Bolt Mittens

“Brother, you are a disgrace to our empire!” the Emperor roared, his voice echoing in the throne room. “You drown yourself in wine while your niece, the brightest jewel of the empire, is being courted by geniuses and kings!” Leaning lazily against a pillar, Wei Feng took a long swig from his wine jug and let out a discreet burp. “Mmm... And what’s the problem?” he replied, his voice slurred. “Those ‘geniuses’ are just noisy peacocks. And as for the jewel of the empire... she already has an owner.” Wei Feng, the Drunken Prince, the Royal Failure who renounced the throne. Everyone in the empire sees him as a useless parasite. What they don’t know is that, in the shadows, this decadent prince is building a collection of the most powerful, beautiful, and dangerous women the world has ever known. And the first piece in his collection, the most precious and forbidden, is the Crown Princess herself. “The heavens could strike me down with a thousand bolts of lightning, and the ancestors could curse my name for ten thousand years...” he whispered to her one night, his warm breath against her earlobe as her body trembled under his touch. He paused, a smile that could almost be felt in the darkness. “...and still, every second of this sin with you would be worth it. Let them call me a demon. What kind of demon wouldn’t enjoy corrupting an angel?” [Author's Note] Welcome! Prepare for a story where the empire's most underestimated protagonist proves that true power doesn't lie on a throne.

30000+ Words Before Locked ______ Leon never asked for greatness. He just wanted to escape his flirty stepbrother and survive another miserable day. But fate had other plans—delivered by a lightning bolt and a cosmic accident. Reborn in a brutal world of mana, monsters, and cultivation, Leon starts at the bottom. No legacy. No allies. No system. Just seven divine treasure spins. And then—everything changes. [Class: Elemental Paragon(SSS)] A class whispered only in dread. A name that doesn’t exist—only a myth followed. Along with the class came another gift. [Ding!] [Host successfully connected to Cosmic System!] Unlike the standard system others in his world use, Leon’s was different. It came with features no one else had—like a mysterious [SHOP], filled with items so rare they bordered on myth. Treasures that could warp reality. Twist fate. Even in the lowest of the low Earthly Planes, Leon could purchase artifacts of Legendary or even Mythical rank. But every treasure had a cost—one no amount of gold could pay. And then there was the [CHAT]. A place where the most terrifying beings in existence—galaxy-shattering Absolutes and universe-warping entities—casually exchanged words. Like The Keeper of The Dimensions, Lord of Space and Time… In that chat, Leon was mistaken as one of them. One of the powerful. One of the untouchable. In reality, he was weaker than a worm compared to them. But that wouldn’t last. Leon made himself a quiet promise: 'One day, I’ll meet them for real.' 'And when I do…' 'I won’t be mistaken anymore.' He’ll rise. He’ll reach the apex. ____ #NO NTR #NO Yuri ____ Discord: https://discord.gg/yD2GXRHHfp Buy the poor author a coffee here, your support is appreciated. https://ko-fi.com/authordesend

"Grey, elemental affinity, zero" The Elder announced the result loudly On hearing this, it was like a bolt of lightning struck Grey, he stood there dumbfounded and just stared at the Elder. Shocked voices could be heard from the people and there was some which were also filled with scorn. Grey stood dazed amidst all the noises without any reactions. One word was constantly reverberating in his head, 'How?'. 'Why, why did this happen to me?' Grey asked himself over and over again **************** Unbeknownst to Grey, something greater lies in wait in his body.... *************** Check out the book, leave a review after reading, and also your powerstones. Hope you enjoy this, and Thanks for reading ^_^ P.S: When I started this book I had zero writing experience, so the first chapters aren't that great, although, my writing quality has improved over time. Also, English isn't my first language, so there are some instances where my choice of words are not good enough for what I'm trying to portray. A heads up, the book will be using a medieval setting.

But was divine punishment finally upon him? From that moment on, he begins to see something strange: a prophetic book that reveals the future. And not just any future, but a prophecy of the end of the world. Money maniac Fernan Pellenberg is the young heir of House Pellenberg, one of the Empire’s most prestigious houses, and a top student at the Imperial Academy. However, he’s infamous for something else: his obsession with money. As a ruthless money-hound, he only acknowledges those who bring him profit and views everything in the world through the lens of monetary value. People avoid him, finding his greed repulsive. One day, out of nowhere, disaster strikes Fernan like a bolt from the blue. As his consciousness begins to fade, something attempts to invade and take over his mind, but Fernan forcefully expels it instead.

