Borderland

Lin Ziyin, modern day mechanical professor especially hired by the school, had the potential for great achievement in her field. However, due to family reasons, she could only treat her mechanical research and teaching as a secondary job, pouring all her energy into the farm and the food business before. Despite her low-key approach, she was unable to suppress her sister's rage, and a furious car crash sent her straight to ancient times. Indeed, she had excellent character, so why did the heavens send her to the sparsely populated Northern Land. Known as the death zone, those who were banished to this borderland would spend their lives and perish there. However, Lin Ziyin was quite satisfied with her own identity. Even if she had lost the protection of her parents, she still had the protection of her siblings and grandfather. Of course, she also had her younger brother and nephew at home who needed her protection. This abundance of familial love was enough to compensate for the hardships caused by poverty at home. Poverty, she wasn't afraid of, as she had experience in farming. With large swathes of uncultivated land, the Northern Land was practically custom-made for her. The heavy workload didn't matter either, she was proficient in designing all kinds of small tools. Whether it was the emperor's absurdity, not providing aid to the border king, or the shameless Tatars that would rob them frequently, none of these posed a problem for her. She could think of solutions for everything. It wasn't uncommon for the border king to tell everyone how lucky he was to have married such a wonderful queen!

In the futuristic nation of Osiren, society is divided between those deemed “Purebloods” and the Exiled—a group once integrated but forced into exile when a foreign invasion threatened their lands. The government of Osiren, seeing them as expendable and dangerous due to their mixed heritage, banished the Exiled to the borderlands to fight the foreign enemy’s powerful N-Types, autonomous combat machines. The Purebloods live in high-tech cities shielded by protective walls, using the Exiled as pawns in a proxy war. Although their command centers monitor the Exiled and feed them orders, they seldom acknowledge them as individuals, treating them as mere tools in a ruthless game of survival. Each Exiled soldier wears a collar that links them to the command center, allowing the “overseers” to control and monitor them from afar.

Enhanced Blurb: Yuan Li, a skilled logistics officer in the modern battlefield, finds himself transported to ancient China. He awakens as the son of a minor official and is sent off by his tearful parents to the Prince Chu's Mansion, where he is to marry the ailing eldest son in a desperate attempt to bring him good fortune. On that fateful day, Chu Hechao, the second son of the Prince Chu, returns from the battlefield in a whirlwind of dust and blood, his armor still unremoved. He takes his brother's place at the wedding ceremony, exchanging vows with Yuan Li under the heavens. Yuan Li, inhaling the scent of blood and earth that clings to Chu Hechao, senses the aura of a dangerous individual. That night, Chu Hechao insists on sharing the nuptial wine with Yuan Li in his brother's stead. Yuan Li, his smile gentle, extends the cup, "General, please." His slender fingers, as pale as jade, grasp the goblet, while his long eyelashes flutter against his handsome face. Chu Hechao regards him with a sardonic smile, then downs the wine in one swift gulp. Half a month later, the eldest son of the Prince Chu succumbs to his illness, and Chu Hechao abducts Yuan Li, whisking him away to the borderlands on horseback. Yuan Li's Contributions in the Ancient Battlefield: Yuan Li's expertise shines through as he transforms the ancient battlefield: • Cultivating crops to ensure a bountiful harvest • Raising livestock to provide sustenance • Clearing roads to facilitate transportation • Establishing medical facilities to care for the wounded Yuan Li's tireless efforts transform the military camp into a thriving hub, earning him the admiration and gratitude of the soldiers, who view him as their lifeline. The Smoldering Tension Between Yuan Li and Chu Hechao: Amidst this backdrop of progress, a simmering tension brews between Yuan Li and Chu Hechao. Chu Hechao, the enigmatic and formidable general, struggles to reconcile his growing affection for Yuan Li with the circumstances that brought them together. "It was I who married you," Chu Hechao grits his teeth, suppressing his anger. "It was I who drank the nuptial wine with you. It was I who shared your wedding night." "Perhaps you should look my way," Yuan Li suggests, his voice laced with a hint of challenge. Their dynamic is a captivating blend of strength, attraction, and unresolved conflicts, adding depth and intrigue to the narrative. Overall, "After Being Abducted by the General" promises an engaging and heartwarming tale of love, self-discovery, and nation-building, with a touch of tantalizing tension.

This is a story of a talented prince who wore a mask all his life – ever since he was a kid, until one day he was assassinated in his room. He wakes up and finds himself in the most dangerous continent in the world – the Borderlands. Dungeons, hunting grounds, monsters, crime, is common place. He is the most excited he had ever been his whole life. In his new life, he found himself in the body of a 15 year old boy called Lock. Lock was probably the least talented sorcerer in the magic academy, and the only spell he could decently cast was Fireball. He was excited for the future until he found that his reincarnation had killed the real owner of his new body. --- Disclaimer: Please understand that this is fiction; anything resembling the real world is a mere coincidence, okay? I don’t have the slightest intention of offending any kind of group. Again, this is just fiction! --- My Other Novels: Master of the Demonic System and Shadow Insanity.

I awaken in a dark, barely lit room, as a throbbing headache ebbs away ever so slowly. Where was I? Why was I near naked? And why did I have a, although gorgeous looking, black tattoo? "Get up, meat bicycle! You and I are gonna have some fun!" yelled a feminine, crazed voice, which caused me to look over the other side of the room, spotting a familiar looking mask, which laid on a table, and a large, voluptuous woman stared at me with a hunger in her eyes. Is this fucking Borderlands-

Summary: the main character, Chunami, is a very high-ranking character whom one day gets met with a girl named Elly, who's in search for her missing sister. She helps Elly in boredom and curiosity but ends up finding more about her (Chunami)'s past and soon after gaining the position of higher ranking, war occurs. However, this time with a new leadership. *This does include romance as a side-plot* *Main character is badass in my view but not relatable* (examples: Nanno from the Girl From Nowhere or Mira from Alice in Borderland) *The male lead is, in fact, SIMPABLE* *The plotting is a bit complicated and in the end after I'm finished I'm willing to create a chapter explaining EVERYTHING*

Chunn was sent to destroy the world, but he became enamored with the taste of the food from a humble curry shop in the borderlands. So he had to find a way to delay the destruction of the world. When we think of superheroes who protect the world, we often think of superheroes like Marvles or DC heroes. But what if something really happened and the human world was protected from destruction by the cooking skills of an ordinary human who runs a curry shop? This is the story of Chunn, a space engineer who was sent to destroy the world according to the announcement of the intergalactic expressway authority in order to make a new space highway. However, he became enamored with the simple and delicious Thai food at a curry shop run by a young man who had resigned from his office job and inherited a shop under an apartment. Chunnn regrets destroying the world and is determined to come back to eat at this restaurant every night, as long as the food remains delicious. The fate of the entire world thus rests in the hands of this restaurant's chef. This story uses the concept of world destruction similarly to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", but it's different and not copied. The actual plot development is more like "One Thousand and One Nights". Give it a try and see for yourself!

It wasn't on purpose.

Working as a barista in the city of Quezon, Maria discovers that not only was the book she had once read predicting the end of the world, but her old pocket watch was the key to figuring out its secrets. Before she knew it, chaos started to unfold, claiming the lives of thousands as deadly games began to appear all over the world, forcing humans to become players to survive. Maria never imagined that an old book series could lead to such catastrophes. Can a book with hundreds of pages stacked together— really be the sole reason for the end of humanity?

With the desire to meet the beings that heralded the world's end and uncover the mysteries shrouding her books, Maria strove to survive and adapt to her new reality, even if it meant being tangled between life and death.
