Leo Valentino was once an ordinary U.S. Navy major who narrowly survived the brutal battles of the Pacific Theater during World War II. However, after landing a furious punch on his superior—General MacArthur—he was dishonorably discharged. Once hailed as a war hero, Leo found that in post-war America, glory meant little. Stripped of his honor and resources, he returned to his hometown of Lynchburg with nothing. But no one knew the truth: Leo's soul came from the 21st century. Armed with a sharp understanding of modern economics, mastery of business models and investment strategies, and in-depth knowledge of real estate development trends, he began to forge a new path. After enduring one crisis after another, he entered the real estate market, gradually amassing wealth. With his unique foresight, Leo soon expanded into retail, finance, fast food chains, and entertainment. His rise, however, was anything but smooth. In New York, he crossed paths with ruthless mafia bosses, corrupt politicians, greedy capitalists, and even former comrades. Each carried their own ambitions and shadows in a land brimming with opportunity—and danger. Faced with threats from all directions, Leo was forced to make difficult choices between justice and pragmatism. Navigating both boardrooms and back alleys, he began to build a business empire of his own. From a disgraced veteran to one of the most powerful tycoons of his era, Leo Valentino’s story is more than just a tale of business success—it is an epic saga of survival, intelligence, and ambition.

Full title: [The Knight’s Multiverse] - A Knight’s Journey: The journey of a cultivator in a superhuman’s modern world What happened after you died? This was a question that baffled many, with two mainstream thoughts battling each other: Religion with its Manichean division of Heaven and Hell and Science with its nihilistic approach of returning to the Universe as cosmic dust. Turned out Damian Knight, now Demian Mikhailov, discovered that none of those theories were actually true when his previous life’s memories awakened after being knocked out by a gangster’s heavy punch to the head. Now 18 years old with a deficient body, he will have to find a way to navigate this World’s deep waters, where Fighters with transcendent Physical Attributes were merely at the bottom of the power scale. From Intrinsic Superhumans to Elemental Cultivators, a single misstep and death could snatch him again, with everything he built in this new life disappearing as if a mere illusion. Fortunately, his Reincarnation came with three incredible gifts: an Equalized Adaptive Physiology Perk, a Soul Bond Perk, and a Soul Shield Perk. Armed with those three Perks, the young man will grow his personal strength to protect not only himself but also his Aunt, Adeliya, and his two older cousins, Brynhild and Seraphine from this World’s hidden forces, and with some luck it may even help him deal with those new and growing feelings birthed from the collision of his two lives. ‘Choices have consequences’.

Moe, a recent graduate from a prestigious university, is on the hunt for a job when fate takes an unexpected turn. After acing a crucial interview, he finds himself in a life-altering accident that transmigrated him into a Fantasy world. After transmigration, instead of gaining extraordinary powers, he awakens in the body of Arthur Jr., an incompetent king ruling over the small kingdom of Keldoria. In a realm where magic is commonplace, Arthur Jr. is unable to wield any magic abilities, leaving him at a significant disadvantage. However, armed with the authority of a king and the knowledge of modern society he will transform the small kingdom of Keldoria into a advance nation where technology and magic coexist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Disclaimer------- This is a pure kingdom-building story that emphasizes the economy and technological advancements of a nation rather than magic or the strength of a single individual. This is also a slow-progression story(Slow burn!!!), focusing on governance, development, and strategy. While the pacing may feel slow, I will ensure that each chapter remains engaging and immersive. Readers who prefer fast-paced stories with an overpowered protagonist from the start may find this novel different from their usual preferences. Expect a strong focus on macroeconomics rather than microeconomics, as this story revolves around building and managing an entire kingdom rather than running a single business. The protagonist will not possess overpowered abilities or cheats such as system, but will rely on his intelligence, knowledge, and authority as a ruler to shape his kingdom’s future. It is my first time ever to write a novel so to be honest, I use AI(GPT and Blackbox.io) to enhanced/rewrite my writing. However the idea, world building, concept and everything else is written by me and me alone. So reader who enjoy 100% Human work I am sorry to disappoint you, however I don't use AI by giving it idea prompt and copy pasting the result but I write on my own then I use AI to enhance my writing style and making it more enjoyable to read. Thus the writing may involved AI but it is 100% human idea and concept. Hope you enjoy!!!!

Alfred Winson has been living a normal,ordinary life until he was killed in a ritual and gained the all-spawning dungeon system. This will be my fourth novel but hopefully it will be different.I also wanted to add a dungeon core story as I didn't think there was enough of those.
