Divine, a beautiful village in the Lunar country, is known as the birthplace of God. The village's history is renowned worldwide, so on this day, people from all over the world come to the monastery to worship the three dragons, hoping for happiness and prosperity in their lives, as today is the Dragon Festival. On this day, all the villagers, including those who have come from other countries, are very happy. They greet the visitors with great joy. Together, the villagers have decorated the entire village. Both the villagers and the visitors are wearing traditional clothing. The backs of these garments feature images of the three dragons, hand-embroidered with silk threads, which are incredibly beautiful. Each person carries a wooden plate containing offerings for the dragons, covered with a white silk cloth. Little children, holding colorful paper dragons in their hands, are running rapidly up the monastery stairs. Their parents, perplexed, grab them and lift them up, only to find them thrashing around. Seeing their antics, their parents release them back down the stairs, causing them to run away, laughing again. "Hurry up, Mom," Seung and Yen say, looking at their mothers, who are walking along, talking to each other. Seung and Yen were both born in this village. Their parents are very good friends, and this is why they share a brotherly bond. After Yen's father joined the army, Yen lives with his parents in the city. While Seung lives with his parents in the village, Yen and his parents visit the village every year for the Dragon Festival. Yen has been ambitious since childhood, while Seung is the complete opposite. Both of their lives are going well together, until an accident happens to them or rather, like everyone else in this country that completely changes their lives. One night, fireballs suddenly rain down from the sky. Everyone lost a loved one that night, but the tragedy awakened long-held powers within certain individuals. This awakening sparked a war between Yen and Seung. A war that has raged for thousands of years between good and evil. Yen, in his quest for immortality, assembles a team of powerful individuals and kills his brotherly friend and countless others. Seung's son, Suan, along with his girlfriend, Aurora, and friends, avenges his father and all those who died against Yen and his companions.

The top one in a zombie shooting game was none other than BloodReign_666. Playing since the start of the game, he never once did things as a team, it was always just him, alone. Things changed when he made a friend by the name [ KillSwitch ], and they went into several zombie king raid boss instances together. He thought he'd be ready for anything, but when the world succumbed to a zombie outbreak, his confidence shattered. In reality he was just a scaredy cat. Immediately, to avoid more troubles, he applied to join a heavily fortified base, hoping to be protected by a strong person. The base's powerful leader, surprisingly turned out to be his only in-game friend.

After dying from cancer, Oliver Smith wakes up in the freezing Weather Hills of Middle-earth as Aldric, a minor Dúnedain noble with nothing but a rusted sword and a group of forty-six starving refugees. However, he isn't just a survivor—he is the host of the Kingdom Restoration System (KRS). In a land of fading magic and rising darkness, Aldric must use the system to rebuild the lost kingdom of Arnor from the ground up. From managing granaries and planting orchards to training a military capable of standing against the shadow, he must transform a band of desperate refugees into a continental power. The world thinks the age of Men is over, but with a system for civilization building, Aldric is about to prove them wrong. The System: Kingdom Restoration (KRS) Territory Management: Allows the MC to "claim" land. Once claimed, the system provides a map overlay showing resource nodes (ore, fertile soil) and structural integrity of ruins, making it easier to rebuild ancient bastions like Amon Hen-dîr. Population & Loyalty Tracking: A HUD that shows the exact number of followers, their health, and their loyalty levels. It calculates "Prosperity" and "Stability" scores, warning the MC of potential rebellions or starvation before they happen. Civilization Skill Trees: Points earned from quests can be invested into trees like Agriculture (increasing crop yields), Masonry (speeding up construction), or Military Reform (enhancing the combat stats of his soldiers). Quest & Reputation System: The system issues "Restoration Quests" that provide essential rewards for growth. It also tracks his reputation among other factions (Elves, Dwarves, Rohan), unlocking unique trade or diplomatic options as his fame grows.

After the creation of The Consortium, the gods and immortals established an order over the humans. Until their rule was challenged by one being, causing the creation of an order to stop such rogue immortals from ever causing such disorder. Solace just wants to understand what he is and find out his origin, but when this threatens the Consortium's agenda, will he go against their rules to discover what he is, or will he submit to their rule like the rest of the world?

In a world stitched together by forgotten gods and shattered seals, Rayon walks as the embodiment of quiet chaos — emotionless, ruthless, yet unshakably aware. Once abandoned, now ascended, he threads through fate with the same precision he uses to end it. To him, morality is a cage for the weak; purpose is the only truth worth bleeding for. Bound to Erethon — the Primordial of Insanity, and wielding the Black Resonance, Rayon seeks not salvation, but understanding — of creation, of ruin, and of himself. Every seal he breaks reshapes the balance of existence, every breath he takes bends destiny closer to his will. He is neither hero nor villain — he simply is. The Black Primordial, The Monarch Of The Endless Abyss. The man whose silence screams louder than gods.

