Shrewd

In a universe where transmigrators twirl like puppets on a celestial stage, Nael Supremium rises as an enigma—a force the gods hesitate to name. His soul, an abyss that swallows reality itself, lies bound, sealed alongside his essence, to restrain a body barely capable of containing such vastness. A Supreme Nephilim, born from the collision of divine and demonic realms, he wields a power so immense that the golden grasp of transmigrators crumbles like sandcastles in his presence. Yet Nael is not unscathed. He bleeds, stumbles, and carries the dark echoes of a blazing past—a third of the Earth reduced to ashes by his own hand. His oath, though unspoken, stands unwavering: no one will bend him. Challenge him, and the silence of the void will be your only answer. Hidden among mortals by Celestia Supremium, the sovereign of Space-Time and Light, he conceals the Giver’s Physique—a gift that transforms intimacy into divine strength, yet to him, it is nothing but a burden. Disguised as a failure beneath the piercing gaze of Elowen, the cryptic Mother of Fates, Nael dwells in obscurity while his sister, Anael Supremium, spins schemes that threaten to fracture entire worlds. Kaelan, a shrewd half-breed who wields emotions like a blade, remains his sole tether of trust. But for how long? The Giver’s Physique draws insatiable gods, and the NTRaders—vultures who prey on others’ bonds—circle like a relentless scourge, while Nael’s past murmurs truths he longs to bury. He seeks neither salvation nor ruin. His struggle is to cage the monster he once was. But if cornered, he will reveal that even hell pales in sanctity beside him. The Rise to the Absolute weaves a saga of power and redemption, where each step Nael takes might either exalt the cosmos or plunge it into shadow. “A god? A demon? A myth? Or a Supremium! Beware what you desire.” — Nael Supremium

A young doctor felt exhausted by the hospital environment, the pressure from patients, time constraints, and the endless cycle of studying and exams. Finally, he made a bold decision: to return to a remote village and work as a doctor there, away from all that stress. In this monotonous life, there was only one thing that managed to ease his sadness a little. It was a small novel that a patient had given him. Unexpectedly, an unforeseen accident caused him to reincarnate as a minor character in that very novel. “Hahaha… At last, I can escape from that dull world!” "Now I'll use this knowledge to seize all the treasures and secrets meant for the main character... enough for me to live a peaceful and luxurious life in this world." ... "Wait, something’s wrong." "It seems the novel I read was just a poorly made copy of this world.” Everything was a surprise when the knowledge he possessed turned out to be a poorly replicated, predictable version, while the real world was the complete opposite. Here, the main character was decisive, shrewd, ruthless, killing without a second thought. The side characters were constantly entangled in cycles of killing and scheming. Not to mention, the fate of this damned world seemed to be like two sides of the same coin.

{Information revealed!} {These are the benefits!!} {Do you wish to steal its skills and powers?} "What the hell is this?!" Aaron, barely a year old but possessing the intellect and cunning of a seasoned adult, stared in wide-eyed astonishment at the world around him. Before his very eyes, information panels, glowing with an ethereal light, materialized, detailing every aspect of whatever he gazed upon. From the intricate root systems of the ancient trees in the Forest of Flesh Eaters to the composition of the mud hut that served as his current home, nothing was beyond the scrutiny of his newly discovered ability. Even the roughspun blanket clutched in his tiny hands revealed its origins, its thread count, and the type of fibers used in its creation. {Do you wish to steal the artifact's Ability?} The question, presented in stark, bold text within one of the information panels, made Aaron smile. It was a knowing, almost predatory smile, utterly incongruous on the face of a baby. "I don't know what this is," he murmured, his voice a soft gurgle that belied the complex thoughts swirling in his mind. "But that doesn't mean I can't utilize it… With these eyes… I'll be the youngest Emperor in all Three Continents!!" Aaron was not a typical infant. He was a man of thirty, reborn. Not for the first time, either. This was his fifth reincarnation, and in each of his previous lives, he had clawed his way to the pinnacle of power. He had been a General, leading armies to glorious victories and carving out a vast empire. He had been a President, shaping the destiny of nations with shrewd political maneuvering and unwavering resolve. He had been the Young Master of a powerful, influential family, a name whispered with a mixture of awe and fear, a force to be reckoned with in the cutthroat world of noble politics. He had even been a Renowned Scientist, his brilliance pushing the boundaries of human knowledge, culminating in the creation of the first youth-preserving drug, a discovery that had both revolutionized medicine and made him a legend. Now, Aaron found himself reborn as the Cursed Child, the harbinger of death and destruction, the subject of fearful prophecies that had driven his own mother into hiding. "Can you believe that?!" he gurgled, the irony of his situation not lost on him. He, who had striven for power in every lifetime, was now branded as a destroyer before he could even crawl. Will Aaron leverage his vast experience and hard-won skills to defy the prophecy and forge his own destiny, or will he succumb to the ominous predictions and become the Cursed Child the world so desperately feared?

