"In Qiyuan, kissing is an act of mutual surrender. To ask for a kiss is to ask someone to be yours, while offering yourself in return. On that note, making love is a common practice and is regarded as deeply romantic." —Book 1 of Romances in Qiyuan— Haruki had no memories prior to his awakening. With only his black katana and his name to ground him in an identity, he lived through every encounter on pure instinct and a great deal of luck. But it wasn't until he locked eyes with Lanling, those sky-blue orbs gazing at him with the stillness of a lake, that he believed his luck had finally peaked. Shamelessly, he integrated into General Lanling Cheng's army, finding the man even more pleasing to his eyes the longer he watched over him. But as Haruki learned more about his new idol, he began to realize just how deep their connection ran, how precious the memories stolen from him were, and how deeply he loved this man. No matter how many times his mind was wiped clean, his feelings seemed to cross beyond the boundaries of memory, for he had long branded the image and name of Lanling Cheng into the very depths of his soul. He could only hope for a day when the curse that plagued them—this curse that relentlessly tested their love—would finally be shattered, and they could live on with their lives in peace. ~#~#~#~#~#~ [Volumes Synopsis] —Volume 1 [1-50] Amidst the war between the Silver Dragons and the Black Pythons, familiar faces and voices seemed to emerge from nowhere, as though fate itself were playing a cruel game, tugging relentlessly at Haruki’s mind—almost desperate to make him remember his past. But to Haruki, the most important thing was meeting and shamelessly flirting with the general, so he couldn’t care less. Besides, Lanling had told him not to remember, and who was he to disobey his future wife? —Volume 2 [51-145] Haruki and his friends find themselves in a typical isekai setting! At least, that's what Haruki originally thought. But soon, he realized the waters in the palace ran deep, and his connection to whatever schemes were brewing here stretched all the way back to before he even came to... Earth? So, he's a local? Oh, and there’s that Lanling Cheng… Haruki: ...God, why is he so hot? —Volume 3 [146~300] Lanling lost his best friend… his boyfriend… his fated lover. And the loneliness brought by the sudden emptiness gripped his heart every day, almost driving him mad, scorching anyone who dared touch his reverse scale. But just as he gave up dodging the oncoming claws of a chimera, the wind swept him away—into a familiar embrace. Haruki had come back. With a new identity, a new family, and a new… fiancé?! Lanling was in tatters. How had his boyfriend become someone else’s fiancé?? Determined to win him back, he appoints Haruki as his knight, keeps him by his side at all times, and climbs into his bed at night… ~#~#~#~#~#~ —updates every Sunday [M]—Mature Content Server: https://discord.gg/cMqPN7WVbf Art: @minttea5 Best Unca Consultant: Zeriq Haruk [for worldbuilding]

"When the Seven Realms are divided and hope fades into darkness, a warrior is born, walking the path between life and death. His eyes hold the prophecy of destruction, and his sword carves the fate of worlds. Is he the long-awaited savior, or the inevitable embodiment of annihilation?"

Apollo Musashi, the main character is a hard worker. Training each day to get stronger and stronger. He has aspirations of being above everything and has the will to make it happen. With this story I dream of bringing back old Shounen and characters that are mean in just the right way. I've seen many new shows try to make their characters as nice as possible, and although I'm making my character nice, he going to be a bit of a pain in the ass. I'm going to try to make the most realistic characters I can make within the confines of this verse. I watch most things nowadays realizing many of these character are just too unbelievably nice with no outbursts and I find that entirely unrealistic. No, I'm not going to have a harem for the main character, because that too I believe is entirely unrealistic from the real world. Without a further adue, I hope you like it.

Nox was a simple E-Rank mutant in a world set one thousand years after the catastrophic atomic war that had wiped out most of humanity. His quiet life with his family was tragically cut short when villains, fearing the potential of his sister’s S-Rank abilities, attacked. Only Nox, who had no powers to threaten them, was spared. In the midst of his pain and grief, the world granted him a blessing, causing him to explode with power and awaken as an SSS-Rank superhero. However, despite these newfound powers, Nox struggles to control them. He often ends up failing as a superhero, unintentionally causing harm to others. Determined to improve, he joins the Superhero Academy to learn how to master his abilities. But his stoic expression and emotionless face make it difficult for others to connect with him. People call him a villain, but deep down, Nox desires nothing more than to save people, a wish he holds dear, along with the dream of his sister, who he can no longer see in this world. *Updates: New chapters every day at 1 PM CST (China Standard Time, UTC +8)* *No smut or direct romance in the story* *OP protagonist with limited control over his powers, but improving over time* *A wide focus on the Academy with many characters to connect with* *No harem* *The story will focus on the superhero aspect, with plenty of good vs evil action* *This is my third book, and I hope you enjoy it!

