In the City of Gold, the cheapest commodity is a human life. Aurion is a city of layers. At the top, the Dwarven nobility live in golden palaces fueled by the massive mines beneath the earth. At the bottom, humans scrape by in the rain-slicked slums of the Lower Ring, grateful for whatever scraps fall from the table. Constable Elian knows his place. As a human officer in the City Watch, his job is to break up bar fights and ignore the excesses of the ruling class. But the fragile peace shatters when a member of the Royal Family, is found dead in an alley. With the city on the brink of civil war, Elian and his dwarven partner, Korg, must go rogue to find the real killer. But as they peel back the layers of the conspiracy, they realize that the bullet was just the beginning. In a city built on gold, someone is digging for something far more dangerous.

“Night has fallen. Monsters, open your eyes. Werewolves, kill. Vampires, kill. Tengu, kill. Corporate security, kill. Mercenaries, kill. Gangs, kill. Counter-terror squads, kill. Cyberpsychos, kill. Biotech mutants, kill. Interdimensional demons, kill. Void Zerg, kill. Arcane abominations, kill. Millions of Dream-Possessed, kill...” The Public Safety System says: “It’s morning. Last night was a peaceful night— The cyberpsycho killed all the monsters. Survivors, please speak.” Li Pan says: “First of all, I’m not a cyberpsycho. I just have a slightly elevated spiritual awareness.”

Reincarnated into Zaun and arriving right on the timeline where Vander is dead and Silco takes control—Logan doesn’t panic. He’s a transmigrator, and he came with a cheat ability. The problem is… the cheat is weird. When Logan opens his status panel, he realizes it doesn’t look like a normal power system at all. It looks like a game—complete with objectives, “routes,” and rewards that feel uncomfortably personal. Logan can handle monsters, gangs, and a city tearing itself apart. But figuring out why his new life is being treated like a dating sim? That might be the most dangerous part of all.

He lived a quiet life in a loud world. Work. Regret. Silence. Then, in a single careless moment, it ended. Stabbed in the heart of a crowded city, a man who had never truly lived awakens in a world he does not recognize—Tetramor—inside a body that should never have been his. A vampire. A noble. A man despised by his own blood. His new name is Dariush Farzad, and everything wants him dead. Clans whisper his name with hatred. Empires watch for his fall. Friends, enemies… even those closest to him hide knives behind smiles. Worse still, his body stands at the brink of collapse—starved, weakened, and hunted—while fragments of a past life he does not remember scream warnings inside his mind. Powers he does not yet understand. A world ruled by Phase, Will, and Blood. And a fate already written in someone else’s ink. All he asked for was a chance to live. Instead, he was given a throne surrounded by graves. Now, with death closing in from every direction, Dariush must choose: Fade quietly, as everyone expects… or embrace the monster they fear—and survive at any cost. Because in Tetramor, mercy is a luxury. And those who hesitate… do not live long enough to regret it. —————————————————— author note: the update rate is; 1~3 chapter per day, but when the number of collections increase. unless it's going to be 1 chapter per day. so if you love this novel, don't forget to support it, so I get motivation for uploading more chapters. and what you need to expect from this novel: fast pace story but slow burn progression (kinda). the mc will get stronger, but not too fast. he will suffer, but don't break. a story with a lot of gore. and eroticism(not much, just for making the story feel real). great world building, and power system. emotional sence and slow burn romance(maybe, but not cliche). harem? maybe, because I am not sure. the mc has wife. humor and comedy even in serious moments. perfect and human like mc, even though he is a vampire now. but he isn't going to be like other protagonists. actually good villains. both tragic and pure evil. the mc is going to be a anti-hero. so if you see him killing a supposed to be hero character. don't get shocked. political and war in Novel is going to exist too. in the end, don't forget to support my work if you think it's good. I appreciate every single support you give me, even if it's just a collection or little comment. (*๓´╰╯`๓)o

