Talent over corruption

In a world where survival is dictated by The Veil, an ancient force that selects unwilling souls for its brutal trials, death is often a mercy. Those who fail are erased. Those who endure return changed—feared, hunted, and burdened with power. Hope was never meant to be among them. A scavenger scraping by in the lawless outskirts, he lived by one rule: stay unnoticed, stay alive. He had no grand ambitions, no thirst for strength—only the will to see another day. But when The Veil marks him, he is cast into The Ashlands, a realm where nightmares take form, and survival means facing horrors beyond comprehension. Armed with nothing but his cunning, Hope fights to stay alive. He has no allies, no faith in heroics—only desperation. But when he survives his first trial, he is granted something far more dangerous than mere strength—the power of the God of Darkness. A force that does not only obey him, but watches, whispers, and waits.

Rhian Locke only wanted strength. To face the monster that slaughtered his parents while he watched, helpless. "I never asked to be your savior. So why should I care?" All he hoped for was to reach a decent rank, hunt that beast down, maybe become a monster hunter, and retire in peace. "I’m not a slave to the gods. I don’t exist to do their bidding." But the world had made its decision long before he was born. "Patterns are meant to be broken." --- --- “Boy, I’ve bathed in the blood of your kind. I’ve crushed those stronger than you.” Lightning cracked across the sky. A hammer flew to the hand of a god. “I won’t let a deceiver’s spawn and a whore’s bastard son, stand before me and declare my end.” Rhian stepped forward, blood trailing from his mouth, eyes locked. “I’m not here to declare your end,” he said coldly. “I’m here to fulfill it.” ....

The world didn't end with a bang. No fire. No warning. Just silence. Jason Wright and his family now live buried beneath the surface, sealed in a high-tech bunker designed for survival—not comfort. With no messages from the outside and no clear explanation for the collapse, days blur into one another. Their only certainty is isolation. But what really happened out there? Was it a disaster... or something intentional? Is there still life beyond the bunker walls? Are their friends, lovers, extended family still alive—or long gone? How long can a family endure in such close confinement before old roles shift and new attractions emerge? Can Jason carry the weight of responsibility when the world above offers no answers—and the world below begins to fracture? And if he ever gets out of the bunker... what will Jason find waiting for him outside? — Author Notes — This is my first novel. It’s a character-driven, slow-burn psychological drama set in a post-apocalyptic bunker, exploring the effects of prolonged isolation, moral collapse, and shifting family dynamics. The story includes mature themes and emotional complexity. >Content Warnings / Themes: #Incest (gradual tension, emotional and/or physical) #Moral ambiguity #Post-apocalyptic survival #Isolation & mental strain #Power dynamics within a confined space #Yuri >Why I’m Writing This: I'm writing this story to push my own boundaries as a author and to explore difficult questions about ethics, survival, and human psychology when stripped of societal norms. This project is a learning process for me. I'm not aiming for perfection—I’m aiming to grow. So if you read this and feel something—anything—I’d truly appreciate hearing your thoughts. Constructive criticism is more than welcome, whether it’s about pacing, dialogue, characters, or anything else. Please let me know what worked for you and what didn’t. Thanks for giving it a chance.

If you reincarnate in Danmachi, the only city with a dungeon, what would you do? Of course, conquer the dungeon without a second thought, and if a few girls fell for you along the way, all the more better! Now let us see the life of Light, one such guy reincarnated in Danmachi as a random mob character, will he conquer the dungeon or remain a random mob. ------------------------------- Hello Everyone! The author LordIsland here! I am still a beginner writer, so please go easy on me and if there are any changes from the main work, please think of those as unique to this fanfic. -------------------------------- The work of Danmachi does not belong to me, I am just writing a fan-fic based on it.

Hunter Cha Eui-jae, who was dispatched to seal a rift that appeared over the West Sea, was flung out as soon as he closed the rift. When he came to his senses, he was lying in a garbage dump. Starving, he was drawn like a zombie is to blood to a hangover soup restaurant, where he realized that he had fallen into South Korea, eight years in the future. In this era, disaster alerts notify people of rift openings in advance, ASMR videos of slimes gathered from dungeons were trending, and idle hunters livestream unboxings of A-rank longswords. Unlike the past, where people trembled in fear of an impending apocalypse, the future was surprisingly peaceful, leaving Cha Eui-jae feeling empty. Since things had turned out this way, why not start a second chapter of life as a part-timer at the hangover soup restaurant, rather than being a hunter? “That’s strange.” “…” “Have we met somewhere before?” Cha Eui-jae’s plan to quietly spend his remaining days as the only part-time worker at the decades-old hangover soup restaurant goes awry when he encounters a mysterious, gas-masked individual… DISCLAIMER: The story credit goes to og translator and author

what happens when a soul reincarnates into the body of a drug addict who overdosed? and what if that soul is actually a champion of a random omnipotent being (aka rob)? and what happens when this champion doesn't use magic the usual way, but instead channels mana to punch and slash things? well, follow ash as he explores a complex world set strictly in the marvel cinematic universe, mainly focusing on the tv shows. from iron fist and the defenders to movies like doctor strange and captain america: civil war, and much more. of course, things aren’t as simple or normal as they seem in the mcu. strange phenomena start to occur, opening cracks between worlds, allowing monsters from the monster hunter universe to break through. join ash as he climbs the ladder of power and draws the attention of powerful organizations in this world. warning: this fanfic will mostly focus on the tv shows and select movie events. ash’s influence on the sacred timeline will start small, but as he grows and begins to shape the world around him (sooner than he expects), the timeline will change. this shift will attract beings from both inside and outside the mcu. only monsters from the monster hunter universe will come through the rift—no npcs. also, these monsters are made of mana, not flesh, so unfortunately, no cool monster weapons, at least most of the time. as for updates, they will be daily. as for the female, i still havent decided yet, but no Wanda(for obvious reason) and no scarlet witch.

To have the ability to see into people's past has no real appeal for the teenager this story is about, letting him only use it as amusement and to show off when he was drunk. Never look into someone's past beyond a superficial level. Never try to find out more than you should. NEVER. EVER. LOOK. INTO. THE. FUTURE. But everything changed the moment he was forced to look into the future, was forced to investigate the circumstances of a murder, and was forced to make the acquaintance of the victim's twin brother('s fists). The more time passed, the more it appeared that the primary reason for this murder wasn't a local, but a global one. This single, marred corpse was the beginning of a threat that would shake the world. (MC loses a screw when he enters the prison.)
