When human beings ventured into the Interstellar Age, they encountered the Ochs Civilization, and thus followed the first Interstellar War. Lost territories continued to increase along with the skyrocketing casualties. Eventually, humans were forced back into the Solar System. In the 58th year of the Federation, Lin Fan, a traverser from Earth, graduated from the Interstellar Military Academy and entered the Federation Fleet. That then signalled the day of the humans’ counterattack! From dominating the Milky Way to the entire Universe, mankind never stopped. This is a story of a traverser leading mankind to rule the Universe!

When the world begins to unravel under the weight of a dying prophecy, Commander Seralyn Virellia, heir to the Elven Dominion, is forced into a dangerous alliance with the last person she’d ever trust Kaela Morwyn, a half-demon witch wanted for war crimes and shadowcraft. Their meeting is supposed to end in blood. But magic has other plans. Hunted by kingdoms, bound by an ancient sigil, and haunted by their shared pasts, Seralyn and Kaela must journey through cursed lands, battle otherworldly beasts, and confront their darkest fears. As blades clash and sparks fly, hate begins to burn into something far more dangerous… desire. But in a world crumbling under the Hollowing, can love between an elf and a witch save what’s left? Or is their union the final step toward total destruction?

If you had one final chance to go back— to walk the hardest, most dangerous path with the fate of the universe at stake… would you still choose to return? …not to fix a failed past, but to face a final timeline— where nothing remains the same. A boy named Akira, who longed for nothing more than an ordinary life… is thrust into a destiny far beyond what any heart should bear. In a world where magic fuses with science, and disasters far beyond imagination loom closer by the day, he must face the Seven Deadly Sins, demon lords, rogue machines, alien threats— and even… the gods themselves. Amidst war and the brink of collapse, he holds onto only two things— the love and teachings of a distant family, and comrades who fall and rise with him, again and again. Join Akira on a journey through smiles, tears, sweat, and blood— across floating cities, lands of molten lava, submerged kingdoms, crystal peaks, sacred forests, and many more awe-inspiring places scattered across Arcadia— too wondrous to name, yet too vivid to forget. This is not just a tale of saving the world… It’s the story of how one boy fights to protect his heart. And when the final chapter arrives… will he still be the same? Or will this story change you forever?

One day, the entire Earth is plunged into an endless ice apocalypse. All humans awaken in a desolate frozen wasteland with only a single flickering campfire to keep them alive. Here, the rules of reality have changed — everyone must gather resources, craft tools, and build from fragile wooden huts to sturdy stone fortresses just to survive the deadly cold. Monstrous frost beasts roam the white abyss. Hunger and cold gnaw at the mind. In this hopeless situation, humanity struggles, and countless people die every day. However, Ye Tian, an ordinary office worker, suddenly awakens a hidden SSS-rank class: ChatBot User! With it, he can access an exclusive "Command Console" akin to a cheat mode in a sandbox survival game: > /give longsword x1 /enchant longsword.sharpness5 /spawn survival_kit x1 But nothing is free. Every command costs Command Points (CP)—which can only be earned by overcoming brutal challenges, defeating frost beasts, or completing hidden missions. As the world falls into despair and the strong prey on the weak, Ye Tian forges legendary weapons, constructs indestructible fortresses, and commands an army of summoned beasts to dominate the frozen lands. When others shiver in broken wooden shacks, he lounges inside a grand heated palace. When others scavenge for scraps, he dines on gourmet feasts. "You want to challenge me? Sorry, I just gave myself a +1000 Strength buff." In this game of life and death, only he can write his own commands and decide his fate. --- Tags: Game Elements, Survival, System, Isekai, Overpowered Protagonist, Base Building, Resource Management, Face Slapping, Strongest Alone, Cold Apocalypse.

