    The aliens kidnapped human beings to conduct experiments. And of all people, they chose to kidnap Alexander the Great at the peak of his glorious campaign, right before he invaded Arabia. He's pissed off. So I can't invade Arabia now? Fine! I'll invade YOU instead!!

    Light Years Away

    Urban ROMANCE SWEETLOVE FAMILY

    4.69

    Story of best friends, Kang Sola and Xue Guangxi, as they traverse their journey through adulthood, amidst conflicting choices and internal issues within themselves and from their past.Will they be able to resolve their personal struggles and find a common ground towards happiness? Will they have to compromise to achieve it?Will they end up together and overcome the threshold of their friendship into lovers or remain as platonic friends and each other's family?----She balled her fists, getting ready to punch the man in the face if the situation requires. They are, after all, alone in the room.Sometimes she forgets that Xue Guangxi was of the opposite gender – a man more than capable of beguiling innocent women when he sets his mind to the task.‘Perhaps he had been gone for too long that I had forgotten how his charms work. That fact never left my head, but experiencing it firsthand… Well, Nah!!!’ She tried to shake whatever silliness her mind entertains despite her prudence.But what her neutral poker face could hide, her berserkly widened eyes could not conceal.Nevertheless, even if he noticed, the young man did not point it out. He was more concerned and occupied by other matters.Matters of far greater importance……For example, her safety.She blinked several times, trying to disrupt the connection their locked gazes somehow managed to forge. She bowed her head, still blinking, and darted her lowered gaze to the floor. She straightened up her sitting position and swatted both of the man’s hands on her shoulders without force.But Xue Guangxi held her in place. “Look at me.”“What is it now, Guangxi?” She whispered. Her voice, thin and fragile and barely audible. Perhaps more from the earlier adrenaline pushed a blush on her face.Perhaps, it wasn’t the adrenaline to be blamed.She tried to swat his hands for the second time, but his grip only tightened, making his point more pronounced. Either he obeys or she does.Most of the time, Xue Guangxi always gave in to Kang Sola’s whims. Even when his temper wasn’t too great to be proud of, at the end of every argument, he lets the girl win.But in this instance, he wanted to be more assertive.“You always make me worry, Sola.” He breathed with all solemnity, like a prayer. The clasp of his hands on her shoulders tightened. She could feel it. She winced.Then, without further ceremony or introduction, he pressed her into a tight embrace, full of concern.Any person would be able to discern if a form of skinship was of sincere nature or not.Kang Sola could tell his was of genuine care and concern for her.“You are far more delicate than you think. God, Sola!” He cradled her head with his right hand placed just above her nape. Some of her balayage locks laced his manly fingers.----Other Info: Light story about friendship, family, love, and adulting. No offensive, dark themes (just the backstory, hehe), **Can be considered the second book after Milady's Fine Gentleman, but the story is stand-alone. Reference to the first novel is minimal if not only shown in the backstory. BUT THERE WILL BE SPOILER FOR MILADY'S FINE GENTLEMAN (It's inevitable, sorry)**"You are my sun, my moon, and all of my stars" -E.E. Cummings"Just like the moon, I go through phases." -Angie Weiland Crosby"Only in the darkness can you see the stars." -Martin Luther King Jr.-----The author has a discord server and Instagram!

    Hey, have you heard of a rumour floating around recently? I heard that there’s this girl walking around, weird, right? She walks and just goes around the place, no one knows who she is, no one knows where she came from. Hell, I don’t think even she knows the answers. But oddly enough, she never seems to age, does she? Of all the dragons, dwarves, elves everywhere, there’s a simple tale passed down from generation to generation. Of a girl that does not age. But... How did it all start? In this fantasy world, how did this person come to be? A world where humans isolate themselves within their walls, wary of the monsters that lie outside. A world of magic, a world of fantasy, but nothing seems carefree nor fun. Dating back to one of the greatest disasters known to humanity, the disaster where many deaths were witnessed, life was made. Living eternally, forever wandering about the world. Monsters do not attack her, no sickness plagues her, and time becomes irrelevant. Wandering from village to village, eventually, she comes across a group of excited people. 'Hey, take us out to the unknown, we want to see the world!' This is a tale of finding the meaning of life in a world where nothing seems to go anyone's way. *(Notice: The first part of the story is a backstory. If you don't really like the theme of the backstory, I understand if you just don't read it.)

