Modern Thriller

An Imperial Concubine’s Fight for Survival in the Modern Age

Hua Yanrou is no ordinary woman. A trained assassin since birth, her mission alongside her partner, Jia Xin, was clear: infiltrate the royal palace, eliminate the emperor, and steal a priceless gemstone. Posing as servants in noble households, they worked their way into the lives of two powerful princes—Lei Chen, the Second Prince, and Lei Feng, the Sixth Prince—all while keeping their deadly secrets. But after carrying out their mission and striking the emperor down, things don't go as planned. Captured and on the brink of death, Hua Yanrou and Jia Xin activate a poison to protect their identities… only to wake up in the future. Now, Hua Yanrou finds herself in the body of a fragile 16-year-old servant girl, her assassin's instincts clashing with the unfamiliarity of the modern age. Alone, disoriented, and desperate to find Jia Xin, she takes on a new role: the bodyguard of a mysterious Young Master. But the longer she stays, the harder it becomes to leave. The deeper she becomes entangled in her new life, the more she realizes something unsettling about the young master: he is reincarnation of the Sixth Prince, Lei Chen.  Why were they sent to this strange new world? What power lies hidden in the gemstone they risked everything for? And when past and present collide, will Hua Yanrou's deadly skills be enough to protect her secrets—or her heart? One thing is certain: in this new world, survival demands more than just cleverness. It requires the courage to face truths buried in time.

My Harem of Beautiful Assassins in a Modern World

In the shadows of the modern world, where power is dictated by wealth, politics, and blood, one man orchestrates an empire of deadly beauty. Kaito Sumeragi, a mysterious and ruthless mastermind, is the leader and owner of the Japanese Dolls, an elite group of assassins feared across the world. Once kidnapped as children, trained in the art of seduction and death, only the strongest survived—becoming legendary killers capable of toppling governments and taking down untouchable targets. But Kaito's purpose goes beyond money and power. The world sees him as a cold-blooded puppeteer, but few know the truth—he is the architect of a grand revenge. Years ago, an unknown force wiped out his family, and the very system that allowed such corruption to thrive must be dismantled.

Enemies lurk in the dark, betrayals brew from within, and a conspiracy even deeper than his own vengeance begins to unfold. As his harem of deadly beauties navigates political wars, underground syndicates, and assassinations, Kaito must decide—will he remain the mastermind behind the curtain, or will he step into the light to claim ultimate power? One thing is certain: in a world where beauty is a weapon, love is a liability, and death is an art, Kaito Sumeragi is the deadliest player of them all.

[BL] Thriller Trainee

Author: Wang Ya Genre: Unlimited Flow, Horror, Supernatural Pesulap Zong Jiu yang sudah tidak bernyawa bertransmigrasi ke dalam novel horor dengan alur cerita yang tak terbatas tentang pertunjukan bertahan hidup, menggantikan umpan meriam yang meninggal secara tragis di babak evaluasi pertama. Pertunjukan ini sangat menarik. Dari puluhan ribu orang, hanya seratus orang yang dapat bertahan hidup, dan posisi c (pesaing terkuat) bahkan dapat memperoleh tiket keinginan universal. Kalau orang lain, mereka mungkin akan ketakutan setengah mati. Tak seorang pun menyangka bahwa Zong Jiu tidak hanya tak kenal takut, tetapi juga menimbulkan kehebohan yang sensasional, tanpa malu-malu memamerkan triknya sepanjang jalan. Setelah tipu muslihatnya berhenti, dan hidupnya dapat dianggap aman dan tenteram, ia berakhir dalam persaingan dengan penjahat besar dalam novel tersebut. Hari ini kau berusaha menyerangku, besok aku akan menyerangmu lagi, bolak-balik, itu cukup menyenangkan, heh. Alhasil, meski hanya main-main, suatu kali mereka terbawa suasana dan benar-benar berakhir tidur bersama. Melihat musuh bebuyutan yang menekannya ke tanah, Zong Jiu dengan malas mengangkat pandangannya. "Jika kau ingin membunuhku, bunuh saja aku, jangan bicara omong kosong." Bahkan saat dalam posisi yang kurang menguntungkan, dia tidak menunjukkan sedikit pun rasa takut, dan malah terus memprovokasinya. Orang itu menggunakan jarinya yang sedingin es untuk menelusuri telinganya, dan gerakan menuju aorta tiba-tiba terhenti. “Sayang sekali. Aku sudah berubah pikiran.” — Dulu dia sangat ingin membunuh Zong Jiu secara pribadi. Setiap hari, dia selalu menyesal karena tidak mencungkil dagingnya, mematahkan lehernya sendiri. Namun setelah orang ini jatuh ke tangannya, keinginan lain yang lebih mendesak tumbuh seperti rumput liar. Dibandingkan menang atau kalah, ia lebih suka melihatnya menangis dan terengah-engah, dengan mata merah, memohon belas kasihan.

How will Arthur implement the rule and tax? When will he put his business and engineering degrees, which he studied back on Earth, to use? Find Out :) -----Disclaimer------- This is a slow-progression kingdom building story. The pacing may be a bit slow to reader but I will make sure that every chapters are amazing. Thus readers who like fast pace and very OP MC from start might dislike this novel. Reader can expect more macro economics than micro economics since this is building a kingdom/country instead of running a business. Also, MC will not have OP skill or ability but will balance it by making use of his knowledge and authority as a king. 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!!!!

Smith and Wesen: A Modern Blacksmith's Magical Reincarnation

"You're just a Nenner! A glorified blacksmith! You can't possibly stand up against a Zahler's elemental power!" "As if that'll stop me! A Zahler might have the elements under their control, but that won't matter if I have a Seigel-riddled weapon for every occasion!" ⬛⬛⬛ Wesen... the innate power within that allows a person to manipulate the world around them. While it sounded straightforward enough, Rouge still has a lot to learn if he wanted to harness it for his own benefit. Thankfully, being a standard guy with blacksmithing as a hobby had given him a headstart in the new pseudo-medieval world that he now found himself in. In fact, blacksmithing in general is an integral part of his new life and the Wesen-filled wonders that entailed it. It was a good thing too, especially since it would be the one ticket he had to get out of the servitude of the Empire that insisted on grinding him under its heel. With his newfound power of rune-like Seigels at his disposal, Rouge will take the Matheman Empire by storm as he builds his rebellion into a force to be reckoned with. He will ensure that his fellow Nenners will be free from the Empire's oppressive practises, and he sure as hell will do it if it was the last thing he did. Well, that, and he refused to live in a backwater medieval world for longer than he could manage it. His modern sensibilities demanded proper technology, and he was sure that even his half-complete understanding of modern science will give him the edge he needs to take on a literal continent-spanning Empire. ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ UPDATES: Daily 19:00 JST Twitter: @ChellyArks
