But it's a training ground for child operatives. Raised in secrecy to kill, protect, and survive, its wards are sought out by those who fear gods and monsters. To the world, it's salvation and exploitation. To the children, it's home. And every night, as the rifts whisper, they wait for their next mission.

Robert Baratheon gave Jon Snow Dragonstone. One day, he may wish he hadn’t. For Ned Stark’s bastard, the island is a poisoned gift. An ancient castle, a thinly populated lordship, and responsibilities most grown men would struggle to shoulder. But Jon has already lived a grown man’s life. Behind the boy’s eyes are the memories of a naval veteran, an engineer, and a man who spent years studying the armies of Rome. Given a second life in Westeros, he sees possibilities in the land he has been granted. He also knows how much work it will take to make anything of them. That work begins in the North. Years before he leaves Winterfell, Jon starts gathering the people he will take south. Boys become the companions he grows up with and the soldiers he trains beside. Craftsmen struggle through unfamiliar designs while each successful venture pays for the next. Slowly, a household takes shape, built around a young lord whose knowledge is becoming increasingly difficult to explain. These are the people he intends to build Dragonstone with. He will need them, because arriving with a title and a head full of ideas will only get him so far. Beyond the island lies the Narrow Sea, the wealth of the Free Cities, and opportunities worth sailing for. Jon has plans for ships and harbours, for trade and an army of his own. As those plans grow, they will draw the interest of men who have spent their lives deciding what happens in Westeros. And beneath everything he builds is a secret that could bring them all to his door. His name is Aemon Targaryen. What to expect: ~ Jon Snow self-insert with an experienced adult mind ~ Slow-paced kingdom building, beginning with an extended childhood arc in the North ~ Household development, friendships, and earned loyalty ~ Industry, trade, and the practical work of running a lordship ~ Roman-inspired military training and warfare ~ Naval exploration and an expanding journey into Essos ~ Multiple points of view, political consequences, and growing magical elements

A STORY ABOUT A SIMPLE GUY THROWN INTO A WORLD OF BEASTS AND HIS SIMPLE MIND IS STRUGGLING WITH THE CONCEPT THAT HE'S DESTINED FOR POWER AND AUTHORITY.

Apocalypse descended, and humans were given a game-like system to defend themselves. At the age of 18, every teenager underwent an awakening ceremony—a chance to gain a class and access the First Sanctuary, where lives became currency and power was earned through blood. Moon appeared to be a failure. Branded as a Null during his awakening ceremony, he was abandoned by his girlfriend and cast aside by society as worthless and powerless. But fate had other plans. Moon awakened not one, but two unprecedented abilities that defied the world's understanding. ...... [Talent: Grim Reaper - Gain 5x lives from every kill] [Class: Classless - Whilst everyone is tied to a class from their birth, you are free from the restrictions of the system. You are able to learn any skill from any class based on your comprehension or from fruitful encounters.] ...... With the power to master any class and a talent that turned every kill into exponential strength, Moon set out from the bottom to prove the world wrong. In the First Sanctuary, where only the strongest survive, Moon would carve his path with blood and determination. Ascending from a worthless null to an existence beyond legend.

He woke up after two years… with no memories, no past— and a power that shouldn’t exist. When Viyen opens his eyes, even his own family feels like strangers. But something else wakes up with him— a dark energy crawling under his skin, reacting to his fear, anger, and dreams. Shadows move when he breathes. Storms answer when his heart races. And every time he touches something… he sees pieces of a life that isn’t his. A forgotten world. A dying mage. A voice calling his name from a place he has never been. As the visions grow stronger, a portal appears— the same portal that swallowed his family years ago. Now it’s opening again. If Viyen steps through, he may discover the truth behind the power inside him… or lose himself to it forever. The Power That Wasn’t Mine — A story where the past hunts him, and the future fears him.

Isaac has finally begun playing Lore of The Myst, an immersive VRMMO that's been out for nearly a year. After a rocky start, things take an interesting and mysterious turn when he has recently learned he is the Great Hero of an ancient prophecy. He learned of a Great Evil threatening the land, and has been given a map with the path to a relic containing some sort of Great Power, hidden away in an ancient tower. On his journey, his first stop leads him into an abandoned temple, where he discovers a stone imbued with an elemental power. [Stone of Destiny: Flame's Impulse obtained] -Rarity: Unknown -Item Origin: Unknown -Item Value: Unknown *No User Data for this item registered* Even stranger, the game guide holds no information on this item. If this is part of the game, why is there no information? It's part of the prophecy, no doubt, but is there a bigger story here?

