Lyra thought she was just a survivor—an orphan scraping by in the shadows of a kingdom at war. But the night she’s captured by Raiden, the infamous Dragon Prince of the Fire Nation, everything changes. He is ruthless, dangerous, and devastatingly magnetic. She is sharp-tongued, stubborn, and hiding a secret even she doesn’t fully understand. Together, they are forced into a journey of trials, quests, and betrayals—where every step pulls them deeper into danger… and closer to each other. As Lyra’s hidden powers awaken with terrifying force, Raiden becomes the only one who can push her through the fire without letting it consume her. But passion is as dangerous as battle, and the storm building between them may be the greatest threat of all. As kingdoms march to war and enemies close in from every side, Lyra and Raiden are forced into a dangerous bond—one that blurs the line between hatred and desire. But the deeper their connection grows, the more perilous the truth becomes… Because falling for the Dragon Prince might not just break her heart. It might burn the world to ash. Steamy tension. Fierce banter. Heartfelt moments. Deadly quests. In a world on the brink of ruin, Lyra and Raiden must decide if their bond is a curse… or the only thing strong enough to save them both.

"Truly, anything can be a blade if you imagine it hard enough." An ancient war. Ordinary modern humans are chosen by the spirits of knights from history and legend, endowed with magical powers, and made to fight for their respective factions to repay an ultimate debt. This event is known as the "Great Redemption." To save France from catastrophic financial collapse and imminent destruction at the hands of England, an ordinary boy named Sustrous Aron is conscripted into the world's most dangerous economic game. To make matters worse, the battlefield is his own hometown: Shukufuku City, Japan. The soul that took up residence within him did not belong to a god-like hero. Instead, he was chosen by the Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance—Don Quixote, the weakest knight in history. And the reason for this selection was utterly absurd... It was a shared, burning hatred for wind turbines!

An ordinary young man lives his life day to day, without going through any unusual experiences. He hasn't achieved anything remarkable. He has a job like any other, has a couple of close friends, but being in a similar situation, they can't go out and enjoy themselves, and he hasn't had a girlfriend. However, his life suddenly changes. He falls ill. He doesn't know if his destiny was to spend the rest of his life in a hospital, or if he would be able to recover from this illness and return to his tortuous life. But karma changes his destiny and reincarnates him in a new world, or rather, an alternate Earth. In this new world, he must start from scratch, and not just rhetorically. He must lead the village hidden in the mountains where he was reborn through a complete transformation if he wants to survive the challenges he will face in the future. Not only must he face small local villages, but he must also grow up between two great empires, only to be able to face a power greater than those lands have ever seen. The Arrival of the Colonizers. . ---- . This is a novel where the protagonist is reborn in one of the pre-Hispanic peoples, in present-day Colombia, a few years before the arrival of the Conquistadors of America. He must grow his people from a much less developed one, compared to the European powers of the time, to a kingdom capable of defending its territory from the many encounters with ships from the Atlantic. The initial development will be quite rapid and will be based on the protagonist as the leader of a new kingdom, bringing basic technologies from the future. The protagonist will have a harem, which is part of the customs of this people. In case you want to look it up, the people are called "Muiscas." I suggest using the Spanish language on Wikipedia and then translating it into your language with the translator available on your device, as the information is much more complete in this language. Also, I would like to clarify, as a curious fact, that it is thanks to this people that the legend of "El Dorado" is known. . ---- .

Hello. I am Iwasawa Hiroshi, a normal 16-year old teenager who suddenly woke up in this weird world that looks like feudal japan. With no memories save for some things that I feel strangely knowledgable about, I just wanted to live a normal and quiet country-side life as a doctor. Or atleast that was the plan... "Huh?" "All Hail our new Daimyo! Lord Iwasawa Hiroshi!" "Banzai!!!" And so, it has started... I Became a Sengoku Lord!

