Citizen An American Maupassant

Having traveled to America in the year 1862, this was the beginning of a dream, the finest of times. What constitutes a true master of success? Having some notable descendants hardly counts for anything. To build an Oil Empire alongside Rockefeller To place Carnegie on the throne of the steel magnate To help Ford propel the industrialization of automobiles worldwide To lead Edison to monopolize the future of the electrical industry To be an Angel Investor for Morgan's capital Hear this, applause!

"Compassion. Tell me, what is compassion? Is it a virtue? Or a weakness? A sign of naivety, or wisdom? Or is it one of those ideals that treads the line of ruin and preservation, an unfathomable ideal who's understanding surpasses the mortal mind; only being truly understood by the gods. Mortals struggle with it, wielding compassion like a sword from which they use by holding its blade not handle..." Growing up Reshi never lived a good life. His life had either been bad or worse, or sometimes just bad waiting to happen. Then life decided to crank it up a notch. His family died. Then he died. Then he got slapped by a deity and wacked into the world of his new favourite novel. Here perhaps you maybe thinking he was living a life of riches. Was he the main character? Was he living a life of riches and joy? Was he gifted cheats and powers beyond belief? Was he a cool extra, loved by others and leading a simple life, only being unfortunately dragged into the plotline due to his outstanding moral. Well, partially. He definitely wasn't loved. Not when he transmigrated into the body of Arthur Gravewalker. The Son of the Duke on the modern world of Pandora where humans settled after leaving Earth hundreds of years ago. He was a minor antagonist, not even one that appeared in the main story, with at least a couple of chapters outlining his villainous ways! No, he was some antagonist used to spice up the past of one of the main cast during a flashback scene in the book. So peace was a thing Reshi wouldn't find even in this life. No, he'd have to work for it. Fight for it, give everything he had to suffer and claw to strength, so that finally. He might actually be able to live in peace.

Once the brightest star, Yun Chen lost everything after an accident. He witnessed both the best and worst of those around him, eventually seeking solace in virtual reality games that simulated an ancient cultivation world. In the game, he became the leader of a clan, a master in every field, and a warrior who bravely fought against the hordes of zombies and demons that ravaged the land. He ranked first on all the leaderboards and was worshipped as a god. However, even the greatest heroes must face death. But Yun Chen remained calm. He did everything he wanted to do and even planned his death so he could be reborn as an NPC in his beloved game… huh? NPC? Oh well, it’s not that bad. Create quests, gain prestige, influence, and reputation, and then plan everything from behind. Starting from scratch in an apocalyptic world? Well, he’s already fought zombies and demons, so a couple more ghosts, human betrayals, and political strife won’t hurt him. The hardest part was definitely wasting time cultivating, but he found a way around it without paying more... In the end, Feng Rui did get a couple of nice perks and rare treasures...

"So... well... I died as it seems? Then I woke up as a character from an online science fiction game... And the craziest thing was that I was in my personal spaceship...

The doctor's frantic shouts faded into a muffled blur. Then, nothing. I thought I was dead. But… pain? I felt pain! My eyes jolted open, taking in the unfamiliar yet strangely familiar room. "Weird, where am I?" An interface blinked to life before me: [You are blessed by destiny.] [You have gained access to the system.] [Loading 1%... 2%... 3%... 100%] [Accessing memories of previous owner] Memories flooded my mind—someone else's life, someone else's secrets, leaving me reeling with confusion and a strange sense of displacement. Wait, this person is... an Extra?! [System activated] [Objective: Conquer the Ascension Tower]. What did "blessed by destiny" even mean, and what was the Ascension Tower?

Hanzou Zankoku, a 16-year-old determined to be the strongest in a realm of magic and monsters, had seen something strange. Something that seemed out of place. Me, starving and on the verge of death, glimpsed a strange figure in my dream world. He seemed familiar, but he was someone that I had never seen. ... "Don't give up." He encouraged me without context, and though I had never heard those words before, my morale improved slightly. But, when I had lots of questions to ask, my dreamlike world started to collapse. I woke up, gasping in exhaustion as I gripped my chest tightly. Instead of birds chirping outside my window, the first sound I heard was a bell chime. !!! Suddenly, a system-like window showed up in front of me. [You are an anomaly.] "What?" [You weren't supposed to exist in this world today. You weren't supposed to interact with that person.] "What does this thing mean? Am I hallucinating now that I'm about to starve?" [This world has a set storyline. You are a threat to the balance in this world.] Can Hanzou survive this world, supposedly a story, all while knowing its future events? Or will he die trying trying to live in this world as an anomaly, one that wasn't supposed to exist?

