SSS Ranked Talent: I Can Upgrade My Skills Infinitely

He was a desperate survivor in a world devoured by monsters and gods, only to be granted a second chance. Reborn two years in the past, Alvian awakens moments before the launch of the hyper-realistic VR game "gods domain." He knows the horrifying truth: this is no game. In one year, the Convergence will merge worlds, and humanity will be the prey. During character creation, he makes a gamble that defies all logic. He abandons all pre-set classes for the custom class: "SkillBurst"...no starting skills, no stat bonuses...a path to failure for anyone else. As the system processes his suicidal choice, a new alert flashes before his eyes: [The System, recognizing this extreme handicap, has granted a compensatory reward!] [Ding! You have acquired the Sole SSS-Rank Talent: Super Upgrade System!] Instantly, the rules of the game are shattered. His path is no longer one of desperation, but of absolute domination. ———————— [You have learned the Legendary skill (Shadow Weave)!] [Super Upgrade System Activated! The skill has bypassed its limits!] [Congratulations on acquiring [Shadow Weave +2], granting damage immunity and near-perfect uptime!] While other players grind starter mobs, Alvian becomes an invisible phantom, assassinating a high-level exam boss before anyone can even react. While the academy’s elite follow the rules, Alvian exploits his future knowledge to gain legendary skills and world-first achievements. [You have learned the flawed AOE spell (Frost Descent), noted as un-upgradable with a high chance of self-injury.] [Super Upgrade System Activated!] [Congratulations! The self-harm drawback has been REMOVED! The spell now deals catastrophic damage and applies a powerful slowing debuff!] Armed with a talent that breaks the very concept of limits, Alvian’s rise is unstoppable. Dismissed as a cheater by the academy’s top prodigy? He leaves her in the dust, turning her rivalry into conflicted awe and eventually, hard-earned respect. Faced with an unkillable Apostle of a Calamity Demon? He achieves a World-First kill that puts his name on the global stage and reveals a terrifying truth: the apocalypse is coming faster than he ever predicted. Considered a classless anomaly? He conquers the Overlords Academy Championship, forges a legendary weapon, and uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to tear humanity's last bastion apart from the inside. But Alvian’s greatest power isn’t just his talent—it's the knowledge of the horrors to come. He will infiltrate doomsday cults, battle corrupted leaders, and stand against a newly awakened Demon God. Follow Alvian's journey from a traumatized survivor to a world-breaking anomaly. With the Convergence accelerating and humanity's last bastion falling from the sky, will his one-of-a-kind talent be enough to avert the end of the world, or will this second chance be his last?

Reincarnated as Monkey D. Garp at Marineford War: Change the War!

In his past life, Sunny was nothing more than an ordinary young man— a nobody in a peaceful world where heroes existed only in stories. But fate played its cruel trick. One moment he closed his eyes… The next, he opened them to the deafening roar of Marineford— and to the overwhelming presence of a body that wasn’t his. He had become Monkey D. Garp — “The Hero of the Marines.” And this was the exact day the world was about to burn. Sunny knew the truth of this era— Ace’s execution, Luffy’s agony, Whitebeard’s fall, Garp’s heartbreak… Tragedies carved into the memories of millions. But he refuses to be a spectator. He refuses to let this world destroy the people Garp loves. In his previous life, he carried too many regrets. In this life, he swears only one oath: “My family will live. No matter the cost.” With the knowledge of the entire story in his mind, Sunny now sees the world with terrifying clarity— the rotten justice of the World Government, the cruelty of the Celestial Dragons, and the blood-soaked lies that hold this era together. He is no longer the loyal soldier who wavered between duty and kin. No longer the aging hero bound by rules and orders. He is the man who will shatter fate with his own fists. This time… Akainu will fall beneath his iron punch. Ace will walk away from the scaffold alive. Luffy will rise without losing anyone he loves. And the world— The entire world— will learn what TRUE JUSTICE is when delivered by the Iron Fist of a man reborn. (Summaries can’t hold the full hype. The real storm begins inside.)

Eldritch Lullaby

Eldritch horrors, anomalies, one might say are considered by most, if not all, to be evil. However, I would not say this is true, for out there in the emptiness of the void resides a being. People consider him, or should I say “IT”. Ageless, the beginning of sound, or to be more exact, Endless. Born from the first sound produced when the cosmos was created, and with his creation came a name that traveled across the void: Eranthis Rauk Imu Kôrath, or as he likes to call himself, “Erik.” Countless years pass, and a whispered hum flows through the void. There, but not there at the same time. If you ever manage to hear it, you might notice that this hum is different from a static roll. It is more like the sound of a tune: soft yet captivating, one that entices you to sit down and enjoy the melody. But this is not some cheerful beat one might expect. No, it feels lonely… almost sad to listen to. __________________________ This is a story about an eldritch being, born at the beginning of time from the first sound to ever be produced. Erik, a lonely fellow, has lived countless years alone in the emptiness of the void with nothing but his voice and a guitar he conjured after scouring through planets and civilizations from music “prayers” that flow to him no matter the distance. In his everlasting loneliness, he meets someone people of the modern age will recognize. She introduces herself as an Endless. Her name: Lady Death. Through her, Erik decides to venture out of his lonely life and try something new. This is where the adventure truly begins, as his music will finally be heard by countless others for the first time. I am writing this as my first novel. Understand that I am not good at writing at all. Hell, even this introduction took me an hour to come up with, and I still think it needs work. I just decided that since I have read almost every good and upcoming fan fiction on this site, I might as well try my own. Who knows? It might be a banger. This work is inspired by the fanfic Re:Life with Karmic Gacha (Modern Family). This is only inspired by that fanfic; I do not plan to use any of its ideas or plots. I just really liked it and wanted to put my own twist on things. The only thing I might be using is the format for writing song scenes. The world Erik will go to is a mashed-up world of different anime, TV shows, and movies, with some real-world characters as well. There will be a harem; however, I might keep it to two or three girls, depending on what you readers want. If you really want a couple more, I can add them, but no more than five. Like I said, I’m not great at writing, but I want to challenge myself, so why not? I’ll try my best to make sure no girl in the harem is forgotten, like in so many other novels. Chatgpt is used for spelling and grammar mistakes. Even when I used it for this intro I took out punctuation I did not like such as this ( — ) whatever the hell that is supposed to mean. If you guys see any mistake let me know in the comments for that chapter. __________________________ ALL CHARACTERS, TV SHOWS, MOVIES, ANIME, OR ANY OTHER PROPERTIES BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS. I DO NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR ANY OF THEM. The only things I own are the main character, Erik, and any OC characters that appear. Hope you have a good read.

