Hero of Darkness

CrimsonWolfAuthor
Elric's life had been nothing short of a nightmare since his childhood. He was constantly bullied at school, detested and ignored by his family, and left with nobody to care whether he lived or died. The accumulated loneliness and suffering from decades pushed him into a severe depression, and he ultimately decided to take his life’s final decision… Suicide. One day, Elric's soul heard a voice calling out to him. "Wake up, Elric. I am the God of Darkness, and I'm here to give you another chance at life." To the God of Darkness, Elric replied with only two words… "Fuck off!" Now forced with the possibility of a new life despite his unwillingness… Elric must decide whether to become a puppet or forge a new destiny with his own hands. Will he overcome his traumatic past, or will he squander yet another chance at life?

The Legacy - this ain't just another isekai novel

Okay, so I died. And—surprise!—got reborn in some fantasy world. The awesome part? I can stop time! Like, freeze it. The uh... less awesome part? I'm surrounded by these ridiculously OP people who are overprotective on, like, an expert level. Seriously, they're smothering me. On top of that, apparently I'm this famous "Legacy" from some prophecy nobody bothered to actually explain properly. And somehow, I always end up tangled with shady-ass characters. So yeah, amidst all the chaos kicking off, I'm just trying real hard not to let anyone know I'm anything but a normal kid (spoiler: I'm totally not), all while figuring out how these powers even work. This is either gonna get real interesting, or everything's about to go straight to hell. Seriously though, this ain't just another isekai novel.

Ancient Seal: The City of No Return

After school, sixteen-year-old Aarav Verma was just trying to test a strange feeling—an urge that tugged at him since he received a royal locket from an old woman during a class trip to Jodhpur. So, he climbs to his rooftop… And begins to float. High above the city, past even the clouds, something awakens in him. A strange power. A force inside. And then—the sky opens. A spiral of green energy forms above him, crackling like a storm. Within moments, he's pulled into it… And hurled into a different world. He crashes onto the rooftop of a massive ancient haveli, weathered and majestic—clearly untouched by time for centuries. Jodhpur still surrounds him, but it feels twisted, older. The year is 1880. Inside the haveli, haunting murals stare down from crumbling walls. One painting—of a girl in an Anarkali dress—seems almost alive. A strange red cloth tied on an iron gate pulses with energy, as if warning him to stay away. He runs. But the deeper he goes, the stranger things become. In a shadowed alley, he finds a staircase leading to a tattoo shop—inside, a famous actress sits, trapped in time, selling mysterious ink. She warns him: “You can’t leave this city. Not unless the royal bloodline allows it.” Here, royal families rule like shadow governments, their secrets buried in ancient laws and spiritual power. The people call it Heaven, but Aarav knows—this place is more a curse than paradise. Now, Aarav must uncover the secret of the locket, the painting, and his own powers before he’s trapped forever in a city that remembers everything—and lets no one go.

The tale of the Ghost King - the seventh prince -

Ghost King Zhi Cheng is tired of his eight-hundred-year reign. To gain his freedom, he orchestrates betrayal and intrigue himself and is unceremoniously deposed. But his new, unbound life comes to an abrupt end when he not only stumbles from one problem to the next in the mortal world, but also meets the martial artist Qing lai. Because the self-proclaimed pacifist in white is more than meets the eye. As the former ghost king can't refuse the handsome man anything anyway, the two soon become a mismatched team that not only has to solve the problems they have created themselves. On the one hand, there are the inconveniences that Zhi Cheng has so carelessly brought with him from the spirit realm, as well as the tensions and intrigues of the mortal world. And also the one or other looming relationship drama. Trigger warning This work contains: visual staging of violence, blood, sex and sexual assault. Swear words, same-sex love. Handling of weapons, including in magical form. Murder, manslaughter and the normal dose of intoxicants such as drugs, tobacco and enchantments. Human lives are more likely to be regarded as collateral damage here. When spirits, gods and demons fight each other, you shouldn't attach too much importance to that. Trust, a stable environment, mental health and spiritual mentality are also reduced to rubble. Friends, family, cities and entire regions. Have fun :D

Immortal by Her Love

In a world where power dictates life, Chirag was born without it—an anomaly among humans, who are already weaker than demons and rulers.

With her love, Chirag’s strength grows, and he begins to unlock powers that defy the laws of nature. As Chirag’s abilities soar, he finds himself caught in a battle between the rulers, the gods, and the demons. To claim his place in this brutal world, he must confront the truth of his immortality and the price of love—a price that could destroy everything he holds dear. In the end, it’s not just his power that will be tested, but his heart. Can love truly transcend the boundaries of life and death?

Cultivation starts with picking up attributes

Tian Shen was your average unordinary guy—living a monotonous life. One day, fate (or rather, Truck-kun) decided to grant his wish… by sending him flying into another world at 120 km/h. When he woke up again, he found himself in the body of an outer disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. His talent? Nonexistent. His reputation? Of a molester’s. Just when he thought he was doomed to be cannon fodder, a golden screen appeared before him. 『Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have activated the Attribute System.』 『Congrats host, you killed 5th stage of body refining realm cultivator and gained Qi points ×30.』 『Congrats host, you killed 1th stage of Qi refining realm cultivator and gained Luck points ×80.』 『Absorbed white Attribute orb, gained 1-star sword.』 『Absorbed golden Attribute orb, gained divine Artifact.』 Tian Shen: “…Huh?” Armed with his new system, Tian Shen embarks on a ridiculous journey—casually strolling through battlefields to collect fallen attributes, dodging cultivation technique manuals (which drop on his head), and even trolling young masters into fighting just to farm their stats. But as he levels up in the most absurd way possible, he soon realizes… is he cheating too much? Because now, heavenly tribulations, ancient sects, and hidden experts are all eyeing him. Tian Shen: I am favored by the AUTHOR of this book, you lots can't even handle my shoes. *Rumble**Crackle* Again Tian Shen: I-i was just joking, don't take it seriously. **BOOM**
