[Demon Slayer] [Stat Allocation] [Relaxed Pace] While his peers were bitterly training their lungs out just to master the basics of Total Concentration Breathing, Natsuya simply opened his System Interface and dumped his Skill Points. While other Corps members struggled just to stay alive, he silently altered the fates of comrades destined to die. While the Demon Slayer Corps clung rigidly to the ancient tradition of the "Nine Hashira," Natsuya found himself surrounded by a generation of Hashira-level prodigies who all respectfully addressed him as "Sensei." "Listen well, Giyu. 'A man's dream... will never die!'" — Natsuya, dropping wisdom on his junior, Giyu Tomioka, shortly after the latter joined the Corps. "Oyakata-sama, you're going to regret this." — Natsuya, storming out of the Master's Mansion after his 'Proposal to Reform the Final Selection' was politely rejected. Years later, during the Decisive Battle in the Infinity Castle. As the Demon Slayers—who were now collectively and ridiculously overpowered—were warped inside the dimensional fortress: Lady Muzan panicked, screaming at the Biwa Demon: "I thought there were only nine Hashira?! Nakime, are you trying to get me killed?!" Natsuya calmly cracked his knuckles, stepping to the front of the formation. "Don't worry, Muzan. This won't take long..." ~~~ The upload schedule will be: 4 days a week at 00:00 GMT+8

A year after transmigrating, Lucas Blade, forced by circumstances to become a trainer, accidentally passed the Champion Exam. Immediately afterward, he announced his retirement on the spot, stating that, having once suffered through the 996 grind, he now just wanted a leisurely and peaceful life. However, just as he invested a huge sum to buy land and planned to build his farm, his long-delayed golden finger (cheat ability) finally arrived. At this time, the Tera orb had not yet been developed, and Sada/Turo had not yet become completely obsessed with the research of Area Zero... On one hand, there’s a special hint system in his chat group secretly helping him grow stronger; on the other, there’s the increasingly bizarre farm, thanks to the random appearances of strange people and Pokémon. On top of that, he still has to deal with the various students with different personalities at Naranja Academy, where he works... From that moment on, Lucas’ peaceful life began to stir with new waves. PS: The setting of this book combines anime and games, with some original elements. The golden finger (cheat ability) is relatively low-key.] Tags: Pokémon, slice of life, making up for regrets, relaxing, heart warming novel

"If you ever get hurt, you can always come to me. I'll heal you... unconditionally~" With just one line and a single promotional video, Lumina, the pure and flawless Saintess, instantly broke through the fandom barrier and became everyone's top choice. A pair of legs and a single image of Lumina, the pure and flawless Saintess, set the internet ablaze, making her the true Archon of the ̶d̶o̶u̶j̶i̶n̶s̶h̶i̶ world. "Waaah! If I could just rest my head on Lumina-neechan's lap once in my life, I'd die without regrets!" "When is Lumina-neechan coming to the gacha? I'm sick with lovesickness—the kind only she can cure!" "@Mihoyo, can't Lumina be added to the gacha sooner? Do you even want to make money? At this rate, I'm going to F2P her E6 S5!" As more of Lumina's promotional videos and storylines were released, players began to uncover the truth. The aloof Saintess persona was merely a facade. Witnessing Lumina's true personality only intensified the players' enthusiasm. "Lumina-neechan, step on me!!!" The fan comments, however, gradually spiraled into the absurd... -

# DxD Crossover: Volume 1 (Chapters 1-230) Leo Eligos, a third-year student at Sobu High, hides a secret. Behind his calm smile and flawless school life, he is, in truth, a devil. In a world where devils, angels, and fallen angels coexist, Leo has just ascended to the rank of High-Class Devil. Inside the Department of Mystical Affairs Club room, he turns to his beautiful junior and says: "Do you believe in devils?" Thus begins the story of a half-human, half-devil boy who seeks to build his own peerage, while slowly unraveling his own desires in a world that seems peaceful on the surface but is anything but ordinary. Devils don't fall in love, not unless you willingly offer up your soul. --- # DanMachi : Volume 2 Leo Eligos, the newest trainee of one of the two strongest Familias in the city, hides a secret. Behind his easy smile and his unremarkable place at the very bottom of the roster, he is not of this world at all, and he already knows how its story is supposed to go. In a world where gods come down to live among mortals and adventurers carve their names into a Dungeon without end, a young man with no blessing and no future woke fifteen years old and half-drowned, far beneath the earth, to a voice with no warmth and no color, like a doll's, yet more beautiful than any hymn. "...Do you want to come back with me?" The hand belonged to the most famous blade in the city. He took it. A year later, the blessing is finally carved into his back, and the boy who was never meant to matter steps into the Dungeon as an adventurer, with a Skill no god can read, a magic that brings the stars down like rain, and growth so monstrous it shames records that have stood for years. Thus begins the story of an outsider with no place in this world, carving a legend of his own among its gods and heroes, while the quiet girl who pulled him out of the dark starts watching his back far more closely than she should. --- Note: The High School DxD and DanMachi volumes are completely separate stories. You can read the DanMachi volume directly without reading DxD first.

Four strangers move into a modern riverside residence in Thailand, each carrying something they never say out loud. They aren’t looking to be saved. They aren’t looking to be fixed. And they aren’t all looking for love. Between late nights, quiet mornings, unfinished conversations and boundaries tested by proximity, they learn that healing doesn’t arrive all at once and sometimes, it doesn’t arrive at all. What remains instead are moments: shared kitchens, long silences, soft touches, and the choice to stay. At Your Convenience is a slow-burn, adult BL about grief, intimacy, mental health, and the lives people build while still carrying what they’ve lost. Love doesn’t cure here. It simply exists.

