Body Tempering

Thrown out of the palace as a helpless child, Kayan knew nothing of his bloodline, nothing of the kingdom he was meant to inherit. Marked with the royal sign on his body an unmistakable birthright he lived nineteen years in obscurity, raised by a stranger who showed him kindness when his own family turned away. But fate does not forget. When Kayan returns to the palace, not as a prince but as a lowly cleaner, destiny begins to stir. A chance encounter with his grieving father reveals the truth: the boy once lost is the heir long sought after. The kingdom rejoices at his return, and his father’s heart finally heals. But beneath the celebration lies a darkness waiting to strike. The Queen his stepmother, who cast him out years ago wears her smile like a mask while plotting his death. His mother, haunted by guilt for nearly two decades, vows to protect him at all costs. And amid the shadows of revenge, Kayan finds love in the most unlikely of places a fellow cleaner girl with a secret of her own. Together, they must navigate the treacherous palace walls where betrayal hides behind silk curtains and loyalty is a dangerous gamble. As power shifts, old wounds reopen, and blood ties are tested, one question remains: Can the forgotten heir survive the crown that was always his?

When a city forged in dragon fire turns against it's own heir, a power long erased from history awakens. Evans Draker, a brilliant researcher, reluctant noble, and bearer of the rare Celestro Dragon Force, loses everything in a single night. Falsified evidence brands him as a traitor. His brother frames him. The council condemns him. And his own father, the Grand Lord of Drakarion casts him out. But betrayal doesn’t kill him. It awakens something else. In a secret chamber, moments before Ronan’s assassins can rip the Celestro force from his body, the impossible happens. The dormant blood within Evans erupts, shattering the extraction bindings. The Primordius Dragon—the first and supreme dragon force believed extinct for thousands of years—stirs awake inside him. Its roar becomes his heartbeat. Its power becomes his rebirth. Now marked as a criminal, hunted by the city he once swore to protect, Evans rises from exile carrying a force capable of overturning nations. And as he uncovers the conspiracy that destroyed him, he finds that Drakarion’s downfall began long before his disgrace. Clans scheme. Warlords gather. Enemies hide in the shadows. But none of them are prepared for the return of the one thing they thought time had buried forever— The Almighty War Dragon.

I was born a genius numbers, logic, strategy… all of it came easy. Everything around me felt painfully plain, predictable, and boring. Even the web novels I read were the same heroes driven by emotion, not reason. Pathetic. But that all changed the night my family was slaughtered by people who weren’t even from Earth. I watched my mother’s body hit the ground. I heard my sister cry my name one last time before she was beheaded And then they said it .. “Your bloodline has to be erased.” Then came the darkness. When I opened my eyes, a glowing figure stood before me a being that called itself a remnant. It offered me a deal: a system unlike any other. The Architect System. In exchange for freeing it one day, I would gain knowledge and the power to rebuild, reshape, and destroy. I don’t know what this new world is. I don’t care about fate, destiny, or prophecies .I sure as hell don't plan to be anyone's pawn. All I know is this I will find the ones who killed my family . Hell I would even rewrite destiny if I have to . And when I’m done with them, they’ll wish they were never born.

Three months to live. Zero mana. One desperate lie. **That's how I became the most wanted man in Neo-Tokyo.** I told an assassin my body was "overflowing with Yang Energy." She blushed instead of shooting. I told an S-Rank Hunter her sword technique was "stiff because she's sexually repressed." She destroyed a mountain and swore eternal loyalty. I told a Succubus Queen I was "too powerful to be charmed." She became my maid. Now the is forcing me to maintain this ridiculous persona: **EXTERNAL:** "Kneel. You're not worthy of my touch." **INTERNAL:** *Oh god, if she squeezes my hand she'll break my wrist.* Every woman who desires me generates Desire Points. Lose their faith? I die. The Detective thinks I'm a criminal mastermind. The Heiress thinks I'm a caged god. My Disciple thinks my trembling is "restrained divine power." **They're all wrong. I'm just a dying scammer who weaponized charisma.** But here's the twist: The more they believe the lie... the more real it becomes. **[Warning: Contains Comedy, Face-Slapping, Steamy Mana Transfer, and a Protagonist Who Refuses to Break Character Even When Terrified]**

For 18 months, Ares Thorne was trapped in his own body due to a deadly neurotoxin from a high-level military betrayal. In the eyes of the elites of Oakhaven City and the Valerius Family, he was merely a crippled, mute son-in-law, and useless trash. They continued to trample on his pride every day, unaware that the man in the wheelchair was "The Ghost"—the Asura God of War who had once led hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the Shadow Legion. When the greed of the Valerius Family peaked to the point of torturing and threatening Clara—the only woman who sincerely cared for him—Ares's anger managed to shatter the poison's seal in his brain. His memory returned completely and his killing instincts awakened. However, instead of immediately revealing himself, Ares chose to remain sitting in his wheelchair. From the shadows, the General began a deadly game of revenge. With just one line of code on the Dark Web, Ares reactivated his trillions of dollars in wealth and his secret troops around the world. He brought down the Valerius Family's arrogance overnight, hunted the global traitor syndicate, and leveled anyone who dared to underestimate him. When The Ghost finally stood up from his chair, his enemies only had one choice: Kneel or perish.

Adrian hurried to shake his head. “I swear I didn't do it! I would never hit Layla," He turned to his wife. "Tell him, Layla, tell the truth!

From Erwin Wickison I never asked to be here. One moment I was living my life, and the next I was dragged—along with millions of others—into a place ruled by a system that treats us like pieces on a board. Every Game is built to break something, whether it’s a body, a mind, or the small parts of myself I keep pretending are “good.” I’ve watched people die. I’ve watched people change. And I know I’m changing too. I just hope there’s something human left in me by the end… if there’s even an end. WARNING. This book contains smut, psychological decay, moral collapse, human intimacy twisted into survival, and a variety of horrors that do not wait for your permission before sinking into your mind. It will not hold your hand. It will not apologize. And it will not stop once you open it. If you continue, you’re choosing to step into a sequence of events designed to peel apart the comfortable assumptions you rely on to feel “safe.” Some of you will be fascinated. Some of you will be disturbed. Most of you will not remain the same. I’m not here to reassure you. I’m only here to tell you one thing: Whatever you think this is, whatever you think you know… you don’t. And once you begin, you can’t go back. — Welcome to the Games

"I must be losing my mind," Min Suhyun muttered, struggling to grasp the unsettling reality that unfolded before her. How had she ended up here? In the realm of clichéd stories, such a trope typically befell the deceased, not someone who had merely skimmed through old drafts. And yet, here she was, trapped in the body of an insignificant extra named Serein Rowe. The realization hit her like a bolt of lightning, raising questions she couldn't easily dismiss. ‘This can't be another one of my lucid dreams... Is this some twisted cosmic joke?’ she pondered, her mind reeling with the absurdity of her situation. Nevertheless, given that she could barely do anything to return to her world, she might as well seize this opportunity to finally finish what she had started, right? Living here and continuing until the end of this draft, she could create a good ending, '—though maybe it won't be as easy…?' Surviving as a side character suffering from a curse-like chronic illness? That would undoubtedly be a struggle. Now, that would undoubtedly pose a challenge, although it’s still a better fate than dying early, serving only as a trigger for the story's advancement. Min Suhyun contemplated for a moment before firmly resolving to a single objective: To survive until the very end.
