Candle In The Darkness Civil War

Reborn as the Iron Queen: Love and Gunpowder in the Civil War

21 century Wall Street financial analyst Victoria Clarke travels to the American South in 1861 in a car accident and becomes the infamous widow Eleanor Van der Lyn-a serpentine woman recorded in history as having been “hanged by the neck on the eve of the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln for treason”. Lincoln on the eve of his inauguration for treason”. She looks in the mirror at her original character's flaming lips and waist, and sneers, “A villain? No, I'll make both the North and South kneel and tremble under my skirt!” Clutching the mysterious diary left behind by the original owner in her left hand (which records the dirty dealings between the Southern aristocrats and the Northern politicians), and carrying the three mysterious “adopted sons” in her right hand (which are actually the artificial war machines in the Southern secret laboratories), Eleanor kicked away Alexander Hawthorne, the plantation owner who tries to control her by marriage, and threw the champagne into her hand, and then kicked her out of the room. Hawthorne, who pours champagne on a slave-state legislator's marriage agreement: “I have only two rules for parenting: teach my children to level slave estates with dynamite, and teach them to turn Northern generals with love letters.” --When the New York Times ridiculed her as a “slut stirring up the war through nepotism,” she took her adopted children to burn cotton fields live and force Lincoln to sign the Early Emancipation Proclamation; when Northern spies kidnapped her children, she backhandedly exposed the gold smuggling chain between General Grant and the Bank of the South, which was featured in the Washington Post. When Northern spies kidnapped her children, she backhandedly exposed the gold smuggling chain between General Grant and the Bank of the South, making headlines in the Washington Post: “Thanks to the arms sent by the enemy, I am now the first female arms dealer and interim Secretary of State of the United States of America.

The Lord of Villains Is Just an Ordinary Civil Servant

For most, transmigrating into a fantasy world is the start of an epic adventure—wielding legendary weapons, gaining overpowered abilities, and living a life of grandeur. For our protagonist, however, it’s nothing but a bureaucratic nightmare. One moment, he was a burnt-out office worker finishing reports at midnight, and the next, he found himself inside Pinnacle of Mysteries, a cutthroat RPG infamous for its merciless difficulty. Worse, he’s not a hero, a villain, or even a major character—just an unknown captive on the verge of execution. To survive, he strikes an unlikely bargain with an ancient, forgotten being: the Lord of the Forgotten Abyss—a calamity sealed away long before the game's timeline even begins. Their pact grants him power, but it comes with a maddening catch: the Abyss Lord, for now, manifests as an overly proud fox with a tendency to give cryptic advice and demand extravagant meals. Navigating this world is far from easy. Powerful factions rule with an iron grip, and the forces of fate seem determined to shove him into the path of disasters. To make matters worse, he soon realizes that reality diverges from the game in ways he never expected. Events happen too early, key figures behave unpredictably, and unknown forces manipulate the world from the shadows. The storylines he once memorized? Useless. The safe zones? Now battlegrounds. The villainous factions? More fractured and cunning than they ever were in the game. As he struggles to piece together his place in this world, he finds himself entangled with figures who should be far beyond his reach. Yet, these are just the beginning of his troubles. The game’s hidden routes, thought to be mere flavour text by players, hold dark truths about the world's foundations. The Gods who shaped civilization have grown silent, and something ancient and hungry stirs beneath reality. Meanwhile, the villains he once dismissed as mere bosses—criminal lords, rogue sorcerers, and exiled royals—are beginning to notice him. Some want him dead, some want to use him, and some… some whisper that he may be exactly what they’ve been waiting for. Faced with conspiracies, betrayals, and relentless pursuit, he must navigate treacherous political landscapes, outwit enemies far beyond his level, and keep his not-so-helpful abyssal fox companion from making things worse. But as he delves deeper, one question haunts him: Did he truly transmigrate into the game he knew? Or was Pinnacle of Mysteries always something far, far greater? The Lord of Villains Is Just an Ordinary Civil Servant is a tale of deception, survival, and the absurdity of bureaucracy in a world where power reigns supreme. In a place where fate is written in blood and magic, he will have to carve out his own path—whether that means being a hero, a villain, or something else entirely. But really, all he wants is a stable job, a decent salary, and a way to avoid getting stabbed every other day. Unfortunately, fate has other plans.

The Darkness Island

The Darkness Island Prolog: "Cepat katakan! Dimana para bawahanmu dan alasan kenapa kau menghancurkan terowongan itu!" sorak seorang polisi dengan sangat kuat sambil mencambuk seseorang yang kedua tangannya di ikat dengan rantai. "Su-sudah kubilang, aku sama sekali tidak tau apa yang kau bicarakan," jawab orang itu dengan nada lelah dan suara yang pelan. "Kau masih saja mengelak sialan!" Polisi tadi langsung mengambil pistol di pinggangnya. Dorr!! Ia tanpa ragu menembak paha kiri laki-laki itu. "Aaahh!!!" pekiknya dengan sangat kesakitan. "Cepat katakan!!" Laki-laki itu tidak merespon dan hanya menunduk kebawah dengan putus asa. Tubuhnya tampak seperti sudah tidak sanggup menerima rasa sakit lagi. "Bukankah sudah kubilang dari beberapa hari sebelumnya, saat proses interogasi dan kau berani tidur, maka kau akan merasakan ini!" teriak polisi itu masih dengan nada kuat dan sangat kesal. Ia kemudian mengambil cambuknya tadi. Lalu membakar cambuk tersebut dengan sebuah korek api. Rupanya cambuk itu dari tadi sudah terlumuri dengan minyak tanah. Begitu pula dengan seluruh bagian dada laki-laki itu yang hari ini sudah tercambuk puluhan kali. Hanya dengan sekali pukulan. Dan wuzzz!! Seluruh bagian dada laki-laki yang diikat di rantai itu langsung terbakar. "Aaackkk!!!" teriaknya dengan kesakitan dan langsung mendapatkan kembali kesadarannya. Sebelum api itu merambat sampai ke kepalanya. Ia langsung di guyur air yang berasal dari atas. Laki-laki itu menatap polisi tersebut dengan mata penuh dendam. "Bukankah aku sudah bilang! Aku tidak tau apa-apa kau Bangs*t!" ucapnya dengan sangat kesal. "Sialan! Bagaimana ini terjadi, aku hanya ingin liburan dengan keluargaku, namun semuanya hancur saat kami memasuki sebuah terowongan yang tiba-tiba saja meledak. Gara-gara kalian! Gara-gara kalian adikku dan ayahku mati di dalam terowongan itu! Aku dengan ini bersumpah. Bahwa aku akan menemukan dalang atas semua ini! Dan membalas dendam akan keluargaku!!" teriaknya di dalam hati yang langsung meronta dengan sangat kuat. Dari arah dinding sebelah kiri, tiba-tiba saja sebuah peluru bius di tembakan. Peluru itu langsung mengenai tangan kanan laki-laki itu. Yang secara perlahan membuatnya pingsan. Coming soon~ ~Higashi.
