Worldbuilding Stories

Eowyn Vaux was never loved by her family. Blamed for her mother's death and pushed aside after her father remarried, Eowyn became nothing more than an unwanted daughter in the Vaux household. When her father finally decided he had no use for her, she was cast out and secretly condemned to die. On a moonlit night beneath two moons, Eowyn ran through the wilderness with hunting dogs and knights on her trail. She fought. She ran. She begged fate for another chance. But in the end, a sword pierced her heart. Her life should have ended there. Instead, a mysterious voice awakened within the darkness. [You have been selected by the Great Architect.] [A chance for a better life has been granted.] Eowyn is given one wish. She doesn't ask for wealth. She doesn't ask for revenge. She doesn't ask to become powerful. She simply wishes for the ability to survive and live an ordinary life. When she opens her eyes, she finds herself standing twelve years in the past-before her family abandoned her, before her death, and before her fate was sealed. This time, Eowyn knows exactly what awaits her. When her father offers her a thousand gold coins to leave the Vaux family, she accepts without hesitation. She will take her mother's belongings, walk away from the estate, and never look back. With a mysterious System awakening within her, Eowyn begins building a new life far away from the family that discarded her. But changing one's fate is never as simple as escaping the past. The more Eowyn uses her newfound abilities, the more she discovers that her previous life may have hidden secrets she was never meant to uncover. Perhaps her mother's death was not an accident. Perhaps her father's hatred had a deeper reason. And perhaps the Great Architect did not choose her merely out of pity. She was given a second life to survive. But what will Eowyn do when she discovers that her fate was never as simple as she believed?

Jack didn't ask to save the world. He just wanted to run his convenience store in peace. Then he woke up in a wasteland. No town. No neighbors. No Wi-Fi. Just cracked red earth, dead trees, and a voice in his head calling itself the Limitless Omniversal Supply System. The LOSS System. Jack laughed for a very long time. The system was not amused. Now he has a fully stocked store, unlimited water and electricity, and a system that's somehow both all-powerful and deeply offended by everything he says. To survive in a world where the average temperature hits 52°C, Jack will have to sell supplies, make allies, build shelter, and figure out why his little store might be the first step toward bringing a dead world back to life. One cold soda at a time.

She was meant to be a pawn in their game of thrones. Instead, she broke the board. Tired of the suffocating politics of the Red Keep and deeply wounded by her father's decisions, sixteen-year-old Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen makes an unthinkable choice. Leaving behind only farewell letters, she takes to the sky on her golden dragon, Syrax, and vanishes into the night-shattering the line of succession and plunging the Seven Kingdoms into an unprecedented political deadlock. While King's Landing fractures in her absence-leaving Queen Alicent to desperately forge new alliances and hold a crumbling court together-Rhaenyra charts a bold new path across the Narrow Sea. In the ancient, storied cities of Essos, she transforms from a fugitive princess into a sovereign dragonlord in her own right, building an independent empire of wealth and influence entirely on her own terms. Driven by forgotten bloodlines and ancient visions, Rhaenyra's journey leads her beyond the edges of the known world to a fortress of fused stone hidden beneath the bones of a titan dragon. There, deep within the subterranean fires of a forgotten realm, she uncovers secrets capable of reshaping the future of House Targaryen forever. Rich in Valyrian lore, political intrigue, and grand ambition, Geros ilas is an epic tale of a princess who refused to be ruled-and the realm she left burning in her wake.

