"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

The sky shattered into fire. The ground split like glass. And in the chaos, Kael Ardyn awoke to a crown pulsing with the power to steal everything from his enemies. In this world, victory isn’t survival. It’s possession. When the Summoning Age began, every human was torn from Earth and cast into a vast and brutal realm where only one law reigned: Rule… or be ruled. Each person became a Lord, blessed with a unique gift to command armies, expand territories, and forge their path to dominance. Some could summon immortal warriors, others commanded abyssal beasts, while a rare few rewrote the very laws of magic. But Kael’s power — The Plunder Crown — was beyond them all. An ancient, god-tier ability that guaranteed he would take everything from anyone he defeated. Weapons. Gold. Armies. Lands. Even the rarest Lord abilities themselves. Now, in a land where betrayal is a currency and war never sleeps, Kael will forge an empire not through mercy… but through ruthless, relentless plunder. "I don’t conquer to rule… I conquer to take it all."

Introduction: Reborn into the world of Douluo Dalu with the memories of a flawed but brilliant engineer from Earth, Zhang Tian awakens to a harsh reality. His new body possesses the most common and despised Martial Spirit on the continent—the Blue Silver Grass. His Innate Spirit Power is a pathetic 0.5. The world's foremost authority on Martial Spirits, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, delivers his verdict with cold, dismissive finality: "Innate Power 0.5 with a Blue Silver Grass? Your path is sealed. Go home, boy. Be a farmer." But within Zhang Tian, there is no despair. Only the cold, calculating mind of a man given a second chance, a man who sees not a trash spirit, but a blank canvas. "A trash spirit?" he thinks, a predatory smile hidden from the world. "No. It's a blank canvas. A canvas I will paint with forbidden alchemy, stolen opportunities, and a power this world has never seen. A canvas that will reach the very top." His path inevitably collides with the world's chosen one, Tang San, another soul from a different world. When Zhang Tian's engineering genius from a past life manifests as devastating firearms that defy the logic of Spirit Masters, it is Tang San who preaches caution and morality. "You have a responsibility!" the young hero declares, his face a mask of righteous indignation. "You can't just unleash such dangerous weapons upon the world!" But when Tang San's own hypocrisy leads him to threaten the women under Zhang Tian's protection in a desperate bid for victory, he learns a brutal, bloody lesson in pragmatism. As Zhang Tian stands over his broken, castrated form, his voice is a chilling whisper: "You targeted my women. Responsibility is a luxury you can no longer afford." His journey is not one of a lonely wolf, but of an emperor building his harem. He offers strength and freedom to those trapped by fate. For Zhu Zhuqing, the Hell Civet bound to a cowardly, degenerate prince, he is the only path to survival. As she turns her back on her pathetic fiancé, Dai Mubai, her breathtaking figure is a promise of the fierce loyalty he has earned. "You're a coward, Dai Mubai. I'll forge my own fate." She turns, her cold eyes filled with a new fire as she stands by Zhang Tian's side. "With him." His most powerful and intimate ally is a secret that could shatter the world: Ah Yin, the hundred-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Empress. Rescued from her lonely exile and reborn through his power as the seductive Blood Silver Empress, her maternal love transforms into a burning, possessive desire for the man who showed her the truth of her husband's betrayal. "That imposter murdered my son," she whispers, her magnificent, mature body pressing against his, a promise of pleasure and power intertwined. "As for you, my little Emperor... forget that little cat girl. Let a real woman show you what true pleasure feels like… down there." With cold calculation, he seizes the opportunities that he can: the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Eight Spider Lances, and many more. Armed with an arsenal of self-developed Spirit Tools that merge modern engineering with this new world, he is an unstoppable force of revolution. He will conquer the hearts of the continent's most beautiful and powerful women, enjoying their devotion and their sexy bodies while systematically dismantling the hypocrisy of its so-called "heroes." For Zhang Tian's ambitions stretch far beyond mere godhood. He looks upon the entire system of cultivation with the cold, critical eye of an engineer. "Spirit Rings from hunting beasts? A pathetic, barbaric system that rewards brute force and blind luck," he scoffs, a blueprint for a new world order forming in his mind. "This continent doesn't need such a system that forces the spirit beasts to extinction. It needs a revolution. And I am the engineer who will design it." ~~ A/N: Hope you all like it.

"Mr. Kira, many people believe that the current dueling environment has become increasingly toxic, with dominant trends of heavy traps and defensive, closed-off playstyles. They say this unhealthy atmosphere was brought about by you, as the new generation's Duel King. What do you think about this?" a reporter asked during an interview. "Slander! Pure slander!" Kira was angered by this accusation. "Why say it was me who started this?" "Dueling has always been like this!" It's not his fault. Who let him play Yu-Gi-OH!

They descended from the sky, rose from the sea, and appeared out of thin air. They ran rampant upon the lands following their instinct to destroy; however, as those creatures ran rampant across Earth, the tower suddenly appeared. A structure that was somehow able to protect humans from them, that was able to repel those that dared to approach it. A structure that is said to have been gifted from the gods to humanity

Imagine waking up as the villain in your sister's cheesy fantasy novel. Yeah, not ideal, especially when that villain is destined for hatred, and a grim end in some forgotten dungeon. That's Astrid's new reality. Her old life? Gone. Her new mission? Survive. And step one means throwing the original script out the window. But changing fate is way harder than it sounds. In a desperate move, Astrid makes the story's heroine, Lyra, her personal maid. Clever, right? Except teaching Lyra magic and treating her like, well, a person, backfires spectacularly. Lyra's gratitude twists into something intense, dark, and possessive. And she's not the only one. Astrid tries mending fences with her powerful aunt, only to find herself smothered by a love that feels dangerously close to madness. Even her ambitious half-sister, originally her rival, gets weirdly attached after Astrid shows her a bit of warmth and helps her gain power using some modern-world smarts. Astrid thought she was being clever, building alliances, creating intelligence networks, rewriting roles. She is changing the story, but it's warping everyone around her. Their loyalty? It's becoming obsession. Their affection? A dangerous fixation. Now, Astrid isn't just fighting the plot. She's drowning in a mess of her own making – caught between people who crave her, tangled in lies and affections twisted way out of shape. Everyone wants her, and sharing isn't remotely on their agenda.
