As only later he understands that he has to do something that he is the best at - LOVE. Villians are justified and protagonists are crticized, only until the world thinks through a dopamine-hijacked brain. Once people start to feel from their heart, humanity reaches its Zenith. All the fallacies against love shall fumble, once the right and righteous person takes up his weapon. Also found on RoyalRoad.com

The beginning of the apocalypse brought chaos and disaster to humanity. It tore away the mask of society and revealed the cruelty hiding beneath. Ivy Ravencroft experienced it all firsthand. Her family was unfair and cruel, and they abused her so badly that she went blind. Her lover died trying to protect her, and she spent the next five years struggling to survive, until she finally died in the apocalypse. But then, Ivy woke up again, reborn in the first year of the apocalypse. At first, she felt hopeless. If only she had returned to a time before the apocalypse, she could have gathered food, weapons, and supplies to survive better. Still, she was grateful for one thing: she had kept her special ability, the power to create safe zones. This time, Ivy made a promise. She would protect her lover, find her real family, and take revenge on everyone who had hurt her. .................................. "Huh? Why is there a bento box lying here?" Ivy asked, confused. "What bento? Are you trying to trick me again?" Silas asked, sadness in his eyes. "This one!" Ivy said, holding up the packaged meal and waving it at him. "What the... where did that come from?" Silas stared at it in shock. Ivy’s eyes widened. She realized something, only she could see these items, and when she picked them up, they became real. "Can… I buy it from you?" Silas asked, unsure. "Of course. But I won't give it to you for free." Ivy smiled like a fox. Silas closed his eyes; he was ready for her to demand something sky-high and said, "Okay. Tell me how many gold bars you want." Ivy smiled and teased, "I don't want gold bars; they are way too cheap. I want one kiss." Silas: Blushing hard. His subordinates: "..." This wave of dog food was too unexpected! ....................................................... With the supplies, picking a superpower and a safe zone superpower, Ivy built her own residential area. She gained Kindness Energy and multiplied supplies with the help of Temporal Storage. While other bases struggled to make a simple house, she used her golden finger to make luxurious buildings and rent them out, becoming the big shot in the apocalypse.

The Jura-Tempest Federation is lively as ever on this particular afternoon. "Wahahaha! Kai-chan, give up! You can't catch me!" Milim, hands on hips, gloated shamelessly at the young man hovering in the sky above her. "Milim. You stole Rimuru's pudding again." "Hehe! I'm the Demon King!" A silver-haired maid appeared silently behind her, pocket watch in hand. "Milim-sama. Three days. No pudding." Milim slowly turned around. "S-Sakuya! It was Rimuru's fault, I swear!!" The maid grabbed her by the collar and dragged her off without another word. "AHHHHH!! I know I was wrong!! Kai-chan, SAVE ME!!" The roadside crowd watched on. "Fifth time this month." "The Demon Slayer Corps is basically a road repair team now." "At least you only have roads. Milim-sama sank an island in the pirate world last week. Admiral Akainu broke four desks." "Don't even get me started on the Ninja World..." Kaito watched it all unfold and quietly mourned. 'Milim... my peaceful life.'

But Eliana is no ordinary victim. Forced to become the Don’s mistress, she quickly learns that survival isn’t enough. She watches. She listens. She adapts. While rival mistresses scheme and blood stains marble floors, Eliana rises, earning the Don’s trust, mastering his system, and secretly building power of her own. They think she belongs to him. They don’t know she’s studying him. As she climbs higher within the empire, Eliana begins crafting something far more dangerous than revenge — a silent army, trained in the shadows, waiting for her command.