10/07/2018 (This is an original story that came from my wild imagination.) I will be posting this story at Royalroad. I am Riku Minaru, 50 years old and died with a tumor, I had died with no regret, hoping for a peaceful rest. But before my life fades away I heard a voice. [System initiating a connection to the host, processing complete] HUH?! WAIT! WHAT? SYSTEM? WTF! ( Author: This story is full of nonsense so if you want to read then read in your own risk, and I might add up that English is not my first language so please if there's an error don't hate me.) ;p

"This is a world-first story. The history is the story. Stay with it." The world has ended before. Not in myth. Not in metaphor. It ended completely — gods unmade reality reaching for something they were never meant to hold, and existence corrected itself the only way it knows how. It took fifty thousand years to forget. Another hundred thousand to rebuild. It is about to happen again. This is not one story. It is many — stitched together across millennia, told through the eyes of those who lived inside a world that carries its own wounds forward. A nameless being waking in a summoning circle, learning what it means to exist. A woman who hesitated when she should have fought, and traded a year of her life for knowledge that is quietly unmaking her. A girl in an apothecary being handed a promise she doesn't yet understand. They do not know each other. Not exactly. But the world remembers. It always remembers. Stay long enough and you will see how the threads connect — how every choice echoes, how every name given in love becomes a weight carried forward, how the pattern emerging beneath the history is not a mystery to be solved but a wound that never fully closed. Knowledge is the weapon. History is the scar. And somewhere in the silence between chapters — You will realize you already care.

A girl was born with a spirit that wants to explore and run the world, but is cursed with a dying body. The three goddesses pitied the girl and gave her a new life. But this time, the world isn’t what she had known, and she’s no longer a human! She is now a Uma! She wants to run and show the world who the legend is. With the system designed and created by the three goddesses, she makes her way up from the bottom to the peak! Watch out, world! For I, the Echo Eclipse, am here. Chase after my shadow and watch me run! [Currently developing the story] [The story takes place at the same time Symboli Rudolf enrolled on Tracen Academy. There aren't many comics depicting what Rudolf went through, so I had to research the races she ran in real life, her personality and the relationship she had before becoming Triple Crown Champion. I have to take a guess from the lines in the game and in the Cinderella Gray Manga. So you'll have to forgive me if I got something wrong during the time Symboli Rudolf was active.]

Genghis Khan conquered the world with fire and blood. His name shattered kingdoms, erased borders, and terrified continents. His empire stretched farther than any before it. Yet after his death, that vast dominion didn't stand as one. Brothers turned against brothers. Sons against uncles. The greatest empire in history fractured, piece by piece, until only its legend remained. A modern soldier opens his eyes on the frozen steppe, surrounded by blood, steel, and screaming horses. He has been reborn as Batu Khan, grandson of Genghis, heir to the western armies of the Mongol Empire. And he knows what awaits him. He knows the Mongols will reach Europe, then retreat. He knows the empire will tear itself apart over succession. He knows history will squander this unmatched momentum. He refuses that future. With modern knowledge of warfare, logistics, and statecraft, Batu begins reshaping the western frontier. From tribal bloodshed to imperial ambition, from the steppes to the heart of Europe, he will carve a new destiny. Not as a loyal prince of a dying empire, but as the Great Khan of the West. ---------------------- 50 Power Stones = 1 Bonus chapter! 50 Golden Tickets = 3 Bonus Chapters!

--- She lived for everyone else. She died for no one. Vivienne spent her entire life pouring herself empty — working herself to the bone so her ungrateful siblings, Rosalind and Caspian, could live in comfort they never earned. No rest. No dreams. No one to call her own. Then, at twenty-six, her body simply… gave out. She expected nothing after death. No heaven, no second chances — just silence. But a god named Valdris has other plans. Reborn as the daughter of a powerful noble house in a glittering medieval empire, Vivienne wakes up in a gilded cradle with chubby baby hands, a doting nanny named Cecile, and absolutely zero patience for starting over. This time, she has made herself one promise: this life belongs to her. No sacrificing. No giving until there is nothing left. No falling for anyone who doesn't deserve it. The only problem? Alaric — the coldest, most untouchable duke in the entire empire — seems to have not received that particular memo. He doesn't smile. He doesn't bend. He has never, in all his years, looked twice at anyone. Until her. It wasn't supposed to happen. He wasn't supposed to notice her. And she was absolutely, certainly, definitely not supposed to feel anything about it. But fate, as it turns out, has never once cared about her plans. --- Tags: #Transmigration #Reincarnation #MedievalFantasy #SlowBurn #ColdMaleLead #AngstyRomance #HappyEnding #NobleHeroine #SecondChanceAtLife

Legends of the sea.

