The Legacy Blade

In the verdant valley of Eldoria, where the mountains whisper ancient secrets and the forests hold the echoes of forgotten tales, **Leaf Ironwood** stands on the cusp of his eighteenth birthday, unaware that his life is about to change forever. Raised on a humble farm by his resilient mother, **Liora**, Leaf knows little of the world beyond his daily toils and the stories of heroes and magic that seem like mere legends. On the eve of his birthday, Leaf receives a mysterious inheritance from his late father: a sword that glows with an ethereal light and an old, leather-bound book filled with cryptic maps and riddles. This inheritance is not just a gift but a call to adventure, a legacy that beckons Leaf into the heart of Eldoria's most guarded secrets. As Leaf embarks on his journey, guided by the sword's ancient power and the book's enigmatic clues, he encounters a realm teeming with danger and wonder. From the shadowy depths of enchanted forests to the peak of the sky-touching mountains, he faces trials that test his courage, wit, and the strength of his resolve. Along the way, companions join his quest, each with their own tales and skills, like **Dain Ironfist**, a gruff but wise dwarf blacksmith, and **Mira Starwind**, a mage with a penchant for mischief and a heart full of secrets. The Legacy Blade, as Leaf discovers, is not just a weapon but a key to unlocking his family's hidden history, a history intertwined with the fate of Eldoria itself. Enemies from the shadows seek to claim the blade for their dark purposes, forcing Leaf to delve deeper into his father's past, confront ancient evils, and perhaps, find his own place among the legends of old. "The Legacy Blade" is a tale of discovery, of a young man's journey from the simplicity of farm life to the complexities of a world where magic and destiny collide. It's a story of battles fought not just with steel but with heart, where the legacy one leaves behind is as important as the path one walks. Leaf Ironwood's adventure is a testament to the idea that sometimes, the greatest heroes are those who never sought the title, but by fate, are chosen to carry the torch into the unknown.

Arcane Rift: Balancing the Multiversal Realms

In a twist of cosmic irony, an ordinary boy from Earth awakens to find himself transmigrated into not one, but three separate universes simultaneously: a blockbuster movie franchise, a legendary game world, and a best-selling book series. But there’s a catch. In each universe, he is cast as a background extra—an overlooked figure with no apparent significance. In one world, he is a divine, impossibly beautiful girl with a towering figure, her body graced by breasts starting at an incredible two meters and destined to grow to an awe-inspiring four meters in total, with an ethereal form radiating hypnotic allure. And, to top it off, Dante possesses the fattest ass with the thickest body and curves that defy mortal comprehension. However, fate had bigger plans. Both he and the main protagonist of each universe are granted access to the Omnipotent System, a tool meant to empower the chosen heroes. With this power, they can level up, adapt, and rewrite reality itself. But where the protagonist follows their destined heroic path, he stands as an unpredictable anomaly, capable of rivaling the main characters and reshaping the narrative. To complicate matters, the universes themselves are interconnected yet distinct. Each storyline unfolds in its own book—one centered on the cinematic epic of ancient wars, the other on a dystopian game world filled with danger and intrigue. Both universes blend elements of the third—a magical, eldritch-infused realm from the book series—into their separate narratives, creating a layered, multi-dimensional saga. As the boy battles his own struggles across the universes, building alliances, rivalries, and uncovering the true purpose of his dual existence, he faces a question: Will he stand as a savior reshaping fractured worlds into harmony, or will his presence as an anomaly spiral them into chaos?

The Reincarnated Villain Can Break the Fourth Wall!

In his first life as 'Caine Wilson', was the villain—ruthless, cunning, and very powerful. He played his part perfectly, crushing the so-called "protagonist" and parading his enemies, their families, and anyone who crossed him naked through the streets. He watched with glee as the "hero" lay broken, stripped of his dignity, before finally ending his pitiful existence. But just as Caine, thought he had finally won and secured his place at the top, 'Higher ups' intervened. A booming, ethereal voice—like the universe’s pissed-off judge—shook the skies: "You have violated the sacred code of villainy! The villain shall not win. The balance has been broken. Caine Wilson, the world hereby rejects you!" Before he could even enjoy his victory, his world blinked out, like a story whose writer just erased the last chapter in frustration. Everything went dark. And when he awoke, he wasn’t Caine Wilson anymore. He was 'Su Xiaobai', a nobody on 'White Cloud Star', a world of cultivation, martial arts, and endless struggle. But this time, things were different. He could feel it—he could see through the cracks of reality itself. He could break the fourth wall! He wasn’t just some reincarnated soul; he was a villain who had 'seen the system', who understood the game. And he was about to flip it upside down. --------------- A/N: Volume 1 (50-60 chapters) sees Su Xiaobai fumbling through an identity crisis, lost like a drunk immortal in a brothel. By Volume 2, he’s rooted, focused, and ready to shake the heavens—one reckless move at a time. Stay tuned and add it to your library; the game is just beginning! --------------- Discord: https://discord.gg/dsc4fftBeF **Cover Page is not owned by Author**

