Ascension of the Shadow Demon: From Outcast to Hero

''Shadow of the Silent Pact'' In a world where ancient forces slumber beneath the surface of reality, a silent pact forged in shadows threatens to awaken. When Sylas, a quiet but determined warrior marked by a forgotten prophecy, and Alira, a sharp-witted swordswoman with a haunted past, uncover the hidden truth behind a crumbling realm, they’re thrust into a conflict that transcends mortal wars. The Heart of the world—a source of corrupted magic—has been sealed, but its echoes linger. Just as peace begins to return, a new darkness emerges: the Keepers of the Void, beings of immense power and purpose, who claim dominion over fate itself. Bound by fragile alliances, challenged by betrayals, and guided by whispered secrets, Sylas and Alira must walk a fine line between destiny and defiance. Each choice draws them deeper into the web of the Silent Pact—an oath older than the world, whose unraveling could reshape creation or end it entirely. As storms gather and ancient powers awaken, will Sylas and Alira remain pawns in a cosmic game, or will they rise as the heralds of a new age?

Moments after being beaten and forcibly sacrificed on the altar of a mysterious tomb, Rama discovers an unfamiliar power awakening within him. This power grants him the ability to harness and use the skills of Supernaturals - the monstrous beings that threaten human existence within the city walls by absorbing their Soul. Making him able to use their ability as his own. Armed with this newfound power known as [Soul Fusion], Rama seeks vengeance against those who callously discarded him like garbage. However, there's a deeper secret to this power. Soul Fusion turns out to be a power harbored within his very soul - an ancient power that played a significant role in The Great Supernatural War. A parting gift from both of his parents. The once underestimated and scorned E Rank Hunter now possesses something that could make him the strongest. How will Rama's journey unfold? What is the true mystery behind Soul Fusion? And how will he endure when he realizes that his enemies aren't limited to the Supernatural realm, but also in human society? Another threat soon will unfold as well. The race of Vampires, Werewolf, Even Angels and Demons. Are the Supernatural beings that will be involved in Rama's journey? ~~~

After 10,000 years of intense, solitary cultivation inside the Immortal Palace, Ancestor Li Shen finally steps outside —only to realize the world has changed, his sect is broke, and the juniors are clueless. Naturally, he does what any enlightened master would do: He starts throwing spirit stones at the problem. Need cultivation pills? Buy them in bulk. Sect disciples weak? Dump divine weapons on them like party favors. Enemy sects causing trouble? Bribe their ancestors into early retirement. Soon, Li Shen isn’t just revered as the most powerful being alive —he’s the richest, loudest, and most dramatically dressed cultivator to ever walk the continent. With a golden flying palace shaped like a reclining dragon and a pet phoenix that doubles as a chef, Li Shen’s new path to immortality is paved with cash, chaos, and really questionable decision-making. Will he reach true enlightenment? Will the Heavens finally notice him and file a noise complaint? Find out in this completely serious tale of wealth, wisdom, and way too many spirit stones.

*****WPC OCT 2024 Entry***** Glossary and Illustrations: https://discord.gg/PGbfE7TVcD Scheduling Updates: From 09:00 UTC, 2 Chapters Daily. When Carl Suis, a fresh zoology graduate, lands an internship with MECCP (Mythical and Endangered Creatures Care and Protection), he expects to work with exotic animals—not be magically whisked into Mythica, a realm brimming with dragons, mermaids, and other magical creatures. What starts as a dream job quickly spirals into chaos. Feeding creatures is the least of Carl’s worries as he tackles ecosystem meltdowns, interspecies feuds, and cultural clashes straight out of a fantasy fever dream. Forget the myths—these creatures are nothing like the books said. With Mythica’s fragile world teetering on collapse and MECCP’s future at stake, Carl must rely on his zoological skills, quick thinking, and unexpected allies to save the day. But in this unpredictable land, survival means embracing the wild—and the wildly hilarious—at every turn. Can Carl protect this magical world, or will his internship be his last adventure?

After surviving Earth explosive demise via Infinity Stones mishap, Bjorn—now Raiden (or the nameless Dragonborn)—awakens in a tavern to a lizard-faced Argonian bartender demanding payment. His memories of gaming glory (Arch-Mage! Thieves Guild Master! Professional Cheese Wheel Collector!) clash with harsh reality: this Skyrim is no modded playground, but a lethal world where his “legendary” status means nothing to locals. Worse, he’s roped into fighting Alduin the World-Eater… with the magical prowess of a wet noodle. Armed with muscle memory (and a backpack of hoarded loot), Raiden scrambles to master his Dragon Shouts while ditching “boring” spellbooks. Ten days of montage-style training later, he dons enchanted bling, muttering, “Survive first, hero later—that’s the gamer way.” But the fight gone wrong and he suddenly find himself in another world ...... "What is really happening?"

Every step deeper into the unknown threatens not just their mission, but humanity’s survival. One signal changed everything. Some echoes should remain lost. Will they survive what awaits beyond Vega... or become its next lost echo?

Kaoru Mitoma is a transmigrator, and there’s a wish machine attached to him. As long as he fulfills any of the wishes, he’ll gain a random reward. The more wishes he grants, the more rewards he gets! However, these wishes seem kind of strange? —— “I really wish I could be Miss Sakayanagi dog!” “Argghhh I want to bully Karuizawa Kei in front of everyone so bad!” “I want to Secretly threaten Airi Sakura. She wouldn’t want everyone to find out She's an online idol, right?” “I want to see Kushida-chan, her face full of disgust, wearing a maid outfit and serving like she’s looking at trash…” "I want Ichinose to step on me!" ..............
