scheming

The Dance of the Dragons. An age scarred by blood, ambition, and political strife. As Westeros tended toward chaos, the Targaryens’ once-unshakeable legacy reached its breaking point. Born to King Viserys I and Queen Alicent, Baelon Targaryen found himself in a life that he could not control. Night after night, he is haunted by recurring Dragon Dreams. Visions of what was, might have been, and may yet come. Burdened by his fear of the future, he, along with his twin sister Helaena, try to find their way out of the chaos. But where can a Targaryen truly escape? Essos? Asshai? The wilderness of Sothoryos? And even if they flee, can they truly ever outrun what had been foreseen in their dreams? This is an AU of the Dance, with several major changes: • The addition of Baelon Targaryen, twin to Helaena. • Dragon Dreams may be shared between two dreamers deeply bonded by blood and spirit. • Visions may include alternate timelines/parallel worlds Baelon is not reincarnated; all knowledge he possesses is gained through experience or through his dreams. The story is loosely inspired by HoTD: Reincarnated as Daemon Targaryen’s Son, though it follows its own path. Also, I need to emphasise that my MC will not become King of the Seven Kingdoms. This is simply the story of a young boy trying to escape what would have been a life marred by death, betrayal and conflict. All he wants is to become stronger, so he can protect himself and his sister.

ChronoNet: I Accidentally Brought the Internet Into History Richard Neitzmann has £27.40 left, a failing system around him, and no remaining path forward. His work is taken. His house is gone. His mother lies in a hospital bed inside a process that moves too slowly to save her. Richard can see exactly where everything is breaking. He just has no authority to change it. Then something answers him. A hidden intelligence calling itself Descartes offers a single possibility: Change your position in time. Minutes later, Richard wakes in Europe in 1347. The plague has already begun. His phone still functions—but it is no longer just a device. Through ChronoNet, Richard gains access to something far more dangerous than information: The ability to see patterns before they happen. At first, it helps him survive. Then it makes him useful. Then it makes him impossible to ignore. As disease spreads through streets, markets, and trade routes, Richard begins to understand the real structure of collapse: movement, contact, labour, fear. And once he sees it, he cannot stop himself from acting. But knowledge does not stay neutral. Every correct decision gives him influence. Every influence reshapes the city. Every change draws attention. From priests. From merchants. From those who profit from chaos. And from something behind ChronoNet that may not be guiding him at all. Because the question is no longer whether Richard can change history. It is whether he is the one making the decisions. Or the one being selected. New chapters released daily.

Initially, no one cared when Erik ten Hag banned David Qin from the team canteen. It seemed like nothing more than a coach asserting dominance over a player—until the birth of a superstar, the rise of a legend, the fall of one era, and the dawn of a golden age. Eventually, this moment became a defining chapter in the history of the sport, touching every soul in the footballing world. Transmigrating back to 2014, David Qin finds himself being forced by Ten Hag to transfer to the Chinese Super League. However, he unlocks the Ronaldinho Template. Originally intended to be a mere "mascot" signing for Wolfsburg, he crosses paths with a rising Kevin De Bruyne. From that moment on, his destiny is set: to shatter the duopoly of the "Greatest of All Time" era and forge an entirely new, peak-level legend.

In the year 2270, a calamity so appalling stuck Earth. The transformation of the planet alone erased countless lives. When humans thought the end had passed, The Veiled World emerged with its Eight Nether Doctrines. Doctrines of deities who had sentenced entire Earth to transmigrate into the Void realm. Arthur Reed an egoistic highschool student becomes a victim of this supernatural predicament, when his entire family loses their lives. Ushered into the apocalypse with nothing but pain, he is tested of his remaining mortality. By accident he is granted a unique potential, one strong enough to lead him to the top, and that is where Arthur is headed. However His growth is not straightforward. It is dangerous, chaotic, and monitored. He conquers lots of beautiful and powerful women as he rises, especially when intimacy becomes both refuge and leverage in a world that offers neither mercy nor safety. …And his only easiest path for growth. Watch as he rises through tribulations, trials and cosmic threats, using malevolent acts to dictate his very fate. By the time Arthur understands the dark version of himself he created, it may already be too late. Creating the ultimate ability which may require him to dismantle everything he believes he understands. Would he rise to defy the eight deities or would he fall to their universal might. #Villan #Overpowered #R18+ #Harem #Smut #Worldbuilding #Apocalypse #Extreme Action #Cosmic Horror #Undead Author's Note : For non harem readers who are intrigued by this novel, you can submerge yourself fully in this tale.