What happens when a master miniature builder gets thrust into a monster apocalypse with a puppet-summoning skill? "Turn my miniatures into real soldiers. Duh!" Said Adam Clay, the Lord Commander of Earth, with a wide grin as he snapped with his fingers. Power Armored Supersoldiers, Walker Crafts, War Machines, Stellar Arks, and Legions of Men-at-Arms all appeared around him in hordes, chanting the holy name of the Emperor of the Solarium. But that's a scene from the endgame, and here's how it began... What to Expect? A Progression LitRPG with action scenes, political intrigue, humor, RTS mechanics, kingdom building, crafting, summoning, and a magic system that tightens it all up, coming from the author of the 760+ chapters long Dragonborn Saga. Inspired by WH40K’s energy, but its own beast entirely. (so not a fanfic) While it is so, you can say it is the watered-down version for those who aren't willing to dip their toes in the original madness. Where else to find this Gem?

The peace was a lie. The crown is a curse. The legend has returned. Four years of silence have ended in a scream. The golden era of the Island has been smothered by a new, dark reign—one fueled by ancient sorcery and a hunger for absolute control. The rightful leaders have been cast into shadows, the global accords are turning to ash, and the world’s citizens are falling under a spell of forced worship. But in the darkest hour, a ghost from the past has crossed the horizon. He was the architect of the old world, a man raised in the ice and forged in blood. He doesn't come with a plea for peace or a banner of truce. He comes with a cold, mechanical fury and an army that does not bleed, does not tire, and does not know the meaning of fear. As magic clashes with iron-willed strategy, the true cost of the throne is finally revealed. Brothers will face brothers, legacies will be burned to the ground, and the secret experiments of a hidden past will rise from the earth to reclaim the future. In the phase, there are no heroes—only survivors. • A Usurper who wields the power of the stars but fears the shadows. • A Fallen King who must find his strength behind iron bars. • A Shadow who has returned to finish what he started decades ago. The game is over. The real war begins now.

A Plant Master from a prosperous magical era died and reincarnated as a physically defective Sub-Beast on the Beastman Continent. Orphaned right after birth, he was raised by the entire tribe. Kaelen thought he would live a peaceful, uneventful life until the end of his days. Unexpectedly, during an instance where he accidentally wandered into a cave where a beastman was in a state of frenzy, he was violated by the beastman Sane. After that unintended night, neither of them liked the other, so they reached a secret agreement to keep the matter quiet. Sane took responsibility for providing Kaelen with daily necessities and various new seeds until one of them found a mate. Thanks to these supplies, Kaelen began using his Plant Master abilities from his past life to farm step by step, transforming the barren land around his house into a lush, little green farm. What Sane didn't expect was that the more he interacted with Kaelen, watching how quietly and gently Kaelen cared for each young sprout, the more adorable he found Kaelen to be. Sane grew to like being around Kaelen more and more, constantly reminiscing about the fresh scent of grass and vegetation lingering on Kaelen's body. Could it be... I've fallen for him? While Sane was still tangled up in his own feelings and had yet to realize that Kaelen's body was secretly gestating a little egg, Kaelen's bountiful magical harvests had already alerted the outside world. A whole bunch of stinky beastmen with formidable backgrounds began swarming around his soft, sweet-smelling darling to vie for Kaelen's attention. There was the incredibly arrogant Young Chief of the Lion Tribe, the fierce Intermediate Warrior of the High City, the Oracle of the Temple holding supreme authority... Sane: “...” Get lost, all of you! That's my son's Papa!

[Warning: Mature Content R-18, Smut, Yuri, Futanari] "To rule the world, he wanted to be a King. Fate decided he would be a Queen." "Keep your stance wide, grip the sword tight," Alex muttered to himself, trying to focus on the training dummy. As a fellow traveler from Earth, he dreamed of a powerful system, strength, domination, and standing at the top. But as a drop of sweat rolled down his chest, it didn't hit a flat, hard muscle. Instead, it slid down the valley between two soft, highly sensitive mounds of flesh that definitely hadn't been there a month ago. A thunderstorm in the Green Leaf Mountains changed everything. “Look at you,” a dark, purring voice echoed inside his mind, sending a deep shiver straight down to his toes. It was the Silver Serpent Empress, the ancient ghost who wants to occupy his body, but is now trapped inside his head. “Trying so hard to play the tough man’s act?” “We both know your little toy down there is shrinking, and your new body is just begging to be touched and used.” A cold, phantom hand traced the newly carved dip of Alex’s waist, sliding upward under his shirt to pinch a highly sensitive peak on his chest. Alex gasped, his back arching off the mattress as an intense, melting heat flooded his system. “Such a responsive body,” the Silver Serpent Empress purred, her ghostly body wrapping tightly around him. "Stop fighting it, my little vessel." “Let’s see how long you can hold it in,” she loves to push him into dirty, desperate situations. Alex trembled, clutching his chest where his nipples were throbbing painfully against his shirt. "I am a man! I won't be your toy!" As his mutation deepens, she will force him into intense, sweaty Yuri encounters. He finds himself pinned beneath powerful females, his girly body subjected to deep oral worship. He will be forced to endure endless milking to drain what little of his male pride remains, riding out mind-shattering orgasms that slowly rewrite his brain into a needy, desperate girl. Locked in a battle for his own body, Alex watches in horror as his rough male skin was peeling away, leaving him soft and ultra-sensitive. His waist was shrinking, his hips were widening, and worst of all, his body was constantly leaking a sweet, heavy scent. But the Empress made one fatal mistake: she gave him a weapon, the potent pheromone, and it drove every woman who breathed it into a blind, sloppy frenzy of lust. Alex refuses to just be her broken pet. If the Empress wants to turn him into a demonic enchantress, he will play the part to survive. Instead of hiding in fear, he starts to adapt. Alex must navigate a world where he is no longer the hunter but turning into the ultimate prize. Will the Empress successfully break his mind and turn him into a submissive toy, or will Alex master his new female body and use his irresistible allure to conquer the world? *Slow-Burn TF: A detailed transformation from a lean boy to a voluptuous, devastatingly sexy beauty. *Genre: Gender Bender (Male to Female), High Fantasy, Adult, System, Harem, Incest (Cousins), R-18, Mature, Yuri (After Transformation), Futanari, Domination/Submission.

