The Eternal General's Loop

The soil of **Cannae** runs crimson, a haunting stain of Roman ambition and Carthaginian cunning. There, at the zenith of his prowess and the precipice of devastating defeat in **216 BCE**, **General Titus Valerius**, a veteran hardened by a thousand battles, falls amidst a storm of steel. His final thoughts are not of surrender, but of the unyielding ferocity that only a Roman can know. Yet, death does not claim him. Instead, an incomprehensible force rips him from the carnage, casting him into a vast, silent sea of **black and white pages**, a cosmic archive of history. Titus does not know he is trapped. He awakens, again and again, in unfamiliar bodies, in eras of splendor and ruin, hurled randomly through the centuries of **ancient Rome**. In the blink of an eye, he can transition from a humble **plebeian** in a decaying Athens under Roman rule, to a **legionary** fighting for the Republic's survival on blood-soaked fields, or even to a **dignitary** in the opulent days of the Empire. Each life is a rebirth, each era a new stage, but Titus's essence, the memory of his legions, and his tactical genius burn undimmed within him. Haunted by **premonitions** and the uncanny familiarity of events that should not yet have transpired, Titus is inevitably drawn into the conflicts and turning points of his beloved Rome. He fights with the same valor and strategic brilliance of old, striving with every fiber of his being to shape destiny, save lives, avert disaster. But the "Loop" is relentless. Every personal victory, every small deviation he achieves, is rewritten by an unseen cosmic hand. Wars end as they must, empires fall in their destined time, and the great figures of history fulfill their roles, untouched by his desperate efforts. **"The Eternal General's Loop"** is a raw and emotional tale of a man condemned to witness the history he so loves, trapped within an unbreakable cage of time. It is the odyssey of a warrior who refuses to yield, again and again, in an endless cycle of glory, bloodshed, and despair. But as the centuries of Rome unfold, whispers of a greater, more daunting truth begin to surface. **Beyond the familiar eagles and legions, echoes of other ages stir.** He will face the brutal attrition of a **Hundred Years' War**, the shadow of the **Black Death** sweeping across continents, and perhaps even stand witness to the fiery resolve of a maiden named **Joan**, her banner raised in defiance. He may find himself caught in the fervent zeal of a **Holy War**, where faith drives armies and empires clash over sacred lands. And beyond these more commonly known trials, there lie deeper currents in the tapestry of time, moments and empires far removed from the Roman sphere, hinting at the true, terrifying extent of his eternal burden. Will this eternal soldier ever grasp the nature of his condemnation? Or is he destined to remain merely an anomaly, a silent scream in the unstoppable river of history, as time itself unfolds, again and again, before his bewildered eyes?

The Stolen Melody of Starlight: INYEON

Elara Vance, a gifted but unassuming music student, finds her quiet life shattered when she inherits an antique music box. Within it lies an unfinished, coded melody – a fragment of the legendary "Starlight Requiem." When shadowy figures, relentless in their pursuit of the Requiem, target her, Elara is thrust into a dangerous alliance with Liam Thorne, a brooding rock star haunted by his family's ancient secrets. Together, they uncover a truth far more profound than any song: the Starlight Requiem is not magic, but an intricate, ancient master code of universal frequencies. A scientific principle capable of manipulating fundamental forces, its complete knowledge could redefine reality itself. As two ruthless factions close in – Liam’s power-hungry uncle, Elias Thorne, and a mysterious, technologically advanced organization – Elara and Liam must piece together the Requiem's fragmented clues. Their perilous quest leads them from the hidden depths beneath a city library, through forgotten tunnels, to a secluded observatory nestled high in the Himalayas. With each decoded segment, the immense potential, and terrifying danger, of the Requiem becomes clearer. Their only defense lies in their deepening partnership. Elara's unique intuitive sensitivity to the Requiem’s intricate patterns, combined with Liam’s vast knowledge of ancient Thorne family archives and his strategic mind, forms an unbreakable bond – their Inyeon. They are two halves of a singular purpose, racing against time to protect this world-altering knowledge from falling into the wrong hands. Can their combined efforts unveil the universe's ultimate secret before its power is unleashed for destruction? Or will their fated connection simply lead them to the heart of a war they never sought?

