Scholar

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

Benjamin was a simple bookstore clerk, a young dreamer lost in the pages of fantasy—until one night, fantasy became real. A quantum shift, a ripple in the unknown, and suddenly he found himself in Khial, a world unlike any he had ever imagined. A world where the very fabric of reality is shaped by Laws, not rules, but patterns of existence woven by those who can perceive them. Here, the Sages are more than scholars—they are forces of nature, bending the world to their will. And beyond the surface, in the shadows of history, a war wages unseen, where those who understand the Laws fight for power, survival, and something far older than the world itself. Benjamin, however, is different. He has no connection to the world. His soul does not resonate with its Laws, making him an anomaly—a ghost in a reality that should reject him. But he has something else. He can absorb knowledge, not just learn but internalize entire histories, combat styles, strategies, languages. It should have made him powerful. Instead, it made him a target. His journey to find his place in Khial led him to the Academy of Sages, where he trained to survive. But the more he learned, the more he saw that power was never as simple as strength. He forged bonds, crossed paths with warriors and schemers, and found himself entangled in a conflict far greater than he understood. A single mistake sent him tumbling into the depths of the Black Flame, the shadow empire controlling the world from beneath its surface. Enslaved, broken, forgotten, he is forced to claw his way back from the bottom. He will rise—not as a hero, but as something else. His path will take him beyond this world, across vast empires and ancient ruins, toward a final reckoning with Malachros, the entity that should have never existed—the first Itharim to break free from the Maker’s will. But before that, Benjamin must do the impossible: Escape. Survive. Become more than what this world allows.

An Imperial Scholar by day. An assassin by night. The World of Cultivation has changed. Elemental Mancers. Flux Mancers. Spirit Mancers. Soul Mancers. Raining down fire and splitting oceans. Destroying mountains with a single stomp and calming skies with a glance. Controlling the tides of Karma, while wielding the souls of others like a puppeteer tugging on the Lines of Fate. The most mysterious of them all were Spirit Mancers, a truth that Theron was more than intimately familiar with. Due to one's Tribulation, his life was turned upside down. His family, his rage, his somber sadness becoming nothing more than Bad Karma's fuel for a madman. He was once a gentle young man, a non-combative Water Mancer who wanted nothing more than to read his novels to the sound of the rain and one day become an Imperial Scholar. But now... Everything had changed. He donned a cloak in the silent night as the clouds above gathered. Pulling its hood over his chilling blue eyes, he stalked off into the darkness. The first droplets fell. He would become the nightmare of his enemies, the blade hidden in the shadows of Heaven's tears. The River of the Night.

In a world where cultivation shapes the Celestial Continent, who can unravel the truth behind a forgotten queen? Shrouded in whispers of betrayal and erasure, what forces conspired to erase Layla al-Zahira’s legacy—and why does Emperor Jinhai alone remember her reign? Awakening as Meilin Wuye, heir to the crumbling Silver Lotus Sect, Layla finds herself reborn into the same world she once ruled. Yet everything has changed: her kingdom is gone, her contributions erased from history, and her name reduced to nothing more than a fragile shell. Haunted by fragmented memories of her past life—a glorious yet tragic era marked by triumphs and failures—Layla must navigate the delicate balance between rebuilding her sect and confronting the shadows of her own erased legacy. But this time, she is not alone. Enter Atlas Ryland, the enigmatic merchant whose trading empire thrives on secrets and manipulation. Bound by contracts and mutual survival, Atlas becomes both ally and wildcard, his actions rippling across the empire as he challenges Emperor Jinhai’s iron grip on trade and power. Meanwhile, Emery Voss, a brilliant scholar-engineer obsessed with pushing humanity beyond its limits, partners with Zafira al-Rahim, a vengeful revolutionary driven by the ghosts of oppression. Together, they uncover traces of Layla’s unfinished inventions—artifacts of a forgotten age—and repurpose them for war. But as Emery grapples with the ethical implications of their work, she begins to question whether these relics will bring salvation or destruction. As Layla delves deeper into the mystery of her death and erasure, a lurking evil, ancient and patient, stirs in the depths of this world—an entity tied to the very fabric of reality itself. This is the story of "The Forgotten Queen" and her broken paths.

Only the strongest endure. In this realm of cultivation, beast spirits, and alchemy, two figures rise—Marcus Dante, a warrior fueled by vengeance, and Ethan Clark, a scholar pushing the limits of science and cultivation. One fights for retribution, the other for progress, but in the Immortal’s Gamble, only those who adapt will survive. As ancient forces awaken, war looms, and rival factions prepare for conquest, the Immortal’s Gamble enters its most crucial stage. Will strength alone decide fate, or will knowledge and innovation tip the scales? A war of cultivation, where souls and beasts intertwine. Alchemy, innovation, and battle-tested warriors shaping the future. Two paths, one gamble, and a fate that cannot be denied. The dice have been cast. This is the Immortal’s Gamble.

