Lord Dragon Shapeshifter

But he doesn't mind, for he likes eating pebbles. In fact, Artuse likes eating just about everything. Dragons are a prideful race who strive to grow mightier and live carefree lives. They teach their younglings that all other races are nothing but wretches. That the younglings should train and learn to be strong. But Artuse is content as long as his stomach is full. Occasionally, a blue screen calling itself an Interface flashes before his eyes, identifying his bloodline as Gluttony. His bloodline may not be as simple as most assume, but Artuse, however, pays it no mind. His days are peaceful, and he has no desire to grow stronger. That is, until he meets a so-called wretched human who changes his view of the world... . . . A story slightly inspired by How to Train Your Dragon. A LitRPG story with both lighthearted moments and darker ones too.

Project Euthanasia

Echoes of the Silent Sky

Year 2147. The Sun stops—not dead, not dimmed, but *paused*. Fusion ceases for 11 minutes and 43 seconds every 72 hours. A silence with a pattern. A signal. Astrophysicist Dr. Ella Vayne decodes the sun's tremors and discovers the frequency matches human brain theta waves. Not coincidence. Something is broadcasting to Earth—or waking something *in* Earth. Recruited into a black-ops mission, Ella and ex-special forces operative Kasen Reed are sent to a remote Martian research base. The scientists there report footsteps in the dead of the base—footsteps that echo from 300 meters below, where satellite scans show only empty rock. What they find buried beneath Mars isn't a ship. It's a **memory vessel**—a relic built by a civilization that encoded its final moments into a structure that responds to human neural patterns. And Ella's brainwaves? They sync perfectly with the sun's silence. They always have. She wasn't chosen. She was *made* for this. But someone on Earth is building a tower—a transmitter. They don't want to receive the signal. They want to **reply**. The question isn't who sent the silence. It's who—or what—will answer back.

The Rise of the Unbound Sovereign Sect

Ten thousand years ago, the Ascended Masters abandoned this realm, leaving behind a saturated, chaotic wasteland. Now, the remnants—towering, violent giants bloated on stagnant Qi—rule the ruins of the golden age. They don't cultivate. They just exist, trapped in an endless, brutal loop of survival and stagnation. Julian didn't reincarnate with a magical system, a heavenly physique, or a mysterious master. He fell from the void as a hundred-and-twenty-pound mortal with a degree in Ethnobotany, a pocket of stainless steel acupuncture needles, and a terrifying realization: he is the weakest thing in a world of predators. To the giants, he is just a rabbit. A piece of soft meat. To survive, Julian must prove he is a useful tool, but not too useful. He can't fight them, and the tribe only wants to use him, but Julian didn’t dedicate his life to studying the lost arts of cultivation for nothing. Using forgotten mortal medicine to bypass overloaded meridians, he begins to systematically hack the anatomy of the world's monsters to forge his own foundation. But the giants are a dead end. Clinical, selfish, and obsessed with their own survival, they will never see Julian as anything more than an expendable asset. When forced to choose between the familiar cruelty of humanoid masters and the terrifying, toxic unknown of the deep wild, Julian walks into the dark. He chooses the monsters. Stepping into the domain of a dying, Sovereign-tier horror, Julian leaves humanity behind. He won't just hack his way to a foundation; he will engineer his own faction from the ground up. Julian is going to build the Unbound Sovereign Sect, and he won't use a single human to do it. <Author’s Note / Disclaimer:> The medical, anatomical, and acupuncture theories discussed in this novel are based on real-world traditional practices and botanical science. However, they are heavily dramatized for the sake of survival fantasy. Do not attempt to use two-inch surgical steel needles to vent your friend's stagnant Qi, treat snake bites with random ferns, or perform deep-tissue Shenshu point demolition on yourself. It will not give you the physical mass of a giant; it will just put you in the hospital. Read the fiction, leave the needles to the professionals.

SAIKON

Ryo Kenzaki was good at being invisible. Just another high schooler, keeping his head down and waiting for each day to end. Then a star fell from the sky. When Ryo pulls a dying woman from the crater it leaves behind, he learns the world he knows is already breaking. Beyond it lies the Hunting Realm—a place where monsters are born from fallen Hunters, and something is beginning to push through. Hunted by a creature he cannot understand, Ryo is dragged to a sanctuary between worlds and forced into a choice that was never really his: take up a Kizugami, a living blade forged from wounds, or die before dawn. But the blade doesn’t obey. It judges. As the weapon begins to search his soul, Ryo is pulled into a war he never asked to join—one shadowed by an impossible Eye in the sky, a relentless Kaimon on his trail, and an ending that may already have been decided. Ryo never wanted to be a Hunter. But if becoming one is the only way to protect what remains, he’ll have to answer a far more dangerous question: When the world strips everything from him, can he still stand as himself once more?

Anonymous' Changes: Essence

In the year 2221, the world of Xirod stands under the control of a powerful Federation that lets the government value obedience over individuality. Its citizens are identified by numbers rather than names, while propaganda convinces them that everyone possesses the same “essence.” Beneath the promise of order and prosperity, however, corruption, inequality, environmental destruction, and a failing education system threaten the lives of ordinary people. For years, the speaker accepts this reality as normal—until growing alienation and unanswered questions begin to challenge everything they have been taught to believe. As the contradictions behind the Federation's promises become impossible to ignore, the narrator discovers that silence does not necessarily mean agreement, and obedience does not always mean peace. What begins as one person's quiet awakening gradually inspires others to question the system they once feared. As citizens confront the truth and those entrusted with maintaining order face their own moral dilemmas, Xirod approaches a turning point that could change its future forever. Essence is a dystopian story about identity, freedom, and the courage to question what has long been accepted as truth. Through the transformation of individuals and an entire society, it explores metanoia—a profound change in one's mind and perspective—and asks what it truly means to be human.
