Born into a baron's family as the overlooked third child, Cheryl was always the one forgotten, ignored, and overshadowed. His siblings shone, while he faded into the background. When his Awakening finally came, fate mocked him again, bestowing him with low-tier abilities and throwing him into the academy's lowest section, a place mocked as the haven for rejects and nerds. But what no one realizes is that this is exactly where his path begins. Hidden within those useless powers lies the key to something terrifying: the ability to reach beyond limits, to crawl up from nothing, and to carve his name among gods. Witness Cheryl's climb as he outwits his siblings, shatters noble hierarchies, and rises from the dust, proving that even the forgotten can rewrite destiny. In this world, you're either a winner or a loser. Cheryl refuses to be the latter.. _____________________________________ Note: Update stability may vary per week, but it won't go below 7 chapters per week.

After the Forsaken War, the heroes stood victorious. The Hollowed Ones were destroyed. Their leader was slain. The world was saved. What followed was meant to be a Golden Era—an age of peace promised by blood and sacrifice. But the war did not end when the battles stopped. It lingered in the minds of the victors. Paranoia replaced hope. Fearing the rise of another catastrophe, the heroes began to interfere with fate itself. They sealed powers, altered destinies, and justified every sin as necessary. In their desperation to prevent another war, they made choices that could not be undone.

In the heart of Central Asia, where empires rise and fall like the shifting sands, a warrior emerges who will shape history with his sword, his strategy, and his unwavering faith. Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni—a name that would echo across centuries as both a conqueror and a patron of culture—sets out on a relentless campaign to expand his empire, challenge the mightiest rulers, and carve his place among history’s greatest kings. Mahmud, the eldest son of Sabuktigin, inherits not just his father’s kingdom but also his unyielding ambition. Born into the rugged lands of Ghazni, he learns early that power is not given; it is seized through blood, battle, and sheer will. But with great power comes great enemies—both within his court and beyond the frontiers of his realm. The story of The Iron Falcon is one of war, betrayal, loyalty, and a vision greater than one man’s thirst for conquest. The Rise of a Conqueror From the moment Mahmud ascends the throne, he faces opposition from his own family. His brother, Ismail, backed by courtly conspirators, attempts to claim the crown, igniting a bitter power struggle. But Mahmud is no ordinary ruler—his mind is as sharp as his sword. Through clever alliances and ruthless military tactics, he secures his place as the unchallenged Sultan of the Ghaznavid Empire. Yet, this victory is merely the beginning. Determined to extend his dominion, Mahmud sets his eyes on the rich lands of India, where the Hindu Shahi kings rule with immense wealth and influence. His ambition is not just territorial; he believes he has a divine mission—to spread the glory of his empire, establish Islamic governance, and secure untold treasures to strengthen his rule. The Battles That Shaped an Empire With his most trusted general, Malik Ayaz, at his side, Mahmud launches a series of daring military campaigns. His army, a formidable force of cavalry, archers, and fearless warriors, storms the strongholds of Northern India, clashing with the legendary Raja Jayapala in the Battle of Peshawar (1001 AD). The fierce resistance of the Hindu Shahi kings tests Mahmud’s strength, but his brilliant tactics and relentless pursuit of victory prove overwhelming. Yet, conquest is never simple. As Mahmud advances deeper into the subcontinent, he encounters the resilience of Raja Anandapala, who unites rival kings in a desperate bid to repel the Ghaznavid forces. The ensuing battles are fierce, with betrayals, shifting alliances, and moments of brutal warfare that define the era. Through it all, Mahmud remains steadfast—an iron falcon soaring above the battlefield, always striking with precision and power. Betrayal, Glory, and the Clash of Civilizations While Mahmud’s sword carves empires, his mind thirsts for knowledge. Unlike mere warlords, he is a patron of scholars, poets, and architects. He invites the brilliant Al-Biruni, a polymath whose wisdom transcends borders, to document the vast lands and cultures Mahmud encounters. The Persian poet Firdawsi, author of the Shahnameh, also graces his court, though their relationship takes a dark turn when Mahmud, consumed by his ambitions, fails to appreciate the poet’s genius. But amidst the grandeur of conquest and culture, danger lurks within Mahmud’s own court. His trusted advisors whisper of betrayals, his allies waver, and the political games of viziers and rival warlords threaten to destabilize his empire. Even those closest to him—loyal generals and royal confidants—begin to question the weight of his relentless campaigns. One of the most defining moments of Mahmud’s reign comes with the legendary attack on Somnath (1025 AD). The opulent temple, known for its immense wealth and religious significance, becomes the ultimate prize. To some, Mahmud is a liberator; to others, he is a plunderer. The battle for Somnath becomes not just a military conquest but a clash of civilizations, where faith, power, and destiny collide. The Legacy of the Iron Falcon

