I Regress if the Villainess Dies!

Xian died uncovering a hidden route in Rozenfall: Romance and Ruin, a fantasy academy dating sim game, neglecting himself in hopes of reaching the game's doomed villainess. He soon found himself before mysterious entities who were impressed by the dedication that led to his demise. As punishment disguised as a reward, they cast him into the very game world he had obsessed over, tasking him with reaching its so-called True End. Awakening in the very scene he had finally uncovered, Xian stands before the villainess he had been trying to save. Only for her to order his execution. His new life ended as soon as it began. But as if it were a cruel joke, he opened his eyes once again, standing before the very same villainess who wanted him dead. Equipped with the knowledge he accumulated through countless playthroughs, Xian has no intention of following any ending imposed by either the game or the mysterious entities. Instead, he'll pursue what no one had ever achieved in the game, an ending where none of the heroines he cherished are left behind, especially the untouchable villainess. But the moment he awakened on the villainess' route, Xian realized he wasn't walking the path of the game's protagonist anymore. Every decision now led to outcomes he had never seen in the game. A blessing in disguise is too good to be true, and what you deem happiness, others may deem madness. What to Expect Fantasy academy with mystery, politics, and action. A protagonist who succeeds through preparation, deduction, and planning. Character-driven romance with multiple heroines. Long-term foreshadowing and planned payoffs. Progression where every victory comes with consequences. Updates will roughly be 1 to 2 chapters a week past chapter 40

Warm My Bed, Brother-in-law

“Spread your legs for me until your husband wakes up.” I barely have time to breathe before I’m pressed against the office door. His fist tightens in my hair, and his other hand hikes my skirt up without hesitation, like this was always going to happen. His lips hover at my ear, his voice quiet and deadly. “Six months, Elena,” Damian murmurs, knuckles brushing the inside of my thigh. “For six months, my brother will get your name, and I get your body. Fair, isn’t it?” I should push him away. I should scream until someone hears me. I should be thinking about my husband lying in a hospital bed, machines breathing for him. Instead, my fingers clutch my husband’s brother’s shirt, and I hate that my body responds before my mouth can find the word no. Because in a world built on blood and betrayal, the only man who’s ever looked at me like I was more than a decoration is my husband’s much younger brother. I’m Elena Vitale, 38, wife of a powerful mafia boss now clinging to life in a coma and somehow, I'm the one left holding an empire I never wanted. And the only person ruthless enough to help me hold it together is Damian Vitale. At 26, he’s the black sheep of the family… an exiled hacker who built his own ruthless syndicate from nothing but resentment, genius, and an obsession with me that began when he was nineteen. Our deal is brutally simple. He’ll protect my husband’s empire. He’ll hunt the traitor who put a bullet in his brother’s chest. And in exchange, I’ll give the devil everything he’s craved for years. My body. My surrender. My soul… until the day my husband opens his eyes.

While everyone else seems to have found their place, he remains a stranger among familiar faces, trying to get through each day without drawing attention to himself. Then he meets Choi Seung-min.

But youth isn't only about laughter, friendship, and memories. Behind closed doors, Do-yoon carries problems no one at school knows about. Seung-min has struggles of his own.

I Died During The College Debate and Awoke as the Heavenly Debater

Is this what happens when a debater dies? Charlie Kellan was a college student who spent his life arguing, questioning, and dismantling the ideas of others through nothing more than words. His life ended unexpectedly during a university debate, and when Death came to collect his soul, Charlie was sent into reincarnation and awakened in a world where Cultivation Reigns Supreme! Here, strength determines status, powerful cultivators can shatter mountains, and countless paths to immortality have already been developed. Charlie creates something the cultivation world has never seen before The Verbal Arts! What begins as a peculiar technique gradually develops into a complete cultivation system built upon rhetoric, logic, psychology, persuasion, and the manipulation of conviction. However, the stronger the Verbal Arts become, the more terrifying their potential appears. A sword can injure the body. A spell can destroy the soul. But words? Words can make someone destroy themselves. As Charlie's techniques spread throughout the cultivation world, the righteous sects begin to condemn them, while demonic cultivators recognize their potential. Eventually, the Verbal Arts are classified as a branch of the Demonic Arts. Charlie, however, doesn't understand why everyone is so surprised. After all, he has never believed that a weapon needs to be made of metal. Sometimes... All you need is an argument. Note: - Daily Chapters for First 2 Weeks - Inspired By Charlie Kirk not the Real Charlie Kirk - No filters I will write it to the very detail even if this gets banned and if it does ill write in Patreon for Free - First 3 chapters are AI but I used my old novel as a blueprint since it kinda fit the novel and i decided to start this novel since I've always wanted to write a Novel where the MC only has Verbal Powers and I figured it's the best time to start.

