Double Door

A child discovers a hidden door that leads him to...

Welcome to a world of swords, sorcery, and supreme identity crises. Kaen Vale was nobody. A pub-crawling barfly with more bruises than brain cells, he spent his days chasing cheap ale and losing bets to retired mercenaries. Life wasn’t perfect, but at least it wasn’t magical—until one day he opened his eyes and found himself wearing the crown, the robes, and the terrifying reputation of the world’s most feared tyrant: Rael Ithos, the Archmage King. There’s just one tiny problem: Kaen can’t cast a single spell. Waking up in the middle of an assassination attempt, Kaen barely dodges death by playing the world’s most outrageous bluff. With a talking cloak (Mimic) whispering fashion advice and ancient secrets in his ear, a suspiciously loyal commander watching his every move, and a sword-swinging heroine hell-bent on fulfilling a prophecy that ends with his decapitation, Kaen has exactly zero room to breathe. Or fail. To survive, he must master the deadliest court in the realm, fake magical genius, unravel cosmic conspiracies, and maybe—just maybe—become a better ruler than the tyrant he replaced. But with every choice, every lie, and every flash of Rael’s haunting memories clawing at the back of his mind, Kaen is starting to wonder: Was Rael truly a villain? And if Kaen wears the mask long enough... will he still be Kaen underneath? --- Prepare for: Court politics served with sarcasm and sabotage. A talking cloak with sass, secrets, and style. Enemies who flirt with their blades (and sometimes their hearts). Explosions. So many magical explosions Kaen definitely did not cause (okay, maybe a few). This is a tale of mistaken identity, reluctant heroism, and the absurd joy of bluffing your way through an apocalypse. It’s the kind of story where the protagonist doesn’t get a cheat system, the villain’s plan actually makes sense, and nobody’s getting overpowered because they ate a fruit, read a scroll, or tripped on a dragon bone. Fans of political fantasy, magical mysteries, and snarky underdogs with zero qualifications—this story is for you. Kaen Vale didn’t sign up to rule the world... ...but if the crown fits, fake it till the throne stops spinning. --- Tags: Fantasy, Action, Reincarnation, Kingdom Building, Magic School (sort of), Enemies-to-Reluctant-Allies, Secret Identity, No-Magic Main Character, Cloak with More Personality Than the MC, Final Boss Energy --- Perfect for readers who love: Overlord meets The Emperor’s New Groove Schemes that backfire in glorious, hilarious ways Magical girl-level transformations, but for tyrants Prophecies that need therapy Found families, reluctant friendships, and morally confused mages --- A refreshing change of pace from the usual “I died and became a god in three chapters” template. If you’re tired of protagonists collecting harems faster than they level up, or villains that turn good because the main character smiled at them once—welcome. Updates twice weekly. Bring snacks, lower expectations, and enjoy the ride.

Abigail Green, a genius doctor, unexpectedly succumbed to a sudden death due to overwork in the operating room. However, an astonishing twist of fate awaited her as she was reborn! She found herself reincarnated in a hospital ward all too familiar to her, but this time, in the body of a 200-pound expectant mother. A mother who endured the excruciating pain of a cesarean section without anesthesia until her last breath. How could Abigail possibly endure such a situation? Thus, she embarked on a journey of vengeance, weight loss, and, intriguingly, vying for the heart of the man desired by a spiteful woman. Mini Scene: "Have you caught wind of it? Brandon Piers, the powerful CEO, is about to get married due to an out-of-wedlock child!" "Who's the lucky woman?" "That hefty lass from the Green family who's weighing a staggering 200 pounds!" "Has Mr. Piers lost his marbles?" "Are rich young masters into fat girls these days?" Abigail Green asked the man beside her."Do you find me fat?" Brandon Piers replied with a smirk, "Not at all. You are just perfect."

This was a fragmented corner, a world forgotten. On that day, when he was most disheartened, Ning Cheng was forcibly brought here. Because of Ning Cheng, this corner would be renowned throughout the vast Starry Sky, and this world, thanks to Ning Cheng, would shine in the endless universe!

Most people don't choose reincarnation. Reincarnation finds their way to them. Perhaps they did something great in their life. Or maybe truck-sama wasn't looking where it was going. But without fail, those who reincarnate are destined for something great. A new life where everything changes for the better. But... Reincarnation isn't always the greatest thing. Sometimes you just draw the short end of the stick. Di Tou just happens to have drawn the shortest stick. Pulled out of his life randomly. Taken by a crazy old eccentric man not as a disciple, but as a body double?! And a janitor body double no less?! Grasping a system to find... It's a JANITOR SYSTEM!? Truly, how unlucky can one get?

