Hydrus Lestrange** is a transmigrator whose only ambition is to retire wealthy and lazy, far away from the coming wizarding war. Born with immense power, she spent eleven years channeling her magic away from her core to appear as a seemingly powerless **Squib**, planning to inherit the vast Lestrange fortune after the final conflict. Her retirement dream is shattered when the family servants, the Gray family, betray her and attempt murder to seize her inheritance. Forced to flee, Hydrus unleashes her true, terrifying potential: wielding lethal martial arts prowess and the unique ability to **mimic the magical constitutions of creatures she touches**. She embodies this power by transforming into a fire-breathing **Welsh Green Dragon-human hybrid**, initiating a brutal campaign of revenge against the Grays, earning her the shadow nickname, **"The Evil Dragon Hydrus"**. Seeking ultimate anonymity, Hydrus adopts the Muggle persona of **Audrey Astley** and, alongside her adopted brother Rick Astley, becomes a world-famous singing superstar whose magical voice captivates both worlds. Her perfect cover explodes five years later when her true power surfaces, resulting in an immediate Hogwarts acceptance letter at age sixteen. Now, she is trapped in the orbit of powerful forces: * **Dumbledore**, who sees her as a "kind and good child" capable of Ancient Magic. * The Ministry of Magic (led by Barty Crouch), who views her as a dangerous fugitive. * **Voldemort**, who recognizes her as his daughter and wants her back as his powerful weapon. Enrolled as a Fifth-Year Slytherin, Hydrus must study for her intensive O.W.L.s under her eccentric new private tutor, the notorious Dark Wizard **Gellert Grindelwald** (alias Gael Depp). **Can the reluctant dragon heir navigate Hogwarts, evade her powerful enemies, and still achieve her ultimate dream of a luxurious, lazy retirement?**

Title: The Heaven Defier Synopsis: In the year 2800, Earth is no longer a world of myths, but a masterpiece of cold, silent efficiency. High-level genetic engineering has replaced nature, and neural-links have replaced the human soul. To the Great Xu Clan, supreme rulers of the Village of Akar Rambutan, technology is everything. But for twelve-year-old Xu Zhaotian Lubis, technology is a golden prison. Born with a "stain" in his name the surname Lubis from a father who vanished like smoke Zhaotian is an anomaly. While his cousins modify combat drones and synchronize their brains with AI, Zhaotian hides in dusty libraries, obsessing over ancient physical books and the forgotten art of "breathing." His peers mock him as a "flesh-walker," a genius boy wasted on superstitions. They believe the era of internal energy is a dead myth, especially on Earth a planet where the spiritual energy (Qi) has been dry for millennia. However, a chance encounter with a mysterious wanderer reveals a chilling truth: Earth is a locked graveyard, but Mars still breathes. Driven by a hunger for the truth behind his father’s disappearance and the mysterious "code" hidden in his name, Zhaotian embarks on a journey that the modern world deems impossible. In a world of cold metal and glowing circuits, he will prove that even in a desert of Qi, a single spark can ignite the path to godhood. He is not just a scholar. He is not just a Lubis. He is the one who will look at the arrogant heavens of the year 2800 and refuse to kneel. [A Slow-Burn Science-Fantasy Cultivation Novel]

I’d been reading a Webnovel called The Dance of Power. It wasn’t a blockbuster hit, but it had a devoted fanbase — and the worldbuilding was interesting enough to keep me hooked. Flawed, sure, but filled with potential. Its biggest draw was its gimmick: An interactive system that lets readers submit their own character sheets to be added to the story. Naturally, I made one. Naturally… it got rejected. “Not unique enough.” “Doesn’t fit the plot.” “Try again next event.” I shrugged it off. It was just a character, after all. At least, until I opened my eyes — and found myself inside the world of The Dance of Power, inhabiting the very same character the author had turned down. A character who wasn’t meant to exist. A character with no place in the story. A flaw in the narrative. And in a universe built on power, politics, and brutal hierarchy… Being a mistake is the most dangerous thing you can be.

