The Lost Vanguard: Billionaire Major

​A thousand years ago, Earth was a realm of immortals who could shatter mountains and command the heavens. That ended with the "Great Harvest." Synthetic robotic invaders, sent by human-descended aliens from distant galaxies, descended to strip the planet of its spiritual essence, suppressing the ancient laws of cultivation and forcing humanity into a world of machines and ignorance. ​Today, only the secret organization known as The Vanguard remembers the truth. ​Stanley McCain was their greatest weapon—a Major with a "Titan" clearance and a cultivation talent not seen in centuries. But five years ago, during a mission that went up in flames, he vanished. Found amnesiac by a simple hermit, Stanley spent the last five years as "Big Stan," a quiet construction laborer living a life of grueling poverty. He married the hermit's daughter, Sarah, only to be treated like a ghost in his own home. For two years, she refused to touch him, eventually divorcing him and stripping him of his meager house the moment she found someone "better." ​But a divorce paper was the final key to a cage he didn't know he was in. ​With a Diamond Card worth a billion dollars in his pocket and an irregularly shaped black box that only his DNA can unlock, the Major has returned. As Stanley begins to break through the forgotten stages of cultivation, he realizes the "Harvest" is starting again. From the skyscrapers of New Raven City to the hidden battlefields of the stars, Stanley must reclaim his legacy. ​He isn't just a billionaire. He isn't just a soldier. He is the last hope of a forbidden world.

Logging 10,000 Years into the Future: the Battlefield arc

Welcome, fellow readers. Here is the complete Battlefield arc and and some chapters from the following arc, 50+ novel chapters in English. This is a personal work posted on webnovel.com only. This is not yet another "raw MTL" version (raw MTL means unedited, automatic, hard-to-read Machine TransLation). Enjoy :) LAST UPDATE, February 22nd: The webnovel is still on hiatus, the manhua has entered the second half of this Battlefield arc. Manhua chapter #297 is web-novel chapter #565 Star Chief Elder. There are 664 web-novel chapters in Chinese on faloo, this novel isn't completed, it has been on hiatus for 2+ years with very rare updates and nothing new since may 2025. The current pace is 2 manhua chapters per week, and 1 manhua chap represents oughly 2 novel chaps. There are 100 novel chapters left, It means 50 more manhua chapters, which might last 25 weeks (6 months). Where should you start reading? Probably at chapter #530 (the beginning of this arc). If you've read the manhua, check the table below to find out where you're at in the novel. The Battlefield arc begins with webnovel chapter #530 and ends with webnovel chapter #579. Here is a table of the latest manhua chapters and the corresponding webnovel chapters: Publication date - Manhua chapter > Webnovel chapter Feb 21nd - ch. #297 > novel ch. #565 "Chief Star Elder ..." Feb 24th - ch. #298 > novel ch. #567 "Twenty Years Old..." Mar 1st - ch. #299 > novel ch. #568 "Unprecedented Monster" Mar 4th - ch. #300 > novel ch. #571 "Stellar Dao's Dark Side..." Mar. 7th - ch. #301 > novel ch. #572 "... The Battle..." See "Where to read? Manhua vs Webnovel, chapters comparison" Chapters 293 to 297 of the manhua felt rushed, as if the team wanted to get rid of that project asap, almost parodic. The webnovel is more detailed than the manhua, there are also interesting differences between both, so you can anyway start from the first chapter of this arc (webnovel chapter #530). With usually two manhua chapters published per week (and a drawing quality which unfortunately drastically decreased over the years), it might take around 1 or 2 months for the manhua to reach the end of this arc. As I stated above, each manhua chapter used to cover at least two novel chapters, but lately the pace was slower. This arc starts with webnovel chapter #530 "The Battlefield is open!" (manhua chapter #278) and it ends with webnovel chapter #569 "Saya's Fate". Another journey begins for Lu Sheng. You can find other English versions online, but beware, they are mostly if not all raw MTL translations. Note that Sheng will only definitely leave the battlefield region in chapter 592 "Out of the battlefield". Logging into the Future is initially a Chinese webnovel which has unfortunately been on hiatus for a while, which might explain the slow pace of the manhua lately: chapter 663 was posted on faloo.com in March 2025. See https://wap.faloo.com/1129789.html Here is an abstract for the manhua from mangaupdates.com: 300 years after mutated beasts ravaged the world, humanity began to lose ground, with only martial arts as their last line of defense. Lu Sheng mysteriously gains the power to journey 10,000 years into the future, only to find humanity has disappeared. However, he acquires the culminated martial arts wisdom to fight back against these monsters, honing his skills to the pinnacle. Armed with this new-found knowledge, can Lu Sheng emerge as the final beacon of hope for humanity's survival? Note that there is another English version posted by Transcedence on this site, webnovel.com, it is a hard to read raw MTL version but it is almost complete; 11 chapters are missing though, in the middle of the Alien Battlefield arc, right where the manhua is currently at.

