Koshikawa Masafumi, a guy who has never had close friends or family, transmigrated into the body of Nils Fehrenbach in an elegant renaissance and baroque inspired world of magic and fantasy. what to expect: -although there WILL be combat, action, adventure, antagonistical figures and the like...that is not the main factor of the story. To put it simply, the main character does NOT have a main goal and therefore doesn't strive for anything like defeating a certain someone, uncovering mysteries etcetera. -powerful characters will exist plentifully in the story, but at no point will the main character be the most powerful in the series. he will be amongst the most powerful, but I can guarantee that more than four characters will easily outscale him -the main focus is character interactions, both with each other and the environment. So prepare for a LOT of side characters and supporting characters (and arcs) -the powersystem isn't what I what call unique, but it not common either, but still common enough to grasp quickly (if any of that makes sense)

Dans un monde en déclin, où les vestiges d’espoir s’effacent et où la confiance n’est plus qu’un murmure oublié, un jeune homme se tient à la croisée des chemins. Il ne cherche pas de héros, ni de miracles, mais une vérité : celle de sa propre identité. Déchiré entre le poids d’un passé brisé, fugace et un futur incertain, il entreprend une quête extraordinaire, semée d’épreuves, de doutes, et de révélations bouleversantes. À travers les ruines d’une civilisation qui a perdu foi en elle-même, il explore les profondeurs de ce que signifie être humain. Quels souvenirs façonnent nos âmes ? Que sommes nous sans ces derniers ? Qu’est-ce qui donne un sens à notre existence lorsque tout semble s’effondrer ? Et jusqu’où sommes-nous prêts à aller pour retrouver ceux que nous avons perdus ? Plongez dans une odyssée introspective et épique, où chaque pas est une bataille contre soi-même et le monde, où la lumière vacille mais refuse de s’éteindre. Car même dans les ténèbres les plus profondes, il subsiste toujours une lueur pour qui ose la chercher. Un periple dont le but est la lumiere.

In a world where magic once flowed like rivers beneath the earth, its lifeblood is failing. The ley lines that sustained civilizations and ecosystems are collapsing, and with them, the last vestiges of balance between nature, magic, and technology. Elandriel Windwhisper and the remaining leaders of their world face an impossible choice: fight for survival in a dying land, or cross a mysterious bridge to a world without magic, where everything they've known may be lost forever. A decision looms, but what will they be forced to leave behind? What is the true cost of survival?

In a world, similar to earth, with a lush planet and advanced technologies,near cyberpunk mixed with old technologies and ideologies, a millennia ago, a very power god, worked hand in hand with an extremely advanced race, to combine technology and magic, making this world known as Lua, undergo changes, with 10 continents, each with its own nations, to change, people gained a system, the systems helped grant a class, some were combat, others engineer, and some everyday professions, like blacksmiths, armorers, even actors had classes be born into existence, well on year 2153, a particular short statured girl------ named Silver Hailstorm, whom just turned sixteen, the age of the system awakening and also the day she has to register her class with the kingdoms hunters association, something some dread for their weak or common class, others look forward to, but on this day, silver is treating it like any other. Working in the family owned mechanic and armor fitting shop, where most of the clientele is military vehicles, the money is decent,but not enough to help us climb the social pedigree and gain a spot in a tier 2 city. Silver is a cat girl standing at only four feet tall, making her no bigger than the dwarves, and no less aggressive as them, usually wearing her mechanic coveralls, and a black tank top, the upper part of the coveralls tied around her waist, and her over sized weilding gloves, and weilding goggles adorning the top of her hair, grease stains can be seen all over her, but uncaring to all this as she works on taking the damaged armor panels off the hover troop transport. A vehicle that has a very similar appearance to a humvee or Bear, on earth. Her Dad, Also a Cat person, here they are just known as nekos from here on thats how they will be addressed, burst through the office door into the bay while trying his best to yell over the drown of loud rock music, and the industrial grinder. "Sil!...Sil! you have to go awaken and register your system!". Barely hearing him over the noise, silver cuts the grinder off before walking over to her dad, giving a quick hug before dashing out while tossing over her reply. "thanks dad for the reminder im leaving now!" And like the neko she has always been, fast and too agile for her own good she sprints down to the office, her small size allowing her to zigzag and at times perform acrobatics to not bump into people, a feat larger people would struggle to repeat as she does, rushing to the office about half an hour away from the shop on foot. She laughs and cackles on glee and the sheer freedom and speed she is going through so mych foot traffic, being a tier one city with more than twenty million people in it, theres always a lot of foot traffic.Some people who have seen her in traffic before are used to her antics while others are awestruck and surprised as she flashes by, her red pixie cute hair fluttering around her and her red and white stripped hears easily seen as she does flipps and dives over people into the tiny spots in the crowd. After a near flat out run, for 15 solid minutes, making it outside the huge hunters building, where hundreds of thousands of new hunters and old are streaming in for various reasons, some are just like her here to activate the system and see what they awakened as and to register.Walking in and looking around having to hop several feet in the air a few times to survey over the crowd, in doing so drawing some attention from several group all around wondering if she is part rabbit or something, some of the people in line in front and behind her giggle and laugh and a couple dwarves smirk as they realize what she is trying to do before she finally sees that she actually randomly selected the correct line on the first try. "phew, made it, and im not dead last, hopefully i awakened something with machine..." she says,a bit of forshadowing.

