Fang Yuan, once the revered Patriarch of the Golden Blossom Sect, perished in the Second Cultivator War, torn apart by the Heavenly Demon himself. Two thousand years later, he awakens—not in the spiritual heavens, but in a steel-and-neon city where cultivators no longer absorb the essence of nature... In this world of towering holograms and cold laboratories, strength is no longer earned through enlightenment but stolen—by harvesting the spiritual cores of other cultivators and devouring them to rise in power. What was once considered a taboo has become the norm. Corporations run sects like factories. Human life is currency. But Fang Yuan remembers the Dao. With nothing but a relic of his former power pulsing faintly within his reborn body, he must start from zero, disguise himself among the monsters, and rebuild the forgotten path of cultivation—before the return of an ancient evil that now wears a new face.

In the early 1900s, in a small riverside town in southern China, young Li Wei lives a life shaped by loss and sacrifice. After his father died deep in the coal mines, his family splintered under the weight of poverty and grief. His sister was sent far away to work in the next two towns, where she spends her days bathing swine and caring for the pigs — a harsh, thankless job that keeps her from home and family. Now, Li Wei is left alone to care for their sickly mother, who lies in a small, damp clinic bed, her breath thin and her body growing weaker each day. He works at the docks, hauling crates and heavy sacks until his back aches and his hands split open. Every coin he earns is spent on his mother’s medicine, leaving him hungry and worn. When he hears of a sugar cane factory that pays well enough to change his fate, a spark of hope flickers in his heart. But the factory is far away, and workers must live on-site for months at a time. Li Wei can’t bring himself to leave his mother alone, fearing she might not survive a single night without him. Every evening, he returns to her side, washing her face, feeding her watery soup, and whispering stories of better days that he doesn’t truly believe in. Each night, when the world is quiet and only the sound of crickets fills the air, he cries softly into his pillow, wondering if he will ever escape this endless struggle. He is haunted by the memory of his father’s sacrifice and his sister’s absence among the pigs. Guilt and desperation gnaw at his spirit, leaving him to wonder if his family is cursed to suffer forever. Then, one day, everything changes. He meets Mei Lin, the daughter of Master Chen, a powerful and feared merchant. In Mei Lin’s eyes, Li Wei sees a softness and a strength he has never known. She listens to his pain without judgment and sees the kindness and courage hidden beneath his worn-out shell. As they grow closer, Li Wei dares to believe that maybe — just maybe — his fate is not sealed. But to reach for a new life, he must face impossible choices and risks. Can he save his mother and reunite his family? Or will love and hope demand more from him than he has left to give?

I see that I have reincarnated into a game world. This cultivation world is dangerous, so I shall install a max status attribute mod. The cost of living is expensive, so I shall install an infinite gold mod. Treasures and artifacts are scarce, so I shall install an item duplication mod. No alchemist is selling heaven-grade pills, so I shall install a pill factory mod. Someone said money doesn't grow on a tree, but my 4th-dimension farms grow spirit stones. Game protagonists are ruining countries and sects, so I shall install a protagonist-hunting mod. What game mods or systems should I install next? Oh, right, I forgot. I need to rescue poor villainesses and heroines from those vile protagonists. Please excuse this villain.

In order to protect her, the foster brother went to the countryside to become an educated youth and ended up dying at the farm. She could have worked at the factory as a worker, but because she coveted the affection of her biological parents, she replaced her biological brother as an educated youth and stayed at the farm for a lifetime, truly becoming the rural woman that her real sister looked down upon. Although later she became a village doctor through her own efforts, she still worked to exhaustion and eventually died on this land. Now Jiang Xiaoxiao has been reborn and returned with a space... This time, how will she live an exciting life. ......... This story is set in a fictional world, research enthusiasts please refrain from entering.

