ASCENDANTS OF THE FALLEN EARTH "When fire fell, silver whispered." The night the sky bled silver, a comet tore Earth open, unleashing Celestia—a raw, living power that reshaped the world. Now, in a fractured age of overgrown ruins and mutated beasts, humanity clings to existence in underground havens, where some are born with its volatile light in their veins. Eris, fifteen and touched by the silver, battles the untamed power that threatens to consume him. Kaylah, remains his fiercely loyal anchor, her presence a shield against the monstrous transformation he fears. But their fragile peace is crumbling. Ruthless Awakened clans seek to control or eliminate those like Eris, and in the deep tunnels, a mysterious force, marked by a pulsing spiral, awakens to his unique resonance. ASCENDANTS OF THE FALLEN EARTH is a haunting post-apocalyptic fantasy about unbreakable bonds, the terrifying evolution of power, and the desperate fight to reclaim humanity from the ashes of a transformed world. This work is my first foray into this fantasy world — it's raw, growing, and shaped by your eyes too. I hope you'll walk these tunnels and the ruins with them -- so many to discover! "WHEN THE SKY BLED SILVER" was the first title of this novel

Another fifteen years and the seventh Derium Trials commence, a brutal gauntlet where thousands risked their lives for the promise of a new reality-a world of magic, freedom, and the chance to live the perfect life one could only dream of. Isaac Fulden is one of the few who made it through. Now, he's to embark on his new life in this alternate world-one that's everything they said it would be, and everything they didn't.

A world where demons, monsters, and corrupt beasts roam uncontrolled. Humanity is hunted from all sides, by both internal and external enemies, with no apparent salvation, and all I can do is pray to survive in a place where life is as fleeting as a whisper.

Hallo, Greetings. Often times great minds like to speculate & argue on the philosophical question: What is Life about? Well, rather than entertaining this notion, isn't it much more interesting to ask personally impactful questions? Is there an essence to us? What is the Essence of this guy? That girl? That phenomenon? When answering this question, we ultimately approach the existential Quantum Essence. Therefore.... ....more questions need to be asked; 1.What is Quantum Essence ? 2.What does Quantum Essence Embody ? 3.How to approach the Quantum Essence ? Note; #- This book strictly adheres to all rules & regulations set by the how-to- Web Novel guidance manual.

In a world of perfect data, he is the only unknown variable. In the year 2085, the Shadow Corporation doesn’t just run the city—it runs your life. Through a global neural network, every heartbeat, every credit spent, and every fleeting thought is tracked, analyzed, and predicted. Systemic perfection is no longer a goal; it’s the law. Chano was never meant to be part of the equation. To the world, he’s just a "nerdy" low-level technician. But beneath his unassuming exterior lies a brilliant mind that sees the glitches in the world's perfect code. Operating in the darkest corners of the web, he has discovered a terrifying truth: Shadow Corp isn't just predicting the future; they are deleting those who don't fit into it. When Chano accidentally stumbles upon a phantom protocol, he becomes the only thing the system cannot calculate—a ghost in the machine. Flanked by Bella, the cold and calculated CEO of a rival tech giant who needs Chano to survive a corporate coup, and Rina, a brilliant Japanese hacker whose street-smart fashion hides a lethal digital mastery, Chano must navigate a landscape of holographic lies and high-stakes espionage. As the Shadow War begins, the lines between human and program blur. Can one man’s unpredictability topple an empire of absolute certainty? Or will the Shadow Corporation finally solve its only unknown variable?

Elena had always lived a quiet, ordinary life—until one night, everything changed. Dragged into the world of Dante Moretti, the head of a ruthless criminal empire, she quickly discovers that power is not about wealth or fear—it’s about control, influence, and survival. He doesn’t ask for her trust. He doesn’t offer freedom. He simply claims what he wants—and she is his newest acquisition. Trapped in a world of shadows, alliances, and danger, Elena must navigate a man who controls everything and everyone around him. Each day is a lesson in obedience, observation, and instinct. Each choice could mean survival—or destruction. But Dante is not just a master of power. He is precise, possessive, and intoxicating in ways Elena cannot ignore. Fear and fascination intertwine, and slowly, impossibly, she begins to see that some empires cannot be escaped… and some men cannot be resisted. In a world where every action has a price, Elena will discover that survival is only the beginning—and desire may be the most dangerous lesson of all.

