Testi Charles Aznavour Lei

"Did I reincarnate as a doomed extra? Hell no! Time to rewrite this script!" Charles was just a college kid glued to his gaming console until he woke up as Rian Cole, the punching bag of the ruthless Storm Clan. His power? Zapping things with electricity! But, to Charles’ dismay, Rian’s body has a mind of its own, short-circuiting every time he tries to throw a punch. In the original story, Rian Cole was cursed with wild, uncontrollable electric powers. Shunned, beaten, and tossed aside as cannon fodder to buy time for the clan leader battling the world’s hero. But Charles isn’t here to play the victim. With no system, no cheats, and a body that seems to prank him at every turn, Charles is ready to prove a "nobody" can flip the game board. The clan despises him, rivals underestimate him, and the battle arenas want him six feet under. But amid the chaos, they show up: girls as stunning as they are deadly, joining his wild ride. First, a stepsister with an angelic face and viper-like schemes, all under the guise of "protecting" him. Second, a quirky warrior who fights hard and teases harder, keeping Charles on his toes in ways he can’t keep track of. The third and fourth girls? You’ll have to read to find out. The ecchi is sizzling, and the harem’s brewing, even if Charles can barely stay upright! WARNING: The story kicks off fast with back-to-back battles, but it won’t always be a slugfest. (There’s downtime for romance and laughs to shine.) Despite the Murim-style outfits and ranks, this tale unfolds in a modern world like ours, packed with elemental powers, magic, and innate abilities. Explicit +18 scenes spark up after chapter 100, clearly marked with a (+18) tag. And yeah, the story dives into fetishes—think feet, butts, boobs, and more... NO NTR. NO YURI. DAILY UPDATES!!

On a vast continent where the forces of light and darkness exist in a delicate balance, there lies the legendary Stone of Destiny—the Law Stone. This mysterious gem seals the rift between chaos and order, preserving the balance of the world, and stands as the last relic of the ancient gods. The Stone is both a blessing and a curse: it grants its bearer unparalleled power, yet demands that they bear the heavy burden of safeguarding the world. The story’s heroine, Eleanor, was once an ordinary university student in the 21st century. By a strange twist of fate, she is transported into a novel’s world, where she becomes a gifted yet inwardly fragile apprentice at the prestigious Arcane Academy. A sudden invasion by demonic forces changes her destiny forever. Through a series of coincidences, Eleanor becomes the bearer of the Stone of Destiny, forced to shoulder both the hopes and the curse of an entire world. The Stone’s power rapidly elevates her to one of the most formidable beings in existence—but at the cost of her soul, which begins to succumb to encroaching darkness. Under the threat of the King of the Abyss, the fallen god who leads the demon legions, the world’s order begins to crumble. Once a deity, the Abyss King now seeks to use the Stone’s power to tear apart the barrier between chaos and order, plunging the world into an endless abyss of darkness. Eleanor must choose between destruction and salvation. Beside her stand two men, both drawn into this vortex of destiny: Raynor: her childhood friend and sworn protector, a swordsman of unshakable honor and courage. He believes with all his heart that Eleanor can conquer the darkness, even as she grows more distant and the Stone’s power changes her. No matter what, he remains by her side. Ronquis: the Academy’s coldest and most rational archmage, a master strategist who sees through the essence of all power. He is wary of the disaster the Stone may bring and stands ready to do the unthinkable—end Eleanor’s path if necessary, to preserve the world. As the Stone’s power continues to awaken, Eleanor struggles between light and shadow, love and solitude, freedom and destiny. In the final battle against the King of the Abyss, she fully accepts the Stone’s power, using her will to redefine the true purpose of strength. She shatters the Stone’s curse—that every bearer must be consumed—and chooses to merge her soul with the Stone, becoming the guardian of a new world order. Yet her victory marks only the beginning of a new chapter. The awakening of the Stone sends ripples through the world, stirring ancient gods and long-slumbering powers. Eleanor’s choice becomes the prelude to an even grander epic.

Eduarda, uma jovem guarda da ONU busca reformular como o mundo funciona, de seu jeito. Mas, até lá, ela e seus companheiros enfrentarão desafios...

