righteous

An anecdote of cosmos, human and...power.

Rowe Garrison never expected his fate to intertwine with the gods. Armed with the Book of Warcraft Paladins, he finds himself reborn in Asgard, a mere herbalist apprentice with the potential to wield divine power. As he discovers the legendary abilities of Azeroth—Divine Shield, Judgement, Consecration, and the might of Sulfuron Warhammer—he embarks on a path of righteousness in a universe filled with celestial beings, cosmic tyrants, and ancient forces of chaos. But Asgard is not a place for the weak. From training under the watchful eyes of Odin to battling Frost Giants, Kree invaders, and the looming threat of Thanos, Rowe must prove his worth, not just as a warrior but as a protector of the Nine Realms. With the echoes of World of Warcraft resonating through him, he must balance his devotion to justice with the harsh realities of the Marvel Universe. With hammer in hand and the Holy Light as his guide, Rowe Garrison will forge a new legend among the gods. JOIN MY PATREON TO READ ADVANCE CHAPTERS patreon.com/HACKDWORLD

(Asian Themes) Lee Jihoon, a brilliant film director renowned for his innovative storytelling and cinematic mastery, meets an untimely demise at the height of his career. However, instead of fading into oblivion, he finds himself reborn in the year 2006, inhabiting the body of a notorious chaebol heir from the powerful Lee family—a world far removed from the film sets he once called home. With memories of the future and insider knowledge of both the film and entertainment industries, Jihoon sees this as his second chance—not only to redefine Korean cinema but to reshape the K-pop industry before it spirals into its darkest scandals. However, his new identity comes with an unexpected burden: the ruthless succession battle within the Lee family.

With his wealth and influence as a chaebol heir, he sets out to revolutionize the entertainment industry, challenge the oppressive systems controlling idols, and craft a legacy that will change the course of Hallyu forever.

In the fractured, steam-powered world of Signo, where magic is worshipped and life is expendable, seven godlike mages—known as the Seven Graces—rule over the continents like divine kings. Each wields a forbidden branch of magic, from time to death itself, and are seen as humanity’s last hope against the horrifying Vanderes—eldritch invaders from beyond the stars. But beneath their sanctified image lies a festering rot. When one of these "saviors" murders a helpless family under the guise of justice, a young magicless boy named Azriel survives—broken, forgotten… and changed. Ten years later, Azriel lives in the industrial city of Reigo, scraping by in a bar run by a grizzled ex-warrior named Gio. He’s no mage. No warrior. Just a boy running from grief—until the night he dies and wakes up again. Now cursed—or blessed—with a mysterious ability to return from death, Azriel is forced to uncover the secrets behind the Graces' power, and the true nature of the "heroes" the world has blindly worshipped. As rebellion stirs and trust is shattered, Azriel must choose: stay in the shadows, or rise as the spark that sets the world ablaze. Because gods may not bleed—but tyrants always fall.

'MICHAEL KINGSTON' The very name resonated with a multitude of meanings, each as potent and distinct as the individuals who uttered it. To some, he was the towering figure of a great general in the United States Army, a master strategist who shaped the battlefields of his time. To others, he was a beacon, a leader who inspired and guided the masses. In the world of commerce, Michael Kingston was spoken of in hushed, awestruck tones – the greatest businessman the world had ever witnessed. He was a paradox, a man who embodied both the gentle virtues of righteousness and kindness, and the stark, unwavering force of ruthlessness when the occasion demanded. Respect and fear walked hand-in-hand in his wake. Such was his influence that, for much of the 20th century, the trajectory of the world itself seemed to bend to his will. This is the extraordinary life of the great Michael Kingston. Note: Real life historical politicians, actors and actresses will be included in the story.

In the midst of a conflict going on between 9S and A2, 2B decides to force them both into getting along with one another, and finally become friends rather than enemies. However, since each of these androids are as equally stubborn as one another, 2B's 'challenge' that is intended to bring them together turns into a battle of endurance to see who can last the longest without HOLDING HANDS, for that is the condition for a truce that neither of them are willing to let happen. This is a spicy but filtered and realistic take on the events of NieR Automata and its characters after the conclusion of the game's true ending, Ending E, and done in a way without ANY spoilers. [Author Note: This all started from a daydream I wrote down in DeviantArt about what life would look like for the three androids of NieR Automata after Ending E, with inspiration from Sakimichan's artwork that I originally used for the poster for this upload without permission (sorry), but please check her work out! As for the current poster, I've stolen that one from Sciamano240, please check him out also!]

In a world of plentiful magic, strange creatures, and heroic stories, it's easy to get lost in the wonders of the world and play pretend hero. What's not so easy is getting revenge once your town's been burned to the ground by mages much more powerful than you could imagine. A cult even the Crown has been struggling with. Luckily, there's a school class for that, and one of the members just so happens to be passing by. The power’s not free, though—but who wouldn't be willing to pay the price after watching the dying embers of their house fade?

In a world where the chosen one has defeated the demon lord and brought peace to the realm, now 500 years have passed since the demon's defeat. Aetheria, the world, appears peaceful, but is it truly so?

Did you ever wake up to the end of the world? No, seriously. Not the “oh no I left the stove on and now the apartment smells like death” kind of day. I’m talking real the end-of-the-world stuff. Screaming skies, gravity hiccupping like it’s drunk, your neighbor’s cat sprouting wings and declaring itself the harbinger of the Meat Singularity. No? Lucky you. Now imagine waking up to that again. And again. And again. To the point where you start ranking each apocalypse like a reality show. “Episode 88: Lava Sharks vs. Nano-Mormons.” “Episode 103: The Time Gravity Turned Inside-Out and Everyone Was Suddenly Left-Handed.” That one was weird. You know, it's like your dose of ordinary fever dreams. But daily. Something like that. That absurd, I mean. My name’s Rafael Vagathris. I’m a regressor. Which is a fancy way of saying I’ve died a lot, watched the world end a lot, and respawned more times than your average gamer rage-quitting Minecraft. Every time the world croaks, I get booted back to square one with a hangover, a sarcastic AI in my head, and the deeply comforting realization that I’m the only one who remembers any of it. So that’s cool. My helpful companion in this eternal Groundhog Day Armageddon is M.O.T.H.E.R.—the Modular Operational Time-Hop Emergency Regulator. Or as I like to call her, “Mo,” or “The Glitch Witch.” She’s technically here to help me stop the apocalypse. Probably. Realistically? She’s more interested in giving me daily randomized perks like “Your bones are now inflatable!” or “Congratulations, you are now mildly magnetic to forks.” She also assigns quests. Once, I was told to seduce a sentient vending machine. Another time? Defeat a goose armed with a rocket launcher. I'm still not sure who won that one. The goose definitely walked away. On fire. But confident. You’d think after all this time I’d have a plan. I don’t. Mostly, I just wing it with a mix of street smarts, recycled knowledge, and an unholy talent for bullshitting my way out of death. What’s different this time? Well… everything. The apocalypse looks wrong. The sky cracked sideways. The same people I usually save are in different places—or worse, alive when they should be dead. I mean, good for them, but creepy for me. Mo’s glitching harder than ever. The rules are changing. Maybe I did something wrong last run. Maybe I did something right. Maybe this time the apocalypse isn’t just something to survive—it’s something I caused. So yeah. New day. New reboot. Same cosmic disaster. And me? Still here. Still sarcastic. Still determined to fix this mess, or at least get a decent cup of coffee before we all implode again. And surely, finding some one I missed in every single loop. Welcome to the end of the world. Again. ***
