"When the sky cracks open, only a few are foolish enough to run towards the chaos." Being transmigrated wasn't in Reis’ bucket list. Being so in a godforsaken world with danger lurking everywhere? Not even in his nightmare journal. Reis wasn't going to be a part of that group. Not in a million years. If he were to be the last hope of humanity, humanity was done for. That was a known fact. So how is he supposed to react when his soul is literally dragged out into a void and forced into a foreign body? Or when a blue screen of doom tried to convince him that everything was exactly how it was supposed to be? What about the creature calling himself his guardian despite not even knowing how to hold a human right side up? More than anything, why is he in line for the throne? Surely, he had run out of luck. But that didn't mean he was foolish enough to play hero. No. Reis just had to wait. Until the royal family let their guard down, and he had enough money to escape far away. But how is he supposed to escape from this so-called guardian again, at least before losing the last shred of dignity? Well, not anytime soon. *** Antihero, bitter MC X Villainous, transcend level ML.

Myles Morales wanted to build his Empire. Yet, he died after believing a woman could help him. However, fate has a plan for him. He reincarnated into a world, where he belongs. In the conquest to build his Empire, Myles is reincarnated to an imp, a lesser demon, a slave and just a miner. He desires nothing but to starve for power… . . . This is not the usual kingdom-building type progression story. The MC is reincarnated as an imp, a lesser demon, conquered a succubus and would find more slaves for him to follow him in his conquest to build the Empire. So, the very near progression would be rebellion and then conquering the Empire. There is also an academy plot that would occur. . . . Tags that need to be looked out for: No netorare, No Yuri, Possibly Harem, and R-18 scene. But, this is not harem or R-18 centered novel. . . . Lastly, don't forget to support this novel in WSA 2026 contest! It means a lot!

In 2025, Eshaan Vikram Shresth is an archaeology professor at the New Nalanda University - brilliant, overlooked, and quietly consumed by a love of civilizations that died before the world could appreciate them. When he follows a hidden alignment in the ruins of the original Nalanda into a subterranean sanctum, he stumbles upon a secret the world has kept for over two millennia. The Nine Unknown Men, the legendary society founded by Emperor Ashoka the Great after the Kalinga War, are real. They have kept their vigil across centuries, guarding nine books of knowledge so dangerous that no single era could be trusted with them. And one of those books - the Ninth, has been waiting. For him. The Quill of Sociogenesis, dark and iridescent and impossibly alive, does not ask Eshaan's permission. It chose him.

“Ruling is the duty of oversight, to oversee instead of create. To govern instead of live. It came with power and prestige, with obligation and responsibility. Soldiers fought and farmers farmed, but to be King is to rule. To maintain the illusion of power one’s forefathers had built. Marcus didn’t care for any of it. He saw magic when he first opened his eyes, and nothing else ever compared. But the King is old and he an only child. Decisions had to be made. Important, hard decisions. No one expected much of him. Not in regards to anything but magic. They were right not to. Until the cube. Until it taught him what life meant for people not born into nobility, and that all his skill with the arcane did not make him immortal. That running from problems did not, in fact, make them go away. Marcus Sepsimus Lannoy—Marcus to the friends he did not have—touched something he should not have on the day he planned to run from his problems.” Inspiration taken from The Menocht Loop, A Practical Guide to Evil and everything else I have ever read in my life. But mostly the first two, though not overly much from either. Concepts and the like. I hope to do them justice. Am I rambling? I feel like I’m rambling.

"They say history is written in ink, but I found it written in blood. I just made sure it wasn't mine." The night Aemond Targaryen saw memories not his own, he knew exactly what fate had in store: a stolen dragon, a midnight brawl, and a dagger that would take his eye. He was determined to change the script. He prepared, he calculated, and he reacted. But when the blade came down, fate demanded a toll. He kept his sight, but the price was paid by another. "You were supposed to lose an eye!" Lucerys screamed, blood weeping through his fingers where his own eye used to be. "And you were supposed to take it," Aemond replied cold and clear, looking down at his trembling nephew with full, binocular vision. "I suppose we both disappointed the Gods tonight." From that night on, the One-Eyed Prince never existed. In his place rose something far more dangerous: A Regent, a Kingslayer, the Queen’s Husband. He knows how the story ends, and he has no intention of drowning.

I didn't want to save the world. I just wanted a flush toilet. Taylor Oakhaven was a brilliant Civil Engineer in modern Tokyo—until she died and woke up in a fantasy world that smelled terrible. No plumbing. No soap. No concept of hygiene.

She has the blueprints for steam engines, gunpowder, and heated floors. But there’s a problem. Her "Construction Crew" is a disaster: The Guard : A swordsman so directionally challenged he gets lost in a walk-in closet. The Chef : A combat-kicking cook who gets nosebleeds every time she looks at Taylor. The Sister : A beautiful, terrifying Yandere who wants to "collect" Taylor like a doll. The Maid : A masochist who thinks cleaning is a spiritual punishment. And if her own team wasn't bad enough, a new enemy has arrived. **Viscount Valerius**, a Biomancer obsessed with "True Beauty," has declared war on Taylor’s "ugly" concrete inventions. He doesn't want to kill her—he wants to turn her into a decorative topiary bush. Can Taylor build an industrial revolution before she gets turned into a shrub? Or will the System roast her to death first?

Kade Torren has one goal: survive long enough to never be powerless again. Born during the Merger—the cataclysm that shattered reality and transformed the universe into the Game—Kade is a product of humanity's desperation. Raised in a government facility designed to forge Earth's best candidates, he's spent twenty years preparing for the Tutorial, the brutal proving ground where humans must compete against seventy-two other sentient species just to stay relevant. Humanity ranks forty-eighth out of seventy-three races. No natural magic. No enhanced strength. No evolutionary advantages. Just grit, tactics, and the slim hope that reaching level 50 will grant enough power to matter on the Main Continent, where territories are won and lost daily and extinction is always one war away. But Kade holds a secret even he doesn't know yet. During the Merger, as reality tore itself apart and reformed, his newborn soul absorbed the raw energy of that cosmic restructuring. The result: **The Paragon**—an SSS-rank talent so rare the system itself seems shocked by its existence. Everything Kade does is amplified tenfold. Experience gains. Stat growth. Skill comprehension. Learning speed. The boundaries that limit other candidates simply don't apply to him. It should be the ultimate advantage. It should guarantee his survival. But in a Tutorial designed to break the strong and kill the weak, overwhelming power draws overwhelming attention. Other candidates will see him as a threat to eliminate. The system itself will scale challenges to match his growth. And on the Main Continent beyond, where humanity desperately needs every edge it can get, Kade's talent could make him either Earth's greatest weapon—or its most dangerous liability. Pragmatic, skilled, and burdened with the knowledge that forces far beyond him could erase his existence on a whim, Kade doesn't want to be humanity's savior. He wants power enough to carve out peace in a world designed for endless war. But the Game has never cared what anyone wants. And neither has survival. ------ This is a Reader Interactive Novel, So do give suggestions in the comment Section and I'll implement suitable ones
