Amanse

In a land where gods once walked and shadows now hunt, a forgotten boy awakens to a destiny carved in flame. Amanse has always been different. Stuttering, ridiculed, and abandoned as a child with no name and no past, he’s spent his life hiding in the cracks of the kingdom of Amaaku—just another ghost in a land unraveling. But when a whisper in the wind calls his name, and strange visions of burning skies and bleeding stars begin to haunt his dreams, Amanse finds himself drawn into something far greater than he can understand. The kingdom of Amaaku is dying. Besieged by cursed forests that breathe, ancient warrior clans hungry for blood, and oceans murmuring with the voices of the drowned, the realm teeters on the edge of chaos. But the true threat stirs deeper—older than kings, older than gods—a darkness buried beneath time itself. The gods, once silent, have begun to move. Some have chosen to watch. Others to fight. And a few… have chosen to break the very laws of heaven. Among them, the goddess Ala marks Amanse, not as a warrior or a king, but as something far more dangerous: a bridge between worlds, a spark meant to ignite an ancient fire. Thrown into the mythical Furnace of Gods, a realm between life and eternity, Amanse is trained by the Alusi—celestial beings with powers rooted in forgotten truths. There, he must face the trauma of his past, the betrayal that shattered his childhood, and the fire that has always lived within him, waiting to be named. But Amanse is not alone. Whispers tell of others—six chosen souls bound by fate: a warlock cursed by love, a seer tormented by what she cannot un-see, a child born with no shadow, a warrior who remembers dying, a goddess hiding in human skin, and a lost heir whose throne was stolen before his first breath. Together, their fates are tied to the bloodline of gods, and to a prophecy long buried under war and silence. As the skies begin to bleed and the sacred mountain Oke Nwanyi calls, Amanse must journey to reclaim his true name, unlock the fire within, and face a choice that could save or shatter the world. But the Darkness already knows who he is. And it's coming. Amanse: The Fire of Amaaku is the first installment in a sweeping epic fantasy rooted in rich Igbo mythology—where gods bleed, mortals rise, and destiny is not inherited, but earned in flame, faith, and fury.

Scorch.

A hundred years ago, the sun’s flames crept hotter and brighter until daylight became a furnace—mankind retreated into the night, and the world was claimed by shadow. In the silence of moonlit streets, water became worship, and three mighty prophets—Children of the Sun, Moon, and Stars—rose from ash to rule with fire-forged faith. No one knows if the Scorch was divine wrath or a cosmic accident, but for a century the faithful have burned heretics, torn nations apart, and lived by ritual “Purification” to prove their worth. Now, sixteen-year-old Ádin survives in a hidden bunker, trading scraps for scraps and precious drops of water. Marked by secret scars that only glow under his skin he lives with Fletcher, his mute golden retriever, and clings to the cryptic lullaby his grandmother left him. Out in the ruins roams Salvator Morgan, a man whose ageless eyes have seen the fall of empires and who whispers rumors of a “true child of prophecy.” When Ádin discovers the first fragment of a hidden map— he realizes he may hold the key to a long-lost salvation. But every step toward the truth draws the attention of the Children of the Stars, a fanatical cult whose young prophet will stop at nothing to claim destiny for himself. As the moon circles high and the ashes swirl, Ádin must decide: cling to everything he’s known, or embrace a perilous path that could either resurrect humanity… or consume him in the flames of betrayal. In a world where water is worship and every lie is branded in blood, survival means choosing whom to trust—and what you’re willing to burn.

Bonds: A Pack of Wolves

Michael’s world is turned upside down when his father brings him to a mysterious bunker located beneath one of his family's establishments. His heart was racing, his hands were shaking, and his eyes were wide. The only thought ruling over his mind, the only question that flooded his mind, was 'WHAT IS THIS PLACE?' He asked himself repeatedly. Each time he and his father walked ever deeper into the bunker, Michael would feel an insatiable urge to question his beloved father on why he had decided that they should explore this daunting bunker. But how could he satisfy this urge to this man, this man he loved yet equally feared, this man whose anger burned like a blazing furnace? Quietly Michael walked behind his father. Finally, they reached a massive doorway. Further inside was a massive hall estimated to host at least 300 people. When he, Michael, the young lad, gazed around the hall, and when his face turned to the left side, shockingly, he saw an empty seat, which looked like a throne. "Father, what is this?" Michael questioned, "And why does that seat look like a throne?" That's because it is,He his father answered. Michael answered with another question, "Whose?" He asked, and his father went towards the throne and replied, "Mine," as he sat. Michael could not describe the emotions racing within him at that moment, but just when he thought he couldn't be more terrified, Venite, servi me! His father shouted at least 3 times. After shouting, the hall was flooded with men wearing black combative gear clothing and covered with black masks. They all came and stood in a formation as if they were trained soldiers; after they had all lined up, they themselves began shouting, Rex Lupus! Dominus Lupus! They shouted these words, words that Michael could not understand, about five times. Michael's father then responded also in a tongue he could not understand, remaining in absolute terror. Michael stood quaking after his father was done speaking to the men. All the men turned their faces from his father to him, and they shouted aloud, Iuvenis Lupus! Iuvenis Lupus. His father stood from his chair. Let's go, my son, he said to Michael. 'Who are you?' The young lad asked himself, completely and utterly stunned.