"Our path shall forever be painted in crimson..." For Praefectus Cassius, the crimson path was a vow. A promise of victory for his God-Empire. But after he commits an act of mercy that his faith calls a sin, that path becomes his punishment. Stripped of his command, he is sent on a journey to the lost province of Deawiel with three unlikely companions: a loyal soldier, a broken priestess, and their prisoner—a sharp-tongued, otherworldly creature who knows more about the Empire's lies than any holy text. In a world where gods grant terrible power and priests can become monsters, Cassius walks a razor's edge. To complete his mission, he must survive heretics, divine wrath, and the unsettling truths his guide reveals. But the greatest threat may be the crumbling of his own faith, as he discovers that the road to salvation is often paved with heresy.

In a vast steampunk world ruled by machines, endless resource wars, and government officials who care nothing for their citizens, humanity has forgotten the power flowing through its own blood. Known as Kynara, this magic is limited only by imagination, yet few possess the creativity to wield it in a society that relies on gears to solve every problem. After their parents vanish in a brutal war between districts, three orphans Elias, Varya, and Liora are taken in by a reclusive inventor who raises them above the iron city. As they grow, they uncover a forgotten truth; Kynara does not answer to machines but to the mind and to the bonds between people. Dreaming of ending the wars and freeing humanity from its dependence on machinery, the three set their sights on ascension to godhood. But who knows what side the gods above are truly on. Can three orphan children not only prove to the entire world that gods are not born from machines but from imagination, but also uncover and reveal the secrets hidden in the cogs and gears?

In his previous life, James was an overworked corporate drone who died of stress at his desk. His dying wish was simple: if there is a next life, let it be boring. Let it be quiet. Let it be absolutely, undeniably carefree. The universe heard him, laughed, and reincarnated him as Peregrine Henry Wellington, the Crown Prince and sole heir to the sprawling, industrial nightmare known as the Iron-Blood Empire.

In the dying embers of the Royal Era, Azmareel is a soot-choked carcass. Alexander Milov, known as "The Ghost," possesses a cursed gift: he sees the world in the colors of souls. Fear is violet, greed is yellow, and brutality is crimson. When a massive explosion shatters the city's fragile peace, Alexander must navigate a world of shifting loyalties and industrial shadows. The age of kings is over; the age of wolves has begun.

The industrial revolution had come. With it, dozens of new jobs were both destroyed and created. Machinery never before imagined now crowded factories and spread across the world. Carriages moved not only by horses but also by coal and steam. Trains carrying thousands of people at once. Weapons of war capable of killing hundreds and destroying dozens of cities. This was the revolution taking place. Yet, amidst this revolution, something awoke. Something hungry, rising from beyond the veil that shrouds our reality and the unknown. These beings seek to feed on the sanity, the mind, and the flesh of mortals, growing and evolving as they feast upon our lives. Amidst the veiled chaos, amidst this secret war, a girl finds herself directly entangled in this dark world, and is now forced to do whatever it takes to survive.

The world of Rohana exists beneath a barrier of luminous crosses that has enclosed humanity in a dome. Within it, the Rohana Federation bends to Rohai, a godlike figure whose staff bears seven crystals of immense power. His Church of Harmony has divided the world into city dwellers who harness crystal technology to live in advancement and comfort, and villagers who reject these powers, cling to simpler traditions, staying beyond the Church's reach. Haran Baratti fled his homeland and, along with his son Heron, sought refuge in Haugstad. Perhaps it was the will of the Creators, but after several star cycles of found peace, a tragedy strikes, leaving Heron to find himself alone with a mission to return to Tiwaz. The problem is that Tiwaz is in a different kingdom, a whole world away, and to get there, he'll need a special passport. One way to obtain it is to join an adventuring party that does international jobs. Heron will have to navigate a world of mechanical cities powered by crystalline powers and governed by various social structures. There he'll meet allies and face dangerous foes. And all of them have secrets; some of them, if revealed to the public, may reshape the very foundations of the Rohana Federation. Will Heron, in learning those secrets, realize that maybe some of those secrets should have stayed buried? What to expect: ‣ Dark steampunk-inspired power fantasy with extensive world-building ‣ Magic systems where power comes at a psychological cost ‣ Visceral, well-choreographed combat sequences ‣ Mysteries that unfold across multiple volumes ‣ Steampunk aesthetics merged with elemental magic ‣ Stories where the actors are often found in morally grey areas ------------------------------------------- Chapters are broken into subchapters and are released daily.

