kingdombuilding

I've had this idea stuck in my head ever since I re-read "A Song of Ice and Fire" and watched the "Game of Thrones" TV show. I share the frustration many felt with the last few seasons, especially regarding the character development of specific individuals and families, while others seemed to receive an unrealistic amount of attention and advantages. Specifically, I'm referring to how the Lannisters received immense hate but also an unusual amount of fortune. They lasted much longer than they should have, particularly after Tywin's death. There should have been nothing keeping them together, especially not Cersei Lannister, who almost everyone in that world disliked, unless they were romantically involved with her, yet even then, many still held resentment. Conversely, the Starks were destroyed far too easily by individuals like Walder Frey and Roose Bolton, who were effectively Lannister puppets for no good reason. Considering that Robb had already defeated more than 30,000 Lannister men, And no one truly knew that the Vale wasn't going to help him just that they haven't yet especially since he had blood ties Robb had three Of the Seven Kingdoms and four considering that Theon the heir to the Iron Islands was his best friend and grew up with him until Baylon Greyjoy made a stupid decision that also made no sense There would be no way that Walder Frey the coward he is would take such a terrible chance and trust the Lannisters A house he really despised because of how they looked down on him literally goes against his character Also Roose Bolton who's supposed to be incredibly smart and devious also would not choose that time to attack considering How close his own house was to going extinct with only two of his line left one being himself and the other a crazy bastard He would not risk that. Additionally, I found it nonsensical that Balon Greyjoy attacked the North. There was a reason he didn't attack the North during his first rebellion against the Seven Kingdoms. It wasn't just because the North lacked a fleet, but also because they were impoverished, with no resources except timber and some furs. During his second attempt, there was still nothing to gain from attacking the North. I understand his character isn't meant to be particularly intelligent. Still, his lords likely wouldn't support another rebellion against the Seven Kingdoms, especially one that targeted another kingdom currently in Rebellion, especially when the Lannisters, with the most valuable land, had literally no army to defend their land, and the other most valuable area, the Reach, had its army marching out of its lands. Robb Stark was a charismatic and though inexperienced leader in diplomatic means, could have easily been helped if the Reach chose to marry Margaery to Rob Stark, the son of Eddard Stark, the most honorable man in Westeros, to defeat the evil Lannisters, thus letting Margaery be queen and have a good Honorable Wolf King. Anyway rant aside I'm making this story for myself and others who feel similarly I'm also trying to form a better habit of writing and reading because it's therapeutic and helps me understand others I hope you guys will give it a chance and enjoy.

The history books lie. They say the Great Founder of the Clan was a saint. A holy hero who sealed the darkness with mercy and grace. A man who brought light to the Era of Chaos. They are wrong. I know the truth... because I am the Founder. Awakening 500 years in the past, inhabiting my original body, I have returned to where the legend began. To survive this hellish era, I cannot be the saint history remembers. I must build an empire from blood and bone. I must forge a clan that will echo through eternity. I don't exorcise spirits. I don't pray to the gods. I slaughter them.

I died a virgin right after winning the lottery. Bad luck? That's my brand. So when a Grim Reaper offered me reincarnation with a gacha system for a "second chance," I should've known better than to trust my luck. I rolled... an orc. The only fat orc in my entire tribe. The dungeon's demon lord gave me three years to lose weight or die. I trained harder than anyone, became stronger than most warriors in my tribe, but my belly stayed huge. With hours left to live, I made the dumbest decision of both my lives: if I'm dying anyway, might as well lose my virginity first. [Virginity Lost! System activated!] [Obtain dungeon control upon complete subjugation] Turns out I was supposed to be a DUNGEON MASTER, not a slave warrior. And turns out I've committed the ultimate taboo: interspecies breeding, forbidden across all civilizations. Now I'm a fugitive. Humans, demons, and monsters alike want me dead. My own kind thinks I'm disgusting. I have absolutely nothing left to lose. Time to turn the worst gacha pull in history into the greatest dungeon the world has ever seen.

The Unmade God’s Requiem follows Haise, a boy who dies in a storm and awakens in a realm beyond mortality — Heaven, a celestial world built on Ryvane, the primordial energy that shapes every world, every soul, and every emotion across the cosmos. Reforged by the hidden force Etherus, Haise becomes the first being to awaken both Light and Shadow Soul-Born powers, along with the seed of a forbidden Cosmic Authority capable of rewriting the laws that govern existence itself. As he enters a Heaven ruled by God King and upheld by the Twelve Celestial Legions, Crown Relics, and the echoes of ancient fractures, his mere arrival disrupts the cosmic balance. Something older than gods is watching him. Something that remembers his death… and expects his rise. Haise’s rebirth is not a miracle — it is the opening note of a requiem that could reshape every world Ryvane touches.

On the ancient world of Aurethion, Morix Elydria’s youngest and fiercest Sword Master lives with a secret he cannot explain. A faceless girl appears in his dreams, calling out to him with a familiarity that feels older than his own memories. He doesn’t know who she is or if she’s real… but the dreams are too vivid, too warm, too heartbreakingly human to ignore. While the world sees Morix as a rising warrior, his true battles lie within. Between royal summons, growing threats, and the awakening of an old prophecy, Morix must face challenges that will test not just his strength but his identity, loyalty, and destiny. His journey is not just about finding the girl in his dreams. It is about confronting the calamity he is fated to become… and discovering whether fate binds him to salvation or destruction. A tale of destiny, growth, war, and two souls connected across lifetimes set on the vast world of Aurethion.