Sovereign of Strings

In the weakest kingdom of Arcadia on the continent of Aerion, the acting head of the Mage Guild, Darius, receives Quentin Shaw, a mysterious elder Lute Magus from the Sanctum. Appointed as the new guild master, Quentin also seeks a successor. In Lunaria, Quentin encounters Maya Leaf holding her newborn son, Evan Young. The baby is born with only eight fingers (missing pinkies). Quentin sees this as a perfect trait for cultivating the Innocent Heart Core, the supreme lute magic technique, as pinkies are unused in playing. He follows Maya to the Emerald Canopy to meet the baby’s grandfather, Yale Leaf, head of the Bamboo Sect. Old friends Quentin and Yale negotiate. Quentin proposes taking Evan as his disciple to teach lute magic. His revolutionary idea is to combine the Innocent Heart Core with Bamboo Aura, creating an unprecedented fusion (“Lute-Bamboo Unity”) to potentially surpass Amethyst rank and challenge the Sanctum’s Seven Pagodas. Yale agrees after securing promises about the Five Sovereigns (legendary lutes) and Evan’s future role as heir to both sects, provided his primary identity remains with the Bamboo Sect until success. Evan grows up in seclusion within the Emerald Canopy. He befriends a silent, enigmatic purple-haired boy named Zander, who becomes his constant companion and audience. Under Quentin’s lute melodies and Yale’s aura guidance, Evan masters the Innocent Heart Core to its ninth tier. Sixteen years later, Evan, having perfected the Innocent Heart Core, prepares to leave for the distant Milan Institute per Quentin’s plan. Accompanied by Zander, he visits the Lunaria Mage Guild for documents and his Crimson mage badge. There, they confront Rufus, an Azure Archmage leading a delegation from Poland seeking to poach mages. Evan, wielding his lute’s mesmerizing power and the deadly Sonic Edge technique taught by Quentin, stuns everyone by effortlessly defeating Rufus and his five companions. While procuring supplies in Roll City, Evan’s kindness is exploited by a street urchin who steals his Spatial Ring containing the Five Sovereigns, funds, and his institute letter. Simultaneously, Zander spots a lion-man from the Northern Wastes, causing him visible distress. Zander decides he must leave Evan temporarily to handle urgent business. He gives Evan the map to Milan, promising to find him at the institute later. Stripped of his possessions and sole companion, Evan sets out alone on the uncertain journey northward, guided only by the map.

Grind-to-Cash System: Buy SSS Skills to Spam them Infinitely with Cash

"They Call Guys Like Me a Simp.” (Meanwhile, I’m out here living what their favorite MC only dreams about.) You ever notice how stories glorify the ones who feel nothing? The MC who never laughs. Never feels. Who plays women like chess pieces and calls it intelligence. He manipulates a girl? “He’s strategic.” He never opens up? “He’s mysterious.” He never flinches, never laughs, never lives — And you call that strength? Funny. Because to me? That’s just a prison in disguise. You see an “alpha.” I see a boy too scared to feel anything real. While they spend ten chapters monologuing about logic and sacrifice, I’m already making the Saintess scream, drenched in sin, halo cracked, legs trembling from truths her prayers never taught her. And I didn’t get there with cold eyes or control. I got there with laughter and chill. With warmth. With a grin and a hand on her thigh. I didn’t need to dominate her mind — I freed her heart. But that scares people, doesn’t it? Because readers trust the ones who suffer. Who stay quiet. Who kill without blinking and love without showing it. But me? I flirt. I laugh. I take hits and smile back, bloody and defiant, as if too weak to get angry. I don’t need to pretend emotions are weakness. I weaponize mine. Pleasure. Connection. Laughter. That’s my arsenal. And while your favorite MC is still calculating his next five moves, Trying to outwit death and romance like both are math problems, I’m already balls deep in the jade fairy — her sacred yin furnace clenching like it’s worshipping my shaft, her Dao Echo shattered into breathless moans, and her so-called cultivation path leaking down her thighs while she begs me to break her meridians again. You call that luck? Nah. That’s mastery of the three worlds. Because in a world that respects coldness, I came in hot. Where others manipulate, I connect. Where they posture, I play. Where they sacrifice, I seduce. So go ahead. Call me a simp. But while your genius MC is busy monologuing about destiny, I’m the one making goddesses question theirs — with a smirk, a touch, and no regrets. I’m not the hero. Not the villain. I’m just a simp… the kind who leaves your cold, emotionless MC’s woman dripping, ruined, and too stretched to go back to him.

