After being suddenly thrust into the brutal, unforgiving universe of Warhammer 40,000, the main character discovers he is far from ordinary. He can summon crackling lightning and roaring fire from thin air. His mind teems with impossible knowledge, blueprints of arcane technology and futuristic wonders no mortal should grasp. He can even twist reality itself, warping the very laws of physics to his will. At first, he believes these gifts must be the work of Tzeentch, a twisted blessing from the Changer of Ways... or something way scarier If you'd like to support me and read a bit ahead, feel free to check out my Patreon.

Strategic MC • Kingdom Building • Divine System • Ruthless Protagonist • Empire Growth The world of Theos Online was a battlefield of gods. Players built civilizations, shaped faith, and waged divine wars for supremacy. At the top stood Zephyr — Rank One. Untouchable. Calculating. Ruthless. He didn’t just win. He engineered inevitability. But in the real world, anonymity is fragile. When his identity is exposed, a coordinated smear campaign tears his life apart, stripping him of reputation, future, and finally — breath. Death was supposed to be the end. Instead, he awakens in another world. Different sky. Different history. Same Divine System. The rules that governed Theos Online now govern reality itself. While others pray to survive, Zephyr understands the code beneath the gods. He knows the exploits. The hidden mechanics. The logic no one else sees. He may not know this world’s past. But he knows exactly how to conquer its future. From a starving village to a rising divine empire, Zephyr will bend faith into machinery, turn belief into power, and reduce rival gods to footnotes in history. The game is gone. The system remains. And this time, there are no respawns.

In a world where failure means death, Osric awakens the Survival Growth System — a power that grants strength only through life-threatening trials. Born in the slums of Ashbrook, he was never meant to survive. Ruled by nobles who treat the poor as disposable, the barony offers no mercy to the weak. Every challenge must be faced head-on. Every mistake leaves scars. Power is earned through pain, blood, and persistence — or not at all. With no backing, no talent, and no safety net, Osric is forced to grow or be erased. From hunting monsters and accepting deadly contracts to challenging the very nobles who once discarded him, he begins his ascent from nothing. This is not a story of chosen heroes. This is the rise of a survivor who refuses to stay weak.

When a modern-day man dies saving a stranger from a runaway truck, he doesn’t find an afterlife—he finds a negotiation.

He arrives armed with four divine gifts: a body forged by a super-soldier serum, an absolute immunity to the poisons that haunt the shadows of the Red Keep, the scientific genius of a modern polymath, and a destiny tied to the fire of a dragon’s egg. please this book is not belong to me i sbelon R.R MARTIN.

After 600+ chapters, here’s what to expect. First of all, throughout this novel, I have learned and improved in my story-making ability. Sadly though, you could only see this improvement about several hundred chapters in, like in the upper 300s and early 400s. And this change comes before a story arc that is bad compared to my recent story arcs. You may feel inclined to stop before then. You may feel inclined to stop even before you reach a hundred chapters. You may think, “Oh, there’s no action, it’s boring, and everything is easy for our MC.” But if you persist, you will see the true vision I have for the novel. Kingdom building, action-packed, and enough slice-of-life to warm your hearts into overdrive. If you hear the words, DIVA, AUBILITIES, and METROPOLIS, then you are about to enter, what I think, is my best major story arcs I have written so far. The Metropolis Arc is peak. Here’s what to expect: — Action: Yes. There’s a new and exciting change in the latter chapters that allowed for a lot of action. — Kingdom Building: Absolutely. I’ll admit that in the earlier chaps, there’s a lot of need for improvement. But I think that I was able to remedy most of them in the recent chaps. — Slice-of-life: Yes, sir. If you loved the novel for its slice-of-life, then you can rest assured that it would continue on even in the most latest chapters. — Romance: This one, I’ll admit, needs a lot of improvement. But it’s because they are still kids in the novel so I still stray away from something truly romantic. However, romance in this novel could be attributed to the romance of family and of friendships for now. I hope that I was able to convince you to start reading my novel. If you read it before and want to start reading again, you can message me on Discord for questions regarding plot points, characters, or anything you forgot and I can remind you. ——————— Michael was suddenly reborn into a another world by a God because of an accidental death. To make up for this fact, the God gave him another life in a fantasy world of swords, magic, and monsters. Unfortunately, it turned out that the world he was reborn into was still stuck in the medieval times. It didn't have electricity, it didn't have proper plumbing, and it didn't have any technology that he was so used to back in his old world. But thanks to the God's blessing and an AI assistant called ChatJK1, he was given the power to MAKE his life comfortable. Slowly, Michael transforms this new world into a place even better than his previous one by taking ideas from the modern world and putting it in this world, with the added bonus of magic.

The Weave of Silence ​In the Layered Abyss, truth is a lethal infection. ​The multiverse is not a collection of worlds, but a decaying shroud of parallel shards drifting in The Silence—a cosmic rot that transforms memories into monsters and hope into madness. In this dying reality, power is not earned; it is stolen. To gain a Concept is to kill a god; to seek the truth is to lose your mind. ​Daxian does not want to save the world. He has already surgically removed his own empathy to ensure he survives the coming collapse. Along with Silas, a phantom who treads between dimensions, and Vane, a mad dog who thrives on the kinetic agony of battle, Daxian begins an ascent through the shards that will leave reality scarred. ​They are not heroes. They are not villains. They are the entropy that the universe feared. ​In a world where God is just another word for sin, the only way to end the suffering is to unweave existence itself. ​"The stars do not blink because they are watching. They are blinking because they are hungry."

