As the ruler of a munitions empire, Tang Mo unexpectedly fell and was transported to an entirely different world, where he also unexpectedly acquired a "King of Munitions" system. In this underdeveloped world, Tang Mo relied on the abilities granted to him by the system to drive the development of the entire world. After all, the desire for civilization conquest had always been the driving force behind progress, and life had continuously evolved between attack and defense over tens of millions of years... So, selling assault rifles to these archers and training knights to be tank operators... there shouldn't be any problem with that, right? XD

Having traveled to the year 1983, Lu Jiaxin found herself at the start facing the failure of the original host in a high school exam, a stepmother who was sweet on the outside but dark-hearted, and a purely self-interested father. Designer Lu, facing a hellish start, decided: if her stepmother made a move, she'd countermove tenfold! If her father failed to act like a human, she'd teach him how to! She still intended to continue college; she heard that the degrees from Hong Kong University in the '80s were quite valuable, so she flung her sleeves and bravely explored the financial and business circles of Hong Kong. Bulky mobile phones, beepers, "007" on the dance floor! Victoria Mountain, Shallow Bay, female tycoons of Victoria!

"Now, go forth, my mortal champion! Conquer this world—or else!" I lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving me a second chance in another world. There, I became royalty—the lazy kind with almost no obligations, free to live in peace and luxury for the rest of my days. Sounds like a dream, right? In reality, it was anything but—because I became *BEE* royalty. A Drone Bee, doomed to die of old age in 2 months! (A humanoid bee, thankfully, but still a bee in all the ways that matter.) The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony—a deadly task in a vicious world like this one. There are murderous insect monsters, colossal beasts trampling the earth, other civilizations, natural disasters, and the bitchy patron goddess who absolutely hates me. But as long as I have my brains, my bees, and the powerful genes my system gives me, my Bee Empire will be unstoppable! === For those who want to know more: This is a wholesome comedic story, but it has some dark moments. The focus is on kingdom building, survival as an empire, and interacting with MC’s beautiful bee wife and adorable bee daughters. The bees are all humanoid (see pictures) and human-sized. However, they are still bees in their ways of life and mentality. Although there’s a system, real growth comes from putting effort and time. Nothing happens in an instant in this story, unless it’s trouble. MC acts like an idiot sometimes (oftentimes), but he’s not actually stupid-stupid. When it comes to strategic decisions, he uses logic and reason. Even if you might disagree with it. Also, there will be no smut (ecchi is a fair game), incest, NTR, harem or BL. === Discord is up!

He owns her name, her future, and her silence. But he’ll never own her fire. To save her family’s legacy, Cassie Kensington signs a brutal contract—one that binds her in a fake marriage to Christian Masters, the ruthless billionaire who once destroyed everything she loved. Cold, brilliant, and dangerously controlled, Christian doesn’t believe in love. He believes in ownership. And now that Cassie is his—legally, publicly, intimately—he plans to reshape her into the perfect trophy wife. But Cassie isn’t the naïve girl he remembers. She’s calculated, strategic, and more dangerous than he ever expected. Behind the smiles and luxury gowns lies a battlefield. Each touch, each whisper, each camera flash hides a deeper game of power, passion, and betrayal. Because Cassie has a plan. And Christian Masters? He’s just become her favorite enemy to destroy. In a world where marriage is a war zone, who will break first: the woman with nothing to lose—or the man who thought he’d already won?

In the depths of the underground, power isn't taken—it’s built, piece by bloody piece. Alex was born with nothing. No family. No future. Just a sharp mind and a will to survive. But when betrayal leaves him broken and alone, he begins to see the world for what it truly is—a ruthless game of influence, deception, and silent wars fought behind closed doors. Haunted by a past he can’t escape and driven by a hunger he can’t suppress, Alex sets out to carve a path to the top—not for glory, but for control. Of his fate. Of the city. Of the throne. But in a world where shadows move faster than bullets and every ally could be a future traitor... can he rise without losing himself along the way?

