A thousand years later, he awakens reincarnated as Espen Trueblade, a ten-year-old boy from the auxiliary line of the very hero he died protecting, only to discover that Ender's party failed, vanishing before completing their quest, and now thirteen demon kings plague the world instead of twelve. Trapped in a child's body but carrying decades of combat experience, Espen must hide his true capabilities while preparing for the brutal Grand Assessment that will determine his fate within the Trueblade family.

I've uploaded this to Royal Road as well. No system or anything. Just improving implants and growing experience. Chapters range from 1000-1500 words.  Honest reviews are appreciated. I need at least 10 for the rating to show. I finish a chapter like once or twice per week, but I am a student so the schedule might not be as solid as I'd want it to be.

Genso is a 21-year-old man who has had a strange and mysterious ability since he was a child. He can see events that no one else can, but only when he is under stress or pressure. Sometimes his visions come true, but other times they do not. The events he sees are often about the near future or important moments that can be dangerous or affect people around him. He does not know where this power comes from. Is it a gift or a curse? Does it come from inside him, or from some unknown force controlling his fate? Gensu often feels confused. He does not know if he should believe what he sees or ignore it. He also struggles to decide if he should act to change what he sees or do nothing. Every vision makes him ask the same question: should he try to change the future, or let things happen as they will?

Avery Asteria was far from having anyone's dream job. Family circumstances had him drop out of school and flying around the expanse of space looking for treasure among the discarded trash in an old ship his father had been restoring.

Leo had a problem. Don't be like Leo! It wasn't that he was poor. It wasn't that he was unlucky. It was that he had been cursed, or blessed by the Accidental Tycoon System. The rules were deceptively simple. Any money he lost on an investment would be returned to him, doubled. And any money he gained, aside from system reimbursement couldn't be used by him on himself. His life's new mission was crystal clear. He had to go bankrupt. In a high-tech world of S-Rank Heroes, magic, and newly-contacted alien civilizations, this should have been the easiest thing to achieve in the galaxy. He just had to become the biggest, most spectacular loser the universe had ever seen. So, he tried. Oh, how he tried... He threw billions at publishing a dungeon guide written by a 10-year-old. The maps were in crayon, and it listed the final boss as a Big Grumpy Badger. [Breaking: New S-Rank dungeon called 'The Whispering Labyrinth' appears! All high-tech mapping drones fail. A lost F-Rank porter used the crayon guide... and it's 100% accurate. The final boss is a 50-foot divine badger. The Galactic Union has declared the guide a 'holy text' for exploration!] He bought the galaxy's most useless moon, planning to build a 'Museum of Paint'. [Alert: Ancient magical ley-lines discovered under the moon's surface! It's the only place in the universe that can safely grow the 'Star-Lotus,' the key ingredient for immortality!] To the Intergalactic Hero's Guild, the Magic Academies, and the Alien Federations, Leo was the god of investment whose every move was like 5D chess that ordinary people couldn't understand. Heroes would soar with his sponsorship. Alien emperors offered him their daughters' hands in marriage for a single 'tip'. But Leo just stared at his bank account, which now displayed his wealth that he couldn't use on himself, with tears streaming down his face. "Please," he cried, "I'm trying to fail! Why won't you just let me be poor?!"

