The Last Dragonlord

He died forgotten in a world that never loved him. Aarav Sharma, a lonely orphan crushed by the machinery of modern life, meets a quiet, meaningless end on a rain-soaked Mumbai street. No family. No warmth. No legacy. Only regret. But death is not the end. He awakens again — not as the man he once was, but as Daemon Targaryen II, the twin brother of Daenerys, born on the storm-lashed fortress of Dragonstone during the last days of the Targaryen dynasty. He has no memories at first. No destiny. Only a fragile infant’s cry echoing through collapsing halls. Years later, in the slums and shadows of Essos, his past-life memories awaken… along with something far more dangerous. A Panel that reveals the truth of his blood: Valyrian King Bloodline A body stronger than steel. A mind sharpened by reincarnation. Immunity to flame. Dragons that will one day bow to him. And a soul that will never die — only pass to his descendants. As the Free Cities crumble with greed, as the Seven Kingdoms slide toward war, whispers spread: A silver-haired boy in Braavos with eyes like winter stars. A prince colder than the sea winds. A dragon rising where none should be. Daemon is no hero. He is no savior. He is forged in loneliness, driven by desire, sharpened by pain. He will love fiercely. He will rule ruthlessly. He will burn the world before he kneels. This is the story of the last true heir of Valyria— Not the kind the world wanted… But the kind it will learn to fear.

ILLEGAL KING: Aeternum Archive in the World That Shouldn’t Exist

For most, being chosen by a Djinn or drawing a Servant in a Grail War is a dream. For him, it’s a terrifying second life. One moment he was a forgotten soul on Earth; the next, he’s a nine-year-old claimed by a living Leviathan, eyes like trench-stars, memories intact, and a heretical skill, Aeternum Archive, that records, refines, and fuses the rules of other powers. Stuck between Magi’s king-making dungeons, Fate’s Grail politics, Rimuru-style monster nations, Overlord’s undead dominion, Shield Hero’s holy slavery, Re:Zero loops, Log Horizon oath-law, and Tanya’s war machine, he sees “destiny” for what it is: leverage. Sovereignty isn’t a calling; it’s survival. His path is to secure power, sanctuary, and a myth no system can own. And becoming the Illegal King is just the surest way to get it all. Fusing the rule systems of Magi, Fate, Overlord, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Re:Zero, Log Horizon/No Game No Life, Shield Hero, Mushoku Tensei, Eminence in Shadow, Arifureta, Tsukimichi, Wise Man’s Grandchild, Cautious Hero, How Not to Summon a Demon Lord, and So I’m a Spider, So What?, this story blends high-stakes action, myth-bond romance, and the complicated slice-of-life of a child-king raised by a jealous sea-god, who’s in it for sanctuary and might save the world by accident. === Uploads will be Once a Day at 8:00 AM CST (Chicago). Additional Tags: No Incest, No Rape, No NTR, No Yuri, Harem, Black MC, Child Protagonist (9), Raised by Leviathan, Djinn, Grail War, Noble Phantasm-like Skills, Dungeon Conquest, Nation-Building, Political Intrigue, Return by Death Vibes, Contract/Vow Magic, Household Vessels, Servant Class: Calamity, Power Synthesis, Continuity Debt, Found Family, Tsundere, Yandere Goddess (Protective), OP Growth (Costly).

The Girl Who Hacked The Magic System

Magic is the programming language of the world. But in a fantasy world, nobody has ever heard about programming. That is, nobody except Aurea. Formerly known as Aurora, she was reborn with all the knowledge she brought from Earth. She spent the 40 years of her previous life studying society, science, programming, hermetism, mythology, and alchemy. She died financially broke and emotionally broken, but all her accumulated knowledge and her nerdiness are about to pay off. She starts her life as the daughter of a slave, set against impossible odds from the beginning. But if incantations work as a programming language, then she knows exactly what to do to turn the tables. Words and syntax were the bread and butter of her former life, and material components look more like APIs and plugins. Discord https://discord.gg/rrFNCtvCHZ ::: Update Schedule is according to my time, which means Brazil Time (GMT -03). I wouldn’t be able to keep track of all time zones and the ever-floating Summer Saving Times and stuff, so you can either calculate it to your time zone or just get used to it, because it won’t be changing for some time (I hope never, actually). From October onwards, I'll be posting one chapter per week, on Fridays. Once per week: Friday, 04 PM (BRT, which is GMT -03) ::: What NOT to expect in this novel: - Explicit sex content - Depiction of slavery in any “good side” or “positive light.” Slavery is Evil, period. - The MC to enter a straight relationship - Harem - NTR - Any form of race superiority or inferiority discourse - Sexism - Random banter about food or entire chapters dedicated to food (I mean, I love food as much as anyone else; I’m just too tired of every single isekai novel having entire chapters describing food) What TO expect in this novel: - A slow-burn story - Brain beats brawn - Action scenes, though they aren’t the first focus - The MC may enter romantic relationships, but they take more of a backstage role - People trying to live healthy polyamorous relationships. They might succeed or fail, but the important thing is that this isn’t about one person taking center stage and everyone else worshipping them - Sex might be mentioned or implied, but never more than that - Sometimes the characters might use strong language - Sadism - No, really. Sadism. Aurea might be originally a 40-year-old from Earth, but a child's brain is a child's brain and very susceptible to trauma. The roughness of the environment of her upbringing might warp her personality a bit. This isn’t to say that she will be down a villainess path. She will just have some pleasure in making evil people suffer. Think of Yae Miko in her character demo, “Anecdote of a Divine Kitsune Guuji,” which you can find on YouTube. It’s that kind of “ludic sadism.”