Excerpt... Henry’s hand shot out, closing around her arm, firmly enough that her breath caught. “Stay…” He stood beside her, close enough that she could feel him without touching him. “I…” Livia’s voice broke before it found strength. “I didn’t flee.” She still would not fully look at him. Her eyes remained on Bella. “This is not my fault,” she whispered. “No,” Henry said at once. “It isn’t.” He looked away, then back at her. “Do you love him, Livia?” “Please,” she cried. “Stop calling me that.” “Do you love him?” he asked. “Yes,” she said. “So soon after me?” he asked. “I thought we…” He stopped. “I assumed you…” “That I what?” Livia asked, her voice trembling. “That I loved you? Henry…” she began then she caught herself. “Your Highness. I did seek solace in your arms... Yes. I will not lie about that. I wanted you. I trusted you. In a sea of sharks and wolves, you were the safest thing I could find.” Her eyes filled again. “You made me feel as though I could breathe. Turns out, you are no better.” “Why?” Henry asked quietly. “Because I am the king?” “Because you lied to me. You let me trust a man who did not exist.” “I existed.” “Henry the merchant existed because you created him.” “For good reasons, I had to keep my identity hidden,” Henry said. “The king moving around London without security,” he continued, “what do you think would happen?” “You speak as though I was asking you to announce yourself in the middle of Cheapside with trumpets and a crown. It doesn’t matter anymore,” Livia said, looking away from him. “I am getting married.” “Yes,” Henry said, the word leaving him like a blade drawn from flesh. “To my best friend. Did you tell him?” Henry asked. Livia’s brows drew together. “Tell him what?” “That I fucked you. Did you tell him I was your first? Did you tell him you once trusted me? That you once promised yourself to me because you thought I was the safest thing in your miserable world?” “That is not fair.” “Then tell me is it fair that Richard gets to call you his intended while I stand here pretending I do not know the sound of your moan? Is it fair that he holds your hand while I cannot even say your name without ruining you?” “Please stop.” “Did you tell him,” Henry pressed, unable to stop himself now, “that you were mine before you were ever his?” “How could I?” she asked, the words breaking. “I did not even know who you were.” “Then let me ask you this,” he said, leaning down just a little, his lips a hair’s breath from hers. “Has he fucked you? Has he touched what is mine?” ..... Sold into slavery and trapped in the brutal underworld of London, Livia Valenti is placed on the auction block. She makes a desperate choice and places her fate in the hands of the mysterious man who once caught her stealing. She does not know he is the King of England. Then comes Richard, Duke of Kingsmere willing to offer Livia the one thing Henry cannot easily give her— a future outside the shadows. Caught between the king who awakened her heart and the duke who may be her safest escape, Livia is pulled into a dangerous court. Livia becomes Diana Bellamy, the woman another man intends to wed, King Henry must decide how far a king can go before love becomes scandal, obsession, and war. From the author who brought you: 1.

A thousand years of history. One infinite library. No way home. When a modern-day engineer wakes up in the damp, freezing solar of a 12th-century manor, he finds himself trapped in the body of Thomas, a minor noble with a failing reputation and a wife who despises him. He has no magic system, no leveling up, and no celestial guide. All he has is the smartphone in his pocket—invisible to everyone else, perpetually charged, and still connected to the internet of 2026. In a world where a simple infection is a death sentence and the Church’s word is law, Thomas must use the sum of human knowledge to survive. From implementing basic germ theory to discovering hidden silver veins and forging high-carbon steel, he begins a quiet revolution from the mud up.

I dream! Not of the future to be won, but the past I had lost—— . . . "You have a noble, inquiring mind, Your Highness!" "My mind inquires..." I was young enough then to think that people were books that wanted to be read. "...only to get a better understanding of you, My Lady." "While you're at it," she said, her elegant smile fixed even as she took a half-step back, "I advise you to cease marching any further." She said 'advice'...—beep... beep... beep! But it felt like a warning! My feet obeyed her and stopped, but my heart didn't. "Then, as per My Lady's command, I shall remain fixed at this post, until your words, I will know only what you choose to show me..." I thought it was the right choice only to let you drown in silence, "... Aurelia." . . . Snap! "You called for her again," said a woman in white coat. ——even before the beginning.
