The Tyrant Wants To Be Good

In a world where strength reigns supreme, Ghaz'Rok, once the renowned surgeon Dr. Adrian Voss, finds himself reborn as a massive orc warrior—complete with reduced intelligence and a sarcastic Surgeon’s System in his head. Thrust into battle with nothing but raw instinct and fractured memories of modern medicine, Ghaz must navigate a brutal society where orcs live by the blade and view weakness as a death sentence. But when his injured brother, Druth’Roc, is cast out of their war-hungry tribe, Ghaz makes a fateful decision: to break tradition and forge his own path. From the bloodstained fields of war to the cutthroat alleys of Brethus City, Ghaz embarks on a journey to prove that an orc can be more than a mindless brute. As an adventurer, warrior, and reluctant healer, he battles monsters, rogue mercenaries, and social prejudice—all while secretly using his advanced medical knowledge to change lives in a world where medicine is nothing more than superstition. But the Surgeon’s System has grander plans for him. A challenge is issued: Establish a clinic. Revolutionize medicine. Survive. Between dangerous dungeons, underworld power struggles, and a city that doesn’t trust him, Ghaz must fight not only for his place in this world but for a future where even an orc’s hands can save lives. A warrior. A healer. A legend in the making.

Hunter Cha Eui-jae, who was dispatched to seal a rift that appeared over the West Sea, was flung out as soon as he closed the rift. When he came to his senses, he was lying in a garbage dump. Starving, he was drawn like a zombie is to blood to a hangover soup restaurant, where he realized that he had fallen into South Korea, eight years in the future. In this era, disaster alerts notify people of rift openings in advance, ASMR videos of slimes gathered from dungeons were trending, and idle hunters livestream unboxings of A-rank longswords. Unlike the past, where people trembled in fear of an impending apocalypse, the future was surprisingly peaceful, leaving Cha Eui-jae feeling empty. Since things had turned out this way, why not start a second chapter of life as a part-timer at the hangover soup restaurant, rather than being a hunter? “That’s strange.” “…” “Have we met somewhere before?” Cha Eui-jae’s plan to quietly spend his remaining days as the only part-time worker at the decades-old hangover soup restaurant goes awry when he encounters a mysterious, gas-masked individual… DISCLAIMER: The story isn't mine

"Hiss.. baby, you're making me hard~" Jian rue froze. "W-why are you following me! why me.." Xing yu stopped running, and with a swing of his sword, the ugly tentacle alien was slayed. He gentnly pulled him down and hugged him close. Peering into his eyes, he smirked, "Because you are my betrothed,"

Ethan's head throbbed violently as he opened his eyes, his vision hazy and unfocused. A dull ringing filled his ears, drowning out his thoughts. "What’s happening…?" he thought, his mind sluggish, struggling to catch up with reality. One moment, he was asleep—or at least, he thought he was—and the next, searing pain forced him awake. His vision swam, shapes blurring together in a disorienting mess. But then, muffled noises filtered through the haze—frantic, panicked sounds. Someone was trying to scream, their voice smothered, choked by something. A cold shiver ran down his spine. As his sight gradually sharpened, Ethan's breath hitched. He was on all fours, looming over someone. A girl. Her body twisted and writhed beneath him, ropes biting into her wrists and ankles. Her mouth was gagged, muffling her cries. Her wide brown eyes, brimming with fear and fury, glared up at him. Ethan's body locked in place, his blood running cold. "What the…?" His mind reeled, thoughts slamming into each other in chaotic disarray. "What kind of bizarre dream is this?" Panic clawed at his chest. His breath came in ragged, uneven gasps as he scrambled backward, only to realize his limbs felt sluggish, uncooperative, like they didn’t belong to him. "Is this… is this some kind of twisted fantasy I never knew I had?" A sickening thought slithered through his mind, making his stomach churn. The girl's frantic squirming slowed for a moment, her gaze flickering with confusion as she took in his expression—his trembling hands, his wide, horrified eyes. But the fear returned just as quickly. She struggled harder, her body arching, her muffled screams rising in pitch. Ethan wanted to speak, to say something, anything, but before he could force out a word, a glowing blue window materialized before his eyes. His breath caught. A translucent, hovering screen? "What…?" Lines of glowing text scrolled across its surface. --- [System Activated…] [Host Confirmed.] [Simulating Previous Data…] Ethan awakens in a mysterious world, shackled by a curse that clouds his judgment and drives him toward choices he never wished to make. Burdened by guilt and responsibility, he must navigate the fallout of his actions while unraveling the truth behind the curse—and his place in this enigmatic new reality.

Experiencing a suffocating marriage with the man whom she was arranged to marry made Joanna want to leave him. But it was a failure as she died as the wife of the man who abandoned her and her son before they divorced. On the verge of her death, she made a wish to not encounter him again if there was a next life. She wished for the end of their fate only in this lifetime. She wanted to forget everything about him. However, when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the room of the mansion of the man she just married. She was awakened by a dream that seemed to be a nightmare of her past life. She didn’t remember completely everything that had occurred in her past life and the dream was fragmented. But deep inside her heart, she only felt one thing. She was adamant about leaving him, to be far away from him. Therefore, she left his mansion just before she met him in person in the present lifetime. However, what she didn’t expect was that the so-called husband pursued her, not allowing her to leave him. Would Joanna be successful in leaving the man in this lifetime? Would fate play the same tragedy as her past life? --- As he pulled his finger away from her soft, warm lips, he said, “It is good you stopped winding up, Joanna. Otherwise, I would have used the other method to make you stop blabbering over the same, boring topic endlessly.” When he noticed the stubborn woman was about to prove herself to be stubborn, the man leaned forward in a swift movement, facing the woman’s stupefied face which was an inch away from his. “Continue to blabbering, don’t blame me if I apply my other method right now,” the man murmured above her breath, trailing his gaze from her quivering eyes to her lips before moving it back to her now widened eyes. --- *Cover doesn’t belong to the author.

