AN: This is a trial read for me. If you stumble upon this book somehow, feel free to read it...

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? Gaius Julius Caesar—the man destined to rule, or ruin, the Republic. But history is written in blood. If I do nothing, my new family will be swept away by the coming political firestorm. Power is survival in Rome, and I intend to survive. Armed with modern knowledge, I will reshape the Roman Republic—through banking, insurance, industry, and new political strategies. Rome will never be the same. ============================================== What to Expect: - A grounded story set in the Roman Republic (BCE) - Technological innovation, business, military campaigns, Senate politics, and diplomacy - Based on real history—its religions, places, and historical figures - Smart MC using future knowledge to solve problems - 4 chapters a week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday (Korean time) - 20 chapters ahead on patreon (https://www.patreon.com/cw/MinchoNyangi) ============================================== MinchoNyangi here!  This is the official English edition of [카이사르의 아들이 되었다].

The Dark Triad Trapped in a finite cycle of four repeating loops, I awaken each time with memories intact and emotions slowly fading. As the world resets, morality becomes irrelevant and humanity turns into an experiment rather than a truth. Through manipulation, observation, and calculated cruelty, I embrace the principles- Machiavellianism, Psychopathy,Narcissism ~

Renan Stone died alongside the world's final champions, crushed beneath the Dark One's infinite power. After years of bloodshed, after Earth merged with the realm of Masteria, everything was lost. Yet somehow, death wasn't the end. Renan awoke in the past, waking up silently in his room, before the release of the game. Everything thinks Masteria Online is just an advanced VRMMO. Renan knows the truth. He has one chance to rewrite fate. Armed with years of knowledge, Renan will dominate Masteria Online from day one. But even that isn't enough. He must cultivate the players into a formidable force, bolster the "NPC" natives, and foil the Dark One's plans at every turn. The Dark One has schemed for a thousand years. Renan has only a few years of experience. It was time for him to shatter a God's perfect plan.

They wanted a villain, so I became one. 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.

A young man who has accepted his own mediocrity arrives on the Dou Qi Continent. Will he continue to remain ordinary — or defy fate and change his destiny? No system. He grows stronger through rationally arranged opportunities and perseverance... --- This is a Translation. --- Raw: 斗破之重生柳席 ---

Investment Empire Building / Confident MC / MC is not the only smart character DISCLAIMER: The similarity in names of characters in this novel to those of real world individuals is purely a coincidence This story is set in the same universe as my first novel, "Evolution of Genius: every night, I get smarter!", however, reading this novel doesn't require you to have any knowledge about the other.

Hey everyone! It’s me; DJ. You see, this book is a little different then my other books as, if you guessed by the title, it’s actually a bunch of One-Shots/Short Stories, Character Bios, and Synopsizes showing different ideas for future stories. Some of these stories might be made into actual books, like "A Replicating Hero", while others might not, but could still get the chance to be used for a crossover with another story I'll write, like being added to "The Defender of Worlds" as some of the Dimensions that Nick will visit in his adventures across the Multiverse. I’m also happy to take ANY requests. Note: Everything in this book are unofficial stories. Disclaimer: I don’t own any series and/or characters in these story ideas, other then my own original ones, like Nick.

Bruno traveled back to the summer of 2012 and found himself in the body of Bruno Fernandes, bringing with him a master football training system. This led to Bruno Fernandes, who left Novara to join Udinese, quickly standing out in the Italian Serie A and gaining renown throughout Italy. In the summer of 2016, B. Fernandes landed in England, leading the declining Manchester United on the path to revitalization. (Pogba: Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?) In Qatar, Bruno Fernandes, who rose quickly, became the man who helped Cristiano Ronaldo reach the pinnacle of football. As Ronaldo aged, he took on the important task of revitalizing the team of the Five Shields and embarked on his own path to becoming the king of football. Di Natale: Bruno made me taste the sweetness of the championship! Mourinho: It's great to have Bruno around! Cristiano Ronaldo: Bruno helped me become the king of football! Bruno: Actually, I am the king of football! Thank you for the support, friends. If you want to read more chapters in advance, go to my Patreon. Read 40 Chapters In Advance: patreon.com/Cortez10  

This man began as a completely unremarkable defensive midfielder. Then, by chance, he learned a bit about organizing play... then a bit about carrying the ball forward... and then free kicks too. And just like that, the football world got lively. Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo loved playing with him—handsome, eloquent, and most importantly, the guy who covered their backs so they could focus on attacking up front. Messi had a love-hate relationship with him. Every time he played against Barcelona, he got fired up—and somehow always dragged Messi into playing brotherly football. All number 8s loved playing alongside him—his coverage was everywhere, his pressure resistance was second to none. He was the ultimate shield in front of center-backs, the perfect partner to midfielders, and the strongest wall behind the forwards. Xabi Alonso was his mentor, Mourinho his boss, and Pogba? Just his junior. Whenever a reporter asked him how he got so good, he'd always reply: “Train like hell. Give it everything you’ve got!” Thank you for the support, friends.

In his previous life, he stood at the pinnacle of the Shinigami world—only to fall before he could savor the view. Now, reborn in an earlier era of Soul Society, he awakens as Gosuke Shigure, an unremarkable soul with no ambition beyond a peaceful, anonymous life. But fate—and Central 46—have other plans. Branded the Ninth Kenpachi, and widely mocked as the weakest to ever bear the title, Gosuke must now walk a path he never wanted. To survive, he must rise. And in doing so, he'll forge a new legend—from forgotten footsoldier to the mightiest Kenpachi in history. In the name of Kenpachi... let the Soul Society tremble.

In a world of magic and might, he'll prove that brains and bucks can be the ultimate power.

