"World conquest was never part of the plan." Yu Chen was just an ordinary programmer, slaving away at his desk, fixing bugs for a popular kingdom-building game. His life was a cycle of endless work, sleepless nights, and little appreciation. One fateful night, while struggling to fix a game-breaking bug that granted players an absurd amount of upgrade points, his exhausted heart gave out. But death wasn't the end for Yu Chen. He awoke in a world strangly familiar... he had transmigrated into the very game he had been working on, now inhabiting the body of a notorious tyrant emperor, Arkanos Bloodbane, whose empire was on the brink of destruction. Surrounded by enemies, with rebellions simmering within and war on every front, Yu Chen, now Arkanos, quickly realizes the gravity of his situation. But to his shock, he discovers that he still has access to the game's system interface—complete with the million upgrade points from the bug he had tried to fix! With his knowledge of game mechanics, strategic mind, and a wealth of upgrade points, Arkanos sets out to turn the crumbling empire into an unstoppable force. He begins by summoning legendary heroes, deploying advanced technologies never before seen in this world, and revolutionizing his military and infrastructure. As he pushes his empire to greatness, Arkanos must navigate the treacherous politics of the imperial court, fend off treacherous factions, and outmaneuver the rival nations that seek to destroy him. But with each victory, he realizes that this world is not just a game—it's his new reality. The stakes are higher, the dangers more real, and the consequences of failure more dire than ever.

Yet that life shattered with a single conversation. One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished.

This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear. Yielding to her father’s desperate request, she accepted her fate. In a single day, she went from princess to wife, her dreams abandoned and her future reshaped.

Eden's Bad Apples

The Hollowing came like a thief in the dead of the night - silent, merciless, and absolute. It was an event that permanently scarred humanity’s history, stealing along all of the possibility, wonder and hope that this world once had - for it was the year that the spark of wonder had been wretched from existence, the year that magic had died. But many soon came to realise that the Hollowing was not the end but the beginning. Cracks opened around the world, bringing about the descent of the Dark fog, and along with it, a dread unbound by mortal thought which devoured the weak and hunted those who still clung too closely to the memory of magic. Year 3999. 1800 years after the Hollowing, humanity has been pushed to live inside the walls of Domes: monolithic walls, encasing gargantuan swaths of land protected by an ancient being from the era of magic, the Acacia. Yet, the peace that it brought was like a festering wound, throbbing with unresolved mysteries and bringing about feelings of hatred and fear, of that day 1800 years ago when one decided to break an oath. As tensions beneath the surface simmer and an unknown group threatens to sink humanity down once and for all, a meeting that would change the fate of a young boy - one that had the potential to shake both sides, one that would bring about change to the whole continent of Paradoxia - was about to take place. The meeting of disciple and master. It was at that moment that the goddess of fate began to spin her wheel to weave tales for this forgotten world once more.

Azure Empire

"The Azure Empire" In a world torn by an ancient feud between humans and demons, two powerful nations—the expansive Raizen Empire of humans and the smaller, fierce DarkVeil Kingdom of demons—have clashed over land, resources, and supremacy for centuries. This relentless war culminated in the Era of the Rising Sun (330 AD) when Sol Raizen, a legendary human warrior, defeated the formidable Demon King Derous. Choosing unity over annihilation, Sol established a groundbreaking peace, merging the warring realms into a single, grand nation called the Azure Empire. As its first ruler, he implemented revolutionary laws to uphold equality among humans, demons, and soon, elves. Now, over a thousand years later, in the Era of Fornix (1357 AD), the Azure Empire stands as a symbol of unity, ruled by Sol’s descendant, King Dezaral Raizen, who has held the throne for over 30 years. Peace endures between humans, demons, and elves, but tensions simmer beneath the surface. Magic infuses daily life, with holy spells wielded by humans, dark magic by demons, and elves adept in both. Yet as the king grows older, mysterious forces and old grudges threaten to tear apart this fragile harmony. Shadows from the past stir once more, and whispers of rebellion echo from the DarkVeil and beyond. Will the Azure Empire survive the hidden trials facing it? Or will history’s long-buried conflicts once again plunge the world into war? The story unfolds as ancient secrets are uncovered, loyalties are tested, and heroes are forged.
