Manchurian Candidate

Synopsis. What would happen if a genius martial artist transmigrated into the world of swords and magic? Will he become the Ruler of the new world? Or Will he become the prey to the strong like a side character? Leon, a genius martial artist, was struck by lightning when he was on his way home. When the doctor said he was paralyzed from shoulder to foot, all martial artists cheered in happiness and held a party. Leon was a candidate to be the Ruler, so they were thrilled when they found out that he could no longer be a martial artist because they were scared by his extraordinary and unreasonable talent. They wanted to continue to be bosses in their regions and become idols for everyone, so news of his condition was like a heavenly song to their ears. The world's cruelty to Leon did not stop there. When a powerful earthquake shook the hospital violently, none of the doctors or nurses tried to save him, leaving him with no choice but to accept his fate as walls and medical equipment collapsed on him. But when he thought he was dead, he found himself transmigrated into a parallel world where monsters and powerful people ruled the world. Getting a second chance to live again, Leon decides to pursue his dreams like before. "Hmm? You mean there are two classes for awakeners in this world, and I awaken both the Warrior class and the Mage class?" Leon said as he touched his chin with his right hand. [That's right, Host.] Leon's lips curled up into a smile. "I failed to achieve my dream in my previous life. In this life, I will make sure to become the Ruler. I will stand at the top of the hierarchy and make everyone bow their heads to me." Leon slowly lifted his head to look at the blue sky, remembering his previous life. "I will not let anyone or anything stop me this time. If the heaven tries to stop me again, I will make the heaven bow as well." Follow Leon as he embarks on his journey to become the Ruler of the new world. * MC is OP at the same rank, too OP.

Approximately 1500 years ago, one of the most turbulent periods in human history unfolded. As massive global wars shattered long-standing eras of peace, a leader of ruthless strategic genius emerged in Asia and established a new order amidst the chaos. This leader launched the revolutionary “High Human Project” by leveraging technological superiority; he radically redefined human evolution, yet mercilessly eliminated those who mutated in the name of this transformation. This dark age turned into an unforgettable tale of resistance when a mutant child, hidden in a Mars colony, survived and sowed the seeds of a future rebellion. Fast forward to our time, and the echoes of this past resound in the young officer candidate Erikhan, who is training at the Galactic Warfare Academy. His graduation day at the academy marks a critical turning point for the empire’s future—at the intersection of his uncertain destiny and the convergence of the old and new worlds. Erikhan possesses all the qualities needed to become the hero of this new era of warfare—but is he truly ready for it?

The world has changed—drastically, irrevocably—and so have its people. For years, humanity has lived without the knowledge of the Server, a mysterious force whose influence has always been pervasive but never as unsettlingly real as it is now. The world is riddled with Glitches, forces that cause irrepressible damage to the Earth's cores and its foundation. Paxton Zen, a sixteen-year-old has been abandoned by his family and betrayed by life itself. But when the Server unexpectedly selects him for a second chance, Paxton is thrust into a reality he never dared to imagine and a game that bets his life at every turn. [CONGRATULATIONS, PAXTON ZEN. YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN AS A CANDIDATE FOR THE LORD POSITION] [REWARDS LOADING….] [YOU HAVE SURPASSED 99.5% OF CHALLENGERS. THE SERVER IS HIGHLY PLEASED] [YOU HAVE OBTAINED FOUR CHARACTER SLOTS] [YOUR RESULTS ARE OUT] [YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED A 100% CHANCE OF OBTAINING A HEROIC CARD. A 90% CHANCE OF OBTAINING A LEGENDARY CARD AND A 80% CHANCE OF OBTAINING A MYTHIC CARD] [YOUR MIGHT IS BOUNDLESS!]..... Armed with the power of Character Slots and the enigmatic features of the Server, Paxton embarks on a journey to carve out the life he’s always dreamed of—and one he never believed possible.

