Once a mere spectator in the grand game of gods and mortals, he finds himself thrust into a desperate struggle for survival after a fateful encounter with a group of reckless adventurers. With only his wits and the remnants of an ancient dungeon core at his disposal, he must navigate the treacherous landscape of dungeon-building, gathering resources, and facing relentless threats. As he delves deeper into the mysteries of his newfound powers, he discovers the ability to summon guardians and craft traps that will turn the tide of battle. But with each victory comes a price. Rival adventurers seek to claim the power of his dungeon for themselves, and ancient secrets threaten to unravel everything he has built. As he faces increasingly formidable foes, the Architect must confront the true nature of power and the burden of his role in a game controlled by gods. Will he rise to become a legend of his design, or will he be crushed beneath the weight of ambition and fate? In a world where every choice matters, the Architect must forge his path through cunning and strategy, building a dungeon that not only serves as a sanctuary but becomes a force to be reckoned with. Join him on this thrilling journey through a realm of magic, danger, and endless possibilities—where the only limit is the depth of his imagination. Also I want to say to my readers that I'm not perfect and free free to say your mind, I'm open to correction, even more to criticisms.

In a world where kingdoms rise and fall, a seasoned player unexpectedly finds himself transmigrated into the very game he once mastered—Caldera. However, his new life as a ruler comes with a crushing twist: severe debuffs and harsh restrictions on his talents make survival nearly impossible. Against overwhelming odds, he fights tooth and nail to carve out a legacy. Despite his brilliance in strategy and marvels in combat, failure becomes his ultimate fate. But fate offers him another chance. Reborn at the start of the game, now without the crippling debuffs and armed with all the knowledge, experience, and hard-won lessons of his previous life, he faces the world anew.

I hope you have a great time reading this! If you’d like to support this novel, please rate it or leave any kind of comment. Any feedback will help it gain more exposure. Thank you!

Wang Zhong arrived in an alternate world and became embroiled in this world's global war. What he gained was a cheat, akin to a real-time strategy game's overhead perspective, and he could even see through the eyes of his subordinates' units! So, he decisively started micro-managing, "Shift the machine gun position five centimeters to the left! Place the anti-tank cannon in the forest on the right!" Three years passed in this manner, and Wang Zhong looked at the marshal's baton in his hand, then at the double-headed eagle flag behind the emperor's envoy. "In my hometown, there's an old saying, 'Princes and generals, are they not sprung from the masses?' Envoy, do you know of it?"

Introduction: (Confiscation + Exile + Medical Skills + Space + Farming + Strategy + Wife Chasing + 1v1 + Return to the Pinnacle) After her death, the versatile doctor Qi Yue transmigrated and became the fat wife used for luck in marriage by the disabled Marquis of Beiyuan Kingdom. Just as she entered the grand gates of the Marquis Residence, the cruel Emperor came to confiscate everything. With exile imminent, Qi Yue activated her space ability, emptied the Marquis’s storeroom, and incidentally plundered the Emperor’s private store. To think that she, a General’s daughter, was poisoned by her relatives, ended up with a body full of fat, and had to endure the hardships of exile? Qi Yue: “Since they dared to send me to hell, don't blame me for dragging them down with me.” The Place of Exile is poor, broken, and filled with indigenous murderers? Qi Yue: “Bring two to kill a pair, let's see who dies more!” One day, the disabled Marquis suddenly stood up, his radiant appearance causing countless young girls to scream? Qi Yue: “Since we haven't performed the marriage rites, love whoever you want.” Facing disdain, the Marquis narrowed his phoenix eyes, “Prepare for a grand wedding!”

