I Became the Timekeeper: Juno and the Minutes of her Shattered Deaths

[Rewinding] In a world where each moment hangs by a thread and every second could be her last, Juno Luminara has discovered a horrifying gift—the ability to manipulate the fabric of time. But what seems like salvation is a double-edged curse, bringing her to her own deaths. Each death is real, leaving her scarred with the knowledge of lives unlived and choices unmade. Only she remembers every brutal ending, every gruesome failure. And with every use of her power, the weight of reality presses harder, like an unseen force that’s waiting to crush her under its clockwork inevitability. The realms teeters on the edge of collapse, threatened by the encroaching Void, a force of pure entropy devouring space, time, and sanity itself. Its monstrous rifts open without warning, twisting streets into nightmares where creatures born from forgotten futures stalk anyone unlucky enough to wander too close. Chosen as the Timekeeper, Juno is forced into a deadly game of survival, where one mistake can spiral into endless loops of despair. But she’s not just running from monsters—there are those who know what she can do, and they will stop at nothing to steal her power, even if it means trapping her in an eternal rewind. As she- [System overload] [REDACTED] [Time Skip Initializing] disappears into realms and timelines. With every use of her ability, Juno inches closer to madness, questioning how many times she can watch herself die before she loses what little humanity she has left. Time is both a lifeline and a labyrinth, and the deeper she goes, the harder it becomes to tell what’s real. As the Void tightens its grip on reality, Juno must untangle the twisted threads of fate, confront enigmatic enemies who bend time as easily as she does, and unlock the secrets of her own existence—before her mind fractures, and she becomes just another forgotten anomaly in the collapsing timeline. Her only weapons are her ingenuity, grit, and a system that responds to her every action but reveals as much danger as it does opportunity. One wrong move can doom an entire future; one right step can rewrite reality itself. Every ally is a potential betrayer. Every enemy hides a clue. And in the end, Juno’s biggest enemy may be time itself. "This timekeeper... How much longer do you think you can run from fate? Do you really believe you can cheat death forever?" [System failing...] [Reality restart commencing] With the fabric of existence unraveling, Juno must decide: will she surrender to inevitability, or break free from the cycle to forge her own future? The clock is ticking. And she’s running out of time.

The Last Banner

Hadrian never expected to die—let alone wake up in another world as the frail, sickly son of a duke. Tasked by a god to unite humanity and destroy the monstrous races threatening its survival, Hadrian initially dismisses the divine mission as irrelevant. But when personal tragedy strikes, he embraces his role with a burning resolve, determined to forge a path of vengeance, innovation, and unrelenting ambition. In a fractured world where humans are teetering on the edge of extinction, Hadrian must navigate political intrigue, familial bonds, and the looming spectre of war. Armed with memories of his past life and a mysterious system that grants him knowledge and power, he begins introducing revolutionary changes to his dukedom—from crop rotation to matchlock muskets—all in preparation for the battles to come. As he improves his holding and builds alliances, Hadrian’s relationships grow increasingly complex. His sharp wit and newfound confidence put him at odds with his manipulative older sister, Helena, even as a deeper connection begins to form between them. His bond with his steadfast older brother, Alexander, is tested by suspicion and rivalry. Meanwhile, the looming threat of goblins, orcs, and the sinister Church of the Flame hangs over his every move. The Last Banner is a tale of survival and ambition, blending the grit of dark fantasy with the calculated strategy of a military epic. Through disciplined formations, tactical brilliance, and unwavering determination, Hadrian sets out to unite humanity under his banner and reclaim a world that has all but forgotten the strength of its people. But as the stakes rise and the lines blur between saviour and conqueror, Hadrian must confront the cost of his ambition. Will he become the beacon of hope that humanity desperately needs, or will his quest for power ignite the flames of its final downfall?

