“Ruling is the duty of oversight, to oversee instead of create. To govern instead of live. It came with power and prestige, with obligation and responsibility. Soldiers fought and farmers farmed, but to be King is to rule. To maintain the illusion of power one’s forefathers had built. Marcus didn’t care for any of it. He saw magic when he first opened his eyes, and nothing else ever compared. But the King is old and he an only child. Decisions had to be made. Important, hard decisions. No one expected much of him. Not in regards to anything but magic. They were right not to. Until the cube. Until it taught him what life meant for people not born into nobility, and that all his skill with the arcane did not make him immortal. That running from problems did not, in fact, make them go away. Marcus Sepsimus Lannoy—Marcus to the friends he did not have—touched something he should not have on the day he planned to run from his problems.” Inspiration taken from The Menocht Loop, A Practical Guide to Evil and everything else I have ever read in my life. But mostly the first two, though not overly much from either. Concepts and the like. I hope to do them justice. Am I rambling? I feel like I’m rambling.

Battle Through the Heavens was my first donghua and also my first novel, and because of that it holds a very special place in my heart. Xiao Yan, his journey, his struggles, and his growth are things no one can truly replace, and I know that the original story is already complete in its own way. Still, as a fan, I often imagined a different path—one where family emotions play a stronger role, where bonds, loss, and protection become as important as power itself. This idea is not meant to change Xiao Yan or deny the original story. Instead, it is a personal re-imagining inspired by my own thoughts and feelings as a reader. I was especially inspired by the fanfic BTTH: Thunder Shattered by Yi Pin Ru Xi Yang Yang. I am not trying to copy it directly, but rather use it as a foundation and modify the story according to my own imagination—focusing on a more powerful background, deeper family relationships, and emotional growth alongside cultivation. I am not a professional writer, and this is not something I am doing for fame or recognition. This story is purely for my own satisfaction and love for BTTH. If anyone has thoughts, ideas, or suggestions, I am open to them, and I will gladly shape the story in a better way.

30000+ Words Before Locked ______ Leon never asked for greatness. He just wanted to escape his flirty stepbrother and survive another miserable day. But fate had other plans—delivered by a lightning bolt and a cosmic accident. Reborn in a brutal world of mana, monsters, and cultivation, Leon starts at the bottom. No legacy. No allies. No system. Just seven divine treasure spins. And then—everything changes. [Class: Elemental Paragon(SSS)] A class whispered only in dread. A name that doesn’t exist—only a myth followed. Along with the class came another gift. [Ding!] [Host successfully connected to Cosmic System!] Unlike the standard system others in his world use, Leon’s was different. It came with features no one else had—like a mysterious [SHOP], filled with items so rare they bordered on myth. Treasures that could warp reality. Twist fate. Even in the lowest of the low Earthly Planes, Leon could purchase artifacts of Legendary or even Mythical rank. But every treasure had a cost—one no amount of gold could pay. And then there was the [CHAT]. A place where the most terrifying beings in existence—galaxy-shattering Absolutes and universe-warping entities—casually exchanged words. Like The Keeper of The Dimensions, Lord of Space and Time… In that chat, Leon was mistaken as one of them. One of the powerful. One of the untouchable. In reality, he was weaker than a worm compared to them. But that wouldn’t last. Leon made himself a quiet promise: 'One day, I’ll meet them for real.' 'And when I do…' 'I won’t be mistaken anymore.' He’ll rise. He’ll reach the apex. ____ #NO NTR #NO Yuri ____ Discord: https://discord.gg/yD2GXRHHfp Patreon for exclusive content. https://www.patreon.com/c/DesEnd596

‘Is this shit actually happening to me?’ That was Kael Carter’s first reaction when he saw a bunch of priests kowtowing in front of him, worshiping him as the ‘Hero.’ For a good while, he actually thought it was just another one of his dreams, until reality hit him. It was real… He was actually summoned to a fantasy world where magic exists. A world of Beast Tamers. A world where Humans and Magic Beasts grow stronger together. A world he, as its supposed Hero, was meant to protect. His response? “Fuck no!” How was he supposed to protect an entire world when even opening a jar of pickles was like a life-or-death battle to him? He was no Hero. And to prove it, he decided to place his hand on the ‘Orb of Resonance’ that was supposed to ‘confirm his identity as the Hero.’ But then, [Ding!] He heard a sound.

