Joshua has no idea what just happened. One second, his papa kissed him goodnight... and the next, he woke up in a glowing blue space, staring at a talking cat in a necktie. “You must rescue your papa,” the cat said seriously. Turns out, Joshua’s "silly" papa is in danger across multiple worlds—and only Joshua can save him! Determined, Joshua clenches his tiny fists and raises his chubby arms high: the mission to rescue papa begins! But Joshua didn’t expect bonus prizes along the way... “Why are you following me?” Joshua frowns at the red snake wrapped around his leg. In the blink of an eye, the snake turns into a boy a head taller than Joshua, throws his arms around him, and grins: “Come to the underworld with me! We have cake!” Joshua won’t be tricked so easily... but maybe he can eat the cake first then leave. That’s fair, right? . . . Alternate Title: “From an Egg to a Hero – I Beat Up All the Baddies to Protect My Poor Papa!” Note: Papa has no love interest. No weird pairings. Just one overprotective papa who adores his son—and a whole world that does too. This is a sweet, healing story filled with love and adventure.

But when his birthday comes, everything changes. His body feels stronger, his senses sharper, and women—especially the ones around him—start acting strangely, drawn to him in ways he doesn’t understand. Then, the truth hits him—he’s not human. He carries the Incubus Bloodline, the rare male counterpart to a succubus. And his adoptive family? They’re not just powerful superhumans. His adoptive mom, Lilith Nocturne, is the Succubus Queen, and his three stunning stepsisters are Succubus Princesses—rulers of an entire fantasy planet. But here’s the strangest part—they don’t know what he really is. As Ethan struggles to make sense of his new reality, he learns that the world’s superpowers aren’t as simple as people believe. Fantasy creatures—elves, vampires, dragonkin, and more—aren’t just myths. They’re real. And they’ve been living in secret among humans. Now, they’re appearing in his life, drawn to him for reasons he can’t explain. His bloodline, his awakening, and the system guiding him—it’s all connected to something much bigger. Why have these races stayed hidden for so long? What is the real truth behind superpowers? And why does he feel like his very existence is meant to change everything? With a system pushing him toward his incubus instincts, powerful women from all over the world—and beyond—falling into his orbit, and forces in the shadows watching his every move, Ethan has two choices—fight it or embrace it. But one thing is clear—his life will never be the same again. ….. No NTR .....

She doesn’t want to be seen. After years of silence, scars, and secrets, she’s learned how to disappear in plain sight. Moving to Russia as an STA student was supposed to be her fresh start—a cold city, a quiet life, no attachments. She keeps her distance, her walls high, and her past buried deep.

She says she hates him. He says he doesn't care. Because he’s not the hero. He’s the obsession that crosses every line. And he won’t stop until she’s his—mind, body, soul. Even if it destroys them both.

Mia Izabelle never asked for a second chance—especially not in the body of a villainess. At thirty, Mia awakens in the world of a tragic novel, inhabiting the body of the infamous younger daughter of a powerful tycoon family. Known for her cruelty and arrogance, the original "Mia" was loathed by all—her four older brothers, her ex-fiancé, and the very world that once revolved around her. With one catastrophic mistake looming that could ruin her family's name forever, the new Mia is determined to right the wrongs and change her fate. But redemption doesn’t come easy. Haunted by the original Mia’s past, Mia faces hatred, suspicion, and betrayal from those who should have loved her most. Her domineering CEO first brother, Martin, despises her for firing the woman he once loved. Matteo, the cold and brilliant neurosurgeon, secretly poisons her, believing she caused the death of his girlfriend. Mikael, the unforgiving ex-soldier turned police officer, throws her into jail on false charges. And Mike—her beloved twin—turns away from her in favor of Lilianna, the "real" daughter who reappears like a vision of grace and perfection. As Mia endures poverty, isolation, and heartbreak, even the men who once held pieces of her heart betray her: -An ex-fiancé who loathe her down to the core. -A childhood friend whose love curdled into resentment. -A neighbor brother and secret crush who left her for his white moonlight. -And the male lead who woos her with sweet lies while plotting with Lilianna behind her back. When she is falsely accused of attempting to harm Lilianna and is nearly sent to prison, her family seals her fate—disowning her and abandoning her to suffer alone. Sick, weak, and slowly dying from poison, Mia collapses in a cold, forgotten room, whispering a prayer no one hears. Until it’s too late. Only when her body begins to fail do the brothers and former lovers uncover the truth. The lies. The betrayals. The manipulations. And their guilt becomes a sentence none of them can escape. But can a heart still learn to beat again after it’s been shattered? Lemon Mulberry is a powerful tale of second chances, unbearable loss, and the fragile hope that lingers even in the darkest moments. For readers who crave redemption arcs that sting, betrayals that scar, and heroines who burn before they bloom—this story will stay with you long after the final page.