"We cannot live in this world without love—even if it's plagued by ghosts. The explosive charge in my bullet is the will to survive." A heart-pounding sci-fi action saga of resistance, redemption, and the enduring love of those who refuse to surrender. Gantsuke, a battle-hardened ex-mercenary, didn’t ask for a second chance. He came to planet Ether hoping for peace. What he got instead… was hell. Mutated zombies, drug cartels, underground human trafficking, and mysterious beings from beyond the stars—every faction wants control, and every corner of the city hides a secret that could kill him. He’s not a hero. He doesn’t want to be. But when survival depends on the bullet in your gun, hesitation equals death. Surrounded by death, haunted by war, and entangled with women whose fates are as twisted as his past, Gantsuke must fight to protect the last sparks of humanity—starting with himself. In this war-torn world, the dead walk, trust is poison, and desire may be the only thing keeping a man alive.

What should I do if I transform into a passerby NPC in the Novice Village who may die at any time? At first, Lily just wanted to survive and increase the player's favorability. She planned to use the power of the players to increase the strength of the NPCs who were not on good terms with her. Unexpectedly, she accidentally increased the favorability. From [the player's most solid backing] to [the lonely watcher at the border], and then to [the first saint in the turbid times of the empire]. Players give full play to their subjective initiative and lift her to the throne. In the 30th millennium of the empire, a former emperor of the empire who did not want to be named loudly accused in an interview with a newspaper. "That group of undead people rushed into the palace shouting friendship and bond, and forcibly put my crown on the head of Lily, the devil. It's really a sin!" Facing the accusation, Lily was extremely indignant. "How can I be a devil? From the beginning to the end, I have been promoting love and justice. Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open... It's hard for me too. Sometimes I look for my own reasons. Have I been a good person for so many years? Why do those undead people only hit you and not me?"

Ryo Kenzaki was good at being invisible. Just another high schooler, keeping his head down and waiting for each day to end. Then a star fell from the sky. When Ryo pulls a dying woman from the crater it leaves behind, he learns the world he knows is already breaking. Beyond it lies the Hunting Realm—a place where monsters are born from fallen Hunters, and something is beginning to push through. Hunted by a creature he cannot understand, Ryo is dragged to a sanctuary between worlds and forced into a choice that was never really his: take up a Kizugami, a living blade forged from wounds, or die before dawn. But the blade doesn’t obey. It judges. As the weapon begins to search his soul, Ryo is pulled into a war he never asked to join—one shadowed by an impossible Eye in the sky, a relentless Kaimon on his trail, and an ending that may already have been decided. Ryo never wanted to be a Hunter. But if becoming one is the only way to protect what remains, he’ll have to answer a far more dangerous question: When the world strips everything from him, can he still stand as himself once more?

Audrey had the face of the crown princess, and she was determined to be one. It was easy, as no one could challenge her in the crown princess selection. But, all her dreams came clashing when the rejected prince claimed her as his. Her throat hitched as the stranger walked towards her. Her gaze moved slowly to take in his outfit; it couldn’t be what she imagined. He couldn’t be royal. He was just a commoner she had met at the palace a day before. She shook her head slowly. The stranger wore a smirk on his lips, glad to have caught her unaware. She stood still confused by what was happening, and finding it hard to believe the truth. He stopped in front of her, while she cocked her head ready to question his sanity for disrupting a wedding when she felt his lips on hers.

After Sirius Black’s death, Harry inherits the wealth, properties, and hidden knowledge of House Black, along with a blood-adoption potion that makes him Sirius’s son and awakens the family’s ancient Grimm inheritance. The Black magic consumes the Horcrux in Harry’s scar, strengthening his soul and leaving behind fragments of Voldemort’s memories—enough for Harry to understand what was done to him and suspect that Dumbledore knew far more than he admitted.

At thirty-three, he finally settles in Portland, intending only to observe and live quietly—just as another Grimm begins to awaken. (I use GPT for editing)
