Do NOT expect a villain mc, he is righteous through and through, but he can be merciless to his enemies. >Two, don't expect regular updates. >Three, there will be cursing and I may not have the most accurate geographical information so may update chapters to fix it

In a harsh, desolate village where food is scarce and hunting is the primal means of survival, a low-level lord awakens with an extraordinary power — the Refund System. This mysterious system allows him to reclaim and multiply resources spent on his land, people, and summonings, with multipliers ranging from 15x to an unimaginable 10,000x. But the true strength lies not only in the lord’s undead summoning ability as a necromancer but in the bond he shares with his eight-year-old sister, a gifted Elemental Artificer whose unique hybrid class controls the elements through alchemy and weather manipulation. Together, they rebuild their small village into a thriving kingdom. With every resource spent, every effort made, the Refund System returns their investments with overwhelming rewards — converting these into System Points that empower the lord’s growth, unlock skills, and fund the village’s expansion. As their power grows, so too do their enemies, and the looming Lord’s War promises to test the strength of their alliance, skills. Will the lowly lord and his sister rise to claim their destiny, or will their fragile village fall to ruin?

Feared across the continent as the Bloody Duke of the South, Lucien Valecrest brought the empire to its knees in a decade-long war of rebellion. Cold, cunning, and charming in the most terrifying way, he carved a path through nobles and kings alike—until the arrow struck his heart in the emperor’s throne room. He died laughing… and then woke up ten years earlier. Now armed with a mind sharpened by war, secrets of traitors yet to act, and a forbidden blood magic only he can wield, Lucien sets his gaze on a single goal: do it all again, but better. Smarter. Faster. Bloodier. But there's a problem. Love. Specifically, them—the future enemies, allies, and pawns he once manipulated or murdered... who now keep catching his interest in all the wrong ways. A sharp-tongued baroness immune to his fear tactics. A priestess hiding a darker side. A loyal knight far too noble for her own good. And the one woman he swore he'd never fall for again. He may be a villain, but this time? He’s falling. And it’s ruining everything.

Michel died peacefully, leaving his world behind. But without his consent, he was cast into a new universe, forced to change the fate of a world he barely remembered. Yet, faced with the brutality of his mission, he refused to sacrifice an innocent life. Now, transformed into a spirit guide, Michel accompanies Hinata Hyūga—a girl broken by her own clan—as they navigate a fragile balance together, where any mistake could condemn them both. In a world where willpower is everything, two broken souls will seek not only to survive... but to defy destiny itself. ------ This is a fan fiction written by me. I was also thinking of posting it on ScribbleHub. English isn't my native language. I'm not going to say I know everything about the world, and I admit I take a lot of literal liberties to put this together. For a while now, I've read a lot of stories that I've enjoyed and others that I haven't, so I decided to try to write something that I would have liked to read. So here I am, writing a little for myself and a little to share with anyone who wants to read.

Caelen died doing what he loved most: playing survival games non-stop like a sleep-deprived goblin. Unfortunately, dying in your chair from gaming overload isn’t exactly what you’d call a dignified exit. Even God laughed at him. But lucky for Caelen, or maybe unlucky, he gets a second chance in the world of his favorite survival game. It’s a brutal fantasy realm full of monsters, magic, swords… and absolutely zero indoor plumbing. Armed with only a stone pickaxe, a limited-use "Google Brain" search skill, and the stubbornness of a man who once built a Minecraft mansion out of dirt, Caelen sets out to survive. But surviving isn’t enough he wants to upgrade the world. Electricity? Toilets? Toasted bread? Why not all three? As he fends off nighttime horrors, awkwardly crafts furniture, and tries to avoid becoming monster chow, Caelen has one mission: bring modern convenience to a medieval world, one ridiculous invention at a time. And maybe, just maybe… not die again in a chair. [System Notes:No Ntr, No Yuri(gl), No Yaoi(bl)]

In exchange for freedom, the Dragon offered him a contract and a new name, Three years of pain. Three years of torture. Three years of absorbing the ancient mana buried under the labyrinth.

