I had just finished one of the best games I have ever played, only to look up and find I was no longer in my room, but kneeling in the bloody sand of a colossal, sun-baked fighting arena. How did this happen? How did things go from playing a video game to being transported into the body of a background character within the game, who was exonerated and abandoned due to not having as much magical potential as the rest of the family? …A character who was doomed to die a very horrible death right at the beginning of the game?

After dying of a heart attack at thirty-four, a high-level executive wakes up in a shallow grave in the Louisiana woods. He’s transmigrated into the body of Samuel Huffman, a 150-year-old vampire "nobody" who was recently staked and left for dead. Bonded to the Vampire Monarch System, Samuel realizes that in the world of True Blood, age usually equals power—but his system is the ultimate equalizer. While the vampire world is busy "mainstreaming" with synthetic blood, Samuel uses his corporate instincts and supernatural interface to build a kingdom from the margins of Bon Temps. From manipulating the Authority to building a loyal nest, he’s not just surviving the night; he’s rewriting the hierarchy. The System: Vampire Monarch Blood Potency (BP): The core measure of power. While other vampires wait centuries to grow stronger, Samuel can accelerate his BP through strategic actions and "consuming" influence, allowing a young-looking vampire to hit with the force of an Elder. Glamour & Mental Influence: A specialized skill tree that enhances the natural vampire ability to hypnotize. Samuel can invest points to bypass the mental resistance of humans and even cloud the minds of other supernatural beings. Territory & Dominion: The system provides a tactical overlay of Bon Temps and beyond. Claiming "Dominion" over a location provides passive resource generation (wealth and blood supply) and alerts Samuel to any rival vampires entering his turf. Lineage & Progeny Management: This function allows Samuel to track the loyalty and growth of his "children" (vampires he turns). It ensures his bloodline remains fanatically loyal, creating a built-in army that grows as he does.

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?

If you were given the chance to return to the world of Jujutsu Kaisen and stop that old menace before tragedy struck, would you take it? Eichi would. Through an unexpected twist of time and space, Eichi was sent back and obtained the Ten Shadows Technique along with the power to summon Heroic Spirits, abilities he had only ever dreamed of. In this life, Eichi refused to live as an ordinary person. In this life, he chose madness. After all, if every sorcerer is a little insane, what harm is there in having one more? "Take this Wild Rose. It is a new cursed tool I made just for you." "What? That is a gun. My technique will not work with something like that." "Who says it will not?" he replied calmly. "See? This is the hammer. And this is the nail." As he spoke, Eichi placed the bullet into the hand of Nobara Kugisaki, whose eye twitched uncontrollably. "This world of jujutsu is rotten to the core," he said. "And now it is time to change it." Yet as Eichi pushed forward toward what he believed would be a happy ending, he slowly realized something unsettling. When everything was finally over, he and his companions arrived at the Eternal Throne one after another. ---------------------- Advanced chapters at p@treon

Jax Darquebane wakes up in a world ruled by magic, monsters… and a System. Thanks to a very unintended mistake at reincarnation, Jax can max out stats, master any occupation, and break rules the world didn’t even know it had. Instead of becoming a brooding hero, Jax decides to do what he does best: * Modernize a medieval fantasy world. * Build absurd amounts of wealth. * Overthrow corrupt generals and tyrannical kings. * Outplay demon lords and chaos gods. * And somehow end up engaged to multiple terrifyingly capable women. This is a lighthearted, overpowered fantasy adventure filled with business schemes, dungeon raids, ridiculous misunderstandings, adult humor, and world-changing ambition. No explicit content — just chaos, confidence, and fun. New and revised content also published on other popular sites.

For as long as she can remember, Princess Seraphina Valemont has shared everything with her twin sister her home, her title, and even her face. But behind Selene's perfect smile lies something darker. As strange incidents begin to plague the kingdom, Seraphina finds herself haunted by whispers, missing memories, and a growing fear that someone is manipulating her life from the shadows. The people she trusts begin to doubt her. Friends turn distant. Even her own reflection seems to betray her. Meanwhile, Selene grows increasingly unpredictable, her words carrying secrets she should not know and her eyes reflecting a chilling obsession that borders on madness. When an ancient evil buried beneath the Valemont bloodline begins to awaken, Seraphina uncovers a horrifying truth: the greatest threat to the kingdom may not be a monster lurking in the dark but the sister who wears her face. In a world where identity can be stolen, memories can be twisted, and blood is the price of power, Seraphina must fight to uncover the truth before she loses everything... including herself. Because some reflections are never meant to stare back.

Idora Dea was a member of the hero's party that observed the hero's Journey from beginning to end. She was with him when he grew up, and she was there when he was selected as the hero. She was there when he defeated the demon lord. Her contribution to the fight was not inferior to his, but what awaited her at the end wasn't praise, it was scorn. As a withering flower at the end of her life, she didn't regret a single decision, but right before she could pass on to the land of the dead, a blue window appeared in front of her... Seeing the blue window, her memories returned, a sly smile creeping on her face. This wasn't her first rodeo. In fact, this was her second chance at life, one that was about to end. But, a choice was offered to her. To reincarnate, or to let nature play its course. The choice was obvious. Giddy like a young child, she chose to reincarnate to her favourite fictional world. Destination? Gensokyo, Touhou.

MY LOVE FROM HELL Synopsis She has no name. No family. No past. For as long as she can remember, she has lived on the streets—feeding from wastebins, sleeping under broken bridges, surviving on scraps the world discarded. Invisible. Unwanted. Forgotten. But the shadows have never forgotten her. Strange eyes follow her in the dark. Whispers crawl into her dreams. And on the night she is almost killed in an alley, a dangerously beautiful stranger appears — cold, commanding, and inhuman. He calls her Celestia. He claims he is her protector. Lucien is powerful, mysterious, and terrifyingly calm. He takes her into a mansion that feels alive and introduces her to beings that are far from human — demon hybrids, a higher vampire, creatures born of darkness. She should run. But she doesn’t. Because for the first time in her life, someone is protecting her. Soon, her nightmares become real. Witches gather in secret covens. Dark angels descend. Higher demons hunt her. She learns a truth that shatters everything: She carries angelic pure blood — a sacred, celestial essence powerful enough to grant dark forces access to Heaven itself if sacrificed. She is not a nobody. She is the key to a war between realms. And the most devastating truth of all? The man she is falling in love with… The man who saved her… The man who swore to protect her… Is the Prince of Hell. Now caught between Heaven and Hell, hunted by witches and demons, rejected by angels, and betrayed by destiny, she must choose who she truly is. A weapon. A sacrifice. Or the girl who dares to love the devil. Because in a war between light and darkness, love may be the most dangerous sin of all. warning:Mature content! Beware!!!

Twelve years of dedication to a city-building MMORPG ended not with a logout, but with a descent into a body that wasn't his own. Garrett wakes up in a forest in the year 38 of the New World, exactly one century before the Great Tomb of Nazarick is set to appear. He is armed with the Architect of Epochs system, a support-class survival interface that rewards territorial dominance and architectural tyranny over personal combat. While the Slane Theocracy's shadow looms and Dragon Lords guard their dying magic, Garrett must build monuments that stack reality-altering buffs, knowing that "heroic" path will only stall his growth. In a world that demands a conqueror, he will turn a humble settlement like Marlstone into a fortress capable of weathering an Overlord's ambition. The timer is ticking, and every stone laid is a prayer for survival.
