Once a scientist pursuing green energy and humanity's wellness, Ernest reincarnated in a Sword&Magic world as a baby. But his passion followed him in the form of a SSS Skill : Recycle

(Daily life, transmigration. The protagonist has the superpowers and appearance of Saiki Kusuo, but he is not completely Saiki Kusuo—this setup feels more relatable.) Due to a small accident, he transmigrated to another world and inherited the Saiki Kusuo template in a somewhat well-off family, discovering that he possessed superpowers. From the initial excitement, it gradually faded away. Later on, he just wanted to live a normal daily life, but unfortunately... Shiina Mahiru: "Saiki-kun is really such a gentle person." Kubo-san: "Saiki-kun is indeed very interesting." Shikimori Miyako: "Right after the school year started, you saw this side of me. I originally wanted to become a very gentle person." Kitagawa Marin: "Whoa, I didn't expect Saiki to like cosplay that much too!" Shiraishi Junta: "Saiki-kun is the only one who notices me every single time, and he's so nice to me." Izumi Yuu: "For some reason, being around Saiki-kun always gives me this strong sense of security." Saiki Kusuo helplessly shook his head. [Yare yare, what a hassle... but even so, daily life has to go on.] (The Angel Next Door, Shikimori-san, My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected, Himouto! Umaru-chan...)

“Director Matou, the magical effects in your fantasy film looked incredibly realistic! How did you pull them off?” “They were real magic,” Shinji replied without missing a beat. “Director Matou, your historical drama was praised for its uncanny accuracy. How did you manage that?” “I had direct consultation from the people who lived in that era.” “Director, in your tokusatsu films, why does the Ultraman-like hero always use Bajiquan in combat?” “Well, that’s because the actor playing him is none other than the founder of Bajiquan himself.” “Director Matou, why do the female leads in all your films look so… similar? Especially all those Arturia actresses with the same name and face?” “That, my friend, is a long story. And it all begins with a certain mushroom-headed man—” “......” . . . . . Shinji Matou. A prodigious talent in the world of film, a renegade magi who defied the orthodoxy of the Clock Tower, and an eccentric summoner who had long since stopped pretending to get along with his own Servant. A director who blended modern cinema with ancient magecraft. A magus who saw the silver screen as a new kind of reality marble. He stood boldly before a press conference filled with journalists, film critics, and confused magi alike. “I am the greatest Master among Directors—and the greatest Director among Masters!” He declared it like a line straight out of his own movie, with all the pomp and confidence of a man who had rewritten the rules of both cinema and sorcery. The hall fell into an awkward silence. And then, in perfect unison, a thunderous cry echoed from behind the curtains— “SHUT UP AND GET LOST!” ×N A chorus of exasperated Servants, all fed up with his antics. Shinji didn’t flinch. He simply smirked, adjusted his director’s beret, and turned back to the flashing cameras. "Good! Now let’s roll the cameras! Scene one—reality itself."

