Stop Competition

A 1920s mafioso is now part of a time-traveling circus troupe?! Join Tobias Bell as he struggles with his past, his future, and his present problems in this original story by A.K Lore

Over a thousand years ago, the world was a battlefield. People with different powers fought relentlessly, and war and chaos became a daily routine. It was an age without peace until a mysterious woman—believed by many to be a divine messenger—arrived and changed everything. She proposed a competition to determine the five strongest abilities, and the victors would be crowned as rulers. The competition was fierce and merciless, but in the end, five champions emerged: the Lightning King, the Weapon Nation King, the Fire King, the Ice King, and the Air Queen. As a reward for their triumph, they were gifted special crowns that granted them immortality. The only way they could lose their crowns—and their lives—was by being defeated by their own bloodlines. With their newfound powers, the five rulers created nations, carved out territories, and established family lines. Under their reign, knights, branch leaders, princes, princesses, commanders, generals, and lieutenants formed a new world order. However, as with all things, peace came with its price. There was never good without bad. And now, the paths of the five nations are set to cross again. Which will you choose? The prodigies of the Lightning Nation, the bloodthirsty warriors of the Weapon Nation, the fiery determination of the Fire Nation, the analytical tacticians of the Ice Nation, or the peaceful killers of the Air Nation? All roads will converge in the "Five Nations"

Initially, the four elder brothers of the affluent Sang family disapproved of everything about their biological sister, their hearts and eyes solely focused on their foster sister. The eldest brother said, 'Stop embarrassing yourself with your acting, just retire from the industry.' The second brother remarked, 'Your life is less significant than Jiaojiao's movie premiere.' The third brother declared, 'Didn't buy you a gift, you are an outsider after all.' The fourth brother insisted, 'Don't come to my game, Jiaojiao will be there.' - After repeated disappointments, Sang Qiao carried her bag and left, not only setting up her own company to make money but also participating in a dating show with her ex-fiance as her partner. Just when she finished the show diligently, thinking she could gracefully retire from it, she suddenly felt a pair of large hands encircling her waist, and a man's voice murmured deeply: 'Where do you think you're going, naughty girl? Were you just leading me on this whole time? Hmm?' Sang Qiao: '!' I was taking the dating show seriously, and you actually fell in love???' From then on, she gained a powerful supporter, reaping the rewards of both a flourishing career and a love life. However, the four brothers, betrayed by their foster sister and realizing how wrong they were in their treatment of Sang Qiao, deeply regretted their past actions, attempting every means to reconcile. Facing the eldest brother she said: 'Stop squatting at my doorstep begging, you're affecting the city's appearance.' To the second brother she said: 'You've only lost a leg, if I take care of you, I'd be losing five million!' Confronting the third brother: 'Keep dumping trash at my doorstep and watch how unpleasant I can be.' And to the fourth brother: 'Tomorrow I'm going to visit a friend's dog, so I have no time for your competition.'

【Exhilarating】【New Ultimate Path Plus Points】【Dry Humor】 The world plummets; who shall uphold the heavens? Demons spawn from earth and sky, the Taoist stands valiant and resolute. I am Yi Chen, 'Chen' as in dust, styled Yi Chengzi, eighteen years old, fearful of violent evil spirits, fond of making money. With a cold heart and ruthless hands, he transmigrated to a bizarre world where goblins and malevolent spirits dwell, becoming the eldest senior brother of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, and as his master lay dying, he entrusted Yi Chengzi with the duty to uphold the path of benevolence and righteousness, to take good care of his younger Taoist brothers; he promised he would. However, his understanding of the path of benevolence and righteousness differed slightly from that of his master. What is benevolence? Slicing evil men and ghosts in half is benevolence. What is righteousness? Smashing the heads of evil men and ghosts into their chests completes righteousness. After his master's death, unable to awaken 'spiritual essence' for cultivation, he set upon an unorthodox path of cultivation with the help of the Golden Finger. Facing the wolves eager for a fight after his master's demise, he struck with heavy fists, understanding the true essence of righteousness. Confronting the malevolent spirits that stood in his way, he naturally reformed them with the iron fists of love. He slew demons, exorcised evil, and tested his sword against various spiritual cultivators, enjoying the landscapes of the world. When he reached the summit and looked around, he was shocked to find that demons were but minor afflictions and that this land and sky were falling... A millennium-long scheme, an eternal enigma, slowly unveiled itself. Strange, it has arrived, and it does not die or perish. Witnessing this scene, Yi Chen laughed. Even the malevolent dogs passing by his Taoist abode had to endure a couple of slaps; how dare someone be so disrespectful to him? Yi Taoist stomped one foot and soared into the heavens! The onlookers exclaimed in shock, "Taoist, stop fighting, the great 'Dao' is nearly worn away!"

