Hamptons Scrap

Tianwu Continent, thirteen hundred years ago. The ancestors followed the strongest primal beasts, picking up the scraps of other primal beasts' carcasses left behind by their consumption. The mighty primal beasts did not bother to pay attention to these creatures smaller than their toe tips, while the ancestors felt immense gratitude towards the primal beasts for leaving behind some remnants, to which they prostrated themselves in worship.

Li Zhongnan, a seemingly foolish young man from a rural village, steps onto the world stage from humble beginnings as a scrap collector, after acquiring a "Recycling System".

One day, I was dying being stabbed by an “unsatisfied” client, leaving me in a cold dark alley with only my memories and regrets. I closed my eyes looking and my friend, the moon itself, my sole companion who will actually care for my final rest. The next day, I was awake and alive, in the same body type, but with a different face, a new name and in another place. I was not in that alley anymore, I was in an old vintage type of room. Next thing I knew, all the memories of he dead person whose body I took over came over me. Turns out, I, was now Amelia Cora Baker, a girl whose mother left her living in the family as a servant while she and her new family would get all the spoils and left Amelia to fed out of scraps. But I wasn’t going to let them use me as they see fit! I would avenge the original Amelia and impersonate her with my knowledge in business and marketing and get out of the house as soon as possible! My plan consists in a variety of very specific steps: Step number 1: Get a job or jobs. As long as they legal, it doesn’t matter how much they pay, & try to stay out of the house as much as possible. Step 2: Leave the family and get Amelia’s biological father’s inheritance and leave for a place close to the city. —> Step 2b: if winter caughts you before hand, then settle on a place for the winter and then continue on searching in spring. Step 3: (Whether you’ve made it to the city or not yet) Create your own products. Start with the basics: bread, milk products such as cheese and yogurt, cookies and even baked goods such as pies and cakes. Step 4: Start contracting people to work for you. Whether they’re women or children doesn’t matter as long as they do a good job. Step 5: Open a small store in the city to sell the things that you produce and make business partners with other people & traders. —> Note: Only when you’ve finally found a permanent place to settle in. Step 6: Create your own shelter for women & children to help them get back on their feet. Step 7: Keep working hard until retirement. Next thing I know I have a HUGE market inside an ENORMOUS place with millions of customers. Small businesses would make deals with me to sell their products in my place and even royalty and people from other countries would come just to take a look at what I can offer. I literally made my OWN Emporium! My life could not be better right? Wait, what do you mean that the pair of e enslaved twins that I rescued, safely helped them and raised them turned out to be big shots?! What?! You mean the baby girl who I found in the road was the lost princess of a neighbouring Empire?! Huh?! What do you mean that my little half-Elf boy became the new King of Elves? What’s next?! That the man that got me pregnant is actually the new Tyrant of this Kigndom?! . . . . Oh oh.

So the harem and no-harem part will be dealt later and enjoy the reading right now, if possible then ignore my mistake in first 11 chapters.) –————– Zar had just completed the prologue of his first novel—a sprawling, intricate universe known as the Nexus Verse, filled with multiverses, ancient beings, and a god-tier academy designed to train the most powerful individuals across existence. He had poured years into world-building, designing complex systems, and crafting lore that would put even the greatest fictional worlds to shame. It was his magnum opus… or so he thought. Then, on the night of his 22nd birthday, something went horribly wrong. A simple cake-cutting moment turned into an out-of-body experience, and when he woke up, he wasn’t at home anymore. Instead, he found himself standing inside the very world he had created—but there was a problem. He had only written the prologue. The rest? Just scattered ideas in his head. And now, he was here. To his horror, the Nexus Verse was far more vast and chaotic than he had imagined. His "brilliant" concepts had backfired spectacularly—there weren’t just a few multiverses, there were over 9,000 of them, each teeming with powerful civilizations, cosmic monstrosities, and warlords that made gods look like insects. Worse, the Nexus Academy—the elite institution he had designed to train only the strongest beings—was real. And as fate would have it, he was now a participant in its entrance exam. Armed with whatever scraps of lore he can remember and the horrifying realization that he might have made this world way too overpowered, Zar must navigate the trials of Nexus Academy, outsmart beings that defy logic, and pray that none of the godlike entities he wrote into existence decide to obliterate him just for fun. After all, if the author himself doesn’t even know what happens next… how the hell is he supposed to survive? As he struggles to comprehend the madness he has been thrown into, a voice—ancient, boundless, and resonating with unfathomable power—echoes in his mind. [At long last… the Architect awakens. Welcome, my sole and rightful wielder.] Zar's breath caught in his throat. What the hell had he created?