Shen Meng is a factory worker who encountered a car accident while delivering a contract to a business partner. While she was bedridden and suffering alone, she suddenly discovered a spatial power. Before she could be happy for two days, the side effects of the space emerged, causing her to have strange dreams almost every night. Realizing the situation quickly, Shen Meng hurriedly sold her house and car and started hoarding supplies frantically in case she ended up in a place lacking food and clothing, fearing she might starve to death. While she was once again on her way to stock up, another car accident occurred. When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated into a period novel as a vicious supporting role doomed to a tragic end for opposing the female protagonist Jinli. Not only was her own reputation destroyed, ending in an accidental tragic death, but her four children also became extreme due to lack of guidance and frequent childhood abuse, resulting in psychological issues leading to tragic fates. Moreover, the man, who had been a soldier contributing to the country, was ambushed and hit on the back of the head, becoming mentally impaired forever, and he drowned in the river during winter while holding the clothes they married in. To change her destiny, Shen Meng had to redeem her reputation and guide the children towards good as they were descendants of a hero, and she couldn't stand watching them fall. Occupying the original body's identity, Shen Meng decided to be filial to the elderly, take care of the children, and lead the whole family towards a prosperous path. Just that the man, who always protected the country and had a lukewarm relationship with her, seemed to look at her increasingly passionately.

Shihab is an average guy who dropped out of high school after his father left his family. He did so to support his younger siblings and his sick mother. One day, after his boss forced him to work extra hours, he was attacked by zombies. He escaped from the factory and jumped from roof to roof to survive, but he eventually fell and broke his leg. Surrounded by zombies and desperate, he made a last wish: to survive and reunite with his family. Suddenly, a system screen flashed before him and gave him a choice: to survive and become a hunter, or to reject the offer and die."

You wanna hear about me? Really? Well, I'll do my best. My name is Osidious Vanir, and I was just your average, factory working, video game playing bum. Honestly, I wasn't going anywhere in my life. Not that things were bad, just boring. Unfulfilling to say the least. However, one day, our quality inspector, Elizabeth, asked me to meet her and other people "like us" at an undisclosed meet up location. She was fairly new, and yeah, I've had a crush on this beautiful woman ever since she started. I would have never imagined that single choice would change my life forever. Can I keep living the life I had, or will I have to abandon it all and figure out exactly who, or what, I am? To my surprise, and with no complaints from me, I won't be alone, as I have drawn the attention and adoration of two wonderful women. Just a side note, if you don't like an overpowered main character, sappy love, or highly detailed sexual activity, I don't think my story is for you. I don't pull any punches, so you better strap in. If that sounds good to you, then I hope you enjoy the wild escapades of my "Ordinary" life, which is quickly becoming anything but that. Author's Note: I write for fun, and as such, when I'm not feeling it, sometimes there will be some discrepancy in my uploads. If anyone by some miracle actually enjoys my weird ass story, I appreciate it and I apologize for any indescrepincies. I only upload when the creative juices are flowing. I apologize for any spelling and grammatical errors you may experience, and I welcome anyone reading to point them out. I write everything by myself, and I'm kind of an idiot, so I miss things. I am still writing this book, but I have been going back and editing certain things to make the story both easier to read and make more sense. My scattered brain often misses and forgets stuff without me even noticing. I hope that dispite all of this, I can bring a decent enough story for people to enjoy. I am writing this story for no other reason than I want to, as I have a story I wish to tell. If you are here for it, I thank you. Think of this story as a rough draft, but also the story I wish to tell. I will occasionally add and edit things in to previous chapters for things to make more sense, to add context, or to further build the world/ characters. I hope to release this as a book one day, and even if I don't, at least I had fun writing it.

Welcome to NecroCorp – Where War is Always in Stock! "Now with 15% off main battle tanks, because peace is bad for business." Hello, traveler! Looking for a bone-forged sword? A modular mana cannon? Perhaps... a discounted main battle tank for your next kingdom raid? Oh wait, you're not a customer, you're a reader. Right. This is probably where I give you my "tragic backstory." Fine. I used to be human. Then I died. Now I'm a Lich with a factory in a dead dungeon, a skeleton workforce that doesn't need lunch breaks, salaries, and a magical system that rewards me for selling stuff. So, I did what any sane undead would do: I started an arms corporation. Now I sell weapons to orcs, goblins, elves, humans, anyone with a grudge and a pile of magic stones. Need siege engines? Got 'em. Crossbows that reload themselves? Yup. Flamethrower golems? In development. But here's the trick: you can’t sell weapons if there’s no war. So when the world started calming down... well, I may have encouraged a few border skirmishes. For marketing purposes. Nothing personal. War drives demand, after all. So, if you're here for drama, explosions, undead capitalism, and morally questionable business strategies wrapped in bone and steel, you’ve come to the right dungeon. Just don’t ask about the warranty. There isn’t one that lived to tell and ask about it.

