"If I can just stay under the radar, I might survive the final chapter." Kim Jowoon woke up in a novel world as the illegitimate fourth son of a marquis, Julian Von Astrea, and it looked like every single character hated him. It was a world where everyone looked like a protagonist—shining eyes, tragic backstories, destiny practically dripping off them. Everyone except him. He didn't even get a script. Then the Affection System popped up and crushed his hopes in one clean line of text: every so-called “hero” in the capital had a solid 0% interest in his continued existence. Naturally, Julian did the most reasonable thing possible—he ran. Straight into the safest job he could think of: tutoring the young son of the Empire's most reclusive (and famously cold) Duke. The plan was foolproof. Win over the kid, stay invisible, collect a fat paycheck, and live long enough to die of old age instead of plot relevance. It didn't go smoothly at first. The child never spoke, the Duke barely appeared, and Julian briefly wondered if he'd chosen the wrong kind of death. But somehow… it worked. The Duke's son quickly warmed up to him. Lessons became warm and fun moments, and silence turned into trust. And even stranger, the Duke's affection level didn't just rise—it skyrocketed into something Julian absolutely had not planned for. For the first time since transmigrating, he felt safe. Then the Emperor began to interfere, so much that he became a madman to Julian. Julian thought he could live quietly. Well... He thought wrong. In this world, his life was never meant to be quiet and everything revolves around him.

In the primordial world, ten thousand races fight for hegemony, but humans are mere ants; fodder for god race who harvest faith, immortal race who drain blood, and monsters who farm humanity like livestock. In this universe, morality and mercy are myths; only the law of the jungle remains: the strong devour the weak. Aris Seldon, a ruthless self-taught hacker from Earth, died in a blaze of greed while chasing the ultimate prize: a Biochip capable of rewriting human destiny. His victory was pyrrhic—his final actions shattered humanity’s fragile future on Earth. But death was not the end. Reborn as a primitive villager with the Biochip fused to his soul, Aris becomes a cosmic anomaly through it. He possesses no divine bloodlines and no heavenly blessings. He has only the chip’s cold, calculating analysis and a relentless drive to reach the pinnacle. He scans his enemy, stores their mysteries, analyzes their power and bodies, and optimizes his nascent path to the peak through them. From a backwater village, he will forge the fourth path to the peak for himself and race. He will build alliances, exploit weaknesses, and turn prey into predators. The "blessed" races will learn to fear the ants they once trampled—because, with the Biochip, even the gods can be analyzed, deconstructed, and optimized out of existence. Follow Aris Seldon’s journey to uplift a doomed race in a kill-or-be-killed primordial world

In the Higher Realms, Samael was an absolute law. As the Sovereign of the Primordial Void, his existence kept the cosmos in balance—until his own generals betrayed him, casting his soul into the abyss of reincarnation. Thousands of years later, he awakens in the mortal shell of the young Patriarch of the fallen Morningstar Clan. But there is no time to adjust. On the very night of his awakening, rival families and the arrogant Valois of the North descend to massacre his bloodline down to the roots. With his Aunt impaled, his snow-haired twin sisters crippled, and his fiancée Seraphina amidst the ruins, Samael’s ancient soul snaps. [Primordial Patriarch System: Initiated] [Awakened Affinities: Blood (Beginner) / Void (Lowest Stage)] They thought they were trampling a helpless cub. They didn't know they just woke up a dragon whose hunger could swallow the heavens. Armed with the absolute right of Blood and the Void, Samael will tear through his enemies, rewrite the tragic red destiny of his sisters, and uncover the supreme ancient lineage of his future Empress. The heavens turned their back on him once. Now, he shall devour them.

At his father's death, Fengyu awakened his past life's memories.

« MATURE CONTENT » I was supposed to check my stats. Instead, I checked my sins. One scroll through the system notifications and I realized I’d made the dumbest, hottest, most catastrophic mistake in cultivation history: [Heir Conception Confirmed: All three blessed wives have been Impregnanted.] [Gestation: 3 months. Offspring inherit 50% divine bloodline + maternal elemental affinities.] [Legacy Skill Unlocked: Imperial Seed – Children born at Core Formation minimum. Twins/Triplets chance +70%.] Translation? I bred the maid who poisoned me, the archer who swore she’d never kneel, and the ice queen who hadn’t even been kissed… in one night. Now they’re all carrying little demigods—and Heaven just flagged me as Calamity Incarnate. I wanted a quiet moment to breathe. Heaven handed me a countdown. 3… 2… 1… The sky split like a bad promise. Tribulation clouds boiled over the horizon, rings within rings, and every ring had my name carved into it. Lightning didn’t just flash—it wrote scripture across the firmament, every stroke a sentence: Zhao Tianlong, Calamity Incarnate. And behind me, three heartbeats answered in perfect sync. "Husband, stand back; you should save your energy to fight us in bed..." I glanced at the notifications again, just to suffer. [Heaven’s Will: Surveillance Active. Concealment: Impossible.] [Designation: Catastrophe-Grade Variable. Tribulation: Immediate.] [Bonus Condition Detected: Three Heroines Pregnant. Difficulty Multiplier: x10.] [Note: Heaven disapproves of speedrunning destiny via breeding.] "H-husband, why is the sky thundering..." "The clouds seem to be darkening with concentrated Qi." "It's like it is spreading across the land to take you on, Tianlong." I almost laughed. Almost. My naive wives, they can’t see how the clouds look beautiful, like a beautiful woman. "Hah… I make fountains out of heavenly beauties with my thing," I spat, a chuckle forming while getting disgusted, cute, lovely glares from my heavenly wives. "So if even Heaven itself dares to spread her legs at me, all she’ll do is scream louder," I said, lifting my middle finger towards the sky with a grin that almost ruined my hot husband image in front of my wives. "Tch, perverted bastard... I will just fight." "Ahem, yes, standing beside him might corrupt me." "H-husband... I-I will go fight too... you are embarrassing me..." They stepped beside me—left, right, and one half a pace ahead. Unaware that their sway of hips and jiggles of melons were too distracting. "...." I could only look at three of my beauties, thinking how they are different than last night, but again it appears I might have to corrupt them more. "So, shall we begin the journey of Dual Cultivation?" No NTR, No Yuri

