Mark Shepherd, an ordinary man from Earth, thought he had died after a distracted driver ran him over. Instead, he wakes up aboard a derelict starship that's rapidly making its descent to a sandy, desolate planet on the fringes of mapped human space. When he awakes, he's greeted by the Fleet Commander system that, equipped with ships and tactical tools, aims to make him the best of the best. However, his system soon malfunctions and is replaced by an unknown one that may never activate, leaving him badly injured and stranded in a race against time to escape the uninhabitable planet.  When he finally hits rock bottom and his life hangs by a thread, Mark comes across an unlikely friend and mentor whose clock is running out. The being opts to use the remainder of his time in a progressive manner and teaches Mark the ropes of Starship Engineering. Between the confusion of the memories of two lives and equipped with the lessons of Ship Engineering, Mark will come to discover that the only way to achieve true freedom in this corporate-ridden universe is to join the rot, and To Conquer The Stars. *** What to Expect: - 2500-4000+ words Chapters - 1 Chapter Tuesdays and Fridays - Slow Burn - Primary focus in Technology and Exploration, but Action will become more frequent as time passes - A more "grounded" sci-fi experience that will slowly loosen its chains - An MC that doesn't let things slide - Eventual army building (Not as of yet) - Corporations Advanced Chapters on my Patreon https://www.patreon.com/cw/Crimson_Reapr This novel is also available on RoyalRoad, Wattpad, and Scribble Hub (Under the Handle of Ghostly_Immortal)

In 2025, Eshaan Vikram Shresth is an archaeology professor at the New Nalanda University - brilliant, overlooked, and quietly consumed by a love of civilizations that died before the world could appreciate them. When he follows a hidden alignment in the ruins of the original Nalanda into a subterranean sanctum, he stumbles upon a secret the world has kept for over two millennia. The Nine Unknown Men, the legendary society founded by Emperor Ashoka the Great after the Kalinga War, are real. They have kept their vigil across centuries, guarding nine books of knowledge so dangerous that no single era could be trusted with them. And one of those books - the Ninth, has been waiting. For him. The Quill of Sociogenesis, dark and iridescent and impossibly alive, does not ask Eshaan's permission. It chose him. And next thing Eshaan knew, he is ten years old, frail, suffering from a disease and lying in a clerk's house in Pataliputra and the year is 1178 CE. He carries two things into this new life: the accumulated knowledge of a modern historian who has spent his career studying exactly what went wrong with India, and the mark of a cosmic mandate written in his own flesh. He knows the invasions coming. He knows the betrayals, the fractures, the missed chances. He has read every book, studied every empire that rose and fell in this soil. Now he will build the one that doesn't. Disclaimer - This Novel series is an Isekai medieval India historical fiction. I don't wish to hurt anyone's feelings and would like to trace an alternative history for Indian Subcontinent, exploring the possibilities if the events unfolded in a different way.

The legendary Field Marshal Ferdinand, the Iron Guardian and embodiment of valor, believed his tale ended when he sacrificed himself to repel the final calamity and protect humanity’s last spark of hope. He was no chosen champion of fate — only a man who struck harder and endured longer than anyone else, carrying the burden of the Garden of Eve on his shoulders. "With this... my duty has finally come to an end. O World, my final salutations to you." Yet fate defied him. Instead of death, Ferdinand awakens in the fragile body of a young boy named Kurian. At first, he longs to take life slowly, to savor this second chance in peace. Yet, even when this new world seemed calm, harsh truths came crashing down to remind him that Solaris III is no paradise. Ravaged by the great catastrophe known as The Lament, its laws of nature are fractured, spawning anomalies and granting many the powers of Resonators. But Ferdinand is no Resonator. Though stripped of power, he does not waver. For he has never been a stranger to struggle. If survival demands it, he will once again strike harder, endure longer, and fight more fiercely than anyone else. Because he is not a beginner to this concept. Now bearing the mantle of a mercenary rather than the soldier he once was, Kurian — the Iron Hound — unsheathes his weapon, ready to face the chaos. "Those who rise in the hour of battle, wielding courage over fear, are truly mighty."

Love isn't just a word. It means something that can't be explained by words. But still, it can be think of as a thread, an invisible one, which connect to person who are destined to be together. And as the time passes, the thread becomes smaller,making the both of them closer and closer until they become together forever.

The year is 2026. A devout Christian named Arthur Bennett wins a lottery to participate in a virtual reality experience at a high-tech company called Elysium.

Upon entering this new world, he discovers an unsettling truth: if he dies in this world, he dies for real. Arthur eventually finds himself trapped in prison, unable to log out, and demanding to be released from the program. Calls go unanswered, and things become nightmarish, where hunger, thirst, hygiene, and even death are all real. Angered that he was deceived, he abandons all sense of logic and vows to become a villain no one had ever seen coming.

Lin Qingyu transmigrates into a cultivation novel—not as the protagonist, but as a minor side character destined to die early. Given no overpowered cultivation system, no heaven-defying talent, and no desire for glory, Lin Qingyu does the only thing he can: stay calm, survive, and live quietly. Unfortunately, his calm becomes contagious. Equipped with the Emotional Stability System, Lin Qingyu begins to change the fate of the world—not by fighting, but by listening, supporting, and refusing to let tragedy spiral out of control. As the original hero Shen Yuanxing walks the path of sword and destiny, Lin Qingyu becomes the unseen pillar that keeps everything from collapsing. A cultivation novel about emotional strength, quiet resilience, slow-burn romance, and surviving in a world obsessed with greatness.

