Harry Ruins A Tight Cunt

⟦The Fallen King⟧ It was a novel that I've read countless times. I was already in my forties, but my teenage heart still craved fantasy stories. The Fallen King was one of my favorites. The novel that topped the charts in web novels. But as it hit its sixth anniversary, the novel that I loved turned into a mess. The once beloved novel was dropped from the rankings. Even so, I still bought the muddled chapters, even though I had to cringe and choke myself reading the content. ↪ This novel is done for. | Reply ↪ Is the author ill? | Reply ↪ What happened to this novel? It used to be a masterpiece. | Reply While reading the comments, that was when it happened. A bright light engulfed my vision. And the moment I opened my eyes, I was standing in a grand hall. Before me were men and women dressed in medieval clothing. The memories of the original body, fused with mine. That was when I realized I had transmigrated in the novel that I love, not as an important character, but rather, a character that wasn't even mentioned in the story. I was an extra in a ruined novel. And a king. Now, what should I do? .... Note from the Author: The first volume would focus on the main character as he navigates his new life and responsibility as a king.

In a world ruled by the elite "Animus"—humans who underwent such excessive modifications that they lost their very humanity—Zavrel Arkanor was born the heir to one of the most powerful families… then fell in crushing disgrace. After a humiliating defeat broadcast live, and the shame of facing his father—known only as "The Blight"—he was left a broken, near-lifeless body. But something stirs within him… something that was never meant to exist in this world. Now, caught between the conspiracies of the great families, threats beyond even the Animus, and a secret with desires of its own, Zavrel begins a journey in a world that shows no mercy to the weak. He has no choice but to become… something no one can defeat. –A.Isaac

All Ethien desired was a serene existence after enduring years of bloodshed. As the Duke who led the revolution, and dismantled the former empire, he had placed Prince Glenn Lancaster on the throne. Now, Ethien longed to marry, step away from politics, and enjoy a life of peace. However, Glenn had different plans. As the newly appointed Emperor, Glenn consistently rejected every marriage proposal directed at Ethien. Without any attempt at subtlety, he dismissed anyone who expressed interest in the Duke, making it his goal to remain close to Ethien. While Ethien fought to suppress feelings that should not have arisen, Glenn relentlessly pushed through every barrier. Their positions were meant to keep them apart, but for Glenn, it was merely another reason to claim Ethien as his own.

It began without warning. No prophecy, no omen—only silence. The world carried on in its daily rhythm, unaware that the stars above had already begun to fall. One by one, they rained down like divine spears, tearing through sky and soil, obliterating cities, oceans, and every breath of life in an instant. Earth perished—not with a whisper, but with a cataclysmic end. Humanity was erased. Then, the cosmos followed. Worlds collapsed like dominos, and ancient black holes—long thought eternal—folded into one another and burst. Reality itself cracked, and in the void that followed, time stood still. All creation faded to black. But from the silence came a thunder. A single, impossible boom shattered the stillness. A new universe was born—violent, beautiful, and alive. From its heart spun countless galaxies, and within one, a world not unlike Earth emerged. Yet this world was stranger, wilder. Seven vast continents stretched across its surface, where green fields met crimson skies, and at the world’s center rose Thronemount Eternis, a godlike peak piercing into a continent hidden in the clouds. Life took form again, but it was changed. Beasts of unnatural shape roamed the forests, the skies, and the seas. Trees whispered in forgotten tongues. Magic breathed where science once reigned. And then, humanity returned. But not all. Only half of Earth’s former population reawakened—naked, breathless, and beneath alien skies. They remembered death. Now they stood in a world where the laws of nature had shifted. Some still looked human. Others did not. Scales, tails, gills, wings, fangs, and pointed ears marked the new races: dwarves, elves, beasts, demons, and beings no myth had ever told. Memories of Earth remained, but their talents, knowledge, and purpose had been stripped away. Confusion gave way to survival. Kingdoms rose from the soil, even beneath the ocean, and the remnants of mankind discovered magic—wielding power beyond any comprehension. Yet, amid this rebirth, one man did not return as the others did. When the old world ended, he touched something beyond existence—a primordial force known only as Infinity. It fused with his soul, binding him to time itself. He became immortal. Ageless. Fated to witness the endless unfolding of this new world’s history. To see civilizations rise and fall. To watch gods ascend and empires crumble. He remembers Earth. He remembers the fall. And now, he carries the burden of eternity. In this world reborn from ruin, the last remnants of mankind begin again—not as who they were, but as who they must become. And he will remember it all.