They lived in harmonious and loving companionship for three years, during which her husband achieved the rank of top scholar. But while the husband's fame rose, his wife's status did not. His craving for titles and wealth led him to seek the position as Prince Consort, and he saw her as a stumbling stone on his path to marrying the princess—so he killed his wife and wiped out his line. The arrogant princess stood in front of her ruins and mocked, "Even if you are exceptionally beautiful and learned, you are ultimately just a lowly official's daughter.

The well-off little salted fish transmigrated to a poor era, where her grandparents valued boys over girls, leading to a miserable life for their granddaughters. Fortunately, her dad, though lazy, slippery, and illogical, shamelessly relying on his parents and taking advantage of his siblings, was protective of his daughters. Her drama queen mother, who was lazy but liked to eat, often tried to coax food off of her, yet she always left a portion for her. There was also the Scholar Tyrant System that pressured her every day to strive for progress, capable of using high-tech to hunt and allowing her to eat meat!! It wasn't until her cousin from her second uncle's family changed drastically after nearly drowning that Jiang Mianmian realized she was in a reborn female protagonist novel of that era, and her family of three was destined to meet a tragic end as reprehensible relatives. However, Jiang Mianmian, who knew the plot well, was fully capable of avoiding the tragic deaths of her parents and was not afraid of the seemingly strong but actually hollow protagonist. Her only worry was the powerful ally backing the protagonist. Then she discovered that the protagonist’s powerful ally was none other than the beautiful young man her father had rescued from the icy river last month! So Jiang Mianmian was completely reassured. With this life-saving favor, the young man would definitely not side with the protagonist against her family in the future. Moreover, Dashan took the initiative and said, "Little Lamb, I’d like to court you with the intent of getting a marriage license, is that okay?" As someone obsessed with good looks, Jiang Mianmian struggled and then reluctantly refused, “No, I plan to have a son-in-law who will marry into the family.” The powerful ally didn’t hesitate, “Then I’ll be the son-in-law who marries into the family, and the children will take the Jiang surname!” Jiang Mianmian: “Let’s go, get the marriage license!” (Updated and posted at 10:10 AM on the 16th of this month)

Scholar System, Business System, Confucian Saint System, Oracle System, Bald System, Ancestor System, Myriad Realms System… This is a world overflowing with systems! In this world, everyone can awaken a system of their own! Everyone can cheat their way to the peak of life! However, Xiang Beifei was utterly confused, “Why do all you locals have system cheats while I, as a transmigrator, don’t have one?” Soon, he realized— Not having a system cheat was actually the biggest cheat of all!

Tan Rou only learned that she wasn’t the Tan family’s daughter when she was seventeen years old. She went from being a rich young lady to living in the slums. The parents she adored belonged to someone else, and this series of knockdowns was hard for a seventeen-year-old girl to accept. She wailed like a child for the sake of proving this was all a lie. The vicious words she spouted had hurt her biological family but she didn’t notice. She thought the Tan family was her real family despite them seeing her as an eyesore, and was even naive enough to want to befriend the Tan family’s real daughter, Tan Jing. Alas, the latter drugged her drink and arrange for a thug to rape her. Tan Jing even brought their classmates along to catch them in the act so Tan Rou was now tainted for life. After being reborn, she looked down at the man she was stepping on. Tan Rou swore not to be a useless wretch in this life or be bullied to death. She would stomp on those who wronged her and make it up to her real family. They wouldn’t have had to die tragically on the streets in the past life had it not been for her. Tan Rou turned completely evil after crawling back out of Hell. Everyone claimed that the real young lady was educated and talented, while the fake young lady was arrogant and incompetent. Tan Rou scoffed upon hearing this. She held back her brother from trying to stand up for her. “We have all the time in the world. Let’s just wait and see.” Just as everyone was waiting for Tan Rou to make a fool of herself… A top-class perfumer, a top scholar, a world champion… The fake young lady’s multiple identities kept getting exposed one after another, bumping her up to number one on the trending search, shocking the world. Wait, where was the promised humiliation?

For over ten thousand years, humanity has evolved beyond its Earthly origins, adapting to a world where strength is everything. With Elite Bodies, enhanced physical and mental abilities, and mastery over energy, power is the ultimate currency. But power alone is not enough—strict laws govern energy users, and an unbreakable system controls how far one can rise. The world is ruled by eight Elders, each overseeing a massive continent. Beneath them, prestigious Academies train future warriors, scholars, and strategists. The most renowned of them all, the Elite Gifters Academy, is where only the strongest and most talented individuals rise above the rest. But graduation is just the beginning—every energy user must serve a faction, whether in government, military, private organizations, or the shadows. Independence is forbidden; those who refuse to align are hunted. While order is maintained on the surface, beneath lies a world of hidden conflict. The Energy Regulation Bureau (ERB) enforces control with an iron grip, ensuring no energy user steps beyond the boundaries of power. Yet, opposition exists—the Triad, a secretive organization, believes humanity was never meant to be bound by limitations. To them, these laws are unnatural shackles placed upon mankind, and they seek to break them at any cost. The war between control and freedom is not fought openly. It takes place in the shadows, in secret battles, through political games, and through those who seek power for their own reasons. Among them are belief systems that shape the world—some accept energy limitations as necessary, others see them as a curse to be broken, and some dream of ascending to godhood itself. But in a world where power is everything, destiny is not written by prophecy, but by those strong enough to take it. The next generation of warriors is rising, caught between duty, ambition, and forces far greater than themselves. Will they uphold the system? Break it? Or carve their own path? This is an era of power, faith, and war—where the battle for the future is already being fought in the shadows.

