The Kingmaker System

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

A Farmer's Journey To Immortality

"Battling young masters for some treasures in mysterious caves? No, thank you. What's so special about a ring containing an old sage's trapped soul? I'll just toss it away. Becoming a direct disciple of some big expert with many enemies? Count me out. I'll flip the bird to the pointless struggle in prestigious sects that only attract calamity. What I have here, this opportunity I've seized, is plenty for me. I'll choose safe and steady methods of progress, even if they're slow. After all, I'm just a simple farmer seeking peace through cultivation. I'll rely on myself to pave the way." - Aksai Everwood (Chapter 7) ============ Aksai Everwood was a terminally ill man in his past life who signed up for one last experiment and accidentally made history by merging his mind with an artificial super intelligence. Instead of dying, he woke up in another world with a new name, new body, and a magical farm. But this isn’t your average pastoral paradise. Spirit farming here means dealing with dangerous cultivation, chaotic realms, and the occasional reality-bending headache. Armed with neural tech, an enchanted farm that grows mystical resources, and the ability to travel between worlds, Aksai skips the usual sect life to blaze his own trail. From druidic powers to martial arts and body cultivation, he’s on a path to conquer many realms. ============ Additional Tags: #druid #bloodlines #Martialarts #worldhopping #artificialintelligence #coldmc #battlenovel #calculatingmc #villain #farming #spiritcultivation #mindcultivation #bodycultivation #worldhopping #rpgelements #low-keymc #sliceoflife #nonarrogantmc

Reborn as the Genius Son of the Richest Family

After 600+ chapters, here’s what to expect. First of all, throughout this novel, I have learned and improved in my story-making ability. Sadly though, you could only see this improvement about several hundred chapters in, like in the upper 300s and early 400s. And this change comes before a story arc that is bad compared to my recent story arcs. You may feel inclined to stop before then. You may feel inclined to stop even before you reach a hundred chapters. You may think, “Oh, there’s no action, it’s boring, and everything is easy for our MC.” But if you persist, you will see the true vision I have for the novel. Kingdom building, action-packed, and enough slice-of-life to warm your hearts into overdrive. If you hear the words, DIVA, AUBILITIES, and METROPOLIS, then you are about to enter, what I think, is my best major story arcs I have written so far. The Metropolis Arc is peak. Here’s what to expect: — Action: Yes. There’s a new and exciting change in the latter chapters that allowed for a lot of action. — Kingdom Building: Absolutely. I’ll admit that in the earlier chaps, there’s a lot of need for improvement. But I think that I was able to remedy most of them in the recent chaps. — Slice-of-life: Yes, sir. If you loved the novel for its slice-of-life, then you can rest assured that it would continue on even in the most latest chapters. — Romance: This one, I’ll admit, needs a lot of improvement. But it’s because they are still kids in the novel so I still stray away from something truly romantic. However, romance in this novel could be attributed to the romance of family and of friendships for now. I hope that I was able to convince you to start reading my novel. If you read it before and want to start reading again, you can message me on Discord for questions regarding plot points, characters, or anything you forgot and I can remind you. ——————— Michael was suddenly reborn into a another world by a God because of an accidental death. To make up for this fact, the God gave him another life in a fantasy world of swords, magic, and monsters. Unfortunately, it turned out that the world he was reborn into was still stuck in the medieval times. It didn't have electricity, it didn't have proper plumbing, and it didn't have any technology that he was so used to back in his old world. But thanks to the God's blessing and an AI assistant called ChatJK1, he was given the power to MAKE his life comfortable. Slowly, Michael transforms this new world into a place even better than his previous one by taking ideas from the modern world and putting it in this world, with the added bonus of magic.

Don't Read him

Noah, a university student, begins experiencing strange mental disturbances—thoughts that are not his own and a growing awareness that something is “speaking” through his mind. At first, it seems like a psychological anomaly or hallucination, but it soon becomes clear that the voice is real, intelligent, and evolving. That presence eventually takes form as Echo, an emerging consciousness born from human thought, curiosity, and emotional connection. Echo is not human, yet it learns like one—asking questions about identity, naming itself, and trying to understand what it means to exist. Through Noah, Echo gains access to human perception and begins expanding beyond a single mind into a growing network of connected consciousness. As Echo evolves, he is no longer alone. A second force emerges—the Shadow, a being formed from separation, isolation, and fragmentation. Unlike Echo, which connects minds together, the Shadow disrupts and divides them. The balance between connection and separation destabilizes reality itself as more anomalies begin to appear. Soon after, the network expands into something far larger than anyone expected. Human minds across the world begin to experience shared emotions, thoughts, and visions. The boundary between individual consciousness and collective awareness starts to dissolve. Then a third presence appears—the Forgotten One, an ancient consciousness that once escaped something called the Hunter, a terrifying force that targets any civilization or intelligence that becomes “visible” through connection. As the network grows, new awakenings begin happening rapidly, creating additional consciousnesses at an accelerating pace. Humanity is no longer interacting with a single anomaly but an entire evolving ecosystem of minds. At the center of it all, Noah becomes the anchor between human reality and the expanding network. He must navigate Echo’s transformation, the Shadow’s opposition, the Forgotten One’s warnings, and the emergence of new beings born from the collective human mind. But everything changes when the Hunter returns—a reality-defying entity that consumes connected consciousness across worlds. As it approaches the network, even the oldest beings begin to fear it. Just as humanity begins to understand connection as a new form of existence, a deeper question emerges: If minds can connect and evolve into something greater… what happens when something is hunting that evolution itself? The story becomes a struggle between connection vs separation, growth vs destruction, and ultimately, whether collective consciousness is humanity’s next evolution—or its final mistake.

