Though it may be a dream weathered, crumpled, and fading to dust. I held on without looking back. Through each repeated day, I ran toward tomorrow’s light. Becoming a knight, resolute and bright.

In the year 2350, Earth changed forever. Portals tore open across the skies, unleashing monstrosities no human had ever faced. But with the monsters came awakening – humans gained power, ranks, and a status screen that defined their place in the new world. Two centuries later, power no longer belonged to politicians, but to the awakened. Damian Valcor, a bored 15-year-old, only cared about passing the entrance exam for an academy. But on the eve of the results, his life was overturned when he awakened the memories of his past life. A past life where he was not an ordinary man… But a ruthless mafia boss. To his shock, the world he now lived in was nearly identical to a novel he had once come across in his previous life. Although he remembered the world, he didn’t remember any of the characters of that novel. But he was sure of one thing. Damian Valcor was not one of the main characters. He was just a random Extra. With underworld cunning, ruthless ambition, and the knowledge of what lies in the future for this world, Damian must make sure to protect his loved ones, the loved ones he never had in his past life. He will make sure to snuff out the existence of any being who dared to endanger them. But for that… He needs to rise as the one pulling the strings. And to do that, he needed… Power. "Power isn’t granted, it’s taken – and I’ve had a lifetime of practice." ________________ Schedule:- 2 Chapter/Day for now.

So, he returns to the North of Westeros, but is the continent prepared for the Dragonborn seeking revenge? The time has passed 12 years in Skyrim and 8 Years in Westeros.

She may have been in love, but she hated him more, with every breath she took, and no matter what happened, forgiveness wasn't a choice. She would give him a taste of his own medicine and didn't care that she could lose herself in the process. If anything, she had come from the ashes he had forced her into. ************ It was a game of power - sacrifices had to be made and blood would flow this time. They share a bed, they share a home, they share literally everything, or not. They both have secrets. Secrets that tie them together and doom them at the same time. They are both strong-willed and can fight their own battles. Standing on opposite sides, love and betrayal face each other, while regrets and kisses take the back seat. In a world where the bullets decide who lives and who leaves, who will take the first shot? ****** [Cannot be read as a standalone] - To understand the storyline, you have to read the first book, THE CRADLE OF LOVE.

Then I'll devour the Blue Silver Emperor, absorb the right leg bone of a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, and become Emperor before Tang San!

Synopsis Four-year-old Ren, the mixed-blood son of a Yamanaka shinobi, is cast out of the clan alongside his mother and seven-year-old sister because his father considers their blood a stain on the Yamanaka name. With nothing but a rusted, chipped tanto, Ren grows up without money, status, training, or protection. Determined to survive, he discovers a natural talent for mental techniques and begins forging his own path as a shinobi. As Ren grows stronger, he sets out to create a name greater than the clan that rejected him—and prove that his blood never defined his worth.

Viola was once the pride of her pack, destined to rise above everyone on the day she received her wolf. Instead, that day marked her fall. She had been the villain in countless stories, untouchable and adored by the Alpha heir, until the night her wolf was supposed to awaken, and fate played its cruelest joke. She fell to the lowest rank in her pack, rejected by her sworn mate. Stripped of status, strength, and even her wolf, she was forced to live a life worse than that of an omega. Imprisoned and alone, Viola’s only hope of escape lay in finding her wolf, or her fated mate. Only, a dark past kept her powers dormant… and her fated mate didn’t want her. Sebastian Kade is powerful, ruthless, and chained to a past he refuses to release. Viola Linden does not belong in his world, and he wants her gone. Fate, however, disagrees. This fragile, stubborn girl refuses to leave his orbit. He does not believe in love. He does not want her. He has already lost too much. An Alpha who swore off weakness, hardened by loss and haunted by a prophecy that feels more like a curse, Sebastian is certain he will never allow another woman into his life. But the Moon Goddess is rarely kind. Viola carries something ancient within her, something dangerous, something powerful enough to defy him. Hate twists into desire. Desire ignites into fierce passion. And passion threatens to become love. But when Sebastian discovers what Viola truly carries within her, will it save him… or destroy everything he’s built? ~~~ WARNING: MATURE CONTENT! #Slow burn #Spicy #Morally Gray ML #Adventure #Angst Discord server: https://discord.gg/VMM9DXw3yP

