Hermi did not volunteer for this marriage. She is a royal bastard, hunted down by a father she has never met, then handed off to a foreign king whose name is whispered like a curse. A perfectly efficient solution for everyone involved. Except Hermi. That foreign king rules a wasteland so barren and forsaken that the six surrounding kingdoms use it as a dumping ground for criminals and exiles. He is rumored to be a tyrant. Every princess sent before her is said to have died within months. Hermi's expectations are, understandably, low. She arrives with exactly one goal: survive long enough to burn her home kingdom to the ground. A modest ambition, all things considered. Survival, however, turns out to be complicated. The land is hostile. Her husband runs cold and scorching in equal measure. The crown on her head feels less like power, and more like a very formal death sentence. Then, somewhere between a wasteland and a husband who wouldn't stop watching her, Hermi awakens something the continent hasn't seen in thousands of years. A magic so ancient and absolute it rewrites the rules of the world. The kind that makes kingdoms nervous. The kind that makes alliances form overnight. Hermi arrived in the wasteland to start a war. She didn't expect to become the reason the entire world has no choice but to declare one against her. — Tags: Dark Romantasy, Morally Grey, Political Intrigue, Kingdom Building, Power Couple, Slow Burn, War, Dragons, Monster Hunt, Magic System, Level Up, Power Growth — Warning: Explicit Gore and Sexual Content

This is a time of great powers: The vast Persia, Sparta that was founded by force, Athens with its trade and business, Thebes the rising star, The ambitious Macedonia, The twin heroes of the Western Mediterranean, The rising Rome and so on. This is an era of brilliant stars: Agesilaus II – the last king of Sparta, Epaminondas – the Rising General of Thebes, Philip II – the founder of Macedonian’s hegemon, Dionysius – the tyrant of Syracuse, Camillus – the Roman dictator and savior… This is an era of contention among a hundred schools of thought: Plato – the great philosopher, Antisthenes – founder of cynicism, Pythagoras – school of number, Democritus – the encyclopedia scholar, Hippocrates – the father of western medicine, Aristophanes – the great dramatist… What will the hero bring to the world when he comes to this age as a humble mercenary through rebirth?

A world of magic. A "mage" born without it. And an outrageous f*cking crew. In the Valley Kingdom, where steampunk meets futurism and powerful magic means status, a Guild named the Black Wolves stand wildly apart. Their acting captain, Greed, carries neither magic nor nobility, only a title he never wanted and a forgotten past. Though he has no magic, he has another power that defies it—along with a crew as unhinged as they are loyal and who all have their own insanely broken abilities: A Ghost-mage whose eyepatch hides more than it covers. A powerhouse who hits like a Behemoth and naps for sport. A vice captain more promising than most high-ranking mages, but only wants to spend the days cooking. A horned lunatic with a superiority complex and an obsession for her acting captain. A cyborg. A wolfdog the size of a lyconbear. And others off on missions or prolonged duties—each with their own unique quirks. The Black Wolves only have a single goal: to live a life as meaningless and carefree as possible. But when a conspiracy threatens to swallow the Valley—and pins the crime on them—they become fugitives in the very Kingdom they called home. As they fight to clear their names and face an enemy that seeks to destroy everything—the Black Wolves, ironically, become the Valley’s last line of defense. And everyone's last hope. Expect: - Black Clover meets Final Fantasy meets JJK meets Vox Machina - NOT isekai, transmigration, evolution, system, or cultivation. Go look for that elsewhere - OP MC from the start with no magic [NOT ANTI-MAGIC], progressively gets even more OP - Harem relationships in the beginning, moderate fanservice and some sex scenes (hate me), and strong romance subplot towards the end with only one girl - Classic slow-paced story with character development, backstories, perspectives from multiple characters, stats and ability descriptions, intricate plot, worldbuilding, and of course tons of fighting - A long, ongoing story Written and conjured by J.N.

Li Daoxuan received a strange scenic box. Inside the box, there was an ancient village, and a group of plastic figures, holding swords and knives, hacking and slashing through the village. He bent his finger and flicked it towards a most conspicuous figure... Late in the Ming Dynasty, in Shaanxi, there was a great drought in the land. A gang of mountain bandits was looting, burning, killing, and plundering in the village. A poor maiden was about to be killed under a mountain bandit's blade. Suddenly, a giant hand stretched out from the clouds, bent a finger, flicked it, and the mountain bandit was flung several dozen yards away.

