In the late 18**, Lobo Dhib, an orphan from a forgotten and ancient land, embarks on a perilous quest for revenge. His life has been defined by suffering, each hardship traced back to a single, elusive figure who shattered his world. Consumed by vengeance, Lobo sets out to find this person, willing to risk everything to confront them. His search leads him to Arcadia, a sprawling city ruled by five powerful mafia syndicates, each more dangerous than the last. These criminal empires control not only the city’s underworld but also its most prized asset: mastery over one of the nine elemental powers. In this world, every human is born with the ability to control one element—fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, ice, metal, shadow, or light—but no one can wield more than one. Arcadia's Big Five use their elemental abilities to maintain control over the city, turning it into a dangerous battleground for anyone daring to oppose them. For Lobo, Arcadia is the final step in his journey for revenge. He knows that the person responsible for his suffering is hiding within one of the Big Five syndicates, pulling strings from the shadows. Each mafia group dominates a part of the city with their unique element, from the fiery aggression of the Scarlet Blades to the icy control of the Vero Cielo. Navigating these criminal empires is not just a test of survival, but a deadly game of strategy, where every step could either bring Lobo closer to his goal—or cost him his life. Lobo's mastery over his own element is the key to his survival, but in a city full of elemental powerhouses, it might not be enough. As he infiltrates the underworld, he must form alliances with those who may betray him and fight enemies far stronger than himself. Arcadia is a city of chaos, where the wrong move could end his life, but Lobo knows that the only way to find his target is to dive headfirst into this deadly game. His revenge may come at the cost of his life, but for Lobo Dhib, that’s a price worth paying.

Kyle broke free. Sadly, punching the leader of a gang of thugs had consequences, and the leader's cronies would beat Kyle to death. But so what?! He didn't regret punching this guy even once! However, a powerful Magic Lady saved Kyle and then did something strange. She offered him a job. Apparently, he would have to go to a different world, a brutal realm where strength was the only law, and become its Overseer. A world where one person could fight thousands of people. A world where gigantic beasts broke mountains. And Kyle? He was just some random guy. He couldn't break mountains. Hell, he could barely fight a single guy, but what was he supposed to do? Reject the offer and get killed? Whether he liked it or not, he had to grow stronger, and while the beginning was tough, he actually found something he really enjoyed. His gigantic hammer. It was exhilarating when beasts exploded into chunks of flesh whenever he struck them. He loved turning boulders into rubble. With his hammer in hand, Kyle would forge a path of destruction through beast hordes and any ancient gods who dare stand in his way. And as his power grew, he became more and more involved in a war between two fundamentally different forces of nature.

The Sovereign’s Name: KRYZENITH VOID-HEART

Synopsis: The Bastion of the Twelve (The Final Descent) ​The Bastion of the Twelve is a metaphysical epic tracing the journey of Haoran and Yuxiao as they lead a sanctuary of outcasts through the Forbidden Deep. The Archive, a divine machine of absolute order, treats their existence as a "narrative error" that must be corrected through total erasure. ​The heart of the story lies in the sanctuary’s Metallurgical Metamorphosis, where the city’s physical shell transforms through periodic elements to counter divine protocols. From the Tellurium Logic-Engines to the Thorium Nuclear Hearts, each transformation is a desperate attempt to stay written on the page of existence. ​The Tragedy of the Twin-Logic ​The core conflict is not just between the sanctuary and the Archive, but within the "Lattice of Will" that binds Haoran and Yuxiao. To protect the refugees, they must merge their souls into the city’s core, becoming the very syntax that holds the world together. However, the Archive’s final protocol—the Absolute Paradox—is designed to turn the two pillars of the sanctuary against one another. ​The Climax: The 5,000th Gate ​As the sanctuary reaches the final threshold of the 5,000th chapter, the Archive forces a "Resolution." The divine logic dictates that for the refugees to transition into a new, safe universe, the "Authors" of the rebellion—Haoran and Yuxiao—must be purged to balance the cosmic scales. ​The story concludes in a devastating Zero-Sum Strike: ​The Final Betrayal: Under the weight of the Archive’s corruption, the two protagonists are forced into a terminal duel. Their powers, which once resonated in perfect harmony, become polar opposites—one of absolute density and the other of absolute void. ​The Mutual Sacrifice: Realizing that the only way to break the Archive’s cycle is to leave the narrative entirely, they choose to kill each other simultaneously. By dying at each other’s hands, they create a "Logical Void" that the Creator God cannot fill. ​The Legacy: Their blood fuels the final transformation of the sanctuary into a Trans-Finite Realm, a world without a master. The refugees survive, but the book closes on the image of Haoran and Yuxiao’s armor drifting in the deep, locked in a final, lethal embrace. ​The book ends not with a victory, but with a Final Punctuation—the protagonists become the martyrs of their own story, ensuring that while they perish, their words remain unerasable.