For centuries, the Shattered Gate has held back the horrors lurking in the Beyond. It was the last safeguard against Corruption, the remnants of a disastrous war that nearly consumed the world. But now, the Gate is weakening, and Rifts—fractures in reality—have begun spilling chaos into the Twelve Mega-Cities. Reid Eulison grew up scavenging electronic scrap in the slums—until the night he awakens an impossible gift. [Initializing System Override...] [You are now a Candidate of the Shattered Gate.] [Your Path is Unwritten.] Marked by an ancient power that should not exist, Reid must uncover the truth behind the Shattered Gate, navigate a world teetering on the brink of collapse, and carve his place in a hierarchy where strength is absolute and betrayal is inevitable. But as the war for dominion intensifies, a horrifying truth emerges: The Shattered Gate wasn’t meant to protect humanity. It was meant to keep something out. And now… it’s waking up.

In the year 2147, humanity lives under the absolute control of the United Federation of Sovereign States (UFSS). Society is divided into unbreakable classes within the System, where heroes are glorified, and outcasts exist only to be trampled upon. Kael Arvid has spent his life in the Lower Districts, surviving on miserable jobs and accumulating hatred against a world that never gave him a chance. But when he discovers a mysterious artifact in the Scrap Graveyard, his fate changes forever. The System offers him a forbidden role: Anti-Hero. He will not be a savior, nor a leader. His only mission is to sow chaos, challenge the established order, and gain power at any cost. However, accepting this path comes at a price: every victory draws him closer to darkness and the loss of his own humanity. While the world sees him as a threat, the true enemy hides within the depths of the System, manipulating reality itself. Kael is just a piece in a much larger game… but perhaps he is the only one capable of breaking it.

In a cultivation world where geniuses soared like dragons and prodigies shone like stars, strength determined one’s destiny. Empires rose and fell with the swing of a cultivator's sword, and immortality was the ultimate prize. Magical beasts roamed the wild lands, ancient sects guarded forbidden techniques, and the heavens themselves favored the talented. But Aayan was none of those things. A below-average student at the prestigious Skyfall Academy, Aayan was nothing more than a speck of dust in a world of blazing suns. Mocked by his peers, ignored by mentors, and overshadowed even by the most mediocre cultivators, he had no talent, no skills, and seemingly no future. His life was destined to be one of failure, forgotten before it ever began. Until that day. When Aayan hit rock bottom, beaten, humiliated, and left to rot in despair, a voice echoed in his mind: [System Initialization Complete."] [Damn Fucking God System Activated.] [Host: Aayan. Status: Pathetic Loser.] [Objective: Conquer the World, Dominate the Strong, and Build the Ultimate Harem.] With the Damn Fucking God System—a cheat-like existence capable of making the impossible possible—Aayan’s life took a dark, thrilling turn. No longer bound by the rules of cultivation, he rose from nothing, turning humiliation into dominance and weakness into overwhelming power. This is the story of how a worthless boy became the most feared man in the world, with powerful women kneeling at his feet—not out of love, but pure submission. Highlight Features of the Damn Fucking God System (DFGS) for Harem Building: Harem Domination Protocol: Analyzes a woman's deepest desires, fears, and weaknesses, providing Aayan with strategies to seduce, manipulate, or dominate them completely. Whether it's a proud princess, a cold-hearted assassin, or a goddess from another realm—no one is beyond his reach. Charm Enhancement: Passively boosts Aayan’s charisma, making his presence irresistible to women. His voice, scent, and gaze can stir emotions ranging from fascination to uncontrollable desire. Seduction Quests: The system generates personalized missions like "Break the Ice Queen’s Pride" or "Tame the Demoness in Bed," with rewards including new abilities, cultivation techniques, or rare artifacts upon completion. Dual Cultivation Mastery: Grants Aayan forbidden dual cultivation techniques that not only enhance his power through intimate acts but also make the experience addictive for his partners, ensuring their loyalty. Emotional Control Field: A hidden ability that subtly influences the emotions of those around Aayan, making it easier to create bonds, spark jealousy, or ignite passion when needed. How Aayan’s Life Changes: From a pathetic, ignored failure to a ruthless conqueror, Aayan’s transformation is nothing short of monstrous. No longer begging for scraps of attention, he commands respect, fear, and desire. His enemies tremble at his name, while the most untouchable women fight for his attention. But power comes with a price. As Aayan climbs higher, he faces not just external threats from jealous cultivators, sects, and even gods—but also the growing darkness within himself. This isn’t just a story of power. It’s a story of domination, desire, and the rise of a man who refused to be forgotten

