He has woken up to find that his world has been integrated into the multiverse, and as a result has been transformed into a fantastical place filled with monsters, loot, quests, and most thrilling of all, magic.

Convergence: Eclipse is a LitRPG progression fantasy. You can expect action and adventure, mayhem and magic, and all the classic tropes of high fantasy as seen through the eyes of someone just making it up as they go along.

Reborn as The Sect Leader's Husband

Lin Xiaoyu died smashed on a Shanghai street, phone still in hand. He wakes up in the body of a minor cultivation world side character, the sect leader's husband, three months married, and roughly one insult away from being discarded to save face. The problem: nobody actually likes this marriage. Not the sect elders, who think their leader married beneath his cultivation. Not the leader's insufferable "senior brother" and one-true-love-that-never-was, who's very publicly still around. And especially not the original Lin Xiaoyu, who apparently spent three months crying in the west courtyard instead of doing anything useful. New Xiaoyu has zero interest in crying. He has modern day pettiness, a business degree, and absolutely nothing to lose. If the sect wants a trophy husband, they're getting one who slaps faces, flips tables, and much to everyone's alarm, including his own, slowly make the terrifying, emotionally constipated Sect Leader Jiang Heng fall in love with the husband he married for political convenience.

Hundreds of teenagers from different backgrounds are dragged into the Land Between, where deadly monsters and even deadlier humans force them into a bloody struggle for survival. Among them is a frail orphan who has no combat training, powerful lineage, or preparation for the horrors awaiting him. He never expected much from life, but he certainly never expected to be chosen by the Fate Spell and branded as one of the Heroes. But hidden within his past is a truth even he doesn’t know: he is the last child of a forgotten goddess. The divine abilities awakened within him could be his only chance of surviving the ruined lands, but every blessing comes with a curse. As the truth of his birth begins to surface, the boy must survive monsters, rival Heroes, and the darkness within his own divine inheritance. Author's note: This is a story of fantasy and fiction, events or names used have no relation to the real world.

Our Journey's End

(Undergoing Rewrite) “I want to live too...” Those were the last words he uttered before being left behind, torn apart by the fallen. Yet betrayal, anger, and frustration were not the deepest emotions he felt. Not even the pain of being ripped apart, flesh by flesh. It was clarity, much like his name. Lucid understood then that maybe, just maybe, he had spent his life the wrong way. Perhaps, in his next life, he would have better luck. However, Lucid awakens in a strange purple forest that feels both foreign and strangely familiar, against all odds he had survived. Yet his face is hidden behind a peculiar fog that seems mysterious. Suddenly a voice chimes inside his head, a beautiful, elegant voice. A voice that seems to belong to a long-fallen deity named Alice. But upon realization, she is just as lost as he is. She cannot remember her own past, and yet, she carries a hope he himself lacks. Alice guides him forward through the scattered realms, and as they journey together, Lucid may be the only thing capable of restoring this fallen deity to her former divinity. And in return, she may be the only one capable of leading him home. Or perhaps fueling the twisted desire buried deep within him. Revenge... After all, he has not forgotten... What to Expect 🃏Slow-burn 💮Transmigration, Isekai and fantasy 🃏An overpowered protagonist forced through brutal struggle and grit 💮Heavy moral conflicts, difficult choices, and the weight of duty 🃏A consistent main cast that grows and supports one another 💮Mystery-driven worldbuilding 🃏Character-focused progression 💮Subtle romance 🃏AI opening chapter illustrations Schedule: 5 chapters on Tuesday 5 chapters on Saturday Patreon Daily release schedule General Author Linktree https://linktr.ee/Cr1msonLight

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?

Eternal Dreaming Zen

Two years ago, humanity launched a spacecraft to study the mysterious barrier enclosing the Earth and Sun. The mission ended in disaster. The spacecraft struck the barrier and exploded, leaving behind a crack. Something seeped through. It called itself Zen. As Zen spread across the world, humanity awakened strange powers. Some gained abilities beyond imagination. Others gained only enough strength to survive another day. But Zen wasn't the greatest disaster. People began to vanish. Without warning. Without a trace. The phenomenon became known as the Disappearance Effect. It comes in cycles. Each time it returns, it grows stronger. Each cycle leaves fewer survivors behind. Under a starless sky and in a world racing toward its doom, seventeen-year-old Riven Stirenok struggles to survive. Smart, cunning, and reckless enough to attempt things no sane person would ever consider, Riven repeatedly throws himself into impossible situations just to stay alive. Even he doesn't understand his own mind. Or the strange ability awakening within him. As the world grows stranger with every passing day, hidden truths begin to surface about Zen, the barrier, the disappearances, and the fate awaiting humanity. The end is approaching. [I have finished writing and uploading the first volume "The Apocalypse". So you can read it if you are interested since the first volume itself has separate completeness to it. And I will be active on the platform, will make sure to complete this story which will probably span over multiple volumes. Currently taking a break cuz I got tired(yk the studies and all). Don't worry this is going to be my new hobby. I will keep on writing. Just for fun.] (Also this is not Ai generated, I made this myself, wrote it on paper and then typed it down on Google docs. Well I will be honest about one thing, I did use Ai for correcting grammer and stuff. Like after writing draft of a chapter I will upload it some Ai, then it will give me suggestions on sentence level po

Unmade

In a vast, lightless void where monstrous shapes drift like silent predators in deep water, a single splash of color appears, a seventeen-year-old boy clad in white, falling endlessly through the darkness. His body is broken, one arm missing, his wounds severe. Whatever did this to him is unknown. Worse still, he remembers nothing, not who he is, not where he came from, not what happened. When he awakens, the void is gone. Instead, he finds himself in a new world, one vibrant, chaotic, and filled with people who wield strange and powerful abilities. Somehow, he possesses such power as well. As he struggles to adapt, learning the rules of this unfamiliar reality, fragments of instinct guide him where memory cannot. Yet one question lingers, haunting every step he takes: Who is he really… and what brought him here? link to the discord: https://discord.gg/3wf3yDGT4y i got art ect of my novel in the discord server incase anyone is interested in seeing it

Hunting Midnight

“The problems concerning demons and evil clocks began like many of my problems do: with a terrible wifi connection.” • • • • Alena moved to a small town to escape her past and start a restaurant, not to tangle with a demon. But when the monster messes with her wifi, ruins her roommate's date, and threatens to commit mass murder, she's forced to put her plans on hold.
