Wei Chi transmigrated to the Nine Continents of the Celestial Realm. Initially, he was prepared to just be an honest third son of a family. However, after a turn of events, he had no choice but to inherit an entire divine cultivation plan. From then onward, his vibe changed a little. When he saw a girl with decent talents, he immediately asked, “Girl, are you interested in divine cultivation?” In the blink of an eye, 10 million years had passed. Numerous top-class empresses flew through the sky and showed up in front of Wei Chi. Wei Chi wailed and yelled, “I really don’t have any more cultivation methods!” “Please stop coming here!” “You’re all grown-ups now!”

Marek Draganov’s village got absolutely clapped by a giant dirt worm. One second he was chopping wood, the next—boom, everything gone. He barely made it out alive, running into some random cave to die in peace. But surprise: the cave had a dragon soul chilling inside. Now Marek’s stuck sharing a body with Velkaroth, some ancient fire-breathing lizard with a god complex and way too much attitude. Marek doesn’t want power. He just wants to eat bread in peace. Too bad the dragon’s like, “Let’s conquer stuff” while Marek’s like, “Bro I haven’t even showered in three days.” So what’s the plan? Find out why this angry dragon was locked in a cave. Figure out how to get it out of his soul without dying. Find his missing brother. --- “You think this dragon is my curse? No. It’s my burden and my power. And I will carry it—even if it burns me to ashes.” “Why was it sealed in that cave? What darkness forced it down there? I will uncover every secret—no matter the cost." “And when the time comes, I will destroy the dragon inside me. Not because I’m afraid of it… but because I refuse to let it control who I am.” --- Tags: Action, Fantasy, Harem, Comedy, Monster World, Overpowered Ability, Weak to Strong, Gen Alpha Humor, Survival, Slow Burn Romance

Magic is the programming language of the world. But in a fantasy world, nobody has ever heard about programming. That is, nobody except Aurea. Formerly known as Aurora, she was reborn with all the knowledge she brought from Earth. She spent the 40 years of her previous life studying society, science, programming, hermetism, mythology, and alchemy. She died financially broke and emotionally broken, but all her accumulated knowledge and her nerdiness are about to pay off. She starts her life as the daughter of a slave, set against impossible odds from the beginning. But if incantations work as a programming language, then she knows exactly what to do to turn the tables. Words and syntax were the bread and butter of her former life, and material components look more like APIs and plugins. She didn’t meet a Goddess, wasn’t summoned like a hero, didn’t have a System giving her an ability. Instead, she was just dropped there to fend for herself. But with her knowledge, she doesn’t need a cheat skill. She is the cheat herself. Discord https://discord.gg/rrFNCtvCHZ ::: Update Schedule is according to my time, which means Brazil Time (GMT -03). I wouldn’t be able to keep track of all timezones and the ever-floating Summer Saving Times and stuff, so you can either calculate it to your timezone, or just get used, because it won’t be changing for some time (I hope never, actually). I’m keeping some stockpiled chapters and always getting the posts scheduled, and any unforeseen circumstances will be explained in time. Every day: 09 AM and 04 PM (BRT, which is GMT -03) ::: What NOT to expect in this novel: - Explicit sex content - Depiction of slavery in any “good side” or “positive light”. Slavery is Evil, period. - The MC to enter a straight relationship - Harem - NTR - Any form of race superiority or inferiority discourse - Sexism - Random banter about food or entire chapters dedicated to food (I mean, I love food as much as anyone else, I’m just too tired of every single isekai novel having entire chapters describing food) What TO expect in this novel: - A slowburn story - Brain beats brawn - Action scenes, though they aren’t the first focus - The MC may enter romantic relationships, but they take more of a backstage role - People trying to live healthy polyamorous relationships. They might succeed or fail, but the important thing is that this isn’t about one person taking center stage and everyone else worshipping them - Sex might be mentioned or implied, but never more than that - Sometimes the characters might use strong language - Sadism - No, really. Sadism. Aurea might be originally a 40-year-old from Earth, but a child's brain is a child's brain, and very susceptible to trauma. The roughness of the environment of her upbringing might warp her personality a bit. This isn’t to say that she will be down a villainess path. She will just have some pleasure in making evil people suffer. Think Yae Miko in her character demo, “Anecdote of a Divine Kitsune Guuji”, you can find it on YouTube. It’s that kind of “ludic sadism”. - I’m not really sure on the level of… description of those scenes, yet. I think that when I get close to that, I’ll put up a poll to see your thoughts on the matter. It will take some time to get there, though.