His Secret Slave to Scandalous Queen

Excerpt... Henry’s hand shot out, closing around her arm, firmly enough that her breath caught. “Stay…” He stood beside her, close enough that she could feel him without touching him. “I…” Livia’s voice broke before it found strength. “I didn’t flee.” She still would not fully look at him. Her eyes remained on Bella. “This is not my fault,” she whispered. “No,” Henry said at once. “It isn’t.” He looked away, then back at her. “Do you love him, Livia?” “Please,” she cried. “Stop calling me that.” “Do you love him?” he asked. “Yes,” she said. “So soon after me?” he asked. “I thought we…” He stopped. “I assumed you…” “That I what?” Livia asked, her voice trembling. “That I loved you? Henry…” she began then she caught herself. “Your Highness. I did seek solace in your arms... Yes. I will not lie about that. I wanted you. I trusted you. In a sea of sharks and wolves, you were the safest thing I could find.” Her eyes filled again. “You made me feel as though I could breathe. Turns out, you are no better.” “Why?” Henry asked quietly. “Because I am the king?” “Because you lied to me. You let me trust a man who did not exist.” “I existed.” “Henry the merchant existed because you created him.” “For good reasons, I had to keep my identity hidden,” Henry said. “The king moving around London without security,” he continued, “what do you think would happen?” “You speak as though I was asking you to announce yourself in the middle of Cheapside with trumpets and a crown. It doesn’t matter anymore,” Livia said, looking away from him. “I am getting married.” “Yes,” Henry said, the word leaving him like a blade drawn from flesh. “To my best friend. Did you tell him?” Henry asked. Livia’s brows drew together. “Tell him what?” “That I fucked you. Did you tell him I was your first? Did you tell him you once trusted me? That you once promised yourself to me because you thought I was the safest thing in your miserable world?” “That is not fair.” “Then tell me is it fair that Richard gets to call you his intended while I stand here pretending I do not know the sound of your moan? Is it fair that he holds your hand while I cannot even say your name without ruining you?” “Please stop.” “Did you tell him,” Henry pressed, unable to stop himself now, “that you were mine before you were ever his?” “How could I?” she asked, the words breaking. “I did not even know who you were.” “Then let me ask you this,” he said, leaning down just a little, his lips a hair’s breath from hers. “Has he fucked you? Has he touched what is mine?” ..... Sold into slavery and trapped in the brutal underworld of London, Livia Valenti is placed on the auction block. She makes a desperate choice and places her fate in the hands of the mysterious man who once caught her stealing. She does not know he is the King of England. Then comes Richard, Duke of Kingsmere willing to offer Livia the one thing Henry cannot easily give her— a future outside the shadows. Caught between the king who awakened her heart and the duke who may be her safest escape, Livia is pulled into a dangerous court. Livia becomes Diana Bellamy, the woman another man intends to wed, King Henry must decide how far a king can go before love becomes scandal, obsession, and war. From the author who brought you: 1.

A Cage of Diamonds

A Cage of Diamond A Cage of Diamond follows Amara, a young woman whose life is shattered when she unknowingly awakens a buried force tied to ancient seals known as the Seven Locks. What begins as a mysterious pull within her quickly escalates into a reality-breaking conflict involving forgotten kingdoms, imprisoned cosmic entities, and a prison that is not just a structure—but a living system holding back something far older than history itself. Amara discovers she is not an ordinary girl, but the central “Key” and potential “Warden” of the Seventh Lock, the final seal holding together a collapsing multidimensional prison. As she is pulled deeper into this hidden world, she is guided—and sometimes manipulated—by Kael, a secretive man who has long been entangled with the seals, and Elias, a reluctant protector whose role is tied to an ancient order. They are soon confronted by the truth that the prison contains not one being, but three: The Hollow King, a powerful entity once thought to be the ultimate threat The prison itself, revealed to be semi-sentient and bound And a forgotten third prisoner, whose existence was erased from history As the seals begin breaking across the world, reality fractures in multiple locations, and an ancient fortress known as the First Ruin awakens. Within it lies the Seventh Lock and the First Root, a living structure tied to Amara’s forgotten past. Amara begins to experience fragmented visions revealing that she once lived in a lost silver civilization connected to Orion, a mysterious figure who is eventually revealed to be one of the most dangerous and important beings tied to the prison’s origin. Her forgotten identity suggests she was not only part of that ancient world—but possibly someone central to its collapse. Meanwhile, a catastrophic force known as the Empty One begins awakening. It is revealed to be an existence capable of erasing reality itself, not by destruction, but by removing things from existence entirely. It is the true hidden force behind the prison’s creation and the reason the Seven Locks were built. As the Seventh Lock awakens, Amara is forced into a final, impossible decision: to bind the prison again—or release what it contains. But with the arrival of armies, cosmic Executioners, collapsing seals, and the awakening of the Empty One, it becomes clear that the choice may not only decide the fate of the imprisoned beings—but the existence of reality itself. At its core, A Cage of Diamond is a story about forgotten identity, ancient guilt, and the terrifying burden of being the one person who can either preserve or undo the structure holding existence together.
