Simon Blackburn and The Chosens

Aster_Nax
​Was the darkness that gave you birth meant to destroy the world... or to save it? ​Within the silent walls of an orphanage, Simon spent his days hoping for one thing: a family to call his own. But instead of a welcoming home, he received a letter—an invitation to Willowgate Academy, claiming he had been chosen by the Gods themselves. ​As he steps into a world of magic, Simon is forced to confront a terrifying truth about his past. The blood coursing through his veins isn't ordinary; he is the descendant of the infamous "Blackburn," a name that once brought the world to its knees in terror. ​Surrounded by hostility, fearful whispers, and glares of hatred within the ancient halls of the academy, Simon must now define his own destiny. Will he embrace his heritage as the heir to the world’s most feared bloodline and become its destroyer? Or will he emerge from the shadows as a savior seeking the light? ​The truth might kill you. But your choice will keep you alive. This is an original fantasy story inspired by magical academy stories, but it is not related to any existing franchise.

Plants vs Dungeon

When dungeon gates opened across the world, it became a gold rush. Hunters chased glory. Guilds chased power. Corporations chased profit. Phong Tran awakened as a Level 1 Farmer. No skills. No passives. A broken EXP bar that never moved. So he sold energy drinks instead. Leg warmers. Electrolytes. Power banks. If everyone else was digging for gold, he’d sell the shovels. Then Josh came. University golden boy. Gym-built. Son of a man who could erase problems with a phone call. “Protection fee.” Phong refused. He woke up in a hospital bed, beaten within an inch of death. His aunt and uncle were gone. No bodies. No investigation. No media coverage. Just silence. Then, as if the universe had a sense of humor, his system finally gave him a quest: Plant and harvest 10 potatoes in the dungeon. That’s it. No penalties. No forced missions. No ticking clock. No promise of justice. Just a choice. Phong takes it. The potatoes mutate. Then other plants followed. Chilies spit burning rounds. Sweet potatoes bulk up into blunt-force bruisers. Garlic turns chemical-warfare illegal. Enoki mushrooms rattle like dungeon-grade machine guns. His crops become his frontline. Phong doesn’t want to conquer the dungeon. He wants to build something inside it. A farm. A hearth. A settlement for people tired of being disposable. He won’t let revenge be the only thing he grows. Revenge lit the spark. But it won’t be the only thing he grows. And if the most powerful man in the city comes looking to finish what his son started... He’ll learn something the dungeon already knows. This farm fights back.
