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.

The origin of a narrow escape
The idiom "Nine Lives and Ten Deaths" comes from Qu Yuan's "Li Sao" in the Warring States Period: "It is also what I have in my heart; even if I die nine times, I will still not regret it." Tang Liu Liang notes: "Although nine deaths are not a life, it is not enough to regret." In addition, Yuan Wang Zhongwen's "Save Filial Son" first fold,"Yu Shiming Yan Volume 19. Yang Qian's Guest Boat Meets a Heroic Monk, the thirteenth chapter of the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the seventh chapter of the Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin of the Qing Dynasty. From the source of the story, Qu Yuan in the Warring States Period was worried about the country and the people all his life. He was concerned about the sufferings of the people. Even though he was framed and exiled by treacherous people, he was still worried about the fate of the country. In Li Sao, he expressed that he was persecuted for pursuing good virtue, but as long as it was what he yearned for, he would not regret it even if he died nine times. This expression later evolved into the idiom "Nine Lives and One Death", which was used to express that the possibility of death was far greater than the possibility of living, but he finally escaped from danger. It was a metaphor for surviving a great disaster after experiencing many hardships. The novel " Ten Years of Death " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

A novel that experienced a narrow escape
I recommend " Infinite Rebirth of Planes " by Qian Youliang. This was a super interesting novel about the infinite universe. The protagonist would commit suicide at the slightest disagreement. If there was no mission, dying once would not solve it. If it did not work, he would die twice. He had died many times in various worlds, such as Infinite Terror-Resident Evil, which he had died 155 times. He had the Death Replay ability, and after loading too many times, he was like a demon with too much wisdom. In fact, he was looking for hidden missions. This book was an infinite style. The protagonist's golden finger was infinite rebirth. If he died in the current world, he could return to the moment of his descent. The rhythm of the story was well grasped, the author's writing skills were not bad, and the protagonist in the early stages was not brainless. It was currently being serialized. Although it still had to be watched in the later stages, it was worth watching at the moment. Some people felt that it was like " Life in an Otherworld from Zero ", where the main character 486's ability was integrated into it. Overall, the setting was novel and it was an infinite masterpiece. The recommendation index was four stars. It was not bad to fatten up. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

What is the story of the narrow escape
The idiom "Nine Lives and One Death" comes from the Warring States Period. Chu Qu Yuan's "Li Sao":"It is also what I am good at. Although I die nine times, I still have no regrets." Liu Liang's note: " Although there is no life after nine deaths, it is not enough to regret." Qu Yuan was a native of the State of Chu at the end of the Warring States Period. He was once a "Left Disciple". King Huai of Chu accepted his idea of progress in the early days of his reign, carried out reforms and implemented the policy of uniting with Qi to resist Qin. However, his idea violated the interests of the rebellious nobles of the State of Chu. Later, King Huai of Chu was tricked into the State of Qin by King Zhao of Qin and died there. After King Qingxiang ascended the throne, Qu Yuan was banished to Jiangnan for a long time. During his exile, he had been worried and haggard about the imminent destruction of his country. Li Sao was probably written by Qu Yuan when he was alienated by King Huai and forced to go to Hanbei from Ying Du. There were poems expressing his insistence on correct ideas. Although he had experienced many blows and persecutions, he still loved his motherland and did not yield to evil forces. Later, he extracted the idiom "Nine Lives and One Death" from it. In addition, there was also a legendary story about Guo Hanchuan, an underground member of the Chinese Party on the eve of the Northeast Liberation. It also involved the word "nine deaths and one life", but from an etymological point of view, it originated from Qu Yuan's "Li Sao". The novel " Ten Years of Death " is equally exciting.

There's a novel about a narrow escape
I recommend " Infinite Rebirth of Planes ", an infinite novel written by Qian Youliang. The main character would commit suicide at the slightest disagreement, as if he had died 155 times in Resident Evil. He had the Death Replay ability and relied on Infinite Rebirth to adventure in the infinite world and find hidden missions. Although there were many flaws, the setting was novel, the rhythm was well controlled, and the writing style was not bad. Currently, it was already 1.85 million words. The author was a veteran of the Limitless Bloodline Sect, and he had previously written the work " Limitless Bloodline ". This book didn't have a high IQ, but the details of the game were interesting. The cheat was infinite rebirth, so it was worth reading. There was also The Strongest Familiar, an Eastern fantasy novel written by the patrolling scholar. The male protagonist Su Can's phone had entered the [Strongest Familiar] system. At the beginning, a chicken could evolve into a three-legged Golden Crow. After that, he could sign more familiars. There were many ghosts and demons in the world, but this book was still a little confusing. " Death Paradise " was a game novel written by Twelfth Uncle Rice. The apocalypse had turned the entire world into a battlefield. There were absolute rules in the dungeon, and anyone who disobeyed would die. Nine in the morning and five in the evening. There was a group of readers. It couldn't compare to Juantu, but it was considered high-quality grain. However, it was time to stop changing. One had to be careful when entering the pit. " Exterminating Evil Begins from Smelting Runes " was an Eastern fantasy novel written by Fisherman Watching the Sea. Everything in the world was talismans. Humans, demons, and evil were all related to talismans. After the male protagonist Fang Bei transmigrated, he became a black-robed evil-slaying guard. His talisman spirit could melt talisman patterns and create new talismans. Men Are All Children was a realistic family ethics novel written by He Changzai. The male lead was Fang Shanmu, the female lead was Sheng Chen, and there were a few supporting roles. This book talked about the growth of a man from a male's perspective. It involved marriage, life, and so on. It was the Almighty's new book that had returned to the starting point. The writing was good and the sense of immersion was strong. It was suitable for people with life experience to read. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Read the idiom story of a narrow escape online
The idiom story of "Nine Lives and One Death" is related to Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was a native of the State of Chu at the end of the Warring States Period. He was once a "Left Disciple". At the beginning of King Huai of Chu's reign, he accepted his idea of progress, carried out reforms, and united Qi to resist Qin, making the State of Chu strong for a time. However, Qu Yuan's idea violated the interests of the noble forces. After King Huai of Chu was tricked into Qin by King Zhao of Qin and died, King Qingxiang ascended the throne and Qu Yuan was exiled to Jiangnan for a long time. While he was in exile, he heard that Ying Du had been conquered by Qin General Baiqi, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation. One day, the haggard Qu Yuan came to the bank of Miluo River. A fisherman asked him why he came here. Qu Yuan said that he was exiled because he was alone in the world and everyone was drunk. The fisherman advised him to follow the customs, but Qu Yuan refused sternly, saying that he would rather be buried in the belly of the fish than allow the world to blaspheme himself. In his work,"Li Sao," Qu Yuan expressed the spirit of persisting in the correct idea, even if he died nine times, he would not regret it. Finally, he died in the Miluo River in 277 B.C. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