After waking up in a world of magic, knighthood, and alchemy, Carlotta finds herself with an unexpected gift: an intelligence system that feeds her daily updates, secrets, rumors, and even hidden dangers unfolding around her. Yesterday’s intel was especially eventful. Mrs. Thea Ashfield, an eccentric alchemist, tossed away an old tool called the Rose Thorn late last night, left forgotten in a trash bin just south of the academy. Meanwhile, a new restaurant at No. 56 Fame Street is quickly becoming the talk of the town, fresh ingredients, great prices, and a steak that people are already calling legendary. Not all food fared as well though: most of the caramel bread in the academy cafeteria turned out to be leftovers from days ago. (Still edible, just… don’t expect miracles.) Teacher Estelle Marlowe pulled an all-nighter preparing the upcoming magic exam. Rumor has it the questions are no joke this time. Then came the serious alerts. One warned of a wanted criminal hiding in the Fame District, with a bounty of thirty thousand Orrae on their head. The other was more personal, Headmistress Viviana Richards’s lost dog was about to be shipped off by dog traders through the port. Thanks to Carlotta’s timely tip-off, the headmistress was able to rescue her beloved pet just in time. ###### Some Tags: Female Protagonist, Card Magic, System, Daily Intelligence, Genius Main Character, Focused Main Character, Academy, Intelligent Main Character #### There's no plans for romance for now.

[Beta Testing Phase: Initiated] [10 Million Chosen Participants] [You have been selected!] "What the F***?" Arthur clutched his head, the system messages burning behind his eyes.

Noah Carter, a broke programmer, was debugging code at 3 AM to make ends meet when was chosen by the system. [Idle Tycoon System Activated] The system gifted him a shop in a world filled with demons and dragons. His bread healed wounds, his drinks increased mana, and his crisps increased comprehension!

One shop became hundreds spanning medieval kingdoms, game-like worlds, cultivation realms and much more. Noah's network spread across dimensions like a cosmic plague of convenience stores. Countless years later, Noah raised his head from the clouds and realised something unexpected. He had become the richest and most powerful man in the universe.

Inola was just your typical beast kin orphan—ears too sharp, stomach too empty, and dreams far too big for the crumbling orphanage she called home. The place was run by a greasy baron with a combover and a crooked smile, who made sure the kids knew the value of silence, obedience, and cheap labor. But today—today was her thirteenth birthday. And somehow, today also happened to be the day she found herself standing in a line stretching halfway across the capital, clutching a ticket made of black silk and gilded gold leaf. Her fingers trembled just holding it. Everyone else in line stared like she’d grown wings and started breathing fire. She still didn’t know how this happened. All she did was help a sweet old lady cross the road yesterday. The carts had been fast, the rain had been pouring, and she’d nearly slipped twice. But the old lady had smiled, warm as cinnamon bread, and handed her the strange ticket without another word before disappearing into the alleyways. It wasn’t until this morning that Inola learned who that old woman was. The former Queen of Vaerindale. Disguised and wandering the city for her own mysterious reasons. And that ticket? A personal invitation—one of only thirteen—to enter the newly discovered Mythic Dungeon before anyone else. A dungeon no one had survived exploring. A dungeon rumored to contain Essence Stones—ancient artifacts of unimaginable power, used to forge custom classes with limitless potential. And Inola, ragged boots and patched coat and all, was going in as a scout. Well… whatever. Life hadn’t exactly offered her many handouts before, so this? This was a miracle. And she wasn’t about to waste it. Her claws flexed. Her tail twitched with anticipation. “I’m going to make a better life for myself. Even if I have to claw it out of the dungeon with my bare hands.” Read as this fox kin becomes the most powerful illusion-type classer as she masters how to bend reality with her Phantom Weaver of the Veiled Eclipse class.

