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.

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.

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

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

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]

100 seconds had different meanings of life and death in different situations: - On the military side, Liu Wenjun, deputy battalion commander of the Second Battalion of a brigade of the 73rd Army, jumped into the sea and saved the tank within 100 seconds, showing his bravery and fearlessness. - In the emergency scene, Chen Jingqi, a female student from the Qianjiang College of Hangzhou Normal University, saved a patient with sudden cardiac death within 100 seconds. This reminded people of the importance of learning and mastering first aid knowledge. - In social life, although there were no typical cases of life and death in 100 seconds, such as the 14-year-old girl Wu Xia in Nanchang who found a trapped old man and the police who took only two minutes (120 seconds) to save people on a passer-by motorcycle, it also reflected the significance of quick action in an emergency to save lives or solve crises. In short, 100 seconds was short, but it was enough to make a huge impact at a moment of life and death. "The Legend of White Feather: A Long Way to Immortality" was equally exciting.

The Three Seconds of Death game was an extremely dangerous game. It had a variety of dangerous gameplay, such as rushing across the road in three seconds while a vehicle was passing through, or staying on the tracks for three seconds before leaving when the train was about to leave, or doing thrilling actions on the edge of a tall building to experience excitement. In addition, there was another way to play the " Three Seconds of Death " game. The steps included squatting against the wall, taking deep breaths, holding their breath, and then letting others press on their chests, allowing the participants to quickly reach a state of suffocation and lack of oxygen to gain pleasure. This kind of game was also popular on campus. It could cause participants to faint, go into shock, convulse, lose consciousness, or even endanger their lives. It could also leave behind sequelae that affected their intellectual development. The game was introduced to China in the late 1990s and spread in primary and secondary schools and university campus in the mainland and coastal cities. Although it was attacked many times, it was not completely banned.

The three-second death game was also known as the " Dream Back to the Great Tang "," Heartbeat Game "," Breath-Holding Game ", and so on. The game originated from teenagers in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. It was introduced to a small number of primary and secondary schools and universities in China and coastal cities in the late 1990s. Recently, there were students in Yiyang, Hunan Province who played this game. Some students quickly fainted, screamed, and broke out in cold sweat after playing it. The next day, they even had headaches and dizziness. Some students even went into shock and were hospitalized. The general steps included squatting against the wall, taking deep breaths, holding their breath, and then letting others press on their chests. The basic core was to quickly reach a state of suffocation and lack of oxygen. After reaching this state, the experiencer would faint for a short time and might have a strange feeling. Depending on the individual's physique, they might even have hallucinations. This was why the game was called " Dream Back to the Great Tang ". This kind of game was very dangerous. It would compress the heart and suppress breathing, resulting in a decrease in the amount of blood returning to the heart. The blood and oxygen in the brain would decrease accordingly. In serious cases, one would lose consciousness and the function of the organs in the whole body would stop, which would directly endanger one's life. The Ministry of Education had resolutely stopped the spread of such games among students.
