Path of the Radiance: Journeying Against the Realms

When Lin Yaochen opened his 18th birthday present, filled with joy and anticipation, he stared in disbelief at a battered old compass. “This is my birthday gift? You’ve got to be kidding me!” he protested, convinced his parents were playing a prank on him. “This is no joke. It’s the Yao Disc. It can help you find the Five Yao Bearers,” his mother said. What was even more outrageous was that his father claimed they were superpowered beings from another world—and that Yaochen himself was burdened with the mission of seeking the Five Yao and restoring order to the Yao Realm. “Ha! That’s more ridiculous than a street juggling act. You really expect me to believe that?” But when his father tore open a rift in the air and shoved him straight into the Yao Realm, Yaochen was completely stunned. Before he could process what had happened, a voice called out to him. The speaker was none other than the family’s black dog—Mozi—the one that never seemed to age. “This has to be because I got out of bed the wrong way today… There’s no way this is real,” he muttered in disbelief. “Young master, welcome to your Journey of Seeking the Yao. I am your guide spirit beast—Mozi.” “What kind of century-long joke is this?! Why should I run around with this broken compass looking for people? I want to go home!” he shouted in frustration. “Oh, that won’t be possible,” Mozi replied cheerfully. “You can only return after you’ve found all Five Yao Bearers. So please do take this quest seriously!”

The Kingmaker System

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

The Culinary Heiress: My Necklace Connects to the Modern World

Megrie is one of the world’s top chefs in the modern age. A successful entrepreneur with a chain of restaurants, she is a woman who controls both her career and her life. Then one day, without warning— she is transported to another world. A world where fatness is considered beauty. There, she bears the same name: Megrie. But the life she inherits could not be more different. Once the beloved daughter of a city lord, this Megrie lost everything after her father died of a mysterious illness. Her stepmother and step-siblings seized her status, stripped her of dignity, and reduced her to a servant. She was denied proper food, worked relentlessly, and slowly starved. The pampered noble girl died of hunger. And so— the modern chef Megrie awakens in a dead girl’s body. Hunger becomes her first battle in this new world. To survive, she sneaks out of the castle and breaks into a house in town, desperate for a kitchen where she can cook a single bowl of hot noodle soup. She is discovered by the three men who live there. Between being turned in and staying alive, a deal is struck— she will cook their dinners, and they will keep her secret. She believes this is the beginning. She is wrong. The silver necklace she wears holds an impossible power— it allows her to access her modern-world kitchen. Ovens. Mixers. Fermentation chambers. Using techniques unknown to this world, she conquers its palate and unsettles its people. Potatoes, flour, soup, bread— ordinary ingredients, transformed into dishes that quietly change destinies. But just as she begins to carve out a new path for herself, the shadows close in. Her stepmother’s long-hidden schemes surface. The truth behind the city lord’s death grows more sinister. And the emotions entwining those around her are no longer simple acts of protection or exchange. This is not merely a story about food in another world. It is the story of a grown woman— armed with experience, resolve, and choice— who navigates腐ted power and tangled emotions, and slowly, deliberately, reclaims ownership of her life.

System Rewrite: I Swapped Places With SSS Rank Hero

Prince Malik was one step away from his ultimate ambition. He had poisoned the politics of his kingdom, secured the loyalty of the army, and was seconds away from overthrowing his brother to seize the throne. He was a master schemer, a ruthless tyrant in the making, and he was finally going to win. But the moment he opened the doors to the Throne Room, he didn't find his crown. He found a battlefield. Transmigrated into the final battle of another world, Malik wakes up in the body of "Nebras"—the legendary, Awaited Hero destined to save the world from the tyranny of the Supreme Lord. There’s just one problem: Malik is no hero. He is an anti-hero who believes the weak should be ruled by iron and fire. He got killed brutally as he doesn't even know how to use the hero's powers, and to face the greatest villain in such a condition! Death is destined. Now, trapped in a future where the "Hero" Nebras has been dead for a century, Malik is resurrected by a desperate resistance. He is surrounded by the last descendants of "Nebras" and his comrads, a beautiful princess who calls him "Grandfather," and a suspicious Vizier who watches his every move. Worse yet, the Supreme Lord—an entity so terrifying that he killed him before—is still ruling the world. Forced to play the role of the messiah to survive, Malik must use his ruthless cunning and manipulative nature to lead a rebellion he doesn't believe in. But can another tyrant save the world? Or will he end up becoming a greater tyrant than the one he was summoned to destroy? "I don't care about your freedom. I just want to survive and find a way back to my throne. But if I have to conquer this world to do it... so be it."
