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.

Imagine waking up as the villain in your sister's cheesy fantasy novel. Yeah, not ideal, especially when that villain is destined for hatred, and a grim end in some forgotten dungeon. That's Astrid's new reality. Her old life? Gone. Her new mission? Survive. And step one means throwing the original script out the window. But changing fate is way harder than it sounds. In a desperate move, Astrid makes the story's heroine, Lyra, her personal maid. Clever, right? Except teaching Lyra magic and treating her like, well, a person, backfires spectacularly. Lyra's gratitude twists into something intense, dark, and possessive. And she's not the only one. Astrid tries mending fences with her powerful aunt, only to find herself smothered by a love that feels dangerously close to madness. Even her ambitious half-sister, originally her rival, gets weirdly attached after Astrid shows her a bit of warmth and helps her gain power using some modern-world smarts. Astrid thought she was being clever, building alliances, creating intelligence networks, rewriting roles. She is changing the story, but it's warping everyone around her. Their loyalty? It's becoming obsession. Their affection? A dangerous fixation. Now, Astrid isn't just fighting the plot. She's drowning in a mess of her own making – caught between people who crave her, tangled in lies and affections twisted way out of shape. Everyone wants her, and sharing isn't remotely on their agenda.

"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?”

The emperor belongs to the empire. The general belongs to the battlefield. Neither of them belongs to himself. In a court where a single glance can become treason, Emperor Li Tianyu rules with restraint, surrounded by empress, consorts, and ministers who watch for weakness. His power is absolute—but carefully caged. Zhao Junjie, the empire’s youngest Supreme General, has survived war, betrayal, and bloodshed. His loyalty is unquestioned. His silence is dangerous. As rebellions rise and court factions sharpen their knives, the emperor and his general are drawn into a bond that cannot be spoken, named, or revealed. Their connection survives through late-night councils, unspoken glances, and decisions that quietly protect one another—at the cost of everything else. There is no confession. There is no promise. Only loyalty that refuses to break. Beneath the Dragon Banner is a slow-burn historical epic of power, restraint, and forbidden devotion—where love is not declared, but endured.

[Assessment Complete. Activating Mutagen, Please Standby….] A normal day is suddenly turned on its head when a single voice utters those fateful words into the minds of every single soul on the planet. It was after those words that every single man, woman and child was granted the opportunity to gain fantastical abilities in the name of evolution. Not even the plants or animals were spared by the words of this mysterious voice. Yet not everyone got what they hoped for. Some developed no powers at all, their bodies not yet ready for the process. Others, were simply too frail to handle it. Mutating into horrific creatures, nightmares made real. Seth Quinn, a slightly below average IT worker, developed a unique ability. The Puppeteers Threads. The ability to turn inanimate objects into his obedient puppets. Will he and those he loves survive in this hellish new world? Will his new ability lead him to a life of greatness he always dreamed of? Could he become a Master of Puppets? ----------------------------------------------------- A book about an apocalyptic world and the powers that have risen within. Following the unique blend of necromantic and Summoning abilities, with a twist that offers many more opportunities. Admittedly, it has a slightly slow start, especially in the first 5 chapters. It's something I regret now, but can't change. I can only try to improve, so I hope you stick through it and get to the good meat that starts around chapter 5 at least. General warning for graphic descriptions of death and injury. There will be bloodshed, not gonna be sunshine and rainbows. Other warnings for other issues, such as self harm or implications of sexual assault Will be provided at the start of the chapters, but even then they are just implied. Nothing explicit.

[Welcome to a New World, Innkeeper! Let’s build something cozy~] Masterchef Finn thought he was finally getting his restaurant when he was literally thrown into a world filled with beasts and magical creatures. And…he had to build an inn? Smack in the middle of nowhere? Er, no, not nowhere. In the middle of monster-infested areas! Fortunately, he had a massive shield to protect him and the inn.

