    It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

    After dying from a strange terminal illness, Ling Lan was reborn into a world 10000 years into the future. Although she dearly wished she could just live a peaceful and uneventful life in her new healthy body, fate had other plans ... Forced to disguise herself as a boy just so she could inherit her deceased father's premium military benefits, Ling Lan's journey to adulthood was full of challenges. After much difficulty, she finally turned sixteen when she could drop the charade. But before she could grasp her newfound freedom to get married and start her own family, a twist of fate results in her being thrown into the Federation's top military boys' school. With these twists of fate, Ling Lan had little choice but to walk further and further down a path of no return, one of cold and aloof dominance ... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ryuxenji the translator here. :3 Here are some other things you should know: 1) This story is NOT primarily a romance. QI's system right now categorizes all novels taken from the female novel Chinese site (起点女生网) as 'romance' without fail, regardless of whether they truly are romance. So, if you are here just for the romance, you might want to find a different novel. There will be some romance eventually, but most of this novel is Sci-Fi/Xianxia with a lot of world-building and character development. 2) I use British spelling. So, please ensure spelling errors are really errors before reporting them. 3) No matter what the release rate up top says, the guaranteed release rate right now is 1 chp/day (a.k.a. 7 chps/week). All else is extra at my discretion. (I'll try my best, but RL responsibilities come first.)

    How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!

    How is it you go about defining good and evil? A question that has plagued the mind of our protagonist ever since he was born. ............... Floid, a young man born on earth suddenly finds himself transported into a world of magic and demons after playing the mysterious game 'Rivalle'. But in this world, he is reincarnated as a demon instead of the regular hero he played as. Join Floid as he paves his own path in this new world as a demons while facing suspicion for looking just like the greatest enemy of the demons, the hero. ....... I'd like to put this here for all those who will be interested in reading. This book is not the sort of novel where the main character goes around taking all the abilities in the world for himself. Nor would it be a book where only the main character has screen time and we only focus on what he's doing as he goes around saving damsels in distress. I want to write a novel where all the characters have their personalities and trials. The readers do not have to love only the MC since all the characters have something worth relating to, they can like any of the characters. There will be powers that the MC cannot have (Ever) and people the MC cannot fight (For now). Things will happen outside of the MC's control and he might never even know about it. If things like these aren't to your liking, or if you want a book where you just watch the MC run around and spawn crazy skills mindlessly, then this book might not be for you. But if you can stay with me on this journey, I promise to write something you'll love. -D_RegalInsomniac ........... This book will be a mix of magic, kingdom building and an absurdly interesting cast of characters. Everything that they do will be perfectly explained and all questions are welcome. Just like always, I will make a discord for us all to meet and see our favorite characters soon! ........ I'm currently working hard to correct some spelling errors in some chapters, so if you see any unfixed errors, please bear with me. ........ Please note, the harem will not be beyond five members and they will all be demon girls. The main character has a distaste for human nature and so he will not have any special relationship with any of them other than occasional sex. Thank you and see you inside! ...... P.P.S. Our discord is live!! Wanna see what your favourite characters look like, or you just wanna chat with other readers? Then use the link below!: https://discord.gg/FGrRuwE2TH

    To Be a Demon Prince

    Accused of being a terrorist, Montana Mills had been driven out of his home. Seeking vengeance, he ran to an organization to train and hunt down the person who stole his identity. However, things take a turn for the worse when the person ends up being a witch. Witch… they are the people who received powers from demons in exchange for helping the demons propagate sins. Rendering the normal weapons useless against their kind, the witches only have a few fears. Montana Mills is just an ordinary person who summoned a demon for a hellhound; he has no idea he would be on a path to fully embrace the dark magic just for his personal gain. However, his handler, Belphegor, has more plans for him. Using his sudden spark of vindication, Belphegor wage a war against the master of the terrorist—his own brother at arms, Satan. Gaining the support of more and more Princes of Hell, Montana gets pit against one of them. Stakes rise, and even his forgotten past is unearthed. Embracing a new name to propel his goals forward, Montana willingly enters the world of demons… and even vied to replace the Demon Prince of Wrath himself. ... "So it all came to this. You and me, finally standing face-to-face." A wide, menacing grin spread on Satan's face as he looked down at the approaching witch. "Tell me, Montana Mills... how was your descent to Hell?" "Worth the wait." Montana lifted his left arm and curled his fingers, blue flames blazing to turn it into a four-fingered claw. "Since you're looking forward to meeting me, I take it as you getting ready to fall by my hands." Satan only got up from the throne and dropped the goblet at the side as his humongous bat-like wings slowly spread behind him, casting a shadow that ate up the entire width of the chamber. He raised both hands as if downplaying the witch's words. "You really think you can kill me now?" Montana crouched down and summoned the blue flames to embrace his body as a silhouette of a hellhound emerged around him. "I do." Boom! He dashed towards the demon prince at the speed of sound and swung down his claw. Satan only laughed out as he summoned bones to cover his arms and block the attack. A loud sound and a brutal shockwave followed and rippled through the air as Montana's claw struck against Satan's arm. With their eyes getting at the same level, Satan returned the glare that Montana gave him. However, Montana grinned as well as his dark eyes lit up brightly in blue fire. "Do you really think I can't take your place as a demon prince?" ... This is a work of fiction. All similarities to events and people are coincidental.

    DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN

    ***On Hiatus...*** Regular updates will be resuming on 25th January 2024... Thank you for your patience and Davies will be back soon. Davies had just been transmigrated… but he wasn’t happy about it. After all, it was now his fifth life, fourth transmigration, the third time he’s been betrayed and murdered, his second…(oh well… no more lines) Davies: Hey! Where are my second and first times… Author: I already said I have no more lines, so shut up and let me finish the synopsis! … After realizing that he wasn’t destined to be a hero and after many run-ins with the “Fated Protagonists”, Davies totally abhors those crybabies that have their heavenly daddies spoon-feeding them with opportunities to be strong, especially at the expense of himself as he always ended up with the short end of the stick in all his lives. Davies is now in his fifth life and now has a system that seems to target protagonists. Even though he doesn’t understand why he's been used as a stepping stone for the "fated ones" in all of his lives, or why he keeps on transmigrating, or even why the system is just finally showing up after all the transmigrations he’s been true… According to the system, he was on his last life but at least now with the system at his side to aid him against the protagonists, he can wreak havoc and have his revenge against the protagonists in this world and also find out who is messing with his life… is how the story should have gone, but… “What the hell is with this busted system…!!!???” ------------------------------------------------------------------- *Disclaimer alert* This story is not all fun and games where nothing tragic happens. There will be sad moments and devastating moments. (Some of y'all might even cry) Comedy is also a major part of the story. it may not be enough to keep you reeling in laughter, but it's enough to get you smiling... I hope. The story is set in a fantasy world with all types of fantasy creatures and even some of my original creations and there is different type of power level so the story will be a bit slow-paced at the start, the story may become fast paced later on though. Things to expect… -Strong but not OP MC at the start. -Rich MC. -Cunning but Playful MC. -Magic and Melee combat and Transformation type abilities.

    Summoned to be a Weapon

    Twin sisters Kate & Lina were just supposed to be going on a family vacation with both their parents for the first time in a while. They however ended up flying together alone on a plane ahead of their parents because of a booking error. Things were going smoothly as it was a perfectly fine day for airline travel without a single cloud or obstruction to the path of the airplane. Without warning lightning struck the plane, and when everyone thought they were going to be electrocuted to death they opened their eyes to find out that they were transported to a new world. Arriving in the unknown world, they quickly discover that while they might have gotten a unique ability that allows them to stand out among the people of this unknown world. However unlike the various isekai series(both new and old versions) that a lot of them were aware of, they did not have any knowledge nor experience to use even the most basic of basic skill or magic native to this world. Since they were unable to do even that using their newfound ability was an impossibility for them entirely. They had power but no way to properly use even a fraction of it on their own. They soon came to know that they were not transported to this unknown world by accident or coincidence, but they were indeed summoned. The purpose they were summoned for, and the reality they were facing differ from the stories. They were not summoned... to be heroes as there was no threat human or otherwise. Conflicts and wars were something they could handle themselves for their work as even the the lowest rank solider and/or adventurer were better. even to be ultimate weapons as those in power already had those already They were summoned to be mere weapons that anyone could gain access to a long as they met the requirements. Their summoning was just them acquiring a new batch of weapons to made and used nothing more and nothing else.
