Thousandth death of Li Fan

In his first life, he was a mortal who swallowed a mysterious stone and died of the plague. In his hundredth life, he was a hero who saved the world, only to be betrayed by those he protected. In his nine-hundred-ninety-ninth life, he was a demon who slaughtered millions, only to be erased by the Heavens themselves. Li Fan has lived the same thirty to forty years for thirty millennia. He is trapped in a cruel time loop, cursed by the Dao itself. No matter how strong he becomes, how many empires he builds, or how deep he hides, "Fate" always conspires to kill him before he can reach the peak. The Universe views him as a virus, and it purges him without fail. Now, Li Fan wakes up in his bed for the 1,000th time. But this time, silence greets him. The Cycle Stone fused to his soul has cracked. The energy is gone. There are no more resets. No more do-overs. If he dies now, he ceases to exist forever. Back in his fifteen-year-old body with garbage aptitude and zero cultivation, Li Fan stands on the edge of the abyss. He has lost his immortality, but he has kept something far more dangerous: The perfect memory of 30,000 years of his life experiences. He knows where every ancient ruin will open down to the second. He knows the fatal weakness of every Sect Ancestor. He knows which useless weed will become a divine cure in ten years, and which "genius" is destined to fall. The Heavens treat all living things as straw dogs? Fine. Then Li Fan will become the fire that burns the straw. Let the final timeline begin.

Beneath His Skin

Just a heads up: this story is set in an ancient world, but the characters might occasionally sound a bit more modern. I wanted to keep it lively and relatable, so don’t be surprised if you catch some phrases or expressions that feel like they belong in today’s world! ****** ****** ****** ****** ****** Caution: This book contains mature content and is intended for adult readers only. She was too weak to stand beside him. And his heart already belonged to another. Azura Moryn knows the rules of the Crescent Moon Pack:power is everything, and without it, you are nothing. Rankless and orphaned, she has survived on the edges by being invisible. But invisibility is not weakness, it’s a choice. Behind her quiet exterior is a resilient spirit, a surprising bravery, and a clumsy, lovable heart that refuses to be crushed, even when the odds are impossible. Rhydor Drakemire has everything. Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, feared and respected. Groomed for greatness. And deeply in love with the woman he plans to make his Luna. So when fate makes Azura his mate, the choice is simple. He rejects her. A weakling has no place beside an Alpha. And he refuses to give up the woman he loves. The bond should have shattered. Instead, something ancient awakens. Forbidden magic stirs beneath the pack lands. Golden light erupts. Pain tears through them both. And when they wake, the world is wrong. Azura opens her eyes inside the Alpha’s body, strong, powerful, untouchable. Rhydor wakes in hers, powerless, scorned, and unseen. Now their souls switch without warning, trapping them in each other’s skin while enemies circle closer and the pack begins to fracture. Every secret they uncover changes what they thought they knew, about strength, about weakness, about each other. And beyond the pack borders, a brutal Alpha King rises, draining Lunas and hunting power in his obsession with immortality. Old prophecies resurface. Whispers spread of a truth long buried: Only a female Alpha can bring him down. As forbidden magic stirs and betrayal creeps closer than loyalty, an ancient legacy refuses to stay buried any longer. Azura is about to learn the truth of her own blood. And the mate Rhydor rejected may be the one fate chose to change everything. Some bonds are broken by pride. Some curses are written in blood. And some destinies can only be uncovered…

