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

Li Tang was reborn on the eve of the new millennium. He knew the trajectory of the mining market over the next twenty years, had the coordinates of every newly discovered supermine, and understood the intricate details of century-defining mergers between mining giants. While experts lamented that all the rich mines were in the hands of major players and that the giants were troubled by aging and depleting resources, turning from exploration to ruthless corporate takeovers... A group from the East kept working miracles—discovering deeply buried, shockingly rich mineral deposits again and again. From scorching deserts, frozen Arctic lands, and uninhabited primeval forests, they extracted tons of ore. Fully loaded cargo ships, the industrial lifeline, thundered across the seas toward the East. He had advanced exploration technology, wielded capital like a club, and maneuvered deftly through complex global politics—completely disrupting the mining industry's global landscape. When he speaks, the world listens. One foreign mining analyst exclaimed: “He is already the sole mining oligarch on Earth!” Thank you for the support, friends.

Jiro was just scrolling through some Naruto clips before bed, unaware that every edit was being simultaneously transmitted across all timelines of the Shinobi World. Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't bear to watch the replay of his own life. The Uchiha clan discovered their future of annihilation. Madara Uchiha fell silent as he watched "The Truth of the Infinite Tsukuyomi." Namikaze Minato trembled and wept as he read "The Life of Naruto." Naruto Uzumaki learned to form Rasengan ahead of time. Orochimaru, meanwhile, fell into deep contemplation while watching "The Complete Collection of Failed Immortality Experiments." When Jiro finally edited together his own imagined "Perfect Naruto Ending," the history of the entire Shinobi World veered irrevocably toward an unknown point of divergence.

Time Magazine once gave this review of a man: "Mr. Yang is a great inventor. The products he created changed how hundreds of millions live, work, and travel." "At the same time, his inventions created millions of jobs and made outstanding contributions to regional economies." ... Never would he have imagined—Yang Wendong, already a successful entrepreneur, would accidentally travel back to the 1950s. Given a second chance, he would once again rise from nothing, climb to the peak of this era, and build a century-spanning Chinese family empire.

In a galaxy where women rule and men are treated as second-class citizens, Lady Eva Aurelia Von Astra is known as the most hated woman in the Federation. As the daughter of the legendary business tycoon Celestia Von Astra and the feared Poison King Darius Von Astra, Eva possessed wealth, power, and influence beyond imagination. Yet her arrogance, cruelty, and obsession with control earned her countless enemies—including her three husbands, who suffered under her domestic abuse and grew to despise her. Then one day, everything changed. After a mysterious accident, a young woman named Eva awakens in the villainess's body with no memories of her past and no knowledge of the world she now inhabits. Surrounded by people who hate her and burdened by the sins of a woman she doesn't remember being, Eva finds herself struggling to survive. To make matters worse, House Astra has fallen from its former glory. Betrayed by those they once trusted, her parents have lost everything and are now living in poverty while powerful enemies wait for the perfect opportunity to destroy them completely. With three husbands who distrust her, a broken family to protect, and a society built on discrimination and hidden corruption, Eva must uncover the truth behind the villainess's past while rebuilding House Astra from the ashes. But as long-buried secrets begin to surface, Eva discovers that the original owner may not have been the monster everyone believed her to be. In a world where power determines fate and love is the rarest treasure of all, can a woman with no memories save a family that isn't hers, earn the trust of three men who hate her, and change a galaxy determined to remain the same? Or will the sins of the villainess consume her before she learns the truth?

Lucas transmigrates to a parallel world and is thrilled to discover that many of the classic, brilliant games from his past life don’t exist here. Eager to make his mark, he’s also burdened with an "Emotion Collection System"—where players’ emotions like joy, sorrow, excitement, fear, and anger from his games make him stronger. But why is it so much easier to harvest resentment than happiness? Staring at his point earnings, Lucas is utterly baffled. And so, his career as a game designer takes a… creative turn. In Undertale, players slam their desks and scream: "I’m the one being played by this game!" In Outlast, players shriek: "The locker moved! I quit—NOPE!" In Dark Souls, players cheerfully boot up the game, only to beg: "Leave the Fire Keeper and GET OUT! Take your damn flame with you—we refuse to link it!" In Call of Duty, Soap, Roach, and Ghost meet tragic ends; in Final Fantasy VII, Zack falls in battle and Aerith meets her fate; in Red Dead Redemption, Arthur and John are betrayed… Players collectively rage: "DAMN YOU, LUCAS, YOU SADISTIC OLD FOX! CAN’T YOU BE KINDA TO YOUR PROTAGONISTS?!" When asked by a reporter how he feels about players’ fury, LUCAS smiles faintly: "This isn’t hatred—it’s the world’s players urging me forward! This is LOVE! Thank you all; I’ll keep up the good work!"