Warning: R-18+ Reverse Harem. Human×Vampire×Werewolf. It began with the moon. No one remembers exactly when it started inching closer. Only that it was subtle at first—a faint red tint across its surface that deepened with each passing year like a malevolent worm creeping in and carried a curse. The tides grew restless, and the night air thickened with a strange, electric weight. Animals became erratic and then humans began to change. Fevers swept through towns, leaving bodies writhing beneath the moonlight. Some recovered. Some died. But when they woke up, those who had survived were no longer humans. Bones twisted and snapped beneath their skin as limbs reshaped. Eyes sharpened with a feral glint. Howls tore from their throats. While others rose cold and still—hearts no longer beating but senses sharpened—the scent of blood became impossible to resist. Predators were awakened by the moon. Vampires and Werewolves. To assert dominance frequent battles ensued. The fight to claim better territorial lands on the earth was inevitable. Predators kill prey, and in their desperation, turn on each other. The rival clans of Bloodfang and Stormclaw would often wage wars with each other. In the center of the endless conflict, few surviving females were caught and met their inevitable end. It was a slow death spiral that quickly turned gruesome and uncontained. And, with a hollow birth rate during wartime, the endless bloodshed inevitably pushed the human population to the brink of extinction. With humanity teetering on the edge of collapse, the wolves and vampires were forced to face an uncomfortable truth: without humans, they too would die out. Out of desperation, a fragile truce was forged. In the year 2174, a three-way pack where wolves, vampires, and humans would coexist. The terms were simple: humans would be protected from unchecked slaughter, and in return, they would serve as the lifeblood needed to sustain both species. It had been a hundred and eighty years since the alliance formed, marking the year 2324. And now, Velvetiana was about to step into their world or rather, she was to step back into the world that had forgotten her. The sole crimson flower of the Corvinus Clan. Determined to live through her university life with a goal to graduate and crawl out from poverty, how will she deal with Blood Cardinals and Werewolf Alphas, who never cease to cause trouble for her like a swarm of frantic bees? The very bees that are out to suck the nectar from her blooming red flowers that is.

In a world where magic grows stronger only through battle and bloodshed, sorcerers live by one rule: keep killing, or be forgotten. Kael Ardyn was once nothing—a weak noble-born mage with a Flickerfire Spell so pathetic that even peasants mocked him. His family was exiled, his lands stolen, his future erased. Left for dead by his own allies, he had no hope… until he stumbled upon the Killstreak Grimoire. Now, his magic follows a terrifying new law: every consecutive kill multiplies his power, evolving his spells into apocalyptic forces. But if he stops—even for a moment—his power resets to nothing. To survive, he must chain his kills endlessly, each battle pushing him further into madness. As Kael rises, so do his enemies. The Empire’s Mage Guild brands him a rogue. The legendary Unbreakable Duke—the warlord who destroyed his family—returns to hunt him down. And lurking in the shadows, the Killstreak Tyrant, the first and strongest to ever wield this power, awakens to reclaim his throne. Can Kael master the art of endless slaughter before his enemies erase him? Or will he become another forgotten failure in the long, bloody history of Killstreak Sorcerers? The countdown has begun. His timer is ticking. And if he stops killing… he dies.

The Great Qin Empire is a sweeping historical novel chronicling the rise and fall of the Qin state. Emerging from the ferocious competition among rival warlords, the Qin Empire established a powerful, unified dynasty and pioneered a new Iron Age civilization. Yet it lasted only 15 years, vanishing like a fleeting meteor. Within this dramatic historical arc lie countless legendary tales of heroes, statesmen, and their intertwined fates-noble or wicked, heroic or ordinary-all composing a grand historical symphony. The social framework and cultural traditions forged by the Qin Empire continue to shape Chinese life today, forming a cornerstone of the nation's spiritual identity. The Qin Empire rose through ruthless competition, embodying the pragmatic, innovative spirit of its era. It championed legalism, sweeping reforms, centralized governance, and relentless state-building. Over 160 years and six generations of rulers, it achieved a revolutionary transformation, unifying China and ushering in a new Iron Age civilization that redefined agricultural society. This monumental literary work vividly portrays Qin's arduous journey from near-collapse to dominance during the Warring States period (475-221 BCE). Beginning with Duke Xiao of Qin, the state pursued reforms and modernization through generations of unyielding effort, ultimately conquering rival states to unify China.
