The raise of Maureen Smith and her Good Luck System

Oh, great. Another underdog story. Except this underdog was born with six S-ranks, broke the scanner, and got branded a defect by a corrupt agent who couldn’t handle the truth. Classic. Welcome to a world where the Hex Grid decides your worth, Flux is your power, and if you run out mid-fight? Congratulations. Now you’re burning lifespan. Fun system. Zorian Sterling got dumped in Worker class anyway. A slave. An anchor. A joke. But he remembers a past life. A death. A promise. And he’s not here to climb their corrupt ladder. He’s here to torch it. At an academy full of scarred geniuses and untouchable monsters, he’ll stand beside the Genius of the Dark, hunt horrors born from Godwounds, and learn techniques capable of making reality kneel. They should have let him die. Read it. Or don’t. The Defect doesn’t care. He’s already coming.

Komeno Riyo was just an average japanese man - working unreal hours at a company to make ends meet. However, one night after walking home late from work, he finds himself caught up within a robbery of a bank - and when the police arrive and a shootout breaks out, he is caught in the crossfire - a bullet piercing his heart. Right there on the street, as he bleeds out, he thinks back on his life and those that he cared about, and as the last bit of life leaves him, he makes a dying wish that should miracles exist - for him to not be reborn. Unfortunately for him, fate has different plans and he is reborn into a different world - where magic and monsters are not an uncommon sight. And of course, most importantly of all, he is not reborn as a human or any humanoid creatures - but in fact... a Snake. Now, deciding to live out his new, unwanted reptilian life, he sets out into the wide, wide unknown world - just wishing to get a chance to explore it.

Victor never expected to wake up inside the world of a story he already knew. Worse, he didn’t transmigrate into the protagonist. He became Victor Alves, the arrogant only son of Duke Alves, a powerful noble heir studying at Starlight Royal Academy and, more importantly, one of the villains destined to become a stepping stone for the original protagonist, Ryan Carter. Victor knows how this story is supposed to end. Ryan will rise. The geniuses surrounding him will become monsters who shake the continent. The Alves family will collapse. And within a year, Victor himself will die. Fortunately, the moment Victor accepts his new reality, he awakens the Investment System. The system allows him to see the hidden potential, needs, talents, and possible futures of those around him. By investing gold, equipment, potions, skills, bloodlines, cultivation resources, and even opportunities into suitable targets, Victor can change their destinies and receive multiplied returns. A struggling swordsman with the potential to become a legendary Sword Saint? Invest. An overlooked servant hiding a terrifying bloodline? Invest. A future powerhouse destined to die before ever realizing her potential? Invest. While the empire’s nobles compete for geniuses who have already proven themselves, Victor quietly gathers those the world has ignored and turns them into monsters. And every time his followers grow stronger, Victor’s rewards become even more absurd. By the time the great families realize that the insignificant people surrounding Victor have become generals, Sword Saints, assassins, and legendary mages, it is already too late. Because Victor was never simply raising subordinates....He was building an empire of his own.

This is a fan fiction work based on A Song of Ice and Fire. The main plot is based on the TV series, supplemented by the novels, with some personal additions interspersed throughout. I have tried to keep it as faithful to the original work as possible and make it plausible. I have checked the characters' appearances, dates, etc., against the A Song of Ice and Fire Wiki. If there are any omissions or errors, please feel free to point them out in the comments.

Never would I’ve thought that a simple water ball would awaken those feelings inside of me, as the day passed, memories falling to pieces together to awaken an ability that brings me trauma and dread towards the future. As the day passed, more knowledge and different future that lies ahead of me appeared and scare me. I tried to bear through the world, and see what kind of struggle I can make before stopping at the juncture where I can make a change. In this godforsaken world… I wonder, what change can I make? tldr: Claude was just a brat—a village troublemaker with a sharp tongue and a sharper mind—until a prank gone wrong awakened something terrifying and impossible. Memories. Not from another life, but from many. Futures that never happened. Timelines that fractured. Pain that felt too real to be fiction. Now, armed with fragments of knowledge from alternate realities, Claude knows one thing: the peaceful village of Buena is not safe. A disaster is coming—the Mana Calamity—and no one is prepared. So Claude trains. Under Paul Greyrat's sword. Alongside Rudeus' magic. With grit, secrets, and a plan no one can know.

First off, this novel was written before version 3.4, so there might be some changes to the original story. If you’re not into wish-fulfillment stories with a big harem and an overpowered MC right from the start, this probably isn’t for you. === Lucian, whether by fortune or misfortune, transmigrated into the world of Honkai Star Rail and became an Emanator of Abundance. As he struggled to find a way to avoid the fate of being hunted as an Emanator of Abundance, he suddenly obtained the Godly Script System—a mysterious System that granted him a unique conceptual ability each time he completed a character script. With the Godly Script System, he not only saved the characters of the scripts from their doomed destinies and forged unbreakable bonds with them, but his actions in the scripts also affected reality itself. From the moment he became the Supreme Guardian of Belobog and started with the script of Tribios, his legendary life in the new world began.

Lin Yunfeng screwed up. Big time. One mistake. That’s all it was. A stupid, drunken mistake. So why the hell was Ren Muchen chasing him down a creepy-ass abandoned hallway like a maniac?! "You slept with me and ran? Fine! Let’s see how long you last!" Uh, yeah. No thanks. Yunfeng ran faster, heart pounding—until he skidded to a stop. Right in front of a half-rotten zombie. "Oh, come on!" Before he could even process his impending doom, the thing lunged. His life flashed before his eyes. Then—WHACK. A massive axe took the zombie’s head clean off. And just like that, Muchen was grabbing his collar, hauling him up like a ragdoll. "You’re not dying," Muchen said, looking way too smug for someone who just saved his life. "Not today. Not anytime soon." Yunfeng barely got his breath back before Muchen dropped the biggest bomb ever. "Because we’re having a baby." Wait. What?! Yunfeng clutched his stomach. "H-How do you know?!" "You KNEW?!" Muchen shook him like a damn rattle. "And you still ran? Take responsibility, you bastard! We made a life!" Well. Shit. There was officially no running from this.