Synopsis: The Supreme World Conqueror The story begins with Don Adraels, the youngest son of an Earl in the turbulent Helimdor Region, who, on his wedding night, awakens a dormant ancestral power known as the Black Flame. This volatile force grants him absolute will, strategic insight, and devastating magical abilities. With his fiery-haired bride, the powerful battle-mage Caria Thornf, at his side, Don embarks on a brutal campaign to consolidate power in the south, transforming their arranged marriage into a fearsome partnership forged in fire and power. Don's rise is swift and relentless. In a series of cunning military campaigns, he systematically defeats the rival earldoms of Helimdor, culminating in a decisive war against the ruthless Earl Ekarvel Tidor and his unseen, terrifying ally, the Pale Wraith. Don and his unified forces not only shatter Tidor’s legions and conquer his volcanic fortress of Emberstone, but they also find a way to break the Wraith’s mind-bending power, proving the Archduke's dominance over both flesh and spirit. With Helimdor unified, Don begins building his empire. He secures the allegiance of the south’s great houses—Griffor, Aetheria, and the vengeful remnants of Hailch—not just through conquest, but through a series of strategic marriages. Each of his queens—Caria (Consort of Flame), Callara (the Iron Queen of the Mountains), Marell (the serene Sky Weaver), and Serina (the Queen of Vengeance)—brings a unique power and loyalty forged in a unique intimacy with Don. Their diverse magical and martial abilities, amplified by his Black Flame, become the pillars of the new Obsidian Court. Don formally declares himself Archduke of Helimdor, establishing Emberstone as his capital and launching ambitious projects to build a self-sufficient dominion. He establishes a War Academy, a Grand Magisterium for arcane research, and, with the help of Lady Marell and Earl Dornel Hailch, forges a secret trade route to bypass the Crown’s royal blockade. This rapid ascent draws the jealous ire of Crown Prince Strelm, who orchestrates a shadow war from the capital, Erydon. He first sends a spy, who is covertly assassinated by Don's spymaster, Leinara Veyeb, now transformed into the chilling commander of the Black Blades. When a blockade fails, the Crown resorts to a new tactic: a highly public duel of honor. A renowned champion, Sir Gareth Solara from the noble House Solara, is sent to challenge Don's claim and legitimacy in single combat. Now, with the eyes of the entire kingdom upon him, the Archduke of Helimdor must prove that his power is a force of legitimacy, honor, and unstoppable will, ready to either be recognized as a sovereign ruler or plunge the kingdom into the massive civil war he has been building toward.

Waking up in another world... it should be a dream come true. But for someone who lived seventy years on Earth with few regrets and a life long and full, this new beginning comes stained with blood, death, and chains. The old woman she was didn't ask for a second chance, let alone one in the body of an undead werewolf who was once Commander of an army of horrors. Yet freedom from the yoke of the Aterior Zephyr brought no peace—only unanswered questions and a guilt that isn't hers to bear, but feels like her own. While struggling to understand whether this is a lucid dream, divine punishment, or a cruel twist of fate, she must confront the memories of a life that isn't hers, the hatred of the living, and the flickering promise of redemption in a world where hope lies buried in ruins. Amidst former allies, cursed weapons, and inner monsters, Astharothe Merryck won't just fight to survive... she'll fight to live up to her name.

A rebellion foretold eons ago, mankind descended upon a world of death and despair, and from there, with power and authority, stability shall be brought forth. All the while, uncovering the secrets of the old powers. Behold! The Emperor Of Man Rises! --- Author's Discord Server: https://discord.gg/QykfUHd6Ta

Emotional diary with Love stories and adventures of one legendary space Commander, who lived 1000 years in one far far away galaxy…

My name is Evren Lestir. Once, I was a girl who saw the world in colors so bright, they could warm even the coldest soul. But life has a cruel way of testing even the brightest flames. After losing everything I held dear, I drifted through a hollow existence—numb to the world, blind to its colors, and deaf to its call. I thought nothing could reignite the light I lost. Then The System found me. With shimmering blue panels and words that hummed like perfect promises, it pulled me into another reality—a maze of endless worlds stitched together by missions, monsters, and the illusion of progress. A labyrinth where forward was the only option. At first, I thought it was salvation. Each step, each battle, each drop of blood painted forgotten colors back into my world. I grew drunk on the hues I had lost, chasing the sky’s beauty with a childlike wonder, believing the fields and hills before me were all there was. But a torch shining in a narrow corridor can make even a prison look like a palace. In truth, I was a frog at the bottom of a well, gazing at a fragment of a sky—naïve to the infinite world beyond the gritty stone walls built by The System. But after a mistake in that omnipotent construct, I found myself peeking through a crack in the wall, presented with a fragment of the truth I never saw. This maze was never meant to be escaped. It was never meant to be climbed—not even to glimpse the sky beyond. Yet through that slender crack, a flicker of sunlight ignited something long-buried within me—a spark of the campfire I once carried. I will chase that light. I will see beyond these walls. And I will remember the world they tried to bury. Even if every strike I make against the walls sends ripples of ruin through the maze.

