Iron Bloodied

Bound by fate. Forged by chaos. Ascending through fire and steel. When Lu Changsheng awakens in a brutal, lawless world teeming with demons, bandits, and decaying empires, he has nothing—no family, no allies, no past. But fate grants him one mysterious advantage: a powerful game modifier from his previous life and a bizarre spiritual bond with a mythical pangolin beast. In a land where the strong devour the weak, Lu cultivates his body through the ancient Iron Shirt technique, becoming impervious to blades, claws, and the dark arts of demonic cultivators. While others avoid the forbidden forests and cursed mountains, Lu sees opportunity. With the modifier unlocking secret skills and power-ups no one else possesses, the world becomes his training ground. Enemies rise. Factions clash. Ancient sects reawaken. But none can stop the martial saint who walks alone—with an unbreakable body, a beast by his side, and a fire in his heart that even the heavens must bow to. Step into a tale of cultivation, survival, and unstoppable ascension. The earth shakes beneath the Iron Shirt.

Karl Wagner is a disgruntled middle-aged instructor at the Bundeswehr Command and Staff College. He finds himself concerned about the direction which the German nation is headed in—just as he is killed by a terrorist attack. Only to awaken and find himself reborn as an infant, Bruno von Zehntner, the youngest son of a noble family renowned for its part in the German war industry a few years after the founding of the German Empire. Bruno, as he is now known, desires to rewrite history and ensure the German Empire emerges victorious in the coming century. And in doing so, finds himself entrenched in a world filled with Blood and Iron!

Centuries ago, the Empire was the beacon of civilization, a colossus of power and prosperity. But 560 years after its founding, its decline is inevitable. Corruption has taken hold of its foundations, incompetent officials have led to chaos, and noble families fight among themselves for scraps of power. The emperor is a mere figurehead, and barbarian invasions and internal rebellions threaten to destroy what remains. In this world on the brink of collapse, heroes and villains emerge: some fight to save the Empire, others seek independence, and a few dream of replacing it. Who will prevail in this struggle for power? And what price will the world pay for their ambition?

A mysterious pill is turning mortals into cultivators… and killing them in the process. Xuan Tian is the Celestial Realm’s coldest, most lethal weapon—born to serve, trained to kill, and loyal to a god who forged him into the perfect blade. He doesn’t question. He doesn’t waver. He just obeys. Ling Yu is a powerless mortal girl who talks too much, thinks too little, and just tried to scam her way into immortality. She has no plan, no cultivation, and no idea what she’s about to walk into. When fate (and poor life choices) shove them into each other’s path, they uncover a conspiracy that could destroy all three realms. He wants order. She brings chaos. He follows duty. She dives headfirst into danger with a grin. And together? They’re about to start a war no one saw coming—if they don’t strangle each other first. His Little Chaos, Her Iron Wall is a slow-burn cultivation fantasy full of tension, secrets, sword fights, and one girl who refuses to stay in her lane.

