Power runs in blood - and blood always demands payment. Aya rules the North Kingdom with an ancient power that could end her bloodline forever. When Killan, the Southern King, seeks alliance through marriage, politics turn dangerous and desire becomes a liability. What begins as political maneuvering soon becomes something far more volatile. Drawn together by necessity, respect, and a growing attraction neither expected, Aya and Killan must navigate court intrigue, ancient rivalries, and the heavy cost of duty. As old wounds resurface and war looms on every border, the choices they make will determine not only the fate of their kingdoms—but the price of their hearts. Echoes of Ice and Iron is a story of power and inheritance, of love tested by obligation, and of sacrifices demanded by crowns forged in blood and history.

"I believe that if you have a problem, we just need to solve it with firepower. If the problem isn't solved by then, it just means we weren't using enough firepower." In a world of swords and magic, Lucen Thornehart, the eldest son of the Iron Duke, was considered the shame of the noble knight bloodline. No talent, weak, and worthless. Until one day, when a fever awoke his previous life's memories and the knowledge of the class from an old game he used to play, Gun Mage. More than just guns, he creates weapons that have never been created in this life and the last. A sword that heats up, turns crimson, and could melt metal. A rune-engraved gun that mages use to amplify their spells. A giant sword that you would only once see in a video game, which makes an explosion every time it hits an enemy. A gun that is powered by mana and shoots out condensed amounts of mana. Airships, steam trains, and boats. Lucen Thornehart isn’t here to play fair. He’s here to redefine warfare, with overwhelming firepower.

Warning!!! Warning!!! This novel contains Game of Thrones spoilers. Warning!!! Viewer's discretion is advised. A modern soul with a sharp mind for strategy and a tragic encounter with a truck wakes up in the freezing winds of the North. He isn't a Stark, and he isn't a Lannister.

Or will he burn the Iron Throne to the ground and forge a Golden Throne from its ashes? In the game of thrones, you win or you die. But with a System? You rewrite the rules. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Author here!

"Seriously," I muttered. "Fucking hell." This was not how it was supposed to go. I was just about getting used to my miserable little slice of peace. I'd paid for it in cartilage and vertebrae, depression, ED and all other side effects that comes with being an army grunt for twenty five years straight. I was finally getting my life back on track. All I wanted, all I was begging the universe for. Was to enjoy being a thrice-divorced, alimony-paying, alcoholic, nicotine-addicted ex-army grunt with fucked knees, a wrecked back, and anger management issues that at this point technically counted as a personality. That was it. That was the dream. Instead, I got this. Fucking reality with patch notes a fucking third-rate, overused, bargain-bin trope of reality turning into a godsdamn MMO RPG with no bloody toturial, explanation or even proper fucking gaming experience balancing In the end I finally kicked the bucket but guess what after going out In a blaze of glory by blowing up my power armors fusion core I open my eyes only to find myself In my eighteen year old body, theres just one tiny problem apearantly my AI got reincarnated along side me long story short basically I got a nagging AI with mood swings Inside my bloody head, seriuosly what could possible go wrong?

With charm, strategy, and unyielding dominance, he transforms slaves into queens, refugees into loyal subjects, and wasteland into thriving empire. Through bedroom conquests and battlefield triumphs, political intrigue and diplomatic mastery, he forges an unstoppable realm where devotion grants unimaginable power. From forgotten ruins to the throne of the heavens, witness the rise of a king who rules not just lands—but hearts.

Five thousand years ago, mighty beings known as the Dragons roamed the world. They dominated with their strength, intellect, hard scales, and mythical powers. No being dared to raise their gaze in their presence. Once, the God tribe attempted to do so. The outcome: complete defeat for the tribe. This result shook the world, establishing the dragons as the kings of all monsters and the Gods of Gods. They were bestowed with titles such as the God Slayers, Demon Slayers, Monster King, Ruler of the World, and more. However, all of this was in the past. Strangely, the power of the dragons started to wane after their Emperor, Dragon Dracia, unexpectedly died 5,000 years ago. Today, 5,000 years later, the Dragons are mere slaves and regarded as the lowest of all creatures on Earth. Despite their large numbers, they are considered weaklings and cowards, hunted for their scales and flesh. Their claws are torn from their bodies, and even their hearts, considered a delicacy, are removed. What's worse... even slimes and goblins bully them! Quite the embarrassment. Azeth, however, is different. As someone given a chance to reincarnate, he finds it revolting that the very dragons that he admired, are considered weak. With a few cheats up his sleeve, Azeth is ready to revolutionize the era. "I'm not a weak dragon, you Bongo!"

