What to expect (Updated June 2026) : -Male protagonist who is trying to find who he is in the beginning and increasingly becomes level-headed and ruthless to enemies. Divine Emperor of Death is his calamity title the world gave him and not his personality, so don’t expect MC to be utterly black-hearted here. -Growth style from young to old, a epic adventure that takes itself seriously as the chapter and volumes advances -Harem. Slow-burn romance for the first two hundred chapters and it increases in pace once MC takes on second wife. Harem is treated extremely important here with their own personalities and flaws. No trophy wives. MC doesn’t abandon harem members to go off on a solo adventure. -Character-driven story with long-term growth. MC makes a few mistakes in the beginning and works to rectify. -Logical cultivation system with nearly no mistakes in terms of power leveling battles. -Unique blend of many types of architecture and eastern fantasy, but mostly latter since this is a cultivation novel. -Quick battles, no-nonsense approach to most enemies, and epic battles, tribulations and actions with lasting consequences. -Magical beast, calamities, strange lifeforms and locations. -The main character is not overpowered at the beginning, he'll have to climb his way up. And his treasure is simply dangerous to use, which makes it extremely challenging for him to survive. -Growth arc, adventure arcs, revenge arcs, romance arcs, epic tribulation arcs, family arcs and many more. -Regular updates (2 chapters/day) + bonus chapters and mass releases when possible ======= Some words from author: English isn't my main language, so please bear with it if you found some mistakes. The first few hundred chapters do have grammar mistakes since I was a beginner at that time. Please bear with me until the grammar and the content gets fleshed out. This is an epic (long form story) instead of a quick wish-fulfillment novel as we follow the story of Davis from the start, so it's bound to be slow but steady. There are epic moments at certain points which my readers have praised repeatedly. Also, the [best harem novel] in the entire Webnovel according to my readers in Discord. ======= Want to see more official art of the story and discuss the story with others? Join the Discord!

Death Guns In Another World

Death Guns In Another World

Alexander Kael Touch, a self-made young billionaire, found his meteoric rise tragically cut short on a school trip. But fate had other plans, whisking him and his classmates away to a realm of swords and magic – a world where power manifested as unique: ''Gifts." While friends awoke to magnificent Gifts, Alex's Gift yielded only two enigmatic guns: one gleaming silver, the other shrouded in black. Worse, he couldn't use magic like his peers, drawing scorn and derision. Yet, fueled by an unyielding spirit and a burning dream, Alex refused to falter. In this new world, he craved not wealth, but the strength to forge his own destiny. One goal burned bright: to rise once more, not to the peaks of financial power, but to the pinnacle of strength and control. This is the chronicle of Alexander Kael Touch, the boy with two guns in a world of wonders. A tale of relentless struggle, forged in the crucible of mockery and doubt. A journey to the apex, where the scorned student will become the ultimate warrior. Whispers of the "Death Guns Master" stir, echoes of a legend rising from slumber. The world may have forgotten them, but they are coming back. †††††††††††† Nickaido's here with D-Guns, do not expect the smartest MC because he was once a billionaire, is still young, he has his flaws, he will learn and grow, so will the other characters. At the beginning other characters are stronger but worry not everything will change starting from around chapter 80 onward. Also sorry in advance because some of the female characters have strong backgrounds but it's for the sake of the future story, this book is just the start, I'm still improving. Sorry in advance, English is not my first language, so they may be grammatical errors and misspelled words. Please bear with me. I'm trying to improve to provide a better story. Starting from chapter 200th, I have started using Grammarly premium to help me with the English, so I think it's become better. As for the earliest chapters, I have started to re-edit them slowly; I will do more as I get more time. Maybe hire a professional editor when I can. Once again, this is not some sophisticated story; it has many flaws, which I'm trying to learn from; however, this doesn't make the story less enjoyable. Would you please give it a try?

