The Emperor'S New Groove Kronk

> What happens when you lose your job, your girlfriend, and your dignity—all in one day? Chan Chen Lyan just turned thirty. Instead of celebrating, he finds himself jobless, heartbroken, and betrayed by those he trusted most. With nowhere to go and nothing left to lose, he drowns his sorrow in beer and isolation—until a spontaneous decision to build a gaming PC becomes the start of something unexpected. As he immerses himself in the fantasy world of Qing Emperor, his reality begins to blur. But when he collapses from exhaustion, the world he wakes up in… isn’t his own. Is this madness, a dream, or a second chance? A gripping blend of contemporary life, psychological struggle, and mysterious fantasy—A 30-Year-Old Uncle’s First Holiday is a raw and emotional journey about loss, escape, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.

Angelo Nobell. A genius. The Emperor of the Chessboard. A destroyer of fates. A walking madness wrapped in human form. To him, life is chess — move by move, sacrifice by sacrifice. He sees the world through the eyes of a chess master — cold, calculated, superior. He doesn’t talk. He makes moves. He places his ego above all. His ambition — above morality. His thirst for power — above life.

Qin Shi Huang tore China apart to forge an empire and defied the heavens for eternal life, only to awaken two millennia later in the body of a puppet emperor, with his new empire on the verge of collapse. Now, armed with his ancient ambition and a terrifying new power, he will not just save his nation—he will finish the conquest he started and bring the entire world to its knees.

Humiliated by her ex-boyfriend's mother, Song Qiao was forced to end her first love. Facing the cold sarcasm from her half-sister, on the street in a fit of anger, she randomly grabbed a man, "Sir, do you have a girlfriend? If not, let's get married!" The man squinted at her and nodded, "Sure!" Marrying Lu Jingchen, Song Qiao received the utmost pampering, but just when she was falling for it, she discovered the reason behind everything... Five years later, Song Qiao made a strong return. Just as she stepped into An City's international airport, she was directly apprehended, and she was greeted with the squinting smile of a man, "Mrs. Lu, after traveling for five years, have you missed me and our son?" However, Song Qiao remained unfazed, her red lips slightly parted, "Sorry, Mr. Lu, we are already divorced. Please call me ex-wife!" The man was indifferent, pulling her into his arms, "I haven't signed the divorce agreement, and I haven't gone through the divorce procedures. How could there be an ex-wife to talk about?"

I was a hero. The chosen one. The light of the kingdom. Until they stabbed me in the back and carved my name from history. Now I’ve been reborn — not in a grand castle or legendary guild, but in a quiet village where magic is broken, gods are silent, and heroes are nothing but bedtime stories. My name is Raen Vos, and I’ve been given a second chance. But I’m not here to save the world. I’m here to rewrite it. In this life, I won't fight for kings. I won't bleed for gods. I’ll raise my sword for those who never had one — and crush the throne that betrayed me.

The Alchemy: Rise of a New Emperor In a world governed by dangerous portals, terrifying creatures lurk beyond shimmering gates—unable to enter the human realm but threatening it all the same. These portals, unstable rifts between dimensions, steadily grow in power the longer they remain open. If not cleared in time, they explode, releasing catastrophic energy capable of erasing entire cities. To prevent disaster, specialized hunters known as Alchemists are sent inside. Divided into four classes—Transmutation, Elemental, Mage, and Shapeshifter—they wield supernatural alchemy-based powers to fight the monsters within and harvest valuable Crystals. However, not all Alchemists are equal. Kim Min Ho is considered among the weakest—a low-ranked Transmutation Alchemist with barely enough power to craft basic weapons. Mocked by his peers and cast aside by guilds, Min Ho carries a burden greater than pride: his mother remains trapped in an eternal coma, and the only hope of awakening her lies in acquiring the Everheart Draught—a forbidden alchemical potion that costs more than most will see in a lifetime. To save her, Min Ho risks everything, throwing himself into lethal portal raids. But after a brutal betrayal and near-death experience inside a collapsing dungeon, Min Ho awakens a hidden Alchemical System—a mysterious force that tracks his progress, unlocks forgotten powers, and grants him access to all four alchemical disciplines. As he delves deeper into the labyrinths of the portals, clearing dungeons others deem impossible, rumors begin to spread of a lone Alchemist who breaks every limit. What starts as a desperate quest to save his mother soon becomes something far greater—Min Ho’s rise to become the strongest Alchemist in history… and the ruler of the portals themselves.

