"Rosse... huh..." Rosse stared blankly at the boy in the mirror, momentarily at a loss for words. The boy in the mirror had a smooth and fair face, well-defined features, exuding a sense of cold and stern aura. His deep, dark eyes shimmered with captivating light, and his whole body radiated a noble temperament. He had transmigrated, or perhaps it was memory awakening, and directly became a Celestial Dragon. ’This is just, way too good!’ However, his identity was a bit awkward. His name was Jaygarcia Rosse, a standard Celestial Dragon name, and his grandfather was Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the current Five Elders, and also the first Five Elder to be removed in the original One Piece. ——— [Ding!

In the small mountain community of Raccoon City, rumors and stories from officers, conspiracy theorists, or corporate employees have vanished overnight. It all began under the nose of the unsuspecting, operating in plain sight of the public, covered by corruption and apathetic minds. Raccoon City used to be a diverse industrial town, turned into a corporate powerhouse after Umbrella's arrival and the buyouts of local businesses, all except for Slade Industries, originally an industrial machining company turned pharmaceutical technologies manufacturer over the course of the decade after Umbrella's partnership deal was pushed following the family CEO's circumstantial death. Umbrella Pharmaceuticals of North America, in light of scandalous stories, was beginning to be shaken to its core. Yet Slade Industries, one of Umbrella's top providers and business partners for pharmaceutical technologies, has gone unquestioned and unscathed. The Slade family, a long line dating back to Raccoon since it was a small mining town, had receded from the public eye after a family incident involving the youngest son rocked the town, unbeknownst to the fact it was just a series of events that had been unfolding in the city for decades under blind eyes. Now a member of the family has been forced back home; Atticus Slade, coined by Raccoon's local media as the "Arklay Butcher", must face what he has been running from: his past mistakes and the horrors being hidden from the public eye of Raccoon as the misdeeds of Umbrella Pharmaceuticals and Slade Industries begin to catch up. Soon the city and its inhabitants must face the horrors they couldn't imagine, horrors like those spoken about by the surviving members of the now disbanded S.T.A.R.S. division months prior, on the grounds of Umbrella's Spencer Estate on the outskirts of Raccoon City itself. Though more sinister things lie beneath Raccoon Cities streets than just Umbrella's nefarious projects, likely across the entire country itself. This is purely a hobby I do in my free time; critique is openly welcome. Uploads in between chapters may be slow, for that I apologize I'm advance.

Little did they know that this seemingly innocent game would soon take a sinister turn. The sun began to set, casting long shadows across the forest floor, and an eerie silence settled in the air. The children selected one of their own, a timid girl named Emily, to be the seeker. With a nervous smile, she closed her eyes and began counting, her voice echoing through the trees. As the seconds ticked by, the remaining children scattered into the darkness, seeking out the perfect hiding spots. Emily finished counting and opened her eyes, ready to find her playmates. But as she ventured further into the forest, a sense of foreboding gripped her. The once familiar surroundings seemed twisted and distorted, as if the very essence of the forest had turned against her. The trees, once tall and majestic, now appeared gnarled and twisted, their branches reaching out like skeletal arms. The moon's pale light filtered through the thick canopy, casting an otherworldly glow on the forest floor. An unsettling chill ran down Emily's spine, but she pressed on, determined to find her friends. "I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com”

Centuries ago, humanity waged war against the monsters that tried to consume the world — a war that ended in a fragile victory… for some of those creatures were never slain, only hidden among humans. The Suzuma Clan was among the first to bear the burden of hunting them down, generation after generation. But Kamino Suzuma, the clan’s forgotten third son, never learned a single art of his lineage — until he meets a mysterious new student at school who changes his life forever.

Traversing to another world, Lin En is captured right from the start. The captor is the antagonist princess from the original work, intending to control him by using him for hypnosis experiments. In a critical moment, Lin En comes up with a quick-witted plan, feigning the success of the experiment and deceiving her with his acting skills. But this was only a temporary measure. Because in the original story, her ending is very tragic, and none of her associates meet good ends. Hence, Lin En must pretend to be under the hypnosis while secretly being ready to flee at any moment. But gradually things start to take an unexpected turn. ... The Princess's Diary [The experiment was a success!] [As the sole specimen, I've decided to keep him by my side.] [Due to the curse mark on my face, I am loathed by the public, but he says I'm beautiful.] [I'm happy because people tell the truth when hypnotized.] [Alone with him, I impulsively kissed him.] [The feeling was strange and made me lose my composure, fortunately, he won't retain any memory of it after the hypnosis is lifted.] [So, it's okay to be a bit bolder, right?]

In a world where people wield mysterious powers known as SIN, we follow a boy named Axel. Unlike most, he carries no gift—only questions about his past. His search for answers leads him deep into an empire ruled by Sinners, where secret orders and even deities shape the fate of this cursed world. What begins as a personal quest soon drags Axel into the very origin of SIN itself. Through ambition and betrayal — love and loss — his journey only carries a final truth. Will Axel rise to uncover the truth behind this cursed world, or will it consume him before he’s ready to face it?

