String Light Code

The story begins in 2025, against a world backdrop shrouded by technological barriers and the gathering storm of financial warfare. Three protagonists—Mozi, Yue'er, and Xiuxiu—each place their pieces upon the chessboard of destiny. • Mozi, a programmer and quantitative trading prodigy who comprehends the underlying source code of how the world operates. • Yue'er, born into a distinguished family of mathematicians, a theoretical mathematician obsessed with the world's most profound language. • Xiuxiu, heir to a laser technology dynasty and a lithography engineer bearing the weight of national and familial grievances. Returning resolutely from a Dutch lithography giant, she will lead her team through a decade-long technological Long March—from DUV to EUV, and onward to High-NA EUV—composing a heroic epic of China's semiconductor industry. The fates of the three converge at an international technology summit. Their love, ideals, and careers become inextricably intertwined: Yue'er's mathematical theories provide the ultimate "certainty" for Mozi's models; Xiuxiu's technological breakthroughs offer a solid pivot of "real economy" for Mozi's financial operations; and Mozi's capital power becomes the strongest backing for Xiuxiu's technological Long March. Together, they confront the strangulation of international capital, controversies over academic ethics, and the siege of technological blockades. Ultimately, they come to realize that whether it be the truth of mathematics, the light of physics, or the code of finance—all are but different paths leading to the same ultimate answer: the "String Light Code" of civilization's progress.

Lord of the Rings: Kingdom Builder

After dying from cancer, Oliver Smith wakes up in the freezing Weather Hills of Middle-earth as Aldric, a minor Dúnedain noble with nothing but a rusted sword and a group of forty-six starving refugees. However, he isn't just a survivor—he is the host of the Kingdom Restoration System (KRS). In a land of fading magic and rising darkness, Aldric must use the system to rebuild the lost kingdom of Arnor from the ground up. From managing granaries and planting orchards to training a military capable of standing against the shadow, he must transform a band of desperate refugees into a continental power. The world thinks the age of Men is over, but with a system for civilization building, Aldric is about to prove them wrong. The System: Kingdom Restoration (KRS) Territory Management: Allows the MC to "claim" land. Once claimed, the system provides a map overlay showing resource nodes (ore, fertile soil) and structural integrity of ruins, making it easier to rebuild ancient bastions like Amon Hen-dîr. Population & Loyalty Tracking: A HUD that shows the exact number of followers, their health, and their loyalty levels. It calculates "Prosperity" and "Stability" scores, warning the MC of potential rebellions or starvation before they happen. Civilization Skill Trees: Points earned from quests can be invested into trees like Agriculture (increasing crop yields), Masonry (speeding up construction), or Military Reform (enhancing the combat stats of his soldiers). Quest & Reputation System: The system issues "Restoration Quests" that provide essential rewards for growth. It also tracks his reputation among other factions (Elves, Dwarves, Rohan), unlocking unique trade or diplomatic options as his fame grows. Im uploading this into royalroad.com .

Douluo: Reborn as Death Spider Emperor

Nan Feng transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, and the moment he opened his eyes, he faced a hell-level start. He had become the hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor, the very soul beast destined to be hunted by Bibi Dong. And he was already in a critically injured, near-death state, able only to watch as that madwoman named Bibi Dong came straight for him! Run? The outside world was full of enemies—instant death upon escape. Fight? His health bar had only one point left—certain death. “Can’t beat her? Then join her!” “You want my hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone? No problem! I’ll sacrifice myself!” “But I have one condition: take me to godhood!” Bibi Dong thought she had gained an enormous advantage—not only obtaining a hundred-thousand-year soul ring but also an extremely high-quality soul bone. However, just as she finished absorbing them and prepared to make great strides toward her ambitions, she discovered in horror: Her hand had a mind of its own. “This body is a bit fragile, but the feel isn’t bad.” “It’s just… this weight on the chest is hard to get used to.” Bibi Dong collapsed emotionally: “Didn’t you say you were inside the soul bone?! How can you control my body?!” Nan Feng replied: “Surprised? Unexpected? Our martial souls share the same origin. I put myself inside your martial soul!” From that day on, the style of the Spirit Hall’s Pope completely changed. In public, she remained the cold, noble, iron-blooded Pope. In private, she had to fight a shameless soul for control of her own body. Nan Feng: “Yu Xiaogang, that useless guy, is here? Don’t move, let me insult him!” Nan Feng: “Xue’er’s back? Come here, Mommy will hug you!” Bibi Dong: “…Get out of my body!!!” — Schedule: 12 Chapters/Week — For Early Access: [email protected]/Taichu372
