Elion Hayes Book One: The Beast Rings

Elion Hayes Book One: The Beast Rings

CNBaihaqi
Elion Hayes never planned on being hunted. He was just a university student scraping by, no real direction, no grand purpose—until a night out turned into a waking nightmare. Because apparently, were-beasts or beast-men are real, they’re everywhere, and they don’t appreciate humans getting in their way. Now, Elion is on the run with a 'cowboy' from another world (yes, really), a best friend who’s way too excited about all of this, and a growing list of reasons to regret every life choice that led him here. At the center of it all? The Beast Rings—ancient artifacts infused with the power of monsters. Some grant strength beyond human limits. Others corrupt, turning their wielders into nightmares. And the Lord, the shadowy figure pulling the strings, plans to unleash thousands of them across the world. Elion isn’t a warrior. He doesn’t have some legendary bloodline or divine blessing. He’s just learned about Mana Gates and barely unlocked the first three of the 118 Mana Gates that allow someone to tap into their true power and to control the Beast Rings. Before he could gain any real progress, the Lord’s most elite enforcers—the Zodiacs—and all kinds of beast-men are already closing in. The mission? Retrieve the corrupted Beast Rings before they fall into the wrong hands. Defy the Lord’s plan before the world is overrun. Survive long enough to figure out why, out of everyone, he’s been thrown into the middle of this. He and Jordan may not have been prepared for any of this, but their new ally, Ronan, isn’t giving them a choice. If they don’t fight back? The world as they know it is done. What to Expect: [+] Weak-to-Strong Protagonist – Elion starts at zero, but survival means learning fast. [+] Shapeshifters & Monster Battles – Think were-beasts, but worse. [+] Clear Progression – Unlockable powers, evolving abilities, and high stakes. [+] A Race Against Time – The Beast Rings are spreading, and humanity is not ready. [+] Ancient Powers & Forbidden Arts – 118 Mana Gates to unlock, each one unlocking something deeper. [+] Humor Meets High-Octane Action – Snark, survival, and a world that doesn’t play fair. [+] Massive World-Building & Hidden Secrets – The Beast Rings didn’t start in this world… and neither did the war. The first mistake? Getting involved. The second? Thinking he has a choice.

The Walking Dead:Ashes Of Survival

It started with my brother — the first of us to fall. Without warning, an unknown virus crept into our lives. My elder brother was bitten — none of us even noticed at first. That night, while our family kept vigil at the hospital, over a hundred patients died suddenly. What’s more terrifying was what came after death: they stood up again. Not as the people we loved, but as bloodthirsty, mindless creatures. We were no longer their family. We were their food. Two months have passed since we hid ourselves in the ruined back kitchen of the hospital's canteen. Outside, the world we knew has been overturned, swallowed whole by the dead who rose. The same nightmare is happening across the world — no land is spared. There is no more system. No more police. No more government. Only the endless groans of the dead, and the desperate cries of the living. I am He Mo, just an ordinary junior school girl once, but those days are nothing more than fading dreams. Now, I carry the weight of survival — protecting my fragile younger brother, my sickly mother, and my aging grandmother. I have no superpowers, no miracle cures. Only grit, determination, and a stubborn will to live. More and more survivors joined us — not the strong warriors of old legends, not the powerful shinobi or mighty pirates who once roamed the seas. We are the forgotten, the weak, the unseen. And yet, united by desperation, we fight on, clinging to life in a dead world. Our purpose is simple — achingly simple: To live. Just to live. In this world now, human immunity is a myth. Chakra can't save you. Haki can't protect you. Bloodlines and ancient powers mean nothing when one bite can end everything. The rules are brutal: Never get bitten. Never let your guard down. Never lose hope. You, me, all of us... At this last, crumbling moment of humanity, there are no nations. No borders. No heroes. Only the forsaken, struggling to survive the endless night. GENRES: Adventurers, Apocalypse, Betrayal, Cannibalism, Female Protagonist, Near-Death Experience, Survival, Zombies

God of Death: Rise of the NPC Overlord

Warning: This novel contains explicit adult content, violence, and a ruthless anti-hero MC. Read at your own risk. I was the strongest player in the world—until they betrayed me. When I woke up, I wasn’t a player anymore. I was just an NPC. A nameless mob, doomed to be farmed for EXP and discarded like trash. But then, I heard it: (You have been killed.) (Unique Skill Activated: Infinite Resurrection.) (Each death makes you stronger.) Every time a player slaughters me, I steal their stats, their skills, and their power. I evolve beyond the system’s control, beyond the limits of this world. They thought I was nothing. They thought they could use me, farm me, erase me. Now, I am the final boss—and I will make them suffer. On the battlefield, and in my bed. They will submit. One way or another.

Briar had always harbored a crush in her heart. However, with her status as the official nanny of the Meyer family, she knew her chances were close to zero.

However, when the secrets of her past, which she wished to have forgotten and had locked in Pandora’s Box over twelve years ago, threaten to come out.

To stop her adversaries from destroying everything that she had dreamt of since she was a child, Briar would be forced to make choices. Choices that would change her life forever. Even if it means shedding all pretenses and revealing her true self.

Magicapita

What if money was power? What if capital was magical? What if income was cultivation? What if a young man decided to destroy this unjust world of inequality and build a better one? That was exactly what Cæ (Cash) sought to do amid grief, anger, and hatred when he lost everything in an accident. Having come from nothing in the slums, his only goal had been to live a good life. By the age of twenty-two, he had finally managed to pull himself out of poverty with a decent job and romance. And then he lost everything he had ever built in an accident that left him in a coma for half a year. The world deprived him of the only person he had truly come to love. The predatory healthcare system burdened him with debt. The corrupt justice system deprived him of justice. The financial system robbed him of everything he owned. For the second time in his life, Cæ had been left with nothing. Well, almost nothing. The accident and the ensuing coma had altered his brain and mind, giving him an extraordinary talent for cultivating and mastering magic. He had been blessed with Acquired Savant Syndrome, a medical condition so rare that there were very few instances of it ever having occurred in history. It gave him endless potential and remarkable power. It gave him the power to destroy the world that he hated from the bottom of his heart. It gave him the power to destroy it and build a better one. And that was exactly what Cæ set out to do.
