The Saint and The Devil of Another World!

In a world once torn apart by war between humans and demons, peace finally arrived not through diplomacy, but through overwhelming force from 10 summoned heroes sent by the Goddess. The hero’s armies crushed the Demon King’s army, and reshaped the world itself. Two years later, the war is over. And with it, Changes in the life of both humanity and demonkind. The forgotten Saintess now works at a cat maid café she barely understands after her followers abandoned her for celebrity heroes. The defeated Demon King survives by taking odd jobs after losing his castle, army, and dignity to dungeon raiders and tourists. As their world becomes increasingly dominated by imported trends, and absurd hero culture, the former enemies reluctantly join forces not to save the world, but to reclaim what little remains of the one they lost!

Surviving another reset, a new purpose ignited his will to keep going. The humanity of this galaxy is millennia older than that of Earth. With three central star systems called the inner corporate ring made out of Aqua the cradle of humanity in this world, Ares the most advanced star system and Hades the most resource rich. It was peaceful the era before the fall of the corporate inner ring, a paradise where the richest and most connected ruled but that peace didn’t last mostly because of a war they had thought profitable. Automating war might have been their greatest mistake. “In retrospect we should have stopped after the first billion synths.” - Board member of Cosmos-Z Industries.

Fleeting Memories.

This story is about a boy and a girl who like each other, but they don't know if the other person likes them back. Let's see if they're able to confess their feelings or not... in time. Read at your own risk. Reading this might feel like a half-dead experience because there is absolutely no life in my writing yet. This is just a random thing I am trying to write. I have no actual idea how to write, I am just doing it because the idea seemed fun. I am not good at grammar or the structured form of writing, so things might be all over the place. Basically, do not read it. It is just a random thing I am trying to do. So YEAH, DO NOT READ, NOT GOOD, ALRIGHT?

Venerable

On a normal Tuesday afternoon, Dustin’s nap was interrupted and he was pulled into a new reality filled with magic, classes, powers, and countless monsters. In this new reality, one’s own strength was what truly mattered. A person could rule over countless others based solely on that strength. After obtaining a special class during the tutorial phase through a rare event, Dustin finally saw the true nature of the world he had entered. Here, the weak were oppressed for eternity, and even the strong lived under the oppression of fate. In a world where countless beings struggled to ascend to the apex of the multiverse, could Dustin truly rise… or would he fall into the bottomless abyss? What righteousness? And what Demonic? To ascend is to defy fate. What is a Venerable? Is he the strongest in the multiverse? Or is he the wisest… or something else entirely? How can one become a Venerable? Follow Dustin on his reluctant journey to become a Venerable — a path filled with joy, sadness, ambition, and madness. Update Schedule: 3 Chapters per week. Note: The Story is kind of a mixture of LitRpg and Cultivation at first it may seem like a LitRpg progression but as the story progresses it will eventually shift to mainly Cultivation genre (or you can also say magic based power fantasy rather than a system based) So in short the power progression will be logical. And yes numbers will go up but I won't be describing every single thing using a system screen since I'll be treating the system as a tool or as an entity rather than as a universal thing. What to expect:- No harem Logical power growth  Weak to strong  Very big world building (multiverse)

Shadows Of The Sun

Darkness enveloped humanity after the Great Wind tore away the firmament itself, stealing the sky and reshaping the world. Since then, survival has replaced history, and truth has become myth. No one remembers what the world looked like before the darkness. Only one name remains carved into every surviving settlement—House of White, the so-called saviors of humanity. Winter, an orphan raised in the ruins by Old Ren, knows nothing of the past. In the slums of a broken economy, he survives the only way he can: theft. Everything changes when a job leads him to steal from House of White. Instead of gold or relics, he ends up with something far more dangerous—Summer White, a runaway member of the ruling house. Now hunted by hidden organizations and entities known as Wraiths—beings that exist between life and death—Winter is forced into a role he never chose: protector. But survival comes at a cost. With a militant system awakening inside him and a failed encounter transforming his body into something inhuman, Winter becomes a new kind of Wraith. One they will come to fear. The Beast Wraith.

They Have Magic, I Have NexusGPT: Modern Warfare in a Fantasy Realm

In his past life, Vane built a god. He created NexusGPT, an AI so advanced that even with heavy restrictions, his treacherous business partner used it to conquer most of the world within decades. Left with nothing but betrayal, Vane died and woke up in a fantasy realm. He didn't ask for legendary swords, divine blessings or cheat skills. He just wanted his creation back. Seeking a quiet, peaceful existence, Vane tried to build a simple life—a quiet house in the meadows. But this world is unforgiving and the cruelty of empires and mages tore that peace away. Now, Vane is tired. Tired of holding back. Tired of chasing a happiness that the universe refuses to give him. Armed with an AI that holds everything from basic carpentry to quantum mechanics, Vane realises something liberating: if magic bends reality, then being freed from a world with rigid laws of physics means he can rewrite the rules of nature entirely. While arrogant mages waste mana chanting to summon inefficient fireballs, Vane condenses superheated plasma into blinding laser beams that slice through armies. Why match their cavalry when you can rain hellfire from high-altitude aerial bombers? To finally secure the quiet life he desires, Vane will build an unassailable utopia. If he has to conquer every kingdom, crush every empire, unearth the origin of mana and control everything under the stars to secure it, so be it. What to Expect: - Weak to Strong MC who hides his true power. - Academy arcs filled with intrigue and rivalry. - Ruthless, smart and strategic protagonist. - Deep worldbuilding with various races, politics and mysteries. - Exploration of ancient ruins and forgotten secrets. - Powerful intelligent enemies and grand conflicts. - Diplomacy, romance, and wholesome moments. - Epic scale conflicts including a Demon King and wars. - Programming to create advanced magical weapons and tools. - Angels? Gods? ....Aliens?

THE FIRST CRADLE - BOOK ONE OF THE IRON CRADLE SAGA

The Sun is dying, and there's no saving this world. Engineering grad student Gavin Daniels volunteers for experimental brain emulation technology--humanity's last chance to gain centuries of research time while only days pass on Earth. But the untested cradle connects him to something ancient: a galaxy-spanning competition called the Ascendancy, where Earth's survival is the prize. The rules are brutal. Earth is unrecognized, unprotected, and legally open for conquest. Win, and the planet gains galactic protection. Every victory captures alien technology to fuel humanity's desperate evacuation. Lose, and everything is forfeit. In a genre built on solo heroes grinding for power, Gavin and Earth's champions choose a different path: reincarnating the souls of Earth's dead as spirit-born warriors, building armies instead of going it alone, forging alliances with alien species, and refusing to treat war as a game. But those overseeing the Ascendancy aren't safeguarding peace--they're filtering threats. Culling potential rivals before they can rise. Can Earth's champions survive alien dinosaurs, and a universe that seems to want to crush them? Our only allies, a race that died on Earth before humanity ever took its first steps... Step into the cradle, champion, and find out. THE FIRST CRADLE - THE SECOND CRADLE - A LITRPG ADVENTURE
