The Unwanted Prince of Prussia

Content Notice!!!! This is an alternate-history work featuring reincarnation and supernatural elements. It deals extensively with geopolitics, warfare, religion, ethnicity, imperial power, and morally complex decisions. The narrative portrays real-world inspired historical tensions and uncomfortable subjects without simplification. It is intended for mature readers interested in political strategy, historical speculation, and philosophical conflict. Not recommended for those seeking light entertainment. Although at the beginning there will be comedy, and even slight Romance. And there will be Family Building. --- Reborn as the Iron Prince In his first life, Zhang Ge was no hero. A former child performer turned engineer and logistics analyst, he understood war not as glory—but as systems, supply chains, and men dying because someone miscalculated fuel. Then he died. When he opens his eyes again, he is no longer in the 21st century. He awakens in imperial Germany — inside the body of Prince Oskar of Prussia, fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The year is 1904. Europe stands balanced on a knife’s edge. The Great War is ten years away. And this time… he remembers everything. Armed with knowledge of future catastrophes — trench warfare, naval blockades, industrial slaughter — Oskar refuses to become another ornamental royal. Instead, he begins reshaping the empire from within: Modernizing industry before rivals awaken. Reforming logistics before generals understand their weakness. Building dreadnoughts that rival Britain’s fleet. Forging elite forces that fight with tomorrow’s doctrine. Investing in technology decades ahead of its time. But power attracts enemies. Within the palace, jealous princes whisper. Within the army, old men resist reform. Across Europe, empires grow uneasy at Germany’s sudden acceleration. And in the shadows, forces that do not fly flags begin to move. Oskar does not dream of conquest. He dreams of survival. Yet the stronger he makes Germany, the closer the world drifts toward the very war he is trying to prevent. Can one reincarnated strategist alter the course of history — or will he simply forge a stronger empire for an even greater storm? --- Disclaimer This work is a speculative alternate-history fiction in which a modern man is reborn as Prince Oskar of Prussia and attempts to reshape early 20th-century Europe. While inspired by real historical figures and events, all characterizations, timelines, and outcomes are fictional and should not be interpreted as accurate representations of historical reality.

MAGICLAND The forging of the purple knight

MAGICLAND is a sprawling fantasy world that balances delicately between the vibrancy of life and the growing shadow of darkness. This universe is home to a remarkable diversity of races, including elves, demons, humans, demihumans, and dwarves, among others. It combines elements of medieval and modern technology, magic and fantastic creatures. The world is made up of five main continents that are in constant conflict, mainly due to demonic influence. After a century of peace achieved through heroic sacrifices, an ancient evil once again threatens stability. In this work, we will focus our attention on the prestigious Arcanum Bellator Academy. The ARCANUM BELLATOR ACADEMY is an institution located in the City of Valoria, on the continent of AETHORIA (the human continent), within the defenses of Fort Dawnshield. Founded 80 years ago by Queen Elara Dawnshield I, its mission is to prepare elite warriors in the fusion of martial skills and arcane knowledge, with the aim of facing future demonic threats. Our protagonist is Phantsin Dawnfire. Phantsin is a 13-year-old boy who was orphaned at the age of 5, after the murder of his parents, both renowned Dawnblades knight-mages, in a demonic ambush. He and his little sister, Flower, were taken in by the enigmatic noble Master Seamo. Since then, he has enjoyed a comfortable and privileged life, although marked by trauma and the urgent need to become strong. Phantsin hides a grave secret: within him resides a purple fire, a form of forbidden magic linked to the Void (the energy of the Great Demon). His greatest fear is being discovered, since the Inquisition would condemn him to death. His main motivation is to protect his sister Flower, the only family he has left. Throughout this narrative, we will explore dramas, conflicts, friendships, romances, confrontations, investigations, betrayals, comic moments and plot twists. Likewise, NSFW topics will be discussed in a subtle and respectful way. This journey does not seek the acquisition of power, but rather learning control over it and understanding its purpose. In the Arcanum Bellator, Phantsin will be seen as an outcast: a child prodigy surrounded by older, more experienced students, both in magic and political matters. You will face feelings of resentment, admiration, and immense pressure to perform at the highest level. His innate talent will clash with a structured teaching approach by instructors who fear his unpredictable fire. Its central conflict is internal: revenge versus protection. Will he transform into a weapon of pure destruction or learn to use his fire as a constructive and protective force, truly honoring his parents' legacy?

