kingdombuilding

Elias had never been lucky — not once, not ever. Abandoned at birth, raised in suffering, and tormented by a life that never gave him a break, Elias trudged through existence like a ghost wearing human skin. By the age of thirty-two, even his heart gave out, quietly and without drama — just like everything else in his life. It simply… stopped. But death wasn’t the end. Instead, Elias found himself face-to-face with a stunning goddess — the Keeper of Fate. And for the first time, someone finally told him the truth: his entire life had been a mistake. A cosmic error. His Karma, meant for another, had been switched at birth, condemning him to a life of endless misfortune. To make amends, Fate offered him a second chance — a new life, with the luck he had been denied. With a single pull from the divine card deck, Elias drew the Legendary Extraction Talent — an ability that allows him to absorb powers, skills, and even laws of the world itself. From a broken man to a rising force, Elias will forge a new path. He will extract the power of heaven and earth. He will defy fate and ascend to the apex. And this time… luck is finally on his side.

He was a genius city planner. Then a disgraced shut-in. Then a baby in a goblin hut. When Takumi dies a stupid death (instant ramen, no joke), he expects oblivion. Instead, he’s reborn as a helpless human child in a tribe of goblins. With no powers, no skills, and no cheat stats, survival should be impossible. But he has one thing going for him: a brain full of strategy games, city-building know-how, and an absolutely ridiculous talent for bluffing. When adventurers attack his goblin family, he fakes being a legendary curse-bearer—and lives. Now, with the monsters of the world hunted and hated, Takumi sets out to build a nation where they can finally live in peace. He has no magic. No sword. No chosen status. Just lies, heart, and urban development. The goblins call him “Soft-Skin.” The world may soon call him king

After the fall of the Lux Empire, global powers were reshuffled, and the world was reborn. The barbarians of Hov invaded Lux, occupying its lands and asserting their dominance over the rest of the world. Amidst this chaos, Matteo found himself enslaved, striving to survive in a world that was no longer his.

read the first 10 chapter, and you will like it!!! In a world where every 18-year-old is granted a noble title and a domain, Reed was never meant to rule. Born in the slums, he survived by stealing, killing, and doing whatever it took to stay alive. The world despised him, and he despised it back. But when the Day of Lords arrived, fate played its cruelest trick yet. Goblin Lord. The weakest possible domain. The most pathetic summons. A rank that was practically a death sentence. But Reed doesn’t care. He never played by the rules before, and he won’t start now. Given absolute authority over his first Hero—a deadly and completely loyal goblin woman named Shia—he embraces his title with ruthless efficiency. There are no rules he won’t break, no enemies he won’t kill, and no limits to how far he’ll rise. If the world thinks it can laugh at him, it’s in for a nightmare. Because the Lord of the Forsaken doesn’t bow to fate. He breaks it.

Liam was born as the illegitimate son of a great duke, but all he got was scorn. With little talent, he stayed stuck at the lowest rank — an F-rank Ascendant — treated like trash by everyone. When he turned twenty, his father kicked him out to a crumbling barony on the edge of the kingdom. Even there, the local lord who ruled the barony rebelled against Liam and betrayed him! In the end, he decided to run away, leaving everything behind that tied him to his past. But things didn’t go the way he wanted. Wounded, broken, and on the run... he ended up in an abandoned palace, barely alive. Just when he thought it was over, a strange screen appeared before him: [The Dimensional Palace System has been activated.] Stunned by what he sees, Liam decides to seize the chance given to him to change his miserable fate. He begins traveling through strange and wondrous worlds, striving to increase his power and improve himself. Dungeons, ruins, multiple worlds, and ruthless levels. Will Liam be able to turn the tables and climb from the bottom of the F-rank to the top of the world? Note: The story mainly focuses on kingdom building, leveling up, world hopping, and beasts taming. Another note: The first three chapters are just a prologue, and the main events will start at the end of chapter four.

For I shall answer with fire and gold!

When Ralph, the offspring of one of the greatest cultivators, fails to awaken an affinity during the Awakening Ceremony, he is banished from his clan by the sect elders and sent to the Outlands, a place where beasts wander and people hardly dare to go.

Left to die in the Outlands, he awakens a system with an affinity no one knew was still in existence, centuries after the last awakener. Now bestowed with this power, he has one thing on his mind: he will evolve far greater than any of them thought he would and come back to take what was rightfully his from the start.

