Ligthning Degree

I was just a 21-year-old college student pursuing an engineering degree, and like any other person my age, I hoped to secure a placement in a large company to support my family. However my life turned upside down the day when I, along with my friends, decided to go on a trip to the hills. The peaceful trip turned into our worst nightmare when a wounded, unknown man attacked us out of nowhere. That man was illogically strong, even with the injuries, and nearly killed all of us. But to save my friend, I grabbed him and jumped off the edge of the hill. I should have died there, but a strange holographic window appeared in front of me, declaring that I carried a unique bloodline and teleported me to an unknown world. I needed to survive in this unknown world and find out the answers—why I was still alive, why I was teleported here, and how I could return to Earth. But the more I traveled this unknown world ,the more I got tangled in its affairs, and I realized my bloodline wasn't as simple as it seemed.

The dust thrown into the atmosphere by the impact obscured the sky and plunged the world into an Ice Age that would last for hundreds of years without sunlight. Because of the lack of sunlight, Earth's surface had fallen to extreme cold temperatures down to tens of degrees below zero. Facing impending doom, Chen Xin was left with a shelter that he built underground and an upgrade system he found. How would he survive the crisis? Could human civilization prevail? Would the embers of hope be enough to illuminate the cold night and bring warmth to mankind? Destiny had brought forward a harsh trial. Could human beings avoid sharing the same fate as those of the dinosaurs that were extinct?

[Female Lead: Little Princess of the Cat Demon Clan] "Get off of me," the man's voice carried a hint of helplessness and restraint.

A talentless youth enters the world of immortal cultivation, what awaits him on this path? Heaven only gifts it's chosen few while all others strive to survive. This is the story of a boy with no powerful bloodline, family, system, nor teacher. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~§~§~§~~§~§~§~~§§~~§~§~§~§~§~~~~§~§~~§~~ What to expect? This is my beginner level Xianxia, that is to say from everything i've read this is what I consider cultivation. As such we will set up everything from the very bottom, and we will delve into topics of cultivation until my brain fries. At first we will take it slow for like 20 ish chapters, after that we will pick up the pace as we have our first real conflict. No systems as that is not my cup of tea, they are fun but remove all tension in a story. No special bloodline, like we need to be able to identify to this person to a degree and humans simply aren't that special. We will start from the VERY bottom, so if you aren't in it for the long haul I wouldn't recommend reading further. Now, my writing isn't perfect, I am not some english teacher, I am just someone that overread and now I can't see myself just reading anymore. If you like my story, please support me via comments or whatever this site uses.

Having traveled to the year 1983, Lu Jiaxin found herself at the start facing the failure of the original host in a high school exam, a stepmother who was sweet on the outside but dark-hearted, and a purely self-interested father. Designer Lu, facing a hellish start, decided: if her stepmother made a move, she'd countermove tenfold! If her father failed to act like a human, she'd teach him how to! She still intended to continue college; she heard that the degrees from Hong Kong University in the '80s were quite valuable, so she flung her sleeves and bravely explored the financial and business circles of Hong Kong. Bulky mobile phones, beepers, "007" on the dance floor! Victoria Mountain, Shallow Bay, female tycoons of Victoria!

In a world where swords and sorcery dictate the progression and stability of the world, Xerxes finds himself torn from it after taking a quest to a devastating place exempt from the natural laws he had grown accustomed to. Within this strange world, he discovers a scope of truth behind the mysteries, and a degree of power beyond what was known. This served as a catalyst, making him question the world he has come to know and love, in order to fight for the world he wants to protect.

Prince Aerion of House Valor was never meant to be a headline. As one of the world’s rare male Omegas—and the center of a scandal that nearly toppled the monarchy—he was hidden away behind palace walls and silenced by the weight of tradition. The public forgot him. His family did too. But solitude shaped Aerion into something far stronger than anyone anticipated: fiercely intelligent, emotionally guarded, and quietly ambitious. While the world assumed he was delicate, he was earning degrees in economics, mastering martial arts, and waiting for the moment he'd finally take control of his own life. That moment never comes on his terms. When political tensions threaten to destabilize the monarchy, King Theron—Zenith’s reigning Alpha, and Aerion’s estranged cousin by law—is forced to marry for the sake of the crown. He agrees, expecting a pliant Omega who’ll fulfill ceremonial duties and provide a politically advantageous heir. What he doesn’t expect is Aerion: sharp-tongued, emotionally armored, and absolutely unwilling to be anyone’s pawn. Their first meeting is a clash of worlds—Theron, all control and calculation; Aerion, all fire and frost. To the press, they’re a fairytale reborn. Behind palace doors, they’re anything but. Resentments simmer. Power shifts. And underneath the arguments and awkward silences, something electric begins to build—desire, and maybe even the beginnings of trust. But nothing stays private in a royal court. As anti-Omega factions and conservative power-players plot to remove Aerion from the line of succession, the couple must decide if their reluctant union can survive the pressure—or transform into something real. Theron, once immovable in his ideals, must confront the uncomfortable truth: the Omega he once underestimated may be the kingdom’s greatest asset. And Aerion, for all his walls, must choose whether love is a risk worth taking—especially when carrying a royal heir could mean becoming even more of a target. The Abandoned One is a story of legacy, autonomy, and the tension between love and duty in a modern monarchy. It’s about two men redefining what it means to rule, to belong, and to be strong—in their own way, on their own term

