Extra's Path To Main Character

The story takes place in Ardenmoor – a continent where Mana flows through the earth like blood through veins. 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.

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.

Fallout Odyssey

No one remembers how it started. By the time it mattered, it no longer did. The War had dragged on for years. Borders were redrawn in blood and cities were emptied, until the nations of the world, desperate for an ending, reached for the weapons they had sworn never to use. Nuclear fire lit the skies, engineered plagues drifted on the wind. For a moment it seemed to have worked, and the fighting stopped, but the poisoning didn't. Plants grew twisted, animals turned into things that had no names and people changed too, though never in the same way. Some were untouched, some went mad, many simply died. The lucky few who changed differently woke to find something new inside them, a power unlike anyone else’s. They called these gifts Manifests, no two ever alike. The world that rose from the ashes of that war would come to be known as The Fallout.

With no abilities in a world built around the superhuman, he turns to science and works inside his father’s organization, believing he can still earn his place another way. Then he discovers classified files: illegal experiments, disappearances, and murder cases hidden behind the image of heroism. After a chain of violent events forces him out of everything he knows, Alan travels to China searching for answers, training, and a different path to power. What begins as survival turns into something far more dangerous as he uncovers forces tied to the original catastrophe that changed humanity. Death. Corruption. Revenge.

This isn't the otherworld I imagined

Mark always imagined being summoned to another world would lead to an incredible adventure. A legendary weapon, extraordinary powers, perhaps even a grand quest to defeat a Demon Lord, you know the usual. Instead, he gets three ordinary abilities, a mysterious book, and a kingdom with a rather unusual problem: its population is declining. As if that weren't enough, the summoning gateway breaks, leaving Mark stranded in a world he never asked to visit. Now he must learn to survive in a place where his expectations are practically useless, his abilities aren't quite what he hoped for, and the kingdom's problems may be far more complicated than they appear.

Overseer - [Psychological Urban Fantasy]

Every criminal in Anderis dreams of being hired as a Receiver for the Syndicate. And for good reason: they'd be guaranteed work and pay, gain a fearsome reputation, and, for those few gifted with supernatural abilities, they'd be granted free rein to use their powers. However, for the former-office worker—codenamed Rookie—the Syndicate's Retirement Scheme is all that matters. "50,000 shares. That's all I need to erase myself from the outside world.

One dreadful wave after the other. Will Rookie attain the freedom he desperately desires? Or will he instead be drowned beneath the crushing tides of his past? - Current release schedule will be daily: from Monday to Friday at 17:30 GMT. - Backlog is about 250k words. So this story won’t be disappearing/going on hiatus for a good while! Cover Art by @NadiaDibaj

He watched every Pokémon adventure. He knew every legend. But nobody told him what would happen when he became part of the story. Par was an ordinary Pokémon fan who had spent years following Ash Ketchum across every region. On the night he died, he was doing nothing extraordinary—just rewatching Pokémon Black & White. Then he opened his eyes in Unova. The Pokémon he had watched on a screen were real. The legendary creatures he had dreamed about existed. And somewhere in this vast world, Ash Ketchum was beginning his journey. But there was one problem. Par had no money, no Trainer Card, and not even a Pokémon to protect him. Until a mysterious Seeker System changed everything. A Mythic Egg became his first partner, hatching into Zeraora—a Pokémon with unbelievable potential. With the Seeker's Eye, Par could locate Pokémon, analyse their abilities, and gradually unlock new powers through hard-earned victories. But knowing Pokémon was one thing.

Lord Dragon Shapeshifter

But he doesn't mind, for he likes eating pebbles. In fact, Artuse likes eating just about everything. Dragons are a prideful race who strive to grow mightier and live carefree lives.

Occasionally, a blue screen calling itself an Interface flashes before his eyes, identifying his bloodline as Gluttony. His bloodline may not be as simple as most assume, but Artuse, however, pays it no mind. His days are peaceful, and he has no desire to grow stronger. That is, until he meets a so-called wretched human who changes his view of the world... . . . A story slightly inspired by How to Train Your Dragon.

Echoes of the Silent Sky

Year 2147. The Sun stops—not dead, not dimmed, but *paused*. Fusion ceases for 11 minutes and 43 seconds every 72 hours. A silence with a pattern. A signal. Astrophysicist Dr. Ella Vayne decodes the sun's tremors and discovers the frequency matches human brain theta waves. Not coincidence. Something is broadcasting to Earth—or waking something *in* Earth. Recruited into a black-ops mission, Ella and ex-special forces operative Kasen Reed are sent to a remote Martian research base. The scientists there report footsteps in the dead of the base—footsteps that echo from 300 meters below, where satellite scans show only empty rock. What they find buried beneath Mars isn't a ship. It's a **memory vessel**—a relic built by a civilization that encoded its final moments into a structure that responds to human neural patterns. And Ella's brainwaves? They sync perfectly with the sun's silence. They always have. She wasn't chosen. She was *made* for this. But someone on Earth is building a tower—a transmitter. They don't want to receive the signal. They want to **reply**. The question isn't who sent the silence. It's who—or what—will answer back.