#DARK ROMANCE Lin Yueyao spent five years of her youth married to Shen Xiao, a man whose heart was as cold as steel. She believed that her gentleness would eventually melt his indifference, but the only thing that melted was her own dignity. Every night, she endured his cruel touch, his words like blades, and his silent disgust. But no matter how much it hurt, Yueyao clung on – for the sake of their son, Xuanxuan, and for the sliver of hope that someday he might see her. That hope shattered completely when his first love, Bai Zhi, returned from abroad. The very night Bai Zhi came back, Shen Xiao left Yueyao alone to dine with her. His gaze, once cold and dismissive, turned tender only for Bai Zhi. Then, just as Yueyao discovered she was pregnant again, Shen Xiao handed her divorce papers. Abandoned while carrying his child, betrayed by her husband, and discarded like a stain on his life, Yueyao’s world collapsed. Even their son, Xuanxuan – the little boy she’d nearly died giving birth to, the one she raised with unwavering devotion – rejected her, clinging instead to Bai Zhi with innocent adoration. But fate was crueler still. Kidnapped straight from her hospital bed by men demanding ransom, Yueyao realised no one was coming to save her. Her husband hadn’t even noticed she was missing. As she lay in that abandoned factory, trembling in pain, all illusions crumbled. She was done waiting for love from a man who treated her like dirt. This time, she would save herself. And when she returned, it wouldn’t be as the pitiful Mrs. Shen, but as a woman reborn from ashes – with a heart no longer beating for Shen Xiao. But will he realise her worth only when it’s too late?

Check SUBMIT OR SUCCUMB is my another ongoing work. Front Page is "PRISTINE GYGXZ'KANDER". (Chapter 273→) "The world of Leathemnur is dangerous, yet, there is beauty in the chaos if you learn how to appreciate it". That is what Khallyon Cravemeneer always thought, until he learned how easy he could lose everything he had acquired across most of his life. What can a Mortal do in the face of actual absolute power?. What can anyone do to prevail before Time? Nothing. That is the cruel, raw reality. And as most people, Khallyon was oblivious of events occurring literally before his eyes. This went on, until he accidentally started to uncover the truth. Believing he had acquired a way to protect what matters the most, Memories, which is what makes everyone the person they become. Unbeknown to Khallyon, he was delving deeper into despair, rather than going out of it. NO CHEATS NO PLOT ARMOR NO VANILLA EASY LIFE DON'T GET FOOLED BY THE START OR THE SLOW PROGRESS READ UNTIL CHAPTER 51 A FAIR SHARE OF: ACTION BEAUTIES MYSTERIES A WHOLE LOT OF: SMUT BONDING INDECENCY COMMENT FOR: KINKS DOUBTS SUGGESTIONS Additional Information: I would publish TWO Chapters a Day. English is not my first language, that is why, any mistake I made across the story, feel free to point it out for me to correct it as soon as possible. (This is the old synopsis Read it if you want to know more about the general context) The "Imperishable", Entities Above Everything Else, understood this undeniable truth eons ago, gifting to the Mortals a few tools to overcome the challenges across their lives. With this, amusing their own boring existences, looking with enthusiasm what new story could unfold, or if the same mistakes would be done once again but by a different person. The First Gift, is "Shards", called "Cards" by some, this otorgue instant rewards when you exchange them in an "Imperishable Monolith". The Second Gift, is the mentioned structure, capable of craft almost anything if you have the recipe, blueprint and the required materials and ingredients, a true aberration depending on who you ask. The Third Gift, is the "Perennence", with a 100 you won't Die if you are slain, you simply would "Respawn" in a "Memory Hall", making you partially Immortal, because as long as you have 1 of Perennence, you wouldn't be really dead, and someone else can "Revive" you by providing the missing resource. However, this comes with a drawback, you become a "Servant" of the person or thing that save your life, at least until you repay the Perennence plus an Interest of 50%. The Fourth Gift, is "The Memory Hall", unfortunately, they had an evil twin, "The Howling Wall", which are created in places that had seen too many "Take Downs" in a short span of time; Differently to the prodigal twin, you must have a minimum of 25 Perennence to be Respawned, otherwise, at best, you become an Immaterial entity, similar to a ghost, if not, a mindless beast or a simple Drone for a Hive Mind is not far fetched. Lastly, The Fifth Gift, is divided in three concepts, "Repercussion", "Traits" and "Work", being the last, one of the most unfair of all the Gifts, as you can't change your Work under any circumstances, which applies even for "The Imperishable". But the Gifts don't come for free, as they attract a series of weird creatures from unknown Invasive Territories, sprouting the so called "Graveyards", "Factories", "Hives", "Nests", "Lairs", "Crops" and "Farms" across the entire world of "Leathemnur".

