The Cube Queen's Apocalypse Feast

#NoCP #PlayingPig (This novel is one of my favorites. I’ve gone back and reread it about 5–6 times now.) Jing Shu has seen the end of the world, and it’s literally a storm of epic proportions, and she’s been given the ultimate do-over: a ten-year rewind. Thrown back in time to just two months before everything goes to hell, she has one mission: to make her apocalypse as comfortable as possible. Forget just surviving. While others are scrambling for canned beans, Jing Shu is building a fortified sanctuary, raising soon-to-be-extinct poultry for gourmet meals, and cultivating a garden of forgotten veggies. Armed with a mysterious evolving cube that grants her a private pocket dimension and a magical spirit spring water, she’s set to ride out the disaster in style. But what’s the point of living like a queen if you can’t enjoy a little revenge? The apocalypse is about to get a serious upgrade in style, and Jing Shu can’t wait for her enemies to see what they’re missing. Let them hear the sizzle of her steak and smell the aroma of her barbecue. Their despair is just the seasoning she needs. In a world where humanity itself is changing, mutating into powerful "New Humans" fused with the chaos, Jing Shu is ready to evolve right along with them. She’s got her cube, her spring, and a plan. The storm is coming, and she has a front-row seat. === English Original Title:《I'm planting a field in the end times》 (Note: Title adapted for tone and readability while preserving the story’s core themes.)

The rejected Luna returns

They wanted a villain, so I became one. (Readers discretion R18+) Publicly humiliated and cast aside, Lina became an easy target after she was rejected by her fated mate, Kain, the Alpha's son. Used by those in power, blamed for things she didn't do, and abandoned when she needed protection the most, her first life ended violently and unfairly. But that wasn't the end. She was reborn into several years in the past with the memories of her death intact, and was aware of everything that would happen. Lina refuses to make the same choices again. This time, she keeps her distance, hardens herself, and stops trying to be good for people who never valued her. But no matter how careful she threads, fate still tied her down to the same person. Only this time, she had two fated mates instead of one, Kain's twin brother, Louis. And despite having rejected her and ruined her life previously, Kain is now desperate to reclaim her. However, as the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. Lina refuses to fall back in her old ways again. He may want her back, but it doesn't mean she will still be there, waiting for him. Excerpt (Lina's POV) "You want an answer right? Fine…" I shot back, my expression hardening. "I feel nothing for you. Besides, aren't you already engaged? What more do you want from a lowly slave like me?" my words came out harsh, not because I meant to sound harsh, I just….I couldn't take the risk, not with a Winston. My fate could end up just like before, if I dared to let myself waver. I noticed his expression harden, his eyes turning cold as he quietly moves away to let me pass. I didn't waste another second there. I rushed out of his quarters, my eyes burning as I tried to hold back my tears. The emotions welling up inside me, so much pain than I've ever felt before, sadness….these couldn't be mine. I froze where I stood, clutching my chest as the emotions overwhelmed me. It was at that moment that it dawned on me. He was actually in love with me. But how? When? I don't understand. What in the world is going on, why had events become so unpredictable, so many things had changed I don't even know what to do anymore. If Louis was in love with me, then…maybe I finally had a chance to use him to change my fate. Carla has already proposed this, but I was afraid I'll end up being betrayed, used and then cast aside just like the past. But this was different now, he loves me.That makes him a risk… and an opportunity.... I just needed to use him to change my fate, I didn't have to love him back. Using him meant crossing a line I swore I never would. It meant becoming something I despised. But what was the alternative? I don't know what came over me, but I turned around, heading back into the room where I found him laying on the bed. He sat up in a hurry as I barged into the room, his eyes wide with surprise. He obviously wasn't expecting me to come back. "You—" he stopped himself, pushing himself upright. "Why are you here? " I didn't answer immediately. I stood there, staring at him, noticing the tension in his shoulders, the way his jaw clenched like he was bracing himself for rejection all over again. "I lied," I said finally.

