Reborn as a Hated Noble Family, We Start an Industrial Revolution

A family vacation is the most anticipated moment for any household. But for the Sudrath family, that getaway turned into a complete catastrophe. It started out pleasant enough. But the end? The entire family was thrust into an unfamiliar world—a realm where modern knowledge is no longer enough, where nobles rule with iron fists and commoners are reduced to slaves. Here, aura and magic are the sole currencies for survival. Yet, this family is different. They are reincarnated into nobility—as an exiled ducal house. A Duke? Isn't that the highest rank? Yes, the title is prestigious. But the glory days of House Sudrath are long gone. Their lands are frozen, their people are impoverished, and mounting debts loom right before their eyes. However, this family refuses to back down. They begin to engineer technologies that this world has never seen before. They transform a desolate, banished fief into the epicenter of modern civilization—introducing horseless carriages, factories running without magic, and weapons that do not rely on mana. But history once recorded something dark. The technology they are resurrecting... is known as Demonic Knowledge. And the world will not sit idly by. ————————————————— If you enjoy this story, your support through Power Stones, Golden Tickets, and reviews helps the novel grow and reach more readers.

Taming The Mad Lycan: Her Enemy, Her Beast

Lin Xinyue was once a feared general until the Kingdom of Xu destroyed her homeland and turned her life into a nightmare. While fleeing through blood and ruin with her younger sister, the two were hunted down like prey by soldiers of The Kingdom of Xu known for reducing captured women into nothing more than sex slave for nobles. But before they could escape, her sister was taken right before her eyes. And the person who stopped Lin Xinyue from saving her… was him. The cold. Merciless. Ruthless. Yan Zhixu. The feared Marquis of Xuan and one of the Great Han Empire’s most powerful generals. To him, he had saved her life. To Lin Xinyue, he became the reason she lost everything. Filled with hatred and desperate to find her sister, Lin Xinyue forces her way into the Great Han Empire’s military camp, only to cross paths with Yan Zhixu once again. But before she can take revenge, she uncovers the terrifying truth hidden beneath the noble Marquis’s cold exterior. Every full moon, Yan Zhixu transforms into a monstrous Lycan beast that slaughters villages and drenches the land in blood. And now, Lin Xinyue holds the one secret capable of destroying him. So she gives him a choice: Help her rescue her sister from the Kingdom of Xu… or she exposes the empire’s most feared Marquis as the very monster everyone is hunting. Forced into a dangerous bargain neither of them truly wants, the two become bound together by hatred, secrets, guilt, and something far more dangerous growing beneath it all. Her presence calms the raging beast inside him… and wakes a darker hunger. His cold stares now burn with raw desire as the tension between them grows thicker, hotter, and impossible to ignore. Lin Xinyue is no longer sure if she wants to tame the beast… or surrender to it. Because the closer she gets, the more she realizes she is not just falling for the man. She is falling for the monster starving for her too. {Author's warning ⚠️: The female lead is sharp-tongued, violent when triggered, and refuses to bow to anyone. The male lead is a powerful and ruthless figure who rules through authority, control, and cold judgment. He is not gentle, and he does not forgive easily. This story contains violence, humiliation, power imbalance, and morally grey decisions. If you prefer soft, gentle, or slow-paced story, this may not be for you.}

THE ASHES OF YSORIA

The Ashes of Ysoria Book I — The Last Eagles of the Empire For four centuries, the Holy Ysorian Empire stood as the greatest civilization on the continent of Aurelis — an industrial superpower built upon military discipline, aristocratic rule, religious authority, and absolute imperial order. Then it fell. Betrayed by revolution, shattered by civil war, and consumed by political collapse, the Empire lost its capital in a single night of fire and blood. The imperial banners were torn down. Noble families were hunted. Officers executed. Churches burned. And from the ashes rose the Republic of Ysoria — a new government promising freedom, equality, and liberation from the old world. But revolutions do not end when the throne falls. They begin there. As the Republic struggles to control a collapsing nation torn apart by riots, economic disaster, military fragmentation, and ideological extremism, the surviving loyalists of the Empire retreat into the eastern frontier under the command of the legendary House Valerius — one of the last great noble bloodlines of the old order. Among them is Severin Aurelius Valerius. A child born into the ruins of empire. Raised among soldiers, exiled nobles, military academies, and the ghosts of a fallen civilization, Severin grows up believing the Republic did not save Ysoria… it stole it. While the new government attempts to erase imperial memory through fear and political repression, a dangerous new generation begins rising in the east — young officers, cadets, clergy, and aristocrats shaped entirely by loss, humiliation, and the dream of restoration. And somewhere beyond the chaos of civil war… the last surviving Imperial Heir still lives. As nations across the world watch Ysoria descend toward catastrophe, alliances fracture, armies mobilize, and the continent edges closer to a conflict that could consume civilization itself. Because the Empire is not dead. It is waiting. And from its ashes, something far more powerful may rise.

