cold

Adrian thought his family was ordinary. New countries. No past. No questions. Then, on a quiet night in Romania, his home was erased—his parents executed by a shadow organization that never leaves witnesses alive. Adrian was supposed to die with them. Instead, death answered him. Bound to a cold, merciless system that rewards only one thing—revenge—Adrian is reborn with a single purpose: hunt the men who destroyed his life. Each kill makes him stronger. Each mercy brings punishment. There is no hero’s path. No salvation. Only power earned through blood. Hunted across foreign soil by an organization that should not exist, Adrian must decide how much of his humanity he is willing to sacrifice to survive. Because the system does not care who he becomes. And it will not let him stop.

Fifteen years ago, the streets of Tokyo ran red with the blood of the corrupt, purged by a shadow known only as The Ronin. Then, the blade vanished. The legend became a ghost, and the man behind the mask, Hitoshi Asda, buried his demons to live a quiet life as a primary school teacher. But peace is a fragile thing. When a new designer drug floods the city’s colleges, a mysterious vigilante emerges, wearing the same demonic Hannya mask and wielding a non-lethal blade. This "New Ronin" is Kenji Tanaka—a martial arts prodigy driven by a childhood debt to the man who once saved his life. However, the underworld is no longer a place for heroes. The ruthless Kenji Twins, Ryo and Kiato, have built a corporate-backed criminal empire that feeds on the young and eliminates the weak. When the twins target Kenji’s family, the line between justice and vengeance is permanently severed. To survive, the student must seek out the master. Together, an old man who has forgotten how to hope and a young man who has lost his innocence must unite. Armed with high-tech armor, experimental weaponry, and a legacy of shadows, they will show the city that while men can die, the Ronin is an idea—and the night is finally fighting back.

The world was not made for the weak. That was the first truth Ian learned when the sect soldiers burned his home and left him for dead in the wastelands beyond the empire's borders. He survived. Not through luck, but through choice — the choice to discard everything that had made him human enough to hesitate. When Ian stumbles upon a collapsed cultivation cave and absorbs the remnant qi of a long-dead sovereign, he awakens to a rank that should not exist below the third realm. The cultivation world has a strict order, a hierarchy built over thousands of years. Ian's existence quietly breaks it. But as Ian climbs through the ranks, leaving behind a trail of pragmatic decisions the righteous would call atrocities, he begins to uncover something the empire has buried for generations — a truth about the sovereign whose power he inherited, and why every major sect in the known world would rather see him dead than let him reach the peak. dicord: https://discord.gg/yacKkCPac

"Trash stays with trash," they sneered, as they ripped the Heavenly Marrow Bone from his spine and left him to rot in a pit of filth. Feng Chen was once the golden child of the Lin Clan, a genius destined to reach the Heavens. But betrayal came from his own blood. Crippled, humiliated, and reduced to a lowly grave-sweeping servant, he was discarded by the world. But the heavens do not close all doors. In the depths of despair, Feng Chen’s blood awakens the Myriad-Dao Divine Crucible—a primordial artifact that transcends the logic of the universe. [Mortal Blood Detected...] [Initiating Sovereign Recast Protocol...] With the Crucible in his soul, Feng Chen no longer plays by the rules: Absolute Refinement: He turns "Trash Herbs" into "Perfect Grade Pills" that cause breakthroughs in a single breath. Eternal Devouring: He harvests the cultivation of his enemies, refining their years of effort into "Human Origin Pills." Immemorial Power: He masters the Dragon-Elephant Art, gaining the strength to trample galaxies and shatter the concepts of his foes. From a broken servant in a backwater village to a Sovereign who looks down upon the Nine Heavens—Feng Chen’s path is paved with the bones of "Geniuses" and the ruins of Sects that dared to stand in his way. Sects? I shall refine them into pills. Gods? I shall devour their fate. The Myriad Worlds? They are but fuel for my fire. “The path of a billion miles starts with the first drop of blood... and I have an ocean of blood to collect.”

Heir of the Storm In a world ruled by bloodlines and inherited power, Rhaegar Ion is born with nothing. No clan. No talent. No place to belong. For years, he survives as the lowest of the low—until the night the heavens judge him. Hunted to the edge of death, Rhaegar is struck by a storm that should have erased his existence. Instead, it awakens something ancient within him: the Heavenly Lightning Legacy, a power bound not to mercy, but to law. Its strength does not come freely. Every surge of lightning tears at his body, his mind, and the fragile line separating him from annihilation. As Rhaegar learns to survive with this unstable power, he is drawn into a world far larger and crueler than he ever imagined—one where factions manipulate fate, the heavens enforce their will, and legacy is both a blessing and a curse. He is not a hero chosen to save the world. He is a man forced to endure it. And if the storm demands a price, Rhaegar will decide who truly pays.

