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.

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.

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.

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.

Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Jiang Ning limped out of her quarters one day and entered the Jiang family's second courtyard, just as the Emperor was selecting a concubine for Prince Yu.  Noble ladies from high-ranking families put in their best efforts to participate in the selection, but the flower fell on Jiang Ning, who was merely there to watch the spectacle.  Jiang Ning was confused. She dared not let Prince Yu be a scapegoat, so she tried every possible way to tell everyone she was pregnant. However, no one believed her.  When she vomited after eating, they laughed at her for feigning illness. When she felt tired, they laughed at her for pretending to be delicate. When her belly grew larger, they laughed at her for overeating.  When Jiang Ning wanted a doctor's confirmation, all eighteen doctors she consulted had the same opinion: "You're just eating too much!" The fifth prince, Prince Yu, was a dashing and handsome young man. He exuded an air of sophistication and regal beauty. This was how the common people of Chang'an City typically described him.  But the real Prince Yu was cold and ruthless, using women without any emotional attachment.  He knew that the second madam of the Jiang family was the Emperor's secret love, and he also knew that the daughter recently brought back by the Jiang family looked exactly like the second madam in her youth.  So, even though the girl had a limp, he still tossed the embroidered flower in his hand into her lap. After their marriage, he knew she was just a pawn. But for the sake of the throne, he had to pretend to cherish her even though he detested her, until...

Defeat the definition of death
In different situations, defeating death had different meanings. From the perspective of Christian belief, Jesus 'victory over death referred to his death and resurrection, which provided salvation and the possibility of eternal life for mankind. He was nailed to the cross for mankind's sins and resurrected on the third day after his death, opening up the path to eternal life and the kingdom of God for mankind. This concept was based on the Christian doctrine system. In secular life, defeating death could be understood as a kind of spiritual transcendence, such as when a person faced a family accident. When suicidal thoughts arise due to great pain (such as encountering a third party, her husband's betrayal, etc.), she can wake up at the critical moment and realize that she should not punish herself for the mistakes of others. She can overcome the idea of giving up her life and face life positively. This process of defeating her negative thoughts can also be regarded as defeating death. Here, death is seen as a way to escape from the suffering of life, and living positively is the performance of defeating it. In addition, for the sake of a common oath, Bronx overcame his fear of death and returned to his sisters. He adhered to the contract and maintained his faith. This was also a manifestation of overcoming the fear of death.

Who can defeat death?
According to the information given,'defeating death' did not mean that one would not die after defeating it, but rather, it was a calm and collected attitude in the face of death. Those who could overcome their own psychology and fear of death could be said to have defeated death. For example, people who wanted to commit suicide after experiencing a family accident but finally realized it, people who survived with strong perseverance in the face of desperation, and those who overcame their fears by thinking about the nature of life and death and challenging themselves (such as watching ghost movies, bungee jumping, etc.) could be regarded as defeating death in a certain sense. There was no specific type of person who could defeat death. As long as one had the courage and the method to defeat the fear of death, one could reach the realm of defeating death on the spiritual level.

The meaning of the enemy's defeat and the death of the adviser
" When the enemy country is broken, the strategist dies " meant that when the enemy country was broken, the strategist would lose his value and might be killed. For example, when the cunning rabbits were hunted down, the hounds chasing the rabbits would be cooked; when the birds in the sky were captured, the good bows would be collected; similarly, after the enemy country was destroyed, the adviser would be in danger. This expression was often used to indicate that once the rulers of a feudal society achieved success, they would be ungrateful and kill the meritorious and capable people. There were many such examples in history. For example, after Wen Zhong helped Gou Jian, the King of Yue, restore his country, he was ordered to die by Gou Jian, and after Han Xin helped Liu Bang destroy Xiang Yu, he was eventually exterminated. The novel " Half Conspiracy for the Court and Half Conspiracy for the Monarch " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

League of Legends Death Defeat Special Effect
Some heroes had unique death effects. For example, Barbarian King was immune to death for five seconds after activating his ultimate skill, and his death effect was that he was stabbed in the chest by the sword in his hand, and he could only struggle with the sword in his hand. Rambo's death effect was that he was bounced off his seat and fell down, and the death effect was two long sounds of "Ah". Pao's Dragon Trainer skin's death effect was that Pao was lying on the ground, and the little dragon that was bounced off slowly walked over to Pao's head and curled up beside Pao when it realized that Pao did not react. Jinx's two long braids were connected to her heart when she died. Vampires would sometimes die standing up, and Tanuki's death had a unique sound effect. In addition, there was a rumor that a 1000-point coupon for an avatar had appeared in the mall, corresponding to three different killing effects, but it could only be used in unlimited vitality mode. There was also a new level of skin rumor (not online yet). In addition to the full skill effect, return, and death effect of the legendary skin, there were also special killing effects. For example, the Venerable Dragon God skin of Lee Sin destroyed the defensive tower, there would be an interaction screen after killing the Great Dragon, and there would be special killing effects when killing enemy heroes. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Can Zhang Fei's death reverse Liu Bei's defeat in the Battle of Yiling?
Zhang Fei was an important general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. He was known as "Yi De" and was one of Liu Bei's important supporters. The Battle of Yiling was a battle between Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Liu Bei led the army to attack Dongwu. As Liu Bei's deputy general, Zhang Fei fought well. According to the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei performed well in the Battle of Yiling and led the army to fight bravely and finally won. If Zhang Fei did not die, he might continue to lead the army to attack Dongwu and play a greater role in the war to reverse Liu Bei's defeat. However, it should be noted that the Battle of Yiling was an important battle during the Three Kingdoms period. The historical records were complicated, and there were different views on the outcome of the war. Therefore, whether Zhang Fei could still play an important role in the war still needed further historical research to determine.

All Ultraman defeat and death records, including TV, OVAs, movies, theatres, and all countries.
I can't provide any information about Ultraman's defeat and death records. Ultraman was a fictional superhero. His story and character settings only existed in Japanese anime and film and television works, and these works were usually mainly for entertainment and did not involve too much military and political content. Therefore, Ultraman's defeat and death record could not be made public. It was immoral and inappropriate.

The story of defeat
The story of losing the city of wheat took place in the 24th year of Jian 'an in the Han Dynasty, which was 219 AD. At that time, Guan Yu, the general of Shu Han, had retreated to Maicheng after losing Jingzhou. At this time, Lu Meng, the general of Wu, took the opportunity to cross the river and attack Guan Yu, causing Guan Yu to fall into a helpless situation and was finally killed in Linju. Guan Yu was a famous general at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He had fought alongside Liu Bei and was known as the enemy of ten thousand men. However, he suffered a defeat when he was defeated. This story was used to describe a person who was in a desperate situation and would fail even if he could succeed at other times. Maicheng was located in Lianghe Township, Dangyang City, Hubei Province, about 20 kilometers away from Pingyang Town. The protagonist of this story was Guan Yu. He was a famous general at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was once known as the enemy of ten thousand people along with Zhang Fei. The reason for Guan Yu's defeat was controversial. Some people thought that Guan Yu had lost Jingzhou due to carelessness, while others thought that there was something else going on.
