Ethan D Valor is the first son of Duke Arataka Falhar of the kingdom of Ekador. From birth, Arataka had only one purpose for him. Arataka was many things — a duke, a royal court strategist, an extreme genius — but above all, an evil bastard obsessed with strength, breakthrough and control. He believed the next step in human evolution was the integration of spirit beast genes into a human body, and his own son was his first test subject. The experiments started before Ethan was old enough to understand what his name was. Gene after gene, modification and mixes, injected and monitored and recorded. Arataka wanted a living weapon, not a son. Those experiments left permanent changes in Ethan's body, extreme pain and fatigue that never fully went away. Ethan's stepmother, the Duchess, saw what her husband was building and tried to stop it the only way she could. She couldn't take Ethan away from him, neither could she expose Arataka. So she helped the boy escape to the one place his father's hands couldn't reach him — the front lines of the Great Battle of Ekador, the ongoing war between the kingdom and the spirit beasts pouring out of the spirit realm. Ethan was just twelve years old. The Duchess's older brother, veteran commander Lord Ronan, took him in and trained him. For five years Ethan learned how to use his Aura, hand to hand combat, survival, and everything else that kept him alive. He was not an awakner yet. His soul core wasn't unlocked. What he had was his Aura, the training of a soldier, and whatever his father had put inside him. At seventeen, during an ambush deep in spirit beast territory, Lord Ronan took wounds that couldn't be treated in the field and died slowly over two days. Before he went, he pressed his spear into Ethan's hands. Typhoon — a high-class weapon built for lightning soul core awakners. In the hands of a non-awakner it didn't just fail to work. It attacked him, pushing the current through his own arms every time he used it. Yet he fought with it anyway. He took command of what was left of the battalion and drove the last horde to its end. Only four people survived that battle including Ethan. The Great Battle of Ekador ended. He was listed in the army's records as a soldier, never a hero. He had failed to protect again. Yet he stayed in the army — that was the only life he knew. Two years later, on New Year's Eve, a letter came from the Duchess asking him to enroll in the Dragonshire Academy of Excellence, the top institution on the continent of Devriah, full of awakners, nobles, and people who had never seen a real battlefield. He didn't want to go. He had no interest in academic rankings or awakner hierarchies. But the Duchess had pulled him out of his father's hands when he was twelve, and her brother had given him everything he knew before giving his own life to protect him. He owed her. And so he enrolled — for her. He is nineteen now. Carrying his dead master's teachings and his dead mother's name — D Valor, a name he took after refusing the title of duke, choosing the title of a commoner. There are things Ethan has not yet looked at directly. His mother's death. What his father actually completed before the Duchess intervened. What the genes inside him are still doing. And the feeling of something ancient. He is walking toward Dragonshire Academy with all of it still unanswered. The academy doesn't know what Ethan is bringing. Neither does Ethan.

What would you do if you woke up in the world of One Piece? Join the Marines? Yeah, right. Without powerful backing and connections, you’re just another pawn for the World Government; disposable in war, expendable in politics. I may be a total newbie when it comes to that kind of game, but I know enough to stay out of that mess. Become a pirate, then? Now that’s got potential. But Admirals are absolute monsters. And it’s not like I’m chasing the Pirate King title or looking to spark some grand revolution; I just want to live free, y’know? So here’s the game plan: Step one, become a pirate. Step two, get strong. Step three, earn a seat among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Simple? Not even close. But it's the best shot I’ve got. Soka soka… Wait, author-san... when exactly do I get isekai’d? ——————— PATREON LINK: https://www.patreon.com/AlexandrusTL 100+ advance chapter! ——————— SAUCE: https://wap.faloo.com/new_388768.html

In the era of the Old World, there walked women who did not merely cast magic. They were the weavers of Black Magic, or in more common terms — Witches. For thousands of years, the world has been barren of them, for a Witch is not born. She is wrought. The scholars of the Old World claimed three conditions unlock this power: First, there must be the Drowning of the Heart. The woman must be driven past the breaking point of human sorrow. Grief must become the water that drowns her humanity. Second, there must be the Sharpening of the Will. Hate must become the steel of her spine. She must choose not to weep, but to burn. Third, and most rare, there must be the Anchor of the Beast. A Witch without a tether is but a storm that consumes itself. She requires a Devotion that rivals her own — a Dragon who would trade his divinity to stand in the shadow of her thorns. When these three tides collide, the Mage dies, and the Witch awakens. It is said that when the Witch returns, the mountains will breathe again. The dead woods will scream, and the kingdoms of men will be reclaimed by a garden that never sleeps. — Warning: Dark Themes, Explicit Gore and Sexual Content — Tags: Dark Romance, Slow Burn, Fantasy, Morally Grey, Political Intrigue, Kingdom Building, War, Dragons, Monster Hunt, Magic System, Level Up, Power Growth