At Astrails Academy, power isn’t rare—it’s practically required. Everyone arrives with a Unique Ability, an Arcane Power, and an ego inflated by centuries of privilege. They cast spells like poetry, duel for reputation, and expect the world to bow just because their name comes with a title. Ace Dragnell is not one of them. His powers don’t sparkle in tournaments. They don’t come with fanfare, legacy, or applause. They just work—cleanly, precisely, and without mercy. He doesn’t duel to entertain. He disassembles—arrogant young masters, smug nobles, and even the prideful ladies wrapped in silk and superiority. He’s not here to survive the academy. He’s here to make it his. The halls they once ruled? His. The factions they feared? His. The daughters they promised to power and legacy? They’ll kneel too. Because while the rest chase prestige… Ace came to take everything apart—and keep the best pieces for himself. -------------------------------------------------- Set in the same universe and timeline as my other novel, The Arrogant Young Master System, this story unfolds alongside it. The two main characters live in the same world—and there's a strong chance their ideologies will clash down the line. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Thanks for reading!

Cole Smith sat alone in his apartment. Relishing in his own sorrow. As he looked at the rankings of the MMO he had dedicated his entire life into playing. Although his entire life was only a sorrowful 23 years of age. It still meant a lot to him. He had spent 5 years playing the MMO ‘Arcadia’ a game built off the Arcadian engine, an incredible generation that formed an entire world through lines of code in mere weeks. And the world was manipulated as players advanced through it. Cole was a beta tester. Who had obtained a meek Paladin class. The Arcadian engine even had unique classes for every player. But Cole’s was probably the weakest in the game. Even as a tank. Yet he still fought. He made his way to the top ranks, even standing at number 1 for a time. Only to be struck down by a new age of battle mages, classes that were practically one man armies, who quickly flooded the ranks. Once the leaderboards changed, he wasn’t even in the top 10 anymore, and he received an email from the company that made Arcadia. Asking him if he wanted a second chance…only to wake up inside of the world of the game the next day.

The one who obtained power from a ruins in a tower, of never ending suffering, through hardship and self awareness.. Now travels back to his home world in other to fulfill the task as by the Omnipotent Guardian.

