Memories surged like a tide into her head after she was reincarnated, and she found out who she was... A complete pushover. Her name was Beiting Huang, a direct descendant and third-generation descendant of the Beiting Dynasty. Her fearsome reputation stretched across all nations on the continent. 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? Did the old Beiting Huang not beg before she died? Did they spare her when she did? An emotion that was not hers stirred within her body, and Beiting Huang knew it was the old Beiting Huang's grief. 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. Now, there was only one Beiting Huang. She was the underworld's king, a mercenary lord who slaughtered and plundered with the world at her feet. Reincarnated into the fearsome Beiting family as its 'useless’ ninth son, the world's riches were once again in her grasp. She cultivated impossible abilities, contracted with magical beasts, and possessed a mystical dimension. She also trampled over gods and demons as and when she liked. Cold and handsome, her very presence was proud and magnificent, causing the world to fight for her affection.

Upon opening his eyes, there before him was a bridal chamber adorned with red candles and windows. A bride dressed in a phoenix coronet and robes of rank sat upright on the nuptial bed, her face covered by a red bridal veil. Zhao Rong rubbed his sleepy eyes, "Have I become a groom? Oh, and a junior one at that." Understood. His facial expression brewed for a moment before he twisted his mouth into a smile, "Wait a second..." Huh, something's amiss. The bride is my childhood sweetheart who also harbored a crush on me? Oh, then that's alright. This is very fitting. Zhao Rong stepped forward, happily lifting the red bridal veil, "Hey hey, my lady, where are you running off to?" ------------- In the great era of contention, the tide of the times surged forth, and Confucian Scholar Zhao Rong bravely faced it head-on. Not only did he seek to catch up to the footsteps of his childhood sweetheart turned Sword Immortal Lady, but he also wished to witness firsthand the dispute that engulfed more than half of the Cultivation World, the strife among the various schools of thought... ————— [Slow-burn], [Non-cliché], [Non-level-up], [Romance plot], [Sweet without the angst] This book is also known as "I Have a Fox Fairy Wife", "Rebirth: I Deliver Parcels in the Otherworld", "Zhao Ziyu, The Smirking Scholar" "I Really Don't Want to Be a Kept Man"...

An Imperial Scholar by day. An assassin by night. The World of Cultivation has changed. Elemental Mancers. Flux Mancers. Spirit Mancers. Soul Mancers. Raining down fire and splitting oceans. Destroying mountains with a single stomp and calming skies with a glance. Controlling the tides of Karma, while wielding the souls of others like a puppeteer tugging on the Lines of Fate. The most mysterious of them all were Spirit Mancers, a truth that Theron was more than intimately familiar with. Due to one's Tribulation, his life was turned upside down. His family, his rage, his somber sadness becoming nothing more than Bad Karma's fuel for a madman. He was once a gentle young man, a non-combative Water Mancer who wanted nothing more than to read his novels to the sound of the rain and one day become an Imperial Scholar. But now... Everything had changed. He donned a cloak in the silent night as the clouds above gathered. Pulling its hood over his chilling blue eyes, he stalked off into the darkness. The first droplets fell. He would become the nightmare of his enemies, the blade hidden in the shadows of Heaven's tears. The River of the Night.

In a world shattered into eight Echoes by a divine cataclysm, the Second Echo has fallen under the dominion of an immortal tyrant: the Dark King. The frozen lands of Brisombre, a remote duchy within the last standing empire, have become the frontline of resistance against an endless tide of monsters. Galahad Lysandor, heir to a noble lineage and the last son of the Duke of Brisombre, fights to defend his homeland amidst a war that seems unwinnable. Alongside weary veterans and legendary wandering knights, he faces unrelenting darkness, where every battle chips away at the fragile hope of survival. But hope is not yet lost. To survive—and to vanquish the shadows—Galahad must master the aether coursing through his veins and prove himself worthy of joining the Thirteen Sacred Knights, the empire’s last line of defense. As he ventures deeper into the fight for his world, Galahad will uncover harsh truths about the Echoes and learn that light, too, can destroy as easily as it saves.

