"I am the rot in your foundation. I will crawl back from hell and bury this world." Those were Red’s final words as his classmates watched him dissolve. They stole his life force to fuel their own ascensions, becoming Paladins, Sages, and Kings. They threw his empty husk into the Abyss, satisfied the 'Terrorist's Son' was finally gone. But death was not the end. While his body lay broken in the abyss, his soul drifted to the sanctuary of a Forgotten God. Awakening the forbidden SSS-Rank Talent [Exponential Divinity - 100x Growth], Red realizes that in this world, he doesn't need heroes, he needs monsters. From the chitin of hyper-evolved insects to dragons, from eldritch horrors to the nightmares sleeping in the dark, he begins to construct a civilization that defies the natural order. Under his hand, the weak do not just survive, they evolve into calamities. The Heroes are leveling up in their golden towers. The Gods are watching from their thrones. But in the shadows, Red’s Strongest Civilization is already preparing for war. [Betrayed and sacrificed, I awakened an SSS-Rank Talent. While others struggle to build a village, my civilization grows 100x faster.] Tags- #Kingdom Building #Civilization #Lit-RPG #Wars #Beast Taming #Game #Simulation #Overpowered #Gobal Lords #Level up #Weak to Strong #Revenge #Evolution === Join the discord server for maps, and character illustrations!

Robert Sylvester Kelly. 17 years old. Chicago. Unknown. Broke. Hungry. Talented. — But the soul inside him was not his. — The man who woke up in that body was normal. No killer. No monster. No villain hiding behind a smile. Just a regular man who died before his life ever became anything worth remembering. — And then— He opened his eyes as a name history already hated. — A voice that could shake churches. A body still young enough to change. A future full of fame, money, women, music, scandal, rot, and prison. A legacy already waiting to become poison. — But this Robert is different. He knows what the name becomes. He knows what the world remembers. He knows talent is not enough to save a man from himself. — So he has one choice. Become the legend without becoming the stain. Rewrite the songs. Rewrite the fame. Rewrite the man. — Because history already created R. Kelly. Now someone else has to survive being him. ------------------------------------------ Author Note: This is a spin-off of my other story (I Became Beyonce's Half Sister) and is a part of the I.C.T.M.H.I universe.

I was reborn as Portgas D. Ace, the son of the Pirate King. In the original story, I was supposed to live in the shadow of my father’s 'sin,' join Whitebeard as a loyal son, and die with a hole in my chest at Marineford. To that, I say: Screw the plot! I didn't come to this world to be a tragic footnote. I was born with a soul mutation that grants me two Devil Fruits, a monstrous reserve of energy that never fades, and a Conqueror’s Haki that screams for the world to kneel. I’m not playing the 'Good Son' for Whitebeard, and I’m certainly not running from the Marines. I’m founding the Eclipse Pirates. I don't care about the Pirate King's throne—I'm going to be the only Sovereign this sea has ever seen. The era of 'The Son of Roger' is over. The era of the Eclipse has begun.

In a world where unseen demons dwell within human hearts, quietly spreading corruption and discord, a boy named Elham struggles with a simple truth—he is nothing. He has no strength, no skill, no place in a society that values contribution above all. As whispers of darkness spread through his village, Elham awakens a power unlike any other. Elham is sixteen when he leaves the only village he has ever known, carrying a warmth in his chest he cannot explain, a staff that belonged to a man that was his father, and a commission from an archangel that lingers like a warning: you will fail, and you will stand again—go and find the seven. Traveling with Asher, a quiet swordsman whose strength feels heavier than it should, Elham enters a world where truth is never whole and something unseen moves beneath every decision.

In 2069, the United States was moving toward a second frontier era, a second Manifest Destiny across the solar system.

Comanche must explore the connections of this new world and the wonders discovered on Mars, confront the darkness known as the Unity in its global conquest, and above all, protect the US and the rest of Earth from this new threat.

Arc One Complete. *** Everyone else capped at 20. Will Wick woke up with 30 Luck and an error message where his ceiling should be. That was the least strange part of his morning. The voice in his head—ancient, unimpressed, and absolutely certain Will is doing everything wrong—belongs to history's greatest conqueror. Genghis Khan has reviewed Will's memories, assessed his life choices, and has opinions. Loud ones. The main one being: the trillion-dollar corporation that harvested humanity's souls to power their own empire needs to be dismantled. Sector by sector. Server by server. Until the cage they built around this world belongs to someone else. Khan has done this before. Last time it was the Eurasian steppe. The principle, he insists, is exactly the same. Will already lost his family to the cold, corporate math of the old world. Now he's stranded 100,000 years in the future, on an Earth that healed itself while humanity was gone, facing billionaires who bought their way to power before the System even dropped. Genghis thinks this is fine. Genghis has a plan. Will is pretty sure the plan involves conquering everything. He's not wrong.

In a world on the brink of collapse, Daniel stood as humanity’s last hope—the first Awakened, a man who defied beasts, conquered otherworldly invaders, and confronted the very structure of reality itself. And yet, even he fell. Faced with an existence beyond defeat, his end seemed inevitable… until his ten disciples made an impossible choice. Sacrificing everything, they sent him back—beyond time, beyond space—to the very beginning of it all. Now, armed with forbidden knowledge and a power that should not exist, Daniel returns to a world that has not yet faced its ruin. But this time, he is not merely trying to survive the coming collapse—he begins a silent process of reshaping civilization itself, dismantling old systems while laying the foundations of a new order. Cities fall before they can ever become empires. What once was war becomes planning. And slowly, the world starts to be reorganized as a conscious construction. But he will not merely fight against fate. He will rewrite it. °°° Note: A long journey of gradual and consistent progression, focused on character growth, worldbuilding, and multiple POVs. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com

“Change is the only constant in every world.” Long before crowns, titles, or legends, there was a world that still believed in continuity. This story follows the rise of the Kingdom of Hearts—not as a tale of conquest, but of endurance. Of a king shaped by survival rather than ambition. Of a realm built not from destiny, but from choice. In a world reshaped by the Mushroom War, where time fractures and memory becomes the only form of permanence, this is a story about what is lost, what is remembered, and what it means to keep living when everything else has already ended. Author’s Note: This story was originally written in Portuguese and translated into English with AI assistance. Minor revisions were made for clarity and flow.

Recently, a special correspondent conducted an exclusive interview with Pei Qian, President of Tengda Group. Tengda Group, now valued at hundreds of billions, operates across various sectors such as gaming, internet services, digital hardware, cultural media, and restaurants, significantly impacting numerous aspects of daily life. Pei Qian himself is widely regarded as the "World’s Best Boss," an unparalleled investment genius, and a brilliant game developer. He is known for his effortless leadership style and keen ability to precisely forecast industry trends. However, during the interview, Pei Qian expressed deep frustration: “I’m truly not some kind of business genius!” “My success is entirely due to luck!” “My initial goal was merely to lose fifty thousand yuan…” See? This is exactly how a genuine business genius maintains humility and modesty.
