Coming back from the magic world, Riya rebuked her shameless stepmother. She was back to her first life with the world treasure and thought that her life would be smooth sailing. But… What was happening with the environment? Why did the mana suddenly recover on this Green Planet? And why did those magic beasts also appear? Riya: ??? Ah, Riya silently swore to secretly become stronger to deal with these magic beasts that went on rampage.

Dungeons may mean adventure for heroes… but someone still has to clean them up. Hope is an energetic and carefree young man who steps in after the heroes defeat the boss and claim their loot, repairing traps, resetting monsters, and treating all the chaos like a “normal workday.” However, one day this ordinary routine is shattered, and Hope finds himself thrown into gladiator arenas, fleeing through chaotic dungeons filled with strange monsters, traveling alongside odd allies, and facing missions that grow more dangerous with each step.

The world of Astrea lies shattered, cloven in two by a colossal rift known as the Scar. This cataclysm was born not of natural disaster, but of human discord—a violent conflict over the Sun Goddess Litha’s sacred gemstone, abandoned a century ago. When the stone fractured, its immense power bled into the world, imbuing select individuals with extraordinary abilities. Yet no one dares cross the Scar’s abyss; it is an impassable barrier that has turned one realm into two separate worlds. Amidst this fracture, Soleil Summerdale was torn from her mother. The chaos of the rivalry shattered her life, leaving her with only a fragile hope: to one day be reunited. To cross the Scar—a nightmarish den of monsters spawned from the same catastrophe—Soleil must find the vanished Goddess Litha herself. But in her search for divine aid, she uncovers a truth far more terrifying and personal than she ever imagined. As her journey unfolds, a latent and formidable power awakens within Soleil. This strength, emerging in the world’s darkest hour, seems destined to summon light against the engulfing darkness. Yet with it comes an impossible burden. Soleil is faced with a choice she is unprepared to make: risk everything to mend the broken world and forge a new history of peace, or protect herself from the crushing weight of expectations in a world already steeped in chaos. The path she chooses will define not only her fate, but the future of all Astrea.

“Mommy!! Daddy’s new mate said she’s having a baby. Does that mean he won’t want us anymore?” little Colin cried, clinging to my legs. “Mommy! That rude lady said Daddy doesn’t love us.” my twin Amy whispered, her lips trembling. I looked up from my sobbing children at my Alpha King mate, who had come chasing after them once his so-called mate had hurt them. "She’s pregnant? You told me she was just a fling," I choked. "You and the kids will never lack luxury or comfort," he uttered, refusing to meet my gaze. So that was his excuse? That was his answer to cheating? “You’ve already lost me. Now you’ve lost your children too. We’ll live better without you, and one day you’ll regret losing us.” The moment I said it, his eyes finally met mine, they were wet too. "Alpha King Kash, I reject you!" I hissed. .. Iris thought she had the perfect mate until she caught her Alpha husband cheating. Heartbroken and pregnant, she ran away, hiding in the woods with her unborn pups. Years later, Iris returned to the werewolf world, not as a weak Luna, but as a mother and a woman determined to take her place. But her Alpha had already married his mistress. When he discovered that Iris had left with his children, rage and regret consumed him. Now torn between betrayal and love, Iris faced a choice: protect her babies and destroy the mate who broke her, or risk giving him a second chance.

Wondered if a cryptomining app would make you a Superhero..or villain? Damen Dark is an unfortunate orphan trapped in a cruel household, forced to endure the abuse of his uncle, his family, and a world that seems determined to break him. One ordinary day, he receives a mysterious link on his phone advertising a new app—DemCoin, a cryptocurrency mining program. Damen knows it’s probably a scam. But curiosity gets the better of him. At first, the app seems harmless. It “mines” coins by targeting living beings—stray animals… and people. With little expectation, Damen uses it as a private outlet for his bottled-up anger, siphoning coins from those who torment him: his family, his classmates, the bullies who rule the streets. It feels like justice. It feels good. But DemCoin is far more than a mining app. As Damen accumulates enough coins, hidden features unlock—features that allow him to target individuals and steal their powers. What begins as survival turns into temptation, and temptation into transformation. With every stolen ability, Damen grows stronger… and more dangerous. Now faced with unimaginable power, Damen must choose who he will become. Will he take revenge on a world that never showed him mercy, or rise as a hero to protect it? The truth lies somewhere in between. In a cruel twist of fate, Damen soon realizes the irony of power: the stronger he becomes, the greater the threats that hunt him. And worse still, DemCoin is not just a tool—it is a force, subtly guiding his path. Whether he knows it or not, the app isn’t shaping him into a savior. It is forging a supervillain. And Damen Dark may have no choice but to become exactly that.

He awakens at the bottom of an endless dungeon. No name. No memories. No way out. The only rule carved into this world is simple: Ascend… or be erased. Arthur carries a cursed ability. Every time his body is broken, it is forced to evolve. Shattered bones grow stronger. Burned muscles harden. Torn flesh adapts. Pain is not a consequence. Pain is the mechanism. With every floor he climbs, Arthur becomes less human. Each battle pushes his body beyond survival—and drags his mind closer to collapse. Soon, adventurers descend into the dungeon to hunt the anomaly growing within it. When mortals fail, divine-ranked beings take notice. And when even they are not enough… the gods intervene. But evolution has a price. His body can regenerate. His mind cannot. And if Arthur stops climbing— he doesn’t die. He disappears.

Lior is an ordinary teenage student. One day, after arriving home from high school, he went to sleep in his bed. When he woke up, he had no idea what had happened or why he was there. He had been reincarnated into the body of a young demihuman slave in a bygone era. Because of this, his adventure in a new world is about to begin.