(Matured Content-No rape) “She was promised to a prince. But taken by a monster who calls himself king.” In a realm ruled by blood and empire, twenty-four kingdoms bow to one throne — and at the center of it sits Emperor Zareth Ravaryn, a vampire older than most dynasties, cold as obsidian, and feared as much as he is obeyed. Princess Serenya of Vayrana was never meant to catch his eye. Gentle. Devoted. Already betrothed to the human prince she loved from afar. But one imperial ceremony changed everything. When the Emperor sees her — veiled in gold, eyes full of light — he names her his future Empress. She refuses. He doesn’t ask twice. Now torn from her homeland and chained in silk and duty, Serenya finds herself in a court of shadows, where power is worn like perfume and secrets drip from every whispered bow. But Zareth is not just the monster she feared. He is obsessed. And his obsession doesn’t break... it consumes. As the blood empire trembles under rebellion, forbidden longing ignites between captive and captor, and the girl who once dreamt of love must decide: Will she fight for her freedom— or burn for his throne? Dark fantasy meets imperial seduction in this slow-burn vampire romance — with original lore, dangerous rituals, forbidden love, and a heroine who was never meant to kneel. Welcome to the Empire of Thorns. Where love is a game only monsters win. #bookone of The Empire of Thorns series --- Excerpt. A man stood before her. Not just any man. The man. Eyes like twin flames. Lips curled into a knowing smirk. A voice like thunder dipped in velvet. "And who might you be, little dove?" Zareth purred. Serenya's heart slammed against her ribs. "I-I'm... I was just—" "Lost?" he finished for her, his tone mocking yet oddly amused. She nodded, clutching her veil tighter. His eyes trailed down the curve of her figure, and then back to her eyes. "You're not from around here," he said, though he already knew. "I'm from Vayrana," she managed, voice barely above a whisper. His grin widened. "That explains the veil. So well-behaved. So sweet." He stepped closer, and she instinctively backed up—until her back hit the wall. "Running off alone into a palace full of monsters... either you're braver than you look, or dumber," he drawled, eyes gleaming. Her eyes widened at the insult, but something in his tone kept her frozen. "I didn't mean to be disrespectful—" "Oh, but you weren't," he interrupted. "In fact, you've just made this entire evening… interesting." He reached out, adjusting the edge of her veil with a gentleness that contradicted his deadly aura. "What's your name, dove?" She hesitated. "Your name," he repeated, voice darker now. "I don't ask twice." "Serenya," she whispered. He leaned in, mouth brushing close to her ear. "Serenya," he repeated, tasting it. "Pretty name. Suits you." Then, as quickly as he came, he stepped back. The moment shattered. "Go on now, little dove. Before your father comes searching."

Leonard lived a quiet, ordinary life — caring for his siblings, working at a forgotten bookstore, and enduring the weight of a family fractured by abandonment. But everything changed the day he found a black leather book — untitled, uncredited, and without any record of its existence. From that moment on, sleep ceased to be rest. It became punishment. Night after night, Leonard is pulled into a warped world where reality bleeds beneath crimson moons and ancient horrors lurk in the shadows. A place where time bends, death walks freely, and hope withers in silence. What begins as a nightmare slowly reveals itself as something deeper — a memory that isn’t his… but remembers him. As the line between dream and waking life begins to erode, Leonard must uncover the truth behind the book, the visions that haunt him, and the unseen force watching from beyond the veil. Because not all dreams are made up. Some dreams are doors. And certain doors, once opened, can never be closed.

Arrogant. Manipulative. Worthless. Despite all the numerous qualities that work for him, he’s still worthless because he had no talent. No saying this would be a lie, because he, in fact, did have talent: talent of will - an indomitable will; talent of the mind - quick-witted and cunning. Still, even with these talents that he made on his own, rejecting destiny, he couldn’t do anything else. In order for ‘fate’ to be at ease, it put him on the battlefield - sure of his death. Forced onto the battlefield and using his cultivated talents, he earned the title of ‘Reaper’, bringing death to all who approached. He was the most decorated soldier to ever be; however, he lost his value. The talent he worked for, which gave him value, was now used as there was no war to fight. Now in the street of men and women, he walked the path of a beggar….drunkard. Somehow, seducing women and harboring their hate after. Unbeknownst to him, during his now routine course of harboring a woman’s hate, he received an opportunity that only the luckiest would receive. 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.
