Against the backdrop of a vast and magnificent cosmic war, the Leray Federation and the Gacharin Empire are locked in a fierce confrontation. Tian Kaiwen, a soldier of the Federation, is a plump mechanical repairman with a rather unknown "dark history"—twenty" -one records of desertion. However, the gears of fate turned subtly, and by a stroke of coincidence, he was brought into the 7th Laboratory of the Galiparan Military Academy. In this mysterious laboratory, Tian Kaiwen quickly integrated with the researchers by virtue of his outstanding talent in mechanical repair. He was highly proficient in the repair of various damaged mechas and weapons. With his sweet talking and amiable personality, he won the affection of everyone. Milan, a researcher in the laboratory, is a twenty - year - old beauty with remarkable scientific talent. Despite her astonishing research capabilities, she is somewhat lacking in practical operation skills. She set her sights on the idle Tian Kaiwen and recruited him to participate in her research. In Milan's research room, Tian Kaiwen witnessed a transforming mecha—a great invention in the history of mechas. Its unique bio-state metal material left him greatly astonished. Meanwhile, the cruel war raged on the Milock Star. The Gacharin Empire intensified its ground offensive, and the air power of the Leray Federation was severely damaged. The connections between cities were severed, and many areas fell into enemy hands. Nevertheless, the federal soldiers resisted tenaciously, and underground resistance organizations emerged like sparks of fire. In order to reclaim the Newton Galaxy, the Federation assembled its fleet for a strong offensive. The Newton Galaxy local fleet, as the vanguard, suffered heavy losses but successfully broke through the blockade, opening up a passage for the follow-up troops. Meanwhile, in the laboratory, Tian Kaiwen made full use of the rich resources of the central computer, frantically learning various skills, from psychology to the assassin's invisibility techniques and various military tutorials. He absorbed knowledge avidly, constantly improving himself. As time went by, Professor Boswell's research on the simulated war network entered a crucial stage. Tian Kaiwen participated in it, being responsible for data calculation and the production of simulation cabins. When this simulated war network named "Real War" was completed and opened, Tian Kaiwen remained undefeated in three hundred simulated battles by virtue of the unique tactics he had accumulated during training, thus becoming the "sneaky leader" in the eyes of everyone. Later, Nia and Meiduo, who had escaped from the battlefield with Tian Kaiwen, found him. It turned out that their battlefield recorders had been taken away by the imperial army, and Tian Kaiwen's disappearance prevented them from returning to their units. After learning that the person Nia was looking for was Tian Kaiwen, Milan informed her of his whereabouts. Eventually, the front-line command post retrieved the information from Tian Kaiwen's battlefield recorder. Although his desertion records were astonishing, the large amount of data on the imperial army's weapons and mechas contained therein, as well as key information such as his setting up of a remote-controlled energy cannon outside New Rome, made everyone realize that he might be a crucial figure in turning the tide of the war. His fate thus became closely intertwined with the war situation of the Federation, and in this universe filled with flames of war and challenges, he was writing his own legendary chapter.

In the year 2031, the earth has further advanced in its technological developments. Though there are democracies, republics, and several other systems of governance followed by various countries, there is still one country that adheres to the feudal system—the Arinphiam Empire. The empire is divided into three parts, where the royal family coexists with the central government to control the empire, keeping it as one of the strongest nations on planet Earth. The richest man on this planet belongs to this empire, where noble families still exist, governed by laws specifically made for them by the royal family instead of the central government. Marquess Avendial Croceaus has finally returned to the past, to the year 2031—a year before the tower's arrival—on the date where his downfall began. As he returns to the past, he discovers himself facing the initial setback of his life, where accusations of treason are soon to fall upon him.

