Auntie Ethel Tactician

Lucen Vale was born with nothing. No Soulprint. No name worth remembering. Just a mind far too sharp for a world that discards the weak. Buried alive in the deepest mines of the Dead Veins, the lowest pit of humanity, Lucen was called a Blank, cursed and powerless. He didn’t complain. He observed. Calculated. Waited. Until the system came. A forbidden voice whispered from the dark... "[Soulprint Theft Protocol Activated. You may now take what others are.]" Lucen doesn’t rejoice. He doesn’t laugh. He dissects the rules... and begins to hunt. ................................. He doesn’t fight stronger enemies. He breaks them. A genius tactician, Lucen studies every movement, exploits every mistake, and kills with precision. With each soul he steals, he gains more than just power. He inherits memories, instincts... even regrets. He writes them all in his Soul Ledger. Every stolen skill. Every broken mind. But as the echoes multiply, and foreign thoughts begin to surface, one truth becomes harder to ignore. If you take too many pieces of others... what remains of you? I will be focusing on my new novel "The True Blood Ascension" Hope you check it out. Ty!

Code Ascendant – The Soldier Who Leveled Past Reality Earth’s last war hero died a soldier. He awakened as a failure. When Aarav Singh, a legendary war tactician from Earth’s final resistance, falls in battle, he doesn’t pass into peace—he reincarnates into the body of Aaron Velcris, a disgraced cadet in a foreign world ruled by relics, bloodlines, and mystical war academies. But this isn’t just a second life—it’s a new battlefield. Fused with the Reality Sync Interface, a system that converts mystical relics and chaotic magic into military-grade combat logic, Aarav begins leveling not through training, but through tactical execution. He doesn’t cast spells—he deploys war protocols. He doesn’t summon beasts—he commands codebound relics powered by trauma and memory. In this world, squads are family. Monsters are fractured reflections of reality. And behind every relic lies a secret waiting to be hacked, weaponized, or destroyed. To survive, Aarav must: Transform the weakest squad in the academy into elite warfighters Unlock Symbiosis Protocols—dangerous fusions between man and relic Challenge ancient hierarchies that fear logic more than magic And decode a buried prophecy that links his Earth-born past to a coming dimensional collapse Because this time, the war isn’t for one world. It’s for every reality. > “If they fight with magic, I’ll answer with tactics. If they pray to relics, I’ll reprogram them. I wasn’t reborn to play fair. I was reborn to win.” --- Genres: Action • Sci-Fi Fantasy • Military System • Reincarnation • Strategy • Academy • Squad Combat • Dark Progression • System Leveling • Antihero Lead • Reality Warping

She, breathtaking and indifferently gentle, soft and adorably clueless. She was a Divine Doctor who could bring the dying back to life, and also a poison expert who killed without trace! She possessed a pair of clairvoyant eyes, and also a body filled with mysterious vital energy! People said: Even Yama Raja had to give way to those An Yiqing wished to save! He, cold and aloof, stunningly handsome like a deity. He was the most outstanding descendant of the Ancient Martial Arts Families and also the youngest general of Xuanjin Country! He was an emperor who emerged from darkness and blood, holding great power and deciding over life and death! When the gently indifferent her and the cold and proud him met, what kind of sparks would they ignite? Affection chapter: An Yiqing asked, "Hm, I heard you like me?" Gu Yelin stiffened, "Yes!" An Yiqing's eyes fell, her voice flat, "But I can't be with you." "Reason." Gu Yelin's voice was dark and heavy; his heart clenched in pain—he had been poisoned, and only this little white rabbit in front of him was the cure! "Master said I have an incurable disease." "If you live, I live; if you die, I die!" Gu Yelin's voice was low and resolute. An Yiqing's downcast eyes gradually reddened, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly, "Every time I see you, my heart races, I struggle to breathe, and my cheeks turn red. Master said that's the incurable disease, and only you can heal me." Gu Yelin's dark eyes surged with waves of joy and excitement, like a surging undercurrent. ...Only she could cure his poison, and only he was the medicine for her. Underdog chapter: At the banquet Qin Jia: "Who do you think you are? Just an orphan with no parents, what right do you have to cling to Young Master Gu's side?"