Lin Fan one day is searching for games to play when he comes across an interesting title. However, when he goes to play, he finds himself transported into the game world, as the Sect Master of the Moon Embracing Sect. The once-mighty Moon Embracing Sect had long since fallen into obscurity, but Lin Fan has devised a plan to survive: the game mentioned an increase in power and talent with each disciple accepted, with the rewards dependent on the talent of the disciple. And what better disciples to accept than those with a protagonist template and the children of destiny? Thus, he established a unorthodox admission policy: - Those with missing parents and annulled engagements, automatic admission. - Those who talked to rings, old men in paintings, or mysterious artifacts, automatic admission. - Those who had survived more than three near-death encounters, automatic admission. - Those whose enemies enjoyed sneering arrogantly before getting crushed, automatic admission. - And, of course, those who carried the aura of a protagonist, automatic admission. The strategy seemed foolproof—until the Fifth Elder excitedly brought news of a candidate who checked every box. Lin Fan was thrilled… until he heard the name: Tang. Danger alarms rang in his mind. This wasn’t a disciple; this was a walking catastrophe! Without hesitation, Lin Fan rewrote destiny itself, erased the sect’s involvement, and carefully redirected this disaster-child toward their greatest rival instead. As he barricaded himself in closed-door seclusion, one thought haunted him: Had he just saved his sect… or doomed the entire world? A cultivation comedy where tropes are shattered, clichés are exploited, and a sect leader does everything in his power to outmaneuver fate itself! ================= Translated but with some things removed or added to make it more readable and logical.

Auriel, the Goddess of Balance, was once revered among the pantheon of deities for her immense power. However, her chronic clumsiness and inability to manage divine tasks without causing unintended disasters have made her the laughingstock of the gods. After one particularly disastrous mistake (accidentally flooding an entire celestial city), she’s banished to the human realm as punishment. Her mistake? Seducing the Chief God's daughter and make her fall for Auriel? Her next task? Select the next ruler of Earth. Her problem? Every "candidate" is a strong-willed, talented woman who, instead of vying for Earth’s throne, seems more interested in vying for Auriel’s heart. ____ Will have r18, smut, futa, harem and so much more

In a world where humanity exists only in the present, the fate of mankind hinges on the power of the Judicators—warriors who awaken their Faith and synchronize with powerful beasts to combat the monstrous horrors that emerge from the Thresholds of Judgment. Amari Elian never expected to stand out. Like every other candidate, he hoped to receive a strong Faith ability and bond with a single beast. But when he touches the Altar of Awakening, the impossible happens. He doesn’t just synchronize with one beast. He bonds with two. A jaguar, gifting him monstrous strength. A pistol mantis shrimp, bestowing speed beyond comprehension. And worse—his Faith ability is unlike any other. Plunder. A power that doesn’t grant. A power that steals. Branded as a dangerous anomaly, Amari is thrust into a world of suspicion, secrets, and war. Hunted by those who fear his existence, revered by those who seek his strength—he must uncover the truth behind his powers before he becomes the very thing the Judicators were meant to destroy. But as ancient forces awaken… As the Thresholds of Judgment grow stronger… One question remains: Is he humanity’s last hope… or its greatest threat?

Like most candidates, Zlatan's dream was a simple one. To pass the hunter's test, join a guild, hunt monsters and reach the A-class. Eventually, as he dreamed of, he achieved it hundreds of years later. Having sacrificed more than he could take in, using the most unthinkable and brutal measures, he became an S-class Hunter instead. Obtaining the Copper Flame back then after the Aura Awakening Ritual, that was his greatest flaw. Taking a span of 80 years to reach a D-class. Still, Zlatan Elmore became the most powerful hunter to exist. Falling on the battlefield against a Two-horned Dragon, he suddenly awoke as his 30 year old self. Given another chance at life, he didn't only have his memories but he's also given a Blank Scroll. This mysterious scroll doesn't only speak, its omniscient!

Their sins got the whip of god's worst and on that fateful day, god left this world in ruins. However, in his supposed mercy, he left them with a means to survive and protect themselves against the fiendish demons and monsters that came upon them. This gift, they called: Talents! Kieran Marcoth finds himself in this god-abandoned world, and on the day he was to receive his talent—a gift from Orion, the left god—he awakened a 'hidden' SSS-ranked talent. A talent that could only be activated once the condition was met. Instantly, Kieran turned into a subject of mockery, spite, and insults, and somehow, just somehow… he found himself riddled with injuries and on the brink of death. However, it seemed Orion was yet to forget his son. [Ding! Conditions have been met] [Host has been successfully selected as a God candidate] [Defeat the other candidates! Become the next God of this ruined world] Seeing the notification, Kieran couldn’t care less. Only one thought was registered in his mind: ‘I’m going to fucking kill those bastards!’ His journey began… Will the once-kind helper become a tyrant god?