Eines Tages, als sie betrunken war, behauptete sie, sie wolle den gefürchteten Onkel ihres Ex-Verlobten, den Dritten Meister Fu, umwerben. In der Ecke kicherte jemand. "Dritter Fu, dieses Mädchen ist so dreist. Sie sagt, sie wolle Ihnen nachstellen?" Die Augen von jemandem verdunkelten sich. "Guter Geschmack." Später... Ihr Ex-Freund kam mit seiner schwangeren Geliebten auf dem Arm herein und prostete ihr zu. Ein gewisser Jemand schlenderte herüber und die beiden begrüßten ihn gehorsam. "Dritter Onkel." Fu Chen sah Song Fengwan an, der neben ihm stand, und sagte: "Nennt sie Dritte Tante." In jedermanns Augen sieht der Dritte Meister Fu nach außen hin freundlich aus, ist aber im Inneren rücksichtslos. In Song Fengwans Augen hingegen ist er ein sehr verführerischer alter Mann. Alle: Ich glaube, wir kennen nicht dieselbe Person.

Shi Feng was an ordinary, laid-back university student with little ambition and a knack for procrastination—until the day a single offhand wish turned his life upside down. When the mysterious Wish System appeared before him, offering the power to fulfill others' desires in exchange for points, Shi Feng’s world suddenly expanded. From small, everyday wishes to life-changing dreams, each fulfilled wish not only earns him points but brings him closer to achieving his own aspirations. The system is simple: Fulfill wishes to earn points. Use points to grant your own desires. The bigger the wish, the greater the reward. But there’s a catch—Shi Feng must navigate the tricky balance of helping others while hiding his newfound powers. As his journey unfolds, Shi Feng discovers that granting wishes isn’t always straightforward, especially when human nature, unexpected challenges, and his own desires come into play. From earning skills that turn him into a master chef overnight to using his wits to solve complex problems, Shi Feng quickly learns that strategy and creativity are just as important as his golden finger. With an ambitious vision, a growing list of fulfilled wishes, and a system that could make him unstoppable, Shi Feng embarks on a slow-paced yet extraordinary journey of self-discovery, humor, and the occasional chaos. Can Shi Feng rise from mediocrity to greatness, or will the pressures of fulfilling wishes—and his own ambitions—be too much to handle? Find out in "I Have a Wish System," a modern urban fantasy brimming with wit, charm, and an endless stream of wishes waiting to be granted. ---

"Mana to breathe, mana to eat, mana to fucking live," Inhale: -0.001 MP… oops! You're out of mana points. (Pay-to-breathe RPG.) Humanity's last walled stronghold. _____ In the world Elio lives, every gasp of air comes at a price. A floating indestructible book for every human, a magical system that turns survival into a pay-to-breathe RPG. Here, poverty isn't just being broke, it's choking. Surrounded by barren land and a sea of monsters on top of it (No water, just literal monsters), each day is a suffocating dance of survival, a balancing act between mana for air and mana for food. In this economy, holding your breath isn't just a game, it's a retirement plan. Driven by desperation (and the city's miserly rulers that don’t cut anyone a break), Elio dives into the Book System’s trials to save his family. Along the way, he unlocks powers he didn’t ask for and starts to figure out... Who he really is. Immerse yourself in an adventure where one young man's stubborn refusal to become a statistic could spark a revolution. Who knew being a pain in the system's rear could change the world? Because in Elio's world, breathing is just the beginning of the revolution and... he's gasping for change. But hey, who said saving the world had to be all doom and gloom? Join Elio as he kicks monster butt, uncovers ancient secrets, and maybe, just maybe, figures out how to grow a tree or two along the way. __________ Warning: May contain traces of world domination, an unhealthy obsession with the periodic table, damage points, progression math, and yes, even a sprinkle of that old "power of friendship" magic. Because sometimes, you need a buddy to help you remember which element does what or even help you calculate those sweet, sweet stats. A quick heads-up: Despite what the cover might suggest, this isn’t a hack-and-slash adventure. Think more along the lines of a turn-based RPG, where strategy and choices matter as much as action. Get ready for a different kind of challenge! If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's our first FL crying and crossing the transparent barrier straight into a pixelated, indistinguishable sea of monsters. Because why not mix emotions with chaos? She's crazy like that! (Not really... or is she?) Discord to check the visuals: https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 I’m still working on it in the little moments I find between writing, editing, making more character images, etc. Little by little, we’ll have a Poked... uh, a full SummonDex!