"Sick of living!" Suddenly, a pair of iron-like hands gripped Qin Jia's arm tightly; he had only left for a moment. Who was this blind person daring to bully his treasure? Qin Jia roared resentfully, "Young Master Gu, why are you doing this to me? She's just a wild child with no parents!" "Who dares to say that the An Family's only jewel is a wild child?!" A furious rebuke erupted like a thunderclap, shaking the entire banquet. Baby chapter: The plump Little Bun wriggled his little bottom, his glutinous voice carrying a complaint, "Daddy, why won't you let me sleep with Mommy?" Gu Yelin's mouth twitched, "You are a man, you cannot cling to my wife." "Hmph! Jealous men are so annoying!" Little Bun mumbled, "The Uncle Duan who came to see Mommy yesterday is nice, so is the Uncle Bai who I met last week, and there's Uncle Li who gave me a big red envelope during the New Year and that pretty auntie, they are all nicer to me than Daddy!" Third Young Master Gu's temples throbbed. Why, even though his adorable little white rabbit was married, did those wolves with greed in their eyes still not give up? Men were one thing, but even women were trying to get involved! Third Young Master Gu felt aggrieved; the road to being a henpecked husband is long and arduous~ ************************************ The author says: This story slightly incorporates special abilities with fantasy elements.

Arsh: The King, of a fallen world After a century of uneasy peace, the ancient balance between the human realm and the Netherworld begins to collapse. At the heart of this collapse lies a forbidden truth: the world is a shared realm between two ancient rulers—one human, one demonic—both born from the same cosmic essence. These two lords, one rising in the form of Arsh, a tactician king enhanced by AI and human resilience, and the other awakening through Rose, his half-demon sister and the chosen vessel of the Demon Lord, are fated to determine the future of both worlds. With humanity caught in fear and politics, and the demon world uniting under chaotic sin-commanders like Greed and Gluttony, the final war is not just about survival—but about deciding which reality deserves to exist.

They called him the “Silent Tactician” long before the blood dried on the banners. Before the journal was found. Before history remembered the cost. At the heart of an elite academy where talent alone isn't enough, Nitsuo stands not with power or prestige—but with silence, strategy, and an unreadable gaze. To most, he’s just a quiet second-year. To a few, he is the mind behind impossible victories. Behind his team’s laughter, behind the storm of noble politics and magical duels, he records everything—in a worn leather journal that one day will be all that remains. Each student here dreams of glory. Each battle is more than a test; it’s a war for identity. Magic is studied like warcraft. Words are weapons. Feelings are hidden behind masks, until a single moment—a mistake, a duel, a glance too long—cracks them wide open. But Nitsuo didn’t come here to win. He came to carry a promise. And while his comrades clash and grow, while quiet rivalries bloom into unspoken feelings and accidental flirts stir the hearts of more than one, a war far beyond the school walls brews in the dark. Because legends aren't born—they’re remembered. And The Silent Tactician doesn’t speak to be heard. He writes so his story won't be lost.