Karam knows something, something that the USA is after, Russia is after, otherworldly entities beyond humans are after. He found out something that he shouldn't have, something that made him important, and in danger. A secret kept from people, a secret involving aliens, the supernatural, hell, heaven, god, devil, and a hidden side of government and superpowers running under the nose of ordinary people for centuries. A secret that's answer to all unanswered questions, all mysteries, everything. Something way beyond the understanding of the normal, a system of the unexplained. He found that secret, for it had stolen someone he loved.

In 2025, the mysterious “Virus Z” appeared in the Russian city of Sevastopol, transforming citizens into ravenous zombies. What was first thought to be a simple epidemic quickly revealed itself to be the most threatening pandemic in human history. Confident at first that they could stop this new pandemic, the world's governments failed to grasp the scale of the threat. As a result, China and Korea were among the first to fall. Then India, then Russia, until the whole Asian continent had collapsed. With no army able to stop the zombie tide, all of Afro-Eurasia succumbed and became a massive uninhabitable zone. In the end, only nature's impassable borders—the oceans—halted the spread of Virus Z. Ten years later, the world is divided into two zones: the forbidden Black Zone, where the infection is still present, and the White Zone, home to the world's survivors and refugees. The White Zone survives only due to Dr. Goldberg's “Genesis Project”—the creation of living biological weapons immune to Virus Z. These people, whose DNA has been modified to make them super-powerful, are known to the world as “Hunters." Follow the story of Alexandre, a young American of modest origins and appearance, who becomes a novice Hunter and joins the most brutal and mysterious training ground imaginable—Hunter Academy! ------------------------------------------- Tag : Action, Adventure, System, Cultivation,SuperPower, School, Gore, WeakToStrong, Apocalypse. ///Zombie Survival System stakes inspiration from movies and video games like "World War Z" and the Fallout series.

Jason Adams died forty years after the world changed. He didn't awaken powers but survived while crawling in the mud, hiding from monsters and awakeners alike—those who don't have power become the slaves of those who do have powers. But at the end of his life, he was blessed with a do-over, able to go back in time five years before the world changed to build a harem that would be fanatically loyal to him—the Fluid system- binding women to him in return for making them Awaken and become stronger. Be warned, it's an R-18 smut harem with a lot of lemons. (Taboo.) This is a re-upload, as someone thought my first go-around was too spicy. So it will take me some time to unspicify it some for the weak masses.

He died a forgotten man in a collapsing world — a historian, economist, and engineer caught in a final war of nations. But fate had a different path for him. Reborn in 1825 as Mikhail Alexeyevich Romanov, the illegitimate son of a disgraced noble, he awakens in a fragile empire on the brink of revolution. Russia is vast but fractured, rich but undeveloped, feared yet foolishly behind. The Decembrist Uprising is days away. Europe sharpens its knives. The future looks grim. But Mikhail carries a secret — a lifetime of 21st-century knowledge, and a binding interface known as the Sovereign Protocol System. Steel. Oil. Knowledge. Wealth. To survive, Mikhail must forge Russia into a new beast: a scientific empire, a military titan, a financial juggernaut, and an energy-drenched superpower. Reincarnated to rule. Bound to uplift. Destined to conquer. A future forged in iron begins here.

"From a botanical perspective, your mom is undeniably a total slut." Jialong shrugged and said nonchalantly. I brought the lemon tea to my lips and took a sip without any expression. If you think my next move was to throw the entire cup of lemon tea in Jialong’s face, you’d be wrong. Because what Jialong said was the unvarnished truth—pure and without a hint of exaggeration. No matter which academic discipline you examine it from, my mother, Meng Xi, 36 years old, is a woman steeped in debauchery to her very core. As Da Jun, who enjoys simultaneously taking her from behind while forcing her to sing "Conquer," once said, "Your mom’s brazenness is downright otherworldly."

When a brilliant but unfulfilled 21st-century mind is thrust into the past, he awakens in the body of an 18-year-old, destitute baron on the fringes of the vast Russian Empire. It is the 1890s, a gilded age on the brink of catastrophic collapse. While he inherits the local memories and customs of his new life, he retains his own formidable intellect and, most critically, a precise knowledge of the wars, revolutions, and political shifts that are set to fracture the empire and plunge it into chaos. His provincial estate becomes the foundation for a much larger game: the subtle infiltration of the imperial court. Wealth and political favor become his weapons as he cultivates allies among the ambitious and systematically dismantles the influence of his rivals. Every investment and introduction is a deliberate chess move, part of a patient, calculated coup designed to ultimately checkmate the throne. Should he succeed in claiming the crown, he would unleash a quiet revolution from the top down. Knowledge of future breakthroughs will allow him to supercharge Russia's industry and sciences. He will reform the military entirely, building a force guided by doctrines that have yet to be conceived in this era, let alone countered. But this national transformation is merely the means to an end. He is not just trying to avoid the storm of war and revolution he remembers from his history books; he is driven to seize that chaotic future and bend it to his will, ensuring that when the dust of the 20th century settles, it is the Russian Empire that stands alone as the world's master.
