Common Shipping

In a galaxy torn apart by war, Kia Mercer, a gifted ship designer and mechanic, wants nothing more than to keep his head down and his hands busy. But with the Stellar Union locked in a brutal conflict against the Coalition—an alliance of rebellious human settlements—Kia is conscripted into service, forced to apply his expertise to the Union’s war machine. Everything changes when a routine salvage mission leads him to the discovery of an ancient warship buried deep within a forgotten world. Unlike anything seen in modern spacefaring civilizations, the vessel is a relic of a lost empire, brimming with dormant technology far beyond the reach of humanity’s warring factions. More than just a ship, it holds the last remnants of a once-great civilization—and it has chosen Kia as its inheritor. As he unlocks the secrets of the ship and its people’s legacy, Kia finds himself caught between the ambitions of the Stellar Union, the desperate resistance of the Coalition, and those who would see the lost technology erased from history. But the warship isn’t just a relic—it’s a weapon powerful enough to change the course of history. With the fate of the galaxy in his hands, Kia must decide whether to bow to the demands of the present or forge a new future from the ashes of the past.

“A seashell bra? How is this going to help us survive?!” “Just put it on! We need steel!” Lucas Carter, a 23-year-old virgin living in his parents’ basement, gets thrown into the Endless Ocean survival game aboard the Love Siren—a pink, heart-covered ship that runs on “romance points.” His mission?

Rein Aster is just a scary-looking commoner who wants a peaceful life. Unfortunately, life has other plans. Thanks to a clerical error (or maybe divine mischief), he’s accidentally enrolled in Astrelia Royal Academy—a prestigious institution meant only for nobles of pure bloodlines. His presence alone is a scandal, and the academy’s elite students demand his immediate expulsion. But there’s just one problem: Rein is an absolute monster in combat. Having been raised and trained by his terrifying aunt, Lilith Aster, a so-called "Demon Lord" (who’s actually a legendary hero), Rein endured years of brutal training disguised as "character-building exercises." Now, thanks to that hellish upbringing, he’s: Unfazed by deadly magic, casually walking off spells that would cripple knights. A natural-born warrior, wielding weapons like an extension of his own body. So desensitized to pain that academy duels feel like a relaxing pastime. At first, the noble factions try to crush him. Instead, he crushes their expectations. Celestia von Ardentia, the prideful high elf princess, sees him as a brute—until she realizes his strength is beyond noble superiority. Eleanor du Rosette, the cold and calculating half-dragon, suspects Rein is no mere commoner and sets out to uncover his secrets. Lilia von Helios, the mischievous fox girl, finds him endlessly amusing and attaches herself to him for entertainment. Seraphina Nachtwald, the feared dark elf villainess, is shocked when Rein doesn’t flinch at her intimidation tactics—and starts shadowing him instead. As Rein unwittingly shakes up the entire academy, dark forces begin to stir. An underground faction sees him as a threat, and assassins are sent to eliminate him. Too bad Rein just assumes they’re part of a particularly intense training exercise. And just when the academy reaches peak chaos, the truth is revealed: Rein Aster isn’t just any commoner. He’s the nephew of the strongest hero in history. His reaction? "Wait… my aunt was a hero?! I thought she was just a crazy old lady!" A ridiculous fantasy romcom harem where the overpowered commoner just wants a quiet life—but accidentally conquers the royal academy instead!

Overnight, the world's common sense changed. But then... "It's common sense that erect penises are cared for with wet pussies, right?" "Customer, shall I milk it for you?

The world is ending in 30 days, and Leah Móu refuses to die twice. In her first life, she did everything by the book—waited for the military lottery, got a spot on their overcrowded ship, and died eight years into the journey. Starved, beaten, and forgotten. Now, she's back—thirty days before Earth's destruction—and this time? Screw the lottery. She wants luxury. She wants security. She wants a private ship. There’s just one problem. The one man rich enough to buy her a ticket off this dying rock doesn’t have a ship—because he’s not planning to leave. Kael Orion Voss—retired Alpha general, supermarket mogul, and certified pain-in-the-ass—fully intends to die with the planet. His genetically modified body is breaking down. He’s got thirty good years left, and he’d rather spend them sipping scotch in his penthouse than wasting a decade rotting in a tin can heading for Mars or so he thought. Leah crashes into his life—literally—with insane claims that Earth is about to explode. And worse? She wants him to gamble billions on a military ship auction he wasn’t invited to. She’s crazy. She’s desperate. So why can’t he bring himself to throw her out? Maybe it’s the way she knows things no one should know. Maybe it’s the fire in her eyes that says she’s already survived hell. Or maybe… it’s the way his Alpha instincts scream when she gets too close. Because Leah’s not just a con artist. She’s an Omega. His Omega. And the world may be ending—but suddenly, Kael has something worth living for. Release Rate: Weekday 2ch M-T BONUS: Reviews +1ch (Use+) Notes: Rewriting due to being too draggy

