The Rift in Kaalam

Velan ends up in a realm known as Kaalam by the will of a mysterious person who called himself Master. Then Velan was given a single mission by that person: "Kill the King of Bandha" Before Velan could even respond to it, he was sent back in time to an ancient kingdom—the Bandha Kingdom. There, he finds himself chased by guards, put on court trial, finally ending up on a dungeon prison where he meets Anya, a chaotic and violent woman who helps him escape the prison. She reveals to him secrets that he was never supposed to know. Secrets that were kept away from him. And as he approaches his target, the King, he questions his mission itself and the mysterious Master who sent him. Later, Master reassures him that it's all for the stability of Kaalam. "The King is a Terror of Kaalm, an evil being that destabilizes Kaalam's harmony." Master had said to him. Would he kill the King like Master says and stabilize Kaalam? Or would he choose to follow Anya who saved his life?

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.

Artist Leveling - Summoning Gods With Art

Roderick Vale is a failure. In a family of Gravity mages, his only talent is turning expensive linseed oil into charcoal-smudged garbage. His brother hates him, his mom pities him, and his "masterpiece" of a noble knight looks like a stickman with a stroke. Then the stickman stepped off the canvas. It’s 2D, it smells like wet paint, and it makes the sound of tearing flesh. When the System greets Roderick, it doesn't give him fireballs or flight. It gives him the power to bring his own neurological disasters to life. Gildenfall isn't ready for an army of sentient scribbles, and honestly, neither is Roderick.

Prince of All Creation

Codex is absolute. Each tome, a shard of the creator's will. A sacred archive that chronicles the fates of all who belong to a specific dynasty—those who have passed, and those yet to be born—each word penned by the creator's own hand. What does a prince do when, upon stepping into adulthood and unlocking the truth of his destiny, he discovers that his very existence is the harbinger of doom for the homeland he loves? One cannot escape fate. History has etched in blood the names of those who tried. Yet, in this once-mighty empire, now reduced to a hollow shell of its former glory, even a fated catastrophe can be transformed into an opportunity. After all, the codex may be absolute, but a man's word... is not.

The Silver Tongued Devil

Matas is a roofer, not a hero. When a highway wreck and a red curve in the sky drop him onto the side of a forgotten mountain, there's no prophecy waiting for him—only stone, hunger, and a System that records his every choice instead of explaining any of them . Samhal survives because a buried crystal Heart keeps the worst luck off its people, quietly paying out Probability Debt so roofs don't fall and dungeon doors don't explode. Now that Heart is humming off‑beat, debt is coming due—and every "near miss" the System forgives has to be paid in blood or stone, somewhere, by someone. Drafted as a wall scout, Matas earns his bunk the only way he knows how: reading bad load paths before they kill someone and letting a hostile System wire more omen into his bones every time the village needs an "active participant." To get anyone out before the Heart fails and the rust‑choir of ten thousand trapped souls wakes, Matas will have to become exactly what this world fears—an honor‑bound Omen‑Step engineer who decides which debts get paid, and whose names get written on the ledger.

The Runic Protocol

In a galaxy where high-tech colonization meets the primal forces of the void, survival is a matter of frequency. S-17 was born in the silence of a deep-space laboratory, a "vessel" forged through the cruel Evolution Adaptation experiments of the sinister Dr. Thorne. Augmented with reinforced bone density and a mind capable of processing infinite data, he was designed to be the ultimate survivor. But when he is discarded onto the surface of Xylos, he discovers a power the scientists could never replicate. Xylos is a world saturated with Aether—a primal, raw energy that flows through the air, the beasts, and the planet’s crystalline core. While most require years of grueling discipline to learn Vibration—the rare ability to sense and influence the Aether—S-17 perceives it instinctively as "ripples" in the world around him.
