The ancient Buddha's head was stolen by a monster with a human body and a sheep's head. The Ghost buried an eye in the Buddha's temple, and from then on, the world's fire was extinguished, and darkness engulfed the continent. To combat the Ghost' invasion, the gods of day and night were born between heaven and earth. This is a narrative passed down for generations by storytellers. What was the true nature of the ancient Buddha, the Ghost, and the wandering gods of day and night on the once great continent? Perhaps, traces can be found in a troupe named 'Zhou Family Troupe.' The Zhou Family Troupe, is a troupe that performs operas specifically for the dead...

"You dragged me into this world. Now you kneel in it." — Tim Slokov By day, Tim Slokov was a quiet office drone. By night, a ruthless online critic of fantasy novels. But when a mysterious force transmigrates him into the dying body of an elven outcast—doomed and powerless—Tim realizes he’s become the tragic background character of someone else’s story. Only he refuses to die quietly. Denied justice, Tim is granted a single gift: the Shattered Necromancy System, a broken power fueled by death itself. [Seek Me, O Death — Passive]: Every kill becomes a servant. Every soul feeds his army. [Death Embrace — Active]: He becomes what he commands—gaining the power of his dead. [Arise — Active]: The battlefield becomes his stage, where his fallen rise again. Armed with cursed power, Tim must evolve himself—and his ever-growing legion of the dead—to claw his way up a world that wants him erased. But vengeance is only the beginning. As his strength grows, so does the truth behind his forced arrival... and the god-like force that wants him broken. Tim isn’t here to play the hero. He’s here to rewrite fate—one death at a time.

Carlos Valois thought dying once was enough—until he woke up as a 10-year-old in the world of "The Dark Era," a game he'd mastered in his previous life. Born as the last heir of a fallen noble house, Carlos discovers he's destined for a tragic fate: in six years, he'll be manipulated into joining the dark forces and killed by his own childhood friend. But this time, he has the ultimate cheat code—memories of the future. While other kids play with toys, Carlos hunts for divine legacies. Using his game knowledge, he performs an ancient ritual and steals a Demigod Mark from the thousand-year Sacred Oak—a power that should have remained hidden for decades. At 15, Carlos awakens as a Death Herald with broken stats that shouldn't be possible. Most Death Heralds are fragile summoners hiding behind weak skeletons. But Carlos combines his necromancy with stolen divine abilities, creating a hybrid build that turns him into an unstoppable force. ..... [Skeleton Warrior has successfully evolved into Purple Thornblade Skeleton Guard!] [Purple Thornblade Skeleton Guard has activated Bond: Glory of the Purple Thornblades!] [Twelve Purple Thornblade Guards have formed an Undead Armored Knight Legion!] ..... His skeleton warriors aren't cannon fodder—they're elite undead legions enhanced beyond normal limits through secret evolution paths that took thousands of players years to discover. Every "coincidental" encounter is actually Carlos farming legendary opportunities. While his sister thinks he's just a lucky genius, Carlos systematically raids every hidden treasure, secret technique, and forgotten legacy he remembers from the game. Ancient bloodlines, divine artifacts, mystical cultivation methods—if it exists, he's taking it. With his infinitely evolving undead legion, Carlos set out on a path to rewrite destiny and become the supreme Death Herald legend.

In the celestial realm, he was feared by all. The God of Death, the eternal judge, the one who ferried souls through the River of Oblivion. Yet even gods are not safe from betrayal. Branded as a villain and stripped of his divine power, he was cast into oblivion by the very one who created him — the God of Creation. But death does not end the Reaper. Reborn into a mortal world torn by war and divine control, he awakens with a single truth — the gods are corrupt, and he will burn their thrones to ash. With no system, no prophecy, and no mercy, he rises not as a hero… But as the final villain of the gods' story. “They called me evil. Now I will show them what evil truly is.”

Chen Xiaoyun, an orphan from Guangzhou, China, once met a girl who looked remarkably like him. Before he could learn more about her, a deadly virus was unleashed around the globe. Humans turned into creatures straight out of video games and movies, and zombies and mutants roamed the streets with no one to stop them. From tanks to jockeys to even invisible zombies and mutated dogs. The mutations are just endless. "Why is there a zombie apocalypse just as I find my family? And why can I suddenly create things from thin air?" Will Xiaoyun survive the chaos with the new people he meets along the way? Will he use his newfound abilities to bring peace to a devastated world? Or perhaps he will just take another nap in the bed like a lazy pig—— "Shut up. How am I supposed to do anything when you keep throwing women at me?" ____________ Author's note: The main character grows as the story develops. Although he's very naive from the beginning, he matures a lot as the story progresses. There is no NTR or Yuri unless you consider the main character's woman sharing his 'stuff' in a threesome as Yuri, in which case I have nothing for you. Some of the love interests are related to the main character. Discord server if you want to talk or have questions: https://discord.gg/hnXMFwfVR3

Waking up in another world... it should be a dream come true. But for someone who lived seventy years on Earth with few regrets and a life long and full, this new beginning comes stained with blood, death, and chains. The old woman she was didn't ask for a second chance, let alone one in the body of an undead werewolf who was once Commander of an army of horrors. Yet freedom from the yoke of the Aterior Zephyr brought no peace—only unanswered questions and a guilt that isn't hers to bear, but feels like her own. While struggling to understand whether this is a lucid dream, divine punishment, or a cruel twist of fate, she must confront the memories of a life that isn't hers, the hatred of the living, and the flickering promise of redemption in a world where hope lies buried in ruins. Amidst former allies, cursed weapons, and inner monsters, Astharothe Merryck won't just fight to survive... she'll fight to live up to her name.

