A million years ago, the First Emperor vanished, leaving behind a throne that governs reality itself. In his absence, his servants stole the world, rebranding themselves as the Ancient Families and ruling humanity from the shadows. They thought the true bloodline was extinguished. They were wrong. Evan Kyros was just a starving student in the slums of New Orelis, fighting eviction and drowning in debt. But one night, the world stopped, and the Emperor System chose him. Offered the three pillars of absolute power—The Apex (Strength), The Nexus (Magic), and The Aurum (Wealth)—Evan understood that in a modern world, gold is sharper than any sword. He chose The Aurum as his foundation. Now, armed with a Tier 1 account boasting unlimited funds and an Intelligence stat breaking the human limit, Evan has the power to buy the world. But this is only the beginning. To reclaim the Throne, he must eventually unlock the full Trinity—mastering the Body and the Spell to become the true Emperor. But the Ancient Families are watching from their glass towers. Worse still, the Heirs of other Gods are descending, seeking to claim the empty throne for themselves. Forced to mask his identity while rising from the slums of New Orelis, Evan must wage a silent war where influence is ammunition and legal tender is the deadliest weapon of all. He doesn’t need to dethrone the false Kings just yet. He just needs to lay the first stone of his own Empire. Author's Note: This is Book One of the Emperor System saga. The MC is a high-intelligence strategist who builds power through wealth, influence, and deception (The Aurum Path) before unlocking combat and magical abilities (Apex and Nexus) in later volumes. Expect kingdom-building, ruthless business tactics, and a protagonist who outsmarts the world.

Luo Qiu became the boss of a ‘club’ by chance. It was a weird club that sold strange items, assisted by a servant girl with 300 years of work experience. Countless people with dreams, hopes and ambitions came to the club, exchanging everything precious they owned just to fulfill their desires. They would offer their lifespan, items, and even their soul. Each successful trade would increase Luo Qiu’s lifespan by a little. “Tribute successful, your lifespan has increased by 99 years.” Thus, Luo Qiu began his endless life as the club’s boss.

If life could start over, how would you choose? Would you still choose to be an ordinary person, perhaps with inner brilliance but unknown to others, watching the clouds roll by from a high vantage point?

Everyone loves Mr. Lynch, everyone cannot do without him! Write your own laws, set down the rules I say, in this short span of life, either light up yourself or ignite the world!

This is a story about exploring technology in a wizarding world. Probability, electromagnetic induction, nuclear physics and theory of relativity—all of this can be mastered through scientific exploration and learning. Richard had always thought so… until he transmigrates to a world similar to the Middle Ages and becomes a prince. In this world of wizard and magic, he embarks on a journey to explain magic with science. One day, a dragon takes him away. "This is not in line with aerodynamics? It does not satisfy the Kutta condition, Circulation Theory of Lift and Bernoulli's principle either? How can it fly? Is there a special power source in its body?" Richard could not help saying as he glances down at the huge dragon he was riding on. "Well, I need to research this." "By the way, you said you kidnapped me to find a playmate for your daughter. That doesn't sound like a good reason, right?" “Roar!” the dragon hollers furiously and waves its wings, soaring into the sky. Will Richard be able to continue on his journey of exploration and unravel the mystery of the wizarding world?

The first star that passed away extinguished two thousand years ago. Four hundred years later, the mysterious Calamity of Heavenly Fall destroyed the civilization of the previous era, returning thriving cultures to ignorance. Since then, stars gradually vanished, the Firmament grew dark and dim, and a new civilization rose from the starless wilderness, flourishing once more. Yet, what accompanied this were war, death, destruction, and hatred. The flames once aimed at the Firmament were used to slaughter the people of enemy nations, and the raining clouds once engineered to alter deserts were turned into floods that engulfed the land. Humans once again began to kill each other for wealth and power... but no one looked up at the sky. They lost the Guidance of the stars Above the Sky, forgetting the awe of gazing upon the Milky Way. They were all prisoners. One thousand six hundred years after the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, a young child awakened memories of his past life. He wanted to break the Cage, to throw off the shackles. He wanted to become a star. To return to Above the Sky. "I don't care about how the people of this world live, whether they're well-fed or not, whether they can dress warmly or live comfortably, whether they have dreams or hopes. I don't care about their loves and hates." "I just want to go Above the Sky." ——Ian.

Battling an unusual form of personality dissociation, Motan admits to feeling the weight of immense pressure bearing down on him. Amidst this turmoil, he finds solace in a virtual escape called "The Realm of Innocence," a game that has become his sanctuary from stress. In the realm where ambiguity reigns, Motan's behavior is unpredictable and impetuous, making him the instigator and mastermind behind myriad events that spiral out of control. Yet, within the sphere of virtue, his resilience and courage shine through, earning him the admiration of many who see him as the epitome of a righteous knight and a fair judge. When dwelling in the balance of absolute neutrality, he adopts a demeanor of modesty and lethargy, mirroring the ordinary essence of every soul. Conversely, in the domain of chaotic evil, he transforms into a figure of madness and cruelty, embodying the very essence of a demon and deceiver, showing kindness only to himself. "Tan Mo is the most extraordinary Bard I have ever encountered, though he is... perplexing, to say the least," comments Countess Leisha, reflecting on his complex nature. "Mor is a man of distinguished integrity! Having met him just once, I am convinced that he is someone one can confidently turn their back to," declares Gwen, the leader of the Rose Rot, acknowledging his noble character. "If you're in search of the ideal neighbor, look no further than Hei Fan," recommends Alchemist Luna, suggesting his suitability for companionship. Yet, amidst these varied testimonies, a warning resonates, "Don't talk about that man!" indicating a mysterious, perhaps darker aspect of his persona that remains unexplored.

