In the flourishing kingdom of Alenthara, the people worship Alentharcia, Goddess of Abundance — she who turns battlefields to orchards and famine to feast. But behind the cathedral's golden altars, the ancient Mother Reverend guards a dying truth: the goddess's power is fading, her true nature buried beneath centuries of hollow ritual. Serena, a quiet and emotionless young nun raised as an orphan within the sacred halls, has never known desire, fear, or even curiosity. It is this strange stillness within her that draws the eye of the Mother Reverend, who has served as the goddess's voice for over two centuries — and who knows her time is nearly over. As Alric, a loyal knight from the distant blood-soaked frontiers, arrives in the capital, fate begins to move. And far above them all, the enigmatic and wild Crown Prince watches Serena with curious eyes trying to denounce the religious roots of the kingdom. The wheels of fate stagnant for centuries move again.

Title: Kasarinlan - Sikalon Arc Genre: Action, Superpower, History, Drama, Romance, Fantasy Artist: Alab ng Apoy Type: Manga and Novel Note: This is a fantasy story infused with Philippine history, set in an alternate world. Tagline: "Freedom, Unity, Peace, The three symbols a nation needs to fight against foreign oppression. But what happens when those who embody and deliver these qualities clash in their methods and beliefs on how to protect the nation they are meant to safeguard?" Plot: For over 500 years, the powerful nation of Spain has colonized the Philippines, treating it as one of its colonies. Due to countless failures and defeats of Filipino heroes and revolutionaries, the people gradually lost the courage to reclaim their homeland from the colonizers. With hope fading, Filipinos eventually surrendered and accepted Spanish rule over their nation. Over the centuries, Spanish governance grew increasingly cruel toward the country's citizens, dividing Filipino society into two classes: Honorary Spaniards or "Hilaw" (as the Spanish call them): These are Filipinos who abandoned their Filipino identity to become "adopted childre ton of Spain" in exchange for certain privileges in the country. Low-Class Citizens or "Indio" (as the Spanish call them): These are Filipinos from poor families, stripped of numerous privileges and rights in their own land. Due to their low social status, they are often oppressed, abused, and unable to defend themselves in any court or legal system in the country.

Raw and reeling, he has to quickly master the savage game of Roman imperial politics just to keep breathing. His only edge? Knowledge from a future they can't fathom, knowledge he’ll need to sidestep deadly plots and begin shaping a "New Rome" that history was never meant to see. While he wrestled with reforms that smashed against stubborn traditions, the Emperor's crown a constant, heavy burden, the world itself began to shift in ways no scholar could explain. A quiet magic was at work. He'd get the reports: coastlines inexplicably pushing further to sea, an unsettling trend of people living past their time, familiar charts turning into hopeful guesses as new lands emerged from nowhere. Now, this accidental emperor wasn't just fighting human ambition; he was contending with a reality actively remaking itself. He would have to forge a new destiny for this strange, transforming empire, and with every hard choice, discover the ruthless leader he was becoming.

"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.

After Mo Tianzun -the feared Demon Lord- fell to the sword of Liu Shengjie, the martial world breathed a sigh of relief. The Spirit Realm, once shattered by war, began to rebuild. Peace reigned for the first time in a thousand years. Without the threat of demons, cultivators flourished, and the balance between realms was restored. But peace is never eternal. Deep within the sacred grounds of the Yunxiao Healer Sect, a young prince named Lin Xuanji opened his eyes. His vision was unfamiliar, yet the face he saw in the bronze mirror was hauntingly similar-refined, beautiful, a mirror of the demon he once was. Gone was the stark white hair of the Demon Lord. Now, jet-black strands framed his youthful face. His body felt unfamiliar... and yet, when he summoned his qi, the power surged through his meridians-untamed, immense, his former strength intact. He was reborn. Mo Tianzun, the once-invincible Demon Lord, now inhabited the body of Lin Xuanji-the weakest prince of the Yunxiao Sect, a laughingstock among cultivators. "Weakling prince?" Mo's eye twitched. "They dare... call me that?" Though furious, he knew better than to reveal his true nature. For now, he'd play the fool. Let them mock. He would bide his time, regain his influence, and reclaim his destiny. As he sat in meditation, refining his qi in silence, a sudden voice echoed through the room. "Greetings, host." Startled, Mo's-no, Lin Xuanji's-eyes flew open. "Who's there?" No one. But then, above his head, a shimmering blue screen flickered into view. > [Welcome to the System!] Main Quest: Make Crown Prince Zhao Longxuan fall in love with you-and only you. Objective: Become the prince's sole consort, and ascend as the queen-with zero concubines. "...What the fuck?!" Mo Tianzun, the terror of three realms, screamed into the void. ———— Image Credit: The book cover/photo is not mine; full credit goes to the rightful owner.

Burned alive at the stake and framed as a traitor, Lady Seraphina Ashthorne watches the people she trusted most—her stepsister, her fiancé, and the royal family—celebrate her death. But fate gives her a cruel mercy: a second chance. Seraphina awakens five years earlier, just before her engagement to the charming yet treacherous Crown Prince. This time, she refuses to play the role of the noble pawn. Instead of chasing love or status, she does the unthinkable—she breaks off the royal engagement and offers herself in marriage to the empire’s most feared man: Duke Lucien Nightbane, a war hero believed to be cursed by death itself. Their marriage is a political move, not a romantic one. Or so she thinks. Lucien is cold, guarded, and dangerous—but not heartless. And Seraphina is not the same naive girl he once knew. Together, they uncover long-buried secrets, court conspiracies, and the true source of the curse that binds them both. With a blend of cold alliances, smoldering tension, and deadly power games, Seraphina will either rewrite her destiny—or burn the empire down with her.

In the mid-21st century, a brilliant but disillusioned strategist and historian meets an untimely end, only to awaken in a world he has only studied. He is now Christian Eskildsen, an 18-year-old Danish Baron in the year 1864, a time of profound crisis for Denmark as it reels from a devastating defeat against Prussia and Austria. While he inherits the Baron’s memories and language, he retains the full force of his own intellect, personality, and—most crucially—his encyclopedic knowledge of the next 150 years of history. He sees the grim future awaiting his new homeland: a slow decline into European obscurity, a minor power perpetually overshadowed by its aggressive neighbors. But within this grim reality, he also sees a singular, audacious opportunity. Armed with the knowledge of future technologies, untapped global resources, and the fatal political missteps of his rivals, Christian rejects the path of quiet survival. He resolves to accomplish the impossible. Starting with the modernization of his small barony, Christian begins a ruthless and calculated campaign to seize the levers of national power. His goal is absolute: to dismantle the fragile Danish democracy, establish a powerful and efficient Absolute Monarchy loyal to his vision, and launch Denmark into the great game of nations. He will use his foresight to claim resource-rich colonies in Africa and Asia, build a navy to rival the great powers, and forge a Danish Empire strong enough to secure its destiny against the rising tide of a new, brutal age of imperialism. The Danish Empire is a saga of relentless ambition, political realism, and strategic genius. It chronicles the journey of a man caught between ages, who must wrestle with the morality of becoming a conqueror to save a nation, and who is willing to pay any price in iron, salt, and blood to carve his empire upon the map of the world