The Original Character Lives in the Fanfic World

There was a popular comic that captured the hearts of readers not because of its plot, but rather the bromance between the two protagonists, a crown prince and a duke. Their friendship & mutual trust led fans to ship them endlessly, with countless fanfiction stories ranging from dating to marriage or even incorporating omegaverse settings. One particular m-preg fanfic novel became extremely popular among fans, where the previously cold duke becomes pregnant. But the popularity of both the original comic and this novel caused everything to become unbalanced, until something strange happened - these works of fiction turn into real worlds that collided, creating an error that connected them together. In the world of the comic: Carlton from the fanfic world gazed up at his husband with longing eyes. "Husband..." He pouted, "Why don't you kiss me today?" Alaric from the comic world recoiled slightly and goosebumps broke out over his skin as he moved away. "Please don't come close to me..." He said tersely. Meanwhile, in another world: Alaric from the fanfic world, pulled his beloved Carlton into a warm embrace and peppered kisses on his cheeks. "Darling, are you mad at me?" Alaric asked affectionately. "It's okay, you're still cute." He leaned down to whisper into his ear before continuing. "But don't forget to comfort all our children, they think you're mad at them." Suddenly, seven children barged into the room and called out to their fathers. "Father, Daddy!" they exclaimed. Carlton's frozen expression spoke volumes about his state of mind as he tried to process what was happening. His murderous gaze fixed on Alaric as he muttered through gritted teeth. "Whose children do you say they are....?"

The 13th Kingdom: Reincarnation

"What happens when you isekai a rapper?" The 13th Kingdom: Reincarnation is a fresh take on the isekai genre, where soul-stirring magic meets the raw grit of artistry. Xiro Mikazuki isn’t your typical overpowered hero. Reborn on the planet Gaia, he’s a former musician, a soul battered by the grind of failed dreams and corporate greed. Now, he’s thrust into a world where power flows through magical arts, and the rhythm of battle is as much about creativity as it is about dominance. In this world, M-Cees harness mana to perform Mana Arts and Skills. Xiro isn’t just reincarnated—he’s redefined. Armed with a Sonata Soul Core and two rare Vessel Skills—[Moon Sage: Tsukuyomi] and [Midnight Star: Belial]—he begins his climb in a society that worships Godwalkers, magical prodigies who inspire devotion and followers like rock stars. Every skill he learns, every clash he faces, is like mastering a new track in his personal magnum opus—a relentless pursuit of both power and identity in a world where survival demands constant improvisation. But Gaia is no fairy tale. Angels from the sister planet Trappist wreak havoc, labyrinths churn out Demon Lords and legends. Even Xiro’s allies, like his brilliant younger brothers and rivals, push him to his limits while being infected by Xiro's unique former world's culture. Alongside battles with Goblins, Ogres, Dragons, Trappers, and otherworldly threats, Xiro’s story explores the theme of Free Will vs Destiny. For readers sick of cookie-cutter protagonists and bland magical worlds, The 13th Kingdom: Reincarnation combines intense battles, complex magic, and an intricate world filled with dark histories, legendary beings, and a looming prophecy. As he unravels Gaia’s mysteries, Xiro proves that creativity, ambition, and a strong soul can cut through even the darkest fates.

Wheel of Desires – To Kickstart A Revolution

Narrated by yours truly, Serpentine. Alright, listen up, fellow fourth-wall enthusiasts and meta-maniacs, because this isn't just any story—this is the story. A story of grit, chaos, betrayal, revolution, and crowdfunding. This is the tale of a once-mighty (and devilishly handsome) Ascended Demon – you guessed it, me – who dared to defy the universe itself to create something greater than Fate: an anime. Now, you might be wondering, “But Serpentine, aren’t you supposed to be a rogue cosmic entity tangled up in an interdimensional tournament orchestrated by the Primordials to achieve universal balance?” To which I’d say, “Yes. But have you seen the budget Primordials allocate to logistics? Absolutely criminal. Somebody had to step in and make sure the real priorities – like making a quality Wheel of Faith anime animated by Ufotable – got the attention they deserved.” The Kickstarter Chronicles isn’t just a book. It’s a revolution. It’s a declaration. It’s a movement (patent pending). Over 200 chaotic, hilarious, and occasionally heartfelt chapters, I’ll be gathering allies, facing impossible odds, and navigating the wild world of interdimensional politics. And all the while, I’ll be rallying you – yes, you, reader! –to support The Wheel of Faith campaign, the very foundation of this sprawling, multiverse-spanning saga. Want to meet canon characters from every corner of the Wheel? They're here. Want to see fan-submitted fighters duke it out with insane powers? Possibly. Want to join the chaos yourself?