Imagine Poppy Playtime, but instead of focusing only the adventure on the factory, you discover the aftermath of the game, and all mascots survive. No evil CEO, scientists, and all corrupted and noncorrupted mascots lived. Now, imagine if they get a second chance to live a human life again with the one they lost. Imagine living as someone who you wasn't supposed to be. Then add the Boys kind of experiments inside of it. Yes, there's a superpower drug involved. Picture in case you need the idea of said character.

Yan Zhen is straight, he believes he is straight, he swears he is straight !! you should really trust him he is straight.. He has never slept with a woman, but he has never slept with a man either that means by default and by factory setting he is a straight man right ?? That is until Lin Chen walked through the door of his company and Yan Zhen is sure Lin Chen is the Devil trying to stray him away from the light and is infact here for the sole goal of *Seducing Him*.

All I wanted to do was draw. I’m Eli Walker. Quiet. Awkward. Invisible to most people—except my best friend Jay, a loudmouth pervert with zero shame. My life was simple: go to school, avoid attention, and sketch the world around me. Until Valentine’s Day. That’s when three girls confessed to me at the same time—each holding chocolate... and each having somehow seen my secret sketches of them. Now, I’m stuck in a whirlwind of stolen glances, jealous standoffs, love letters, and accidental fanservice—while Jay cheers me on like this is some kind of anime. The worst part? More girls keep falling for me. And all I did was draw. I didn’t mean to build a light harem. But my pencil might have other plans.

When high schooler Kenji Tanaka gets summoned to another world with his entire class, everyone gets amazing powers like Fire Magic and Ultimate Analysis. Kenji gets "Minor Environmental Adjustment," which sounds about as useful as a chocolate teapot. While his classmates receive royal treatment and epic training montages, Kenji gets thrown into fantasy prison for "character building." This is the story of the least motivated hero ever, who defeats problems through sheer audacity, weaponized politeness, and the power of asking, "But why though?" and maybe being overpowered. He's not here to save the world or get revenge—he just wants to figure out what's going on and maybe learn to cook something other than instant ramen.

Two years. Two months. Then the world ends. Hiro wasn’t chosen. He wasn’t a hero, a genius, or someone special. He worked at a factory. He watched TV with his sister. He lived quiet. Then the system activated.

Riku Kazehaya just wanted a quiet life at his new high school in Kamakura. No drama, no attention—just clean air, late-night jogs, and maybe a vending machine chocolate milk after class. But on Day One, things go off-script: Not only is he seated next to a beautiful gyaru with a sharp tongue and sharper stare—Aika Hoshino—but he also finds out that she’s his new roommate. Courtesy of their scheming dads’ “cozy little arrangement.” Now living under the same roof, with bandages on his fists and secrets under his sleeves, Riku tries to keep his real self boxed away. After all, no one at school knows he’s a boxing prodigy who dropped out of the spotlight. But Aika? She's not so easy to keep out. Gym rat by passion, chaotic by nature, and way too pretty to ignore—she’s got her own questions about this mysterious new guy with tired eyes and a body built like a fighter. Love wasn’t part of the plan. But some feelings don’t stay boxed for long.

In a world where magic and machines are the twin engines of empire, power is everything—and those without it are left to rot. Raden Sora is a ten-year-old street kid surviving in the soot-choked ghettos of Kadiean’s Northern Reaches. With factories belching smoke, snow turned to sludge, and the constant threat of starvation, Raden’s only hope lies in the empire’s mandatory magic assessment—a single chance to rise from filth to fortune. Alongside his best friend, the bold and reckless Jay Racker, Raden dreams of escape, of clean clothes, warm food, and maybe, just maybe, a life beyond the alleys and ash. But when the assessment reveals a dangerous potential buried deep within him, Raden is thrust into a world of ruthless training, political manipulation, and war. Recruited into the Mage Breakers—an elite force tasked with hunting rogue mages who defy imperial rule—Raden must learn to wield power without losing himself to it. Because in a land where magic serves the machine, and loyalty is bought with blood, becoming a weapon might be the only way to survive. A gritty coming-of-age fantasy filled with smoke, steel, and sorcery, Mage Breaker is the story of a boy who rose from the gutter to stand against the very system that created him.

