kingdombuilding

Synopsis In a world reshaped by the Stargates, humanity has unlocked the power of the Hallowed Realm—a personal dimension that serves as the foundation for a cultivator’s path to Godhood. While the noble houses of various kingdoms use their vast wealth to secure high-grade Hallowstones and supreme relics, Julian Thorne is a commoner with nothing but a basic academy education and the memories of a past life. When Julian finally ignites his Hallowed Realm, he doesn't receive a standard weapon or a rare elixir. Instead, he witnesses a mysterious Blue Lotus bury itself into the dark earth of his soul. The result is the awakening of a Realm Trait—a legendary phenomenon that transforms his empty void into a living, evolving sanctuary. In an era of warring empires, abyssal demons, and celestial invaders, Julian must cultivate his land and his strength to rise from a mere mortal to a legend. Wealth can buy power, and lineage can grant status—but only Julian holds the keys to the Eternal Sanctuary.

Coming back from the magic world, Riya rebuked her shameless stepmother. She was back to her first life with the world treasure and thought that her life would be smooth sailing. But… What was happening with the environment? Why did the mana suddenly recover on this Green Planet? And why did those magic beasts also appear? Riya: ??? Ah, Riya silently swore to secretly become stronger to deal with these magic beasts that went on rampage. She would use her runes to make a better life while watching the world recover from the destruction. Unfortunately, things were not so simple. Her best friend’s brother suddenly locked his attention on her. “Ah, ah, ah, you don't have to mind me….” “The runes you make are really interesting. Can you show me more?” The man smiled and stepped closer. “I…I can, but can you please not come too close?!” Riya just wanted to meditate silently, so how did she suddenly attract this big boss’s attention? ...

Nareth was chosen by the Sefirot "Kingdom of Disorder," altering his fate from the gestation pod and giving the Chaos Gods a little shock. During the Great Crusade, he expanded the empire's borders. In the Horus Heresy, he slew the traitorous Primarchs. After the Emperor ascended the Golden Throne, as the only remaining Primarch, he became the one to put out fires across the galaxy. In the War of the Beast, he struck down the Beast. In the Eternal War, he made traitors tremble in fear. All praise his loyalty—but was that the whole truth? "Actually, I was just in it for the benefits. "What? You didn’t notice? With the potion ingredients, I could nurture Beyonders. "Belisarius Cawl was my ‘enlightener’..." "I am the shadow of order, finding every exploitable loophole in the rules." He is the Black Emperor, the one who dictates the laws. He forges a new empire and carves out a future for humanity, drowning in darkness and despair!

Note: English is not my native language; this is a translation of my original work Lua Fraturada: A Origem do Mago das Bestas. Kain was just an ordinary young man from the 21st century. Now, he lives in a world where mages treat lives as resources, and experiments as routine. In his eyes, anything can become material on a dissection table. Trapped in a research tower, marked, watched, and surrounded by monsters he himself creates. Thrown into a remote area, under the tutelage of a paranoid mentor, marked like cattle. Will he be just another test subject? Or the creator of his own destiny?

Before gods ruled, the world was whole. When immortal beings crossed into Earth to observe, their presence shattered an age and revealed a power hidden within humanity itself. Fearing imbalance, the gods chose equality—and divided the world to enforce it. Now gods rule a land that never asked for them, mortals carry power they do not understand, and order stands where wholeness once existed. Tales of the Zodiac is a mythic epic of cosmic world-building, divine consequence, and the price of choosing control over truth.

After awakening in Lelouch Lamperouge’s body, a reincarnated anti-hero finds himself moments from execution by Britannian soldiers. Already imbued with the Geass, he sees his sudden second chance not as a curse, but as the ultimate opportunity. As the soldiers open fire, he instinctively wields his new power, bending their wills and orchestrating their deaths with cold precision. Standing alone amidst the carnage, he realizes the full scope of the opportunity before him. With the world unaware of the force now inhabiting one of its most brilliant minds, he resolves to reshape Britannia—and the globe—under his command.

