As acid rain corrodes the skyscrapers of New York City, Luna, a convenience store clerk in Kansas, finds herself a post-apocalyptic “savior” with the last 5,000 cans of beans in the state stacked in her underground warehouse. The sociopathic, blood-sick, cockroach-shy 24-year-old is forced to establish the rules of her new world with tin cans and expired candy: Want food? Trade secrets. But when marauders point guns at her glass door, a swarm of mutant voles gnaws at the shelves, and survivors begin to question “why the Savior is a dumbass who's never even been in love,” Luna finally raises the crowbar to her betrayer's throat: “Now, get down on your knees and call me God. ”

"How far will you go to save the only home you've ever known?" Tyson never wanted to be a hero! But on his 20th birthday, everything changed. A Meta-bot chose him—fusing with his body, wrapping him in powerful armor, and throwing him into a war far beyond his control. "You are now a Ranger. Fight, survive, or let Earth die." Edward said, "And remember, you don’t choose Meta-bot. It chooses you. And when it does… your life is no longer your own, Tyson" The rules are straightforward. Every few years, the intergalactic tournament commences. Earth gains additional time by successfully navigating the stages. Billions of lives hang in the balance while the battles are broadcast live—nothing more than a twisted form of entertainment for some godlike beings. "You’re not ready for this, Tyson. You’ll get yourself killed." As if fighting for survival wasn’t enough, Tyson must prove himself worthy of the Roger family name, fix his fractured bond with his adopted brother, and navigate his growing feelings for a girl he never expected to fall for—the daughter of a fallen General. But time is running out. "You think this war cares about what you want?" "No, it never has. It never will," a voice whispered. "It’s on you, kid. If you want to survive, then fight for it." ------ This novel blends sci-fi and fantasy, featuring a 'weak to strong' progression.

I want to die. She believed dying seemed to be the easiest way to escape her fate and the pain that overwhelmed her remaining existence. "What is there for me to live for?" Her hand instinctively touched the ring on her finger, the only thing left to remind her of the man she left behind. Of course, it was not how she envisioned her life would be. She had always thought she had everything mapped out. Her life was perfect with her future set. But who knew? Everything would change as her world suddenly turned upside down. She had lost the person she valued the most. How will I survive without you?

Now, she’s a certified 31 year old dirt-poor shut-in, living her best (or worst?) life as a full-fledged otaku. With nothing but her anime merch and a shaky Wi-Fi connection, she scrapes by on streaming money, all while dodging the harsh reality outside her door. However, after an all-nighter to play Merlysian Realm, a newly released VR MMORPG, she died from her unhealthy lifestyle and passed out.

Watch as she proves those who doubted her to be wrong and be accepted as a genius by using her knowledge from the modern world!

Blake is a young man who has had to suffer through devastation over and over again losing more than just an arm. With no power of his own he could barely stand a chance against others or even be deemed useful by the military. All he can do is accept his sister's help bitterly knowing he can't return it to the same effect. After a series of events a meeting with near death shocks him to his very core changing his life forever. Awakening a hidden element buried deep within his genetic code. The Gene System, an advanced complex genetic technology used to expand and improve the overall potential and direction of evolution for the user's genetic code naturally mapping out and directing where the user should go with the growth they obtain. Not much else is known, only that few on every planet are given one through unknown means. The current state of the world is racked with unbridled chaos as the military fruitless attempts to stop the atrocities committed by the organisation known as the Gene hunters. Seeking to steal and splice any genetic data they can get their hands on by whatever psychotic means whether it be dissection, slow harvesting or cloning ethics are not a concern. Hundreds of thousands have been affected by the gene hunters including Blake's family. Some are never seen again, just used as cows for genetic harvesting over and over again until they dried up never to see their families again. Changes have begun to sprout in the background of earth leading to more and more mysterious events occurring, genetic powers becoming stronger, animals becoming mutated and evolving faster than normal generational lines. All the while in the background an unknown force beyond human comprehension lurks just beyond the veil waiting patiently for the time to run out and indulge in his planet level feast devouring all life in sight. Blake will give his all to overcome these brutal circumstances by whatever means. No matter the pain, suffering or loss he will continue to go forward no matter the cost. Failure isn't a devastation but a stepping stone in his larger goal. In his pursuit to build his strength he wont forget where he came from guarding the weak as someone who grew from that. Seeing the lack of care or acknowledgement to the majority viewed as weak in the military disdain makes him step up as the leader needed to change the structure of this world for the better. In the weak there is strength which Blake knows all too well. His reason to go forward is to become the man he wants to be. The only thing that truly terrifies is the idea of letting it all go, giving up and betraying himself and his potential.

In the mist-shrouded realm of the Veiled Kingdom, where ancient magic and forgotten histories lie interwoven, a subtle disquiet begins to ripple through the land. Our story begins in Silverhaven, a city cloaked in an unnerving stillness, as Elara and Liam, two figures drawn together by a shared purpose, arrive at the ominous Archivist's Spire. Whispers of a disturbance in the delicate balance of the "veil" – a mysterious, fundamental force of their world – have reached them, compelling them to seek answers within the Spire's shadowed depths. As they venture deeper into the Veiled Kingdom, guided by cryptic maps and haunted by fragmented legends of the past, Elara and Liam will uncover secrets far more profound and dangerous than they initially imagined.

