"Success is a shallow foundation built on luck and circumstance. Failure, accumulated and stacked like endless bodies in a mass grave, forges the deepest roots into unshakable power. I know all this about power with surety as all I had were countless failures. After all, I am Vakochev, and I set the very Scales of Existence. This... is my story. Existence, is my Story." --- In the brutal Lands of Stone, where mountains move and beasts devour civilizations whole, power is the only currency that matters. Damian Vakochev was once a prince to a glorious power, but he was stripped of that power, family, and everything he held dear as he was left with a shattered foundation. In an age where tribes war for scraps and Neolithic Empires crush all who oppose them, where ancient beasts roam territories older than memory and Mana flows through the Lands of Stone like blood through veins, where Warriors reinforced by Mana who could go against entire armies and Primal Beasts could devour entire mountains, Damian looks upon it all and asks...why? Who said things had to be the way they were? Who decided what power truly was? Why could he not stand over the tallest mountain and declare exactly what power was as he saw fit?! Why did he have to follow the set path of cultivation? Why were others born with Land and Sky Physiques while he was not? What prevented him setting up his own rules and his own paths?!

Zeus broke the rules. So Hades broke the board. Before the next Golden Cycle begins, before the God Kings vote to end or preserve existence, the Lord of the Underworld commits the ultimate taboo — he forges a successor outside of fate itself. From a Dark Sun infused with Death and Sky, two heirs are born: Tenebris — the Ending who came to the Beginning. CuelJuris — the Scribe who records the fall of gods. They are not bound by prophecy. They are not written into myth. They are Fateless. Raised among mortals. Forged in True Darkness. Cast onto Earth for ten thousand years of exile, Tenebris must survive divine wars, Gaia’s manipulation, Zeus’s paranoia, and the awakening of sealed memories that could drive even gods mad. The heavens believe this is another power struggle. They are wrong. This isn’t about ruling the cycle. It’s about ending it. And when the Lord of Stars awakens, the universe won’t continue. It will reset.

Diamond O’vera lived an ordinary life. Ordinary job. Ordinary routine. Ordinary death. She died quietly in her sleep. No pain. No warning. No meaning. Then she woke up. Not in heaven. But in the body of a blind child. — Reborn as Mordred Svyatopolovich Ainsworth. A fallen noble in 19th century Russia. A family destroyed by betrayal. A father drowning in pride. A household rotting in poverty beneath the streets of Saint Petersburg. No money. No power. No future. — Eight years later, at seventeen— The truth is clear. No one is coming to save them. — But Mordred is not helpless. Not normal. Not kind. — Armed with a sharp mind, a detached personality, and a terrifying ability to read people beyond sight, he begins to think. To plan. To rebuild. — From ruin to power. From slums to control. From nothing… to something far worse. — This is a dark, grounded story of survival, manipulation, and ambition in a world where weakness is punished and mercy is a luxury. — Will he save his family? Or use them as the foundation for something greater? — And when he rises— Will there be anything human left? ----------------------------------------- Author Note: This is a spin-off of my other story (I Became Beyonce’s Half Sister) and is a part of the I.C.T.M.H.E.T universe.

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. As new races awaken under these merciless rules, he watches from the shadows. He calculates. He plans. He waits. Because in this world, even gods are bound by the laws they create. And evolution… Always demands a price.

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.

"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how. But glory… glory is the answer. Glory will outlive flesh and bones. Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality." ~~~~ Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything—except the will to make use of it. "Why should I walk the same path as my ancestors? Why must I seek strength just to defeat one rival or compete with another? That is not what I was born for!" --- “…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

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?

Nicole Johnson. History teacher. Sharp. Disciplined. Unforgiving. She taught empires how they fell. She taught children how not to repeat them. She believed knowledge was power. She believed effort could change society. She was wrong. — A classroom. A lockdown. A knife. Her throat slit in front of the students she tried to save. Blood on her hands. Screams in her ears. A girl she pushed to “do better” smiling as she bled out. "This school will burn with me." And then— Silence. — February 20th, 1515. She opened her eyes again. Not as Nicole Johnson. But as Morgan Le Fay de’ Queen. Eldest daughter of the Grand Duchy of Queens. Pawn in a political marriage. A kingdom built on stone, fragile trade routes, and rotting alliances. Yorkania. An 16th-century North American throne wrapped in Arthurian bloodlines and colonial ambition. No magic. No divine system. No second chances. Only knowledge. Only politics. Only survival. — They want her married to a piggy king. They want her silent. They want her useful. But she has studied fallen dynasties. She knows what destroys empires. And this one is already cracking. — In her first life, she died powerless. In this one? She will build. She will manipulate. She will outlive them all. Even if the crown must drown in blood. ------------------------------------------ Author Note: This is a spin-off of my other story (I Became Beyonce’s Half Sister) and is apart of the I.C.T.M.H.E.T universe.