The Kingmaker System

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

My Vampire System In The Dragon World

In a broken world of ash and black clouds, dragons rule the sky and old vampire clans rule the ground. Human life is cheap, sold in chains to dark lords who drink blood and wage silent wars in the night. Kairn is a nameless slave boy in an iron mine at the edge of a dead kingdom, beaten, starving, and waiting to die. On the night a blood-red comet crosses the sky, a dying dragon crashes into the mine and burns everything Kairn has ever known. As he lies under stone and fire, a cold voice speaks in his mind and offers him a deal: live as a cursed vampire, bound to a hidden System that hungers for blood, or die as nothing. Kairn chooses to live. He wakes as a newborn vampire with a status screen carved into his soul, weak stats, and one strange path: “Draconic Bloodbound – locked.” To grow stronger, he must hunt in the dark, feed on those who would kill him, and survive the hunt of both humans and elder vampires who fear what he might become. As Kairn’s level rises, his powers twist his body, his mind, and his sense of mercy. He learns that the System is not a neutral guide but a chain forged by the First Sire, an ancient monster who once enslaved dragons and turned their blood into fuel for vampire evolution. The only way to break that chain is to claim a dragon of his own and evolve into something the world has never seen. In a land where the sun is a rare ghost behind storm clouds and trust is a quick way to die, Kairn must decide what he will sacrifice: his last human feelings, his few fragile allies, or the whole burning world above. There will be no heroes, only hunters and prey.

AURA - POWER OF SHADOW ENGLISH

Aura: Power of Shadow The world does not fear evil. It fears power it cannot control. In a reality where humanity survives by measuring strength, every individual is assigned a rank—E to SSS. Heroes are born in academies, warriors rise through blood and discipline, and those without power are forgotten. This is a world where weakness is not pitied—it is erased. Aura was never meant to survive. On a night drowned in shadows, his parents were murdered by a masked force that even the strongest warriors feared to name. No witnesses. No justice. Only a silent truth buried deep within Aura’s soul—and a strange, glowing mark that appears whenever his emotions spiral out of control. Labeled as ordinary, Aura enters the system as a powerless boy. But as dungeons begin to awaken across the world and ancient energies resurface, it becomes clear that his existence defies the very laws of power. His abilities do not fit within any known rank. They do not follow nature. They answer only to darkness. Guided by ruthless mentors, challenged by elite warriors, and surrounded by allies whose loyalty is never guaranteed, Aura is forced to fight—not just enemies, but fate itself. Each battle pushes him closer to the truth behind his parents’ death, a truth connected to forgotten legends, forbidden power levels, and an awakening the world tried to erase from history. The stronger Aura becomes, the more the shadows respond to him. And as the line between hero and monster begins to blur, Aura must face the ultimate question: Is power meant to protect the world… or to reshape it entirely? Aura: Power of Shadow is a dark fantasy progression novel filled with intense battles, emotional loss, mystery, and a power system that evolves beyond limits. A story of betrayal, awakening, and a boy destined to stand at the edge of humanity—either as its greatest savior or its final nightmare.

Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill

Every hero starts with power. He started with dust. One moment, the classroom buzzed with teenage chatter. The next, silence fell. Students blinked—and opened their eyes in an ancient hall carved from gold and marble. The air shimmered with divine magic. And at its center stood a goddess—flawless, proud, unbelievably beautiful and wrapped in flowing white. It was a divine summoning performed by a divine goddess. Among them was Vritra… and his stunningly beautiful mother. While others received blessings, powerful physiques and grand titles, Vritra was given a skill so pathetic it made even the goddess wrinkle her nose. An ability—so pitifully weak that it drew laughter, scorn, and even disgust. But that wasn't the worst part. Betrayed and cornered inside the labyrinth, Vritra had two choices: die… or fall into the death trap. A death canopy with no exit and no chance of survival, the only option was to slaughter the demons endlessly for months. Finally!! He forced his dormant skill to awaken, after killing thousands and hundreds of thousands demons and devouring them, becoming a broken ability. A dragon? A demon? What am I exactly? ****** White robes. Cold arrogance A sinful revenge. White robes can stain. And in the dark, even divinity can moan. And then there was his mo— guilt in her breath, shame in her eyes, whispering apologies between gasps in her son's ear, doing what had to be done… for both their sakes, giving birth to a morally wrong relation with him. ________________ Absolutely no NTR, none at all!!! No mother betrayal either!!! Discord: https://discord.gg/5Bp6Pb9UzN check out more- https://ko-fi.com/jin_moon Extra chapters based on response I receive, that's all for now, peace out!!