Stolen at birth and crushed beneath her step-family's cruelty, Raven awakens on her seventeenth birthday to memories spanning ninety-nine lifetimes—and this time, she plans to change everything. Once called Mara Brenner, a forgotten girl hidden in a servant's robes, she now remembers every betrayal, every death, every moment of suffering across nearly a century of lives. In each existence, she endured enslavement, loss, and the tragic death of her child. But death was never her ending—it was her education. Blessed with a rare tri-bloodline combining Dragon strength, Lín healing, and Zhào wisdom, Raven carries within her soul-space ten mystical Blood Essence Beads. Each bead holds the power to awaken a fragment of her divine body, rebuilding her from bone to spirit while granting mastery over lost technomagic arts: alchemy, artifact forging, runes, and the fusion of magic with cutting-edge science. Yet each awakening will test her mind, heart, and will to their very limits. Around her looms an empire ruled by the ruthless Eight Great Families, where noble bloodlines battle for supremacy in a brutal 100-Year Tournament. Hidden beneath them lurk the secret cultivation clans—ancient powers manipulating bloodlines and history itself. Her stepsister, Amara, pampered and poisonous, conspires to steal both her name and destiny, guided by a devourer seed that whispers corruption into willing ears. What Raven doesn't yet know will shake the foundations of reality: she is a Pillar Soul—one of the fundamental anchors holding Ascara's existence together. If she falls to darkness, the entire plane collapses into the void. To protect her world, she must locate and awaken the other Pillar Souls scattered across the world: a dying child, a broken soldier, a fallen saint, a betrayed lover, and others—each a fragment of Ascara's strength, each teetering on the edge of corruption. Time is running short. The Great Shift approaches in five years—when spiritual energy will surge back into a world that has forgotten magic. As technology begins to fail and ancient powers stir, Raven must navigate step-family betrayal, aristocratic oppression, and imperial conspiracies while a darker truth emerges: the Devourers, cosmic parasites born from primordial hunger, seek to twist her suffering into corruption and drag Ascara into eternal darkness. Standing between her and salvation are false allies and tragic enemies like Kael Xuán—heir to the ruling family and her betrayer across multiple lifetimes—while the shadowy SIS organization sacrifices innocents in the name of maintaining "order." Only one figure recognizes her true nature: the exiled Keeper of the Accord, an immortal guardian bound by cosmic law to protect Ascara's souls. In him, Raven may find not only a reluctant ally but an echo of her grandparents' forbidden love—proof that loyalty and sacrifice can triumph against the tide of ambition and despair. In a fractured empire where ancient cultivation lies broken, magic is dismissed as myth, and technology serves as the ultimate weapon, one forgotten girl will rise to reshape the fate of worlds. But first, she must survive becoming the most dangerous thing in existence: herself. ◊ ◊ ◊ Not suitable for readers under 18 or those sensitive to intense emotional/violent content.

In her previous life, Li Xueyan rose from an overlooked noble daughter to become Empress of the Great Yan Empire—only to be accused of treason and burned alive by the man she loved most, Crown Prince Yan Zhen. But death is not her end. Xueyan awakens ten years in the past, on the eve of the same political marriage that once led her to the throne—and to her execution. This time, she refuses to be a pawn. Armed with the memories of betrayal and awakened with two forbidden forces sealed in her soul—the Phoenix-Calamity Flame and the Thousand Desires Core—Xueyan returns to the imperial court with a single goal: Take control of fate… or burn it to ash. Within the palace walls, every smile hides a blade, every alliance masks betrayal, and every emotion becomes a weapon in Xueyan’s hands. With her mastery over desire, she manipulates loyalty and obsession alike—turning enemies into pawns and reshaping the power structure of the empire from the inside. But one variable refuses to remain predictable. Yan Zhen—the same man who once condemned her to death—begins to show a different face. He watches her too closely. Protects her too fiercely. Desires her with a dangerous intensity that defies reason. As conspiracies deepen and war approaches, Xueyan discovers the truth behind her execution was far more sinister than simple betrayal. Heavenly forces and ancient powers had long marked her as a threat to the balance of the world—and Yan Zhen’s actions in her past life may have been part of a greater sacrifice. Now, caught between revenge and rekindled love, Xueyan must choose: Will she destroy the empire that once destroyed her— or protect the man she once swore to hate? Because this time… if her flames awaken fully, it will not be just one life that burns. It will be the world.

Along the way, he draws close to Mei Lan, the enigmatic and stunning sect prodigy, whose own secrets may rival his. In a world of immortal powers and celestial conspiracies, Li Wei learns that some quests are not just for strength… but for the heart.

The strength of my novel lies in its emotions - fear, silence,love, thrill, memories, and the hidden truths - combined with a mysterious atmosphere that makes ordinary village life feel extraordinary. It consists stories where real life meets mystery, and the biggest surprise is how close the truth feels to reality. It is inspired by real experiences from my village life. The characters and events feel authentic because they are rooted in truth, but I have added layers of mystery and suspense that keep readers guessing until the end.

Now it's up to her to learn that fantasy isn't always as amazing as reality. ------------------------------- Author's note: Trying out a longer writing. I don't really know what counts as 'cringe' anymore... So some might find this book cringe. For those that still choose to read this, Please leave constructive criticism. I also suffer terribly with pacing.

