Rationalization

After enduring a life filled with countless injustices at the hands of a merciless system, Alastor finally breaks free. But just as he begins to plot his long-awaited revenge, he finds himself thrust into a world far more perilous than he imagined—a realm shrouded in darkness, plagued by monstrous demons, where the only sanctuary lies within the hallowed walls of the Temple of Light. Alastor, sceptical to his core, scoffs at the notion of gods and blessings. Yet, without true faith, he knows survival in this treacherous land is impossible. His unorthodox solution? Brainwash himself into unwavering devotion. But Alastor’s mind proves more treacherous than any demon. The war between his rational side and his fanatically devoted persona spirals out of control, creating an inner battle as fierce as the external one. Irrational Alastor: “The God of Light is my guiding star and my life. I’ll protect his honour at any cost!” Rational Alastor: “Are you insane? The God of Light is a scumbag. Snap out of it!” Irrational Alastor: “Silence! He is pure and perfect and I won’t hear otherwise!” Rational Alastor: “Uagh! I want to kill myself.” In a world where enemies lurk both outside and within, can Alastor reclaim control of his own mind before he’s consumed by the divine madness he’s created? Or will his greatest enemy truly be himself? Alastor: You! God of light bastard, get your hands off me or else!

If he wanted to boss around, he could do whatever he wanted. I would continue to farm, but if he tried to attack me, then he would not live to see another day. Zhao Hai was a shut-in until he was transmigrated to another world with a farm and taken over the body of a fallen noble. The land that the noble had was one that could not grow anything. He also had a fiance who was the heir to a principality. To make matters even worse, he was talentless in martial arts and magic where he couldn’t even learn both. “So what if I can’t do magic? I have my farm. Let’s see you try and attack me! I’ll let my bugs out to devour all of your military rations! I’ll put pesticides in your water source and grow weeds on your land! Let’s see you try and attack me after that!” “What? You’ll hire assassins to kill me? Try and do that when I’m hiding inside my farmhouse. Once that is over, I’ll rid your country of all your food sources! Your citizens will come after you instead of you coming after me!” The shut-in had a slightly foul personality. This is a story of how he, and his farm, became a nightmare to the people of a world of swords and magic.

Lu Lingche, heir to a prestigious family, is known for his handsome, aloof, cold, and obstinate demeanor, showing disdain for all women. Qiao Yin silently loved him for five years, sacrificing everything with the belief that she could warm his icy heart. However, just three months into their marriage, he planned to abandon her for another woman. What did he mean by holding disdain for all women? It seemed that he was only holding disdain for her! Despite her broken heart, Qiao Yin embarked on a new life that led to a spectacular career, making her a top leader in her industry. When she encountered Lu Lingche again, his shock was palpable: "The competitor who cost me so much is you?" Responding with a gentle smile, Qiao Yin greeted him: "President Lu, nice to see you." While Lu Lingche remained well-dressed, cold, and rational during the day, in the quiet of the night, he lost control, embracing her tightly and pleading, "What do you want? I will give you anything. Don't leave me." "President Lu, I already have a fiancé." "He's now tied up on the rooftop. You have two choices. He dies and you marry me. Or he lives and I die?" Perplexed, Qiao Yin questioned, "Weren't you the one who wanted the divorce? Where is your so-called heart's desire?" "You have been my heart's desire all this time!"

What remains when gods die? Memory or Madness? Many believe that magic is a relic from a bygone age and that its gifts should be sanctioned and controlled for the sake of safety. Others know it was given to them for a reason. Myra Tamon is a detective in the Borderline Division, specializing in cases that cannot be explained through rational means. Her disdain for magic is put to the test when a decade-old case brings her face-to-face with the most powerful of all the gifted. What starts as a mystery, becomes a ruthless fight for survival because secrets do not live forever and monsters do exist.

Walking up to my door reaching to unlock it I turned to say goodbye when Max lean in kissing me pushing me against the door. Fireworks exploded upon contact as I let my brain melt away feeling this strong muscular man press his body into mine. However the rational part of my brain suddenly takes over as i push him away fumbling for my keys. "Even if your not blood related I shouldn't be doing this," I said hastily unlocking my apartment door stumbling up to stairs. "Wait!" Max shouts at me, grabbing my arm keeping me from running up the stairs saying, "Please! I know everything's been confusing tonight and my actions haven't been very helpful, but I couldn't wait any longer," he says pulling me into him, forcing me to look him in the eyes. His strong scent triggered something deep inside that I hadn't felt since THAT night several years ago. His eyes look very similar to the wolfs' eyes I seen that night, causing me to speculate if it was him or not. *It couldn't be.......could it?* I thought staring deeper into those eyes I so wish to just lose myself in. --------------------------------------- Lily Artemis Wolfman fell out of the sky with only a name that no one knew, and no home to speak of. She was taken in as a ward of the Royal Wolves of the Mystic Moon pack, but was treated worse then the prisoners they keep.