[ Warning: Adult content 18+ ] I was strong. Annoyingly strong. Strong enough that fights ended in seconds. When nothing on Earth could challenge you, you start looking for something that might actually try. Turns out Hell was real. And it was exactly what I needed. The First Layer wasn’t fire and brimstone. It was Lust. A realm of temptation ruled by demon queens who’d never met a man they couldn’t break. They looked at me like prey, another soul to dominate and discard. They were wrong. Every victory rewrote the rules. Defeated demons didn’t vanish. They followed me back instead. Some shocked. Some curious. All of them learning that losing to me didn’t mean the end. It meant belonging. In Hell, strength decides everything. Who dominates. Who submits. Who stays. I'm not here to conquer Hell. I'm here to enjoy it. One layer at a time. One queen at a time. And Lust has plenty to offer a man who can't be broken. ============ No NTR No Yuri

A world of magic. A "mage" born without it. And an outrageous f*cking crew. In the Valley Kingdom, where steampunk meets futurism and magic means status, one Guild stands wildly apart: the Black Wolf Knights, or rather—the Black Wolves. Their leader, Greed, carries neither magic nor nobility, only a title he never wanted and a forgotten past. And his crew is as unhinged as they are loyal: A Ghost-mage whose eyepatch hides more than it covers. A powerhouse who hits like a Behemoth and naps like it’s a sport. A vice captain calm enough to fool any con artist. A horned lunatic with zero sense of danger—because she is the danger. A cyborg. A wolfdog the size of a lyconbear. And others just as—if not more—chaotic. The Black Wolves survive on grit, loyalty, and a collection of insanely broken abilities. But when a conspiracy threatens to swallow the Kingdom—and pins the crime on them—they become fugitives in the very nation they swore to protect. Armed with a strange power that defies magic. A crew ready to leap off any cliff with him. And a memory fighting to resurface. Greed, the Black Wolves, and a few allies must face enemies the Kingdom never saw coming. The Valley never believed in them. But they might be their last hope. Expect: - Black Clover meets Final Fantasy meets Gachiakuta meets Vox Machina - OP MC from the start with no magic [NOT ANTI-MAGIC], progressively gets even more OP - Harem relationships in the beginning, moderate fanservice (hate me), and strong romance subplot towards the end with only one girl - Multiple perspectives from multiple characters - Intricate plot, tons of world building, character building, backstories, and fighting - A long, ongoing story Author's note: This book is only available on Royal Road, Webnovel, Scribble Hub, Inkitt, Wattpad, and featured on Chereads as well for the time being. If you're reading it anywhere else, it is entirely without my permission.

Summoner Guild Online was supposed to be the launch of the century. For millions of players, it was the ultimate escape. A world of endless adventure, legendary loot, and guild wars that would make history. But for Kai Grimer, it became a death trap. He doesn't spawn in the starting village like the others. Instead, he wakes up in the suffocating darkness of the Tutorial Dungeon—not as a player, but as the final boss. An NPC designed to be slaughtered by wave after wave of newbies farming their first XP. The logout button doesn't work. The system won't respond. And if he dies here, there's no respawn. Desperate and hunted, Kai activates his only skill, [Grand Summon]. It's a gamble: sacrifice XP to pull a random servant from across dimensions. He's hoping for something useful. A knight. Maybe a mage. Even a halfway-decent slime would do. What he gets instead is Lyra, the Abyssal Empress. [Rating: 9999 Class: World-Ending Calamity Danger Level: Apocalypse-Tier.] She's devastatingly beautiful. Unimaginably powerful. And completely, utterly insane. She despises humanity, mocks the system, and has enough power to crack continents in half. But thanks to the summoning contract, she has one unbreakable rule: absolute obedience to Kai. And somehow, that obedience has twisted into something far more dangerous—obsession. But Kai isn't running anymore. With each wave of players he defeats, he earns XP. With each summon he pulls, his army grows. Knights. Demons. Spirits. Beasts. And perhaps... more dangerous beauties who don't appreciate Lyra's self-proclaimed monopoly on their Master's attention. [You have defeated 47 Players] [New Summon Available] Trapped between overpowered summons fighting for his favor, guilds hunting his legend, and a game system that's starting to break under his existence, Kai has one goal: He won't just survive Summoner Guild Online. He'll conquer it. And if a few world-ending beauties want to fight over him along the way? Well, that's just part of being the strongest summoner.

