After leaving a broken marriage behind, Julie Madrigal takes her two children to the only place that has ever felt like home—the Scottish Highlands. Except she'd never actually been there. She had only seen its misty mountains, ancient castles, and endless green hills in books and videos. Yet something about the Highlands had always called to her. She never expected to find him there. Duncan McLaren, the Laird of the land, is everything Julie should stay away from—charming, protective, impossibly handsome, and far too good with her children. For the first time in years, Julie begins to wonder if she could have a life beyond survival. And Duncan? He has dreamed of her long before they ever met. Meeting Julie and her children feels less like coincidence and more like fate finally keeping a promise. He would gladly give up his title, his secrets, and everything he has ever known to keep them safe. But Duncan is hiding something. Something buried deep beneath the history of the Highlands. Something that could destroy the very future he's finally found. Because Julie came to Scotland hoping to escape her past. She never expected to find love waiting for her. And Duncan never expected that loving her might cost him everything.

14-year-old socially awkward Lovia travels to Teyvat, but instead of a majestic Traveler, she becomes a rare species—a Melusine! Penniless and starving, this Melusine was on the verge of a pathetic end... until she decided to pull off a "literary heist"! Thus, "The Travels of Rex Lapis" was born, throwing Liyue Harbor into instant chaos! "This author truly understands the Lord of Geo!" "Is this considered blasphemy against the Emperor?" Zhongli held his teacup, lost in thought: "This perspective... hmm, quite novel." However, Lovia was just getting started: The name Morax conceals twin gods and a life-and-death pact. "The Lord of Geo and the Half-Price Bargain" The Agony of the Guardian Yakshas. The Secrets of Feiyun Commerce Guild. Dragonfall: I Am the Dragon King. The History of the Guizhong Altar: Wrath of the Gods. When her "fan fiction" accurately revealed the hidden truths of Liyue's legends, the entire nation was in turmoil! Finally, the socially awkward girl was found by a beautiful Melusine from Fontaine (her kin). "Sorry I'm late." The once lonely Lovia never imagined she would find a home. But years later, a distinguished guest with elegant features and amber eyes personally came to her door... Lovia (trembling): "Your Majesty... would you believe me if I said I made it all up?" Zhongli (putting down the book): "From a logical point of view, the story is quite intriguing. Perhaps we can... explore it in more depth?"

13 Friends, one promise. Different journeys, one destination. A group of high school friends once in the chaos of youth made a simple promise: to reunite at one of their weddings, no matter what the future held. But as time moves on, some lose touch, others disappear completely, and life takes them in unexpected directions. Now, years later, the chance to fulfill that youthful promise has finally approached—but will everyone return? Blending humor, action, romance, heartbreak, and a dash of wit, this is the story of Sam and his quirky friendship tested by time, and the journey that follows one unforgettable reunion.

In a world where brilliance is engineered and ambition is sharpened like steel, four elite students from Casa de Imperium University stand at the peak of academic excellence. The university is no ordinary institution—it is a hyper-advanced citadel where cutting-edge science, disciplined training, and ruthless standards shape its students into future leaders, innovators, and legends. Within its towering halls, greatness is not encouraged, it is demanded. But Castillian is not complete within those walls alone. The fifth member is an outsider in every sense. A street basketball prodigy who crossed borders illegally to China, driven not by glory but by necessity. He came to survive, to earn, to send money home. On concrete courts under dim streetlights, he forged his talent through hunger, desperation, and raw instinct. Earning a reputation as an underground legend long before he ever wore a proper jersey. Fate pulls them together. Four molded by privilege and precision, one shaped by chaos and survival. Despite their differences—status, background, discipline—they share one unwavering dream: to rise beyond campus leagues and underground courts, and step onto the international basketball stage. To prove that brilliance can be born in laboratories or alleyways. To show that ambition speaks the same language, no matter where it was raised. Five young men who refuse to let the world decide how far they are allowed to go.