In a world where ancient clans and rare, inherited powers shape the tides of history, a new generation rises to uncover the truth behind their shattered legacies. Among them are Erenyx, a fierce warrior with ties to a long-forgotten clan, and Loretta Ra, the reluctant heir to an unparalleled power dormant for over a century. As they navigate a treacherous tournament filled with cunning foes and unparalleled abilities, whispers of a hidden enemy threaten to upend their fragile alliances. With their destinies intertwined, they must face not only their adversaries but the secrets of their own bloodlines.

Tartarus, The world sculpted by celestial hands, the angels descended from the far reaches of the cosmos, bearing the edicts of the Creator. They came as guardians, bringing order to the boundless depths of Tartarus. Yet, beneath the veneer of divine law, deception festers—an Evil unseen, a whisper in the dark that even the great entities fails to perceive. From the flow of time itself, a man is sent—a mortal from Earth, chosen by the Angels of Time. His purpose? To stand against the encroaching catastrophe that lurks unseen, waiting to consume Tartarus. But he does not seek the mantle of a hero. Shackled by scars of the past, he rejects the fate thrust upon him. Yet fate is relentless, and the tide of destiny drags him forth, forcing him into the role he so despises. To be a hero in Tartarus is not to wield a sword against mere foes, but to unravel a truth buried beneath epochs of lies. The histories recorded in sacred tomes are but illusions, their words spun to shroud an unspeakable secret. And as he walks the path of revelation, he glimpses the echoes of worlds long lost, of ages that the gods have conspired to erase. But knowledge is a double-edged blade. The deeper he delves, the clearer it becomes—this is no mere deception of a single world, but a tapestry of falsehood woven into the fabric of the cosmos itself. What lies beyond the veil is not simply the truth of Tartarus, but the truth of existence. He will bring light to the darkness. But the darkness is endless. May Theo rest peacefully.

In the vibrant, untamed world of Aetheria, humans and Beasts share an intricate bond, their lives interwoven through the mystical energy of Aether Cores and Crystals. Beasts thrive in diverse ecosystems—serene grasslands, dense jungles, stormy highlands—drawing power from their surroundings, while humans harness Aether's elemental force through advanced runic technology and emotional connections with their Beast companions. Yet, this delicate harmony teeters on the brink of collapse, as whispers of ancient conflicts and a resurgence of corrupted Aether energy threaten to disrupt the balance. Eighteen-year-old Kael, a determined explorer with an innate empathy for Beasts, embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind his father’s mysterious disappearance. A renowned researcher, Kael's father vanished while investigating ancient ruins shrouded in mystery. Armed with his father’s journal, maps crafted by his cartographer mother, and the unwavering support of his loyal Beast Flarion (fire), Kael ventures into the uncharted wilds of Aetheria, determined to solve the mysteries of the past. Kael’s journey leads him to new companions: Lyra, an analytical and compassionate researcher devoted to preserving Aetheria's ecosystems, and Dax, a bold and competitive Beast tamer eager to prove himself worthy of his family’s legendary legacy. Together, the trio faces breathtaking challenges, from encountering rival tamers who seek to exploit Aether for personal gain to navigating a fractured world where Beasts and humans alike suffer from the effects of corrupted Aether energy. As they explore the ruins of a forgotten civilization, Kael and his team uncover a startling truth: an enigmatic figure from Aetheria's history is harnessing corrupted Aether energy to resurrect the devastation of an ancient war. To counter this growing threat, the group must strengthen their bonds with their Beasts, master the delicate art of resonance, and unlock hidden evolutionary paths powered by trust and emotional synergy. Guided by Aria, a skilled strategist with a wealth of knowledge about Aetheria's intricate ecosystems and Beasts, the group learns to confront the world’s challenges head-on. But Aria harbors a secret of her own—one that could alter the group's dynamic forever. In a race against time, Kael, Lyra, and Dax must forge unshakable bonds, uncover the mysteries of the past, and find the strength to stand against the rising tide of corruption. As the final battle looms, one question echoes through their journey: will unity and resilience be enough to restore balance to Aetheria, or will the resurgence of darkness unravel everything they hold dear?