In the vast Nazare Blade Empire, ruled with an iron hand by Emperor Groa Aratat, there existed eight princes, each striving for recognition and power. Among them was Josh Aratat, the most obscure and least acknowledged of the emperor’s sons. Born of a mother who passed away when he was just a child, Josh grew up in the shadows of his more celebrated brothers, his heart burdened with loss and his life marked by solitude. One fateful day, Emperor Groa decreed a challenge: each of his sons was to venture into separate regions of the empire, conquer them, and win the loyalty of their people. The prince who demonstrated the greatest strength, strategy, and ability to amass supporters would be crowned the imperial prince—the heir to the throne. The empire buzzed with speculation. Most believed the title would go to the mighty firstborn, Balek Aratat, renowned for his unparalleled strength. Others placed their bets on the cunning second-born, Jaden Aratat, or the skilled third-born, Gerard Aratat. Few gave any thought to the younger sons, particularly the sixth to eighth—Josh included. In their eyes, he was merely a shadow, unworthy of mention in the race for the throne. But everything changed when Josh encountered a dying man, condemned to execution for the crime of stealing bread. Wracked with despair and tired of his own existence, Josh made a startling decision—he offered to take the man’s place, embracing what he thought would be his end. Yet, in an unexpected twist of fate, death did not claim him. Instead, Josh emerged from the ordeal with a newfound power—an extraordinary ability granted as a result of his selfless act. This gift would not only alter the course of his life but also shake the foundations of the Nazare Blade Empire and the world beyond.

I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com In a quiet mountain village forgotten by the world, a barefoot beggar named Long Wei lives each day chasing scraps and warmth. Born with nothing, he expects nothing—until the day he hears a voice that cuts through the silence like thunder: "When your breath and blade become one, the world bows before you." It is the voice of a martial master from the nearby Blue Mist School, speaking to gathered villagers. But to Long Wei, it is something more. In that instant, he witnesses a Martial Artist move with grace and power beyond comprehension—and his soul ignites. For the first time in his life, Long Wei wants something. Not bread. Not pity. He wants strength. Armed with nothing but obsession, curiosity, and a body hardened by hunger, Long Wei begins a perilous climb toward power—a journey fraught with brutal trials, cruel sects, ancient secrets, and the unyielding laws of the martial world.

I wake up in this blinding white space — typical Heaven aesthetic — and there’s God, sitting on a cloud like He’s been waiting for me all along. I expected harps, angels, the whole “Welcome to Paradise” deal. Instead, He looks at me and says, straight-faced: “Death retired.” I blink. “Excuse me… what?” “The Grim Reaper, the entity of death? Yep. Retired. Bought a beach house in another dimension. You’ve been chosen to replace them.” At this point, I think I’m hallucinating — bread still stuck in my throat or something. But no, it’s real. I’m now the new Death. And not the spooky skeleton with a scythe — no, I’m basically unreasonably powerful. the Death? Cloak, scythe, creepy skeleton vibe?” "Yeah, but that image's outdated. I have to walk across different worlds — real life, movies, games, comics, anime — all of it. And here’s the kicker: my power? Way too unstable. I don’t just shake someone’s hand and they drop dead — that’d be boring. It’s worse… my thoughts alone can vaporize people. Think “Oops, that guy’s annoying” — poof, he’s gone. Accidentally, imagine blowing up a planet? Say goodbye to that solar system. God leans in, still smiling like this is all normal: “Don’t worry, your mind will need training… lots of it. But you’ll get the hang of it. Also, yes… you can still have friends, relationships… maybe even fall in love.” I stare at Him like He’s insane. “With these powers? You sure?”

While enjoying the favor of a handsome man, she learned that her country was ruined and her family was destroyed. What should a fallen princess do? Xiang Ying says, of course, she should use space to her advantage, empty the palace, and leave nothing for the enemy army! As the captain of a post-apocalyptic infrastructure team, she was thrown into a book by an explosion. The enemy army entered the palace, famine was impending, and she was encircled as a prisoner of war, taking care of three children. Such a catastrophic beginning made Xiang Ying exclaim, the good days are coming! Compared to the post-apocalypse, what is this? On the road to exile, while others suffered, she enjoyed melons. When everyone else was munching on dry bread, Xiang Ying and her children were savoring sumptuous meals. Everyone grew thinner, except for the three children who remained plump and cheerful, patting their bellies and saying wildly: Mother, we can’t eat any more, really! Xiang Ying, holding hot pot, milk tea, and roast chicken, enjoyed the scenery along the road, hoarding supplies as they fled, making life more flavorful. The villainess mocked her: What use is only having food? You're still a conquered slave! Xiang Ying pulled out the Imperial Jade Seal: Right, from today onwards, I will be the Empress. The enemy army was dumbfounded; she never said the thirty thousand wanderers she brought were elite troops! * On the day Xiang Ying restored her country, the man who accompanied her through hardships held her hand. Jie Chen: For the sake of our three children, can we finally become official? Xiang Ying: Men should keep to their places, not seek a title. Jie Chen: ...With the country as my betrothal, my Jade Seal and my nation are all yours. Xiang Ying: Deal! Tonight's our wedding night!