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.

[Ding! You have extracted the Dragon Empress’s unborn child. Do you wish to claim it as a pet?] [Ding! You have extracted all the impurities from the Starlight Sword. Its rank has been upgraded from Epic to Legendary!] [Ding! You have extracted the skill: Lightning Judgment Lv100.] [Ding! You have extracted the unique Class Blood warlock!] … After dying at the hands of the God of Destruction, Gabriel found himself in the body of an insignificant character in the game Realm of Ascendancy, before its launch and convergence with reality. Witnessing the world being obliterated before his eyes, along with his friends and family, Gabriel swore to make a difference in this timeline. Armed with the God-tier Extraction Talent, follow him as he uses his knowledge of the game’s future to manipulate both NPCs and players, turning them into powerful lackeys who will lay down their lives for him without hesitation. And all he needed to do was fulfill the unique condition set by the mysterious goddess who granted him a second chance. “The skills of those you kill? Yours.” “Their strength, their talent, their souls? Yours.” “Their loot? Yours.” “Their class? Yours!” “The resources of the universe? Yours!” “Their experience points? Yours!” “You will devour the power of the strong and rise beyond the heavens.” “Kill, KILL, KILL, KILL! Kill everything that blocks your path—monsters, humans, gods, whatever! Slaughter them and extract!!”

Tang Ziqian’s greatest dream was to live a simple life with the people he loved most—but even at a young age, he learned that life was never meant to be easy. His parents abandoned him to pursue new love. The boyfriend he had loved for five years cheated on him and left him for his stepbrother. Friends he truly considered family mocked him. And his grandmother—the only person who genuinely loved him—passed away because he couldn’t afford her medication. In the end, everyone he loved had abandoned him. What is he striving for? Why must he suffer? Everything turned dull—a monotonous routine sustaining his existence. In time, he began to "play." Having sex with strangers he met at a bar once a week brought a spark into his mundane life. Unacceptable? Disgusting? Yes. But he grew addicted to the fleeting warmth and sweetness offered by people whose names he didn’t even know. Is this the life he dreamed of? No. He knew this wasn’t the life he was meant to have. He tried to fight against what felt like his fate—but the more he resisted, the worse things became. As days and years passed, he accepted that misery was his destiny. Then one day, he unexpectedly woke up in a new world and met new people. Is this a second chance granted to him—to pursue what he truly wanted? ___________________. English is not my first language.

[You can’t go back. This world is yours now...] [Your body hosts a Supreme Bloodline Evolution System... your potential is endless...] [Conquer the world, Max... Spread your bloodline through the universe...] Max could never have imagined that one day he would transmigrate into a world of magic and supernatural powers. The last thing he remembered was standing at death’s door after being stabbed by his own abusive mother. In the next instant, he found himself being carried to a village far beyond the bounds of common sense. There, he was not only healed, but also awakened a mysterious system that granted him powers beyond imagination. Void magic becomes his main weapon, and every bloodline he absorbs grants him new magic to dominate the world, while forging his body into something far beyond human limitation. Tasked by the system to spread his bloodline through offspring, Max understands that the fastest path to growth is to have children, absorb the bloodlines of the women he sleeps with, and evolve them further, gaining the powers of long-dead ancestors. His goal is clear: to conquer the world and become a myth no one could ever stand against.

Chen Fan transmigrated into an eccentric fantasy world, where countless Eerie Creatures wreaked havoc on humanity after nightfall. With the Perpetual Night Lord panel that came along with his transmigration, he became an Architect and built from scratch his own camp on the desolate wastelands. Eerie Fire, City Wall, and Sacrificial Tower rose one by one, and his reputation gradually spread throughout Rivernorth. Until— When the "Apocalypse" descended, bringing numberless frenzied Eerie Creatures to ravage the world, leaving the people in fear and trembling... A colossal Great Wall stretching across the continent suddenly sprang from nothing! ... "This is the Continent of Perpetual Night." "My domain."