Zareth Valgarde was more than a warlord—he was a force of conquest, an emperor who bent the world to his will. Kings knelt before him, nations crumbled at his feet, and even the gods themselves dared not speak against his rule. Until the day his most trusted allies betrayed him. Slain in the heart of his burning empire, Zareth was cast into oblivion, his name erased from history. His death was meant to be absolute, his legend buried beneath the sands of time. But fate—or something far older and darker—had other plans. Centuries later, he awakens in a world that has forgotten him. His empire is dust, his enemies’ bloodlines still thrive, and a false king sits upon a stolen throne. But the warlord does not return as a mere man—he is something more now. Something far more dangerous. The world believes its greatest nightmare is long dead. It is wrong. With nothing but his rage, his wits, and the power that now coils beneath his skin, Zareth will carve his way through this new age. He will make the world remember his name. And those who betrayed him? They will beg for the mercy he was never given. The Tyrant’s Resurgence is a dark fantasy filled with brutal battles, empire-shattering revenge, and an unstoppable antihero rising from the ashes of history. If you enjoy ruthless protagonists, fast-paced action, and the weight of destiny colliding with raw ambition, then prepare for war. Because the Tyrant has returned.

Gabriel was just another unlucky nerd – until he was sucked into Faytheria, a world where vampires eat chocolate, goddesses have teenage meltdowns, and magic is as unpredictable as a dragon with hiccups. Now, he's the "Player," a human hated by everyone, marked by a petulant goddess, and in love with the most sarcastic and dangerous vampire at the Arcane School. Between spellcasting classes that go wrong, bizarre detentions, and gala balls with mythological creatures, Gabriel just wants to survive. But with Seraphine Noctaria, the vampire who loves to literally play with her food, on his tail, Gabriel's life (or unlife) becomes a hilarious comedy of errors. And the burning question is: in the end, will Gabriel become dinner, or will he dine on a vampire?

This is the story of a man who had lived a life that could only be described as a tragedy. His parents died when he was 8. His wife had a miscarriage and ended up passing away with his son. When he turned 30, he lost an arm in the great war between the empire he called home and the neighboring state. At 52, his adopted daughter was tragically killed by the same man who he swore loyalty to, the emperor. When he was stabbed in the heart at 74 years old, he wasn't angry by the betrayal from who was wielding the sword. Instead, he was relieved. Finally, he could rest. But when he opened his eyes, expecting to find himself in the afterlife, instead, he awoke to when he was only 7 years old. With the opportunity to change his future, this man only desired one thing—rest. He wanted to rest. He was tired of all the schemes, the betrayals, the losses, and the tears he'd shed. All he wanted to do now was rest and he would do anything he needed to in order to achieve that goal of his. So what happens when a boy who is too great for his own good is not left alone? Read and see.

She hadn’t expected to be cornered like this, not here, not now. His tall frame loomed over her, blocking any escape as he stood inches from her, pinning her to the wall with his presence alone. His hand rested just above her head, his fingers brushing the cool surface of the locker, creating a barrier that trapped her in place. Her breath caught, her heart thundering in her chest as she realized how little space was left between them. His eyes were dark, full of something she couldn’t decipher but desperately wanted to understand. He stared at her, not saying anything at first, just letting the silence stretch between them. She could feel her pulse race, her face flushing, her body frozen, even though she wanted to push him away. “What are you going to do about it?” he asked, his voice smooth, teasing, and filled with a challenge. There was something in the way he spoke, something that made her stomach twist with a mixture of confusion and excitement. She opened her mouth to say something—anything—but the words wouldn’t come. Her hands hung at her sides, unsure whether to push against his chest or hold herself back. She couldn’t tell if she wanted him to step closer or if she just wanted to run far away from the intensity that radiated from him. “Stop…” she murmured, but the word felt too weak, too powerless against the gravity pulling them together. “What do you want from me?” His lips curled into a small, almost predatory smile. “I want you to stop pretending you don’t feel it,” he said softly, his gaze never leaving hers. His closeness was suffocating, but in the most intoxicating way. The tension between them was palpable, like a storm ready to break. She could feel the heat of his body against hers, could hear the steady rhythm of his breathing as if they were the only two people in the world. She wanted to fight back, wanted to be strong and resist, but something in her—something deep inside—kept her rooted to the spot. He was her classmate, the guy everyone knew, the one with that effortless confidence that made all the girls swoon. And now here he was, making her feel things she wasn’t sure how to deal with. Her hands trembled, caught between pushing him away and giving in to the wild, dizzying pull she felt toward him. She was terrified, but there was also a spark of curiosity, of something she couldn’t quite control. “I’m not… ready for this,” she whispered, though her voice shook with uncertainty. “I don’t even know what you’re doing.” He didn’t answer right away, his gaze softening just enough to let her know that he was listening, that he wasn’t in a rush. He leaned in slightly, his breath brushing against her cheek. “I think you do,” he murmured. “You just don’t want to admit it yet.” Amidst the whirlwind of school friendships, and the pressure. Can anyone dare to be open to the possibility with someone who seems so unreachable?