In the bustling and noisy modern metropolis, Ye Chen once stood at the pinnacle of wealth, with a personal fortune of 400 billion yuan in his hands. His name was like a thunderclap in the business world, an object of admiration and envy for countless people. However, fate played an extremely cruel joke on him, and a sudden accident brought his life to an abrupt end. When Ye Chen regained consciousness again, he found himself miraculously reborn and thrown back sixty years ago. The world before his eyes was both strange and familiar. The dilapidated streets and simple houses all told of the poverty and backwardness of that era. And he himself was no longer the glorious business magnate but a despised, penniless gambler. His wife, the woman who had once accompanied him through thick and thin, was now full of disappointment and determination, only begging him to sign the divorce papers to completely break free from this painful marriage. His father-in-law and mother-in-law hated him to the core. The looks they gave him seemed as if they wanted to devour him alive, wishing he could vanish from this world and never appear in their lives again. What was worse, those loan sharks who lent money at exorbitant interest rates were like wolves, closely watching him and constantly issuing threatening ultimatums for him to pay back the money. The slightest mistake would subject him to their ruthless and violent debt collection. However, Ye Chen was not crushed by this difficult situation. Relying on the memories and experiences of the sixty years from his previous life, he began his desperate counterattack. He knew full well the huge changes and opportunities that this era was about to usher in. Starting from small businesses on the street corners, he gradually accumulated his first pot of gold by making precise judgments about future business trends. As time went by, his business empire continued to expand, covering multiple fields such as manufacturing, real estate, and technology. The innovative products and business models he launched led the tides of the times time and time again, shocking the entire business world. During this process, he encountered the envy and suppression of countless competitors. They united to try to stop Ye Chen's rise. But Ye Chen, with his wisdom and courage, skillfully resolved one crisis after another and instead turned the attacks of his opponents into the driving force for his progress. In the game with various forces, Ye Chen gradually built a business empire that was unrivaled in the world. His enterprises spread all over the world, providing employment opportunities for countless people and promoting the development of the global economy. And he himself, from a despised gambler, had become a respected business legend. Finally, standing at the top of his business empire, Ye Chen looked back on the past with mixed feelings. He had rewritten his fate with his rebirth and created a business myth that shook the world, becoming an eternal legend.

With power vast, he could mend the broken, A savior's flame in the darkest night. Yet never did he dream, in all his might, That his own soul longed for the light. In the ruins of hope, he stands unyielding, A titan of strength, a heart concealed. For in saving others, he begins to learn— Even the savior must one day be healed.

[DOWNLOADING INFORMATION FROM THE HOST -GENERAL KNOWLEDGE- IN PROGRESS] [0%...1%....5%...30%...70%...100%] [DOWNLOAD COMPLETE] [ALL SYSTEMS READY] [WELCOME TO THE BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM, HOST ERIK ROMANO] -------------------------------------------------------- Greetings, dear readers! As the author of this book, I would like to take a moment to talk about its structure and pacing. When I first started writing this story, I was still learning the craft of writing and exploring the world and characters I had created. As a result, the first volume of this book may feel a little slow-paced at times, as I took my time to introduce the setting, the plot, and the main characters. However, as I gained more experience and feedback from readers like you, I realized that I could improve the pacing and make the story more engaging and exciting. Therefore, I have been constantly revising and editing the chapters, trying to find ways to streamline the exposition, increase the tension, and deepen the character development. You may notice some differences between the original and current versions if you have read the first volume already. Some scenes may have been cut or shortened, while others may have been expanded or rearranged. However, I want to assure you that the core of the story remains the same and that the characters and themes will continue to evolve and surprise you. The last issue I would like to address is the portrayal of the main character (MC) on this website. I have noticed that on average, on this website, there are two types of MCs: 1) The ruthless, apathetic, or cold MC 2) The normal or intelligent MC The problem with both types is that they often become godlike or fighting experts within just five chapters. Not only is this unrealistic, but it can also become monotonous, in my opinion. It seems that many authors tend to use these two types frequently. That is why I have created a completely different main character for my story. In this story, the MC is flawed and has faced many challenges in life. Unlike other characters who are already ahead, the MC finds himself starting from nothing. He learns to fight, interact with people, and manage difficult situations. This means that he won't always make the same choices or take the same path as you would. It's important to remember that every person would react differently in each situation, and there is no universal answer for how to handle every circumstance. Please keep this in mind when you come across moments where you may not agree with the MC's actions and consider his unique perspective and way of thinking. If you want to share some thoughts or have a chat with me, you can join the discord's server here: https://discord.gg/dZpb4TBRJc