Himanshu was just an ordinary eighteen-year-old—an orphan scraping through life—until a heated argument about Karna and Arjuna became the last conversation he would ever have. Struck down by a god’s wrath for daring to question divine actions, his life ends abruptly… but not completely. Before his soul can fade into oblivion, he is summoned by Lord Shiva. Declaring that Himanshu’s death was unjust and premature, Shiva offers him a second chance—one bound not by mercy, but by purpose. A sacred duty awaits him in a world where Dharma is on the verge of collapse. Reborn in the era of the Mahabharata, Himanshu quickly realizes something is terribly wrong. The timeline exists. The kingdoms stand. The great war approaches. But the one who anchors destiny itself… Lord Krishna is missing. Without Krishna, the balance between Dharma and Adharma begins to shatter. Heroes waver. Villains rise unchecked. Fate itself grows unstable. Armed with three extraordinary boons—a mysterious system that rewards his actions, unnatural luck, and unmatched talent in all arts and combat—Himanshu steps into a story that was never meant to unfold this way. But in a world where destiny has lost its guide… Even the smallest change can birth unimaginable consequences. As he navigates alliances, alters events, and challenges the very will of the gods, Himanshu must confront a terrifying truth: Is he here to save this world… —or to decide if it deserves to be saved at all? ====================================== (Author note:) This story was a heavy A.U and all those characters belong's to the OG creator of the epic.

Chen Xiaoyun, an orphan from Guangzhou, China, once met a girl who looked remarkably like him. Before he could learn more about her, a deadly virus was unleashed around the globe. Humans turned into creatures straight out of video games and movies, and zombies and mutants roamed the streets with no one to stop them. From tanks to jockeys to even invisible zombies and mutated dogs. The mutations are just endless. "Why is there a zombie apocalypse just as I find my family? And why can I suddenly create things from thin air?" Will Xiaoyun survive the chaos with the new people he meets along the way? Will he use his newfound abilities to bring peace to a devastated world? Or perhaps he will just take another nap in the bed like a lazy pig—— "Shut up. How am I supposed to do anything when you keep throwing women at me?" ____________ Author's note: There is no NTR or Yuri unless you consider a threesome as Yuri, in which case I have nothing for you.

All my life, Augustus Evans was my rival. Perfect grades. Perfect heir. Perfectly insufferable. When I returned from abroad, fate decided to throw me under his command as his assistant. I thought I could handle him. Until one reckless night changed everything. Until I saw two pink lines on a test. The solution? A contract marriage to save both our family names. The problem? We can’t go one day without arguing… or one night without tearing each other’s clothes off. I promised myself I’d never fall for him. But between stolen kisses, protective touches, and a nursery we’re secretly building together, I’m starting to wonder… What happens when a “fake” marriage starts to feel like forever?

My name is Yotsuba Mahiro, and I'm a transmigrator. Sent to the world of Mahouka by the Isekai Transfer Envoy, I ended up becoming the Yotsuba family's adjustment-type magician. Other than being born with a pair of eyes that can copy all magic and martial arts, perhaps my greatest backing is that cheap mother of mine, Yotsuba Maya. After spending fifteen years in the pitch-black depths of the Fourth Research Institute, that cheap mom suddenly dropped a bomb on me— "Although you're the adjustment magician of the Fourth Institute, you are also my child." "So, giving birth to outstanding heirs for the Yotsuba family is also your duty." Heirs, huh? That's not hard at all. The Ten Master Clans and the Hundred Families—are their bloodlines enough? What if we add Student Council President, Saegusa Mayumi? What if we add lolis from Black Bullet? What if we add the assassin squad from Akame ga Kill? And then, how about a diva from Guilty Crown? … After experiencing ten different worlds, I asked Maya again: "Is this enough now? If not, I can add more!"

Something had changed... Threads on the Great Tapestry of Fate had been compromised and moved. The outskirt rat had been found before the world had the time to truly crush him. New bonds, new laughs, and new pains await ahead.

Yu Jin, who once ascended as the Elden Lord, accidentally crossed into the continent of Teyvat. After a lifetime of endless battles, blood, and fire, he put down his sword for the very first time. What’s this? A glowing fruit at sunset? …Eat it. What’s that? A Fatui agent lurking around? …Poke it. And these? Just normal people? …Kiss them.