The gods built a hierarchy to keep the world in order. At the bottom, mortals suffer. At the top, demigods feast. Cyan is reborn into this system—not to challenge it, but to climb it. Chosen by a god who see's him as disposable, he awakens within the High Archy, carrying a curse that feeds on violence and rewards annihilation. Every life he takes sharpens his ascent. Every fallen demigod brings him closer to the summit. He does not rage. He does not hesitate. He kills, because the system demands it. As demigods vanish and divine balances collapse, something begins to unsettle the heavens. The hierarchy was never meant to be climbed this way. The gods are watching now. Not because they can stop him— but because they are no longer certain what will happen when he reaches the top.

Rosemary feels like a wilted flower in her father’s court. Born into a society that places power on a pedestal, her frail body and weak angelic powers only earn scorn from her fellow nobles and icy contempt from her father. Suffocated by whispers and rejection, Rose’s gentle spirit eventually breaks, driving her to do the unimaginable– jumping off a bridge on a stormy day. But as she sinks into the water, memories of her brother's kindness renew her will to live. Yet, it might already be too late as she's dragged under the current of the river. All hope seems lost until a hand reaches into the roaring river and grabs her– a pair of cold eyes purple peer back at her. Would their owner bring the salvation she so desperately craves, or a continuation of the emotional torment she has endured since childhood?

“In a world that recognizes only perfection, to be ‘incomplete’ is a crime punishable by erasure.” The city of Iris is more than a fog-drenched capital—it is a living oil painting, ruled with an iron grip by the Council of Colors. Here, humans are classified by the precision of their form and the purity of their hues, while the Purifiers hunt down any visual flaw or geometric error, wiping it from existence. Sol is not human. He is a Sketch—a being made of faint pencil lines and a fragile paper frame, escaped from an unknown atelier. Sol survives in the margins, stealing pigments from abandoned paintings to keep his body from fading away. Yet he possesses something even the perfected elites lack: the Eye of Eternal Pigment—the ability to see the source threads of reality and redraw them… or erase them entirely. When Lucia the Critic begins a ruthless hunt to reclaim his eye, Sol is forced into the city’s abstract underbelly, where discarded drawings and rebellious shadows converge. There, he will learn that his existence is not a mere artistic error, but the only flaw in a false cosmic system. Can a fading sketch erase the fate of perfected gods? Or has destiny already been drawn in ink that cannot be undone?

In a world where memories are extracted and weaponized, a traumatized girl and her guilt-ridden brother are pulled into a covert war against parasitic beings undermining civilization—forcing them to choose between destroying the origin of magic itself or preserving their power at the cost of humanity’s freedom. This is the interwoven version of the story, so perspective flips will happen much more frequently.

He grew up in a crowded coastal town, with no memory of who he was before age four. No birth certificate. No family photos. Just a name whispered in his dreams: Lior… Fifteen-year-old Elior Reyes lives a quiet life with the woman who claims she rescued him. But when a viral video captures him saving a child from a fire, everything changes. Because someone sees him. Someone who’s been searching for twelve years. Someone who knows the truth. Eli is not who he thinks he is. He is Lior Aurelio, the missing heir of Lucentia — a boy stolen from a billionaire family and hidden away. Now, Eli must navigate a world of wealth, secrets, and grief. A family that mourned him. A truth that breaks him. And a question that haunts him: Can you truly belong to a life you don’t remember?

In the year 3,092,028, humanity has ascended into a Type 100 Civilization, where galaxies are canvases and reality itself bends to the ambitions of the powerful. In this world of floating megacities, neon-lit streets, and cherry-blossomed sanctuaries, empires rise and fall—not by armies, but by those who move in the shadows. Kyuroto Mitsuyo, heir of the legendary Mitsuyo Clan, is one such shadow. Born with human blood but backed by a godly lineage, he wields influence that can shape wars, economies, and destinies—all without ever showing his face. To rulers, he is a whisper. To nations, an invisible hand. To enemies, the last face they never see. Orphaned by tragedy at a young age, Kyuroto has mastered espionage, manipulation, and covert warfare, turning personal loss into unshakable resolve. Yet beneath his calm exterior lies a deeply emotional core, bound to the memories of his parents and the weight of his hidden power. As secret societies clash, galaxies tremble, and realities bend, Kyuroto must navigate a world where technology meets cultivation, and where every shadow hides a potential threat—or opportunity. In a civilization that has surpassed imagination, only the clever, the ruthless, and the unseen can survive.

In truth, her life is cursed to repeat. Every time she dies by betrayal or an uncertain fate, she is forced back again, trapped in an endless cycle of death and return. An unbalanced soul and a powerful witch’s blessing bind her fate to something far greater than she understands. Is it salvation… or another form of punishment? As memories pile up and pain hardens her heart, Pheona must uncover the truth behind her fractured soul, the witch who altered her destiny, and the curse that refuses to let her rest. Will she ever escape this repeating fate? Or is she destined to relive betrayal until her soul finally shatters?

The world forgot him. Zalam was born into ruin, a survivor of the Daybreakers’ devastation and the neglected Rejects of society. For years, he endured in silence, carrying the weight of loss and despair… until the shadow inside him awoke. In that awakening, Zalam inherited the power of a fallen god—the Fallen Night, deity of death and exile. Shadows obeyed him, hunger surged through his veins, and the world that ignored him trembled. But power comes with a price: the gods are watching, and the very act of survival has made him a heretic.
