Adam was preparing for student life at MIT when a sudden flash tore him and his classmates from their familiar reality. While others awoke in a radiant crystal city, endowed with supernatural abilities, Adam found himself amidst charred ruins and dead metal. Without a gift or purpose, he was stranded on a planet that died long before his arrival, in a world where the air is lethal and the darkness whispers with the voices of the dead. Yet through this nightmare, Adam presses forward, seeking the truth about himself and the world. The universe, as it appears, is merely a mask concealing a decaying framework of reality—a grand game where gods rule and heroes perish in an endless loop. It remains unclear whether Adam is a player or merely a puppet within it. He is not the chosen one but the one who defies the rules, capable of breaking the script and dismantling the lies upon which everything is built. Yet, in the end, will he uncover the ultimate truth: who he truly is and why he is here?

After his dreams were stifled by fatal obstacles, a young hedge fund manager Jason Underwood is given an impossible second chance. He wakes up as Ezra Prentice, a humble son-in-law to the richest family in world history: the Rockefellers. Trapped in the 1930s, he finds himself caught between two titans: an aging patriarch John D. Sr., who suspects a fellow kindred, predatory spirit, and his virtuous heir John D. Jr., who is hell-bent on converting the family's bloody history into the legendary tale of philanthropy. Endowed with good knowledge of what would come next—from the Great Depression to nuclear energy—Ezra initiates a manipulative game of rumors and investments to reshape the empire of his new family in a chillingly modern way.

In Vystoria, the world runs on Arc-Genesis—a card game fused with cutting-edge holographic tech and personal System HUDs. For some, dueling is a sport. For others, it’s a livelihood. And for a rare few… it’s life or death. Shin Yukari knows this better than most. Once hailed as a prodigy from the Eastside slums, Shin now clings to his late brother’s deck—the only piece of family he has left. His dream? To become the King of Duels and carve his name into the ranks of Vystoria’s elite. But the path to the top is paved with more than official tournaments and glittering prize pools. Beneath the neon lights lies a darker game: Contract Duels—matches where the stakes are everything, from money to your very soul. Shin swore he’d never enter that world… until a mysterious message appears on his HUD: [Contract Duel Eligibility Unlocked] Do you wish to register? With his brother’s death shrouded in whispers of the underground, Shin is pulled into a spiral of high-stakes matches, fierce rivals, and a truth more dangerous than any duel. To survive, he’ll need more than powerful cards—he’ll need skill, allies, and the courage to risk everything on a single draw. And in a game where one card can change everything, Shin will learn that becoming King isn’t about luck. It’s about knowing when to bet your life on the deck in your hands.

upon awakening in the body of James Sayson, Reggie decides that he’ll turn newland in a succes story.

Laws exist to protect—this is an undeniable fact. But they protect only interests. And when interests collide? The answer is simple: they always serve those who wield them best. Ezra Ashenguard was an ordinary man in a world of the extraordinary. A noble without power, a scholar without amazing gifts. He was a genius incapable of grasping what even the simplest fools could understand. And because of that, he clung to the old ideals: That justice was blind That effort would be rewarded That his time would come Until the day the Gate of Order revealed the raw truth: Laws aren’t principles—they're weapons. And every one of them was aimed at his chest. Betrayed by those he called brothers, abandoned by his own blood, Ezra was left on the edge of the abyss—until the darkness offered him a pact: "If you can't find the laws..." "Usurp them… make your own." The price? His soul. Ezra smiled bitterly. "My soul? I’ve never had much use for it anyway." Now, he carries a new truth: in a world ruled by rigid laws, the only freedom lies in breaking them—letter by letter, blood by blood.

One cold winter night, that wish came true. Reborn into a world both familiar and strange, Ethan remembers everything: his past life, his regrets, his dreams. But this time, he’s given more than just a new body. He’s given a world rich with magic, warmth, and the hope of becoming someone new. This is not a story about escaping into fantasy. It’s about earning the life he once only dreamed of, and what happens when fate hands him the power to shape it from the beginning. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This story is a Harry Potter fanfiction, featuring my own original character. It’s a slow-paced story that focuses on characters growth, world-building and family, so please be patient with the unfolding plot. It's very dark psychologically, so be prepared. Also, this is an original work written by me, not a translation.

An Imperial Scholar by day. An assassin by night. The World of Cultivation has changed. Elemental Mancers. Flux Mancers. Spirit Mancers. Soul Mancers. Raining down fire and splitting oceans. Destroying mountains with a single stomp and calming skies with a glance. Controlling the tides of Karma, while wielding the souls of others like a puppeteer tugging on the Lines of Fate. The most mysterious of them all were Spirit Mancers, a truth that Theron was more than intimately familiar with. Due to one's Tribulation, his life was turned upside down. His family, his rage, his somber sadness becoming nothing more than Bad Karma's fuel for a madman. He was once a gentle young man, a non-combative Water Mancer who wanted nothing more than to read his novels to the sound of the rain and one day become an Imperial Scholar. But now... Everything had changed. He donned a cloak in the silent night as the clouds above gathered. Pulling its hood over his chilling blue eyes, he stalked off into the darkness. The first droplets fell. He would become the nightmare of his enemies, the blade hidden in the shadows of Heaven's tears. The River of the Night.

"Rosse... huh..." Rosse stared blankly at the boy in the mirror, momentarily at a loss for words. The boy in the mirror had a smooth and fair face, well-defined features, exuding a sense of cold and stern aura. His deep, dark eyes shimmered with captivating light, and his whole body radiated a noble temperament. He had transmigrated, or perhaps it was memory awakening, and directly became a Celestial Dragon. ’This is just, way too good!’ However, his identity was a bit awkward. His name was Jaygarcia Rosse, a standard Celestial Dragon name, and his grandfather was Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the current Five Elders, and also the first Five Elder to be removed in the original One Piece. ——— [Ding!

“Kindness built upon others’ suffering is the most hypocritical kind of kindness.” — Uzumaki Kushina ——— A bloodstained Uchiha boy was carrying three human heads, walking toward the main gate. All three heads wore masks, their faces unrecognizable. This boy was Rengoku, who had rushed back from the Kusagakure after being rescued by Muku and Ryuzetsu. He exchanged one piece of intel for a special rapid treatment. He didn’t dare to stop, not even to change clothes, and headed straight for Konoha. Rengoku arrived at the village gate, and gatekeepers Kamizuki Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu immediately stepped forward to confirm his identity. “Uchiha Rengoku, mission in the Kusagakure,” While flipping through the file in his hand, Hagane Kotetsu glanced at the heads. “Did something unexpected happen?” ——— “Looks like I made it in time,” Hearing the clan meeting had just ended, Rengoku also let out a breath of relief. He had been rushing all the way, not even changing clothes, and finally made it back before the night of the clan extermination. The Uchiha clan meeting had already concluded. Konoha had already learned from Itachi about Uchiha’s planned coup. Danzo had probably already given Itachi the order to annihilate the clan. Itachi was likely contacting Tobi in the past few days, preparing to take action. But since he had made it back in time, there was still a chance to gamble. ——— Rengoku, this was just the beginning. As long as he protected the Uchiha clan, the clan members would provide him with an endless supply of chakra. The rise of the Uchiha was the path to his own strength. He would ultimately become the god of the Uchiha. And even, the GOD OF THIS WORLD. ═❀═ITS A TRANSLATION═❀═ RAW: 火影忍者：宇智波统治世界