Eve Ziffer always believed that one day her nano-machines would save humanity. It needed to be saved—from pollution, from the climate change, from the wars. Yet in the end, her research instead turned out to be the thing that pushed it into the very abyss. After surviving an attack and waking up from a six-years long coma that followed, Eve opens her eyes to see the world changed beyond recognition. Walking corpses roam the streets, and humans fight them with swords and superpowers. Now Eve is the only person able to finish her own work and fix the nano-machines that brought this devastation. Whether the last vestiges of mankind would disappear, or would the human race rise like a phoenix from the ashes—all lies in hands of Eve and the people she will meet along the way. They will fight and they will scheme and they will talk, because human vices are adversaries as bad as the zombies; and trials of friendship and love can be as perilous as any battle. ===================== Victor leaned towards her face, burning her with his glare. “No.” “I’m doing this for myself, for you and for science. Any single one of these reasons is enough to keep disagreeing with you.” Victor’s eyes dropped to her lips. ‘There is more than a single way to dominate a person…’ Before he could even try to stop himself, he dived in, pressing his lips on hers. His hand grabbed the back of Eve’s head, another fell on Eve’s thin waist and followed the alluring lines of her figure to her hip. His body was burning with inner fire. Eve was too shocked to think. She never expected for this standoff to end like it did. Victor kissed her as if he wanted to eat her. His bites stung, but his lips soothed. The heat of his hand burned her skin even through clothes. Then Eve finally regained her sanity. She drove her knee into Victor’s groin. He gasped and bended in pain, letting Eve go. Before he could resist, she continued the combo with a strike to the back of his head and a submission hold on his arm. “What are you doing?! I should’ve listened to Xia better. Men really are worse than dogs! How did I miss the moment when your brain had turned into mush, Victor?” “I didn’t think that I would need to spell it out, but there can be no romantic interactions in work time, and no romantic relations between researchers and test subjects. More than that, I’m not interested!” ==================== [Status: completed] Warning!

