After meeting an unfortunate death on earth, Sigrid unwillingly transmigrated into a novel world becoming Lady Sigrid Thorin the unwanted wife of the crown prince. She resigned herself to her fate and set a goal to become the empress. But to become the future empress, she had to gain the heart of her husband_the foul tempered Prince Roland Maximus a man that loathed her and would sooner kill her than kiss her.

The same woman Sigrid was on a mission to destroy, an irreconcilable enemy. With misunderstandings, scheming and jealousy, thus begun Sigrid's trials to win the heart of the man that had undeniably captivated her with his dazzling smile and her mission step over the fake female lead, be crowned empress and change her fate. Excerpt. "A knife to the throat of your husband that has just returned from war, what do you hope to accomplish crown princess?" Sigrid's eyes trailed down, to the silver blade pressed against her abdomen, she raised her head and laughed snidely. "A knife to the belly of your wife as soon as you return from war, other men start by saying, honey i am home. They also don't bring home unwanted canaries as presents for their wives." Roland leaned down with a part smug and part angry smoldering look in his eyes. It was if he wished to set her on fire, and not in the passionate way. "Honey i am home." he slowly said, dragging the words out. Sigrid trailed the knife slowly over his neck, almost as if she was caressing it with her fingers. "Welcome back, i hope you don't mind but i intend to kill that canary. If you want to bring me a gift next time, try gold and diamonds. I can also accept you, just wrap a ribbon around your bare chest."

Roland, crawling out of hell, returns to take revenge on his fiancée. At the same time, he also became the devil of this world, confronting the heroes.

The mightiest swordsman finds himself reborn as a disgraced outcast. Once revered as the Sword Saint, Roland stood unmatched in mastery and power. There was no battlefield he couldn't conquer, no adversary he couldn't overcome. But obsession with strength came at a steep price—a fatal betrayal by the one person he never thought would turn against him: his own brother, the last of his kin. Now, he awakens in a new life, inhabiting the body of Rylan, the Flameheart family's black mark of disgrace. Armed with unparalleled skills and a newfound clarity about what truly matters, Roland sees this second chance as an opportunity to rewrite his legacy. Family, loyalty, and honor—this time, he won’t cast them aside. Reaching the pinnacle of power again is within his grasp, but this time, he’s determined to climb that summit without losing himself.

In 2213, humanity faced an unimaginable nightmare. Monsters—horrifying, relentless, and otherworldly—began to emerge without warning, attacking everything in their path. Humanity’s best weapons proved useless against these creatures, and as cities and territories fell, nations were forced to unite in a desperate fight for survival. Amidst the chaos, some who were exposed to these creatures developed unique powers. They documented their newfound abilities in ancient-like books, which became crucial training tools for the military. When the immediate crisis eased, these ability books were made available to the public, offering a glimmer of hope and a way to fight back. The original ability-users, known as the “Pioneers,” formed their own factions, working alongside—but often apart from—the united government, which had reformed as a global military. These newfound abilities transformed society, sparking extraordinary technological advances and reshaping the world. Now, in 2225, 16-year-old Roland faces the start of his own journey. It’s his turn to attend the military academy, where every young person trains to defend humanity from the monsters. But Roland holds a mysterious book, left by his family, with secrets that may redefine his destiny—and perhaps even rewrite his past.

You won't understand it before you want to understand it. After living with the old cripple for eighteen years, Shu Guan discovered that cultivation was actually a simple matter. On the azure sea, a massive fleet of steel ships sailed against the wind and waves. Beneath the deep sea, a giant dragon opened its golden eyes and coldly looked up. Fighter jets roared, cutting through the clouds. Ahead, a large wing descended from the clouds, and a crane cried out in the vast sky. On the battlefield, artillery fire filled the sky, bullets flew, and amidst it all, sword energy could be faintly heard. This is a world where technology has risen, yet myths have not dissipated. The path to immortality has been severed, leaving only a solitary figure walking alone.

This Fanfic follows Chaz Roland. A pretty average 18 year old, 1st year University student who happens to be a huge One Piece fan in the year 20XX. Chaz reads the long awaited final chapter of the manga and wonders how his Adventure in the One Piece world would have been like to before falling asleep. He wakes up in a bright white room and in front of him is..."EICHIRO ODA!?!?" He is given the chance to experience the world of One Piece with his senses. Follow the Story of Chaz and how his actions affect the story of one of the biggest manga titles on Earth. Note: I feel this is going to be a really slow start, but that’s cause I want my story to be as intricate and logical as I can make it. Focusing on character development beyond strength. And also the system isn’t going to dictate the story or actions of the MC like other novels, it’s just going to be a way to keep track of information that some people(including myself) are interested in. Enjoy. [I do not own the rights One Piece, the characters or anything One Piece. All rights are reserved by Oda, Shueisha and all companies with signed legal license rights]

(MATURED CONTENT) Heidi's voice barely whispered, "I don't know who that is." Viktor's lips twitched, and he stepped closer, his eyes glinting with a malicious light. Heidi felt like prey, trapped by his towering figure. She instinctively retreated, but Viktor closed the distance again. His eyes narrowed at her movement. "Tell me, Heidi," he said, his voice smooth and calm. "Who do you fear most?" Heidi's back hit the wall, leaving her no escape. "Y-you, milord." she stammered. Viktor's wicked smile grew. "Then why do you lie to me, Heidi?" He leaned in, his breath dancing across her ear. "Making me want to do...bad things to you." Heidi swallowed hard. "B-bad things?" ------- It's a world where class and power had woven itself into the fabric of life.

Note: This is a slow burn fantasy romance book. Do not expect kissing or bed scenes in the first 40 chapters....at least. This is also a fantasy book, so if you see birds flying without wings or fishes walking on land, don't be surprised. it's all part of the plot.

