They called him a hero. Then they beheaded him. After thirty years of fighting for the kingdom, he was sold for peace. His wife. His children. His army. All died in vain. But death was not the end. He returned. And this time-he would not save the kingdom. He would build something more terrible than war itself. A chimera. And the world would learn... that betrayal has a price.

Do you know how an empire dies? I do. I spent 186 hours watching it happen. Narco Empire: 1976-1993 was supposed to end with Pablo Valderrama dead and the Medellín Cartel destroyed. I cleared the game. Then I clicked CONTINUE. In my old life, I was a twenty-seven-year-old Korean gamer. Now I'm Santiago Valderrama, the eighteen-year-old son of a dead cartel boss, waking up in Medellín only hours after everything his father built began collapsing. Police are hunting me. Rivals are tearing apart what remains. Former allies are stealing anything they can reach. The men around me have no reason to follow a sheltered teenager. Worse, I barely speak Spanish. All I have is a System, 186 hours of knowledge about how this world is supposed to unfold, and one increasingly obvious problem: Every decision I make changes the future I remember. If I want to live, I have to rebuild an empire the world has already declared dead. Not as Pablo Valderrama's son. As the next Patrón. What to Expect: - Strategic weak-to-strong progression - Crime empire-building - A System with ranks, missions, CP, upgrades, and recruitment - Competent allies and enemies with their own agendas - Strategy, negotiation, business, and information warfare alongside action - Slow-burn romance later. No harem.

Aarohi Malhotra survived the accident that shattered her world - but surviving was never the same as living. Behind her cold silence and carefully built walls hides a girl haunted by forgotten memories, trauma, fear, and emotions she no longer knows how to face. To the world, she appears strong, intelligent, and untouchable. But beneath that control lives a loneliness she quietly carries every day. Then Arjun Sharma enters her life. What begins with misunderstandings and hatred slowly turns into something far deeper - a love built on patience, understanding, and staying beside someone even when they are falling apart. Because sometimes healing does not come from fixing a person. Sometimes, it comes from simply having someone who refuses to leave. But the past Aarohi buried long ago refuses to stay hidden. As forgotten memories slowly begin to surface, her life turns into a dangerous psychological maze filled with secrets, manipulation, obsession, betrayal, emotional conflicts, and truths powerful enough to destroy everything around her. Yet this story is not only about Aarohi. Every character carries their own fears, wounds, insecurities, coping mechanisms, and silent battles. Through different relationships and perspectives, the story explores trauma, healing, attachment, emotional struggles, and the complicated reality of human emotions - because people are rarely simply "right" or "wrong." Sometimes, they are just trying to survive life in the only way they know how to.

I never asked to be a hero. But I sure as hell never asked to be the final boss. One minute, I was a normal college student.

Build an infinite fortress of monsters and traps to crush the heroes who come for glory. Forget saving the world-I'm the villain they fear. The heroes are coming. My dungeon is hungry.

His life is mint tea, rejection emails, and free kicks on a dusty lot in Derb Sultan. Until one perfect free kick rips open the sky. Mid-air, his football stops spinning.

The post-WWIII balance of power in Japan is maintained by the Seven Overlord Clans, whose greed and corruption destroyed Kazuki and Mizuki's family. Secretly hailing from the Tachibana Clan, the two siblings are determined to restore a long-forgotten standard of justice. Their approach is strictly pragmatic: high-minded ideals mean nothing without the power to enforce them, and any tactical lever is fair game if it protects the innocent. Magic, a volatile mass-based energy that runs parallel to physics, defines the modern era. As such, Magic Prestige Academy stands as the premier institution for Clans to project their influence through elite student proxies. To dismantle the networks that exploit the powerless, Kazuki and Mizuki enroll under false identities, posing as mediocre students while quietly mapping alliances and consolidating power from within. But as campus conflicts constantly threaten exposure, remaining hidden becomes a high-stakes game of calculated intervention.

In a world where strength determines the fate of nations and powerful dynasties survive by consuming weaker rivals, every prince of Great Qin must leave the imperial capital at eighteen to govern a fief of his own. Ying Chen, a transmigrator reborn as the empire's sixth prince, expects nothing more than a difficult life far from the center of power. Then, only days before his departure, a mysterious system awakens. By completing its missions, he can obtain rewards capable of reshaping the balance of the entire realm-an unrivaled cultivation art, one hundred thousand elite White Horse cavalry, and legendary strategists and warriors drawn from history and myth. What begins as a remote fief soon becomes a gathering place for mighty generals and unstoppable armies. The overlooked sixth prince gradually acquires enough power to decide the future of Great Qin itself. With rival factions scheming inside the imperial court and hostile dynasties closing in from beyond its borders, Ying Chen has no intention of remaining an obedient regional prince. He will command his legions, crush every enemy in his path, seize the throne, and forge Great Qin into an empire built to outlast the ages.