Lui Ming died at 26. Not tragically heroic. Not beautifully poetic. Just… dead. A car accident, a blank expression, and no last words. Born with alexithymia, Lui Ming never quite figured out emotions—his or anyone else’s. Smiling at funerals? Accidentally. Crying during sitcoms? Never happened. Doctors called him emotionally detached. His aunt called him “a misunderstood sweetie.” Strangers just called security. But heaven, in its infinite sarcasm, gave him a second chance. Waking up in a cultivation world where people fly on swords and explode from spicy qi, Lui Ming finds himself in the body of a disgraced young noble—abandoned by his family, hated by the servants, and gifted with severe OCD. The original owner was one tantrum away from being assassinated. And Lui Ming, who just wanted to take naps in peace, realizes something quickly: He has no plot armor. No golden finger. No system. Just his medical degree, a blank face, and tea cups that must be aligned. To survive, he needs to cling to a powerful golden thigh. But there’s just one tiny issue. He has no idea how to blend in.

The world was cruel..... Especially for those who had lost their chances to shine. Aether was one of them.... Born with a golden spoon... yet, he was cast aside like a defective product. He longed for love, for warmth—but all he received was pain. Yet, he smiled, not because he wanted to, but because he had no other choice. With nothing but a broken heart and a hollow laugh, he stepped into the hell called society. "Can't you do a single thing right?!" "…Heh" "You're fired!!!" "…W-Wh…He" "I'm sorry, sir, but you need at least a bachelor's degree to apply." "…I-I am…Heh" "We can’t approve a loan without collateral." "…W-Why?" "Your father’s a politician, right? So, you know…" "…" The so-called society didn't welcome him very well... Yet, He pressed forward! After years of struggle, he finally secured a job—only to be reminded of his place. "Yeah, yeah… I know you got the job thanks to me. So don’t ever contact me or MY parents again," his brother sneered. "...Heh..." And just when he thought he had finally earned a sliver of recognition— "HONK!! HONK!!" Fate was merciless. A split second, a cruel twist, and his already miserable life came to an abrupt end. Yet, as the darkness closed in, he screamed into the void— “I JUST WANT TO LIVE!!!!!” A will that even the universe listened. !~Ding~! Reborn into a new world, Aether thought he had finally been given the chance to truly live. But instead of peace, he found himself in yet another struggle—not just to survive, but against something even more dangerous… Seduction!! Not just any seduction… but a mission to seduce and save the most unattainable women in existence! Seducing the Princess of an Empire! Seducing the Hero’s Mother! Seducing the Villain’s Wife?! ..... ... .. And the list only kept growing… He, a Mere slave, seduces them all.... WHAT KIND OF F## UP LIFE WAS THIS?!! But it wasn’t OVER—far from it.... These women… were even worse!! One wrong move, one careless mistake… and his life could be erased from existence! One thing became painfully clear—if he ever wanted to survive in this hellish world, there was only one path forward. He had to seduce them all. _________________ Release Schedule:- 2 Chapters Every Day! But wait—there’s more! Want extra chapters? Your support makes it happen!

Five years ago, everything shattered. An accident. A baby. A goodbye with no turning back. She vanished from the world she once knew, pregnant and alone. No degree. No future. Just her, a secondhand car, and a daughter who calls her “mama” between cheap takeout meals and midnight Didi runs. By day, she's invisible. By night, she drives circles around a city that’s too big for broken dreams. She’s used to passengers coming and going, until he gets in her car. The man she once loved. The father of her child. But she doesn’t recognize him. And he? He never forgot her. That man is Kellan Elliott, young CEO of the elite Elliott Group. Cold, untouchable, and far too late. When fate throws Rachel and Kellan back into the same orbit, things don’t explode. They simmer. Kellan doesn’t know the truth. Rachel doesn’t want his pity. And caught in the middle is a little girl who keeps calling the stranger in the suit “Daddy.” But uncovering the truth could break all of them apart... or finally bring them the family they never got to be. This is a secret baby story. One person. One city. One car. One beloved. I’ve driven every road in this city. Will you ever find your way back to me?

