Xuan Ye was born into this world as a mistake. A noble son with no spiritual roots and no destiny he was a blank page in a world of epic poetry. But hidden within his soul lies the Book of Fate the primordial source of all Anomaly Books. It is a power that does not belong to the Heavens

When the lights of Earth go out, the true terror begins. Thousands of ordinary people are vanishing from their beds, waking not in their rooms, but in a fragmented and bloody multiverse. They are the Dreamers—the final line of defense for existence itself against the Devouring Plague, an entropic corruption that consumes entire realities, turning heroes into ash and gods into forgotten monsters. Isaac Damask was just another young man exhausted by his routine, until the closing of his eyes hurled him into a world of dark fantasy, where magic is fueled by willpower and death in the dream can mean eternal oblivion in reality.

Reborn as Otto Apocalypse—the man history will condemn as a monster. He awakens with memories of a future already written in blood. He knows how the world ends. Heroes will die in vain. Nations will collapse. The Honkai will rise again and again, until nothing remains but ashes. Once, Otto walked a path of obsession and ruin. This time, he refuses to repeat it. From the shadows, he begins to move the pieces before the game even starts—rewriting tragedies, reshaping alliances, and altering destinies long before legends are born. Some lives he will save. Others he will sacrifice without hesitation. Because in a war against extinction, mercy is a luxury. Faith, science, morality—he will bend them all if he must. To him, salvation is not a miracle to pray for. It is a result to engineer. And if the only way to protect humanity is to become the villain history fears most— then let the world curse his name. He will save it anyway.

Leon thought the Academy would save his life. Instead, it awakened the thing inside him. Beneath the world sleeps an ancient source—fractured, buried, and whispering through the blood of those chosen to carry its power. When Leon and others awaken as “carriers,” the institution meant to protect them brands them a threat and moves to contain them before they become something dangerous. Now fleeing into the undercity with unstable powers, hunted allies, and answers no one fully understands, Leon must master a force that resists control and uncover the truth behind the sleeping god beneath the world. But every answer only raises one question: Were they chosen to save the world— Or to remake it?

Synopsis Uchiha Kenzo transmigrates one year before the night of the Uchiha Clan massacre, armed with knowledge of the future and a mysterious system that grants him strength whenever he kills. What will he do? Of course, he will kill — not out of hatred or petty revenge. No, far from it. Because the greatest sin in this world is not greed, lust, sloth, pride, wrath, envy, or gluttony. It is weakness. Weakness is the greatest sin anyone can possess in this universe. The strong prey on the weak. The wise deceive the foolish. This is the law of heaven and earth — and also the true beauty of reality. ⸻ Author’s Note I have a few things to say before this novel begins. First, this is my first time writing, so please expect some minor mistakes, as English is not my first language. Second, this is an original story, not a translation. ⸻ What to Expect (and What Not to Expect) This story will not contain any form of romance or mercy. I plan to focus heavily on killing, so yes, it will include gore and various forms of violence. Many original characters may die, so please bear with me. If you notice any mistakes, feel free to point them out in the comments — I will do my best to correct them. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the story.

The Dance of the Dragons. An age scarred by blood, ambition, and political strife. As Westeros tended toward chaos, the Targaryens’ once-unshakeable legacy reached its breaking point. Born to King Viserys I and Queen Alicent, Baelon Targaryen found himself in a life that he could not control. Night after night, he is haunted by recurring Dragon Dreams. Visions of what was, might have been, and may yet come. Burdened by his fear of the future, he, along with his twin sister Helaena, try to find their way out of the chaos. But where can a Targaryen truly escape? Essos? Asshai? The wilderness of Sothoryos? And even if they flee, can they truly ever outrun what had been foreseen in their dreams? This is an AU of the Dance, with several major changes: • The addition of Baelon Targaryen, twin to Helaena. • Dragon Dreams may be shared between two dreamers deeply bonded by blood and spirit. • Visions may include alternate timelines/parallel worlds Baelon is not reincarnated; all knowledge he possesses is gained through experience or through his dreams. The story is loosely inspired by HoTD: Reincarnated as Daemon Targaryen’s Son, though it follows its own path. Also, I need to emphasise that my MC will not become King of the Seven Kingdoms. This is simply the story of a young boy trying to escape what would have been a life marred by death, betrayal and conflict. All he wants is to become stronger, so he can protect himself and his sister.

This is a world where conflict never ends. Nations and organizations fight over territory. Ambitious individuals and politicians scheme against each other in their pursuit of power. Merchants battle for wealth. Men fight over women. Peace is nothing more than the brief interval between one conflict and the next. Some raise the banner of a great cause, others raise the banner of faith, and still others raise the banner of justice. Will someone ever appear who can bring true peace to this world?

At the heart of the world stands an empty THRONE — once the seat of reality itself. Then came the Whiteout— a catastrophe that swept across the modern age, granting every human supernatural power, turning reality into a battlefield, and the world into a crucible to forge a new ruler. On that day, Jack lost everything. He watched his mother die— and he recognized the killer. The man who raised him. The man who trained him to become the same monster. Driven by grief, revenge, and the will to survive, Jack enters a world where every act of kindness comes at a brutal cost… and every sacrifice takes something that cannot be returned. But there is still someone worth protecting. Elise. The girl who sees the good in him— even as he begins to lose it himself. To save her… and everyone he loves, Jack becomes what he must: A liar. A weapon. The very thing he hates the most. Not for power— but for love. But the more he sacrifices, the less of himself remains. As reality begins to fracture and the truth behind the THRONE unfolds, Jack is forced to confront the cost of his choices: What if saving the people he loves… means becoming the monster he was trained to be? And when the THRONE is finally claimed— what will rule reality? Love? A necessary lie? Or something far more terrifying? *** Early chapter access link and discussions on our Discord: https://discord.gg/EeKHZCKa4v

Twelve kingdoms. One fragile balance. Kings rule. Tyrants dominate. Empires rise. Yet above them all… something unseen controls the game. The world remembers victories. It records defeats.

I was once a professor on Earth. But for some unknown reason, my vision suddenly went blank and then everything went dark. When I opened my eyes again… I was here, in this world. At first, I just wanted to live a normal, peaceful life. But these damn people won’t let me be. They use “concern” for a blind clan member as an excuse to keep watching my every move. To monitor whether my blindness has anything to do with the Caged Bird Seal. And those old bastards? They’d probably silence me just to prevent any possible instability within the Hyūga clan. Fine. If you won’t let me live in peace… Then fuck with that Will of Fire. I’ll swallow Konoha little by little, until none of you can stop me anymore.