Grand Duke: My System makes me invincible

Okay, let's be honest here... what is a web developer supposed to do when transmigrated into ancient China? And an ancient China that's not even in recorded history, for that matter? Worse still, he's transmigrated as a lost general, being hunted behind enemy lines. Well, for Qin Feng, his answer was simple: "Let's just go down fighting... maybe take down one or two before being skewered." But fortunately for him, fate did not allow his story to end in just one chapter. [DING! CONGRATULATIONS ON SUCCESSFULLY BINDING THE DIVINE SYSTEM] [Initializing System Configuration...] ... [Issuing Newbie Gift Pack…] [Congratulations! You have received: 10× Restoration Pills, Innate Dragon Elephant Physique.] And so, the story begins. Not of an unfortunate transmigrator competing for the title of Fastest Transmigrator to Die. But of an overpowered transmigrator who blasts through enemy plots with overwhelming strength and raises his family to a level even beyond imperial authority. --- The beginning of the book might give the idea that this book is all about fighting and getting SP, but that is incorrect. This book is basically me trying to paint the picture of a young noble who makes great achievements in war; earns a reputation of being invincible; returns home to face scheming ministers, nobles, and royals; foils those schemes with both intelligence and overwhelming cheats (yes, he won't be pretending to be smart, he'd abuse the hell out of his system); and ultimately rises to a position that shouldn't actually exist: a Grand Duke. A powerful force that's way above the royal family and Imperial family, a power that's obviously above imperial authority, but refuses to replace it. Hope you all enjoy it. --- Discord: @Still_Searching Patreon: /Still_Searching You can support this book and read advance chapters on my patreon. Power Stones and comments/feedbacks are greatly appreciated. Thank you, and have a pleasant time.

The Accidental Sect Leader

Li Xuan, a seasoned gamer from Earth, finds his pixelated reality shattered when he's unceremoniously yanked into the brutal, beautiful world of cultivation. His new reality? He's the last, dilapidated remnant of the once-proud Falling Leaf Sect, a crumbling husk of a sect on the verge of disappearing forever. Just as despair threatens to swallow him whole, a peculiar, familiar System whirs to life within his mind. This isn't just any system; it's a Sect Growth System, designed specifically to drag the Falling Leaf Sect back from the brink of extinction. Armed with gaming instincts and a healthy dose of exasperation, Li Xuan must now complete system tasks to recruit disciples, rebuild his sect, and master powerful (but not overpowered) martial arts, pills, and weapons. Each successful task rewards him with unique boons that, when mastered by him and his growing disciples, will allow them to effortlessly dominate opponents within their rank and even challenge those a step higher. No grim reapers here – instead, Li Xuan finds innovative ways to deal with his defeated foes, from charming them into joining his ranks to orchestrating elaborate ransoms. With a blend of strategic gaming logic, unexpected humor, and the occasional burst of genuine martial prowess, Li Xuan will transform the Falling Leaf Sect from a forgotten ruin into a continental powerhouse, one humorous, action-packed chapter at a time. His ultimate goal? To be the strongest sect in the continent, leaving the talk of ascension to the overly ambitious.

Charm of Thrones

The seventy-six-year war left no room for heroism. Only those skilled at cheating death remained. For Zhang Linghe, survival in Skull Valley was not about defending the honor of the Sheng Dynasty's banner, but about how long he could hold his breath beneath the piles of corpses of his comrades. When dawn broke and the Sheng Dynasty was declared fallen, Linghe crawled out a homeless, masterless, and aimless survivor. He wanted nothing more than to escape the curse of war. However, fate had a cruel sense of humor. In the silence of the Meranti Forest, Linghe's escape halted before the wreckage of a shattered royal carriage. There, among the bodies of executed guards, he found Princess Han Yue—the winter moon, the last of the imperial line on the run, with the Imperial Seal clutched tightly to her chest. To save the princess was to invite death. To hand her over to the Ze Dynasty, whose throne was based on blood, was to hand over the keys to the entire Eastern Continent to an even more ruthless tyranny. In a world without magic, where swords are only as sharp as their wielders' strategies and thrones are the deadliest poison, Linghe is forced into a maelstrom of sordid political intrigue. The two of them, a tactically realistic warrior and a princess stripped of her throne, must step on a chessboard stained with blood. Because beneath the glitter of the throne, the true allure lies in defeating the enemy before the sword can be drawn. The escape is over. The true game of thrones has just begun.