Alpha Kieran Never Took the Same Woman Twice... Until Her! Exiled. Betrayed. Broken. Autumn knew love was a luxury,a blunt lie...until the most ruthless Alpha in the realm claimed her as his mate… only to publicly reject and humiliate her before his entire pack. But when the moon rises, his hands tell a different story. Night after night, he drags her into his bed, his teeth grazing her throat as he growls: "You are my property, little thief.Never forget that!" Secrets lurk beneath his cruelty. Lies poison their bond. And when Autumn discovers her long dead sister is alive...and wearing Kieran’s mark.. she will have to choose - Trust fate, trust the Moon Goddess who never favoured her. Or trust her guts! [ Disclaimer : There might be scenes that resemble or are near r*pe scenes. But definitely not in the exemplary way. They are there for a reason in the story. It reflects some reality of the brutal world they live in. It unfolds as we move ahead. If it bothers you, please stay away. And please keep in mind, this is a story about a kickass female lead, despite all her suffering, she still kicks balls. So if you want someone whimpering, shy submissive...stay away from the book. One more thing to keep in mind is the fact that Alpha Kieran isn't our typical 'hero' material. He has a disturbing past, is morally gray sometimes, takes rash decisions... And is severely flawed... But definitely this creates a massive scope for growth and character arch ( you are free to hate him but give him a chance to tell his story as he lives through the highs and the lows) . PS : This book will gradually introduce you to other supernatural creatures and lores that might not be typically connected to werewolf books. Though the story primarily follows a single love story, it is plot driven. Which means you will be introduced to several supporting characters on the way. So keep an open mind and try to immerse yourself in the experience. ( keep a look out for bonus side stories too ) Now, if you are ready...grab your seat belts and lets go on a ride. #HappyReading everyone

In a world where megacorporations rule like feudal dynasties and cultivation is under corporate rule, Vincent Cornelius wakes up in a silk-sheeted bed beside a suspiciously curvy woman. Reincarnated into the body of a doomed CEO fated to be a "villain's father". Vincent quickly realizes he's a disposable background character— the kind destined to be humiliated, ruined, and killed so that his pathetic son, can become a stepping stone for some arrogant, heaven-defying, cliché cultivation protagonist. Unfortunately for fate, Vincent didn’t reincarnate to play along. He reincarnated to ruin protagonists for profit. Armed with the Corporate Villain Expansion System, every cruel scheme, humiliating press leak, or market manipulation against protagonist nets him Villain Points—and every time he crushes a “fated encounter,” his Luck Points rise. Turn the protagonist into a drugie? +400 VP + 50 LP Reduce the mercenary king to a job of a small security guard? +500 VP +100 LP Cause chaos in a protagonist's harem—emotional betrayal, internal sabotage, or seduction ? +1,000 VP +200 LP As his mid sized logistics corporation moves towards becoming a corporate megaforce, Vincent must climb the cultivation ladder, weaponize capitalism, and outwit Fate itself—one bankrupt protagonist at a time. The world wants him humbled. The story wants him deleted. But Vincent Cornelius is here to rewrite the script. He’s about to prove that in this world, the real golden finger is a hostile takeover. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer (Filed Personally by Vincent Cornelius): If, by some cosmic accident, any names, corporations, or highly sensitive trade empires mentioned in this story resemble real-world entities—rest assured, it’s entirely coincidental. I am far too busy conquering fictional markets to bother with actual ones. No offense is intended. No lawsuits, either. Unless you’re a protagonist. In which case… file away. I'll be waiting—with a better lawyer and a hostile takeover plan. This is fiction. Relax. Or invest.

Novalis is a man with big dreams. A large fan of magic, astronomy, and the night sky, his biggest dream comes true when Princess Lunara invites him to the castle to personally show him her night sky.

The Celestials brought magic to Humanity, and control forces of nature at their whims. Now a human has risen to never before seen heights.

They left me to die. But this world had other plans. When our deep-space expedition crashed on a hostile alien planet, I thought the survivors would stick together. I was wrong. The moment the beasts came, my crew threw me to them—used me as bait to save themselves. I should’ve died out there. But death never came. Rescued by the native tribes who walk through ash and fire, I awoke in a world of primal gods, ancestral trials, and secrets buried in the soil. They didn’t know what I was—or what I could become. Neither did I. With broken tech, buried knowledge, and fire in my blood, I rose. And as I carved out a new place among these people, I asked myself: If I can lead them... should I? If those who betrayed me return... will I show mercy—or burn them to ash? In this world, survival is earned. And I was abandoned—so I will rise.