Arc One Complete. *** Everyone else capped at 20. Will Wick woke up with 30 Luck and an error message where his ceiling should be. That was the least strange part of his morning. The voice in his head—ancient, unimpressed, and absolutely certain Will is doing everything wrong—belongs to history's greatest conqueror. Genghis Khan has reviewed Will's memories, assessed his life choices, and has opinions. Loud ones. The main one being: the trillion-dollar corporation that harvested humanity's souls to power their own empire needs to be dismantled. Sector by sector. Server by server. Until the cage they built around this world belongs to someone else. Khan has done this before. Last time it was the Eurasian steppe. The principle, he insists, is exactly the same. Will already lost his family to the cold, corporate math of the old world. Now he's stranded 100,000 years in the future, on an Earth that healed itself while humanity was gone, facing billionaires who bought their way to power before the System even dropped. Genghis thinks this is fine. Genghis has a plan. Will is pretty sure the plan involves conquering everything. He's not wrong.

Archangel Lucifer is humanity's guardian, locked in an endless war against other archangels on the planet Eden. They subordinate races as their proxies: elves, dwarves, and humans all living as collateral in a senseless war to help perfect their father's newest creation. To make things worse, their father even placed dark forces known as the Fallen, led by the four devils. Detested as filthy for their lust, feared for their wisdom and adaptability, humanity became a prime target. The other Archangels broke their ancient pact and united against Lucifer. Isolated, he stood alone in an endless gauntlet of torment. He never abandoned humanity... but even divine beings have their limits. On the brink of death, with his people and beloved knights slaughtered. He abandoned the light and plunged himself into darkness for power. He sought such foul strength to smite his treacherous brothers and gain vengeance. Until a blade pierced him from behind. A single betrayal cut his revenge short. "How can it be you...?" In death, time flowed without limit. Lucifer floated endlessly, waiting, hoping for judgment or reunion with his beloved people. Yet in a twist of fate, a voice spoke out to him in the darkness, begging for help. "Please, help me, Lord." The voice mistakenly thought Lucifer was God. To take this chance, Lucifer would become a god, devil or Buddha for this small voice that called out to him. The boy's name was Luka. A human who just became Lord after his father perished. He was sick with an incurable disease and thus accepted an unfair deal. Lucifer would save his land, protect his people and live life to the fullest in Luka's place. And so, like a devil's pact, the deal was made. Lucifer was reborn inside Luka's once sickly body, only to find a familiar figure standing beside—the very woman who died for him in his previous life. Galatea, the first knight who swore her loyalty to him as an Archangel, now protected him. He'd been reborn in the past. Now, without the limits of an Archangel nor the constant fear of judgment from his father. Lucifer chose to embrace his newly found powers. "As a human, I am no longer bound to the rule of Father... I will live as you said, Lukas." His eyes lingered on the alluring figure of Galatea. "To the very limits, especially tasting those things I couldn't before." An Archangel who drowned in darkness, becoming a fallen angel to fight against his fate. Now, in the body of a human with that same profane power, he starts again in the ancient land of Babylon. A year before mankind's first loss, before God appointed the angels to protect their respective races. Everything would begin in seven days. "I am the light of the dawn, for those who fight against annihilation beside me, I promise you not eternal glory and honour but a life with no regrets!" _____ A passionate novel with a harem of knights, elves, hot monster girls and powerful, cosmic foes.

