Legendary Lazy Knight: Summoned by a Family of Beauties

(Mature Content) Knox was a lazy young man who hadn't accomplished a single thing in life. At eighteen, while crossing a street near his house, he walked so slowly that he got hit by a car. His death was easily one of the most idiotic ways to go—but that wasn't the end for him. Knox found himself in a strange world, wandering for only twenty minutes. This was the Dream Realm, the world from which summons came. He stopped near a tree, finding a simple sword lying beside it. Knox sat down, leaning his back against the trunk, the sword resting in his hands. "What kind of place is this, anyway?" he sighed. That was when a rift opened right in front of him, and before he could react, Knox was summoned. Summoned as the new guardian summon for a family of elves! A family that needed to rebuild themselves after everything they'd been through—and for that, a powerful guardian was essential. But Knox? His stats were lower than average. Yet he was special. [Lazy Meditation of the Legendary Lazy Knight (Rank S): Every 10 seconds spent sitting, increase all attributes by 10 points. Can stack up to 6 times initially.] [Duration: 10 minutes.] [Skill can be upgraded.] * [More Than Necessary Rest of the Legendary Lazy Knight (Rank S): Sleeping at least 12 hours guarantees a 100% increase in meditation gains.] [Skill can be upgraded.] * Surrounded by an absurd number of beautiful elves, Knox was designated as the summon of the youngest elf, who was about to leave for a magic academy. This new world of magic seemed incredible to him—far better than his old world—but he had no idea what dangers awaited him.

the era of calamities

Welcome to a world where survival demands dying once first. For a thousand years, humanity has lived under the constant threat of the Calamities monsters born from ether, a mysterious energy that appeared during a long-forgotten cataclysm. To avoid a lethal overload, every human must consume a daily serum, tightly controlled by the Order. Without it, death is inevitable. At sixteen, everyone must face the Awakening, a spiritual trial from which only 30% emerge alive. Those who survive gain a Resonance, a unique power, and become Initiates the last line of defense against the Calamities. Sirius is a cynical young hitman from the slums of Astoria. He seeks neither glory nor power, only a quiet life alongside his twin sister Iris and their friend Lucy. Everything changes when an embargo on the serum strikes the city, plunging it into chaos. As the death toll rises, Sirius comes to realize that the true monsters are not always the ones being named. In the shadows, a sinister conspiracy unfolds: parasites implanted in the brains of Initiates distort their senses and emotions, turning the survivors of the Awakening into obedient instruments, unable to distinguish truth from illusion. Cornered, Sirius, Iris, and Lucy are left with only one choice: face the Awakening themselves and inherit powers as unpredictable as they are dangerous. Saving everyone is not their priority. The Order, the manipulated Initiates, and the Calamities are merely obstacles to bypass or opportunities to exploit as long as it keeps them alive. But in a world where reality itself can be falsified, how far can one go without becoming the very thing they fight? Discord: https://discord.gg/spCNaXxape

Tale of A Rogue King

Short Ver: Truck-kun isekaid me in a game, i used to play. And you know the Drill. Now ? I am a minor villainous character, A mob. A handsome and talented one, Just so you know. So, Now After comparing all my options, I have decided to be The king. Oh, Did i mention ? I am the third prince. Yeah, you get it. Being a prince, living in luxurious castle, full of servants and tasty food and a loving mother. Life is quite hard. So, As the name says, This is the tale of my journey. Follow it or don't. It's your loss anyways. LOOONG VERSION: Heaven or Hell? Where do you think you'll go after "The End" ? Most people spend their lives wondering where they’ll end up. But me ? I didn’t have to wonder—I was a shoo-in for the pit. But.. it seems Fate has a twisted sense of humor, and "The End" was just a loading screen. I woke up inside my favorite RPG, Magic Academy Saga. You know the drill: Truck-kun did his job, and I got the crown. Well, a small, dusty piece of it. I am Tyler Von Regulus, the Third Prince. In the original game, I was a "Villainous Mob"—a footnote in history meant to be trampled on early, so the hero could look good. My mother is a lowly Baronet, and my inheritance is a quiet plot of countryside land. The perfect setup for a "Slow Life," right? I could just plant some cabbages, hide from the plot, and live to a ripe old age. ...Like hell I will. I’ve been given a second life, a royal name, and a world that thinks I’m a background character. If I’m destined to be a villain, I might as well be the one sitting on the throne when the world ends. I'm not here to farm; I'm here to rule. They say a rogue has no place in a palace. I’m about to prove them wrong. This isn't just a story about survival—it’s a hostile takeover of Fate itself. The game is live. And I’m playing to win. GAME ON! P.S: The pacing might seem a bit slow, So I would Recommend you to keep your patience. But since the chapters are not really super long, it should be a piece of cake for an experienced reader like you, Right ? ...or not ?