SEVEN CIRCLES: The War of Broken Magic Magic did not destroy the world. Silence did. She was never meant to be remembered. Born into a world ruled by seven circles of power, she learned early that strength alone was never enough. Truth was buried. Names were erased. And those who questioned the order simply disappeared—quietly. When betrayal shattered what little place she had earned, she chose survival over obedience. Not through open rebellion, but through patience, deception, and control. In a world where magic is regulated by politics and power is hidden behind rituals, she became something far more dangerous than a hero. She became an irregularity. As kingdoms maneuver in shadows and alliances rot from within, she moves unseen—building influence, rewriting rules, and turning silence into a weapon. Every choice costs blood. Every victory leaves scars. And every secret brings her closer to a truth the Seven Circles would kill to protect. This is not a story of salvation. This is the rise of a woman who refuses to be erased—and the war that begins when silence is finally broken.

The first vampire, Cain, ruled over the continent of Rampiel, the land of blood, with an iron fist. For hundreds of years, he fought battles against the humans to rid them from his land, to which he succeeded. However, Cain's arrogance grew with his recent victory. He believed himself to be far more superior to the humans, which drove him to attack Seraphim, the continent of humans, with all his might. After decades of war, Cain eventually disappeared completely, which led to the army he brought with him to be completely eradicated from the face of the world. With a couple more years passing, humans finally took their chance to seize Rampiel for themselves, sending in mercenaries as meat shields, with the royal army following close in pursuit. Eventually, a group of mercenaries stumbled their way into restricted area, finding a crypt that would change the tides of war ever more.

The novel was clear. The villain deserved his death. A feared kingdom captured the heirs of rival nations, breaking their future rebellions by chaining their princes and princesses as slaves. Among them was the protagonist, Riven Solcaire....humiliated, beaten, and stripped of dignity by the villain crown prince, Maelis Ravencourt, while his destined bride, Seraphine Valoire, stood untouched by the cruelty of that fate. Love bloomed in blood. Revenge followed. But the story restarts when Maelis awakens years before the downfall, inside the young body of the villain himself. The slave prince, Riven Solcaire, kneels at his feet, brush trembling in small hands, eyes lowered-but hatred already burns beneath the surface. If Maelis follows the script, he will die. If he changes it, he may create something far worse than the novel's ending. Because saving the protagonist might not save himself. And mercy might be remembered... or resented.

They called him the Shame of the Clan but before that, Vale Athrimir was born a prodigy, one of the rising stars expected to lead the next generation of the Clan. But on the day of his manifestation, he was awarded the Forbidden Mark Order, a power feared and loathed throughout the realm. In an instant, his world collapsed, his friends turned their backs, his father disowned him, and he was cast into prison. After three years of starvation and torment, he was thrown into the Borderlands, a labor camp where the forsaken dig rocks until they die. But Vale refused to break. With nothing but his rage and ambition, he clawed his way free and began to build. Starting with outcasts and exiles, he forged the foundations of something the world had never seen, an empire that would span nations, topple kingdoms, and unite the fractured lands under the Eternal Skies. The Forbidden Mark Order carried a terrible secret, and with an Ancient's Inheritance in his grasp, Vale discovered he possessed power beyond measure. Now, he would transform from prisoner to emperor, from outcast to conqueror. From the ashes of betrayal, the Universal Empire would rise.

In a world in a distant universe similar to ours, dragons were the supreme rulers for millions of years. But one day, a supernova struck their planet, making it uninhabitable for hundreds of thousands of years and killing almost all life on its surface. When the catastrophe ended, the decimated dragons struggled to recover, while other races rose up and became the new rulers, hunting the surviving dragons and forcing them to retreat away from civilization. The dragons fell back into bestiality and violence, regressing further and further until they were little more than animals. Now, dragons are a species on the verge of extinction, and nothing would seem able to change their fate... or maybe not? Haku, one of the youngest member of a dying species that struggle to survive, refuses this. He decides it's not right to surrender to the rules of that difficult and terrible world into which he had the misfortune to be born, and he doesn't want his brothers and sisters to do it either. He believes that there must be something else, some other way to live without fear. So, let's follow the journey of Haku and his siblings, a journey that will take them across the world and beyond, against a fate that none of them is willing to accept.
