But that all ended when he was betrayed by his own people and beheaded by his arch-rival. As Alexander's consciousness faded away all he could think of is all the faults he made, how he could have avoided them, how unlucky he had been, and his wrath and unwillingness to die at the hands of the man he hated most! But unexpectedly he was given not only the answers to these questions, but also a second chance to right all his many wrongs.

Robert Baratheon gave Jon Snow Dragonstone. One day, he may wish he hadn’t. For Ned Stark’s bastard, the island is a poisoned gift. An ancient castle, a thinly populated lordship, and responsibilities most grown men would struggle to shoulder. But Jon has already lived a grown man’s life. Behind the boy’s eyes are the memories of a naval veteran, an engineer, and a man who spent years studying the armies of Rome. Given a second life in Westeros, he sees possibilities in the land he has been granted. He also knows how much work it will take to make anything of them. That work begins in the North. Years before he leaves Winterfell, Jon starts gathering the people he will take south. Boys become the companions he grows up with and the soldiers he trains beside. Craftsmen struggle through unfamiliar designs while each successful venture pays for the next. Slowly, a household takes shape, built around a young lord whose knowledge is becoming increasingly difficult to explain. These are the people he intends to build Dragonstone with. He will need them, because arriving with a title and a head full of ideas will only get him so far. Beyond the island lies the Narrow Sea, the wealth of the Free Cities, and opportunities worth sailing for. Jon has plans for ships and harbours, for trade and an army of his own. As those plans grow, they will draw the interest of men who have spent their lives deciding what happens in Westeros. And beneath everything he builds is a secret that could bring them all to his door. His name is Aemon Targaryen. What to expect: ~ Jon Snow self-insert with an experienced adult mind ~ Slow-paced kingdom building, beginning with an extended childhood arc in the North ~ Household development, friendships, and earned loyalty ~ Industry, trade, and the practical work of running a lordship ~ Roman-inspired military training and warfare ~ Naval exploration and an expanding journey into Essos ~ Multiple points of view, political consequences, and growing magical elements

"Although I was reborn as the weakest of the five-colored dragons, and transmigrated into a little female dragon, and had a disastrous start, at least I am a top-tier race. It's better than being reborn as a maggot, right?" Jona Velli looked at the pure white dragon scales covered by blood and dust, and was forced to accept the fact that she had inexplicably transmigrated to this magical continent and become a little female dragon because of drinking. "Now that I've come to this strange world, how can I not make a big splash? Hehehehe..." ………… Seeing the awakened power of time, Jona Velli was so excited that she almost jumped up and started spinning like a Thomas the Tank Engine. Time acceleration? No, no, no, that's not a good description at all. It should be renamed "Weekend". Time has forgotten? No, no, it should be renamed [Breaking Promises], hehehe~

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 failure until the very end, his story should have ended with judgment and a quiet descent into the afterlife. But something interfered. Before his soul could be processed, his trial was intercepted by the Greater Kobold, the universal deity of the Kobold race, a fading god whose people stood on the brink of extinction. Instead of judgment, Dennis was given an offer. Not redemption. Not forgiveness. Power. He was offered a new life as the last God Agent of the Kobold race, a chosen savior tasked with leading a dying species back to prosperity. Dennis accepted. Reborn on the central continent of Athedal as Ka’z, a lowly kobold at the bottom of the food chain, he quickly discovers that survival alone is a miracle. Kobolds are hunted, enslaved, and exterminated by every major race, including orcs, elves, dwarves, demi-humans, and even humans. Their tribes are scattered, their numbers dwindling, and their name synonymous with weakness. Yet Ka’z carries the will of a god and the chance to become something greater than he ever was. This is the story of a loser who died forgotten and was reborn as the architect of the first prosperous Kobold Empire. In a brutal world ruled by magic, monsters, and ancient powers, Ka’z must unite a broken race, carve out territory in hostile lands, and transform cowardly survivors into a civilization capable of standing among giants. Can Ka’z truly become the savior of a dying race, or will he prove that even a god can make a mistake? ______ Discord: https://discord.gg/MkFeQnjuu2

I was reborn as Portgas D. Ace, the son of the Pirate King. In the original story, I was supposed to live in the shadow of my father’s 'sin,' join Whitebeard as a loyal son, and die with a hole in my chest at Marineford. To that, I say: Screw the plot! I didn't come to this world to be a tragic footnote. I was born with a soul mutation that grants me two Devil Fruits, a monstrous reserve of energy that never fades, and a Conqueror’s Haki that screams for the world to kneel. I’m not playing the 'Good Son' for Whitebeard, and I’m certainly not running from the Marines. I’m founding the Eclipse Pirates. I don't care about the Pirate King's throne—I'm going to be the only Sovereign this sea has ever seen. The era of 'The Son of Roger' is over. The era of the Eclipse has begun. [OP MC | Dual Devil Fruits | No Whitebeard | Ruthless Progression]
