Shell: Tower Climbing in a Monster's Body

The Zenith erupted from the earth—monsters, demons, and alien horrors pouring out of a million Towers, wiping out half of humanity in a single year. My parents vanished in the chaos. I didn't. When the survivors finally got the power to fight back, they got fireballs, blades of light, and heroic bloodlines. I got a corpse. [SYSTEM NOTICE] Ability Unlocked: Carcass Possession No spells. No weapons. My class lets me climb inside the bodies of the monsters I kill and wear their skin — their strength, their claws, their nightmares — like armor. Everyone who saw it called it a trash roll. A joke of a class for a kid who'd never survive his first Tower. They were wrong. The Zenith reached the peak of evolution before they broke the world. Now every corpse I leave behind is a weapon I get to keep. I'm going to climb their Towers, wear their bodies, and take back everything they took from me — one stolen shell at a time. What to Expect: ⚔ Unique LitRPG system — no mana, no magic, just Carcass Possession 🦴 Stats, tiers, and a growing "Vessel Library" of monster bodies to wear 🏙 Grim, grounded post-apocalyptic setting — Grey District, guild politics, black markets 🤝 Alliance-building over chosen-one power fantasy — trust is earned, not given 📈 Slow-burn progression that rewards patience, precision, and clever tactics over raw stats 🐜 Body-horror flavored transformation — possession has a cost, and it isn't clean 👁 A mysterious, ancient rival who's been doing this far longer than the MC has 📅 Upload Schedule: 2 Chapters Daily at 9:00 AM & 7:00 PM EDT (3:00 PM & 1:00 AM CEST).

Odium Incarnate

Synopsis FBI Agent. Closet Sociopath. Giant. All of these words describe SAC Imai. A man - no, a thing, unleashed onto the word to exact his hate filled vengeance on the proxies of his suffering. Ready to use any means - legal or otherwise - to bring the criminal element to 'justice'. And not the hollow victory of imprisonment. He would bring the only true measure of punishment to greatest amount of people possible. Death - painful if possible. Not just in its physicality but in the sheer destructiveness wrought onto society expertly hidden from prying eyes. Combat. Manipulation. Murder. All key disciplines of warfare. A war fought by a one-man army in the shadows of US law enforcement. /// Introduction - Justice is truly blind, O.I. Hate. It is powerful - it endures the longest amid the dying stars of human emotion. Hate. Utter contempt for one's own race. How far would someone go. How terrible their resolve. How deep the machinations. To extract their revenge - satiate that cool fire - against the object of that burning hate. What heights would such a being reach - when they abhor the sky that hangs overhead and the earth beneath their feet. Their weakness shackles them. Their humanity binds them. Not a wildfire, no, it would be slow. Painful. Equal. An instrument of justice become odium incarnate. A grudge so deep it would consume the soul. A predator unleashed upon ‘polite’ society. How far would such a being go? To make them feel true fear.

"The King is a Terror of Kaalm, an evil being that destabilizes Kaalam's harmony." Master had said to him. Would he kill the King like Master says and stabilize Kaalam? Or would he choose to follow Anya who saved his life?

Ascension Of The Throne

Imagine dying on Earth and waking up mid-chase—hunted by armed guards and a man riding a horse big enough to be a monster... Well, that's what happens to Edric. Survival is Edric Veyra’s only priority… until he learns the truth. He didn’t reincarnate into a nobody. He woke up as Edric Veyra, last heir to a fallen house that once helped found the kingdom itself. A house now reduced to whispers, half-remembered stories, and something people would rather forget. Before he can make sense of it, a System activates—less a blessing, more a forced tutorial. Fragments of the original Edric’s memories flood in, incomplete and unsettling, as if someone tore pages out of his past. Along with them comes a weapon that shouldn’t exist anymore: a rune-engraved flintlock capable of firing elemental shots, a relic of techniques long buried. Hunted by beasts, criminals, and forces that seem far too interested in whether House Veyra stays dead, Edric is left with one question that refuses to let him run forever: What really happened to House Veyra—and who made sure it fell? To find the answer, he’ll need to grow stronger, form uneasy alliances, and survive long enough to uncover a truth powerful enough to erase a founding pillar of the nation. What to Expect: -Weak to Strong Progression -'Lite' litrpg System w/ Minimal Stats -Emphasis on Party Dynamics -No Harem -1500+words per chapter -Smooth pacing

