Lord Of Beasts

Ethan Crowe walked out of prison after seven years with nothing to his name and nowhere to belong. The world he returned to was unrecognisable. Gates had torn open across the globe, monsters roamed beyond human control, and society now revolved around the Titled - people chosen by mysterious voices and granted supernatural powers that made them heroes, weapons, and rulers all at once. Ethan wasn’t one of them. Not at first. Lost, angry, and with no future worth chasing, Ethan was barely surviving when a voice finally spoke to him. "Your Title is… Lord Of Beasts." But something about his awakening was wrong. Instead of gaining power in the real world like every other Titled, Ethan awakened a System tied to the Tower Of Beasts - a brutal, game-like world he can only enter while asleep. Inside the Tower, Ethan must fight for survival against monstrous creatures, earning power through a system of skills, evolution, and beasts. As for the beasts he acquires there? They persist beyond his dreams... Registered as an E Rank Titled with only D Rank potential, Ethan should have been insignificant. Yet the Lord of Beasts cannot be measured by ordinary standards. As Ethan grows stronger at an impossible rate, his existence begins to ripple outward - drawing the attention of elite Titled, criminal syndicates, and forces lurking behind the Gates themselves. His past refuses to stay buried, his beasts grow more dangerous, and the truth behind his Title hints at something far more terrifying than anyone realises. In a world ruled by power, Ethan Crowe starts at the bottom. But as the Lord of Beasts, it’s only a matter of time before he climbs to the top! Note: The novel is a gritty version of the typical hunter/awakener novels with a beast twist, which I hope you will enjoy Feel free to reach out on Instagram/Discord: BerserkBaldy P.S.

Blade Over Magic

Xander was hailed as The Swordmaster on earth. When it came to blades, he held no equal. It didn't mater what category or how experienced his opponent was. He was just better, and none could deny it. Yet all it took was a bullet to end his life. All that hard work, all that talent. All of it gone because of an idiot with a gun. So Xander was naturally indignant against the reality of it. What was the point, then? What was the purpose of achieving such mastery if his life could be snuffed out so easily? His final thoughts were filled with resentment and regret. And so he closed his eyes. Only to reopen them again. But not in a hospital. But in an entirely new world, filled with magic and mages. Xander thought that in a place like this, his dream of making swordplay relevant would be possible. But he was dismayed to learn that not only had the body he transmigrated to been incredibly weak and untalented, but the act of swordfighting was heavily looked down upon. Made obsolete by mages who chanted powerful spells and unleashed them from a distance Yet on the verge of losing hope, he discovered something. This world, it's understanding of swordfighting wasn't just rudimentary. It was PATHETIC! Elite knights only knew how to swing harder and faster! There was no technique! No order! Offended, Xander made to use a blade. Even if the path was dead, he would not allow something so sacred to him be insulted so thoroughly. However, in the throes of his swordplay, he made a discovery, one that would shake the very foundations of the world as everyone knew it. Swordfighting wasn't obsolete. No, it was simply unexplored! And Xander, with his adequate knowledge on how to wield a blade realized... "The usage of swords with proper technique, is a form of magic in itself." And so begins the story of a man who decided to turn the entire world of magic on its head, with a Blade.

My Tribrid System: More than a Monster

{69K words before locked] Fifty years ago, a shower of meteors descended from the skies. With them came a strange, colorful mist that wiped out ten percent of humanity and changed the world forever. Ten years later, the real nightmare began. From beyond the stars came the Abberants — massive, intelligent, ape-like creatures standing over nine meters tall. Stronger, faster, technologically superior, they declared themselves the rightful rulers of Earth and plunged humanity into a war it never asked for. On the brink of extinction, humanity survived only because of one miracle. Meta-Humans. Humans who awakened extraordinary abilities and pushed the Abberants back. Some shared their powers to protect mankind. Others hoarded them, turning strength into bloodline privilege. Ray Dawson was never one of them. At least, not at first. Just a boy with an ordinary life, working in secret to save enough money to buy an ability book and change his fate — without his mother ever knowing. The day his dream was supposed to come true, everything was taken from him. An Abberant attack left Ray with nothing but rage, grief, and a shattered future. Sent to a brutal survival camp meant to forge soldiers, Ray’s life should have ended quietly like countless others. Instead, an accident changed everything. ... [Searching...] [Search Complete] [Ding! Trial completed] [All forms of pained endured by specimen.] [Soul and body compatible with the system] [Congratulations Host! You have successfully awakened the Tribrid System] ... Ray awakens The Tribrid System — a system that does not grant him a single power, but awakens three sentient existences within him, each tied to a different bloodline, each with its own will… and its own strength; Trying to takeover and make him a monster. As Ray fights, grows stronger, levels up, and evolves, he begins to merge these other selves into one body — unlocking power far beyond ordinary Meta-Humans. But the Abberants are only the beginning. Hidden truths, internal human conflicts, and enemies far worse than beasts await beyond the battlefield. This is the story of a boy who lost everything — and chose to become the weapon humanity needs. Will Ray survive the external and internal war raging? Find out more in this book; Evolution. Survival. Ascension. Follow Ray Dawson as he rises through the Vanguard, forms his squad, and walks the path toward becoming something the Abberants and even the world never accounted for. __ The Discord Server for the book has been created.

The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Author's message to webnovel readers: Hello everyone, I’m Morning Star LL! Meet again, huh! Along with "This Game is Too Real" another novel titled "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" has been released. Still one "player + isekai" combination. This time, however, the isekai is a completely fantastical world detached from reality, the legendary realm of swords and magic. The primary motivation behind writing this book was to address the regrets left from "This Game is Too Real" Although I endeavored to incorporate as much of my intended message and the creative ideas that emerged during the writing process, I had to give up many ideas due to length constraints. Thus, I thought why not start from scratch and write about a game set against the backdrop of a fantasy world, shifting the focus more on the original inhabitants of the isekai rather than the players from Earth, to see if it could generate more interesting interactions. Like "This Game is Too Real", "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" primarily features a light-hearted and humorous style. Without the burden of a serious overarching background, the overall tone is somewhat more cheerful than "This Game is Too Real". I'll leave the rest of the content for you all to discover within the book! I hope that you will enjoy my work! Thank you! by Morning Star LL —————————————— Succubus Reporter: "Respected Lord Demon King, I remember the Demon God ordered you to spread panic among our enemies, but how come I've heard that you bought an entire street in the enemy's city center?" Luo Yan: "Foolish! Don't you understand tactical relocation? If I buy up the humans' city, won't the humans have to move into my underground city to live?" Succubus Reporter: "However, I heard that when the humans learned even the Demon King was buying property in the Holy City, not only did it fail to cause panic, but it also doubled the property prices in the Holy City." Luo Yan said smugly. "This precisely proves that my plan is correct!" Meanwhile, in the underground city, the skeletal miners (players) were making a fuss. "Get the game designer out here!" "What happened to promised divine pets, divine equipment, nurturing, achievements, the marketplace, junior female fellow practitioners, senior female fellow practitioners... the system, huh?" "Is this game really just about mining?!"
