Fang Hong gets adopted by a kind old man when he was an infant but the old man dies when he was fifteen years old before he could embrace in the path of immortality. When the Immortals came to his village to check the talents of the mortals and take them to the Immortal sect, he couldn't get in due to his mixed spiritual roots.

Finding himself Reborn as a Saiyan drifting across space, Merun crash-lands into the martial country of the Sekigahara Confederate, a nation ruled by Martial Clans who care only for battle. Taken in by a struggling peasant family and later joining a declining clan, Merun quickly learns that in Sekigahara, the weak are trampled, and only strength determines who lives with dignity. Here, his Saiyan blood isn't enough.. He needs to learn Martial Arts. Using knowledge of his past life and using his growing status as an inhuman martial artist, he vows to change the system that keeps it citizens suffering for the sake of war. The main character won't mess with the canon timeline too much... but for the sake of his newfound family, will he? (MC has memories of his past life as well as the MU novel, most of DBZ. However his memories are hazy and he since he wasn’t a fighter, he would still need to learn the basics.) This is a fanfic of the awesome novel Martial Unity. The main character won't be super OP so easily, I'll try to retain the balance somewhat relative to Rui.

A Warhammer-forged protagonist crashes through one world after another, leaving a trail of baffled locals, broken power scales, and increasingly awkward misunderstandings. In most stories, technology advances through research and industry. In his story, it advances through archaeology—digging up lost relics, reverse-engineering ancient super-tech, and using “old empire” hardware to skip entire eras of development. NieR:Automata — 2B calmly informs him her “functions have been upgraded,” and that he should stop holding back. Highschool of the Dead — A kendo prodigy pledges absolute loyalty, ready to cut down anything that threatens him. Final Fantasy — Tifa: … R@W: 从战锤开启的超次元综漫

After her death, Lilith awakens in a world where fourteen billion players struggle for survival, power, and the right to continue existing. Over Ten million of them have become Demon Lords, each building their own race, their own territory, and their own army. Demonic Dragon Knights command vast legions, Vampires rise to build empires, and Lords of Catastrophe leave nothing but ruin in their wake. Yet Lilith enters this world as the Primordial Succubus Monarch - and quickly realizes she cannot walk the same path as the others. Instead of endless armies, she is given only three succubi, each unique in their own way, and the system permanently seals her ability to summon more. In a world where power is measured in numbers, such a gift feels more like a death sentence than a blessing. If she wants to conquer this world, she will have to take armies from other Demon Lords, grow stronger despite her limitations, and prove that a demon of desire is not meant only to seduce - but to fight. And above them all stand the Heroes… beings created for one purpose alone. To hunt and kill Demon Lords like her. And Lilith would soon realize… that neither Heroes nor Demon Lords were the true predators of this world. *** You can support me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/TorqQ

WARNING: This story isn’t for the faint of heart. The main character is shameless, crude, and unapologetically ruthless. If you want a clean-cut hero who plays by the rules, this isn’t your tale. But if you crave raw power, dark humor, divine legacies, and the rise of a shameless, ruthless legend — buckle up. Corven Umbrovante has been slowly biding his time, waiting for the proper moment to strike. Ever since learning that his father is Erebus, the Primordial God of Darkness and one of the most powerful beings in existence, Corven has been building his strength in secret. For despite being amongst the oldest and most terrifying beings in creation, Erebus is also amongst the most elusive. Few truly know of his existence, let alone his position within the divine hierarchy — especially mortals and the newer gods. But power attracts enemies. And Erebus has many. As the son of the Primordial of Darkness and the inheritor of a feared legacy tied to the a forgotten family who once ruled the Shadow Realm and its fallen powers, Corven quickly becomes a target in a brutal world ruled by divine cultivators, ancient Houses, monsters, and ruthless politics. In this world, strength defines worth, betrayal is currency, and weakness is an invitation to die. So Corven must grow stronger. Faster. Smarter. More ruthless. Because if he doesn’t, the enemies hunting him will bury him long before he ever reaches his full potential. His road is a bloody one, filled with war, betrayal, ancient enemies, and powers beyond mortal comprehension. Yet, with his yandere of a betrothed by his side, loyal friends at his back, and a primordial family that seems hellbent on gifting him absurdly overpowered abilities, Corven may actually stand a chance against the forces seeking his downfall... At least externally, anyway. Because the true enemy may lie within. See, power in this world comes at a cost. And Primordial Spawns are cursed notoriously worse than most. Born with limitless potential and favored by the universe itself, the stronger they become, the more their sanity begins to fracture beneath the weight of their own power. After all, the cost of power is madness and, as a Primordial Spawn, Corven has madness in spades. Suffice to say, if the enemies of Erebus don’t kill Corven before his ascension... His own insanity might just do the trick. He fights dirty. He talks back. Mercy? There is none left. This is not a story about heroes. This is the rise of a shadowborn monster the world tried to erase — and the legend that will force them to remember why darkness was the very first element in creation... And why it is feared. ------------------------------------ P.S: There will be no harem but there will more than one female lead.

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.

