What happens when an average guy from our world becomes an almighty Demon Lord? Well, craziness follows! Join the journey of the Demon Lord Alan as he starts ridiculous just to become even more. He is a Demon Lord. He is a God. He is just a thrill-seeking human.

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.

Title: Frostbound Flame: Legacy of the Forbidden Clans Genre:Martial Arts | Magic | Romance | Historical Fantasy | Adventure Synopsis: In a land where ancient clans wield elemental powers and honor their bloodlines above all, being different is a curse. Kaien Ryugami, the son of a vanished dragon warrior and a human woman, has spent his life ridiculed and shunned. Branded a disgrace for his mixed blood, he trains in secret, determined to prove that even a half-blood can rise beyond tradition and shame. But when he crosses paths with Lady Yuki Himetsuru, a powerful and cold-hearted ice mage from one of the most prestigious clans in the realm, his world begins to shift. Yuki is everything Kaien is not—admired, noble-born, and emotionally distant. But beneath her frozen demeanor lies a girl burdened by duty, hiding scars far deeper than the snow she commands. Thrown together by fate, their unlikely bond sets off a chain of events that will unearth buried secrets, awaken legendary creatures, and challenge the ancient laws that govern the elemental world. As the entrance trials to the Grand Academy of Martial Arts approach, Kaien must master the power within—the dragon’s fire in his blood—while Yuki must confront the warmth threatening to thaw her heart. Will a boy born of flame and a girl born of frost rewrite the destiny carved by their ancestors? Or will the weight of history tear them—and the realm—apart? A tale of forbidden bloodlines, mystical duels, growing romance, and the courage to break fate. Perfect for fans of epic cultivation, magical academies, icy heroines, and dragon legends.

This is the introduction to my trilogy: The Eight Descendants, The Horizon Star, and The Young Martial Heroes. It contains the character description and episode summary. Contains spoilers, reader discretion is advised.

The world is normally filled with monster tamers or plainfolk. The difference between them is mana. The higher the mana reserves, the higher the potential to form a contract with even magical beasts. Of course, they can only hold one contract for one beast, regardless of their mana. The monster tamers are basically invincible because, depending on their mana reserves, they can merely redirect the damage done to their bodies to their familiars. Even death can be automatically transferred to their monster companion. In such a world, there are those who were born with mana but cannot form any contract with the monster. Unlike tamers, they don't have any support from any monster or have another life, but they have the ability to manipulate their mana to bring it out and form their own techniques. These people are called Hunters. The tamers and the hunters were always at odds with each other. Lin Fang is a pet shop owner who sells food for the monsters. He is a plainfolk who inherited the store after the death of his father. His mother remarried someone else and shifted to her new husband’s home after giving the house to Lin Fang. Lin Fang had an elder sister, a monster hunter who is one of the strongest individuals in Huaxi City, but left abroad to accept an offer from a company a decade ago. Since then, she has never returned and rarely speaks to him, even on the phone. After his graduation from high school, Lin Fang received a system as part of the inheritance. Using the system, he hoped to revive the store his family ran for years. Taking loans from putting the house on mortgage, alongside the pet food, Lin Fang started selling the monster eggs given for free by the system, hired a monster trainer to train the monsters, etc… After 7 years, he finally sells the 1000 eggs initially given by the system and unlocks the summoner system, becoming a summoner and a monster egg seller. On weekdays, he sells monster eggs to earn money, and on weekends, he becomes a summoner who controls an army of monsters to take down dungeons, fight a beast horde, explore the hidden worlds, and do much more. This is the story of Lin Fang, the only summoner in a world filled with monster tamers and Hunters.

On the scorched and rust-covered planet of Rust-12, seventeen-year-old Kaiell toils in the brutal mines of Targon-Delta, where the Kargal Empire drills endlessly for Quorite, the rare mineral that fuels its power. Life on Rust-12 is harsh, and hope is rarer than water. When a catastrophic mine collapse takes the life of his only family—his uncle Samuel—Kaiell’s world shatters. But from the ashes of grief rises a burning dream: to escape Rust-12 and join the Krugers, the elite intergalactic army sworn to defend humanity from the Voidlings—nightmarish creatures that erupt from cosmic rifts and devour entire worlds. Together with his loyal and reckless best friend Joran, Kaiell enlists in the Kruger Exams, a grueling trial that weeds out the weak and tests the soul. For Kaiell, passing the exam isn't just a chance to fight—it’s a shot at freedom, purpose, and vengeance against the monsters that tore his life apart. But beyond Rust-12, war is never simple, and the rifts are spreading. As Kaiell steps into the wider galaxy, he will learn that some voids are deeper than space—and harder to survive.

For Kled, there was no one living on Earth except him and the Guardians. That was all he had ever known. So what changed next? This knowledge, true for the world, was in the hands of Sylvana, who opened the door to exploring other worlds. Kled, who awakened at the age of five after killing his first monster in an unprecedented manner, was not only trained by the ancient guardians to ensure his survival. His mission was related to the survival of the entire living world. Kled, looking at the dazzling woman with his small body, fidgeted his knees, not remembering how long he'd been sitting there. He thought about the last thing he remembered. It felt like something had happened a long time ago. He had fainted somewhere, but he couldn't recall where and how. Wasn't he always here? For a five-year-old child, the thoughts running through his mind were difficult questions. "By the way... Congratulations on your awakening, my child..." As the woman took another sip of her tea, she continued to smile at little Kled. The golden bracelets on her arms jingled. "Is it like waking up from sleep? I always wake up." Little Kled smiled, thinking he understood correctly, and felt proud for some reason. Yet, he was confused. "Don't you always wake up too?" His eyebrows rose in innocent curiosity as he asked. The woman put her cup on the table, squinting one eye as if pondering, and placed her finger on her lip. "I suppose... I have completed all my awakenings!" When she opened her eyes again, her smile widened, and she leaned toward Kled. "This is a bit different from your normal awakenings. More like... being reborn into the same body."