Dans un monde appelé Oasis, la société a atteint un état de parfaite harmonie avec la nature. Les habitants, appelés les Sélènes, vivent en symbiose avec leur environnement luxuriant, un écosystème où chaque être vivant, du plus petit insecte au plus grand arbre, est respecté et chéri. Les ressources sont abondantes, et personne ne souffre du besoin ou de la privation. Les Sélènes ont choisi un mode de vie basé sur l’autonomie individuelle, où chaque personne est libre de suivre ses passions et de forger son propre chemin sans l’influence de prophéties ou de destin préétabli. La société des Sélènes est strictement laïque, fondée sur la raison, la science, et la coopération. Les mythes religieux et les croyances mystiques ont été oubliés depuis longtemps, considérés comme des vestiges d’un passé révolu. Chaque individu est respecté pour sa singularité, et aucune forme de manipulation mentale ou d’oppression psychologique n’existe. La liberté d'esprit est sacrée, et les Sélènes valorisent avant tout l'intégrité mentale et l'indépendance d'esprit. Cependant, cette société idéale est sur le point d'être bouleversée. Un mystérieux groupe d'individus, les Éveilleurs, commence à répandre des idées étranges dans les communautés. Ils parlent de rêves partagés, de visions inexplicables, et d'une force ancienne qui serait sur le point de revenir. Ils prétendent qu'une Eclipse approche, une perturbation cosmique qui pourrait rompre l'équilibre parfait d'Oasis et ramener des éléments que la société croyait disparus à jamais : des prophéties, des figures messianiques, et la tentation du pouvoir. L'histoire suit Lyra, une jeune botaniste passionnée, dont la vie paisible est bouleversée lorsqu'elle commence à faire des rêves troublants, similaires à ceux décrits par les Éveilleurs. Peu à peu, Lyra se retrouve entraînée dans une quête pour découvrir la vérité derrière ces rêves et l'Eclipse annoncée. Doit-elle ignorer ces visions et préserver l'harmonie de sa société, ou accepter leur réalité et risquer de bouleverser l'équilibre si précieux d'Oasis ? Au cours de son voyage, Lyra rencontrera d'autres personnages qui, comme elle, commencent à douter du monde parfait dans lequel ils vivent. Ensemble, ils devront faire face à des dilemmes moraux complexes : maintenir la liberté individuelle à tout prix, ou accepter un destin commun qui pourrait mener à une nouvelle ère de croyance et de pouvoir ? Eclipse of Harmony explore les tensions entre autonomie et communauté, entre raison et foi, et questionne la véritable nature de la liberté dans un monde qui semble parfait mais qui cache peut-être des secrets bien plus sombres.

[Audience Rating: 18+] — Meet Jack Greyson, an ordinary human from Earth who unwittingly activated a certain item that transported him to a distant world located in the vast and endless Seas of Stars. Appearing as the weakest and most feeble in this world, Jack must fervently train and swiftly grow stronger using the 'Trifaceted Talent System'—a potent and enigmatic, talent-infusing interface of unknown origins. This system will transform his vulnerability, frailty, and oppression into unbounded, obliterative savagery, immense desolating strength, and unparalleled destructiveness by imbuing him with three phenomenal talents: unbound might, limitless speed, and the ability to ceaselessly manifest countless, myriad battle drones—technologically sophisticated ones hugely advanced than monumental fighter drones from hundreds of thousands of centuries in the future. Furthermore, each of these talents come with complementing marvelous and fascinating abilities that will make Jack apocalyptically strong, destructively fierce, and incomparably fearsome. But all these, he would need to constantly, diligently work for and earn by completing numerous secret tasks, as well as minor, common-event to grand, special-event missions that have varying degrees of difficulty, dangers, and peril—some could turn him into a disabled cripple with torn-off limbs and shredded, gashed, or melted skin, or rendered as a viciously ruined corpse. While others could leave him as scattered drops of bright, rusty red fluid, staining the ground, walls, or filling the atmosphere confined in whatever area he was reduced to as either crimson fog or mist. To know more, accompany Jack Greyson in his unrelenting, dauntless, and indefatigable, extremely perilous quests across numerous unbounded worlds or vast dimensional planes that dot the 'boundless Seas of Stars' and are filled with strange, strong and agile entities, ravenous beastly creatures, and terrifying sentient monstrosities. In these unknown, foreign worlds and planes, Jack will attempt to dominate their powerful inhabitants and leave behind his indelible mark, lingering vestige, and everlasting legacy on each of them! *** This story intertwines compelling epic actions, daring adventures, advanced technology, preternatural powers, a unique Level-Up System, romance, and the complexities of enviable, loyal and beautiful friendships turned family.

Luo Hong was standing in front of the mountain gate of Huangfeng Valley. At this moment, he had to admit the fact that he had traveled to "Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" Pushing the glasses that no longer existed, Luo Hong said categorically, "Like Han Li, I am a false spiritual root" "It seems the only way I can go is to scientifically cultivate immortality!" Why is there a bottleneck on every fourth level during the qi refining realm? How can you maximize the chance of establishing a foundation? How many factors affect the speed of cultivation? How fast is Han Li running? When cultivating immortality in this world is an objective fact, then science is immortal cultivation, and immortal cultivation is science! (Note: This is not my book)
