Protector

Zenith was once the ‘Elite Cog,’ the pinnacle protector of Magitek, until he failed. His failure to detect an ancient poison curse trapped the Empress in stasis, costing him his identity. He now lives as the Exile Mechanic, a nihilistic junk scavenger who channels his pain solely through confusing, absurd jokes. However, when the Caledonian witch clans invade, Zenith’s ragged form can no longer conceal the Warlord’s combat memories. Forced to protect the teenage Crown Prince, he must balance the brutal ferocity of his military mode with the ridiculous buffoonery of his Exile persona. Fleeing across the Kingdom, Zenith and the Prince uncover a secret darker than his initial failure: the failure was not a mechanical glitch, but the work of ancient fate bound by the King’s Forbidden Oath. To destroy this curse and reawaken the Empress, Zenith must stop running from himself. He must learn to embrace the duality of the Warlord and the Clown, organize the remaining Magitek Legions, and prove that sometimes, the best way to maintain sanity against the horrors of war is to turn them into a joke.

Cassian Ironvale sees the world not with his eyes, but with the arcane energy that pulses through the earth. As the blind protector of Ravenhollow, his "Second Sight" has kept his village safe from the terrors of the Shadowwood. But when the ancient seals of the Dark Temple begin to fracture, unleashing the Shadowspawn—monsters born of pure malice—Cassian realizes his blades are no longer enough. Teaming up with Freya, a brilliant tactician and lorekeeper, and Cole, a sharpshooter with a deadly aim, Cassian embarks on a perilous quest to find the Dawn Relic and reseal the darkness. But the Shadowwood hides more than just beasts; it hides a conspiracy that reaches into the highest ranks of the realm. When the ultimate evil, the Shadow Lord, begins to awaken, Cassian's greatest battle won't be against the darkness, but against his own failing body. As the line between light and shadow blurs, a devastating sacrifice will force a new hero to rise from the ashes. Can Cassian's grieving disciple, Kaelen, master the forbidden Sunforged magic and unite the fractured kingdoms before the realm is plunged into an eternal night? *There is no destiny. Only the steel in your hand and the brothers who stand beside you.*

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?

What greater curse is there, than to be born a mage with no powers? I guess there is none in Namrys where you are only defined by what are__ a hunter, a healer or a human. In this world plagued by vicious soul eaters; who suck the souls of humans for food, you are either a protector or the protected. But there is Sora, a mage with no powers. He has no place in this world and is bullied every single day of his already miserable life. However, one fateful day changed the course of Sora's life. At the brink of death after being injured by a soul eater, he is given a chance to return to life and save his best friend, but on the condition that he takes on the most dreaded task. He has to face the Creator. Now, how does a mage with no powers, come face to face with he who creates soul eaters? Sora agrees, but as he delves deeper into the mystery of the soul eaters, he discovers that his journey may have just begun and the truth behind his rebirth maybe more dreadful than he ever could have imagined. Will he rise to become the hero the world needs or will he fall to the curse of his own weakness?

Ten years ago, Bran Navine lost everything in a single night. His mother died under suspicious circumstances, his father turned his back on him, and the only family he had left was cast out and left to survive on the streets. Alongside his younger sister, Christine, and their only protector, Aunt Francine, Bran learned what it meant to live with nothing while powerful enemies erased their existence from the world. But Bran refused to remain powerless. He vanished into the shadows and spent a decade building himself into something no one could control. War made him stronger, strategy made him feared, and bloodshed made his name known across battlefields as the “King of the South,” a commander who never lost and never forgave. Now, the war is over, and Bran has finally returned home. What should have been a peaceful reunion turns into disaster when Christine is taken and sold into an underground slave auction controlled by the powerful Elara Quin and the influential Reed family of Heartless. Aunt Francine, the woman who raised them after their downfall, is left broken after trying to protect them alone.

When the sky over London cracks open and the moon begins to bleed light, four friends find themselves trapped in a city that’s no longer human. The world has been reclassified — not as Earth, but as a Dungeon Territory, and every living thing inside it has been registered for survival or extinction. Riley, a quiet historian with a talent for seeing patterns, becomes the first Lunamancer, his power waxing and waning with the moon. Miko, sharp-tongued and fearless, manifests the instincts of a Swordswoman whose blade remembers every kill. Amber, calm and analytical, turns healer and protector through the conviction of a Paladin. And Arianna, whose empathy once made her fragile, bonds with her mutated dog and becomes a Beast Master — her strength now tied to the creatures she commands. Together they navigate a city collapsing into nightmare: streets carpeted with dead birds, rivers running red, and monsters evolving faster than reason. Every fight earns experience. Every kill rewrites the rules. Every sunrise weakens Riley’s power — and every moonrise brings something new from the fracture above. But survival isn’t enough. The System is watching, counting, and adapting. And somewhere beyond the broken skyline, the first dungeon floor is waiting.

Joseph Benjamin Carmen, also known as JBC or Unkillable, fused with infinite variants of himself, each representing different versions of his being across the multiverse. This fusion resulted in the creation of a prime version, possessing unimaginable power beyond comprehension. However, this newfound power came at a steep cost: the absorption of so many diverse counterparts triggered what is known as personality madness. To contain this madness and his limitless potential, JBC bears three mystical markings on his forehead, which serve to seal and suppress his powers. JBC is forcibly sent to an isekai world—the last of its kind—by a mysterious and powerful force he encountered after the fusion. In this strange new world, he must undergo a journey of self-discovery to control his ambitions, or risk unleashing chaos and destruction. As he explores this dimension, JBC notices significant changes in himself and his abilities, making him question his purpose. Will he rise as the protector of this new world, or will he become its greatest enemy?