Hivemind: Tentacle Sovereign

A man from Earth meets his end and is granted a second chance—not as a human, but as a grotesque tentacle monster in a decadent fantasy empire. His memories of who he once was have been completely erased, leaving only faint echoes of his origin world: hazy knowledge of strategy games, biology, and explicit fantasies that now feel perfectly suited to his new form. A psychic remnant from his former self lingers like a final whisper: "You traded it all for this power. No name, no regrets, no weakness. Embrace the tentacles. Conquer." With biochemical secretions capable of eroding resistance and reshaping loyalty, versatile appendages for overwhelming control, and the core ability to **Assimilate** from his victims to evolve—gaining additional limbs, enhanced precision, psychic influence, and utterly devoted thralls—the monster awakens with primal instinct fused to cold, calculated cunning. He starts in shadowy caves and forests, ambushing travelers to build biomass and a nascent hivemind. He escalates methodically: corrupting villages, infiltrating towns, subverting merchant guilds, and twisting the noble courts and religious orders of the Zorathiel Empire. Key figures—sorceresses, priestesses, heirs—become proxies or empowered allies as he erodes the empire from within through strategic assimilation and corruption. Through relentless evolution, he unlocks **Geass Bestowment**: first granting Geass abilities to his creations, then mastering it himself. This allows him to bestow anything—power, knowledge, immortality—in exchange for binding restrictions, vows, or taboos that forge unbreakable loyalty or doom. These Geass pacts reshape fates eternally. His ambition culminates in cosmic ascension: mastering give-and-take contracts, he rises to authority equal to death itself—a sovereign who guards and reaps fragile realities under his hivemind will. This is a dark progression fantasy of monstrous evolution, strategic conquest, binding pacts, and cosmic sovereignty. **Content Warnings (Condensed)** Strictly R-18 / 18+. Contains explicit sexual content, non-consensual themes evolving into corrupted loyalty, body horror, violence, mind influence, contractual pacts (Geass-style restrictions/empowerment), and a villainous monster protagonist. Discretion advised. https://discord.gg/qunVMtPgC For character images and spicy scenes

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.

Its purpose is only to share an experience or perspective, without causing harm to any individual or community. it just for other mindset or different think.

Jaipur everyman's 10M crit hacks transform Karna from abandoned sutaputra to dharma's ultimate apex, respectfully honoring gods while forging legend anew. In Jaipur's chaotic Ajmer Road traffic, Karan—a die-hard Mahabharata fan grieving Karna's canon tragedy—meets a fatal truck crash. Greeted by Mahadev and Parvati's divine grace, he rejects immortality for reincarnation as Karna, armed with the Apex Dharma Amplifier: a 10 Million Times Crit system amplifying every training, boon, power, skill, and satvic deed into god-shattering supremacy, veiled from devas until his chosen hour. From Ganga's celestial milk forging Sovereign Constitution to Surya's pained paternal gaze, baby Karna crit-scales infant steps into earth-cracking titan strides within his sutaputra hearth. Village mockers shatter before arrow-forged toddlers; Dronacharya's doors yield to Parashurama's secret Vijaya bow. Draupadi's swayamvara bows to solar charm; alliances bloom—Duryodhana as unbreakable mitra, Krishna as cryptic flute-guide—while canon curses dissolve in dharma crits.
