[ CURRENT STATUS: 230,438 Words ] [ Status: Ongoing - Long Chapters (2500-4500 words each) ] --- There are thousands of worlds, each with its own stories and legends. Every storyteller has a different motive: some seek power and wealth, others love and revenge. Some strive for adventure and passion, while others fight for justice and peace. In one of these many worlds—a distorted version of Middle-earth—a young man’s journey begins. However, the peace of this day is a deception. Our hero was once an ordinary teenager who died protecting a friend in a gang fight. He wakes up to find himself in a Middle-earth that is vastly different from the tales he knew. In this realm, Elves, Humans, and Dwarves share the land with darker shadows: Vampires, Liches, Werewolves, Hydras, and Basilisks. The history of this world is not what was told in the books. While our hero sets out for the Shire to find Gandalf and Thorin, he acquires a Kingdom Building System, turning his survival mission into an epic quest to carve out his own destiny. --- ⚠️ WARNING FOR TOLKIEN PURISTS: This is a Radical Alternative Universe (AU).

When the universe awakens after ages of silence, it senses the Abyss approaching—an ancient void filled with creatures that seek to consume all existence. To survive, the universe must choose a Guardian Race, a species worthy of wielding its power and defending reality itself. But no race is chosen. Instead, the Awakening sends out a call across the stars, summoning countless civilizations into the Guardian Trials—a vast series of challenges that test strength, spirit, intelligence, unity, and will. Every competing species believes it deserves the mantle; every one of them is prepared to fight for it. Humanity, still young and relatively unknown, finds itself thrown into a struggle far larger than anything it has faced before. Surrounded by advanced empires and rival contenders, humans must rise far beyond their limits, forge unexpected alliances, and prove their evolution has only just begun. All races stand equal. None have been chosen. And as the Abyss draws closer, the universe waits to see who will earn the right to defend creation.

And why can I suddenly create things from thin air?" Will Xiaoyun survive the chaos with the new people he meets along the way? Will he use his newfound abilities to bring peace to a devastated world? Or perhaps he will just take another nap in the bed like a lazy pig—— "Shut up. How am I supposed to do anything when you keep throwing women at me?" ____________ Author's note: There is no NTR or Yuri unless you consider a threesome as Yuri, in which case I have nothing for you.

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.

He is the Supreme Heavenly Dao— the origin of all laws, the creator of every world, and the one who appointed countless Heavenly Daos to govern existence in his stead. Above him stands no heaven. Before him kneel all Daos. Except one. The Supreme Heavenly Empress—the only being he does not command, the only will he has ever chosen to follow. After ruling eternity and watching mortals love, age, and perish from beyond fate, the Supreme Heavenly Dao makes an impossible decision: to reincarnate into a mortal world with his Empress—not to escape power, but to experience love once more from the beginning. They descend with unsealed memories and undiminished power, concealing their supremacy as they live as ordinary mortals beneath the heavens they once created. Unknown to the appointed Heavenly Daos, their creator now walks among the very laws he forged. In a world where destiny is absolute, two mortals meet—already bound by a love older than time. As forgotten truths awaken, hidden Daos tremble, and their children are reborn across realms, the balance of existence begins to shift. For when the Dao itself chooses love over dominion, even heaven must learn to bow. This is a story of eternal devotion, family beyond divinity, and a supreme being who rules all creation— yet willingly kneels before one woman.

The world didn't end with a bang. It grew. On the day of the "Great Expansion," Earth’s surface area expanded by 1,000 times. Puddles became oceans, hills became unclimbable peaks, and cities were torn apart and scattered across a new, savage wilderness. Physics changed. Technology failed. And then, everything started to evolve. A house cat became a saber-toothed phantom. An ant became a tank-sized siege beast. Humans... humans were at the bottom of the food chain. Enter Ronan. In his past life, he was a warlord who conquered the "Red Waste," only to die because he hit his genetic limit. He was strong, but he had evolved wrong. He had chosen the "Berserker" path, a dead-end evolution that consumed his life force. Reborn 24 hours before the Expansion, Ronan has one goal: Perfection. This time, he won’t be a brute. He has the [Archive of Species], a mental library of every evolutionary recipe in history. While others are terrified of the giant spiders, Ronan is hunting them to extract their venom glands because he knows that mixing Spider Venom + Blue Lotus + Level 5 Core = Unlock Hidden Lineage: Shadow Weaver. He doesn't just want to survive. He wants to build a sanctuary in this massive new world and evolve into a god.

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.

[P.S No AI is used for this book!] In the year 2025, a sudden outbreak happened where humans are turning into monsters that would feast on another human. The word is zombie. They appeared in all major cities on the planet infecting millions by the day. Among them was Adrian, a college student who was about to go home after his class when suddenly zombies appeared out of nowhere. Of course like every human being who sensed danger, he ran and escaped. But minutes after he killed a zombie, an holographic interface appeared. [Modern Weapons Gacha activated!] [Would you like to try out your luck in a modern weapon gacha system?] Adrian tested it since there’s nothing to lose. [Congratulations! You have received an M4A1 and a 5x fully loaded magazine!] With that, he found out that he has a gacha where he could potentially receive handguns, shotguns, assault rifles, machine guns, bazooka!

When a devoted fan of A Song of Ice and Fire opened his eyes, he found himself standing in Westeros. Not as a king. Not as a lord. He became Suleiman, a nameless minor knight under the impoverished Daddings family, living by the muddy lower reaches of the Green Fork in the Riverlands. No gold. No soldiers. No influence. The family ruled over barely fifty peasants and held a status so low they were nothing more than silent figures in the corners of noble banquets. Before him stood the crushing weight of eight thousand years of aristocratic hierarchy. Yet in a land torn by war and shifting tides, this outsider from another world began his climb. From the mockery of “Sir Stinky Castle” on the edge of a swamp… to the throne of the Trident itself. In Westeros, even the smallest pawn can become a king.

There comes a point in every man's life when he contemplates whether the world was made for him. This was the thought consuming a man named Byung. There was nothing left to live for. He had flunked out of college while suffering from muscular dystrophy—a disability that limited everything he could do. He had the brains to think, but lacked the physical ability to carry out those thoughts, leaving him trapped within his mind. He didn't flunk out due to his lack of intellect, if anything, it was his incredibly high IQ that brought him here. He had to feed his mind things since his body was a husk that trapped it in. But at the end of the day, depression won because no one showed interest in him, so he never even got to lose his virginity. Jobs refused to hire him because of his physical limitations. He hated his parents for bringing him into this world, only to abandon him by dying in an accident shortly after. Who was going to take care of him now? There was nothing left to live for. Byung knew his life would be different if only he could live like everyone else. But that wasn't his fate. The universe had decided to play a cruel joke on him. What if there was no afterlife, though? "I'd be glad," Byung muttered with a defeated smile, seated in his wheelchair on the side of the road. The chair was barely holding together—the pull ring loose, threatening to break at any moment. "Goodbye, cruel world..." These were Byung's last words before rolling into oncoming traffic. The infamous Truck-kun, responsible for countless isekai deaths, came to his rescue, sweeping him off the road and ending his miserable life. ------ "Zit mi-grok," a voice exclaimed. This was certainly not a language Byung recognized. He assumed this was one of those moments when your life flashes before your eyes—perhaps some forgotten childhood memory. But when his eyes opened, everything changed. What came into view were green monsters. "What the bloody fuck is this!?" Byung exclaimed. His first thought: hell. But the gigantic breasts in front of him suggested otherwise. From the corner of his eye, he caught glimpses of his surroundings. These weren't average monsters. These were goblins! . .