Becoming an Invader in a Fantasy Story

Layfon Drogo had the potential to be an interesting villain of a story. But the writer discarded him as a tutorial enemy that any no name mob could have been...Now we're here. Being chosen as an Invader, we are bestowed the means and power to change this world. Whether we help it or watch it burn is our decision. Watch as we create and build our Dungeon to take over two worlds and amass our own harem of beauties along the way. What should have been the MC, we will take! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX This story was originally called 'World of Alber'. I greatly enjoy my stories and will never drop them. However, I have to admit, this one was a little too slow paced. The idea was for it to be an experiment in slow building a story from the ground up. The problem is, while I enjoyed writing it, I want others to be able to enjoy it too. Plus, once we got to the village stage, I realized the plot was a little lack luster. So, I reinvented the story into something a little more fast-passed and interesting. I still intend to maintain the kingdom building, dungeons, summons, and other aspects that made up the core of Alber, but with an overall different plot/more developed plot. For anyone interested in the original, I have it saved in the auxiliary chapters and would love feedback. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX If you like what I do and want to support me, I have both a ko-fi and Patreon account. No paywalls, just something for people to help support a guy that likes writing. Can also be used to make requests for a particular story or that I devote more of my free time to a specific story. They’re pretty barebones right now; so, advice and tips would be appreciated. https://ko-fi.com/nevermore101 https://patreon.com/Nevermore101 I’m also on other sites where I post stories. Although I cross post most of it, I do keep some stuff exclusively to one site or another.

Rupegia

"You may now kiss the bride." But no kiss ever came. I'm ripped from my wedding and thrown into a medieval fantasy world with game-like elements. It may seem like a game, but that doesn't matter to me, because this is my reality. The pain, the hunger, the cold, the fear, it's all real to me. Alone, without knowing why I'm here, in a world where I know nothing and nobody, I decide to buy a Blood Slave to have someone I can trust. She brings me comfort and so much more. She helps me raise my head high again and bravely move forward. Together, we'll grow stronger. Together, we're unbreakable. But she won't be the only one by my side. We need more than just each other, for I know that my purpose in this world can't be accomplished with only her help. Monsters and dungeons plague the land, forcing civilization to protect themselves from the hordes with tall walls and fierce determination. Killing monsters is a daily need, but they aren't the only enemy here. I have a powerful "Gift" that allows me to change my "skill points" at will, but if others were to know about it, there would be many that would try to use me by any means possible. Step by step, moment by moment, day by day, we keep moving forward, always aiming to improve our strength. One day, we'll meet our Fate, and we'll be ready for it. Swords held high, shields tightly strapped to our arms, wings spread apart, spells at the tip of our tongues, minds focused like blades, and our hearts hardened like steel. We'll take on whatever comes our way! --------------------------------------------- *Additional Tags*: Psychological, Romance, Magic, Male Lead, Portal Fantasy/Isekai/Transmigration, Polygamy, Slaves *Content Warning*: gore, profanity, sexual content (male/female, female/female, and human/non-human (*not for the faint of heart*)), traumatizing content *What to expect*: Slow story focused on the day-to-day life of a transmigrated man rather than on the plot. The plot exists but it *very slowly* becomes relevant. Also, *slow* character progress. It's a long journey, so don't expect a hero to grow in just a few chapters. Detailed environments and extensive world-building. Realistic and tactical combat instead of flashy. Protagonist with a cheat but far from overpowered. Lots of descriptive sex scenes, it is treated as just another part of life instead of merely fan-service. A harem where the members actually enjoy living with each other. Occasional weird wording and grammar, English isn't my first language. New chapters Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8PM US East. This story is also on Royal Road (*most sexual content censored*), Scribble Hub, Novel Updates, Hentai Foundry, MoonQuill, Archive of Our Own, and Literotica.
