fourth philippine republic

A civil engineer reincarnated into a magical land and tragically became a Wood, Earth, and Water Sorcerer. While still questioning where his [Earth Bear Bloodline] originated, the Chosen One next door summoned a 'player'... Watching others lead extraordinary lives, Hill just wanted to hide away.

As a wandering soul trapped in endless cycles of reincarnations, Claus must decide what to do in his current life. Tired of being a hero, demon king, savior, or emperor, he decides this time to live a life of debauchery. This is an R-18 novel, and will contain every kind of fantasy (But not netorare, maybe netori)... You have been warned.

Fang Ka, a man who became a necromancer in another world, made a shocking discovery: his consciousness was still linked to the internet networks of his previous life. By connecting online users’ minds to the undead he summoned, he turned what should have been a grim army into something far more dangerous—and unpredictable.

Amamiya Hiroto is unlucky. His life consisted of misfortune after misfortune, culminating in an unlucky death during an incident on a school boat trip, trying to save a girl he barely knew. After death, he met a god of reincarnation who requested that the hundred or so dead passengers—one of them being the girl he tried in vain to save—be reincarnated into another world. Yet a series of unfortunate events forced Hiroto to reincarnate with even less luck than before, starting with nothing but a tremendous amount of Mana. His second life, far worse than his first, came to a cruel end. However, upon meeting the god a second time, he was informed that there would be yet another reincarnation—one that had already been set in motion and could not be stopped. Not wanting Hiroto to live long, the god cursed him before he was reborn in the hopes that he would either die quickly or commit suicide. Hiroto was reborn once more as a half-Vampire, half-Dark Elf. A Dhampir. Not wanting a fourth life, he is determined to live this third life with the only things remaining from his previous lives—death-attribute magic and his enormous Mana pool.

In his first life as 'Caine Wilson', was the villain—ruthless, cunning, and very powerful. He played his part perfectly, crushing the so-called "protagonist" and parading his enemies, their families, and anyone who crossed him naked through the streets. He watched with glee as the "hero" lay broken, stripped of his dignity, before finally ending his pitiful existence. But just as Caine, thought he had finally won and secured his place at the top, 'Higher ups' intervened. A booming, ethereal voice—like the universe’s pissed-off judge—shook the skies: "You have violated the sacred code of villainy! The villain shall not win. The balance has been broken. Caine Wilson, the world hereby rejects you!" Before he could even enjoy his victory, his world blinked out, like a story whose writer just erased the last chapter in frustration. Everything went dark. And when he awoke, he wasn’t Caine Wilson anymore. He was 'Su Xiaobai', a nobody on 'White Cloud Star', a world of cultivation, martial arts, and endless struggle. But this time, things were different. He could feel it—he could see through the cracks of reality itself. He could break the fourth wall! He wasn’t just some reincarnated soul; he was a villain who had 'seen the system', who understood the game. And he was about to flip it upside down. --------------- A/N: Buckle up, you miserable bunch! It’s a parody, so shut your brains off, toss 'em in the trash, and dive headfirst into this deep, glorious shithole! Don’t come whining to me when you laugh so hard you choke on your own damn tears! --------------- Discord: https://discord.gg/dsc4fftBeF **Cover Page is not owned by Author**

Everyone will definitely have super abilities in time. Likewise with other creatures, including beasts. A person who can control elements, someone who can transform into other creatures; someone who has a guardian spirit; and those who have other super abilities. Being the best, greatest, and strongest is everyone's goal. Many of them seek strength by justifying everything. Many super-capable groups emerged that wanted to have power. Big families, organizations, companies, sects, and guilds sprang up to fight for power. Threats from beasts and other creatures appear. In addition, threats from other countries and kingdoms are commonplace. A teenage boy who lost his family due to a power struggle awakens a super ability that has mutated and is likely to mutate again. A super ability that allows him to use various kinds of super abilities by making special puppets. Revenge? Become the strongest? Create the largest organization? He wants to do all that; he is Jono Sagara!

The novel is written in close third person, following Lin Yiming's perspective. The prose is atmospheric, cinematic, and precise—reflecting Lin's training as a photographer. Sentences are visual: "The streets of the French Concession were drowning in twilight." "The gramophone needle caught in the groove, repeating the same three notes like a heartbeat that refused to stop." The tone shifts with the era: the glittering noir of 1935 Shanghai gives way to the stark horror of the occupation, the weary grit of the civil war, and the bittersweet melancholy of the 1979 epilogue.

[HIATUS] It was the turn of the 20th century, and in the Philippine Islands, the fledgling Philippine Republic waited to be crushed by the overwhelming superiority of the American colonial forces. But John McClain, a U.S. Army veteran of the Korean and Vietnam Wars, dies and finds himself in the body of the governor of a remote Philippine province in the year 1898. Initially reluctant to take up arms against his former country and skeptical of the chances of success, he eventually decides to fight for the Republic. Now living his second life as Martín Lardizábal, politico-military governor of Marinduque and armed with modern military knowledge, he will change the course of the Philippine-American War.

The Golden Age of Piracy only lasted about ten years. Blackbeard, Black Sam Bellamy, Anne Bonny, Nassau, the Republic of Pirates. The whole grand, reckless, glorious business blazed up like dry straw, then winked out before most folks had time to reckon what they'd seen. James Calloway knows exactly how the story ends. He has a marine's instincts, a head full of foreknowledge about every soul worth knowing in this world, and a voice of unknown origin that insists on calling the whole affair an experiment. The voice's about as helpful as a cat underfoot. It appears when it pleases, demands notice, and records every decision he makes with the cheerful disappointment of a scientist convinced his laboratory rats ought to have had more sense. He's going to build himself a crew, a cove, and a fleet, and, if the Caribbean is in an unusually charitable mood, he might even manage a country that resembles a free republic. Along the way he'll meet every famous rogue and scoundrel the age can offer, and watch history not from the cheap seats, but from the middle of the stage. James Calloway is the most carefree man in the Caribbean. Woodes Rogers is sailing over to cure him of that. ---------------------- 200 Power Stones = 1 Bonus chapter! 200 Golden Tickets = 3 Bonus Chapters! Magic Castle or more = 5 Bonus Chapters!
