In a world where your worth is tattooed on your skin, Kael was born with a “1.” The lowest stratum. No rights. No future. Only pain. To survive, he endured. To change his fate, he bled. Until the day he was granted the Book of Power — a forbidden relic capable of granting unimaginable abilities… for a price. Each skill he unlocks chips away at his soul, dragging him closer to madness. If he breaks, the power will abandon him. If he stops, the innocent will suffer. Driven by purpose, haunted by sacrifice, Kael walks the thin line between justice and ruin. But as his strength grows, so does the risk of losing the one thing that still keeps him human. Her.

In this world where cultivators are all heroes of good deeds, Will a villain become the ultimate cultivator?

Their daughter… the only one who’s ever seen through his silence.

An Imperial Scholar by day. An assassin by night. The World of Cultivation has changed. Elemental Mancers. Flux Mancers. Spirit Mancers. Soul Mancers. Raining down fire and splitting oceans. Destroying mountains with a single stomp and calming skies with a glance. Controlling the tides of Karma, while wielding the souls of others like a puppeteer tugging on the Lines of Fate. The most mysterious of them all were Spirit Mancers, a truth that Theron was more than intimately familiar with. Due to one's Tribulation, his life was turned upside down. His family, his rage, his somber sadness becoming nothing more than Bad Karma's fuel for a madman. He was once a gentle young man, a non-combative Water Mancer who wanted nothing more than to read his novels to the sound of the rain and one day become an Imperial Scholar. But now... Everything had changed. He donned a cloak in the silent night as the clouds above gathered. Pulling its hood over his chilling blue eyes, he stalked off into the darkness. The first droplets fell. He would become the nightmare of his enemies, the blade hidden in the shadows of Heaven's tears. The River of the Night.

Sage going to find mystery behind two worlds and why that’s happening

The Age of Beasts Has Come The kingdoms of men are broken, their banners torn, their proud castles reduced to smoldering ruins. Civilization has collapsed into ruin beneath a tide of monsters, and the world that once belonged to humanity now writhes in the grip of a new, savage age. From the depths of the oceans rise the Mireborn—hideous, salt-encrusted mermen with gaping maws and spined tridents. They drag screaming villagers into the surf and build barnacle-covered altars from shipwrecks and bones. Whole coastal realms were the first to fall, swallowed by rising tides and the songless, gurgling chants of the deep. Out of the wild heart of the forest march the Beastmen—twisted hybrids of man and animal, driven by a primal hatred for all things human. Clad in hide and bone, they charge in frenzied warbands to burn villages, shatter towns, and gorge themselves on the dead. They seek no gold, no land—only the complete erasure of man’s mark on the world. Across the endless plains, Orcish hordes thunder forward on tusked beasts and crude iron chariots, following war-chiefs crowned with skulls. They come not in conquest, but in revelry, for to them, war is holy. Cities fall beneath their stampede, their stone walls crushed and their towers set ablaze. Beneath the very feet of humanity, the Ratmen rise. Swarming from ancient tunnels and collapsed sewers, they pour forth in diseased floods, carrying plague, fire, and madness. They do not speak, they screech—and where they pass, rot and ruin follow. From the towering mountains, the Giants and Ogres descend in famine-fueled hunger. They crack the earth with every step, uproot trees like twigs, and devour livestock, men, and stone alike. Nothing grows where their shadows fall, only ash and shattered bone. And amid this monstrous cacophony, the last scraps of mankind survive like vermin. The grand cities of the past are now little more than hollow shells, home to scavenger-tribes, broken lords, and fading clerics clinging to forgotten gods. Behind rusted gates and shattered windows, the last humans tremble, hoard, and feed on the dead. The world no longer belongs to man. In this new age witness the rise of the Carrion King.

