Kronk Emperor'S New Groove

WARNING! CONTAINS DARK CONTENT! Six Concubines, One Emperor. One he hates the most. But why? When Princess Aurora Evanov of Rovamer is married off to Emperor Tesarius Izekail of Lanterbur, she is met with hostility from all sides. Being the last concubine among the six, she is often bullied for her naive and sensitive nature and disregarded for being a foreigner. If Aurora thought she's find some solace in their shared husband, she is awfully proven wrong. Tesarius harbors an uncertain hatred towards to foreign princess, so much, that he makes a mockery of Aurora's presence in the palace, by making her the one and only Consort wearing a mask. Aurora, being the naive girl that she is, continues to follow Tesarius's unjust orders in order to achieve his love. Hoping that someday he'll see her worth. But all that flies out of the window when the Harem is attacked. But no one comes to save Aurora. Not even her beloved Emperor. Realizing that she had been blinded by one sided love and was never going to win this battle, Aurora tosses her love for the Emperor aside, and decides to make her own place in Palace. But how will she do that? When she is surrounded by Hyena's from all sides? Will Aurora's naive nature succeed? Or will she wither away in the middle of Royal politics? Or, Will Tesarius eventually regret his actions, and realize his long lost love for her? If so, Will Aurora ever accept him back?

In a world where cultivation determines fate and bloodlines dictate power, the Shen Family—once rulers of an empire—now lives in exile, their lineage hunted by the reigning dynasty. To survive, they have embraced the darkest paths: cannibalistic blood refinement, human pill alchemy, and merciless power struggles. Born into this ruthless clan, Shen Li should have been another nameless pawn, a lowly descendant doomed to mediocrity. He lacks talent in martial arts, his bloodline is only third-grade, and his peers see him as expendable. But Shen Li has something no one else does: a mysterious cauldron with the power to refine living beings. With this artifact, he begins a secretive path of Gu refinement, experimenting on insects, animals, and eventually—humans. What starts as a means to prove his worth to the clan turns into something much more sinister. Through the cauldron, he discovers that devouring others can awaken his dormant bloodline, pushing him beyond human limits. But in the Shen Family, power invites suspicion—and betrayal.

Tian Yongheng is a person who regained his past life memories after his family was brutally slaughtered.

Armed with a unique system of unknown origins and his obsession with immortality, he sets forth to carve a way of his own in this world where fate toys with one's very existence itself and cosmic horror-like beings devour universes for fun. However, can he really touch the illusory, eternal and ethereal Immortal Dao that is everlasting and everchanging? Will he ever be able to reach the end of this grand path to eternity, establishing himself as a myth and beyond? or will he also drown in the long river of history just like many others? ------- The background settings and world building of this story are greatly inspired by Top Tier Providence, Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years. the main characters are also pretty similar, so if you like stories where the MC is a hidden powerhouse who, despite being hidden, is still known across the world, then you can give it a try.

Avyzhia is a regular office lady who enjoyed playing MMORPG on her free time, apparently too much that it somehow even caused her untimely death. For some reason though, she woke up not in the afterlife but actually in the world she got so familiar with through her computer screen, and in the body of the character she worked so hard to cultivate. For someone who considered the World of Genus as a reality, being reincarnated in it is a dream come true, more so if it's in the body of the character she spent countless of hours nurturing. She couldn't wait to live her second life to the fullest. But everything seems to be more complicated than she thought when she found out that she's actually part of a prophecy and conspiracy that was not in the guide books and walkthroughs she buried herself with in her previous life. The worst part is, not only did everyone around her considered her dangerous, but it seems that the most powerful being in the continent is also after her life. .-. .~. .π. .~. .-. After the Dragon Emperor conquered the continent 2 decades ago, he couldn't be bothered by anything anymore, not the curse that a guardian deity put on him, nor the prophecy that foretold of his end. That is until he heard of a rumor about a survivor of the race that he drove to extinction many years ago. With the intention of finishing what he started, he did not hesitate to come after the said survivor only to encounter something very unexpected, that curiously made him feel unknown emotions, pushing him to do crazy things that never crossed his mind before... to the point that he didn't mind offering her his life, if it meant he can make her his.

As Vanta battles for survival, a prophecy whispered in the shadows foretells of a coming war. The fate of Al rests upon his shoulders, and the choice he makes will determine the fate of a world painted in hues of power, betrayal, and hope.

He received the True God Emperor System, something fate denied him - but the planes willed. Lacking nothing, wanting nothing is how he shall live from this day forth.