As they navigate the dangers of the infected and the ruthless gangs that rule the land, including the fearsome leader known only as The Butcher, the group learns to trust in each other—or die trying. Amidst the violence, betrayal, and heartbreak, Evie and Noah find something neither of them anticipated: hope. A slow-burn romance begins to blossom between them, but the stakes are high, and love may not be enough to keep them safe. In a world where survival is the only thing that matters, is it possible for love to survive after the end?

"No one will ever love you, do you think you deserve love? no you don't..." "I love you, and I'm not ashamed to say it .."

Hunter Bellows was an orphan. He died at the age of twenty, and he got another chance to live from a certain god in exchange for a small favor in his next life. Naturally, Hunter took that chance. When Hunter, now Kai Darkbloom saw what talent and class he had awakened, a certain thought crossed his mind. 'Do I even need to live in society anymore? What if I just scrap the whole thing and go live in the wild?'

It all started with a paper plane. A simple, impulsive gesture—a checklist scrawled onto a scrap of paper, thrown across a room. Are you single? Are you gay? A moment meant to be fleeting. A question meant as a joke. But when Lia catches it, when she marks it and hands it back with nothing but a quiet “Here,” something shifts in Chantel’s world. She wasn’t supposed to fall for her. Lia wasn’t supposed to say yes to a relationship. And yet, against all odds, they happened. What follows is a love story built on patience, hope, and the unspoken belief that love—if nurtured long enough—can change anything. But love is never that simple. Sometimes, love is a paper plane—light enough to soar, fragile enough to fall.