He destroyed her kingdom. Now he wants her heart. Taken as a concubine by the ruthless King Malek—known for razing realms with his god-like powers—Seraya swore she’d never bow. But the more she resists, the more obsessed he becomes. In a palace of jealous rivals and deadly secrets, Seraya must survive his obsession, outwit his enemies… and guard her heart before it’s claimed completely. Because soon, she’ll discover exactly why they call him the Conqueror— and what becomes of those who dare to defy him. -Enemies to Lovers -Tyrant King x Captive Princess -Palace Intrigue -Soul-bonded Fates Teaser Preview: Seraya didn’t look back. King Malek watched her disappear beyond the hedges, striding away purposefully, not allowing her pride on full display. Interesting. He stood in the garden’s center, arms loosely folded, pulse annoyingly fast. A part of him—cold and calculating—should’ve left by now. Should’ve called a guard to escort her, reminded himself she was just another unwilling offering from a conquered land. But the rest of him, the darker, quieter part… was intrigued. She was different. Most women fell over themselves trying to please him. Some wept. Some flattered. Others performed needlessly grand gestures to gain his notice. But Seraya? She hid under tables and looked at him like he was something less than impressive. Like he was just another guard with nothing to offer her. It was maddening. And strangely refreshing. Malek sat back down on the same cushion she’d just vacated, still warm from her body, her scent lingering faintly—honeysuckle and sun-warmed linen. This, he thought. This is the scent that has been evading him the past few weeks. He’d gotten lingering traces of it at times when he’d enter a room, but it was always a ghost of a scent. At times it had lingered around that little red headed concubine, Jane or something. She was decent in bed, eager for sure. But not what he wanted. Lying in bed afterwards, her true scent came out—apples and ivy, and left him feeling empty. What had first intrigued him had been an illusion. But he knew it existed somewhere in the palace. He’d felt like a bloodhound the past few weeks searching for its true owner. Of course it belonged to the little vixen who has been avoiding the king like the plague. He took another deep inhale. His hand drifted to the spot where her fingers had curled into the edge of the cushion. He let out a breath and chuckled softly to himself. “You really don’t know, do you?” he murmured to the empty garden. She hadn’t recognized him. Not without the crown, the robes, the ring of soldiers and desperate concubines. And gods, that made it even better. It had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him without fear or flattery. She hadn’t lied to protect herself. She didn’t pander. She just was. Honest. Guarded, yes, but there had been a spark behind her eyes. A fire buried beneath the survival instincts. He’d seen it. Felt it. She hated him. And it thrilled him. He leaned his head back against the stone wall and closed his eyes, letting the filtered sunlight wash over his face. This garden had always been a quiet place, but now it felt… alive. Perhaps because for once, he didn’t have to be the king. He could be Lex—just a man in training clothes. Just a shadow on the edge of her world. And she had let him in, just a little. “She thinks I’m charming,” he mused aloud, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. “Poor girl.” He wouldn’t reveal himself yet. No, not until she was well and truly tangled. Until she wanted him—and hated herself for it. Until she looked at Lex the way all the others looked at Malek… and realized too late that they were the same man. But it wouldn’t be easy. She was flame wrapped in thorns. And if he reached too fast, too hard, she’d cut him before she burned him. He liked that. He hadn't meant to linger. A quiet moment int he library-that's all he wanted. But instead he found something better than peace. A challenge.

【Western Fantasy + Reincarnation + Political Intrigue and Revenge + Anti-Hero + System】 In his previous life, Marcus, the most talented third prince of the empire, was betrayed by his brothers, powerful ministers, and lover on the eve of his coronation and poisoned to death beneath the throne. Now, he has been reborn at the age of 16 during his time at the Magic Academy, carrying his complete memories and the “Shadow Book” system. At this moment, he is merely an overlooked prince neglected by his father and oppressed by his mentor. After his rebirth, Marcus immediately faces bullying from his elder brother's faction and deliberate harassment from his mentor, who aim to crush him completely and eliminate him within the academy. Meanwhile, his former “fiancée,” one of the main culprits behind his betrayal, shines brightly in the academy as a prodigy, forming a stark and humiliating contrast with him. Marcus must secretly use the “Shadow Book” to steal his enemies' fortune, transforming the wisdom and hatred from his past life into power to break the deadlock before him. At the academy competition, everyone thought Marcus was no match for his brother's men and prepared to watch him be publicly humiliated. However, Marcus crushed his opponents with an overwhelming display of unprecedented, bizarre magic, and exposed the conspiracy between his mentor and brother to commit fraud, shocking the entire audience. People realized for the first time that this forgotten prince's true strength far exceeded everyone's imagination. Marcus (inner thoughts): "Laugh all you want. Every ounce of contempt you cast at me now will become nourishment for my 'Book of Shadows,' paving the way for me with stairs made from your bones." His arch-enemy (his older brother and former fiancée, upon receiving the news): "Useless... suddenly wised up? Hmph. I'll see how this stray dog who won by sheer luck once struggles in the despairing net I've woven with my own hands." But Marcus soon discovered that the seemingly simple palace coup was actually tied to the "Elemental War" of a hundred years ago and the lost "Celestial Civilization"... What was the true purpose of the mysterious entity that implanted the "Book of Shadows" into his soul?
