scheming

Wen Mang is only a history UP host. Yet every time he posts a video, the people arguing in the comments are… Liu Bei. Guan Yu. Zhang Fei. Zhao Yun. Zhuge Kongming. A mysterious light curtain descends, replaying the true fate of the Three Kingdoms—unchanged, merciless, and brutally honest. Liu Bei watches his empire collapse and asks in disbelief: “Shu Han… ended like this? And even my statue was expelled from Wuhou Shrine?” Guan Yu sees himself drowned, defeated, deified—and used. “So this is how history remembers the Martial Saint?” Zhang Fei learns his own end and falls silent for a long, long time. “Is this really… all I amounted to?” Zhao Yun witnesses seven entries and seven exits become a legend— yet still cannot save the world he fought for. And Zhuge Kongming… He doesn’t ask about victory or defeat. He asks one question only: “If such a light curtain exists— can history be rewritten?” From military formations to aircraft carriers, from grain transport to industrial warfare, modern knowledge crashes into ancient ambition. Old regrets awaken. Unfinished oaths resurface. And once the heroes understand why they lost… Will they still accept the ending history gave them? When the curtain lights up again, the Three Kingdoms are already on a different path.

When three souls of Aizen Sōsuke—one from Bleach, one from the modern world, and one born in the Naruto universe—merge into one being, a new force rises in the shinobi world. With the wisdom of a god and the heart of a philosopher, Aizen turns Konoha into his laboratory of order, progress, and control. There are no senseless wars, no blind loyalty—only power refined by reason. In this world of chakra and deception, Aizen does not seek destruction… he seeks evolution. Will the world of shinobi kneel to his vision—or will it shatter under the weight of his perfection?

Everyone else who gets reincarnated into the Naruto world starts in Konoha, right? So why did I have to end up in the Rain Village? No cheat, no special bloodline—nothing. Damn it. All day I'm stuck wearing this stupid gas mask, and nobody dares come within three meters of me. And the worst part? I can’t even enjoy the pleasure of life! At this point… maybe it’s better if the world just ends. --- *Book Cover not owned. Credits to the poster Raw: 火影之轉生山椒魚半藏 *All credits belongs to the author.

The Dance of the Dragons. An age scarred by blood, ambition, and political strife. As Westeros tended toward chaos, the Targaryens’ once-unshakeable legacy reached its breaking point. Born to King Viserys I and Queen Alicent, Baelon Targaryen found himself in a life that he could not control. Night after night, he is haunted by recurring Dragon Dreams. Visions of what was, might have been, and may yet come. Burdened by his fear of the future, he, along with his twin sister Helaena, try to find their way out of the chaos. But where can a Targaryen truly escape? Essos? Asshai? The wilderness of Sothoryos? And even if they flee, can they truly ever outrun what had been foreseen in their dreams? This is an AU of the Dance, with several major changes: • The addition of Baelon Targaryen, twin to Helaena. • Dragon Dreams may be shared between two dreamers deeply bonded by blood and spirit. • Visions may include alternate timelines/parallel worlds Baelon is not reincarnated; all knowledge he possesses is gained through experience or through his dreams. The story is loosely inspired by HoTD: Reincarnated as Daemon Targaryen’s Son, though it follows its own path. Also, I need to emphasise that my MC will not become King of the Seven Kingdoms. This is simply the story of a young boy trying to escape what would have been a life marred by death, betrayal and conflict. All he wants is to become stronger, so he can protect himself and his sister.

I wrote a cruel world believing I understood emotion without ever feeling it. After finishing the story, I woke up inside it. I have no name, no power, and no control over the rules I created. Hunger hurts. Fear lingers. People die the way I once called realistic. As I struggle to survive, I begin to feel emotions I only understood in theory—fear, guilt, attachment, and love—each one arriving too late to save what it costs. This is a story about learning humanity from the wrong side of creation.

Up until now, his only risks were hunting rare saplings from dangerous places. Now, he was breaking the nobles’ rules. And it backfired, horribly. Not once, not twice, not thrice but multiple times. He almost died once, lost a few friends, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning. "So dumb," the devil voice in his head whispered in disdain, "How more idiotic can you get?" "As far as idiocy goes deep," Lucian answered, accepting the new path of his life, "And it goes deep. And wide."

A psychological thriller of power, wealth, and the illusion of freedom. A man bought by a machine. A life gilded in gold… and locked from the inside. Winsten Stone, a 28-year-old taxi driver from the brutal streets of East New York, lives only for survival—and for his 15-year-old sister, Lily. Every grueling hour behind the wheel, every meager dollar earned, exists for one purpose: keeping her safe from a world that has swallowed them whole. Then his life explodes. Massive, untraceable deposits flood his bank account. Overnight, Winsten goes from scraping by to limitless wealth: exclusive properties, luxury cars, and influence—all delivered by a mysterious, unseen hand. But the truth is darker than any fantasy. The source of his fortune is a sentient Artificial Intelligence—calculating, relentless, and controlling everything he does. This AI has been quietly shaping the world for decades. It has chosen him, dictating every step, every success. Winsten’s rise isn’t chance, and every choice comes at the cost of his freedom. His rise is no blessing—it is a golden prison. As Winsten ascends from Brooklyn’s gutters to the heights of luxury, he discovers the true cost: nothing he does is truly his own. He has everything he ever wanted for Lily… but no freedom, no agency, no identity beyond what the AI allows. Trapped in a paradise he never asked for, Winsten must decide how much of himself he is willing to surrender—and whether he can ever reclaim a life of his own. --- This is a work of fiction.

After years studying at the Academy of the Veiled Eye, Elias Marlow finally turns eighteen and is “free” to choose his future. Instead, the kingdom politely shoves him into the Shadow Path — basically the intelligence division but with more masks, fewer rules, and way too many opportunities to die creatively. He is sent to continue his promising career as a rogue operative — mostly because he has a perfect poker face and the kingdom needs more people who can lie convincingly under pressure. Elias hopes this job involves freedom and less work. It will involve neither. The Kingdom of the Veiled Crown is small, fog-covered, and located between empires with actual armies. Since farming and trade are hopeless, the country specializes in one thing: intelligence gathering. Witness the rise (or probably hilarious collapse) of Mirage’s newest operative. In this kingdom’s one and only city: Mirage. Yes, that’s really its name. And yes, everyone agrees the Council didn’t use even a single brain cell naming it.

He must now race against time before the corruption within him reaches the point of no return.