Set against the backdrop of a Europe torn apart by the Great War, The Iron Strategist of 1914 follows Emil Kranze, a shrewd industrialist and strategist who rises to prominence by building a sprawling war production empire. But while bullets and steel shape the battlefield, Emil soon discovers that the greatest threats come not from enemy trenches but from within his own city. As his factories churn out munitions and supplies, a shadow war unfolds—conspiracies and betrayals by rival industrial factions, corrupt politicians, and underground agitators threaten to undermine the entire war effort. Emil must navigate a complex web of espionage, sabotage, and political intrigue while managing the delicate alliances with labor unions and the working class. With the loyalty of workers wavering amid strikes, sabotage, and growing unrest, Emil forms uneasy partnerships with union leaders like Markus Brandt, seeking to rebuild trust through reform and transparency. Meanwhile, Helena Voss, his trusted intelligence chief, works tirelessly to root out traitors and dismantle clandestine networks intent on seizing control. Throughout these turbulent times, Emil faces not only physical battles but the unseen fight for the city’s soul—balancing power, loyalty, and sacrifice in a city on the brink of rebellion. His leadership, resolve, and strategic acumen will be tested as he strives to hold the line between order and chaos, survival and destruction. The Iron Strategist of 1914 is a gripping tale of war, industry, and human resilience, weaving together political drama and personal sacrifice amid one of history’s most tumultuous eras.

In an era of steam and machinery a world teetering on the edge of progress and horror, a new breed of predator stalks the streets. Once human, these cursed vile beings mutate into monstrous hybrids of man and beast, driven by an insatiable hunger for human flesh and madness. Their existence is a secret, whispered about in the smoke filled alleys and factory floors, where missing persons posters fade into the grime of the many cities around Europe. As the threat grows, a secret group of guardians forms in the shadows. Their mission: eliminate the monsters, protect the innocent, and keep the truth buried. To the public. Behind the smoke and steel of progress, a hidden war rages one of blood, horror, and sanity slowly slipping away. Who is the prey, who is the hunter who will survive in this god forsaken world.

“Waking up a thousand years in the future, stuck in the body of some weak, mana-mute noble kid? Yeah... definitely not how I imagined my return.” Betrayed by his most beloved disciple, Arkael, the legendary Great Sage of Astia, fell at the peak of his power. However he suddenly awoke a thousand years later as Lucien Renhardt, the scorned, powerless son of a feared duke — and a first-year student at the infamous Velgrin Academy, once a beacon of magical hope, now a factory of elitism, cruelty, and corruption. As Lucien, he will try to reclaim what was lost, uncover the truth behind his betrayal, and defy a world that has forgotten who he was. And along the way, he’ll forge unlikely bonds, challenge those who rule magic… and become the Great Sage once more.

Some crowns are forged in blood. Others are drowned beneath it. In a city strangled by smoke and silence, where children are shackled to machines and shadows rule behind gilded masks, Keiran is just another forgotten soul—until the mark appears. Buried beneath the factory’s foundations lies a world long erased from history. Ancient oaths whisper through stone and water, and something older than memory begins to stir. As Keiran is drawn deeper into the abyss, he uncovers a legacy not meant for mortal hands—a crown shattered in defiance, a flood sealed by sacrifice, and a power that demands a price. Hunted by tyrants, haunted by echoes, and bound to secrets he never asked for, Keiran must choose: drown in the tide of what came before, or rise against the current and reclaim what the world was forced to forget. But the deeper he goes, the more the truth unravels… And beneath it all, something still breathes. [Due to school only able to post 5-6 times a week sorry ;{ ]

