The apocalypse is just a prank bro

Lord_Frumtelbucket
He likes his tea at the correct temperature, his socks properly paired, and his mornings arranged in a way that suggests the universe still has standards. When the rain starts melting streets, the dead begin walking, and something the size of an office block starts treating the city like a snack drawer, Arthur does what any sensible man would do. He complains about infrastructure. Unknown to Arthur, the world ended three years ago. Also unknown to Arthur, an ancient reality-warping entity has bonded itself to him and now lives inside his shadow. It can erase monsters, bend perception, fold space, and turn threats into neat little cubes before Arthur has time to notice anything impolite happening nearby. Unfortunately, its host has the survival instincts of a tax form and the emotional range of a man mildly inconvenienced by poor customer service. So while Arthur walks through the apocalypse looking for socks, groceries, functioning public transport, and someone to accept his complaint letters, the thing inside his shadow works itself half to death keeping him alive. It destroys horrors before he sees them. It edits reality when he notices too much. It silently curses every monster stupid enough to approach him. And Arthur, somehow, still thinks the city just needs better maintenance.

Wolf Princess Sold to the Dragon King

"Take me instead." Three words. Guinevere Lunaris trades herself and saves 300 lives. Tied. Gagged. Underestimated by a mile. They chain her to a tree in the snow. Mistake. While running for her life, she meets a stranger in the dark and tells him to hide so he isn’t killed. Twelve hours later, he walks into her father's hall wearing a crown. The man she just told to hide in a hole is Maddox Drakencrest, High King of Velkaris. Ruler of an entire continent. Maddox hears his dragon say ‘mate’ right away. But her wolf is silent. More and more Alpha Kings enter the hall. She catches the tail end of her father’s toast and chokes on her wine. "—leave here with a virgin bride." An auction for her hand turns into a full-out bidding war. Maddox wins. 750 million in gold, three dragon fleets, and an urn full of the bastard who chained her the day before. Every force in Velkaris is betting against a wolf on a dragon throne. The Elders say the queen must be a dragon rider, which is impossible for a woman without dragon blood. The king's half-brother agrees with them, but his solution is a civil war and taking the crown for himself. If his brother’s rebellion wins, Maddox dies and she belongs to him. If the elders win, she goes back to the father who sold her. Neither is happening. Her wolf calls Velkaris home. She's not giving it up. They expect Guinevere to behave like a good little wolf princess and play along with their political games. She says bet.

Heir of the eight gods

In a world where survival is dictated by power, chosen youths are dragged into a brutal trial where monsters roam and death is constant. Among them is Jade—a boy with an unusual affinity for blood and a mind sharpened by deception and instinct. From the moment he steps into the trial, Jade realizes one truth: strength is not given—it is taken. Armed with a mysterious system that allows him to absorb fragments from slain creatures, Jade begins his rise. His body evolves. His abilities grow. And his control over blood, ice, and living vines turns him into something far beyond human. But power comes at a cost. As alliances form and shatter, Jade crosses paths with a deadly assassin known as Silent Slayer—a man who moves through shadows and kills without hesitation. What begins as a clash between two monsters slowly turns into an uneasy alliance when a greater truth emerges: The trial is not just about survival. It is a prison. Hidden deep within ancient ruins lies a secret that binds all participants—a force tied to forgotten gods, rebirth, and a fate that cannot be escaped. And at the center of it all… Is Jade. As his power grows, so does the fear around him. Some call him a savior. Others call him a monster. But one title begins to echo across the trial: Blood Slayer. To escape, Jade must conquer the shadowed world, face ancient guardians, and uncover the truth behind the Eight Gods. Because in this world… Only one can inherit their power.
