Once Upon A Time In France

Reincarnated: Vive La France

France, 1934. The scars of the Great War still shape the military minds of the Third Republic. Trapped in the past, its generals place their faith in fortifications and defensive warfare, while across the Rhine, a new German army rises, faster, deadlier, and ready to crush everything in its path. Into this world awakens Captain Étienne Moreau, a man who should not exist. He remembers another life, one where France falls in 1940, where German tanks storm through the Ardennes, bypassing the Maginot Line. One where his country surrenders in a matter of weeks. But here, now, he has a chance to stop it. As an officer in the 2nd Armored Division, he fights for reforms: pushing for mobile tank warfare, warning of Hitler’s growing ambitions, and challenging the high command’s obsession with World War I tactics. Yet, his ideas are dismissed as radical, madness from a young officer who "thinks he knows war." Surrounded by political intrigue, military infighting, and rising fascism, Moreau must carefully navigate the system, winning allies among future leaders like Charles de Gaulle, while avoiding suspicion from the French High Command. His knowledge is a double-edged sword, if he is too aggressive, he risks being labeled a traitor. If he does nothing, he will live to see France burn. As war draws closer, Moreau faces a terrifying question: Can history be changed? Or is France doomed to fall, no matter what he does? Time is running out. The Blitzkrieg is coming. And he may be France’s last chance to fight back. -------------- Join my Discord Server. https://discord.gg/baYtKVEQnu I'm writing in a pretty niche genre, so I don't expect a huge number of readers.

Going Back In Time

Well, if someone told me reincarnation was real, I would laugh in their face. I would have said, Reincarnation are all dreams of losers, me included, who are not content with their life and want to escape reality. Many people would be happy to travel back in time, but I wasn't. Why reincarnate in this world of suffering when you are already dead? I've read a lot of novels about people reincarnating and being extremely happy, saying "Since I'm back from the future, I'm determined to make a difference in this world". That's some funny stuff they always say. But if they really came from the future, they would know there's no use trying to change the world because it will be the same as before! Let me tell you something: reality is different from fantasy. What people fail to realize is that, when you reincarnate into the past it will be difficult to make a difference in this world. If you are not extremely lucky, what you can achieve is changing your life course from before reincarnation. Let me give you an example if you still don't get it Let's say an average person who struggles every day to get something to eat and doesn't involve himself in the world too much. For example, reading the news, checking forex, and trading. How can a person like this make a difference at the world level? Their only responsibility is not to repeat the same mistakes they made before reincarnation. Ace Raynott, who reincarnated into the past by chance, faces questions about how he can change things when he knows nothing about this world except that he has to survive...

Once Evil

In the shadowy heart of Transylvania, a cursed village trembles under the weight of its haunted past. Generations ago, a devastating wildfire consumed the royal family's castle, silencing the bloodthirsty horrors that plagued the land. But peace is fleeting, and now, a century later, the curse has stirred once more. A sinister figure prowls the ruins, and the sky turns black as the rivers run red. Evil has returned. Far away in Vatican City, the Sanders family lives a peaceful life, blissfully unaware of the darkness that looms. Oliver, a devoted husband, plans a heartfelt surprise for his wife, only to find their home invaded by shadowy intruders. Bound and beaten, his agonizing screams pierce the fabric of reality, awakening a force long thought buried: Dracula, the fallen prince of darkness. As ancient alliances are rekindled and new horrors rise, Dracula gathers his court of supernatural beings—including the vengeful Cyclops and the cunning Baba Yaga. But the key to ultimate power, a lost family ring, remains hidden—a symbol of betrayal and bloodshed that ties Dracula’s fate to a brother he thought long dead. With humanity’s fragile peace hanging by a thread, the battle between light and shadow intensifies. Will the Sanders family survive the horrors at their doorstep? Can the forces of good rally against a darkness older than time? Once Evil is a gripping tale of betrayal, vengeance, and the eternal struggle between darkness and redemption. A story where no one is safe, and even the most innocent souls may find themselves at the mercy of ancient evil.

