The World Ends in 7 Days, But I'm Stuck Farming EXP

Seven days. That's how long until the "Final Patch" drops and turns this world into a permadeath nightmare. While everyone's rushing to unlock rare classes and raid legendary dungeons, I'm doing the unthinkable: farming the same three slimes in the starting forest for the hundredth time. They call me broken. They call me bugged. They don't know that when the apocalypse hits, only one stat will matter: Total Level. And I'm the only one who knows that the "useless" tutorial mobs drop the key to breaking the level cap. This isn't a hero's journey. This is the story of a man who read the patch notes before the world ended.

For others, a catastrophe. For Yumiel, however, it was finally a chance to uncover the truth she had spent her life searching for. This is the world after.

Ascension Of The Throne

Imagine dying on Earth and waking up mid-chase—hunted by armed guards and a man riding a horse big enough to be a monster... Well, that's what happens to Edric. Survival is Edric Veyra’s only priority… until he learns the truth. He didn’t reincarnate into a nobody. He woke up as Edric Veyra, last heir to a fallen house that once helped found the kingdom itself. A house now reduced to whispers, half-remembered stories, and something people would rather forget. Before he can make sense of it, a System activates—less a blessing, more a forced tutorial. Fragments of the original Edric’s memories flood in, incomplete and unsettling, as if someone tore pages out of his past. Along with them comes a weapon that shouldn’t exist anymore: a rune-engraved flintlock capable of firing elemental shots, a relic of techniques long buried. Hunted by beasts, criminals, and forces that seem far too interested in whether House Veyra stays dead, Edric is left with one question that refuses to let him run forever: What really happened to House Veyra—and who made sure it fell? To find the answer, he’ll need to grow stronger, form uneasy alliances, and survive long enough to uncover a truth powerful enough to erase a founding pillar of the nation. What to Expect: -Weak to Strong Progression -'Lite' litrpg System w/ Minimal Stats -Emphasis on Party Dynamics -No Harem -1500+words per chapter -Smooth pacing

The Red Flags of a Serial Killer

Eliot, 22, has only one dream: to be normal. Get his degree, keep his amazing girlfriend, and blend into the crowd. But fate-or maybe that weird priest who performed an exorcism on him when he was eight-has other plans. Because Eliot has a secret he doesn't even know himself: he's a magnet for catastrophes. Not just any catastrophes. Everywhere he goes, "perfect" people tend to suffer fatal accidents-absurd, unlikely, and almost comically timed. A slip on the stairs. A forgotten allergy. A thunderstorm that strikes a little too precisely... The worst part? Eliot is convinced he's cursed. He lives in constant fear of the police and crushed by guilt over his clumsiness. What he doesn't know yet is that Karma has a very particular sense of humor. His "victims" are never innocent. A serial killer disguised as the ideal son-in-law, a neighbor with an unspeakable past, a web celebrity with cult-like tactics... Eliot cleans up the city without meaning to-one fall at a time. Between panic attacks, deadly misunderstandings, and criminal law exams, discover the story of the most incompetent-and the most effective-vigilante in history. PS : Just so you know, English isn't my native language, but I'll do my best so you can enjoy my ideas as much as possible :) "I will be posting this story on Royal Road'

Halloween Story: The Lake Surprise — Part Two: A Legend Rises

Ten years have passed… but the lake never forgot. What happened that day was buried—silenced by fear, guilt, and lies no one dared to speak out loud. The survivors moved on… or at least, they tried to. But every Halloween, the past returns. Names begin to appear. People begin to die. And the truth… begins to surface. Something is calling from the lake. Not just a memory. Not just a legend. Something alive. Something patient. The whispers grow louder each year—echoing through churches, streets, and dreams. A name repeated over and over like a curse that refuses to fade: Billy. The deeper they look, the clearer it becomes—this isn’t random. This isn’t coincidence. This is something that was never meant to survive. And now… It’s rising. The lake doesn’t just take. It remembers. It marks. It comes back for what it’s owed. And this time— It’s stronger.

Halloween Story: The Lake Surprise part one

It was supposed to be harmless. A joke. A prank. Something they could all laugh about later. Six friends walked toward the old lake at the edge of town, carrying snacks, secrets… and a plan that should have never existed. Billy trusted them. He trusted her most of all. But the moment the water touched him, everything went wrong. The laughter didn’t last. The screams did. Something beneath the surface answered him—fast, sharp, and hungry. Not one bite. Not one mistake. A swarm. By the time they pulled him out, the lake had already taken its share. And what remained… wasn’t something you could forget. Now the group is left with silence. With guilt. With a truth none of them are willing to speak out loud. Because the real horror isn’t just what was in the water. It’s knowing— Someone planned this. And no one stopped it. Some secrets sink. Others stay with you… long after the blood washes away.
