Ethan Cole died at his desk at 2 AM. His last thought was about a load-bearing calculation. His first thought in the new world was about the tensile strength of the chains on his wrists. Thrown into the Abyss as a human sacrifice, he woke up with the Myriad Bonds System — a power that grows stronger every time he forms an intimate Bond with a woman of a different race. His first Bond? A Dark Elf princess who'd been chained in the dark for three years. His first kill? A shadow beast he brought down by collapsing a tunnel on it. His first thought after both? *I need to build a city.* Armed with shadow abilities, a civil engineering degree, and 3,000 hours of Civilization VI experience, Ethan doesn't just survive — he BUILDS. A camp becomes a village. A village becomes a walled city with aqueducts, forges, and the only cross-racial marketplace on the continent. Every new Bond brings a new skill tree, a new race to his kingdom, and a new faction that wants him dead. The Human Empire calls him a traitor. The Elven Council calls him dangerous. The Dragon Court calls him irrelevant. They're all wrong. Ten races. Ten women. Ten skill trees. One kingdom that shouldn't exist. And enemies everywhere who want to make sure it doesn't. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FULL STORY ON ROYAL ROAD This Webnovel posting is a sample.

Betrayed. Abandoned. Left to die inside a dungeon no one survives. Rowan Hale was never meant to become a hero. A low-rank adventurer with no talent, no backing, and no future, his fate should have ended beneath the claws of a dungeon boss—just another forgotten casualty sacrificed by stronger teammates. But at the moment of death, something impossible awakens. [Infinite Conquest System Activated] Unlike ordinary systems that grant strength through levels alone, Rowan’s power evolves through conquest, growth… and bonds that defy the laws of the world itself. As his strength begins to rise at an unnatural speed, Rowan discovers a terrifying truth: The world’s kingdoms, churches, and ancient powers are built upon secrets carefully hidden from humanity—and his existence threatens all of them. Monsters grow restless. Dungeons change. Unknown forces begin watching from the shadows. And wherever Rowan walks, fate itself seems to bend. To survive, he must grow stronger. To grow stronger, he must claim power others fear to touch. But power always demands a price. In a world ruled by strength, betrayal, and ambition, Rowan will carve his own path—one conquest at a time. Because this time… he refuses to be the one left behind. ------------------ No yuri or ntr

*Destiny’s Keeper: The Art of Beast Bonding* is a tale of courage, loyalty, and the unbreakable bond between man and beast. It’s a journey into the heart of destiny, where every choice shapes the fate of a world on the brink of ruin. In a world where tamers forge sacred bonds with powerful beasts to protect their lands, 17-year-old Kieran has always longed to follow in his father’s legendary footsteps. But when his father mysteriously vanishes, leaving behind whispers of betrayal and danger, Kieran is thrust into a destiny far greater than he imagined. During his Rite of Bonding, Kieran forms an unprecedented bond with Nyx, a shadowfang beast of extraordinary power—and fearsome reputation.

With the balance of power shifting and enemies closing in, Kieran must decide: will he rise as the Keeper his world desperately needs—or fall, consumed by the very forces he seeks to master?