After transmigrating into the body of the **Fourth Kazekage, Rasa**, he quickly realizes just how dire Sunagakure’s situation truly is. Barren land. Scarce resources. Endless sandstorms… Crushed by **Iwagakure**, extorted by **Kirigakure**, and even bullied by a minor village like **Kusagakure**. “And Konoha… is the worst of them all. Too powerful. Too terrifying. The threat it poses to Sunagakure is overwhelming.” “For the sake of survival, I have no choice but to use the **Great Deceiver System**—to spread a few ‘rumors’ and keep them too busy to continue oppressing us.” “I’m not wrong. Everything I do… is to protect Sunagakure!” Rasa glanced at the list of rumors before him— * *What? Hiruzen Sarutobi stole the credit that rightfully belonged to Uchiha Kagami?* * *Shocking! Hatake Sakumo was driven to death because his achievements threatened the higher-ups?* * *Wait… there are still people who don’t know the truth behind Namikaze Minato’s death?* * *Utter disgrace! The Mizukage reduced to nothing more than a puppet spy of Konoha’s Uchiha?!* … As the rumors spread, Rasa gained massive amounts of points for draws. “Hundred-pull… start!” * **Congratulations!

A modern man. A reenactor who dreamed of knights, honor, and history. But when the Seven summon him, his dream turns into a nightmare. His new identity? Joffrey Baratheon — the most hated king in Westeros. His new reality? The very day the boy-king is fated to choke to death at his own wedding. --- This is a translation! Original author: “СкальдЪ”

[Congratulations, Terran survivor #99598, for activating the Universe Assistance System!] Althea, along with the remaining 1% of the population of their home planet, stared at the holographic screen in front of them in confusion. Their galaxy was apparently ending, and suddenly announcements from an alien system appeared in their heads, telling them they would be permanently transferred to another world. The survivors were all very depressed. First, they were forced to survive in a zombie apocalypse, and now they had to survive a new world altogether? It just so happened that Althea was one of the few people who got the Lord Token, the ticket to controlling a territory---a supposed safe haven for her people. Althea looked at her very large stomach and sighed at an unknown future. Would she be able to build a good home for her children? And... would she and her husband find each other again? #Apocalypse, #Josei, #Romance, #BeautifulFL, #HandsomeML, #PowerCouple, #Infrastructure, #MagicSpace, #KingdomBuilding, #Adventure, #Pregnancy, #Game Elements, #System #LitRPG ____ Now an E-BOOK~!

I have been reborn in France, and luckily, I have the identity of the Crown Prince. The downside is that the current king is Louis XVI, and in two years, he will be guillotined. Since my father and the ministers can’t be trusted, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands and reorganize France myself. First, I’ll make some money, just enough to solve the financial crisis that has plagued the country for centuries. Then, I’ll strike hard at the nobles with ill intentions who seek to usurp power. After that, I’ll seize the vast lands held by the church, which sits idle. Industry, technology, agriculture, and commerce will thrive together. I will be the greatest Crown Prince France has ever seen! Thank you for the support, friends. If you want to read more chapters in advance, go to my Patreon.

Welcome to my latest story, a crossover between the worlds of A Song of Ice and Fire and Elden Ring. The main character is Jon Snow, who, upon his death at the hands of his Night's Watch brothers, is thrown on a journey that will change the fate of two worlds. The story will be long and slow-paced, as I want to explore both Planetos and the Lands Between, especially the latter. I don't want to skip everything like most Elden Ring stories. I want you all, along with Jon, to experience it all anew, as we first set foot in the Lands Between as players. The entire system, including levelling, crafting, and summons, has been modified and adjusted by me. This is meant to be real life for Jon, not a game. All criticism and suggestions are welcome.

100,000 humans were chosen. Only a few will become Lords. The rest will become ash. When Earth is dragged into the Trial Grounds of Origin, survival is no longer enough. Territory must be seized. Armies must be built. Power must be taken… or stolen. Leo Mordark was never meant to be chosen. Reborn as a Primordial Vampire, he possesses something the system cannot understand… or control. [Primordial Sanguinary Archive] A forbidden talent that allows him to summon the dead of ancient wars—heroes, monsters, and forgotten rulers that once shook entire worlds. While others struggle to survive, Leo expands. While others fear the night… he owns it. But power has a scent. And as his territory grows, so does the attention of rival Lords, ancient races, and things buried long before humanity existed. Because in Origin… Even gods are hunted. And Leo? He’s becoming something far worse.

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.