Chen Feng didn't ask to be immortal, and he definitely didn't ask to be trapped in a massive, possibly sentient, cave. But after a one-way trip down a cliff face, that's exactly where he finds himself. Now, he's got to learn the rules of this new, underground world – rules that seem to involve a lot of glowing rocks, surprisingly potent fruit, and a pond that feels suspiciously like liquid energy. He's not a hero, not a cultivator, and certainly not a fan of damp, dark places. But with an eternity stretching before him, Chen Feng decides to make the best of it. He'll build, he'll explore, and he'll maybe even accidentally stumble upon the secrets of true power, all while trying very hard not to die (again). This is his story, a reluctant immortal's guide to surviving – and thriving – in the most unexpected of places. --- Slow at the start but picks up the pace later on.

What will you do if a commoner girl like you has a supermodel boyfriend?

As if it wasn’t enough to be hit on the head by my co-workers and boyfriend, I died at the hands of my gambling-addict older brother. Without even regretting my unfortunate death, I realized that I had possessed a supporting role in a romantic fantasy novel, which I just read yesterday. To be precise, a villainess destined to die at the hands of her husband. I know it’s cliché! ‘Possessed a villainess in a romantic fantasy novel! So this is what it feels like?’ I thought it was pretty good for the price of my unfair death. Until I realize that no matter what I do, I can’t deviate from the flow of the original. For the female lead Rizé, it’s a delightful cider series, but it’s nothing more of a bloody story for Edith, the villainess I possessed. I am the protagonist in my life. If I’m going to die according to the original story, I should at least kiss my super handsome husband! In the original story, Edith is greatly despised by her husband, but who cares, I’m going to die anyway. However… “You pretended not to be, but now you’re so hot to play with. Well, that’s good.” “Yes…?” “Satisfy me like Rigelhof’s serpent. Well, who knows? I might be interested in that body of yours.” …why is the original story starting to change now? ***** P/s: The cover are not mine. It’s from original author. Don’t use it without permission.

Karl, a young man stuck in a rough patch after losing his job and burning through almost all his savings, wandered through the cold, dark streets of Eldoria. On the damp, silent sidewalks, he stumbled upon something bizarre: an old gacha machine mysteriously appearing at every corner he turned, almost as if it was following him. Driven by a mix of curiosity and the overwhelming weirdness of the situation, Karl finally gave in and used his last bit of money on the machine. From the gacha ball, he pulled out a card with a barcode. Back in his cramped apartment, curiosity finally won over caution, and Karl scanned the barcode. To his shock, an app called "Common Sense Manipulation App" installed itself on his phone, claiming it could alter people's "common sense." ------ Support Me By Gifts or Power Stones -----

The sky over Karvess was the color of rust. Thick, swirling dust clouds hung low over the scrap fields, coating everything in a layer of fine, red powder. Jagged heaps of broken metal stretched as far as the eye could see, the discarded bones of an age long past. Somewhere in the middle of it all, a boy named Grant sat atop a gutted transport hull, staring up at the vastness above. "Same old sky," he muttered, running a hand through his dirty blond hair. "Same old nothing." It had been six years since he'd been left to fend for himself, abandoned in this wasteland of shattered starships and forgotten tech. Six years of scraping by, salvaging parts to trade for food, dodging scavengers meaner and hungrier than he was. But today was different. Today, his life would change forever. A sharp hum filled the air, making the fine hairs on the back of his neck stand up. His hands, buried in the exposed circuitry of a wrecked cockpit, tingled as the old display flickered to life. Then, a voice spoke. -System activated- Hello, user. I am the Star Navigator System. I am at your service. Grant froze. His heart hammered against his ribs. This wasn’t just any old ship AI. Star Navigators were rumored to be relics of the Pre-Imperial Era, capable of piloting ships faster and smarter than any modern system. This... this could be his way out. "Star Navigator System?" Grant echoed, his voice barely above a whisper. Then, a slow grin spread across his face. "Huh, maybe I can get into the Academy with this... Or even, create an army!" The screen pulsed with light, scanning him, assessing. Somewhere in its code, something shifted, acknowledging him as its new pilot. And just like that, Grant's future stretched wide before him—wider than the skies, wider than the stars themselves.
