When he is required to attend a mandatory three-month military training upon turning twenty, Rose makes a decision that could cost her everything. She takes his place. Disguised as her brother, Rose enters the training camp with a single goal: survive three months without anyone discovering who she really is, then leave as quietly as she arrived. But her plan begins to unravel on the very first day. General Logan Hawk knows her secret. He knows that 'Rosen Nightingale' is not who he claims to be. And for reasons Rose cannot understand, Logan chooses to remain silent. For now. Three months. One secret. And one general who could expose her at any moment. The only question is whether Rose can leave the camp without losing more than just her identity.

In a world where supernatural Awakening dictates status, power, and worth, West Einstein is nobody. At eighteen, he’s a Tier 0—unawakened, invisible, and easily discarded. In a city ruled from the shadows by gangs, factions, and mafia families with supernatural bloodlines, Tier 1 awakeners are treated like future kings, while people like West exist purely as background. That truth becomes brutally clear when West’s girlfriend publicly abandons him for Caleb Rourke, a newly awakened Tier 1 backed by a street gang. Humiliated in front of the entire school, West learns a lesson the city enforces without mercy: power decides everything... love included. That same night, something awakens within him. ~ The Cuckhold System ~ A ruthless system that offers West a way to climb the hierarchy by doing to others what was done to him. By targeting men who believe their relationships are secure and becoming the replacement, West earns Cuck Points, a currency that allows him to grow stronger, unlock abilities, and even awaken as a Tier 1. Failure means losing the system forever. Success means power. As West navigates high school, part-time work at a café, and a city on the brink of chaos due to newly discovered supernatural ruins, he begins to see the world differently. Gangs extort openly. Police bow instead of enforce. Supernatural ruins spark violent competition. Morality bends beneath ambition. What starts as reluctant participation soon becomes strategy. --------- NB: MC never gets NTRd after acquiring the system.

After saving a woman from danger, Gideon discovers he has been chosen by a mysterious system that grants him the ability to plant the [Seed of Aaru] and access an [Infinite Shop], tools capable of purifying land and rebuilding civilization from nothing. But power never comes without a price. To activate the system’s full potential, Gideon must build a harem, marry, have children, and reclaim territories occupied by the Aberrants, mutated monsters born from a failed government experiment meant to create living weapons. Now, those creatures roam the land as apex predators that survive on human flesh. As if that were not enough, Gideon’s ability to restore the world draws the attention of other factions. Survivors, warlords, and organizations all covet his power, each with their own ambitions for domination. In a world where monsters hunt humans—and humans are no less dangerous—can Gideon and his growing harem survive the coming conflicts and truly build a new civilization? Or will the rebirth of the world demand more than even his system can provide? *** Tag: Harem, system, smut, post-apocalyptic, kingdom building, impregnation, no NTR, no yaoi or yuri, oyakodon.

Ye Feng found himself transmigrated into St. Freya High School, the world of Honkai Impact 3rd. But why can't any of them see him? No matter what he did, they all simply continued to perform their predetermined actions. "Current Area: St. Freya High School... I can even unlock new maps? Let me see... Yae Village, the Golden Courtyard, and even the Herta Space Station." Is this world some kind of game? And am I the "Administrator"? Not only are the main trio here in their student days, but there are also adult versions of Bronya and Mei? Hell yeah! To figure out the correct way to "play" this world as quickly as possible, Ye Feng decided to get... proactive. He went to the office to "discuss academics" with the Herrscher of Truth, Bronya. He "tutored" Kiana with her homework in the library. He "helped" Mei with her studies in the Valkyrie Dorms, right in front of Kiana. He discovered that the nickname "Buff Hua" isn't an exaggeration—she's truly rock-hard. ... After an unknown amount of time, Kiana, who had been sleeping in class, suddenly "woke up." She stared, completely dumbfounded, at the Academy Principal who was on her desk.

The Empire of the Wretched Son follows August Finn as our main protagonist of the story, a young man who is given a (second life) in the world of Centuury after an accidental death from his original world. He is armed with a Personal System that no one else in the world currently possesses. What starts as survival in a dangerous ancient forest becomes something far larger. August begins his second life by building from the remnants of the old Maya Village. From there he is joined by a handful of survivors, turning the village into a thriving settlement where humans, beastfolk, and intelligent beasts live as equals, bound together by the same pragmatic logic that they had built it from: work hard, protect each other, and don't tolerate anyone's nonsense. The story moves between the ground level and the grand scale of things without losing either. Village economics, military organization, refugee crises, and diplomatic headaches sit alongside August's personal system panels, the beast hierarchies, grandmaster level combat, and a slow-burning cosmic threat that nobody in Maya can see coming yet. It is a story about building something that lasts, in a world that keeps trying to make that into an impossibility.