Hallo, Greetings. Often times great minds like to speculate & argue on the philosophical question: What is Life about? Well, rather than entertaining this notion, I'm wholeheartedly much more interested in asking personally impactful questions. Is there an essence to us? What is the Essence of this guy? That girl? That phenomenon? When answering this question, we ultimately approach the existential Quantum Essence. Therefore.... some questions need to be asked; 1.What is Quantum Essence ? 2.What does Quantum Essence Embody ? 3.How to approach the Quantum Essence ?

Starting a forbidden relationship with the duke’s daughter was the most reckless thing Lucian had ever done in his life. Up until now, his only risks were hunting rare saplings from dangerous places. Now, he was breaking the nobles’ rules. And it backfired, horribly. Not once, not twice, not thrice but multiple times. He almost died once, lost a few friends, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning. "So dumb," the devil voice in his head whispered in disdain, "How more idiotic can you get?" "As far as idiocy goes deep," Lucian answered, accepting the new path of his life, "And it goes deep. And wide." Goal: get wealthy and powerful enough to afford more idiocy Current arsenal: blood, sweat, tears, and pure wits Start point: gardener End point: unknown TAGS: #romance-focused #twistedMC #YANDERE #NO-NTR #loyalMC #loyalFL #insaneFL #evilFL #forbidden-love #you-can't-f‎ix-her-FL #lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers #nobility #fantasy #pirates #secret-organization #territorymanagement #obsessive-love-interest #comedy #conspiracy #businessman #moneymaking #mystery #Adult #Mature

Year 1054. The Grand Prince is dead. Rus' is left without will - without the hand that held the sword. Torn between boyars, ambition, and foreign hands, the land craves power. But it receives no hero, no warlord - only a stranger in a prince’s skin. Alexander remembers a world that never existed here. He has seen empires fall. And he swore - not to repeat their mistakes. He has no army. No allegiance. Only knowledge. And will. Every boyar is a wolf. Every word - a blade. Every choice - a duel on the edge. He did not come to conquer. He came to hold. And to build not the Rus’ of the past, but a realm worthy of being the future. This is not a story of war. This is a story of power. And the price paid by the one who dares to take it.

I have been reborn in France, and luckily, I have the identity of the Crown Prince. The downside is that the current king is Louis XVI, and in two years, he will be guillotined. Since my father and the ministers can’t be trusted, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands and reorganize France myself. First, I’ll make some money, just enough to solve the financial crisis that has plagued the country for centuries. Then, I’ll strike hard at the nobles with ill intentions who seek to usurp power. After that, I’ll seize the vast lands held by the church, which sits idle. Industry, technology, agriculture, and commerce will thrive together. I will be the greatest Crown Prince France has ever seen! Thank you for the support, friends. If you want to read more chapters in advance, go to my Patreon.

"I believe that if you have a problem, we just need to solve it with firepower. If the problem isn't solved by then, it just means we weren't using enough firepower." In a world of swords and magic, Lucen Thornehart, the eldest son of the Iron Duke, was considered the shame of the noble knight bloodline. No talent, weak, and worthless. Until one day, when a fever awoke his previous life's memories and the knowledge of the class from an old game he used to play, Gun Mage. More than just guns, he creates weapons that have never been created in this life and the last. A sword that heats up, turns crimson, and could melt metal. A rune-engraved gun that mages use to amplify their spells. A giant sword that you would only once see in a video game, which makes an explosion every time it hits an enemy. A gun that is powered by mana and shoots out condensed amounts of mana. Airships, steam trains, and boats. Lucen Thornehart isn’t here to play fair. He’s here to redefine warfare, with overwhelming firepower.

