martial artists arrive - total strangers, each carrying the weight of their style, philosophy, and pride. Twenty-four fighters. Twenty-four disciplines. One rule: respect above all.

From the flowing kicks of Sikaran to the precise strikes of Arnis, the spinning rhythms of Capoeira to the lethal efficiency of Krav Maga, each warrior embodies not just a fighting technique, but a way of life. Here, skill alone isn't enough. Only those grounded in balance, awareness, and humility will survive the trials ahead.

As rivalries ignite and philosophies clash, the island becomes a crucible for testing the limits of body and mind. Friendships will be forged, alliances shattered, and every warrior will discover that strength without respect is meaningless.

One Ground is the first volume of an epic martial arts saga - a cinematic, realistic, and deeply human story of combat, discipline, and the universal truth that transcends every style: every warrior stands. Only the grounded survive.All Rights Reserved

The Villain? No, That's Not Me. by KhAri0350

In a world where reality itself bends to the will of a lazy god, one boy moves in the shadows.. not for conquest, not for revenge, but for something far greater... personal pleasure. With the ability to manipulate, create, and control others with an unbreakable grip disguised as free will, our nameless protagonist has no grand ambitions. No desire for war. No thirst for destruction. All he wants... is an obedient, devoted harem in a world where chaos reigns. And yet, despite his best efforts to lay low, he's drawn the attention of Duke K'lone, the legendary Sword Saint, after effortlessly bending the duke's pride and joy, the Sword Princess Veronica, to his will, without her even realizing it. Now, the entire kingdom is on edge. Who is this mysterious boy? How did he defeat the princess without lifting a finger? And most importantly, why does he seem completely uninterested in power? As knights, nobles, and adventurers scramble to uncover his identity, he continues his game of control, deception, and absolute obedience. Because in his mind, he's not the villain. ...But the rest of the world isn't so sure. "I'm not trying to take over the world. I just want to enjoy my life." "Then why does everyone you meet end up completely devoted to you?" "...Coincidence?"

The Tides of Aeternum by aliffsen

In a school where magic is divided by discipline, one girl dares to cross the lines fate drew for her. Born of sea and land, Maris Thalor has never truly belonged to either. Pressured to follow in her healer mother's footsteps and enroll in the esteemed College of Vitalis and Warding Magic, Maris makes a different choice - one that stuns her family and reshapes her destiny. She joins the College of Warshaping and Aerial Command, where dragon riders and battlecasters forge weapons from fire and will. But as she learns to master her waterbound powers in the skies above the ancient spires of Academia Arcanum Aeternum, Maris begins to sense a darker current beneath the school's hallowed traditions. Students are disappearing. Forbidden spells echo through the halls. And the school's revered director hides a secret that could unravel the fabric of magic itself. Together with a diverse group of students - a necromancer bound to shadows, a potion prodigy with soft-spoken genius, an adventurous elemental, a law-bound scholar of divine magic, a brilliant illusionist, and a gentle healer named Kaori - Maris must uncover a sinister plot that threatens to sacrifice the students to demonic forces in the name of power. To save the academy, Maris must embrace every part of who she is - not what others want her to be. Because in this world, choice is the greatest magic of all.

Loner of the Vanguard by Paingamer2006

In a shocking twist of fate, an ordinary school is transported from the familiar world into a vibrant, fantastical kingdom brimming with magic and mythical creatures. Unbeknownst to the students and staff, this realm is plagued by an age-old menace: a powerful demon king bent on conquering the land and casting it into eternal darkness. Stripped of their routines and comforts, the bewildered group soon learns of their urgent mission: to aid the kingdom as its last line of defense. With courage and resilience, they must rise to the challenge, leaving behind the ordinary lives they once knew. In this world, a mystical system has awakened within each of them, bestowing the ability to unlock and harness hidden powers that reflect their unique potential. This system offers new paths to greatness, empowering them to forge alliances, master unfamiliar skills, and confront their deepest fears as they prepare to face the demon king's unrelenting forces. However, not all the students are blessed with equal opportunities or strength. One student, an unlikely hero among them, discovers he has been assigned a lower-tier class-a position with few benefits and even fewer options. Unlike his peers who wield swords, magic, or other mighty abilities, he finds himself restricted to a limited set of skills and weaponry, with only a shield at his disposal. Despite feeling the weight of these limitations, he becomes a symbol of determination and tenacity, relying on strategy, resourcefulness, and an unyielding will to prove that strength isn't always defined by power alone.

With each step, he grows stronger, his body tempered by endless struggle, his will forged in the fires of destiny. Yet, even strength alone will not be enough. Along his journey, Batogan will discover unlikely allies, form bonds unbreakable, and encounter love amidst the chaos. But as celestial threats loom and universes tremble, he must decide, will he remain a man driven by vengeance, or rise into something far greater? A saga of power, loyalty, love, and transcendence, Rise to Omniscient is the tale of one man's climb from tragedy to divinity and the battles that shape the fate of all existence.

System Call: Opehlion Protocol by Artikulo1

In a medieval world of Caelrevia where magic draws directly from the body, every spell consumes something vital; internal heat, bodily fluids, nutrients, vitamins; there is no mana, only life. Everyone is born with the ability to wield, but only the wealthy can afford to cast it. At the top of the arcane order sit the Administrators, bearers of the Ophelion Protocol; gold rings that exempt them from magic's cost and grant them control over time, towns, and the laws of casting itself. Beneath them, a rigid hierarchy governs access to resources, spellcasting rights, and even bodily autonomy. Magic is both power and punishment. The poor waste away trying to cast a single spell. The rich burn cities without breaking a sweat. Rebellion brews as the desperate Strains and broken Wicks seek to challenge a system built on consumption, but how do you fight gods when you starve every time you raise your hand? "Your body is the spellbook. Rip out every page."

The Chosen Nothing by Lady_Veil

Something has learned of her existence--and it hasn't taken its eyes off her. She doesn't know why. She doesn't know how. A sudden pulse behind her eyes. Shadows seem to hesitate where they shouldn't. The world feels slightly wrong--edges sharper, colours colder--as if something stands just beyond knowing. And she doesn't even notice a thing. Then a voice pulls her through a tear between worlds. Waking in a land of magic and entirely different rules, she'll come to learn that every spell has a system and every secret demands a price. Being already enroled in an academy of immense power, she must navigate mysteries surrounding her with new--and questionable--alliances. A presence of little significance, a mind full of doubt, a heart carefully guarded--but somehow, the key to everything. Emma was never meant to be found. But she is. Author's Note: What's up for readers! If you enjoy slow-burn stories with longer chapters, think story-rich, narrative-driven RPGs (e.g., Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact), this series is crafted for you. Patience is rewarded, and every moment is meant to deepen the journey. :)