This isn’t just a book you read. It’s a campaign you live. It’s about all of us coming together to build something extraordinary – while I dodge death beams, manage questionable alliances, and try not to completely unravel the fabric of the multiverse. Again. And don’t worry. No spoilers here. But let’s just say, by the end of this story, you’ll be (hopefully) laughing, crying, and maybe even reaching for your wallet. So what are you waiting for? Join the Wheel of Faith campaign today! --- Oh hey, I'm on Royal Road now. Follow [The Serpentine] on Royal Road for more!

Forced into the role of a VERY IMPORTANT 19th female role after such frivolous praises? Fine, I'll grit my teeth and endure it. Only granted three scenes to show the face of this so called IMPORTANT character? Fine, I'll turn a blind eye and do my best to leave an impression. Stabbed into the heart..

After Transmigrating, I Farmed Cabbages with the Amnesiac Prince

After transmigrating into the body of an orphaned refugee, Zhang Wanqing finds herself in a feudal society with no golden finger or grand system to rely on. Gritting her teeth, she moves into a decrepit temple and picks up a hoe and shovel, vowing to survive against all odds. She clears wasteland for farming, raises livestock and poultry, and even brings back a wolf cub from the mountains to raise. Eventually, she manages to scrape by. Later, the perfumes she creates take the markets of Luzhou by storm, and everyone respectfully addresses her as “Boss Zhang.” Despite her success, Zhang Wanqing never forgets her roots. She promotes agriculture, builds schools, and provides relief to refugees, earning widespread praise and admiration. But what should she do about the handsome yet silly young man who follows her around like a loyal puppy during her daily tasks? When she hoes the ground, he fetches water. When she feeds the chickens, he herds the sheep—seemingly oblivious to the mud dirtying his elegant azure silk robes. “Suhan Shan, the fields aren’t plowed yet—what’s the point of watering them?” Zhang Wanqing finally questions him, her bright almond eyes glaring in exasperation. The bashful young man blushes, scratching his head and apologizing, “Mother said the soil must be moist for plowing to go smoothly!” At first, it seemed like a perfectly ordinary remark. But Zhang Wanqing is suddenly reminded of the shadows and whispers beneath the red canopy last night. Her face flushes crimson, and she tosses her farming tools aside, fleeing into the house. Behind her, the silly young man stands in the garden, scratching his head in confusion.

The Karmic Comeback: Capture the Beast and Turn the Tides

After enduring three lifetimes of hardships and bloodshed, Bai Feiyin was promised with glitters and rainbows in her fourth life by none other than her contracted beast after it ascends. But before she could even achieve her goal, everything went down the drain as she decided not to fall victim into what...? A con-artist's trap?! "What a bull!" Thrown into a backward existence, she can only grit her teeth and pull a hankerchief in rage. Since she can't directly blame the gods, Bai Feiyin swear to get back with her so-called companion beast. "Argh! Y-you treacherous snake! I knew from the start that you couldn't be trusted! I should have roasted you when I saw you dying the first time we met, not signing that sham contract and work with you to ascend!" The anger in her system didn't subside. "You sent me back to my first life? For real? Wow, wow fantastic! What perfect shit!"  She specifically told him not in this life, that despicable man! "So you want to toy with me? Then be it! I will scour the mountains and hunt you down! I don't believe that I go back in time, you, my contracted beast won't go back as well," she uttered resolutely. Face beet red, burning in rage, she stared intently at the pigeon bloodstone inside her palms with a mark of a serpent's slitted eyes. "Those two other lives filled with war and bloodshed weren't lived in vain. Since you've sent me here, I will bury you along with those greedy pigs from the Bai Main Branch who owe me and my family four lifetimes' worth of debts!" Not long after she bemoaned, "Hmm, no hold on." Revealing a bit rather conflicted look, she tried to suppress her ire upon cooking up something like a shrewd mastermind. "On the second thought, just burying Hong with that regretfully good-looking face of his would be such a pity..." she pondered, but very soon snapped with glee. "Fine, it's a wrap! I will capture that little snake and work his ass like he did to me!" Bai Feiyin, looking like a greedy hyena, found her resolved with bright twinkling eyes that casted away the shadows under her swollen eyes. "Let's sell him off to some rich aunties and get lots of dowries!" *** This will include beastmen but in the form of spirit beasts. There's a hint of cultivation but just subtle that's why I didn't add it as a tag. Please support me thank you!