From childhood, Vlad trained his body to the brink of destruction, dreaming of surpassing that legend and bringing true peace between humans and dragons. At sixteen, during the Awakening Ritual, he was branded a failure — awakening only a pathetic D-rank talent that promised nothing but mediocrity.

[Legacy System Initialized — Welcome, Host!] Now the world shall witness his rise. From D-Rank to SSS Legendary Knight: He will surpass them all --- The story is slightly towards slice of life at the beginning. The Awakening Ritual will occur in chapter 10.

She just wants to have a peaceful life, however, can she has it? Author Note: - The cover image for this novel credit goes to its creator.

#VillainDad #CuteProtagonist #Ghosts #Misunderstanding #Transmigration #SmartMC Mira realized two things the moment she woke up in the body of a nameless orphan in a fantasy novel: 1. She is a disposable "shrimp" destined to die in the crossfire of the main characters. 2. She is the only person in this world who can see the screaming, terrifying ghosts that haunt every corner of the empire. Tortured by the wails of the dead, Mira finds only one source of silence: Duke Kaelus von Nacht. Known as the "Dark Lord" and the "Emperor's Sword," Kaelus is a man so ruthless and soaked in bloodlust that even the ghosts are terrified to go near him. To the world, he is a monster. But to Mira, he is a walking, talking pair of noise-canceling headphones. Desperate for a good night's sleep, Mira clings to him, acting like a naive, affectionate child to secure her place by his side. She succeeds, but she miscalculated. Kaelus didn't adopt her out of kindness. He needed a disposable child to act as 'live bait' for the assassins targeting him. Now named Seraphina, she must navigate a deadly game of survival. She thinks she is using him as a ghost shield. He thinks she is a fearless prodigy who loves him. As Seraphina munches on poison berries and naps through ambushes to avoid seeing spirits, the cold-blooded Duke starts to ask the wrong questions. "Why does she only sleep when I am holding her?" "Why does she stare into space with such disdain?" "Is it possible... that I am a good father?" Spoiler: He is not. But he’s about to destroy an entire kingdom because someone woke her up. --- ### Excerpt "Your Highness, the Archduke," the aide whispered, trembling hard to cover his laughter from bursting out. "The child... she is clinging to your leg again." Kaelus looked down. The tiny creature known as Seraphina was attached to his calf like a barnacle, drooling on his pristine military trousers. "She is fearless," Kaelus murmured, misinterpreting her desperate need for his ghost-repelling aura as familial affection. "The assassins are approaching, yet she seeks comfort only in the eye of the storm. She is the perfect bait." Seraphina, currently trying to avoid eye contact with a headless ghost hovering three feet away, squeezed her eyes shut. 'Just don't move. If I let go, the headless guy will ask me where his nose is again.' "Sir," the aide hesitated. "She's... eating your cloak." "Let her eat," Kaelus commanded, drawing his sword. "Whatever she wants, she gets. Except for freedom."

Jeremy, son of a wealthy family, was just busy enjoying his peaceful life. But all of a sudden, he was transmigrated into the body of Jeremiah de Thorne from the novel “The Troubles of the Nobilities”. It is a story written by his friend about the bloody political struggles between the empire’s powerful figures. But after Jeremy transmigrated…the strict prime minister known for his hard-to-please personality, the crown prince of the empire who was supposedly a dangerous and bloodthirsty person, the bishop from the church who was known for his solitary attitude, and the magic tower master who was said to be a crazy mysterious figure…they are all…not as bad as what the novel described them? Yes, they are all very good people! That is Jeremy’s assessment of the key characters of the supposedly bloody novel he is currently in.

