The Kingmaker System

AnimeVerseGirl
"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

The Chief's Secret Wife

He slammed the divorce papers onto her face, Kong Chengyi's face dark as he snarled, "Hua Lianxi, I can't even stand looking at you anymore, you disgust me. Get out of my sight, now!" The thin paper grazed her face before falling. The momentary sting on her cheek made Hua Lianxi lower her head to look at the papers on the floor. She touched her stinging cheek with her fingertip and then raised her head, a dazzling smile blooming on her face: "Sorry for dirtying you. With money, I can be as willful as I want. Thanks for the check."

Creating the Hyperfantastic

A young man sits alone, facing the vast ocean, holding a strand of spiritual energy, and pointing toward the boundless world. In this world, wherever things are wrong, they can be fixed. Some have slain dragons with a single strike, their blades bathed in dragon blood. Others, once fond of serving chicken soup, now tend to nine phoenixes in their backyard. There are those who sat at the mountain's peak, speaking with such eloquence that their words alone could silence a million troops. And some wielded their brushes to move mountains and reshape the landscape, crafting intricate scrolls that could imprison gods and immortals. Yet, when spring arrived and the flowers bloomed, they were merely ordinary figures—a humble butcher, a disreputable scholar, a chicken farmer, and a penniless artist. This is the story of how a low-level martial world is transformed into a hyper-fantastic, boundless realm. From the mundane to the extraordinary, a young man leads the charge, ushering in an era of change. Bold enough to challenge everything, he and his companions will forge a legend that will never be forgotten.

Rewriting My Fate in the Apocalypse

Leng Pan never expected her late-night rant after reading a book about the apocalypse to change her life forever. Frustrated by the sheer stupidity of the second female lead in the novel; Apocalypse Rebirth', she criticized her tragic death, and the character’s blind loyalty to the female lead. But when Leng Pan wakes up, she finds herself inside the very novel; as the second female lead! She realizes she had transmigrated into the novel on the day she’s meant to hand over the jade bangle with a space to the so-called “best friend” who would betray her. With only seven days left before the world falls into chaos, Leng Pan refuses to follow the script. Instead of giving up her greatest advantage, she uses it to stockpile supplies, distances herself from the scheming reborn heroine, and most importantly; fights for the love of the male lead who once died trying to save her. Armed with foreknowledge, Leng Pan will change her fate. No more being used as a stepping stone. No more tragic endings. This time, she will survive. And she will thrive, even in the apocalypse. But what happens when the butterfly effect of her transmigration changes the script? Will her plans fail to keep up with the changes or will she rise above the author’s imagination and write her own story with the man who would kill and die for her?

Edenfall: Recode

In the year 2090, Edenfall was more than just a game—it was the world’s second reality. Players fought, traded, and lived inside the virtual realm… until five years ago, when its creator vanished without a trace. Then, the sky cracked. From the rift between code and reality, monsters poured into the real world—creatures that no gun, no missile, no nuclear weapon could destroy. Cities burned. Nations fell. And billions died. But from the ashes of collapse, something awakened in humanity. Powers once locked inside the game sparked to life in the real world. Guilds formed. Gates appeared. And the war for survival began.
