Steel, Explosives, and Spellcasters

Yin Zidian
Is Magic really just a wish machine? No! In a universe where Magic truly exists, the ultimate nature of Magic must be as simple and aesthetically pleasing as the laws of physics. This is the story of a mass-produced magical war tool who learned the ultimate nature of Magic. But what of it? Just as birds can fly without understanding aerodynamics, magicians can use Magic without grasping its ultimate nature. Learning the ultimate nature of Magic doesn't mean the tool can instantly transform into a great magician. But yearning for knowledge is a human instinct, and curiosity is the primary driving force of human civilization. Even for Magic, which should seemingly defy explanation, humans hope to understand its inherent operational laws. The pursuit of Magic's ultimate nature requires no reason! The story in this book takes place in an era where steel and gunpowder dance together. Here, firearms are on the rise; armor remains the main character; military theory is changing rapidly, with endless innovations in systems and techniques. And this world has something more than ours: Magic. The world is undergoing a profound transformation, and no one can remain detached from it...

Harem With Venom In Marvel/Dc

One day, I suddenly found myself in the Marvel Universe, inheriting a fortune worth tens of millions. A dream come true, right? But my excitement was short-lived because I knew what was coming—just a few years from now, the Mad Titan, Thanos, would snap his fingers and erase half of all life in the universe. Luckily, I wasn't entirely defenseless. I had a golden finger, a mysterious ability that allowed me to travel between worlds. But there was a catch. My so-called "cheat" had a twisted sense of humor—every time I escaped from one nightmare, I found myself in another. The alternate world? None other than DC, a universe filled with terrifying gods, unstoppable monsters, and vigilantes who could turn me into dust if I so much as looked at them the wrong way. With no godlike strength, no genius intellect, and no overpowered abilities, I had only one way to survive—cling to powerful figures, play my cards right, and master the fine art of eating soft rice (relying on strong women for protection). In a world of heroes and villains, where cosmic wars and multiversal threats loom over my head, I must navigate the chaos, build connections, and ensure that I always have a backer strong enough to keep me alive. Because if I don’t? Well, let’s just say that between Marvel and DC, there's no shortage of ways to die. plz support me if you can patreon.com/AZFANFICTION https://www.buymeacoffee.com/AZofficial This fanfiction is 90-chapter ahead and also this fanfic is 90 chapters ahead there

The Storm That Claimed Me

They gave me to the storm. I chose to become it. Amarin Stormborne was born under lightning that split the sea—and the village never let her forget it. Marked for sacrifice to the cursed Stormlord, she walks alone into the storm's teeth, wrapped in a veil she never asked to wear. But she is no offering. Beneath her skin, something ancient stirs. Torn from her world into a kingdom of cloud and ruin, Amarin must choose: Bow and be broken. Or rise — and become the storm they can never tame. Slowburn romantic fantasy. Elemental magic. Cursed kings. A girl who chooses herself. M.G. Loretail. All rights reserved.