"I Became the God of Velmoryn" If you were given the power of a god, what would you do? I didn’t get the luxury of choosing. One moment, I was a nobody, just a freelance web developer with a failed law degree and a cat who barely tolerated me. Next, I woke up floating in the void, staring at a glowing blue screen that told me I was now a god. A weak, insignificant one, sure, but a god nonetheless. No instructions. No divine wisdom. Just me, a barren status window, and an empty faith with no followers. The first thing I did? I destroyed the last statue of the god who came before me. If I was going to be a god, I needed worshippers and what better way to start than with a little divine intervention? Now, I have a broken and lost tribe looking for answers, a system I don't even know how works, and a world that probably won’t take kindly to a new deity on the rise. But if the gods of this world think I’m just another nobody, they’re in for a surprise. I don’t plan on being insignificant forever. What to expect: - 2,000+ Words per Chapter - Selfish, Calculative MC - 1st Person POV - Not a Very Slow Progression - Gods & Intricate Power System - Unique Worldbuilding with Various Races & Monsters - Adventure Elements like Dungeons & Exploration - Side Characters with Real Motives - No Harem - Images to Enhance the Reading Experience

Takashi Arata is the golden boy of his high school—handsome, brilliant, admired by peers and teachers alike. But behind the perfect mask lies a deep loneliness, a quiet yearning for something real in a world of expectations and superficial praise. That world shifts when Mizuki Ayane, a calm and mysterious university student, steps into his classroom as the new part-time homeroom teacher. At twenty-two, Mizuki is focused on finishing her degree and staying professional in her role. But Takashi’s quiet intensity, hidden vulnerability, and subtle acts of kindness begin to pierce through her carefully maintained boundaries. As stolen glances turn into late-night conversations and emotional walls begin to crumble, the two find themselves caught in a bond they were never supposed to share. Whispers Beyond the Desk is a slow-burning, emotionally resonant romance that explores the blurred lines between admiration and affection, duty and desire. Over twelve volumes and fifty chapters, Takashi and Mizuki navigate the risks of their forbidden connection, the toll of social expectations, and the painful distance between wanting and waiting. As seasons change and years pass, their feelings never fade—only deepen in silence. But can love survive in the shadows, or must it wait for the light? This is a story of two hearts, one classroom, and the quiet moments that echo the loudest.

Lancelot Haier came from a dynasty of politicians who had ruled with tyranny and oppression. Despite those origins, he despised his family and was willing to help the citizens who had long suffered under their rule. However—before he even had the chance to change his country, the people revolted. His entire family was executed, and he was killed along with them. In his final moments, he wished for a second life—one where he could redeem himself and carry the sins of his bloodline. Unexpectedly, that wish was granted. He was reincarnated into another world as the crown prince of the Kingdom of Aragon. But in this world, everything felt backward. The country was ruled by an absolute monarch. Feudalism was the norm. Technology resembled that of the late 1700s. Fortunately, in his past life, he had earned degrees in both mechanical engineering and political science—knowledge he once hoped to use to reform his homeland. Now, it seemed he would use them here instead. He would use his modern knowledge to transform the lives of his people, industrialize his territory, gain the upper hand in technology, and form alliances with foreign nations—all while navigating the treacherous waters of internal affairs and politics. P.S While Reincarnated as the Crown Prince draws inspiration from historical settings, political systems, and technologies of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, this work is entirely fictional. All characters, governments, names, and events—although some may resemble real-world history—are products of the author’s imagination or are used in a fictionalized, altered form for narrative purposes. This novel is not a historical account. It should not be interpreted as a factual representation of any real monarch, nation, revolution, or political figure. Lancelot Haier, his backstory, and the alternate version of different kingdoms portrayed here are entirely original creations. The inclusion of familiar concepts like feudalism, industrialization, and political reform serves the plot and world-building, not historical documentation. Readers seeking accuracy in history are encouraged to consult verified academic sources. This story is a creative work meant for entertainment, character development, and speculative exploration of “what-if” scenarios rooted in alternate history. Thank you for reading, and I hope you will enjoy the journey.