The girl gave a sudden cry of protest. The leader of the beggars had caught her arm and, as she reached out for her dagger, the second man caught her free arm and twisted it up and away from her belt....... Authur sighed and quickly turned throwing back his cloak and drew his sword from where it was hanging behind his left shoulder. Producing weapons from under their rag clothes, the band of four beggars turned to deal with the newcomer. Authur sent the first man sprawling in the dust with a shrewd blow from his sword, as a dagger was raised to strike him. The second beggar had a cudgel, and as he slashed at Authur, he found himself facing an incredibly long sword, probably the longest he had seen in his life, snaking over the top of his hand to prick at his throat. The man howled, tripping over his feet in an effort to avoid the wicked looking sword. The third beggar attempted to come over from behind Authur, but Authur as if having eyes behind him quickly stepped to his right hand side, throwing his sword from his right hand to his left hand to meet the leader of the gang who himself had a wicked looking blade of his own also, which was sent flying at an incredibly fast speed from his hand. The leader howled and doubled over, clutching at his elbow. It was over.........

In the world of Tiamat, mortals are playthings for the gods—summoned to serve, survive, and entertain an unseen audience. Alain, an ordinary man from Earth, gets thrust into this world through an unexpected summoning, quickly stripped of his humanity and transformed into "Pebble," a brawny, low-intelligence character with a unique class called "The Battery." Tasked with walking a mysterious "Forest Path," Pebble quickly learns that his fate is being controlled by divine entities who act as his omniscient spectators, granting rewards, issuing tasks, and meddling with his every move. Pebble, with his new identity and peculiar skill set, teams up with an unlikely party of heroes: Phil, the eager snake-man rogue; Fred, the elderly wizard with unsteady but surprising powers; Bard, the charismatic musician; and Puffy, the foul-mouthed gnome who offers both guidance and exasperation.

Combining elements of dark humor, epic fantasy, and unpredictable divine interference, The Story of Pebble follows the adventures of a hero who never asked to be one, struggling to forge a path forward in a world where the line between game and reality is blurred—and where the gods are always watching.

Rudra was in the middle of his morning exercise, the rhythmic thud of his feet on the ground and the cool morning air clearing his mind. But his routine was abruptly interrupted by a sound that sent a chill down his spine—the piercing wail of the base siren. That siren only meant one thing: enemy jets were closing in on Indian airspace. Rudra was the first to engage the income Pakistani jets, locking onto an F-16. His MiG might have been old, but in his hands, it was deadly. His first missile found its mark, taking down one of the Pakistani jets. He quickly locked onto a second F-16, but this time, the enemy pilot deployed flares, deflecting the missile. As Rudra maneuvered for another strike, Captain Jorawar’s F-16 swooped in. Rudra managed to avoid the missile fired by Jorawar with a rapid maneuver, but the intense move took a toll on his aging MiG—his engine caught fire, and alarms began blaring in the cockpit. He ejected just in time, but disaster struck—his parachute caught fire, leaving him falling fast towards the earth. As Rudra fell, the cold wind whipping against his face, his life flashed before his eyes—not just the battles and the glory, but the regrets that weighed heavy on his heart. In those final moments, a thought gripped him: if somehow, by some miracle, I survive this... if I get another chance... I will live my life to the fullest. It wasn’t just about duty anymore; it was about making amends, about healing the wounds that time and circumstance had torn open. His mind turned to his foster family—the people who had taken him in after he lost his parents at the age of four. Commander Karanveer Batra, his father's friend, had raised him like his own son, alongside his own children. Yet, despite all the love they had given him, a distance had grown between them. The estrangement had left a scar on his mind, one that made him realize the difference between true blood and a foster family. The girl he had once loved, with all the intensity of a young heart, had ended up marrying his foster brother. She had become his sister-in-law, and Rudra had never dated anyone after that. The pain of that unrequited love had strained his relationship with his brother, and by extension, with his foster father and sister. He could still see his foster father's disappointed, pained face and his sister's helpless, sad eyes. If I survive... I’ll make things right, he vowed. I’ll repair those bonds, and I’ll create a family of my own—a family that I can truly call my own. As these thoughts filled his mind, a strange calm settled over him, and slowly, the world around him faded away. In the distance, the reinforcements from Jamnagar arrived, forcing Jorawar and his squadron to retreat. But for Rudra, the battle was over. What went unnoticed, however, was that Rudra's body had fallen onto the ancient steps of a Shiva temple, believed to be self-manifested. The temple stood silent and untouched, yet from within its depths, a thick, unnatural fog began to seep out, swirling with purpose as it crept closer to his still form—its intent unknown, its origin a mystery. Squadron Leader Rudra Pratap was born in 1992. At 32 years old, he had never married, dedicating his life to duty. And this seemed to be the end of his story... or perhaps, the beginning of something new. Follow Rudra on his journey as he defies fate, transforming from a patriotic soldier into a shrewd and calculating businessman. Watch as he not only reshapes his own life, but alters the balance of global power in his relentless pursuit of success. .................................................. #India 2 Chapters/Week