The Rise of the Unbound Sovereign Sect

Ten thousand years ago, the Ascended Masters abandoned this realm, leaving behind a saturated, chaotic wasteland. Now, the remnants—towering, violent giants bloated on stagnant Qi—rule the ruins of the golden age. They don't cultivate. They just exist, trapped in an endless, brutal loop of survival and stagnation. Julian didn't reincarnate with a magical system, a heavenly physique, or a mysterious master. He fell from the void as a hundred-and-twenty-pound mortal with a degree in Ethnobotany, a pocket of stainless steel acupuncture needles, and a terrifying realization: he is the weakest thing in a world of predators. To the giants, he is just a rabbit. A piece of soft meat. To survive, Julian must prove he is a useful tool, but not too useful. He can't fight them, and the tribe only wants to use him, but Julian didn’t dedicate his life to studying the lost arts of cultivation for nothing. Using forgotten mortal medicine to bypass overloaded meridians, he begins to systematically hack the anatomy of the world's monsters to forge his own foundation. But the giants are a dead end. Clinical, selfish, and obsessed with their own survival, they will never see Julian as anything more than an expendable asset. When forced to choose between the familiar cruelty of humanoid masters and the terrifying, toxic unknown of the deep wild, Julian walks into the dark. He chooses the monsters. Stepping into the domain of a dying, Sovereign-tier horror, Julian leaves humanity behind. He won't just hack his way to a foundation; he will engineer his own faction from the ground up. Julian is going to build the Unbound Sovereign Sect, and he won't use a single human to do it. <Author’s Note / Disclaimer:> The medical, anatomical, and acupuncture theories discussed in this novel are based on real-world traditional practices and botanical science. However, they are heavily dramatized for the sake of survival fantasy. Do not attempt to use two-inch surgical steel needles to vent your friend's stagnant Qi, treat snake bites with random ferns, or perform deep-tissue Shenshu point demolition on yourself. It will not give you the physical mass of a giant; it will just put you in the hospital. Read the fiction, leave the needles to the professionals.

