Lowell slowly opened his eyes. the first thing he saw was someone's broad chest,still groggy from sleep,he instinctively reached out his hand grazing the firm surface. Even in his hazy state, he couldn't help but give it a few experimental squeezes before his gaze drifted up to the familiar black hair. He gently stroked it, the way he would with a lover. 'but there's no way he'd have a chest like this. Besides, we've been broken up for ages' As his senses returned, Lowell glanced around, piercing together his surroundings. Once his vision cleared, the situation began to make sense. ___________________________________ Just translating and sharing this wonderful story.

I have died a thousand times, always by his sword, always on that cursed ivory rose. Every drop of my blood turned its petals red, but I never understood why. Until now. The rose has awakened. My blood no longer only feeds it — it gives me power. Power to bind, to corrupt, to bloom roses from the bodies of my enemies. This time, I will not run. I will not beg. I will make the Prince of War fall in love with me, and when his heart is mine… I will crush it with my own hands. Some call me the Blood Rose Princess. Some call me Princess of Thorns. Some call me a monster. Some call me a myth whispered by soldiers at midnight. But I am the Empress of Thorns. And I shall use my thorns to pierce crowns, spill vengeance into halls, and make kings kneel in gardens of their own blood.

Stats aren’t just numbers anymore. In Exile.exe, your courage, resolve, and choices decide if you live or get deleted forever. After a fatal accident, Vivan wakes inside Exile.exe - a VR world where dying here means dying for real. Every player has the Living Morality Engine - a system that shapes stats and skills based on their actions, courage, and resolve. Most don’t get how it works. Vivan? He digs into it. He’s the only one ready to push all the way to its core, and when he does, he’ll use it to get stronger than anyone else… and show the pro gamer world they were dead wrong to reject him. I’m building a game system around morality. It’s not easy - I’ve never seen anything like it in gamelit novels, manga, or anime, so I’m making it from scratch. Please support it by reading, voting, and adding it to your collection. I’m not applying for a contract till you, the readers, say it’s ready. P.S:- The first chapter sets the foundation for Vivan’s intelligent and strategic playstyle. The real thrill begins from Chapter 2, and by Chapter 3 you’ll see why the “impossible” quest changes everything. Stick around — the challenge has only just begun.

Jake Allan’s first life was nothing but pain. Bullied, broken, and abandoned, he carried burdens too heavy for a boy his age. When his mother passed away, the last spark of hope inside him was extinguished, and he made the choice to end it all. But death was not the end. For reasons he cannot understand, Jake is given a second chance—a chance to live again. Reborn as Xavier in a world where swords gleam with arcane fire and the very air hums with magic, he begins his new life as a helpless newborn in the arms of a loving family. Yet deep within, the scars of his first life remain, whispering reminders of despair and strength alike. This new world is no paradise. It is a place where nobles wield power like weapons, kingdoms crumble in endless wars, and ancient beasts stir in forgotten lands. The gifted are exalted, while the weak are trampled underfoot. For Xavier, survival will demand more than talent—it will demand resilience, cunning, and the will to stand against those who would see him crushed again. He may be a child now, but as he grows, trials will test him at every turn: A kingdom’s secrets that could consume him. Enemies hidden among allies. A path of blood and sacrifice toward strength. Yet in this harsh world, there is also light—bonds of friendship, the warmth of family, and the possibility of becoming someone greater than despair ever allowed him to be. Xavier’s journey begins in innocence, but the road ahead is lined with shadows. To rise, he must face them all—because this time, he refuses to fall.