Sigil of Ash

The man who died in an alley woke up in a world of beasts, dragons and living ink—with a new name, a new family, and not a single memory of the life he left behind. By the time Antony Keaney turns ten, the old world is gone. No echoes of the knife. No face to put to the name "Leo" that sometimes rises in his throat like grief he can't explain. He is just a poor boy now, son of a laborer with a faded Draft-Horse Beast Bond and grey Rune and a mother whose Fire-Newt barely lights their hearth. Antony Keaney has never bonded a beast. He's never felt a Rune burn into his skin or heard the heartbeat inside an egg. He's just a ten-year-old boy from a poor family, about to stand in the Dredge Basin and pick whatever broken egg the nobles have left behind. He expects nothing. Maybe a Fire-Newt. Maybe nothing at all. What he gets is a Coal Lizard... A creature no one has ever seen before. A fire-newt with no fire. Cold to the touch. Grey as ash. The lowest of the low. The other children laugh. The Overseer calls it defective. His mother cries. But one person isn't laughing. Professor Venn is watching from the shadows. A researcher from the most prestigious academy in the region. He has spent twenty years studying Runes, cataloguing beasts, writing papers on things that have never been seen before. He has never seen a Coal Lizard, no one has. He doesn't want to help Antony. He wants to study him. Cut open his Rune on paper. Document the failure for science. And if the boy has to sit in a classroom with forty-two noble children who bully, mock and despise him? if he has to spend every day surrounded by dragons while his own beast can't produce a single spark? Then, oh well. That's a small price for knowledge. Antony doesn't know why his lizard sometimes feels warm when no one is watching. He doesn't know why his Rune itches late at night, like it wants to move. He doesn't know why Professor Venn's eyes follow him with something that looks almost like hunger. He only knows he's about to enter a school where everyone sees him as a walking failure to be examined. And somewhere, buried in ash, something is starting to remember how to burn...

The Dark Lord's Second Chance

[⚠️ Warning: English not my prior language, so if any grammatical and any kind of mistakes are expected. please let me know to correct it if you find any.] They called me the Scourge of the Seven Realms. The Black Emperor. The man who'd conquered half the world before his thirtieth birthday. None of those titles mattered now, as I lay dying on the blood-soaked marble of my throne room. "Any last words, Damien?" High Priestess Celeste stood over me, her blade — my own sword, stolen during the battle — still dripping with my blood. Behind her, the leaders of the rebellion watched with hungry eyes, eager to see the tyrant fall. I wanted to laugh. After everything I'd done, all the kingdoms I'd conquered, all the battles I'd won, I was being killed by the woman I'd once loved. The woman I'd trusted above all others. "You won't win," I managed, blood bubbling from my lips. "The demons... they'll come regardless. You've doomed everyone." "Better the demons than you," she spat. The irony was bitter. I'd conquered the world to unite it, to prepare for the demonic invasion my visions had shown me. But fear and propaganda had turned me into a monster in their eyes. They couldn't see that everything I'd done was to save them. "So be it," I whispered. "May you live long enough to see your mistake." Celeste raised the blade for the final strike. "Goodbye, Damien." The sword fell. Darkness swallowed me. And then... [Discord: https://discord.gg/MYvk4cMUsx]

Godless System: Rise of the Crimson Prince

A thousand souls died to give him a second chance. He plans to spend every one of them on revenge. Nova Almond awakens on Earth without memories—just a sickly child raised by a kind foster mother in a world where dungeons spawn monsters, the Universal System governs power, and the strong devour the weak. But when fragments of his past life as a cold-blooded prince of a fallen Ancient Human family begin surfacing, he remembers the truth: his father butchered, his sister hunting redemption through atrocity, his closest friend's knife in his back. Now, armed with genius-level technological knowledge and the slow return of his superpowers, Nova must navigate academy rivalries, Earth's shadowy organizations like the FIENDS, and the cosmic forces that destroyed his family—while rebuilding the Shadows, collecting his scattered soul pieces, and deciding whether the man he's becoming is the monster they made or something far more dangerous: a brother, a lover... and the rightful claimant to a throne stained in blood. "The universe is vast and cold and utterly indifferent to our suffering. But we are not indifferent. We are not cold. We are the fragments of shattered crowns and broken souls, and we will build something new from the ruins of everything that tried to destroy us. This is not a story about vengeance. It was never only about vengeance. It is a story about coming home." — Nova Almond, The Crimson Dominion of the Godless System