Tired of standard Xianxia tropes? I wrote an Epic Progression Fantasy based on ancient Vietnamese Mythology Hello everyone! If you are looking for a fresh take on cultivation, kingdom-building, and epic cosmic battles, I’d love to introduce my novel, The Epic of Lac Viet. Instead of standard Daoist tropes, this story dives deep into the untapped richness of ancient Vietnamese mythology—featuring the Dong Son Bronze Drums, the mythical Lac Bird, and the primordial Dragon-Fairy bloodline. Synopsis: The story follows Tran Kien, a calm and fiercely determined youth. When his homeland faces annihilation by the descent of the Nine-Tiered Heavenly Palace and vengeful spirits from the Underworld, he accidentally resonates with a supreme ancient artifact. Starting as a humble cultivator, Kien must navigate a treacherous path, forge alliances, and build an unstoppable army to protect his people. His journey isn't about selfish immortality; it's about pushing the boundaries of mortality to challenge the Heavenly Emperor himself. What to expect: • [+] A Brand New World: Deep lore based on actual Vietnamese ancient history and mythology. • [+] Progression Fantasy & Cultivation: Meaningful Weak-to-Strong progression, evolving into reality-warping, cosmic-level battles. • [+] Kingdom Building: Epic scale warfare, strategy, and army management. • [+] The Protagonist: Calm, hardworking, and deeply anchored by his duty to his homeland. (No harem, no mindless arrogance). • [+] Slow-burn Epic: A massive, layered world that rewards patient readers. The Best Part? As an author, I hate dropped novels as much as you do. That’s why I already have a massive backlog of 700 chapters completely outlined and drafted. I am publishing DAILY updates, so you never have to worry about this story going on hiatus.

To outsiders, it looks ordinary. Inside, however, she sells things this world should never have seen. Firearms. Ammunition. Weapons capable of changing the outcome of wars. But the woman running this shop is not truly from this world. After dying in the modern era, her soul transmigrates into the abandoned daughter of an Emperor and Queen Consort. Cast aside since birth due to the lack of a spirit core, she grew up far from the palace that should have been her home. Now guided by a mysterious, sassy system, she begins building a business empire from a small storefront. What starts as simple transactions soon attracts powerful nobles, military factions, and secret organizations desperate to obtain the terrifying technology she controls. As her influence grows, dangerous figures gather around her. An Android who develops romantic feelings for her. A nobleman with a gentle soul who becomes her love. A possessive mythical demon king who constantly tempts her through lust. A Commander who looks like her first love from the other world. A prince who wishes to give her the entire kingdom just to be with her. An elf priest who is supposed to practice celibacy. She constantly draws men to her side, through either her beauty, using their curiosity, or whatever other means. And behind it all lies her true purpose. Revenge against her mother, who abandoned her. ****

Carmilla never expected that she would be punished for living a faithful life and dedicating herself to doing good for society. If not for her calm temperament and good character, she would have stormed the divine courtroom and smashed the face of the angel who clearly had no idea how to deliver proper judgement. Ten thousand years in the lower world as punishment—if that wasn’t hell, then what was? Still, it was better than spending two hundred years working as a customer service employee in actual hell. At first, Carmilla believed she was destined to suffer after being cast into the lower world. However, to her surprise, she soon discovered that the place resembled the world from a game she had played before her death. And if she remembered correctly, that game world was far from ordinary. It certainly didn’t seem like the kind of “lower world” the crooked angel had described. Did the angel make a mistake? The more Carmilla thought about it, the more she felt like she was going insane. Because the game world was WORSE than hell!!

As long as I can manage an unnatural death, I’ll ascend to the Throne of Heroes—becoming its master, stronger and freer than any of the Seven Grand Servants." "So, I started courting death all across the Nasuverse." "I openly insulted the King of Heroes to his face, challenged the almighty Zeus in Greece, abducted Scathach in broad daylight in the Norse realm, declared in Israel that Solomon was a demon god rather than the Son of God, and in Britain, I went so far as to publicly side with Morgan..." "But tell me—why am I still alive?" ... Fuyuki, 1994. A man of many names: the third companion of the Oldest King, the First Vizier of Mesopotamia, the favored of the Greek gods, King of the Giants in the Norse lands, the divine incarnation who awakened Solomon’s humanity in Israel, the prince’s right hand in Camelot... Rovi, whose face was young but whose eyes carried the weight of ages, sat atop the Fuyuki Bridge. With a weary sigh, he looked at the people before him. “So, where do you think it all went wrong?” He lowered his voice, half-pleading, half-desperate: “How about... you kill me? Just let me ascend to the Throne, please—I’m begging you!” Emiya Kiritsugu lit a cigarette, glancing at Artoria beside him, who’d raised Rhongomyniad; at Gilgamesh, whose Gate of Babylon shimmered ominously behind him; at the blood-red spearhead emerging from the shadows of the Land of Shadows...The hand holding his cigarette trembled, just a little. === discord.gg/wisetl
