Toaru Majutsu no Index

Bhargavi_Shyam
Toaru Majutsu no Index is set in Academy City; a technologically advanced academic city located in western Tokyo which studies scientifically enhanced superhuman students known as espers who develop powers. However, within this world of scientifically developed superpowers exists an underground world of magic and occult connected to the religious institutions of the world. Kamijou Touma, an unlucky boy who happens to be one of the many students within Academy City, possesses a mysterious power in his right hand known as the 'Imagine Breaker'; an ability which allows him to negate all forms of supernatural powers, whether they are magical or psychic. One day, he finds a young girl hanging on his balcony railing named Index. She is a nun from Necessarius, a secret magic branch of the Anglican Church, and her mind has been implanted with the Index Librorum Prohibitorum: 103,000 original grimoires that the Church has removed from circulation. Their encounter leads him to meet others from the secretive worlds of science and magic. Kamijou Touma's unusual power places him at the center of conflicts related to both science-based espers in Academy City and magicians. As Kamijou Touma tries to help and protect his friends, he learns that the people he knows are not as they appear and begins to attract the attention of magicians and espers alike as they try to unravel the secrets of Academy City and Index.

Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

"Now, go forth, my mortal champion! Conquer this world—or else!" I lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving me a second chance in another world. There, I became royalty—the lazy kind with almost no obligations, free to live in peace and luxury for the rest of my days. Sounds like a dream, right? In reality, it was anything but—because I became *BEE* royalty. A Drone Bee, doomed to die of old age in 2 months! (A humanoid bee, thankfully, but still a bee in all the ways that matter.) The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony—a deadly task in a vicious world like this one. There are murderous insect monsters, colossal beasts trampling the earth, other civilizations, natural disasters, and the bitchy patron goddess who absolutely hates me. But as long as I have my brains, my bees, and the powerful genes my system gives me, my Bee Empire will be unstoppable! === For those who want to know more: This is a wholesome comedic story, but it has some dark moments. The focus is on kingdom building, survival as an empire, and interacting with MC’s beautiful bee wife and adorable bee daughters. The bees are all humanoid (see pictures) and human-sized. However, they are still bees in their ways of life and mentality. Although there’s a system, real growth comes from putting effort and time. Nothing happens in an instant in this story, unless it’s trouble. MC acts like an idiot sometimes (oftentimes), but he’s not actually stupid-stupid. When it comes to strategic decisions, he uses logic and reason. Even if you might disagree with it. Also, there will be no smut (ecchi is a fair game), incest, NTR, harem or BL. === Discord is up! Find it at -> https://linktr.ee/Garessta Updates: 2 chapters/day, right after the reset (with a 5% chance of running late). Reply to author's pinned review if you have questions. Also, although I realize the futility of this aim (at least right now), if this novel reaches top 15 golden ticket ranking (and stays there for a few days, obv), I will mass release 10 extra chapters! (within 30 calendar days)

The Blood-colored Iris and Three Lies

Erin, a girl from the slums, meticulously planned an identity substitution. After her twin sister Olivia "accidentally died", she took her place and became the fiancée of Sean Rockefeller, a shipping tycoon, and launched her revenge plan. However, the secrets of two men plunged the revenge into a bloody whirlpool. On the surface, Sean, the fiancé, is violent-tempered, but in fact, he hides a vulnerable soul on the verge of collapse. Behind his family lies a multitude of crimes such as smuggling and murder. Moreover, Sean's emotions are affected by long-term medication, and he sometimes loses control. As for Carl Howard, the mysterious gallery owner, what is reflected in his gentle pupils is actually the bloody iris birthmark that repeatedly appears in Erin's midnight nightmares. It turns out that Carl is Erin's uncle, and he also harbors the obsession of avenging the Rockefeller family. As Erin delves deeper into the investigation, she discovers that her own background is closely linked to the family curse. Her mother, Isabella, used to be the family's mistress, and the birthmark on her right shoulder is a symbol of the inheritance of the family's sins.

In the end, Sean sacrifices himself to protect Erin, and the truth about Olivia's death also comes to light. It turns out that it was a conspiracy between Carl and the elder Rockefeller. In a desperate situation, Erin embarks on a new journey of self-redemption and revenge.