He loved the wrong sister and it cost him everything. Amber Ann Lance-Trace is a highly successful biochemist who built a perfect life—perfect house, perfect job, and a marriage to the charming and handsome, globe-trotting entrepreneur Dan Marcus Trace. The only problem? Their five-year marriage was built on the consequences of one drunken night. To add insult to injury - Dan has always been in love with Amber Ann’s older sister, the glamorous, humanitarian Jessica Jeanine Lance. Amber Ann knew the truth but settled for being his second choice, desperately hoping time would turn his heart. Emails from Jessica – heralding her eminent return home after six years abroad – shatters the delicate sham. Just thinking of her husband and sister rekindling their old flame is the catalyst Amber Ann needs. With a silent plan already in motion—a filed resignation, signed divorce papers, and a secret new property—Amber Ann leaves behind the mansion, the career, and the pain, symbolically handing her house keys to Jessica and walking out of her life forever. She is finally ready to build the dream her family always dismissed as "just a hobby": a specialized bakery on the peaceful outskirts of Carson City. But Dan, suddenly given what he felt he had always wanted, finds his fantasy quickly unraveling. Jessica is selfish, critical, controlling, and focused on changing his entire life, while Amber Ann's quiet competence and selfless support are suddenly and painfully absent. When a document courier arrives delivering the final divorce papers, Dan is confronted with the shattering reality: the stable, loving life he took for granted is gone, and the woman he had grown to love has left without a word. Now, Dan must face the brutal truth: He let go of the right sister. The chase is on to find Amber Ann, confess his true feelings, and convince the brilliant, newly independent woman that his second choice was the right choice all along.

Apocalypse Ground Zero: Refusing To Leave Home

I died once. Got stoned to death by a mob because a pretty girl with a heroine halo got jealous of my usefulness. Last thing I heard was her confession...she was the one who opened the gates to let the zombies in and pinned it on me. It was real touching stuff. The next thing I knew, I woke up in silk pajamas with a second chance. Here's the thing about knowing the apocalypse is coming: you prepare. I emptied grocery stores, stole weapons, filled a spatial storage with enough supplies to outlast the end of the world. I also learned my lesson about powers—they drain your life force, and I'm not dying twice for the privilege of throwing vines around. So I stayed home in the mansion I shared with my guardian and his head of security. But I decided to take the last bit of advice I had been given in my previous life: 'Stay home.' Done. I'm not going anywhere and no one is going to be able to move me if I don't want. Unfortunately for me, I stole the wrong thing in this life, and now I have another two men in my house who think that I don't know what I am doing. Four men...a billionaire guardian, his head of security, a weapons dealer, and his quiet enforcer...they all tried to convince me to evacuate. When that didn't work, they tried to leave without me. Funny how that works out when you realize the only stable thing in a collapsing world won't budge. Suddenly, their evacuation plans don't matter anymore. Suddenly, they're staying too. I'm not here to save anyone. I'm not the hero. I'm just a woman who's already survived this once, and I'm not interested in repeating my mistakes. But survival? That's my specialty. And apparently, I'm everyone else's, whether I like it or not. Author's Note: This is in a completely different world from my previous ones. This is a fresh start but with all the things you come to expect from me. There will be no crossovers (Gasp... I know!) The particulars: MFMMM No MM Age gap Zombies

The Lifetime of Piao

On the planet Nevera, power does not belong to governments. It belongs to one family. The Piao family has shaped the world for generations, guarding the World Tree, a living archive of knowledge so vast it has guided the rise of modern civilization itself. But control comes at a cost. As global pressure mounts to access the Tree, old alliances fracture, hidden agendas surface, and a carefully maintained balance begins to collapse. For the first time in history, the Piao family is no longer untouchable. At the center of it all stands Angela Piao. Brilliant, reclusive, and deliberately removed from power, she was never meant to stand at the heart of a political war. But as the world around her begins to turn, allies shifting, trust eroding, and the very people her family once protected becoming threats, everything she once held stable starts to break apart. The decision falls to her. Not because she wants it. Because no one else can. Beyond the family’s influence, figures like Kael Everwyn move in the shadows, carrying motives that threaten to expose truths the world was never meant to see. And as the line between truth and manipulation begins to blur, one reality becomes clear: This was never just a debate. It was a staged battlefield. To understand what must be protected… Angela will be forced to look into the past. Because the truth behind the World Tree was never meant to be found. Author’s Note: A female-led sci-fi story with politics, family dynamics, and AI — no romance, no harem, just story.

The Ancestor of All Demons (The "Original Sin")

In the beginning, the universe was not divided into good and evil. There was only energy. But the Gods of Heaven rewrote the laws of the universe. They declared that Light was justice and Darkness was sin. From that moment on, countless worlds were ruled, controlled, and judged by Heaven. Heroes were chosen. Kings were blessed. Entire civilizations prospered under the Light. But the universe slowly stopped changing. No wars. No evolution. No rebellion. No freedom. Only order. Only control. Only Heaven. Then, a man discovered the truth the gods tried to hide. Good and Evil were never enemies. They were fuel. And whoever controlled the fuel… controlled everything. When his world was destroyed by Heaven for the crime of “producing too much darkness,” he did not scream, beg, or curse the gods. He smiled. Because at the moment of his death, he finally understood the law of the universe. When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer human. In the endless void, he wrote a book. A forbidden book that would shake the heavens, corrupt the saints, turn heroes into demons, and bring gods down from their thrones. He called it: The Great Demonic Script. From that day on, the universe gained a new path. The Demonic Path. And its creator became known by many names: The First Demon. The Writer of Sin. The Enemy of Heaven. The Demon Ancestor. The Original Sin. This is not the story of a hero. This is the story of the man who created Evil.