Thank you very much! -0- Chess players have no future in Indonesia! That was what Adrian Sheva, a 17-year-old boy from the most crowded district in Jakarta, said to convince himself that delving into the chess world would be a waste of time. He didn't even bat his eyes after getting the system that would help him become the best chess player in the world. No, it is better to work in a food stall and earn money honestly. However, it seems that the people around him disagree. They all see the talent hidden in Sheva - although Sheva himself insists that it all comes from the system - and force him to go deeper into this world. As he accumulates more experiences, playing more tournaments, making new friends, and fighting against new rivals from other countries, and winning some glories for his country, slowly but surely, this game starts to grow on him. Until in the end, he finally looks back at his journey from the bottom, Sheva cannot help but smile and say, "Oh, well... It seems that this game is not as bad as I thought..."

Reincarnating in a fantasy world is something. But what happens if you reincarnate in a body of someone with no combat power. That's what i am going through right now in the body of Oscar in Douluo Dalu continent with Sausage Martial Spirit.

Freshly reincarnated into a gritty fantasy world brimming with dragons, elves, demons, and all the classic high-fantasy chaos? No problem. Get infected by lycanthropy immediately upon arrival? Uh… okay then.

In a world containing mysterious portals called Instances, the human race was at the bottom of the hierarchy. Entering an Instance meant possessing a character from a different world and completing a dedicated mission. Losing one Instance after another, the incompetent human race was ultimately sentenced by “The Core” to three years before complete and utter annihilation. However, the renowned magician and trickster Jester never anticipated that an inconspicuous die would appear at his front door in the middle of the night, at 12:00 a.m, just as yet another day was removed from the three years they had left. Facing hundreds of thousands of gates containing parallel worlds, Jester must possess and survive the innumerable challenges that the “Main Character” of each world experienced in order to gain all the abilities honed over a lifetime of training. Nano Criminal, Living Human Mask, Ultrasonic Muscle Reflex... Will Jester eventually acquire the abilities necessary to save the entire human race? Witness how he slithers through different Instances, wielding a self-made ability forged from the powers he gained across parallel worlds—The Art of the Joker—a heaven-defying cheat that continuously grows stronger, one even the upper echelons of other races, their talents godlike as such, would never have considered!

a calamity once shook the earth and made it seem like extinction of all was certain however amidst the ashes of destruction the earth sudden awakened a latent power which seeped out from its core, transforming the earth and it's inhabitants and granting humans miraculous powers called ABILITIES which were powered by the energy which humans had evolved to harness. plants and animals on the other hand continuously evolved into terrifying beasts with slight semblance to their weaker predecessors. Now, over 3000 years later a mysterious young boy surrounded by strange circumstances,a past shrouded in mystery , and an unusual aura surrounding him finds himself with a mysterious system and in the prestigious sentinel military academy now with a new unknown ally in the form of the system Zen is on a mission for so much more than he knows. will he succeed? especially with literal and figurative ghosts from his past coming back to haunt them and pieces of their mysterious past coming to haunt him? ( wait did i say "them" and "their"? oops spoilers!) [important message] okay so the novel starts out a bit slow with little to no action scenes and more about providing info on the world and the MC Also,truth is i was confused about what to put as a warning notice or whether to put one at all because although the novel might contain some salty language there's really nothing too extreme. also I'd like to guarantee that there are no smut scenes. there might be some times when it almost happens or it did and I might not just go into it in detail or skip it altogether. plus there might be some times with extreme gore and torture both physical and psychological (mostly psychological) especially considering I want who as far as you know is the MC and most characters surrounding him to be as heartless as possible , and I want it to be clear that the MC is by no means a good person and won't hesitate to do some morally questionable stuff to achieve his goals,although not without reason. one last thing is that at first it might seem like I'm trying to make him powerful from the start for no reason but it's mostly due to specific circumstances. okay bye!

He died quietly, a novel still open in his hands. Reborn into that very world, he expected chaos—struggle, desperation, perhaps even tragedy. Instead, he was born as a prince of the greatest Empire. There was no tragic childhood. No succession battles. No desperate climb for power. From the moment of his birth, something was different. A body that rejected no growth. A soul that harmonized flawlessly with both magic and aura. Talent so natural it felt less like fortune—and more like inevitability. The romance novel’s original story continues somewhere far away, untouched by his existence. Yet as he grows, trains, and steps quietly onto the stage of history, the world begins to respond. Not through schemes. Not through ambition. But through sheer perfection. This is not a story of survival. This is the story of a life reborn exactly as it was meant to be. Perfect Reincarnation

Chen Yu got up after receiving his daily cultivation from his clone. His secretary came in and said, “Master, the new courier system is taking off…” “What the hell is this talisman-like thing…” the old master of the Demonic Sect muttered, staring at the smartphone in his hand. “It’s the newest product from the Heavenly Mechanisms Pavilion! Come, come, come! Master, look at this young cultivator- he gained 100k followers in one day for his cold demeanor and sword strike!” an excited young lady exclaimed. “Why the hell is my body-refining pill taking so long to get delivered!” grumbled a small qi cultivator. Just then, a young man in a Flowing Leaf Express uniform appeared. “Sorry, sorry, this is your pill. Please pay through the SpiritPay app…” He hopped onto his Leaf-Mobile and zipped away into the sky. -------- I will publish a chapter everyday till February!