[Warning: Mature content | Dark romance] Aliana Vanderbilt is the witty, fierce heiress to a multi-billion-dollar empire. She always lived life on her own terms, until one fateful night changed everything. After a brutal accident involving a "lost child" that only she could see, Aliana woke to a terrifying new reality. By day, she is haunted by restless spirits. By night, she is consumed by vivid, steamy dreams of a mysterious man with icy blue eyes. Her search for a solution comes to an abrupt halt when she finally comes face-to-face with Gavriel Valentine. An enigmatic man sitting at the pinnacle of a rival business empire. He is dominating, dangerous, and everything Aliana should avoid. Yet, he alone possesses the power to end her misery. Whenever she is near him, the ghosts vanish. Driven by a desperate need for peace, Aliana bulldozes into Gavriel’s life with a scandalous demand. However, what she does not expect is his counter-offer… that she must marry him. What happens when two strong-headed personalities are tied together in a sacred union? Will they find peace, or will it spell disaster? ..... Excerpt: “I warned you, didn’t I, Aliana?” His deep, masculine voice reverberated through the air like silk. Her name rolled off his sinful lips so seductively that it made her want to roll her eyes in reluctant delight. That thought alone made her brows knit in confusion until she heard him continue, “You step into my world, and I will ruin you in ways you never imagined.” Aliana shivered, not only at the warning he had given her far too many times, but also at the way his icy blue eyes pierced her so intensely that it felt as though she might burn and freeze all at once. Ignoring her thrumming heartbeat, she drew in a sharp breath and replied, “You did… but didn’t I say there is nothing I love more than a challenge? If you’re going to ruin me, Gavriel, at least make sure you’re the only one left standing when the dust settles.” His eyes widened ever so slightly before he rose from his armchair and padded across the carpet to stand right before her. The moment his fingers lifted to touch her chin, a jolt of electricity shot down her spine as he leaned in and said, “You want to play a dangerous game, Aliana…. and make no mistake, this devil loves to play.” Tilting her chin closer to his face, he whispered, “So here’s my offer, Aliana…. marry me.” .... The book cover is mine, don't use it.

The last thing I remember is a truck's headlights. The first thing I feel is cold earth and the taste of blood that isn't mine. Arthur Reinhart died in this forest a week after passing the Academy entrance exam. A forgotten minor noble, killed by a corrupted wolf, erased from a story that never needed him. I shouldn't be here. In his body. In his life. In a world I only know because I spent too many nights reading a web novel about Lloyd Ashford and his rise to heroism. But here I am. And the story I read is starting. The problem? That story ended with me hitting refresh, waiting for the next chapter. I never saw how it finished. Never learned why the protagonist, who started so likeable, slowly became someone I couldn't stand to read about. Now I'm living alongside him, watching him gather companions and grow stronger, and that same wrongness I felt reading is crawling up my spine in person. I'm not a genius. I don't have a destiny. I'm just trying not to die again. But when the "hero" makes my instincts scream danger, when the plot I know and the reality I'm living start to diverge, when I realise I might be the only person who notices something is broken. What the hell am I supposed to do about it?

My name is Yotsuba Mahiro, and I'm a transmigrator. Sent to the world of Mahouka by the Isekai Transfer Envoy, I ended up becoming the Yotsuba family's adjustment-type magician. Other than being born with a pair of eyes that can copy all magic and martial arts, perhaps my greatest backing is that cheap mother of mine, Yotsuba Maya. After spending fifteen years in the pitch-black depths of the Fourth Research Institute, that cheap mom suddenly dropped a bomb on me— "Although you're the adjustment magician of the Fourth Institute, you are also my child." "So, giving birth to outstanding heirs for the Yotsuba family is also your duty." Heirs, huh? That's not hard at all. The Ten Master Clans and the Hundred Families—are their bloodlines enough? What if we add Student Council President, Saegusa Mayumi? What if we add lolis from Black Bullet? What if we add the assassin squad from Akame ga Kill? And then, how about a diva from Guilty Crown? … After experiencing ten different worlds, I asked Maya again: "Is this enough now? If not, I can add more!"

Noah is a transmigrator who arrived in the Britain of the Type-Moon world, becoming a subordinate of the famous witch, Morgan. At this moment, Merlin has just announced the matter of the Sword in the Stone, declaring that "he who pulls out this sword shall be the divinely chosen king." However, Morgan has long seen through Merlin's trickery and orders Noah to take this opportunity to infiltrate the enemy's ranks as a knight and find the right moment to assassinate the new king. Knowing the plot, Noah is aware that Morgan sent many "assassins" who eventually surrendered and even became Knights of the Round Table, so he agrees to go. According to his plan, he was supposed to fail in his assassination of Artoria and then naturally transition into becoming a Knight of the Round Table. But... Holding the Sword in the Stone and watching the knights below immediately pledge their loyalty to him, even Noah doesn't know what to say. It turns out... I'm the new king?

But soon he and the world will learn a simple truth: It’s not about what you wield. It’s about how you wield it.
