Work From Home Sect

No one: The beginning of almost every isekai story... The protagonist slowly opened his eyes. "Where am I?" Judging by the ceiling above him, it definitely wasn't his room. The last thing he remembered was walking home from work when a truck came out of nowhere. After that... Did I get isekai'd? Several years later, he finally obtained what every transmigrator dreamed of. A system. [Ding! Welcome to the Sect Master System!] [Beginner Pack Reward Issued.] His eyes lit up. What was it? A divine cultivation technique? An ancient bloodline? A heaven-defying treasure? Instead, a familiar rectangular object appeared in his hands. "A... smartphone?" He stared at it in confusion. "What am I supposed to do with this?" [Create a Sect. Become its Master.] "I don't even have a place to start a sect..." He paused for a moment. "Oh wait, I can just make one at home." The system: [...]

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.

Brothers of Light and darkness: “The Struggle for Balance”

This is not a story about good versus evil. It is a story about what happens when good people stay silent. In a world decaying under greed, corruption, and moral compromise, two brothers are chosen to stand at the center of a celestial war between the god Irah and the demon king Zahar. But divine battles are only a reflection of a deeper truth: Darkness does not win because it is powerful. It wins because people allow it to. Lucian carries both mercy and ruthlessness within him. Hito carries a hope that refuses to be extinguished. Together, they are forced to confront a reality few are willing to face: Light without action is meaningless. Power without integrity is corruption. Hope without courage is illusion. Seven celestial angels defend crumbling nations — yet even heaven cannot save a world that refuses responsibility. Balance is not about harmony. Balance is about choosing to stand up when it would be safer to kneel. When injustice spreads… When corruption feels normal… When silence feels easier… Who are you?

Memory of Heaven

Love is not illegal in this universe. It is simply not allowed to exist. When an Overseer of Reality falls in love with a girl meant to die, causality begins to fracture—and the universe starts preparing to erase them both. *** In a universe governed by function, efficiency, and cosmic law, love is an anomaly no system can quantify. Fitran is an Overseer of Reality—an executor of balance tasked with maintaining causality across worlds. He was never meant to choose, hesitate, or care. Rinoa is a fractured soul, rewritten across eras and timelines, engineered to become a necessary martyr—a sacrifice required to keep reality stable. Together, they are a contradiction. Every time they hold hands, probability falters. Every time they separate, the universe stabilizes. As ancient machine gods awaken, angels descend to enforce order, and the Void turns its attention toward Earth, one truth becomes unavoidable: The universe does not fear war. It does not fear extinction. It fears a love that breaks meaning itself. This is not a story about saving the world. It is a story about choosing love in a reality that would rather collapse than allow it.

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. Past, Present, and Future... I'll leave it all behind." But with tensions rising between the nation's factions, rumblings of another War, and the headache-inducing voices he keeps hearing—cracks have formed in the thatched walls of Rookie's life, making way for his past to come pouring through. 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

Author's World [Transmigration, Magic, Author in His Own Novel]

I was just your average author, who struck gold during the pandemic with the debut of my novel "Fever War". But I made a mistake! "I made a bet." Dropped into a withering dystopia. A reimagined version of Earth after COVID-19, where some patients began gaining supernatural powers and magic. The future of humanity had changed forever. Wars were fought not solely with military technology, but supernatural soldiers fighting against each other. And then they came, aliens from the other world. And they were far better at using magic than all of humanity. War against aliens was not as simple as it seemed. Governments, secret cults, & ancient families all want one thing—Control. But I will control my own fate, I will ▮▮▮▮ this place and ▮▮▮▮. How? Because I wrote this story—I am this World's Author. --- What to expect: - No OP protagonist. As it takes time and training to become strong together with a very unique power system. This is the author falling into his novel trope, but with a twist. - No Harem, set in a futuristic 22nd century Earth filled with advanced technology and magic. - The beginning is slow as I am still developing my writing style. I am power-system enthusiast (Not LITRPG, but hard and logical magic system) kind of an author. So, please bear with me. --- This story is also available on RoyalRoad, ScribbleHub and Webnovel.

The Abomination Within Letcham

The city of Letcham was lorded over by a vampiric ruling class from Castle Sangmont. However, twenty years ago they had been massacred, and in their stead the church took hold of the city. Their religion was less about gods and more a worship of human kind's advancement and, when the plague swept the city, bloodshed. This plague was not a normal sickness, it turned folks ravenous. They acted more like beasts than men when infected, so they were called as much. One day a young woman named Mayme was sent to get supplies from the city in her ailing father's stead. The only issue was that she was the daughter of a leech of Sangmont. A monster the church would not take too kindly too-- nor would the man in Letcham who made it his life's mission to slay the rest of her wretched kind. The very man she was forced to rely upon when she got trapped outside with the beasts by the city's nightly lockdown.
