Why is it, that no matter how many world shattering heroes rise and fall, no matter how many times a realm is said to be depleted of resources, a hero rises again - burning all the resources they find as they go? Another inheritance is always found, another spirit herb, magical artefact... and no one asks why they never seem to run out... ...what keeps creating all these fortunate encounters? Why? And what happens if it stops? --- Warning, this book is a slow burner - rather than a fast paced DBZ style novel --- AUTHORS UPDATE: --- First 30 (one-sixth of) existing chapters have now been edited and reuploaded. Very little has been changed plot or event wise. It's been grammar, clarity, pacing/smoothness, period accuracy, and detail/sense layering. --- Apologies to my Readers My life has gone completely insane since 2019. I am prepared to start again, but I'm going to be slowly posting revised and clean chapters first, taking down old chapters as the new edits completely replace them. Unfortunately, Webnovel doesn't alert to updates to old content. I'm managing a couple of chapters a week worth of editing. By the way, if anyone thinks AI can do the work of writing for you, I say that it's an invaluable editing tool and soundingboard - but I find it still takes three to four hours of rewriting and discussing with the AI to update each chapter to a state I'm happy with. The payoff is that the AI keeping track of the novel events, characters, plots and threads as I go; trying to keep all that straight and losing focus is a big part of what blocked me last time, so hopefully, once I get to new content things will flow smoothly. --- This work was written and revised by the author with the assistance of a trained AI editor. All final choices, worldbuilding, and character voices were shaped by the author’s intent and hand.

Han Soorin thought landing the job of a lifetime—makeup artist for LUMEN, the hottest K-pop boy band in the world—would be her dream come true. Billboards, music shows, sold-out arenas… and her ultimate bias, Jung Haejin, standing just a breath away. But reality? A nightmare wrapped in designer clothes. Haejin, the flawless leader adored by millions, is nothing like the angelic idol Gleams worship. Offstage he’s cold, sharp-tongued, and impossible to please. The first words he throws at Soorin? A sneer at her “lack of manners” and a warning she won’t survive a week. Yet every day backstage pulls her deeper into their chaotic world—glittering stages, vicious rumors, obsessive fans, and the suffocating pressure of perfection. She sees the cracks in Haejin’s mask, the loneliness behind the spotlight… and against her better judgment, her hatred begins to blur into something far more dangerous. When a scandal threatens to destroy them both, Soorin must decide: walk away from the idol she swore to hate, or risk everything to stand by the man she never expected to possibly... love? ✨✨✨✨✨ [Chapter: 5-20 Update Daily] [Update schedule: 10+ comments or 2 reviews=1 Bonus chapter]

[Registration confirmed. Welcome to Nexhile School, Rondo!] That robotic system voice was the first thing Rondo heard as he stepped through the gates of Nexhile School. He looked around, taking it all in. The buildings were lined up perfectly, spotless and clean. It was impressive. He tried to pull up the UI display from his bracelet to check his status, but he looked completely lost. He was frowning, struggling with the tech, until someone stepped in to help. She was a beautiful girl with a short black bob. She sorted out his display and chatted with Rondo, claiming she was a "goddess of street art" who had also stumbled into Nexhile School by accident. They ended up meeting again inside the classroom. Once everyone was seated, the students were told how this place really worked. There was a reward system called GP, or Growth Points. It was the currency of the school. If you wanted to buy food, play games, or visit any of the special places in the districts scattered around the campus, you needed GP. And it didn't stop there. Every semester, exams would hit them without any warning. These surprise tests determined where you stood in the hierarchy. The higher your class, the bigger the privileges you got. But... reality hit hard. The system spat out the cold, bitter truth: for his first semester, Rondo was dumped into Class E. Would Rondo ever be able to climb his way up to Class A? --- What to expect from this novel: • Gradual MC development • Unique elite school system • Strategic exams • Friendship, rivalry, and separation • Mystery behind the school

