New Web Novels

Doreagh Mhoran was the best duelist the Circle of Vows ever crowned — until the day her own marriage-bond went wrong, and she should have died breaking it. She didn't. Twelve years and a stolen name later, she trains other people's champions instead of becoming one, hiding a ruined sword hand and a truth that would end her the moment anyone looked closely enough.

Then Sorlagh Bhannoch walks into her practice yard: faster, hungrier, and utterly unafraid of the blade — with ten days to win a fighting license before her family bonds her to a stranger to settle an old debt. Coaching her is the only way to keep them both safe. It's also the fastest way to be seen.

Because this year, for the first time in a decade, the Crown is watching the Circle's trials in person — and its new Warrant has a very specific rumor to chase: someone broke a completed marriage-bond and lived. He doesn't know her name yet. He's about to learn everything else.

In a court where marriages are treaties and magic enforces every vow, one duel can end a war, seal a fate, or unravel a secret twelve years buried. Doreagh has one apprentice, one ruined hand, and about eight days left to decide whether hiding was ever really keeping her safe at all.

Oona Keltasen makes her living moving stolen goods beneath the frozen canals of Veistola, strictly refusing to transport weapons or human cargo. When she sabotages a run that violates her one rule, she accidentally intercepts an asset meant for the city’s collapsing syndicate. Instead of finding a buyer, she is brought before its new head, Taisto Härminen. Taisto has just received an inheritance nobody wanted: a crumbling criminal empire under siege from rival families and a legitimate shipping front that desperately needs a spouse to secure its vulnerable voting board. Instead of killing Oona, Taisto corners her into a marriage of survival, locking her inside his heavily fortified estate. Now Oona is trapped in a house surrounded by enemies, bound to a man whose obsession with her is as dangerous as the assassins at his gates. To survive the siege, she must use all her smuggling instincts to repel the threats outside, all while negotiating a deadly attraction to the captor who refuses to let her go.

A thief who only steals to return what was lost is snowed in at a mountain sanctuary with her sworn enemy, a ruthless enforcer. They are bound together by an inheritance nobody wants, a deadly legacy that can only be unlocked if they endure the winter and each other. As the snow deepens, the line between hatred and dangerous attraction thins, but the past is hunting them both.

Nneoma works the night shift at Odimene General Hospital, a sprawling, hidden facility where the day staff files away injuries they cannot explain, and the night staff deals with the monsters who caused them. As a Scavenger, Nneoma can touch any broken object and see exactly what it used to be. She uses this skill to scrape together a living, hiding from a supernatural debt she inherited. But when Kameke—a lethal debt collector for the hidden ward bosses—comes to collect a price that cannot be paid in money, Nneoma is forced onto a deadly transport route through the hospital's deepest, most dangerous stations. Bound together by an undeniable mate-bond that neither wants, they must survive a journey where the medicine is worse than the sickness, and the debt demands a piece of a soul.

Kemo was hired to do a simple job: keep the fragile, brilliant researcher Duli alive through a six-month winter deployment at a remote, snow-buried station. But when the long-wave radio goes dead and the blast doors lock from the outside, Kemo realizes murder isn't the real threat. Someone in the base is orchestrating a slow, methodical heist to collect a debt that cannot be paid in money—a debt Duli didn't even know she owed. As the suspect list shrinks and paranoia mounts, Kemo must use his superior tactical mind to assemble a counter-crew from the terrified remaining staff. He has to out-plan the thieves in the cold, navigate a shifting web of betrayals, and execute a counter-heist before the winter swallows them all.

The System isn't a god. It's a bleeding, broken piece of code left to rot in the ruins of an old empire, and right now, it’s scheduling the entire city for a catastrophic purge.

Sayruqa doesn't have a flashy combat class or an over-tuned stat sheet. In a crumbling metropolis where everyone else relies on brute-force System menus to survive, he’s a Knot-Crafter—an interpreter of physical string-data that modern users dismiss as illiterate superstition. But when a fourteen-day countdown to a zone-wide incineration sparks to life in the sky, brute force isn't going to cut it.

To survive the impending collapse, Sayruqa has to drag his archaic craft out of the shadows. He’ll need to physically break the city's ancient ciphers, hijack permissions from heavily augmented enforcers, and level up not by grinding monsters, but by finding the lethal backdoors the original architects left behind. It’s a race against a ticking clock to claim the foundational tiers of a broken world, before the System inevitably crashes with him still inside it.

Beatriz Soriano is a university bookkeeper with a dangerous quirk: she is terrible at lying, but she can read people's souls and secrets like balanced ledgers. In the college town of Osorio, funded by a massive haunted endowment, ghosts and magic are currency. When Beatriz is unknowingly drafted into a supernatural proxy war, she finds herself physically and fundamentally mirrored against Valentin Montoya—a dangerously capable enforcer fighting for the opposition. As they exchange blows and uncover secrets in alternating turns, both realize they are fighting a war where neither side knows who actually pays their wages. To survive the unseen masters of the endowment, the human ledger and the rival proxy must calculate the true cost of their survival, risking the very souls they guard.

