Raised In Dungeon

Alex Noir, a burned-out game developer, receives a mysterious VR headset from an anonymous package. When he puts it on, he's pulled into "The Endless Trial"—a brutal survival game where death is permanent and the only way out is to beat all 100 levels. Each level is a different deadly scenario (zombie apocalypse, fantasy dungeon, sci-fi space station, historical battlefield, etc.) Marcus gains real skills and attributes that carry over between levels He can collect "Respawn Tokens" by completing bonus objectives—his only way to cheat death The system gives him quests, stat screens, and skill trees, but it's ruthlessly unfair: make a stupid decision, and face stupid consequences Whatever happens in the game affects the real world. If he dies in a level, he dies in reality. But that's not his only problem, the game starts "bleeding" into reality. Monsters from incomplete levels begin manifesting in his city. The longer he's trapped, the more the game corrupts the real world. His friends and family get pulled in as trapped players. Alex must not only survive and level up, but figure out who created this game and why because there are other players trapped in their own trials, and something is systematically hunting them all.

Three years ago, Jason Ward was nothing. A weak, ridiculed dungeon manager. A nobody everyone looked down on. When a catastrophic gate rift threatened countless lives, he made a choice that changed everything. He sacrificed himself to save the legendary S-Rank mage, Aria Reeves, and vanished into the collapsing rift. The world declared him dead. But death was only the beginning. After surviving three years in a world where magic had evolved beyond imagination, Jason returns stronger than anyone could have dreamed. Yet the world he comes back to is not the one he left behind. Aria Reeves, once hailed as the Great Mage of Stars, has lost everything. Her power is gone. Her career is over. Abandoned by the guild she gave her life to, she spends her days hiding from the world that once worshipped her. When Jason appears at her doorstep carrying impossible knowledge and a way to restore her magic, he offers her something no one else can— A second chance. As forgotten heroes rise, corrupt guilds tremble, and hidden truths about the rifts begin to surface, Jason and Aria must fight their way back to the top. Because the man everyone bullied is no longer weak. And the Great Mage is about to reclaim what was stolen from her. Together, they will shake the world.

Ogres have four distinct traits: they all have tusks and horns, their favourite food is human flesh, they have a weak spot somewhere on their body, and, most importantly, they can all use magic. That one fact made them so absurdly powerful that they'd driven the human race to its last haven—a continent known as Eden. So no one expected Noah to eat them. Centuries before Noah was born, there arose wizards: powerful superhumans wielding unique magic—supernatural abilities that enabled them to fight back the Ogres into a stalemate. Noah was the opposite of this. He was a slumrat: a magicless nobody who lived off heaps of trash, beneath even your average man. But after being dragged into a level six dungeon thanks to the king's decree, Noah is left face to face with a two-thousand-year-old humanoid Ogre, and at the point of death, awakens a codex—a system-like runic interface—and a strange but unique ability to devour Ogres and wield mutated forms of their abilities. Except, he can't exactly predict what those mutated abilities will be. Now armed with an ability to climb the ranks to become the strongest, and most importantly save his younger brother, Noah begins the spiteful ascent to becoming the strongest wizard. A journey full of death, devouring, more devouring, and batshit chaos that might just save the world.

Title: Monster Hunter: From Broke to Boss Genre: Action | Fantasy | Adventure | Urban Comedy | System | Monster Hunter Synopsis: Broke. Beaten. Betrayed by life. Leo Kim was just another overworked delivery guy trying to survive the city grind. No money. No prospects. No luck. Until his scooter sent him flying—literally. But instead of a hospital bed or pearly gates, Leo wakes up in a bloodstained forest, inside the body of a dying nobody in a world where monsters roam, demons rule, and hunters are gods among men. Then it hits him—a glowing screen hovers before his eyes: [System Activated: Welcome, User.] Armed with a sarcastic, semi-broken AI system that rewards creativity over carnage, Leo sets out to rank up in a brutal society where the weak are cannon fodder and the strong get rich or die legendary. But unlike everyone else, his path to power involves cheat quests, crazy loopholes, and playing the system like a stock market. Now, from killing sewer goblins to outsmarting dungeon lords, Leo’s rising fast—making enemies, stacking cash, and somehow becoming the most unpredictable hunter the guild has ever seen. From rent debt to world threat—Leo’s coming for the top rank. And this time, life better stay out of his damn way.

We are byproducts of the environments we were raised from. Childhood traumas shape how we interact with other people later in our lives if we fail to heal.

Allison walked along the port side of the flush deck toward the bow. When they saw their captain walking by in the dim light, several hands raised their foreheads in salute. Standing just above the bowsprit, he came to a stop and gazed out into the night.It was comforting to hear the steady, even sound of the ship's hull piercing the Atlantic wavelets as it surged forward.

Kyle had never had it easy. Orphaned young and bullied by everyone around him, he pushed through each day for one reason only—his little sister. She was critically ill, and the only thing that could save her was the legendary, impossibly expensive 'Moonlight Potion'. His one shot? Becoming a Hunter. With real power, he could finally rise above, earn enough credits, and save the only person who mattered. Everything depended on his eighteenth birthday—the day he would awaken his talent. The day everything was supposed to change. And it did... just not the way he’d hoped. While others awakened fire, shadow, and lightning... Kyle got 'Bubble'. A talent that didn't exist in any known class ranking—from mighty SS to pathetic F. Unrecorded. Unrated. Unwanted. Useless. Weak. Pathetic. That’s what they called him. No guild would take him. No party would have him. But Kyle? He just smiled. Because they didn’t understand. Not yet. 'It’s not about the talent you get. It’s about what you do with it.' Let them mock him. Let them call him useless. Armed with an unknown power and an unbreakable will, Kyle walked into the dungeon alone. The world might see him as nobody for now, but he would prove that even an unranked talent could rise—and that the underdog everyone cast aside might just become a legend.

In a world where the "System" grants incredible powers, Silas is branded an Aberrant—a cosmic mistake. His "Paradoxical Path" doesn't give him magic or strength. It gives him impossible, humiliating quests. Get pecked by five chickens. Let a squirrel steal your lunch. Get slapped in public by the Guild's golden boy. Everyone in the backwater village of Oakhaven laughs at the boy with the useless System. But with every absurd challenge completed, Silas earns a hyper-specific, seemingly worthless reward: unshakeable heels, the ability to retrieve stolen items, legs that can't be knocked down. When the arrogant Stormcaller Sir Alaric and his elite squad become trapped by a dungeon's monstrous vines, they're saved not by a mighty warrior, but by a "useless" Aberrant throwing a rock in the most inexplicable way possible. Forced into the Guild's most despised division—Branch C, "Miscellaneous Problems"—Silas must now navigate a hierarchy that despises him, using his growing arsenal of bizarre abilities to solve problems no one else can (or wants to): a cursed oven, a whispering river, a cat in a tree guarded by an axe-wielding hermit. All while fending off the schemes of a noble rival determined to prove he's just a lucky fool. For Silas, every impossible quest is a stepping stone. Every humiliation is a hidden strength. And the Guild is about to learn that the greatest threat to the status quo isn't a mighty hero, but the village idiot who sees a different set of rules entirely.
