Lord Of Beasts

BerserkBaldy
Ethan Crowe walked out of prison after seven years with nothing to his name and nowhere to belong. The world he returned to was unrecognisable. Gates had torn open across the globe, monsters roamed beyond human control, and society now revolved around the Titled - people chosen by mysterious voices and granted supernatural powers that made them heroes, weapons, and rulers all at once. Ethan wasn’t one of them. Not at first. Lost, angry, and with no future worth chasing, Ethan was barely surviving when a voice finally spoke to him. "Your Title is… Lord Of Beasts." But something about his awakening was wrong. Instead of gaining power in the real world like every other Titled, Ethan awakened a System tied to the Tower Of Beasts - a brutal, game-like world he can only enter while asleep. Inside the Tower, Ethan must fight for survival against monstrous creatures, earning power through a system of skills, evolution, and beasts. As for the beasts he acquires there? They persist beyond his dreams... Registered as an E Rank Titled with only D Rank potential, Ethan should have been insignificant. Yet the Lord of Beasts cannot be measured by ordinary standards. As Ethan grows stronger at an impossible rate, his existence begins to ripple outward - drawing the attention of elite Titled, criminal syndicates, and forces lurking behind the Gates themselves. His past refuses to stay buried, his beasts grow more dangerous, and the truth behind his Title hints at something far more terrifying than anyone realises. In a world ruled by power, Ethan Crowe starts at the bottom. But as the Lord of Beasts, it’s only a matter of time before he climbs to the top! Note: The novel is a gritty version of the typical hunter/awakener novels with a beast twist, which I hope you will enjoy Discord Server: https://discord.gg/c34nURr72W P.S.

I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Elliot was the perfect example of a nerd who never truly tasted what life had to offer before death claimed him. Because of his brilliant mind, he easily married the most coveted girl from his school—though it was purely because her father wanted to exploit him, and he remained completely oblivious. However, everything came crashing down when he realized how much of a fool he'd been for all the wrong people. But he wasn't entirely hopeless. Elliot was rather indifferent about death. A second chance, however, shattered that indifference entirely. Due to a heated disagreement between a god of trickery and a mysterious old hag, Elliot was reborn into a strange new world as Northern—a completely different realm. This world had forged its own voice, birthed its own calamities, and crowned its own heroes. In a world where people awaken talents, Elliot strangely awakens the ability to copy those very talents. But with that power came crushing responsibility—burdens far too heavy for a young, inexperienced boy like Northern to shoulder. Still, he'd rather walk through the flames of hell than shatter. *** This novel spans over a thousand chapters, so let me give you a heads-up about what to expect. The MC will be insufferable at first. This is a story where the MC has mountains of growing to do, and yes—he'll be grating for the first few hundred chapters. Whether you stay or bail is entirely up to you, but trust me: he will evolve, and watching that transformation will be incredibly rewarding. You know that feeling when your roommate who wore the same crusty hoodie for a week finally learns to do laundry like clockwork? You watch them folding clothes like it's sacred ritual, guarding that laundry basket like a dragon's egg. Or when your favorite author—who never used to reply—suddenly starts responding to every single comment with genuine care. You realize you could've missed witnessing their complete transformation if you'd given up on them. That's exactly what this is. This will be a brutal but captivating ride—just don't abandon him too quickly. Oh, and the grammar starts a bit rough around the edges but smooths out significantly in later chapters. Thank you, and I'll see you on the other side of a thousand chapters.

Reincarnated As Bait, Evolved To A Deity

Evan Mercer died unable to finish page 212 of the book he was reading. He thought that was the end. Instead, he wakes up as a minnow in a poisoned swamp, and for the first time in his life, he can breathe. It’s a very small second chance. It’s also a very dangerous one. Two hundred years ago, the portals tore open and the world changed overnight. Monsters poured through. Guns, missiles, and bombs barely scratched them. Humanity survived only because a handful of people awakened mythic abilities, and they’ve been fighting ever since. They’ve clawed back 60% of the planet. The other 40% still belongs to the monsters. Evan was born in the worst corner of it. The swamp is a Level 3 danger zone, cut off from every city and hunter guild. The miasma twists everything that lives there. Even the smallest creatures glow. The things in the deep are so much stronger than anything above them that Evan can’t even read their levels. They show up as question marks. It’s a closed world with a cruel ladder, where every rung eats the one below it. But Evan's got a status panel, a unique skill called Absorb, and a stubborn mind that refuses to stop asking questions. He can eat to grow stronger. He can fuse skills, unlock mutations, and push every ability past what it was meant to be. He doesn’t know what he’ll evolve into. The panel only displays: Available forms: ??? He doesn’t care. He wants to find out. Because beyond the swamp is an entire world he’s never seen. Dungeons that swallow cities. Guilds that rank people like weapons. Beings who can erase a city with a single move. And things above them that even those beings are afraid of. Evan is small. Evan is hungry. And Evan is absolutely not going to spend his second life hiding in a log. He’s going to eat his way up the food chain, climb out of the swamp, and see every impossible corner of this magical world. One bite at a time.
