Gifted

Most people don't remember being born. Sebastian remembers dying first. Reborn with his memories somewhat intact and a stolen demon's power tangled into his soul, he's given something rarer than any starting class: time. Time to test his limits before he can walk. Time to reverse-engineer a hidden system no one will explain to him. Time to learn exactly how much of himself he can afford to reveal, and to who. Growing up at a mountain outpost on the edge of nowhere, raised by a disgraced mage and the mother who saved him from a cult's altar, Bastian has every reason to keep his Status a secret. But the numbers don't lie, and neither does the thing he absorbed in the womb. Somewhere in the dark, it's still hungry. And it isn't the only thing watching him grow. Gifted: First Steps — some paths begin before you can walk.

The Revenge Affair My Bestfriend's Husband Offered Me

“It’s still her.” Three words. That was all it took for the carefully constructed world of my last five years to shatter into dust at my feet. Zane didn’t even have the decency to look away as he said it. For twenty years, I had been the third wheel. The reliable shadow to Jovienne’s brilliant sun. I had buried my own feelings for Zane so deep I almost forgot they existed, only daring to dig them up and confess them after Jovi had left the country and broken his heart. We built a life. A marriage. I truly believed, in my foolish, hopeful heart, that it was my happy ending. Now Jovienne was back, and the illusion was gone. The love of my life saw me only as a consolation prize. As my world collapses, the last person I expect comfort from is her husband—a man as cold and polished as he is powerful. Vance sees the same betrayal in my eyes that he sees in his wife's. Leaning in, his voice a dangerous whisper, he proposed the unthinkable: "They are living in the past. Let's be each other's revenge. What do you say, Nerissa?" I should avoid at all costs. It was a game that could burn our broken worlds to the ground. But as I looked into his eyes and saw the same raw, humiliating betrayal reflected back at me, the answer poised on my lips wasn't "no." It was a terrifying, thrilling question. “What,” I whispered, my voice steadier than I felt, “did you have in mind?”

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.

The Worst Kobold

Fluke was the worst kobold who ever lived. He was a clumsy, awkward, malformed, 50-ton, thick-scaled, razor-clawed, creature of unimaginable destruction. He caved in the entire east copper mine with a swing of his tail, and he nearly crushedthe hatchery caretaker Tenderclaw beneath his massive feet. He was truly the worst. Now, I know what you're thinking. That... sounds like I'm talking about a dragon. But no. Fluke was confident he was a simple kobold. He knew it. Everyone in the tribe knew it. Hatched from an egg? Check. Raised by kobolds? Check. Lives underground in caves? Check. Clearly, a kobold. Dragons were royalty.  Powerful, majestic, titanic beasts of pure elemental power. And Fluke certainly wasn't any of that. After all, no all-powerful dragon would toil away in the mines like he did… right? But when the humans attacked one day, and he saw his friend struck down , Fluke began to learn there might be parts of himself he’s… overlooked. Please, have a seat, and let me tell you about Fluke. The Worst Kobold. A non-zero chance to be an upcoming 3d animated movie! What to expect: Native protagonists. (No LitRPG or Isekai, though I'm a big fan of the genres! A cozy comedy centered around a dragon convinced he's a kobold. No harem! Main character has enough trouble asking out one kobold. Interconnected stories with different points of views, including the badass warrior kobold love interest, the noble prince who'd be the main character elsewhere, and a pluck minorly magic goblin! 48% more kobolds than other stories Art done by: Flar

Necromancer Dreams of Mechs

Allen Voss is a master of steel, a 17-year-old social recluse who has 100% completed every mech-pilot sim on Earth . For him, life is simple: gears make sense, people don’t.

It consumes him . Trapped in a hyper-realistic world with no logout button, Allen finds himself in the one role he never wanted: a Necromancer. In a land where humanity is losing a war against monsters, he is branded a villain and a "World Boss." But Allen hasn't given up on his dream of mechs. If the world won't give him steel, he'll forge it from bone and forbidden magic, building a mechanized army of the dead to take on the "Good Pantheon." Yet, the digital ghosts of his parents’ past aren't his only complication. By his side stands Seraphine, a high-ranking Marquis of the realm whose aristocratic steel and unwavering loyalty force Allen to face the weight of his new crown . While she shields him from the judgment of the living, Allen remains haunted by the girl he left in the real world—Ciara, desperately fighting her way into the game. Between a calculating AI Architect, a corporate conspiracy, and a noblewoman who refuses to let him apologize for his nature, Allen must survive in this new world that is shaping around him. From the grave to the stars, Allen will take it all for himself.