"The human body is a masterpiece of design. It is also the perfect prison." In a world where Cultivation is no longer spiritual but biological warfare, the God-Emperor has achieved immortality by turning his subjects into living fuel cells. The "Imperial Sickness" isn't a plague—it’s a harvest. Li Wei was born a Prince, but he was raised as a specimen. Abandoned in the toxic depths of the Void-Pit, his heart was surgically replaced with a stone-cold artifact of death: The Dead Heart. Under the tutelage of the Surgical Wraith, Li Wei didn't learn to move mountains or split the sky. He learned something far more terrifying: - He learned the exact tension of a vocal cord before it snaps. - He learned how to hijack a nervous system with a single silver thread. - He learned that every God, no matter how powerful, still has a Vagus Nerve that can be severed. Now, Li Wei has emerged from the Pit. He isn't here to lead a rebellion or claim a throne. He is here to perform a Total Systemic Excision. With a cracked porcelain mask, a mechanical companion with a fragmented soul, and a surgical register of 2,994 targets, the Butcher of the Void begins his final procedure. "I am not a hero. I am the Surgeon. And this Empire? It is a terminal patient."

Lilith never expected to wake up in the mansion of Arnold Blaze, New York’s most ruthless billionaire, known for destroying empires with the flick of a pen and emotions with a single glance. One drunken night. One unforgettable mistake. And now… her life is entangled with the last man she should ever cross. When Arnold offers a contract marriage, Lilith wants to refuse, but circumstances leave her no choice. For him, it’s all business. For her, it’s survival. But behind the cold contract lies a dangerous obsession. Jealousy. Secrets. Emotional walls built so high even Arnold can’t see past his own. And Lilith? She has secrets too, ones that could shatter everything. He’s the tycoon with no heart. She’s the woman he was never meant to keep. So why can’t he let her go?

In the world of Oros, steel is the only language—and Cian is a man of few words. ​The mainland is a slaughterhouse. Ten kingdoms, each mastering a unique art of death, have been locked in a cycle of conquest for a century. From the heavy warhammers of the Iron-Spire to the lightning-fast curved blades of Lion-Reach, the "Order of the Ten" determines who rules and who rots. These are the ten strongest knights alive, each a god of the battlefield representing their nation. ​Cian is none of them. He is a "muck-rat"—a nameless orphan used as a living target for noble squires. He has no title, no fancy armor, and no voice. But while the high-born brag of their lineage, Cian studies their every move, forging himself in the mud and blood of the training pits. ​When the Great War erupts and the kingdoms clash for total control of the mainland, the world will learn to fear the shadow in the blackened plate. Without a word, Cian begins his climb. One rank at a time. One kill at a time. ​He doesn’t fight for a king. He doesn't fight for glory. He fights to become the end of all things. ​The ranks are set. The blades are drawn. The era of the Black Knight has begun.

As a virtual anime game player, due to unknown reasons, he truly entered the world of Naruto. Treating the entire world as a game, Hyuga Arin plunged headfirst into it. Konoha dropped the [Sharingan], which formed a synergy with the Byakugan. Cloud Ninja enemies dropped Demon Slayer's [Thunder Breathing], along with Baki’s [Demon Back] and [Demon Brain]. Stone Ninja enemies dropped Fairy Tail’s [Arc of Time] and [Fire Dragon Slayer Magic]. He picked up [Devil Fruit Fragments] dropped by the Hidden Mist Village. He put on the [Vongola Sky Ring] from the Sand Village, igniting the flames of fighting spirit. As experience was farmed, skills upgraded, and levels increased, Hyuga Arin advanced toward the peak. He spread chakra fused with Nen abilities, using the ninja world as nourishment, embarking on a path that surpassed the Six Paths. The entire ninja world began to change beyond recognition. Hyuga Arin, having activated Six Paths Mode, floated high in the sky. Looking down at the Allied Shinobi Forces below, he said coldly: “Boss fight has started.”

He died a tycoon. He awakened as a nobody. In a world where strength decides everything, Li Yan is reborn into the body of a youth executed for possessing the forbidden Darkness Element. No background. No support. No second chances. Only a cursed talent and a world that has already judged him. What this world doesn’t understand is simple: The man wearing this body once ruled empires—not through brute force, but through discipline, patience, and ruthless strategy. Cold. Calculating. Unyielding. Li Yan hides his growth behind elegance and restraint, studying the rules of a world that respects only power. He does not chase strength recklessly. He constructs it—quietly, deliberately—turning every insult into leverage and every mistake into opportunity. He manipulates. He adapts. He conquers. And when the world finally senses the flames rising around him— It will already be too late. Enemies will kneel. Legends will fall. And beauty… will walk beside his fire. "If this world must burn for me to rise... then I’ll light the match myself." – Li Yan "Kindness has its place. But not in a world that respects only the strong." – Li Yan "I don't need to roar. The world will tremble when I speak." – Li Yan

The Age of Ascension has begun. A distant war, once fought by the ancients, has returned — its influence now bleeding into the lesser realms, consuming both the weak and the strong alike. In this new era, survival depends on one thing: Transcendence. Titles have appeared, granting power beyond mortal limits. To live is to rise. To fail is to be left behind. Amid all this chaos, what am I to do when even my body isn’t mine alone? {PLS NOTE: Do not read if you are faint of heart, It is a horror/gory book. For those who say it isn't horrifying enough, I implore thee to post suggestions.

