(I entered the WSA contest, I hope for your support) After defeating the "Great Evil" Antares, Liam was reincarnated 10,000 years into the future as Lucius Behringer, and he was awakened along with something called a "Hero Window" that only he can see, and the Hero Window's only function is to regain the power of his previous life. However, in the future, only three of the four Heroes are mentioned. Liam, who defeated the Great Evil Antares, seems to be unknown, and his name is only remembered as a "Hero of No Merit." To find out why he is not recognized as the hero who defeated the Great Evil Antares, Lucius must travel to the "Hero Sanctuary," one of the four hero academies in the world. To find out why he is not mentioned, he needs to enter and investigate something called the "Fragmented Dimension," where only a few entrances exist in the world, and the Hero Sanctuary has one of those entrances.

In this world, there are people who, despite having both talent and luck, always fall a step short of happiness, and Lin Xiaoguai, unfortunately yet fortunately, is among them. Born in the sixties as the beloved youngest daughter in her family, Lin Xiaoguai was both beautiful and intelligent. However, she was burdened with four mediocre and weak older brothers and four formidable sisters-in-law. Her family background was initially poor, dimming her prospects, but just at the right age, she encountered the restoration of the college entrance examination and succeeded in entering university. Her father, overjoyed by the occasion, went to sleep never to wake again, leaving Lin Xiaoguai devastated and ill. During her high fever and delirium, her greedy in-laws married her off. Fortunately, she met a decent man, but his family proved to be a relentless headache, ultimately costing her the ability to become a mother. Disheartened, she divorced and moved far away. On her own, she carved out a new world in the city, living comfortably and leisurely with money and leisure, but unexpectedly, in her later years, she suddenly acquired a powerful ability that should have appeared decades earlier. Thankfully, her broad-mindedness prevented her from succumbing to depression. When calamity struck, she thought her end had come but woke to find herself back at the beginning. Considering her past, Lin Xiaoguai realized that if she wasted this second chance, she would truly be foolish.

On an ordinary day, Lucius stumbled upon a strange, run-down shop. At first, he assumed it was abandoned—until he stepped inside. [You have entered the Universal Alchemy Store.] [Congratulations! You are now the store’s owner.] [Please craft your first potion.] Lucius blinked. 'What kind of joke is this?' But as if guided by an unseen force, he followed the instructions. Minutes later, his first creation was complete. [Love Potion: The drinker will fall in love with the first person they lay eyes on.] Lucius swallowed hard. 'Wait… does this actually work?' Before he could process it, the shop’s door swung open. Standing in the entrance was no ordinary customer—she was an elf. Long, pointed ears, mesmerizing green eyes, and a body sculpted by the gods. A visitor from another world. A dangerous thought crept into his mind. 'Should I test it on her?' ----------------- Disclaimer: This book has mature content.

At Luminaire Academy, the nation’s most elite institution, students are meticulously ranked from S to E, their status dictating their future. But beneath the academy’s prestigious facade lies a web of corruption, hidden experiments, and a hierarchy built to control the brightest minds. Enter Kazuki Rei, an unremarkable transfer student placed in E-Rank, the lowest tier. To his peers, he is just another failure, barely worth noticing. In reality, Kazuki is a calculating genius, a master manipulator hiding behind an unassuming facade.

Armed with perfect memory, unparalleled psychological insight, and a mind sharpened by years of training, Kazuki moves like a shadow, subtly pulling strings to dismantle the oppressive system from within. As he ascends through the ranks outwitting rivals, exposing hidden experiments, and uncovering encrypted messages from his father he edges closer to the truth behind Project Enlightenment, a secret research initiative that may have cost his parents everything. But as Kazuki rises, so do the stakes. The academy’s overseers are watching. Other enhanced students lurk in the shadows. And at the heart of Luminaire Academy lies a truth even Kazuki may not be prepared to face. In a world where intelligence is power and trust is a liability, Kazuki Rei must play the long game. Because in this academy, every move is a test, and one wrong step could turn the puppeteer into the puppet.

