In a futuristic world . a group of wealthy elites becomes obsessed with transcending humanity. Believing ordinary humans to be weak and fragile, they pour their fortunes into a secret project to create the perfect superhuman,one with immense power and the potential for immortality. To bring their vision to life, they recruit the world's brightest geneticists, biologists, and medical scientists. But such an experiment requires human test subjects. Disguising the project as a high-paying employment opportunity, they advertise across the globe, luring desperate people with promises of wealth and a better future. Among those who answer the call is Xia Zhao, a young woman born and raised in the United States. Working tirelessly as a waitress to support her gravely ill father, Xia sees the offer as her only chance to save him. Blinded by hope and driven by desperation, she signs up without knowing the horrifying truth. The last thing Xia remembers is arriving at a mysterious research facility, where she is told that everything within its walls is strictly confidential. Then... darkness. When Xia awakens, she finds herself emerging from a glass pod inside a ruined laboratory. The once-bustling facility is now silent, its halls littered with destruction and devoid of the scientists who once occupied it. Stepping outside, she is met with an even greater nightmare. The city has become a lifeless wasteland. Buildings stand abandoned, the streets are eerily quiet, and grotesque humanoid creatures wander aimlessly through the ruins. Confused and alone, Xia has no idea how much time has passed, what caused humanity's downfall, or what has become of the world she once knew. Now, she must embark on a terrifying journey to uncover the truth. What destroyed civilization? How long was she trapped inside that pod? Are there any survivors left? And above all... What happened to her father?

- That Time They Reincarnated a Rapper - You’d think dying would be the worst part. Not for Jean Vinson. After a brutal end in his previous life, Jean wakes up in a wild new world where music is replaced by magick, souls are sources of power, and gods exist within mortals. Now reborn as Xiro Mikazuki, he’s dropped into Arcadia—where power ain’t given, it’s taken. Where M-Cees (Mana Controllers) throw more than just spells, they build legacies, lead armies, and shape entire nations. And if you're weak? You get erased. But Xiro ain’t built like everybody else. He’s got a prototype Soul Core that shouldn’t exist. A mental disorder-turned-power up. A mind that evolves mid-fight like it’s downloading updates. And a personality that’ll talk reckless to your favorite god—while backing it up. Skills are coded into the soul. Ultra Abilities are named after albums and hit just as hard. Faith can buff you. Fame can get you killed. And the strongest beings in existence? They are farming entire worlds for power, all of this dressed in the paint of a video game. From dungeon raids that feel like boss battles to squad fights moving like perfectly choreographed anime openings, Xiro and the Wolfpak move with one rule: If the system tries to limit you—break that shit, then build something better. But as he climbs, one thing becomes clear: This ain’t just about strength. This is about control. Identity. Legacy. Because the deeper he goes, the more he realizes—the system ain’t broken. It was built this way on purpose. And now the Outer Gods are watching, waiting for him to fail… But they forgot one thing: Xiro don’t follow scripts. Xiro writes the soundtrack. Will he tear the system down... Or turn it into his own kingdom? Join Xiro as he recounts the tale. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning !!! If the use of the N-Word or African-American Vernacular English offends you, this is NOT the book series for you. * Who Will Love It Readers who like: - Overpowered Protagonists - Harems - Anime-Style Escalation - Progression Fantasy Systems - Dark Fantasy Politics - Explicit Mature Content - Hip-Hop References - Irreverent Narration - Mythological/Cosmic Lore - Found Family - Antihero Kings - Romance mixed with Violence - Big Emotional Power-ups - “Rule of Cool” with actual internal logic Those readers are gonna eat. * Who Might Bounce Off Readers who want: - Very clean traditional prose - Minimal profanity - Slow-burn subtle romance only - Low-density magic systems - Restrained power scaling - Smaller casts - No explicit adult material - Traditional heroic morality Those readers may struggle.

Her lover died trying to protect her, and she spent the next five years struggling to survive, until she finally died in the apocalypse.

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.

From Pig-Faced Trash to the Most Wanted Mate in Beastworld! * * * Aurora died as she lived - feared, skilled, and alone. As a world-class assassin of the 21st century, she expected death to be the end. Instead, she awakens in a primitive Beastworld in the body of a girl who shares her name but nothing else. The original owner of her body was not only overweight, despised, and carried filthy reputation, but she's so hated that even children throw stones at her. And worst of all? She wakes up straddling a bound, enraged, devastatingly handsome Alpha wolf she apparently drugged in an attempt to force him into mating. Aurora immediately realizes she has transmigrated into a complete disaster. With death looming, a ruined name, and a body that can barely run - she has no time to panic. Especially not when a mysterious System binds itself to her and issues a cold command - [Save the Beastworld from extinction… or be erased.] In a world where females are rare, weak, and dying out, and powerful beastmen rule with instinct and dominance, Aurora must survive by relying on the only things she still owns - her deadly skills and forgotten medical knowledge.

All while unintentionally capturing the hearts of the most powerful beastmen alive. Because this time, the "trash" female they all despised is the one who will make them kneel. --- **A reverse-harem fantasy romance filled with danger, humor, slow-burn love, and a heroine who refuses to be broken.**

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.