Emily Smith, a 22-year-old history student from a university in Los Angeles, accidentally travels back to 13th-century England. She unknowingly enters a strange "Fate Correction System" and is sent into an ancient legend as the female lead. According to the system, the original owner of this world shares the same name as Emily. She was an unloved noblewoman, and according to fate, she was supposed to have a one-night affair with the most powerful Duke of England, Edmund de Montfort, on a full moon night. This led to an unexpected pregnancy and her expulsion from her family. Five years later, she was to return with her genius son, going through some struggles before reconciling with the Duke, eventually being treated like a queen. However, due to a system malfunction, the original owner learned about her fate in advance and deliberately avoided the Duke, disrupting the balance of the world. Therefore, Emily was tasked with fixing this. The system arranged for Emily to be sent to the night when she was supposed to meet the Duke — after a grand castle banquet. According to the plan, she would mistakenly enter the wrong room after drinking wine laced with aphrodisiac herbs. An hour later, as the system watched Emily lying on the bed, flushed with color, it asked, "Host, when will you carry out your mission?" Emily replied slowly, "Wait, let me first get used to the clothes of this era... This corset is killing me." Five hours later, the system, seeing Emily finally get up, urged, "Host, it’s not too late! The Duke is in the tower next door, his door isn’t locked because of a broken lock. You need to go now!" Emily casually pushed open the door next door, and found herself face to face with Edmund de Montfort, the Duke, who was handling estate matters under candlelight. The system was excited: "Go for it, Host!" Edmund furrowed his brow, coldly saying, "Who are you? How dare you break into my private chamber?" Emily looked at the plate of delicate honey cakes on his desk and couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. "I’m your wife, five years from now." "I’ve answered your question. Can I have a reward now? A piece of cake, the one on your left, it looks so sweet." Edmund hesitated for a moment before nodding and ringing a bell to summon a servant. "Bring another plate of honey cakes, the best ones." The system: "…" Edmund couldn’t forget the mysterious woman who had broken into his room. At a grand royal ball, they met again. This time, Emily was drunk and staggered over, hugging him tightly and refusing to let go. Edmund smirked: "Is this some trick of ‘catching me by pretending to be weak’?" Before long, Emily’s little brother appeared, apologizing and trying to pull her away. "Sorry, Duke de Montfort, my sister recently... um... has a strange condition where she believes she's a forest animal and wants to hug tall people for warmth." Edmund was silent for a moment. "It’s fine. I’ll reluctantly endure it." Little brother: "Are you sure?" Edmund: "Yes." An hour later… "Miss Emily, could you wake up?" "My legs are numb." "…" After giving up on Emily for a while, the system returned to fix the aftermath. But it discovered something unexpected: Emily’s biased noble parents were no longer biased and had completely turned into doting parents. The originally villainous younger brother did not go down an evil path but instead became the most popular court poet. The original cannon fodder female antagonist had become Emily's sister, and they were running a business together in harmony. As for the male lead, Duke Edmund, he had long since embraced his beautiful wife, pampering her like a treasure. The entire medieval world ran smoothly with no signs of collapse. System: "How did she do it? By eating, sleeping, and modern-day ideas??" Modern American girl’s laid-back life vs. the high-and-cold Duke’s broken persona. The original world fell apart, and in the new world, everyone got a fresh start.

When Lei Xing booked a luxurious cruise as a graduation present to herself, she expected to have plenty of well-deserved rest and relaxation with an ocean view before jumpstarting her career. What she did not expect was to be the unlucky person who would fall overboard to a miserable watery death… or so she thought. To her astonishment, she opened her eyes to find herself in an ancient setting, a different body, and a new life as the eldest daughter of a high court official. {...Okay, at least I'm rich...I can still live happily and freely, it's still a golden opportunity at a second life. I can live it well~...maybe go travelling, start a business, or something…It definitely could be worse...} To Lei Xing’s horror, her new host was scheduled to enter the palace to compete in the concubine selection for the new Emperor. {...What?! I am definitely not interested! Of all places, it’s that viper pit! I’m not built for any Royal BS or harem fights. Please keep your scheming lives to yourselves and leave me the hell out of it, NOT INTERESTED!!!... Can I not go, please? T_T)...No? Nevermind then, failure is always an option... Failure is the only possible outcome. Bring it on! Hahahaha…} While Lei Xing was making plans on how to skip out of town, fate was also very busy working out its own plans for her, mapping out its own course for her life behind the scenes... Poking holes in her plans to her confusion and outrage. "...Little chicken, as long as I'm alive you won't die." "Nonsense, if anyone is going to cause my death, it would be you!!" *** "Do you really feel nothing after all this time?" He asked as he looked at her with searching eyes, trying to see into her soul... "...Who...would..." she mumbled under her breath... *** "When things go against nature, there will always be a price that must be paid..." |||~~~~~~~~~~~||| Author's Note~~ Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the read as you go along!

