fearful of a man they could never control—old echoes awaken. Chen Fi does not seek conflict. But should conflict find him… He reminds the world why it once knelt.

A million years have passed since the war that shattered the harmony of Caelestia—the once-divine realm that shimmered with eternal light. The Divinomachy. It began with a betrayal. One of the Supreme Emperor’s most powerful and revered archangels, corrupted by pride, jealousy and ambition, raised his blade against his Creator. His defiance was swift and infectious—many of the Emperor’s faithful servants followed him, seduced by whispers of freedom, power, and a new order. Thus ignited a celestial war — Divinomachy. For one hundred years, the heavens trembled under the weight of clashing divinities. Brother turned against brother. Skies once filled with song now roared with the cries of battle. At last, the Supreme Emperor, weary of endless bloodshed, brought the war to a bitter close. With a divine curse, he cast down the traitors into a prison realm he created—Phlegethon and sealed their leader—while some escaped. Their punishment was eternal. Once-angelic beings were twisted into demons. Their silver skin blackened and grew scales. Their radiant wings darkened into shadows, and crimson replaced their once pure silver eyes. Even their hands bore the mark of damnation—silver claws sprouting where gentle fingers had once been. And when the fallen archangel was finally struck down, a prophecy echoed across the universe—spoken through the Emperor’s oracle: “When the stars realign and the seal weakens, the fallen one shall rise again. But from the forbidden love of both light and darkness shall be born a child—a hybrid. He shall end what the traitor had begun.” Though Caelestia was rebuilt, its wounds never fully healed. For prophecy does not forget, and the chains that bind the fallen grow weaker with every passing age. The ones who escaped hid themselves across the universe, patiently waiting for the return of their master.

I'm Evan Cross, and my upgrade path requires genuine connections with women who actually challenge me. A martial artist who uses me as a training dummy. A genius hacker who won't let anyone in. Each bond unlocks abilities I need to stop being everyone's victim.

Earth has been chosen for the Universal Trial. Overnight, every human awakens with a System and is forced to participate in a deadly game where worlds compete for the right to ascend to the Higher Realm. But something goes terribly wrong. The Systems become corrupted, turning countless humans into bloodthirsty zombies. Monstrous Rifts tear open across the planet, while terrifying creatures emerge from deadly Dungeons. For Owen, survival isn't his only concern. His sick mother and younger sister are still out there, and he'll do anything to reach them. Then he discovers something impossible. While everyone else receives the Universal Trial System, Owen receives something completely different. The Origin System. A mysterious System with 100% compatibility—one that can defy the rules of the Trial. But power comes with a price. As humanity struggles to survive, powerful factions rise, secrets surrounding the Systems begin to surface, and Owen realizes that Earth is only one of countless worlds participating in the Trial. There are civilizations that have been evolving under the System for thousands of years. And some of them are far stronger than humanity. To protect the people he loves, Owen must grow stronger, uncover the truth behind the corrupted Systems, and discover why the Origin System chose him. Because the Universal Trial has only just begun.