Naomi Kintu was born in a world of crime and cruelty. After watching his mother gunned down by a gang over an unpaid loan, he was taken, broken, and nearly lost to the streets. But he survived. Became a police officer. And dedicated his life to dismantling every gang tied to his past. Case after case, he earned the title “Silent Killer”—a ghost in the shadows, serving justice with precision and fury. He solved 99 crimes. The 100th took his life. But death wasn’t the end. Naomi awakens two years later… in another world. A land ruled by swords, magic, and divine power—where there are no laws, only "righteous judgment" handed down by the strong. Chaos thrives. Innocents suffer. And the word justice means nothing. Reborn in the frail body of a noble boy long thought lost, Naomi finds himself in a world that needs something it's never had before. Not a king. Not a hero. But a cop. Now, with a new name, a new world, and no badge to protect him, Naomi must rebuild the very concept of justice from the ground up. Because evil doesn't care what world you're in. And justice… doesn’t die so easily.

Hananoi Tojiko is a figure shrouded in controversy, a human being who has long wished he had never been born. From his earliest memories, he saw himself as a miserable creature, cursed by existence itself. At the age of eight, he attempted to end his life—a desperate act that not only failed but also set his life spiraling into chaos. His mother’s hatred for him grew venomous, and the violent fights between his parents became the backdrop of his shattered childhood. When the news of his suicide attempt spread like a plague through the neighborhood, the shame and scrutiny became unbearable, forcing him to flee Japan, a broken boy exiled from his own home. Years later, Hananoi returns to Japan, a shadow of his former self, yet bearing the title of a recommended student at Noriko High School—a prestigious institution reserved for the elite. The school is a gilded cage, filled with the children of powerful families, prodigies, and those destined for greatness. But beneath its polished surface lies a world of cutthroat ambition, hidden cruelty, and unspoken rules. Hananoi, with his fractured psyche and the scars of his past, is an outsider in this world of privilege. His return is not a homecoming; it is a collision. His nemesis, a figure from his past, lurks in the shadows, waiting to reignite their bitter rivalry. And within Hananoi’s mind, the demons of his childhood still linger, whispering doubts and feeding his darkest impulses. Will he find a way to confront the darkness that has followed him since childhood, or will it consume him entirely? In a world where power and influence reign supreme, Hananoi’s tormented mind may be his greatest weapon—or the chain that drags him into the abyss.

Synopsis: "Although I have colluded with pirates, betrayed my comrades, trafficked arms, and amassed wealth... there is no doubt, I am a good Marine! 'Justice' will always prevail!" Nova Jay stood tall with his chest out, solemnly and firmly making his declaration beneath the fluttering Marine flag. Marinford fell into complete silence! Then, in the very next second, thunderous applause erupted! Everyone 'excitedly' cheered, ready to welcome the arrival of the Grand Marine Era! Alternate Synopsis: The Grand Marine Era Nova Jay was no saint. He had colluded with pirates, betrayed his comrades, smuggled arms, and amassed a fortune through corruption. And yet, standing tall beneath the fluttering Marine flag, he declared with unwavering conviction: "There is no doubt, I am a good Marine! 'Justice' will always prevail!" In that moment, all of Marineford fell silent. Then, the world erupted. Applause thundered, cheers shook the heavens, and the tides of history shifted. The so-called "justice" of the past was shattered, giving way to a new era, one where ambition, deception, and power redefined what it meant to be a Marine. As the Grand Marine Era dawns, Nova Jay stands at its helm, navigating treacherous waters where allies are as dangerous as enemies. Is he a hero? A villain? Or simply the only man brave enough to rewrite the rules of the sea? In a world where justice is just another lie, only one truth remains: power decides everything Disclaimer This is a fan translation of [海贼：这个海军好卑鄙！] by [无面凄凉].

After years of emotional and physical abuse, no friends, nothing. Our mc is reborn into the world of My Hero Academia in the body of a young boy named Dante Graves, a seemingly normal kid. With no knowledge of this new world, a villainous father on the run, without a home, Dante yearns for a new life, a life where he is truly free. This is probably the most fun I’ve had writing with this fic what to expect : - Vigilante MC - NO HAREM - Maybe a little bit of romance - Chapters every 1-2 days - Extremely smart mc - Fairly powerful mc, but it’s all due to how well he makes use of his quirk and natural abilities - NO system - I may forget some things, or even just get some stuff completely wrong… but don’t hate me too much for that
