Villainess Rampage: The Whole Sect Begs for Mercy

Nascent Soul True Monarch Song Wan Ning, only after a tragic death did she realize she was just a villainous side character! Her childhood sweetheart of a hundred years forced her into the demonic path for the sake of the female lead, a disciple who "transmigrated" from another world. Her doted-upon eldest disciple, the "male lead," personally ground her bones to dust. In the end, they even joined forces to slaughter her entire family. Given a second chance, the Three Lives Mirror tells her that if she wants to live, she must redeem herself and earn the favor of the male and female leads. Song Wan Ning smiled gently. Redeem myself? Since when does a villainous side character need redemption? A villainous side character who knows the plot—how is that any different from a wolf entering a flock of sheep? * The Medicine King Sect's legacy is only for the female lead and not for her? Song Wan Ning directly shattered the legacy's divine sense until its soul dissipated, and then she scattered the ashes of the thousand-plus spirit tablets in the Medicine King Sect! The divine beast acknowledges the male lead as its master but not her? Song Wan Ning directly skinned the divine beast and pulled its tendons, stripping away its bloodline! Without its divine bloodline, what's a divine beast but a piece of crap! The sect favors the childhood sweetheart and the male and female leads? Song Wan Ning gave a soul-snatching smile. Then she'll just have the entire sect erased from the Seven Major Sects and Four Great Clans! Everyone says she's gone mad. What's so bad about being mad? You see, when she goes mad, don't the others behave themselves?

Dance Of The Elite

Tatenashi Fujiro promised his sister he would be there. He was five minutes away when the world disappeared. Born as Shin Nobohide beneath an unfamiliar sky, he finds himself surrounded by a family who loves him—and haunted by memories of people he cannot reach. As those memories begin to fade, one feeling remains: someone is still waiting for him. In this world, the roots of the First Tree carry life force across continents. Those born able to wield it command fire, shape stone, and inherit the privileges of the Elite. Those without that gift live beneath laws written by powerful bloodlines. Shin grows up in the shadow of his father’s legendary reputation, determined to earn a strength of his own. But the power stirring inside him refuses to follow the rules of inheritance. Understanding it will demand patient study, painful failures, and teachers willing to trust him with more than their techniques. There is much here worth loving. A home filled with laughter. Friendships forged through training and trouble. Distant cities built among living roots, and places he cannot yet imagine. There is also the Fallen, gathering beyond the places people call safe. As their attacks intensify, Shin and his friends are drawn into a struggle where noble families decide whose children must fight, whose losses deserve mourning, and which truths can be spoken aloud. The strength he once wanted for himself becomes something others depend upon. Yet fragments of his first life keep returning. And each brings him closer to a question this world has no answer for: What happened to Tatenashi Fujiro?

Gojo is a "Crazy Hearthrob" in the Black Organization

(No CP, All-Encompassing Charm, Brotherhood, Invincible/Roleplay/With Secret Identities, Massive Private Settings) ​ Because he complained about Satoru Gojo’s character assassination in Sukuna Kaisen, Jiang Wu was selected by the System to accept a roleplaying mission. He stepped into the world of Detective Conan wearing the shell of Satoru Gojo. While trying his best not to go OOC (out of character), he must obtain 100,000 Impression Points from both the Black and Red factions, plus 1 billion Popularity Points from readers in another dimension! ​Although he is the legendary man who remains "in character" no matter how he’s written, roleplaying him isn't easy, but... ​"I'll win. It's the same no matter who the opponent is." ​Satoru Gojo, leaping between the Red and Black factions, is the Great Demon King who can go shoulder-to-shoulder with the Black Organization’s "Model Employee" (Gin); he is the genius Head of a Shinto family; he is the "White Moonlight" that the Police Academy Five can't get over; he is the eccentric guardian of Kaito Kid; and he also moonlights as a black-bellied, cat-headed Great Detective who makes Conan feel inferior! ​Satoru Gojo’s marvelous adventure in "Conan-Science," now officially serializing. ​The pace of this article is relatively slow; it will start from Satoru Gojo's childhood in the Black Organization arc~ The protagonist is "Grey" leaning towards "Red." Once the official Conan plot begins in the later stages, there will be "Manga Forum" segments. This is a translation. Early access Patreon -mobiusTL Discord - bit.ly/SefirahCastle

The Heavenly Training System: An Ordinary Disciple’s Second Life

Ethan Carter died at seventeen, his life stolen by MELAS syndrome. Abandoned by much of his family and confined to hospital beds, he spent his final years dreaming of the ordinary experiences he would never have: freedom, friendship, adventure, and the chance to truly live. But death brought him an unexpected second chance. Reincarnated as **Xu Qinghe**, an outer disciple of the Azure Moon Sect in the **Great Canglan Empire, Tianheng Continent**, Ethan discovers that his new life is hardly more promising than his old one. Xu Qinghe possessed a Mortal-Tier Spirit Root with a basic Water Affinity, making him one of the least talented disciples in the sect. His childhood companions, Ji Yuehan and Pei Zhaoyu, once promised to face the cultivation world alongside him. However, Ji Yuehan’s extraordinary Moonveil Celestial Physique made her a Saintess candidate, while Pei Zhaoyu’s Earth-Tier Spirit Root and rare Space Affinity earned him the attention of powerful masters. As their fortunes changed, both abandoned Xu Qinghe, leaving him to struggle alone for years. Desperate to reach the Middle Qi Refining stage, Xu Qinghe consumed an unstable pill and died from its effects—allowing Ethan to inherit his body and memories. Determined not to waste his second life, Ethan resolves to experience everything his first life denied him. His plans take an unexpected turn when he awakens the **Heavenly Training System**, an extraordinary tool capable of analyzing his training, correcting mistakes, refining techniques, and accelerating mastery through consistent effort. With sufficient understanding, he can even combine compatible techniques to create something greater than their original forms. His spiritual root remains ordinary, and the road ahead is anything but easy. Yet armed with patience, knowledge, and a system that rewards genuine effort, Ethan begins his journey from an insignificant outer disciple toward a future no one could have predicted. In a world where talent determines destiny, can an ordinary cultivator rewrite his fate? This time, Ethan doesn't want merely to survive. He wants to live.

Princess’s Struggle for Survival

Imagine waking up as the villain in your sister's cheesy fantasy novel. Yeah, not ideal, especially when that villain is destined for hatred, and a grim end in some forgotten dungeon. That's Astrid's new reality. Her old life? Gone. Her new mission? Survive. And step one means throwing the original script out the window. But changing fate is way harder than it sounds. In a desperate move, Astrid makes the story's heroine, Lyra, her personal maid. Clever, right? Except teaching Lyra magic and treating her like, well, a person, backfires spectacularly. Lyra's gratitude twists into something intense, dark, and possessive. And she's not the only one. Astrid tries mending fences with her powerful aunt, only to find herself smothered by a love that feels dangerously close to madness. Even her ambitious half-sister, originally her rival, gets weirdly attached after Astrid shows her a bit of warmth and helps her gain power using some modern-world smarts. Astrid thought she was being clever, building alliances, creating intelligence networks, rewriting roles. She is changing the story, but it's warping everyone around her. Their loyalty? It's becoming obsession. Their affection? A dangerous fixation. Now, Astrid isn't just fighting the plot. She's drowning in a mess of her own making – caught between people who crave her, tangled in lies and affections twisted way out of shape. Everyone wants her, and sharing isn't remotely on their agenda.