There was no explosion. No fire. No second chance. Earth died in silence, swallowed by an unnatural black hole that erased history without a trace. No one screamed. No one ran. There was only the pull — and then, the void. But humanity was not ended. It was scattered. By a force unknown even to the machines it created, select individuals were plucked from extinction and dropped across a distant galaxy. Each survivor awakened alone aboard a mothership, guided by a hyper-intelligent AI and armed with a handful of randomly assigned blueprints. Some found themselves above vibrant alien worlds teeming with sentient life. Others, like Cassian Vale, awoke to lifeless silence—adrift above a shattered planet and a cold red star, with no civilization, no crew, and no voice but EVA: his AI, his companion, and perhaps his only remaining anchor to humanity. Cassian's only advantage? A single, exclusive blueprint: the A.V.A. Project — an autonomous robotic base capable of producing machines that could mine, build, and eventually fight. But everything must be earned. Every alloy, every bolt, every advance must be scraped from asteroid stone or stolen from others like him. As Cassian begins his lonely journey to forge civilization from ruin, he must battle cosmic storms, hostile remnants, resource starvation, and eventually, other survivors—humans who were given different starts, different species to command, and the choice to lead their worlds through science or sorcery, peace or war. But above them all, watching silently, is the System — an unseen architect that chose who would rise and who would fall… and which god, human or otherwise, would shape the future of the stars.

Lee Kang Woo lived a life no one envied — born poor, overworked, broken dreams, and a family he loved but couldn’t provide for. In his late 30s, with nothing left to lose, he looked death in the eye… but death didn’t come. Heaven struck first. A bolt of thunder ripped through the sky — and took him with it. When he opened his eyes, he wasn’t dead… just somewhere else. A world of swords, sects, and martial demons. No system. No cheats. Only his will. And it turns out, that was enough to shake the heavens.

He’s her assistant. Loyal. Obedient. Untouchable. Victoria Sharp built her tech empire from scratch. She's rich, ruthless, and always in control. No scandals, no distractions—especially not from a certain devastatingly attractive executive assistant with bewitching eyes and a voice that could ruin her in seconds. James Mitchell has worked under Victoria for three years, hiding his desire behind professionalism and perfect ties. He knows the rules. He respects her boundaries. But when she starts breaking her own, James isn’t sure how long he can keep pretending he doesn’t want her. What begins as subtle tension—lingering stares, coffee with hidden meanings, after-hours “accidental” meetings—spirals into something hotter, darker, and far more dangerous. She’s used to power. He’s used to silence. But neither of them is ready for obsession. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If you want these lips, then earn them." James's words hung in the air between them, transforming the atmosphere in Victoria's office from tense confrontation to something entirely unprecedented. Victoria sat frozen in her chair, her lips still parted in silent shock, her mind struggling to process what had just transpired. Earn them. The phrase echoed in her thoughts, foreign and disorienting. "If you want to keep tasting these lips, then you'll have to woo me." The additional statement landed like a second shockwave. Woo him? Victoria Sharp didn't woo anyone. ------------- "Victoria, what are you—" James words died in his throat as he felt the warm, wet heat of her tongue against his exposed chest. Victoria had found the gap in his shirt and was licking his skin with deliberate, erotic slowness that made his entire body go rigid with shock and arousal. The sensation was unlike anything James had ever experienced—raw and intimate and so unexpected that it short-circuited his ability to think coherently. Victoria's tongue was warm and soft against his skin, tracing patterns that sent bolts of electricity straight to his core. This was madness, she knew that. But she was past caring about sanity or propriety or any of the rules that had governed her life up until this moment. All she cared about was the man in her arms and the way he made her feel like she was coming alive for the first time in years. Her tongue found the small mole on under his right eye, and she felt James's entire body shudder at the contact. "I love that mole on you," she whispered against his skin, her voice husky with desire. James's eyes slammed shut at the intimate contact, his body betraying him as a soft groan escaped his lips. The sensation of Victoria's tongue on his face was so unexpected, so boldly sensual, that his pulse hammering against his throat. "I will do as you say, James," she said, her voice husky with desire and determination. "I will woo you." The words sent a jolt of satisfaction through James's system, but it was her next statement that made his breath catch. "However, you should know that I am very territorial." "You just sit down, look effortlessly handsome, and prepare to be wooed," she said, her voice carrying all the authority of a woman who was used to getting exactly what she wanted. "Remember, James," she said, her voice dropping to a whisper that somehow managed to carry more authority than any shout ever could. "You are mine." The declaration hung between them like a brand, marking him as surely as if she'd physically claimed him. Enemies-to-lovers tension CEO x Executive Assistant Office slow-burn with high heat Obsession, betrayal, and emotional redemption One woman who’s never been owned—and the man she can’t control If you love dominant heroines breaking their own rules, devoted but strong men, and drama that keeps you breathless, then be ready to be will consumed.