System Player: Luna When Luna opens her eyes, the world she knew is gone. In its place stands a ruined city governed by an invisible system—one that assigns levels, grants skills, and turns survival into a game with no exit. Monsters roam freely. Players fight for power. Death is permanent. Luna is not special because she is strong. She is special because she connects. From the moment the system awakens her, something about Luna unsettles its rigid rules. Her abilities don’t focus on destruction or domination, but on bonds—threads that tie souls together, allowing trust, strength, and emotion to become power. Where others rise alone, Luna grows alongside those who choose to stand with her. As she gathers a small unit of survivors, Luna becomes the quiet center holding them together. Kai, a disciplined warrior haunted by control. Twin siblings Mira and Arin, sharp-tongued and fiercely loyal. A broken family hiding secrets the system wants erased. And Liora—a silent girl hunted by the system itself. Together, they build more than a team. They build a home. But the system is watching. As Luna’s power evolves, it begins to reveal an unsettling truth: she was never meant to exist this way. Classified as a Legacy Anchor, Luna represents something the system cannot fully calculate—choice, empathy, and growth beyond control. Every bond she forms destabilizes the rules that govern this world, drawing attention from powerful enemies and elite hunters who seek to claim or destroy her. Caught between survival and rebellion, Luna must decide what kind of player she will become. Because in a world designed to turn people into weapons, choosing to care might be the most dangerous act of all. System Player: Luna is a post-apocalyptic progression fantasy filled with emotional depth, slow-burn romance, found family, and a living system that fears the one player it cannot command. And this time… The system may have chosen wrong.

"The law says a Queen cannot rule. The King says the law must be cheated to save the world." To protect the Seven Kingdoms from the rising darkness of Draeven Zareth, King Aetheron and his most trusted ally, Lord Kaelor, commit a desperate act of high treason. They swap their newborn children. Azeal, the son of a Lord, is raised as the Crown Prince—the "False Heir" who must endure the brutal Shadowed Abyss to prove his worth. Vaelora, the true Princess, is raised in the shadows of the court, her royal blood hidden to keep her safe from ancient laws and even deadlier enemies. But fate cannot be tricked so easily. As Azeal and Vaelora grow up together, a forbidden love ignites between them—a bond that defies the roles they were forced to play. Azeal fights to become the strongest King Solthera has ever seen, while Vaelora becomes the fire that guides his soul. When the Shadowed Abyss calls, the test is not just of strength, but of the heart. As Draeven Zareth’s forbidden magic breaches the borders, the truth of the swap begins to leak like poison. Azeal must face the ultimate trial: If he is not the true King, can his love and courage still save the woman he was born to protect? A saga of sacrifice, ancient trials, and a love that asks the heavens for one more chance: "Born me again."

He died a tycoon. He awakened as a nobody. In a world where strength decides everything, Li Yan is reborn into the body of a youth executed for possessing the forbidden Darkness Element. No background. No support. No second chances. Only a cursed talent and a world that has already judged him. What this world doesn’t understand is simple: The man wearing this body once ruled empires—not through brute force, but through discipline, patience, and ruthless strategy. Cold. Calculating. Unyielding. Li Yan hides his growth behind elegance and restraint, studying the rules of a world that respects only power. He does not chase strength recklessly. He constructs it—quietly, deliberately—turning every insult into leverage and every mistake into opportunity. He manipulates. He adapts. He conquers. And when the world finally senses the flames rising around him— It will already be too late. Enemies will kneel. Legends will fall. And beauty… will walk beside his fire. "If this world must burn for me to rise... then I’ll light the match myself." – Li Yan "Kindness has its place. But not in a world that respects only the strong." – Li Yan "I don't need to roar. The world will tremble when I speak." – Li Yan

Betrayed. Left to die. Reborn. Hu Yeluo, commander of the Rong army, was thrown into the forests by the princess she loved, Duan Jingyan, and left to bleed out alone—until a mysterious demon girl stayed by her side as life slipped away.