Survival, Dragons, and Other Poor Life Choices

The Second Chance He Didn't Ask For Knox Ashford died on Earth, hit by a truck while carrying a coffee he didn't even want. After spending over a year as a walking ghost following his girlfriend's fatal overdose, it was almost a relief. Waking up in Shadowfen? That was the complicated part. Reborn as a lesser demon in a murder-swamp where everything wants to kill him, Knox gets a System, a 12% survival probability, and absolutely no instruction manual. Armed with gallows humor, half-remembered survival shows, and spite, he starts learning the hard way: which water won't poison you, which monsters you can outrun, and how to sleep in a tree hollow without being eaten. Then he finds the egg. A dying Shadow Dragon hatchling, abandoned and alone, her loneliness mirrors his own so perfectly it hurts. Knox saves her by pouring everything he has into their bond, and suddenly he's not just surviving for himself anymore. He's a parent to a tiny, fierce dragon who tries to eat his boots and trusts him absolutely. With help from judgmental fairies, a living swamp that might be a goddess, and a dragon who thinks everything is either food or a toy, Knox begins building something he thought he'd lost: a home. A family. A reason to keep going. But Shadowfen has noticed him. And when an ancient dungeon calls, promising power he desperately needs, Knox must choose: stay safe in the home he's built, or risk everything for the strength to protect it. Five weeks in hell. A complete transformation. And the discovery that broken things can be reforged into something stronger. What started as survival becomes legend. A LitRPG progression fantasy about grief, found family, and a man learning that the opposite of depression isn't happiness, it's purpose. Featuring: a demon who can't say no to feature requests, a dragon with attachment issues, fairies who weaponize interior design criticism, and enough emotional damage to fuel an entire power system. Perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Beware of Chicken, and Primal Hunter, if they had more therapy and beard-based comedy. ┬┴┬┴┤ ͜ʖ ͡°) ├┬┴┬┴ Will post daily! Powerstones and comments welcome... I’m watching you, and I’ll adjust accordingly. ┬┴┬┴┤ω・)

My Father is a Peerless Powerhouse

To go against an unstoppable force, you need an immovable object. "Haotian, always remember, whether it be a Great Emperor or Immortal Emperor, your father is the only backing you'll ever need." ---------- There are countless characters in a eastern fantasy novel, from the heroic protagonists to the villainous antagonists, from the talented supporting characters to the arrogant side characters. The most dazzling existences in a eastern fantasy novel are naturally the protagonists who rose from rock-bottom to a position as high as the sky and the antagonists who were born with a silver spoon, always trying to bring down the protagonist only to lose everything in the end. Some antagonists go against fate to change their destiny, surpassing the protagonists to become supreme beings revered by all, while some protagonists descent down into the path of evil and tyranny, becoming beings even more terrifying than the original antagonists. There are even instances where supporting characters and side characters, to change their fates, end up in the shoes of protagonists and antagonists. But there is one more kind of character in every eastern fantasy. A background character, who only has a few appearances and is usually the lackey of a third rate antagonist. Such a character only exists to get slapped in the face by the newly risen protagonist, and is later on abandoned by the antagonist. And it seems that I, Ji Tianyu, have become the father of one such character. Fortunately, I possess the Peerless Powerhouse System, and as long as my son offends powerful experts, I can obtain the same cultivation base as them. In addition to that, I can also exchange for talents, treasures, techniques, and many other precious things with Fortune Points obtained from my son suppressing those Children of Destiny, the protagonists and antagonists. A background character does not have any cheats, no great backing, and neither heaven defying talent. But what if the father of one such background character is a peerless powerhouse who's origins are unknown and limits nowhere to be found? ---------- My name is Ji Haotian, and I'm the young master of the Ji Mansion in a small county city of the Great Jing Dynasty. I have never seen my mother, and my father's origins are mysterious, which makes him a respectable figure in the city. Lately, my father has been acting strange ever since the former young master of the Su Mansion regained his cultivation. However, one day, he told me something that shattered my entire worldview. As it turns out, my father is a peerless powerhouse! ---------- Author's Note - English is not my first language, and the cover image is not mine. I'm also not a native of China, so there might be some errors.