“In a world where fate is decided at birth… he starts below even the lowest.” [The Forest Sprite Lys has submitted her will to you] [Would you like to tame it?] [Ding! Territory Expanded — 50m -> 100m] [EXP +25] [Summoned Beast “Nepoleon” has evolved: Initiate ⭐ -> Initiate ⭐⭐⭐] Marfin...once an experienced writer..has transmigrated into a world of magic, swords, and cultivation. A world where one’s birth rank as a cultivator has already decided their fate. A world divided by rigid grades and unforgiving hierarchies… where the weak are destined to be crushed beneath the strong. And as if fate wasn’t cruel enough.. He doesn’t awaken in power… but in the body of a dying boy. Thrown into the most dangerous forest of the continent, The Great Jura, with no food, no shelter, and death lurking behind every shadow, survival itself becomes his first battle. But like all twisted fates, he is not entirely without hope. A mysterious System binds itself to him..paired with a sarcastic AI that seems to have a mind of its own. Through it, he gains the ability to tame beasts, expand territory, and grow stronger in ways this world does not fully understand. What starts as a desperate struggle to survive… slowly turns into something far more dangerous. An empire built from nothing. Armed with his knowledge from a previous life and a growing legion of tamed creatures, Marfin begins to carve his place into a world that had already deemed his limits. But in a world where fate is decided at birth… Can someone truly rise beyond it? Or was he brought here for something far darker? A paradise for dreamers... Or a carefully crafted hell. *** What You’ll Find in This Story: # A cunning, slightly possessive, and darkly humorous main character. # Side characters with their own motives, agendas, and evolving lore. # A harsh, hierarchical world where strength defines everything. # Strategic growth, territory expansion, and beast taming. # A deeply layered power ranking system where each rank reshapes one’s very nature. # Humans and beasts follow parallel evolution paths. # At certain thresholds, Master and Beast evolve together—unlocking unique transformations and abilities. # Power is not linear… and neither is the cost of obtaining it. # Academy Arc begins after the first major power progression phase. --- Story Tone & Themes: No naïve hero — survival comes first. Not your typical “chosen one” story. Progression is earned and a little slow. Slow Romance progression

The drums of war thunder, and a new player has stepped onto the battlefield.

A veteran gamer was so infuriated by Nintendo's baffling decisions after watching the Switch 2's Nintendo Direct that he went on a long rant. Thinking about how every console company in history, after a massive success, always seems to botch the next generation, he proceeded to roast each one by name. He woke up from his tirade to find he had been reincarnated in 1985 as the son of Hayao Nakayama, the head of Sega. After trashing console companies, he was reborn into the very one that would later abandon the console market—and as its heir, no less! It just goes to show that what goes around comes around; he complained, and now he has to put his money where his mouth is. Let's see how he shakes up the industry during this golden age of gaming!

"This is a world-first story. The history is the story. Stay with it." The world has ended before. Not in myth. Not in metaphor. It ended completely — gods unmade reality reaching for something they were never meant to hold, and existence corrected itself the only way it knows how. It took fifty thousand years to forget. Another hundred thousand to rebuild. It is about to happen again. This is not one story. It is many — stitched together across millennia, told through the eyes of those who lived inside a world that carries its own wounds forward. A nameless being waking in a summoning circle, learning what it means to exist. A woman who hesitated when she should have fought, and traded a year of her life for knowledge that is quietly unmaking her. A girl in an apothecary being handed a promise she doesn't yet understand. They do not know each other. Not exactly. But the world remembers. It always remembers. Stay long enough and you will see how the threads connect — how every choice echoes, how every name given in love becomes a weight carried forward, how the pattern emerging beneath the history is not a mystery to be solved but a wound that never fully closed. Knowledge is the weapon. History is the scar. And somewhere in the silence between chapters — You will realize you already care.

"A high-octane R-18 adventure where political revolution meets intimate conquest, following Faen as he tears down the Chem-Barons' rule while exploring the limitless potential of his demonically enhanced body." "Discover a darker, sexier side of Runeterra where a transmigrator's curse becomes his greatest weapon, turning battle, pleasure, and governance into a singular path to absolute power." "Faen doesn't just want to save Zaun; he plans to reshape it through violence and delight, building a new order supported by the unwavering devotion of the world's strongest heroines." "With a unique power system that converts intense emotion into physical strength, this novel blends explosive action with explicit romance, offering a fresh, hedonistic take on the League of Legends universe."

PvZ meets Solo Farming In The Tower. What to expect: - Mature and logical MC who refuse to be devoured by vengeance - A garden full of war crimes - Character driven story over fast-pace progression - Lovable cast of characters - Lore. Lots of lore regarding the dungeons and the civilizations that had fallen within it for you lorebrarians. - Update daily at 6pm CET -------------- “In a gold rush, the position of shovel vendors is reserved for the privileged.” That was a lesson Phong Tran had to learn the hard way. One year after the dungeon appeared, it had become a modern gold rush. People awakened classes, unlocked skills, and dove into the dungeon for its seemingly endless riches and resources. Phong, a level 1 Farmer with a dead EXP bar, naturally gravitated toward becoming a wandering vendor. While other people fought monsters, gained EXP, and became media heroes, he sold them socks, battery banks, and energy drinks. Phong existed in the space between glory and obscurity, until one day, a privileged bastard took everything from him. He was beaten half to death, and his aunt and uncle were “erased” for being inconvenient to those at the top. As if it had a cruel sense of humor, Phong received his first and only quest while lying in his sickbed: “Plant 10 potatoes.” No rewards. No promise of revenge. Just 10 potatoes sitting there, as if to mock his powerlessness. He took the quest. And now, he must conquer the dungeon with only 10 potatoes to his name.