Most elite world-jumpers—called Forerunners—are deployed into chaos. Collapsing kingdoms, monstrous invasions, doomsday-level threats… that’s their bread and butter. Trained to intervene at the breaking point, Forerunner teams of five are sent to tip the scales, stabilize the crisis, and unite the world behind a single goal: opening a gateway back to Earth. But what happens when the plan falls apart? Oliver, Alyssa, Henrietta, Clark, and Jacob weren’t dropped into a war zone or a burning city. No—just miles upon miles of empty, untamed wilderness. No equipment. Systems corrupted. No civilization in sight. And no help coming. To get home, they’ll need what only an entire world can offer. Trouble is, there’s no world to save—yet. Just five stranded strangers, and a simple, impossible solution: Build a Factory

One moment I was riding on a roller coaster, the next I was back to ten years ago. Let me ask you, is that exciting or not? Lu Zhen looked at her fresh, young, sixteen-year-old face in the mirror, and she laughed maniacally. In her last life, she established herself as the nation’s mascot with one advertisement. Until she was twenty-three years old, no one could shake her position. As the nation’s mascot that everyone had watched growing up, she was loved by thousands of people of the country. Her acting career was smooth sailing, and awards fell into her lap without much trouble. However, she wasn't the best judge of character. She mistakenly treated wolves as sheep and raised them by her side, supporting their growth with everything she had, and finally brought a disastrous end upon herself. Being forced out of her rest time, she didn’t hate it. Framed for drug use and forced to quit, she survived it. Even after all the ruckus when the public forced her to pretend that she was mad and stayed in the mental hospital, she endured it. But when she saw her father mistakenly take someone else for his daughter, atone for that snake and even died because of her, Lu Zhen couldn’t take it any longer. Even if she never called that person “Dad”, and even if he never knew she was his daughter, he had still died for his “daughter”. She never felt such a warm and sincere love before. That warmth should have been hers! Lu Zhen escaped from the mental hospital, but she couldn’t escape from the big truck that rammed into her head-on. Fortunately, the heavens had mercy on her and allowed her to have a do-over. In this life, there were only three things Lu Zhen wanted to do. Get revenge, find her father, and make some money. Once she got her revenge, she wouldn’t throw away the scumbags and bitches. She would dunk them in eggs, sprinkle them with bread crumbs and fry them until golden on both sides! Even the kids next door were crying! Her father was an incredible actor. He couldn’t pamper her enough, so he brought in a few more awesome uncles to pamper her together! She tried to persuade her uncles to treat everyone equally, but they didn’t want to listen. Ah, how worrying! At least a little money…Lu Zhen: “Twist a little, soak a little… Huh? I accidentally got my hands on the richest man in the country. Is this considered an alternative to getting rich?”

Liam wasn’t supposed to be here. One moment, he was in his apartment. The next—standing in the middle of a bustling village, sunlight dappling through oak trees, the smell of fresh bread in the air. It was too normal. The villagers greeted him like an old friend. They knew his name. They asked about his "family." And when he played along, his own mouth answered for him—words he didn’t choose, memories he never lived. By day, the village was picturesque: market stalls, laughing children, a cozy cottage with his name on the deed. But at night? The roads shifted when no one was looking. The same faces appeared twice in the same crowd. And his reflection in the mirror… wasn’t his. Worst of all? No one else noticed. Because in this village, the only rule was simple: Pretend you belong—or whatever’s watching will make sure you never leave.