Cypriana Vance has everything a girl could want—popularity, cheer captain status, and a life everyone envies from the outside. But one night at a party, a single choice changes everything. After hooking up with the charming and steady Matt Garetty, Cypriana ends up discovering something impossible… a strange underground hole alongside Matt and the quiet, broken Andrew Detmer. They don’t just find something buried. They awaken something inside themselves. Telekinesis. Flight. Power beyond control. At first, it’s thrilling—freedom, adrenaline, and the kind of strength Cypriana never knew she craved. But as Andrew’s darkness begins to surface, and Matt pulls her toward the light, Cypriana is trapped between two worlds… And two boys. One who loves her. One who needs her. And one who might destroy everything. When Andrew finally becomes the villain no one saw coming… Cypriana will have to choose: Fall with him… or fight against him.

Years before the Great Intercontinental War of the 5 continents, the northern continent was shaken with destruction as the Oureas moutains were reshaped. Lavastreams, acid pools and vulconoes rose on the northern pole, all of them centered around Mount Oculus, which was viewed as the cause of the earthquake. Mount Oculus looked like an eye from the air with a small central peak in it’s centre and lava surrounding it. In it's centre, the space broke and a red glow appeared, growing larger and larger until a breaking sound was heard. The red glow broke open and revealed complete darkness inside. 256 years after the Great Intercontinental war, Rohan was out in the mountains when a shockwave went throughout the world, causing large shock and destruction in many places. But that was not the main cause of panic, what followed was a message appearing, "Initiating ?????????? ??????", causing more panic.

Kao Dao Ji is a mighty genius of the Kao Clan. A proud featherman born after the era of Spectral Soul, burning with ambition and the desire to take revenge on humanity! His journey begins with his ascension to immortality. Wait. Why is his Tribulation so strong? Oh. ... In an unexpected turn of events, a human from earth takes over, just the moment he dies. And? He becomes the Land Spirit. With such great powers that would have made him god back on earth, yet shackled in the same position, with no possibility of advancement, and trapped as an unfavored species. Just how will he be able to thrive? ... With the synopsis cleared: This is going to be a low-paced story, with not 'cheats' (well, there will be some things, that may qualify as such. But no, System, no Rank 9 Gu from the beginning or anything like that.) I also have no intention of writing romance, or at least not of the MC. Also, as stated before the story will begin after the era of Spectral Soul. So, do not expect to see Bai Ning Bing, Fang Yuan, etcetera. Still, while most of the characters are OC, I will try my best to give them relevance, perhaps too much. Anyway, I do not intend to profit from this, and I write this purely for fun, so I am not sure how consistently I will be able to put chapters, but I'll try to at least put one every 2 weeks. But that is the bare minimum, I intend to be a bit more consistent.

"Hmphff… I don’t really care about myself. I’ve always been the forgotten one. The useless one, basically just another side character. So if that’s the case, then I might as well use myself as a weapon, to protect humanity... The ones whose lives actually matter. Even if it means going all alone. I’ll massacre those pathetic creatures all by myself." — Hyzar Kage In one sudden night the world got consumed by terrifying zombies, starving for blood, a boy named Hyzar Kage seizes the chaos, using his sharp gaming instincts and knowledge to protect what remains of humanity. Not knowing that this war was never just against the moaning, skidding dead. It was against something far worse than these mindless monsters… There were more, the ones not merely starving for blood, but driven by something far deeper. A twisted sense of redemption against humanity… Through this war, Hyzar will be forced to endure emotions to their highest calibre like Betrayal. Love. Hate. Heartbreak. And above all else, suffering. A lot of suffering. A battle where he will lose everything.

The prologue promises: "I did not know then what would be taken from my son, or what he would become in the accounting that followed." The opening chapter delivers: a boy who doesn't know he's doomed, living in a world built on sacrifices he doesn't understand yet.

NOTE : We dive right into the action, and are assuming you've checked out the auxiliary volumes for the world building and lore. You can continue without it and it's just so you don't get lost on the terms ..... A thousand years have passed since the Variants first appeared from the Rifts. God answered the prayers of the human race and gave them a chance to fight back. He bestowed special marks called crests upon twelve who were worthy, granting them unfathomable power to fend off the wave of attacks. Well… that's what the church wants us to think. Man, being man, found a way. And in the present day, large numbers of the population have crests, and those that don't are treated as second-rate. This was the case with Marcus, who spent most of his life doing odd jobs—until one of those jobs led to his demise. At the hands of whom?? The son of a major crest-bearing house. Marcus is reincarnated into the body of his killer and soon finds that despite being from a major house, the boy did not have a crest. At least, not one that was bestowed upon him by God.