Fifty years after the Battle of Yavin, the galaxy finds itself in a fragile state of recovery. Scarred by the Yuuzhan Vong War and Darth Caedus’s reign, countless worlds and individuals struggle to rebuild from decades of devastation. Amid the fractured alliances of the reformed New Republic, the Imperial Remnants, and independent coalitions, the Jedi Order stands as a beacon of hope. On Yavin 4, the Jedi Temple serves as a sanctuary for Force-sensitive children, offering them a chance to heal and find purpose. Among the new arrivals is Kael Varo, formerly Kael Valtherion, a boy who abandoned his Imperial noble heritage to embrace the path of the Jedi. Alongside him is Vila Saresh, a twi'lek freed from slavery, haunted by her past but determined to find a brighter future. As these Padawans confront their own traumas, they uncover the lingering echoes of ancient threats: Sith artifacts, Yuuzhan Vong technology, and the ideological scars left by Darth Caedus, still twisting others, even after his death. Guided by the wisdom of Grandmaster Luke Skywalker, the young Jedi must learn that being a Jedi is not merely about mastering the Force but about finding unity and courage in a galaxy still divided. ------ Author's notes: Hey-ho people! Welcome to my Star Wars fanfiction, which is told from a first-person point of view. For a bit of background information and what to expect, you must know a few things about me: My first introduction to Star Wars was on VHS, so I am not a newcomer to the setting. I was a child when there was only the trilogy and a teen when the prequels happened. I grew up reading the Expanded Universe and with the stories and exploits of Luke. This story of mine will take place in 50 ABY, right after the Expanded Universe mostly stopped producing stories. Writing it, anything that happened after the Disney acquisition is going to be ignored. This even includes the Mandalorian series because no matter how good the first season was, it was built on a foundation made out of sand. Proof: Book of Boba Fett and the third season. I'll try my very best to stay true to the original vision of what made Star Wars so captivating. Expect weekly chapters!

If becoming a “tool” is already an unchangeable and cruel destiny, then perhaps what’s even crueler— is to remain human through the process. The real world is destined to be imperfect, yet there are always those who refuse to be assimilated into that imperfection. They fight against fate with reason, with emotion, and with every purposeful act of labor. --- In the Year 4631 of the World Calendar, a middle-aged man, imprisoned in a foreign land for many years, finally returns to his homeland. That is where the story truly begins.

A cosmic court has condemned humanity. Seven immortal witnesses return to the dawn of civilization to prove — or disprove — its worth. Most fall. Power twists them into tyrants, idols, and architects of sterile utopias. Only one chooses another path. Across centuries, Enki walks among mortals unseen, planting knowledge instead of monuments, nurturing fragile lives instead of controlling them. He learns that meaning is not found in eternal empires, but in fleeting acts of grace — a hand lifted from mud, a garden built from flood-ruins, a child taught to listen to water. His defense is not glory. It is tenderness. It is persistence. It is humanity’s quiet refusal to stop loving, even knowing all things end. A mythic tale about time, loss, and choosing to build anyway. [Beneath the myth and the science fiction lies a simple, stubborn claim: this is not just a story. Enki was born in 2850 BC and has been carrying the memory ever since. The names are changed, the years shifted, the moons given new orbits, yet the resurrection happened, the desert temptation was real, the stone rolled away, and the Judge has been reigning ever since. Everything else — the Scrapbook, the 0.3%, the blind spot in the machine — is simply the record of those who kept looking up while the world looked down. Most have forgotten there is a sky vaster than any mind can hold, that Earth is a gift, not a possession, that God drew no borders and the birds still fly free without passports. Read it as fiction if you like. Some books are written so the truth can reach the few who still have ears to hear. This is one of them.] 2025 Mark Casa Nova (Original) You may share, translate, adapt, illustrate, animate, film, or perform this work freely — even commercially — on one unbreakable condition: Do not change the lesson. The resurrection happened. The stone was rolled away. Grace is real, borders are not, and the birds still fly free. Everything else — style, medium, language — is yours to play with. The core is not. That’s all I ask. [Mark K. Carlos]

Do you believe in the Imperial Truth? I admire the first person to make a deal with the Four Gods; they might even end up paralyzed on the toilet. Yellow-skinned man, when I build the Warp Pump, I'll definitely make you awaken. Those who awaken will eventually step down from the Golden Throne. Finally, let me say this: technology is accelerating! 'Solar Tomahawk', 'Thor Mech', 'Arc Generator', 'Hyperspace Rail', 'Warp Drive', 'Cybercles', 'Aether Phase Drive', 'The Reincarnation of the Om Messiah'. That's all—'Made in Stellaris!' Serious version: Leon, who traveled to the remote Warhammer of the M32 era, became a soulless being. With the knowledge he had gained from many other science fiction works before his travels, he transformed himself into a priest of the Mechanicum. While replicating the technologies of various other worlds in the Warhammer universe, he began to spread the light of reason brought by the truth and technology of the Empire in this cesspool of a universe. He punched the greenskins, kicked the Chaos, gathered the traitor legions, and reshaped the future of mankind... In theory, this is how it should have been. Looking at the closed gate of the Terra Palace in front of him, Leon said with tears in his eyes: "Open the door! I really am here to save the Emperor from the toilet!"