Tang Ziqian’s greatest dream was to live a simple life with the people he loved most—but even at a young age, he learned that life was never meant to be easy. His parents abandoned him to pursue new love. The boyfriend he had loved for five years cheated on him and left him for his stepbrother. Friends he truly considered family mocked him. And his grandmother—the only person who genuinely loved him—passed away because he couldn’t afford her medication. In the end, everyone he loved had abandoned him. What is he striving for? Why must he suffer? Everything turned dull—a monotonous routine sustaining his existence. In time, he began to "play." Having sex with strangers he met at a bar once a week brought a spark into his mundane life. Unacceptable? Disgusting? Yes. But he grew addicted to the fleeting warmth and sweetness offered by people whose names he didn’t even know. Is this the life he dreamed of? No. He knew this wasn’t the life he was meant to have. He tried to fight against what felt like his fate—but the more he resisted, the worse things became. As days and years passed, he accepted that misery was his destiny. Then one day, he unexpectedly woke up in a new world and met new people. Is this a second chance granted to him—to pursue what he truly wanted? ___________________. English is not my first language.

Elizabeth Rose. Young. Beautiful. Talented. She conquered the underworld and was crowned Queenpin. Women adored her. Men resented her. She was powerful. Glamorous. Untouchable. Until she wasn’t.

After Chen Ling realized that he had transgressed into a cultivation fantasy world, he had become a villain character. But wait a second, how did my system come before my transgressed?

With righteous sons of destiny hunting him, sect elders watching him and heroines who want him dead— Chen Ling only has one question: “If the system came before me… does that mean I’m cleaning up someone else’s mess?” In a world where villains are destined to die, how would he change his future destiny and tremble the Heavenly Dao under his feet.

Ryoma Takeda was once a rising star in the ring, an Interhigh champion, a golden boy with fists of promise. But one bitter loss on his pro debut shattered his confidence. A freak accident soon after stole his leg. His career vanished. His fiancée left him. And all he had left were reruns of that one damn fight… and a hundred different regrets. Then, just as he hits rock bottom, fate does the unthinkable. He wakes up ten years in the past, on the very night of his first professional match. But this time, something’s different. [System Initialized: Vision Grid Active] “Your eyes see the truth beneath motion. Use it well.” Armed with the Vision Grid System, a combat-assist module that turns his visual perception into tactical mastery, Ryoma now has a second chance. To fix his mistakes. To chase the career he lost. To protect the mother he failed. To fulfill the hopes of those who refused to give up on him. And to finally become the man they always believed he could be. But boxing isn't just a sport. It's war of bodies, of minds, of hearts. And Ryoma Takeda is done losing.

He wants indoor plumbing. They think he’s conquering the world. Arthur was a genius engineer on Earth, capable of optimizing global logistics and automating entire factories. But he lacked one thing: common sense. Now, reincarnated as Arthur von Pendelton, the six-year-old son of a powerful Duke in a medieval fantasy world, he faces his greatest challenge yet: Drafts. Armed with the T.E.C.H. Interface (Trans-Epochal Construction Heuristic), Arthur can analyze magic like code and build modern technology from scratch. His goals are simple: Double-glazed windows, hot showers, and a toaster that doesn't burn the bread. But there is a problem. The people of this world don't understand engineering. He builds a high-pressure boiler for a bath; his father thinks it’s a "Dragon-Breath Siege Weapon." He creates a hydroponic garden; the local church declares him the God of Harvest. He ignores a Princess's flirting to analyze the thread count of her dress; she thinks he is playing "hard to get." Follow Arthur as he accidentally industrializes a kingdom, terrifies his enemies with home appliances, and remains completely oblivious to the fact that he is becoming the most powerful man in history. All he wanted was a warm bath.

Sage Mode never ends. Neither does my rule. Transmigrated into Naruto, he awakens Exceptional chakra Perception—mastery at first glance. By drawing natural energy nonstop, he forges an Infinite Sage Mode that never fades. Forbidden arts become blueprints: he merges shinobi craft with spirit lore to create Spirit Command, drafting willing heroic souls to his banner; his Heaven-Piercing Talisman Codex turns seals into laws—bindings that quiet hatred, rewrite bloodlines, and pen contracts even bijū obey. While villagers whisper “demon,” Hiruzen moralizes and Danzō’s ROOT plots control, Naruto answers with results. Classrooms become labs, missions become proofs, and Konoha learns a new order—defined by Naruto.