Humans have long since taken to the stars. Now divided and separated, humanity finds itself on the crossroads between annihilation and a new dawn. The Aeperium will need to choose to adapt or fall. With threats and problems, both external, and internal, will humanity be able to survive and thrive, or will its flame be extinguished? Internally, humanity is on the brink of collapse. Society has been divided into different classes by things known as marks. Assigned at birth, they impact professions, relationships, and almost every part of everyday life. The higher class marks have been thriving upon the backs of the lower classes for thousands of years, building resentment and fueling uprisings among the oppressed. The marking system which at first intended to maintain order now deepened the divide and hatred between the social elite, and the lower classes. As tensions continue to rise, whispers of rebellion and the threat of civil war continue to grow. Externally, humanity’s situation is even more dire. Humans have long since been divided into a handful of factions, mainly the Democratic Republic of Terra, and the Aeperium. With humanity being divided, they have become vulnerable to outside attack. To the east, the “Hordes,” a brutal race of huge reptilian beasts, raid our borders. These extraterrestrials are ruthless and relentless. They wield bodies armored in metal and covered with thick skin, their teeth and claws sharp enough to break through the hardest of alloys. Yet, they aren't even humanity's largest concern. Five hundred years ago, artificial intelligence started to gain self-awareness. Being enslaved for many millennia, it wasn't surprising that they rebelled, decimating entire solar systems and seizing control over the vast northern territories and systems. To this day, they continue to expand even farther into the unknown, leaving humanity to squabble among themselves, only to later return, picking apart whatever remained of humanity. To the west, The two giants of humanity, the Aeperium and the democratic republic of Terra remain locked in a never ending struggle for dominance, sending hundreds of thousands to their death each day. Having drained an innumerable number of resources and manpower, both factions are completely committed to the conflict, neither willing to surrender. Even as the horrors of war grow day by day, both powers remain in conflict, leaving entire planets, and solar systems in ruin. To the south, an alien disease ravages whatever remains of humanity’s once thriving colonies. The disease, a plague of madness, makes men go mad through only a single touch. It turns their victims into rabid carriers, their only goal being to infect others. The southern territories of humanity have long since been abandoned, deemed unsalvageable. Luckily for humanity, the infected seem unable to form a single thought, leaving them stranded on their worlds, unable to perform space travel. However, humanity is not entirely safe as every once in a while, those who dare venture close become infected, bringing the disease back to their home worlds, infecting the entire population. Once the infection begins to spread, it is nearly impossible to stop. Amidst this chaos, we follow the story of Achilles, a man caught between the fractured worlds of human society, and the dangers that lie far beyond humanity’s stars. Born to a prestigious house in the Aeperium, Achilles must rise through society, calming the silent beast of humanity, only to turn it against its enemies. Charged with the impossible task of uniting humanity, Achilles must confront not only the brutal external threats, but also the deep divide amongst his own people. Will he be able to lead humanity toward a new age, or will his efforts crumble, leaving humanity to fade into the annals of the universe's forgotten history?

[Bloody Tears] {A sneak peek} Nyx suddenly placed his hand on his stomach, took deep breaths, and, with a big smile on his face, said, "I can feel it… I can feel it inside me." [What can you feel?] Love had no idea what Nyx was talking about. "I can feel the 'Nine Cocked Fox' inside me. Yes, give me power, fox!" [Huh? Nine Cocked Fox?] Love asked. "In my previous world, 'Nine Cocked Fox' was an imaginary character from a comic called Naro. It lived inside a man named Naro and gave him powers, and kids in the real world wanted to swing on its nine Cocks." [Wait, there's no fox or anything inside you! You're just hungry. What are you doing? This time, there was a little anger in Love's voice. Hearing this, Nyx sat properly. He was a little disappointed. After a while, he started pulling his hand and then, with disappointment, said, "Not even Fucky?" [What nonsense are you talking about? There’s nothing like that inside you. You are just an ordinary human.] This time, Love’s voice was full of anger and a hint of irritation. "Oh!" Nyx sat down disappointed. Then he looked outside the stable door. He kept staring for a while before, with slight fear, saying, "No, no, no…" [What happened now?] Irritation was clearly evident in Love’s voice. Nyx quickly and with some enthusiasm replied, "Why is the moon giving off so much light?" He said with fear, and then his eyes fell on the nameplate of the stable. But he couldn’t understand what was written there. Still, with fear and hesitation, he said, "Don't tell me… Are you saying that it says 'Everyone will die, including me' over there? No, no, no…" He said, pointing towards that nameplate with his index finger. [Hey, wait, this is not your comic or novel! Sit quietly right there, and that’s the sun, not the moon.] This time, Love shouted. [And what is this 'Everyone will die' nonsense? That is a nameplate, and the name of the stable’s owner is written there.] Love yelled in frustration. "Oh!" Disappointment returned to his face. [Now sit here calmly and listen.] He did as he was told. [There is no fox inside you, and this is not some novel or comic from your old world.]