Journal Entry #107: One hundred and seven lives so far. That’s how long I’ve been resetting to this same, shitty point in time. I’ve died in every way imaginable, burned, stabbed, crushed, betrayed. Each time, I come back, the clock resets, and humanity hurtles toward extinction all over again. The Xa’tarii don’t need to destroy us. We’re perfectly capable of tearing ourselves apart. I’ve tried to stop it. A hundred times, I’ve failed. But time doesn’t stop for me. I wish it would. I wish I could die for good. Yet, despite everything, I still have hope. So all I can do is keep going. And try again. -- end of transmission -- For centuries, humanity has fought a losing war against the alien Xa’tarii. Every attempt to unite has ended in failure, every plan foiled by betrayal, greed, or fear. Talon Graves is one man trapped in an endless cycle, reliving the fight over and over in a desperate attempt to find the path that will save humanity. This is his story, from the first life where he was just a kid. To the hundredth and beyond, trapped in an endless cycle. Each step, each decision, brings him closer to breaking the cycle or losing himself entirely. Perhaps even both. Will Talon’s hope be enough to defy fate, or will humanity fall to its own flaws once more? -- Hello everyone! If you’ve made it this far into the summary, and I still haven’t convinced you to click on that first chapter, let me share a little more about what you can expect from this book. This story offers a unique power system, one inspired by cultivation but with my own twist to make it truly distinct. It’s a universe where intergalactic warfare takes center stage, featuring everything from the awe-inspiring World Enders who can destroy planets with a thought, to the smallest soldiers fighting tooth and nail for survival. Every individual matters, and every battle leaves its mark. In this universe, it’s all about scale. Even a world-ending Super is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. When wars span entire galaxies and civilizations vie for dominance across universal borders, the impact of a single Super, no matter how powerful, is often a morale boost or the elimination of key high-profile targets, including enemy World Enders themselves. Victory here isn’t determined by raw strength alone but by strategy, sacrifice, and the countless individuals who shape the tide of war. So, if you’re looking for a story that combines relentless action, intricate power systems, and the weight of interstellar stakes, then this might just be the book for you. I hope you’ll give it a chance, click that first chapter, and let’s dive in together. P.S. I’ll be writing this for the long haul, so if you’re expecting a gritty, determined, and powerful individual right from the start, this isn’t that kind of story. Instead, you’ll follow a journey of growth, struggle, and transformation as Talon learns to navigate a brutal universe and carve his place in it. Enjoy!

When the fashion landscape begins to shift, and new competitors threaten their dominance, Ethan and Olivia realize that the only way to secure their futures is to join forces.

In "Merger of Hearts," ambition and love become intertwined as Ethan and Olivia learn that true power doesn't come from domination alone, but from the vulnerability of opening their hearts. Together, they must face not only external challenges from rivals and the ever-changing market but also the internal struggle of reconciling their growing affection with their carefully guarded independence. Will their partnership be enough to withstand the pressures of their world? Or will the very merger that was supposed to make them invincible become the thing that tears them apart?

In the late 19**, Lobo Dhib, an orphan from a forgotten and ancient land, embarks on a perilous quest for revenge. His life has been defined by suffering, each hardship traced back to a single, elusive figure who shattered his world. Consumed by vengeance, Lobo sets out to find this person, willing to risk everything to confront them. His search leads him to Arcadia, a sprawling city ruled by five powerful mafia syndicates, each more dangerous than the last. These criminal empires control not only the city’s underworld but also its most prized asset: mastery over one of the nine elemental powers. In this world, every human is born with the ability to control one element—fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, ice, metal, shadow, or light—but no one can wield more than one. Arcadia's Big Five use their elemental abilities to maintain control over the city, turning it into a dangerous battleground for anyone daring to oppose them. For Lobo, Arcadia is the final step in his journey for revenge. He knows that the person responsible for his suffering is hiding within one of the Big Five syndicates, pulling strings from the shadows. Each mafia group dominates a part of the city with their unique element, from the fiery aggression of the Scarlet Blades to the icy control of the Vero Cielo. Navigating these criminal empires is not just a test of survival, but a deadly game of strategy, where every step could either bring Lobo closer to his goal—or cost him his life. Lobo's mastery over his own element is the key to his survival, but in a city full of elemental powerhouses, it might not be enough. As he infiltrates the underworld, he must form alliances with those who may betray him and fight enemies far stronger than himself. Arcadia is a city of chaos, where the wrong move could end his life, but Lobo knows that the only way to find his target is to dive headfirst into this deadly game. His revenge may come at the cost of his life, but for Lobo Dhib, that’s a price worth paying.