Lucinda Perry, una solitaria adicta al trabajo, se promete a sí misma desmadrarse en su vigésimo quinto cumpleaños e incluso tener una aventura de una noche si obtiene la tan merecida promoción en su trabajo. A pocos días de su vigésimo quinto cumpleaños, es ascendida no solo a una posición más alta, sino también a la oficina central en otra ciudad. Al tener que pasar su noche de cumpleaños en una nueva ciudad, va al club donde se encuentra con un atractivo desconocido, Tomás Hank, quien se ofrece a ser su aventura de una noche después de ver su lista de atrevidas metas, que incluía tener una aventura de una noche. Tomás Hank, después de haber sido utilizado por varias mujeres en el pasado, está decidido a conseguir a la mujer de sus sueños que lo amaría por sí mismo y no por su dinero. Así que cuando conoce a la adorable e ingenua Lucinda Perry en el club, decide ocultarle su verdadera identidad y averiguar si valía la pena mantenerla. ***Extracto*** ¿Qué puede ser más entretenido que un personaje secundario loco? Saluden a Sonia y Bryan. El corazón de Sonia dejó de latir por un segundo, y luego diferentes pensamientos comenzaron a volar por su cabeza al mismo tiempo. ¿Bryan Hank? ¿Su amor platónico estaba de rodillas frente a ella y le pedía que fuera su esposa? ¿La estaba confundiendo con otra persona? ¿Era posible que esto fuera una broma, o tal vez se trataba de una de esas bromas de celebridades y había cámaras alrededor esperando capturarla haciendo el tonto? ¿O tal vez estaba soñando? Sonia se preguntó mientras miraba a su alrededor, pero lo único que vio fueron curiosos mirones. —¡Por favor! Sé mi esposa y hazme el hombre más feliz del mundo —dijo en un tono de voz muy fuerte que atrajo la atención de todos. Su editor, al que había estado esperando durante más de una hora porque estaba tratando de cerrar un acuerdo con un productor de cine interesado en una de sus historias, apareció en ese momento. —Sonia, ¿conoces a Bryan Hank? —preguntó su editor realmente sorprendido al ver la escena ante él. Parecía que había pasado una hora desde que Bryan se arrodilló, pero sólo había pasado un minuto. Bryan sabía que ninguna mujer estaría lo suficientemente loca como para aceptar una propuesta de matrimonio tan descabellada, y aunque hubiera alguna que lo estuviera, pagarle y cancelar todo sería fácil ya que lo único que él quería era el escándalo que podría resultar de esto. Los titulares iban a ser sobre su propuesta de matrimonio rechazada o sobre su supuesto compromiso, lo cual sería suficiente para quitar a Sophia del medio. —¡Sí! —dijo Sonia mientras movía la cabeza emocionada y extendía su dedo para que él le pusiera el anillo. —¿Sí? —preguntó Bryan confuso al escuchar su respuesta. —¡Sí! Seré tu esposa y te convertiré en el hombre más feliz del mundo! —dijo Sonia con una risita y movió los dedos hasta que Bryan deslizó el anillo en su dedo. Sorprendentemente, el anillo era de su tamaño exacto y se ajustaba a su dedo como si hubiera sido hecho sólo para ella. Aplausos estallaron a su alrededor cuando Sonia se levantó con una gran sonrisa en su rostro y abrazó a Bryan antes de besarlo directamente en los labios. Bryan estaba un poco desconcertado por su atrevimiento, pero rápidamente se recuperó ya que él era el que había comenzado el juego y debía seguir la corriente. Después de todo, él había sido quien se había acercado a ella en primer lugar. Así que cuando ella intentó romper el beso, él sostuvo su barbilla y mordisqueó lentamente su labio inferior antes de separar sus labios con la lengua y chuparla de manera sugerente, provocando un gemido de Sonia. Sonia se sentía mareada. Esto era demasiado bueno para ser verdad. Tenía que ser un sueño. ¿De qué otra manera podría explicar que un momento antes estaba sentada en el vestíbulo de un hotel esperando a su editor y al siguiente estar comprometida con su amor platónico y besándolo en público?

"When a decent living and resourceful young teenager is manipulated by a destructive "Kitsune (Japanese fox spirit)/or to say Huli Jing (Chinese fox spirit)", his life takes a drastic turn. The fox spirit, unaware of the true nature of their pact, forms a love contract with him. As they gradually fall for each other, this becomes the boy's greatest problem. Complicating matters further is the involvement of powerful gods from "Chinese and Japanese mythologies",the Tiānshì (Divine Messengers) of the Chinese gods - East, West, South, North, and Central - and the Mikoto (Divine Messenger) of the Japanese gods, particularly the central deity, Amaterasu Omikami, become entangled in their fate. Unbeknownst to the boy, the Kitsune/Huli Jing is an extraordinary, destructive fox spirit born from the combined spiritual energy of six Japanese and Chinese fox spirits. In ancient times, she was notoriously difficult to seal, requiring the collective efforts of fifteen Chinese and Japanese gods and goddesses from each direction. "Now, in the present, she has broken free from her seal, empowered by her accumulated strength". Having been sealed since childhood, she has forgotten most of her powers. However, this forgetfulness proves advantageous, as she begins to experience human emotions. Unfortunately, this newfound humanity also means facing the wrath of the gods, their Tiānshì, and Mikoto . And lastly that the female lead and the main character doesn't know his identity." Note: the cover is an ai generated I just added the title

