Flame demons destroyed city after city made of steel and concrete, calmly departing from the center of nuclear explosions... Alien gods attempted to rule the entire galaxy... This is a future world where human technology is highly advanced. It is also an era that sparked a frenzy of Life Evolution in the Martial Path. Li Yuan, a Martial Path student on the verge of taking his college entrance exams, struggled to advance in this world while harboring the peculiar Divine Palace capable of envisioning the galaxy. Years later. "My current flying speed is 122,682 meters per second, and my power burst is..." Li Yuan flew at extreme speeds through the atmosphere about 180 kilometers above the surface of Blue Star, his cold eyes fixed on the massive creature at the dark void's edge, resembling the mythological dragon: "You, must be the strongest among all the invading Demigod life forms." "It's just unfortunate that I can now be called... Martial God!"

His ambition: Become the space pirate with the highest bounty offered by the Universal Federation Government. With the help of Neptune, a neonate super-intelligence, Guding finds himself thrust into a galaxy of shadowy organizations, political under dealings, and otherworldly forces that lie beyond human comprehension…

Dreams are… a reality that only those who are capable can speak about. This was an era marked by the births of geniuses! This was an era where heroes could be found everywhere! The fierce conflict between the aristocrats and the civilians, the open and veiled battles between the Federation and the Empire, the restlessly lurking extraterrestrials… When the principles of truth were within the range of battleship cannons, when order had no place in this world… Mu Fan, with the mysterious intelligent life “Black” and his unwavering will, fiercely tore open the magnificent Great Galaxy Era!

In the neon of blue and purple, under the thick steel sky, at the forefront of this surge of data, lies the world post-tech revolution. It's also the dividing line between reality and illusion. Steel and flesh, past and future. In this place, the world outside and inside coexist. Everything in front of us feels like a wall of time within reach. The darkness is slowly creeping in. But hey, my friend, you gotta know, we can't just counter darkness with softness. Gotta use fire.

The world was no longer the same, not after being crippled and devastated by the calamity that was the Third World War. Million deaths, both military and civilian. Countless families were left broken and displaced. Towns were laid to waste, ravaged by bombs and artillery. Multiple cities were wiped off the world’s map by bioengineered weapons and nuclear bombs. Nations weakened, broken, divided. Old empires collapsed, and new ones were born and baptised by the ashes of war. In the wake of the war, international criminal organizations formed, pirate groups powerful enough to control entire regions of the ocean and terrorize even naval forces, and corporations and secret societies took advantage of the fragile new world to further their ambitions. To combat the new world’s threats, various Private Military Companies formed all around the globe, offering their services to any nation with enough capital but not enough military power to deal with the plethora of threats. This gave rise to the new age of PMC and Mercenaries. My Phan, birthed by a human-trafficked mother, raised in captivity, and later rescued by a PMC, but not before witnessing her mother’s death. Adopted by the man who rescued her. My was raised and guided to be a PMC soldier when she became of age.

Follow My (Maple) Phan as she battles against criminal syndicates, pirate overlords, corporate tyrannies, and monsters lurking within secret societies all around the world. *********************** Crossposting on Webnovel, Royal Road, Scribblehub, and Wattpad.

Every character mentioned is fictional. Expect lots of lore and alternative timeline world-building, action scenes, accurate tactical actions mixed with gun-fu, and sexy times. The lead MC is a bisexual female with a poly relationship down the line (NOT HAREM, everyone in the relationship has connections to everyone else).

Updates on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. In the 36th century, humanity rules the solar system. War, poverty, and scarcity are relics of a distant past. Cities hum with limitless energy. Hunger and illiteracy have been engineered out of existence. Society is stable and prosperous. But peace has its own consequences. In a world without scarcity, conflict becomes ideology. Extremist sects and insurgent movements rise in the vacuum, threatening the fragile order billions now take for granted. Stretch is a marshal — one of the elite civil enforcers tasked with preserving stability across the system. Analytical, disciplined, and dangerously adaptive in combat, he believes in the structure he was raised in. Until a new organization emerges. One unlike the others. Their methods targeted and precise. Their goals unclear. As attacks escalate and loyalties fracture, Stretch finds himself pushed beyond protocol, beyond rank, and beyond certainty as he tries to protect all that matters to him. Warning: Some gore, violence and the occasional swear word. Updates on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. Cover art from gt39 on Pixabay