“If God loved you so much, he wouldn’t have put you against me.” … In the present of this age’s fantasy, what the world needs is not a hero but a priest working part time as a Necromancer. Healing by the day, hunting dark mages by the night, presenting you, Elios, the guy who will solve all your problems by any means as long as you pay him the right. A demon is haunting you? Call Elios. The guards aren’t accepting bribes? Call Elios. Your toilet ain’t getting flushed? Call Elios. There are no limitations to what you can ask. As long as there is a right price, everything is possible. Our dependable priest is capable of any and everything. Ah! Though there is one thing you can never ask him to do. Children. You can’t ask him to hurt them. And perhaps you should never mention anything related to that as well. Or else… Even death would be mercy. … In the World of Zarraf, there lives Gods, not all goods are good and certainly none are without motives. They rule the world’s 7 nations: The Nation of Light and Sun The Nation of Water The Nation of Fire The Nation of Life The Nation of Earth The Nation of Moon The Nation of Wind Each ruled by a Goddess that has their own stance in their ruling. But that is only the first page of this world. The second page colors the Ancient Gods of Corruption, Rage, Curse, Death and Hate. The third belongs the Seven Sins’ Incarnations that are ready to succeed the Ancient Gods. The Fourth is of the Witches who stand against all Gods equally. And the Final Page colors the [Immortals] or otherwise known as [Players] that will be summoned to bring Chaos to this world. A World that was meant to be destroyed, such is the fate of the world of Zarraf as powers beyond the realm of mortals threaten the dynamic equilibrium of their existence. In the end, the world was prophesied to be destroyed by one cause or another. Nothing could prevent looming destruction… Or so it was supposed to happen..

A neatly color-coded, perfectly curated, bullet-journal-approved kind of plan. The kind of plan with checkboxes, motivational quotes scribbled in the margins, and an unhealthy number of post-its. She was going to become Mumbai’s best, boldest, badass lawyer, land a coveted job at the ridiculously prestigious BR Advocates — a firm so elite it practically air-kissed lesser mortals — and slowly take over the world, one perfectly argued case at a time. Shanaya wasn’t just ambitious. She was capital-A Ambitious. And maybe a little dramatic, excessively sarcastic, and allergic to bullshit. So naturally, when she nailed every single requirement BR Advocates asked for — top of her class? Check. Ruthless work ethic? Double check. A sharp tongue capable of verbally decimating anyone who doubted her? Triple, sparkly check — she figured the job was practically hers. Until the firm pulled a surprise. A New hiring rule: Only experienced, married applicants will be considered. Married? As in, spouse? Legal binding married? She blinked. Holy crap! And sure, Shanaya might have aggressively whispered ‘burn it all down’ under her breath in the middle of HR’s lobby. And yes, she might have chucked a high heel at her vision board. But desperation breeds creativity. And Shanaya Thakur? She was nothing if not dangerously creative when backed into a corner. Which is how the idea was born. Find a husband! Any husband! In two weeks. Which brings us to Yuvaan Grewal: Six-foot-something of maddening calm, devastating looks, and a talent for making tailored suits look illegal. President of Sauvé, one of India’s most successful product companies, Yuvaan is brilliant, emotionally detached, and permanently single — by choice. A choice his mother hates. After dodging fifty arranged proposals, eighty dates, and roughly a hundred aunties armed with lovely girls from nice families, Yuvaan’s perfected the art of politely refusing romance and staying unmarried. Until one scandal, a series of hilariously unfortunate coincidences, and one very desperate law graduate with excellent cheekbones land them both in a situation neither of them asked for: A fake marriage. It’s supposed to be simple. A business arrangement. A temporary fix. But with Shanaya’s sharp mouth, Yuvaan’s smoldering glares, and a growing list of almost-kisses they both pretend not to remember — things are about to get complicated. Because what happens when the one person you swear you can’t stand starts feeling alarmingly like home? And Love ? That was never part of the plan. But then again… when is it ever? _____________________ DISCLAIMER: The book contains mature content, so please read under the parental guidance.