Reincarnated as the young master of the Top family in the central region. Arrogant, prideful and genius older brother. Grand Elders whose noses are raised high to the heavens. Jade Beauties being as popular as world leaders. My background is like a plot device for a cultivation story. or so it seemed.

Eight homunculi girls, who consider each other as sisters, are brought to life in the Netherlands, Zuid-Holland, through advanced genetic engineering, each embodying one of the Seven Deadly Sins: Maeve, a Dutch princess, epitomizes pride; Benesha, of the aristocratic African Badila family, embodies wrath; Haniya al-Bacchus, a Moroccan girl, radiates lust; Mandane Esfahani, a Greek and Persian girl, personifies sloth; Eliza IJzerhart, from the wealthy Dutch IJzerhart family, exemplifies greed; Minah Sawada, a Japanese-Korean girl, manifests envy; and Kayla Graven, of Surinamese and Dutch heritage, represents gluttony. Maria, the eldest, was created without any singular sin, a supposed embodiment of perfection. However, this perceived flawlessness becomes her greatest curse. Shunned by her fourteen parents and seven sisters, Maria discovers she harbors the dormant essence of all seven sins, a power that awakens when she is abandoned. Consumed by grief and existential despair, Maria’s yearning for acceptance mutates into a thirst for vengeance. She questions her existence: was she nothing more than a prototype to ensure her sisters’ creation? Wrestling with rejection and her fractured sense of self, Maria vows to make her family experience the pain and emptiness that has defined her existence. Her quest for vengeance ignites a global catastrophe. Starting at the school she and her sisters attend, Maria unleashes a viral apocalypse, transforming humans into ravenous, vampire-like creatures. As the world crumbles, Maria’s inner turmoil and destructive power become a central challenge—not only for her sisters but also for humanity itself. Tasked with helping the homunculi overcome their sinful natures are Sansula Badila, Benesha’s human younger brother, and his partner, Hannah Katz. Their mission becomes even more urgent as they confront Maria, the most formidable and broken of the homunculi. Will they succeed in reforming Maria and her sisters, or will Maria’s darkness consume them all? Copyright © 2025, Yedidyah Beneki

Understand this book, and you can cultivate immortality. (With the mysterious power from the ancient East)

Set in an alternate wizarding world shaped by a matriarchal society, this story reimagines the familiar backdrop of Hogwarts and its surrounding conflicts. Power is inherited through the female line, and pureblood families fiercely guard their legacy amidst growing tensions with Muggleborns. The imbalance in the number of witches and wizards has made pureblood males valuable but objectified commodities, intensifying the social and political struggles within the magical world. At the heart of the story is Arcturus Regulus Black, the reincarnated son of Regulus Black. Carrying memories of a past life, Arcturus refuses to follow in the footsteps of Holly Potter, the female equivalent of the Boy Who Lived. Instead, his ambition is to break free from the constraints of his birthright, gaining power to rewrite his destiny in a society where he is marginalized by virtue of his gender. Arcturus is not alone in his reincarnation. Ronda Weasley, the female reincarnation of Ron, and Serena Prince, the female reincarnation of Severus Snape, navigate their own struggles as they reconcile their former lives with the constraints and expectations of this matriarchal world. The group faces questions of identity, legacy, and loyalty, balancing their memories of the past with the possibilities of the present. Their journey unfolds against a backdrop of political turmoil. Holly Potter, destined to fight Voldemort, plays the central role in a fight that echoes the original timeline but is subtly altered by the presence of the reincarnated souls. Simultaneously, the enigmatic Aurora Malfoy—Draco's older sister and another reincarnated soul—must contend with her family's legacy in this transformed world. Meanwhile, Hogwarts, led by Alba Dumbledore, becomes a battleground of ideologies. Dumbledore, though a figure of wisdom, unconsciously upholds the traditions of the matriarchy, while Gellert Grindelwald rises as a voice for men’s rights, creating an additional layer of conflict. The struggle between these ideologies mirrors the broader fight against Voldemort, adding complexity to the characters’ decisions. In a story that mixes politics, societal critique, and the power of memory, the young protagonists confront questions of whether to preserve the world they now inhabit or risk everything to reshape it. Their choices will define the fate of the wizarding world, testing the limits of friendship, power, and identity in a society where nothing is as it once was. Note, this story will NOT have R18 scenes at least for the first volume, if it then does, there will be a tag and you can pass. To summarize this world, it's a matriarchal version of the Harry Potter world while the muggle world remains the same. With all this shit, there are half a dozen reincarnated people of all age (mostly Hogwarts's students) who will make butterfly effects while trying to adapt to this world, including the MC. I decided to write this book as a study, I wanted to see what would happen if I decided to create parameters according to the book and then I would try adding variables to see the changes. The result is that the world is a matriarchy which thus led me to add parameters to explain the reason as to why it's a matriarchy and then to add seven reincarnated persons who will each add butterfly effects.

