Apotheosis of the fallen god

At the absolute peak of his divine ascension, Ivan Dovisky stood on the brink of becoming a god. But at the critical moment of his apotheosis, a mysterious entity intervened, shattering the ritual. Stripped of his divine power, Ivan was cast down—regressing back in time to when he was young and weak. He awakens on Earth, his long-lost homeland. But this is no peaceful realm. Earth has been transformed into a cutthroat battleground for "Players"—humans bound to a mysterious System that grants them superhuman abilities and powers. At the center of it all stands the White Tower, a colossal structure where Players must conquer floor after floor to earn experience, level up, and transcend mortality. Now, armed with the knowledge of a fallen god and trapped in a mortal body, Ivan must climb the tower to reclaim his lost power—and uncover the truth behind the entity that destroyed him.

My Mate Thinks He's Human

Elaria crossed the sea to bring her mate home. She expected Vaelor to be busy. She expected him to have a very good reason for disappearing into the human world for hundreds of years. She did not expect him to look her in the eye and calmly say: “My name is Valerian.” Even worse, the Duke of Edevane insists that he is human. That dragons are myths. And that the strange young woman who appeared at his estate claiming to be both a dragon and his lifelong mate should probably go home. Unfortunately for Valerian, Elaria knows exactly who he is. Unfortunately for Elaria, her mate has apparently forgotten everything. Now she must survive human society, learn why unmarried men and women are not supposed to sleep in the same room, pretend to be Valerian’s “distant relative,” and somehow convince a perfectly rational duke that he is, in fact, a dragon. Meanwhile, the strange anomalies Valerian has spent his human life hunting may be connected to something far older than either of them remembers. And the closer Elaria gets to the truth, the clearer one thing becomes: Vaelor did not simply forget his way home. He forgot that home ever existed.

Anonymous' Changes: Essence

In the year 2221, the world of Xirod stands under the control of a powerful Federation that lets the government value obedience over individuality. Its citizens are identified by numbers rather than names, while propaganda convinces them that everyone possesses the same “essence.” Beneath the promise of order and prosperity, however, corruption, inequality, environmental destruction, and a failing education system threaten the lives of ordinary people. For years, the speaker accepts this reality as normal—until growing alienation and unanswered questions begin to challenge everything they have been taught to believe. As the contradictions behind the Federation's promises become impossible to ignore, the narrator discovers that silence does not necessarily mean agreement, and obedience does not always mean peace. What begins as one person's quiet awakening gradually inspires others to question the system they once feared. As citizens confront the truth and those entrusted with maintaining order face their own moral dilemmas, Xirod approaches a turning point that could change its future forever. Essence is a dystopian story about identity, freedom, and the courage to question what has long been accepted as truth. Through the transformation of individuals and an entire society, it explores metanoia—a profound change in one's mind and perspective—and asks what it truly means to be human.

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.

I Command

Some voices are born to be heard. Others are born to be feared. Shelly Halton was never given the chance to be ordinary. Born into a noble family, her existence became a secret that even her own blood feared to expose. But beneath the whispers, the shame, and the doors closed against her lies something far more unsettling than her appearance. Something that should have remained forgotten. In a world where a single voice can change everything, Shelly will discover that being silenced and being powerless are not the same thing. Meanwhile, in the kingdom of Eclastare, a young noblewoman named Sophia finds herself drawn to something she cannot quite explain. Singing has always been a part of her life, but there are moments when her own voice feels strangely unfamiliar—as though it carries something she has yet to understand. Two girls, each with a voice of her own. Two lives moving toward a future neither can fully see. But the world is not kind to those who are different, and power rarely comes without a price. As secrets linger beneath the surface and the boundaries between fear, freedom, and ambition begin to blur, their paths will lead toward a conflict neither can simply sing or command her way out of. Because when the world refuses to listen, what is left for those who were born with voices that should never have existed?

Eternal Dreaming Zen

Two years ago, humanity launched a spacecraft to study the mysterious barrier enclosing the Earth and Sun. The mission ended in disaster. The spacecraft struck the barrier and exploded, leaving behind a crack. Something seeped through. It called itself Zen. As Zen spread across the world, humanity awakened strange powers. Some gained abilities beyond imagination. Others gained only enough strength to survive another day. But Zen wasn't the greatest disaster. People began to vanish. Without warning. Without a trace. The phenomenon became known as the Disappearance Effect. It comes in cycles. Each time it returns, it grows stronger. Each cycle leaves fewer survivors behind. Under a starless sky and in a world racing toward its doom, seventeen-year-old Riven Stirenok struggles to survive. Smart, cunning, and reckless enough to attempt things no sane person would ever consider, Riven repeatedly throws himself into impossible situations just to stay alive. Even he doesn't understand his own mind. Or the strange ability awakening within him. As the world grows stranger with every passing day, hidden truths begin to surface about Zen, the barrier, the disappearances, and the fate awaiting humanity. The end is approaching. [I have finished writing and uploading the first volume "The Apocalypse". So you can read it if you are interested since the first volume itself has separate completeness to it. And I will be active on the platform, will make sure to complete this story which will probably span over multiple volumes. Currently taking a break cuz I got tired(yk the studies and all). Don't worry this is going to be my new hobby. I will keep on writing. Just for fun.] (Also this is not Ai generated, I made this myself, wrote it on paper and then typed it down on Google docs. Well I will be honest about one thing, I did use Ai for correcting grammer and stuff. Like after writing draft of a chapter I will upload it some Ai, then it will give me suggestions on sentence level po