Vigdis once swore an oath she could never keep, and the border town of Skarstad paid the price in blood. To the locals, Skarstad is just a quiet logging community where the fog rolls in thick from the North Sea. But Vigdis, a healer marked by a broken vow, knows the town sits on a metaphysical fault line, a crossing point between the mundane and something far older. When a wounded outsider washes up with impossible injuries—and carrying knowledge of a threat the town has blindly ignored for a generation—Vigdis must decide whether to bandage him and look away, or break the uneasy truce keeping her safe. Forced into an alliance with a protector whose kind she once betrayed, she must drag an unwilling town back into a war against the supernatural. The only problem is the pull between her and the outsider—a pull that demands a truth she is terrified to face, and a sacrifice she has already refused to make once before.

Auden Rourke is a localized healer struggling to survive in a metropolis on the brink. When a sudden, system-enacted catastrophe obliterates his district and claims the life of Mavis—the one person he swore an oath to protect—Auden is fundamentally transformed. Reawakening to a harsh new LitRPG reality, he discovers that death is no longer the end, but a transaction: every respawn strips away a piece of his memory. Bound by his final promise to Mavis and haunted by a profound failure in his past, Auden refuses to stall. Forced to navigate a collapsed, brutal urban wasteland where rival survivors hoard territory, he must creatively weaponize his healing abilities to turn exhaustion and recovery into lethal tools. With every dangerous confrontation and calculated death, he trades his own history for the power to forge a safe haven. But as the system’s memory toll chips away at who he is, Auden must race to fulfill his broken oath before he forgets why he ever cared in the first place.

At the apex of a lethal rivalry between two magical academies, a field medic without an aggressive spell to her name forces a precarious survival. For a century, the Academia de Ouro and the Instituto del Cobre have bred combatants destined to destroy each other, but this year, a mandated exchange forces their students into the same halls. Catalina has never leveled an opponent in a duel, but she has never let a patient bleed out on the floor, either. When she finds herself permanently bound in an enforcement pact with the deadly star of the rival academy, her only mandate is to keep him breathing—and keep herself from becoming collateral damage. But in halls where every glance is calculated and a medic's tools can be turned against her, staying neutral becomes the deadliest game of all.

Tomiya survives the ash-choked ruins of her clan's territory by reading the history of broken things. When a blood-feud between her people and the rival Mokude clan threatens to wipe both out, the elders force a ceasefire through a volatile marriage. Tomiya is offered as the bride to Sashiro, the Mokude's ruthless heir. Confined within the failing walls of the Kashiro compound—a neutral fortress meant to keep them safe, but which instead locks them in with armed retainers from both sides—Tomiya must navigate a deadly new life. She isn't there for peace. She's there to keep a promise to the brother who died in the feud: to find the hidden cache of Mokude arms stashed within the compound and bleed them dry. But Sashiro is watching her every move, and survival means drawing dangerously close to the enemy.

Gáborz Rujasy is a low-tier courier whose body is failing. Born with a severe heart condition in a world governed by a glitch-prone, severely underfunded LitRPG System, he runs on borrowed time to deliver missives across decaying districts. When a catastrophic processing error results in the death of the only person he swore to protect, Gáborz is violently reset to the start of a grueling three-day delivery route—with his perfect memory intact. Trapped in a localized temporal loop caused by the System's own latency, he must exploit clerical errors, delayed consequence rendering, and bureaucratic blind spots. He doesn't need to overpower the administrators of reality; he just has to file the right exceptions before his heart gives out completely, turning the System's flaws into a lifeline.

In the Graafenhuis Circuit, blood is cheap but statistics are sacred. Every fighter's strength, agility, and stamina are public knowledge, projected for the crowds and the betting syndicates. Joost de Klerk is an archivist, charged with maintaining the immaculate ledgers of the dead. He believes that people are temporary, but records are eternal. When his closest associate is killed in a match that defies statistical probability, Joost discovers a hidden variable in the Circuit's perfect system. Bound by a promise to uncover the truth, he signs the wager contract himself, trading his archivist robes for the arena sand. Armed with nothing but an obsessive memory for historical fight patterns and a starting build everyone dismisses as a joke, Joost must outthink an ecosystem designed to bleed its competitors dry.