The Sidorian Kingdom, once a proud and revered dominion within the Padovian continent, became a ruthless empire under the iron rule of King Zerudic Clemen del Sidorian IV—a power-hungry monarch who carved his name into the bones of history, swallowing the entire continent whole. After a decade of unrelenting conquest, he crowned himself Emperor Zerudic Clemen del Sidorian I, founding what would become the most feared regime the continent had ever known. A hundred years have passed since that war. The Sidorian Empire now stretches beyond the seas, consuming foreign lands beneath the shadow of its banners. Whispers of their coming are enough to send lesser kingdoms into frantic alliances, praying to be spared the wrath of Sidoria's unstoppable legions. At the heart of their fearsome military was the Dragonian Army—a brutal, elite force led by none other than Alkaris Budenmore, the living dragon and Grand Duke of the Budenmore Duchy, a land famed for its draconic legacy and unmatched warriors. But beneath the weight of empire, cracks begin to form. As whispers of betrayal stir in the halls of power. And when a blade finds its mark where loyalty once stood… Even dragons can fall.... ††‡‡‡★★††‡‡‡★★††‡‡‡★★††‡‡‡★★ After ten years of peace, a prophecy was. received bythe House of Angelo, the Grand Duchy whose veins ran with angelic blood. "The Sword of Sidoria shall fall before standing against it. It shall surely stand against it..." Only half of the prophecy was shared with the public—to prevent panic. However, it didn’t work. Silent fear still crept into the hearts of the people, and whispers of weakness began to slowly spread. But the other half— "...Alkaris Budenmore shall awaken as the dragon and stand against Sidoria..." —was kept hidden, known only to three: the Emperor, the heir of House Angelo, and the Pope. The prophecy was clear… or maybe not. Still, the message was enough to make them act. Alkaris Budenmore—the last of the dragon bloodline—had to be controlled. A vote was cast in secret. It was agreed: “Before the dragon awakes, he shall be the sword of the Empire… then he shall die.” And so, a silent decision was made. If the prophecy was true—he must die. If it was false—he must still die. The next morning, fourteen-year-old Alkaris Budenmore was summoned to inherit the title of Grand Duke—replacing his father who died mysteriously just two months prior. As tradition demanded, he swore loyalty to the throne, binding his soul to the crown that would one day devour him. This was not the beginning of his rise. This was the beginning of his fall.

***** EARTH The Earth was viewed and considered as a useless planet and was discarded alongside with its inhabitants due to its lack of Mana. It was inhabited by the "Humans". The humans were known to be the weakest race, yet they were also regarded as the most intelligent of all races. Humans were normal beings who were only focused on creating and evolving by using their intelligence. In addition, they also used martial arts as a power tool to become stronger. The human were completely surprised when they learnt of other races existence such as Elves, Dwarves, Fees, Demons and many other beings whose strengths and powers were beyond their imagination. But what surprised them the most, was to find out that there were humans like them who possessed great powers like the other races. These humans resided in two different places, the first one was the "Azua Empire" and the second one was "Juptier Planet" they self-proclaimed themselves as the descendants of the gods, since they possessed divine powers and mighty abilities. The normal humans couldn't fully accept the fact that there actually existed mighty beings, until Aella, a stunningly beautiful girl, came to the city of Sion. After she was born, Aella May Scarlet, the legitimate daughter of the Pearls family, a family who are known as the most influential, powerful and wealthy family in Sion city, was swapped with the Zeiner family's daughter and was abandoned by them in the most dangerous forests known as the "Eclipse Kingdom". This forest was filled with mystical and monstrous creatures. Aella was found and raised by her master/father Otiz Scarlet, a man who is regarded to be the strongest man on earth. When Aella turned ten years old, Otiz began to train her as he realized that Aella possessed mighty powers and skills that were beyond one's understanding. In a deserted land stood two men, an elderly woman and a little girl. Suddenly, the taller man, Otiz, let out a long sigh and said, ".... Aella". "Mm" answered the little girl. Then Otiz raised his eyes and looked at the mess created by Aella and spoke again. "I can't believe you actually destroyed an entire kingdom". The little girl scanned the place that looked like a desert with cold eyes, she then looked at her master and flatly said. "You told me to do it." Otiz jaw dropped, he stared at Aella with big eyes "......!" "What?........I did?" *** AUTHOR'S NOTE**** Hello everyone, this is Nedjyna the author of this novel. This is my own original novel.

"Listen..." In a distant echo, Domine is called from the depths of his indolence. Awakened by a dream, he emerges into a world shrouded in mystery—a landscape where voices echo through the air, urging him from sleep to awareness. In this vast and shadowy realm, colossal silhouettes of unborn empires arise from the mist—titanic towers, immense domes, and endless walls, suspended on the threshold between existence and oblivion. Amid the darkness, a single red eye glows, ancient and unfathomable, concealed within the black silhouette of an indistinct presence. Its gaze pierces the void, indifferent and eternal, as light and darkness struggle for dominion over a world yet to be formed. Now awakened, Domine must attempt to recollect his destiny. As he recalls the enigmatic landscape, it feels as though hours have passed, although only minutes have slipped by. The sensation is like that of someone who has slept a deep, dreamless sleep, where time stretches beyond its normal bounds, and the waking world suddenly seems unfamiliar, as if eternity itself is pressing against the door. He tries to understand his role within the unfolding saga of empires, knowing that the true problem lies in the moment when dreams take on the shape of reality—because the proud always get what they desire.