I am a Ghost. No, I will not be going into the specifics of how I became a Ghost. That's why the prologue exists damn it. Read it if you are that curious. Bottomline, I am a Ghost. Not your average boring, wretched looking type of Ghost if I might add. Think of Tensei Shitara, Slime Reincarnation. Think, Kumo Desu, Spider Reincarnation. Overlord, Ainz Mister Bone Reincarnation, or was it Transmigration in his case?... My point is, think of those Isekai type novels and that's where you will find me sitting and chilling. Basically am saying that's the type of Ghost setting I have. So yeah, nothing more to say, I suppose. Aside of course a quick reminder that well... I Am A Ghost. What to Expect: Monster evolution & progression system Unique possession-based combat Dark humor & chaotic MC energy Strategic fights and unconventional growth A morally flexible protagonist who does whatever feels fun

“To protect what remains.” With that… The Hollow Knight departed. But now with no further Pantheons remaining, no unresolved gods to test, and no remaining purpose within Godhome’s structure, the Shade Lord leaves. They do not emerge enlightened. They emerge thinking. The Shade Lord does not return to Hallownest immediately out of longing or duty. They return later—only after recognising a delayed truth that they wish they knew before: Hollownest cannot be saved. But it can still be violated. ——— For the image cover, credits to "Descent" on Instagram! Image edited — by me.

Reincarnating into a fantasy world is truly extraordinary, especially a fantasy world with a backdrop of Heroes and Demon Lords; it was a recipe for an exhilarating and incredible adventure. That’s what Damien is experiencing right now, reincarnating into the Tensuraverse. But the first thing that crossed his mind after reincarnating wasn’t whether he was part of the grand scheme of the battle between Hero and Demon Lord, but whether he had reincarnated as one of the weakest creatures in the entire world… a Slime? Fortunately, he didn’t suffer such an unfortunate fate. But as the saying goes, if you're so lucky for no reason, misfortune will be the price you pay. Although he didn’t reincarnate as a slime, he reincarnated as a Hybrid Majin-Human instead. To make matters worse, he was reincarnated in a region that adheres to the anti-monster doctrine of a certain Demon Lord’s church, a perfect recipe for discrimination and ostracism against him. But luckily, it seems the Voice of the World took pity on him for enduring such a fate and granted him [Planeswalker]. A Unique Skill that allows him to explore another worlds freely. Incredible, right? But that’s not all. In addition to this skill, he was given a skill that makes him stronger with every powerful familiar he possesses. No doubt about it, with these two skills, his future is bright… Servants, Pokémon, Majin, Beasts, and all the powerful fictional characters he once admired… it seems that building his own kingdom composed entirely of his familiars is the surefire path to becoming the strongest! -- [Tensura] [Pokémon] [Nasuverse] [Konosuba] [Highschool DxD] [Kumo desu ga Nani ka?] [Soul Land] [Dungeon Fighter Online] [No Game No Life] [Mondaiji-tachi]... and others.

At this moment, Merlin has just announced the matter of the Sword in the Stone, declaring that "he who pulls out this sword shall be the divinely chosen king."

Ralph transmigrated into the world of One Piece. Right at the start, he was rescued by Luffy — only to discover, in shock, that Luffy had become a cute short-haired girl! Luffy… a girl?!!! Luffy had turned into Lufia — how was this adventure supposed to unfold now? She’s the granddaughter of a Marine vice admiral, the daughter of a revolutionary, and since childhood has been led astray by a certain red-haired pirate, dreaming of becoming the Pirate King. She’s optimistic, passionate, and full of dreams. Along the journey, regardless of gender, people are inspired by her, gathering around her as friends.

Arshdeep Singh wasn’t normal. While others wasted time on trends and distractions, he spent his days buried in history—especially one era he could never let go of: The rise of the Sikh Empire. He studied it. Broke it down. Obsessively thought about what went wrong. And more importantly—how it could have been different. Technology. Administration. Military reform. In his mind, he had already rebuilt it a hundred times. But it was all useless. Just history. Until he woke up inside it. Now living as Nau Nihal Singh, heir to an empire on the edge, Arshdeep finds himself in the exact moment he had spent years thinking about. A powerful state. A fragile future. And a collapse that, in his original world, was inevitable. Except now— He isn’t just studying it. He’s inside it. Armed with modern knowledge of technology, governance, and warfare, along with an almost obsessive understanding of where everything goes wrong, Arshdeep is determined to do what history failed to achieve. Not just survive. Not just rule. But rebuild the empire into something that cannot fall. Because this time— He refuses to let it end the same way.