Completed! =) Healing is not just healing, it is also politics. Edwin had heard it all, had repeated it time and time again. He did not want to accept those words. They were vile, they were poisonous. A necromancer such as himself had no right to become a healer, he still did his best. An altruist like him had no place in the service of the king as Boliarin. He still refused to give up the title, for fear that someone else would take it, and plunge Duria into chaos. All his life, he had played by the rules. Even when he suffered losses, even when he believed he could not look himself in the mirror. Everyone has a breaking point. Edwin did not lie to himself. He was calm, but not sane. The camel's back had long since been broken. And yet, when his ray of moonlight, the vampire Hadrian, offered to travel with him, Edwin agreed. He lets himself pretend he was good, hoping he might lie to himself one of those days. Would Harry be enough to stop him from darkening the world? Or would he end up just another villain, who had once been bright-eyed and hopeful? The story is complete, and has 109 chapters in total, around 1k each.

A fast-paced story of assassination picking off his adversaries and leaders one by one. How he attained a fearful reputation, worry not, because we’re cutting to the core of the issue with an insight into the real assassin's code. What’s more, a hallmark of the killings was made public as possible so as to sow maximum fear, overwhelmingly ending in the assassin’s death. He turned himself into a calculating machine, an extremely terrifying assassin that would give nightmares to the enemies and feared by the underworld including the SAS, CIA, and M16 Government. Of course, this was no trivial task requiring both skill and training. The greatest benefit of becoming a skilled fighter was mentored by two elderly couples who were not in this world that has unimaginable power of life forces. A true story with fantasy. Let’s rock on….

Ye Mumu found that the ancestral vase in her home could magically connect to the ancient times two thousand years ago. So she met an ancient young general. The general guarded the important city on the border and was surrounded by 300,000 barbarian troops. There was a severe drought, the riverbed dried up, and 200,000 people starved to death, leaving only 80,000 people. With nowhere to go, the general and the people of the city could only wait to die passively! He begged the gods for water and food, hoping that the people would survive. Ye Mumu waved her hand and approved it! She hoarded a large amount of supplies to feed the soldiers and the people. Steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, and meat sandwiches... every day is different, giving the ancients a little shock of modern food. Sending military books, hoarding food to recruit soldiers, building factory arsenals... giving the ancients a little shock of modern military. When she was deceived, the inherited family business faced bankruptcy. To repay her kindness, the general gave her a lot of money, paintings, antiques, and porcelain... With antiques, she saved the family business, became the richest woman, and reached the peak of her life! The general relied on Ye Mumu to provide modern military equipment to conquer the barbarians, recover the nine states, pacify the six kingdoms, and unify the world. He promised to build a temple for her and worship her for generations. The general sent a marriage certificate: With the mountains and rivers as a witness, I look forward to meeting you when the sea is clear and the river is calm. Under the marriage certificate is a phoenix crown and bridal robe. What a good young general, so this is what you are thinking!

In a world of unknown horrors and nightmares, one man walks through it all without purpose, uncovering the various mysteries and unsettling truths hidden from the view of the masses.

"In a world where even the shadows have stories to tell, I discovered that the forgotten can wield the mightiest tales" ______________________ I, an ordinary reader of the world's greatest series, found myself entrapped in its world after a seemingly ordinary sleep. "Why am I in this goddamn world? Especially in the body of this guy?" I was now Class A's most overlooked figure—Arthur Nightingale. A magic swordsman who managed to rank 8 among the first years. A character no more than an extra. But I could live a nice life with the talent this body has and my own knowledge right? Or so I thought. "This was the only way," the voice said once more, "This was the only way she could be stopped." Who knew just how special Arthur Nightingale was and where this journey will take me... https://discord.gg/FK9GfrSjtb Patreon (total of 24 chaps ahead): https://patreon.com/WhiteDeath16?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink

Still getting frequent death threats from the Blood Lord, Rey Reed Smith was forced to abandon his friend and loved one in the Middle Land and embark on the Blood Lord’s quest. As much as Rey didn't want to do the Blood Lord's bidding, he had no choice because the man now had access to his soul. For starters, Rey was killed during the war against Dylan Knoll, and his spirit went straight to the underworld, forcing him to lose his Alpha and Hellhound powers. In the underworld realm, the Blood Lord forced Rey Reed Smith to drink from the water in his fountain, granting him special powers, speed, reflexes, and the ability to read minds. This water took away Alpha Rey’s power, making the Blood Lord have absolute control over Rey’s soul and life. The blood lord forcefully trained Rey, drilled all his skills into his body, and made him a great fighter. Did he do this to send Rey back to the middleland so he could create a breach between the world of the living and the underworld?

Sometimes, we all have those untold stories or secrets. We may have that someone or something close to our heart, though they are not with us for eternity. but we are obsessed with them. We tried to explain others or sometimes to ourselves too but, something usually remained incomplete. Though in our heart we know the reality. We may love or hate it, but one thing is for sure we can never ever get over with it. This is the way how stories used to be with us since the beginning.