Falsely accused of rape at nineteen, a boy’s life is cut short by violence and betrayal. His death, steeped in helplessness and rage, should have ended there—until his soul is pulled into the depths of a forgotten cave, where an ancient totem waits. The totem was once powerless stone, but in the 19th century it was worshiped by a lust-obsessed heir who twisted wealth into an occult empire. Betrayed and killed in his own lair, his blood fed the idol, awakening it with sentience and hunger. His preserved body was left sealed within, waiting for a successor. Now, centuries later, that successor has arrived. Reborn in the 19th-century boy’s vessel, the protagonist becomes the new cult master. The totem binds him to survival: unless he feeds it sin, his soul will be consumed. To grow its power—and his own—he must cultivate a secret society of followers who live normal lives by day but bear hidden sigils at night, committing perverse and wicked acts as offerings. Their sins feed the totem, and in return, they earn “sin points” to buy unnatural blessings: youth, wealth, power, and more. The totem grants the boy two soul-forged weapons: Origin, a weapon that can take any form and devour souls, and Prison, the cult’s cave-bound reservoir of damned spirits. With them—and two chosen guardians bound from among his cultists—he wages war in the shadows. But the world beyond is not silent. Hidden cults, night creatures, and dark orders covet the totem’s power. Holy forces rise in opposition, some righteous, others corrupted by zeal. Trapped between light and dark, the boy must navigate a double life: an ordinary mask in society, and a feared master of sin in secret. Every choice pushes him further from humanity. To resist is to die. To submit is to become the monster that once destroyed countless lives. As the cult grows, so too does the totem’s voice—the echo of the original lustful boy, whispering temptations from within. In a world of hidden battles and forbidden desires, the protagonist walks a razor’s edge between survival, vengeance, and damnation.

In a world where every story ever written collides fantasy kingdoms, futuristic cities, steampunk worlds, and modern realities the line between fiction and existence is shattered. The Narrator, a malevolent being claiming to be both Author and God, has rewritten reality itself into a twisted game of survival. Heroes, antiheroes, villains, and legends from every genre are forced into a brutal arena where alliances and betrayals determine their fate. From a blind assassin who moves like a ghost to a young mecha pilot wielding unmatched ingenuity, and even a reincarnated warrior cursed to repeat their battles, the protagonists span every imaginable realm. Yet no amount of power or skill can rival the Narrator’s omnipotent control or the devastating truth that they are nothing more than fictional pawns. As alliances crumble and the bodies pile up, Yara a lone survivor left broken by the sacrifices of her new comrades must rise as the unlikely beacon of hope. But in a game where even gods are mere puppets, can Yara defy the very hands that write her story?

**Infiltrate the Quinns. Gather intel. Exterminate them.* Go in. Get out. Simple.

When the world is scarred by the ancient evil of Rakshasas, a new hierarchy threatens to topple a fragile order. The Awakeners that wield powerful Astral constructs and boast superhuman might, have eclipsed the Inborns; those born with inherent, yet static, abilities and overtaken them. The once arrogant Inborns now face widespread prejudice, their power deemed inferior, their past deeds and history unforgotten. Sanit is an Inborn with immense strength and healing. Or at least he was, before his return to Earth in a new form, armed with the accumulated wisdom and might of ages spent in a nightmarish, Rakshasa-infested realm. Having faced millennia of brutal struggle and forged alongside a mysterious celestial being, he is no longer the quiet young boy who desperately sought to avoid conflict. Now consumed by a very personal undertaking, he will shed his past self and confront the intertwined struggles of his world. Which is but one of many realms. This is a saga of Realm, Race, and Power, where the lines between Inborns, Awakeners, Humans, Devas, and Asuras blur. As Sanit navigates a brutal journey riddled with gore, murder, and moral compromise, he must confront the ultimate question: Who is truly worthy of wielding power, ascending to the highest realms, and championing a race – even if it means sacrificing one's very humanity?

On Royal Road, Saylor Cogni believed in kindness—until the world tore that belief apart. Falsely accused, abandoned by everyone he trusted, and left to rot in silence, Saylor’s faith in humanity dies with a single cruel message: > “This is what you get for trusting people.” But death isn’t the end. It’s the beginning. Dragged into the Broken Field, a nightmarish realm suspended over an abyss of black mist, Saylor is one of fifteen chosen in a cruel survival lottery known only as The Dead Game. Above them spins the Broken Wheel—a demented machine that grants players devastating powers at random, from blood-chains and kinetic detonations to reality-bending spells. Most fight to survive. Some fight to ascend. But Saylor’s ability is different—a glitched Mimetic Spin that copies others’ powers, adapts to their evolution… and becomes something far worse. As the players begin to fall and the gods begin to descend—fallen champions twisted into monstrous kings of power—Saylor uncovers a deeper truth: > The Game doesn’t crown victors. It corrupts them into gods. And he may be next. You can find this story on Royal Road as well