The abandoned races will follow. And his wives will fight beside him. This time, Aaron will not be a pawn. He will command. He will conquer. He will become a God.

In the realm of Teneria, situated on the continent of Erica, three princesses are poised for significant achievements. Runa, designated as the chosen one, wants to restore the kingdom to its former prominence. Scarlet is motivated by retribution, strives to reclaim her lost domain, and seeks vengeance for her people. Jessica, prepared to foster unity across the realm, must adeptly navigate the complex landscape of power dynamics and political maneuvering. Their trajectories converge upon the resurfacing of the Blue Compass, concealed for over four centuries. This compass serves as a navigational instrument leading to the esteemed Nadine Nectar that bestows upon the consumer the ability to attain dominion over all creatures. The unexpected re-emergence of the Blue Compass, a long-lost artifact, disrupts the prevailing peace and incites widespread conflict. Nations that had previously maintained a fragile harmony now find themselves in opposition. The three princesses, each embodying a distinct destiny, emerge at the forefront of this turmoil. As nations unfurl their war banners and issue battle cries, the location of the Nectar becomes known solely to the individual in possession of the Blue Compass. As the princesses undertake a perilous journey to secure the Nectar, they must confront personal adversities, cultivate unexpected alliances, and confront formidable adversaries. However, as they move closer to their objective, they realize that the price of power may exceed their initial expectations. The crucial question remains: will Runa, Scarlet, and Jessica surmount their differences and collaborate to obtain the Nectar, or will their divergent paths lead to the undoing of the Realm? This is Teneria, where the quest for power and the authentic essence of greatness are rigorously examined.

[WSA Entry 2025] : “Is love about who made your heart race… or who knew when to step back so it could keep beating?” Silas loved her in secret, in sacrifice. Caelum loves her in presence, in patience. And she— She stands at the heart of it all, carrying a love shaped by memory and promise, torn between what was, and what dares to be. Not every heart chooses loudly. Some stay. Some let go. But in the end, she must ask not just who loves her— but who walks beside her when the storm comes. As ancient vows awaken and forgotten missions collide, Lhady must confront not only who she loves… but why. Is it the comfort of a future built slowly and safely? Or the echo of a past carved in sacrifice? In the end, Have You Someone to Protect? is not just a question of loyalty—it’s a question of love, identity, and the burdens we carry for those we dare to keep close. And whom does she, in turn, choose to protect?

"Now, go forth, my mortal champion! Conquer this world—or else!" I lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving me a second chance in another world. There, I became royalty—the lazy kind with almost no obligations, free to live in peace and luxury for the rest of my days. Sounds like a dream, right? In reality, it was anything but—because I became *BEE* royalty. A Drone Bee, doomed to die of old age in 2 months! (A humanoid bee, thankfully, but still a bee in all the ways that matter.) The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony—a deadly task in a vicious world like this one. There are murderous insect monsters, colossal beasts trampling the earth, other civilizations, natural disasters, and the bitchy patron goddess who absolutely hates me. But as long as I have my brains, my bees, and the powerful genes my system gives me, my Bee Empire will be unstoppable! === For those who want to know more: This is a wholesome comedic story, but it has some dark moments. The focus is on kingdom building, survival as an empire, and interacting with MC’s beautiful bee wife and adorable bee daughters. The bees are all humanoid (see pictures) and human-sized. However, they are still bees in their ways of life and mentality. Although there’s a system, real growth comes from putting effort and time. Nothing happens in an instant in this story, unless it’s trouble. MC acts like an idiot sometimes (oftentimes), but he’s not actually stupid-stupid. When it comes to strategic decisions, he uses logic and reason. Even if you might disagree with it. Also, there will be no smut (ecchi is a fair game), incest, NTR, harem or BL. === Discord is up!

'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'