After years of isolation, Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle return to a Gotham teetering on the brink of collapse. Haunted by their shared past and driven by their unwavering resolve, the legendary Dark Knight and his formidable partner, Catwoman, set out to reshape the city they once fought to protect. But this is not the same Gotham they left behind. Crime has evolved, the rich exploit the poor with impunity, and the city’s heart beats to the rhythm of corruption. With superhuman strength and unmatched skills forged through years of training, Bruce emerges as a new kind of Batman—one who will rebuild Gotham from its foundation. At his side, Selina uses her cunning and connections to rally the downtrodden and infiltrate the shadows where true power hides. Together, they form an unbreakable alliance, determined to bring hope to the hopeless and justice to the corrupt. Yet, as they confront Gotham’s darkest corners, they must face their own demons and the sacrifices that come with their mission. Will their return signal the dawn of a brighter Gotham, or will the shadows claim them once more?

The native planet where a multitude of people suffering from the consequences of overpopulation and forceful servitude on Earth migrated to Crystallia via gravitational slipstream between planets. It was believed that such a feat was impossible and that a normal human being would not be able to survive such an ordeal, but then one of the most unpredictable physical phenomena in the universe besides the power of God was gravity. The galaxy collision occurred during the era of the slave trade when the supersized galaxy known as Redromida collided with the Milky Way. Naturally, none of the elements touched as the scientists had suggested, but there were phenomenons that they failed to predict. One such occurrence was the impact of the planet Crystallia disturbing the orbit of the Earth. The result of such a proximity between Crystallia, which happened to be as large as the planet Jupiter and Earth was astronomical. The resulting earthquakes and disasters shattered the very concept of living for man, and then the gravitational pathways between the planets, which lasted for more than 2 and a half years, were established. The migration began after several who had made the journey by accident had returned with glad tidings of fertile land, greener pastures, and a safe heaven from the power of the Aro and other European slave traders. The migration lasted until the gravitational slipstream ended; by then, the slave traders had discovered the path, but by the time they made plans to pursue the merchandise, the gravitational link between Earth and Crystallia had come to an end. The majority of people who made the journey were from parts of West Africa, the central parts of Asia, the Red Indians of North America and a few from the northern parts of South America. They had barely settled into their new home when the planets natural immune system was triggered, the Ẹbọras emerged intending to end the branch of humanity that had the gall to make this planet their home. The struggle for survival began; man was able to harness the crystal mined from the planet to forge an energy source, they were able to till the land to produce food, and they built large walls to shelter themselves from the Ẹbọra. As man thrived, man also adapted to this new planet; exposure to this new crystal energy and air, which was not oxygen but breathable, caused a change in man’s biological constitution. The next generation had Evolved into something else. Thus, the story begins. Adewale was killed on the streets of modern-day Lagos in the country called Nigeria; for some reason, God decided that Adewale didn’t deserve death and reincarnated him in this new world called Crystallia. He is forced to grow up quickly because of the sad state of the society he was born into, a society where the rich prey upon the poor using them as stepping stones in achieving their selfish ambitions. As a child, Adewale was forcefully recruited into the military force of the Lagos Shelter, where he was forced to use his useless ability to pave a path towards success. Through the hardship of this world, he managed to gather trusted allies and embarked on a quest of his own to take control of the Lagos shelter and end corruption. What he didn’t count on was the fact that the heart of the greedy thinks only of staying the hunger of their greed and that greed will lead to war, savagery and destruction. Thus the exciting story of Adewale begins, with his closest companion that named itself Symbiot.