In the far away continent of kalinor, a place far too far to be recorded on any known map, the thousand years war between the kingdoms of Mercia and Fridonia came to an abrupt standstill when king Raymond draklyn of Mercia was poisoned to death.This has made the once powerful kingdom to crumble apart as every one of his seven children and countless other clever and ambitious lords, ladies and neighbors are now staking their claims to his empty throne through alliances, betrayals, assassinations and war. However unknown to the warring parties while they are focused on devouring each other, a great and powerful evil that is long forgotten by the people and relegated to myth has decided that the time is right to take advantage of the chaos and lay certain claims of its own. In order to prevent this and end the situation in general, the great goddess of order Diana is forced to play her trump card.... by summoning a select group of players from earth. Now it is entirely up to the clueless and inexperienced young men and women to curb the ambition of greedy powerful men, end a thousand years old war that shows no signs of relenting and battle the ferocious creatures from hell itself while trying not to die in a world where everything and everyone is actively trying to kill them. Good luck EXCREPT In a dim launch chamber lined with inactive VR pods, Rena Stormfort stands in a sleek black immersion suit with copper neural bands at her temples, while Adrian Stormfort, severe in his long gray coat and gloves, watches the Kalinor startup sigils flicker across a glass console. The room still hums with the promise of adventure, but Rena’s clenched jaw says that promise has already curdled into something far darker. Rena Stormfort: " You know I spent seventeen hundred dollars just to buy my way into this game which was supposed to give me peace of mind. How is it that I wake up trapped between rival gods, corpse-archers that kill from thirty miles away, and a thousand years old demon chewing through half of my soul?" Adrian Stormfort: "Stop talking like a customer who wants a refund and start thinking like a survivor, Rena." Rena Stormfort: " Survival? I bought a game, Adrian, not a death sentence." Adrian Stormfort: "Kalinor does not care what you bought; it only cares whether you are strong enough to endure what it is." Rena slams her palm against the console, making the map of Kalinor flare from the western hills to the northern mines. Adrian does not flinch; he steps closer and deactivates the emergency disconnect with a deliberate turn of a brass key. The console projects a fractured crown over the map as claimant banners ignite one by one, and the chamber’s light paints Rena’s face in war-colors while Adrian’s stern expression never softens beneath his silver-streaked hair. The truth settles between them: the dead king’s crisis was never just game lore, but a seal keeping older evils asleep. Rena Stormfort: "So the throne war is a distraction, and while humans, dwarves, elves, and dragons tear each other apart, something ancient is waiting for the kingdom to bleed open." Adrian Stormfort: "Not waiting—waking. Our souls were marked for a reason Rena. I believe Diana chose us to stand where she has failed." Rena Stormfort: "She could have told us that before we were drowning in this shit." Adrian face quickly stiffened Adrian Stormfort: "You wanted the truth; here it is—if you cannot master the gods, the demon, and the war, then Kalinor will bury you and call it justice. This world gives no quarter to weaklings my dear and if you cannot survive, then Die and get out of the way of those who can." Rena steadies her breathing, then reaches past Adrian and reactivates the world gate herself, her confident stare hardening into resolve. Adrian gives the smallest nod, accepting her choice as the portal opens and pulls them both back toward Kalinor.

“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.

Alex didn’t ask for a second life. But he’s definitely not complaining. In a world where women outnumber men, and loneliness is far more common than love, he finds himself surrounded by attention and affection he never had before. Warm smiles. Lingering touches. Quiet moments that slowly turn into something more. A slow life. A comfortable life. The kind of life Alex once dreamed of back on Earth. One where bonds grow naturally…and nothing is rushed. At least, that’s how it starts. Because beneath the soft moments and growing connections, something in this world feels… off. And the deeper he gets involved... The harder it becomes to walk away. After all… The goddess who brought him here didn’t do it out of kindness. She had a reason. And it’s not one she’s willing to tell him. ------------------->-

In the Post Futuristic Era, the world was an uneven mosaic of progress. Towering cities of chrome and glass were inhabited by humans and sentient machines working side by side, while only a few hundred kilometers away, villages still lived in wooden houses and tilled soil with iron tools like people centuries before.

Exiled for receiving the wrong Gift, Yuri is sent to a bankrupt territory and a political marriage no one envies. Born into a prestigious noble house, Yuri Leonidas was cast aside when the Star Rite granted him the Gift of “Merchant” instead of the magic his family desired. Branded a disappointment, he is pushed toward a ruined land drowning in debt and a marriage to Celine, a former royal consort exiled from the palace. But Yuri’s Gift is anything but useless. With trade, negotiation, and a sharp eye for value, he begins rebuilding the territory from the ground up—food, taxes, workshops, roads, and diplomacy. Every reform wins him allies, every success invites envy, and every step forward pulls him deeper into noble politics and international intrigue. As the land begins to thrive, so do the bonds around him. Loyal retainers, brilliant women, and former court beauties gather at his side, turning one disgraced noble’s fight for survival into a story of romance, ambition, and a growing harem. In this world, economics moves the story—and Yuri intends to change not only his fate, but the fate of his territory itself.

When the universe awakens after ages of silence, it senses the Abyss approaching—an ancient void filled with creatures that seek to consume all existence. To survive, the universe must choose a Guardian Race, a species worthy of wielding its power and defending reality itself. But no race is chosen. Instead, the Awakening sends out a call across the stars, summoning countless civilizations into the Guardian Trials—a vast series of challenges that test strength, spirit, intelligence, unity, and will. Every competing species believes it deserves the mantle; every one of them is prepared to fight for it. Humanity, still young and relatively unknown, finds itself thrown into a struggle far larger than anything it has faced before. Surrounded by advanced empires and rival contenders, humans must rise far beyond their limits, forge unexpected alliances, and prove their evolution has only just begun. All races stand equal. None have been chosen. And as the Abyss draws closer, the universe waits to see who will earn the right to defend creation.
