The Star Of Ire

"No one is good to you once you stop pleasing them." Three thousand years ago, the gods made a wager: do mortals deserve to exist? The cruelest god cursed mankind. The kindest offered a way out. In the dark, the curse still waits — not for the wicked, but for the one the world chose to break. Three thousand years, and it has never once failed. Two centuries after the last catastrophe, Aseri sings hymns to a hero-king and calls the truth a myth. Markella believes every word — top of her class, bound for the palace, certain of her golden future. She has no idea what she is. She has no idea what's waiting. The Star of Ire has slept long enough.

RED DAWN

Ash lived believing he was carrying something he never should have had to. He couldn’t let it go, and he called it a burden. He never admitted what it really was.

But Ash’s soul hadn’t awakened naturally, and a forced awakening carried great risks. He couldn’t take them, not while he was bound to the lives of three others. So the voice made a offer: a way with no risk at all.

By the Grace of God

After a mysterious book appears on his shelf, Konrad Weiss, a history teacher, gives in to a temptation he’d normally resist. He plagiarizes its contents, unaware that the book is a gateway to another world. And, unfortunately, finds himself dragged into that very world, a place of horrors, magic, and secrets hidden from mankind's eyes. In the age he now inhabits, history and mythology have become indistinguishable. In the year 2065, following the Third World War, Espers pursue the mysteries of the body through science and physical evolution, while Magicians delve into the mysteries of the soul and the Supernatural. Each has their own goals, but they share a common purpose of combating the horrors within the dimensional portals, confronting the unknown, as well as negotiating humanity's survival with the gods. And here knowledge is feared, forbidden, and sought after by only a select few. But as fate would have it, Konrad is what one might call... a seeker of knowledge.

Extra's Path To Main Character

Every human is born with a Mana Affinity, a rank from F to SSS that determines their potential. Nobles hoard Mana Stones, elite academies train the gifted, and the strong rule absolutely. The world has a story. Specifically: it plays out like a novel, with a chosen protagonist, destined allies, legendary dungeons, and a final demon king. That story was already written once. Amaron Volg knows it by heart – because he lived it as an extra.

Please give it a chance for at least the first 12 chapters... I’m confident it won’t disappoint you. Su Wen was looked down upon by his companions; while they had already reached Peak Foundation Establishment, he was still 'stuck' at the Qi Refining stage. What they didn’t know… Su Wen: “It’s not me who’s trash… it’s you. I’m cultivating an Unknown-Grade Body, Soul, and Spirit technique, passed down by my mortal grandfather!” “Wait… my grandparents are mortals? Then how do they even know cultivation techniques?!” “The girl I treated after she failed her Heavenly Tribulation… she wants to marry me… but secretly she is…?!!” “That elf girl… I…” “That White Tiger…” “That Black Dragon…” "From a small village to the top of the world, he will become the greatest… Husband."

Shadow Emperor

Immensely powerful yet wildly down-to-earth, Xylan Miirak has never been particularly interested in putting up a front- even with the responsibilities of ruling his people. No amount of politics, bureaucracy, or public perception stops him from unabashedly being himself at all times, for better or worse. For the past ten millennia, he’s been able to keep this up, no doubt in part due to his quick wit and unmatched power and skill as a Level 7 Kinetic Sorcerer. Despite having to worry about ruling an interstellar empire, Xylan still has to worry about things like being a husband, raising his daughter, maintaining friendships, and generally finding time for a life outside of work. Unfortunately, his life is about to get a lot more interesting. The evil warlord Romulus has unleashed his merciless Kymaran hordes upon the Andromeda Galaxy, and Xylan’s people are first on his list. Apparently, he wasn’t busy enough already.