Thank you for your support) Our story takes place on the planet Sarina, where a major conflict is on the horizon. After overpopulating Earth, the humans had no choice but to move to another planet for extra living capacity. Because of the difference in gravity in the two planets, special living accommodations had to be made. This planet also had vast resources that could be used for technological advances. In addition, the effect of having less gravity made the humans able to think and do more. They began to advance in all sorts of weaponry, AI, and mental capacity. They began to think of endless possibilities, and if everything they knew was really what it seemed to be. With all of these advances, the human race looked to be more prosperous than ever. However, there is always bound to be some sort of conflict among humans. And that conflict came in the form of revolution. Tired from corrupt leaders using their power to make everyone but themselves poor, an uprising group called The Principality of Shirina, staged a violent coup. With promises to lead Sarina with peace, freedom, justice, and security, many followed their way. However, there were some, including the master of Shenrei Densetsu, Master Tazz, who would not stand idle for such a violent coup. When people began to speak out against them, they were violently executed. Believing his master to be dead, The Principality took in Shenrei, and turned him into a Shirinan. During this time, The Principality had done everything they could to stop anything related to the belief of the Sarlen, their only opposition. The Sarlen, a celestial race with a mix of human blood and pre human magic, powers come from the belief that they exist, thus they fade away if nobody is actively believing in them. With nobody left to oppose them, The Principality of Shirina (POS) have been able to rule freely with little opposition. With all of their power and resources, they plan to work on new weaponry and continue to spread their influence of power. With Shenrei as the commanding officer of her military, The “Mistress of Evil” Shirina, believes that she has nothing to worry about. The legend of the ”Violet Shock” has instilled fear into all of those who even dare oppose The Principality. Unbeknownst to them, Shenrei has deep hatred for the entire family, and seeks revenge for the “death” of his master. After hearing of a great power in Wabba City, Lady Shirina sends Shenrei and some soldiers to go on a reconnaissance mission. With Shenrei wanting to indulge in his own ambitions, however, he simply leaves. However, the soldiers become reckless, and do things their own way. Despite the efforts of four friends by the name of Jin, Khan, Sonjo, and Skia’, they are entirely powerless to save Sarina. The Sarlen, up to this point, have been gone for millennia. Ever since The Principality had taken over, their life essence had been constantly waning. With their power regained, the Sarlen look to defend those who had forgotten them. Led by C, Ja’Skaar and Baron Hampton, they have declared war on The Principality. The battle for the fate and future for all of Sarina, has officially begun.

Aeliana’s body tensed, every instinct urging her to flee, but her legs refused to obey. The weight of Kaelion’s presence pressed down on her chest, as if the air itself bowed to his will. She clenched her fists, willing herself to stay upright, to meet his gaze with whatever scraps of courage she could muster. She wouldn’t let him see her fear. “Step forward,” Kaelion ordered, his tone smooth but unyielding. Her jaw tightened. The part of her that was human screamed to fight, to run, but there was a faint hum beneath her skin—a whisper of something else. Something fae. It stirred like a forgotten memory, pulling her feet forward against her will. She stopped only a breath away from him, her chin tilted defiantly despite the trembling in her limbs. Up close, the king was even more overwhelming. His features were carved in sharp, perfect lines, his mismatched eyes glinting with an intelligence that saw too much. He wasn’t just cruel; he was calculating. A predator who enjoyed the chase as much as the kill. “What are you?” Kaelion asked, his voice soft but dangerous. He reached out, his claw-tipped fingers brushing the edge of her hood. She flinched, and his lips twitched—a hint of amusement at her reaction. “I’m no one,” she bit out, her voice steadier than she felt. “Just a thief.” “A thief?” he echoed, his fingers catching the edge of the hood. With a single motion, he pushed it back, exposing her face to the moonlight. The murmurs of the onlookers grew louder, their perfect features twisting with disdain. Kaelion’s eyes narrowed, his gaze raking over her. “No one, indeed.” He took a step closer, his presence enveloping her like a dark tide. “And yet… there’s something about you. Something familiar.” Aeliana’s heart pounded as his hand moved, fingers brushing the curve of her jaw. His touch was light, but it burned like fire, sending a shiver down her spine. “I should kill you for your insolence,” Kaelion said, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. “But there’s a… curiosity to you. A defiance I rarely see.” His lips curled into a smirk that didn’t reach his eyes. “I think I’ll keep you instead.” “Keep me?” Her voice cracked as anger flared, momentarily overriding her fear. “I’m not some pet to be claimed.” Kaelion’s smirk vanished, replaced by a cold, imperious glare. “You misunderstand, little thief. I’m not offering you a choice.” Aeliana’s stomach twisted as he raised his hand, his fingers glowing faintly with dark energy. Before she could react, a pulse of power shot through her, wrapping around her wrists like invisible chains. She stumbled, her knees buckling, but the magic held her upright. “You’ve entered my city, stolen from my people, and dared to defy me,” Kaelion said, his voice echoing with authority. “Your punishment will serve as a lesson to all who think they can do the same.” “And what punishment is that?” she spat, struggling against the bonds. Kaelion leaned in, his face inches from hers. “You’ll serve me,” he said, his voice a low, menacing growl. “Body and soul. Until I decide you’ve earned your freedom.” The crowd gasped, their whispers growing louder as the king straightened. Aeliana’s blood ran cold as she realized the full weight of his words. This wasn’t just about punishment—it was about control. And she was at the mercy of a man who had none. “Take her to the palace,” Kaelion commanded, his eyes never leaving hers. “I’ll decide what to do with her later.” The soldiers moved to obey, and Aeliana felt herself being pulled away, her body still bound by the king’s magic. As they dragged her through the streets, the crowd parted, their beautiful faces filled with a mix of fear and contempt. She clenched her fists, her mind racing. She couldn’t let this be the end. She wouldn’t let herself be another victim of Kaelion’s tyranny. Somewhere deep inside her, the faint hum of power stirred again, stronger this time.