The Wielder of Death Magic

The Wielder of Death Magic

Thrust into an enigmatic world born from bloodshed; venture inside its complexities, dark-side, and always changing nature. At the center, a boy; brought up by an exiled mage, steps into a life of independence. A test to try and change his life for the better after witnessing what war can do to a person. The walk towards finding a stable living gets toppled as a unique magical element awakens. Using people, toying with emotions, doing anything and everything to get what he wants, this is the life of the next Death Reaper. Mostly emotionless, life continues as questions about his state of mind and being remains clouded behind many personas. This isn’t the story of a single man, it’s the story of a whole world. Read as the world builds itself from the ground up. Conspiracies, evil, the dark side of humanity. In addition, tis the start of a new age; the birth of monsters – a story depicting the tales of the first heroes and demons to ever exist. The Wielder of Death Magic isn’t a typical fantasy. The heroes don’t summon forth power from heroes of old, here, the characters are the ones who make up the myths and legends for the next generation. Amidst the turmoil, Staxius, he lives on, watching and waiting as the world grows. P.S, I’m not that normal of a writer, my advice is to not expect anything going into this world. Forget everything, I personally, don’t care about rules and limitations and what can be considered to be the norm – the characters are given life, the world moves on its own; I’m just a spectator. No plot, nothing planned, all that you read is the product of the characters moving and acting individually. As opposed to me subjecting them with my emotions, the connection is reversed. They are the ones who dictate the story (Believe it or not, that's the way I write) A world, a story, characters, and the foolish author; we all evolve as one. On behalf of the people mentioned above, thanks for reading, I appreciate it all. [Cover is copyrighted by Sxperimental]

Strongest Scammer: Scamming The World, One Death At A Time

Strongest Scammer: Scamming The World, One Death At A Time

“You Scammer! Return me my 10,000-year-old Mystic Jade Staff!” “You lost it fair and square in the gamble, Grand Elder. I can’t help it if your so-called Profound Scrying Eyes couldn’t see through my cups.” “What cups!? Those were the Divine Temple Bells of the Mahayana Temple!” “And?” “Even the Immortal Monarch himself can’t see through them, you thief!” *** “What do you mean you won’t reimburse me for the Flying Sword Insurance I took?” “The terms and conditions clearly state that there will be no reimbursement within the first year of taking out the policy.” “You never said that!” “And you never read the fine print in the contract, Patriarch.” “The fine print that was written with illusory ink!? You bastard!” *** “How did my small loan of 1,000 Immortal Stones turn into a debt of 100,000 Immortal Stones? You loan shark!” “That’s just the power of compounding, my friend.” “You call that compounding? I took the loan last week, you scammer! And I’m not your friend, I’m the goddamn Emperor!” *** “How are you not dead? I saw your corpse with my own eyes!” “My death was greatly exaggerated, Senior Sister.” “You didn’t even have a head!” “Like I said, exaggerated.” *** In the vast world of cultivation, where honor and integrity reign supreme, one man dares to defy the heavens—not with sword or spell, but with deception and trickery. Once a lowly street urchin, Han Yu quickly realized that cultivation required three things: talent, resources, and powerful backers. He had none of those. What he did have, however, was a sharp tongue, quick hands, and a complete lack of shame. From gambling dens to immortal auctions, from conning sect elders to running an interdimensional insurance scam, Han Yu’s reputation spreads across the cultivation world like an unstoppable plague. No treasure is too sacred, no contract too ironclad, and no oath too unbreakable for him to twist to his advantage. Even the mighty Immortal Clans dare not underestimate him—after all, the last sect that tried ended up legally belonging to him. With a growing list of enemies, a debt larger than some celestial empires, and a skillset that consists entirely of loopholes, misdirection, and sheer audacity, Han Yu’s journey to the peak of immortality is anything but conventional. Will he be hunted down by every major power in the realm? Will he accidentally scam his way into becoming an Immortal Emperor? Or will he outwit even fate itself and make the heavens owe him a favor? One thing is certain—when Han Yu is involved, nothing is ever fair, but the house always wins. ------- P.S: This book is set in the universe of Walker of the Words and is in the same time period.