However, perhaps there was some part of him that smirked at this opportunity, to gain control over his life with enough strength to face all that may come his way. Who protects this Reality, that Reality and everything in between? Can a mortal man spit upon the immortal obstacle that tightens its grasp to crush all beneath it? 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..."

But when Truck-Kun came rolling into his life (literally), fate had other plans. Instead of waking up as the protagonist of Stars Beyond Eternity, Elliot finds himself as… Elliot Crane, a character who wasn’t even in the novel.

Hemera is rejected by her one true love Crane. After that, she finds out a big truth which the Crescent moon pack has been hiding all this while and she is determined to find out the truth at any cost. Even if it means marrying a complete stranger, Elpis Kane, alpha of blood moon pack. “You never know. I might be of help.” I looked at him and inhale. He is right. he might know him. Besides there is no harm in trying. He will not actually figure out what I want to do. He looked at him with a little smile and goodness, it was so convincing. “I am looking for a certain alpha. I want him to ask me for a dance.” I spoke. I saw his eyebrows rise with doubt and surprise. He put his hand behind him. “Why? if I may ask” “It’s complicated.” “Try me.” I looked at him and he smiled. Well, what do I have to lose? “Well, he is the only one who can help me find the people I am looking for. I heard he is the most powerful alpha and is well gifted and connected. So, I need him.” Said to him. For some reason I trusted this person even if I should not. But he seems calm and powerful. Not one to talk much but one to do a lot. “So, you are going to use him?” “Don’t make sound bad if not I will feel bad.” He laughed making me laugh as well. “Besides, I am not just going to use him. I will trade something in return.” “Hmm.” He nodded with a smile. Goddess what is wrong with me? I should be looking for Elpis not talking to this guy I haven’t even heard of. “So, what are you doing here? You are meant to be downstairs dancing with him” he smiled at me. “I know that.” I said and rolled my eyes. “I looked for me everywhere but I couldn’t find him. I was told he was going to me that this party that is why I bothered to come.” I told him. I was disappointed. “And what might be this might alpha’s name?” he asked me. I was a little bit hesitant. “You never know. I might just be the angel that will send you to him.” I wasn’t sure if I should tell him. But then I thought about it, he was right. What if he knew him or what if I could reach him through him? Besides I couldn’t sense anything bad about him and my senses are never wrong. “Elpis Kane.” I told him, “Elpis Kane. Alpha of blood moon pack.” I told him. The smile on his face immediately went away. He kept on nodding and that gave me some kind of hope that maybe he knows him personally. But he dashed my hopes. All he said was “Hmm” and I smiled. I just grunted and went downstairs. I went down the stairs thinking. I was already two steps down to the ballroom when I felt someone hold my hand. I turn and I saw the same man. This time he had his mask on. “A dance you want? A dance you will get wolf.” He said with a small smile.

UPDATES EVERY FRIDAY! “His stomach lurched, and he quelled down all thoughts of retreating to the nearest and darkest alley. If he went through with this, he reminded himself, then he would have enough coin to buy a meal, perhaps even a warm bed for the night, or, if luck favoured him, enough to live comfortably for a week in the town’s least snobbish tavern.” As a bard, it’s fair to say Holsley is out of practice, not that it matters anyway since his legs turn to jelly whenever he’s forced to face a crowd. He has no money, no home, and no hope. Things are about to get a whole lot worse, however, after he learns that his childhood friend, Roland Darrow, is going to be executed in ten days’ time. Suddenly, it’s a race to find a way to save his roguish friend before he’s swinging by a rope, but unknown to him Roland is keeping some pretty big secrets — one’s worth dying for. Inspired by a love of Dungeons and Dragons and other TTRPG roleplaying games, The Pirate’s Ruby is light-hearted love letter to both adventure and fantasy, filled with references, fun characters, and outlandish scenarios lifted straight out of the game. If you love fantasy, adventure, or DnD, then chances are you might enjoy this too!

What kind of changes would occur if a history enthusiast Reborn in Napoleonic France.? With his feet crushing the formidable British Royal Navy and his fists striking down the vast Russian Tsarist Empire, he would look across the world and boldly proclaim: "All of Europe basks in the glory of France." Instead of saying the protagonist is Roland, who has traveled through time, it would be more accurate to say that the protagonist is Napoleon. Alternatively, the story has two protagonists, with Roland primarily providing support and assistance to Napoleon. Especially in the early stages, when the protagonist has just graduated from military school and is only a junior officer, he cannot influence the political or military situation.

His eyes widened in shock. His body seemed paralyzed even as it burned with lust. He swallowed hard and subconsciously licked his lips. Seeing his hesitation, she moved her shoulder just enough for her gown to slide a few inches off of it to reveal her pale creamy skin. Then she pulled at the ties to the neckline of her nightgown undoing the bow and loosening them enough to reveal a generous amount of the upper swells of her bountiful breasts. Seeing his interest, she then ran her slender fingers down her breasts, over her softly rounded stomach, and down her long legs. His eyes hungrily followed her every movement. Aware of his intense gaze devouring her, she pouted sexily and asked him “Or do you not find your bride attractive?” Rooted to the spot, his mouth opened and closed several times without making any sounds.

She laughed, her voice thick and sweet as honey. “I’m a virgin, but I’ve been instructed in the arts of the bedchamber.” She rose to her knees, dropping all pretense of being a shy blushing bride, and looked deeply into his eyes. “Do not worry, Husband. I have been an excellent student in both theory and practice.” He swallowed hard as his heart raised, his hands became clammy, and his groin tightened painfully. “That’s…that’s not what I meant.” He stammered sweating profusely. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ How will she survive being thrown into the Beast’s lair? Can this beauty tame the Beast and rule as Empress?