Can the rivers burn what they touch as the worlds collide and the sun is all but lost? Are answers always to be sought? Turn that chapter if you so dare..."

To revive House Stormrún, he must unite scattered allies, outwit those who betrayed the House from within, and forge uneasy truces with rulers who suspect him of foul intentions. But can a tarnished fisher boy truly command the loyalty of dragons—or inspire a broken kingdom to rise again?

Everything was going according to plan—until my life was turned upside down. I had just graduated from university and was ready to start my career, fulfilling both my goals and those of my parents. But then, disaster struck. —— Creation of the World—a game that grants its user the ability to control a limitless world, with the power to create and destroy anything without restriction. Cassian watched helplessly as Earth was consumed by the world he had built. Unable to intervene, he suddenly found himself in a body that wasn’t his own. Cassian Starhold—the older brother of the world’s greatest hero. —— I was content with my life as a puppet, a slave whose only purpose was to toil away, sacrificing everything for a few worthless scraps of metal. But my enemies couldn’t leave me in peace. They brought war to my doorstep and destroyed everything I had spent my life building. I stood among thousands of their strongest sons, as they listened to the man who had ignited the fire in my life. Towering and imposing, he spoke from atop majestic marble columns, his gray hair blending with the crowd. Thousands of people, all sharing his features, gazed up at him with eyes filled with admiration and ambition. “People are not equal!” he declared, his voice dripping with arrogance. “We are the pinnacle of evolution! There is nothing beyond us! We have risen above piles of inferior blood, leaving massacres in our wake. And now, you are about to inherit this legacy.” He paused, surveying the crowd below with cold pride. “But this power must be earned. It is not granted by birth. Wealth, power, status… these things demand mountains of victims just to catch a glimpse of them.” His arms stretched wide, madness and pride gleaming in his eyes, and the crowd mirrored him, thousands roaring with fervent pride. The sight was terrifying. “You have no idea what your ancestors sacrificed to put you here. But you will learn. And I swear to you, with my pride on the line…” “Only those worthy of us will survive!” "Soon, I will show you why we are called dragons!" What these so-called dragons don’t know… is that a puppet will rise to shatter their illusions. He’s wrong. None of them will survive. ====== Author's Note: As you can see from the tags, the MC will eventually become a villain, but not at the beginning—and not even within the first three arcs. I'll take the time to carefully build his character and develop his transformation in a way that feels natural and logical. His ultimate goal is to return to his original family, so he harbors a deep hatred for the world he’s been pulled into. This novel will explore darker themes like slavery, murder, mind control, and betrayal. However, it will not contain R-18 content, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you might want to reconsider. The MC won’t be OP from the start, nor the smartest, but he will quickly gain experience and grow.