In the remote countryside village of Grimwood, a boy named Vlad grew up chasing that legend with unwavering determination, driven by a promise he had once made to the moon. However, at sixteen, during the Awakening Ritual, he was branded a failure—awakening only a pathetic D-Rank talent that promised nothing but mediocrity. Yet while others mocked his impossible dream, Vlad refused to give up. Together with his childhood companion Chloe and the friends he would meet within the walls of Arcane Academy, he continued moving forward. What no one knew was that he had awakened something far greater than mere talent. [Legacy System Initialized... Welcome, Host.] As Vlad takes his first steps toward an impossible dream, ancient mysteries begin to unravel and primordial beings that have slumbered for countless ages slowly begin to awaken, their attention inexplicably drawn to Vlad, a D-Ranked boy. --- It's a slow-paced fantasy academy story filled with action, comedy, and a lot of heartwarming romantic moments that will leave you grinning under your blanket at night.

There are only mild moments to keep the story grounded in reality.

Who says a eunuch can’t fall in love? In the noble courts of Valemont, everyone seems to agree that he cannot. Theodore von Virchow is the duke’s second son. A decorated war hero. A man of quiet authority whose cold composure makes even seasoned nobles uneasy. And he is devastatingly handsome. Tall, broad-shouldered, and sinfully good-looking, Theodore looks like a man carved by the gods themselves. Many whisper that such beauty is a cruel waste on a eunuch. With a single declaration, Theodore placed himself beyond the expectations of marriage, heirs, and romantic pursuits. Society accepted it without question. The court pitied him. The women stopped pursuing him. And life quietly moved on. Everyone accepted the truth. Everyone… except Everetta Whitmore. For thirteen years, Everetta has loved exactly one man. While society calls her foolish and her parents attempt to marry her off to more suitable lords, she refuses every offer placed before her. Because Everetta Whitmore does not believe love should be so easily abandoned. And if Theodore von Virchow truly is a eunuch? Then she intends to find out exactly what a eunuch ‘can’ do. Everetta begins a relentless pursuit that shocks the entire court. From scandalous masquerade balls to suspiciously convenient accidents in gardens, libraries, and moonlit balconies, she repeatedly throws herself into Theodore’s path with reckless determination. She bumps into him. Provokes him. Tempts him. And every time he tries to escape her, she only chases harder. Until one evening, Theodore finally snaps. “You are chasing a man who cannot give you anything,” he says coldly. “Have you no dignity?” Everetta only smiles. “Dignity?” she says sweetly. “If I cared about dignity, I wouldn’t be in love with you.” But Theodore von Virchow is a man who keeps his distance from the world, guarding himself behind silence and restraint. Least of all does he want the stubborn woman who refuses to leave him alone anywhere near his carefully ordered life. Yet the more Everetta chases him, the more impossible it becomes for him to ignore her. Because chasing a man who insists he cannot love her might ruin her reputation… but Everetta has never been afraid of scandal. … A scandalous historical romance about obsession, forbidden desire, and the relentless woman determined to prove that even a eunuch cannot escape love forever.

After 600+ chapters, here’s what to expect. First of all, throughout this novel, I have learned and improved in my story-making ability. Sadly though, you could only see this improvement about several hundred chapters in, like in the upper 300s and early 400s. And this change comes before a story arc that is bad compared to my recent story arcs. You may feel inclined to stop before then. You may feel inclined to stop even before you reach a hundred chapters. You may think, “Oh, there’s no action, it’s boring, and everything is easy for our MC.” But if you persist, you will see the true vision I have for the novel. Kingdom building, action-packed, and enough slice-of-life to warm your hearts into overdrive. If you hear the words, DIVA, AUBILITIES, and METROPOLIS, then you are about to enter, what I think, is my best major story arcs I have written so far. The Metropolis Arc is peak. Here’s what to expect: — Action: Yes. There’s a new and exciting change in the latter chapters that allowed for a lot of action. — Kingdom Building: Absolutely. I’ll admit that in the earlier chaps, there’s a lot of need for improvement. But I think that I was able to remedy most of them in the recent chaps. — Slice-of-life: Yes, sir. If you loved the novel for its slice-of-life, then you can rest assured that it would continue on even in the most latest chapters. — Romance: This one, I’ll admit, needs a lot of improvement. But it’s because they are still kids in the novel so I still stray away from something truly romantic. However, romance in this novel could be attributed to the romance of family and of friendships for now. I hope that I was able to convince you to start reading my novel. If you read it before and want to start reading again, you can message me on Discord for questions regarding plot points, characters, or anything you forgot and I can remind you. ——————— Michael was suddenly reborn into a another world by a God because of an accidental death.

Lin Yi took control at the top of the arc, his towering frame moving with the grace of a guard. With a quick crossover, he shifted the defender’s balance, creating just enough space. Then, in one fluid motion, he unleashed a textbook Shammgod move, freezing Trevor Ariza in place before slipping past him effortlessly. But he wasn’t done. Without even looking, Lin Yi flicked a no-look pass to his cutting teammate—except, wait—he wasn’t passing after all. The ball floated just above the rim, perfectly placed for an alley-oop finish. The crowd erupted, but the disbelief wasn't just from the highlight itself. Because the one orchestrating this entire sequence—ankle-breaking crossover, dazzling no-look dime, and a perfectly timed lob—wasn't a shifty point guard or an explosive wing. It was a seven-footer. ... Feel like joining a Patreon for free and subscribing to advanced chapters? Visit the link: [email protected]/GRANDMAESTA_30 Change @ to a