  • Two Steps From Hell

    Two Steps From Hell

    4.86

    The book opens with Joel Essen, a scruffy detective, witnessing an assassination of a renowned physicist. Going against his captain’s orders, he investigates the case. But in doing so, he opens Pandora box and learns of a nefarious plan to unleash hell on Earth. This new profound burden pushes the detective into action to go against a group of very powerful individuals. As intriguing as the plot seems, it’s not the heart of the book’s mystery. It becomes rapidly clear that Joel Essen himself is very peculiar. He has his warts and inner demons from his past. A mystery that is slowly revealed throughout the book. The central theme of the book is that ‘no man is an island and no man stands alone’. Seeing that this book is a team up book, Essen will have to learn to trust and work with others. This is something he will especially struggle to come to terms with. In fact the other four main characters will have to learn to do the same. Every character has their own backstory that is perfectly intertwined into the main plot. Two Steps From Hell is a very suspensive story and with each chapter, the readers are forced to the edge of their seats. Everything and everyone will be against their favourite protagonist and time will be of the utmost importance to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

    "Gunslinger System in a World of Sword and Magic" is a gripping tale set in the fantastical world of Eryndor, where magic and cold weapons rule. The novel follows the journey of Caelum, a young man from a simple farming background, whose life is irrevocably altered when bandits murder his parents and kidnap his sister. In a twist of fate, Caelum's body becomes the vessel for the soul of Eclipse, a ruthless operative from Earth skilled in combat and firearms, who was drawn into this world following his own demise. Armed with the Gunslinger System, a unique ability that grants him exceptional firearms expertise in this sword-and-magic-dominated world, Caelum, now merged with Eclipse, embarks on a new adventure. The system not only provides him with advanced combat skills but also aids in crafting innovative firearms and managing a companion system for tamed beasts and more. Set against the backdrop of the diverse and politically complex nations of Eryndor, the story unfolds with intense action, strategic battles, and a deep exploration of a world where magic, traditional combat, and emerging firearms expertise collide.

    Formally known as:"Reincarnated as Kakashi in a MHA Universe"Status: Currently on holdReason: A lot of stuff are happening irl I'm currently trying to focus on that. So only when I'm free or not mentally exhausted I'll start continuing again bit by bit but till then please be patientMartin lived his usual life happily until he died of unknown circumstances and has the option to go to heaven or reincarnate into a random world with his memories intact.God as and apology let him choose how he wants to look alike and at the last minute he said that power in the next world also will be given to him randomly and wished him good luck.After he woke up he saw a white haired woman holding him in her arms and says "Hello there little Kakashi I hope you're feeling well." while a nurse came in and said "Here's your meal Mrs Hatake and then come to get checked."At that moment he realized that he was reincarnated as Kakashi Hatake.____________________________________________There are a couple of other Naruto characters there but not much unless the majority requests to add more.It starts as sort of like 'slice of life' genre but when the story progresses enough there will be action too.I'm pretty new to this and English isn't my first language so if you see a word written wrong or in wrong form please inform me please.I recommend to read the first arc before you guys review cause first 2 chapters are for his sort of backstory and then childhood until chapter 10. And no this will not start OP or become instantly OP after a few days of training. Also the cover isn't mine either it's created by WIZYAKUZA originallyAnyways guys enjoy ^•^

    If the world suddenly changes while you are in your sleep, how would you react to it? Leon is a young man who was deemed as ordinary, however, his connections and past experiences say otherwise. One morning, he was left with the front seat to the world that became merely the shadow of its former self. People have turned into flesh-eating monstrosities, otherwise known as undead, and their numbers continue to grow. As the world was taken over by such monsters, Leon only had one goal: that is, to survive. But he wouldn't succeed by just himself. He needs to gather companions and comrades, build relationships with them, and form unbreakable bonds that will put him and everyone on edge above the others. This is a story of the end and what came and will come after it. (↓Disclaimers Below↓)*Crossposted on RoyalRoad**Reading the author's thoughts in each chapter can diminish your seriousness. you have been warned.**Parents Strongly Cautioned**Excessive amounts of swearing.*Dark themes such as death of many kinds.*People get eaten, most of the time.*Borderline R-18 stuff.Disclaimer:*Although this is a harem, it will be a paced romance. Where every girl will have their own arcs, complete backstories, and character development.*Perhaps this can be considered as a "weak-to-strong" novel but the characters are already pretty strong at the early parts. What they will develop is their relationships with each other, their attitude to their current situation, etc. Battle strength is included in the developments.*There won't be R18 scenes in the meantime, but I might post them later as some sort of extra chapter. Still, every time Leon does "it", it will only be mentioned implicitly.*The setting will use a fictional country that exists on Earth. I am sorry but I am really bad at geography so even though this is harder, I prefer it. For more information, an auxiliary chapter about this will be posted later on. It might contain some spoilers though.*The story will generally be written in 1st person POV, however, some chapters will be written in 3rd POV. Mainly when they feature the POV of different characters when the MC isn't there at the scene.