Iron Ding Dominance

Engineer Lin Tianyu transmigrated to the Great Liang Dynasty and was reduced to a corvée laborer building the deadly dam. Using a bamboo pole to calculate the risk of dam failure, he leveraged geometry to set the gears of fate in motion. From improving looms and coking ovens to casting flintlock muskets, he transformed equations into power—crushing the monopoly of the powerful, taking charge of the royal workshop, and even using the salt production method as bait to lure and kill the Empress Dowager's partisans in the court. When the Di Rong iron cavalry breached the border, he drove a torrent of steel north to defend the emperor: water-powered forging hammers cast cannons that tore through cavalry, and standardized parts were assembled into mobile fortresses on the front lines. After being granted land and enfeoffment, the roar of the steam engine echoed through the new capital, and railways stretched like blood vessels towards enemy countries. The old nobles regarded him as the "Iron-Casting Sorcerer," but impoverished scholars followed him to establish schools of natural philosophy, engraving gunpowder recipes into the textbooks of schoolchildren. And the emperor on the dragon throne, who bestowed the marriage, never imagined that the gunner's quadrant personally calibrated by the orphaned girl Su Yingxue would ultimately measure the weight of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons. This industrial revolution, using carbon as its pen and the metallurgical furnace as its inkstone, is forging Great Liang into a giant cauldron spewing steam—and the one who controls the furnace will eventually hear the echo of steel striking the yellow bell.

Becoming a Prince in Ancient Times

The story unfolds in the **Great Shang Dynasty**, a fictional ancient Chinese empire rife with courtly conspiracies, warlord rivalries, and foreign threats. The dynasty was weakened by internal power struggles among princes and external pressures from neighboring nations like **Chu** and **the Turks. The protagonist, **Ye Ling**, a modern-day survivalist and influencer, dies during an expedition and reincarnates as the **Sixth Prince** of Shang—a notorious wastrel despised for his debauchery and political incompetence. However, his new identity holds a hidden advantage: he is the **sole legitimate heir** of the deceased empress, positioning him as a reluctant contender for the throne. --- ### **Opening Scene** **Time:** Early morning, fog-laden. **Key Event** Ye Ling awakens in a lavish palace bedchamber, disoriented by his transmigration. His confusion turns to panic when he discovers **Fu Yuanyuan**, the **First Prince’s betrothed** and the dynasty’s renowned scholar, lying beside him. The scandalous situation—engineered by political enemies—threatens to destroy both their reputations. Fu Yuanyuan, torn between fury and shame, becomes an unwilling ally as Ye Ling navigates the fallout, using his wit to deflect accusations and turn the tables against his foes. --- ### **Major Plot Points & Conflicts** #### **1. Power Struggles in the Imperial Court** - **Internal Conflict:** Ye Ling faces hostility from his half-brothers, particularly the **First Prince**, who views him as a threat to the throne. The court is divided between loyalists to the deceased empress and factions backing other princes. - **Key Scene:** At a state banquet, Ye Ling humiliates the **Chu Kingdom’s envoys** by solving an impossible riddle, saving Shang from ceding strategic territory. His victory earns Emperor Shang’s cautious approval but deepens his rivalry with the First Prince. #### **2. Modern Knowledge vs. Ancient Challenges** - **Technological Innovation:** Ye Ling leverages his survival skills and scientific knowledge to revolutionize Shang’s military. For example, he designs the **Mòdāo (陌刀)**, a legendary long-bladed weapon capable of decimating cavalry, and introduces **blast-furnace steelmaking** to arm the dynasty. - **Climactic Battle:** During a border clash with the Turks, Ye Ling’s modern tactics and weapons—including early gunpowder devices—secure a decisive victory, solidifying his reputation as a military genius. #### **4. The Climax: Rebellion and Redemption** - **Betrayal & Siege:** The First Prince allies with corrupt ministers and the Turks to stage a coup. Ye Ling, exiled to a frontier province, rallies marginalized factions—disgraced generals, peasant militias, and foreign allies—to reclaim the capital. - **Final Showdown:** In a brutal siege, Ye Ling’s **Liao Yuan Crossbow** and psychological warfare dismantle the First Prince’s forces. The emperor, recognizing Ye Ling’s prowess, names him crown prince but warns of the loneliness of power. --- ### **Ending** Ye Ling ascends the throne, marrying Fu Yuanyuan and Zhao Ling’er in a politically charged union. He reforms the bureaucracy, abolishes hereditary privileges, and launches naval expeditions to expand Shang’s influence, including a campaign against **pirates from the Eastern Isles (Japan)**. However, the story closes on a bittersweet note: Ye Ling’s modern morals clash with the ruthlessness required to rule, leaving him to ponder the cost of his ambition.