The room was thick with the smell of wine. January 2025, Aezren leaned against the couch with wine in his hand, His eyes red like the sun during an eclipse, while his hair a chaotic Blonde framed his face with eerie elegance, hoping not to be disturbed by the screams of people. He was the Grim Reaper and the cause of people’s misfortunes, so it was only natural that he was embraced by screams day and night. Without a moment’s notice, he heard another person cursing him. “Not this again…” he groaned as he got up. He sipped his wine as he watched the drunk woman cursing him from the reflection on his wine. Lavinia stood on the parapet wall with high heels, ready to fall at any moment. Her red lipstick messed up, her skin a shade of bright olive, her hair had faded black hair dye, her eyes a shade of deep green, reminiscent of the forest. Her movements came out unstable as she screamed out, “Seems like all doom is attracted to me!” she laughed, tears rolled down her face. “I’m really not,” Aezren scoffed as he rolled his eyes. His eyes blew into saucers at a closer look at her face. “That face, it’s her!” he exclaimed. “I can’t let her die,” he pleaded with desperation as his “heart” raced. Aezren put his glass of wine back on the table with telekinesis as he stood up and teleported to Lavinia. However, it was already too late and she jumped off. Aezren jumped off of the terrace and held her in his arms as he floated in the air. He quickly took her back to the terrace before anybody could notice. Lavinia shut her eyes tight, hoping for the worst to happen—her death. She opened her eyes soon after she realized that she was on solid ground. “What is it,” she smiled, “Am I in heaven or hell?” she walked as she wondered. She was in her own world. “You’re in none,” Aezren told her, about to crash out at her obliviousness. But of course, she was half rat — drunk as hell. He let out a deep sigh. She didn’t listen. He recited some sort of spell, his index and middle finger pointed at her. Since alcohol has similar affects to being dead, it was easy enough for him to get her to be sober. She blinked in surprise. “Wh…Who are you?” she stammered, taking steps back defensively. “Be my muse.” He asked her. He has been searching for a her for over 4 centuries now. Having been living for so long, he has started making paintings to pass time. He has her face like a fuzzy faded painting in his head, and he has always struggled to capture her in his paintings. Finding her was a dream come true for him. She couldn’t die. Not before he painted her. Lavinia’s breath hitched. She was hit with nausea and dizziness. “Please.. please leave me alone!” She begged, her voice came out louder than she wanted it to. Aezren stared at her, his expression unreadable. “I didn’t save you because I care about your life,” he said, voice low. “I saved you because you have a face that doesn’t belong to this era.” Lavinia’s breath hitched again, her head spinning, “What the hell does that even mean…?” “I’ve seen you before. In dreams, in sketches, in brush strokes I never finished.” He sighed, “Centuries of searching. And suddenly, you’re on a rooftop, yelling about doom like some half-broken opera.” “You’re insane,” she whispered, backing away. He didn’t argue. “Probably,” he said with a shrug. “But I don’t care what you believe. You’re here. And I need to paint you before you disappear again.” Lavinia blinked, confusion and fear wrestling inside her. But something about him—his tone, his posture, the weird mix of detachment and obsession—made her pause. Her stomach flipped. The room still spun, but she wasn’t sure if it was just the wine anymore. “Okay,” she said slowly, swallowing hard. TW: Might include topics or references to Self harm.

Waking up to a world fractured by incomprehensible forces, Elias Reed finds himself reborn as Alucent Luci in a steampunk-fantasy realm where he sees a society filled with steam engines, rune-forged automatons, arcane Runeforce, intricate Fate-Weaving, terrifying Void corruption, and fragmented echoes of a distant Earth.

The gods burned his empire to the ground. Now, its ruins might burn him alive. In the ashen corpse of Draal, where the Veins pulse with buried lies and the dead still whisper, scavengers like Kael Varros survive by looting melted bones, shattered relics, and forgotten sins. But buried deep in the cinders, Kael finds something worse: the crown of the Forgotten King—fused with molten glass, pulsing with a memory that isn’t his and a curse that refuses to die. And in its heat, something inside him begins to crack. Now visions of fire and betrayal stalk his waking mind. Ash-born wraiths hunt him.

The past isn’t done burning. He never asked to be part of the story—but the past made him its weapon. He must wield the crown’s ruin—or be consumed by it.

The forest pulsed with life, the scent of rain clinging thick in the air. The moon hung heavy overhead, a silver eye watching—waiting. Beneath it, the alpha stood at the clearing’s edge, broad shoulders tense, golden eyes locked on the lone figure before him.The omega was smaller, leaner, his dark curls damp from the mist. His chest rose and fell with measured breaths, but there was no fear in him. No submission. Just something wild, something defiant.The alpha’s wolf stirred, restless. Wrong. Omegas were supposed to lower their gaze, bare their throats, yield. This one? He met the alpha’s stare head-on, lips curling at the edges like he knew exactly how much that would piss him off.“You shouldn’t be here.” The alpha’s voice was a low growl, his instincts warring between warning and… something else.The omega tilted his head, sharp amusement flashing in his dark eyes. “And yet, here I am.”A challenge.Something in the alpha snapped. In a blur, he closed the distance, caging the omega against the nearest tree. Heat crackled between them, the scent of pine and something dangerous filling the air. The omega didn’t flinch, didn’t shrink back. Instead, he dragged his tongue over his bottom lip, slow and deliberate, like he was tasting the tension between them.“You’ve got a death wish,” the alpha murmured, his breath ghosting over the omega’s skin.The omega smirked. “Maybe. Or maybe I just like watching you lose control.”The alpha’s hands curled into fists against the bark. This omega is going to be the death of me

Buried under myths, magic, and lies… was a civilization that made gods look primitive. When I woke up in this broken world, I was no hero. Just another scavenger searching the sands for scraps. Until I touched the relic. Until the memories bled through. Now I remember algorithms masked as spells, reactors mistaken for gods, and a war so advanced it reset the world. They think I’m lowborn. They think I’m powerless. But every time I breathe, the past awakens—and with it, the truth that could break this world again. History is a lie. Magic is technology. And I… am the last Reclaimer. — A viral fusion of reincarnation, ancient tech, and twisted memory recovery. Perfect for fans of "Shadow Slave," "Release That Witch," and "The Beginning After The End." PS:- i don't own any of the book names written above except mine.

