[Warning: Mature Content] Rayden Zephyrios, a remarkably handsome and robust young man, is unexpectedly summoned to an alternate realm. In this new world, he is designated to serve as a Combat Magician, tasked with enhancing the military prowess of a certain kingdom. However, after an evaluation of his magical capabilities, it is revealed that he possesses only two innate abilities: telekinesis and plant growth—both of which are considered rather mundane and commonplace among the populace. Deeming Rayden's potential impact negligible, the king decides to grant him his freedom, bestowing upon him several bags of gold and independent ownership of expansive lands located within the treacherous wilderness of the borderlands. Far from feeling disheartened or disadvantaged, Rayden views this new chapter of his life as increasingly alluring, unburdened by the constraints he once faced on Earth. In a surprising twist, upon re-evaluating his inherent abilities, Rayden discovers that the initial assessment was marred by a technical error. In reality, he possesses Ultimate Gravity Magic, enabling him to manipulate gravitational forces to the most extreme degrees, and Ultimate Verdant Magic, granting him mastery and absolute control over all forms of plant life. With these formidable powers at his disposal, Rayden sets forth on an ambitious mission to establish a realm where he can live freely, unencumbered by any form of scarcity or need. (Content Advisory: This narrative contains mature themes, including intense violence and yuri elements. It is crafted specifically for readers who are comfortable with and can appreciate such complex themes.

“If you want my heart, prove your worth.” One fateful day, Jin Ye, the Emperor of the Hwan Empire, discovers a man’s name mysteriously etched onto her skin: Yeon Mugeon. The decree is clear—he is her Soulmate, chosen by the will of Heaven itself. Curious but skeptical, Jin Ye tracks him down to a remote, desolate borderland. What she finds is not the noble warrior or formidable partner she expected, but a lowly peasant—ordinary, powerless, and utterly unfit to stand beside an emperor. “We are a match ordained by the Heavens. But is such a thing truly of any significance?” “Then why...?” “To decide whether to take your head if I found you unsatisfactory. What use is a Soulmate if they’re dead?” “In that case... I desire to possess you.” Deeming him beneath her, Jin Ye orders her loyal confidant to cast him into a cursed wasteland teeming with monsters. Yet against all odds, Mu-geon survives the impossible and returns to her side—not as the hopeless peasant she dismissed, but as a ‘man’ bound to her by an unshakable thread of destiny. “I am not afraid to offer you my everything. Even if you command me to become a monster.” “I grant you permission... to stand as a man before me.” #SoulmateAU #Romance #Fantasy #LoveTriangle #FamaleLead #Loyalty Text copyright ⓒ 2024 by Jeong Euncho All right reserved.

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.

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.

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?

For Shi Lu, a dual-system powerhouse born in the end times, nothing is more important than simply surviving. So, when she was struck by lightning and became Li Wu Ya, a daughter of a humble military household in ancient borderlands, she adapted well and quickly assimilated into the ways of the ancient people. To live, one must have some pursuits. Clothing: Fine silk and satin, and jewellery too, but not excessive. Food: A daily indulgence in bird's nest, shark fin, and sea cucumber, but not excessive. Shelter: Pavilions, towers, and elegant corridors, surrounded by serene bamboo forests and the melodies of birds, where one's home becomes a scenic spot, but not excessive. Transportation: Lavish carriages and luxury horses are a must, but not excessive. With an endless supply of money, no need to work, a loving husband, and children to warm her bed, life... perfect! Life is not easy, so one must love oneself dearly. Shi Lu is determined to experience everything she hasn't encountered or enjoyed in the end times. Unfortunately, reality dealt her a harsh blow. The borderlands are bitterly cold, plagued by years of war, and even getting enough food to eat is difficult, with constant threats to her life. Fine, let's roll up our sleeves and strive! Shi Lu abides by one motto: As long as you don't stand in my way, you're good, I'm good, and everyone's good. Otherwise!!! To secure her position, one must be assertive.

In a world full of dangers and opportunities, what would you do with a high-level artifact of the outer plane? Is it to be free and easy on the mainland, fighting swordsmanship, killing people in ten steps? Or silently farm and develop in the borderlands, and occasionally go out and pretend to be a pig? Or to revive the ancient arcane, to restore the glory of the arcanist? Or... become a great god and control the fate of mortals? This is the history of Donald's struggle in another world.

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!
