NEW DAWN In the decaying sprawl of a post-industrial mega-city where corruption thrives in the towers of the elite and the oppressed scavenge for dignity in the shadows, a figure has emerged—neither savior nor tyrant, but something far more dangerous: a man who believes in change. He is known only as Ashar, a former enforcer turned political outlier, forged by tragedy and tempered by exile. Once a tool of the system he now seeks to dismantle, Ashar walks the fine line between revolutionary and renegade. Clad in a mask not just to shield his face, but to symbolize the anonymity forced on millions, he rallies the disillusioned and the forgotten. But Ashar is not a myth. He bleeds. He doubts. He remembers the family he lost to the government's silent purges. Haunted by the ghosts of his past and burdened by the hope of a better future, he steps into the light of a New Dawn—not to lead a rebellion, but to ignite one. As the powers that be scramble to extinguish this growing spark, factions form, loyalties fracture, and the line between justice and vengeance blurs. In a world where truth has been weaponized and trust is a luxury, Ashar stands not as a hero—but as a mirror held up to a broken society. And what that society sees... may finally tear it apart.

A story of Kurokawa Paddington a boy banished from the prestigious Nesdyrian Monarch and sent to the city of Greyman. A city in which the supernatural exists, a city that is the habitat of the Grey Fly, a cursed insect that grants gift tailored to ones soul. But the gift does not come for free,all those who have received one experience no happiness or any other positive emotion on the last year of their lives. [Warning: Contains graphic content.

An Imperial Scholar by day. An assassin by night. The World of Cultivation has changed. Elemental Mancers. Flux Mancers. Spirit Mancers. Soul Mancers. Raining down fire and splitting oceans. Destroying mountains with a single stomp and calming skies with a glance. Controlling the tides of Karma, while wielding the souls of others like a puppeteer tugging on the Lines of Fate. The most mysterious of them all were Spirit Mancers, a truth that Theron was more than intimately familiar with. Due to one's Tribulation, his life was turned upside down. His family, his rage, his somber sadness becoming nothing more than Bad Karma's fuel for a madman. He was once a gentle young man, a non-combative Water Mancer who wanted nothing more than to read his novels to the sound of the rain and one day become an Imperial Scholar. But now... Everything had changed. He donned a cloak in the silent night as the clouds above gathered. Pulling its hood over his chilling blue eyes, he stalked off into the darkness. The first droplets fell. He would become the nightmare of his enemies, the blade hidden in the shadows of Heaven's tears. The River of the Night.

"Rosse... huh..." Rosse stared blankly at the boy in the mirror, momentarily at a loss for words. The boy in the mirror had a smooth and fair face, well-defined features, exuding a sense of cold and stern aura. His deep, dark eyes shimmered with captivating light, and his whole body radiated a noble temperament. He had transmigrated, or perhaps it was memory awakening, and directly became a Celestial Dragon. ’This is just, way too good!’ However, his identity was a bit awkward. His name was Jaygarcia Rosse, a standard Celestial Dragon name, and his grandfather was Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the current Five Elders, and also the first Five Elder to be removed in the original One Piece. ——— [Ding!

Year 2212. The world is in ruins. Nuclear scars burn across the continents. Most nations are gone — reduced to ash in the opening acts of World War 4. Only four global superpowers remain: India, The Soviet Federation , The American Dominion, and China. This war isn’t for glory or gods. It’s for survival. Amid this chaos, one man rises. Codename: Shoonya — a soldier stripped of identity, a ghost with the highest tactical rank in Akhand Bharat's forces. His mind is a weapon sharper than any missile, capable of turning losing battles into massacres. Cold. Ruthless. Brilliant. As alliances shatter and betrayals erupt, Shoonya leads covert strikes, impossible defenses, and devastating counterattacks. But with the world inching toward total annihilation, and whispers of a final “Zero Protocol” surfacing — the last act of war may not be survival... It may be obliteration. The gods are long gone. Now, only man decides fate.

The story is set half a year after a global catastrophe that plunged Earth into a desolate, post-apocalyptic state. The land is scarred with fissures, and a perpetual black haze covers the sky. Humanity struggles to survive, moving in large, desperate convoys. Amidst this chaos, mutated creatures have emerged, alongside two new types of humans: Zombies, mindless beings that devour anything living, and Evolved Humans, who have gained enhanced physical abilities and can grow stronger by consuming crystals found in mutated creatures. Lu Yin is one such Evolved Human, designated as "one-zero-three." The first chapter introduces Lu Yin as he guards a convoy of survivors. He's skilled and ruthless, dispatching a mutated dog with ease but noting the wear on his makeshift weapon. The survivors rely on fire to keep mutated beasts at bay during the night, as travel in the dark is deadly. Lu Yin, despite his strength, carries a deep personal burden. He recalls a traumatic event where half his body was burned during a city's destruction, witnessing the "condescending eyes and dazzling golden light" of a powerful figure named Liu Shaoge, also known as the Light Saint, one of the "Seven Saints" – the most powerful Sky-level Evolved Humans. Lu Yin harbors a strong desire for revenge against him. The chapter also highlights the moral decay in the new world. Lu Yin observes sexual assault occurring within the convoy, initially choosing to ignore it as a "normal" consequence of the apocalypse. However, he intervenes when a specific group of evolved humans crosses his line, forcefully warning them off and asserting his dominance. He later receives a cryptic warning about a plot against him from another evolved human. The journey to Jinling, a large survivor base ruled by the Figure Saint Zhou Shan, is fraught with danger. The convoy faces a terrifying Earth-level mutated vine that massacres many, forcing the entire group to flee. Relief comes only with news that a Saint, Zhou Shan, will personally come to their aid, signaling the immense reverence and hope placed in these top-tier powerhouses by the survivors. The chapter sets up a bleak world where survival is a daily struggle, humanity's darkness is laid bare, and powerful individuals, both heroic and villainous, shape the new order. Lu Yin stands out as a formidable, yet deeply scarred, individual with a clear personal vendetta.

