Xu Yang died.At least,that was supposed to be the end.When he opened his eyes again,he found himself lying in a cold forest,his body covered in wet black fur.He tried to move,but froze when he saw four small paws in front of him.He was a cat.Not just any black cat—a low-level cat demon inside a cultivation novel he had once read. A novel he never finished. Before Xu Yang can even process his new life,a cold voice suddenly sounds in his head. [System activated.] "...What?" [Host has been assigned nine lives.] Xu Yang blinks. [These lives are not blessings.] His smile disappears. "...What do you mean?" [Every life has a destined death.] "Excuse me?" [Death is mandatory.] Xu Yang stares into the distance. "Then why give me nine lives?!" [You may ask again after your first death.] "That's even worse!" And that's how Xu Yang discovers his new life comes with one very unfair condition: He is not allowed to live. Every life has a different path.Every death brings him closer to something he cannot yet understand.And every time he awakens again,the world changes in ways that shouldn't be possible. People forget him. Memories disappear. Events occur that were never written in the novel. Even the System begins behaving strangely. [Warning.] [Original storyline deviation detected.] "Can you fix it?" [No.] "Can you tell me what's happening?" [No.] "Then what are you useful for?" [Survival assistance.] "I'm starting to dislike you." [Acknowledged.] Unfortunately,the System is the least of Xu Yang's problems. The cultivation world is full of sects that hunt demons,immortals who hide their own secrets,and forces that seem to know more about his fate than he does. And somewhere along the way,Xu Yang realizes something is terribly wrong. His deaths aren't random. Someone or something is making sure each life ends exactly when it should.But fate makes one mistake.It leaves Xu Yang with the ability to choose what he does before he dies.So he starts changing things.One small choice then another.Until the story he once knew becomes unrecognizable. And the System gives him a final warning: [Host.] [You were never supposed to survive this long.] Xu Yang looks at the road ahead. "Then I guess Heaven should have written a better ending." Nine lives.Death is guaranteed. But Xu Yang has never been very good at following rules. First time writing fantasy story! Hope you enjoy:)

Lightborn is the centerpiece of the Dawnbringer series of novels in the world of Irándiel, upon the small continent of Telmérion, cold and rugged and yet inhabited since the beginning of human history by the first family of humankind. Though the setting is high fantasy—a work of co-creative imagination fashioning a mythical world with its own history and geography—the plot and the ins-and-outs of the world are deeply realistic, portraying as it were an ancient and long-forgotten past of our own world. Or more precisely, what is offered here is a mythical exposition of the true past that we all share—with very little magic or other fantasy tropes, but with a great deal of “magic,” in other words, a world filled with wonders and terrors of all kinds, from the ancient guardians of the world, the Anaíon, to vicious and deadly beasts such as dragons, eötenga, and vru’ádach. The characters thus find themselves caught in the cosmic battle between light and darkness, between the weakness of love and the power of hate, which casts its rays and its shadows also into the heart of every man and woman. The journey marked out before their feet calls for integrity, fidelity, and heroism, and also something more, something that lies at the heart of every good adventure and every life, and which is the very measure of man. When Eldárien returns to his homeland after many years away—burdened by the awareness that he has perpetrated great evil at the hands of an Empire whose knight he has become—he encounters a continent riven by strife and war and threatened by creatures even more horrifying, born of the very darkness itself. He wishes to lay aside the sword, to leave behind a past marked with violence and bloodshed, but he also longs to aid his people against the forces that endanger their very existence. And such a path he cannot walk alone, facing obstacles both within and without, and he finds given to him both the light that he wishes to serve and friends to share the journey. All the while the land that he loves slides inexorably into conflict, into what shall be known henceforth as the War of Darkness, and he and those to whom he is joined are called upon to share the fate of their people, looking forward in hope to the promised coming of dawn after darkest night.

The universe did not give me a second chance. It gave me a trade. I was bred to be a sacrifice. I was burned alive by the people I loved most. I came back from the ash to reclaim my life, my title, and a power that should have stayed buried. The betrayal is finished. The divorce is final . I am no longer the girl they can cage. But the cost of my freedom was higher than I imagined. The one ally I trusted has vanished. He left a crumbling empire and a hole in my world I cannot fill. The wards protecting my kingdom are failing. I have eight months to reach the final trial or watch everything I fought for collapse. I have to do it under the shadow of the Crown Prince. Thalion thinks I am a monster. He does not trust my blood, my smiles, or my intentions. He is my mandatory escort because he does not trust anyone else to watch me. He is there to document every slip. He is there to decipher the dangerous secret I am hiding. Eight months with a man who watches me with cold, calculated suspicion. The way he looks at me when the shadows grow long is not just wariness. It is a hunger that threatens to burn us both down. I am playing a new game now. This time, I am the one holding the torch.

