kingdombuilding

At the Waters of Awakening, an elf is born with memories that don’t belong to this world. When the Valar arrive with their shining offer - salvation, eternal light, a paradise across the sea — he sees what others cannot. A price hidden beneath divine promises. Safety traded for freedom. So he does the unthinkable. He refuses. The Avari-the Unwilling, the Refusers, the ones history will forget — follow him into exile. What unfolds is not a tale of wandering wonder, but of building: walls raised against the coming darkness, weapons forged without divine guidance, a kingdom carved from nothing but will and determination. Because in Middle-earth, freedom is never free. And darkness always comes to collect. ━━━━━━━━ ⟡ AUTHOR’S NOTES ⟡ ━━━━━━━━ Lore-heavy beginning: The opening chapters introduce many Tolkien terms, names, and worldbuilding elements. If it feels dense at first, don’t worry - each chapter ends with a mini-glossary to help you navigate everything easily. Long-form chapters: The chapter count may look small early on, but every chapter is substantial (3,000+ words minimum, often much longer). AU & apologies to lore purists: This is an Alternate Universe kingdom-building story set in Tolkien’s Middle-earth. I apologize in advance to hardcore LOTR fans for any lore liberties or naming mistakes - I’m doing my best to honor the source material while exploring new possibilities. Constructive feedback is always welcome (kindly, please)! Give it a chance. The Avari are waiting!!!

Transmigrating into the ancient times, Fengye became a son-in-law. This world housed martial arts and literary spirit! How could he not want to pierce the heavens with a spear or change the mountains with a brush! It's just, now he has to convince his pretty and strong wife that he really didn't want to rebel, he just wanted to wave his brush and look cool in the spring breeze… Alas, the worries of someone who's married to a strong willed woman! (he couldn't hold back his smile as she was scolding him)

Alternative Tittle: The Second Male Lead’s POV (in an Otome World) 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: #twistedMC #manipulativeMC #YANDERExYANDERE #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

In the world of Aethelgard, mana is not free. Magic is a loan taken from the fabric of reality, and the Gods are the loan sharks. Every spell cast, every prayer answered, and every miracle performed creates "Karmic Debt." When a mortal, a king, or even a lesser deity fails to pay their "interest" (sacrifices, lifespan, luck), they go into Default. Enter Cyrus Vane. He isn’t a hero. He isn’t a villain. He is a Celestial Liquidator. After accidentally binding himself to the Book of Ruin–an ancient artifact that records the debts of the universe–Cyrus gains a terrifying ability: he can see exactly what everyone "owes." He doesn't fight you with fireballs; he fights you with your own overdue payments.

Valyria fell, but its dragons did not die. While the Targaryens sailed to Westeros, another family of dragonlords found their way into a world ruled by wands — the wizarding world of Harry Potter. There, Daemyr Lhaerys must choose: hide the fire of Valyria… or force the magical world to learn, the hard way, what it truly means to face real dragons.

What would you do if you were granted the power to turn back time every time you died? Louis Drakeheart once had everything. Born as the grandson of the Dragon King and the son of Earth’s most brilliant scientist and strongest Esper and a Holy Dragon Goddess, his future seemed boundless. Yet at the age of ten, he failed to awaken his Dragon Bloodline and could not transform into a dragon. Branded a cripple and a failure by his own Dragon Family, he was abandoned, his dreams shattered. Growing increasingly bitter and resentful, especially after his mother fell gravely ill and slipped into an eternal slumber that no one could cure, Louis transformed into a ruthless, cynical, and deeply unstable noble. Throughout the Frostbane Kingdom, he became infamous as the “Mad Prince.” In a final, desperate bid for power, he plunged into the Dimensional Labyrinth, only to be ambushed by an enemy nation. Powerless to change his fate, he was killed. But that was not the end for Louis Drakeheart. Upon death, he awakened the power of Death Loop, allowing him to return to the past after dying. At last, he possessed the ability to reshape his life, one death at a time. Now, through sheer will and unrelenting struggle, Louis will fight with everything he has to seize the strength needed to change his fate, reclaim his draconic birthright, and save his kingdom from its inevitable downfall at the hands of both Enemy Nations and Horrors beyond the Dimensional Boundary—even if it costs him his sanity as he descends deeper into the Spiral of Madness. This is the story of Louis Drakeheart and his journey through madness and enlightenment as he claims his true title: the Heir of Ruin, the Bringer of the End. And... of her, the one that accompanied him through countless regressions, the only witness of all his sacrifices. Also known as "Spiral of Madness: Ascension of the Villainous Dragon Prince". What to Expect: -A death loop where the main character returns to fixed points in time after each death, retaining all the power he has built up. -Deep world-building and a vibrant, living world that feels alive and immersive. -A unique power system: the Spiral of Madness/Incarnation inspired by Lord of the Mysteries Sequences and Metaphor Refantazio Archetype System. -Powerful, near impossible to defeat antagonists that will force the MC to accumulate strength across multiple lives to finally defeat them. -Strong focus on weapon techniques, cultivation, magic, and familiar bonding. -A romantic subplot that develops across multiple lives. -Dungeon crawling combined with fast-paced progression. -Countless mysteries, multiple worlds to explore, kingdom building (later down the line), and much more. -High stakes and emotional storytelling mixed with great side characters. Release schedule: 14+ chapters per week or more. Additional rewards: Magic Castle = +2 Chapters Spacecraft = +4 Chapters If you give me a gift for bonus chapters, please notify me with a comment!

