Death was supposed to be the end. For Juno, it was just the beginning. A desperate pact with the Time Devil saves her life, freezing her illness and dragging her into Devil Town on borrowed time. There she meets the Creator, the most dangerous demon in existence, who insists they share a soul and won't stop smiling about it. He says he can help her, says they're connected. But he's also a liar. When the people she swore to protect start dying in visions that feel disturbingly prophetic, Juno has to decide: trust the monster who claims he can save them, or refuse and watch the prophecy unfold exactly as written. The problem is, she's starting to think he wrote it himself. • • • Content Warning: Contains scenes of violence and dark themes that may be disturbing to some readers.

Echo of the Shapers(Draft phase )

In the Astrum Imperium, power follows a single law: ascend or be crushed beneath those who do. Humanity rules the Solar System through the Paths of power-an ancient Ascension system that allows the Awakened to wield fragments of divine Authority. The Imperium recognizes eight ranks, from the first Spark to the legendary Divine. Those who rise become rulers, generals, and living weapons. Those who fail vanish inside the deadly trials known as Domain Echoes. Darien Halcrest is sixteen and born on the frozen moon of Callisto, far from the shining capitals of the Inner Worlds. The son of a disgraced noble family, his future depends on one thing: surviving the brutal Crucible Academy on Terra and mastering his Ice Affinity. If he succeeds, he can restore his family's honor. If he fails, he becomes another forgotten cadet swallowed by the Imperium's ruthless hierarchy. But the system humanity depends on is not as perfect as it seems. Deep inside an Imperial transport ship, an ancient artifact that has slept for ten thousand years begins to awaken. When it does, the fragile structure holding the Imperium together will start to fracture. And somewhere in the darkness between worlds, something unwritten is waiting. Darien Halcrest only wanted to climb the Path. Instead, he may become the one who breaks it.

Echoes of the Silent Sky

Year 2147. The Sun stops—not dead, not dimmed, but *paused*. Fusion ceases for 11 minutes and 43 seconds every 72 hours. A silence with a pattern. A signal. Astrophysicist Dr. Ella Vayne decodes the sun's tremors and discovers the frequency matches human brain theta waves. Not coincidence. Something is broadcasting to Earth—or waking something *in* Earth. Recruited into a black-ops mission, Ella and ex-special forces operative Kasen Reed are sent to a remote Martian research base. The scientists there report footsteps in the dead of the base—footsteps that echo from 300 meters below, where satellite scans show only empty rock. What they find buried beneath Mars isn't a ship. It's a **memory vessel**—a relic built by a civilization that encoded its final moments into a structure that responds to human neural patterns. And Ella's brainwaves? They sync perfectly with the sun's silence. They always have. She wasn't chosen. She was *made* for this. But someone on Earth is building a tower—a transmitter. They don't want to receive the signal. They want to **reply**. The question isn't who sent the silence. It's who—or what—will answer back.

Edwin Lunar

Living on the outskirts of the futuristic city of Vestella, Edwin survives by repairing broken machines and forgotten technology while carrying the pain of losing his parents at a young age. The only things left behind by them are a mysterious silver ring and an old scarf — relics from a past Edwin barely remembers. But everything changes when a hidden organization discovers him. Taken to the legendary moon-world of Noroel, Edwin enters the secretive Lunar Dominion Academy, a massive fortress where gifted children are trained to become elite warriors capable of controlling the power of the Eternal Flame — an ancient energy source that powers entire civilizations. As Edwin struggles to adapt to the dangerous academy life, he forms unexpected friendships with the intelligent Iris and the loyal Carl while facing powerful rivals, brutal training, and mysteries buried deep beneath the academy walls. Yet strange things begin happening around him. Systems malfunction in his presence. Ancient machines react to his father’s ring. And voices hidden inside forbidden networks begin calling his name. Soon Edwin uncovers the terrifying truth about Groader — a former academy prodigy whose obsession with the Eternal Flame nearly destroyed Noroel years ago. Though officially dead, rumors claim Groader’s consciousness still survives somewhere within hidden systems beneath the academy. When a sealed underground sector known as Sector Zero suddenly awakens after twelve years of silence, Edwin realizes his connection to Noroel runs far deeper than anyone imagined. And the truth about his parents’ deaths may change the future of the entire system forever.