Elara Hale has spent twenty-three years invisible within the powerful Silvercrest Pack—unmarked, unmated, and forgotten. But when her chosen mate rejects her during the Blood Moon Gathering, an ancient bond awakens, reaching across the mountains to Kael Thorn, the feared Alpha of Blackridge. Drawn to a woman he cannot explain or ignore, Kael discovers a bond that defies everything he knows about fate and mates. As Elara uncovers the truth behind her forgotten existence, she must face the power hidden within her—and the reason the Moon Goddess kept her secret. She was never forgotten. She was hidden.

Young Shiraishi was originally an ordinary genin from Sunagakure, but in an accident, he obtained a special item and a large number of fragmented memories. Through constant exploration and deduction, he successfully transformed the initial skill of high-speed movement from another world into his first ninjutsu. From then on, young Shiraishi embarked on the path of becoming the strongest technician in Sunagakure. Note: The abilities in this story are Pokémon-based. The protagonist will also travel to other worlds, but only for some chapters, and there’s a reason for that. Characters from those worlds will appear much later in the story as well. Enjoy reading.

Zen came to the East-Wing Warriors Academy during his mandatory cooldown period. After years as a war veteran in a world of elemental warfare, the cost of a choice he had made was finally catching up to his body. The choice to become the one this cruel world could always rely on to hold the line when everything else was failing. The very power that gave him the ability to protect others was also taking away his time. Something he had already made peace with. His journey wasn't over yet — not until he had every Authority he was looking for. But he needed to find the people he could pass it on to before the journey ended. Fallen Elementals is an anime-style slow-burn character tragedy about what happens when the strongest person in the room is also the one dying fastest. Expect: • Long-term storytelling. • Character and group dynamics. • Occasional slice of life and comedy. • Ensemble POV & Found family.

Jin Yeong was just another office worker—forgettable, unremarkable, and stuck in a life that never went anywhere. He wasn’t strong. He wasn’t talented. In a world of ambition, he was just… there. Then, the sky cracked open. A voice echoed across the world, mocking humanity’s weakness. A system was given. A chance to survive. People awakened powerful abilities—fire, lightning, super strength. Jin got this: [Limitless Weapon Mastery] "Any weapon you wield is used at its maximum potential." No fire. No magic. No enhancements. Just a simple skill? But soon he and the world will learn a simple truth: It’s not about what you wield. It’s about how you wield it.

"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!

What do we all seek after a long day? Some may say wealth, others comfort… perhaps the embrace of a lover or the warmth of laughter among friends. Yet when everything is stripped away, there is one thing every living being longs for: Rest. To lie upon a soft bed, wrap ourselves in warmth, close our eyes, and surrender to the tranquility of sleep, hoping for blissful dreams to carry us away from the cruelty of reality. But what if sleep was the crueler reality? What if every time your eyes closed, you were dragged into another world? A world not of wonder, but of nightmares. A place where monsters hunt you endlessly and even rest itself becomes impossible. At first, it may sound like fantasy. Another world? An adventure? The dream of every reader. But think deeper. If you spend the day surviving one harsh world, only to spend the night surviving another… then when do you truly rest? When do you heal? When do you live? Such is the fate of Prince Idel . A frail, exhausted royal who wanders the Dream Realm every night for eternity. In one world, he is misunderstood. In the other, he is hated.

In a world where faith itself fuels power, every living thing carries Faith Essence—the spiritual energy behind Awakenings, techniques, blessings and miracles. Most warriors spend years cultivating that power. Samson was never meant to be most warriors. Before his birth, the heavens declared that he would become the one to break Israel’s chains. Born under a Nazarite covenant and watched over by forces far beyond the mortal realm, Samson carries a rare gift that allows him to call directly upon Heaven through his words. Strength. Speed. Heal. When Samson speaks with faith, Heaven answers. But power is never free. At only seven years old, Samson exhausts his Faith Essence protecting his family from a Rank One beast and, with nothing left inside him, asks for something impossible. More. The lion dies. Samson survives. And the quiet life his parents fought to protect begins to unravel. Rumours spread from the small village of Zorah. A child has slain a beast no ordinary human should have survived. The Twelve Mighty Judges of Israel—warriors who have spent years searching for the prophesied Child of Calamity—finally turn their attention toward him. For generations, one prophecy has haunted Israel: When the destruction of Israel becomes imminent and inevitable, the Lord shall send forth a child born from calamity. This Child of Calamity shall mark either the revival—or the annihilation of Israel. Samson does not yet know the prophecy. He does not know that Israel’s greatest warriors are watching him. He does not know that war with the Philistines is approaching. And he certainly does not understand why Heaven seems willing to answer him in ways it answers almost no one else. For now, Samson is simply a boy who loves his family, speaks to God as though speaking to a father, and believes strength should be used to protect others. But reputation has already begun to spread his name. One day, that name will shake nations. One day, Samson of Zorah will stand among the Twelve Judges of Israel. And when the world finally witnesses the full extent of the blessing carried upon his tongue, men will have to decide whether the child sent to break Israel’s chains was truly their salvation— or the calamity the prophecy warned them about.

