Define Dignity: Vol. 1 by azurearts

In the year of 5420, the remainder of humanity has broken into 6 different nations, each titled after their field of expertise. The Dark Nation has naturally taken towards the hunger for control, power, and hurt, fighting dirty and killing thousands in their path. The fate of the world has been left to a hard-headed and perverted former Fire Nation mercenary, an abandoned Water Nation prince, and a strong-willed Fire Nation general. In all honesty, they don't stand much of a chance with such a rag-tag crew, but in the world of Heikoto, if magic that has always been inside of human-kind is achievable, then it might just be worth a shot. Let's end this cold blooded war!

The Legacy Of 2144: The Beginning by Jiro_Yamata_456

In the distant future, around the 22nd Century, a world once filled with technological marvels and awe-inspiring advancements has fallen under the shadow of an insidious evil. Neon City, once a gleaming metropolis, now trembles with darkened clouds that mirror the malevolence growing within the heart of an ancient evil: the Necromancer of Desolation, Deathwhisperer. Deathwhisperer, a sorcerer of unparalleled darkness, had delved deep into forbidden realms of necromancy and forbidden knowledge. His insatiable thirst for power led him to unearth otherworldly secrets that should have remained locked away for eternity. With each forbidden incantation, Deathwhisperer's power grew, and so did his insidious ambition - to extinguish the light of humanity and plunge the world into eternal darkness under his dominion. But in darkness, two realms rose to fight against him, the Medieval and Futuristic. Indulge yourself in this epic tale of a war between 3 realms. Who will rise...and who will fall?

When Alex wakes up in the hospital, ranting about a girl and water, he is assured that his hallucinations were a side effect to almost drowning, and he was unconscious for nearly two days.

He saw a shadow at the water's edge.

This is not an Apocalypse by 01Honeybadger

The world is changing, two years ago strange weather, various anomalies and strange creatures started appearing from nowhere all over the world. Some creatures were completely alien and others were familiar looking as if they'd stepped from myth and legend. What many of these creatures had in common however was their aggressive nature and predatory instinct. Things that go bump in the night, that shifting shadow in the dark alley way, the cracking branch right behind you. Nightmarish creatures now stalk the land. Monsters. That isn't the only change in a new world however, humans have also changed. Some unknown phenomenon has granted humanity access to incredible power. The very elements themselves can now be wielded by those willing to risk the dangers. Earth, wind, fire, water, suddenly magic has become possible in a modern world and there are many who are eager to develop and embrace their newfound power and help protect their fellow man from monsters. There are also many who are willing to make a profit from newfound opportunities this changing world provides. Unfortunately for our MC Jack, embracing newfound power and going out to valiantly battle monsters isn't quite as simple as most other people have it. He possesses the rare and not so sought after lightning element, considered the weakest element for certain reasons, pitied and looked down upon Jack is determined to become a successful monster hunter in a more and more dangerous world. A slow burn story with world building, dungeon delving, character progression, Litrpg elements and more. WARNING - The MC is not a Mary Sue, he is not super competent, or super powerful or super intelligent nor a paragon of virtue, just a normal guy in a not so normal situation and him growing to deal with it in his own way.

The Golden Tide: Reincarnated As A Fish by space_swordmaster

One moment, she was an ordinary teacher. The next, she was gone, swallowed by a void of darkness. When she finally opens her eyes, it isn't to a familiar world-it's to the crushing depths of an endless ocean, her reflection revealing a body covered in golden scales. Reincarnated as a fish in a world she doesn't understand, she's thrust into a relentless fight for survival. A strange system binds itself to her, offering a single chance: level up or be consumed. The rules are brutal-eat or be eaten-and the ocean is teeming with predators that defy imagination. But as she grows stronger and evolves, she begins to see glimpses of a purpose she cannot yet grasp. The tides carry whispers of secrets buried in the abyss, of monsters sleeping in the deep, and of powers far greater than her own. She thought death was the end. She was wrong. It was only the beginning. In this world, survival isn't guaranteed, and transformation comes at a cost. The ocean waits, dark and unforgiving. Will she rise with the tide-or be lost beneath it?

GENESIS: The Ascendance Protocol by KgB252

The Earth as it was no longer exists. What remains is a fragmented skybound world-vast floating landmasses suspended over an endless abyss of energy. The oceans have vanished, replaced by an enigmatic force beneath the remnants of civilization, an infinite power source that hums with untold secrets. Cities of gleaming spires and neon-lit corridors cling to these drifting continents, where the remnants of humanity thrive under a futuristic society shaped by science, ambition, and an unspoken fear of the past. Reality is no longer bound by mere chance. Probability itself bends to those who wield the Quantum Matrix, a force derived from the very essence of existence. With it, individuals can reshape their destinies-or bring ruin upon everything around them. Order and chaos exist in delicate balance, held in check by those who seek free will and those who seek freedom.