She thought she was the victim of this story. She was wrong. Nicole married the city's most powerful CEO under duress — a contract signed by her parents, a cage built from a hundred million dollars. Her heart belonged to someone else: Kelvin, her childhood love, who had a plan to set her free. Steal from the safe. Take the car. Run. She did everything he asked. In a warehouse on the edge of the city, she learned what she actually was to Kelvin: a tool. A very expensive, very temporary tool. When he accelerated his car toward her, she had nothing left — no money, no plan, no person in the world who was on her side. Except one. John had followed her. John had watched from the shadows as she robbed him, fled him, ran to another man — and when the car came for her, he stepped in front of it. He died on a concrete floor holding a ring he'd never had the chance to give her, telling her the millions she'd stolen had always been hers to begin with. Five years of poverty. Five years of replaying that night. Five years until she collapsed at his grave in the freezing rain and whispered: if I could go back— She woke up in her wedding dress. The scars are gone. The clock reads 8:30 AM, February 25th, 2026. John is in the next hallway, alive and unsuspecting, bracing himself for a bride who despises him. He has no idea he married a woman who has already grieved him. She is done running. She is done being manipulated. And Kelvin — who has no idea that his carefully laid plan has already played out in front of an audience of one — is about to discover what it costs to underestimate a woman who has nothing left to lose and everything left to protect. He once stepped in front of a car for her. This time, she intends to make certain no car ever comes.

After her execution as the Empire's "Cruel Rose," overworked banker Sarah awakens one year pre-death—with a Gacha System and a hunger for payback. Her old life? A rotten portfolio sunk on a prince who despised her. Now as Seraphina Rosewood, she flips the script: summoning SSS-rank legends via blood rituals to forge an unstoppable monopoly. A Cursed Paladin tanks the hits. A Shadow Archmage pulls strings from the dark. A Corrupted Priest twists faith. A gender-flipped Beast-Vampire Queen unleashes primal fury. And a Fallen Hero? Pure redemption arbitrage. As holy weapons and divine assassins close in, Seraphina plays the battlefield like a trading floor—rigging optics, weaponizing pawns, and shorting the Emperor's soul itself. Love's a bad bet; a loyal harem of monstrous elites? Infinite returns as the Empress of Eternal Night.

They were enemies as children, bound by rivalry and resentment. Yet centuries later, fate threads them together again—though only one remembers the love they once shared. Illyen, a young duke, feels a strange familiarity when he meets the crown prince Cael, whose icy exterior hides centuries of longing and sacrifice. As memories begin to stir, past and present collide, forcing them to confront a love that defied time itself. In a world of power, obsession, and forgotten promises, will they finally recognize the thread that binds them… or will it snap forever?

I wanted nothing more than an ordinary life—free from crushing debt and the endless corporate grind. Instead, I died. And when I opened my eyes, I was in ancient Rome. My father?

Aryan was the "Golden Boy" of the Indian tech scene—until the people he trusted most cut his throat. In a sterile boardroom in Mumbai, his best friend and his lead investor didn't just fire him; they stripped him of his dignity, his shares, and his life’s work. As his heart failed under the crushing weight of their greed, Aryan realized the truth: In the world of modern business, being a "good founder" is just another way of saying you're a "good lamb." But the universe isn't finished with him. Aryan wakes up ten years in the past, back in 2016. He’s broke, he’s in a tiny apartment, and he’s holding a cracked laptop. But this time, he isn't alone. A glowing, imperial interface hovers in the air—the [Chakravartin Business System]. The System offers him a path that no MBA could ever teach. It grants him the strategies of the Gupta Empire, the legendary "Golden Age" of India. To win, Aryan must stop playing by the rules of Silicon Valley and start playing by the rules of Emperors. He must hunt down the Ten Gems—the SSR-tier geniuses hidden in the shadows of the corporate world. A disgraced architect of code, a ruthless master of logistics, a legendary keeper of the mint—together, they will form his Imperial Council. But building an empire costs more than money. Aryan is haunted by the memories of his future: the face of the woman he loved who was forced to marry his rival, the family he neglected, and the crushing loneliness of power. Can he build his "Pataliputra" without becoming the very monster who killed him? Every decision is a gamble. Every contract is a battlefield. As Aryan’s influence grows, his enemies from the future begin to notice a "ghost" in the market—a shadow player who knows their every move before they make it. The Paper Kings are gathering their armies. The corporate siege is coming. Will Aryan unite the "Four Quarters" of the market, or is he destined to die in a boardroom once again?