Reincarnating into a fantasy world is truly extraordinary, especially a fantasy world with a backdrop of Heroes and Demon Lords; it was a recipe for an exhilarating and incredible adventure. That’s what Damien is experiencing right now, reincarnating into the Tensuraverse. But the first thing that crossed his mind after reincarnating wasn’t whether he was part of the grand scheme of the battle between Hero and Demon Lord, but whether he had reincarnated as one of the weakest creatures in the entire world… a Slime? Fortunately, he didn’t suffer such an unfortunate fate. But as the saying goes, if you're so lucky for no reason, misfortune will be the price you pay. Although he didn’t reincarnate as a slime, he reincarnated as a Hybrid Majin-Human instead. To make matters worse, he was reincarnated in a region that adheres to the anti-monster doctrine of a certain Demon Lord’s church, a perfect recipe for discrimination and ostracism against him. But luckily, it seems the Voice of the World took pity on him for enduring such a fate and granted him [Planeswalker]. A Unique Skill that allows him to explore another worlds freely. Incredible, right? But that’s not all. In addition to this skill, he was given a skill that makes him stronger with every powerful familiar he possesses. No doubt about it, with these two skills, his future is bright… Servants, Pokémon, Majin, Beasts, and all the powerful fictional characters he once admired… it seems that building his own kingdom composed entirely of his familiars is the surefire path to becoming the strongest! -- [Tensura] [Pokémon] [Nasuverse] [Konosuba] [Highschool DxD] [Kumo desu ga Nani ka?] [Soul Land] [Dungeon Fighter Online] [No Game No Life] [Mondaiji-tachi]... and others.

I own the MC and nothing else not even pictures. Annabeth was bullied all through high school and neglected by her family, granted the World Copy System as she read fanfics with systems to know traveling to different worlds as she can return to hers with technology discoveries to stand at the top of the world. The Worlds are random of tv shows, movies, anime, video games, and manga as she automatically stands at the top of any world as she copies the best. MC is Futa and OP.

PvZ meets Solo Farming In The Tower. What to expect: - Mature and logical MC who refuse to be devoured by vengeance - A garden full of war crimes - Character driven story over fast-pace progression - Lovable cast of characters - Lore. Lots of lore regarding the dungeons and the civilizations that had fallen within it for you lorebrarians. - Update daily at 6pm CET -------------- “In a gold rush, the position of shovel vendors is reserved for the privileged.” That was a lesson Phong Tran had to learn the hard way. One year after the dungeon appeared, it had become a modern gold rush. People awakened classes, unlocked skills, and dove into the dungeon for its seemingly endless riches and resources. Phong, a level 1 Farmer with a dead EXP bar, naturally gravitated toward becoming a wandering vendor. While other people fought monsters, gained EXP, and became media heroes, he sold them socks, battery banks, and energy drinks. Phong existed in the space between glory and obscurity, until one day, a privileged bastard took everything from him. He was beaten half to death, and his aunt and uncle were “erased” for being inconvenient to those at the top. As if it had a cruel sense of humor, Phong received his first and only quest while lying in his sickbed: “Plant 10 potatoes.” No rewards. No promise of revenge. Just 10 potatoes sitting there, as if to mock his powerlessness. He took the quest. And now, he must conquer the dungeon with only 10 potatoes to his name.

Upon opening his eyes, Xu Ping becomes a spirit farmer in the cultivation world. By chance, he awakens the proficiency panel: From the Spirit Rain Skill that assists in the growth of spirit rice, to the earth-shattering Star Splitting Finger, everything is in his reach by constant practice. "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Xu's Spirit Rain Skill to break through silently, truly a sudden accomplishment!" Old Man Lu wore a fawning look on his face. "Luck, just luck," Xu Ping said modestly. "This isn't just luck. If breaking through the Spirit Rain Skill were based on luck, countless people would have done it. Fellow Daoist Xu relies on talent..."

Lin Wanwan slips a jade bracelet onto her wrist—and steps between two worlds. Side A: neon lights, 5G, instant ramen, MRI machines—an age of abundance where food is fast and friendships sometimes slow. Side B: Tang-dynasty sunshine, cracked earth, locust clouds, emperors who ask villagers to skip meals so soldiers can march. A “golden age” that growls with hunger. Lin has no grand plan—only a wish: let the little bean who waits for her at the gate eat his fill, let the gray-haired elders who calls her “treasure” sleep without fear of famine. Lin Wanwan wants to bring small changes to the world she loves, so the family she cherishes can live a little better, then a little better still—because "I has finally found the place that calls my home."

A world of magic. A "mage" born without it. And an outrageous f*cking crew. In the Valley Kingdom, where steampunk meets futurism and powerful magic means status, a Guild named the Black Wolves stand wildly apart. Their acting captain, Greed, carries neither magic nor nobility, only a title he never wanted and a forgotten past. Though he has no magic, he has another power that defies it—along with a crew as unhinged as they are loyal and who all have their own 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 off on missions or prolonged duties—each with their own unique quirks. 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.