“No… do you really know that music can express what words cannot? That behind every note, every chord, every silence, there are emotions even the most honest conversations cannot reach? My name is Lucy. I am a guitarist and singer, and music is my truest language. With Mathieu and Lisa, my best friend and former companion, we form a trio capable of everything: from electric rock to pop rhythms, from acoustic ballads to afro-electro sounds. Every piece we play reflects our joys, our sorrows, our secrets, and our dreams. But music doesn’t just reveal our emotions: it also uncovers what we fear to say aloud. Between laughter and tears, between awkwardness and complicity, every rehearsal, every concert, and every contest becomes a confession, a challenge, and a moment of truth. Throughout our journey, you will discover our wounds, our friendships, our fragile dreams, and our secret loves. You will hear what we never dared to speak, but what we sing through every chord, every note, every lyric.

I have been reborn in France, and luckily, I have the identity of the Crown Prince. The downside is that the current king is Louis XVI, and in two years, he will be guillotined. Since my father and the ministers can’t be trusted, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands and reorganize France myself. First, I’ll make some money, just enough to solve the financial crisis that has plagued the country for centuries. Then, I’ll strike hard at the nobles with ill intentions who seek to usurp power. After that, I’ll seize the vast lands held by the church, which sits idle. Industry, technology, agriculture, and commerce will thrive together. I will be the greatest Crown Prince France has ever seen! Thank you for the support, friends. If you want to read more chapters in advance, go to my Patreon.

The protagonist didn’t end up as Shepard at all—so why does everyone know him as John Shepard? Because sticking close to the canon is profitable. Sure, it’s dangerously profitable, but when you’re in the thick of events, you at least have a rough idea of what’s coming next. That’s what John tells himself, anyway. Except he forgot something important: he isn’t Shepard. He carries the name, but he’s… What his real surname is—and what kind of trouble that truth will bring— you’ll find out in this book. Or maybe he’ll manage to squeeze a few perks out of it. *** Read over 100 chapters ahead and stay 12+ months in front of public releases — all early chapters are waiting for you on my Patreon: Granulan

In a universe where worlds are not conquered—but earned—humanity survives by turning planets into battlegrounds. Every world is ranked. Every creature evolves. Every victory reshapes the stars. And at sixteen, every citizen must enter the system… or be left behind. David Wyn was never meant to stand out. The son of independent explorers, he was raised on the edges of civilization—taught how to observe, adapt, and survive. But when his parents vanish on a volatile world called Verdalis, they leave behind something far more dangerous than answers: A book that should not exist. A voice that should not speak. And a system that does not belong to any known bloodline. At the Academy—the proving ground for humanity’s future—power is everything. The Twelve rule by lineage. Heirs bend elements, command shadows, and carry legacies written in conquest. And those without a crest? They’re expected to fall in line… or fall behind. David does neither. When his awakening is masked as a failure, he becomes invisible to the very system that defines strength. But hidden power doesn’t stay hidden. Not when monsters evolve mid-battle. Not when planets shift under the weight of a single decision. And not when the strongest bloodlines begin to notice… something is wrong. On Kharos Vale, a training mission turns into a nightmare. A predator consumes its own kind and becomes something greater. An ecosystem begins to spiral. And David makes a choice that changes everything. He doesn’t fight to win. He fights to stop collapse. Now the system is watching. The heirs are questioning. And something older than the Concord has begun to stir. Because David wasn’t chosen by lineage. He wasn’t granted power. He was permitted. And in a universe where strength determines who owns entire worlds— David Wyn may become the one thing no system can classify.

Lin Haoran was reborn in 1978 Hong Kong, becoming a wealthy young heir. At this time, the glory of the British financial consortiums was beginning to fade, while Chinese capital was rising rapidly like bamboo after the rain, starting to shine on the international stage.

So, with growing strength, Lin Haoran set his sights on the leading British trading firm—Jardine Matheson... Thank you for the support, friends.
