SideKick | Shit Hero
Working is hard. Being a hero too. Doing both at the same time, for half the pay, is hell. Every day, Arthur wakes up early to sweep the filthy streets of Lumière in exchange for a pittance, zero recognition, and a terrible smell that seeps through his clothes and clings to his body. But when monsters appear and the city needs someone, he’s the one who steps up. Not to defeat them, of course, but because, apparently, no one else wants to clean up the mess that the real heroes leave behind. At the end of the day, his only consolation is heading to the corner diner, where the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen works. There, between a hot sandwich and a shy smile, Arthur almost forgets that he’s the lowest-paid (and most ridiculous) hero in Lumière. What kind of shit hero is this? A.N.: A short story set in the cyberpunk heroes universe of higgscrowl (Radiant).

Venerable
On a normal Tuesday afternoon, Dustin’s nap was interrupted and he was pulled into a new reality filled with magic, classes, powers, and countless monsters. In this new reality, one’s own strength was what truly mattered. A person could rule over countless others based solely on that strength. After obtaining a special class during the tutorial phase through a rare event, Dustin finally saw the true nature of the world he had entered. Here, the weak were oppressed for eternity, and even the strong lived under the oppression of fate. In a world where countless beings struggled to ascend to the apex of the multiverse, could Dustin truly rise… or would he fall into the bottomless abyss? What righteousness? And what Demonic? To ascend is to defy fate. What is a Venerable? Is he the strongest in the multiverse? Or is he the wisest… or something else entirely? How can one become a Venerable? Follow Dustin on his reluctant journey to become a Venerable — a path filled with joy, sadness, ambition, and madness. Update Schedule: 3 Chapters per week. Note: The Story is kind of a mixture of LitRpg and Cultivation at first it may seem like a LitRpg progression but as the story progresses it will eventually shift to mainly Cultivation genre (or you can also say magic based power fantasy rather than a system based) So in short the power progression will be logical. And yes numbers will go up but I won't be describing every single thing using a system screen since I'll be treating the system as a tool or as an entity rather than as a universal thing. What to expect:- No harem Logical power growth Weak to strong Very big world building (multiverse)

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. But when he’s convinced to join the fantasy game—partly for the challenge, and partly because of a rare, electric connection with the school's "Ice Princess," Ciara Clarence—the game doesn't just start. 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.

The Devil's Ante
What happens when the unluckiest man on Earth gets a class based purely on luck? I died in the most beautiful place a man could die - a shady gambling parlour run by a local thug. I'd never won anything in life, except for a couple of bucks in a pack of chips, and that luck was sure to follow me into the afterlife. Turns out heaven isn't as nice as they say. It's quite fucking awful, actually. A four-foot-in-heels goddess of luck took one look at my soul, decided I was a problem, and awakened something in me that dragged me into a whole new world. Now this awakened System has decided my entire combat class should be Gambler. Do you want to know how it works? I throw a punch, the System flips a coin, and if it comes up wrong, it bills me. And it does that by attacking me, not the guy I was trying to hit. Everyone keeps telling me to bet small. Bet safe. Survive. Yeah. We'll see.

ABSOLVE: The Dark Horse
He was arguing that free will exists when the world ended. One move from winning. A stone between his fingers. His oldest rival across the board, insisting that nothing anyone does is truly chosen — that every step of a man's life was laid down before he took the first. Then the room skipped, and Shen Huang woke facedown in black water on a world that had never heard of Earth. He did not panic. He counted. Wrong cold. Fog the color of a bruise. A crowd above him, waiting. Two seconds, and he understood he was dead, and elsewhere, and here on purpose. The third second was the one that should have frightened him. He was interested. In this world, power is inherited. The Vashari are born holding it — fire that follows the eye, minds that bend memory, futures read like a page. Everyone else is Nuun. The empty. The severed. Cattle with names, herded into a drowned frontier nobody else wanted. Shen Huang has no power. He will never have power. He has something worse. He has four thousand years of a dead world's warcraft locked behind his eyes — every siege, every betrayal, every annihilation history ever recorded — and he has landed among a people who have never seen a single one of them. They will call him the Nobody. Then the general. Then the King of the Empty. And when they finally find a word for what he is, it will not be a title. It will be a curse, whispered in a language older than their gods, for the thing that moves without being moved. He has done this before. He does not remember losing.

I Died During The College Debate and Awoke as the Heavenly Debater
Is this what happens when a debater dies? Charlie Kellan was a college student who spent his life arguing, questioning, and dismantling the ideas of others through nothing more than words. His life ended unexpectedly during a university debate, and when Death came to collect his soul, Charlie was sent into reincarnation and awakened in a world where Cultivation Reigns Supreme! Here, strength determines status, powerful cultivators can shatter mountains, and countless paths to immortality have already been developed. Charlie creates something the cultivation world has never seen before The Verbal Arts! What begins as a peculiar technique gradually develops into a complete cultivation system built upon rhetoric, logic, psychology, persuasion, and the manipulation of conviction. However, the stronger the Verbal Arts become, the more terrifying their potential appears. A sword can injure the body. A spell can destroy the soul. But words? Words can make someone destroy themselves. As Charlie's techniques spread throughout the cultivation world, the righteous sects begin to condemn them, while demonic cultivators recognize their potential. Eventually, the Verbal Arts are classified as a branch of the Demonic Arts. Charlie, however, doesn't understand why everyone is so surprised. After all, he has never believed that a weapon needs to be made of metal. Sometimes... All you need is an argument. Note: - Daily Chapters for First 2 Weeks - Inspired By Charlie Kirk not the Real Charlie Kirk - No filters I will write it to the very detail even if this gets banned and if it does ill write in Patreon for Free - First 3 chapters are AI but I used my old novel as a blueprint since it kinda fit the novel and i decided to start this novel since I've always wanted to write a Novel where the MC only has Verbal Powers and I figured it's the best time to start.

The Doomsday Trials had one purpose: forge the ultimate warrior with the ultimate progression system. Not one place, not one time. All of time, to fight across every age of man, from the brutal stone age to a future of demonic hordes and twenty foot mechs. But the plan failed. No-one advanced. Everyone died and the trials were forgotten. Then Felix falls from the sky. Naked. Broken. Five hit points. Oh, and there’s a sabretooth tiger about to decorate the jungle floor with his guts. Great. Blasted to the dawn of humanity, Felix awakes in the savage past. No tutorial, the system hasn’t even been updated in centuries. But this place has rules and stats, and Felix knows how to exploit the hell out of both. Suddenly he’s doing what hasn’t been done in centuries – winning, advancing. Because the trials never needed a perfect warrior. Just an obsessive gamer. Right, plan. First? Don’t die. Next? A working HUD. Maybe some pants Chapter release 5x week M-F. 20 ahead on patreon 300k already written across three volumes. Cover by Alan Gomes