🏆 Official Award Winner of a Japanese Web Novel Contest! Translated directly from the original Japanese Web Novel, which was handpicked for the Select Award (Top Honor) in Kakuyomu's Official Contest, hosted by KADOKAWA in Japan! 📚 Official Award Announcement (Japanese Original) https://kakuyomu.jp/contests/kakuyomu_10theme#theme06 --- "This world is a legacy system running on an unpatched OS. I'm just here to install the stability updates." When Kazuya, a former systems engineer and corporate slave, was summoned to another world along with his entire house, he didn't ask for a legendary sword. He asked for Fiber-Optic Internet. Armed with the collective wisdom of the entire world via the Internet, there is now virtually nothing he doesn't know. He has zero interest in "grand adventures." He'd rather stay inside his magically-transported home, drink ice-cold cola, and solve the Kingdom's greatest crises via remote work. By treating every disaster-from collapsing infrastructure to "ancient curses"-as a series of logical bugs, he optimizes a world that relies far too much on fickle magic using modern systems thinking. While he "works" from the comfort of his sofa, his black cat Tama-who is secretly the Legendary Savior, Tarmane-is busy "deleting" any hardware threats (monsters) that dare disturb her owner's Wi-Fi signal. The people call him a "Transcendent Sage." The Knights call his instructions "Divine Logic." In reality, he's just a lazy optimizer who knows that in any world, information is the ultimate weapon. An intellectual Isekai comedy where the greatest miracles aren't performed with wands, but with a perfectly executed patch. --- **Note from the Author:** This is the official English version of an original Japanese web novel, currently on going in Japan. New episodes will be published here sequentially as the translation is finalized.

How does someone disappear? How do you start over where no one knows who you are? Where your past can't find you? Losing both parents a young age, then shuffled through the system, Gabby learned to stand tall and weather any storm. She didn't begrudge her past, rather regarded it as what made her strong, giving her the ability to face challenges rather than run away. With no attachments, after obtaining an advanced degree and licensing as a Nurse Practitioner, Gabby was on the hunt for new adventures. One took her to New York City, where she worked for a family she was certain was involved with the Mafia. She knew to ask no questions and made it a point to hear nothing. When the five-month assignment ended, she moved on to the next adventure: Boston. In Boston, she found something unexpected: a (grand)father figure. Caring for Bernard Driscoll, a self-made billionaire, was a dream come true. Conversations with Bernard were deep, he listened and gave advice like a grandfather. She genuinely loved him. It would have been a perfect assignment if not for his unredeemable grandson, Sebastian. Sebastian Driscoll was driven man, determined to make his grandfather proud by growing the family business. A phenom in business, his love life was a disaster. His penchant for dating fake women that were only after his wealth had driven a wedge between the two Driscolls. At his wits' end, Bernard set a plan in motion. After persuasion and a little coercion, he convinced Gabby and Sebastian to marry. In their mind, it was never meant to last, and love wasn't part of the equation. Until it was. But when Bernard's health failed and he passed, Sebastian changed into someone Gabby didn't recognize and their relationship imploded. After a disastrous dinner party, Gabby received a text photo of Sebastian with another woman. She was done. With public opinion painting her as the villain, Gabby used her New York connections to disappear without a trace.

Ichido Kaminari never wanted this. He wanted a quiet life. A future with his family. Maybe even become a merchant someday. Then his village was destroyed. His family was torn apart. And survival became the only future left to him. Years later, a debt pulls Ichido into the Grand Selection-a brutal tournament where six hundred young contestants are thrown into a series of deadly trials for the chance to enter Black Shadow, one of the most powerful syndicates in the world. Every level has rules. Every rule has a catch. And failure means death. Armed with nothing but a chain, his instincts, and a determination to return to his younger sister Nayuri, Ichido is forced to fight, form alliances, and trust people he barely knows. Among them are Saara, a girl determined to repay the life he saved, and Kyo, a timid and seemingly helpless boy who may be hiding far more than anyone realizes. But the deeper Ichido gets into the tournament, the clearer one thing becomes: Surviving the Grand Selection may not be the hardest part. It may be surviving the people beside him. In a world of deadly Kaichi and Daichi abilities, ruthless syndicates, shifting loyalties, and children treated like pieces in a game, Ichido must decide how much he is willing to sacrifice to live- and whether surviving is worth it if he loses himself along the way. **NEVERLASTING ORIGINS** A dark fantasy story of survival, betrayal, found family, tactical battles, and the terrible cost of staying alive.