Veldra , Author of Nothing and Everything. Cast into his own story. An imagined world made real by his presence alone. Who is he? What is he? Unknown, yet Known. One below all, yet the One above all. The first of the Three Novels. An existence classified as Extremely Dangerous. Blessed by none. Yet the Blesser of all. From him, all things originate. Heavenly favour descends only upon those deemed worthy by his will. Heavenly Blessings are deemed upon the Righteous giver. And if nothing in creation satisfies his desire, what, then, shall follow? A man of emotion and catastrophe. The living convergence of Balance, Order, and Chaos. A weak man who acts strong. A foolish man who acts wise. Venerable. Prominent. Reverent. Unclassifiable. Words fracture in front of the Great I AM. Meaning collapses beneath his shadow. He overshadows all. Creator of Nothing. Yet even he is but another novel of the First One. The youngest of all spiritualities. The Reverent of the Unknown. To witness his unfolding is peril itself- terrifying to mortal perception. Lesser races were granted form. And with form, retribution. And so, a single question remains: Shall we watch? Shall we listen? And if not, what shall we do, when a being who is man, deity, and existence itself can be imagined into reality by the All‑Venerable Author?

With his new Hanged Man Arcana Stone, anything is possible, including collecting a whole herd of Tames. Meet Endymion, Alice, Rook, Thea and many more in the world of Hanged Man Arcana. HMA is an ai-free slop novel.

"Honesty and politics don’t belong in the same sentence," they say. Celine Yue, a kind-hearted social worker, stepped into politics to help more people. But what she didn’t know… was that her own party would be the one to end her life. After her death, she wakes up in another world as Cyrina Vaeloria, the Elf Princess—right on the day of her arranged marriage to Lucian Aetherion, the cold, mysterious Human Prince and strongest mage alive. A political union to keep two powerful races from tearing each other apart. But this so-called alliance is just a mask. She despises the way other races are trampled beneath noble boots. Cyrina refuses to be a pretty puppet. She dreams of building a new kingdom—where races aren’t divided by power, bloodlines, or magic. To do that, she’ll need power of her own. And lucky her... she just married the most dangerous man in existence. With sharp wit and stubborn grace, Cyrina slowly bends her cold husband to her will— She toys with the ruthless Archmage, tames the untamable… and drags him into a revolution wrapped in royal silk. After all, if you marry the strongest mage alive… you might as well make him yours. ***** excerpt~ Lucian’s voice is like a blade, low and sharp. “Do you even understand what you said in the royal assembly?” Cyrina lifts her chin, unbothered. “I understand perfectly. I said I’ll build a new kingdom—where every race can live together.” His eyes darken. “You don’t know what you’ve sparked. That speech—” he steps closer, “—could ignite a war. You’re underground now, Cyrina. Buried beneath politics you don’t even see coming.” She spins on her heel and waves dismissively. “Ugh. Kaelen Blackthorn, your master is giving me a migraine. Get me out of this castle before I set it on fire.” Kaelen gives a slow, exaggerated bow. “As you wish, my lady.” He takes her hand like the perfect gentleman and leads her toward the door— But Lucian’s voice booms behind them. “Kaelen. Don’t forget who your master is.” Kaelen pauses. Glances back. “I remember, my lord. But as per your standing order… I obey only my lady’s command.” A smirk tugs at his mouth. “Even if it means going against you.”

