The Shadow Ledger: Confessions of an Arms Dealer

This is a fan translation of 限制级死神 The original author is 易安z Please support them! === Nobu likes to think of himself as a decent, respectable guy.The problem? He’s stuck with a rather indecent favorability system. Gain someone’s affection, and you get stronger? “So if anyone’s being promiscuous here, it’s not me—it’s all of you who can’t resist temptation!” That was Nobu’s rebuttal when confronted by a resentful woman.

Previously, it was called Reincarnated as a Supernatural Horror Entity. Jack, a content creator for mystery, horror, and conspiracy stories, died and was reborn as a formless ghost. He acquired the system-panel like ability to get stronger. He could earn new supernatural traits. And he could even evolve and gain new incarnations. The problem was... he was now in an alternate Earth. The one that was still in the Industrial Revolution Era. The one with cursed steam engines, monster-infested sea exploration, mysterious pirates, supernatural powers, mythical creatures, demonic entities, and completely different geography. Jack had to adapt and survive. Thus, the legends of the Circle of Jacks appeared in that world. Transcendent incarnations of Jack made their impacts in this new world... o Jack Mystery, the mysterious specter, o Judge Jack, the rakshasa of judgement, o Jack Night, the steamrune engineer and treasure hunter, o Racer Jack, the kamaitachi speedster vigilante, and o Jack Lantern, the devil puppet who decided to be a bizarre puppeteer.

In this world where dungeons and monsters invaded, only awakeners could enter the gates, clear dungeons and save humanity. Lucien Valerius transmigrated into this new world— as an ordinary landlord owning a tiny, tattered house. Oh, plus an arrogant teen tenant. But so what? As long as the rent money was there, even if the world ended, Lucien doesn't care! Until a gate opened in front of his house and monsters broke out. His beloved house was about to be gnawed bare. And his tenant didn't pay rent. All hell broke loose. Lucien awakened on the spot! DING! [You have awakened as a Dungeon Landlord (Myth)] Instead of becoming a hunter— his house became a dungeon. Every night, his house was dragged to the Death Zone full of wild dungeons and monsters. The only way to survive? Evolve his house— no, his dungeon. DING! [Dungeon successfully acquired] While others raid dungeons, Lucien acquired them, adding more dungeons to his territory. DING! [Synthesize is available!] Combine two dungeons, create a new one with brand new monsters and resources! DING! [You have signed a new tenant: ??

Let the hunters in. DING! [Dungeon raid will start in 3...2...1...]

After falling from another world, Kaelira survived. She rose, adapted, and reached the peak of power in a land ruled by creatures of elemental force—Pokémon that could reshape earth, sky, and sea. And when she finally had everything within reach… She walked away. She retreats to the Shattered Frontier, a place abandoned by nations where reality fractures and wild Pokémon turn the land into something unlivable. There, she builds something small. Quiet. A ranch. Over time, others arrive—wanderers, survivors, and exiles from distant lands and rival factions. Some come seeking refuge. Others come to watch her. All of them begin to realize the same unsettling truth: The ranch is not merely safe. It is controlled. Water does not flood. Land does not crumble. Even chaos seems to hesitate at its borders. And at the center of it all stands Kaelira—not as a ruler, nor a guardian—but as something far more dangerous: The one who decides what is allowed. And if that control ever falters— —or expands— it may not just reshape the Frontier… …but determine the fate of every world still connected to it.

Transmigrated as the Saiyan Turles, he was originally destined to be a minor villain. However, everything changed when he awakened the "Attribute Collection System." By scavenging stats and drops from Goku and Vegeta on the battlefield, he rose from the Battle of Earth to dominate parallel universes including GT, Super, and AF. With the integration of multiple systems like "Deep Blue Stat Point Allocation" and "Per-Second Passive Growth," Turles eventually ascends to the rank of Grand Chrono-Official. Now standing far above the Grand Priests and King-tier deities, the so-called "God-Kings" of other planes are nothing but ants to be crushed at his whim.

What happens to someone who has lost everything? What becomes of a man who lost his family and was denied justice by those in power? “The law failed me, so I will become my own justice.” Those words marked the beginning of Francis’s vigilante life. It was a path soaked in blood, where justice and insanity slowly blurred into one. When his revenge was complete, he welcomed death—ready for it all to end. Fate, however, denied him peace. [Record achieved: Highest number of direct kills in your world.] [You have fulfilled the requirements to claim the SUPREME PARASITE SYSTEM.] [Mission: Evolve into a Category 10 Beast within one year.] [Reward: ×3 Revival Vials – can resurrect anyone of your bloodline.] His eyes snapped open, his mind drowning in memories of his lost family. “I’ll bring you all back… no matter what.”

What is science? Science is the methodical pursuit of knowledge through observation, experimentation, and reasoning, bridging the gap between theory and reality, and connecting the present to future aspirations. Science is a process of constantly negating itself, constantly proving itself, and constantly advancing. The Magic Gods in Toaruverse, the Gods and Demons in Little Garden, the Ixseed in No Game No Life, the Heroic Spirits in the Nasuverse... Everything from the past awaits overturning by the future; so-called definitions forever await new truths. This is the story of someone transmigrated to Academy City, becoming a scientist and Level 5 esper, who through endless "calculations" ascends to become the Science God. “When all processes are completed, the predetermined result will naturally arrive."

"Take me instead." Three words. Guinevere Lunaris trades herself and saves 300 lives. Tied. Gagged. Underestimated by a mile. They chain her to a tree in the snow. Mistake. While running for her life, she meets a stranger in the dark and tells him to hide so he isn’t killed. Twelve hours later, he walks into her father's hall wearing a crown. The man she just told to hide in a hole is Maddox Drakencrest, High King of Velkaris. Ruler of an entire continent. Maddox hears his dragon say ‘mate’ right away. But her wolf is silent. More and more Alpha Kings enter the hall. She catches the tail end of her father’s toast and chokes on her wine. "—leave here with a virgin bride." An auction for her hand turns into a full-out bidding war. Maddox wins. 750 million in gold, three dragon fleets, and an urn full of the bastard who chained her the day before. Every force in Velkaris is betting against a wolf on a dragon throne. The Elders say the queen must be a dragon rider, which is impossible for a woman without dragon blood. The king's half-brother agrees with them, but his solution is a civil war and taking the crown for himself. If his brother’s rebellion wins, Maddox dies and she belongs to him. If the elders win, she goes back to the father who sold her. Neither is happening. Her wolf calls Velkaris home. She's not giving it up. They expect Guinevere to behave like a good little wolf princess and play along with their political games. She says bet.

After her death, Lilith awakens in a world where fourteen billion players struggle for survival, power, and the right to continue existing. Over Ten million of them have become Demon Lords, each building their own race, their own territory, and their own army. Demonic Dragon Knights command vast legions, Vampires rise to build empires, and Lords of Catastrophe leave nothing but ruin in their wake. Yet Lilith enters this world as the Primordial Succubus Monarch - and quickly realizes she cannot walk the same path as the others. Instead of endless armies, she is given only three succubi, each unique in their own way, and the system permanently seals her ability to summon more. In a world where power is measured in numbers, such a gift feels more like a death sentence than a blessing. If she wants to conquer this world, she will have to take armies from other Demon Lords, grow stronger despite her limitations, and prove that a demon of desire is not meant only to seduce - but to fight. And above them all stand the Heroes… beings created for one purpose alone. To hunt and kill Demon Lords like her. And Lilith would soon realize… that neither Heroes nor Demon Lords were the true predators of this world. *** You can support me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/TorqQ