I should’ve run. When the blood-soaked man collapsed on me in that alley, I should’ve screamed. Called the cops. Bolted. But I didn’t. I can't even say why. He threatened me yet I dragged him home. I disinfected his wounds. I let him stay, hoping he'd leave me alone but he didn't. And now? Now the devil sleeps on my couch, cooks me breakfast, and kisses like sin itself. He says his name is Kieran. Says he’s hiding. Says he won’t hurt me... unless I give him a reason. But the men hunting him aren’t just thugs. They’re ghosts in tailored suits and bloody silk gloves. Politicians. Kingmakers. Killers. And he’s not just some criminal. He’s the Kingpin. The one they whisper about when the lights go out. The one they’ve been trying to erase. I was just a miserable office girl with a boyfriend that was both a green and red flag, a family who barely registered my presence unless to mock me or demand for money and a life going nowhere. Now I’m in the crossfire of empires. My name is Kina. And I think I’ve fallen in love with the last man on earth who deserves it. But love won’t save us. Only war will.

Leo Vance is a ghost in the machine—a brilliant architect whose genius is stolen daily by his smug, charismatic boss. He's the "CAD monkey" who designs masterpieces, only to watch another man take the credit. His warnings are ignored, his reports are deleted, and his talent is treated as a cheap commodity. He predicted the catastrophic failure of the Titan Tower down to the last sheared bolt. He knew it would fall. He never imagined it would fall on him. Pinned by the very disaster he tried to prevent, with less than a second until impact, reality shatters. A mysterious System appears, offering him a title worthy of his skill: The Architect. It grants him the power to edit the world around him, to treat physics as a blueprint and reality as a draft. But power always has a price. The System's offer is a devil's bargain: survive the impact by sacrificing decades of his lifespan, or watch his bank account get drained to zero for a solution that might be too slow to save him. Trapped between an early grave and a living death, Leo discovers the first rule of his new reality: every choice is a transaction, and the cost of survival is always higher than you think. He was a man who designed buildings. Now, he must design his own escape from a problem with no right answers

In the 3,476th year of the Celestial Calendar, the Heavenly Emperor—whose divinity was rivaled only by his boredom—rewrote the Immortal Code of Gender Assignments during a particularly uneventful spring. According to Clause 89, Subsection Moonlight, Paragraph Absolutely-Not-Optional, any being born with an overwhelmingly high-yin spiritual constitution could only, by universal decree, be classified as female. It was simple. Efficient. Divine. Except… someone made a mistake. A mortal child was born deep within the darkest stretch of the Eternal Spirit Forest, surrounded by mist, mystery, and mushrooms that sang lullabies. He was bright-eyed, soft-voiced, high-yin… and very, very male. The thunder cracked the day he laughed. A white wolf howled. A snake offered him venom like warm milk. The trees whispered ancient songs. And the heavens? Well, they began preparing lightning bolts on standby—just in case someone down there got too clever and said something like: “Wait… is that a boy?” Boom. Thus began the most unusual cultivation tale in ten thousand realms. A tale of a child raised by beasts, mistaken for a goddess, blessed with yin that could stop hearts, and cursed with thunder that would smite anyone who dared question the Heavenly Code. This is the story of Xiulan. Or as the forest calls him: “Our beautiful, powerful, emotionally unstable daughter.” Or as heaven calls him: “ERROR 404: Gender Not Found.”

A hundred years ago, seven divine pagodas emerged across Asia, reviving the world's long-lost spiritual energy. The Great Revival that followed transformed animals into beasts, forests into forbidden domains, and humanity itself into something new. Yet even nuclear fire could not save mankind from near extinction — only ancient cultivation could. In this new era, strength defines fate. Blood quality is everything. In the Azure Martial Middle School, Bai Xiao — younger brother of a renowned prodigy — steps up for his blood awakening ceremony, only to awaken with a result barely above worthless: a blood quality of 1. Mocked by peers, overshadowed by his sister’s brilliance, and burdened by his family’s fragile status, Bai Xiao’s path seems destined to end before it begins. But when a bolt of lightning strikes him, Bai Xiao discovers a mysterious bead carrying the inheritance of a forgotten, powerful being. Within this ancient artifact lie countless lost techniques and heavenly treasures — the keys to defy fate itself. From the shadows of ridicule to the peak of cultivation, Bai Xiao must walk a road paved with danger, secrets, and betrayal. Will the weight of his legacy crush him? Or will he rise to become a legend that transcends bloodlines?