The world collapsed. Then the system began to speak. People gained stats, zombies filled the streets, and cities sank into silence. But this wasn’t an apocalypse—it was preparation. William survived with nothing but the ashes of his lost family. The system gave him power. He leveled up. But he soon realized: This wasn’t just a world. And the system... wasn’t just his. Ley energy is corroding. A shadowed will is watching everything. And the protocol… has yet to be fully revealed. Surviving was only the first task. Now comes the understanding. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you like it, please don't forget to add it to your library, I need it to make a contract! --- 7 CH/WEEK (minimum)

At the start, he participates in the Tamer Awakening Ceremony, with thousands of pets of varying qualities. Which one should he choose? Fortunately, he has awakened a system that allows him to see hints that only he can perceive. "Hint: 【The Double Sword Praying Mantis】, Lv1, decent skills but low quality, insufficient for later stages..." "Hint: 【The Four-Winged Tiger】, Lv1, strong and robust but timid, may abandon its master and run away..." "Hint: 【The Frost Wolf】, Lv5, Gold quality, extremely rare with both Ice and Fire attributes..." Charles: "I want to make a contract with the Frost Wolf!" Teacher: "The success rate for the first contract is 100%, which is very rare. Are you sure about your choice?" Guild: "This Frost Wolf is weak and has poor combat ability. Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?" Charles: "No need to reconsider. It’s the one!"

a world once ruled by gods, dragons, and mortals living in fragile harmony, everything collapsed. The skies burned. Kingdoms crumbled. Mountains of corpses — humans, dragons, and divine alike — marked the end of an era. Betrayed. Hunted. Exterminated. Humanity was wiped out by those they once worshipped. But fate had other plans. Lei awakens, not as a simple human, but reborn in the body of a Deicide — a being created to slay gods and destroy dragons. Except… there’s a problem. No powers. No memories. Just an insane smile, a sharp tongue, and a thirst for chaos. Kind-hearted. Foolish. Wildly dangerous. Lei is a contradiction — a joker when he wants, a nightmare when you cross him. His goal is simple: “If the gods want me dead… then I’ll kill them first.” Bound by blood, fueled by vengeance, Lei’s journey begins in the frozen ruins of the world. Survive. Grow. Kill. Laugh. And tear down the heavens themselves. don't exist like put in your library vote or leave a little comment it will help me to write more

Tierra del Olvido sin Ley En un mundo arrasado por el abandono de Dios, las leyes de la humanidad han desaparecido y el caos gobierna. La tierra desolada y gobernada por facciones y fuerzas místicas, parece un lugar sin esperanza. Tras descubrir el abandono de Dios, la humanidad no tardó en derrumbarse bajo su propio peso. Ya no había mandamientos ni profetas, ni temor al juicio ni esperanza de redención. El cielo, antes faro de moral y consuelo, se tornó un abismo mudo. Y con el silencio divino llegó la anarquía. Sin ley ni piedad, el mundo se fragmentó en tierras desoladas donde el caos es la única ley y la esperanza, un mito olvidado. Las antiguas civilizaciones, alguna vez guiadas por principios sagrados, se disolvieron en un mar de guerras destructivas, hambre insaciable y oscuridad espiritual. El orden colapsó. La justicia fue reemplazada por fuerza bruta, y la verdad por superstición. En los rincones más oscuros, entidades colosales (encerradas durante eras por los pactos divinos) despertaron y caminaron nuevamente entre los hombres. Lo que queda ahora son facciones enfrentadas, cultos profanos, criaturas olvidadas y una tierra viva que castiga tanto al inocente como al culpable. Las antiguas biblias fueron quemadas, los templos profanados, y la fe reemplazada por el filo de la espada y la sed de poder. En medio de este paisaje roto y sin redención camina Zorok, un joven guerrero forjado en el fuego de la pérdida y la batalla. No conoce otra vida que la del combate. Cada día es una lucha por no morir; cada noche, una guerra interna contra los recuerdos, la culpa y el vacío. Sin una causa, sin fe, sin futuro, su existencia es una cadena de sangre, acero y silencio. Pero cuando el eco de una profecía olvidada comienza a despertar (una que habla de un guerrero que no será ni santo ni demonio, sino juicio encarnado) Zorok empieza a percibir que su vida, rota y desprovista de propósito, podría ser parte de algo mayor. Algo que trascienda la destrucción. Con enemigos colosales, aliados inciertos y dioses caídos que aún susurran desde las sombras, Zorok deberá decidir si será simplemente otro espectro en la historia... o la chispa final que encenderá la rebelión contra el olvido divino. Porque aunque los dioses se hayan ido… la última palabra aún no ha sido escrita.

