Common Themes In Stephen King

Chen Feng didn't ask to be immortal, and he definitely didn't ask to be trapped in a massive, possibly sentient, cave. But after a one-way trip down a cliff face, that's exactly where he finds himself. Now, he's got to learn the rules of this new, underground world – rules that seem to involve a lot of glowing rocks, surprisingly potent fruit, and a pond that feels suspiciously like liquid energy. He's not a hero, not a cultivator, and certainly not a fan of damp, dark places. But with an eternity stretching before him, Chen Feng decides to make the best of it. He'll build, he'll explore, and he'll maybe even accidentally stumble upon the secrets of true power, all while trying very hard not to die (again). This is his story, a reluctant immortal's guide to surviving – and thriving – in the most unexpected of places. --- Slow at the start but picks up the pace later on.

This is the story of a king born from rags, a king that leads to people to fight for what they believe in, the crusader king.

As if it wasn’t enough to be hit on the head by my co-workers and boyfriend, I died at the hands of my gambling-addict older brother. Without even regretting my unfortunate death, I realized that I had possessed a supporting role in a romantic fantasy novel, which I just read yesterday. To be precise, a villainess destined to die at the hands of her husband. I know it’s cliché! ‘Possessed a villainess in a romantic fantasy novel! So this is what it feels like?’ I thought it was pretty good for the price of my unfair death. Until I realize that no matter what I do, I can’t deviate from the flow of the original. For the female lead Rizé, it’s a delightful cider series, but it’s nothing more of a bloody story for Edith, the villainess I possessed. I am the protagonist in my life. If I’m going to die according to the original story, I should at least kiss my super handsome husband! In the original story, Edith is greatly despised by her husband, but who cares, I’m going to die anyway. However… “You pretended not to be, but now you’re so hot to play with. Well, that’s good.” “Yes…?” “Satisfy me like Rigelhof’s serpent. Well, who knows? I might be interested in that body of yours.” …why is the original story starting to change now? ***** P/s: The cover are not mine. It’s from original author. Don’t use it without permission.

Overnight, the world's common sense changed. But then... "It's common sense that erect penises are cared for with wet pussies, right?" "Customer, shall I milk it for you? Or would you like to milk it yourself?" "We promised when we were young! That I'd become your ona**le!" This is more enjoyable than I thought? Harem | Erotic | Incest

Karl, a young man stuck in a rough patch after losing his job and burning through almost all his savings, wandered through the cold, dark streets of Eldoria. On the damp, silent sidewalks, he stumbled upon something bizarre: an old gacha machine mysteriously appearing at every corner he turned, almost as if it was following him. Driven by a mix of curiosity and the overwhelming weirdness of the situation, Karl finally gave in and used his last bit of money on the machine. From the gacha ball, he pulled out a card with a barcode. Back in his cramped apartment, curiosity finally won over caution, and Karl scanned the barcode. To his shock, an app called "Common Sense Manipulation App" installed itself on his phone, claiming it could alter people's "common sense." ------ Support Me By Gifts or Power Stones -----

My name is Shay. Just Shay. Every morning at five, I kick off my day like anyone else—cereal, eggs, or toast. Then comes the routine brushing session where I make it a point to avoid eye contact with the damn bogey in the mirror. Typical, right? I’ve got a roommate—a werewolf. We’re best friends and classmates, tackling school like it’s any normal day. After classes, I head to my job as a bartender at a nearby pub. It’s a cozy spot, where apart from your regular humans, other creatures also get together for a drink. Yep, vampires and shapeshifters have their pint nights too. Aside from these quirks, my life was relatively normal — until everything turned upside down. The peacefulness of the night seems to be over, the Fifth King is preparing for war — perhaps for world domination —, and common sense has evaporated somewhere along the way. Life was pretty standard, aside from the supernatural quirks, until it wasn’t. The peace of the night shattered, the Fifth King is gearing up for war—or maybe world domination—and somewhere along the way, logic took a vacation. Now, here I am, smack in the middle of this glorious mess, trying to figure out how I went from a normal guy to being tangled in what feels like the prelude to a world-ending saga.

Cedric Valerian, the youngest son of King Alaric, is an outcast in his own family. Born to a disgraced noblewoman and despised by his ambitious siblings, he is seen as nothing more than a half-blood prince with no claim to the throne. But Cedric is no ordinary noble—he is the reincarnation of a modern-day civil servant, armed with knowledge and ideals far ahead of his time. When Cedric is sent to the prestigious Royal Academy, he sees it as an opportunity to prove his worth. But the academy is a battlefield of politics, intrigue, and betrayal, where his siblings—Edmund, the ruthless crown prince; Selene, the cunning diplomat; and Roland, the hotheaded warrior—are determined to see him fail. With the help of a band of unlikely allies—Lysandra, a brilliant economist; Tristan, a disgraced knight; Garrett, a skilled craftsman; and Seraphina, a mysterious noblewoman with secrets of her own—Cedric begins to uncover the truth about his mother’s legacy. Hidden beneath the academy lies a workshop filled with revolutionary inventions, blueprints for a future that could lift the kingdom out of poverty and oppression. But the path to change is fraught with danger. The Shadow Council, a secretive faction within the court, will stop at nothing to maintain their grip on power. As Cedric and his allies work to bring his mother’s vision to life, they must navigate a web of lies, sabotage, and assassination attempts. From the halls of the academy to the desolate barony of Ashenfell, Cedric will face trials that test his resolve, his ingenuity, and his humanity.

In the year 3147 the Roman Imperium had finally achieved its goal of colonizing its own corner of the galaxy. Unlike in our own world the Rome of this one never fell, but instead grew to encompass the whole of the earth, and overtime spread itself, and humanity, among the stars. Yet even with the marvelous advancements in technology, healthcare, welfare, and every other category required for a thriving society. There is still one roman tradition that refuses to die. GLADIATORS!! And we should all be glad for it, because during the year 3149, just two years after the long and exhausting colonization campaigns were ended, mankind learned that it was not alone in the galaxy, let alone the universe. It had just stepped onto a much bigger stage where entire planets and even star systems were used as bargaining chips in universal gladiator games. Wars on a galactic scale are far too destructive to simply be allowed, if left unchecked the vast majority of life in the universe would cease to be. Therefore each race recognized by the galactic or universal council (it changes depending on the scale of the race itself) must submit champions or gladiators to represent them in the games. The winners gain unfathomable rewards, the losers perish or worse have their entire species enslaved. Please join our hero as he embarks upon his own perilous journey as a lanista, will he rise above the masses, or fall like so many others before him? Or perhaps his own latent gifts may bring him to a height, or depth hitherto unexplored by any before.
