Novel

Lyra Shedd faced a brutal betrayal—her grandfather violently stole her superpower and handed it to her nemesis; her beloved younger brother, in his stupidity, leaked their only hidden assets to her enemies.

Once a genius, she was reduced to nothing, drifting in the sea of stars.

During her most agonizing years, she finally accepted the fact that her family didn't love her. Realizing she had nothing left to lose, she decided to throw off all moral restraints and become a villain!

On her journey of revenge, she encountered many handsome men—but to a cold-blooded villain, they were nothing but tools for her vengeance!

This time, she would make all those who pushed her to the brink tremble and scream for mercy!

In the novel, she became a villainess who died in the hands of her husband. To be precise, as a supporting actor, a villainess who dies after being used as a tool for a strategic marriage by his father and brother.

One day, my damn father crawled and asked my fifth groom. The problem is that the opponent is the husband who will kill me and the best paladin in the north who will destroy the family in the future. First, you have to find a way to live. In the novel, there are many difficulties, such as my husband’s cold disdain, the contempt and check of the northerners, and the contempt of the peasants before finding a way to save my sister-in-law to kill.

“I’m in love with you!”

So please save me!

In a world where immortality and martial arts coexist, Qiao Mu can constantly come back to life.

Each time he is killed, he resurrects at the cost of getting older, but his martial arts skills also become deeper with age.

The more he dies, the older he gets, and the stronger he becomes. The more heroic his death, the stronger he becomes after resurrection.

So he finds different ways to court death, always seeking out danger.

The enemy is shocked to discover that just after defeating the young one, an old one has appeared, seemingly infinite in number.

A legend of an invincible immortal family starts to spread.

“The Qiao family is full of loyal and heroic individuals, generation after generation. They all detest evil and cherish righteousness, valuing honor over life, daring to lead the world!”

“After his son died on the battlefield, the father with white hair continues to go into battle. He is worthy of admiration and respect!”

“Once upon a time, the son protected me and died, so today I cannot simply watch his old father living a sad and lonely old age.”

“The descendants of the Qiao family bravely entered the palace to assassinate the evil emperor, but failed and lost their lives. Is the emperor really so clueless? The mysterious thousand-year-old monster from the hidden Qiao family is about to appear!”

“Has the divine immortals and buddhas returned? But why do even those divine beings call the elders of the Qiao family “ancestors”? How many ancestors does the Qiao family have, and where did they come from?”

After countless deaths, Qiao Mu suddenly looked back and found himself to be an ancient ancestor of mankind, who had lived for millions of years and possessed immense power.

