Road of an Emperor: From Hope to Conquest

( story is slow with huge build ups , so don’t expect some fast pase rise to power but full with action and cliffhangers ,starting 12 chapters are small) “He who dreams of reaching for the stars must first conquer the earth beneath his feet.” In a world where power rules all and the weak are mere stepping stones, one boy dares to dream beyond the limits of fate. Born into a declining noble house in the distant countryside, Nerion Ophirein has known only hardship — battling hardships, expectations, and the crushing weight of destiny. Yet in his heart burns an unyielding fire: a hope that refuses to be extinguished. In a land of monsters, ancient dungeons, and towering citadels of magic, strength alone determines survival. Soul Cards and System class— manifestations of one’s potential — hold the keys to domination. Those with talent ascend as Lords, Dukes, and Kings. Those without are forgotten. Today, Nerion stands at a crossroads. With his school years ending and his soul awakening imminent, he faces a single truth: succeed and carve a path to greatness… or be cast aside as another forgotten name. In a game where the rules favor only the strong, Nerion will forge his own — through will, through power, through ambition. Some will rise through might. Others through cunning. But he? He will claim it all — body, soul, and crown. Will he become a beacon of hope for a broken world… Or a conqueror who leaves only ashes in his wake? From hope… to conquest — this is the beginning of an emperor’s road.

Crown Of ashes : The Reforging Of Imperial Russia

In a world where the course of history takes an unexpected turn, a modern engineer and historian finds himself reincarnated into the body of Tsar Alexander II of Russia. Having spent his life immersed in the study of Russian history, he is thrust into the role of emperor at a young age, a position he never sought or imagined. His life in the 21st century had been marked by scholarly pursuits and a deep understanding of engineering and historical events. But now, in an alternate timeline, the young Tsar must confront the realities of leadership in the Russian Empire, with the burden of making decisions that will shape the future of millions. As Alexander takes the throne much earlier than in the historical timeline—after the sudden death of Tsar Nicholas I—he struggles to comprehend the mysterious changes in history. What caused his father's untimely death in 1836? Why is he now the ruler of an empire that has only just begun to modernize? With his modern knowledge of history and engineering, Alexander faces the monumental challenge of navigating the treacherous waters of Russian politics, court intrigue, and the impending demands for reform. Haunted by the knowledge of the empire's eventual struggles, including the rise of revolutionary movements and the tensions that would later lead to war, Alexander must decide whether to follow the historical path of his predecessor or chart a new course. As he seeks to balance the empire's traditional structures with the need for modernization, he must also grapple with his own identity and purpose in this new world. Will the reincarnated Tsar be able to change the course of history, or is he destined to repeat the mistakes of the past? As he faces the daunting responsibility of ruling a vast empire, Alexander must confront not only the challenges of leadership but the deeper mystery of why he was brought back to this pivotal moment in time.

I am now the Leader of a Vampire-Zombie Country!

A Filipino high student from Leyte, named Basilio Valencia died in a landslide but was reincarnated into another world, which is a partial modern and fantasy world with some modern technology. But thanks to an ability called Tech, he still has his phone, journal, and laptop, as well as some pens and journaling equipment. Thus, he can still listen to his favorite songs and watch his favorite shows, anime, and movies from his previous life through his gadgets. Seeing his creature comforts being reincarnated with him, Basilio thought that he would recontinue his partially changed way of life, but his luck ran out when he almost died in a hostile army known as the Vamzom (Vampire-Zombie) Army. That army, which a Demon Sorcerer cursed to be blood-thirsty creatures that are more like a hybrid of both vampires and zombies, was killing humans and other races that had blood with combat helicopters, pistols, and swords for their blood. But then, the army regained their humanity partially when they realized what they had done to him and the other humans and races. So, they regretted their actions and worked hard to save him. But, while Basilio was in a coma, their leader, Ruslan Makesa, driven by guilt, took his own life by stabbing himself with his Blood Sword, before placing his powers as a Vamzom in a box; he intended to pass that and his leadership to the Basilio once he survive and wake up from his coma. And so, after Basilio had survived and woken up from his 2-month-long coma, the army apologized to Basilio and asked him to lead them, promising to be good to all races. Basilio was shocked but he forgave them, taking Ruslan's leadership with his own morals and ideals. So, after that, Basilio built a country with the Vamzom race that is civilized and friendly with his cultural traits and morals as a Filipino in his previous life, as well as modeling the new nation, known as the Ruslav Nation, after the Philippine republic. But Basilio discovered that there is a race called Otherworlders, which he was a part of, and took this as an opportunity to make alliances with them. But will Basilio adapt to this new life in a strange world? Warning: The photo used for the book cover is NOT mine! Credits go to the original owner!