All he ever wanted in life was to become a football player. However, due to his lack of talent, that dream never came true. While he was "playing" football with some kids, the ball ended up being kicked out of the small field they were in. When he went to retrieve it, a lightning bolt struck him. Thinking that this would be the end of his life, the man made one last wish before finally closing his eyes. And, to his luck, it was granted. But not in the way he had imagined.

Leo Kael, a 16-year-old high school student, finds his life turned upside down the day a bolt of lightning strikes him.

"Hey, want to be reincarnated?" It all started with that simple question, sure it wasn't said exactly in that way or context but it's all the same, the events remained the same... and so did its effects, its effects on both her story and on herself. Mysterious beings sending people across the many worlds through a cafe and their strange sense of doing things have brought her into an experience that she would either regret experiencing or look back on as necessary suffering. An alien planet of human-looking people who display power and skills of unique origin. With blasters, air rifles, railguns, flying ships, flying cars, spaceships, teleporters, and enormous rings, she woke to find herself in a world that was foreign to her with all forms of objects that she could only dream of. They continuously went against what she thought to be humanly possible, though I guess that is no longer a valid thought to have, they however have predetermined thoughts about her. The people there despised her existence, they wished for her pain, her suffering, her death... Throughout many years of pain and suffering, she still found a way to come out on top, she found a way to prove her existence ignoring all that was done to her and said about her. Like a bolt of lightning, she came quickly, she came loudly, and she left her presence in the hearts and minds of the people she encountered, for that was what she desired, for however much they wanted her erasure and disappearance she wanted them to be reminded of her presence even more. Blue Paint. Her hair and eyes cultivate the paint that is splattered across the canvas that is her, and the pain she amasses shall be the brush she uses to plaster said paint. At the end of the journey even with the many things, she shall experience on the way her mind will always go back to when she was asked that very simple question. "Hey, do you want to be reincarnated?" *** Extra Tags – Gender-bender, Action, Adventure, War, etc. Chapter length - 1500 - 2700 One chapter a week.

But he's not alone. Others have heard the Seal’s call. And not all of them are human. From gangland Seoul to the bloodied soils of forgotten kingdoms, Mujin’s journey is not just about survival.

Right before her wedding, Jian Yan caught her fiancé and stepsister red-handed in an affair. Her fiancé had been nothing but gentle and caring to her over the past three years, and he had brought her out of darkness into light. Yet, the affair was a bolt out of the blue, throwing her into a deep abyss once again. Faced with her stepsister's smugness and her fiancé's condescending explanation, Jian Yan didn’t cry or throw a tantrum, nor did she despair. Instead, she beat up the adulterous couple on the spot. As revenge, Jian Yan married her ex-fiancé’s brother, a man rumored to be handsome and powerful but distant from women. He was cold by nature and had no interest in romance. Her stepsister was in high spirits and couldn’t wait to see how Jian Yan would be hurt by him. Unexpectedly, the man doted on Jian Yan and even said to her stepsister and his brother, "Call her Sister-in-law!"

"Well, that's just great." Allen Laughed in self mockery. It was pouring outside and his teammates were all still inside but he just wanted to get as far away as possible. After exiting the stadium, he walked for a while before stopping. He just stood there as the rain washed over him, drenching his body.

He wasn't the only one looking forward to it, the whole team was, it was supposed to be their first time in the champions league after so many years. But because of one own goal, that spot was now Chelsea's for the taking. Biting his lower lip, Allen looked up and let out a sigh. "It would be really nice to get struck by lightning right now."

Hours later, Allen woke up at the hospital with an unexpected message in front of him.