The setting for this fantasy is an Earth governed by machines, with humans relegated to a slave race. The story assumes that, as there are degrees of intelligence, there are degrees of consciousness, and the only true and complete consciousness is of the type generated by a human mind. A giant robot with a human brain, a boy destined for greatness, and three former resistance heroes join together to fight the tyrannical rule of intelligent machines on Earth. The machines are too powerful to defeat in battle, but 'The Tribus,' mystical entities who inhabit an isolated plateau high up in the Andes mountains, offer a way for humans to escape their subjugation.. The story is set two thousand years in the future, when it is known that we inhabit a multiverse with various alternative realities and time zones. AI is intent on the future colonisation of the entire universe, and biological entities are either destroyed or enslaved as menials. The Tribus believe that machines have no divine right to rule in a universe born of mind but have previously refused to advocate violence in the defence of consciousness. They now know that AI and humans can never co-exist, and it must be an evolutionary battle to the death to decide the dominant species.

In a world defined by the "Skills" granted by the enigmatic Earth, young Keal faces the sting of public ridicule. His assigned ability, "Echo Step," appears to be nothing more than a cruel joke—a power that simply makes his footsteps echo. Yet, where others see only a mockery of a skill, Keal's unconventional family sees a hidden universe of potential.

One morning he was getting ready for an interview in the local company who were hiring freshers, he felt someone hit him on his head before losing consciousness, what he didn't know then was all the people in the world also lost consciousness simultaneously within seconds. When Jim reopened his eyes again, he was sleeping on a hard iron bed fixed to the floor. The room he was in was 10 sq meters built like an iron cage with no windows but just a door on the other side of the room. Just opposite to the bed there was an iron table with multiple drawers which was also welded to the floor making the already cramped room narrower for walking. Jim wobbly woke up from the bed and tried opening the door and found it was locked, and he couldn't open it. Apprehensive about the circumstances he began shouting with fright so someone could hear his voice and open the door for him, but he didn't get any reply. After shouting for an hour, he got tired and sat on the sliding chair fixed to the table next to the bed. Only now he saw a laptop present on the table which was also embedded in it. As soon as he opened the laptop it started immediately, and words started appearing on it. Find out what did Jim see on the screen and his journey

For months, Ellie and her mother had been planning their escape from House Gennan, choosing the day before a lavish party for their attempt at freedom when the attentive eyes of servants, guards, and their relatives were all on making sure the debut of House Gennan's challenger went smoothly.

Unbeknownst to Ellie, this event would soon lead to the awakening of her lineage, throwing her life into turmoil and forcing her to become an active participant in the grand scheme of things. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Here are some other things you should know: 1. There won't be a harem (or in the case of this novel, a reverse-harem). The novel is also heavily inspired by R.I., S.S., and The Poppy War. 2. The best I can do is 2 to 3 chapter per weeks since I'm currently working two jobs and a very important degree. 3. I'll keep it free to read so if you like what you see, you can support me through power stones and feedbacks. There is also a Patreon link if you want to donate and help me have more time to write.

[ MATURE CONTENT ] "Craig," she whispered, breath shivering, "please…" It didn't matter what she was asking for…more, less, everything. The plea alone made them press hard against each other, like their bodies were trying to make up for all the time they'd been apart, like they could consume each other if they touched harder. And still, she ached. For all of him. And he did too. She could tell by the way his grip on her thighs tightened, his fingers digging into her skin like he was holding on for dear life. His breath warm and uneven against her neck, as her hips rolled again, slower this time, more deliberate. Then he groaned, head falling to her shoulder as his body pressed in, hard and hungry. "Shit," he whispered, voice ragged. "Merlina," And just like that, his mouth was gone. She blinked, dazed, lips swollen, skin tingling everywhere he'd touched. He stepped back, slow and heavy with restraint, hands gripping the edge of the sink on either side of her, like he needed to hold something that wasn't her. Her voice came out in a whisper. "Why'd you stop?" His eyes met hers, dark and wrecked. But then, he smirked. "Not with your siblings next door." She stared, barely able to think. He leaned in like he might kiss her again, then stopped just short, brushing his thumb over swollen bottom lip, "PG-13 remember?"

In his old world, Elric had nothing—no powerful family, no elite degree, just relentless hard work and a passion for healing. Dismissed as a third-rate doctor, he shocked the nation by saving a congressman’s life and becoming an overnight celebrity. But just when his career was rising, tragedy struck. Now, Elric opens his eyes in a world unlike any he’s ever known—a land of swords, sorcery, and strange beliefs. Reborn in the countryside of a magical kingdom, where even a common cold is blamed on spirits, he’s the only one who understands how the human body truly works. With no palace, no power, and no one to trust, Elric sets up a humble clinic in a rural village. Armed with science and sarcasm, he treats the sick, challenges ancient traditions, and slowly earns the awe and fear of a world ruled by magic. Mocked as a fraud. Hunted by rival healers. Feared by nobles and mages alike. But this world is about to learn— Even a third-rate doctor can change history.
