Echoes of the fallen

Echoes of the fallen

Hinshitsu
In a ruined world torn apart by a deadly curse, Kael, a young man with nothing but his instincts and a shattered past, is forced to confront the brutal trials of the Tower of Ascension. The Tower, an ancient structure that rises from the desolate land, promises unimaginable power to those who can survive its deadly floors, but the cost is steep, and few ever make it to the top without losing themselves in the process. Kael’s journey begins when a mysterious, grotesque creature attacks him, forcing him into the Tower’s first trial. Armed with nothing but his will to survive and a jagged shard from the remains of his enemy, Kael discovers that the more he kills, the more power he absorbs, in the form of shards that grant him new abilities. But with each shard he absorbs, the price becomes higher. The powers are addictive, and the darkness they carry threatens to consume him. As Kael ascends, he encounters the Forgotten, twisted, monstrous beings who once sought to climb the Tower, only to be twisted and destroyed in its depths. With each floor, Kael faces more deadly enemies, puzzles, and challenges, but the greatest threat is the one within him: the whispers of the shards, urging him toward something darker, something that might turn him into a monster. But the Tower itself is more than just a labyrinth of dangers. The higher Kael climbs, the more he begins to uncover its true nature, a twisted creation designed to test the limits of those who dare to seek its power. The further he ascends, the more he realizes that the real battle isn’t against the monsters of the Tower, but against his own growing hunger for power. Kael must navigate not only the brutal trials of the Tower but also the dangerous allure of the power that promises to make him unstoppable. Each step forward brings him closer to the top but also closer to the point where he will no longer be human. To survive, Kael will have to make the ultimate choice: will he ascend to the peak, or will the Tower’s darkness claim him before he ever reaches it?

Series of broken hearts

Endels went through 27 scenarios, and in each of them, his life ended in an unpleasant way. Death from a prince's sword, driven by jealousy, death from a curse that a mage cast on him, death from broken ribs when a guardsman captain decided he was behind the revolutionary movement. Death, death, death. The only respite was his younger sister, but unfortunately, most of the bad endings were associated with her. Not with her, but with the harem of madmen who followed her skirt like chickens. In his last attempt, Endels is given a chance to spend the bonuses he has earned from past successes, and he prioritizes only one person — himself. If he doesn't survive this time, there won't be another chance. It's time to stop being a compliant actor's dog. One day he will wake up again in his warm apartment on the 6th floor of Yongsan — and it doesn't matter what price he has to pay for it.

Douluo Dali: Unrivalled Tang Sect: With Sharingan

What? Tang San’s entire family were evil soul masters? The Spirit Hall was destroyed ten thousand years ago just so Tang San could turn the Douluo Continent into his personal backyard? Impossible—absolutely impossible! If Tang San’s father wasn’t an evil soul master, then how did he manage to defeat three Super Douluos by himself ten thousand years ago? If Tang San and his allies weren’t evil soul masters, how did they cultivate at a rate that far exceeded ordinary people? Their absurd soul ring ratios and secret methods of soul ring enhancement—aren’t those techniques exclusive to the Holy Spirit Church? Back then, the Spirit Hall reached into every corner of the continent to awaken spirits. They clearly knew who was an evil soul master and could eliminate them on the spot. Yet now, evil soul masters lurk everywhere. How do you explain that? And what about the factions that once supported Tang San? The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, once a peak force, has fallen to second-rate. The Poison Douluo’s clan? Its entire inheritance has vanished. Even the Holy Soul Village—where the Sea God Tang San first awakened his martial spirit—has become nothing but a forgotten relic. Shouldn’t it have become a sacred site? Why did it fade into obscurity? Not to mention the Holy Angel lineage—there hasn’t been a single Titled Douluo from that bloodline in tens of thousands of years. Why? And then there’s Tang San’s so-called “Ten Core Theories of Martial Spirits.” Aside from sounding impressive, are any of them actually true? Weapon-type spirits supposedly couldn’t absorb beast spirit rings—but before those theories, did the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect get their rings by dismantling towers? Did the Clear Sky Sect gather rings by smashing hammers? No… Something’s deeply wrong here.

Glass Wolves and War Songs

Rhea Nyx was supposed to have her forever. A mate bond. A pack. A future. But forever shattered the day he walked away, leaving her broken, pregnant, and alone in a sterile hospital room that didn’t care if she lived or died. Now, she’s just surviving. Barely. Until a little girl with too-big eyes and too much hope drags her into something like a second chance. Rhea doesn't believe in second chances. Not anymore. But when the people she's grown to protect are threatened, Rhea does what wolves do best—she fights back. Hard. And just when she thinks she's got nothing left to lose, she meets him. Her second chance mate. Only… he’s not just a man. He’s a hybrid. A set toy. Built in a lab, owned by monsters, trained to obey. And yet—he looks at her like she’s the only real thing in the world. Now Rhea has to make a choice. Burn it all down, or become the very thing that could break her mate. This is a story about found family, the soft ache of grief, the sharp edge of survival—and the kind of love that doesn’t ask for permission.

CHAMBER OF THE AUTHORITY

The energy. The light. The darkness. The void. From this genesis, the universe unfurled, seemingly endless expanse of stars and planets. That's sound beautiful? Such a white lie, an endless war between the heaven, the red authority, and the monster. Peace was a desperate, fading hope. And the one tasked with restarting it? It's Garret Spencer.

Cyberpunk: Legendary Mantis Blades From Day One

Lin Yu travels through time to the year 2075 and arrives in Night City. He becomes the younger brother of the corporate female V and unlocks a sign-in system, which grants him exclusive skills simply by staying near key story characters. At this point in time, David is still dutifully attending classes at Arasaka Academy. Lucy has just arrived in Night City and is wandering around like a headless chicken, searching for a place to take shelter. Jackie Welles is still a small-time punk in Heywood, dreaming of becoming a big shot. Ding! The sign-in system has been activated. Congratulations to the host for signing in with the story character Valerie (female V)! Skill unlocked: Flying Mantis Blades. Note: This is a skill — the protagonist has no cyberware implants, and therefore won't suffer from cyberpsychosis. "Heh, this is pretty interesting." "A cyberpunk without a single implant stirring up a storm in the entire Night City? Now that's something." Adam Smasher's expression darkened — he never expected to be toyed with so thoroughly by a cyberpunk. "Sure, I don't have any implants... but I have skills." A Li smiled slightly. Under Adam Smasher’s shocked gaze, two of the finest mantis blades slowly extended from his arms... [Raw: 赛博朋克开局签到传奇螳螂刀]