It was decent enough but the way his system acts makes it so that there will basically never be a situation where the MC is unable to do something.At the start the system waives the requirements for summoning soldiers (having a base and the relevant buildings/facilities), reduces their cost and speeds up their summoning time to be instant. If this was just limited to this initial time, then it would be fine. But it isn't.At chapter 18, after he has discovered that a beast tide is about to attack the nearby gathering point where a love interest is, he receives a quest from the system to rescue her with the reward being, basically, a random lootbox. The issue is that the quest grants him an increased level of permissions temporarily as well as the ability to summon a helicopter, whilst again waiving the requirements (having an air field) as soon as the quest starts, not even as rewards. It feels like the system, whenever needed for the plot, will simply waive any requirements and grant him whatever it wants in the guise of a quest. Another small thing, which I'm not sure if it is just how his system is, or if it is translation errors, is that his system just does things as it wants without informing him or letting him choose. In the first chapter it asks him if he wants to summon the soldiers, provides him a cost breakdown and then immediately summons them without any confirmation.The requirement to deploy the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) and barracks is temporarily waived, and soldiers can be directly constructed. The host currently has 1000 initial energy points, and each soldier requires 100 energy points. Does the host want to build soldiers?""A soldier takes one minute to build. Considering the host's current situation, an additional 10 energy points are required to eliminate the construction time. The host can build a total of 9 soldiers."As soon as the system finished speaking, nine figures appeared in front of Su Chen.In a later chapter whilst he is grinding, he gets automatically levelled up to 2 without the system informing him until he asks. For some reason this also cuts the amount of energy he received from the enemies in half as well, which doesn't really make sense since the energy is obtained from the corpses of the beasts. Him Levelling up doesn't affect them in any way. If it was EXP, then it'd make sense, but this energy acts more like currency in that it is used for everything.Finally, there is also some weirdly phrased parts and the usual basic math problems.Thinking of this, Su Chen decided to make five hunting dogs and four engineers.One hunting dog requires 100 energy points, and one engineer requires 100 energy points. Su Chen spent 1400 energy points at once. #panic# the 3 latest chapters are empty Last two chapters are empty#panic# I Love Chapter [NAN].Who Doesn't Love Chapter [NAN].#panic# I think your bot broke on reading chapter names Thanks! Red alert?!!!? Indeed. Overall, I quite liked this novel. However, I believe that there are parts that become repetitive and can end up becoming boring for some readers. Most readers are here for the system and not the harem. The novel is light and does not involve a harem, but a wife. The racism tag is about the "alien/monster/mutant races", not involving the human races, which are barely mentioned or even ignored, maybe only mentioned in a paragraph at the beginning. The main character is a quiet individual and doesn't experience many tragedies or hardships. He is also someone who prefers to stay behind the scenes and does not tend to fight head-on, preferring to delegate tasks. As the novel progresses, the plot becomes more complex, but this is only superficial and does not require much thought. We can safely say that this is a novel about wish fulfillment.Rank C+ I see guns, monster and system GUNSJoin the ranobe discord, link in my profile

Power comes with a cost... and it was something she was willing to trade her soul for.

A few nights before her wedding, Lauren sought a way to break her fourth engagement. Known for her bad reputation as the rebel princess, she was the only lady who had the guts to step foot on the Everston mansion, the house of a notorious warlord, in the middle of the night.

She offered him a wicked alliance that the entire kingdom did not see coming: a marriage.

A vixen pretending to be a damsel in distress and a man whose crimson eyes screaming for bloodshed. Could something blossom in this treacherous dance of lies and deception?

“Are you upset?”

She eyed him sharply. “Should I be honored that I got tricked by you, milord?”

He drank the remaining wine in his glass with one gulp and put it on the wooden table.

He stepped in front of her. His hand was on the rail on her side while his other hand grabbed her glass and finished her wine before putting it down.

The way his Adam's apple moved with his every violent gulp made her feel a tickling heat around her nape.

When he brought his attention back to her, he licked his lips to wipe off the trace of wine.

“How shall I make it up to you then?” he asked with his deep voice, like a seductive devil asking his victim how she would like to be killed. Dangerous yet… enthralling.

“Infinite Abilities Academy”

On his first day at Infinite Abilities Academy, Class F freshman Su Bei awakened a new ability. It was only then that he realized their world was actually a manga. And the protagonist of this manga was his classmate Jiang Tianming.

But that’s not the main point. The main point is that in the next chapter of the manga, he, Su Bei, is destined to die tragically in the restroom! This event would kick off the protagonist’s first challenge at the ability academy.

Su Bei: …

The only good news is that this chapter of the manga hasn’t been published yet. He can alter the course of the story and save himself from a cannon fodder’s fate through his actions.

As everyone knows, becoming friends with the protagonist doesn’t guarantee escape from plot-induced death, but becoming the protagonist’s enemy will certainly result in defeat at the protagonist’s hands.

Under the blazing sunlight, the golden-haired boy smiled recklessly, yet there was a hint of solemnity in his purple eyes: “Saluting you on behalf of fate, the unluckiest of the unlucky in this generation~”