A kaiju ate me alive. I felt my ribs go one at a time. Then something in the dark of its gut decided I was not finished. It started my heart with a hand that was not mine, and I walked out of the corpse on my own two feet, the only person who ever has. That was the night she bought the rights to whatever I had become. One screen. One subscriber. The screen is my life, live and uncut. The subscriber is her, and she pays whatever it costs to keep the feed running: every fight, every wound, every hour I lose to the thing growing up the inside of my spine. When I run, the money finds me. When I bleed, the bid climbs. The Defense Force has me filed as a contaminant. The corporations want me as their next headliner. She understood the part both of them missed: the stronger the parasite makes me, the less of me is left. Every night, behind one glowing screen, the woman who calls herself my sponsor watches me turn into the thing that killed me. She has never once looked away.

This novel might not be the same as the usual ones you've been reading as the first few chapters are not action pack but used to set the tone for the entire novel, so if you are patient and continue to read, it is promised to be a novel you well enjoy on the long run. And please you might notice some grammatical errors, still finding an editor to help me with that and I will continue refining it until it gets better. --------------- We all are on the journey of fate. While it might seem difficult for you to transverse and easy for others, the most important is the choices we make. Our choices shape our paths, whether it's going to be downward slope or a journey up a steep mountain, a desert land or a wilderness. We all have a destination, which is to achieve the dream we conceived at the beginning of the journey. The question here is, who will be able to walk the journey to the end, who will deviate and who will stay on course? NB: This novel is not a single lead novel, though we have one main lead that stood at the forefront of the novel, they are other characters who share in the same light with him, so expect multiple heroes and heroine that resonate with you.

Rikishu Kairo was the strongest Upbringer of his era-until the day he vanished in battle and was declared dead. Years later, the Upbringers' Citadel still honours his name, unaware that Echo-the legend they buried-never truly disappeared. Royoshi Kairo is nothing like him. Accidentally recruited into the Citadel, Royoshi is average at best, unmotivated, and ranked far below his peers. He doesn't chase power, recognition, or even love. He simply exists-unnoticed, unremarkable, and unprepared. Until the day he nearly dies. When a mysterious hologram saves him from the brink of death, Royoshi meets a man who refuses to give his name-yet knows him better than anyone ever has. The hologram senses within Royoshi a dormant force called Shuryoku, a potential so vast it has gone completely ignored. As Royoshi is drawn into secret training guided by a legend the world believes is dead, a greater threat begins to stir. Sevran Axiom, a man who believes potential must be claimed by force, sees Royoshi not as a person, but as unfinished property. Caught between a mentor who waits and a villain who demands, Royoshi must confront the one thing he has always avoided: Trying.

In a future where Earth has been devastated by an alien invasion, humanity’s survival hangs in the balance. Daniel-Lee Viret, a 42-year-old carpenter and visionary tech genius, finds himself at the heart of a clandestine resistance—an effort to reclaim the planet and secure a future for humankind. Once captured and exploited by the extraterrestrial conquerors, Daniel refuses to accept a fate dictated by alien overlords and corrupt elites. Instead, he seizes a mysterious, otherworldly device that appears in his workshop, unlocking latent human potential and granting him access to advanced knowledge from popular sci-fi sources.Empowered by this newfound system and a powerful brain-enhancing elixir called NZT-50, Daniel begins to craft a revolutionary blueprint for technological salvation. His goal is to develop breakthrough innovations—flying cars, teleporters, AI companions, and energy sources capable of harnessing zero-point energy—all designed to prepare Earth for the impending invasion and to resist the oppressive alien regime. But the path is treacherous. The world’s powerful corporations, government agencies, and rogue factions see his advancements as threats, willing to kill or sabotage to maintain control.As Daniel builds his fledgling empire from the ground up, he assembles a team of trusted allies: his brilliant younger brother Jo-ash, a prodigy engineer; Denver, a visionary designer with dreams of futuristic vehicles; and Nikki, a scientist specializing in energy systems. Together, they establish secret bases across South Africa, hidden from prying eyes, functioning as command centers and training facilities. Their efforts are shadowed by enemies—corporate spies, mercenaries, and alien agents—who seek to steal or destroy their innovations.Amidst this chaos, Daniel’s system reveals a darker truth: a covert group of mercenaries and rival corporations working in the shadows, attempting to infiltrate and cripple his operations. The stakes escalate as the alien threat intensifies—strange ships in orbit, energy signatures rising, and strange phenomena signaling an imminent full-scale invasion. Daniel’s drive to innovate is matched by his need for strategic defense, leading to the creation of autonomous robots, secret safe zones, and a covert resistance network prepared to fight from the shadows.Despite the peril, hope persists. Daniel’s vision extends beyond mere survival—he aims to rebuild humanity's resilience and autonomy. His creations, like the friendly yet formidable Baymax robots and advanced VR training grounds, serve as symbols of a new dawn—tools to empower people and push the boundaries of human capability.As the world teeters on the brink of war, Daniel’s ultimate challenge becomes clear: rally humanity, outsmart the alien invaders, and forge a future where hope and innovation prevail over darkness and despair. His journey is one of resilience, ingenuity, and unwavering resolve—a fight not just for survival but for the rebirth of a better world."Shadows of Tomorrow" is a gripping tale of technological revolution, resistance, and the indomitable spirit of humanity in the face of extraterrestrial and corporate tyranny. It explores themes of hope, sacrifice, and the power of human ingenuity—reminding us that even in the darkest times, a second chance can spark the dawn of a new era.