When a scholar finds out about a deadly plot to use an experimental spell on the royal bloodlines, she’s murdered; but death is just the beginning.

Aris Thorne, the greatest mind of the interstellar era, falls victim to a sinister scheme and meets an untimely death. But death is not the end. He awakens in a cruel new world, a land ruled by wizards and warlocks who see power as the only truth. Here, morality is a weakness, kindness a death sentence, and mercy an invitation to be devoured. The wizards of this world are not just scholars of the arcane; they are conquerors, manipulators, and devourers of secrets, with ambitions stretching far beyond their own lands. Reborn with his mutated AI chip, Aris must navigate this treacherous world where betrayal is expected, the strong dictate reality, and the weak are erased. In a land where even the laws of existence can be rewritten, he will carve his own path, one of knowledge, power, and the relentless pursuit of the ultimate truth.

Ezra Lockwood, a disgraced journalist turned detective, receives a letter from a missing scholar, Dr. Alistair Crowne, hinting at a discovery that "should never be found." Investigating leads him into a web of missing persons, a secret book, and an unknown entity watching from the shadows.

America, 1980. No sooner had Xu Yi transmigrated than he was put on the dissection table; then he gradually came to understand the true nature of this world. "Studying medicine can't exorcise undead demons; I must become an exorcist!" he resolved silently to himself. On a misty, rain-soaked night. "Miss Evil Spirit over there, the night is cold and damp; be careful not to catch a chill! Come over here and warm yourself by the fire!" Xu Yi said, holding a lighter, as the pale gold flame slowly approached the other. The Evil Spirit shrank back, looking at Xu Yi with fear. "Don't be afraid, I just want to warm you up..." Xu Yi's face broke into a warm smile, "by setting you on fire!" Ding dong! Ding dong! "Sign-in at the Land of Fear successful, Resurrection Coin awarded!" "Synthesis pathway requirements met, do you wish to combine the following entries?" Psychic + Scholar + Painter = Psychic Painter! Saintly Offspring + Gunfight Technique + Revolver Mastery = Holy Gunslinger! Undead + Revelation + Holy Nation = God!

In the pursuit of wealth and land, cultivation was actually a very expensive luxury activity. Having unintentionally received the legacy of the legendary cultivator, alchemist, and medical scholar Ge Hong, the simple mountain man Ge Dongxu began to earnestly make money. While most people were still in high school, he had already started to earn money for his alchemy and cultivation as he studied. While most college students were worried about the expenses of having a girlfriend, he had already become a boss. When most college graduates were busy sending out resumes in search of a job, and rich second-generation kids were showing off sports cars in front of beauties, he had already become a super-rich heir, and of course, a supreme medical saint hidden in plain sight.

Chu Nanli, the noble Goddess of Chu Kingdom, revered and worshipped by thousands. She concealed her identity and married into a foreign land, all for Ye Yunting's once spoken words, "In this life, this young master will only have eyes for you." After the marriage, she diligently served him, cooking and washing for him, but he betrayed her, despised her, and let his servants oppress and humiliate her.

I traversed back to 1370, to Lübeck, a city in Germany. Lacking the expertise of a scientist, I could not bring the steam engine or industrialization to life. Instead, I took the scholar's route, establishing the Federal Reserve, just for the fun of it. The Hanseatic League, guilds, clubs, The Three-Body Problem, stock exchanges, futures contracts, stocks, paper currency, Napoleon's artillery tactics... these are the gifts the protagonist offers to the ancients. This novel revolves around the ultimate goal of establishing the Federal Reserve, with the creation of paper currency and credit as the central mission. Each plot is steeped in business warfare and profit-making, filled with numerous case studies of commercial conflict that demand careful thought from the reader. Be forewarned, this book is intellectually stimulating—dare to take the challenge. In The Three-Body Problem(A 2008 novel by the Chinese hard science fiction author Liu Cixin ), the Dark Forest theory suggests that resources are finite, yet the expansion of civilizations knows no bounds. The protagonist also assists his brother in rising from a mere baron to the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

In the shattered reflection of AuE—Imbragea—truth is spoken in errors, and answers whisper through paradoxes. When Y’z Yaggdrasil, the cosmic lattice binding existence, is severed, reality fractures into a labyrinth of shifting perceptions. Time loops unpredictably, memories rewrite themselves, and the laws of nature obey contradictions rather than constants. A scholar cursed with paradox sight, sees the world both as it was and as it never could be. Drawn into Imbragea’s chaotic depths, he searches for the remnants of Y’z Yaggdrasil, hoping to undo the severance. But the deeper he ventures, the more he questions if unity was ever the natural state of existence—or if fragmentation was the inevitable truth all along.

But as the boundaries between self and shadow blur, one question remains: If Imbragea is only a reflection, what was it meant to reflect?
