Beneath the surface of the industrial world, the Awakened walk unseen, bearing mandates that grant power at a horrifying cost that accompanies wielding it. Dragged into something he does not understand, Felix is forced through the fractured lives of others, reliving them, changing them, or being consumed by them. With each descent, his sense of self erodes, blurring the line between survival and madness. The deeper he goes, the closer he comes to a truth that has long been rewritten. He had already died once This time… it might stay that way.

Edwin Lunar

Living on the outskirts of the futuristic city of Vestella, Edwin survives by repairing broken machines and forgotten technology while carrying the pain of losing his parents at a young age. The only things left behind by them are a mysterious silver ring and an old scarf — relics from a past Edwin barely remembers. But everything changes when a hidden organization discovers him. Taken to the legendary moon-world of Noroel, Edwin enters the secretive Lunar Dominion Academy, a massive fortress where gifted children are trained to become elite warriors capable of controlling the power of the Eternal Flame — an ancient energy source that powers entire civilizations. As Edwin struggles to adapt to the dangerous academy life, he forms unexpected friendships with the intelligent Iris and the loyal Carl while facing powerful rivals, brutal training, and mysteries buried deep beneath the academy walls. Yet strange things begin happening around him. Systems malfunction in his presence. Ancient machines react to his father’s ring. And voices hidden inside forbidden networks begin calling his name. Soon Edwin uncovers the terrifying truth about Groader — a former academy prodigy whose obsession with the Eternal Flame nearly destroyed Noroel years ago. Though officially dead, rumors claim Groader’s consciousness still survives somewhere within hidden systems beneath the academy. When a sealed underground sector known as Sector Zero suddenly awakens after twelve years of silence, Edwin realizes his connection to Noroel runs far deeper than anyone imagined. And the truth about his parents’ deaths may change the future of the entire system forever.

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.

The Devil's Ante

What happens when the unluckiest man on Earth gets a class based purely on luck? I died in the most beautiful place a man could die - a shady gambling parlour run by a local thug. I'd never won anything in life, except for a couple of bucks in a pack of chips, and that luck was sure to follow me into the afterlife. Turns out heaven isn't as nice as they say. It's quite fucking awful, actually. A four-foot-in-heels goddess of luck took one look at my soul, decided I was a problem, and awakened something in me that dragged me into a whole new world. Now this awakened System has decided my entire combat class should be Gambler. Do you want to know how it works? I throw a punch, the System flips a coin, and if it comes up wrong, it bills me. And it does that by attacking me, not the guy I was trying to hit. Everyone keeps telling me to bet small. Bet safe. Survive. Yeah. We'll see.

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?