The Old World ended when humanity drilled too deep into the planet. By breaking the planet seal, the Domains from another dimension began to emerge. The Deep that destroys cities with a tsunami, the Shining that alters the skies, the Nightmare where terrible creatures rush out from; the chaos that makes every possibility happen at once, and the Abyss that erases everything that gets too close. The Domains connected with the people of Celestia, turning the girls into Witches. They became existences that could reshaped the world at the cost of going insane. In their rampage, they destroy the world and then began making a new one. In desperation, the last researchers of Ark-9 committed their last sin. They stole a soul from another world and then forced it into a new body to create the Chief. The Chief was made to suppress the Witches, to restore the world, and to be a weapon. The Chief was placed in a long sleep under a flooded city. Until finally the dying researchers awoke him for the mission, they have been preparing. The salvation of Celestia. “Fuck off.” Was what Aether said to all of them. “You bastards thought you could tear me from my world, and make me your obedient weapon?” Aether then laughed. “Those Witches you guys hate. I will not hunt them, chain them, force them, or use them as tools for your schemes. But instead, I will love them.” The Ark-9 Researchers erupted in rage. But he continued laughing without a care as their rage was music to his ears. “This is my script now.” The prison that held him shattered as their screams faded into silence. And he stepped into the new world with a smirk. “And I plan to make sure. No Witch escape my love.”

Born with the ability to regress after death, Edward Vistro rose from obscurity to become the greatest Swordmaster the kingdom had ever known.

Armed with the accumulated skill, knowledge, and despair of a thousand lifetimes, this would be the last regression of the Legendary Swordmaster — Edward Vistro. -------------------//-------------------- #Regression #Territory Management

Born in secret to a palace slave and the king, Aurora has spent her life hidden in the palace shadows, treated as nothing more than a servant. Marked by white hair and piercing blue eyes, she is the living reminder of a scandal the royal family refuses to name, a shame they would rather erase than acknowledge. When a brutal war threatens the kingdom, Aurora becomes their easiest sacrifice. She is bartered away to the feared King Aldric of Velmora, a ruler whose very name leaves kingdoms trembling. “That girl is barely more than a servant,” the Queen snapped, then softened her voice with mock grace. “But this sacrifice would give her life meaning. And think of the villagers. Would we let them burn because of sentiment?” Bound in silk instead of chains, Aurora is sent to Velmora — not as a princess, but as an offering. A living shield. A forgotten daughter delivered to a man known for bloodshed. Will she survive? Will she last a day? What a cruel fate she has. But destiny has other plans. In the shadows of this new kingdom, secrets begin to unravel. Dark truths about who she truly is. Whispers of power in her blood. A mother who was far more than a slave. And a king who might destroy her… or awaken something far more dangerous within her. Caught between the family that abandoned her and a ruler who sees more than she understands, Aurora must choose what she will become: A sacrifice. A survivor. Or the storm that changes everything.

(New Chapter every Friday at 18:00 UTC) An employee of a large corporation has died and reincarnated in another world. Will he decipher the secrets of magic? Will he show incredible martial prowess? Will he conquer all lands and life? Not anytime soon. Because he is reincarnated as a cat. But in the world of Chronagen all beings are granted a bit of equality - a system that allows for growth. Growth that is nearly unlimited. Growth that is fair to all beings. Growth that rewards risk and ingenuity, allowing someone to surpass others. Will he become the king he sets out to be?

I died in misery. Bad luck, bad choices, bad end. Then I woke up in a world I know—where I'm Crown Prince, the villain destined to be destroyed by the Hero's rise. The script says I lose. That this bad luck follows me here too. I'm done trying to be what they expect. I'll change everything from within.

If i knew that ruling a universe would be this tiring, I would have preferred to retire in my original world…sigh… .

No other world? Then I will make it myself! Rather than a tale of heroes and villains, it's a story of a simple man who suddenly became a God. -------------- Schedule: 7 chapters/week or more.

On a ruined plain where heaven and hell have already met, the last Celestial of Creation kneels among the dead. Trin, once a being who shaped stars and souls, now wears only scarred leather and the weight of a universe collapsing into ash. Around him lie the fallen remnants of his six celestial companions, beings of immense power whose wings once darkened the sky with light. Their final stand against Lucifer, the charismatic and ruthless leader of a demonic host, has ended in blood and broken halos. Haunted by failure and bound by an ancient power that refuses to die, Trin must decide whether creation deserves another chance. As corrupted humans march under infernal banners and the memory of the slain celestials echoes in the silence, Trin’s grief becomes the catalyst for something new and unpredictable. This is the story of a god on his knees, a world on the brink, and the dangerous hope that can rise from the ashes of heaven itself.