The Extra Villain: I Made a Contract With The Dragon Empress!

Do you believe in reincarnation? Some people would say yes, while others would say no. But what if it truly existed? Surely, everyone—especially those who felt like failures in life—would wish for another chance to live, right? *** Merlin Ken, a renowned editor, died while reviewing the raw draft of a popular novel titled “The Lost Hero.” But instead of moving on to the afterlife, he awoke to find himself reincarnated inside the very novel he had been editing! Worse yet, he wasn’t the protagonist—he was just an extra character with the same name, fated to become nothing more than a stepping stone for the main character. Determined to survive, Merlin resolved to defy fate by breaking the novel’s plot! By chance, a mysterious system appeared before him to help! As time passed, however, Merlin began to notice strange deviations—events that never existed in the original story. "[Ding! The first mission has been released! Awaken your Guardian Spirit on Awakening Day, three days from now! Reward: 1x Special Talent Awakening Potion!]" "[Ding! Congratulations! You have awakened the Guardian Spirit of the Ancient Dragon Empress! The reward has been delivered!]" Merlin: “What!? That’s impossible! My Guardian Spirit was supposed to be trash! How did it become an extraordinary figure instead!? Someone explain this to me!” And so, Merlin’s journey to change his fate began… *** #Note: 1. This is my first novel, so it may not be perfect. I welcome any feedback or criticism, and I’ll do my best to listen and improve. 2. The main character is a single man who has never had a partner. I’ll try to make his interactions with the heroines feel natural and reasonable. 3. This story follows the harem genre, but on a small scale—around four or five heroines. Not every female character will become the MC’s partner. The romance will develop at a steady pace, neither too fast nor too slow. 4. At the start, the MC will be a bit naive since he comes from the modern world and still holds onto his moral principles. But over time, he will adapt and become ruthless when necessary. 5. There will be no NTR, yuri, or similar elements. This will be a straightforward story. Thank you for reading, and I hope you’ll support this novel! #Tags: #Action, #Fantasy, #Adventure, #Romance, #Magic, #Political, #Anti-Hero, #Harem, #Reincarnation, #Dragon, #Academy, #Handsome-Male-Lead, #Beautiful-Female-Lead, #Conspiracy, #Magic, #Elves, #Yandere, #ObsessiveCharacter

Sacrificed to the Tyrant King: The Witch Who Conquered the Continent

Hermi did not volunteer for this marriage. She is a royal bastard, hunted down by a father she has never met, then handed off to a king whose name is whispered like a curse. A perfectly efficient solution for everyone involved. Except Hermi. That king rules a wasteland so barren and forsaken that the six surrounding kingdoms use it as a dumping ground for criminals and exiles. He is rumored to be a tyrant. Every princess sent before her is said to have died within months. Hermi's expectations are, understandably, low. She arrives with exactly one goal: survive long enough to burn her home kingdom to the ground. A modest ambition, all things considered. Survival, however, turns out to be complicated. The land is hostile. Her husband runs cold and scorching in equal measure. The crown on her head feels less like power and more like a very formal death sentence. Then, somewhere between the wasteland and a husband who wouldn't stop watching her, Hermi awakens something the continent hasn't seen in thousands of years. A magic so ancient and absolute it rewrites the rules of the world. The kind that makes kingdoms nervous. The kind that makes alliances form overnight. Hermi arrived in the wasteland to start a war. She didn't expect to become the reason the entire world has no choice but to declare one against her. — Tags: Dark Romantasy, Morally Grey, Political Intrigue, Kingdom Building, Power Couple, Slow Burn, War, Dragons, Monster Hunt, Magic System, Level Up, Power Growth — Warning: Explicit Gore and Sexual Content