The gravest transgression resides in the betrayal of one's essence, when all is cast aside for fleeting shadows, for nothing that bears true weight. For the truest measure of a soul lies not in the tides of others' influence, but in the steadfast conviction of one's own beliefs, unyielding to the eroding winds of conformity. It is in purity of individual thought, untainted and resolute, that the meaning of a person is forged and sustained.

Since time immemorial, a brutal war between humans and demons scorched the earth, leaving the world on the brink of eternal darkness. For centuries, humanity struggled against the tides of chaos, until the divine Devas, supreme gods of light, intervened. With their aid, humans finally crushed the demon legions, and hope for peace flickered at last. But just as the end of war seemed within reach, the Demon Lord unleashed one final, catastrophic curse—one that would forever alter the balance between good and evil. Instead of fading into myth and legend, the war spilled across time, stretching its dark claws into the modern world, entwining itself with the fate of a new generation. Enter Aramiya Ryuu, a seemingly ordinary high school student in a quiet town—until strange, unsettling events begin to unravel his everyday life. As shadows stir in the corners of his world, his dormant powers awaken, pulling him into a realm of magic, danger, and hidden truths. With mysterious new allies at his side, Ryuu must quickly learn to master the powers within him—powers he doesn’t yet understand, but which may be humanity’s last hope. The demons are relentless, and the forces they serve now wage war in the modern era, threatening to plunge the world into chaos once more. As he delves deeper into the truth behind the Demon Lord’s final curse, Ryuu finds that his own past is entwined with dark secrets, ones that could reshape the future of humanity—and the war itself. In the face of unimaginable threats, he must confront his destiny, balancing love, loyalty, and the weight of a world that rests on his shoulders. Will Ryuu rise as the hero humanity needs, or will the demons finally succeed in their quest for domination? As old battles merge with new dangers, the ancient, eternal war begins again—this time, in a world far more vulnerable to its dark power.....

In the desolate world of Neheinra, a man emerges as a beacon of hope amid overwhelming despair. Unlike the glorified heroes or despicable villains that populate tales of old, he embodies a profound sense of empathy and determination. Haunted by the echoes of a world once vibrant, now reduced to ruins, he witnesses the suffering of those around him—people who, like him, struggle to navigate the harsh realities of a post-apocalyptic existence. Driven by an unyielding sense of justice, he dedicates himself to alleviating the pain of his fellow survivors by being the sole beacon of support. His journey is not marked by superhuman feats or legendary accolades; rather, it is defined by small acts of kindness and courage that ripple through the shattered remnants of society. Each decision he makes is weighted with the knowledge of the consequences, and every life he touches is a testament to his resilience in the face of adversity. In a landscape where hope became a fragile flame, he strives to rekindle the spark of humanity, helping his people rebuild their spirits. This is a story of one man's fight against the tide of despair, a gentle defiance in the face of overwhelming odds, and a poignant reminder of the strength found in caring for others and perhaps himself in the long run.

