What if you could manage a colony with the power of whispers? Can you put their various abilities and traits to good use? Can you handle the conflict among your colonists so that there is no chaos? Can you make them survive from numerous threats, ranging from wild beasts, nature's waves of anger, other humans, strange creatures, and so on? So, are you ready to meet your colonists? Maybe they are natives who were exiled by their tribe. Or perhaps those who choose to wander alone and eventually tired. It could also be someone from space who landed on a rescue capsule. And there could be people running for safety. Besides those, there are many other backgrounds of life that you can find. Can you guess what kind of stories will unfold? It's all in your hands... Or rather in your whispers. Character illustration by Kruup.

[WSA ENTRY 2025] ... "There is no god, only the echo of our fears, bound together in a symphony of false hope, woven to make this endless cycle of pain bearable... But I refuse to be just another note in their song. I will not be silenced to protect the gate you so desperately uphold. I don’t care for the blind masses; they are but shadows, moving without purpose. If I cannot run, I will walk. If I cannot walk, I will crawl. If I cannot crawl, I will roll. And if all that remains of me is a severed head, then I will still glare at you with the scorn of the relentless." ... In a world where Hunters fight to keep humanity safe from monstrous invasions, Timothy Walter is nothing more than an E-rank weakling, expendable, powerless, and barely surviving. That changes when a forgotten dungeon forces him into a deadly trial, awakening ancient rulers from across races. Bound to the weakest among them, he inherits a power unlike any other: "King Player." Now, with a system that defies all logic, Timothy must carve his path, facing enemies both human and monstrous, as he ascends from the lowest depths to claim a throne none believed he could reach. AUTHORS NOTE: I put it under a restricted audience because of the following reasons; There is a huge amount of blood and gore meaning a lot of action and adventure. An equally adequate amount of romance with a pinch of R18 just to emphasize the points. Don't take the world-building to heart; Nigeria is better than that Kinda... If you survive the first volume, then keep it up after dropping your thoughts in reviews. I upload 1500+ words per chapter, and that means I may not participate in many chapter giveaways except when milestones are reached. Again, I appreciate your advice, thoughts, and criticism even more. The synopsis will keep changing as the story progresses. And yes, It's the familiar hunter's trope spun around in my head because I love the solo leveling light novel, so... have a fun read, I hope.

Destiny has not been kind to Axel Carter. After graduating from college five years ago, he's still unemployed and spends time playing games on his outdated computer. His favorite game is Project Axiom, a colony simulation set in a futuristic world destroyed by a doomsday event. Entities called the roots of evil emerged in various corners of the world and gave birth to monsters that caused great chaos. The main objective of the game is to form a colony to survive. You must manage them to find food and other needs, as well as make them able to survive the threats of fellow humans, rogue robots, and monsters from the roots of evil. Unfortunately, the developer abandoned the game while it was still in beta. One day, Axel had a heart attack due to fatigue from playing games non-stop for almost two days. He was then reincarnated as a companion drone in the world of Project Axiom. In that cruel world, Axel builds a colony of various beings, humans and robots alike. He also discovered many new features in that world that he didn't find in the Project Axiom he was familiar with. It's like he's playing a more complete version of the game. Can Axel bring his colony to thrive and survive? Is there something more in that world? Will he be able to find the answer to why he was transported to that world? What exactly are the roots of evil?

Title: Marked by the Colony Genre: Hiveborn ( original genre) People think ants are harmless. Tiny, mindless, crawling bugs. But we know better. Because some of us… are them. We’re born like any other human. We laugh, we bleed, we dream. But deep beneath our skin, there’s a signal — a pulse. When the time comes, that pulse awakens. And the Hive calls. They say we’re cursed. They call us “Hiveborn.” Not fully human. Not fully insect. Something else. Bound to a colony we never chose. Driven by instincts we can’t control. Each Hiveborn is marked at sixteen. A burn in the shape of an ant’s mandible appears on our neck. From that moment, you belong — not to yourself — but to the Colony. Some of us fight it. Most don’t. Because once the pheromones take over, love, fear, anger — even desire — isn’t yours anymore. It’s the Queen’s. And now I’ve been marked. But something’s wrong. Because I don’t hear the Hive. I hear… a voice. His voice.

Kai Aldrin didn't choose Thal-2. It was chosen for him — a posting to a dying mining colony thirty-eight light-years from anyone who mattered, handed down by an executive whose pride he'd wounded. No welcome. No briefing. A cot in a storage room and the unspoken expectation that he'd quietly disappear. He stepped off the transport three hours out of cryo and found a colony on the edge of collapse. What followed wasn't heroic. It was methodical. Kai fixed the air scrubbers, caught the saboteur, and inherited a director's chair nobody else wanted. Now he has 3,847 people depending on razor-thin oxygen margins, a fusion core held together with substitute alloy and hope, and a corporate conglomerate arriving in forty-five days to strip-mine everything he's trying to save. Thal-2 has four colonies, a dead planet next door, an asteroid belt nobody has mapped, and no shortage of people who would rather see Davos fail than watch an exiled engineer prove them wrong. Thal-2: An Engineer's Empire is a slow-burn hard sci-fi kingdom-building story about competence, construction, and what it means to build something worth defending — one problem at a time, one person at a time, one colony at a time.

Before Feng Yi ascended the throne, no one wanted to marry this prince who lacked presence and was out of favor. After his ascension, the harem was filled with the daughters of high-ranking court officials. They were an eyesore to look at and vexing to deal with. He felt that even favoring them would defile his own dragon body. He decided to choose a woman with a fiery, arrogant, domineering, and jealous nature to enter the palace, to cast all this "trash" into the Cold Palace on his behalf. Song Yunzhao had transmigrated to ancient times for fourteen years, all the while laying low and just trying to get by. She was just waiting for the plot to begin, then she would transform into a villainess—arrogant, domineering, fiery, and jealous—so that she would be rejected from the selection and could then choose a husband to live a carefree and happy life with. Later, Song Yunzhao watched as His Majesty smiled at her with immense indulgence and said, "Zhaozhao, come here." Song Yunzhao immediately felt that something was terribly wrong, a chill running up from the soles of her feet. The damned Emperor wore a gentle expression, but his eyes were as cold as ice; he clearly wanted to use her as his blade!