[ Locked: 40k+ Words ] I read the novel. I knew the story. The Third Prince dies at Chapter 47 to make the hero stronger. Cool. Except I'm the Third Prince now. Terminal illness in my first life. Scripted death in my second. Fate really hates me. But when the protagonist's sword pierced my heart, I didn't stay dead—I came back with the one talent the Dragon God himself wielded: Creation. The ability to CREATE from nothing—weapons, techniques, power itself. Now I've got dragon blood, forbidden knowledge, and zero interest in being anyone's stepping stone. The hero wants justice? He can try taking it from a dragon. My brothers want the throne? They can fight for scraps. Fate wants me dead? Let's see it try again. I'll claim forbidden artifacts, manipulate prophecies, and build an empire from the ashes of a story that was never mine. If that makes me the villain—Good. Villains don't die at Chapter 47. They rewrite the ending. This is my story now.

Qiren Lin was once an ordinary man, down on his luck. His medical clinic stood on the brink of closure. He was financially ruined after his wife vanished with half his possessions. Within the same month, his house burned to the ground—and his car was stolen. It was almost absurd. How could one man be this unlucky? Why was misfortune focused so precisely on him? With no road left to walk, he wandered the streets, lost in thought. Then he saw it—a boy crossing the path of a black cat. In that single logical second—no, in that half-millisecond—something shattered. Curses etched into the road revealed themselves. The cat’s shadow stretched, twisting into the silhouette of a tiger that tore the boy from his feet. A homeless man sat beneath a flickering lamppost, unaware of vile spirits gnawing at his shoes, unraveling his socks, stealing the buttons from his coat. In that moment, Qiren perceived a universal truth—one that transcended heaven, earth, and every realm in between. He had been cursed.

Following the death of the emperor, the Astanian Empire plunged into chaos. His two sons both aiming for the throne caused a civil war that divided the empire. In the midst of this conflict, Alaric was forced into conscription. He later joined the crown prince’s army as a company commander. He led his 100-man army into battle, fiercely fighting with the hope of a better future. Unfortunately, he was just too weak to cause a ripple on the battlefield. A single arrow to the head shattered his hopes and he died without even a proper burial. Just when he thought that everything was over, he found himself back to his younger self with his memories intact. Armed with his knowledge of the future and a system that awakened his dormant powers, Alaric began his journey to overcome his fated demise. ~~~ Additional Tags: #Territory Management #Strong to Overpowered #Regression #War

Everything functions in a cycle, be it an ant, bird, lion, human, or even a celestial body. This cycle initiates with one's birth and governs one's end, yet there exists the potential to surpass it. Among the billions of planets floating in the cosmos, destined to merely occupy a void, some have the capacity to ascend, reaching new dimensions, standing shoulder to shoulder with realms like Heaven and Hell. --- Vlad, a young man, found himself ill-fitted in a world that scarcely offered him any luck, weighed down by a mysterious secret that initially seemed more of a burden than a boon. Yet, the powers he had dismissed as trivial eventually became his most formidable strength when the apocalypse broke, unleashing literal pandemonium as angels and demons walk among the human race. ---- Discord link: https://discord.gg/am5hkAdmhp Weekly updates: 14 chapters 100 Power Stones: 2 extra chapters 200 Power Stones: 4 extra chapters 300 Power Stones: 6 extra chapters.

In the Avaly Empire, every Omega is adored, valued and respected. Every Omega… except Cadiz Von Eberhart. Born with neither pheromones nor holy powers, Cadiz is the shame of his family and is always in the shadows of his twin brother, Cassius. On their twentieth birthday, Cassius receives thirty seven marriage proposals, but Cadiz receives only one, an unwanted match to Raizel Von Ashforde, the cold Alpha heir of the northern fortress who is rumored to despise Omegas.

He is something far rarer, far more dangerous, a Null Omega, the first seen in generations. When secrets are exposed and loyalty is tested. Cadiz is left to choose between staying the disgrace of his family... or rise as an Omega who could bring the empire to its knees.

This is a work of fiction, any names, characters, stories or events, are fictitious! (Even the country in the story is just the author's fantasy as the author never visited those countries in the story) Armipotent is an archaic adjective meaning "strong in battle." Basically, it refers to someone who is physically tough in war. Originally, it was used to refer to the Roman god of war, Mars. ===================== Tang Shaoyang, an orphan who dropped out of the middle school to fight on the street as he found out school was useless for a penniless orphan like him.

Tang Shaoyang held his chin and mused what Talent he had to choose. "With Zombies appear everywhere, I need an infinite strength... this is one, I still need to choose 2 Talents more..." Then a lewd smile formed on his lips. "I want an infinite strength, charm and charisma to conquer women, and the last one, I want to upgrade my **** so I can please my women!" After saying this, Tang Shaoyang laughed aloud. "Hahaha, there's no way such talent exists... ehhhhh?!!!" Ding! Dong! "3 Talents are consumed! You have been granted Divine Body!