Every year, a tournament is held to determine who will become the next superhuman. This story follows one candidate, Kaden, who is looking for a challenge. The tournament, he believes, is the best way to do so...

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

When Lu Yuan opened his eyes to a parallel world, his "loving" girlfriend demanded a skyrocketing bride price and emotionally blackmailed him into funding her freeloading brother. His response? "Let's break up." Then came the God Tycoon System with two divine rules: Unlimited money flows like water. Every splurge unlocks wilder rewards – from reality-bending talismans to celebrity harem candidates. Now, as Lu crushes gold-diggers with luxury car keys and trolls arrogant bankers with billion-yuan deposits, he discovers the ultimate truth: In this world, cash isn't king... it's the entire damn chessboard.

"Secret agreement? With a vampire?" Odel asked, gaping in shock. "Yes! You must agree to marry our vampire king candidates!" Baron said with a grin. "No! I don't want to! Please, release me!" "No! It's your destiny, Odel! Your fiancé is here as well!" Baron pointed to the three vampire men and continued speaking. "Daffin, Emilio, and Clayton! You must choose one of them!" "What do you mean?" "Those three vampire men—they are all your fiancés!"

Five years ago, the Great Deity chose a lone hero as the Arbiter of the World’s Fate. While the Nine Magic Academy Alliance scoured its ranks for the strongest candidate, Kanna Hashikawa—the forsaken daughter of a concubine—lived in isolation, unaware of the grand destiny awaiting her. Until one day, a magical accident nearly cost her life and led her to meet Eurth, the Great Deity. He bestowed upon her the Soul Book—a tome that records the future. As its pages unraveled the fate that had been written for her, Kanna came to a terrifying realization. But—"Who decided that I would save the world?!" As the world’s hidden truths emerge and the shadow of annihilation looms ever closer, one thing becomes undeniable… NB: jika ingin membaca, mungkin akan lebih baik ikuti perkembangan di platform WP dalam bahasa Indonesia, terima kasih

A.J., a Black nonbinary researcher working at a University in the North of England, in 1992, is an unlikely candidate to be at the centre of an investigation into extra-terrestrial lifeforms, but they happen to find themselves at the eye of the storm. Dr Guilder, a friend, and mentor of A.J. introduces them to the fascinating Dr Immanuel Paley who is a brilliant English academic, who is rather quirky. Following the strange ramblings of Dr Paley leads A.J. to contact the astronomers Lava and Dr Henry Derwent, but their email exchange does not go unnoticed by the authorities. A.J. is soon whisked away from their daily life to be forced into a team with scientists Kai, Jen, Lava, and Henry. The government brought the five strangers in on their non-public exploration of strange crafts that had recently descended into earth’s atmosphere, to try and figure out if there happened to be anything inside the alien crafts, and if there was, if these beings were a threat to humans. It just so happened that Dr Paley had information that could help.

"Ahhhhh…this is the orcs tribe!!!! Abraham was shocked when Mary told him where he was now. " Ehhh…who is this….impossible!!!!.is this me!!!!!" With a loud voice Abraham shouted when he saw a green figure in the reflection of the river water. ###### " What !!! You gave your blood in the transformation potion!!!!"

Are you sure?" Ripley the captain of the Antilia orcs tribe knights asked Ramon. " Isn't that good, if he can survive just think of it as his destiny, but if not, then Juanan's problem will be solved right!" Ramon replied with a calculating tone. " But, what about Juana's response?" Ripley asked confused. "Don't worry, it's better to suffer in the beginning than to suffer longer in the future. Don't you know, the side effects of drinking this change potion, and Juana is our tribe's witch!! So she has to get a candidate from the tribe, not another!!!" Ramon replied with a determined tone.

