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.

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.

Will the death penalty be included in the death penalty in the end?
Your question is a little confusing. " Safe entry and exit " didn't seem to be a concept related to death row prisoners. It was strange to mix the two together. If you want to ask about the final death sentence of a prisoner, you have to have more specific information about the prisoner's case. Watching " Safe Entry " wasn't enough.

How do lethal injection horror stories impact the debate on capital punishment?
These horror stories have a huge impact on the capital punishment debate. For one, they fuel the argument that the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment, which is against the Constitution in some countries. The public outcry following such stories can lead to moratoriums on executions. Also, it makes lawmakers more cautious. They have to consider whether they want to be associated with a system that has such horror stories attached to it. It can shift the political landscape regarding capital punishment as more people become aware of the potential problems with lethal injection.

Life and Death Debate
Respected judges, dear opponents, We stand here today to discuss the eternal topic of life and death. First of all, we must be clear that life is a kind of beginning, the beginning of a life journey. From a natural point of view, life was an instinct, an inevitable result of genetic transmission. The birth of every new life was accompanied by infinite possibilities. It was like a seed that contained the potential to grow into a towering tree. Life gives us the opportunity to experience the world, feel emotions, and create value. In this process, we can pursue knowledge and explore the unknown; we can build interpersonal relationships and experience love and being loved; we can contribute to the development of society through our own efforts. However, the opponent may emphasize the pain and helplessness of life, such as the pressure in life, the trouble of illness, the injustice of society, etc. However, this did not deny the meaning of life. It is precisely because of these challenges that our lives are more resilient. We achieve self-growth and sublimation in the process of overcoming difficulties. Now, let's talk about death. Death was the end of life, an inevitable destination. It was like night, a part of the laws of nature. From a philosophical point of view, death was a release, a return of life to the embrace of the universe. It makes us realize the limit of life and thus cherish the time we have. Moreover, death also made room for the birth of new life, promoting the cycle and regeneration of life. His opponent might think that death was terrible, that it brought separation and grief. However, we should see that the existence of death also urges us to live more brilliantly in our limited lives. If life was infinite, we might drag it out indefinitely and never really pursue our dreams. Life and death depended on each other. Without life, there would be no death, and without death, life would lose its unique meaning. They were like two sides of a coin, which together formed the complete concept of life. We can't simply praise life and fear death, nor can we belittle the value of life because of the necessity of death. To sum up, life gives us opportunities and hope, and death makes us understand the limit and preciousness of life. We should respect the entire process of life, face life with a positive attitude, and face death with a calm attitude. Thank you, everyone!

Flying over the mountain, death penalty
When he mentioned the " death penalty " of flying over the mountain, he meant that the toy in Proof of Leader had serious injuries. The failure of the key parts was equivalent to the death penalty for this toy. The design of the toy used a large number of transparent and red plastic parts. When the transparent parts were used for joints, especially the spherical joints, the fracture of the spherical joints was inevitable due to the lack of malleability. Red plastic was easy to age and rot, and it was very easy to cause biscuits if it was seeped or sprayed on it. It was difficult to find a second-hand Flying Mountain toy that was not damaged on the market. Even if it was brand new and unopened, various joints might have been injured during the assembly stage. " Transformers: Origins " was not enough. Everyone, please click to read the novel!