Skill Forge: Broken Extra Character

Amidst the eerie silence of an unfamiliar hall, a cacophony of confused voices rose, mingling in a chorus of bewilderment. "Where are we?" "What happened?" "I thought I died!" Each utterance hung in the air, a testament to the collective disbelief gripping the room. As the haze of confusion lifted, disjointed memories surfaced, fragments of lives cut short by tragedy. "I remember... I was stabbed..." ventured one voice, echoed by another's affirmation of a similar fate. "I... I died in a plane crash," muttered a third, only to be met with a stunned agreement from a fellow survivor. Amidst the chaos of bewildered voices, one man stood apart, his expression a mask of contemplation amidst the turmoil. As his companions recounted their brushes with death, his mind churned with questions, each more confounding than the last. "I got shot... I remember it vividly," he murmured to himself, his voice barely audible above the din. "So how am I still here?" The enigma of their shared resurrection gnawed at him, compelling him to seek answers in the depths of his memories. With each revelation of a paired demise—a male and female, bound by the same tragic fate—a flicker of recognition ignited within him. "This... this seems familiar," he mused, the pieces of a puzzle slowly coalescing in his mind. But the picture remained incomplete, obscured by the fog of uncertainty that shrouded their surroundings. As the words "pairs, pairs, pairs" echoed in his mind like a cryptic mantra, a sudden realization struck him with the force of a revelation. "It can't be... don't tell me..." he whispered, his voice trembling with disbelief. With a sense of urgency, he began to scan his surroundings, searching for any sign or clue that could confirm his suspicions. Then, as if guided by an unseen force, his gaze shifted upwards, and there, bathed in an ethereal light, stood an angelic figure with golden apparel, its gaze fixed upon him with a warm smile. The sight took his breath away, filling him with a mixture of awe and trepidation. The man's heart raced as faced a real angel, his mind struggling to comprehend the surreal encounter unfolding before him. The angel's words, spoken with an air of amusement, only deepened the enigma shrouding their meeting. "I never expected anyone to notice me," the angel remarked, a hint of playfulness in its voice. "I was concealing my presence to let everyone fully calm down, but to think someone noticed me. Just who are you?" Ethan's disbelief and confusion intensified at the angel's question. "Eh... Ethan Rivers," he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. As Aurelia, the angel, finally revealed himself to the bewildered assembly, a hush fell over the room, each soul drawn in by his radiant presence and commanding aura. Ethan's gaze lingered on Aurelia. "Greetings, lost souls," Aurelia declared, his voice resonating with a majestic power that seemed to fill the very air around them. "I am Aurelia, and I shall be your guide to your new life." As Aurelia extended his arms in a gesture of welcome, Ethan felt a surge of rage and hesitation, "This it bad, really bad."

The Undead's Personal Slave

Samantha never expected to find magic in her hometown, let alone in a dimly lit bar on a rainy Tuesday night. Yet here she was, perched on a barstool at the Black Swan, her world about to tilt on its axis. The air thrummed with an otherworldly energy she couldn't quite place. Ethereal dancers moved like smoke across the floor, their bodies fluid and mesmerizing. As Samantha nursed her drink, she felt the weight of curious stares prickling her skin. That's when she saw him. Marcus. A name she didn't know yet, but one that would soon be etched into her very soul. Their eyes locked across the crowded room, and Samantha's breath caught in her throat. He moved with predatory grace, all lean muscle and barely restrained power. Their first interaction was as intoxicating as it was bewildering. One moment, he was her gallant protector, rescuing her from an overly aggressive drunk. The next, his eyes hardened to chips of ice as he snarled, "Stupid girl," before melting into the shadows. Samantha's mind reeled, but her body hummed with an excitement she couldn't explain. Little did she know, this encounter was merely the first step into a world beyond her wildest fantasies – a realm where vampires ruled the night and pain blurred exquisitely with pleasure. As she delved deeper into this hidden society, Samantha found herself drawn to the intoxicating blend of power, submission, and supernatural allure. The crack of a whip, the whisper of leather, the exquisite sting of fangs – each sensation pushed her boundaries and ignited desires she never knew existed. But with every ecstatic high came the sobering reality of danger. Vampire politics were as deadly as they were intricate, and Samantha soon realized she was a pawn in a game where the stakes were life, death, and eternal servitude. As she left the Black Swan that night, Samantha couldn't shake the feeling that she stood on the precipice of something life-changing. She had no idea how right she was, or how deeply she would fall into a passionate, dangerous dance with forces beyond her imagination. The real question was: in this world where pleasure and peril intertwined so intimately, would she emerge empowered... or lose herself completely?