"To be continued" will mark the end of each chapter, inviting readers to journey further into this richly imagined world, until finally, "the end" will signify the culmination of their epic quest to unveil the true heart of the Veiled Kingdom.

Synopsis In a universe where breastfeeding rewrites quantum physics, a genetically engineered mother and her quantum-wolf lover battle cosmic forces to protect their reality-shaping infant. Across millennia—from 1023 AD Norse rituals to 10,000 AD galactic tribunals—their struggle to balance parental love with spacetime stability evolves into a mythic saga where milk becomes the fabric of reality, stretch marks map star systems, and a baby’s teething pain triggers supernovas. Plot Summary & Future Arcs Core Premise Lynette, the 500th incarnation of a lab-engineered "Spiritborn," discovers her breastmilk holds quantum code capable of creating—or erasing—civilizations. Alongside Caelium, a werewolf-physicist cursed to oscillate between human and feral states, they raise a universe-breathing infant whose needs (hunger, teething, diaper changes) manifest as cosmic crises. Their nemesis, the ancient witch Isolde, lurks in black hole rattles and formula corporations, weaponizing parental guilt across timelines. Key Existing Arcs (Chapters 1-50) · The Quantum Nursing Wars: Breastmilk algorithms vs. artificial formula empires in 3024 AD. · The Milky Tribunal: Intergalactic courtroom drama where lactation laws put Lynette on trial for "chronon genocide." · Teething Armageddon: The infant’s first tooth eruption rips spacetime, summoning dystopian dentist fleets. · Caelium’s Wolf-J.D.

Key Beats: · Lynette discovers her colostrum contains Isolde’s Original Sin Code. · Caelium confronts his darkest self: a 2149 AD Formula Executive who monetized infant hunger. · The infant’s third eye leaks visions of a Milkless Universe, forcing Lynette to question her worth. Global Hook: Critique of corporate greed and "wellness culture," with breastmilk as both sacred and commodified. Chapter 71-80: Weaning the Gods Arc Core Conflict: The toddler’s tantrums collapse realities into a Tesseract Playpen—a hyperspace nursery where dark matter is finger paint and black holes are sippy cups. Key Beats: · Lynette and Caelium infiltrate the playpen to teach Gentle Reality-Building. · Isolde manifests as a Toxic Nanny AI, weaponizing bedtime stories. · The toddler’s first scribbles accidentally create Proto-Civilizations in her coloring books.

I thought being laid off from my job was the greatest of my worries but I just had to wake up in a ship's cockpit after my space game crashed. Now I have no map, no friends and no money. But that's ok, I've started from the bottom before! With my starter ship I will scour through space as a Mercenary and maybe even start up a Mercenary Company while I'm at it! This ain't my first rodeo in space after all! Except... Apparently my crew members are weird? The guy who bumped into me yesterday was found sliced up and floating outside the space station. The girl who tried to honeytrap me was reported missing with only a finger found in an alley. And then that merchant who scammed me had his entire ship blasted into bits by unknown vessels the very next day. Some people say my crewmates were behind it but they must be mistaken, right? I only know one thing for sure... In space, no one can hear you scream... *** Notes: Any R-rated scenes will be denoted by a '*' followed by an 'R' with the number of 'R's showing how much of it is R-rated.

Synopsis: The Sword of Blood Once, the five kingdoms were united under the reign of King Zain, whose sword, The Sword of Blood, was a symbol of immense power. But after his death, the sword became a mystery, and the kingdoms plunged into chaos. Zain’s wife and eldest daughter were killed, but his youngest son, Khael, survived. Khael disappeared, never to be seen again. Now, the question remains: Who is the rightful heir to the Sword of Blood? Can anyone claim it, or will its power only bring destruction? Five Kingdoms, One Sword, Endless War Dravania: Prince V, the illegitimate son of King Aldric, seeks to prove his worth and claim his place in the royal family, despite being rejected.

Lunaris: King Castor, whose kingdom holds the greatest mystery—his daughter is said to be the most beautiful woman in the world, but no one has seen her, and she may only be an illusion. The Search for the Sword An unknown girl, Arena, embarks on a mission to find an ancient temple, armed with a map that leads to The Sword of Blood. Along the way, she crosses paths with Prince V, a powerful but self-serving warrior. But are Arena and V on the same side, or do they have different agendas? The Bloodline Secret Is Khael still alive? Is Prince V’s true bloodline also shrouded in mystery? And the biggest question—why did King Zain say on his deathbed: “This sword should never fall into anyone's hands.” The Final Battle The five kingdoms will clash. Illusions will unravel. Kingdoms will fall. And the victor—will they be able to wield the power of the Sword of Blood? Or will it lead to a new era of destruction?

