One Piece: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Raising Nami

Release schedule: At least 2 chapters per day - sometimes more, depending on the power stones received A modern soul is accidentally reborn into the One Piece world, gifted by a “mass-market system” with the legendary Rumble-Rumble Fruit — transforming him into the feared “Thunder God” Leno. But he seeks no throne, no war, no crown… only freedom. Starting in Cocoyasi Village, he raises Nami and Nojiko into fierce warriors, then gathers a dazzling crew of heroines — Kuina, Uta, Hancock, and more — each drawn to his charm, power, and unwavering devotion. Nami pouts, twirling his collar between her fingers: “Leno~… you said I’d be your only bride… so why’s my wedding ring still waiting while you collect more beauties?” Nojiko leans in with a sly smile, voice velvet-soft: “Darling… should I start setting extra plates at dinner… or extra pillows in your bed?” Kuina crosses her arms, eyes gleaming with challenge — and something warmer: “So you ‘tricked’ me onto your ship? Fine. But if I become the World’s Greatest Swordswoman… you owe me a kiss for every title I win.” Sailing aboard a luxurious vessel flying the Adventurer’s flag, Leno turns world-shaking chaos into the backdrop for laughter, love, and lightning. His mission? Simple — empower his girls, protect what matters, and live unchained… with thunder in his hands, and a sea of beauty utterly, playfully, passionately devoted to him. 50+ Chapters: patreon.com/Hard_Worker

Two Bodies, One Soul

Rachel Williams died in water. When she opens her eyes again, the world has changed. Silk curtains hang above her bed, servants bow at her presence, and a crown rests upon her head. In the empire of Auremis, she is now Hanuel, the newly crowned empress. The court sees a gentle, quiet queen. Nobles offer polished smiles. Servants whisper behind closed doors. Life in the palace moves as it always has, untouched by the strange truth Rachel carries inside her. Because no one in the empire knows what happened that night. To them, their empress has always been alive. But somewhere within the marble halls of the palace walks a man who remembers too much. The emperor, Kaelith Aurelius, watches his new bride with a gaze that is colder than the throne he sits on. There is no warmth in his eyes only suspicion, calculation, and the quiet patience of someone waiting for the truth to reveal itself. Rachel quickly learns that Auremis is not just a kingdom of glittering crowns and royal ceremonies. Beneath the beauty of the court lies a world of silent rivalries, dangerous loyalties, and secrets buried deeper than the palace foundations. And the woman whose life Rachel now lives was not as simple as the empire believes. Surrounded by strangers who think they know their queen, Rachel must learn to navigate a life that was never meant to be hers—while hiding a truth that could unravel the entire court if it ever comes to light. Because in Auremis, crowns are fragile things. And sometimes the most dangerous person in the palace… is the queen who should have drowned.

The Secret War That Stopped Alexander the Great

History remembers his victories. But it does not speak of the place where his ambition began to falter. As Alexander of Macedon marches eastward, determined to conquer the edges of the known world, he encounters a land unlike any he has seen before—a land the locals call Baghratati, where dense forests breathe in silence and rivers twist like living serpents. Whispers spread among his men. Of a strange blue light rising from the southern horizon. Of an island hidden deep within the mangroves. Of something… not made by human hands. Aranyapura. When a group of scouts is sent to investigate, only two return. What they describe is beyond reason—a buried structure of unknown metal, pulsing like a living entity, marked with symbols no language can explain. But the mystery does not end there. Beyond the forests lies Chandraketugarh—a powerful and prosperous city, rich in trade, culture, and military strength. A civilization that does not bow. A kingdom that does not fear invasion. And at its center stands Prince Chandrachur. Calm. Watchful. Unyielding. He knows the truth of Aranyapura. He knows its danger. And he knows that if Alexander continues his march… it will not end in conquest. It will end in something far greater. Told through the eyes of a wandering Greek philosopher, this story uncovers a forgotten chapter of history—where ambition meets the unknown, where civilizations collide, and where an ancient secret waits beneath the soil of a land that refuses to be conquered. Because some lands are not meant to fall. And some secrets… are not meant to be found.

Levelling Up, I Became The strongest Dragon Elementalist

You live in the United States? Imagine if blue mana rain fell and dragons descended from the sky, lifeless, straight into your city or at your doorstep? Tell me what's gonna be the outcome? Lemme guess; mana fuses into everything, including life forms and the non-living and plants will be like, "I will kill everything", or even four-legged mammalian animals fused with mana begin to grow wings. It's gonna be a damn chaos with a bunch of weird stuff everywhere, I've been there and guess what? I saw a monkey with three asses. Hilarious right? But to me it was terrifying, like, what does a monkey need three damn ass for? But what if this all Mana situation was controlled? What would the results be? Evolution right. Yeah, humans are way too smart to let such an opportunity pass them by, but the same Homo sapiens were devious and selfish; they want all the good things to themselves. In this world, I am Jayden Logan, rejected by my father because I didn't get a great SAT score, but don't worry, I'm a genius. My SATs were low because of these devious humans, you can call them the weapon fashioned against me, but don't worry, I conquered. Eventually, I break through the tough bars of this world of beast taming and gain a beast with potential greater than anyone else's, and I even found true love. But my biggest rival was a scientific organisation, MAGEO and the man in charge? Guess who it was? The United States governor, body and soul. Swears, I was damn fascinated when I realised. They were sure planning something big with those dragons, I wasn't certain of it, but I knew it wasn't good. I don't really know how my story is gonna end, but one thing is certain, I'm gonna cultivate my beast and kick some ass.