The Day the Veil Shattered, Humanity Learned They Were Just Livestock. ​But Inside Kael Redgrave, the Livestock Brought Its Own Slaughterhouse. ​The "Great Reveal" changed everything. Gods, Demons, and Cosmic Entities weren't myths—they were apex predators, and humanity was nothing but currency, collateral, and food. ​Nineteen-year-old Kael Redgrave should have been just another statistic. Instead, his body became a celestial cage. Locked within his highly volatile genetic code are five primordial, world-ending souls constantly clawing for control: ​The Dark Smiler: A sadistic, riddle-speaking entity of pure malice. ​The Demon Lord: A hyper-violent avatar of unadulterated slaughter. ​The Devil King: A scheming, calculating master of political intrigue. ​The Divine: A hypocritical, blindingly radiant being of absolute judgment. ​The Void: A silent, existential terror that hungers to erase existence itself. ​As whispers of the "Vessel of Five" echo across the cosmos, Kael becomes the ultimate target. Gods want him shackled. Monsters want him dead. Humanity wants him erased before the world-enders fully awaken. ​But as Kael fights to survive the targeting arrays of the universe, a darker truth begins to surface. He wasn't chosen by these primordial horrors. He was engineered for them. ​And somewhere beyond the fabric of reality, a forgotten creator is waiting for Kael to remember why.

It was a lie. And he knew Leith must have realized it. But the man did not respond to the lie, did not judge, did not ask any further questions. He just remained silent... and slowly bit his own index finger until a drop of blood appeared. Then, with a movement that was almost inaudible, he reached out his hand toward Liyn. "Drink... Liyn.” Liyn's heart felt like it was being pulled out of her chest. Her breath caught. She stared at Leith's finger in confusion, fear, and… trembling. But something inside her stirred. Slowly, she grasped Leith's hand, her hands so small in that gentle embrace, then hesitantly touched that finger to her lips. She sucked on the tip of the finger, tasting the salty, warm blood. As warm as someone who cares. Yurei Yurelin dreamed of becoming a scientist and exploring the skies above, not the magical battlefield. She hid her Veyra level as a child, managed to get into a technology school, and was almost achieving her dream… until everything fell apart. Betrayed by the retest results, Yurei was forced to enter Syntara Academy, an elite academy for Veyra users. There, everyone had extraordinary talent—except her. But one thing worse than being the ordinary girl among geniuses… is the fact that her new teacher is a legendary former warrior, a man whose face can make anyone submit—including Yurei's heart. As old secrets begin to surface and the hidden power within her slowly awakens, Yurei realizes: she was never meant to be a Scientist… but something greater.

"I knew I was handsome enough to be a protagonist, but I didn't think it would happen like this." In the neon-drenched, filth-encrusted streets of Night City, survival isn't a goal—it’s a full-time job. Kael used to be a rising star at Arasaka Academy, a scholarship student with a genius-level talent for firearm technology. Now? He’s just another face in the crowd, flipping synthetic starch flatbreads filled with "meat" that used to have six legs, all while dodging stray bullets and Tyger Claw shakedowns. In a city that eats dreams for breakfast, Kael has learned the golden rules: keep your head down, pay your protection fees, and never—ever—turn around when a stranger calls your name. But his quiet, cowardly life is upended when his past literally catches up to him in the form of Lucy, a high-tier Netrunner neighbor who once stole his tuition and now demands his technical expertise. Just as the pressure of the streets reaches a breaking point, Kael’s reality fractures. He awakens in a mysterious, void-like space, only to come face-to-face with versions of himself from across the multiverse—a Pilot from the Frontier (Titanfall 2), a Ghoul from the shadows of Tokyo, a slayer of Goblins, and a hero in a world of Marvels. With a shared "cheat" that connects his many selves, Kael is no longer just a street vendor hiding from Arasaka’s shadows. From the depths of Night City to the edge of the galaxy, the legend of the "Simultaneous Traveler" begins. Night City, you son of a bitch... get ready to burn. in case you want to support me (special benefits) p4treon.com/talkfictome (+extra Chapters)

Leon Hart woke up in Orario with three magic slots, seven skills, and stats so bad they’d make a goblin laugh. Six months of scraping by as a Level 1 nobody under Demeter’s protection taught him one thing: in a city where gods play politics and Evilus lurks in every shadow, raw power means nothing without people watching your back. When his cheat system drops a Familia Invitation, a black letter that summons warriors from other worlds, everything changes. A holy maiden saved from the stake. A silver-haired healer who shouldn’t exist. A sword saint with no kingdom left to serve. One by one, Leon builds something Orario has never seen before: a familia of outsiders, hidden beneath Demeter’s banner, growing in the shadows while the city’s power brokers look the other way. The Dungeon doesn’t care where you came from. It only cares whether you’re strong enough to survive what comes next.