During the Sengoku period, one of the most brutal times in Japanese history, Takayama Ukon, a young and devout Christian samurai, found himself forced to serve under Oda Nobunaga, a man despised by Ukon's father, Soemon. This allegiance, born out of the necessity for survival amid the constant conflicts, would lead Ukon down a path where, over the years, he would find himself against those he once served and helped, while standing alongside those he had killed and helped to kill—men who shared his faith. As Ukon's purpose and cause were redefined, he came to understand the path he must follow. He realized that his survival had become a weapon in the fight for the survival of those who sought his death and those who sought his help. If necessary, there would be war, blood, and tears. But despite all the darkness, there would also be light. Thus, the Pillar of the Japanese Cross was born, and from this birth would emerge another pillar—Amakusa Shiro, a young man who, while understanding that he needed death for life, also understood that he needed life for death. Later, he would lead a revolt that shone, not in the world's victories, but in the most victorious defeats ever seen.

in a world similar to feudal japan a fisher man is on an adventure with a female samurai to free the river from the greedy bandit king and put an end to his corrupt city it is a silly hobby to pass time and is only being done because I couldn't stop thinking of it I honestly enjoyed this a bit more than I though I would so some tips would be nice if you have any

Null never wanted excitement,fame or even riches and a quiet, comfortable life a woman to call his own then a family to go along But every one at the age of 16 at least that was the common age but even those younger would be sent to Military school reason being they would be sent to war a Planetary war the Domineer's a alien humanoid species's that were supernatural in all aspects and humankind were at war,humankind began to progress immensely because technology from the Domineer's was scavenged then replicated The war caused 70% of humankind to be killed,yet there was hope as apprence of abilities starting from a lone soldier in despair activated his METAGENE'S making this man the first Meta-Human.

A samurai who is banished to a world where he doesn't age after the death of his lord. He trains in that world and returns to the original world again where many centuries have passed and he sets on a journey to kill the mastermind behind his exile.

As the author of this book I should give a fair warning: the first chapters are a scam!! Okay, let me explain. The character that you most likely think is the protagonist, is not the protagonist. Why? Honestly, idk, I just felt like doing it. Makes the story feel more realistic and approachable because every character is worth something. The story follows a male lead, Ju Min-Jung, who at one point in his life was a normal middle-aged man from Korea. He gets transmigrated to a world called Einar as Lychipher Klein in which becoming quote-unquote a "god", is not just possible, but relatively common. Years have gone by in a flash and Lychipher has enjoyed a simple and laid-back life, going by the nickname of Whiskey. The story starts when a contracted guild summons the lovecraftian inspired eldritch entity known as Dietrich, which fragmented itself into several variants born from chosen women. The fragments each have the distinct feature of white hair and can be released when the variant is killed. When all the variants are killed each fragment will be fused allowing Dietrich to form in Einar. This quickly escalates into family feuds, mystery, mystism and the occult. Questions emerge perpetually the instant one is answered, mysterious forces are at work pulling the strings behind closed curtains and fate seems to be the greatest for of all.... What to expect: Firstly is the world of Einar. It's a world entirely fictional so don't try to wrap your head around the timeline because I honestly just smashed several themes that I liked together. Originally, I chose for late 16th century baroque and renaissance, but later I also added elements of the western victorian era, the wild west and more. Now the next thing to expect is probably not something you'll appreciate much, and that is slow pacing. I know, I know —you're probably screaming "whyyy!?". But it's best for the story to play out the way it should, ya' know- instead of rushing it. Besides, going for a mysterious factor demands slow pacing because otherwise the mystery is short-lived.

The elevator stank of burnt wiring and adrenal sweat. Lucas Hayes came to consciousness with his cheek pressed against cold steel, the floor vibrating with the machine's perpetual ascent. A cracked display panel flickered: DAY 9 | SAFETY DURATION 00:03:44. Three warped tones echoed as the system imprinted directly onto his retinas: [Precognitive Matrix Activated] [Sector Transition Imminent] His vision fractured into augmented reality overlays. Bloodshot eyes darted between floating diagnostics: [Destination: Floor 248] Threat Classification: Standard Biohazards (Homo corruptus) x20 Recommended Arsenal: Bladed weapons (76% efficacy) Reward Manifest: Silver Cache (Full eradication required) Lucas gripped the shock-baton strapped to his thigh, its ceramic surface still smeared with luminescent fungal spores from yesterday's skirmish. The elevator's speakers emitted a decaying piano chord as new text scrolled through static: [Destination: Floor 249] Containment Unit: Obsidian Reliquary (SCP-XXXX Variant) Threat Level: White (Placid) His boot tapped rhythm against the floor where Natalie Evans had bled out seven cycles ago. The memory played in crystal clarity - her screams syncing perfectly with the elevator's current pitch-shifted rendition of Clair de Lune. [Destination: Floor 250] Entity Designation: Noctis lamia (Cognitive Hazard Class C)* Survival Probability: 41.2±18% The control panel erupted in fractal patterns as reality glitched. Lucas glimpsed William Carter's skeleton key lodged in the emergency brake slot - the same key that had melted through three layers of Kevlar when its owner died. "Beta protocol. Always beta." He smashed blood-crusted knuckles against the floor selector. The elevator screamed in harmonic resonance as it deviated from its programmed path.

"When your bride candidate is a godkiller, a cyberghost, and the paradox of time itself, the countdown to the wedding becomes the death knell for humanity." Archaeologist Alex Carter never imagined that a mysterious crystal he dug up in Turkey would be a betrothal gift from an ancient god. With the 72-hour countdown burned into his retina, three "brides" from parallel worlds force their way into his life: Lilith, the memory witch of Eternal Night City, the red-headed death who weaves traps with the fragments of other people's lives; Elena, the mechanical wanted criminal of Cyberyuan Ruins, a dark humorist whose brain has been replaced by 30% of the ancient god's tentacles; The paradoxical samurai Michiko of Sakura Knife country, the evil god suppressed by the family for generations is the object she must marry. In this twisted doomsday engagement, Alex discovers an even harsher truth: Each "bride" is a carefully nurtured switch for the end of the world by the ancient gods, and he is just a breathing chip in the gods' game plate.
