PART 5 OF THE SECOND ARC OF NOCTURNE -- NOVELLAS. THE CONTINUING STORY OF GIDEON SHO, L'SANA M'RAS, PRINCESS ARIZELLE AND FREDERICK THE FIRST!!! Get your Post Apocalypse on !!!!
The War has truly begun, beyond chess pieces, beyond fients and ambushes. It is in the beginnings of end roads. In a broken world ruled by the System, power is not granted, it is taken. Gideon never asked to become anything more than a survivor. The System had other plans. Marked by forces older than gods and shaped by a path no one was meant to walk, he has become something the world does not understand and cannot control. |

Empires rise to hunt him. Gods take notice. Ancient powers stir beneath the surface of reality itself. Each step forward drags him deeper into a war that spans realms, where strength is measured in blood, loyalty is tested in fire, and failure is paid for in more than death. Because in this world, death is not the end. It is the cost of becoming something greater, and Gideon is no longer becoming, he has arrived. The war has begun to move. Gideon has broken through limits that should not exist, reshaping the battlefield with every step forward. What once hunted him now hesitates. What once ignored him now prepares. The Sanctum Empire moves in full, its Executioner unleashed, its Emperor watching, and its god no longer content to wait. In the Celestial Realm, forces beyond mortal understanding begin to shift, driven by pressure that does not come from within their world alone. Above it all, something older than gods tightens its grip. The System is watching. Adjusting. Deciding, and the window to act is closing. All paths are converging on Erebus All power is being brought to bear. And this time, there will be no retreat. |

|
|

Itβs off to the races in the explosive eighth book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl seriesβfeaturing bonus material exclusive to this print edition.
As chaos and mass panic spread outside the dungeon in the wake of Faction Wars, Carl and Donut find themselves on the tenth floor, where theyβre forced to compete in a surprisingly normal set of tasks. Well, normal for the dungeon.
Races. Get from point A to point B, and donβt come in last. After each race, they pick an upgrade for their vehicle and the track gets more challenging. It all seems a little too normal, a little too simple. |

Ignore those strange glitches that are occurring with increasing frequency. Donβt listen to those whispers about whatβs happening on the mysterious eleventh floor, something the system AI calls A Parade of Horribles. Nobody, not even the showrunners, knows what that means. Just that the AI has ominously dubbed it βa coming-out party for the ages.β
Everything is fine, Crawler. I repeat, everything is fine.
Carl hates that itβs business as usual. The rules of this floor have taken away his agency. That just will not do.
So Carl is planning a party of his own. Itβs a plan so dangerous, so insane, he canβt even consult his friends lest the AI put a stop to it. Because if it goes wrong, itβs not just the end of Carl and Donut. No. The stakes are higher than theyβve ever been. |

The Stubborn Skill-Grinder in a Time Loop 4: A LitRPG Adventure by X-RHODEN-X (kindle) |
|
|
|
System shattered, previous loop ended without closure, friends and allies lost.
Orodan is back to square one, except without the Status screen and skill levels which govern life for all beings within the System.
But as he soon learns... his skills haven't really been affected, only the numbers gone. He can still fight, he can still clean... and with the time loops unaffected, he can still grind and die.
Systemless, bereft of aid and in a situation nobody in the universe's history has been in before, Orodan must rebuild himself from the ground up. True mastery lies not in skill levels, but in actual skill. And without the numbers as a crutch... perhaps he can push his abilities even farther than they've ever gone before. |

|
|

And if his System is broken?
Perhaps he'll just build a new one for himself. One entirely of his own making. |

My Kaiju Evolution by Stephen Landry |
|
|
|
My Kaiju Evolution
A monster evolution story. The sky trembles.
Cities crumble.
Titans walk the earth once more. In a world where Kaiju rule and humanity scrambles to survive, hunters and scavengers alike must evolve or die. Rogue machines, parasitic swarms, and razor-sharp mini-K predators stalk every shadow, while the strongest consume the fallen to claim their power. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nox is one of them.
Once a nobody, a quiet gamer with only a few people who knew her name, she is reborn as a Kaiju, small, weak, and already prey. Dropped into a living graveyard of bone and rot, every step forward is survival, every kill a gamble, every bite a step toward something stronger. She woke up hungry.
Not human. Not even close.
What she eats becomes what she is. Claws. Armor. Instinct. Hunger.
The stronger she grows, the less human she feels. Holding onto who she was might be the most dangerous choice of all. The dungeon breathes. It watches. Slimes boil with unstable mana. Bone rats swarm the dark. Apex predators carve the tunnels into hunting grounds. Deeper still, something waits something ancient that doesnβt just kill. It cultivates. To grow, Nox must hunt.
To hunt, she must adapt.
To adaptβ¦ she must become something worse. Evolution isnβt a gift, itβs a choice. For fans of progression fantasy, LitRPG, and creature evolution stories, My Kaiju Evolution delivers brutal combat, constant growth, and a relentless climb from prey to predator. Level up, hunt, evolve or die forgotten in the dark. What to expect: Monster evolution progression (eat, adapt, evolve) Non-human MC (no instant OP power) Survival-focused LitRPG mechanics Dungeon ecosystem with escalating threats Solo climb from prey to apex predator Frequent updates |