Writer’s Note: This novel is a chaotic mix of adventure, slice-of-life, and a sprinkle of every genre imaginable. So if you ever feel like the story is going off the rails—good! That means it’s working as intended. Hahaha! I’m writing this purely for fun, so buckle up and enjoy the ride! Oh, and I’m a solo writer, so if something seems off, don’t worry—I’ll fix it before it turns into a multiversal disaster. Probably. --- Flipping Fate "Every choice reshapes the future; every flip unveils a hidden truth." --- Ezra died. Not in some grand, heroic way. Not as a chosen one, nor as a villain who laughed until the bitter end. Just an ordinary boy who barely had the chance to live. And yet, death wasn’t the end. Because when he opened his eyes again… he was no longer human. He had become a guardian spirit, bound to a system that claimed it could bring him back to life. But, of course, there was a catch. A huge, system-sized catch. To reclaim his humanity, he had to complete missions, grow stronger, and unravel a mystery he never signed up for. A mystery tied to a man he had never met—Kai. At first, Kai was just a name, a blurry face in the visions that haunted Ezra’s dreams. But the more he fought, the more he explored, the clearer those visions became. "Find Kai, and you will transcend." What did that even mean? Transcend into what? A higher being? A walking headache? No one had answers, so Ezra did what he did best—winged it. He wandered through peaceful villages where the smell of fresh bread made him forget his existential crisis. Through cities where life thrived, full of laughter, fights, and way too many questionable food choices. Through lands untouched by time, where ancient beings whispered secrets that probably should have stayed secret. Along the way, he met people who warmed his heart and others who tried to rip it out (sometimes literally). He learned to fight, to survive, to appreciate the little things—like not getting stabbed before breakfast. But no matter how far he traveled, the visions never stopped. Because somewhere out there, Kai was waiting. And when they finally met? Ezra had the strangest feeling that his real journey was only just beginning.

Hope was something he tucked away with every bag he packed, every goodbye he never truly recovered from. Until the Alexanders came.

"You're not suppose to remember me." "Then I guess I'll just break the rules." It first began on a winter morning. Inside a quiet bakery that was filled with scents of warm bread and snowfall outside. That's where he first met her. Her voice spoken like a song. And when she smiles, something just stirs in his chest, like the start of a song he once knew. But some days, she's not there. Some days, no one even remembers her. And some days, he wonders if she's even real or just his imagination. But still, for some reason, and somehow. He remembers. Through snow-covered rooftops, frozen schoolyards, silent library, and moments that melt quickly just as they appeared, he follows every traces of warmth that she leaves behind. A ribbon. A laugh. A story half-finished. And while the season gets colder, he begins to believe. Some people are meant to be remembered. Even if the world forgets. ------------------------------------------- Tags: Romance, Drama, High School, Sci-fi Schedule: 1 chapter/week (For now) Chapter Length: 2300 Words

A single sentence shattered her world: “Not worthy of pride.” Those words echoed in her mind, leaving her feeling like a ghost, drifting through life without purpose. She retreated into the shadows, her small room becoming a sanctuary of silence, where the outside world felt like a distant dream. Days blurred together, each one a reminder of her isolation. But then came the soft knock at her door, a gentle interruption to her solitude. A delivery boy named Kaito, with his quirky sticky notes and warm smile, brought a spark of light into her darkness. “If you like sweets, I’ll bring melon bread tomorrow,” he wrote, his words wrapping around her heart like a comforting embrace. His kindness was a lifeline, a reminder that she was seen, even when she felt invisible. Each note was a small treasure, igniting a flicker of hope within her. Why did he care? His presence stirred something deep inside her, a longing for connection she thought she had lost forever. When her money ran out and she felt the weight of despair, Kaito didn’t turn away. Instead, he offered her a chance—a job at his grandmother’s bakery. The thought of stepping outside filled her with both fear and excitement. The world that once felt so daunting began to shimmer with possibility. As she took that first step into the sunlight, her heart raced. Kaito’s gaze met hers, and in that moment, she felt a spark of recognition, as if they were two souls intertwined by fate. Memories of laughter and warmth flooded back, whispering of a past she had buried deep. Who are you? she wondered, her heart swelling with a mix of fear and hope. With each passing day, the walls around her heart began to crumble, and the secrets of their shared history beckoned her to explore. Would she find the courage to embrace this connection, to uncover the love that had been waiting for her all along?

