Wen Mang is only a history UP host. Yet every time he posts a video, the people arguing in the comments are… Liu Bei. Guan Yu. Zhang Fei. Zhao Yun. Zhuge Kongming. A mysterious light curtain descends, replaying the true fate of the Three Kingdoms—unchanged, merciless, and brutally honest. Liu Bei watches his empire collapse and asks in disbelief: “Shu Han… ended like this? And even my statue was expelled from Wuhou Shrine?” Guan Yu sees himself drowned, defeated, deified—and used. “So this is how history remembers the Martial Saint?” Zhang Fei learns his own end and falls silent for a long, long time. “Is this really… all I amounted to?” Zhao Yun witnesses seven entries and seven exits become a legend— yet still cannot save the world he fought for. And Zhuge Kongming… He doesn’t ask about victory or defeat. He asks one question only: “If such a light curtain exists— can history be rewritten?” From military formations to aircraft carriers, from grain transport to industrial warfare, modern knowledge crashes into ancient ambition. Old regrets awaken. Unfinished oaths resurface. And once the heroes understand why they lost… Will they still accept the ending history gave them? When the curtain lights up again, the Three Kingdoms are already on a different path.

The most intelligent picture ever taken: Participants of the 5th Solvay Conference on Quantum Mechanics, 1927. 17 of the 29 attendees were or became Nobel Prize winners. A Youth had this picture in his pocket while sitting at a bus stand, was it Moscow in a snowy place? or in some village in Japan with a rainy platform? Or a busy NYC bus stop where water is thrown by a passing Ferrari ? It doesn't matter as someone who once decided to be a superstar in physics ended up being another corporate manager asking people to do something he knows nothing about! As he watches the last carrier go he stands up to cross this road and walks alone like another day in solidarity but... Gets hit by truck- kun and reincarnates into a magical world of science and mana as a third-grade noble teaching one of the most prestigious classes of "Moonlight Enclave of Wizardry" where young teenagers complete their senior year and venture into this university. Will our transmigrator finally be able to be a physicist or would this be another cliche harem seeking protag with superpower and family to save and restore? *Cover is AI generated Imposing original 5SC pic with prompt

"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how. But glory… glory is the answer. Glory will outlive flesh and bones. Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality." ~~~~ Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything—except the will to make use of it. "Why should I walk the same path as my ancestors? Why must I seek strength just to defeat one rival or compete with another? That is not what I was born for!" --- “…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

When he awoke, he found himself in a strange new world—reborn as an ant humanoid. Stripped of his human form and forced to survive in a brutal colony, he soon realized that the very creatures he once loathed now surrounded him. Will his hatred for ants waiver? Faced with merciless training, towering enemies, and a past that haunts him, Ari must navigate this unforgiving new life. Will he succumb to his hatred, or will he rise above it and carve out a new purpose in a world where survival means everything?

They say "Heavy is the head that wears the crown." ​Lies. ​Heavy is the head of the guy who has to pay for the crown after his idiot brother smashed the previous King into paste. ​My name is Wilhelm Storm. I am the illegitimate son of a noble House, the stain on the family tapestry, and the newly appointed Master of Coin for a city with zero gold, negative food reserves, and an army that wants to hang us. ​We are the Usurpers. My brother sits on a stolen throne, but the real war isn't on the battlefield. It's in the treasury. ​The Granary just burned down (sabotage, obviously). ​The Dragons of the Firelands have blockaded our trade routes. ​The Archbishop is a lunatic who thinks flaying skin is a form of prayer. ​And the Nobility is smiling at us while sharpening knives under the table. ​But the real kicker? The System. ​In this world, mana isn't free. You don't meditate to get it back. You eat. You metabolize. You bleed. ​Want to cast a Fireball? That’ll cost you a steak dinner and a nosebleed. Want to teleport? Hope you don't mind losing a liter of blood and passing out in front of your enemies. ​I have a Spirit Level of 19, a Body Level of "Peasant," and a council that includes a child-Pope, a seven foot tank who thinks I’m squishy, and a King who is too busy mourning to rule. ​I can't out fight the knights. I can't out-magic the Archangels. So I have to out-think them. I have to cook the books, bribe the gods, and steal dragon eggs to make the world's biggest omelet before the peasants eat us alive. ​Welcome to the Moonclaw. Politics is just war without the mercy. ​What to expect: ​Hardcore LitRPG: Magic relies on biology. Blood volume, caloric intake, and body temperature matter. No free power ups. ​Game of Thrones meets Dungeon Crawler Carl: High-stakes political intrigue, backstabbing nobles, and brutal warfare mixed with dark humor and a System that actively hates you. ​Survival Kingdom Building: It’s not just about building walls; it’s about finding enough protein to stop the city from starving. ​The Smartest Rat in the Room: Wilhelm survives by using physics, accounting fraud, and dirty tricks against enemies who are ten times stronger. ​Brutal Combat & Dungeon Dives: From commanding armies in city wide sieges to hunting Ice Golems in the sewers for loot. If it has a health bar, we will kill it.