Khai Li was a Sovereign who lost everything. Betrayed by his kin and stripped of his divinity, he was cast into the Ashen Grave—a world of iron, rust, and toxic silence. Branded as a 'Null', he was meant to die in the soot of Sector 10. But the Grave is a cruel teacher, and Khai is a fast learner. With a broken system that measures his life in decimal points and a hunger that defies logic, Khai begins his ascent. In a world where air is poison and water is acid, he will find strength in the rot. He isn't just surviving the Gutter. He is consuming it. Step by step, percent by percent, the fallen Prince will climb the Great Spine. Not for a crown, but for a reckoning. After all, what is more terrifying than a god who has learned how to crawl? "They told me I was nothing. I am going to show them that 'nothing'... is exactly what will destroy them."

Seventeen years of being the invisible kid. Seventeen years of people mocking my five-foot-three frame and my soft, feminine voice. ​But I wasn't just a victim. I was curious. And on New Year’s Eve, my curiosity finally led me to the end of the world as we knew it. ​They called it 'The Glitch'. While the sky shattered like a broken digital screen, I found it—the Murderous Ruin Stone, pulsing with a lethal mixture of purple and red light. ​Now, a cold, mechanical System is whispering in my head, and a tattoo of bloody flames burns into my arm. It has given me my first Quest: The Debt of Blood. ​Objective: Neutralize the threats in 5 minutes. ​Reward: 2000 Crystals and a Lower Health Potion. ​Penalty: Death. ​My only friend, Aryan, is bleeding out on the cold concrete. He is a fighter, but even he has limits. He took seventeen years of hits to protect me, and now, I need that health potion to save him. ​I don’t care about the power. I don’t care about the System. Even if I were still powerless, I would tear these thugs apart with my bare teeth for what they did to him. ​The weak kid is dead. I am the Silent Killer. And for every drop of blood Aryan lost, I will give them a hundred times the pain. ​The countdown starts now.

A dreadful experiment left Rudy crippled and incapable of taking part in any of the known trials that allowed humans to walk the path of ascension, allowing them to go beyond humane limits. However, Rudy didn't give up and searched for a way to get his revenge on those who had made him like this. After years, he finally found the trial gate that would change him forever... Trial of Blood suited him the best as for him revenge and power meant the most. Rudy who was once a crippled boy was reborn as the Vampire who would paint the heavens in blood.

He watched the river swallow the only person he ever loved. For years, he carried the guilt, the grief, the silence. He built his life around a grave that never had a body. He mourned a boy who was supposed to be dead. Until one night, under a familiar moon, he sees him again. Alive. Breathing. But those eyes — the ones that once knew him better than anyone — look at him like a stranger. Because the boy who drowned survived. And the boy who survived forgot him.

After being dropped into the world of Harry Potter, Leonard awakened a plant cultivation system. Any plant he touched could be massively enhanced, even absorbing materials from Magical Creatures to gain entirely new abilities. Chomping Cabbage can’t move? Only good for potion ingredients? Speed boost! Split! Shield breaker! Self-destruct! Cabbage, get in there and bite him! Venomous Tentacula doesn’t reach far enough? Dragon Breath! Poison Spray! Transform into an unfeeling artillery piece. What used to be plants that were only a little dangerous became the sworn enemies of wizards once Leonard got his hands on them. Then the Second Wizarding War erupted. Voldemort led his Death Eaters in an assault on Hogwarts—only to be met by rolling hills of Chomping Cabbages and Whomping Willows sprouting legs and covered in dragon scales. The battlefield turned into an all-out Plants vs. Wizards war. Voldemort: I’m losing my damn mind.

An Imperial Scholar by day. An assassin by night. The World of Cultivation has changed. Elemental Mancers. Flux Mancers. Spirit Mancers. Soul Mancers. Raining down fire and splitting oceans. Destroying mountains with a single stomp and calming skies with a glance. Controlling the tides of Karma, while wielding the souls of others like a puppeteer tugging on the Lines of Fate. The most mysterious of them all were Spirit Mancers, a truth that Theron was more than intimately familiar with. Due to one's Tribulation, his life was turned upside down. His family, his rage, his somber sadness becoming nothing more than Bad Karma's fuel for a madman. He was once a gentle young man, a non-combative Water Mancer who wanted nothing more than to read his novels to the sound of the rain and one day become an Imperial Scholar. But now... Everything had changed. He donned a cloak in the silent night as the clouds above gathered. Pulling its hood over his chilling blue eyes, he stalked off into the darkness. The first droplets fell. He would become the nightmare of his enemies, the blade hidden in the shadows of Heaven's tears. The River of the Night.