Synopsis – Ashes in the Riverwind Genre: Slow Fantasy / Character-Driven Mystery / Soft Magic In the mist-laden valley of Thornepass, life drips by like water through moss: slow, steady, and tangled in silence. The village of Edenrock is old—not grand, not poor, just old. Its people live close to the soil and closer still to each other’s secrets. They hold festivals for the changing fruit. They write poems in the bark of birch trees. And though the world outside has shifted—grown louder, hungrier, more mechanical—Edenrock remains untouched, or so its residents would like to believe. Then comes Nerin, a pale stranger with scholar’s hands and a satchel of half-scorched journals. He claims to be a traveling apprentice-scribe, assigned to copy the local stories and dialects. But his silences stretch a little too long, his gaze lingers a little too much on the half-buried stone obelisks, and his dreams seem too vivid for a man who sleeps so little. Still, no one pays him much mind. The Festival of Stonefruit is approaching, and there are tents to mend, bread to bake, and gossip to spread. The real story does not begin with Nerin. It begins with a toothless dog that keeps digging in the orchard. It begins with a little girl who draws dreams she should not remember. It begins with water that tastes faintly of ash, and a wind that carries words no one speaks anymore. Ashes in the Riverwind is not about saving the world. It is about noticing the slow rot in the walls before they fall. It is about people whose lives are so quiet, they barely hear themselves unraveling. Magic, if it exists, does not announce itself. It hums beneath the floorboards. Some things in Edenrock were never buried deep enough.

Caelen died doing what he loved most: playing survival games non-stop like a sleep-deprived goblin. Unfortunately, dying in your chair from gaming overload isn’t exactly what you’d call a dignified exit. Even God laughed at him. But lucky for Caelen, or maybe unlucky, he gets a second chance in the world of his favorite survival game. It’s a brutal fantasy realm full of monsters, magic, swords… and absolutely zero indoor plumbing. Armed with only a stone pickaxe, a limited-use "Google Brain" search skill, and the stubbornness of a man who once built a Minecraft mansion out of dirt, Caelen sets out to survive. But surviving isn’t enough he wants to upgrade the world. Electricity? Toilets? Toasted bread? Why not all three? As he fends off nighttime horrors, awkwardly crafts furniture, and tries to avoid becoming monster chow, Caelen has one mission: bring modern convenience to a medieval world, one ridiculous invention at a time. And maybe, just maybe… not die again in a chair. [System Notes:No Ntr, No Yuri(gl), No Yaoi(bl)]

The scent of vanilla and freshly baked bread curled through the morning air, soft and inviting—a stark contrast to the man standing outside the tiny pastry shop. Matteo De Luca didn’t belong in a place like this. Dressed in black, with a presence that swallowed the light around him, he was a jagged piece of the underworld pressed against the softness of something pure. He hadn’t meant to stop. Hadn’t meant to be drawn in. But there he was, watching the man behind the counter—flour dusting his fingers, lips pursed in concentration as he decorated a delicate éclair. A man who had no idea that with one glance, he had become an obsession. Luca should walk away. He should forget the warmth, the scent, the man who smelled like sugar and safety. But he wouldn’t. Because when a man like him wanted something, he took it. And right now? He wanted him. ---

**Synopsis** **#System #Progression #Cultivation #FaceSlap** Leon Thorn, a supposed "cripple" with broken meridians, was exiled to the Ashen Mines by his noble family. For 10 years, he’s been quietly using a **[Daily Check-In System]** that only gives "trash" like *[Rusty Pickaxe]* or *[Moldy Bread]*. But on the day his arrogant cousin came to seize his mother’s heirloom locket, Leon finally used the reward he’d ignored for a decade—a **[Cracked Bronze Key]**. The key shattered, awakening the **Celestial Vault**, a divine armory buried beneath the mines. Now, legendary swords orbit him like loyal hounds. The Thorn Family patriarch begs on bloodied knees. The Frostblade Order’s saintess trembles, recognizing the "kitchen knife" he uses to peel potatoes as their lost holy relic. "Wait," Leon mutters, biting into a *[Divine Peach]* he’d mistaken for a rotten snack, "You’re telling me... I’ve been farming in God’s storage room?"