Then one day she is handed a mysterious box that was with her when she was found. This box could lead her to her family, and why she seems to be the only one left alive. With the Alpha Pairs prophecy approaching events begin to happen and a mate of Lily's appears in the last person she expected.

Ina is a golden eyed Omega, which is exceptional among desert wolves, living together with her friend Noah in the pack on a desert next to a big city hidden behind huge walls. The life for desert wolves is hard, water is rationed out and what is more, there are some parts that are not available for them as they are inhabited by feral werewolves, which cannot shift into human form anymore, and hunt Ina’s pack and similar ones for food.

Werewolves fights are very popular as well as buying personal slaves.

In the apocalyptic fantasy realm of Erespara, magic is both life and death. The world pulses with Espera, a mystical energy that transforms those strong enough to wield it into beings of unimaginable power. Erespara is home to diverse races—humans, elves, demi-humans, dwarves, dragons, the enigmatic Nexalith, and many others—all thriving in their mastery of elements, ancient skills, and arcane forces. But are these races truly prepared for what’s about to come? Strange and nightmarish creatures have begun appearing across the land—creatures unlike anything seen before. Dark forces stir in hidden corners, seeking to plunge Erespara into chaos and reshape its very foundations. Into this turbulent world is thrown Ryan, an ordinary man from a mundane life, who awakens in the depths of a labyrinth teeming with peril. Disoriented and hunted by unknown horrors, he suddenly hears a voice—a girl claiming to be linked to his soul, offering herself as his guide, his “system assistant.” With her help, Ryan must adapt to survive, harness the elemental energy of Espera, face deadly challenges, and discover powers he never imagined possessing. --- Author's Note: In this story, the "system" is not what gives Ryan his strength; it’s an additional aid—more like a helper, resources provider, and guide. Ryan won't start as an Chad; he’ll grow over time, adapting as he faces the brutal world of Erespara. His decisions will be realistic, and he’ll act rationally according to the situations he encounters. I’m still learning, so please forgive any grammatical mistakes. I’d appreciate it if you could point out any errors so I can improve!

The first six chapters are about MCs past life. It can avoided as it wouldn't have any effect at the beginning of the story. ---- In a room that is dimly lit not by an electric bulb but by an esoteric object. An infant about 6 months old lying in a cradle. Just by looking at him one could see clear traces of confusion in his face. 'What is this?...' He couldn't understand, as his memories are fuzzy, yet he realizes he knows things that he shouldn't know, things that didn't make sense, thinking in a language that he didn't even know the name of. In a magical world filled with esoteric flora and fauna where Magus, Weapon wielders and Martial artists reign, it's the story of a boy, Jayce, growing up trying to find a balance between his emotions and hyper-rational thinking he obtained from the 'knowledge' and 'awareness' he inherited as an infant, which forces him to analyze and decide everything in an overly rational manner.

Humans escaped Earth's prison and conquered the Solar System. Peace has reigned for a thousand years. Yet, the Terrans became mired in their comforts and decadence, neglecting the other inhabitants of the Solar System. So begins a new age of war, a tragedy of a long neglected history. Author's note: In this story, I intend to integrate elements from shows I love-- gundam, modern sci-fi shows such as 'The Expanse', add strategic elements from shows such as legend of galactic heroes. These elements might be political intrigue, more technological development, robotics, cyberpunk, character development, rationality. Ultimately, I want the story to end up with a strong sense of hope despite the horrors of conflict.

The sweet scent of flowers invades my nostrils, while a light breeze caresses my body. I reflexively turn the other way, my hand flailing around my waist futilely seeking my blanket. Unable to find it, I gradually wake up, only to realize that I am not on my bed, nor in my room or in my house… instead, I am lying in a patch of grass in what looks to be a small clearing in a forest. Wait… WHERE THE HELL ARE MY CLOTHES???? I jump to my feet in panic and look left and right trying to figure out what is happening. My mind can’t process the situation, but after a few minutes the panic recedes and I start thinking somewhat rationally again. I check myself for any injuries or bugs crawling on me and I am relieved when I find none. Then my brain processes what my eyes see and I freeze. I once again start checking my body slowly, running my hands over it inch by inch. My beer belly is gone, the white hairs on my chest are now black and my body while not exactly rippling has defined muscle lines. Yeah, nice dream, I thought. I haven’t looked or felt so good since I was 20. Then reality slaps me again. A memory surfaces from the depth of my mind from a researcher’s interview on tv; you can’t smell something in your dreams, you just identify the scent that you should be smelling. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I smell the grass, the little violet flowers, the scent of the tree resin carried by the wind… fuck!... Toto, we are not in Kansas anymore…

