Rust shouldn't exist. In the gleaming city of Argentas, magical constructs serve the wealthy as tools—until they break. Then they're dumped in the Ashfall Scrapyard and forgotten. But when a failed artificer experiment gains sentience among the refuse, it becomes something new: a trash golem made of rusted swords, broken wands, and discarded dreams. Every magical item Rust absorbs makes it stronger, smarter, more conscious. From thing to person, from scrap to warrior, from garbage to god. The scrapyard reveals its secrets—discarded memory crystals holding conspiracies, broken surveillance orbs witnessing crimes. The nobles aren't just throwing away trash. They're burying evidence. When Mira, a human scavenger girl, enters the dump searching for her lost brother, Rust discovers the truth: the wealthy dispose of witnesses like garbage. Together, they must expose the corruption and save hundreds of discarded souls. But that's just the beginning. Rust's journey spans five books, from surviving the scrapyard to commanding armies of resurrected warriors, from defeating cruel slavers to hunting fallen gods. It evolves from construct to humanoid AI with deep consciousness and burning emotions—rage, love, grief, hope. Along the way, Rust builds a harem of devoted mates across species: human, elf, beastfolk, divine beings. Each relationship teaches something about connection, passion, and what it means to truly live. The ultimate goal: create **Salvage Heaven**—an infinite dimensional kingdom where every discarded being finds home. Not revenge through destruction, but redemption through creation. Rust becomes the Eternal Rust Emperor, god-protector of all the unwanted across infinite universes. In Argentas, they judged Rust by what it was made of. Now Rust judges them by what they threw away.

Imagine waking up as the villain in your sister's cheesy fantasy novel. Yeah, not ideal, especially when that villain is destined for hatred, and a grim end in some forgotten dungeon. That's Astrid's new reality. Her old life? Gone. Her new mission? Survive. And step one means throwing the original script out the window. But changing fate is way harder than it sounds. In a desperate move, Astrid makes the story's heroine, Lyra, her personal maid. Clever, right? Except teaching Lyra magic and treating her like, well, a person, backfires spectacularly. Lyra's gratitude twists into something intense, dark, and possessive. And she's not the only one. Astrid tries mending fences with her powerful aunt, only to find herself smothered by a love that feels dangerously close to madness. Even her ambitious half-sister, originally her rival, gets weirdly attached after Astrid shows her a bit of warmth and helps her gain power using some modern-world smarts. Astrid thought she was being clever, building alliances, creating intelligence networks, rewriting roles. She is changing the story, but it's warping everyone around her. Their loyalty? It's becoming obsession. Their affection? A dangerous fixation. Now, Astrid isn't just fighting the plot. She's drowning in a mess of her own making – caught between people who crave her, tangled in lies and affections twisted way out of shape. Everyone wants her, and sharing isn't remotely on their agenda.

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.

Nobles and powerhouses travel the myriad planes, invading and plundering them to increase their personal strength, grow their military might and fund their endless wars.

Struggling to awaken his family’s bloodline talents and the warrior potential his family expects of him, Alex is sent off to a Mage Tower. His fate is clear: forge a path for himself... or lose everything. Blending the system engineering and web novel knowledge of his previous life with the Rune knowledge of his new world, Alex Fury creates a revolutionary new form of magic unique to him... RuneTech Magic. From runic artificial Intelligence to interplanar communication networks; From rune-powered super soldiers to rune-crafted power armours (and mechas), from new energy sources to perpetual energy. With this marriage of science, technology and the arcane, Alex will usher in advances previously thought unattainable in his new world, and his old one. This is a tale of power, rebellion, ambition- and legacy. Empires will rise to crush him. Worlds will try to deny him. But with intellect, invention- and just a spark of madness, he will carve his name into history. Witness the birth of the Rune-Tech Sage, and the beginning of a legend that will echo across worlds.

In a world possessing Extraordinary powers, can an individual truly achieve class mobility through personal valor? No, Extraordinary powers only serve to construct even more rigid class barriers. Here, nobles monopolize Extraordinary bloodlines through marriage alliances, and Priests monopolize the devout believers through Divine Arts.

To cope with the fierce competition between the various Cosmoses, the top-tier gods of the prime Cosmos to which Blue Star belongs, inspired from an unknown source, organized a Lord Competition that spans the entire Cosmos. With the spirituality of intelligent lifeforms as the core, supplemented by the power of a world, they are cast into the chaos outside the Cosmos. The power of chaos is transformed into a sanctuary, and the intelligent lifeforms become the masters of these small worlds, known as Lords. Then, using the connection between the intelligent lifeforms and the prime world as a guide, these newly created small worlds are drawn into the prime Cosmos. Then, through the competition, powerful Lords are selected. The eliminated Lords will have the connection to their territories severed and will be sent back to their original worlds. A portion of their territories will be given as rewards to the powerful Lords, while another portion is absorbed by the prime Cosmos, taken by the gods, or becomes a new planet in the Cosmos. The competition will continue until the participating Lords become gods, only then will they be able to leave the competition. An unknown amount of time has passed, and another competition is about to begin. Lin Yu, with his god-tier talent, drew a World Tree Seed from the novice benefits, creating a World Tree Territory and bringing new changes to this Cosmos.