Kayn just wants a normal school life. No drama, no trouble—just study hard, blend in, and become a Royal Knight. But there’s one tiny problem… He looks like the final boss of a dark fantasy game. Towering muscles? Check. Demonic red eyes? Yep. Mysterious aura of overwhelming doom? Unfortunately, yes. And just to make things worse: Zero magic (but can punch a dragon into orbit). Completely immune to spells (mages are crying). Every weapon he touches instantly breaks (at this point, it's just sad). Despite his best efforts to be a normal student, everyone is losing their minds. The so-called "hero" candidates are convinced he’s the reincarnation of a legendary Demon Lord and live in constant fear of his “inevitable world domination.” The professors and nobles despise him because he’s a peasant. And worst of all? Every villainess in the academy is in love with him. Cold-blooded crime heiresses, mischievous assassins, and even demon princesses see Kayn as their perfect bad-boy soulmate. No matter how hard he tries to avoid trouble, misunderstandings keep throwing him into the spotlight! His dream of a peaceful student life? DEAD ON ARRIVAL. Now, Kayn has to survive academy life without accidentally conquering the school, triggering an all-out war, or—heaven forbid—becoming the next Demon Lord. (Seriously, why does everyone think that?!)

"When your bride candidate is a godkiller, a cyberghost, and the paradox of time itself, the countdown to the wedding becomes the death knell for humanity." Archaeologist Alex Carter never imagined that a mysterious crystal he dug up in Turkey would be a betrothal gift from an ancient god. With the 72-hour countdown burned into his retina, three "brides" from parallel worlds force their way into his life: Lilith, the memory witch of Eternal Night City, the red-headed death who weaves traps with the fragments of other people's lives; Elena, the mechanical wanted criminal of Cyberyuan Ruins, a dark humorist whose brain has been replaced by 30% of the ancient god's tentacles; The paradoxical samurai Michiko of Sakura Knife country, the evil god suppressed by the family for generations is the object she must marry. In this twisted doomsday engagement, Alex discovers an even harsher truth: Each "bride" is a carefully nurtured switch for the end of the world by the ancient gods, and he is just a breathing chip in the gods' game plate.

Running away from my father’s shadow was supposed to set me free—but life had other plans. Unlike those spoiled rich girls who rebel to "find themselves," my story is different. My father isn’t just wealthy—he’s a fraud, a con artist wrapped in fame and fake billions. The world sees a powerful tycoon, but I know the truth: we're as broke as beggars. The problem? His fame clings to me like a curse. People think I’m stingy when I can't splurge like my so-called friends. Job interviews? Forget it—no one believes I’ll work hard when they assume I have money to burn. And when someone does consider hiring me, they think I’m pulling a social experiment, robbing a more deserving candidate of the opportunity. After years of living under his lies, I finally find a haven where no one knows my real identity. It should have been my fresh start—until I accidentally capture the hearts of two billionaires. One of them is my boss: powerful, magnetic, and maddeningly irresistible. The other is charming, relentless, and determined to win me over. Both of them are dangerous to my carefully hidden secret. Both of them tempt me in ways I never imagined. But I can't have them both—and choosing between them might just destroy the fragile life I've built. How long can I keep pretending before my father’s past catches up to me—and my heart leads me into even deeper trouble?

Beneath the Texan sun's blistering rays, Lin Ye licked his parched lips. The holographic federal flag snapped above Austin's Awakening Square where a mechanized honor guard played "The Star-Spangled Banner" through synth-flesh fingers. He stared at the genetic code glowing dully on his wrist - the numbers that should have shone gold now ashen gray. "Candidate #114514, neural compatibility 21%..." The AI judge's verdict drowned in audience jeers. Lin Ye saw his father Lin Zhennan crushing his Stetson's brim in the VIP box, while his mother Su Wan's quantum projection pixelated with emotional static. When the blue-blooded family's hovercar glided overhead, William Rockefeller III's laughter rained down. The nano-suit-clad heir leaned from his tinted window, military-grade ocular implant flashing crimson: "Seems the Lins will forever be ranch mutts?" Lin Ye gripped his mother's bronze pendant until its edges bit flesh. Suddenly, his retinal display flickered with an eerie prompt: [Ancient gene sequence detected. Breaching federal firewall...]

18 years have passed since I was born as Allen, the eldest son of an earl in this world, while still retaining my memories of the present world. This world is peaceful and a stable society. The only extraordinary thing is that I was reincarnated into a world that is lenient on the existence of concubines. I selected a silver-haired maid as a sex slave and second wife candidate from among 10 candidates after a strict fellatio practical exam. I then lived an erotic life at home and at school as an attendant, but my reincarnated life is so fulfilling that I'm worried it will explode, as my busty childhood friend, a noble girl who was unsuccessful, ran for the third wife candidate, and my stepmother, who was my virgin partner, was sold off.