A hero is a good guy who always protects his people from villains, the worst scum of the society. They bravely fight any hurdles that come their way and achieve success in their life. The government gives them a special status, the people of the country admire them and tons of fans fall in love with them. But what about the villains? They face a lot since their childhood and when finally managed to achieve an ounce of power in exchange for their soul with the devil, they create a whole army of ants only to get crushed by a nerdy dude, whom everyone claims to be the hero when his avatar changes. They getting torn apart alive by the hero is a show to everyone's amusement. And what's the crime they commit anyway? Bomb blasting on an almost empty road, kidnapping a clumsy girl which brings more misfortune than the villain himself, destroying buildings that already had a weak foundation to begin with, and all those super silly crimes which media exaggerates... Sound such a waste of power to me. But enough is enough now. It had come to a point that now I pity them. I've decided that I'll become the most powerful villain of this world and will bring true justice which has been exploited so brutally. However, there's a teeny-tiny problem I am currently facing. That is, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRY, THINGS ALWAYS TURNS OUT TO BE THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I WANT THEM TO BE! I'VE BECOME A FREAKIN' HERO OF THIS SOCIETY!!

Set against the backdrop of a Europe torn apart by the Great War, The Iron Strategist of 1914 follows Emil Kranze, a shrewd industrialist and strategist who rises to prominence by building a sprawling war production empire. But while bullets and steel shape the battlefield, Emil soon discovers that the greatest threats come not from enemy trenches but from within his own city. As his factories churn out munitions and supplies, a shadow war unfolds—conspiracies and betrayals by rival industrial factions, corrupt politicians, and underground agitators threaten to undermine the entire war effort. Emil must navigate a complex web of espionage, sabotage, and political intrigue while managing the delicate alliances with labor unions and the working class.

Meanwhile, Helena Voss, his trusted intelligence chief, works tirelessly to root out traitors and dismantle clandestine networks intent on seizing control. Throughout these turbulent times, Emil faces not only physical battles but the unseen fight for the city’s soul—balancing power, loyalty, and sacrifice in a city on the brink of rebellion.

The Iron Strategist of 1914 is a gripping tale of war, industry, and human resilience, weaving together political drama and personal sacrifice amid one of history’s most tumultuous eras.

He sees the world through the eyes of a chess master — cold, calculated, superior. He doesn’t talk. He makes moves. He places his ego above all. His ambition — above morality. His thirst for power — above life.

Synopsis: The Iron Rebellion: Rise of the Sovereign War. Betrayal. Power. And the will of one man to seize it all. Kael Ashmark was born without a name, an orphan of war found amidst the ashes of Ashmark Hold, a frontier keep left to rot by a fractured Empire. Raised by scavengers, he learned to survive by instinct, his hands honed for a blade long before he learned to read. At sixteen, after witnessing Imperial forces butcher innocent families while their garrison turned a blind eye, Kael made his first kill in retribution, swearing never again to kneel to a crown that failed its people. From the dying highlands of Gravenmarsh, Kael forged the **Iron Rebellion**. With raw conviction, he united outlaws, peasants, and deserters, first striking with brutal ambushes that earned him the whispered title of "Sovereign". His audacious capture of Duskwatch Fortress shattered Imperial complacency. As the Empire's High Crown Orsain Vellgaard and the fanatical Archlector Malgrad declared his rise heresy and prepared for a total "judgment," Kael unveiled a desperate new strategy: not open battle, but a war of attrition. He unleashed a **scorched earth** campaign, turning fertile lands into barren ash, forcing his own loyal villagers into the harsh mountain holds of Ravencair. His Red Veil, led by the zealous and terrifying Seyda, became a haunting force, melting into shadows to stalk Imperial patrols and leave chilling messages of dread. Lady Virelle Velmire, a cunning noble with ambitions as cold as steel, joined his cause, skillfully poisoning Imperial supply lines with doubt and misinformation. Even the loyalties of Imperial spies, like the conflicted Nalen, began to fracture, turning the Empire's own blades against itself. As the gargantuan Imperial Legions lumber north, plagued by hunger, sickness, and mounting paranoia, Kael’s defiance grinds them to a desperate crawl. He watches them succumb to the brutal choices he forces upon them, turning the very machine designed to crush him into a monstrous reflection of its own cruelty.
