He died pushing a child out of the path of a speeding car. He woke up in the body of a sixteen-year-old boy inside the walls of Troy — seven years before the war that would burn it to the ground. Karim Elnashar was a history lecturer. He knew exactly how this story ended: his brother Hector dies. His brother Paris destroys everything. Troy burns. An entire civilization collapses. He knows the future. He knows the enemy. He knows every mistake that will be made. The question is whether one man — armed with nothing but 2,300 years of human knowledge — can rewrite the ending of the most famous war in history. And whether he even has the right to try. https://discord.gg/a8zZy3pEK

"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.

In the eleventh year, Bai Meiyue lost her child and died while taking revenge on those who took her son away.

With the heavens blessing her with a barter system, Bai Meiyue was intent on giving her child everything that he deserved. But why was the child’s father chasing after her? Hello? We only shared a bed for a night. So why was he clinging to her? Her child’s father: From the best medicine to education, you have given our child everything, Meiyue. But what about a father?

Adrian's wish for a life free from money problems gets granted in a wild twist: he's reincarnated into a rich and powerful family in a medieval fantasy world. Now going by Lorian, and heir to the Thorne family, he wakes up in a city-state loaded with wealth and opportunity, only to find his new life is full of danger.

In a world of magic and might, he'll prove that brains and bucks can be the ultimate power.

Adrian Cole was having a perfectly normal bad day. His job was draining, his rent was due, and the only thing he inherited from a distant relative was a cheap storage unit filled with junk. Or so he thought. Hidden inside was something impossible - an ancient stone archway that should not exist. When Adrian touches it, the door doesn't open. It fuses with him. Moments later, he finds himself standing in a vast and dangerous world called Eryndor, where monsters roam ancient forests and magic saturates the air itself. But Adrian didn't just arrive. Something inside him changed. A strange core now beats within his chest - a living structure that absorbs magic, adapts, and grows stronger with every battle. Fire spells become fuel. Monster attacks become power. Even the very mana of the world bends and reshapes itself inside him. The problem? Adrian isn't a hero. He's a sarcastic office worker who just wanted to pay rent. Now monsters hesitate when he walks by. Ancient forces begin to notice him. And the world may have just awakened something far older than magic itself. Something primordial. And unfortunately for everyone involved... it has a very dry sense of humor.

Recently, a special correspondent conducted an exclusive interview with Pei Qian, President of Tengda Group. Tengda Group, now valued at hundreds of billions, operates across various sectors such as gaming, internet services, digital hardware, cultural media, and restaurants, significantly impacting numerous aspects of daily life. Pei Qian himself is widely regarded as the "World’s Best Boss," an unparalleled investment genius, and a brilliant game developer. He is known for his effortless leadership style and keen ability to precisely forecast industry trends. However, during the interview, Pei Qian expressed deep frustration: “I’m truly not some kind of business genius!” “My success is entirely due to luck!” “My initial goal was merely to lose fifty thousand yuan…” See? This is exactly how a genuine business genius maintains humility and modesty.

In a world where unseen demons dwell within human hearts, quietly spreading corruption and discord, a boy named Elham struggles with a simple truth, he is nothing. He has no strength, no skill, no place in a society that values contribution above all. As whispers of darkness spread through his village, Elham awakens a power unlike any other. Elham is sixteen when he leaves the only village he has ever known, carrying a warmth in his chest he cannot explain, a staff that belonged to a man that was his father, and a commission from an archangel that lingers like a warning: you will fail, and you will stand again, go and find the seven. Traveling with Asher, a quiet swordsman whose strength feels heavier than it should, Elham enters a world where truth is never whole and something unseen moves beneath every decision.

After transmigrating to a parallel world, Chen Xu is delighted to discover that many of the legendary games from his previous life simply don't exist here. Just as he's ready to make a name for himself, he awakens the Emotion Collection System. The system allows him to grow stronger by collecting the emotions of players who experience his games—joy, sadness, excitement, fear, anger, and more. But there's one thing he just can't understand. Why is it so much easier to earn resentment than happiness? Staring at the mountain of points pouring in, Chen Xu is completely baffled. And so, his career as a game designer gradually takes a... rather questionable turn. In Undertale, countless players slam their desks in frustration: "Wait- the game was playing me?!" In Outlast, terrified players scream: "The locker moved! I'm done! I'm not playing anymore!" In Dark Souls, players begin their journey full of excitement... Only to end up yelling: "Get lost! Just leave! Take your First Flame and go! Leave the Fire Keeper behind—we don't want to link the fire anymore!" In Call of Duty, Soap, Roach, and Ghost fall in battle. In Final Fantasy VII, Zack dies, and Aerith is struck down. In Red Dead Redemption, Arthur and John are betrayed. Players around the world collectively lose their minds: "Damn you, Chen Xu! Can't you be nice to your protagonists for once?!" When a reporter asks him how he feels about the endless criticism from players, Chen Xu simply smiles. "Criticism? What criticism?" "This is the passionate encouragement of gamers around the world." "This is love." "Thank you, everyone. I'll continue working even harder!"

Now forced with the possibility of a new life despite his unwillingness… Elric must decide whether to become a puppet or forge a new destiny with his own hands.

In the Post Futuristic Era, the world was an uneven mosaic of progress. Towering cities of chrome and glass were inhabited by humans and sentient machines working side by side, while only a few hundred kilometers away, villages still lived in wooden houses and tilled soil with iron tools like people centuries before.

They thought they were logging into the ultimate sci-fi VRMMO. They had no idea they were the unwitting champions of a starving, newborn Chaos God. [Welcome to Epoch 40k: Mecha] The developers promised glorious mechas, interstellar colonization, and a grand sci-fi epic. Instead, players are dumped into a rotting nightmare where the tutorial involves dodging Ork raiding parties for scrap metal, and the local NPCs chant religious litanies just to repair a rusty tractor. Behind the curtain, however, a newly awakened Chaos God named Lucian Sanctus is desperately pulling the strings. Sitting at the absolute bottom of the Warp's food chain, Lucian needs to harvest emotional energy to survive. But feeding openly means drawing the ire of the established Chaos Gods—especially Slaanesh, as he knows she would love nothing more than to devour a fledgling deity before he can become a threat. His brilliant, desperate solution? Summon gamers from Earth. By disguising a grim, unforgiving reality as a virtual sandbox, Lucian can safely gorge himself on their gamer rage, triumph, and gacha-induced despair without the Emperor or the Chaos Gods noticing a thing. Armed with a total disregard for their own lives, a terrifying penchant for exploiting bugs, and a deeply questionable moral compass, these "players" have formed the Red Dawn guild. The galaxy might be a decaying cesspit, but they have sworn to fix it... or accidentally establish a brand-new galactic empire trying.