The gates of Yukisa, the hidden Winter Court, only open to the outside world once every generation. Miya is a sharp-eyed bookkeeper who reads human debts, obligations, and lies as glowing ledger lines—a gift balanced by her absolute inability to lie. When her sister and mentor Hisa goes missing inside the frost-locked gates, Miya must secure a rare entry token to pull her out before the court seals for another thirty years. Inside is Sano, a high-ranking enforcer bound by the court's rigid laws, tasked with hunting down infiltrators. As Miya navigates a deadly rescue that exacts a heavier toll with every step, Sano follows her trail of exposed secrets and disrupted debts. Separated by the court’s vast rings but linked by the chaos Miya leaves behind, the two are solitary strategists on a collision course—living ledgers in a court that demands to be paid in blood.

Bramund has always been the one making the deals, arranging the contracts, and smoothing the paths for cultivators in the cutthroat tournament city of Vengskyr. He had the brains, but they had the power. When his sister Eirund is seized as collateral by the upper strata of the decennial fighting syndicate, words are no longer enough. To climb the brutal ranks of a city that literally tears itself down and rebuilds its walls every ten years, Bramund needs leverage. He strikes a deadly bargain with Varnsk, a disgraced and exiled master, to learn the forbidden arts of Strand-binding. But Varnsk’s training is a gauntlet of lethal trials designed to hollow out the apprentice's humanity. Now, Bramund must negotiate with his own breaking point, weaponizing his sharp mind alongside his newly forged martial prowess. Every tier he ascends brings him closer to Eirund, but the price of power threatens to make him indistinguishable from the monsters he is fighting to tear down.

A LitRPG progression fantasy where the System turns on material transformation, logistics, and supply chains—not combat. Unjustly condemned by a network that feeds on prison labor, a negotiator who has lived their life without leverage wakes in a penal foundry to discover a broken crafting class. Through precise manipulation of raw materials and the complex ledger of debts that binds the condemned, they must forge a working pathway out. As they advance, three other viewpoints—a logistics runner, a debt-collector, and an appraiser—intersect, their distinct survival strategies weaving into one fight against the corrupt monopoly that benefits from the wrongful convictions. With zero combat power, every victory demands negotiation, tactical crafting, and flipping the system’s own supply chains against it.

The Sema debris field is a goldmine of dead warships, provided you follow the law: all biological matter found aboard unregistered salvage must be purged to prevent contagion. It’s a clean cycle, saving the system from plague, but it condemns thousands of refugees hiding in the scrap. Kelu thought smuggling was just about dodging taxes on fusion cores, until his crew hooks a dreadnought packed with living, breathing contraband. Now, trapped between a sterile bureaucracy and the cold vacuum, Kelu must out-engineer the automated system to save lives that legally don't exist.

Seventy-two hours. That is all the time remaining on the clock when a routine witness relocation in the isolated, snow-choked county of Krasnograd shatters. Bodyguard Viktor Volkov, a man whose tactical brilliance is matched only by his absolute pragmatism, finds himself trapped behind closed borders with a protectee who knows just enough to get them both killed, and an elite kill squad closing in. The only institution that can extract them is the regional Directorate—a corrupt, rusted bureaucratic machine that is functionally the sole barrier against complete societal collapse in the region. To survive the countdown and secure his charge, Volkov must outmaneuver the assassins hunting him while manipulating the very machinery of the Directorate that wants the witness buried. In a county where the cold is lethal and trust is nonexistent, every hour costs blood, every decision narrows his options, and Volkov is the only one who sees the board clearly enough to win.

Isla hears the things people think they said in private. It makes her a very good translator, and an impossible person to lie to. But when the lease on her beloved bookstore is set to expire in exactly forty-five days, being an excellent listener isn’t enough. The developer tearing down the block, Lorcán MacAoidh, is relentlessly polite, devastatingly effective, and hiding a countdown of his own—a condition that means he cannot afford to wait. What starts as a desperate negotiation over brick and mortar turns into a race against the clock. As the days tick down on chapter headers, Isla must use her gift to find leverage against him, only to discover that the secrets he doesn't speak are the ones that could destroy them both.

Twice a day, the tide recedes to reveal the drowned ruins of a lost empire. Below the waterline sit glass bottles filled with captive storms, fog banks, and sheer heat, waiting to be claimed. Scavenging them is a race against the incoming sea.

Nineteen-year-old Elias Crane plies this desperate trade with a bad leg and no crew, dodging the monopoly of the major salvage companies. But the ancient registry that rules the coast still functions, binding every diver who opens a live weather bottle. When Elias cracks his first, he receives a rare, misunderstood class: Pressure Reader. While other Scavengers pursue raw stats and brute-force skills to crack the glass, Elias can see the volatile forces tearing at the edges of the stable bottles. By manipulating those internal pressures with careful build choices, he discovers an entirely different way to play the registry's game.

With a superstitious pilot at his back and a retired registry clerk helping him untangle edge-case rules, Elias sets out to break the coastal monopoly. To survive, he doesn't just need a bigger blade—he needs to see the cracks in the world before the tide comes back in.
