Iron Blooded Orphans

Centuries ago, the Empire was the beacon of civilization, a colossus of power and prosperity. But 560 years after its founding, its decline is inevitable. Corruption has taken hold of its foundations, incompetent officials have led to chaos, and noble families fight among themselves for scraps of power. The emperor is a mere figurehead, and barbarian invasions and internal rebellions threaten to destroy what remains. In this world on the brink of collapse, heroes and villains emerge: some fight to save the Empire, others seek independence, and a few dream of replacing it. Who will prevail in this struggle for power? And what price will the world pay for their ambition?

In the wreckage, she discovers something impossible: she’s not human at all. Haunted by the strange power awakening within her, she sets out to uncover the truth. But the answers lie with Vladimir, a vampire prince cursed to walk the earth in torment until his fated mate sets him free. Vladimir has waited for centuries, watching as time turned his heart into ice. When he meets Kaira, he knows she’s the key to breaking his chains. But fate is cruel—because Kaira is hunted. Her very existence is a threat to an ancient order of supernatural beings who will stop at nothing to erase her. Bound together by fate but tormented by secrets, Kaira and Vladimir must uncover the past before it consumes them. But with darkness closing in, one question remains: Is love enough to break a curse… or will it be their undoing?

In a realm where immortality is a curse, survival is a war. Waled von Carstein, an undying lord bound by neither heaven nor hell, rules the shadowed citadel of Nachtspire with cold logic and an iron will. To the living, he is a monster; to his kin, he is the last hope. But when a betrayal shatters the fragile peace between vampires and mortals, Waled must forge alliances with the unlikeliest of allies: black-iron dwarves whose steam-powered war machines defy magic, and rogue high elves torn between loyalty to their corrupt queen and survival against a creeping Chaos. Yet the true enemy lies within. As Waled harvests fallen warriors to build his undead legion, he discovers a chilling truth: Eternal life demands eternal sacrifice. Every soul he resurrects erodes his humanity, and every drop of blood he takes binds him closer to the primal hunger he despises. Now, caught between the fanatical Holy Templars who brand him a devil and the scheming Eternal Queen Ariel who seeks to enslave his kind, Waled faces an impossible choice: Embrace the darkness to save his people, becoming the very tyrant the world fears? Sacrifice his throne to protect a humanity that will never accept him? But when an ancient evil awakens – one that devours both the living and the dead – Waled's war for survival becomes a battle for the soul of the world itself. "You call us parasites," he whispers to the dying paladin at his feet, "yet you bleed the earth dry for gold and glory. Who is the real monster here?"

Han Jin, a modern playboy, dies in a reckless spree only to awaken in the Tianhua Empire as the third son of Chancellor Han Zheng, a titan of power.

Thrust into a web of scheming princes, vengeful rivals, and his own cunning kin, Han Jin must wield his system to turn foes into pawns and allies into legends. Mu Qing, though, is no prize to be tamed—her battlefield genius threatens the throne, and their union is a chain to bind her fury.

Facing the imminent danger of a demon invasion, the Prazia kingdom establishes orphanages to uncover hidden talents among its populace. Lena, now known as Lava, is reincarnated as a dragon and becomes an orphan after her mother goes missing. However, not every fantasy world is filled with raw plot armor. Reality can be difficult, and Lava is not immune to being a pawn in the plans of others. Features a unique word-based magic system, no skills or levels. ----- Sorry for how slow burning and random the beginning chapters are, I just kind of made up plausible nonsense to keep the story flowing. It wasn't until about ch.23 where inspiration struck and the story really started to pick up speed. The main reason things started so slow is that I don't like writing highly unlikely events to drive plot like an mc saving someone that just happens to be a noble. Keep in mind this has a more realistic theme than most isekai stories, even with power mc is not untouchable and actually has to make difficult choices. Sometimes, reality can be dark. It's also not a wake up as a dragon and then fight endless monsters kind of story either, I felt that was already done too many times and chose to go for a more intrigue and life themed story. This is my first work, and I think it's rather good for a first story. Trying to develop my writing style on this. First chapters might come off as kind of rushed, I didn't spend much time on backstory and what happened to her mother I just kind of rushed mc to her new family and that really came back on me later on in the story.

I was just a normal orphan… until I wasn’t. One second, I was getting bullied in the countryside orphanage. The next, I fell off a cliff, got chased by a monster, accidentally stepped into a ruin portal, and awakened a system that forces me to evolve. Sounds cool, right? Wrong. Because apparently, my evolution comes with pain. A LOT of pain. But hey, at least I got stronger. And poison-resistant. And possibly traumatized. Now, I somehow ended up inside a academy’s ruin expedition, where everyone thinks I’m some lost amnesiac kid. (Which, for the record, was an accident. I just panicked.)