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!"

A tale of a firefighter who was reborn in the United States to become a detective, where a revolver truly symbolizes romance. A slow-burning American police story, it is bound to be a complete narrative.

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...

Ali never meant to die. All he did was chase down a man trying to kidnap a child. One moment he was in Riyadh, the next, a gunshot. Darkness. He wakes up in chains, his throat dry, blood staining his chest, and a name that isn’t his. Zad ibn Salem. A slave. A heretic. Seventh in line for execution by beheading. In his palm, a bloodstained card, black, jagged, and marked with something unholy. The Card of Shaytan. It whispers one truth. "Only in death shall you find the answer." Thus begins a cursed journey through Agrabiyya, a kingdom of golden deserts and cruel kings, forgotten gods and forbidden magic, where fate isn't granted, but stolen. Where ancient cults move in the shadows, angels weep in silence, and wars are waged. What crime did Zad commit? Why was Ali chosen? And what lies beyond the door that only death can open? The answers wait in dust, in blood, and in the quiet laughter of something watching from the dark. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that this is a mystery/fantasy story. Every line is accounted for to enhance your experience. During certain arcs, you may be able to solve mysteries before they are officially revealed, so pay close attention. I can’t say much more. Just remember, always distrust people. Always think one step ahead. Always balance your logic with your emotions. A balance must exist, for in time, you shall find an answer. Another notice: Once the first arc is complete, which is currently ongoing, I’ll be commissioning character art, a new poster, and a system explainer when the time comes. I have a lot of plans. Chapters will release either daily or every two days, and sometimes multiple chapters in one day.

A young man awakens in an unfamiliar room. He neither knows where nor who he is. A mysterious diary, emitting a soft purple glow, resides in the space of his mind. Upon it is the name Ryu Seiya. After realizing his name, the diary activates the System Integration, and stories of all kinds enter his mind space, filling it like stars and galaxies. The "Plot"-Diary System tasks him with altering the original progression of the stories. This allows Ryu Seiya to steal the "Fate" that is bestowed upon the Characters from the "Will of the World". This stolen "Fate" is used by the System to grant its Host random abilities in correlation to the characters whose plot has been altered. To facilitate a subtle method of altering "Fate", the System also grants Copies of the Diary that its Host writes to female characters in the world he enters. Through revealing secrets and future events to these characters, their actions and mindset can be influenced. To further incentivize the so-called Copy Holders to assist the "Plot"-Diary System Host, they receive the same regular rewards as Ryu Seiya. Join Ryu as he tries to navigate sometimes perilous and sometimes perplexing stories, beginning with "Monster" by Naoki Urasawa, where he tries his best to stop Johan Liebert and other serial killers from harming the innocent. Experience the romance between a young man and the female characters in various stories that you either love or hate. How will he handle having loved ones in multiple different worlds? This novel will be slow-paced, and the action will take a backseat compared to his planning and interacting with the Copy Holders. Although the diary in their minds helps forge an emotional bond with Ryu Seiya, the romance will be pretty slow unless the female character is known for forming relationships quickly. For example, Elsa in "Monster". The chapter length averages around 3.000 words, and due to the way Ryu Seiya interacts with the story worlds, there will be longer pauses for research between arcs. So don't expect extremely fast updates. I'll try my best to forge a comprehensive narrative with distinctive arcs around the original works, while regularly revisiting the already completed ones and how the members of the Harem use their System-given powers to alter their original world after Ryu is forced to leave for the next story. There will be lemons, but not frequently. Primarily focusing on the first time Ryu spends with each particular woman. Please note that Ryu loves his wives deeply, and there will be no hierarchy in the Harem, as well as no forced sexual interactions on the side of the main character. Except for some of his wives who like various styles of play, Ryu will never degrade or talk down to his wives. They are an integral part of this work due to how the "Plot"-Diary System works. So if you want to see a main character who practically enslaves his Harem, this is not the story for you. Often, Ryu Seiya will also diminish the original protagonists and other male characters in the stories he enters. He has to steal their "Fate" after all, which entails their opportunities, such as finding resources, teachers, and romantic partners. Due to this, he often disparagingly portrays other male characters in his Diary to dissuade the Copy Holders from supporting them as much as possible. This will lead to many pairings of the original works not forming or even breaking up. The System is non-interactive and has no true intelligence. Except for the introduction and distribution of rewards, its only function is to facilitate the Copy Holders and display of a status page. There will be no System-assigned missions, and the Host has complete freedom in how to tackle each story. Due to the limited word count in the description, additional information can be found in the Author review.

"Why is it that everyone has hated you since you were little?" "Why do you always manage to explode with power when you’re in dire straits?" "Why, despite having no weak chakra control, can’t you even walk on water?" Kurama (Nine-Tails) looked up and laughed heartily: "There’s only one answer—" "You are! The one who nearly destroyed Konoha and killed the Fourth Hokage twelve years ago! The Jinchuriki of the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails Kurama!