The title pretty much says it all. This is the journal of Jane Brown. Each journal entry may be very short or very long. Entries may be close together or far apart. It depends on when and if Jane decides to or remembers to update her journal. If ever. Just like most of the non-diary or journal writer keepers out there - or uninspired authors. Yep. Warning: VERY SLOOOW updates. This is a story written on a whim. Let's see how long the inspiration will last for. This style of writing is somewhat experimental. Disclaimer: This is a work of FICTION and is not based on any one person. Any portrayal of real people or real events (excluding some major world events) is entirely accidental and coincidental. It is in not in any way, shape of form meant to be a commentary on anyone or anything, even less on current issues in society. This is literally meant to be boring (hence the ordinary title) without being too boring. It is just about (and meant to be about) the average slow paced life and interests of an average person. The aim is to keep this for general audiences and not go down the romance route, so that my little nieces and nephews can read this as an example of how to write rubbish - uh, I mean fiction. Unfortunately, my imagination and brain keep running away with the plot and taking it down the adult fiction route... So, sorry, my little nieces and nephews. You won't be reading this version of the story. No way. Your parents might decide to silence me and then you would no longer have a fun aunty to teach you useless knowledge.

In the ruins of a dying Earth, fate delivers one last mercy. When nuclear fire consumes the planet in 2026 — the final spark lit by a decades-long feud between Israel and Iran — five university friends perish in the heart of the collapse. But death is not the end. Watched by the celestial Judge of Earth, their souls are chosen not for their power, but for the intensity of their bond and the rare potential sleeping within. Among them is Aeon, a quiet dreamer once obsessed with philosophy and paradox, now reborn in a cultivation world where existence itself bends to the will of those who understand it. Gifted with the Eyes of Existence, Aeon awakens with fractured memories, a thirst for truth, and a Dao unlike any the realms have ever seen — one that does not dominate or destroy, but perceives, weaves, and transcends. As Aeon struggles to grasp the laws of reality, illusion, and time itself, he is drawn into sects, rivalries, and ancient legacies shaped by power, merit, and manipulation. But the greatest battles are not fought with swords or spells — they are the quiet confrontations between fate and self, between what is real and what is believed. Across the stars, the other four survivors walk their own paths: the silent rune-scarred cook, the silver-eyed tactician of arrays, the passionate soul of nourishment and fire, and the steadfast cultivator of justice. Separated by realms, but bound by soul, they will rise together — or fall to the eternal tide. Dao of Existence is a cultivation epic of cosmic scale and introspective depth — a tale of rebirth, memory, and the long journey to understand not just power… …but what it means to be.

Two sons. One world. No mercy. Mark Grayson was born to be a hero. Marcus Grayson was born to survive. In a world protected by costumed champions and manipulated by secret powers, the twin sons of Nolan Grayson — Earth’s greatest hero — are raised in the same home, but shaped by very different truths. While Mark dreams of flying and saving lives, Marcus watches. He listens. He prepares. Because deep down, he knows their father isn’t who he says he is — and when the truth comes crashing down, it’s Marcus who’s already ready to act. As Mark rises as Invincible, Earth’s hopeful defender, Marcus walks the darker path. A brutal tactician,and the weight of secrets too dangerous to speak aloud. Armed with the knowledge of the future and a mind sharper than any blade, Marcus becomes the hero Earth never wanted… but may not survive without. But blood is complicated. And when Viltrum comes for them all, only one truth remains: You can’t save the world… without spilling blood.

Dann Fasto was a hardcore gamer—an expert at conquering ultra-hard RPGs. But at the peak of his glory, his life ended abruptly due to a sudden heart attack. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself reincarnated in a cruel and unfamiliar world—enslaved in a dark age. No magic. No superpowers. Just chains, filth, and despair... until a mysterious antique revolver appeared in his hand. One weapon. One bullet. Accused of rebellion and sentenced to death, the revolver slipped from his hand right in front of the King. In an instant, the entire court fell silent. In a world that had never seen a firearm, that tiny object shook an entire kingdom to its core. From a worthless slave to the feared “Mysterious Knight,” Dann Fasto is thrown into a massive conflict—forced to lead a battle against the Hog King, a monstrous beast that razes villages to the ground. Fighting alongside the kingdom’s strongest female knight, Dann has no sword, no armor, and a fragile body. But he has something else—a tactician’s mind forged through years of gaming. And in this world, just like any other game, even the deadliest enemies can be defeated... if you know their patterns. Yet one question haunts him every step of the way: What is the true purpose of this revolver? And why... is there only one bullet?

