David Keller was a master of his craft in Chicago—a man who knew the weight, the mechanics, and the soul of every firearm ever made, thanks to a lifetime of lessons from his veteran grandfather. But when a sudden end leads to a new beginning, he finds himself in the body of Nicholas Braveheart, the eight-year-old prince of a small, struggling kingdom. In a world ruled by ancient swords, rigid chivalry, and the mysterious flickers of magic, Nicholas is an anomaly. While other children play with wooden toys, he is busy sketching blueprints for the world’s first flintlock. While the powerful Varantum Empire looms on the horizon like an unstoppable tide, Nicholas isn’t looking for a hero’s sword—he’s looking for saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. Armed with thirty-six years of modern ballistics knowledge and the iron-clad will of a soldier, Nicholas sets out to turn his backwater home into a fortress. He’s not just building weapons; he’s building a revolution. The knights of this world think they are invincible behind their plate armor—Nicholas is about to show them exactly what happens when steel meets high-velocity lead. The age of magic is ending. The age of the Arsenal has begun. Author’s Note: I'm having a blast bringing Nicholas's journey to life!

In a world divided by four lands, every soul is bound to where they belong. Paths are chosen, futures are decided, and nothing is meant to change. She belongs to Truth. And she is bound by Rule and Order. They meet like anyone else could, and they could have stayed apart. They should have-but they don't. They choose to stay, again and again. They were never meant to fall in love. Because in this world, it isn't who you love that's dangerous. It's choosing to love at all. And even knowing the cost, they never let go-they keep choosing each other.

Umamusume possess three times the strength and speed of ordinary people. However, their minds are often like flowers in a greenhouse. Every trainer wants to help the horse girls they are responsible for realize their talents on the track, or even surpass their own talents. Everyone has the opportunity to do this. But others rely on luck, while I rely on my intersected dream and reality. The cover I found it on google search, anyone who want it to be taken down, please mention it.

A skeleton walks into a tavern and asks for a song. Calling himself Ulnar, he has no coin, no body, and no reliable memory of who he used to be. What he does have is a story full of holes: a bone cart, an off-key hymn, and a Bellman named Hobb who vanished after losing something more valuable than bones. Isola, a poor poet with a ledger and a talent for bad decisions, agrees to follow him for a month. But in a city where the dead can be claimed, sold, or forgotten, Ulnar’s story may be worth more than either of them understands.

Ben wakes up in the wreckage of a brutal car crash, his body shattered and his memories a blur. He has transmigrated into the role of a deputy in Banshee, Pennsylvania—a town where the law is just another gang and the real Sheriff is an imposter. Unlike the others, Ben carries "The Wolf’s Heritage," a set of innate supernatural abilities that allow him to survive the town's extreme violence. Walking the razor's edge between his duty as a lawman and his instincts as a predator, Ben becomes the silent variable in the war between Lucas Hood and Kai Proctor. He isn't interested in justice so much as survival and protection, but in a town like Banshee, the only way to protect what’s yours is to be the most dangerous thing in the woods. The Wolf’s Arsenal: The Powers Violence Mastery: An intuitive, passive understanding of combat. Ben perceives violence as a language or melody, allowing him to track multiple opponents, recognize predictable rhythms in an attack, and turn chaotic brawls into a choreographed slaughter. Pain Conversion: A survival-based passive ability. Instead of being sidelined by injury, Ben’s system converts physical pain into adrenaline and combat focus. The more he is hurt, the faster and more precise he becomes—until the "crash" hits after the adrenaline wears off. Regeneration: A grounded but powerful healing factor. Ben can survive wounds that would kill normal men, such as shattered bones or internal bleeding, which knit back together in real-time. However, this requires massive caloric intake and doesn't grant true immortality—instant-kill damage is still fatal. Criminal Instinct & Heist Intuition: A mental toolkit that allows Ben to see the "angles" in any situation. Whether he’s looking at a high-security vault or a crime scene, he instinctively identifies the weakest points, escape routes, and opportunities for exploitation.

《MY DAZZLING NEW LIFE WITH MY NEW HUSBAND》 Xue Guiying dies by his own hand. Born an illegitimate Omega into a family that treated him as a burden and a bargaining chip, he spent his first life enduring every cruelty they had to offer. When they finally found a use for him, it was the worst possible one: an arranged marriage to a man who broke him completely over five years. Abused, assaulted, and stripped of all dignity, Guiying chose the only exit he believed was left to him. Then he wakes up five years earlier, whole in body if not in spirit, with the full weight of everything he remembers. Before his family can lock him into the same fate, Guiying walks into a civil affairs bureau and marries the first willing stranger he finds. That stranger turns out to be Liu Liuxian, scion of the most powerful family in China and a top-class Alpha who is, apparently, just as eager to escape an arranged marriage of his own. What follows is a marriage neither of them planned and both of them slowly begin to want. Behind Liuxian's cold exterior is a man of quiet, unexpected gentleness. For Guiying, learning to receive warmth without flinching is its own kind of battle. He did not come back to fall in love. He came back to win. Yet somehow, both things begin to happen at once. Because while Guiying is falling, he is also methodically dismantling everyone who destroyed his first life. And his former husband, unwilling to accept Guiying's new life, is making that task considerably more dangerous. In the end, every person who wronged Xue Guiying meets the ruin they deserve, and he finds himself standing in a life that is finally, entirely his own, with a man beside him who chose him back. This time, he does not have to die to be free.