But what happens when the plan falls apart? Oliver, Alyssa, Henrietta, Clark, and Jacob weren’t dropped into a war zone or a burning city. No—just miles upon miles of empty, untamed wilderness. No equipment. Systems corrupted. No civilization in sight. And no help coming. To get home, they’ll need what only an entire world can offer. Trouble is, there’s no world to save—yet. Just five stranded strangers, and a simple, impossible solution: Build a Factory

This book is a bit of a slow burn but when it picks up the steam will satisfy the wait. Exerts from the book: *BANG* My ears were ringing, it suddenly got so much colder. Hard to breathe. Next to me mother shrieks in horror looking at my stomach. There’s blood. It was leaking from me. Pain slammed into me, felt like I was hit with a thousand knives. It was so agonizing I tried to brace myself back against the railing. Hard to breathe. I could feel the warmth of my blood dripping from my mouth. Looking down and a dark red color drenched me. Mother on her knees wailing uncontrollably. Detaching my clipped life vest to look at my hole. Blood now smeared my vision as I tried to wipe the red from my eyes. Screams and footsteps echoed loudly in my ears. Then suddenly I’m falling. “Hey now, hey now, fainting at the sight of me are you?” His sensual voice slipped in my ears like smooth milk chocolate. the taste of iron consumed my mouth, hot blood flooded me when I tried to laugh. It hurt. Oh god why did it hurt so bad. Tears drifted down my cheeks the salt leaving a trail of it’s path behind it. “You’re gonna be okay, I promise.” “You found me.” a smile creeped up my face. “I’ll always find you.” The ship began to lift into the air and people began to fall. I blink and then I’m falling. With one breath in I hit the ice cold water. Paralyzed. I couldn’t move. The screams and cries of woman and children pounded with water. Slipping. I was slipping under the violent thrashing waves. The air being sucked from my lungs. I try to open to breathe only got water to rush in instead. I was drowning. I was going to die. Gasping for air only to swallow more water. The water was like liquid ice touching my skin, but my lungs burned. A scream burst from my mouth only to be drowned by the water that came in after. I sank deeper and deeper.* *I saw his eyes flash a glowing white before he closed them and started kissing me again. This time it was gentler and softer than before. He tasted like warm honey biscuits. He was passionate and relaxed with his movement. I didn’t stop him. No, instead, I let him claim my lips. I run my hands though his hair pulling his face closer to mine. He rests his body on me, his weight heavy against my smaller frame, pressing me into the bed. The pressure of his body weight made me want to spread my legs and when I did a fire sparked inside me, my core was a blaze. My intimate area felt wet and hot like lava, and it was like everything around me melted away and I was lost in this kiss. This single moment in my life was undoing me. He pulled my head up sliding his arm underneath my neck to keep his body lifted slightly as he ran his fingers up my side. My body jolted; my hips instinctively lifted upwards, pushing against him. I could feel him harden between my legs and an unfamiliar ache stirred inside me, I moaned into his mouth. I could feel my body burning up again. I was getting dizzy, and I started to sweat. Or was that steam coming from us? Stars began dancing in my vision. Then a darkness swallowed me, and I was lost.* discord for this book is: https://discord.gg/Wx3RS62W

In this world, the year is 999 AD, and technology has reached a post-industrial stage. Smoke rises from coal-fired factories, airships float above cities, and revolvers hang at the waists of constables. Stone-paved roads run alongside iron rail lines, and gas lamps flicker in the fog-covered streets of old cities filled with towering brick buildings, soot-covered rooftops, and horse-drawn cabs. Magic exists, but it is rare. Only a small portion of the population can use it—those people are called Yrlton, meaning "Anomaly" in the common language of Alastair. To the average person, Yrlton are as strange as they are dangerous. Many believe their powers come from a curse, divine punishment, or a secret pact. Others whisper of rituals, strange substances, and hidden bloodlines. Becoming one isn’t something you train for. It happens, often without warning. Magic here isn’t bright or spectacular. It doesn’t come in flashes of light or grand displays. It’s subtle, often tied to emotion, thought, or the elements. A Yrlton might control wind, twist shadows, or hear what others cannot. Some Saintesses throughout history were secretly Yrlton, their powers awakened after drinking forbidden liquids or being exposed to ancient relics. Despite their abilities, most Yrlton live quiet lives. Governments register them, monitor them, and sometimes use them. They’re given low-paying jobs, handed strange tasks no one else wants, and treated with suspicion.
