The world believes Raven Team died during a classified intelligence mission in the Middle East. The official report states the squad was wiped out after a failed extraction. But the truth is far darker. Tony Fox, callsign Raven, was betrayed by the very organization that sent him. His elite six-man squad was ambushed during a covert mission to retrieve sensitive intelligence that powerful figures wanted erased from existence. Hunted across nations by a global elimination task force, Tony becomes the most wanted ghost on Earth. His team dies buying him time. The world declares him a traitor. Cornered in the Indian Ocean, wounded and bleeding, Tony dives beneath the waves to escape a helicopter gunship. And then the impossible happens. His blood activates an ancient alien teleportation gate hidden in the depths of the ocean. Tony awakens inside Aegis Citadel — a colossal alien megastructure orbiting near Jupiter, the last relic of an extinct civilization known as the Aegis. An ancient AI named Sentinel recognizes something within Tony's blood… something not entirely human. The Citadel accepts him as its commander. Now armed with alien technology far beyond Earth's understanding, Tony builds a hidden force from the shadows. A force that will grow into a legend feared by governments and intelligence agencies alike. A phantom army. A hidden empire. A power that can strike anywhere on Earth without warning. From hunted fugitive… To commander of a secret interstellar citadel… Tony will forge the Phantom Legion. And one day, the men who betrayed him will learn a terrifying truth. The ghost they tried to kill… Has returned as a king without a crown.

When Earth is consumed by the falling star known as the Celestial Descent, humanity’s last survivors are not saved by science, armies, or kings, but by a mysterious divine phenomenon called the Celestial Gate. Thrown into Shanhai Tianyu, a living world of ancient mountains, spiritual beasts, forgotten gods, hidden ruins, and celestial laws, the remnants of mankind are given one final chance to rebuild civilization. But this new world is no empty paradise. Its forests watch. Its mountains breathe. Its rivers remember. And every oath, conquest, betrayal, and sacrifice is recorded by the Chronicle of Ten Thousand Eras. Among the first chosen settlers is Ji Yuan, a young man with no noble blood, no overwhelming martial talent, and no divine weapon. His inheritance is a broken jade seal, a starving group of refugees, and a forgotten patch of land called Qinghe. While other lords raise armies through fear and cultivators seek immortality through power, Ji Yuan discovers a different path: the Mandate of Humanity. His strength does not come from solitary cultivation, but from the people who choose to stand with him, the laws he builds, the dead he remembers, and the land that slowly begins to accept his name. To survive, Ji Yuan must turn mud into walls, refugees into citizens, markets into lifelines, and a dying settlement into a kingdom. But as Qinghe rises, so do its enemies: ruthless warlords, ancient sects, hungry merchants, awakened beasts, and celestial powers that believe humanity must be controlled before it repeats the sins that destroyed Earth. In a world where land can cultivate, history can judge, and the heavens may abandon tyrants, Ji Yuan must answer one impossible question: Can a broken people build a civilization worthy of the Mandate of Heaven?

Genghis Khan conquered the world with fire and blood. His name shattered kingdoms, erased borders, and terrified continents. His empire stretched farther than any before it. Yet after his death, that vast dominion didn't stand as one. Brothers turned against brothers. Sons against uncles. The greatest empire in history fractured, piece by piece, until only its legend remained. A modern soldier opens his eyes on the frozen steppe, surrounded by blood, steel, and screaming horses. He has been reborn as Batu Khan, grandson of Genghis, heir to the western armies of the Mongol Empire. And he knows what awaits him. He knows the Mongols will reach Europe, then retreat. He knows the empire will tear itself apart over succession. He knows history will squander this unmatched momentum. He refuses that future. With modern knowledge of warfare, logistics, and statecraft, Batu begins reshaping the western frontier. From tribal bloodshed to imperial ambition, from the steppes to the heart of Europe, he will carve a new destiny. Not as a loyal prince of a dying empire, but as the Great Khan of the West. ---------------------- 150 Power Stones = 1 Bonus chapter! 100 Golden Tickets = 3 Bonus Chapters!

“In an age where knowledge cuts deeper than knives, Victoria is about to learn far more than is safe for any soul to bear.” Victoria and Robert were torn from the gentle dullness of their ordinary century and cast into a realm governed by proto-concepts—those ancient, unblinking truths from which life, death, and divinity themselves are carved. Proclaimed “Heroes” by a world too desperate to question its own choices, they were commanded to rise in strength, confront a Demon Lord, and deliver salvation to a land that had never been theirs. Robert donned the mantle with the fervour of a man stepping into destiny. Victoria… hesitated. And in that hesitation, something old—older than scripture, older than light—turned its gaze toward her. She felt its attention like a draft through a locked room. In a moment poised between terror and terrible understanding, she accepted its offer: a contract sealed in silence, a year of her life exchanged for a thing that should never have been permitted to exist. Not in this world. Not in any. She did not yet grasp that, in straying from the Hero’s ordained path, she had not merely shifted her fate— she had begun to unwrite the very scaffolding of her humanity. Now Victoria walks like a phantom through a world that has marched on without her— one year behind the celebrated Hero, yet burdened with an insight so sharp it threatens to cut her free from mortality itself. She can now trespass upon knowledge forbidden to scholars, sorcerers, or even those who stand at the pinnacle of human mastery. She commits the kind of acts whispered only of beings who have stepped beyond the human threshold… and never returned. And in a world built on primordial, immovable truths, one truth endures: Knowledge is power. But power, when mishandled, becomes a curse that devours its bearer— quietly, inevitably, like rot beneath embroidered silk.

