"Now, go forth, my mortal champion! Conquer this world—or else!" I lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving me a second chance in another world. There, I became royalty—the lazy kind with almost no obligations, free to live in peace and luxury for the rest of my days. Sounds like a dream, right? In reality, it was anything but—because I became *BEE* royalty. A Drone Bee, doomed to die of old age in 2 months! (A humanoid bee, thankfully, but still a bee in all the ways that matter.) The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony—a deadly task in a vicious world like this one. There are murderous insect monsters, colossal beasts trampling the earth, other civilizations, natural disasters, and the bitchy patron goddess who absolutely hates me. But as long as I have my brains, my bees, and the powerful genes my system gives me, my Bee Empire will be unstoppable! === Note: no NTR, harem, incest, or outright smut.

He was... immersed, to say the least in his own little world, which gave him leverage in the reality of the world. He barely managed to enter the State University of what he wants.

Reincarnated as a dragon. Branded a failure. Left for dead. In a world where power is absolute, Hibana is cast aside—too weak, too small, unworthy of even being called a dragon. He should have died. He was meant to die. But the world is wrong. The gods are wrong. The weak do not exist to be trampled. Fate is not set in stone.

She was a girl, but she was disguised as a boy for some reason. Everyone was also after her wrist... to hack it off and take the bracelet she wore, which was actually a high-level spiritual item that concealed her gender. Everyone included her own brothers. Her brothers were fighting and killing each other, tearing the dynasty apart in the process... and she happened to be caught in the crossfire. Mercy?

In her mind, she assured her: Don't worry. Since I've reincarnated in your body, I shall avenge you. Your death will not be senseless! After those words, the old Beiting Huang's emotions faded.

Ye Xian awakened to a new life, his soul inexplicably fused with the memories of a man who had perished a thousand years ago—Adler, a warrior who had endured unfathomable betrayal, agony, and loss. Visions of a cruel past flooded his mind: comrades turning against him, the brutal murder of a beloved woman, and the despair of being left for dead. Though the memories were not his own, the pain felt real. The rage, the sorrow, the thirst for vengeance—they burned within him, threatening to consume his very being. Yet within his grasp, he held a heaven-defying treasure—a relic of unfathomable power, capable of overturning fate itself. It pulsed with ancient energy, whispering secrets of untold strength.

We should've prepared for it. The obvious signs were already showing. A continent splitted in half due to an earthquake. The sea rises up, submerging many cities. Stampedes of wild animals trampling the community like they were running from something. All of it was showing yet we took it as granted and stated that it was just ‘normal’. Some said this was punishment. Some said that this was the preparation for God’s descendance. Some said the world was gradually being destroyed. But a single voice made all of this speculation wrong. It all echoed inside our heads. [The evolution of world E#0126 has begun.] And so the age of Apocalypse dawned in our world.