I've been waiting for a new chapter for 2 months, does anyone know what happened with the translator? I tried the mtlMe. Lost. Brain. Cell Is yanran, the terminally ill girl still alive?! I came looking for copper, and I found gold, I want to give this 5 stars, but I can’t because the world background is practically non existent, it’s a little unrealistic at times, but it’s a chinese novel with a system, what do you expect It's good. I'll give it 4.6/5. 4.7 stars? Interesting. #panic# mtl doesnt work Fixed? yes thankyou Have read all available chapters (70). It's a good read imo, but don't expect things to be completely logical in terms of how things would work irl. Given his location is constantly being broadcast, it's extremely likely that there would be people abusing that and messing with the show if it actually happened. Also they just allow him to steal and commit crimes whilst letting him keep the money, which wouldn't work at all irl. It's extremely clear in the latest chapters where he straight up Spoilerproperly murders like 15 drug dealers who have taken a family of 4 hostage, whilst the live broadcast remains on and then after is praised by the police for stepping up.I think once you accept these things then you can really enjoy how things play out and how MC plans things and outsmarts the team trying to capture him. Oh so youd have to shut down some part of your brain then for a bit. Guess ill try This is really interesting. The plot, characters, and setting isn’t really crazy or anything but it’s fun to read. Like other people said, it’s really similar to Starting By Acting As A Bank Robber, I Shock The World, but that novel had a terrible rushed ending while this novel has 1000+ chapters so I doubt it’ll end quickly, if anything they’ll probably drag it out endlessly. The premise is that the mc and many other (others aren’t really important) are chose randomly as ‘futigives’ in this show where famous people lead police officers to find them. Everything is live-streamed, including the ‘fugitives’ POV and the famous people’s POV. Of course neither side can view the livestream, and the famous people leading the police officers can only view cameras normal police officers can view. It’s usually pretty simple for the police officers to find them but the mc is different as he got a Peerless Bandit system. This system gives him points to use on skills and physical/intelligence stats for however many shock points he gets from the livestream audience. Thus, the mc needs to act audacious and destroy the police officers and famous people with his intelligence, wit, and skills. That’s how the story has gone for the past 70 chapters, but it seems there’s 1410 chapters, which makes it seem there will be more to the plot later on since this game show isn’t supposed to be that long. So honestly I would recommend this is you don’t want to think too much and want something to read to quickly pass time. Survival game? I rather do science experiments on humans

The footsteps sounded closer, and closer, and closer, until he faintly heard Siri's voice welcoming someone into the house, but before he could open his eyes to see who it was, he felt a large hand gripping his neck, his legs were locked tightly between much larger ones, and, he felt the cold metal of a gun placed directly on his...gun.

Zeno quickly opened his eyes from instincts, ready to fight off his attacker, but the moment he did so, he was met with mesmerizing dark grey orbs, staring dangerously at him.

The face of his attacker was too close, he couldn't make out his features, but he knew they were sharp, even from a closed look.

He didn't bother fighting, he didn't want to lose his junior member down there, and his Nana still expected grandchildren from him. He couldn't disappoint her.

“Who. Are. You?” The voice of his attacker was so deep, dark, and commanding.

Zeno was a fighter, but he felt a chill run down his spine from the sound of the voice.

The hand around Zeno's neck tightened, but he endured it, he was a fighter.

Judging by his attacker's looks and actions of confidence, this was his boss.

~~~

After losing his parents and being faced with an unbelievable medical bill, Zeno Evander finds himself working as a Manny for a mysterious Billionaire, but it doesn't last long; after almost being killed by the Mafia billionaire, Zeno swore never to return to that place again.

But after a week of escaping the Mafia billionaire, Zeno finds himself kidnapped and Blackmailed into signing a year's contract as the Mafia's Manny and bodyguard.

Could Zeno escape his evil and monstrous boss? Or would he be consumed by him? Consumed by the forbidden passion he felt build up between them? Would he risk his life just to experience the burn of forbidden love?

After the betrayal from his family, ex-wife, and friend five years ago, Sebastian Orion became a totally different being.

He became cold, aloof, and dangerous as he rose to become the most feared Mafia king of the underworld, and everyone who heard his name shivered from fear.

He distrusted everyone and hated any form of human relationships, building a thick wall around himself.

But, not until his son's manny came into the picture.

Zeno irritated him in every way, he hated the mere sight of his bodyguard and would have chosen to kill him if not for the sake of his son.

Sebastian always tried to push Zeno away by treating him in the lowest way possible.

But when the contract was coming to an end, were his feelings still the same? Or did he suddenly realize that it wasn't only his son that needed Zeno?