Bolt, a nineteen-year-old with distinctive orange hair, finds himself reincarnated as a young boy named Kazuma in a primitive world after reading a mysterious book. Awakening in an unfamiliar house, Kazuma learns the local language and discovers that magic, known as "Essence of Aether," permeates this new world. His family consists of his mother, Lila, and his father, Yoshin. At age five, Kazuma undergoes a ritual revealing his unique skill, "addon," allowing him to acquire and use various skills. Kazuma's sister, Yuri, returns from studying at the royal capital and shares her spellbook, enabling Kazuma to learn numerous spells like "boost," "recollect," and "teleport." He experiments with his abilities, creating an underground base and defeating thugs using "time freeze" and "shadow blast," gaining a new skill, "dread weaving." Yuri warns him to keep his "addon" skill a secret due to its rarity. Kazuma explores a library, learning about different races such as elves, dwarves, sylvari, and Aetherians, and acquires the "invisibility" skill. Contemplating the world's level system, Kazuma realizes his extraordinary potential, setting the stage for future adventures in this magical realm. This is the actual beginning. I actually have a lot of ideas for this story so stick alone.

"The Last Bark of Orion" Bolt isn't your average Siberian Husky. Cruising the cosmos aboard the freighter Wanderlust with his pragmatic human captain, Eva Rostova, he’s a wisecracking, genetically-enhanced canine with the ability to talk and senses that reach beyond human understanding. His life, already extraordinary, catapults into the heart of an ancient galactic war when a mysterious signal from the Orion constellation awakens dormant ancestral memories within him—terrifying echoes of an eons-old conflict between star-faring Canid and Felid empires, both engineered by a vanished, god-like race known as the Progenitors. Plunged into a universe of intrigue and escalating danger, Bolt and Eva discover the truth behind the legends. The "Heart of Orion," a colossal and fractured Progenitor power source, pulses with unimaginable energy—a force that ruthless factions from both Canid and Felid empires now desperately seek to control, believing it the ultimate weapon. They see Bolt, with his unique Progenitor-linked "seed of hope" granting him profound empathy and a unique connection to the Heart, as the unwilling key to taming and wielding its devastating might. Hunted across the stars by formidable warlords who misunderstand the cryptic prophecy of "The Last Bark of Orion" as a command for conquest, Bolt is caught between warring ideologies. As he grapples with the terrifying allure of the power the Heart offers and the immense pressure to choose a side, his "First Echoes"—shared, agonizing memories from both sides of the conflict—pull him towards a different path. He begins to suspect that the "Last Bark" isn't a call to arms, but a complex, misunderstood Progenitor failsafe designed not to empower a victor, but to heal the fractured Heart and perhaps the galaxy itself. With Eva as his anchor, Bolt must navigate treacherous alliances and deadly confrontations, racing against time to understand the true nature of the Last Bark before the Heart of Orion is unleashed as a doomsday weapon. His choice will determine not only his own fate but whether the galaxy succumbs to an even greater cataclysm or takes its first fragile step towards a new dawn, founded on understanding rather than endless war.

Laughter, cackles, birdsong, the sweet scent of the ocean—peaceful moments at the beach were suddenly shattered by screams of terror. “Run for your lives!!” a man cried, his feet barely touching the ground as he bolted in fear. Chaos erupted. People scattered in every direction as a towering figure emerged from thin air, cloaked in writhing shadows. Hundreds of them—dark, hungry entities—descended upon the beach, swallowing innocent humans whole. He’s back. Belphegor—once human, now a Demon of terrifying power. He walks unnoticed among mortals, shifting his form at will. No one knows who he is until it’s too late. Deceptive. Deadly. Demonic. ••••••• Long ago in Vhinlox Ville, humans lived in peace. Until greed and desperation led some to sell their souls to Hell in exchange for their deepest desires. In death, they returned as Demons—ruthless, power-hungry creatures bent on domination. The chaos spread, engulfing both the Mortal and Immortal realms. Not even the Immortals could stop them. Then, one of the greatest deities made the ultimate sacrifice—her life in exchange for peace. And for years, peace reigned. Until now. The Demons have returned—stronger, more vicious than ever. Even the Immortals are powerless against them. But hope comes in the form of an unlikely savior... Emma Edswald—a stubborn, wild-hearted teenage human girl from Vhinlox Ville. Curious, imaginative, headstrong, and just a little reckless. To the world, she’s just an ordinary high schooler with a big imagination. Until everything changes. She wakes up in a world not her own—a realm of Immortals, magic, and ancient prophecies. And there, she’s told the impossible: She’s the one destined to defeat the Demons. But how can a powerless mortal fight creatures even Immortals fear? What will she do when love and destiny collide? And what happens when the only way to save the world… is to destroy the one person she should never harm? The fate of two worlds rests in her hands.