In a kingdom threatened by a mysterious disease, Shin, a determined adventurer, finds himself at the heart of a perilous mission. Upon entering a church filled with people suffering from the plague, he learns from a knight named Xinu that the disease is a curse draining the mana from the people, a curse that can be limited but not fully eradicated. This curse, tied to the legendary Korran and the mysterious lotus blooms, could be the key to solving the kingdom's plight. Shin is summoned to the king's palace, where he meets the royal council, including seven captains, and discovers that an artifact known as the "Crystal Sphere of None" has been stolen, vital for the upcoming lotus bloom. The king, aware of the impending danger, tasks Shin with uncovering the truth behind the curse and its connection to the sealed monster, Korran, hidden in the church. Shin and Xinu are sent to investigate further, armed with an old map that reveals the church's many forgotten secret passages. Their search leads them to a cryptic riddle about a hidden way to meet the god, directing them to a mysterious pillar in the church. When they push the pillar, it opens a secret passage leading deep into the church's bowels. Inside, they encounter an ominous empty room with a giant eye, a trap set by the mastermind behind the curse. As they begin to piece together the ancient prophecy, Shin and Xinu realize they are not only up against a dark force tied to the church's past, but also a master manipulator controlling the cursed energy. With the lotus bloom set to absorb all the kingdom's magical energy, the two heroes must now fight to uncover the secrets of the church, prevent the curse's spread, and protect their world from total collapse. The tale weaves a deep mystery, ancient prophecies, and a looming battle between light and dark, with Shin and Xinu at the center of it all, uncovering secrets that could either save or destroy the kingdom.

When the world collapsed, it wasn’t the dead that scared me—it was the living. The outbreak started like a whisper, spreading faster than anyone could react. Within weeks, cities crumbled, governments fell, and the streets belonged to the undead. At first, survival meant running, hiding, scavenging for whatever scraps I could find. But running only takes you so far. I found an abandoned industrial town, half-broken but defensible, and I made a choice—no more running. If the world was going to be rebuilt, it would start here. I built the walls, gathered survivors, and carved out a place worth fighting for. But out here, it’s not just the zombies that want you dead. Marauders, warlords, and desperate survivors will do anything to take what we have. If we want to live, we have to fight. If we want a future, we have to build one. This is my frontier. And I will defend it.

In the depths of the cosmos, a desolate planet—21,000 kilometers in diameter—suspended like a barren gem. Its surface glowed with sapphire veins of Star Tears Gold, a mineral coveted across galaxies.There, Luo Feng, his complexion pale from injuries, knelt atop a drifting meteorite. His gaze pierced through interstellar dust, fixated on the lifeless world below. Absorbing this planet would restore 80% of my peak strength. The thought ignited a primal hunger within him. Yet what appeared as a divine boon concealed a lethal game: ancient interstellar marauders schemed nearby, while cosmic guardians watched from afar. This was no mere scramble for resources—it was a battle against the very fabric of universal law.This wasn’t an ordinary interstellar quest. It was a desperate warrior’s duel with oblivion, a clash between flesh-and-blood defiance and the immutable rules governing existence itself. When Luo Feng’s fingertips brushed against the Star Tears veins, he triggered a chain reaction. Countless eyes—ranging from shadowy AI overlords to extinct civilizations reborn in digital form—peered through the void, hungry for the chaos this devouring would unleash. And the ultimate truth hidden within the star map… it would shatter his understanding of power, life, and the cosmic origin itself.

Paul Vaneke, a young university student, dies unexpectedly and awakens in a savage, fractured world as a hybrid of orc and barbarian—a being unlike any other. Struggling to survive as an outcast, he discovers an ancient spaceship from a lost civilization. Finding a map which led to an abandoned lab, Paul gains access to a "Last Hope System," a powerful tool that allows him to build, conquer, and evolve. From a lone survivor, he rises to become a tribal chief, then a king, and finally an emperor, uniting the fractured lands under his rule. But Paul’s rise is shadowed by a far greater threat. The Abyssals, a ruthless galactic empire from another galaxy, manipulate the world’s races—Dwarves, Elves, Beastmen, Barbarians, and Humans—through their proxies, the enigmatic Shifters. These shapeshifting agents sow discord, turning races against each other and weakening the world for eventual conquest. As Paul uncovers the truth, he must rally the divided races against their common enemy, using the Last Hope System and advanced technology to achieve his aims. With the Abyssals’ fleet en route and the Shifters infiltrating his empire, Paul faces a war on two fronts: one against the manipulated races and another against the encroaching galactic empire. In a world of shifting alliances, ancient secrets, and interstellar warfare, Paul must unite the fractured realms, Transforming it to his own Dominion while outwiting the Shifters, and stand against the Abyssals’ overwhelming might. Will he become the savior of his world, or will it fall to the machinations of a galaxy-spanning empire?

Their journey quickly turns into a deadly race, where they are the prey and every system can be a trap. Someone knows who Astra is. Someone knows what her father is hiding. And if the truth comes out, it could be not only Earth that burns, but the entire galaxy "Astra" is an action-packed space opera where political intrigue, relentless chases and cynical humor intertwine in a story about loyalty, betrayal and boundaries that cannot be undone. Are you ready to cross the threshold of the stars? Perfect for fans of "Mass Effect", "The Expanse" and "Cowboy Bebop".