When a mysterious being known only as the Administrator descended upon Earth, humanity's peaceful existence shattered in an instant. This enigmatic entity, serving powerful cosmic forces called Constellations, delivered a chilling proclamation: the apocalypse was coming, and only those who awakened jobclasses would survive what lay ahead. But first came the "beta" - a trial period where humans could glimpse their fate. Two simple commands would change everything: "Register" to create a profile in this new reality, and "Gate" to open portals to another world where their newfound powers could truly manifest. While abilities barely functioned in the real world, each victory beyond the gates enhanced their physical capabilities, preparing them for the hell that awaited. Raven Hayes never expected to be special. Like millions of others, he registered for what seemed like humanity's last hope, expecting a common jobclass that might help him survive. Instead, the system granted him something extraordinary - the EX Rank jobclass of Sword Saint, the ultimate pinnacle of swordsmanship that transcends all others who walk the path of the blade. In a world where E to SSR ranks define your chances of survival, Raven finds himself wielding power beyond imagination. His abilities go beyond mere skill with a sword - they represent mastery so absolute that reality itself bends to his blade. But with such transcendent power comes immense responsibility, and as the apocalypse looms ever closer, Raven must navigate not only the deadly gates and their monstrous inhabitants, but also the complex dynamics of a world where strength determines everything. The beta period is ending. The real apocalypse approaches. And Raven Hayes, wielding the power of a Sword Saint, must decide whether to hide his extraordinary abilities or stand as one of humanity's champions against the darkness that threatens to consume everything. In a world where your rank determines your fate, what happens when you achieve power beyond the normal limits?

A story of a random guy who woke up one day from sleep and found himself mysteriously reincarnated into the crown prince of the ancient empire that is currently on the verge of collapse in the RPG game world that he just finished last night. His reincarnation is not without a cheat, though, as the spamming summon system (SSS) also came along with him, but unfortunately it will only be active when the game prologue event of the crown prince assassination happens! With this, the reincarnated prince, who is also the protagonist of the game, will have to survive his first assassination attempt and later on deal with countless external and internal problems of the empire, including the mad emperor himself, while trying to not get killed by everyone in his empire who wants him and his dynasty gone forever! But being the realistic man that he was, the reincarnated prince just went, "Nah, I am good!" and abandoned his soon-to-be empire to its doom instead. This is not the story about the struggle of the protagonist to hold his crumbling empire together but a story about a modern man trying to live for only himself and his loved ones in the fantasy world of swords and magic. ÷×÷×÷ I don't have a release schedule set up for this story yet, so expect irregular chapter releases. English is not my first language, so expect some grammar, but it should be minimal enough that you can ignore it.

As war-torn lands stir with unrest, forgotten legacies awaken, and monstrous forces rise, Elton walks the line between legend and calamity. His journey will forge an unbreakable will, a sect of his own, and a destiny that defies the heavens themselves.

So, what’s this novel about? Think 'Squid Game' meets 'Game of Thrones'. ✧˖°── .✦───☼༺☆༻☾───✦.── °˖✧ In a kingdom where the crown is not passed by blood. Even a prince must earn it and even a peasant can claim it. Keiser was a knight of the royal brigade, one of the first commoners ever to reach the final trial of the King’s Gambit. A brutal tradition decided the kingdom’s next king. While nobles trained their entire lives for it, Keiser… born with no mana, rose through grit, loyalty, and unyielding strength. At his side stood Prince Gideon Aury Valemont, the king’s fourth son, who had seemingly renounced his own claim to support Keiser. Or so Keiser believed. It was in the final trial that the truth revealed its fangs. Keiser had been nothing but a pawn. Gideon had used him as a shield, a decoy to draw assassins and rivals, all while secretly paving his own path to the throne. In the trial, a candidate’s kingmaker must either make the ultimate sacrifice or betray their chosen king and seize the throne. Gideon chose the crown. Bloodied and broken, Keiser knelt, impaled by the very sword Gideon gifted to him. A blade forged from the core of a dragon he had once sworn to free, now twisted into the instrument of his death. Smoke curled from seared flesh, sigils burned into his skin by the hand he once trusted most. As numbness dulled the pain, he raised his gaze... And beheld Gideon, crowned in gold and betrayal... a serpent in royal silk, enthroned by treachery and gilded lies. In that final breath, Keiser understood. The King’s Gambit had never been about valor or justice. It was a masquerade of shadows, where victory belonged not to the strongest... but to the most ruthless deceiver. But death was not his end. Keiser awakens in the body of Muzio Auro Valemont, the king’s disgraced tenth prince, long-missing bastard son, doomed to die before the Gambit even begins. To stop history from repeating, Keiser must find the man he once was, must convince his former self that betrayal is coming, that Gideon will drive into his back the very blade forged from the dragon he once freed. Even if it means entering the Trials again in a body too weak to hold a sword. Even if it means bleeding himself dry to keep pace with his mind. Even if it means turning to the forbidden art of Blood Scripting. Keiser---now Muzio, must train, scheme, and survive... Not as the knight who flew too close to the sun, But as the bastard son hidden in its shadow. He no longer seeks the crown. He seeks to destroy all who dare to wear it. ༻✦༺ 　༻✧༺　༻✦༺ Unofficial tags are: #Transmigration, #Regression #TimeTravel, #BodySwap #IdentityRebirth #MagicSystem #Greek/Latin/Symbols/Weird-Magic-System, #BloodMagic #ForbiddenArts #StrongToWeak / #WeakToStrong, #Trial-by-Succession, #FoundFamily #Mystery, #HorrorElements, #Elves, #Dragons, #Fae, #Sirens, ━⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅━ If any of that caught your interest, give the story a try, and hopefully you'll find it better than expected.