A Plant Master from a prosperous magical era died and reincarnated as a physically defective Sub-Beast on the Beastman Continent. Orphaned right after birth, he was raised by the entire tribe. Kaelen thought he would live a peaceful, uneventful life until the end of his days. Unexpectedly, during an instance where he accidentally wandered into a cave where a beastman was in a state of frenzy, he was violated by the beastman Sane. After that unintended night, neither of them liked the other, so they reached a secret agreement to keep the matter quiet. Sane took responsibility for providing Kaelen with daily necessities and various new seeds until one of them found a mate. Thanks to these supplies, Kaelen began using his Plant Master abilities from his past life to farm step by step, transforming the barren land around his house into a lush, little green farm. What Sane didn't expect was that the more he interacted with Kaelen, watching how quietly and gently Kaelen cared for each young sprout, the more adorable he found Kaelen to be. Sane grew to like being around Kaelen more and more, constantly reminiscing about the fresh scent of grass and vegetation lingering on Kaelen's body. Could it be... I've fallen for him? While Sane was still tangled up in his own feelings and had yet to realize that Kaelen's body was secretly gestating a little egg, Kaelen's bountiful magical harvests had already alerted the outside world. A whole bunch of stinky beastmen with formidable backgrounds began swarming around his soft, sweet-smelling darling to vie for Kaelen's attention. There was the incredibly arrogant Young Chief of the Lion Tribe, the fierce Intermediate Warrior of the High City, the Oracle of the Temple holding supreme authority... Sane: “...” Get lost, all of you! That's my son's Papa!

But as a trainer, could he really accept dying alone and leaving behind the horse girls under his care? “No. I refuse!” Fujimura Hikaru snapped back fiercely. “I can’t… I can’t stand the idea of never seeing them again—never seeing the way they shine on stage…” “A tragic ending like that… I will never accept it!” Heh-heh. I’m going to live, no matter what!

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.

When a veteran Wall Street strategist is inexplicably cast back to 1985 Tokyo, she finds her new family on the brink of financial collapse. Rather than despair, Saionji Satsuki views the era’s economic volatility as a playground for her advanced financial literacy.

Satsuki doesn’t just ride the wave of Japan’s bubble economy; she orchestrates its fallout to her advantage. By pivoting from currency speculation to a massive industrial empire, she secures a stranglehold on the nation's future infrastructure, from cutting-edge tech to vital pharmaceuticals. While the rest of the country eventually succumbs to the "Lost Decade," the Saionji Group emerges as an eternal titan, its shadow stretching over every corner of Japanese society.

Will his bold attitude clash with the sensitive modern era? Or will the actor from Hell surrender to his lust for chaos and violence?

Liora’s life is quiet and predictable — school days, sunset photographs, and Evren, the best friend who has always been by her side. Then on a random Tuesday, a new message appears. Rowan. What starts as a few casual chats slowly turns into late-night conversations and a connection Liora never expected. Yet something about him always feels slightly out of reach. While life continues with her friends and familiar routines, strange things begin happening online — disappearing accounts, unsettling messages, and whispers about something called The Last Seen Circle. Liora doesn’t realize it yet, but some people enter your life with a purpose. And sometimes, the most dangerous moment isn’t when someone sends a message… It’s when the screen quietly says: Typing… Typing… — a story about trust, digital shadows, and how easily a heart can be manipulated.

My name is Chad Cain, a transmigrator, Luffy's third older brother and just an ordinary pink-haired teenager. I used to have a cushy Marine job, thanks to my grandfather-grandson relationship with Garp, I could have easily coasted like Kizaru, punching in and out while working a desk job as a low-ranking clerk.

What's this about me being the illegitimate child of two Emperors, Kaido and Big Mom? PS : A single pairing with Uta and mc will supposedly act as a 'spy' later in luffy ship.

Neva and Rhett—two young souls—find their heartstrings woven in love. But just as passion and peace begin to bloom, fate intervenes. Bleak, haunting circumstances scatter blades across their romance, threatening to tear them apart. Ishmael—a man with a heart of thorns—yearns to mend the wound of losing Neva. And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate. Illusion is where we live—in the garden of Eden before the fall of man. Illusion is serenity—an evermore sanguine of love. The vision of paradise in the New Earth sows hope deep in the soul. The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.
