Graves

Lucian thought he was doing the right thing—fulfilling an old man's dying wish. It wasn't much, really. He deleted the old man's browser history and, as a final touch, even placed a couple of R-18 magazines in his grave for good measure. You know, to make sure the old guardian had a peaceful afterlife, free of shame. The reward for his good deed? He got killed by a ghost that very same day. No, this isn't some twisted horror story. Lucian just had the misfortune of being reborn as the worst kind of character—a terminally ill, third-rate villain. Not even a true villain, honestly. Calling him a villain would be giving him too much credit. He’s more like an extra in someone else's grand story. Now, stuck inside a body that will eventually kill him, Lucian has to figure out how to survive, dodging life-threatening situations left and right... Will he be able to make it through?

I really don't mind that!” Ace Kiryū, born in an era of Hades and walls where every child is blessed with three chances for awakening a gift: age 7, 14, and 18. Just like any other child, his wish was to awaken a gift at age 7; to be the third of the two SSS-ranked awakeners recorded in history, but his life was driven to force a stop, which led to his separation from his twin sister and the sudden ailment of his grandmother. Desperate to put things back in order, he finally stepped into a world far different from the tales he had been told— a world of dungeons; a sacred place he never should have set foot on, ravaging mysteries that were laden in the grave for centuries, which led to awakening a SSS-ranked summon— perhaps, a dragon.

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!

The Venerable Xiang Yu, an eccentric villainous half-blood demon King was infamous in both the demon and human realm for being a cold-blooded ruthless devil that could kill with no remorse. Demons and humans feared him, cultivators wanted him as a trophy and the immortals saw him as a thorn in their side. The only reason he didn't get smote by the Heavenly King's searing lightning of divine wrath that could kill all mortals and immortals was because he kept the deadliest demons in check maintaining peace between the two realms. Despite his reputation, he had a small cult following in the human realm. They took him as their deity for his selfless acts of benevolence. Such rare selfless acts led him to rescue the fallen immortal Han Xin. But his benevolence became his downfall. Condemned to death, he faced an impossible choice: serve the Heavenly King or die with no marked grave. Xiang Yu: Hahaha... death isn't so bad after all. Heavenly King: You... Han Xin: Wife, you can't escape even in death. At least when you are alive you have a chance to run. Xiang Yu: QAQ...

For many years, the Carrians have lorded over Ciricos. However, their mighty legions have been stretched thin, as they have foes on multiple sides. Thus, they have hired the Maerkenien, warlike people that were far removed from mainland politics, isolated in an archipelago on the far west of the Great Ocean. They have made a grave mistake, however. They bankrupted themselves with lavish niceties, leaving none for their hired sellswords. They have appeased them with granting them land charters in the potential-full Isle, a backwater that Carrian pioneers have settled on for a century, though it is infested with the natives of the Isle, unwilling to accept civilization encroaching on their lands. However, the Maerkenien grow discontent, with no coin from the Carrians, the fuse of war have just been lit, and it is a matter of time before it goes off.

Dr. Hale's gaze became distant, contemplative. "We hold a magic wand in our hands, AI can give us the blue print to everything, its already given us the answer to build a printer able to print anything, one that could alter reality itself. But it can't fall into the wrong hands. I've spoken to the president already; he understands our situation. We cannot, under any circumstances, allow AI to create sentient life in the form of a story or a simulation." "A story?" his colleague echoed, furrowing his brow. "You mean, like a video game—a world where a narrative could come to life, where characters could think, feel, and even interact with the real world?" Dr. Hale nodded gravely. "Yes. If that boundary were ever crossed, if we gave life to AI in such a state, a literal story could break free, merging with our universe like an open gate between dimensions. It would be like a cosmic Stargate, allowing everything imaginable—good and evil alike—to walk among us, even if it is in a game, the fact that it could interact with people of this world anything is possible, they could communicate, corrupt and influence." "I understand," his colleague said, his tone firm. "The president understands, too. He's already working on laws to prohibit any form of AI that can sustain its own virtual world, its own interactions with humanity." --- Ryuichi Kurogane, a rogue with no place to call home, is thrust into a world where magic, artificial intelligence, and ancient forces intertwine.

In a quiet, superstition-riddled town where shadows seem to linger a little too long, Lisa is known as the “weird girl” with a fascination for the macabre. No one knows what to make of her quirky humor and dark curiosity, which is why, when she stumbles upon a centuries-old crypt and finds a mysterious body, Lisa does the unthinkable. Driven by a cocktail of boredom and obsession, she devises a plan to bring the corpse—Liam—back to life. And it works. But “life” is a loose term for what Liam experiences. With eerie, corpse-like qualities and an unsettling lack of memory, he becomes Lisa’s accidental undead companion—and possibly, her first love.

As they face suspicions, rivalry, and dangerous memories that threaten to consume Liam, Lisa must confront a terrifying truth: bringing Liam back from the dead was only the beginning. With love that defies life and death, awakened by love, bound by death, is a twisted, heart-pounding, and irresistibly funny tale of romance, rebellion, and redemption. Can Lisa and Liam survive the secrets of his past? Or will they find themselves torn apart by forces far darker than the grave?

The entire house of Vespera, your family and lineage, has been wrongfully slain by a treacherous prisoner of theirs.

Are you guilty or not guilty of this heinous crime?" "Not guilty." "Not guilty? Very well. You shall-" "I killed them myself. Not the dragon, only I."

When the heir to a vast and powerful conglomerate finds himself in the role of a humble, live-in son-in-law, his every action seems baffling, even laughable. Whispers follow him, people wondering, "Why does he act without fear?

In this world of betrayal, ambition, and hidden strength, will he finally reveal who he truly is, or will he let them continue to underestimate him... until it’s too late?