Kyle's life was lazy and ordinary, but little did he know something extraordinary lay dormant deep inside his body. All his life, he remained unaware that everything happens for a reason. Everything changed when he turned 16. His older brothers, fed up with his laziness, devised a plan to teach him a lesson. They urged him to take the entrance test for a prestigious academy, thinking that getting a beating in the test would instill some sense into their lazy brother. Kyle was stunned, speechless, but due to their coordinated planning, he reluctantly agreed with a hint of resignation. "I don't think I will pass the test anyway, so trying it for the experience isn't a big deal." "The only problem is, I can't guarantee that all my body parts will stay intact until the end of the entrance test." But to Kyle's shock, he passed the test without even lifting a finger! Still, he was convinced that he would eventually be kicked out of the academy due to his lack of strength. But the moment he set foot in the academy, he discovered something incredible about himself. He was special and nature's favorite. . . . ______ (#It's my first time writing. So, support me with ps, gt and gifts. Hehe, THANK YOU) (Note: The cover is not mine, found it from pinterest.

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of China's Republican Era (1912-1949), this novel chronicles the uncanny adventures of Li Beidou, a feng shui master born under a portentous celestial alignment. His birth coincided with the winter solstice—a liminal moment of cosmic transition between Yin and Yang—marked by an omen: every black dog in the village went mad, hurling themselves to their deaths beneath the ancient huai tree at the village entrance. Hailing from a lineage of funeral attire shopkeepers who clothed the dead, Beidou's destiny shifted during a feverish delirium when he encountered the Yin-Inquiring Matriarch, a spectral figure who inducted him into the shadowed arts bridging the mortal realm and the afterlife. The narrative weaves through encounters with Yin Arts—esoteric rituals to commune with spirits—and the perilous Nine Yin Techniques, a forbidden corpus of necromantic lore. Each chapter unravels bizarre phenomena: sentient funeral paper effigies, geomantic curses haunting ancestral tombs, and markets where the dead barter with spirit coins. Blending historical verisimilitude with supernatural intrigue, the story illuminates the clandestine world of Yin-Yang practitioners—custodians of cosmic balance—through Beidou's trials. From exorcising poltergeists in Shanghai's jazz-age parlors to decoding cryptic feng shui patterns in war-torn villages, his journey reveals how the veil between worlds grows thin in times of human strife.

Betrayed by her fated mate and branded an outcast, Hailey's life has been nothing but pain—until she’s saved by Asher, the powerful Lycan king who becomes her second chance at love and freedom. But her past refuses to stay buried. Levi, the mate who rejected her, returns with a dangerous vendetta, while her presumed-dead twin, Celeste, reemerges with a deadly mission of her own. Caught between a king’s unwavering protection and a storm of old betrayals, Hailey must decide: fight for the love that could save her, or risk losing everything to the ghosts of her past.

Superpowers appeared suddenly plunging the world into chaos. Wars broke out, countries were destroyed, and the powers spread like a plague. 100 years later powers became the norm, countries all collapsed, and The Watch rose up to protect the world. Life was black and white. The heroes fought the villains and saved the day, the villains did bad things and were defeated. That’s how most children saw it. Peter Het never should have seen it that way, but he did - until his image of the world burnt in front of his eyes. Levi Winter always saw it that way - until the world gave him reason to. Both wanted to try and make a difference using the powers they'd been born with. One had planned to help the world by being the perfect hero, the other by killing the people he saw as responsible for the problems that polluted the world. Neither found themselves doing what they’d imagined. The one seeking to be a hero became a criminal, the one seeking vengeance became an icon of heroes. Their paths in life diverged like streams rushing down a mountain and are then brought back together to cascade over the edge into a new unknown. Both are seeking peace in the unceasing hurricane of life and the violence they can’t escape, and they’ve come to realize that ‘hero’ is nothing more than a title. Author's note: I'll be also posting this story on RoyalRoad.com

This makes them seem like a force of nature that is both invisible and overwhelmingly strong, commanding from the shadows, unseen but undeniable. A Ruler of Secrets: someone who controls the hidden, whether it’s secrets, destiny, or unknown realms. __________________ 10 chapter / per week __________________ This isn’t just a story—it’s an experience.
