"They say the Tiger Father has begotten a Dog Son. They couldn't be more wrong." To the world, Xiao Shaojin is the twelve-year-old disappointment of the Northern Border. As the only Heir to the terrifying Prince of Dongqi—a Warlord who makes emperors tremble—Xiao Shaojin is famous for only one thing: being a useless, arrogant "Silk-pants." He bullies scholars, spends gold like water, and once pointed at a rabbit, forcing his subordinates to call it a crow. But it is all a lie. He awakened his "Literary Heart" at the age of three. He mastered the forbidden "Ghost Valley Arts of Strategy" at the age of nine. While the Imperial Court plots to strip his father's power, and the Barbarian Tribes gather under the storms of the North, Xiao Shaojin moves his pieces in the shadows. He commands armies with a toy tiger, outwits ancient Grand Preceptors with a smile, and treats the battlefield like his personal chessboard. In a world where martial might rules, he will prove that a single thought can slaughter thousands. "I don't need to draw a sword to kill you. I just need to count to one."

If i knew that ruling a universe would be this tiring, I would have preferred to retire in my original world…sigh… .

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.

Zayne Locke crossed into a world eerily similar to Earth… except this world is shared by humans, yokai, beasts, demons, and even gods themselves. And the talent he awakened with was absolutely broken he literally cannot die. Ever. But the Job Change Ceremony demands an absurd amount of money. So what did Zayne do? He abused his undying talent and sold his own organs to gather the fee kidney, liver, cornea, all sold because they grow back minutes later. On the day of awakening, he became an SSS Forbidden Spellmaster and the crowd instantly burst into laughter. To them, it was the most pathetic SSS class ever created every forbidden spell requires sacrificing lifespan or flesh. Forbidden Spellmasters never survive long. But only Zayne knew the truth with his undying talent, the fatal weakness of this class… simply does not exist. Short-lived? What does that have to do with someone who literally cannot die? So when Zayne casually unleashed hundreds of forbidden spells like they were basic attacks everyone completely lost their minds. “Bro… just how many lives do you HAVE?! Who the hell uses forbidden spells as their normal attacks?!”

“What… is this place?” Kai doubted whether he was even alive anymore. A fog-like mist drifted endlessly around him, slow and deliberate. Nothing felt real—yet nothing felt like a dream either.

The moment he completes it, he is transferred into a hidden trial realm where rules are dictated by a system he has never seen before. With a Mega Quest placed before him—to collect all shadow fragments—Kai steps onto a path that will reshape his existence. “I will do it happily “ ______ Discord: https://discord.gg/8SS8w7xba

"Special Admission, Rank 1." That was the title on the golden invitation I threw into the trash three months ago. Back then, I was the Crime Lord of Oakhaven. I had money, territory, and an ego that touched the sky. Why would a King lower himself to attend a school? I was arrogant. I was foolish. And I paid the price. It took less than an hour for a single knight to turn my criminal empire into a graveyard. He didn't just defeat me; he ignored me. I was an ant beneath the boot of a god. Broken and desperate, I used my last asset: a golden letter granting me entry to Zenith Imperial Academy as "Special Admission Rank 1." It’s a lie. I’m not a prodigy. I’m a fraud with no foundation, surrounded by the strongest heirs in the Empire who want to see me bleed. I can’t cast their spells. I can’t hold their weapons. But I can steal their lives. My Authority is [Usurper]. While they study theory, I steal reflexes. While they practice honor, I copy trauma. I am not here to learn. I am here to hunt. My targets are the "Four Calamities"—four women who hold powers strong enough to rewrite reality. They think I’m their peer. They don’t know I’m the parasite waiting to hollow them out. I’m going to make them mine. Discord: https://discord.gg/FK9GfrSjtb

[WSA 2026] _______ ____ _ All Ryn wants is to spend a peaceful, ordinary life with his family. However, things go wrong when he finds himself surrounded by classmates who seem convinced they are living inside a novel. "I am a villain destined to die, so I must change the script!" "I came back from the future to save everyone!" "I will protect him at all costs!" At first, Ryn thought they were mentally ill. He dismissed their mutterings as delusions and tried his best to ignore them. But as he accidentally overhears more of their "spoilers" and watches disasters unfold exactly as they predicted, even he starts to doubt. The world really was trying to turn itself into a cliché story. So, to protect the quiet life he loves, Ryn must secretly manage their chaotic "plot" without ever revealing the truth. But is it even possible?

WHAT IF EVERYONE AROUND YOU COULD BE SYNTHETIC—AND YOU HAD NO WAY TO TELL? I decoded my father's final transmission. I wish I hadn't. Synthetic humans are real. An AI facility beneath Colorado is producing perfect infiltrators. They've been placed across the wasteland for years. Anyone could be one. Your commanding officer. Your best friend. The person sleeping in the bunk next to you. My father—Ranger Marcus Chen—discovered this fifteen years ago. He tried to expose it. They killed him. His final transmission was corrupted, classified, buried. The one part that mattered—how to identify synths—was destroyed. Now I'm being deployed to the same place that killed him. With no way to tell who's human. I'm Kai Chen. Here's what I have: - A gift for languages (fluent in six, learning languages in days instead of months) - Rapid learning ability (I acquire skills 5-10x faster than normal) - Trust issues (everyone is a potential threat) - My father's encrypted letters (still can't fully decode them) - A burning need for answers (and maybe revenge) Here's what I'm facing: - Brutal Ranger training designed to break me - A conspiracy that goes to the top of command - Synthetic infiltrators who might already be in the Citadel - A mission to Colorado that's obviously a trap - The frozen wasteland that took my father's life Here's what I know: - The Patriarch is inviting Rangers to Colorado for a reason - People who investigate the synth conspiracy end up dead - I'm walking the same path that killed my father - Some truths are more dangerous than the lies that cover them My father's last words: "Tell Kai I'm sorry." I'm not sorry. I'm finishing what he started. Even if it kills me too. ---

When humanity faces extinction, what breaks first? our bodies, or our humanity? How much of ourselves are we willing to lose to stay alive? In 2104, The world has already ended, but its consequences haven’t. In the OctaCore: the last of humanity's shelters, resources are limited and the radiation is rising fast. Within two years, the surface will become unlivable. Long before that, the food will run out. The monsters that destroyed the world are still out there, but they’re no longer the worst threat. With the shelters on the brink, the council faces an impossible choice: Cull 80% of the population to preserve the remaining 20%, or Launch a suicidal mission into the wasteland to retrieve a supply shipment that could sustain humanity long enough to rebuild. A small team is chosen for the Hail Mary attempt. Memory-scarred survivors, soldiers who’ve already lost too much, and civilians carrying secrets they’d kill to protect—bound together by the thin hope that something out there might still be worth saving. Outside, they will face the world that once was: a ruined city haunted by monsters, nazis and the aftermath of choices no one wants to admit they made. What to Expect: 1. Morally questionable characters 2. No clear good or evil—only survival 3. Character-driven beginning → escalating high-stakes plot 4. Brutal worldbuilding 5. Mature themes (genocide, moral collapse, societal failure) 6. Gore, violent imagery, disturbing psychological content DISCLAIMERS: This story is officially published on multiple platforms under the pen name Zachelodeon.
