THE RISE OF THE TERRAN EMPIRE

THE RISE OF THE TERRAN EMPIRE **Synopsis:** Twenty-two-year-old Mohamed Vance is broke, working dead-end jobs, and days away from dropping out of college when he discovers the *System*—an interdimensional marketplace connecting him to technologies from civilizations across the multiverse. Alien AIs, fusion reactors, virtual realities where a day equals a year, even cultivation manuals that can transform the human body into something beyond mortal limits. Everything a genius inventor would need to conquer the world. There's just one catch: the System doesn't take cash. It runs on *System Points*—currency earned only when intelligent beings use Mohamed's creations. Starting with nothing but a $200 laptop and a stolen trade algorithm, Mohamed must build an empire from the shadows, turning lines of code into wealth, wealth into advanced technology, and technology into the foundation of humanity's first interstellar civilization. But Earth isn't ready for alien tech. Government agencies circle. Competencies collapse. As Mohamed's power grows, so does the attention—and the danger. Forced to relocate to a secret facility in Kenya, he builds the infrastructure for humanity's future: server farms running VR time-dilation research, particle colliders reverse-engineering alien physics, fusion reactors powering manufacturing complexes that dwarf cities. All while hiding the truth that he's not a genius inventor—he's the first human cultivator, preparing his mortal body for the wisps of energy that will transform him at Rank 1. From a Kentucky apartment to an African fortress. From software startup to solar system dominion. From broke student to Emperor of the Terran Empire. This is the story of Mohamed Vance—and how one man with a System changed humanity's place in the universe forever. --- **Tags:** #System #Cultivation #WeakToStrong #SciFi #EmpireBuilding #VR #Business #Space #Technology **Word Count Estimate:** 2,500+ words | **Update Schedule:** Daily

Catalyst Cross Lesio

If Naph, a 17 year old, was asked what’s the value of a life? He may answer, “not much.” He would be lying. Extremely. Based on his own experience and his one true goal. Anaphol, aka, Naph, had just killed Bulwark. A 12 year old child designated as a terrorist in a world that is just around the corner to pass its established steampunk era. The bounty on her head? 10 million Tarna. With a condition, ‘bring her head back clean and undamaged.’ Money he wanted to collect for his goal of delivering justice in a place far away. But the consequence of killing Bulwark? A war of enormous proportion on the country that took him in, the very same country that put the bounty on Bulwark. As he began realizing the weight of the consequence, a ray of hope came from the very same light source of his morality. Don Extea gave him a message to follow and he followed it. The message entangling him further into the stories and fate of the world he did not want to become part of. “What a world, as if it is in fact a dark fantasy wanting to be a steampunk.” Remarked a noble referred to as the Duchess of Knowledge in the platinent Jhorime. That only entangled him further and further into what the world demanded out of his existence, pulling him away from the goal he wishes to complete and pushes towards his goal despite it all. Yet, despite everything that keeps happening, one word kept ringing in his mind until he learned its true meaning before he could complete his own goal, the word being: “Cata.” ---------------------------------------------------- Updates regularly with 1 chapter a day. ---------------------------------------------------- Genre: Modern, Urban, Fantasy, Steampunk, Sci-fi, Adventure ---------------------------------------------------- To read ahead of Webnovel and RoyalRoad become my patron on patreon.com, the handle is mentioned below! :) This story is also available on RoyalRoad.com with the same title "Catalyst Cross Lesio" with the username 'alexUnderTheStars'.

BLVCK WOLVES

A world of magic. A "mage" born without it. And an outrageous f*cking crew. In the Valley Kingdom, where steampunk meets futurism and powerful magic means status, a Guild named the Black Wolves stand wildly apart. Their acting captain, Greed, carries neither magic nor nobility, only a title he never wanted and a forgotten past. Though he has no magic, he has another power that defies it—along with a crew as unhinged as they are loyal and who all have their own insanely broken abilities: A Ghost-mage whose eyepatch hides more than it covers. A powerhouse who hits like a Behemoth and naps for sport. A vice captain more promising than most high-ranking mages, but only wants to spend the days cooking. A horned lunatic with a superiority complex and an obsession for her acting captain. A cyborg. A wolfdog the size of a lyconbear. And others off on missions or prolonged duties—each with their own unique quirks. The Black Wolves only have a single goal: to live a life as meaningless and carefree as possible. But when a conspiracy threatens to swallow the Valley—and pins the crime on them—they become fugitives in the very Kingdom they called home. As they fight to clear their names and face an enemy that seeks to destroy everything—the Black Wolves, ironically, become the Valley’s last line of defense. And everyone's last hope. Expect: - Black Clover meets JJK meets Final Fantasy meets Vox Machina - NOT isekai, transmigration, evolution, system, or cultivation. Go look for that elsewhere - OP MC from the start with no magic [NOT ANTI-MAGIC], progressively gets even more OP - Harem relationships in the beginning, moderate fanservice, mild sex scenes (hate me), and strong romance subplot towards the end with only one girl - Classic slow-paced story with character development, backstories, perspectives from multiple characters, stats and ability descriptions, intricate plot, worldbuilding, and of course tons of fighting - A long, ongoing story Written and conjured by J.N. Marlow. All rights reserved. © 2025 J.N. Marlow.

The Exiled Lord: My Maid is a Battle Goddess

In a world torn apart by rifts and constantly ravaged by countless races, the only hope of every species rests upon Lords and the Divine Chosen. Each lord, however, can only form a contract with a single Divine Chosen. Only women can become Divine Chosen. They are the inheritors chosen by the gods, and their strength and abilities are closely tied to the lord’s power of development. … A man transmigrated into this world, arriving in the body of a young man named Phield and taking his place. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he learned that he was about to be exiled by his incompetent father and vicious stepmother to a corrupted land crawling with monsters. Worse still, it was not only his family that was rotten. The corruption had spread across the entire empire —no, the entire world. Cruel and corrupt nobles, cultists who worship dark elves, and conspiracies lurking everywhere all relentlessly persecuted Phield. He cast aside the kindness and cowardly personality of the original host. Awakening a lord’s talent that belonged to him alone, he longed for anything that could drag him out of the abyss. What he awakened was a legacy. While others relied on knights and their Divine Chosen to fight in battle, countless sacred figures appeared behind Phield. Looking down upon the entire world, Phield slowly said, “I do not have only one Divine Chosen behind me. A shattered era is about to be renewed.” —————————————————— Discord:https://discord.gg/H9S8kXXFc
