Aetherios System [Slow Build OP MC, Isekai LitRPG/Cultivation]

Welcome to the Aetherios System, where the quests are mandatory and failure results in deletion! Alex Pierce thought the worst part of military life was eating stale MREs and getting screamed at by people who loved pushups more than oxygen. He was wrong. Caught in a nuclear blast and dumped into a world of magic, Alex and eleven other soldiers find themselves in a reality where stats rule, The System gives no mercy, and Alex discovers bigger problems than simple rations and the childhood trauma of living in his twin brother’s shadow. Problems like: - Forest badgers with bodybuilding addictions and very personal grudges. - A kobold village too dumb for diplomacy. - One cantankerous apothecary witch. - Smug elves. - And an undead dungeon that didn’t get the memo about staying dead. His fellow Isekai’d soldiers are a disaster, his power build is ruined thanks to one little magical oopsie, and his closest “ally” might be an evil talking river pebble. (It swears it isn’t evil. He’s not convinced.) The System doesn’t care if Alex is confused, terrified, or quietly crumbling under self-doubt. It only cares if he proves himself worthy to exist. Prove yourself or be erased. No pressure.

I Stole A Dead Goddess's Blessing and Now She Won't Leave Me Alone

The color of a Divine Core determines your worth—and Anadis Kalonis awakened the worst one possible. Anadis had wanted to be a Blessen since he was five. He trained for years, learned to survive dangerous situations, and studied the gods rigorously so that by the time he was old enough for the Awakening Ceremony, his chances of being chosen by a God and surviving the Blessed Trial would be nearly guaranteed. But it still wasn't enough. He got the worst Divine Core possible—kids with that core didn't survive the Blessed Trial. He also didn't expect his sister and his twin to awaken Divine cores, and far better ones than his. But what he truly did not expect in a hundred years was for a goddess to fall from the sky, one who supposedly died fifteen centuries ago. And get this, she wanted his brother for herself. And she wanted to kill Anadis. Of course she did… Finally, when the Divine Voice attempted to register his new Blessing, it marked him with something no Blessen had ever received: [Sacred Fault: Godkiller] What to expect: - Weak to strong (it’s going to take a while for him to become the strongest, folks) - Slow-burn romance subplot (he’s painfully dense—don’t expect fast progress here) - Action every few chapters with slice-of-life and progression in between (downtime matters as much as combat) - Creative magic system with litRPG elements. - Multi-POV (mostly Anadis, with occasional side steps) - Gradual expanding worldbuilding (the world expands as Anadis moves through it) - Long chapters (3,000 words average) - 200k+ words written and ongoing (this story will be really long) Read 10 chapters ahead on Patreon!

Some roads lead somewhere. Others should never have existed. When a Bell sounds across the land, Marek expects trouble. He does not expect the roads themselves to stop agreeing with the maps. What begins as a routine journey carrying desperately needed medicine quickly becomes something stranger. Familiar routes lead travelers back to where they started. Forgotten roads return. Ancient markers point toward places that should be days apart. Maps that have been trusted for generations begin contradicting one another.

But the world is beginning to behave according to rules no ranger was ever taught. Then Recognition begins changing people. New abilities emerge from what they understand, what they survive, and what they prove themselves capable of doing. Marek is not alone. A formidable warrior, an Elven scholar, healers, travelers, local leaders, and people caught on the wrong side of impossible roads are all beginning to discover pieces of the same mystery. None of them has the whole answer. Every discovery makes the world larger. Every answer creates another problem. And somewhere beneath roads that should not exist, something ancient is beginning to connect places that were never meant to touch. The Bells of the Buried World is a progression fantasy and high-fantasy mystery featuring exploration, meaningful character progression, practical problem-solving, dangerous creatures, archery, magic, ancient infrastructure, multiple fantasy peoples, combat with consequences, and a world whose history may be far stranger than anyone remembers.

They are refusing to talk about where they were, what happened to them, or if the other missing teens are coming back too. Until Thomas decides to tell a hypothetical story. It is a ridiculous tale of world crossing, fantasy worlds, epic wars, cold castles, and quiet mountains. But his therapist is sure of one thing: the truth of what happened to them is there, woven somewhere in the stories. So she'll listen until she cracks the code.

The World Forgot My Name

Stars are disappearing, and nobody remembers they ever existed. Across the universe, entire stars vanish without a trace. No explosions, no warnings. One night, they are there. The next, the sky looks as though they never existed at all. Far above an endless sea of clouds, a boy named Kael spends his nights drawing the stars. He doesn't know why he does it, only that he feels an odd sense of loss whenever he looks at the sky. Then one night, he watches a star disappear, and a strange thought crosses his mind. He has seen this happen before. Kael doesn't understand the dreams that follow, the strange symbols that keep appearing in his drawings, or why a mysterious girl seems to know more about him than she should. But as the Silent Rift, an ancient scar in the fabric of reality, begins to stir after centuries of silence, he finds himself caught in something far bigger than he can imagine. Somewhere beyond the stars, forgotten beings are beginning to awaken. The Thirteen Primordial Fragments hold secrets tied to the very beginning of existence, while an entity known only as ZERO watches events unfold from the shadows. And somehow, Kael is connected to all of it. The more he searches for answers, the more he begins to question his own memories, his identity, and the world around him. Because if the universe is truly being erased, then why does it feel as though it is trying so desperately to forget him? And what will happen when it finally remembers?