"Honesty and politics don’t belong in the same sentence," they say. Celine Yue, a kind-hearted social worker, stepped into politics to help more people. But what she didn’t know… was that her own party would be the one to end her life. After her death, she wakes up in another world as Cyrina Vaeloria, the Elf Princess—right on the day of her arranged marriage to Lucian Aetherion, the cold, mysterious Human Prince and strongest mage alive. A political union to keep two powerful races from tearing each other apart. But this so-called alliance is just a mask. She despises the way other races are trampled beneath noble boots. Cyrina refuses to be a pretty puppet. She dreams of building a new kingdom—where races aren’t divided by power, bloodlines, or magic. To do that, she’ll need power of her own. And lucky her... she just married the most dangerous man in existence. With sharp wit and stubborn grace, Cyrina slowly bends her cold husband to her will— She toys with the ruthless Archmage, tames the untamable… and drags him into a revolution wrapped in royal silk. After all, if you marry the strongest mage alive… you might as well make him yours. ***** excerpt~ Lucian’s voice is like a blade, low and sharp. “Do you even understand what you said in the royal assembly?” Cyrina lifts her chin, unbothered. “I understand perfectly. I said I’ll build a new kingdom—where every race can live together.” His eyes darken. “You don’t know what you’ve sparked. That speech—” he steps closer, “—could ignite a war. You’re underground now, Cyrina. Buried beneath politics you don’t even see coming.” She spins on her heel and waves dismissively. “Ugh. Kaelen Blackthorn, your master is giving me a migraine. Get me out of this castle before I set it on fire.” Kaelen gives a slow, exaggerated bow. “As you wish, my lady.” He takes her hand like the perfect gentleman and leads her toward the door— But Lucian’s voice booms behind them. “Kaelen. Don’t forget who your master is.” Kaelen pauses. Glances back. “I remember, my lord. But as per your standing order… I obey only my lady’s command.” A smirk tugs at his mouth. “Even if it means going against you.” **** Per Golden Ticket = 2 extra chapters

He transmigrated into Aemond Targaryen on the night he was meant to lose an eye. He knew the history. He knew the fight. He knew exactly how fate was supposed to carve him into a monster. So he tried to change it. But when the dagger fell, the one who paid the price was not him. From that moment on, history broke. Branded as a kinslayer, feared as a monster, and forced onto the path of the Green faction, Aemond steps into a future no one remembers—one shaped by blood, dragons, and political betrayal. Regent of the Realm. Rider of Vhagar. The man who should not exist. This time, the Dance of the Dragons will not follow the script. ... This is a translation of a Chinese Novel, with minor changes in some parts of the original story.

They thought they were logging into the ultimate sci-fi VRMMO. They had no idea they were the unwitting champions of a starving, newborn Chaos God. [Welcome to Epoch 40k: Mecha] The developers promised glorious mechas, interstellar colonization, and a grand sci-fi epic. Instead, players are dumped into a rotting nightmare where the tutorial involves dodging Ork raiding parties for scrap metal, and the local NPCs chant religious litanies just to repair a rusty tractor. Behind the curtain, however, a newly awakened Chaos God named Lucian Sanctus is desperately pulling the strings. Sitting at the absolute bottom of the Warp's food chain, Lucian needs to harvest emotional energy to survive. But feeding openly means drawing the ire of the established Chaos Gods—especially Slaanesh, as he knows she would love nothing more than to devour a fledgling deity before he can become a threat. His brilliant, desperate solution? Summon gamers from Earth. By disguising a grim, unforgiving reality as a virtual sandbox, Lucian can safely gorge himself on their gamer rage, triumph, and gacha-induced despair without the Emperor or the Chaos Gods noticing a thing. Armed with a total disregard for their own lives, a terrifying penchant for exploiting bugs, and a deeply questionable moral compass, these "players" have formed the Red Dawn guild. The galaxy might be a decaying cesspit, but they have sworn to fix it... or accidentally establish a brand-new galactic empire trying. -- This is translation but don't worry for I AM HERE, I will be the poison tester and remove all the poison I can to make the this Good story, Very Very Good.\

Reincarnated into the treacherous world of Westeros as Roman Rivers, a bastard adopted by House Whent, he finds himself inheriting the cursed, melted ruins of Harrenhal. But Roman isn't just an ordinary pawn in the Game of Thrones. Gifted with the miraculous "Pale Flame" a draconic magic that grants him monstrous strength and purifying fire, he has the power to cleanse the haunted lands. Knowing the devastating War of the Five Kings is fast approaching, Roman refuses to bleed for the Iron Throne. Instead, he combines his magical abilities with modern Earth knowledge to spark an industrial revolution in the Riverlands. From inventing blast furnaces and cement to forging an elite, disciplined standing army, Roman sets out to transform the continent's most tragic fortress into an impregnable, utopian empire. Let the Lannisters and Starks play their games; the Lord of Harrenhal is building a dynasty of steel.

Fifteen years after the events of the past generation, a new one attempts to usher its way into even more important affairs. Magic has taken over the political and social elements of the world, and it is their obligation to fight their own battles and rise to the top just as their parents did.
