Scholar's Mate

“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.

Vinland Kingdom: Race Against Time

An ordinary young man lives his life day to day, without going through any unusual experiences. He hasn't achieved anything remarkable. He has a job like any other, has a couple of close friends, but being in a similar situation, they can't go out and enjoy themselves, and he hasn't had a girlfriend. However, his life suddenly changes. He falls ill. He doesn't know if his destiny was to spend the rest of his life in a hospital, or if he would be able to recover from this illness and return to his tortuous life. But karma changes his destiny and reincarnates him in a new world, or rather, an alternate Earth. In this new world, he must start from scratch, and not just rhetorically. He must lead the village hidden in the mountains where he was reborn through a complete transformation if he wants to survive the challenges he will face in the future. Not only must he face small local villages, but he must also grow up between two great empires, only to be able to face a power greater than those lands have ever seen. The Arrival of the Colonizers. . ---- . This is a novel where the protagonist is reborn in one of the pre-Hispanic peoples, in present-day Colombia, a few years before the arrival of the Conquistadors of America. He must grow his people from a much less developed one, compared to the European powers of the time, to a kingdom capable of defending its territory from the many encounters with ships from the Atlantic. The initial development will be quite rapid and will be based on the protagonist as the leader of a new kingdom, bringing basic technologies from the future. The protagonist will have a harem, which is part of the customs of this people. In case you want to look it up, the people are called "Muiscas." I suggest using the Spanish language on Wikipedia and then translating it into your language with the translator available on your device, as the information is much more complete in this language. Also, I would like to clarify, as a curious fact, that it is thanks to this people that the legend of "El Dorado" is known. . ---- .

By the way, my native language is not English, in case you haven't noticed, and I rely on several very sophisticated translation tools (Google).

The Disfigured Phoenix Returns

"You have a magic bow?" *Pfft* "Behold our brand new Magic-powered Nexus-993 Minigun. Before your single arrow reaches me, I will put 10000 bullets in your body." * "Oh, you have a dragon?" "Behold our fleet of Magic-powered Z-64 Raptors and Z-92 Lightning. Before your dragon breathes the flames, we will shoot it down to the ground." * "You have a 500ft Golem with powerful fists?" "Behold our Magic-powered Nexus Missile Defense Systems. Before your Golem takes another step, we will shoot it to pieces from 500 kilometers away." * "Your capital city has the most powerful defense barrier?" "Behold our newest 100 MegaTon Nuclear Bomb, The Armageddon." * "You want to hide deep in the sea?" "Behold our nuclear-powered Nexus Submarine. Even if you hide at 10 kilometers deep, you won't be able to escape." * "You locked down the entire capital to screen everyone and make sure not a single spy could be found?" "Unfortunately for you, we have our Reconnaissance Nexus Satellite, which could record every moment on earth with high definition from the space." * "You have hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight for you?" "Sorry, but they aren't a match for my army of robots, who could never betray me." * "So, you think you have a celestial being on your side?" "Sorry, fella, even your gods are made of matter. Behold our prototype Anti-matter Cannon, that annihilates everything in its path... even the celestial you are depending on." * In a world ruled by swords, magic, and noble power, Kiara opens a shop. To outsiders, it looks ordinary. Inside, however, she sells things this world should never have seen. Firearms. Ammunition. Weapons capable of changing the outcome of wars. But the woman running this shop is not truly from this world. After dying in the modern era as a weapon designer due to a betrayal from her comrades, her soul transmigrates into the abandoned daughter of an Emperor and Queen Consort. Cast aside since birth due to the lack of a spirit core, she grew up far from the palace that should have been her home. Now guided by a mysterious, sassy weapons system, she begins her journey as a weapons seller. What starts as simple transactions soon attracts powerful nobles, military factions, and secret organizations desperate to obtain the terrifying technology she controls. As her influence grows, men gather around her. An Android who develops romantic feelings for her. A nobleman with a gentle soul who becomes her love. A possessive mythical demon king who constantly tempts her through lust. A Commander who looks like her first love from the other world. A prince who wishes to give her the entire kingdom just to be with her. However, romance is the least of her interests. Accomplishing her goals is her priority. Anything else is secondary. She has but three primary goals. First, Revenge against her mother, who abandoned her as a baby. Second, Making Firearms the most used weapon And third, find a way back home and settle the score with her comrades and superiors who betrayed her. To accomplish these goals, she will put a fake smile on her face, she will help her enemies, she leads men into giving them false hope of romance, and she destroys everything in her path without a hint of mercy. This is the legend of Kiara, the Phoenix that was reborn from the ashes of revenge. **** Upload rate: minimum 21 chapters/week.