This is a story about a Villain and a Witch. What you can expect from this novel: This is a time-loop-checkpoint style conquest story, and the goal is to conquer the universe. The MC is genuinely a villain and you can expect him acting as a Lawful Evil. Sarcastic toned writing style with slow flowing worldbuilding where you will come to understand the world as the story goes. It's a medium paced story filled with heavy topics, politics, war and tight plot points, sandwiched with romance-comedy breathing spaces. One female lead only, no romantic drama. But caution, this fiction may contain more romance than you can handle. You can also expect classic high fantasy tropes, mixed with science fiction similar to modern isekai/gate/space styled story, there are both magic and mecha, strong-to-stronger characters, insane and manipulative characters, character developments and connections, Seinen magazine demographic, kingdom building and military, world invasion and apocalyptic tone, with legends, myth, world lore, and fairy tale spices. Three years ago, the sky over the magical world of Nethermere cracked wide open, revealing a portal. Out poured thousands upon thousands of spaceships from a so-called superior realm civilization, intent on invading this "lower" realm. But their grand plan? A spectacular flop. The invaders were stopped single-handedly by a man, King Burn of Soulnaught—the genius of the century and a notorious tyrant. Yeah, right. Despite the grand defeat, they didn’t pack up and leave. The crack remained, a celestial eyesore, while more spaceships continued to flood in. Divide et impera, indeed! Now, they'd turned to trading shiny tech trinkets with the locals, sweet-talking their way into hearts and minds. Colonization? It was practically knocking at the door. Burn, once again said, "Hell nah." War. All-out war! Because if anyone’s going to conquer the world, Burn would rather it be him—not some intergalactic interlopers. *** THAT WAS THE PLAN! Conquer the world under him, then the invaders, then whoever was behind them! But… The seventh loop started, and Burn returned back, awakened before the apocalyptic war started, cursing—“This stupid bi—witch!” His march came to a halt when a woman suddenly appeared before him and took her own life while shouting his name. Burn only blinked before realizing he had returned to the time before HIS CONQUER began. That witch of a woman had reset all his hard work! "Why? You're wondering if I've trapped you in a time loop?" the witch asked. "It's not just a spell but a curse! Dear Villain, you are now Witchbound!" *** Apparently, the witch wasn't all that bad. “But aren’t you glad to see your worst enemy able to understand your point of view?” the woman smiled softly. “You should also be glad that I’m a rational and considerate type of person.” Even to her worst enemy. Resetting time for her own purposes? Apparently, she was including him in her considerations. Now Burn, ever the pragmatic, practical, and cold tyrant, found himself in a quandary. Was she a friend or a foe? Was she his worst curse or his greatest blessing? Well, let’s find out.

Simione needed to become a mistress. Not just another rich man's mistress, but M Conglomerate's President, Hawk Monsanto's.

However, whether it was work of fate or work of an evil seductress, he stumbled upon a rare beauty that he cannot set his eyes off. And before his money and rationality could ever warn him, Hawk had fallen into something his billions cannot buy. *** "Who are you?" Hawk managed to ask between his ragged breath. "That depends on who you want me to be," The girl uttered and for the first time, Hawk saw her upturned honey-colored eyes. Looking into it was like drowning yourself into something magical, something hypnotizing and very much irresistible that when the girl tiptoed to meet his lips, he willingly lowered his head to welcome her. And he was right there, opening his mouth for her—warm and wet—giving everything he must give and was kissing her back with equal ardor. The girl wrapped her arms around his neck, and he responded by pressing the girl's body closer, the fiancee forgotten. However, when Hawk was at the point of wanting more, the girl pulled away and Hawk opened his eyes bewildered onto her sudden retreat. He was gasping for air and would very much like to pull her back to finish the bliss she had started. But she only smiled at him, feeling very empowered by the fact that the M Conglomerate's President had already fallen into her trap. "What's the matter?" He asked, confused as to what made her stop. "Nothing," Her smile widened a little more, making her face bright and goddess-like and Hawk became more defenseless with that. "It's just that I only want you to have a free taste. The next of course comes with a big price"

"I'm Misako Hana. I can help you." Even in the dark alleyway she could see a smirk plastered on his face. She had a bad feeling about him and it gave her goosebumps.

Zoey Seeker finds herself in a new world after making a deal with a smarmy reincarnation deity. She didn't want much, just a system to see her stats, maybe some quests to point her in the right direction, and the ability to cultivate. She was determined to find her way with her own strength in this new world. What she didn't anticipate was what the reincarnation deity needed didn't exactly coincide with her desires. When she first checks her stats in the new world, the first thing she sees is a Supreme physique. So much for trying to stay low-key to avoid jealous young masters. Young masters won't be her only problem either. She soon realizes there are some problems with her new body's rather wilful personality. Will she be able to maintain her rationality, or will she embrace her new quirks?

Love is not meant to be rational.