Ten Thousand Fleets

Arc Sandhurst will become a mech pilot, even if it kills him. After his sister's ship is attacked by the Pirate Queen of Nepenthe with all hands lost, Arc enters the Imperial Mech Academy on the deathworld Vidako in order to get revenge. The academy is the only place that the son of a silk-worker can get the enhancements that are required to pilot a mech - but first, Arc will have to survive disagreeable roommates, hazing from upperclassmen, the friendship of an imperial princess, and the steaming jungles of Vidako. Regardless of what Arc wants, the Imperium Stellarum will need every good pilot it can get - because empires are built on a foundation of blood, and the sins of the first emperors are about to come due. Lost fleets lurk on the edge of known space; the ruins of ancient races are spread across long-dead worlds; and enemies thought defeated gather their strength once again. War is coming to the Imperium. What to Expect: An intelligent but imperfect MC who progresses in capability and rank over the course of the series. Think the story arc of a Richard Sharpe, Horatio Hornblower, or Honor Harrington. MC will begin as a 4th class cadet and climb the ranks, gaining more autonomy and political power as the years pass. If you want to watch someone climb from cadet to admiral, this is the story for you. Progression elements include genetic modifications, cybernetic implants, humans paired with AI partners, and, of course, upgrading and customizing mechs through battlefield salvage and cutting edge tech. The mech bits are where you'll find the crunch - expect lots of models, variants, and weapon loadouts. Multiple POVs will offer a view of what supporting characters and antagonists are up to, but the focus (and majority of the chapters) will always remain on Arc. The first volume is roughly 80% MC, 20% other POVs, with most of those being the deuteragonist. Power Couple: All characters are over the age of 18, and begin in a military academy environment designed to produce officers. It is my intent to build a relationship into the power couple trope, but expect political foolery and arranged marriage complications along the way, and keep in mind that the characters have to navigate the rules of serving in the Imperial Fleet. HFY: Humanity, and the Imperium Stellarum, are at their core a force for good in the universe. They are flawed, but trying to do the right thing and are in many ways exceptional / aspirational. Four alien species have joined the Imperium because they want to be part of what humanity is building, and see its potential. Slow Burn with character development, politics, conspiracies, and secrets which lead to brutal action. I intend to do at least a volume for each of the four years at the academy, and then a volume each per rank. If things follow the plan I've sketched out, expect 13+ volumes. Inspirations include Battletech, Gundam, Dune, Babylon 5, and Twilight Imperium, among others. Content Warnings: Graphic Violence - This story will feature science fiction battles with mechs as a primary element. Expect people, animals, and places to be lit on fire with enormous flamethrowers, cut in half with plasma swords, crushed under enormous metal feet, and otherwise dismembered. Profanity - The characters in this story are actively serving combat personnel. They will swear. Sensitive Content - Soldiers get PTSD. Alcohol and drugs exist in the universe. Some of those in power abuse their position to traffic or take advantage of those without power. Bad guys do bad guy things. Update Schedule: Five chapters a week, M-F. Any vacations will be announced in advance. Cover by Sarah Murphy. Mech Art by Victor Yañez. There is no use of AI, in any way, in this work. I use em-dashes because I like them, particularly when trying to create dialogue that starts and stops in the way people actually talk. This story is posted on Royal Road, Novelpedia, and my Patreon. If you find it anywhere else, it's been stolen.

Paradise Pokeball System

Alright, so I could tell you some fancy synopsis, but you came here for Pokémon, so it's not like you don't know what is up. Instead, I am going to tell you a bit about the mechanics of my story. First! If you are looking for a journey that includes catching Pokémon and battles, you have come to the right place! But! The Pokémon will all get human like forms after they are caught, and will not be battling very much. They will be doing other things with Landon, the trainer, but I am sure you can rub a couple cents together to figure out what that means! Second! Humans will be caught, but mostly Waifu material. While some guys will be caught, there will be no gay stuff with them and the MC. The girls that he catches will be doubling as his Pokémon because of special skins they get for there poke balls. I could go into that more, but read the damn book! Lastly, there is a lot of sex in this book, but there is a storyline, so there will be times where the smut is spread out, or where it happens back to back. Also, the beginning is a bit rough, and I have to go back and fix some, but everything is straightened out later on. Sorry about that!

Simulated Journey To The Top

The Qiao Empire is a place where cultivation separates the remarkable from the forgotten. It's where a bigger fist is the law, and falling behind means staying behind, forever. Du Yuan is behind.

Earth's knowledge has quietly been turned into leverage.  He has a seat to take over, a clan to expand. A future already meticulously mapped. Then the Simulator arrived.  It made him question the understanding of the world, that took over 16 years to build.  It grants cheats and golden fingers from who knows where.  It runs possibilities he has lived yet hasn't lived and hands him power drawn from their outcomes.

He doesn't plan to change any time soon.  Nonetheless, His original plans need some serious modifications. The roots, however, aren't going anywhere.

As Sai uncovers fragments of a hidden truth buried beneath the town, he realizes Misakiura is connected to something far beyond imagination—a mystery that challenges everything he knows about identity, memory, and the meaning of home. Some worlds are almost identical. Some choices change everything. And sometimes... getting lost is the only way to find where you truly belong.

War for Justice

Every great man believed he was righteous. War for Justice is the story of a boy raised in isolation, shaped by scripture, and pointed toward greatness before he was old enough to choose it. This is a story about faith and what it demands. About brotherhood and what it costs. About power - how it is seized, how it corrupts, and how it convinces good men that what they are doing is still good. Not every tragedy ends with a man who chose evil.