Nothing is set in stone—not time, not fate, and certainly not Death. But in Rudra's existence, one thing has remained constant: a person. In her tears and rage. In her love and hatred. Now, Rudra is determined to figure out why she was the only one who mourned his death while the rest of the world celebrated his demise—especially since they had always stood on opposite sides of the war. And her answer might be the one thing he holds most dear—the only truth that remains truly sacred. In the kingdom of Partha, power does not negotiate. It descends from the mountain, absolute and ancient, in the form of Ravaan Azhdar — the Dragon King — and his son, Prince Rudra, who inherits his father's fire and none of his patience. In his first life, Rudra did what dragons do. He wanted the Saintess of Benevia and he took her — flew across half the known world and carried Teresa Williams out of her country like a thing claimed, imprisoning her in the cursed land of Alaka for months while the kingdoms of men scrambled to respond. He was not cruel to her, exactly. He simply did not think of her as something that required particular consideration. She was leverage. She was a statement. She was, in the particular arithmetic of dragon politics, a piece on a board. He did not expect Percival Leonhart. The hero came through Alaka the way heroes do — through impossible odds and worse terrain, carrying the legendary sword of Mamon, and he killed Rudra with it. Not cleanly. Not quickly. But definitively. Rudra lay dying in the ruins of everything he had built, alone, which was no more than he deserved and he knew it, and he waited for the end with the specific resignation of a creature who has no remorse, no regret whatsoever. Then Tish appeared. Not rescued, not triumphant, not standing over him with justified contempt. She appeared the way she always moved through the world — quietly, purposefully, and in this case with her hands already reaching for him, her holy magic already trying to knit shut wounds that had no business being knittable. She was crying. She was afraid. And she was, against every law of sense and self-preservation, trying to save the dragon who had taken her from her home He didn't understand it. He asked her why, once, in the way a dying thing asks questions — without real expectation of an answer. She didn't explain. She kept healing. And then an arrow found her, from somewhere in the dark, and she died in front of him before he could — before he could what, exactly, he would spend a great deal of time not finishing that thought. Then Rudra woke up in his bed in Ashkavar. Three years before any of it happened. He lay there for a long time. Long enough for the disorientation to pass and the facts to arrange themselves into something he could examine. He had been given time back, though by what mechanism or mercy he couldn't say. The world was reset. Tish was alive somewhere in Benevia, being saintly and blessed and entirely unaware of everything that hadn't happened yet. He did not love her. He wants to be clear about that, if only to himself. He had barely known her in the first life, and what he had known he hadn't particularly liked — she was stubborn and principled and had an infuriating tendency to keep extending grace to things that hadn't earned it, chief among them apparently him. He did not miss her. He missed the answer she hadn't given him. He missed the specific shape of a question that had no other possible source of resolution. Why had she tried to save him. And for that answer, he was determined to burn everything down all over again. (I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com )

Xu Ning, the poised and formidable CEO of the country's largest conglomerate, has mastered the art of staying three steps ahead of everyone. But when corporate rivalries lead her to Likaya, a war-scarred Caribbean island, she finds herself drawn into a mystery far older than she could imagine. Her path crosses with Shen Yichen, a guarded and dangerously perceptive man who challenges her in ways no one else dares. Their encounters become a battle of wit and restraint, where every conversation hides an unspoken challenge and every lingering glance threatens to reveal more than either intends. Neither is willing to surrender the upper hand, yet the tension between them grows impossible to ignore. As they navigate tangled conspiracies, buried betrayals, and the island's troubled past, suspicion gives way to reluctant trust—and attraction becomes their greatest vulnerability. But Xu Ning's forgotten past holds a truth that could shatter the fragile bond between them. Some encounters are written by fate; others demand a price.

After 600+ chapters, here’s what to expect. First of all, throughout this novel, I have learned and improved in my story-making ability. Sadly though, you could only see this improvement about several hundred chapters in, like in the upper 300s and early 400s. And this change comes before a story arc that is bad compared to my recent story arcs. You may feel inclined to stop before then. You may feel inclined to stop even before you reach a hundred chapters. You may think, “Oh, there’s no action, it’s boring, and everything is easy for our MC.” But if you persist, you will see the true vision I have for the novel. Kingdom building, action-packed, and enough slice-of-life to warm your hearts into overdrive. If you hear the words, DIVA, AUBILITIES, and METROPOLIS, then you are about to enter, what I think, is my best major story arcs I have written so far. The Metropolis Arc is peak. Here’s what to expect: — Action: Yes. There’s a new and exciting change in the latter chapters that allowed for a lot of action. — Kingdom Building: Absolutely. I’ll admit that in the earlier chaps, there’s a lot of need for improvement. But I think that I was able to remedy most of them in the recent chaps. — Slice-of-life: Yes, sir. If you loved the novel for its slice-of-life, then you can rest assured that it would continue on even in the most latest chapters. — Romance: This one, I’ll admit, needs a lot of improvement. But it’s because they are still kids in the novel so I still stray away from something truly romantic. However, romance in this novel could be attributed to the romance of family and of friendships for now. I hope that I was able to convince you to start reading my novel. If you read it before and want to start reading again, you can message me on Discord for questions regarding plot points, characters, or anything you forgot and I can remind you. ——————— Michael was suddenly reborn into a another world by a God because of an accidental death. To make up for this fact, the God gave him another life in a fantasy world of swords, magic, and monsters. Unfortunately, it turned out that the world he was reborn into was still stuck in the medieval times. It didn't have electricity, it didn't have proper plumbing, and it didn't have any technology that he was so used to back in his old world. But thanks to the God's blessing and an AI assistant called ChatJK1, he was given the power to MAKE his life comfortable. Slowly, Michael transforms this new world into a place even better than his previous one by taking ideas from the modern world and putting it in this world, with the added bonus of magic.
