Shen La, a special forces operative born with the Heavenly Eye, has been able to see ghosts since childhood. During a mission involving a supernatural incident, his abilities were exposed—leading to his recruitment by a hidden Chinese government agency: the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation. This mysterious organization is tasked with investigating and handling all manner of supernatural phenomena. Within the Bureau, Shen La encounters a group of uniquely gifted and eccentric colleagues, including a mysterious white-haired man known only as Invincible, and Sun Fatty, a genius with an exceptionally high IQ. Through a series of increasingly perilous encounters—including the resurrection of the Ancestor Shaman, the haunting Ghost Opera of Qinghe, and a ghost ship that has wandered for centuries—Shen La begins to grow both in power and insight. Yet as the cases deepen, a shadowy force behind the scenes begins to reveal itself. Its ultimate goal appears to be a secret manual said to grant immortality...

A soul out of place. A universe out of balance. A mission no one can know exists. Sebastian Dalton awakens in a world that shouldn't know him—in a body that isn't quite his own—with memories that defy the laws of reality. Shadows ripple beneath the surface of a galaxy marching toward catastrophe, and something deeper than war is unraveling behind the scenes. Guided by a voice no one else can hear and shaped by forces older than time, Sebastian must navigate a reality built on shifting truths. The future hinges not on conquest, but on subtle correction. And if he fails, what falls may not be just one galaxy. In the end, he isn't here to fight fate. He's here to replace it.

Hou Niao, devoted to seeking the Dao, found himself mistakenly sent as an undercover agent to the Demon Sword Sect, eagerly anticipating the day he’d be rewarded for his service and could return to the Daoist Sect… Only when he had become a towering figure in the Sword Dao did he sorrowfully realize that there was no one left with the power to recall him!

A thousand-year dynasty would inevitably face decay, and a hundred-year noble family would eventually return to dust. What in this world could last forever? Was it an Immortal Body, tempered a thousand times, or the Martial Arts will, in Heart Unity with heaven and earth? Chen Mu came to this world, his sword in hand, and when he turned back at dusk, countless heroes and millennium-old Demons had all turned to dust, leaving only one person on the road paved with yellow sand.

People are different. The more superior the bloodline, the easier it is to control power. Ordinary people without supernatural bloodlines can only occupy the bottom rungs of society, unable to achieve anything even if they try their best. Humans are different from other races. Humans aren't as good at magic and archery as elves. They aren't as good at casting metal and brewing alcohol as dwarves. They don't have the physique of orcs, and they don't have the freedom of merpeople underwater. However, if humans had a blood core, everything was possible. Human: "Oh my god, what a noble bloodline. You are the glory of mankind!" Elf: "I've never seen a magic genius like you." Dwarf: "No matter what kind of casting, it is easy for you." Orc: "You are the pride of us orcs. You are the most talented warrior in a millennium. You should be the Emperor of the Orcs!" Merpeople: "Son of God! Boohoo, the Son of God has arrived!"

The year is 2025. A devout Christian named Arthur Bennett wins a lottery to participate in a revolutionary virtual reality experience at a high-tech company called Elysium. The program utilizes a unique VR pod to immerse users in a world based on a popular anime. As the other participants—a mix of personalities with varying degrees of anime knowledge—prepare to enter the simulation, Arthur remains the only one who has never indulged in anime. Upon entering this new world, he discovers an unsettling truth: pain is excruciatingly real, despite the creators' claims of a dampened pain response. He eventually finds himself trapped in prison, unable to log out, and demanding to be released from the program. Calls go unanswered, and the world of ninjas becomes a nightmare where hunger, thirst, hygiene, and even death are all real. Angered that he was deceived, he abandons all sense of logic and vows to become a villain no one would have ever anticipated.

In a world where power isn’t just a privilege but a birthright, those born with supernatural abilities stand at the top—revered, feared, and often consumed by their own arrogance. The powerless? They’re left to survive in the shadows, treated as nothing more than an afterthought. Xavier was never supposed to escape that system. Created through the Superior Project, he was meant to be a weapon, nothing more. But fate had other plans. A scientist with a conscience risked everything to save him, giving him a new life in a foreign land. There, he found something he was never meant to have—friendship, family, and the freedom to choose his own path. But the past doesn’t let go so easily. As his powers begin to surface, so do the questions. Is he any different from those who see themselves as superior? Can he hold onto the humanity he’s found, or will power twist him like all the rest? And when the people who made him come looking, will he run? Or will he finally face the truth about who he really is? ------------------------------------------------- Support my book on other Sites :) : Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/story/368678204-project-superior-the-chronicles-of-the-unseen Royal Road: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/86403/project-superior-the-chronicles-of-the-unseen Scribblehub: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/1111001/project-superior-the-chronicles-of-the-unseen/