Xiang Yu était parfaitement content de sa vie médiocre sur Terre—travail moyen, appartement moyen, tout moyen. Du moins, jusqu'à ce qu'il se réveille dans le légendaire Monde de la Cultivation, où les artistes martiaux volent dans le ciel et les immortels se battent pour des trésors anciens. Il y a juste un problème : Xiang Yu ne veut absolument AUCUNE de ces aventures. Armé seulement de son intelligence et d'un système particulier qui double son exp toutes les 24 heures, Xiang Yu a un seul objectif : devenir suffisamment puissant pour vivre en paix sans être impliqué dans ces situations "protagonistes" ridicules. Pas de tombes anciennes. Pas d'arcs de tournois. Et pour l'amour du ciel, restez LOIN de tout le monde portant le nom de Chen Mo, Lin Feng, ou Li Yao—ces noms crient pratiquement "personnage principal qui va me traîner dans des situations mortelles !" Commençant avec des statistiques de force si pathétiques qu'il peut à peine soulever un manuel de cultivation, Xiang Yu doit d'une manière ou d'une autre survivre assez longtemps pour que sa croissance exponentielle importe. Après tout, doubler son talent de cultivation égal à zéro reste égal à zéro... au début. Suivez Xiang Yu dans son voyage hilarant de zéro à héros alors qu'il tente désespérément de rester invisible pendant que sa puissance monte en flèche hors de tout contrôle ! Regardez-le esquiver les tournois de cultivation, éviter les anciens suspects portant des cadeaux et fuir dans l'autre sens dès que quelqu'un mentionne "héritage ancien" ou "élu". Rejoignez l'aventure du cultivateur le plus réticent de l'histoire dont le seul souhait est la paix et le calme, mais dont la croissance exponentielle fait de lui la force la plus terrifiante que ce monde de cultivation ait jamais vue !

A Tall Tale I wrote for an English assignment in third grade (I think?). Not my best work but I still like the concept; so I have now very lightly edited it to be, at minimum, readable.

What’s it like to fall in love with your brother’s best friend? Lilian never expected her quiet graduation season to take a sharp turn into a love story — one that had been quietly brewing for years. His name is Morrison. He’s her brother Dave’s best friend, the man who used to show up at family dinners a decade ago, the “uncle” she could never quite figure out when she was little. Now, he’s a powerful young CEO — cold, sharp, untouchable. Until one day, he suddenly says: “Why don’t we try dating?” From one late-night call, to a casual “I’ll pick you up after class.” From arranging her internship, to standing at her apartment door with a suitcase in hand — Lilian begins to realize: this relationship was never just a joke. But dating someone who’s not only her brother’s closest friend, but also her new boss and the school’s most eligible bachelor? This sweet, forbidden romance is already walking a tightrope. Will their secret love quietly blossom under pressure — Or will it be torn apart by reality, one identity at a time? *This novel is part of the same series as 《You're Just My Ex-Husband, My Lord.》

Xiang Yu was perfectly content with his mediocre life on Earth—average job, average apartment, average everything. That is, until he woke up in the legendary World of Cultivation, where martial artists fly through the skies and immortals battle over ancient treasures. There's just one problem: Xiang Yu wants absolutely NONE of that action. Armed with only his wits and a peculiar system that doubles his exp every 24 hours, Xiang Yu has one goal: become powerful enough to live in peace without getting involved in those ridiculous "protagonist" situations. No ancient tombs. No tournament arcs. And for heaven's sake, stay FAR away from anyone named Chen Mo, Lin Feng, or Li Yao—those names practically scream "main character who will drag me into deadly situations!" Starting with strength stats so pathetic he can barely lift a cultivation manual, Xiang Yu must somehow survive long enough for his exponential growth to matter. After all, doubling zero cultivation talent still equals zero... at first. Follow Xiang Yu on his hilarious journey from zero to hero as he desperately tries to stay invisible while his power skyrockets beyond control! Watch as he dodges cultivation tournaments, avoids suspicious elders bearing gifts, and runs the other way whenever someone mentions "ancient inheritance" or "chosen one." Join the adventure of the most reluctant cultivator in history whose only wish is peace and quiet, but whose exponential growth makes him the most terrifying force this cultivation world has ever seen! ————— Discord: https://discord.gg/UA679N6znA Wiki: https://infinite-awakening-my-exp-doubles-everyday.fandom.com/ Update = 2 Chapters Daily

