It backfired, horribly, in every possible way. He almost died, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning. "So dumb," the devil voice in his head whispered in disdain, "How more idiotic can you get?" "As far as idiocy goes deep," Lucian answered, accepting the new path of his life, one that might cost him his sanity, "And it goes deep. And wide." Goal: get wealthy and powerful enough to afford more idiocy Current arsenal: blood, sweat, tears, and pure wits Start point: gardener End point: unknown Method: whatever works "The 'unknown' should be changed to 'a glorious victory'," Lucian claimed.

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. You survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self-made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies through every kind of conceivable catastrophe. ———————— I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

Leon Hart woke up in Orario with three magic slots, seven skills, and stats so bad they’d make a goblin laugh. Six months of scraping by as a Level 1 nobody under Demeter’s protection taught him one thing: in a city where gods play politics and Evilus lurks in every shadow, raw power means nothing without people watching your back. When his cheat system drops a Familia Invitation, a black letter that summons warriors from other worlds, everything changes. A holy maiden saved from the stake. A silver-haired healer who shouldn’t exist. A sword saint with no kingdom left to serve. One by one, Leon builds something Orario has never seen before: a familia of outsiders, hidden beneath Demeter’s banner, growing in the shadows while the city’s power brokers look the other way. The Dungeon doesn’t care where you came from. It only cares whether you’re strong enough to survive what comes next.

So, reincarnation huh? "A lot of good... A lot of bad... Balanced karma." "Good news, you get one boon to bring with you to the next life. Unfortunately for you though, you don't get to choose. Totally random. Ready?" Join Apollo in his new life where through sheer luck (Good or bad?) Is raised by an all hungry, all dominant and all loving hivemind who will burn the galaxy just to see him smile. Hi, I hope you enjoy my novel. It is quite the slow burner so I hope you stick with it.

Mature Content... 1996, the world was still analog, disconnected, and blissfully unaware of the digital storm on the horizon. For Marvin Meyers, soon to be eleven-year-old prodigy with the souls of an ancient, -hungry Incubus, and a modern man it is the ultimate hunting ground. ​Armed with the memories of a future where tech giants rule and entertainment is the new religion, Marvin doesn't just want to be a star—he wants to own the sky. From the "plagiarism" of legendary works to the strategic acquisition of the world's most undervalued IPs, Marvin begins a cold, calculated climb to the top. ​While his classmates at his elite L.A. school worry about grades, Marvin is busy recruiting a young Mark Zuckerberg, filing predatory tech patents, and building a multi-national empire that spans the US, Japan, South Korea, and China. In a world fueled by human desire, there is no greater predator than an Incubus who knows exactly what the future wants before it even exists. Marvin Meyers died a lazy brat, but he woke up as something much more dangerous. With the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis looming and the Dot-com bubble about to hiss, Marvin has a four-year window to become rich enough to get his hands on one of the big seven. Joy, anger, lust, sorrow, and happiness are all desires and emotions. As long as these emotions are directed at me, they can become nourishment for my spiritual practice. Okay, let's see what reliable ways there are in this world that can stir up a lot of people's emotions? Hmm, writer, that's good; umm, music, that's also good; wow, Hollywood movies, reaching the whole world, that's fantastic! Looks like I need to become a plagiarist... what's that word again? Right, a copyist. I'll start as a writer, and my ultimate goal is to become an international star. What? You mean acting skills? I'm a Incubus! --- Additional tags: Heavy harem, smut, possessive characters, smart mc, sudden strength gain, lust emotion and desire -based power system, no yuri, no netorare.

Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, a closed three-year senior high school. Homeless time-traveler Kamio Tatsuya only wanted to spend these three years before adulthood peacefully here, just idling until he turned 18. Yet, why is it that even such a simple wish keeps getting thwarted? Helplessly, for the sake of a stable life, he had no choice but to step up and show a glimpse of his true capabilities. Sakayanagi Arisu: He's incredibly capable. I heard his parents are no longer around. I wonder if he'd be willing to take the Sakayanagi surname. Ichinose Honami: Even giving my all, I couldn't defeat him. Ryuuen Kakeru: I absolutely adore his way of doing things. Teaming up with him was definitely the right choice. Horikita Suzune: Clearly, I was the one who came first...

Chrollo has transmigrated, but he isn’t panicking at all... Why? Because there’s no point in panicking when you’ve landed in the world of Fairy Tail, where the danger level is set to MAX! Seriously, how is one supposed to fight the final boss who is immune to magic? Better leave that overpowered mess to the protagonist... As for Chrollo, all he wants in this lifetime is to lay low and live a carefree life in the Fairy Tail Guild. That was the plan until the year X778, when a little crimson-haired rice dumpling knocked on his door. From that moment, Chrollo unlocked a dream simulation ability. Thus, Chrollo began jumping across countless timelines, saving tragedies from unfolding. In one of his dreams, he traveled 400 years into the past and took down the general who had abandoned Irene. He also saved Gray’s family and Ur, and effortlessly wiped out Deliora in the process. He reunited August with Mavis, and casually sent August undercover to the Western Continent. For the longest time, Chrollo thought it was all just part of a dream. Then Irene dropped the bombshell: “Yes, Erza is your daughter.” Chrollo: “Huh?!” Selene: “Chrollo, you need to own up to your actions.” Chrollo: “Own up to what? It was all in a dream! Can’t I cut loose a little in my own dreams?” ---- Novel Moodboards: https://pin.it/7gaZi5YYR This is Enhanced Translations.

A former child performer turned engineer and logistics analyst, he understood war not as glory—but as systems, supply chains, and men dying because someone miscalculated fuel. Then he died. When he opens his eyes again, he is no longer in the 21st century. He awakens in imperial Germany — inside the body of Prince Oskar of Prussia, fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The year is 1904. Europe stands balanced on a knife’s edge. The Great War is ten years away. And this time… he remembers everything. Armed with knowledge of future catastrophes — trench warfare, naval blockades, industrial slaughter — Oskar refuses to become another ornamental royal. Instead, he begins reshaping the empire from within: Modernizing industry before rivals awaken. Reforming logistics before generals understand their weakness. Building dreadnoughts that rival Britain’s fleet. Forging elite forces that fight with tomorrow’s doctrine. Investing in technology decades ahead of its time. But power attracts enemies. Within the palace, jealous princes whisper. Within the army, old men resist reform. Across Europe, empires grow uneasy at Germany’s sudden acceleration. And in the shadows, forces that do not fly flags begin to move. Oskar does not dream of conquest. He dreams of survival. Yet the stronger he makes Germany, the closer the world drifts toward the very war he is trying to prevent. Can one reincarnated strategist alter the course of history — or will he simply forge a stronger empire for an even greater storm? --- Disclaimer This work is a speculative alternate-history fiction in which a modern man is reborn as Prince Oskar of Prussia and attempts to reshape early 20th-century Europe. While inspired by real historical figures and events, all characterizations, timelines, and outcomes are fictional and should not be interpreted as accurate representations of historical reality.

That year, the commercial battleground of the mobile internet gradually entered a red ocean.