Genshin Impact: After Getting Married, Something Changed in My Body

This fic is basically: Ryou(MC) marries Keqing, after that, he awakens a weird buff system, the "Darkened Mode": different body parts enter this “darkened mode" for a limited time and multiply their efficiency. Brain buff = he gets way smarter for a while, eyes buff = insane vision, etc. Also, the organs have "personalities". They can “talk,” so there are a lot of inner monologue between Ryou and his own body parts. The not-so-fun part (for Keqing) is that some buffs make Ryou go wild at night, and Keqing can’t keep up. She gets exhausted to the point she starts skipping work. That’s when she starts seriously thinking: maybe she should invite someone else into the relationship to share the "suffering"… and she sets her sights on Ganyu. The fanfic can be cringe at times, so I highly recommend turning your brain off and just enjoy the ride. Also, quick personal note: I’ve wanted to translate a fic where Keqing is actually important and gets a lot of screen time, so that’s a big reason I picked this one. Happy reading!!

Reborn as a Mechanist with a God-Tier System

‘Ah shit, is this… Earth?’ In the far future, humanity has collapsed beneath the weight of its own technology. Megacities rose, AIs became rulers, and biological evolution was rewritten through genetic design. The world changed. Instead of humans, there are Synths, Geneforms, and AI Constructs. And instead of meow meow and woof woof, there are Neon Beasts- beasts mutated by the corruption of ADE. Leon Ardent, an assistant temporal engineer for SpaceX woke up in this strange dystopian world with neon skylines and aurora-like storms. One question lingered. ‘Where… am I?’ DING! ~----~ [ChronoSystem Rebooting…] [You have received your first Mission: Survive the First Cycle] ~----~ Well, things do escalate fast. Just like that, Leon was thrown into a cyberpunk world with weird skies, weird ecosystem, a weirder system, and with fragmented memories of his past. Only one thing gave him hope, his expertise as an engineer. “If I can build, I can live”. … [Author’s NOTE: It’s October 31st in Shibuya, and history records it that this book starts today. All I can say is give it a try. I won’t make promises, just know that I’m giving this my all, and I’ll appreciate any form of support. Thanks.] *This book will be written in 3rd person POV. If you have any queries, you can comment at the bottom of each chapter. I’ll try my best to read comments every day, and reply to them if there are queries. *I’ll try my best to thoroughly proofread every chapter and avoid any mistakes, no matter how small, but if you see one don’t hesitate to point it out. *I’m not expecting them, but an author can hope. So, any super gift will supercharge me to write more, and I’ll give a 5 chapter mass release for any super gift in appreciation. Lastly, happy reading.

Dragon Ball: I, a Saiyan, Ultimately Became an Angel

Transmigrating into the Dragon Ball world, Ken became a Saiyan on Planet Vegeta. At the start, he traded a single “technologically enhanced” starch sausage for a simplified version of Ultra Instinct from Whis—only to unexpectedly cultivate the power of an Angel. From then on, Ken worked tirelessly toward becoming an Angel. Years later… At the 88th regular meeting of all the Gods of Destruction, Supreme Kais, and trainee Angels across the universe, everyone was seated around the same table. Beerus suddenly stood up. Beerus: “Ken, stand up for a second.” Ken: “???” Beerus: “Just stand up real quick, it’ll be fine.” Ken rose, puzzled. Beerus: “What I wanted to say is—everyone here is trash!” Ken: “Sit down, Beerus, I want to play too.” Beerus: “You’re an Angel—how can you have no sense of martial ethics?” ---------------------------- Tags will be updated as I progress through the translation.