Are promises and lies the same?
A promise and a lie were two different concepts, but when reading novels, the boundaries between the two would sometimes become blurred and complicated. In many novels, a promise represented a character's expectation, determination, or guarantee to others. For example, in a romance novel, the male protagonist might promise the female protagonist that he would marry her. This promise was based on the feelings and sincere expression of the situation at that time, just like Liang Feng promising Fenghua that he would marry her, so that Fenghua waited with beautiful expectations. This kind of promise was often an important factor in driving the development of the story. It carried the trust, love, or friendship between the characters. However, a lie was a deliberate act of deception. However, in some novels, the promise of the character might not be fulfilled for various reasons. At this time, the promise might seem like a lie to the other party. For example, in some novels that described the breakdown of friendship or the disappearance of love, the promise that was made at the beginning could not be fulfilled with the passage of time or the change of environment, which would make the person who made the promise feel cheated. When reading a novel, the reader had to carefully distinguish between promises and lies. On the one hand, it depended on the intention and attitude of the character when making the promise, whether it was sincere or fake, and on the other hand, it also depended on whether the reason for the failure of the promise was due to force or deliberate. This way, he could better understand the relationship between the characters and the development of the plot in the novel. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

True feelings are not promises
A true relationship had many aspects, not just a promise. From some aspects, it could withstand the dullness and waves of life. It could have passionate moments and still cherish the other party after the years of tempering and calming down. It could not be despised and bear the responsibility of the relationship. When faced with trivial matters such as daily necessities and raising children, they could still regard each other as precious existences, work hard for the family together, and enjoy a quiet and steady time together. In the face of changes in wealth, true feelings could withstand both wealth and poverty. They worked together when the conditions were not good, and they did not abandon each other after they soared. In difficult times, such as when one party encountered an illness or accident, they would not only consider the value of the other party, but also become a solid backing for the other party. In terms of feelings of getting along, true feelings include intimacy, regardless of age, wealth, status, culture and other differences; there is a sense of comfort, there is no psychological pressure when getting along, and they can tolerate and accept each other; there is a sense of love, care and consideration for each other; there is a sense of thinness, sincere dedication in life. A couple who truly loved each other would not start a new life quickly after separation. They would feel uncomfortable and find it difficult to integrate into a new relationship because they had given their hearts. In addition, trust, growing together, cherishing, and gratitude were also important in a husband and wife relationship. Husband and wife trusted each other and respected each other's lifestyle. Even if they were separated for a long time or slept in separate beds, as long as they could communicate effectively and understand each other's needs, it was still a normal state of love. Therefore, a true relationship was the result of a combination of many factors, not just a promise.

Musk promises to settle on Mars
Musk proposed a number of plans to settle on Mars. He planned to send one million people to Mars in the next 20 years and build a self-sufficient city. He planned to produce 1000 interstellar spaceships every year to promote humanity as a trans-planetary civilization. The timeline of the plan included launching the first batch of Starship unmanned spacecraft to Mars within two years to test the feasibility of a safe landing; if the unmanned spacecraft landed successfully, the first batch of manned spacecraft would set off for Mars four years later, and the launch rate of interstellar spacecraft would increase exponentially; the ultimate goal was to build a self-sufficient city on Mars within 20 years. In addition, he also had a plan to send one million people to Mars before 2050, and he also mentioned a plan to send 80,000 Earthlings to Mars for colonization. At the same time, for the smooth progress of the Mars settlement plan, he also proposed the "Mars Chain" concept, which aimed to establish a high-speed Wi-Fi connection between Mars and Earth to meet the Internet needs of long-term settlements on Mars. The novel "Mars of Paradise" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to read it!