Synopsis – Secret of the Roth (Book One) In the shadowed city of Iron Clover, humans and vampires share a fragile peace built on fear, politics, and old wars. But when a prominent man is found dead under strange and brutal circumstances, the balance begins to crack. At the center of it all is Jonathan Hanns, a young man burdened by family secrets — and chained to a house where something monstrous lurks upstairs. Drawn into the investigation alongside Albert and Raleigh. Jonathan discovers forbidden relics: a cursed ritual knife, a book with missing pages, mysterious blueprints and whispers of the long-forgotten Cult of Patra — a sect that once sought immortality in the sun through blood arcane magic. As tensions in Iron Clover ignite — tavern brawls between humans and vampires, mysterious disappearances, and the arrival of the eccentric hunter Merlein— Jonathan must decide whether to run from the truth… or face it. Because the Roth — the twisted half dead, half vampire creatures — may not be a forgotten horror after all. And their secret is clawing its way back into the light.

When you start to see the dead, you may be close to death yourself. And that death, which twists and curses the world with its festering hatred, of grudges unpaid, will bring about the end of times, the second apocalypse, as they call it. It starts with a disease, which turns blood to jet black ink, and its victims to something not quite human. In a world where inhumanity is a crime worthy of death, what Park Hajoon was dealt was a death sentence. What to expect: -Post apocalyptic world, rigid class structure, and society with steampunk influence. -Hunters and dungeons(solo leveling, orv) but with a horror twist. -Supernatural creatures and beings, deities, demons. -Flawed protagonist dealing with a messed up world and messed up people. The cover is drawn by me

Adrian awakens in a body that isn’t his and a town that feels subtly wrong, where shadows breathe, memories shift, and everyone insists he’s someone he isn’t. The deeper he digs into the life he’s inherited, the more the world bends around him—whispers through walls, dreams that feel real, and a presence in his chest that is very much alive. He must uncover the truth before the mind he’s wearing decides to take itself back.

Kaiden was nothing special — a prideful man clinging to a dead-end job, bitter at the world that forgot him. Fired, humiliated, and drunk, he hurled himself at his former manager in a haze of rage… only to stumble onto the train tracks and wake up somewhere far worse. He awakens not in death, but in a fractured world of magic, war, and cruelty — his body twisted into a half-metal, half-human weapon under the rule of a demon army. Branded as a tool, forced to obey, Kaiden becomes part of a war he doesn’t understand, in a faction he can’t trust. But he won’t kneel forever. Denied magic. Discarded by humans. Feared by demons. Kaiden begins a slow climb through the command ranks, masking his fury with strategy, spite, and survival. Yet the higher he rises, the more the chains tighten — and the more he realizes he may never belong to any side. As war consumes the continent, Kaiden faces rebels, heroes from his own world, and a future carved in blood and rust. The only question is: Will he become a legend… or just another forgotten tool?

When Seth Virell opens his eyes, he finds himself standing before endless shelves of rotting tomes and whispering ink. The air tastes of dust, secrets, and something… watching. A lone desk sits in the center, a brass placard gleaming faintly: “Archivist.” The Library of the Broken Spine is no mere repository of books. Its shelves contain realities long erased, stories abandoned by the worlds that birthed them, and truths that should never be read aloud. Here, every choice Seth makes is recorded — not in paper and ink, but in the fabric of existence itself. Granted a single Discipline and an oath he does not remember swearing, Seth is tasked to catalog, alter, and seal away dangerous narratives before they leak into the living world. But each book he touches tries to write him back. And in the shadows between the shelves, something waits — not to be read, but to be remembered. In this library, forgetting is mercy. Remembering… is damnation.