Once a man in the prime of his life, forged by years of exhausting study—sustained by energy drinks—by harsh military discipline and relentless, grinding labor, he had finally reached the moment to live for himself. Free at last from the weight of financial chains that had kept him from his desires, he found happiness in doing what he loved. Life showed no mercy. A single accident erased everything he had built in a matter of seconds. Yet the cycle did not end. He breathed again. This time, in the body of a child. Not reborn into warmth or safety, but into captivity—into the body of a young prisoner of war, stripped of freedom, bound for slavery. His name was Basil, a name meant for greatness.

When Roy's high school class was summoned to another world, they got swords. He got a warship. A 210-meter-long metal beast armed with railguns, missiles, an AI and more! In a realm of wooden ships and medieval magic, the battleship is an unstoppable iron demon, and Roy is its reluctant master. His mission evolves from simple survival to an audacious crusade: to carve out a sanctuary for the oppressed. With every slaver fleet he obliterates and every tyrant he dethrones, his legend grows, drawing the attention of scheming empires, a ruthless pirate alliance, and the ancient, slumbering powers of the world. This isn't just a story about a guy with a big boat. It's about what happens when a futuristic battleship declares war on an entire fantasy world, one cataclysmic, city-leveling broadside at a time.

From overworked corporate slave to… the fat niece of a future villain? At twenty-three, my life ended in the most ironic way possible, drowning in a lake while reading an online romance novel. When I woke up, I wasn’t just alive, I was inside that very novel. And worse, not as the princess or the healer or even the tragic maid. No. I woke up as Seraphine Agro, the silver-haired, chubby niece of the story’s main villain, Duke Tayler Agro, the man who would one day summon a famine, experiment on peasants, and get publicly executed. Awesome. Now I’m stuck in a half-collapsed mansion with stale soup, a broken “Duke” father who’s too kind for his own good, and an entire kingdom collapsing into plague and hunger. And to make things worse, the hero of the story—the dangerously handsome knight Sir Alex Canva, is on his way to inspect our lands. I know the plot. I know who dies. And I’m not planning to go quietly. Armed with sarcasm, stubbornness, and a questionable diet, I’m rewriting destiny, one disastrous choice at a time.

"In the world of Arcanos, purity is a lie, and power is the only truth." Cyan Valerian, the legitimate heir of the Valerian Duchy, was born with a "Saint’s Heart," only to be betrayed by those he swore to protect. His core was shattered by his own brother, and his fiancée, the Holy Saintess, watched in cold silence as he was cast into the Abyss of Silent Bones. But the Abyss didn't consume him; it changed him. [System: Absolute Corruption Initiated.] Now, Cyan returns not as a savior, but as the King of Sin. With a system that feeds on the shadows of the soul, he will corrupt the 'pure,' break the 'holy,' and rebuild the world in his image. How long can the Heavens stand when the Darkness is absolute?