~~~

“What are you waiting for? Leave!” Sebastian snarled bitterly.

He would have to speak with Butler Nicole to find out why he brought back this stupid clown to his house.

He had just returned from yet another trip, just to find this nuisance in his house again.

He hated Zeno so much; he was classless and looked extremely dangerous to be near his son; who knew if he was sent as a snitch by an enemy?

“I'm sorry, boss, but I can't,” Zeno said and stood his ground.

Leaving would mean he wanted his Nana to die; no, he'd rather stay here and take all punches that came his way; he was used to it.

“What?!” Sebastian couldn't believe that such stupid people were still existing in the world.

“I can't leave,” Zeno repeated.

Blue Kent, also known as Ice King, is a Dominant Omega who despises Alphas. But for his new book, he needs an Alpha whom he can use as a model for his main character.

Luckily for Blue, an Extremely Dominant Alpha, Winter Dumont, comes into his life and offers to be used as a model for his book character.

This offer isn’t made without personal interest. Winter is a scumbag who likes conquering Omegas with fierce personalities.

Blue just happens to be an Omega who fits perfectly into Winter’s ideal prey.

With Winter relentlessly chasing Blue, will he be able to withstand temptation due to his hatred for Alphas or will Winter’s eccentric personality change his views about Alphas?

[MATURE CONTENT]

He wanted to ruin her by every means but what happens when he is the one who becomes her protector in an enemy kingdom?

Can she survive in a kingdom where nothing but hostility awaits her?

Synopsis:

In the year 299 of the Lunar System, a mysterious red streak fell to Earth, landing in unclaimed territory between the kingdoms of Eldoria and Selvarys. The discovery of magical red stones sparked a decade-long war between the two nations.

To end the bloodshed, the kings of Eldoria and Selvarys arranged a marriage between Princess Cynthia, whose reputation in high society was marred by scandal, and Prince Lucian, the illegitimate son of Selvarys’s king.

Princess Cynthia, known as a villainess and troublemaker, had recently faced a broken engagement. Despite her notoriety, she agreed to the marriage to stop the war and save her people.

Prince Lucian, recently returned from the battlefield, despised the thought of marrying an enemy princess. However, as an illegitimate prince, obeying the king’s command was his only way to survive the palace conspiracies.

In a marriage marked by mutual disdain and distrust, can they put aside their hatred and learn to live together? Or will the hostility surrounding them in the enemy kingdom be too great to overcome?

Excerpt:

“Your Highness, why do you always avoid looking at me when you speak?” Cynthia asked, her tone firm as she tilted her head curiously.

“Is it because you can’t keep eye contact with me?” she added her words carrying a subtle edge.

To Lucian, her remarks felt like thinly veiled criticism he heard countless times. He clenched his jaw, then raised his eyes, meeting Cynthia's gaze with his striking green-emerald eyes.

“Are you mocking me, Your Highness?” Lucian asked quietly and lifted Cynthia's chin, leaning in closer, his eyes reflected his irritation at the princess’s harsh remarks, their faces nearly touching.

“Well, it doesn't matter to me. As long as you perform your duty as my wife properly, I will have nothing against you. But the moment you fail in your obligations,” his hand slipped on her shoulders as he stared deeply into her eyes.

“It’s the moment you will regret this marriage. You will regret marrying into an enemy kingdom where you have no one to protect you from harm. Where not even your husband is by your side.”

A soft chuckle escaped Cynthia, confusing the man before her.

“I will not regret any of it. You will regret it when you fall in love with someone you don't even wish to see,” she mumbled.

He was precocious from birth. By the age of seven or eight, he already had some clear personal rules. However, during his five years at the Twin Immortals Sect, he hardly ever did anything willingly. So, after gaining his freedom, he strived to make sure everything he did aligned with his wishes and made him feel at peace. This wasn’t an easy task, but he enjoyed it immensely.