Some people are born strong. Some are born lucky. And some of us are born just… there. Not special enough to matter. Not useless enough to disappear. I tried. I really did. School. Family. Dreams. Didn’t work out. So I ran. From expectations. From people. From myself. And somehow, I ended up here. Inside a game I used to play. The Hero Chronicles. Famous for being unfair. Famous for being impossible. And now I’m part of it. Not as the chosen hero. Not as someone important. Just Leo von Celestial. The human Domain's failure. And the worst part? I've got 40 days until the Path Awakening. The same trial that killed the original Leo in the game. Now it’s my turn.

Everyday was the same for Skullius. An Undead minion of the lowest order like him, didn’t have to find a grand purpose… other than mining mana gems for his Lich master, of course. His peers thought so. They lacked ambition. To be fair, so did he. But there was just that something that kept nagging at him. A spark that no other skeleton seemed to have. Other than being the sassy bullshitter obsessed with mana that he was, why did Skullius vaguely remember being something other than a Moronic Undead drone once? What had come before his Undeath? In the end, it was this spark that allowed our atrocious hero to escape the clutches of his evil master and reach another world. And it is in this world, chock full of dangers – most beckoned by Skullius’ abnormally horrendous luck, to be honest – that the skeleton’s journey begins. In Aigas – the new world – he prepared for the greatest getback of an age armed with a power greater than that of the Liches of Deadmanland! ...... [Author’s Answers To Popular Readers’ Questions] Q: (IHateArjuun77) -Hey author, is your book trash?- A: (Author) -Haha, screw you dear reader. The answer is NO. The story has elements of comedy, action, magic, adventure and Brutality. Like it gets really dark sometimes. There’s a comprehensive story with characters that I tried my damndest to NOT make generic on top of a cool power system that’s for the most part easy to understand. So its not trash. Q: (IFreakingHateArjuun56) -Hey author why is your first volume so slow paced and... trash?- A: (Author) -Haha. It’s how I designed the First Volume to be. It’s a fun setup that doesn’t focus on many things other than the MC’s mentality, powers and route of progression. The next volumes are normal paced, focusing on the world, the villains and general expansion but all while still retaining the book theme and fun experience- Q: (ShadeIsAPervert001) -Hey author, I instinctively sense that I’ll hate this book, when should I drop?

"I wrote him as a monster... Now I must live as him." Carter, a struggling author, wakes up trapped in the body of Felix von Frederick-the very villain he created for his bestselling dark fantasy series. A spoiled nobleman with a legacy of cruelty, Felix is destined to betray his family, unleash a demonic war, and die a coward's death. But Carter refuses to play his part. Armed with knowledge of the story's future and a mysterious golden eye that whispers of forgotten prophecies, he fights to rewrite Felix's fate. Yet, the world resists his changes. The more he defies the original plot, the more the universe twists back: allies turn suspicious, enemies emerge too soon, and the black-marked cult-a faction he barely fleshed out in his drafts-hunts him as a "false soul." But the hardest challenge? Telling apart his own guilt from Felix's lingering sins... because the line between author and character is blurring. "The greatest story he ever told... was his own curse"

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

Survival. A word Kalika had come to learn at a young age from a past long forgotten. Taken in and raised as a princess she opts to win it all in a grand deception to gain a new level of control. This however, would never come to fruition. Shackled to the earth below, with no hope of release. Not even death can save her from her descent into darkness.

Unexpectedly transmigrating to the Douluo Continent, he became a newborn baby abandoned in the wild by his biological parents. Fortunately, a patrol of Spirit Hall soldiers passed by, and a couple in the patrol adopted the infant, naming him Dongfang Jing. Three years later, the couple had a daughter named Dongfang Yao. However, one day, their parents suddenly passed away, and from then on, the brother and sister depended on each other for survival. He was her support, the ray of light the girl longed for most. She was his little sun, the only warmth in the boy's cold world. At the age of six, Dongfang Jing awakened his Martial Soul Shattered Mirror and innate full soul power, and a 'mirror image' identical to his was born. In order to gain the power to protect his sister, the boy repeatedly broke the rules, cultivating the Shattered Mirror Martial Soul to its peak. From then on, in the Soul Master world, no one could help but tremble at the mention of that silver-haired boy. Dai Mubai: "Impossible! He's the same age as me, so why is his soul power so much higher than mine?!" Ma Hongjun: "Ugh~ My Demon Orb!!! He was clearly hundreds of meters away from me, how did he attack me?" Tang San: "I can't tell, I really can't tell! Which one is his true form?" Grandmaster: "My theory is never wrong! This must be an illusion, hahahahaha!" Qian Renxue: "Such a genius must be used by me!" Tang Hao: "You hindered Xiao San's growth, so I must kill... Hmm? How did Ah Yin end up in your hands?" Dongfang Yao: "Brother is mighty(??????)??" (This story involves torturing Tang San and Ma Hongjun, without forcibly vilifying any factions or having them join any sects, but there will be some plot development.)