I am practing my attention span through the continued practice of writing consciously rather than on autopilot about the imaginative world I immerse myself in without rushing myself to explain the details until I can maintain complete empathy throughout an entire meditative session. Each chapter is the length of an entire session, and each progress made in the story for each session will vary depending on how long it takes for me to immerse myself into the moments I write about. Sometimes, I may even repeat some events for the sake of entertaining myself, which that too will be rewritten to include the slight variations to the story, rather than going back and editing what was already written. Think of this as a progress tracker for my own personal use here on Webnovel, rather than a traditional story that’s well thought out.

Victor, an apprentice alchemist who finds himself in the witchers’ world takes in a half-dead Ciri when she collapses outside his cabin. Their encounter shatters his peaceful routine and drags him into a brutal land where survival demands more than good intentions. Relying on alchemy, quick wits, and the harsh lessons of the witcher’s life, Victor faces monsters and escalating dangers as he pursues a bold dream: to reshape this world before it reshapes him.

In the year 2350, Earth changed forever. Portals tore open across the skies, unleashing monstrosities no human had ever faced. But with the monsters came awakening – humans gained power, ranks, and a status screen that defined their place in the new world. Two centuries later, power no longer belonged to politicians, but to the awakened. Damian Valcor, a bored 15-year-old, only cared about passing the entrance exam for an academy. But on the eve of the results, his life was overturned when he awakened the memories of his past life. A past life where he was not an ordinary man… But a ruthless mafia boss. To his shock, the world he now lived in was nearly identical to a novel he had once come across in his previous life. Although he remembered the world, he didn’t remember any of the characters of that novel. But he was sure of one thing. Damian Valcor was not one of the main characters. He was just a random Extra. With underworld cunning, ruthless ambition, and the knowledge of what lies in the future for this world, Damian must make sure to protect his loved ones, the loved ones he never had in his past life. He will make sure to snuff out the existence of any being who dared to endanger them. But for that… He needs to rise as the one pulling the strings. And to do that, he needed… Power. "Power isn’t granted, it’s taken – and I’ve had a lifetime of practice." ________________ Schedule:- 2 Chapter/Day for now.

What would you feel if the last remaining happiness in your life—your sweet, clingy dear sister—was murdered right before your eyes by a few worthless scum? By some bastards who shouldn't even exist in this world? I felt rage. Hatred. At them But more than that… I hated myself. Truly. Why? Because I couldn’t move. Paralyzed from the neck down, I could only watch as she died, as her blood spurted on me. I couldn’t scream. I couldn’t fight. I couldn’t even crawl to her, while her eyes were turning dull. Ah~ now they turned to me. Guess they are going to kill me too. But I don't want to die, at least not when they are alive. I've learned something in this time. In this apocalypse... weakness is a sin. The greatest sin. Here, no rights protect you. Not like they protected us before the apocalypse. No one comes to help you. Friends, neighbours, relatives. NONE. Strength. Personal strength is the only authority that truly matters in this new world. And, If you think this is where my story ends—you’re wrong. Because, [Regression possible: Yes/No?] Guess this is my cheat. I will return. Stronger than before. And I will DEVOUR everything that stands in my way. So then… sayonara, readers.

いつも一人で (Itsumo hitori de - Always Alone) Series Description RATED: MA18+ | 14 Episodes | Supernatural Tragedy In a Tokyo drowning beneath endless rain, two souls exist in parallel hells separated by death itself. Seishin Hōrō-sha dies at fifteen—broken, abandoned, worthless. A truck crushes him on rain-slicked streets after years of bullying, family betrayal, and abuse. Death brings no peace. Ancient folklore condemns him: souls without purpose cannot ascend. Trapped as a wandering spirit, invisible and voiceless, Seishin watches his mother die, his siblings—Daiki, Hana, Kaito, Yukimira, Mei-Suke, Rikunuke, Sorana—scatter into crime and forgetting. None mourn him. The promises they made as children mean nothing now. For two years he drifts, purposeless, fading. Then he sees Ritchi Utsu. Five years old. Wealthy. Suffering behind closed doors in ways that mirror Seishin's own hell. "Independence training" that's systematic torture. Parents demanding perfection, punishing with cruelty. A life of isolation and psychological destruction masked by privilege. Seishin recognizes himself. Feels purpose for the first time since death. For ten years he watches, unable to intervene as Ritchi endures beatings, assault, suicide attempts. A ghost bearing witness to suffering he cannot prevent—until rain changes everything. During storms, barriers thin. Seishin manifests briefly, leaving messages in fog, reaching Ritchi for seconds that prove he's not alone. Their connection deepens. Seishin becomes the invisible guardian, the one constant. But spirits fade. His time is ending. The final year brings violence and desperate choices. Ritchi must survive without his ghost. During one last storm, Ritchi sees Seishin's face, remembers the teenager who walked into traffic ten years ago, recognizes their intertwined fates. Their goodbye transcends death itself. - "The rain remembers everything we try to forget."
