Li Daoxuan received a strange scenic box. Inside the box, there was an ancient village, and a group of plastic figures, holding swords and knives, hacking and slashing through the village. He bent his finger and flicked it towards a most conspicuous figure... Late in the Ming Dynasty, in Shaanxi, there was a great drought in the land. A gang of mountain bandits was looting, burning, killing, and plundering in the village. A poor maiden was about to be killed under a mountain bandit's blade. Suddenly, a giant hand stretched out from the clouds, bent a finger, flicked it, and the mountain bandit was flung several dozen yards away.

She had been reincarnated 99 times, but each time she died at the hands of a man named Bandung Bandawasa. In each of her lives, Lestari carried the burden of tormenting memories and in each death, gradually erased her true identity as Lestari, a 24-year-old modern-day girl who enjoyed reading stories and watching films with ancient Javanese themes, until finally her soul merged completely with the cursed figure, Rara Jonggrang, with her burning revenge.

Colette thought she had been given a second chance. The world of this game is familiar; structured, predictable, governed by invisible mechanics that reward the right choices and punish the wrong ones. She knows how stories like this are supposed to go. But the world begins to fail her. Another player moves through it differently, pushing back against the system’s logic entirely. Where one follows scripts, the other breaks them. Where one believes in progression, the other believes in survival. As the rules distort and consequences deepen, it becomes clear that this world is not interested in fairness. Because this game was never designed to be fair, and it was never meant to be won. All that matters is who gets to choose the ending.

From overworked corporate slave to… the fat niece of a future villain? At twenty-three, my life ended in the most ironic way possible, drowning in a lake while reading an online romance novel. When I woke up, I wasn’t just alive, I was inside that very novel. And worse, not as the princess or the healer or even the tragic maid. No. I woke up as Seraphine Agro, the silver-haired, chubby niece of the story’s main villain, Duke Tayler Agro, the man who would one day summon a famine, experiment on peasants, and get publicly executed. Awesome. Now I’m stuck in a half-collapsed mansion with stale soup, a broken “Duke” father who’s too kind for his own good, and an entire kingdom collapsing into plague and hunger. And to make things worse, the hero of the story—the dangerously handsome knight Sir Alex Canva, is on his way to inspect our lands. I know the plot. I know who dies. And I’m not planning to go quietly. Armed with sarcasm, stubbornness, and a questionable diet, I’m rewriting destiny, one disastrous choice at a time.

The emperor belongs to the empire. The general belongs to the battlefield. Neither of them belongs to himself. In a court where a single glance can become treason, Emperor Li Tianyu rules with restraint, surrounded by empress, consorts, and ministers who watch for weakness. His power is absolute—but carefully caged. Zhao Junjie, the empire’s youngest Supreme General, has survived war, betrayal, and bloodshed. His loyalty is unquestioned. His silence is dangerous. As rebellions rise and court factions sharpen their knives, the emperor and his general are drawn into a bond that cannot be spoken, named, or revealed. Their connection survives through late-night councils, unspoken glances, and decisions that quietly protect one another—at the cost of everything else. There is no confession. There is no promise. Only loyalty that refuses to break. Beneath the Dragon Banner is a slow-burn historical epic of power, restraint, and forbidden devotion—where love is not declared, but endured.

After her grandfather's death, Bai Hanyun was disowned by her parents and cast out of the Bai family. With nowhere else to go, she left the city and returned to the countryside. There, by a twist of fate, she discovered an antique mirror hidden in the basement of her newly purchased home. From that moment on, strange events began to unfold—until one day, she stumbled upon a prayer from a young general. Feng Xiyan, besieged by the Yuezhi Tribe and betrayed by the imperial court, had been driven into a desperate corner. With no access to water, food, or medicine, he and the citizens of Xiqiang City could do nothing but await death. But just as all hope seemed lost, Heaven intervened. From that moment on, the Feng Army and the people of Xiqiang City had enough food and water, living lives more prosperous than even the Emperor himself.

Murong Jin is the empire’s undefeated goddess of war. On the battlefield, she has crushed every enemy, earning glory, power, and the fear of her foes. But her greatest challenge awaits in the capital—not an enemy army, but an imperial decree. Her reward for victory is not honor, but a forced marriage to the Fifth Prince, Xue Liulan. To the world, he is the useless prince—a tyrant of taverns and gambling halls, drunk, shameless, and disgraced. To her, he is humiliation incarnate. Yet beneath his mask of vice and laziness lurks something dangerous. Behind the smile of a wastrel hides a man with sharp fangs: a secret vendetta, a war fought in the dark, and ambitions that could shake the throne itself. Now, the empire’s strongest general is bound to its most despised prince. One seeks freedom, the other revenge. But in the palace, where every smile hides a blade, their union will light the fuse that could consume the dynasty. Can Murong Jin tame her useless tyrant husband—or will she find herself trapped in his deadly game?

Introduction: A shocking plan took away her first time. The once loving and sweet relationship was buried in the cold. "Since you are pregnant, let's get married. It just so happens that I don't like you, and you don't like me either." The aloof and charming Yin Sichen threw down a paper contract: "We are just a contract couple." Gu Xixi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly the man who signed the contract ignored her resistance and declared his possession to the whole world. Yin Sichen, what are you going to do?Yin Sichen smiled charmingly: "Honey, it's time for us to have a second child!"