In 2042, fifteen years after the Red Ash Catastrophe turned Earth into a crimson desert, Kalen Voss is a ghost of the wastelands—lean, sharp-eyed, and haunted by a promise. His mother, a UN medic, died saving scavengers from radiation wolves, whispering one final plea: “Find the North Star Outpost. It has the meds. It has the truth.” His father followed, sacrificing himself to a sandworm to let Kalen escape. Now, Kalen treks toward the Ninth Safe Zone, armed with a car-spring machete and his mother’s Serbian medical emblem, determined to honor their legacy.​ But the Ninth Safe Zone is no refuge. Ruled by Blackstone Security, a ruthless group led by Victor Kim, it’s a den of corruption: Victor sells fake antibiotics laced with sawdust to dying scavengers, while his enforcer Tyson (a 6’5” brute with tattooed skulls) hunts anyone who protests. To infiltrate Blackstone and steal clues to the North Star Outpost, Kalen fakes loyalty—risking his life to uncover Victor’s lies.​ He doesn’t fight alone. He teams with Rico, a quick-witted Mexican smuggler who owes him a debt; Zoe, a rebel doctor grieving her sister’s death from Victor’s fake meds; Lena, a journalist hiding footage of Victor bribing government officials; and Masoud, an Iranian ex-medic who knew Kalen’s mother—and has a map to the outpost… if Kalen helps him reclaim stolen medical supplies. Together, they raid Blackstone’s warehouses, expose the fake pill racket, and discover a chilling truth: Victor is also hunting the North Star Outpost, eager to monopolize its untainted meds and rule the wastelands.​ By Chapter 20, the stakes explode. Kalen’s team blows up Victor’s fake pill stockpiles, but Tyson’s men ambush them. As they flee the Safe Zone, Kalen learns the outpost holds more than meds—it’s home to a vaccine that could heal the radiation-scarred earth. But Victor’s forces already have its coordinates. Will Kalen reach the outpost first… or die trying?​ Every chapter ends with a knife-edge cliffhanger—will Zoe’s radiation cure work? Can Lena leak her footage before Blackstone kills her? For fans of The Hunger Games (rebellion) and Mad Max (gritty survival), this is your next obsession. Subscribe now to see if Kalen keeps his promise… or if the wastelands claim him.

Set in a futuristic Earth of 2132, humanity coexists uneasily with a newly emerged species called the Sellardraxians. These humanoid beings possess unique, mythical abilities, and their existence stirs both awe and prejudice among humans. "Save the last bullet for me" is the last line of the oath of the United Nations Strategic Security Department (UNSSD)‘s Special Operations, a phrase too familiar to Sean, officially designated Artemis 9, one of the members of Squad Artemis, elite supersoldiers that form the tip of the spear of the UNSSD--- that is, until his mistake caused the death of his teammate and he retired from service. Suddenly, he is given a second chance to re-enlist. Torn between his self-hate and the call of duty, Sean is forced to confront his demons, and take care of his new comrades, all the while sitting on the unstable peace and prosperity of Earth in a Galaxy on the brink of war...

Chen Gu has transmigrated to a future world where some have superpower. They could release nuclear blasts barehanded; manipulate quantum teleportation to achieve instantaneity; exhale particle winds that could melt metal like dragons; and control human thoughts as a hacker does computers... But the first thing Chen needs to deal with is that he somehow has a forty-year-old son. "Are you saying... you are my father?" "No, I am your son."