Takayama Kaito reincarnated expecting the usual: broken powers, flashy magic, or some overpowered unique ability. But what he got was a normal world.

I wrote a book once. It was an unhinged fantasy born from my high-school brain, driven by loneliness and too many hormones. It was a world of beastmen, wild freedom, and the kind of romantic attention I could never get in real life. I poured every impossible desire into it: adventure, danger, and yes… a 'lot' of handsome partners. Before I knew it, I had a thousand chapters of pure escapism and pure thrill. Then on a college camping trip, I fell off a cliff. I expected to wake up in a hospital room but nope. I woke up on a soft field of grass, with air too fresh to belong anywhere on Earth. And then something moved behind me. Sticking out of my tailbone was... A tail. My tail? Yellow and black stripes and very, very real. I touched it. Completely real. My ears? Also gone—well, moved. They were now perched on top of my head like a confused jungle cat. And the outfit? Quite revealing, made of animal hide which matched my tail. What was going on? At first, I thought it was a prank. Or a dream. Or maybe karma is finally cashing in. But the more foreign memories evaded my mind, the clearer my situation became. This wasn't cosplay and it wasn't Earth, either. And—surprise—it wasn't even the world from my own book. Welp. I had been transported into a completely different Beastman world as a beast girl called Arinya. Sounds fun, right? Well… it would be, if I weren't apparently the ugliest duckling in the entire freaking savannah! Rejected by every potential mate I stumbled across and sneered at like a freaking eyesore. This was not how I planned my fantasy to come to reality. Trust me—if this is my fantasy come true, then someone needs to fire the author. But then again, after entering this world, I'm suddenly... Attractive. I mean, there's no change to my face and the freckles are still there, but for some reason, handsome beastmen begin to flock around me, because I smell... Pleasant. What's that all about?

For the first time in years, joy surged through his heart as he rushed back to his sister—his only family. ‎ ‎But fate is never kind for long. ‎On his way home, Marfin fell into a mysterious trap and encountered an unknown being.

Note: (Disclaimer at end of abstract). Synopsis: "In the heart of the boundless Phantom Continent, rests a cursed region smack in the centre of all that is known, aptly named as the Central Region. A domain shrouded in perpetual gloom, despair clings to every shadow and its sole purpose seems to be crushing the souls and dreams of the unfortunate souls that take shelter upon its land. Life is a fight for Existence and Reality however cruel, is alas never what it seems to be. Whispers of precious ore, ancient artefacts and ruins of ancient civilisations only lead to ruin - factions descend to lay claim to these scraps like vultures, blades quench the thirst of the land with rivers of fire, which mirror the stars from afar that flicker in isolation with an insatiable desire. Amongst the chaotic lands, a tale starts. An adventure, a mistake, a ghost, a foreigner, a world, many worlds, alliances, betrayals, intertwined fates and dangers fraught at every corner. A protagonist that isekai's into a still living being in an earnest bid to grow stronger and a pitiful soul that longs for what was once share a mysterious bond. Destiny is calling, the line between the living and dead is blurred, the powerful shape Reality, however amongst this rollercoaster of events, the shadows vie for their own nefarious purposes, for the shadows are always watching. As if life wasn't a misery as it were, it hit Zuck Borris with the roll of a die - the odds were never in his favour. Firstly, a stranger gave him the old boot - throwing his soul out to the dogs in the streets. Then a mysterious voice started talking to him. Yet it didn't seem to be doing him any favours in reclaiming his flesh and bones. Meanwhile that backstabbing fiend didn't even notice his existence and already seemed to be bringing trouble to his body. Roland, however, was as calm as the ocean bed. Some ignorant fools seemed to be scheming against him. Ever since he answered that damn call, his life seemed to become more troublesome. However, perhaps there was some part of him that smirked at this opportunity, to gain control over his life with enough strength to face all that may come his way. Who protects this Reality, that Reality and everything in between? Can a mortal man spit upon the immortal obstacle that tightens its grasp to crush all beneath it? Can the rivers burn what they touch as the worlds collide and the sun is all but lost? Are answers always to be sought? Turn that chapter if you so dare..." Disclaimers: There will be content in this webnovel that covers potential sensitive areas to some, including - violence (fighting), abusive language (swearing / cussing), concepts of self-harm (some bullied characters may consider self-harm), divide in society (different factions/ power levels) & other similar concepts that usually apply to any cultivation/ sci-fi webnovel. Also, the start is more world-building focused, so do saddle in your seatbelts and work through the first 20 chapters to get a feel of what we have in store. :)