This romantic fantasy will tear your heart apart. Every twist delivers hard-won truths, sweeping emotion, and an unforgettable adventure. By day, Sienna Kane is a quiet librarian. By weekend, she’s a thrill seeker pushing her limits—training relentlessly for her first triathlon. But nothing prepares her for being torn from her world and thrown into Bestia, a savage realm where beasts rule and predators wear human skin. Hunted by creatures that shift between monster and man, Sienna is saved by Gideon, the formidable Wolf King of Juno. He wastes no time telling her the truth: she is his destined mate. Sienna wants none of it. She wants answers. She wants safety. Most of all, she wants to go home. Lost, frightened, and cursed as a bad omen by the very kingdom meant to protect her, Sienna finds herself isolated—except for Gideon, whose instincts insist she is far more than she appears. As she plots her escape, something impossible awakens within her: the power of fire. And with it, the unsettling realization that Bestia may be bound to her fate. Her escape from Juno is anything but clean. Thrust from one realm to another, Sienna crosses paths with powerful rulers—Rocco, the seductive Sea King; Talon, the unyielding King of Avion; and Aron, the enigmatic King of Bolivé. Wherever she goes, change follows. Balance shifts. Old prophecies stir. Sienna soon learns the truth behind her arrival: she is the reincarnation of Eriu, the Goddess of Abundance—and with that power comes devastating responsibility, dangerous conditions, and a fate she never asked for. To survive Bestia, Sienna must adapt to its brutal laws, embrace bonds she fears, and make an impossible choice. Along her journey, she will face betrayal and devotion, forge unlikely alliances, and uncover strengths—and desires—she never knew she possessed. Kings will rise against one another for her love. The world will bend beneath her presence. Will Sienna bring peace—or chaos—to Bestia? Who will she choose when love becomes a battlefield? And will she ever find her way back to the human world… or has Bestia already claimed her heart?

What do you do when you realize that you are constantly being reborn into one of the many books you have read during your past lifetime? Well, if you are like me, you pray you get whisked into a good book and steal the main characters' attention by becoming their best friend. Or, you could be like the majority and try to avoid the main characters. (It will not work, but you do you.) But, why are the main characters' so difficult to find?

Inside the red walls of the Forbidden City, the most dangerous predator isn't the Emperor's political rivals—it is the man who guards his bedroom door, a beast in silk robes waiting for the moon to bleed. The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a celebration of celestial harmony in China. Instead, the Forbidden City was bathed in the copper scent of blood. Three high-ranking officials were found shredded within a locked treasury, their bodies bearing wounds that no human blade could inflict. Lin Xiyao, a physician ignored by her peers, is summoned to analyze the remains. Using her Heavenly Forensic extraction technique, she discovers a single, silver-white hair—a clue that leads directly to the Emperor’s most trusted shadow, Lu Yan, the Commander of the Jinyiwei. Lu Yan is a man of cold steel and lethal silence, but beneath his embroidered uniform beats the heart of a feral beast. He is the victim of a hereditary lunar curse, a secret that would lead to his execution if ever revealed. When he realizes the young physician has found his secret, he doesn't kill her. Instead, he traps her in a deadly pact: she must find a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) cure for his transformation before the Blood Moon arrives, or they will both be devoured by the palace's shadows. As the investigation deepens, Xiyao uncovers a conspiracy involving forbidden alchemy and ancient folklore that threatens to topple the Ming Dynasty. In a world of incense and irony, Xiyao must navigate a path where the man she is falling for is the very monster she is hunting. Can a silver needle restrain the hunger of a wolf?