Hananoi Tojiko is a figure shrouded in controversy, a human being who has long wished he had never been born. From his earliest memories, he saw himself as a miserable creature, cursed by existence itself. At the age of eight, he attempted to end his life—a desperate act that not only failed but also set his life spiraling into chaos. His mother’s hatred for him grew venomous, and the violent fights between his parents became the backdrop of his shattered childhood. When the news of his suicide attempt spread like a plague through the neighborhood, the shame and scrutiny became unbearable, forcing him to flee Japan, a broken boy exiled from his own home. Years later, Hananoi returns to Japan, a shadow of his former self, yet bearing the title of a recommended student at Noriko High School—a prestigious institution reserved for the elite. The school is a gilded cage, filled with the children of powerful families, prodigies, and those destined for greatness. But beneath its polished surface lies a world of cutthroat ambition, hidden cruelty, and unspoken rules. Hananoi, with his fractured psyche and the scars of his past, is an outsider in this world of privilege. His return is not a homecoming; it is a collision. His nemesis, a figure from his past, lurks in the shadows, waiting to reignite their bitter rivalry. And within Hananoi’s mind, the demons of his childhood still linger, whispering doubts and feeding his darkest impulses. Will he find a way to confront the darkness that has followed him since childhood, or will it consume him entirely? In a world where power and influence reign supreme, Hananoi’s tormented mind may be his greatest weapon—or the chain that drags him into the abyss.

Kai's story begins in a cold holding cell - with no memories and nothing to live for. Just pain and rage. Broken, like the world around him. That’s when everything went black... The next thing he knew, he awoke as a mutant! Seven years earlier, in 2020, the Z Virus outbreak shattered the world. Cities fell. Beasts and monsters ravaged the streets. And from the chaos, mutants emerged - humans twisted by the virus into something more. A gift and a curse. But Kai didn’t mutate from the virus. He was made. The first and only stable artificial mutant, created by the twisted genius Dr Nyx - a man who failed to replicate him and spiralled into obsession. Tortured. Experimented on. Pushed to the edge. Kai finally escaped after his awakening, but the scars remained. And so did the power. Now free, Kai is cold, calculating, and merciless. His ability to manipulate blood - his own or others' - is terrifying. But to him, it’s just a tool. One he’ll wield without hesitation. In a ruined world ruled by the Association, mutants, and the strong, Kai has no interest in saving it. He wants answers about his past, the truth behind his mutation, and revenge on the man who tormented him. Only one thing is certain: He who bleeds last writes the story... even if it’s in crimson ink on the bones of the fallen. This is the story of the Bloodweaver! Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

Rejected by his mother. Humiliated by his brother. Beaten and cast out by the man who called himself “father.” In a world where power comes through Enlightenment and energy reigns supreme, Akshay is thrown into the streets—alone, hated, and powerless.

He becomes something deeper, older, and far more dangerous. He will rise without mercy. Manipulate without guilt. Love only if it leads to power. With no system. With no fate guiding him. He walks a path against the will of all.

He was born with cursed eyes. Loved by few. Hated by many. Then the sky took his parents in a fire that wasn’t fate—it was design. Now Kael Veilheart walks through shadows, hunted by truths no one dares to see. Visions haunt him. A throne calls. And a blade—bound in blood—waits to be claimed. Power whispers. Vengeance sings. And somewhere in the silence... he answers.

Requiem System: DEATH is My Guide What if your only way to live… was to become someone else? Seventeen-year-old Kael wakes up after death—only to find himself in a girl’s body. He doesn’t know her name, but her memories bleed into his. Her voice slips into his thoughts. And the worst part? It was DEATH’s idea. Chosen by a mysterious AI called REQUIEM, Kael is forced into a deadly system where every kill gives him power—and every choice pulls him further from who he used to be. Other Requiem users roam the world, hungry for strength, twisted by the same power that now changes him. Haunted by two lives, hunted by monsters in human skin, Kael must survive long enough to learn the truth: why DEATH chose him, who the girl really was, and what it means to lose yourself… just to stay alive. Because in this world, dying was just the beginning.

Villain System: Activated > Alignment: Chaotic Evil Objective: Obey the plot, serve the empire, die like a good villain. Yeah, no thanks. I woke up as Dorian Valen—sadistic noble, arsonist, war criminal, mid-tier villain with a face everyone wants to stab. The story wants me to beg for my life, cough up secrets, and die at sunrise so the hero can get a shiny new power-up. Been there, read that. But I'm not here to follow the script. I'm here to flip the table. I’ll expose the cracks in the empire, dismantle the hero’s halo, weaponize every trope, and corrupt the system that tried to cage me. And if I have to burn the world down to do it? Well… I’ve got the villain system. Might as well make it earn its name.

Hello! Author here, this is my attempt of trying to create a deep philosophical work on martial arts, I was heavily inspired by Kengan Asura/Omega, Vagabond, and Vinland Saga

Win a thousand fights—or die in the sand. Caelvir was thrown into the Dust Arena, starving, beaten, and forgotten. To the Queen of Velrane, he’s nothing. A disposable son. A pack of meat and blood locked away to be feasted on. He fights. Quietly. With hate saved only for her. Every battle makes him stronger. Every breath brings him closer. To freedom. To a promise. To whatever comes next.