In a kingdom where bloodlines dictate power, Prince Kaelen Varenthis was destined to rule, but fate has other plans. Born into a long line of kings, Kaelen is the heir to a throne embroiled in political turmoil and bloodshed. His family has long wielded the power of Form Shifting—a mystical ability to transform one's body and essence into powerful beasts, elemental forces, and even abstract concepts like time and shadow. However, Kaelen's Form Shifting abilities far exceed those of anyone in the kingdom, even his ancestors. At the height of his coming-of-age ceremony, a deadly rival faction orchestrates the elimination of his siblings, thrusting Kaelen into the heart of a ruthless battle for the throne. With his kingdom divided and enemies lurking in every corner, Kaelen must master the full extent of his powers and reshape not only his own destiny but that of the entire kingdom. The Form Shifting system is a complex and taxing art—each form requires mental strength, physical endurance, and spiritual fortitude. As Kaelen learns to harness his abilities, he discovers that he can alter not only his own form but also the infrastructure of his kingdom—crafting cities, technologies, and even bending nature itself to his will. But with great power comes even greater challenges. The more versatile the form, the greater the toll it takes on his body and soul. As Kaelen works to reunite the fractured kingdom, he must navigate political intrigue, forge powerful alliances, and defend his people from both external invasions and internal betrayals. With every step, he learns that true power is not just in shifting forms but in forging a vision of the future—a vision that can unite the fractured factions and build a new era of prosperity. But Kaelen's rise will not be without sacrifice. To conquer the shifting tides of politics, master his powers, and build a legacy, he must decide how much of himself he's willing to lose. Will he overcome the limitations of his Form Shifting abilities, or will the infinite power that courses through him be his undoing?

On December 11th, the apocalypse began. A new, mutated coronavirus—the Zeta variant—spread worldwide, and it was far more deadly than any version before it.

Imprisoned for seven long years in a desolate cell, Preto Joltenheim, once known as The Undead, lives a forgotten existence. Bound by chains of iron and haunted by bitter memories, his only companion is a clever white rat named Mr. Shin. While the world moves on beyond the bars that hold him, Preto sings songs of longing—remnants of a past steeped in betrayal, war, and love. Once the heir to a mighty house, Preto’s rise to infamy began with a fateful alliance forged on a battlefield soaked in blood. Alexander Asellus, a cunning noble with a heart full of ambition, became both his closest friend and deadliest rival. Together, they dared to defy lords and kings, manipulating the tides of war and chasing the dreams of an empire. But ambition breeds betrayal, and power demands sacrifices neither man was prepared to make. Now, as old enemies stir and forgotten oaths awaken, the shadows of the past reach for Preto. A new age of treachery and war looms on the horizon. With whispers of rebellion in the air and swords poised to carve new legends, Preto must decide—will he rise from the ashes of his captivity to reclaim his destiny, or be consumed by the ghosts of his shattered heart? In a tale of honour and vengeance, love and ruin, the line between friend and foe blurs, and fate dances on the edge of a blade.

“And what of the consequences, Lyra? What if your actions draw the attention of his kind or worse, the humans? Do you think they will see you as anything more than a trophy, a prize to be captured and displayed? You put yourself and our entire kingdom at risk every time you venture to the surface.” In the shadow of the moon and the depths of the sea, two forbidden worlds collide. Lyra, the spirited and rebellious princess of the merfolk, yearns to escape the prisons of her underwater kingdom. She craves adventure, danger, and the freedom to choose her destiny. But her curiosity leads her to a fateful encounter with Kael on the moonlit cliffs of Selene Ridge. Kael Nightshade, the unyielding Alpha of the Lunarveil pack, is bound by the laws of his kind—laws forged in the blood of ancient wars and backed up by a prophecy that warns of catastrophic doom. The werewolves must never mingle with the magic of the sea. Drawn together by an unexplainable bond, Kael and Lyra defy their worlds and ignite a love as deep and unrelenting as the ocean’s tides. But their union unleashes a power neither can control: their daughter, Selena, a child of prophecy, is born with gifts that threaten to unravel the fragile balance between land and sea. Now, hunted by a wicked sorceress who seeks Selena’s extraordinary powers, and pursued by their own kind who view their love as a betrayal, Kael and Lyra must form a strong ally with two ancient enemies to protect their family. As darkness closes in and old rivalries resurface, their love will be tested. Can a love so forbidden withstand the weight of prophecy, or will it shatter under the wrath of the moon and tide? Dive into Forbidden Love; The Mermaid’s Werewolf, a tale of passion, danger, and the ultimate fight for family, where every choice causes a disturbance across the two worlds.