Artist Leveling - Summoning Gods With Art

Roderick Vale is a failure. In a family of Gravity mages, his only talent is turning expensive linseed oil into charcoal-smudged garbage. His brother hates him, his mom pities him, and his "masterpiece" of a noble knight looks like a stickman with a stroke. Then the stickman stepped off the canvas. It’s 2D, it smells like wet paint, and it makes the sound of tearing flesh. When the System greets Roderick, it doesn't give him fireballs or flight. It gives him the power to bring his own neurological disasters to life. Gildenfall isn't ready for an army of sentient scribbles, and honestly, neither is Roderick.

JJK: Starting with the Dog and Dragon Talismans

Levi drops into Shibuya on the worst night imaginable—with no cursed energy, no sorcerer pedigree, and two relics from another world. The Dog Talisman makes him unaging and nearly impossible to kill. The Dragon Talisman turns every strike into explosive dragon fire. Unfortunately, Sukuna has awakened, and Levi has landed directly in the path of the King of Curses. A gray mist soon links him to other Levis: Jujutsu Levi in the cursed battlefield, Night City Levi with cyberware and street-born instincts, Wizarding Levi with spellcraft, and Marvel-Vought Levi surviving a world of heroes, corporations, and monsters. Their memories and powers bleed together, merging talisman magic, cursed energy, cybernetics, and sorcery into a path no canon script can predict. As cursed spirits, ancient sorcerers, and hidden masterminds close in, Levi refuses to follow the doomed timeline. He will exploit every loophole, protect the people he chooses, and discover how far an immortal body can evolve when he learns to breathe dragon fire.

The Crimson Mageless

In the kingdom of Ashbourne, magic is everything in this world. For seventeen-year-old Alistar Fenwick, that's a major problem. Every test he has ever taken has returned the same result: Mana Detection: Negative. In a world where power determines worth, Alistar is an anomaly, an outcast, a young man seemingly incapable of using even the simplest of spell. Yet against all logic, he receives an acceptance letter from the kingdom's most prestigious school, a place that trains mages, scholars, and future heroes of the kingdom. As he prepares to leave behind the quiet life of the Crimson Tavern, Alistar finds himself haunted by small fragments of the past: recurring dreams, an old scar that shouldn't even exist, letters from a childhood friend he hasn't seen even in years, and a crimson moon that makes something weird within him. Meanwhile, far beyond the academy's walls, ancient forces begin to move. Secrets buried for over a decade are starting to resurface, and the truth behind Alistar's existence may be far more dangerous than anyone realizes. At Crimson Academy, where every student is expected to wield magic, one boy with none at all may become the centre of a mystery that threatens to change everything. Some mistakes are meant to be corrected. Others reshape the world.

Reilfear

Individuals vanish. Cities collapse. The sky shatters like a pane of glass. And an inexplicable, luminescent blue phrase lights up: "This world has been written." The entire world began to be systematically erased, but as for him, he was unaffected, like an overlooked error the world failed to delete.

The House Of Salvador

On the continent of Af-Ri, nine kingdoms stand beneath one sovereign authority. Nine Salvador siblings. Nine rulers. Nine kingdoms. All bound under one man — Kaelion Salvador. They do not call him King. Because there has not been one since the age of Set. The throne sits empty by law. Only the one who awakens the Cry of the Ancestors may ascend it. Not by vote. Not by bloodline alone. By power acknowledged by the world itself. For two centuries the Cry has been silent. Until the night a child is born. His eyes bleed. The air fractures. Ancient wards tremble. And beyond Af-Ri's sacred Seal, in the dark where no living soul has stood in a hundred and fifty years, something that has been waiting finally stirs. Not in fear. In recognition. The Creeds were never extinct. They were patient. Watching. Enduring. Waiting for the return of what they were built to destroy. And one child's first breath has just told them — across every mile of stone and silence between them — that he exists. The nine rulers of Af-Ri must now stand as one. Because this is no longer a question of succession. It is survival. This is not the story of a boy growing stronger. It is the story of a continent that must hold together long enough for a king to be ready — and an enemy that has waited two centuries learning exactly how to make sure he never gets the chance. The Cry has spoken. The world has heard it. What comes next has been planned for longer than any of them have been alive
