Enlightened Empire

★ 4.5

SociableHermit

A prince sent into exile, without the means to fight back.

A young man trapped in an unfair world, without the status to bring about change.

Combined, they will have both means and status.

Armed with advanced knowledge from a strange world, will Prince Corco be able to cut through the injustice, regain his birthright and bring enlightenment to the country of his ancestors to create a paradise of true peace, equality and prosperity?

“Okay, first step: Let’s make some brandy.”

…that’s a maybe then.

Hermit’s Note: My take on the kingdom building genre, which often suffers from weak characters, low stakes and contrived challenges. Buildup will be slow, with Book 1 focused on business managment, Book 2 focused on a battle for succession and only Book 3 getting into the depths of kingdom building. There’s plenty of inventions before that point though, so if you’re here for the clever use of modern tech you’ll find quite a bit even early on.

"There is no Good and Evil. Only Power."

At the tender age of ten, Kagami Ken was thrust into a life of excruciating pain, burdened by a unique illness that haunted him relentlessly.

Years later, a severe episode renders him comatose for six whole months!

Good news, he wakes up. Bad news? An unshakable intuition foretells that his days were numbered.

Driven by an irrepressible longing to seize the moments he's always been denied, he sets about doing things that he'd always wanted to do, but never could. In a twist of fate, a surge of altruism compels him to make an astonishingly generous donation to an unsuspecting charity organization.

Little does he know that this act of kindness will capture the attention of a God-like being!

With aid from fate and his powerful acquaintance, he now finds himself reborn as Reivan Aizenwald — the half-human, half-warbeast baby of the Aizen Kingdom's royal family!

On his second lease at life, how will he choose to live? What goals will he aspire to achieve? What chaos will he bring to this new world!?

Join me on this captivating journey and discover the untold tale that awaits within these pages!

(Well, it's a web novel, so it's not printed on pages... but you get the idea!)

Disclaimers and Miscellaneous Information:

[This story is quite a slow burner, especially since 200+ pages are dedicated to his life before getting reincarnated. It's like that thing One Piece did. Y'know, 25 years of filler? Goddamn. Except here, it's just 200+ pages.]

[Chapter Length: 2000 (It can only be MORE, never less. Except for bonus/extra or interlude Chapters)]

[Chapter Release: Sunday, 11:46 pm(GMT+8). Depending on certain factors, I may post more.]

[I have sworn to the heavens that I will write this story to completion. Unless my story ends before I can finish this one, I will continue.]

[If you absolutely cannot stand stories too similar to anime/light novels, then please don't waste your time and find something else. The story's not actually styled as a light novel, but it shares some themes. Hell, the MC is Japanese. The signs are already there, so don't ignore them.]
====================================
Hello! I'm Lire, and this is my first fiction! (Started on May 9, 2022!)

Correction suggestions are appreciated. Same with general grammar corrections. English isn't my first language, so it would help me improve.

I'll try my best to make as few mistakes as possible though!

Constructive criticism is also very welcome.

Anything to make my first brainchild, the best it can possibly be!

Viscount’s Rise

★ 4.5

Darkwood

With his father dead and his brother inheriting the earldom, Braydon sets out to inherit the family’s neglected title, Viscount of Cliforge, the only land of the Kingdom on the other side of the Brimstone Mountains.

His new lands are on the border that is held peaceful by an uneasy truce and the same lands that claimed his father’s life on the battlefield.

With no reputation in noble society and no military might to speak of he will be a long way from challenging his brother whose land is some of the most prosperous in the empire, and has the backing of their younger brother, who has the smarts to raise their position even further.

Will he become another casualty to the lands that have already claimed his father, or become something more as he climbs his way to prominence?

At least he can be sure that his brother would never see him rise peacefully, and the neighbouring Grand Duke desires the last territory of the kingdom on the eastern side of the mountains. His position is anything but stable, he will do anything to change that and build his realm.

Taking Over the Villainess’ Body: 365 Days Left to Live?

★ 4.6

LynneSuzuran

Ann, a corporate slave in the modern life, suddenly couldn’t resist her body’s drowsiness and fell asleep after working non-stop for... who-knows-how-long. Her sleep wasn’t a good one as she was overly worried she wouldn’t be able to finish her work. When she finally woke up, she was greatly shocked.

An unknown room, an unknown man with his icy expression, and moreover, the man addressed her as “Arlea”, and not “Ann”.
And then she finally realized. She somehow ended up in the body of “Arlea”—a villainess in the fantasy/romance otome game she had played in the past, when she still had free time to relax. To make things worse, she remembered that in the next one year, she—Arlea—was fated to die.

‘In such a situation, what should I do?’
‘Let’s think seriously of a way to overturn the situation?’
‘But hold on, what if I can’t change the scenario? Why bother?’

Having lived her days in the modern life as a serious and restrained woman who became a corporate slave to her death, Ann finally decided... to spend her additional 365 days to live well, and to cross out some of her bucket list that she could still do!

'If I can avoid my death, it's good. If not, at least I've enjoyed my additional time here in this fantasy world where magic and monsters exist, where I don't need to slave away my life ridiculously for the corporate!'

Little did she know that her decision would cause everyone who knew Arlea to be very surprised and alarmed with her change.
What happened to the villainous, hateful woman called Arlea? Why did she become like this? What is she scheming now??
Let's see how long she can keep up her pretense!

Can she avoid her death flag, or will she be able to survive more than the designed 365 days?

Astronomical Evolution of Ida T-Rex [Monster litRPG] [Portals]

★ 5.0

Zeldritz

She's a cub. She's a T. rex. And one forbidden meal just rewired how she sees reality.

Her first roar opens a portal. Her rage sparks evolution.
And her Sight will probably, definitely, change the fate of worlds.

Everyone knows Idalia Solrift is adorable, ordinary, and entirely unstoppable when it comes to fun and trouble. She's a silly cub born in the molten wilds of Mount Vulkhanzhar—a land where dinosaurs reign supreme as warriors and every creature grows stronger through snacks, battles, and triumph. But even a cub's paradise can shatter. When her father vanishes through a portal, Idalia must face dangers far beyond her fledgling strength. Can she save her father and protect the clan she loves? Each hunt, each evolution, and each heartbreak pushes her closer to a destiny written in flame and fury.

Yet every act of defiance against the monsters of her world may decide whether she becomes a hero… or the very tyrant tactician the stars may fear.

Witness the rise of the little rex who will one day bite the stars!

Magus Reborn [Stubbed]

★ 4.2

Kai of the Sorcerer's Tower is one of the last mages left, barely surviving in a world ruled by creatures of the dark — where the era of mages ended, and most of the lands got contaminated with dead mana.

To save his world and fulfil his master's last wish, he put himself through a forbidden ritual, risking his soul being ripped into pieces to make his way into the past. In an era with abundant mana — an era yet to enter the Golden Era of Magic.

Things go wrong, of course, as they always do, and he finds himself thousands of years before the world fell to mana contamination — in the body of a young lord, Arzan. All is not well, though, as the young lord was murdered by someone and he had a beast wave to protect his territory from before moving to larger threats as well trying to get back his former strength in a world where magic techniques and technology is primitive.

He might be able to change that.