In the boundless continent of Eryndor, Heaven does not judge by talent, blood, or effort—only by luck. Every soul is painted with a color of fate: black for the forgotten mortals, white for those clinging to faint hope, crimson and red for the promising few, blazing orange for the chosen ones, and legendary blue for sovereigns who can rewrite nations. Cultivation is the art of harmonizing with this painted destiny—through virtue that grants swift breakthroughs and effortless duels, or through sin that drags every step into torment. To rise is to master luck itself. Bayley Lone begins as nothing: an orphaned boy on a forgotten mountain, his family erased by betrayal and greed, his luck thread thin and fragile white. Yet when ancient secrets awaken within him—secrets of a sealed organ, a ruthless ceremony, and a foundation forged from forbidden herbs—he realizes one chilling truth: Heaven may paint fate, but the painter can be outplayed. Cold, calculating, and patient to the bone, Bayley descends from his isolated peak into the shadowed borderlands of the Trick Region. With nothing but a long-unpaid life-debt and an iron will, he infiltrates sects, navigates root clans, and carves a path through a world where allies become stepping stones, trust is a luxury, and every victory is paid in blood. In this dark xianxia of ambition and cunning, there are no righteous heroes and no merciful heavens—only survivors who learn to turn fragile white luck into something far deadlier. Will Bayley become another forgotten thread in Heaven’s tapestry… or will he tear the entire canvas apart? Cultivation World of Luck Synergy Ruthless progression. Calculated betrayal. Unyielding ambition. A gripping tale of a man who refuses to let fate decide his end.

Reborn as Otto Apocalypse—the man history will condemn as a monster. He awakens with memories of a future already written in blood. He knows how the world ends. Heroes will die in vain. Nations will collapse. The Honkai will rise again and again, until nothing remains but ashes. Once, Otto walked a path of obsession and ruin. This time, he refuses to repeat it. From the shadows, he begins to move the pieces before the game even starts—rewriting tragedies, reshaping alliances, and altering destinies long before legends are born. Some lives he will save. Others he will sacrifice without hesitation. Because in a war against extinction, mercy is a luxury. Faith, science, morality—he will bend them all if he must. To him, salvation is not a miracle to pray for. It is a result to engineer. And if the only way to protect humanity is to become the villain history fears most— then let the world curse his name. He will save it anyway.

You’ve never seen him. Only the results. In a world of heroes and villains, power is everything. Strength decides justice. Fame decides truth. And fear decides who survives. Then— something changes. A criminal rises overnight. A corporation collapses without warning. A nobody gains power… and becomes a threat to the entire city. No one knows how. No one finds the source. Only one name begins to spread— Zen Shigaraki. They call him: The Living Shadow. The One Who Gives Power. The Devil Who Smiles. But the truth is far worse. He doesn’t conquer. He doesn’t destroy. He doesn’t even interfere. He gives power. And then— he watches what people become. To Zen, the world is not chaos. It is a system. People are variables. Power is a catalyst. And outcomes are the only truth that matters. Heroes rise. Villains are born. Civilizations shift. And somewhere— an 18-year-old boy sits quietly in a café, watching it all unfold. A faint smile on his face. “...This is getting interesting.” ... Credit to St_Scarface

Synopsis Uchiha Kenzo transmigrates one year before the night of the Uchiha Clan massacre, armed with knowledge of the future and a mysterious system that grants him strength whenever he kills. What will he do? Of course, he will kill — not out of hatred or petty revenge. No, far from it. Because the greatest sin in this world is not greed, lust, sloth, pride, wrath, envy, or gluttony. It is weakness. Weakness is the greatest sin anyone can possess in this universe. The strong prey on the weak. The wise deceive the foolish. This is the law of heaven and earth — and also the true beauty of reality. ⸻ Author’s Note I have a few things to say before this novel begins. First, this is my first time writing, so please expect some minor mistakes, as English is not my first language. Second, this is an original story, not a translation. ⸻ What to Expect (and What Not to Expect) This story will not contain any form of romance or mercy. I plan to focus heavily on killing, so yes, it will include gore and various forms of violence. Many original characters may die, so please bear with me. If you notice any mistakes, feel free to point them out in the comments — I will do my best to correct them. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the story.

The dead scream for justice, thinking their hatred matters. It does not. I have plucked the 12 most dangerous souls from history—Caesar, Cleopatra, Qin Shi Huang, Wu Zetian... Stripped of their crowns and divinity, but cursed with their memories, they are thrown into my Endless Reincarnation Game. World 1: The Modern Conglomerate. The boardroom is their new battlefield. Stocks are their arrows. Hostile takeovers are their sieges. Here, Qin Shi Huang is a ruthless COO enforcing draconian order. Cleopatra is a VP weaponizing desire to close billion-dollar deals. Caesar is a Chief Legal Officer. They fight for power. They fight for the single seat at my right hand. And this is just the beginning. From Modern Corporate Empires to Cyberpunk Wastelands, from Ancient Warring States to Interstellar Fleets... they will reincarnate, struggle, and conquer, over and over again. But I stand above every world, every timeline, every scheme. I do not follow the rules. I AM the rule. I do not compete. I do not pity. I only judge. Their fates. Their cycles. Their very souls. I decide them all. Let the dead shout. I smile.