In a dystopian city torn between technology and history—where society is regulated and obedience is hummed through the streets—Mara survives by staying unnoticed, haunted by nightmares she doesn’t fully understand. Her life changes when she picks up something she was not supposed to and meets a hooded man. When someone close to her disappears without leaving a trace—records, places, even routines forgetting they ever existed—Mara is left holding onto what the city refuses to remember. What follows is a slow unraveling: distorted realities, fractured memories, broken timelines, and people who should not exist. A psychological mystery where care lingers like a defect, reality bends under pressure, and forgetting is the most dangerous force of all—in a world where feelings are anomalies.

Born frail in body and dismissed by the world as insignificant, Lucien Voss grows up learning a cruel truth early in life: strength invites resistance, but intelligence invites surrender. Mocked, ignored, and underestimated, Lucien survives not by fighting back—but by observing, calculating, and remembering. Behind his quiet demeanor lies a mind capable of dismantling systems, predicting human behavior, and turning chaos into opportunity. While others chase power through force, Lucien builds it through information, manipulation, and flawless strategy. Every insult becomes data. Every loss, a lesson. Every human weakness, a tool. As society spirals through political unrest, corporate greed, and moral decay, Lucien positions himself not as a hero nor a villain—but as an inevitable outcome. Allies rise believing they lead, enemies fall without realizing they were ever opposed, and empires shift hands without a single battle being fought. What begins as a story of survival slowly transforms into one of domination. Lucien does not conquer nations with armies or weapons—he conquers minds. And by the time the world recognizes his influence, it is already living by his design.

You were never meant to choose him,” Ethan said quietly, his voice controlled, steady, as his hand closed around Clara’s wrist—firm enough to stop her, gentle enough to make her listen. Clara’s breath hitched. Not from fear. But from the shock of hearing Ethan finally claim something after years of silence. She had chosen Ryan. The boy she loved openly. The one everyone approved of. The one who stood beside her without hesitation. Ethan stayed in the background. He watched Clara fall in love with another man. Watched her give her smiles, her trust, her future to someone else. He never interfered. Never confessed. Never crossed the line. Loving her quietly was the only restraint he allowed himself. Until restraint became regret. Clara was meant to be his forever. But one choice changed everything. The man she chose began to feel distant. And the man who had loved her in silence for years started to feel far more dangerous than the one she trusted. This is not a story about stolen love. It is a story about patience, restraint, and the devastating cost of choosing the right man over the one who waited.

Dennis died a failure. He woke up as a kobold hatchling; one of the weakest races in a brutal game world where survival favored the strong. Kobolds lived in caves, worshipped dragons, and hoarded treasure they could never protect. Again and again, their clans were wiped out. But Dennis—now Kyle—saw the flaw. Chosen by the Greater Kobold System, he was tasked with an impossible mission: Lead the kobold race to prosperity. Starting from nothing, Kyle would change how kobolds lived, fought, and expanded. No blind faith. No useless hoarding. Only strategy, numbers, and growth. From a single cave to a rising domain, this is the story of how the weakest race began its climb through survival and domination. Extra Tags: #NoHarem #Supernatural #Familyman #RelatableMc

Transmigrating into the world of Battle Through the Heavens, he became Xiao Xuan’s cousin. Faced with Xiao Xuan gathering all of the Xiao Clan's bloodline power into himself in a desperate attempt to break through to the Dou Emperor realm, Xiao Tiance knew that Xiao Xuan would ultimately fall victim to an ambush by the Soul Clan and perish. Thus, Xiao Tiance unsheathed his sword, pointing it at Xiao Xuan: “Brother Xuan, if you truly insist on doing this, our Xiao Clan will inevitably decline because of you!” “You have all basked in glory for a thousand years. It is time to restore our clan’s prestige,” Xiao Xuan said domineeringly, standing with his hands behind his back. “Then kill me first, and use the meager bloodline within me to aid you in your pursuit.” Thank you for the support, friends.