Henry Lukas was nothing special. A loner. A failure. A guy whose biggest achievement was surviving one more day in a world that never gave a damn about him. Bullied, humiliated, betrayed; he’d stopped believing in dreams, people, or even himself. That is, until the day a goddess smiled as he died. Now, he's been selected by the Goddess of Mischief to become a Dimensional Journeyman—a wanderer across chaotic worlds filled with monsters, magic, and madness. Armed with only a random Aspect and the ability to choose his starting world, Henry’s second life begins with a twisted gift: He must pick one of five wildly different routes, each more insane than the last. 1. Dual Leveling in the Apocalypse: A ravaged Earth where monsters reign and only those who can level twice can hope to survive. 2. Heaven's Descent: Gods descend, civilizations crumble, and faith becomes a weapon. 3. Rebirth: Dual Cultivator: In a lust-fueled cultivation realm, power and passion go hand in hand. 4. Combat Slave Harem: A brutal world ruled by strength and conquest. The more you dominate, the stronger you become. 5. Re: Vampire and Dragon: A war-torn fantasy where immortals rule, and only forbidden bloodlines can challenge fate. But is this truly a second chance... or just another cruel joke? With no one to trust, memories soaked in pain, and a goddess who clearly enjoys watching him squirm, Henry will have to carve his own path in worlds more twisted than fiction. Revenge, power, women, freedom, purpose; whatever it is he seeks, he’ll have to earn it. Because this time, the fate destiny won't break him. This time… he’ll break free from his destiny. --- Tags: Isekai, Antihero Protagonist, Dark Fantasy, Slave Harem (Gradual), Revenge, Leveling Systems, Multiple Worlds, Emotional Trauma, Ruthless MC, Psychological Growth, NSFW (After 20) --- If You're a reader who enjoy brutal isekai with emotional depth, morally grey decisions, and worlds that push both power and sanity to the limit.

Satoru was a genius engineer on Earth, but his talents were wasted on stacking shelves at a convenience store and fixing bugs for ungrateful bosses. His only escape was his garage, where he worked on the "Unified Field Theory" to prove that physics and magic were one and the same. When a mysterious Voyager offers him a one-way ticket to a world where his intellect can rewrite reality, Satoru accepts. But there is no red carpet waiting for him. Betrayed upon arrival, hunted by armored beasts, and sold by those he thought were saviors, Satoru realizes this new world is not a paradise—it is a gladiator pit. Awakening a System that interprets magic as code, Satoru gains the power of the [Quantum Gate] and [Cerebral Overclock]. He is physically weak, but his mind is a weapon of mass destruction. From a slave to a King, follow the rise of the Void Engineer as he builds a technologically advanced nation in the desolate Void Lands, uniting monsters and outcasts to challenge the ancient Gods and the Voyager himself. Physics is just magic with a manual. And Satoru just wrote the manual.

Being strong is a temporary thing, but being handsome is a lifelong thing. The transmigrator named Vegapunk touched his big head and made up his mind to change his body and appearance first, and then think about other things! However, there seemed to be a small problem during the soul transfer. The person was fine, but why was the world changed? Alright, it seems that before returning to the pirate world, I need to first unify the ninja world and develop a world shuttle.

A warp error sends Aiden, a Mech and Autonomous Systems Engineer, and his research vessel, somewhere no star map recognizes. Below lies a world ruled by mana, monsters, and kingdoms divided by magic and swords. With limited technology, a damaged ship, and an AI carrying layers of data and research even the protagonist did not fully understand, survival was not a matter of power but of preparation. Clean water mattered more than weapons. Shelter mattered more than pride. And slowly, others began to notice. People rejected by mage towers. Soldiers tired of endless wars. Civilians who simply want to live. In a world that decides worth by mana, an engineer begins building something different. Not a weapon. Not an empire. A place where logic stands beside magic. Where swords are not discarded. And where survival is treated as a right for everyone, not a privilege.

"Disaster comes from the sea. Behold, this is the truth behind your prosperity..." "I am the emperor! Why can't I have a golden palace?" "Let the flames burn a little longer! Hmm, isn't this a form of purification?" "Hmm! I'm not interested in history or anything like that, but you seem to lack some proper respect for the emperor?" … Mary Geoise, a red figure stood on the throne. "For your hell, let us give you a thousand thunderous cheers!"

You can even possess and personally command them. Bad news: You only have 500 points, and can summon nothing beyond basic units. Good news: By leveling up, you can earn more points, gain greater authority, and eventually claim your own colony as a newly appointed Planetary Governor. Bad news: A Necron tomb lies right beneath your seat of power. Good news: Even more Cursed High Lords are waiting for your call to arms. So gather your allies, prepare for the unexpected, and plunge into a chaotic yet thrilling Warhammer 40,000 adventure where every move could change the fate of your world. ---------------------------- If you want to support me: patreon.com/TripleCrown07