I feel everything. Every bone shattered. Every scream swallowed. Every tear that never falls." In a world where emotion is tracked by the System, Kael awakens a cursed gift: He absorbs the pain of others — and in return, the System grants him Ruin. The more he suffers for others, the stronger he becomes. But power built on agony is a blade with no handle. Empathic Ruin is a dark LitRPG about sacrifice, power, and the madness that comes from feeling too much. Every chapter hurts. That’s where the power lies.

Heaven-Defying Asura Li Shen is nothing more than a slave, despised and broken, a mere handyman in the prestigious Azure Cloud Sect. Unknown to all, he carries the cursed blood of the annihilated Heaven Destruction Clan, a lineage whose three patriarchs once dared to defy Heaven's Will. This forbidden heritage manifests as the Heaven Asura Destruction Body, a dormant power that renders him seemingly talentless in Qi Cultivation, constantly suppressed by the very essence of the world. His only path to power, and to full awakening, lies in the brutal consumption of demon-corrupted cultivators, whose blood feeds his unique constitution. When his former masters, the Blackwood Noble Clan, are decimated by a savage raid of these demon-corrupted forces, Li Shen, in a desperate struggle for survival, slays his first corrupted foe. This act triggers the faint stirrings of his terrifying potential, pushing him from victim to survivor. Rescued by the Azure Cloud Sect, he endures the scorn of the Handyman Elder Guo and the cosmic hindrance of Heaven Suppression, secretly honing his Blade Cultivation – the only path where his innate talent can flourish. His desperate goals are clear: achieve power for survival, exact revenge for his clan's downfall, gain recognition in a world that despises him, and, most crucially, procreate to ensure the continuation of his unique, heaven-defying bloodline. Li Shen's opportunity arises when he heroically saves the Grand Elder of the Outer Court, elevating him to an Outer Disciple and granting him access to the crucial "demon cleansing missions." Through these perilous missions, he ruthlessly hunts and absorbs the blood of countless demon-corrupted cultivators, rapidly awakening his Heaven Asura Destruction Body. His cultivation explodes, allowing him to easily comprehend Dao and identify the flaws in any technique, making him an unstoppable force. His ascent, however, is not without cost. Forced to flee the ruins of his temporary home, Li Shen finds himself thrust into the chaotic expanse of the Immortal Realm, where the true scale of the cosmic conflict is revealed. Here, he discovers the existence of the Heaven Will Judgment Clan, the enforcers of Heaven's dictates, who were directly responsible for the annihilation of his ancestors and now seek to finish off his bloodline. He also finds himself embroiled in a grand struggle against a powerful Demon Sovereign, whose influence spans realms and whose forces represent the very beings Li Shen has been consuming. His journey becomes a furious quest to not only survive and exact revenge on his oppressors but to challenge the very fabric of cosmic law. He cultivates beyond the known limits, pushing his Heaven Asura Destruction Body to its peak, defying all odds. In a climactic, realm-shattering confrontation, Li Shen, alongside his descendants – born from his desperate drive to procreate and imbued with his unique heritage – wages war against the Heaven Will Judgment Clan and clashes with the Demon Sovereign. In the end, Li Shen and his burgeoning Heaven Asura Destruction Clan triumph. The Heaven Will Judgment Clan is utterly annihilated, their reign ended, and the oppressive grasp of Heaven's Will is shattered. The world, no longer bound by cosmic tyranny, shifts, and a new era dawns, one where the Heaven Asura Destruction Clan reigns supreme, its legacy forged in blood, defiance, and the ultimate triumph over fate.