When a veteran Wall Street strategist is inexplicably cast back to 1985 Tokyo, she finds her new family on the brink of financial collapse.

He didn't choose this world…. neither did he want the dungeon. Dhruv was nobody's hero. He was a mercenary, a thief, a man who survived by following one rule only. Trust nobody. But then he trusted his team and got paid dearly for that. Shot through the heart by the people he called family, over a mysterious black cube, Dhruv died exactly the way people like him are supposed to… used up and discarded. Except he didn't stay dead. The strange black cube he'd stolen dragged him back from the edges of hell and threw him right into the NEW WORLD. A world bursting with magic, monsters, and the kind of secrets that get people killed. Now Dhruv isn't just surviving. He's the master of his own dungeon, with an army of monsters at his command and a debt to pay, he will remind everyone exactly why GREED was considered the worst sin.

Caspian Darkwood, a lieutenant stationed in the Middle East, is inexplicably transported to the world of ice and fire, abandoned in a desert near the Dothraki Sea without any idea how he got there or what his purpose is. He will have to overcome hardships and trials to survive in a world filled with betrayal, death, hunger, wars, and supernatural beings. His only weapons will be his limited knowledge of this world and the creative menu from Minecraft. ----------------------- ---------- For those who decide to dive into my story: the protagonist will not be invincible — that’s not how I envision him. However, he will have tools and methods that make his life easier, based mainly on Minecraft’s creative menu and his general knowledge of the world. He can be wounded or killed, as he is not immortal, and although his access to Minecraft’s creative mode is active, it does not grant him the full abilities that come with it: no building structures in mid-air, no teleportation, no immunity to damage — only flight. If you decide to read it, I would greatly appreciate your comments. They will help the story reach more people and, at the same time, motivate me to keep writing. --------------- This is a rewrite. And hopefully, it will improve on the original story and correct the mistakes I made.

He knelt down closer to me. "Master, please punish me to appease your anger." I scoff. "My anger? It wouldn't stop with just you. You know my methods. I'd kill your mother, your limping grandfather, your three aunts, their husbands, your younger sister, her newborn, her husband, his entire family in Ojun, your heavily pregnant wife and your twelve children." I grab his hair and pull his head up. "I'd let you continue working for me, the person that you saw completely kill all your living relatives and left you utterly alone. Every time you would try to rebuild, I'd personally pull it down. Anyone you got close to, I'd brutally kill. I'd make sure that everyone that died on your behalf would be a part of you, every day, for every meal." I smile. "Even then my anger wouldn't be appeased."

What if death were not the end… But the beginning of a transformation beyond imagination? After an absurd and preventable accident, a professor awakens to discover that he has lost his human body. He is no longer a man. He now exists as a sentient planet, condemned to drift through the void of space, bound by universal laws that not even a god can break. Isolated, unable to intervene directly, and unwilling to wait millennia for life to evolve on its own, he makes a forbidden decision. He creates the Genesis Records— a system designed to guide, strengthen, and accelerate the evolution of all life on his world. But power is never free. Fate, fortune, and deadly tribulations become the price of ascension. Every step forward demands sacrifice. Every mistake is paid for with death.

A world of magic. A "mage" born without it. And an outrageous f*cking crew. In the Valley Kingdom, where steampunk and futurism collide, powerful magic means status. A Guild named the Black Wolves stands wildly apart. Their acting captain, Greed, carries neither magic nor nobility, only a title he never wanted and a forgotten past. He, however, has another power that defies it—along with a crew as unhinged as they are loyal, all with insanely broken abilities: A Ghost-mage whose eyepatch hides more than it covers. A powerhouse who hits like a Behemoth and naps for sport. A vice captain more promising than most high-ranking mages, but only wants to spend the days cooking. A horned lunatic with a superiority complex and an obsession for her acting captain. A cyborg. A wolfdog the size of a lyconbear. And others not currently present. The Black Wolves only have a single goal: to live a life as meaningless and carefree as possible. But when a conspiracy threatens to swallow the Valley—and pins the crime on them—they become fugitives in the very Kingdom they called home. As they fight to clear their names and face an enemy that seeks to destroy everything—the Black Wolves, ironically, become the Valley’s last line of defense. And everyone's last hope. Expect: - Black Clover meets JJK meets Final Fantasy meets Vox Machina - NOT isekai, transmigration, evolution, system, or cultivation. Go look for that elsewhere - OP MC from the start with no magic [NOT ANTI-MAGIC], progressively gets even more OP - Harem relationships in the beginning, moderate fanservice, mild sex scenes (hate me), and strong romance subplot towards the end with only one girl - Classic slow-paced story with character development, backstories, perspectives from multiple characters, stats and ability descriptions, intricate plot, worldbuilding, and of course tons of fighting - A long, ongoing story Written and conjured by J.N.
