Dead-Men Chat Group: Winning the Resurrection Bracket

Lin Yuan died. After his death, he joined a group chat. Only, something about it felt very wrong. What did they mean, this was a chat group that only dead people could join? Looking at the member list—every last one of them already deceased—Lin Yuan voiced his confusion: “So our top priority right now… is winning our way back through the resurrection bracket?” “Wait, hold on—what the hell? Nobody told me you could actually win this thing and come back to life!” … Many years later, after everyone had finally returned from the dead— [Jonathan Joestar:] Dio, don’t think running off to Egypt means it’s over. I’ve come back to life, and I’m coming for you. [David Martinez:] V’s already tearing up Night City—so when the hell is it my turn to come back? [Jie:] I’ve been gone for so many years… I wonder how everyone back in Great Yan is doing… Hm? What do you mean I can be revived? [Himmel:] The era of “Himmel the Hero” is already over! [Kiritsugu Emiya:] What do you mean it’s already the Fifth Holy Grail War? Time for me to enter the resurrection bracket. [Carmen:] Top priority: personally stepping in to make sure the Seed of Light launches successfully. Watching one after another of his groupmates successfully return to life, Lin Yuan fiddled with his own increasingly inhuman body. “Another year, and another, and another… At this rate I’m going to become a full-blown necromancer before I get revived. So when exactly is it my turn?”

Kael's Codex

{A/N: Hey Guys, Thanks for clicking on my work! Just wanted to clarify that an average chapter for the WN is 2000-3500 words, and the average word count for WebNovel chapters is 1000-1050. Please bear that in mind when you see a low chapter count :) Thanks!} He mastered science. Now he must rewrite magic. When Kael Arin, a scientist from Earth, awakens in a world ruled by Aether, he brings with him the one thing this realm has never known: reason. Gifted with the mysterious Aether Codex, a System that translates scientific understanding into magical power, Kael enters Aetherion Academy, where bloodlines define worth, and knowledge is bound by superstition. As a commoner surrounded by noble heirs, Kael’s logic-driven magic defies the very foundation of the arcane world, a world where emotion is power and tradition is law. His arrival at Aetherion Academy marks the first ripple in an age-old balance, drawing the eyes of those who would control him… and those who would destroy him. Guided by curiosity and haunted by the whispers of the Aether Codex, a System that should not exist, Kael’s pursuit of understanding begins to uncover truths long buried by history and faith alike. But knowledge stirs more than enlightenment. Beyond the walls of the Academy, forces long dormant begin to awaken. Whispers of war echo across the continents, and shadows move beneath the surface of creation itself. In a realm where magic is born of passion, one man’s logic may be the spark that reignites the end of the world.

Reborn as the Psycho Villainess Who Ate Her Slave Beasts’ Contracts

At twenty‑nine, she was the youngest CEO in the tech industry—NetVault Security had gone from small startup to Fortune 500 in just six years. The media called her a prodigy. Her board called her unstoppable. Her therapist called her alexithymic. Unable to understand or describe her own emotions. The elevator chimed. Elara didn’t look up. Only one person had after‑hours access. “You’re late,” she said. “The investor meeting is in twelve hours. Did you review the—” “I’m not here about the meeting.” … “Ugh.” Elara lost her life that day at the hands of her mentor and adoptive father. By the next morning, the same people who once called her a genius and praised her to the sky were calling her a coward who killed herself to escape scandal. Then Elara woke up. Not in her office. Not in a hospital. In a different world. In a different body. She was now Elara, the Fourth Princess of this so‑called great kingdom—only to find that this princess was an utter pushover, completely useless in everyone’s eyes. No one feared her. No one respected her. Even her own palace was full of other people’s spies. How is Elara supposed to survive this palace battle, when seven princesses fight in the shadows and she’s known as the weakest one? And can she ever escape this place… or will she decide to win instead? … … “Your Highness, please… ugh…” The leash of light around Mahir’s neck—the head of the knights—tightened with a soft pull. His face flushed red, and not from pain. “Princess, here.” Ken, the strongest beast knight, knelt closer and held out a small pill between his fingers, guiding it gently to Elara’s lips. “Swallow it,” he said quietly. “You used too much power today.” On the floor below the bed, three beastmen knelt in a row, broad shoulders tense, ears twitching, their eyes fixed on her with dazed focus. Thin, glowing leashes of magic ran from their collars to the bands at Elara’s wrists. “Please…” Ken’s voice dropped, rough and a little hoarse. “Put your foot here.” He touched his gloved hand to his chest. “On me.” Elara sighed, half annoyed, half amused, and rested her foot lightly on his armored chest. All three of them drew in a sharp breath at the same time, faces turning even redder as the magic between them flared. Their eyes—gold, amber, and deep brown—looked up at her with the same lost, devoted gaze.

Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.
