During an internal Navy hearing, the top brass conducted a serious inquiry into Rogers Daren, the so-called "scum of the Marines" and Admiral of the North Blue. "You’ve had improper relations with royal princesses and noble ladies from multiple North Blue kingdoms?" "I call it showing care for the people." Marines High Command: … "How do you explain the absurdly high salaries of the North Blue Marines under your command?" "Well, with what the HQ pays, how else do you expect them to risk their lives?" Marines High Command: (ーー`) "Why is the North Blue fleet equipped with technology from Germa?" "That’s just military-civilian cooperation. Germa 66 was moved by my sense of justice." Marines High Command: (○_○) "And how do you explain the unusual deaths of a Celestial Dragon in the North Blue?" Daren sighed. "A maritime accident… truly unfortunate. I personally express my deepest condolences." Marines High Command: (._.?) And so begins the story of a rebellious, unorthodox Marine.

Thirty Years East, Thirty Years West. Don’t you bully the young and poor! Split open the sky! Go against Heaven! Sick and tired of that kind of cultivation quote and troupe? The never-ending long grind that seemed to have one world after another once you supposedly reached the false apexes? Well, it’s time to broaden your horizons! You shall now be blessed with the perspective of someone who’s at the top of the top: Ye Ming. Someone who had foolishly decided to experience mortal life before realizing how crap it was.

He was the sole Young Master of a family who dominated everything already. Trash cultivation? Trash spiritual roots? Trash background? Sorry, but that ain’t Ye Ming! However, he does have one great and relatable trait: procrastination.

Voda follows Adrian Voss, a battle-hardened adventurer who treats every mission like it’s just another excuse to stay ahead of his past. Officially, he’s a lowly C-rank. Unofficially, he’s the guy you send when you want a problem erased—fast, messy, and with a smirk.

This work is now put on hiatus and continued in the new original work with the title "Catalyst Cross Lesio". Please read that from now on. Also the same story is available on RoyalRoad.com with the new title "Catalyst Cross Lesio" with the username alex_reads. ----------------------------------------- Naph had a couple of years of extremes. One year, he was trying to chase down a few rats in a desert. Another he was hunting bears in a river. There was a year when he just chilled himself on a beach. His volatile heart mayhems his life. This time his hunt had a different breed entirely. Named Bulwark. Quite the bounty on such a name. The only requirement? Bring the head back clean and without damage. Hunting was a sport. At least that’s what he had learned by watching others. Every adult showing off their repertoire of the dead. His volatile nature and teen years hadn’t taught him whom to show off or not. Bulwark was his first human kill. Yet it was his first insight into what a ‘catalyst’ could do. His survival had been on his intellect earlier, but not anymore. The world responded. He ran. Ran into things he hadn’t heard. Will the world make him another number in its long list of the dead? Or will he learn its truths? Will he know of the unspoken words he hadn’t processed? His heart a volatile entity; the world a raging a beast chasing him. And a few words that he didn’t knew- yet one etched itself in: “Cata”.

Wu Hei, a soon-to-be college dropout, is suddenly teleported to a mysterious Battle Arena as he was trying to queue one more PUGB game. With Earth (and his) fate in the balance, can he master this new game fast enough or will he be just another pawn in Kami's game.

“Finally, I have been reincarnated... how unexpected, but welcome,” said Anthony Grey. This is the tale of Anthony Grey, a man once hailed — and feared — as the Merchant of Death and Destruction. In the 21st century, he was a controversial genius, the mind behind devastating weapons that shaped wars and ultimately fueled the fires of World War III. His relentless pursuit of scientific advancement, especially in pushing the limits of the human condition, earned him both admiration and hatred. Yet, despite all his brilliance, Anthony succumbed to a rare, incurable genetic disease. With his death, Earth finally knew peace. But his creations — weapons of terrifying power — remained, echoing the aesthetics of science fiction legends. Years later, Earth was invaded by an interstellar race bent on conquest and enslavement. Humanity stood on the brink — until they turned to the remnants of Anthony's legacy. His weapons, once symbols of destruction, became Earth's last hope. Through sacrifice and courage, humanity emerged victorious, capturing alien technology and forging a new era. In the aftermath, Anthony Grey was no longer a villain. Statues were erected, temples of memory built, and his name enshrined as a hero who had saved humanity even in death. That worship, unknowingly, lit the spark for his soul’s return — granting him a second chance. Now reincarnated, Anthony Grey begins a new journey… in a new world, with a legacy of fire behind him and a future of infinite possibilities ahead.

Front Page is "DARCIA PHRANGNERTH". (Chapter 135→) "The world of Leathemnur is dangerous, yet, there is beauty in the chaos if you learn how to appreciate it". That is what Khallyon Cravemeneer always thought, until he learned how easy he could lose everything he had acquired across most of his life. What can a Mortal do in the face of actual absolute power?. What can anyone do to prevail before Time? Nothing. That is the cruel, raw reality. And as most people, Khallyon was oblivious of events occurring literally before his eyes. This went on, until he accidentally started to uncover the truth. Believing he had acquired a way to protect what matters the most, Memories, which is what makes everyone the person they become. Unbeknown to Khallyon, he was delving deeper into despair, rather than going out of it. NO CHEATS NO PLOT ARMOR NO VANILLA EASY LIFE DON'T GET FOOLED BY THE START OR THE SLOW PROGRESS READ UNTIL CHAPTER 51 A FAIR SHARE OF: ACTION BEAUTIES MYSTERIES A WHOLE LOT OF: SMUT BONDING INDECENCY COMMENT FOR: KINKS DOUBTS SUGGESTIONS Additional Information: I would publish TWO Chapters a Day. English is not my first language, that is why, any mistake I made across the story, feel free to point it out for me to correct it as soon as possible. (This is the old synopsis Read it if you want to know more about the general context) The "Imperishable", Entities Above Everything Else, understood this undeniable truth eons ago, gifting to the Mortals a few tools to overcome the challenges across their lives. With this, amusing their own boring existences, looking with enthusiasm what new story could unfold, or if the same mistakes would be done once again but by a different person. The First Gift, is "Shards", called "Cards" by some, this otorgue instant rewards when you exchange them in an "Imperishable Monolith". The Second Gift, is the mentioned structure, capable of craft almost anything if you have the recipe, blueprint and the required materials and ingredients, a true aberration depending on who you ask. The Third Gift, is the "Perennence", with a 100 you won't Die if you are slain, you simply would "Respawn" in a "Memory Hall", making you partially Immortal, because as long as you have 1 of Perennence, you wouldn't be really dead, and someone else can "Revive" you by providing the missing resource. However, this comes with a drawback, you become a "Servant" of the person or thing that save your life, at least until you repay the Perennence plus an Interest of 50%. The Fourth Gift, is "The Memory Hall", unfortunately, they had an evil twin, "The Howling Wall", which are created in places that had seen too many "Take Downs" in a short span of time; Differently to the prodigal twin, you must have a minimum of 25 Perennence to be Respawned, otherwise, at best, you become an Immaterial entity, similar to a ghost, if not, a mindless beast or a simple Drone for a Hive Mind is not far fetched. Lastly, The Fifth Gift, is divided in three concepts, "Repercussion", "Traits" and "Work", being the last, one of the most unfair of all the Gifts, as you can't change your Work under any circumstances, which applies even for "The Imperishable". But the Gifts don't come for free, as they attract a series of weird creatures from unknown Invasive Territories, sprouting the so called "Graveyards", "Factories", "Hives", "Nests", "Lairs", "Crops" and "Farms" across the entire world of "Leathemnur".