Orion was a homeless orphan living in the human settlement Central. The boy was, for lack of a better word, stupid—not because he lacked intelligence (no, he was actually pretty normal intellectually speaking), but what else would you call a person who smiled after getting beat to a pulp?! Stupid! STUPID THROUGH AND THROUGH! With his luck too, he was constantly getting beaten—punched by thieves, punched by beggars, punched by beggar thieves! But somehow, as long as he came out alive by the end, he thought it was a win. To him, the thrill of throwing himself into a helpless situation and coming out on top was exhilarating—the adrenaline pumping through his veins, the sweat running down his skin, the body aching from overuse. It was all so miserable, but somehow, when everything passed, he felt a rush of exstasy that surpassed all pain endured. Until the day came when he was met with a truly terrifying enemy. But he was used to it—steadying his resolve, analyzing the environment, and planning how to survive. But there was no surviving then. There was only death, and that was what awaited him. So he died… But he lived. And now, he was faced with two options for the future: help save humanity from doom, or aid its destruction. Note 1: HEAVILY inspired by Shadow Slave, this novel is an attempt at giving G3's masterpiece some of my own ideas. Not tagged as fanfiction because the story doesn’t happen in the same universe as Shadow Slave. Note 2: This storyu will skip a bit of context, but please take things at face value at first, i'll explain everything at the right time, i just don't want to give everybody walls of text of world building every 2 paragraphs.

With no instructions beyond a simple command to survive, Kale must adapt quickly to harness strange new abilities and navigate dangerous territories. In this unforgiving realm, humanity faces a stark choice: build, thrive, and fight—or perish. Communities rise from nothing as people band together, forming alliances and establishing bastions against the darkness that lurks beyond.

And will humanity survive long enough to discover the answer?

Rick Lane, a successful man in his 50s, built an empire of restaurants across the country. To the world, he's a self-made success story. But behind the polished smile and expensive suits lies a man burdened by regret. The greatest of these: losing Jenny Kane—the only woman he ever truly loved. One quiet night, Rick falls into an unusually vivid dream and wakes up sitting in an old wooden chair, surrounded by chalkboards and the scent of chalk dust. He's back in his college computer science class, at a small provincial university—only it's not just a dream. He's young again, in body and mind, with memories of the future still intact. At first, he thinks he's gone mad. But when the experience repeats, day after day—living his older life during daylight, then returning to his youth at night—he realizes he's been given a second chance. A rare, mysterious bridge between past and present. And this time, he’s determined not to lose Jenny. As Rick begins to alter his actions in the past, echoes of change ripple into his present. Some are beautiful. Others, darker and unexpected. The more he shapes the past, the more uncertain his future becomes. Friends disappear, new rivals emerge, and the restaurant empire begins to falter. Worse, Jenny in the present seems more like a stranger with every passing day. Now torn between his hard-earned legacy and a hauntingly fragile second chance at love, Rick must face the ultimate question: Can he truly rewrite the past to fix the future—or will he destroy everything he has left? A story of redemption, time, and the delicate cost of what we choose to hold onto.

In the aftermath of a cataclysmic 6.5 magnitude earthquake that shook Japan to its core, a domino effect of disasters unfurled across the globe. Tornadoes tore through the heartland of the United States, tsunamis engulfed coastal regions of Europe, and relentless floods submerged vast stretches of Africa. As chaos gripped the planet, whispers of inexplicable phenomena began to circulate. People vanished without a trace, leaving behind only their forsaken garments, sparking rumors of an otherworldly event akin to the long-prophesied Rapture. Yet, what descended from the heavens was not divine salvation, but a legion of monstrous entities emerging from a hellish portal, hellbent on sowing destruction and despair upon the remnants of humanity. Thus began their tyrannical reign over the Earth. Amidst the despair, a glimmer of hope emerged. Nine individuals, handpicked by divine providence from the depths of hell itself, were bestowed with a sacred mission: to confront and vanquish the escaped demons, quelling the infernal chaos that threatened to consume the world. For hell had broken loose, unleashing untold devastation upon the Earth, and these demons, freed from their infernal shackles, roamed unchecked, preying upon the souls of the living. As the righteous were raptured to safety, leaving sinners to face the consequences of their transgressions, a pact was forged between God and the denizens of hell. In exchange for their aid in vanquishing the demonic scourge and safeguarding humanity, these chosen nine from the depths of hell would be granted a chance at redemption, joining forces with the divine in the ultimate battle for salvation. Thus, these chosen ones were known as the Hell 9.