My lips were tightly shut. My expression—blank. As if I didn’t understand the meaning behind his gaze, now sharper than ever. His fingers traced slowly along my jawline. The motion was calm. Measured. Too careful to be called affectionate. “So naive,” he whispered, barely audible. “Your breath... unchanged. Even your heartbeat is steady.” He leaned in. His lips brushed the skin beneath my ear—warm, but not seductive. A mere distraction. “These eyes... don’t lie. But they’re not completely honest either, are they?” His left hand slid to my back, tracing down my shoulder blades, then lower—to my waist. And stopped. Still. As if checking something. “Do you realize...” he continued, his voice soft yet piercing, “...of all the people who’ve seen my darkest side... you’re the only one who didn’t run.” I stayed silent. Just blinked once more, then gave a faint smile. “And why would I run?” My voice was light. Playful. I even let out a small laugh, more like a sigh. He didn’t laugh back. His gaze remained deep. His hand still touched my cheek—cold, scented with metal and leather. And then I... ...smiled. Genuinely. I leaned up slightly, raised his face gently with both hands, and kissed his cheek. The kiss left no mark, just a soft sound: chu — sweet, innocent. Almost like a child trying to show love. “Oh! You must be tired,” I said lightly. “I only made fish soup tonight, but the cuts are... kind of a mess.” I tugged gently at the hem of his shirt—playful, affectionate. Pulling him to hover directly over me. I slowly lay back on the bed, though my feet still touched the floor. My gaze never left him—looking up from the most vulnerable position. “But don’t ask why the cuts turned out so ugly,” I added with a small giggle. “Because earlier, the knife—” “The knife?” He interrupted. Flat voice. I nodded slowly, my eyes still bright. “Yeah, it’s so heavy! Where did you even buy it? Sharp, scary... but cool. Like... the kind used by a serial killer! Hehe~” For a few seconds, his expression shifted. Not angry. Not bothered. But... something changed. As if his mind had just collided with a memory that should’ve stayed locked away. Then, still calm, he said: “Don’t use that knife again. You could get hurt.” His fingers slipped into my hair—gentle, yet cold. “Tomorrow, I’ll give you a new one. Something that suits your hands better.” Then his lips lowered again. To my neck. At first, it tickled. But it quickly turned into something deeper than clumsy affection. Our breathing grew uneven. His body pressed heavily over mine, making the bed creak with every move.

Mei mengenal pria itu secara tidak sengaja; pria itu duduk di berseberangan dengannya di café saat Mei memesan vanilla milkshake kesukaannya. Saat pria itu mengajak Mei berbicara, sungguh, itu adalah pertama kalinya Mei melihat perwujudan dari prince charming yang sesungguhnya. Tutur katanya begitu sopan, gentle, berkelas, dan tertata. Pakaiannya rapi dan wajahnya tampan. Ia terlihat seperti bangsawan yang amat menghormati wanita. Sungguh pria idaman yang sempurna. Satu hal yang paling Mei ingat dari pria itu adalah rambutnya yang berwarna sama dengan matanya, yaitu berwarna merah. Namun, saat Mei semakin mengenal pria itu, Mei sadar bahwa kesempurnaan memang takkan pernah ada pada manusia. Ada sesuatu yang aneh pada pria itu. Keanehan itu Mei temukan karena pada suatu hari, Mei bertemu dengan pria itu yang mendadak sikapnya berbeda 180 derajat. Pria itu jauh lebih mengerikan, ucapannya tajam, dan yang paling aneh...matanya kini berbeda warna. Bukan hanya merah, melainkan heterochromia yang menyilaukan. Sosoknya masih sama, tetapi jiwanya terasa asing. Seolah-olah ada dua orang yang hidup dalam satu tubuh...atau... ...dua orang yang berbagi satu wajah? Dunia yang Mei masuki ternyata bukanlah dunia di mana pangeran berkuda putih adalah pemeran utamanya, ...melainkan dunia di mana penjahat adalah pemeran utamanya.

Wu Ping transmigrated to the cultivation world and became an outer sect disciple of the Demonic Dao sect, the Blood Rain Sect. He originally thought that with his aptitude, he would just live one day at a time. Who would have thought that there would be a double door in Wu Ping's sea of consciousness that led to the zombie world? What was even more ridiculous was that the zombies actually had living souls. After stabilizing their development, the zombies' corpses could be used to refine zombies. The blood could be used to cultivate the Blood Flame Technique. The living souls could be used to strengthen the Soul Refining Banner. The crystal cores could also be used to strengthen the body and awaken special abilities. The zombie world became Wu Ping's backyard for cultivating Demonic Dao techniques. [Eternal Demonic Azure Art: Condense half of the soul to form a tree. Nourish it with blood and corpses. The more nourishment it absorbs, the more powerful the Demonic Azure Tree will be, and the stronger the spiritual power it will receive will be.] Wu Ping directly planted the Demonic Azure Tree in the zombie world and used the zombies as nourishment. There were also all kinds of extremely terrifying Demonic Dao techniques that shone under Wu Ping's hands. The entire cultivation world trembled before him and called him a demon among demons. However, Wu Ping did not kill anyone. He only killed zombies. The group of righteous cultivators shouted, "Don't come over, Demon Immortal!"

He tried to move, but then he realized he had been bound to a tree with a rope. He immediately began to panic and tried wiggling from the grasp of the rope. “It wouldn’t budge, I made sure to tie it really hard.” He heard the voice of a lady, and then looked up in surprise. Standing before him was a lady who was covering her face with a veil. “Who… who are you? Are you the ghost everyone has been talking about?” The lady didn’t respond, and slowly removed the veil that was obstructing her face. Alexander subconsciously let out a gasp, and without thinking, he said, “What is a beauty like you doing in the middle of the forest?” **** Tags: Magic, Romance, Revenge, Mystery, Royalfamily, Fakeidentity, Comedy, and so much more.