Vale Athrimir was born a prodigy, one of the rising stars expected to lead the next generation of the Clan and on the day of his manifestation he was awarded with the Mark Order that carried a potential never seen before in the Clan. He was hailed a genius until it was discovered that he carried the Forbidden Mark Order. A power that was feared and loathed. In an instant his world was turned upside down, his friends turned their backs on him and his father disowned him, calling him the shame of the Clan. He was thrown into the prison, starved and left to rot for three years before he was sent to the Borderlands in a cage. Left in the labor camp to dig rocks. His anger was the only thing that kept him sane, his anger and the ambition he held since he was a child, create a new Empire under the Eternal Skies! But the Forbidden Mark Order carried a terrible secret and with an Inheritance left behind by an Ancient person, Vale decided to take his fate in his own hands.

Okay so, uh, Arthur Grayfall basically wakes up in some random medieval bed and has no idea what’s going on. Like literally zero. One minute he dies (overwork, because of course), and next thing he knows, a kid is crying on him and a really pretty lady is calling him “my son,” which is honestly kinda awkward because he doesn’t even know her name at first. Then he finds out he’s suddenly a baron. Like, an actual baron. With a territory. A super messed-up one too. The farms are dying, the soldiers kinda suck (no offense but they really do), and the forest is just straight up full of monsters that don’t even wait politely before attacking. And all of this is happening while Arthur is still trying to remember how to stand up without wobbling like a newborn deer. The biggest problem though? He has no magic or sword skills or muscles or anything remotely useful for survival. Just… engineering knowledge from Earth and constant anxiety. But somehow, for some reason, the people here think he’s smart. Which he is, kind of, but also not enough for fighting giant wolves with knife-teeth. Anyway, he ends up accidentally saving the village using a trap plan he kinda made up while panicking. Then everyone starts thinking he’s some kind of tactical genius (he’s not, he was basically guessing). A boy named Leon, who’s like super talented with fighting and stuff, decides Arthur is his lord for life now, which Arthur 100% did not sign up for but oh well. And then it gets worse. Or better? Depends who you ask. Three ridiculously pretty girls show up in his life: a shy commoner girl who blushes at everything, a merchant’s daughter who definitely thinks he’s an idiot (but helps him anyway???), and an elf lady who looks at him like he’s a weird science project. Arthur just wants to fix the water system and avoid death, but they keep showing up and making his life harder and also more confusing. To make everything even more messed up, there’s some ancient ruin under his land, dead gods apparently aren’t that dead, a villain noble wants to steal his mom AND his territory (what a loser), and the empire’s political people suddenly notice him even though he literally just got here. So yeah. Arthur’s goal is simple: Survive. Not embarrass himself. And please, PLEASE stop monsters from attacking his territory because he honestly can’t handle another panic attack. But life, like usual, refuses to listen.

"I didn't write this book." "But you've read it, at least, right?" "I mean, I was about to..." "What?" "My brother kept telling me to, and you know how it is. The more he tells me to do it, the less I want to..." ... "I get a good skill, though?" "Yeah, definitely." *** If Alec had a choice in his transmigration, he would have chosen any novel but his brother's. Unfortunately, he didn't get a choice. He was yanked out of his peaceful everyday life and tossed into a brutal, dog-eat-dog world with nothing but an unreliable system to help him. Saving a world he knows nothing about won't come easy. He doesn't even know what he's supposed to save it from. All he knows is that he's dead if he doesn't, and he'll be damned if that happens when he can do something about it. No one knows his brother better than him after all.

"Ark" or "Arknights" is a next-generation MMORPG that once reached a peak of 80 million online users worldwide.

Now functioning with all the traits and systems of an NPC, Felix becomes a legendary figure among players. To them, he is: A mysterious merchant A dreamlike mentor An unattainable ideal for countless female players Within the world of Terra, Felix is more than just an NPC—he is seen as a spiritual guide, a false priest, a dreamer, a philosopher, a reformer, a philanthropist, a loner, a seeker, an explorer, and a pioneer. His motto: "Let the players enjoy the game—while I profit from every second they do." --- Quotes from notable figures in the game: Jesselton: “I could take two or three punches from Saria, but I wouldn’t dare take even one from Felix. Even if God ordered me to, I’d go to war with Him instead.” Arturia: “Felix’s presence makes me want to perform before him for three days and three nights, without rest.” Patriot: “Your ideals… they are reality.” MacArthur, a five-star American operator, once remarked: “All it takes is a single move from him, and he’ll dominate the entire Terra Daily hot search list. The moment I saw Felix on the battlefield, I knew—there was no turning back.”

Power decides fate— but what happens when fate makes the worst possible choice? Reincarnated war-nerd Zhan Ge, whose only real-life experience with conflict was driving military supply trucks in Ukraine “for research purposes,” suddenly opens his eyes in 1903… inside the body of Prince Oskar, the awkward, ignored fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. In the German Empire, he’s supposed to be noble. Disciplined. Patriotic. Elegant. Instead, he’s: – socially anxious, – addicted to military history, – speaking German like an Austrian action hero, and – climbing palace trees to hide from responsibility. Branded “the strange prince,” never taken seriously, Oskar becomes the forgotten Hohenzollern— the prince nobody needed. But Zhan Ge knows something no one else in 1903 could even imagine: Germany is racing toward a catastrophe. The world’s first global war. A disaster that will shatter empires, redraw continents, and erase millions. If he does nothing, the German Empire collapses. He loses his title, his home, his future, and—worst of all— his chance at a peaceful life with a wife, money, food, and absolutely zero trenches.
