Also known as "Achieving Sainthood through Merit in America" A Demon Cultivator had transmigrated, arriving amidst a moving crowd. The bad news, his cultivation was gone. The good news, he was about to arrive at a holy land of the Demon Path. However, upon reaching the place and beginning his life as a Demon Cultivator, he found himself plunged into deep self-doubt. Why? I lead people to evil, yet I don't gain Demonic Qi but Merit instead? I commit murder and arson, yet I don't attract hostility but Incense? Where did things go wrong!

Seventeen years after the great war that reshaped realms, the world stands in uneasy peace under the watchful eye of the Shadow Monarch. His son, Sung Suho, comes of age in a world still marked by ancient power and fractured destinies. But Suho’s awakening is no ordinary inheritance. Bearing the weight of dual legacies—one forged in shadow, the other in destruction—Suho steps into a world transformed. As new Gates emerge with unfamiliar forms and unknown dangers, he faces trials that challenge not only his strength but his very essence. Each victory deepens his connection to forces far older and more complex than he could have imagined, while the mysterious System that governs Hunters begins to show signs of strain. Humanity itself has evolved. Mana pulses through the land and its people, shifting power balances and sparking new conflicts. Nations vie for control over these portals between worlds, and shadows of past heroes have twisted into something unrecognizable. Dark forces from other realities cross over, bringing chaos and challenge, forcing Suho to confront threats that blur the line between friend and foe. Torn between competing wills within himself and caught in a web of cosmic intrigue, Suho must learn what it truly means to wield power—not for conquest, but for purpose. Alongside unlikely allies and against enemies both familiar and strange, he fights to protect a world on the brink of fracturing. As Gates multiply and time itself seems to unravel, Suho’s journey leads to an inevitable reckoning. To survive—and to save all that remains—he must master the legacy he has inherited and forge a new path beyond legend. From the dawn of his ascension to the crucible of destruction, Suho’s fate will decide the shape of a new age. He will not simply follow in the footsteps of those before him, but become something entirely his own: the heir who reshapes the future. Note: ”While this is meant to serve as a sequel to Solo Leveling, and although I did pull inspiration from Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, this story is intended to be its own story which occurred within a separate reality.”~Darth Katalyst

Genre: Dark Fantasy / Supernatural Thriller Tone: Gothic, Introspective, Violent, Mysterious Setting: A fractured world where the mystical and mortal coexist in a fragile truce, post-cataclysm. Centuries ago, a celestial event known as “The Rift” opened a gateway between the mortal realm and the Veil—a dimension of raw magic and forgotten horrors. In its wake, humans mutated, evolved, and interbred with supernatural creatures. Now, the world is ruled by five secret factions: Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Faebloods, and Revenants. The Rift closed… but something is trying to open it again. Themes & Twists: Memory vs. Identity: Can you trust who you are if your memories are lies? Cycle of Betrayal: History repeats—unless someone chooses to break the loop. Moral Ambiguity: No faction is purely good or evil; survival has twisted all of them. Reality vs. Illusion: Faeblood magic distorts time and memory—what the reader believes is real may not be.

"Rosse... huh..." Rosse stared blankly at the boy in the mirror, momentarily at a loss for words. The boy in the mirror had a smooth and fair face, well-defined features, exuding a sense of cold and stern aura. His deep, dark eyes shimmered with captivating light, and his whole body radiated a noble temperament. He had transmigrated, or perhaps it was memory awakening, and directly became a Celestial Dragon. ’This is just, way too good!’ However, his identity was a bit awkward. His name was Jaygarcia Rosse, a standard Celestial Dragon name, and his grandfather was Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the current Five Elders, and also the first Five Elder to be removed in the original One Piece. ——— [Ding!

On Royal Road, Saylor Cogni believed in kindness—until the world tore that belief apart. Falsely accused, abandoned by everyone he trusted, and left to rot in silence, Saylor’s faith in humanity dies with a single cruel message: > “This is what you get for trusting people.” But death isn’t the end. It’s the beginning. Dragged into the Broken Field, a nightmarish realm suspended over an abyss of black mist, Saylor is one of fifteen chosen in a cruel survival lottery known only as The Dead Game. Above them spins the Broken Wheel—a demented machine that grants players devastating powers at random, from blood-chains and kinetic detonations to reality-bending spells. Most fight to survive. Some fight to ascend. But Saylor’s ability is different—a glitched Mimetic Spin that copies others’ powers, adapts to their evolution… and becomes something far worse. As the players begin to fall and the gods begin to descend—fallen champions twisted into monstrous kings of power—Saylor uncovers a deeper truth: > The Game doesn’t crown victors. It corrupts them into gods. And he may be next. You can find this story on Royal Road as well

Deep in the heart of the dense forest, a group of children gathered for a game of hide-and-seek. Little did they know that this seemingly innocent game would soon take a sinister turn. The sun began to set, casting long shadows across the forest floor, and an eerie silence settled in the air. The children selected one of their own, a timid girl named Emily, to be the seeker. With a nervous smile, she closed her eyes and began counting, her voice echoing through the trees. As the seconds ticked by, the remaining children scattered into the darkness, seeking out the perfect hiding spots. Emily finished counting and opened her eyes, ready to find her playmates. But as she ventured further into the forest, a sense of foreboding gripped her. The once familiar surroundings seemed twisted and distorted, as if the very essence of the forest had turned against her. The trees, once tall and majestic, now appeared gnarled and twisted, their branches reaching out like skeletal arms. The moon's pale light filtered through the thick canopy, casting an otherworldly glow on the forest floor. An unsettling chill ran down Emily's spine, but she pressed on, determined to find her friends.

After a wave of reports about animal attacks, disappearances, and the brutal murders of hikers in Arklay Forest, the S.T.A.R.S. Division launched an investigation. This operation would later be referred to as the Spencer Mansion incident, which occurred in the Arklay Mountains in late July 1998. The events that followed caused fear in Raccoon City to reach new heights. In the weeks after, the S.T.A.R.S. Division was disbanded while looking into Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, which was under scrutiny for allegedly conducting illegal experiments involving zombies and other creatures. Reports of missing tourists and residents added to the already tense atmosphere. Rumors of corruption, bribery, and even more serious crimes began to spread throughout the city. In response, the Raccoon Police Department set up a new SWAT unit, mostly made up of inexperienced officers, with only a few veterans to fill the gap left by the S.T.A.R.S. Division. To make matters worse, a fugitive known as the 'Arklay Butcher' escaped during a transfer and remains at large. In the midst of all this chaos, Raccoon City continued to experience strange incidents, hinting at deeper mysteries and chilling stories from survivors caught in this nightmare. This is purely a hobby I do on my free time, I'm constantly working on it when I get the chance... if I get the chance. I'm also not experienced so this is really just practice. Life is a fickle fucker; that being said, I'll try to keep the chapters coming, but I am likely still writing even if a bit of time has passed. I figured since I have always been a fan of the older games since I was a kid and love the Perry novels, I might as well go for it. I kind of just wanted to a decent movie to be honest. I need to flush out my writing and editing style and work on my pacing, any critique is welcome. Cover art and name is Capcom as this is a fanfiction.