THE FALLEN ONE (TFO)

For a thousand years, the Empire of Verdun has ruled in peace and prosperity, rising from the ashes of the Great War to become the strongest force the world has ever known. But history has a way of circling back—and now, something ancient, something long buried, is beginning to stir. Forgotten secrets are resurfacing. Strange forces are gathering in the shadows. And the empire’s golden age may soon come crashing down. In the midst of this looming storm, a boy awakens in a desolate forest—alone, wounded, and with no memory of who he is. He has no name, no past to cling to—only questions that lead to more mysteries. Taken in by strangers, he begins to piece together a world on the brink of change: rulers tightening their grip, unrest brewing in the outer provinces, and whispers of powers that defy even the empire’s might. But the boy is different. Something in him doesn’t belong to this era. Something ancient moves beneath his skin—something the world has forgotten, but will soon remember. As rebellion simmers and old powers reawaken, the nameless boy stands at the heart of it all. His fate, and the fate of Verdun, are bound together. He must uncover the truth of who he is... before the empire’s final hour strikes. One thing is certain—the world of Verdun will never be the same again. And neither will he. {Disclaimer - I've used third party for translation purposes as english is my third language, thank you for understanding.}

Renji Kurogane: 23 Fragments of Fate and Misfortune

You know what's worse than being dead? Being half-dead, with a sore back, no coffee, a Minecraft sheep as an emotional support animal, and a tattoo that vibrates every time you do something stupid. Hello. I'm Renji Kurogane — ex-cop, archaeologist of forbidden ruins, and currently: unwilling vessel for a cosmic entity with universal Wi-Fi. A cursed envelope, a notebook with the personality of a passive-aggressive barista, and a word that should never exist — Senku — were enough to turn my life, and the multiverse, into a flaming dumpster on wheels. From Egypt to Japan, through the Vatican, screaming catacombs, and discount airlines that reek of corrupted code, my journey isn't a heroic one. It's a classified report buried between sleeping gods, glitched realities, and nuclear-grade sarcasm. I'm collecting 23 gems that seal something so ancient and broken, even Time refuses to remember it. My partner? A god trapped in my skull with the ego of a cursed influencer. My spirit guide? A sheep. Literally. And yes—it judges everything I do. This isn’t a prophecy. This isn’t a salvation arc. It's an existential black comedy disguised as an interdimensional epic. A story where the universe isn’t trying to save itself... It just wants front-row seats to my suffering. So, if you’ve ever wondered what would happen if Deadpool, Rick Sanchez, and John Constantine had a spoiled child and handed him the budget of an apocalyptic anime... Welcome to my story. But be warned: The Eye is already watching you.

NOVEL’S EXTRA: I Will Die at the Peak

(Please make sure to read the note at the very bottom first.) The youngest and most feared admiral in world history—Ravien Duskbane. Renowned for his brilliance as much as his ruthlessness. To him, nothing matters except power, control, and victory. But one night, he falls asleep and never wakes up. At least, not in his own world. --- When I opened my eyes, I was in an unfamiliar room. The first thing I felt was discomfort. Luxurious silk sheets. Gold-embroidered mirrors. Heavy velvet curtains. But that wasn’t what truly unsettled me. There was a large mirror in the corner of the room. And the person staring back at me… wasn’t me. Long, blood-red hair. Eyes of the same hue. This wasn’t my body. At first, I thought it was a dream. There could be no other explanation. But then—pain. A sharp, stabbing agony piercing through my skull. And with it, memories that did not belong to me flooded my mind. The Pendragon family. Noble blood. Yet a child seen as nothing but a stain. Nameless. A half-blood. A forgotten existence. Discarded at birth. Banished to a distant land. Erased from history. By the time the pain subsided, I understood the truth. This was the world of a novel I used to read whenever I was bored. The Dark Lands. And me? I was a mere extra. A nameless shadow never even mentioned in the story. At first, I was calm. But soon, the very existence of this body made me sick. Not from anger. Not from weakness. But from the sheer revulsion of being trapped in a body that wasn’t mine. I reject this. This body does not belong to me. And I will never accept anything that isn’t mine. So I chose to die. Without hesitation, I moved. I drove my hand straight into my heart. But I didn’t die. My breath caught. I tried again. And again. Over and over. But every single time, my wounds healed. It didn’t take long to understand why. In this world, every person is born with a unique, unchanging Fate Ability. And this body's ability? "Flesh, Blood, and Bone." It regenerates endlessly. No matter how much I cut, slash, or tear myself apart—death is impossible. But there must be a way. Someone in this world must be able to kill me. And then, a name came to mind. The protagonist. Perhaps he could end me. Wait. No. I refuse to die like that. To perish at someone else's hands without a fight, without struggle… That is beneath me. I am not someone who sits around waiting for salvation. If I truly wish to die, then first, I must rise to the top. Dying without battling the strongest beings in this world would be a disgrace. So, I will start with power. First, this kingdom. Then the continent. Then the entire world. I will rule, conquer, and seize everything. If I can truly reach the peak—then the strongest will come for me. And only then will I find someone worthy enough to kill me. Could there be a more honorable death than that? ------ [General Content Warning – Please Read Before Proceeding] Dear reader, This novel touches on many shades of darkness. Throughout the story, you will encounter graphic violence, bodily distortions (body horror), psychological breakdown, unethical experiments, and scenes that push the limits of human nature.