Centuries ago, the Elyari Empire collapsed in a cataclysm of magic, leaving behind cursed soil, shattered thrones, and the "Fast Lives" — a cruel spell that dooms peasants to live full lives in only a decade. Now, fifty young sovereigns — scions of ancient houses — each rule their fragments of a broken realm, spread across wild biomes from icy mountains to scorched deserts, tangled forests to fertile plains. Among them is Alexios of House Helion, called Caesar, a charismatic leader in the plains, who dreams of unity. With his sister Niharika, a healer, and a circle of builders, warriors, and diplomats, he dares to imagine an island healed. He is joined — and opposed — by a web of rulers: Amir, a desert tactician; Thalia, a cultured visionary; Takahashi, the isolationist shogun of the forests; Julia, the cunning queen of Duskreach; Lyra, the stoic queen of ice; Astrid, a war-hardened tactician; and many others. As alliances rise and collapse, ancient tombs whisper secrets of the past. A prophecy emerges — a second calamity is near. When Alexios and Amir uncover lost Elyari texts in a volcano’s heart, they vow to stop history from repeating. But prophecy is not easily bent. Ramses and Adonis revolutionize village-building, ushering a new age of infrastructure and cooperation. Weddings are held, flags are raised, and pacts are signed. But underneath the progress, betrayals fester. Julia builds a web of spies. Orlan rises from exile. Takahashi's code clashes with diplomacy. Amir is poisoned. Friendships unravel. Whispers of an undead army echo from ancient tombs. The cursed minerals of vaelstone — coveted, dangerous, powerful — begin to reawaken forces best left buried. When Julia misreads the prophecy and activates a forgotten army, the dead rise again — and this time, they do not recognize kings from peasants. As kingdoms fall and cities burn, a final alliance of survivors unites: not for power, but survival. The past has awakened, and it remembers everyone. To save the island, the inheritors of Elarion must decide: Will they repeat the sins of their ancestors… or rise above them?

She was never meant to matter. Until she became the spark that could shatter an entire world. Rory has always lived at the bottom of the pack—an orphaned omega, overlooked, unloved, and invisible. She expected the Moon Festival to be just another night spent watching from the shadows. Instead, it became the moment everything changed. When a rogue wolf attacks, Rory doesn’t run. She leaps into the fray to save a child—and in that instant, her first shift explodes from within her. But this is no ordinary transformation. She doesn’t just shift. She awakens. Before a stunned crowd, Rory kills a rogue mid-air with the fury and grace of an Alpha... and draws the attention of the last wolves anyone would expect: the Alpha’s triplet sons. Kael — the heir with haunted eyes. Thorne — the untamed warrior with a heart of fire. Riven — the ruthless tactician who trusts no one. One mate would’ve been impossible. But all three? It’s not fate. It’s a prophecy. And a curse. “Three sons. One moon. One mate. Choose wrong, and the pack will fall.” As forbidden bonds pull her toward each brother, Rory’s body begins to change in ways no wolf ever should. Magic pulses beneath her skin. Dreams become warnings. And her wolf—once silent—begins to whisper secrets no one else can hear. Rory isn’t just special. She’s Gateborn—a living key to a sealed realm of ancient power. A lineage thought long dead is awakening in her blood… and it’s tearing the world open. As darkness rises, rogue wolves return wielding unfamiliar magic, and betrayal brews within the pack’s heart, Rory is caught between love and destruction, prophecy and power. To choose one mate could doom the others. To love them all might doom them all. And the greatest threat isn’t the curse, the prophecy, or the rising shadows. It’s Rory herself. Because she’s not sure if she was born to save this world... Or end it.