Fleeting Memories.

This story is about a boy and a girl who like each other, but they don't know if the other person likes them back. Let's see if they're able to confess their feelings or not... in time. Read at your own risk. Reading this might feel like a half-dead experience because there is absolutely no life in my writing yet. This is just a random thing I am trying to write. I have no actual idea how to write, I am just doing it because the idea seemed fun. I am not good at grammar or the structured form of writing, so things might be all over the place. Basically, do not read it. It is just a random thing I am trying to do. So YEAH, DO NOT READ, NOT GOOD, ALRIGHT?

Fuck Around And Build Out! [Isekai, LitRPG, Comedy, Kingdom Building]

Oswald lived a good and decent life, though far too quiet, dying at its end with no regrets for the choices he made, but harboring until the very end foolish dreams of how things could have been otherwise. And, as if to reward him for the man he was, or perhaps curse him for wanting even more, the world gave him a second chance to become a 'hero', to achieve the glory, however questionable, he had always dreamed of.

Gaia's Second Champion

Pulled from the River of Souls by a goddess, I’m given a choice: become her champion and defeat the enemy, or cease to exist. A second chance at life. Sounds simple, right? Yeah—no. The goddess is hiding something. The power I asked for? Not what she gave me. It was supposed to save my life, now it takes them. Yeah, that’s going to have consequences. My first friend? A Fae creature with secrets she’s too stubborn to tell, burdened by a past she regrets, and a punishment keeping her trapped between who she is, and who she used to be. Together we’ll fight, survive, and perhaps change things, and one another, if we live long enough. As we travel a world that doesn’t trust champions or Fae, the truth about the goddess’ struggle begins to unravel. I wasn’t brought here to save this world. I was brought here for something else entirely. This is an isekai romantasy, a tale about second chances and forgiveness, found family and the bonds that keep people together. It’s also about a fish out of water MC stumbling his way from one potential disaster to the next and the FMC who fights at his side. WHAT TO EXPECT : NO harem A romance integral to the plot Spice, mild to heavy, beginning in Vol 2 2 POVs Dialogue heavy, with fun banter Pulpy-style prose Updates M/W/F, large backlog, 60k+ new words/month.

Gematrail — Echo Observer — Lævateinn

There is a layer to this story that cannot be reached through the surface plot alone. Clues have been deliberately woven throughout the story for the author and readers to uncover together. Everything needed to reach it should already exist in the knowledge and tools we possess, yet it has not fallen into anyone’s hands—not yet. As you read on, the story quietly waits for someone to notice. *** DEVOUR. The ordinary. The reality. The world. Despair, hope, good and evil—none are permitted. The prophecy is fulfilled here. Soon, the world will lose everything. And the man who once saved it has already lost himself. *** The boundary between illusion and reality had long since ceased to exist. In the year 20XX, without warning or precedent, Monsters emerged — consuming cities, devouring lives, swallowing the world’s last reserves of hope whole. And then, when humanity had nearly surrendered to despair, a Savior appeared. What awaited him was a death sentence — the charge: high treason against the state. Stripped of everything that had ever made him himself, he was cast into a cold and indifferent sea. Yet even there, sinking through the abyss, a light found him — the luminance of a Goddess, merging with what remained of his shattered soul. Darkness coiled around him like a living thing, its tendrils hungry and absolute. And still, against all reason, he was pulled back to the surface. He returned with nothing. No past. No name. No self. They gave him a new one — Ariwara Yūki — and with it, a second life stitched together from silence and borrowed time. Beside him walked Sano Amana, the girl who would become his anchor, and for a while, the two of them knew something that almost resembled ordinary days. Then the Monsters came back. They always come back. As his own memories continue to bleed away, Yūki pursues the vanishing silhouette of Amana — drawn ever deeper into a storm where government conspiracies and the ambitions of shadowed factions grind against each other like tectonic plates. He was once the Savior of this world. Now he has nothing. So what, exactly, can a man with nothing left — do? *** Comedy / Ecchi / Fantasy / Harem / Horror / Mature / Mystery / Romance / School Life / Sci-fi / Slice of Life / Supernatural / Tragedy From Japanese Full-length light novel This translation is provided by the author.
