Belle was an ordinary high school girl until the day she got pulled into another world by a mysterious force.

Thrown into a deadly forest teeming with monstrous beasts and arcane forces, Belle must fight to survive while uncovering the truth behind her transformation.

But survival is only the beginning. As she escapes into a world where kingdoms rise and fall, where adventurers battle against the unknown, and where myths whisper of the Colossal Beasts that could bring about the end of everything. Belle realizes she is more than just a lost girl. She is a force of nature. And her awakening is only the first step toward something far greater. A high-stakes fantasy adventure filled with epic battles, mystery, cinematic and the clash of ancient powers. Join Belle as she carves her legend in a world that fears the unknown.

Esra Veyne. Most only know of her as the 'White Ghost', a Duke's Daughter who never even leaves her room. A girl fated to die in obscurity, if only someone didn't reincarnate into her body. The 'new' Esra has no interest in being a ghost. She wants to enjoy her new life. There's just one problem: Everywhere she looks, she finds something that needs fixing, and she can't just let someone else do it. Even if it means breaking fingers to get answers. Even if it means using a traumatized girl as an assassin. Even if it means never getting to enjoy being a Duke's daughter in the first place. Hopefully, she doesn't have to solve every problem with violence. This Esra Veyne was never very good at staying in her room. What to expect: 1: A clever protagonist with blind spots/gets smarter over time. 2: A found family that slowly grows over time. 3: Decently fast power progression. 4: Arcs that focus on action and arcs that focus on more traditional 'otome' tropes. 5: A timeskip, likely after Volume 2/3. 6: Yuri. (After the timeskip). There will be a new chapter every day. This story is much further along on RoyalRoad/Scribblehub. I will be posting multiple chapters a day until this catches up to those platforms. Yes, the cover is AI. It's something I'm looking to change as I head into Volume 2/3.

Now, with a new goal, a new god, and unexpected friends, Alric begins to find his strength and build the life he'd always wanted. Progression fantasy. Cultivation / litrpg. Weak to strong.

Title 2: I Wanted the Wolf King, but I Got the Warmaster Before the Fall. Transmigrating into the most despair-inducing Underhive wastes of the 41st Millennium, Kaelen, a mere mortal, thought his days were numbered. When his cheat system finally activated, he prayed for one thing: Just give me Leman Russ. I need the Wolf King to survive! [Ding! System error. Target locked: Davin. Salvaging soul...] Instead of the loyalist Wolf, a dying giant crashed before him, his soul teetering on the edge of Chaos corruption. It was the Warmaster himself. Horus Lupercal. Staring at the tragic, uncorrupted demigod covered in scars, Kaelen went completely silent. "Horus," Kaelen sighed, pushing up his goggles. "Your father is a corpse on a golden toilet, your brothers have all gone insane, and the Imperium is a rotten hell-hole." Horus: "...?" No divine bloodlines. No genetic enhancements. Just a mortal commander armed with future knowledge, a glitchy system, and the most powerful Primarch in history serving as his loyal sword. If the galaxy is broken, they will carve a bloody path from the Underhive to Holy Terra to fix it. 🩸 [The Ultimate Fix-It]: Erasing the tragedy of the Heresy. Horus never falls, and the traitors will bleed. 🧠 [Mortal Domination]: Watch arrogant Space Marines and Chaos Daemons experience absolute cognitive shock when outsmarted by Kaelen's ruthless modern strategies. ⚔️ [Purging the Dogma]: Slashing heretics, kicking the Golden Throne, and reviving the Emperor's true dream. 👑 [Building a New Order]: From a desperate survivor to the shadow ruler of the Indomitus Crusade.

THE INFINITY IDENTITY Blue Star. A world nearly identical to Earth. In the year 2096, nineteen-year-old university student Kang Min-Jae accidentally activates an ancient system hidden within a forgotten archive. The system calls itself the Infinity Identity. Unlike ordinary systems that grant powers or classes, the Infinity Identity grants entire identities. Every fifteen days, a new identity is generated. Doctor. Lawyer. Detective. CEO. Scientist. Politician. And countless others. Each identity becomes a permanent part of Min-Jae's life. None can be removed. None can be abandoned. None can be forgotten. Before an identity can be safely unlocked, Min-Jae must complete a system task. Success grants the identity in its perfect state. Failure still grants the identity-but with consequences attached. Debts. Scandals. Enemies. Responsibilities. Problems that may take years to resolve. As his collection of identities grows, Min-Jae discovers that countless historical anomalies across Blue Star are connected to a single mysterious name: Authorr01. Ancient facilities. Forgotten records. Impossible technologies. Religions built upon a legend. Governments searching for answers. And traces of a figure known only as User #1. The deeper Min-Jae digs, the more he realizes that the Infinity Identity is far older, far larger, and far more dangerous than anyone imagined. Because inheriting the system was never a reward. It was an inheritance. A burden left behind by a mystery that has shaped the course of history itself. One Life. Infinite Identities. And a mystery older than civilization.

Gloria Frost has spent nine years at the bottom. As an F‑Rank awakener overshadowed by her A‑Rank brother, she learned early that the world had no place for someone like her. Tired of the comparisons, she abandoned her village and survived through thievery, stealth, and staying invisible. On her way to the city in search of simple work, a dungeon anomaly opens beneath her feet and drags her underground. With no party, no supplies, and a skill barely worth mentioning, Gloria expects to die in the dark. She fights through the dungeon using wit and stubbornness, until the boss room ends her luck. An arrogant S‑Rank awakener appears, saves her life, and leaves the loot behind. Among the spoils is a strange orb Gloria assumes is an HP‑restore item... and uses without hesitation. What follows marks the beginning of her rise. As Gloria climbs from the bottom, she'll face dungeons, dangerous awakeners, ordinary humans with extraordinary grudges, and a threat powerful enough to destroy everything-including the brother who once overshadowed her. And somewhere out there, the S‑Rank who dismissed her is about to realize the "trash" he threw away wasn't trash at all.

Thirty-five years old. Unmarried. Living inside an endless from-to - the same commute, the same desk, the same walls. A man named Aizawa. An illness with no name eating away at him. A mysterious girl appearing in his dreams every night. And one day, without warning - the end. But it wasn't really the end. His soul was torn apart. When he opened his eyes, he was somewhere else entirely - in the body of a seven-year-old child, in a world he didn't recognise. A world of politics, conspiracy, and ancient myth. The man who once had nothing slowly discovers, for the first time, something worth protecting. No cheat skills. No invincibility. Only one thing remains - an unbreakable soul.

In a world divided by fire and philosophy, two civilisations have mastered the art of cooking - but never spoken the same language. In the East, Food Adepts cultivate inner energy through knife, flame, and breath. A perfectly sliced cut can heal a wound. A broth simmered for three days can break a man's curse. In the West, Culinamancers weave culinary magic through ritual, emotion, and forbidden ingredients. One wrong pinch of spice can collapse an empire. They have coexisted in silence. Until a young chef from the Eastern borderlands stumbles into a Western culinary tournament - and wins using techniques nobody in the West has ever seen. Now both worlds want him. Some to learn from him. Some to destroy him. Every dish is a battle. Every flame tells a story. Every bite changes the world. - Ocean Fung

Emmett was used to being caught between college and his engineering internship, but when he gets caught between a powerful hero and an even stronger villain, he becomes collateral damage.