At eighteen, Haruto has already lived a lifetime of silence. For 5 years, he has survived alone in a cramped, hollow house, abandoned by the world. He never stepped foot in a school, yet he possessed a genius that no classroom could teach. To escape the suffocating boredom of his reality, Haruto turned to the only world that welcomed him: Gaming. Living on the meager wages of a shopping mart job, he couldn't afford a life, let alone a console. So, he built one. From junkyard scrap, discarded circuits, and shattered LCDs, he engineered a high-performance rig that shouldn't have worked—but did. It was his only masterpiece in a world he found utterly gray. Everything changed the night a shooting star answered his silent plea for excitement. Haruto is transported to Aetheria, a realm divided among four great races: Humans, Spirits, Elves, and Gods. He is immediately thrust into a trial of worth, forced to face the overwhelming presence of three Goddesses. Against all odds, he is chosen as the successor to "AETHERIS," the primordial force of reality. With the legendary title of "Star-Child," his Mana becomes linked to his very emotions—a source of infinite power. But the gift comes with a cruel twist. In Aetheria, everyone lives by the HUD, a system screen tracking levels and skills. Because he inherited a God's power, the system glitched: Haruto has Infinite Mana, but his Level and Skills have been reset to absolute Zero. Now, the Master Gamer must grind like never before. While he lacks skills, he carries a secret the world isn't ready for: He gains experience 1000 times faster than any living being. His goal is clear: reach Level 100, eliminate his boredom, and confront the God of Nothingness—an entity the world has long forgotten. Many allies and enemies will join his journey, but Haruto is playing a different game. And in this game, there are no save files.

Since then, the billionaire CEO has built his life around two things: power and control. Love was never part of the plan. Then Amelia entered his life. She was everything he shouldn't want: stubborn, guarded, and impossible to understand. Yet somehow, she became the woman he couldn't stay away from. What started as attraction soon became something far more dangerous: love. But Amelia hadn't entered Alexander's life by accident. She was chasing something.

So she infiltrated his life with one goal in mind: get close enough to use him. The problem? The closer Amelia gets to Alexander, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends and her feelings begin. He thinks he's falling in love with the woman he knows. She knows he's falling for a woman who doesn't exist. And when the truth finally catches up with them, neither of them will walk away unchanged. **** Sequel: Bullets By Dawn

Mankind prospered in the modern age, but one day, everything changed. Mana descended onto the world, making a permanent change to society. Alongside it was also the appearance of monsters invading the world from the sky and from below. Gods pitied mankind and bestowed divine bloodlines, creating superhuman people called the Supernals who can fend off the invaders. But not everyone who became a Supernal is suited for the role. Those people are pariahs that don't belong anywhere, especially when there are quotas for each divine bloodline. In a world where society revolves around those with divine bloodlines, Kai is a Supernal with the lowest talent. He doesn't fit with normal people and is too ordinary to mingle with Supernals. He was ostracized for hogging a slot in a divine legacy, and his only family suffered for it. But Kai isn't weak. It's just that nothing could properly check his bloodline. [Primordial Bloodline awakened] [Patron God: Goddess of the Primordial Night] Now, with the bloodline of the final night inside him, he will bring terror to those who wronged him. However, there's one big problem that he hadn't realized. -- Bonus Chapters will depend on your votes: Power Stones, golden tickets, gifts, or even comments and reviews if the mood is great! 200 Power Stones: 1 extra chapter! 100 Golden Tickets: 1 extra chapter! 20 Golden Tickets: 3 extra chapters! 500 Golden Tickets: 5 extra chapters!

"Battling young masters for some treasures in mysterious caves? No, thank you. What's so special about a ring containing an old sage's trapped soul? I'll just toss it away. Becoming a direct disciple of some big expert with many enemies? Count me out. I'll flip the bird to the pointless struggle in prestigious sects that only attract calamity. What I have here, this opportunity I've seized, is plenty for me. I'll choose safe and steady methods of progress, even if they're slow. After all, I'm just a simple farmer seeking peace through cultivation. I'll rely on myself to pave the way." - Aksai Everwood (Chapter 7) ============ Aksai Everwood was a terminally ill man in his past life who signed up for one last experiment and accidentally made history by merging his mind with an artificial super intelligence. Instead of dying, he woke up in another world with a new name, new body, and a magical farm. But this isn’t your average pastoral paradise. Spirit farming here means dealing with dangerous cultivation, chaotic realms, and the occasional reality-bending headache. Armed with neural tech, an enchanted farm that grows mystical resources, and the ability to travel between worlds, Aksai skips the usual sect life to blaze his own trail. From druidic powers to martial arts and body cultivation, he’s on a path to conquer many realms. ============ Additional Tags: #druid #bloodlines #Martialarts #worldhopping #artificialintelligence #coldmc #battlenovel #calculatingmc #villain #farming #spiritcultivation #mindcultivation #bodycultivation #worldhopping #rpgelements #low-keymc #sliceoflife #nonarrogantmc
