Unfortunately for you, death is already my woman..." ======= Almost 200,000 words (Around 170 Chapters) available for free! 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. And his treasure is simply dangerous to use, which makes it extremely challenging for him to survive. -Growth arc, adventure arcs, revenge arcs, romance arcs, epic tribulation arcs, family arcs and many more. -Regular updates (2 chapters/day) + bonus chapters and mass releases when possible ======= Some words from author: English isn't my main language, so please bear with it if you found some mistakes. 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

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?

My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

"Master, I'm sorry... It's all my fault that you could not break through before your last moments." "Don't worry, my disciple. I will not die," said Xu Fan as he smiled at his disciple, whose face was covered with tears. “If only… If only I could get you a few more Foundation Establishment Pills..." The genius of the sect knelt on the floor while crying like a baby. Xu Fan looked at his oldest disciple and sighed. He then took out a Foundation Establishment Pill and nonchalantly threw it into his mouth. The next second, divine lights of five different colors filled the world.

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]

Families can talk about how death and dying are portrayed in films. Was Jennifer's death portrayed realistically? Families who have experienced the dying and death of family member might compare that to the movie. Why do movie makers make death and dying either seem idyllic, as in this case, or gruesome, as in horror movies? Would you like to see movies that portray death realistically? Why or why not?

Literally had me in dying 60% of the time, dying the noblest of deaths, death by laughter. The character is extremely well written, with an air of the greatest idiot savant around him. But he is aware enough that it doesn’t come off as cringe. I absolutely love the story so far, the plot is unique and the author has created peak fiction. I’m normally not one for Chinese Daoist type stories but this one is truly a gem and would definitely recommend anyone to give it a read!! Keep up the fantastic work!!!

In the realm of ninja, the legend is born

Xinggong Ling sat on the seat of honor and looked around at all the evil forces 'clones. She crossed her fingers and placed them under her chin. The mirror reflected a cold light as she said solemnly," A while ago, the vault of the Xiao Organization was robbed. Xiao Nan's 600 billion detonation talisman was stolen. The murderer is among us. I hope that person will take the initiative to step forward." Phantom Dance Shi Wupeng shrugged his shoulders," You know me, my main body. I've been staying in Limitless City every day without leaving my house. I didn't even agree when that bastard, Fate, wanted to pull me out to bask in the sun." The Sacred Lord, who was still in his statue form, said helplessly,"Original body, you understand me. You haven't even returned the talisman to me. Do you think I have the ability to cause trouble like this?" Aizen Yuusuke pushed up his glasses and smiled gently." You know me, my main body. I haven't finished creating the Void Ring and the Corpse Soul World. I don't have time to care about other things." Gudazi spread his hands and said innocently," You know me, main body. If it was us, the Chaldeans, who made a move, it would not be just 600 billion. Even that person is mine." ……