It’s true that he pursued immortality. But the immortality he sought, or rather, yearned for, was nothing like the ruthless and cruel immortality of the Twin Immortals, Zi Lei and Chi Yin. Nor was it the petty and sordid kind sought by the Sun Light Sect or the Thousand Spirit Gate.

Many times, he would do things that seemed inexplicable to others: unrelated to morality, unrelated to profit, unrelated to right or wrong, good or evil. There was only one sufficient reason behind all this: immortality encompasses all meaningful pursuits.

I have a mirror, reflecting the mountains and rivers of the universe;

I have a sword, cutting through the realms of human hearts and ghosts;

I have a city, seated among the clouds of the Nine Heavens;

I have a heart, smiling through the trials on the path to immortality.

Why do people seek immortality? Because immortality embraces all desires and signifies infinite possibilities.

What happens when a goddess falls in love with a shifter?

Asara; the goddess of love, was punished by her father, the god of thunder.

Her crime being falling in love with a mortal shifter Alpha.

To pay for her sins she was reborn as Cassandra LeBlanc; a mortal Princess in the magical Kingdom of Speldaria.

Her family and kingdom, except her middle sister, shunned her for she was born without any magical abilities and she had no recollections of her true identity.

Her betrothed, the powerful mage commander of the Speldaria, was unbothered by her. He wished for someone strong.

Cassandra’s life was toppled when she was gifted a warrior slave by the mighty Alpha of Dusartine. She was asked to take part in the Yearly Arena Event by collaborating with the warrior.

Cassandra who hated ‘The Arena’ with her very breath. A place where blood flowed like wine and life was cheaper than the very air they breathed didn't understand her purpose in it.

On top of that, the mysterious warrior affected her in unimaginable ways.

His hypnotic gaze unsettled her.

His rare essence overwhelmed her.

His muscular bronzed body consumed her with sinful thoughts.

Even the dreams of her past life plagued her.

When ‘The Arena' began the hidden agendas and underlying truths came to light and Cassandra was played a hand of fate. She was left with no choice but to give in and choose a path.

The question would be.

How will Cassandra grapple once she learns of the curse placed on her?

Will she be able to obtain her magical abilities and stand up to her father?

Who will help her along the journey?

~Excerpt~

Then she felt him, all of him.

All his ruggedness.

The strength of his arm.

The softness of his lips.

The grip of his hand.

The warmth of his breath.

Every muscle in her body went taut at the implications of sleeping in a man’s arms. She had never slept in a male’s embrace before.

Her whole skin tingled like tiny sparks dancing on the very parts that connected with him.

The crevices of her brain had these memories which weren't hers. This touch somehow didn't seem foreign to her. She felt safe in his soothing embrace and didn't wish to push him away and yet she knew this was far from appropriate.

Cassandra tried to wriggle out of his hold, his arms seemed to be built from iron for they wouldn't budge.

The light garment she had worn had lifted from her milky thigh baring it as his bronzed muscular one was draped on it.

And now she could sense something poking her back. Her eyes suddenly expanded from the realisation and Cassandra fully panicked.

“Let go!” She voiced out, heavily.

Siroos slowly lifted his leg and slackened his hold on her waist so she could shuffle away. He had awakened when she had stiffened for the first time but wished to behold what she would try.

With eyes blown wide she stole a glance towards the man who had her wrapped in his embrace like a precious treasure, his treasure.

His molten gold eyes had flickered open and there was this softness and want with which he stared at her.

Those soft brown curls cascaded over his eyes as he forgot to blink, watching the timeless beauty that she was. Her one-of-a-kind fragrance was a torture to his senses.

How he wished to grab her dainty ankle, pull her from it and have her sprawled underneath him. To kiss the very skin that oozed such scent which was driving him insane.

Instead, he bent his arm and placed it under his cheek using it like a pillow to watch her with desire-filled eyes.

The awkward lull between them prolonged as Cassandra cleared her throat.

“Did you have to climb on me to sleep?”

“It wasn't intentional but was certainly enticing and definitely won't be the last time.” His deeply hypnotic voice was even more alluring this early in the morning as it resonated all around her.