Battle Against Fate

Battle Against Fate In the boundless expanse of the Primordial Heaven Continent, where mountains kissed the skies and rivers carried the whispers of legends, the strong reigned supreme while the weak struggled for survival. This was a land where cultivation dictated one’s destiny, and the pursuit of power defined the lives of countless souls. Among the towering sects, ancient clans, and hidden factions, tales of geniuses rising to prominence and changing the fate of nations were common. Yet, in the shadows of these grand stories lay the forgotten—those born without talent, shunned by their own kin, and left to carve their own paths through sheer will and determination. Seventeen years ago, in the esteemed Yan Clan of Ethereal Sky City, a child was born under a waning moon. Yan Zi, the youngest son of Elder Yan Hong, came into the world amidst hope but grew up under the weight of disappointment. Despite his diligent efforts, his meridians refused to awaken, branding him as "trash" in a world where strength was the ultimate currency. The Yan Clan, known for producing prodigious cultivators like Yan Ling and Yan Xingtian—shining stars of the younger generation—had no place for someone like Yan Zi. Yet, amidst the disdain and neglect, a burning desire flickered within him. A desire to prove that one’s fate was not bound by birth. Unknown to the world, Yan Zi’s journey was about to intertwine with forces far greater than himself. A forgotten legacy, an ancient secret buried in time, and a power that defied the natural laws of cultivation would soon set him on a path unlike any other. As storms brewed on the horizon and the continent moved toward chaos, Yan Zi’s story would rise from the ashes of humiliation and despair, challenging the very fabric of the heavens. In this tale of perseverance, betrayal, and destiny, one question loomed above all: Could a “trash” defy the heavens and carve his name into the annals of history? Thus began the battle that would test his faith, break his limits, and forge him into a legend. This is Battle Against Fate.

Melanie left for Dutch,never thinking of having revenge,just to focus on herself and find her part again since Cupid deserted her.. deep down she knew she won't survive long and would run back to Ethan,she knew going back to him,is an act of stupidity,she didn't want to look vulnerable or desperate,she really tried to hate him,but her heart betrayed her,her heart said no.. "Ethan what have you done to me?"

Serpent of Silver Flames

'Alarys Military Academy welcomes all the candidates to its doors. I would like to thank all the Kruvaryans for dispatching their youth to us. I may remind you again that this is not a sacrifice but a step towards the eternal prosperity of Kruvarys. Do your Army proud, so you do your Kingdom proud.' Alarys Military Academy was nothing more than a slaughterhouse and Gwen was one of the many sacrificial goats who were forcefully shoved into the entry trials this year. To live, she must survive. To live, she must bond with one of the fire-breathers. But even if she did survive the trials, she had to survive the military academy filled with the offspring of the generals who destroyed the lives of everyone in their Kingdom. However, later she figured out that she had more life-threatening problems in hand. In the Academy, a different sort of mystery awaited her and she couldn't help but think that there was something more sinister about the Military Academy than what met the eye. Bound with her enemy and the Governor General's handsomely infuriating son, Damian Thorndyke, she had to figure out the links between the magic of the lands and the sinister incidents that happened in the Academy every year. All her life, Gwen was considered an outcast for not having a magical moon stone just like every human on the lands. But now that she had the magic she yearned for, why did it seem like the magic in their lands was more of a curse than a blessing? ——— "You are no princess, Gwen," his fingers brushed her cheek as his twilight eyes bore into hers, "You are wild. A breathtakingly ethereal, murderous little venom. You bow to no one. And when I look at you? I am terrified. Terrified of the things that I would do for you."