I don't own anything from DC, the only thing I own is the main character who I created/dreamed up. I am not using any AI except for pictures. Sorry if grammar is bad it's been years since I've had to write anything. Follow the story of king Aurelia Marcella Luna and her journey into the DC Universe. She comes from a world of sword and magic with technology close to the 1900-2000's. The gravity of her home world is almost 80x what earth's is. In DC supermans home had around 10x-30x earth gravity that's why Zod had such a strong body and tough skin without absorbing a lot of solar radiation. It will be slightly slow for the first 6 or 7 chapters. Since she is royalty there might be between 1-3 love interests all female, it's yuri. Maybe later in the story I'll try to right lemons.

[Be warned fellow Daoist, you are in an unsafe zone, where boneage below the 18, shall not head on. If your Dao Heart is weak, turn around and leave. ] [Not a typical villain novel + No pure wish fulfillment + Highly cinematic action + No chasing woman but other way around i.e Women chasing Mc ] *** Wang Tianmo gets reincarnated into the body of a trash, simp, beta villain—who would hand over all his resources to the heroine, only for her to choose the chosen son of density and leave him, causing his inner demon to take over. However, the Current Tianmo, now equipped with a mysterious system that has gained ego after READING stories i.e became a profound reader, and multiple blessings, is now on the hunt for protagonists. What's more, he literally has infinite wealth and unlimited resources provided by the system. However, what do you mean by heaven isn't a passive player but an active player?! Heaven actively plays the role of strengthening the protagonist and protects them!?... Damn, plot armor can't be that necessary, can it?! Saving those chosen ones no matter what?! What kind of concept is this?! Just because someone changed their destiny, heaven sent a backup?! Holy shit. ** Note: Killing protagonists will be a little hard. Mc is Evil as he will actively hunt all peerless treasure and in the process, he will wipe out clans, families, bloodlines, sects, etc. This isn't outright omnipotent Mc... Mc has a special ability which allows him to steal the abilities of the protagonist after beating them senseless or killing them, so, after a long run, he will have multiple cheats and systems function—100X rebate, Auto-cultivation, world hopping, clan building benefits, family building benefits, etc. ( basically all the combined cheats ) It is a strong to very strong realm quickly based on age setting but not the world setting. Don't be disappointed by an early loss, because, how can a new cultivator fight against nascent souls realm cultivators that have lived for 3000 years? .. In short, Mc gets all the cheats and systems as you can imagine by beating the protagonists but beating them is hard. Special note: Highly Evil Mc. ( not justifying any killing. Mc actively has an "Innate talent farm" where he breeds hundreds of women just so, they could produce children with peerless innate gifts that Mc would steal. Yes. Mc will kill his own children for innate treasures like Supreme Bones, bloodlines, Innate Intents, etc ) this is done by exploiting the "family blessing system" of typical xiuxian, xianxia novels where Mc's child have high chance of producing talented offspring. But that doesn't mean Mc won't have kids. Just read to find out. .. This is also a slow-paced novel but I can guarantee profound smut.

Someone put a bullet in my head. Joke's on them — it activated my system. Now I'm Tony Stark's forgotten twin brother with super strength, regeneration, and an adamantium skeleton. I fly faster than his suits. I hit harder than his missiles. And my motorcycle just turned into a woman with serious attitude problems. Obadiah wants us dead? He's decorating the sidewalk. S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to recruit me? I lead or I walk. They called me the useless playboy. Wait till they see what I unlock tomorrow.

Ha-eun and Hyun-woo have been in each other’s lives for as long as they can remember. Same house, same room, same habits. Too close to question. Too familiar to doubt. They call it friendship. Everyone else does too. But comfort turns into dependence, and small boundaries start disappearing. Jealousy shows up where it shouldn’t. Silence becomes heavier than words. And one day, they realize they’ve crossed a line neither of them ever named. Staying together feels wrong. Walking away feels worse. This is a story about blurred lines, unspoken feelings, and the quiet damage caused when two people stay “just friends” for far too long.

The Age of Ascension has begun. A distant war, once fought by the ancients, has returned — its influence now bleeding into the lesser realms, consuming both the weak and the strong alike. In this new era, survival depends on one thing: Transcendence. Titles have appeared, granting power beyond mortal limits. To live is to rise. To fail is to be left behind. Amid all this chaos, what am I to do when even my body isn’t mine alone?

At 32, Seo-yeon has nothing. No degree. No career. No family. No future. Only manhwa. She reads stories about people who regress and fix their lives. She laughs at them. Because reality doesn't work like that. Until the night she decides to die. And wakes up... Seven days before she lost everything in her life.