[WSA 2025] (45,000+ words before locked) —————————————————— “I will become the strongest knight…!” In the frigid border city of Nordhav, fifteen year old Soren dreams of knighthood, though he has no noble name, no sponsor, and nothing to his name but frostbitten fingers and a stolen coat. When a shard of metal falls from the stars and whispers to him in the night, everything changes. The voice inside the sword is ancient, weary, and bound to a forgotten oath. Her name is Valenna. Once a knight of terrifying power, now reduced to a fragment clinging to memory and steel. Through her, Soren gains more than skill, he inherits secrets buried by kings, and a purpose he never asked for. But power in Nordhav has a cost. The training grounds are brutal. The nobles cruel. The city’s lawkeepers are hunting forbidden relics, and Soren is already being watched. As he fights to stay alive, rise in rank, and master the sword’s techniques, he begins to question if he’s the one that’s wielding the sword, or if the sword is the one wielding him. As the world outside stirs with war and prophecy, Soren must choose who he becomes, before someone else decides for him.

Takura, a samurai of the Hayato Clan, devoted his life to the way of the sword. On the night of his clan’s destruction, he fought until his body collapsed, only to meet his end beneath the enemy’s blade. But death was not his final chapter. Takura awakens in another world, inside the body of Count Darian of Redmond, a cursed young noble despised for having no mana in a society where mana is life itself. The former Darian had been spoiled, bitter, and powerless, a disgrace to his family name. Now, armed with the discipline of a warrior and the mastery of the Crimson Veil Swordstyle, Takura must walk a path where honor and steel clash against sorcery and schemes. In a land ruled by magic, he carries no mana. But he carries something far sharper. His blade

"You are a failed prince." Those were the last words Ivan heard as his kingdom burned. He was too weak to protect his family. Too powerless to stop the Seven Sins. But death wasn't the end. Ivan opened his eyes three years before the fall, with the memories of his failure, trying to change everything. if that was even possible.

In Vespera, power is decided at birth—by noble bloodlines, divine favour, and the strength of one’s magic. Ronan has none of it. An orphan with a single fire affinity and a shallow mana pool, he’s the last person anyone expects to matter in the hallowed halls of Serenwyn Magic Academy. But Ronan carries something far more dangerous than talent: an unyielding will, a body honed into a weapon, and a rage he has sworn never to unleash. That vow is tested when a “harmless” perception skill turns out to be cursed—showing him visions of a forgotten war between gods and mortals. At the same time, an ancient, sinister flame merges with his soul, granting him terrifying power at the cost of his sanity. As nightmares bleed into reality, Ronan is drawn into a hunt for the truth—through corrupted lands, lost histories, and enemies who would see his mind broken. To protect his found family, Samantha and Kairos, he will have to wield the very fury he fears, risking the one thing he cannot replace: his humanity. The gods measure worth by birthright. Ronan will prove them wrong. Because some strength comes not from magic, but from a will strong enough to defy the world itself.