The 80th games have arrived with it only being the 5th revised games, Cato, Clove, Marvel and Glimmer prepare to go into the arena with more going on than it seems. Their mentors (Cashmere, Gloss, Enobaria and Brutus are worried fairly quickly when some secrets are revealed.

At St. Anselm University, four brilliant students are drawn together by a seminar that was never supposed to matter this much. Dev Sharma sees systems and power before anyone else, Jun Shen trusts probabilities more than certainty, Theo Hart can read a room almost as easily as a confession, and Ryan Vaughn meets every challenge with stubbornness, sarcasm, and a refusal to be controlled. When a false accusation becomes the first move in something far larger, the four find themselves pulled into a chain of hidden experiments, altered records, missing students, institutional secrets, and carefully engineered choices designed to expose their weaknesses as much as their strengths. Guided and sometimes hindered, they must decide not only who is manipulating them, but how far intelligence can be trusted when ambition, loyalty, fear, and pride begin shaping the evidence. In a game where every answer creates another question, surviving may depend on seeing not just the next move, but four moves ahead.

Three monsters of intellect. One academy. And a battle for supremacy that will leave even the victor questioning whether they ever truly won. Madarame Baku. Kiruma Souichi. Ayanokōji Kiyotaka. When three of the most formidable minds enter Advanced Nurturing High School, its carefully constructed hierarchy becomes the stage for a conflict unlike anything the institution was designed to contain. Baku, who turns uncertainty into opportunity. Souichi, whose precision makes even the smallest detail dangerous. Ayanokōji, who sees people and systems as pieces of a much larger calculation. Three minds, each with their own philosophy of victory. None willing to concede superiority. None guaranteed to be right. Across three years of special examinations, psychological warfare, shifting alliances, and calculated betrayals, the three will test not only each other's intelligence, but the very methods through which they understand the world. Because against an ordinary opponent, a mistake can cost you a victory. Against someone who understands how you think, it can cost you everything.

Two alliances, comprised of four major political entities and countless smaller nations, have been locked in a protracted war for years, neither able to gain a decisive advantage. As time passes and two brilliant commanders emerge, the situation changes, and Earth is finally drawn into this chaotic conflict. Dazzling high technology, artificial intelligence, life-saving drugs, gene therapy, and surreal games, accompanied by the looming shadow of interstellar war-is this a trap or a new beginning? The choice rests in the hands of every Earthling. Some are doubtful, some are opposed, and some are filled with anticipation. Regardless, a new chapter has begun. Can Earth integrate into interstellar civilization? How will it face the impending war? This is pure science fiction, not a wish-fulfillment story. There are no cheat codes, no time travel, no monster-slaying or leveling up, no harem, and no single male and female protagonist. Instead, it features multiple storylines. This work is merely a speculation about various future political systems and lifestyles. The descriptions of interstellar war are simply my own imagination and may differ from readers' expectations. I have tried to measure future warfare according to current laws of physics; of course, there are no outdated weapons like laser swords or fantastical weapons like two-dimensional foils. Beyond war and technology, this book explores various aspects of human nature: greed, fear, lust, power... It also features futuristic love, brotherhood, human-machine relationships, and clone romances... as well as international strategies and conspiracies. I hope you enjoy this book.

Yoichi Nagumo has spent more time learning how to kill, deceive, and survive than living like a normal fifteen-year-old. After one mission too many, his organization makes an unusual decision: no assassinations, no intelligence work, and no assignments for the next three years. Instead, Nagumo is sent to Japan's prestigious Advanced Nurturing High School with one simple objective- live like an ordinary teenager. To Nagumo, it sounds like a three-year vacation. Go to class. Make friends. Enjoy school life. Easy enough. But ANHS is anything but ordinary. Behind its perfect reputation lies a closed system ruled by points, competition, manipulation, and students willing to use almost anything to reach Class A. And as Nagumo enters Class B with his usual smile, he soon discovers something unexpected: assassins aren't the only people who know how to hide their true selves. For someone who has built his life around deception, perhaps the most dangerous game of all is learning who he can actually trust. A Sakamoto Days × Classroom of the Elite crossover.