Once Human, Now a Parasite β

Arthur Bilgart was a successful and vastly wealthy businessman on Earth. However, he was kidnapped and tortured by his wife, Claudia, who was after everything he owned. He was tortured and isolated from the world for no less than a year before miserably dying. But death wasn't the end for he was reincarnated into a parasite in a foreign world. Volume 1: The Blood Purge (Chp 1 to 29) Volume 2 : The Mysterious Bottle (Chp 30 to 43) Volume 3 : The Bloated Murderer (Chp 44 to 65) Volume 4: Ruination (Pt1): Single-Minded Pursuit (Chp 66 to 86) Volume 4 : Ruination (Pt2): Feast of Lies and Sea of Spies (Chp8 to 128) Volume 5 : The Shadow Keep Penitentiary(Pt1): 'Why was the goose sad?'(Chp129 to ?) If you're interested in the premise, I will give some exposition on what to expect. First and foremost, the story, especially at the beginning, can have a slow pace to flesh out the world and characters. The plot will follow the parasite's second life in a new world in which Magic exists. Rather than focusing too much on non-stop and nonsensical fights, there will be a lot of focus on Arthur's psychological issues, his motives and beliefs. His views on the new world and opinions on moral relativism, the ruling aristocracy, the study of historical records and so on... Instead of a direct plot from beginning to end (Such as the generalized 'Defeat the Demon King), this story is more about self-discovery and the unravelling of ancient mysteries and forgotten history. It is about the character development of not only Arthur but other characters and how their actions affect the world. Arthur isn't inherently noble or unconditionally just, but he also isn't purely driven by lunacy or evil-oriented intentions. The MC is neither OP nor pitifully weak. This is not about someone reincarnated into a world just to become an undefeated force that simply kills everyone. There will be chapters dedicated to Lore or the travails of supporting characters. There are relatively detailed maps that I've created myself, which can be found here: The maps contain SPOILERS about regions and locations. https://ibb.co/xDPk4zz https://ibb.co/smKDgds There will be a System, one which isn't overly-complex nor too simplistic. In the beginning, at least, it is more of a visual and numerical representation of the MC's growth as he learns more about his Race and what it is capable of. Without delving into any details, the following are what you will find in this story: Exploring the world; Meeting new people, discovering fascinating cultures, deepening one's understanding of existence's history, delving into Politics. At some points, the story will be dark and quite disturbing. Chapters are between 1500 and 3000 words. One last thing: I'm not a native English-speaker, therefore, my grammar isn't flawless. I try my best to make everything coherent and enjoyable, but I might make a mistake or two along the way. If you notice anything, be sure to let me know and I will fix it. Apologies in advance and I hope you like the story.

Just France

Just call me “France”, I am 24 years old, 5’6 in height, 72 kg, with fair skin, and black hair. Currently, I am working in an insurance company. I am someone who is living and going with the flow of what life may bring because, at this age mine, I still don’t know what things I want to do and I also don’t know what path to take. I am someone who is wondering why am I still wandering in this life. I was born into a not-so-privileged family in the southern part of Cebu, Philippines. I grew up far from civilization and I can consider myself an old-fashioned man when I was given a chance to go to a university. Going to a university was my biggest dream those days and also it seems to be impossible to go to the university because I am 4th from the eldest and I have 4 younger siblings, looking at our family status and situation, it’s impossible for me to go to a university. Because of my willingness and determination to go to a university and get a degree, I really studied hard and disciplined myself during my junior and senior years and luckily I was able to get a scholarship because I graduated as the class valedictorian. I am very happy that time not just because I became valedictorian but because of the smiles of my parents, they are my biggest inspiration to reach my goals in life. Their happiness is my greatest happiness. Fast forward, I graduated college, earned a degree, and got my license as a professional teacher. I thought that after achieving those goals, everything will be alright but I am wrong because after I got my license, I don’t know what to do and what path to choose. I am stuck in my life. Above all, I am optimistic and believe that “All things work together for good”. Be part of my journey as I start to write my diary.