But before she could even achieve her goal, everything went down the drain as she decided not to fall victim into what...? A con-artist's trap?! "What a bull!" Thrown into a backward existence, she can only grit her teeth and pull a hankerchief in rage. Since she can't directly blame the gods, Bai Feiyin swear to get back with her so-called companion beast. "Argh! Y-you treacherous snake! I knew from the start that you couldn't be trusted! I should have roasted you when I saw you dying the first time we met, not signing that sham contract and work with you to ascend!" The anger in her system didn't subside. "You sent me back to my first life? For real? Wow, wow fantastic! What perfect shit!"  She specifically told him not in this life, that despicable man! "So you want to toy with me? Then be it! I will scour the mountains and hunt you down! I don't believe that I go back in time, you, my contracted beast won't go back as well," she uttered resolutely. Face beet red, burning in rage, she stared intently at the pigeon bloodstone inside her palms with a mark of a serpent's slitted eyes. "Those two other lives filled with war and bloodshed weren't lived in vain. Since you've sent me here, I will bury you along with those greedy pigs from the Bai Main Branch who owe me and my family four lifetimes' worth of debts!" Not long after she bemoaned, "Hmm, no hold on." Revealing a bit rather conflicted look, she tried to suppress her ire upon cooking up something like a shrewd mastermind. "On the second thought, just burying Hong with that regretfully good-looking face of his would be such a pity..." she pondered, but very soon snapped with glee. "Fine, it's a wrap! I will capture that little snake and work his ass like he did to me!" Bai Feiyin, looking like a greedy hyena, found her resolved with bright twinkling eyes that casted away the shadows under her swollen eyes. "Let's sell him off to some rich aunties and get lots of dowries!" *** This will include beastmen but in the form of spirit beasts. There's a hint of cultivation but just subtle that's why I didn't add it as a tag. Please support me thank you!

In the kingdom of Ustaria, power and ambition rule, and the throne is the ultimate prize. As the once-mighty King Harley Pennington succumbs to age and illness, the question of who will succeed him sets the royal family and noble houses into a spiraling conflict. Harley, a shrewd but frail monarch, clings desperately to his power, unable to choose between his children, each vying for the throne in their own way. His favoritism toward his reckless youngest son, Prince David, blinds him to the chaos he is creating, as the kingdom teeters on the edge of collapse. The eldest son, Prince Harris, is a seasoned warrior and natural leader, but his impulsive nature and reliance on brute strength make him a divisive figure at court. Princess Ruby, the youngest daughter, is beloved by the people for her intelligence and grace, yet she remains entangled in the webs of court intrigue, unwillingly used as a political pawn. Princess Lilliana, with her foreign ties and secret ambitions, hides her cunning behind a mask of loyalty, biding her time to make her own play for power. Meanwhile, Lord Hugo Wilde, a cunning and vengeful noble, plots in the shadows to usurp the Pennington dynasty. His son, Elliot Wilde, a charming yet calculating figure, is caught between his father’s ambition and his growing love for Princess Ruby. As their dangerous romance unfolds, Elliot becomes embroiled in the deadly game of thrones, balancing his loyalty to his father with the allure of true love. Within the royal court, alliances shift and betrayals simmer beneath the surface. The noble houses, restless and hungry for power, begin to align themselves with different heirs. Foreign nations bribe Ustaria’s nobility, stoking the flames of civil war, and the kingdom is soon caught in a storm of political machinations, secret affairs, and deadly rivalries. As King Harley’s grip on the throne loosens, the Pennington children—each with their own secrets, desires, and dark pasts—are thrust into a brutal contest for the crown. Old loyalties are shattered, and trust becomes a rare commodity. When the king finally falls, the battle for Ustaria’s future will begin, and the cost of the crown may be more than any of them can bear. In this tale of power, betrayal, and love, the true enemy may not be the one holding the sword, but the one holding your heart.

The Rogue wolves have long been seen to be the lowest of the lows. They are either booted out of their packs or left on their own free will. Rogues were nothing more than outcasts who were always cast aside by their society. They were never really a source of great danger, or so wolves thought. Every other wolf could encounter pales in comparison to Eligor Wylder Koen. He is exceptionally strong, shrewd, and cunning. He was overwhelmed with fury and recollections from his past, so he did exactly what he felt he had to do — He incited his kind's animosity against those at the top and led rogue groups to decimate the packs. Eligor is determined to destroy everybody who’d stand in his way, even if it meant the Heiress of the Leurunas. Asteria Lilith is the sole daughter of Alpha Declan, the man who commands the country’s second-most potent pack. The she-wolf is everything that a man could ever dream of.

They were never really meant to be a perfect fit… But the Moon Goddess seemed to have a different plan.