[A/N: No smut. Moderate pacing, with a slight lean toward fast pacing to keep the story sharp and avoid dragging. Romance is secondary] ___ I transmigrated into a slow-paced action romance fantasy novel. You know the type. A naïve, righteous protagonist with a growing harem, invasive creatures to slaughter, a God to kill, and a guaranteed happy ending. And then there was the Mob villain. The jealous, exiled half-brother who goes full psycho, challenges the protagonist… and gets killed by his own fiancée. Yeah. That villain was me, Caelir Vayne. But everything changed when I awakened SSS class and three op skills. Cloning. Copy. Fusion. “…Wait. Isn’t this a little too overpowered?” But something’s wrong. Why isn’t the plot following the story? Why are events spiraling out of control? And worst of all… Why is my fiancée, the girl who killed me in the original story, now staring at me like I’m the only thing that exists? Hold on. They have a word for this kind of behavior. “…Don’t tell me... she’s a yandere?” ------------ Updates: 12 chapters per week. 1 chapter on Wednesday and Saturday, while 2 chapters on other days. ...

“National High School Football Championship!” “Saitama Prefecture Selection Finals!” “Ichinan vs. Matsukaze Kokuo!” “Please give a warm welcome to the players from both teams!” As the commentator’s voice faded into the stadium’s roar, two lines of young men in football uniforms emerged from the tunnel. . . . ---- Ryosuke Kira—who was supposed to be eliminated and expelled in the original Blue Lock story—has been transmigrated by a football-loving Blue Lock manga fan.

Nicholas awakens as the eldest of four brothers, reborn into a harsh and unfamiliar world. He soon learns that fate has bound them together for a singular purpose. The four brothers become the first riders to claim the original dragon eggs, the living fire that will ignite the rise of Valyria. What begins as survival on a rocky and overlooked peninsula becomes something far more deliberate. Nicholas, driven by memory, instinct, and a quiet sense of inevitability, guides his brothers as they learn to fly, to rule, and to shape the land beneath them. Read as Nicholas and his brothers carve order from chaos, taming dragons that answer only to strength and will. They reform their small peninsula through fire, labour, and vision, forging laws, cities, and bloodlines where there was once only stone and goats. Each victory binds the brothers closer, even as ambition and destiny test their loyalty. From the first flight to the first conquest, their choices ripple outward, laying the foundations of an empire that will dominate the known world. This is the story of beginnings. It follows the rise of Valyria not as legend, but as lived history, shaped by brotherhood, dragons, and the relentless pursuit of power.

“Kindness built upon others’ suffering is the most hypocritical kind of kindness.” — Uzumaki Kushina ——— A bloodstained Uchiha boy walked toward the main gate, carrying three human heads. All three heads wore masks, their faces impossible to identify. This boy was Rengoku, rushing back from Kusagakure after being rescued by Muku and Ryuzetsu. He traded a single piece of intel for a special rapid treatment. He never dared stop, not even to change clothes, heading straight back to Konoha. When he reached the village gate, gatekeepers Kamizuki Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu stepped up immediately to confirm his identity. “Uchiha Rengoku, mission in Kusagakure.” While flipping through the file in his hand, Hagane Kotetsu gave the heads a quick look. “Did something unexpected happen?” ——— “Looks like I made it in time.” Hearing the clan meeting had just ended, Rengoku finally let out a breath of relief. He had been rushing nonstop, didn’t even change clothes, and managed to make it back before the night of the clan extermination. The Uchiha clan meeting had wrapped up already. Konoha had learned from Itachi about the Uchiha coup plan. Danzo had likely already ordered Itachi to wipe out the clan. Itachi was probably contacting Tobi these past few days, preparing to move. But now that he’d made it back, there was still a chance to gamble. ——— For Rengoku, this was only the beginning. As long as he protected the Uchiha clan, its members would become his endless source of chakra. The rise of the Uchiha was the road to his own power. He would one day become the god of the Uchiha. And even, the GOD OF THIS WORLD. (It is being continued from Chapter 336. To read previous chapters, search the name.) ═❀IT'S A TL❀═ RAW:

"Rosse... huh..." Rosse stared blankly at the boy in the mirror, momentarily at a loss for words. The boy in the mirror had a smooth and fair face, well-defined features, exuding a sense of cold and stern aura. His deep, dark eyes shimmered with captivating light, and his whole body radiated a noble temperament. He had transmigrated, or perhaps it was memory awakening, and directly became a Celestial Dragon. ’This is just, way too good!’ However, his identity was a bit awkward. His name was Jaygarcia Rosse, a standard Celestial Dragon name, and his grandfather was Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the current Five Elders, and also the first Five Elder to be removed in the original One Piece. ——— [Ding!

“Son, never sleep with a married woman.” That was my father’s final advice, right after being stabbed by a jealous husband of a married woman he slept with. I took his words to heart but fate was a bitch and I got bombed by a stupid fucker who thought I slept with his wife. Now, I’ve transmigrated into a flop fantasy novel my best friend wrote, the same one which I “improved” by butchering it into a game as a background character. Rael Von Ashborn. An Extra who was going to die in a few days because he somehow kissed the Duchess of the Empire. Now, I got two options: Unlock a powerful class... Or die at the hands of a psychopathic duke with a god-tier skill set. But naturally, fate decided to screw me over again. [YOU HAVE AWAKENED: JESTER CLASS] A joke of a class. Oh and did I mention my maid’s a gorilla? Right. Welcome to my hell.

Recently, a special correspondent conducted an exclusive interview with Pei Qian, President of Tengda Group. Tengda Group, now valued at hundreds of billions, operates across various sectors such as gaming, internet services, digital hardware, cultural media, and restaurants, significantly impacting numerous aspects of daily life.

However, during the interview, Pei Qian expressed deep frustration: “I’m truly not some kind of business genius!” “My success is entirely due to luck!” “My initial goal was merely to lose fifty thousand yuan…” See? This is exactly how a genuine business genius maintains humility and modesty.