Content Notice!!!! This is an alternate-history work featuring reincarnation and supernatural elements. It deals extensively with geopolitics, warfare, religion, ethnicity, imperial power, and morally complex decisions. The narrative portrays real-world inspired historical tensions and uncomfortable subjects without simplification. It is intended for mature readers interested in political strategy, historical speculation, and philosophical conflict. Not recommended for those seeking light entertainment. Although at the beginning there will be comedy, and even slight Romance. And there will be Family Building. --- Reborn as the Iron Prince In his first life, Zhang Ge was no hero. A former child performer turned engineer and logistics analyst, he understood war not as glory—but as systems, supply chains, and men dying because someone miscalculated fuel. Then he died. When he opens his eyes again, he is no longer in the 21st century. He awakens in imperial Germany — inside the body of Prince Oskar of Prussia, fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The year is 1904. Europe stands balanced on a knife’s edge. The Great War is ten years away. And this time… he remembers everything. Armed with knowledge of future catastrophes — trench warfare, naval blockades, industrial slaughter — Oskar refuses to become another ornamental royal. Instead, he begins reshaping the empire from within: Modernizing industry before rivals awaken. Reforming logistics before generals understand their weakness. Building dreadnoughts that rival Britain’s fleet. Forging elite forces that fight with tomorrow’s doctrine. Investing in technology decades ahead of its time. But power attracts enemies. Within the palace, jealous princes whisper. Within the army, old men resist reform. Across Europe, empires grow uneasy at Germany’s sudden acceleration. And in the shadows, forces that do not fly flags begin to move. Oskar does not dream of conquest. He dreams of survival. Yet the stronger he makes Germany, the closer the world drifts toward the very war he is trying to prevent. Can one reincarnated strategist alter the course of history — or will he simply forge a stronger empire for an even greater storm? --- Disclaimer This work is a speculative alternate-history fiction in which a modern man is reborn as Prince Oskar of Prussia and attempts to reshape early 20th-century Europe. While inspired by real historical figures and events, all characterizations, timelines, and outcomes are fictional and should not be interpreted as accurate representations of historical reality.

In a world where superheroes clash and cosmic threats loom, an ordinary Marvel fan from Earth dies and awakens as Alex Kane—a newborn in the MCU, armed with the ultimate cheat: the power to analyze any DNA and selectively replicate the abilities, talents, and traits of heroes, villains, and anyone he encounters. No overpowered system handouts. No instant godhood. Just smart, calculated collection—starting small with empathy from his struggling single mother, subtle intellect boosts from teachers, and fractional super-soldier enhancements stolen in secret. He grinds like the web novel protagonists he once read about: investing in future tech trends he remembers, building a shadowy tech empire from humble game prototypes, and forging an advanced AI that evolves into something rivaling JARVIS. Alex isn't a reckless savior. He's a good man who puts family and true friends first—extending his mother's life with copied resilience, shielding his childhood crew from danger, and quietly reducing civilian deaths in every major battle he influences. He helps the Avengers carry their burdens: easing Tony's guilt, supporting Wanda through her grief, grounding Peter in friendship, and offering Black Widow a rare space of genuine trust. As powers stack—Stark's genius sharpening his mind, Cap's durability hardening his body, Asgardian longevity promising centuries, glimpses of chaos magic and speed—he navigates the timeline with meta-knowledge and ruthless pragmatism. He builds Kane Tech, a company that delivers real-world innovations to help Earth while quietly amassing wealth during Stark's dips and Ultron's chaos. Romances bloom slowly and authentically: deep emotional bonds with Wanda Maximoff (shared understanding of loss and power), Gwen Stacy (intellectual equals navigating hero life), and Natasha Romanoff (mutual respect forged in shadows and missions). No conquests for power—just real connections that grow amid the chaos. Even Nick Fury hesitates to approach him. Alex reads people like open books, exposes Hydra spies worldwide through his AI, and offers advice that cuts too close—making him an invaluable, yet unnerving, ally in the shadows. In a universe racing toward Thanos and beyond, Alex doesn't seek the spotlight. He seeks control, longevity for those he loves, and a world where fewer innocents pay the price for heroes' wars. But as he collects the DNA of gods, monsters, and multiversal threats, one question lingers: How long before the power changes the man who once just wanted to survive—and protect his own? DNA Replication — Smart progression. Genuine bonds. A shadow guardian rewriting the MCU, one copied trait at a time. (Perfect for fans of progression fantasy, careful power scaling, emotional depth, light harem elements, and MCU canon with smart twists!) Written mostly by AI, mostly did it for fun, anyone can use it if you like the story and write better, cause i suck at it!

After all his family members passed away, Riki only had his girlfriend whom he could trust. He gave everything to his girlfriend, Hannah. However, that trust was shattered that night when Riki saw Hannah being hugged by someone he hated deeply, Anton. "Stop bothering me, Riki!

He can give me a luxurious apartment, get me the designer items I’ve always dreamed of! While you don’t even try at all!” “A poor corrupt’s son like you doesn’t deserve the prettiest girl on campus like Hannah; you’ll only tarnish her reputation.” There was no hope, it was pitiful. Riki was beaten by Anton’s thugs. In that narrow, smelly alley, Riki might have to give up his life there. His life was truly pitiful. In the end, he had to die miserably, just like his family.