In the small town of Ravenswood, an ancient well has long been the center of local legends, whispered to be cursed and tied to strange disappearances. For Evie Hart, the well is more than a story—it’s the last place her father, a historian obsessed with uncovering the truth behind the town’s myths, was seen before vanishing without a trace. All that remains of him is a journal filled with cryptic sketches and notes about a labyrinth said to lie beneath the earth. Years later, five estranged childhood friends—Evie, Sophie, Mark, Liam, and Claire—receive a mysterious letter calling them back to the well at midnight. The letter promises answers to the unresolved guilt, secrets, and tragedies that fractured their friendship years ago. Though reluctant, each feels compelled to reunite, drawn by their own personal struggles and the letter’s haunting allure. Beneath the well, they discover the labyrinth: a vast, sentient structure that feeds on guilt, betrayal, and fear. Its ever-shifting halls present not only physical challenges but psychological trials that force the group to confront their darkest secrets. As they navigate its twisted passages, the friends begin to uncover the labyrinth’s horrifying truth: it was created by a man obsessed with rewriting reality, and it thrives on the very emotions that threaten to tear them apart. With every step, the labyrinth grows more dangerous, dredging up memories of a traumatic event from their childhood—the disappearance of Sophie’s younger sister, Amy. As guilt and blame resurface, the group’s fragile trust begins to fracture. Secrets are revealed, alliances shift, and the labyrinth manipulates them, whispering offers of salvation at a terrible cost. Amid the chaos, Evie discovers her father’s connection to the labyrinth and realizes that his disappearance was no accident. The labyrinth remembers those who enter—and it never forgets.

Set in a dystopian future, Earth's central capital, the vibrant city of Riftshade, is a cesspool of crime and violence. With Earth's government focussed on defending the planet against spatial rifts, rather than governing, the people are largely left to their own devices. To make matters worse, society is suffering from a rift between two rival ideologies of personal advancement: Cybers and Mystics. In the midst of all of this, a boy lives under the tyranny and cruel games of his father, a powerful figure in one of the city's criminal syndicates. Intelligent and ruthless, this boy seeks to forge his own path and take revenge on his father. Finally, he gets his chance when others scheme to get control of the powers lying dormant in his genes. Can he use their schemes to his advantage, and take power into his own hands? How will he use the powers of sin? This story is about his rise to become the Lord of Runes, and it starts on the day he met Luna... *** I gave it both anti-hero and villain tags because, while my MC is an anti-hero in that he searched for personal revenge and freedom, he eventually will start to lean more towards villain/anti-villain behaviour.

In the gloomy Old blood Castle in central Transylvania, Drake is born. The youngest heir to a powerful lineage of vampires that has ruled the night for generations. However, from his first cry (which sounded more like an out of tune sneeze), it was clear that Drake was not an ordinary vampire, he couldn't take his bottle of blood, he always wanted it with milk and coarseness. With small prey that insist on not growing and a bat-like flight that invariably ends in disastrous collisions. He is the opposite of the grace and grandeur that his family values ​​so much. While his ancestors desperately try to teach him the ways of vampirics – the arrogant posture, the mesmerizing gaze and the impeccable attack – Drake seems more inclined to create hilarious situations; he is very good at everything he sets out to do: pouring cups of blood into his father's ceremonial cloaks, tripping over coffins. His initiation with a rabbit ended up adopting him as a pet. Despite his clumsy nature, the Earl, his stern father, firmly believes that, in time, the nobility of his lineage will speak louder and Drake will become worthy of Oldblood Castle. But will Drake's clumsy essence be his undoing, or could it, in unexpected ways, be the key to rewriting his family's history? A story full of humor, tenderness and lessons about acceptance and growth, showing that even the clumsiest of vampires has a unique shine.