(TLDR at the bottom) Jackson, a regular high school student, is tragically caught in the crossfire of a gunfight on his way to school and dies from his injuries in the hospital. When Jackson opens his eyes, he finds himself in an endless, grand library. After wandering the library, Jackson meets a man who introduces himself as Brakos, the primordial spirit of time, stories, and knowledge. Brakos explains that the multiverse is real, and he enjoys watching people use their imagination to create stories and embark on grand adventures. Brakos saw great potential in Jackson and was excited, but saddened when Jackson was shot. He made arrangements for Jackson's soul to enter the library after his death. Still processing everything, Jackson asks Brakos, "What is going to happen to me now?" Brakos replies “Well that's up to you Jackson, I am offering you the chance to become an Isekai character in any world of your choosing.” Jackson is shocked by Brakos's offer and takes a moment to process everything, while Brakos patiently smiles at him. “Jackson suddenly says, "Okay, but I have a few questions first." Brakos smiles and agrees to answer Jackson's questions, and for a while, Jackson asks one question after another, with Brakos responding to each. After hours of questioning, Jackson takes some time to think and then says something that surprises Brakos. Jackson requests to be reincarnated in a magical world with three powers: the ability to summon spirits and form contracts with them, the ability to use special abilities contained in books we create together and to be reborn as a Primogenitor—a being capable of creating and leading a new race. Brakos stands speechless, wide-eyed, making sure he heard Jackson's request correctly. Brakos looks at Jackson, smiling to himself, thinking that he may have found someone capable of surpassing his expectations. Brakos laughs and agrees to fulfill Jackson's wish, but warns him that becoming a Primogenitor in that world is dangerous. The race he creates will depend on his actions, and other Primogenitors may try to kill him and claim his creation. Jackson smiles, assuring Brakos that he has a plan to create his race and protect himself. As he explains his strategy, Brakos is amazed by the creativity and ingenuity of Jackson's ideas. Brakos asks, "I understand, but I have one question: What will you name the race you create?" Jackson smiles and declares, "This race shall be known as the Draconians." _____________ TLDR Jackson is a person that reincarnates into another world as a primogenitor (they are creators/first of a race like Adam and Eve are the first humans in the bible) and brings forth a new race called the Draconians.

To most, it will look like he is taking notes about an existing race but in reality, he is changing the race itself. Follow Jack as he learns about the world he lives in now as he goes to a magic school, gains the powers of spirits and even becomes the creator of a brand new race that can fight against the gods themselves. _____________ Not a harem or romance novel. Will be a BL eventually but will not be the focus of the story. Just want to build up the world right now.

Please excuse any mistakes or spelling errors, and feel free to correct me in the comments. I’d really appreciate any feedback on how the story is going.

"Ruins of Tomorrow" After being abruptly thrown into a post-apocalyptic, devastated world, Kazuki, a regular high school student, learns that survival calls for more than just bravery-it also calls for strategy, sacrifice, and trust. Kazuki, who has no recollection of how or why he got there, must make his way through a broken world full of hideous animals, diminishing supplies, and the ruins of a once-thriving society. Kazuki discovers signs of a larger plan as he tries to adjust, one that suggests his existence in this world is anything than coincidental. Kazuki must develop from an inexperienced teenager into a resourceful leader while juggling humorous times with the harsh realities of survival and facing both internal and external threats. Kazuki must choose between surviving and rebuilding amid the Ruins of Tomorrow in a world where hope is limited, alliances are brittle, and the distinction between humanity and survival is hazy.