In the gothic shadow of Sidonia Kemis, the boundary between humanity and horror is crumbling. From the dimension of Sarx, parasitic entities known as Tumors breach the veil, possessing the innocent and twisting them into flesh-eating monstrosities. It is a grim age where steam mixes with blood, and the only line of defense against the darkness is the Holy Convent. To fight these monsters, the Church creates monsters of their own—elite executioners known as Priests who wield "Gospels." These are not prayers, but terrible curses that weaponize the body, allowing the faithful to burn, crush, and slice through the corruption at the cost of their own humanity. But the true threat may not come from the dimension of flesh, but from within the sanctuary itself. It all started with Sister Blood. A heretic hiding within the Convent’s elite ranks, she has set a divine conspiracy in motion that threatens to shatter the natural order. Her scheme began with a single, twisted act: the delivery of a "gift" wrapped in swaddling clothes to a retired executioner who thought his war was over. Now, dragged back into a conflict he tried to escape, one man must navigate a treacherous world of mad science, ancient sea beasts, and political betrayal. Hunted by the organization he once served and burdened by a mutation that is slowly turning him into a beast, he must uncover the truth behind the heresy. In a world where divinity is just another word for power, the only way to survive is to become something worse than the devil. Support Author at: https://www.patreon.com/ZenpaiTrans

NO SMUT. In the crown-bound kingdom of Valedryn, the Church teaches that humanity was cursed by a single girl. Ophelia — the first woman — defied God and was cast out of His garden. For her heresy, Heaven stripped mankind of its magic. Now humans kneel while elves and dwarves wield power like birthrights. Desperate for forgiveness, the priests offer God a penance. Punish the daughters. Girls are named omens, born sinful, and destroyed at birth. Only the most “useful” are spared — raised not as people, but as property of the throne. Veiled. Numbered. Promised to noble houses or the king himself to strengthen bloodlines that Heaven has long abandoned. They are never called she. Only it. Seris Zephyr was meant to be one of them. Too beautiful to discard, she is taken to the palace and groomed to become a royal vessel — obedient, silent, and grateful to serve. But Seris does not bow. She does not kneel. And no prayer has ever left her lips willingly. There is something wrong with her. Candles flare when she’s angry. Doors unlock at her touch. The air bends like it’s listening. Humans are not meant to have power. As whispers of unrest spread through the cathedral courts and the Church hunts for signs of divine punishment, Seris begins to suspect the kingdom’s greatest truth is a lie. Perhaps Ophelia did not curse humanity. Perhaps girls were never the sin. And if the throne discovers what Seris truly is, they won’t crown her. They’ll burn her. Because in Valedryn, a girl who refuses to bow is not just disobedient — she is heresy. PHOTO IS NOT MINE, I GOT IT FROM PINTEREST.

Supreme Viking System is a brutal power-fantasy reborn at the dawn of legend. One moment, Anders Skjold is a modern man with a sharp engineer’s mind. The next, he awakens as a newborn in a smoke-filled Viking longhouse—surrounded by iron, fire, and gods who should not yet exist. Before panic can take hold, a cold blue interface ignites before his eyes. The Supreme Viking System has chosen a host. Forged by Odin himself to create the perfect warrior for Valhalla, the System grants levels, stats, skills, and quests—but it does not care about mercy. Daily trials harden the body. Weekly challenges test loyalty and leadership. Saga-level quests reshape history. And every choice carries consequences written in blood and rune. Armed with knowledge centuries ahead of his time, Anders begins to rise—not as a lone berserker, but as a king. Villages become fortresses. Clans become armies. Trade routes, war doctrines, and forgotten technologies bend the Viking Age in terrifying new directions. The gods watch closely… and some are not pleased. Loki has already played his trick. Thor sees a challenger. Freyja sees potential—and desire. As war, conquest, politics, and passion intertwine, Anders builds a kingdom powerful enough to shake Asgard itself. Allies gather. Rivals fall. Bonds form with fierce shield-maidens, noble warriors, and dangerous women touched by fate—each drawn to the rising legend he is becoming. This is not a story of survival. It is a story of dominion. Reincarnation. A ruthless system. Norse gods and divine schemes. Kingdom building on the edge of myth. Power, loyalty, ambition—and desire. Valhalla was never meant to be earned like this.

In an age of blood, steel, and freezing spray, a Viking’s worth is measured by the swing of his axe. They are raiders. They are conquerors. They are the terror of the North. Ragnar, the eighteen-year-old bastard son of a starving chieftain, is none of these things. Just a month ago, he was a Senior Naval Architect in Seattle, designing high-efficiency cargo vessels. Now, he stands on a frozen fjord in 865 AD, facing a suicide mission to England that threatens to wipe out his village. Mocked for his refusal to raid and his obsession with "wizard words" like logistics and drag coefficients, Ragnar is dismissed as a coward. But they are all wrong. Where they see a longship, he sees a displacement curve waiting to be optimized. Where they see a storm, he sees wind energy waiting to be harnessed. They say his methods are madness. Soon, they will realize that while they are playing at war, he is engineering an empire. -------- Disclaimer: *Kingdom Building & Tech-Uplift: MC uses modern engineering to revolutionize the Viking Age. *Weak-to-Strong: Starts as a despised bastard, progresses to a wealthy tycoon/warlord. *High Detail: Detailed descriptions of ship-building and primitive industrialization.