Reborn as Rhaegar Targaryen, I awaken in an age where dragons are dead and crowns are fragile. The Iron Throne still stands but its power is already leaking away. The Iron Bank counts its debts, the lions sharpen their claws, and executions are planned before crimes are committed. No dragons. No blind prophecy. Only secrets buried beneath the Red Keep, Bloodraven’s legacy, and a prince who knows what’s coming. This time, I won’t be a tragic legend. I will win the game, before the board is even set. ~~---------------------- Re-upload, since the previous upload got banned Patreon Advance Chapters:  [email protected] / Dreamer20 

No system, no old mentor, no bulldozer, no stamp-collecting hobby, just a small clerk with no wealth, power, or influence. A modern man got transmigrated into a different era, the era of chaos. An era where a one small misstep is enough to lose your life. Fei Qian, a branch family member of Heluo Fei Clan. With his future knowledge, he need to survive the harsh environment, dodging treacherous plots, preparing his own schemes, and maybe... leave his name in the history.

In a world that only hears shouts, his silence is a weapon. Orphaned and mute, Mateo Álvarez communicates through the beautiful game. After a tragic accident steals his voice, it grants him something else: an extraordinary ability to see the flow of play before it happens, a gift he calls The System. On the pitch, he is a prodigy, a conductor of silent symphonies, reading the game with a genius that leaves scouts and legends in awe. His talent earns him a destiny at FC Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy. Under the wing of mentors like Pep Guardiola and Lionel Messi, Mateo flourishes, his dream of one day representing Spain on the world stage feeling closer than ever. He becomes their golden boy, a symbol of pure footballing intellect, and the heart of a new generation. But when the club’s soul is traded for corporate interests, Mateo’s greatest strength is recast as a liability. To the new board, a star who cannot speak is a star who cannot sell. Betrayed by the institution he called home, the boy who dreamed in goals is cast out at sixteen, his future shattered. Now, Mateo must journey beyond the only home he’s ever known. Armed only with his preternatural gift and a resilience forged in silence, he must find a new team willing to listen not to his voice, but to his vision. His quest is no longer just for club glory, but to prove a devastating truth to those who discarded him: that the most powerful language in football isn’t spoken at all. The Silent Symphony is an unforgettable underdog story about the corruption of dreams, the beauty of resilience, and the unspoken bonds that define us. It's a journey across the fierce landscapes of European football to reclaim a stolen destiny, one perfect pass at a time. **** DISCLAIMER: The contents of 'THE SILENT SYMPHONY' is entirely a work of fiction.

AD 11898... Humans were now creating precise artificial wormholes with ease. Their technological advancement had reached such a level that they had expanded civilization to various star systems. They would have even been able to complete their ambitious megastructure project... If not for that... The foolish action of one man started it all: "The Ultimate Doom of Humanity." The Mandala broke, and they appeared... THE ASURAS. Chaos ensued. Ancient clans and forsaken techniques resurfaced; beings once considered myths became everyone's living reality. Oh, and by the way, that technology humans were once so proud of, considering it their strongest asset? The fundamentals of it were shaken to the core. 'This was the premise of the novel I was reading. Although I thought it was a bit confusing, it was a fun read... until that bast*rd of an author decided to stop publishing new chapters abruptly.' 'But never in a million years would I have imagined that me! A casual reader!! One who didn't even lament or post a hate review!!! One prepared to casually move on with life without paying much mind to that st*pid work of fiction... would get reincarnated as the most hated character inside that SAME DAMN NOVEL!!!!!!!!' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi there, Let me clear few things- Does mc have a hero syndrome? or a villain syndrome? - neither...mc's just a crazy chill guy. Will the novel have any R18 Chapters? - depends if I am feeling horny on that particular day or not Romance - Ethan is a bit sexist, and a little bit degenerate too, but he will somehow make things work Will there be harem? - Idk man, it will be decided by Ethan, whether to pick just one, or all of them (although reader's preference might make some effect, so you gotta read if you wanna have your favourite girl, to get chosen) Politics? - yeah Is the novel predictable? - LOL, no WARS!!?? - not too much in the beginning, but towards the end .... it even makes my mind numb to just think about it (idk how I am gonna pull that off in words but, if you, even if one reader keeps on supporting this, then I will have more than enough motivation to take the novel to the end and deliver a proper finish) NTR? -WTF? NO!! The novel in short is called - A.M.D (pronounced each letter separately) Why name the novel after a CPU company? -It looked fun.