[BL— Warning: Adult content 18+. Extreme Smut every 20 - 30 chapters] "You," Augustine began, his voice firm and direct. "I'm making you an offer: we get married, immediately. This isn't a request, it's a demand." Augustine's uttered with a piercing gaze. Charles scoffed. “What type of bullshit is that?” He fired back. *** Augustine Wales is a cold CEO who is known as the most successful and influential business man in Country H. His name alone commanded respect, his steely gaze and cold demeanor strike fear into even the most hardened of hearts. He was a man of few words, each syllable weighted with the power of his position. On the eve of Augustine Wales 29th birthday, he received an unexpected call from his family, their demands clear and uncompromising: find a spouse, or forfeit your stake in the family's vast wealth and influence. In that very moment after receiving the phone call, the gaze of Augustine fell upon a young man named Charles Donald and without thinking twice, Augustine immediately made a proposal to Charles, but was met with a swift rejection. Augustine's proposal was rooted in desperation but little did he know that fate was drawing him toward a future he never could have predicted. "What will happen when Augustine Wales, the powerful CEO, finds himself unexpectedly falling for Charles Donald, a humble cleaner in his office?" "When Charles' deadly secrets rise to the surface, will their fragile bond shatter, or will their love prove strong enough to weather the storm?"

It begins, paradoxically, with silence. Not the peaceful kind that settles over a sleepy town or the ominous hush before a storm, but a silence so absolute that it felt as though existence itself had forgotten to breathe. Within that silence floats a man—Lei—not standing, not falling, simply existing in a suspended limbo. Or perhaps not existing at all. Lei was never meant to be in this world. A physicist obsessed with paradoxes, entropy, and the structure of reality, he lived an obscure life in a modern universe—an intelligent man with no notable achievements, consumed by insomnia, cheap coffee, and theoretical impossibilities. That is, until the Neviya Collapse Paradox tore open the very framework of reality and pulled him across the veil. He wakes in Virelya—a strange, ancient world where mysticism and logic are two sides of the same coin. A world ruled not by mere magic but by a grand system of Threadweavers, beings who shape the world through the “threads” of existence itself. And Lei… is one of them. Somehow.

But the truth is dangerous, and some memories were stolen for a reason. Can she uncover the past before the lies consume her?

Lexi a cheerful and an outgoing girl had a dream one day and found out she wasn't human but a hybrid, a daughter of a Hedge-witch and Masota. Everyone around her weren't human too.

OmniClass Awakener: Rebirth to Power (Moved to a New Link) https://www.webnovel.com/book/omniclass-awakener-rebirth-to-power_33044065708300805 Lei Feng was just an ordinary university student—until a deadly train robbery ended his life. But death wasn’t the end. He awakens in a new world where ancient magic clashes with futuristic technology, where Awakeners wield unimaginable powers, and monstrous beasts roam the wilds. Reborn in the body of Ling Chen—an orphan cast aside by his adoptive family for failing to awaken a Magic Class—Lei Feng is beaten, betrayed, and left for dead.

Amidst the storm, Lei Feng will rise. From the ashes of weakness, he will be reborn. From the chains of fate, he will break free. And in the face of overwhelming odds, he will carve his name into legend. The battle for legacy, vengeance, and supremacy begins now.

Veltharion is a city choking on its own corruption—a gilded cage where magic dictates life and death. The Arcanum Lords rewrite laws with blood-inked quills, the Church preaches blind devotion to the all-consuming **Machine**, and those without power, the "Nulls," are erased like scribbled mistakes. Yet **Charles II**, the infamous *Mysterious Lord*, walks untouched through the rot. A wealthy Null aristocrat with a mind like shattered glass, he solves occult crimes that terrify even mages. His past is a void: no records of his birth, no memories of his parents, only whispers of a shadow that moves when he stands still. When the **still-beating heart of a dead sorcerer** materializes in a rain-slicked alley—oozing ink instead of blood, whispering *"The Machine remembers you"*—Charles is thrust into a labyrinth of horrors. Hollow-eyed assassins stalk his steps, children scream prophecies in forgotten tongues, and his own reflection ages backward in broken mirrors. With only two fractured allies—**Zara, a warrior whose scars bleed forgotten battles**, and **Rahul, a thief haunted by memories that aren’t his**—Charles races to unravel a conspiracy rewriting reality itself. The deeper he digs, the clearer the nightmare becomes: his erased past holds the key to a war that unmade kingdoms. And if he uncovers it, **the truth will bleed**.

Charles must fight to prove that he is truly ready to move forward, while Naya must face it with patience and conviction. Through a journey full of challenges and tests, they both learn that love is not just about finding happiness, but about having the courage to choose each other, even though the world is often doubtful.