Many dream of a second chance in another world, but not every dream unfolds the way you’d hope. Reborn into the Harry Potter universe as a squib, Edward begins at the lowest rung in a society that looks down on non-magical individuals. Yet, Edward is determined not to be defined by this. Refusing to stay powerless, he sets out to prove that magic is more than just a wand's wave.

Harry Potter’s fourth year at Hogwarts ends with a bang—and not in the fun, magical kind of way. Instead, he’s dragged into a Ministry of Magic trial for the heinous crime of not letting himself or a Muggle get murdered by dementors. As if that’s not bad enough, his so-called friends? Nowhere to be found. Some allies they turned out to be. But if the Ministry thinks Harry’s going to roll over and take it, they’ve got another thing coming. Fed up with the nonsense, Harry decides it’s time to ditch the drama, reclaim his life, and show the wizarding world what he’s really made of. He’s got a plan—a brilliant, bold, maybe slightly bonkers plan—and it starts with walking away from the lot of them. Watch out, wizarding world—this Harry Potter isn’t holding back anymore!

Everyday was the same for Skullius. An Undead minion of the lowest order like him, didn’t have to find a grand purpose… other than mining mana gems for his Lich master, of course. His peers thought so. They lacked ambition. To be fair, so did he. But there was just that something that kept nagging at him. A spark that no other skeleton seemed to have. Other than being the sassy bullshitter obsessed with mana that he was, why did Skullius vaguely remember being something other than a Moronic Undead drone once? What had come before his Undeath? In the end, it was this spark that allowed our atrocious hero to escape the clutches of his evil master and reach another world. And it is in this world, chock full of dangers – most beckoned by Skullius’ abnormally horrendous luck, to be honest – that the skeleton’s journey begins. In Aigas – the new world – he prepared for the greatest getback of an age armed with a power greater than that of the Liches of Deadmanland! ...... [Author’s Answers To Popular Readers’ Questions] Q: (IHateArjuun77) -Hey author, is your book trash?- A: (Author) -Haha, screw you dear reader. The answer is NO. The story has elements of comedy, action, magic, adventure and Brutality. Like it gets really dark sometimes. There’s a comprehensive story with characters that I tried my damndest to NOT make generic on top of a cool power system that’s for the most part easy to understand. So its not trash. Q: (IFreakingHateArjuun56) -Hey author why is your first volume so slow paced and... trash?- A: (Author) -Haha. It’s how I designed the First Volume to be. It’s a fun setup that doesn’t focus on many things other than the MC’s mentality, powers and route of progression. The next volumes are normal paced, focusing on the world, the villains and general expansion but all while still retaining the book theme and fun experience- Q: (ShadeIsAPervert001) -Hey author, I instinctively sense that I’ll hate this book, when should I drop? A: (Author) -Is this the same reader?! Anyway, I’ll give a range. Read a minimum of the first 20 chapters to a max of up to chapter 44 before you decide on anything too rash.

He has been summoned into Atreaum as its new court mortician, by the Half-Dead Queen Marguerite.

As he uncovers the truth behind the Mortician’s legacy, an orchard that grows from sorrow, and a forgotten Daughter who was never meant to choose love, Lucian must decide what kind of death is worth writing… …and which ones deserve to live.

Left with nothing but shame, poverty, and a dying mother he couldn’t afford to save, Leon was supposed to fade into the slums of Armathor. But fate had other plans. That night, a glowing blue screen appeared before him: [Zombie Lord System Activated] Unlike the normal hunter systems, this one let him raise the dead — not as mindless puppets, but as evolving warriors with real strength, real tactics... and real loyalty. “F-Rank?

Because when the world discards you, you don’t beg for a seat at the table. You build your own army and take the damn throne.

Disclaimer: Be patient with this one there are a few... 1st -This is a story where there will be some hot scenes (later down the line) 2nd- As for the start of the story, it is an Academy setting, but it's not the main premise, it's a full world to explore, with continents and dungeon crawling and battles A LOT of battles,. But this academy is the starting point. So please don't judge it poorly 3d- There will be no filler chapters!

❗[Current Writing Contest-WebNovel Spirity Awards 2025 Fantas]❗ Flain grew up in a futuristic world. When he was born his parents didn't want him because he didn't live up to their expectations and so he ended up very badly. Flain was employed as a slave. He was forced to mine radioactive iron deep in the mines. It was drilled into his head that he existed only to obey orders. Young Flain was obedient. He doubted some of it but knew nothing else. For years, he never saw a single ray of light; light was only spoken of among the others as a legend. The routine was the same: in the morning, he would take a nutrient tablet and water. Then he would mine all day, sleep eight hours, and repeat. Flain worked like this from childhood until he was ten years old. He even found a friend, but that friend died of radiation poisoning right in front of Flain. Flain couldn't stop mining. He kept mining with tears streaming down his face. Before bed, Flain cried. "I will become the strongest. I will kill you all, and you will become my slaves." Flain stopped crying, stared blankly at the rocky ceiling, then looked ahead. A manic grin appeared on his face, one that would often adorn it from that moment on. At the age of ten, Flain was assigned to a military camp due to his endurance in the mines and his survival against radiation. In the camp, Flain was trained. The regime was much looser; he even had an hour of free time each day. However, Flain didn't make any more friends. Even during his free time, he trained with a smile. He would achieve his goal at any cost, even if it meant training himself to death. Experiments were conducted on Flain. He lost his hair, two long gray arms grew on his back, and a third red eye appeared. Flain became a mutant. Flain was then sent to war. He fought with sharp katabas. He performed quite well in the war, earning himself command of ten soldiers and becoming a small commander. But one day, everything changed. Flain then dies, is swallowed by darkness, and Flain refuses to die, thus appearing as a skeleton in a fantasy world.
