Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (fanfic) - Imperial arc

In an alternate timeline where magic and technology have evolved as one, the world is shaped by nations wielding military-grade magic, cutting-edge CAD (Casting Assistance Devices), and strategic magicians who dictate the tides of war. Magic is no longer the mystical art of old but a scientific discipline—honed, measured, and weaponized. As the world entered the late 21st century, power struggles between superstates intensified. The balance of power in Asia began to shift when a rising force from the south, the Imperial Federal Republic of the Philippines (IFRP), embarked on an ambitious campaign. Using both superior magic and military innovation, this empire systematically conquered and unified the ASEAN nations, establishing itself as the dominant power in the region. Despite global tensions, life in Japan remained relatively peaceful, with the country maintaining its sovereignty through its own elite magicians and strategic alliances. Magic High Schools served as training grounds for the next generation of magicians, ensuring that Japan’s magical prowess remained strong in an era where might determined fate. However, unknown to them, a storm was brewing just beyond their shores. As the IFRP solidified its rule over Southeast Asia, their ambitions grew bolder. With ASEAN under their banner, their sights turned north—to Japan. The world watched in uncertainty as a new imperial power emerged, prepared to challenge the old order. The invasion would mark a turning point in history, where magic, technology, and warfare would collide on an unprecedented scale. In this new reality, alliances would be tested, rivalries would be forged, and the fate of nations would be decided not by diplomacy—but by the strength of those who wielded magic in war.

Lumenfall: When Machines Pray

In a fractured world where holy light and heretical machinery vie for dominion, two dynasties stand on the brink of annihilation—and their only hope lies in a power that could destroy them both. The Ashorex, revered as divine stewards of the Gaia Continent, wield Luminar Code: sacred magic fueled by the faith of their people. But their miracles are fading. Celia Ashorex, the reluctant heir to the throne, hears the dying whispers of the Light Dominion itself during her coronation—a ritual that goes horrifically wrong when her holy power twists into a lethal force. Branded a heretic, she flees into the shadows, desperate to uncover why her prayers now breed corruption instead of grace. The Lobenstein, exiled architects of reality-bending technology, survive by embedding Arc Cores into their flesh—machines that warp time and gravity but slowly corrode their bodies into dust. Jax Lobenstein, a brilliant engineer rotting from his own inventions, stumbles upon coordinates to the Third Heart, a mythical relic tied to his family’s cursed legacy. But to reach it, he must venture into Ashorex territory, where his kind are hunted as abominations. When Celia and Jax collide in the blighted borderlands, their clash of magic and tech rips open a Reality Shard—a vision of a forgotten prophecy. They see the Third Heart: a pulsating hybrid of crystal and engine, capable of mending their broken world… or unraveling it entirely. Pursued by zealots, Veythari mutants, and the shadowy Vult Council (who manipulate both families for their own ends), the pair form a fragile alliance. But trust is scarce. Celia’s holy sigils flicker with doubt, while Jax’s machines eat away at his humanity. As they decode the Third Heart’s secrets, they uncover a truth neither family dares admit: their powers share the same tainted origin. The Ashorex’s light and the Lobenstein’s steel are two halves of a primal force—one that demands sacrifice. To prevent a cataclysm, Celia and Jax must defy their bloodlines, blending faith and code in ways that could heal the continent… or ignite a war that devours gods and mortals alike.

Loser to Legend: Gathering Wives with My Unlimited Money System

[Mature content and themes!] [Contains lemons as well as onions!] By the end of 2025, humanity made first contact with extraterrestrial beings. A century later, in 2125, the world had transformed beyond recognition. With the aid of alien technologies and interactions with various space-faring species, humans expanded their reach to other planets and galaxies. Advanced sciences, indistinguishable from magic, genetic mutations, and cybernetic enhancements propelled humanity to new heights. Humans were no longer the weak, powerless beings they once were; they had evolved into one of the dominant species in the cosmos. Xavier, a young nomad from a small village, had received a scholarship to attend the prestigious Astraeus Academy on Earth. Although he was reluctant to leave his family behind, he enrolled in the academy upon his father's insistence. His ancestors had made a significant investment in Astraeus City—when it wasn’t even planned and constructed—which was the most powerful and luxurious metropolis that many dreamed of living in but few could even visit. Xavier's relative, who lived in the city, handled all the accounts. Xavier was supposed to meet them and claim what was rightfully his. However, things didn’t go as planned. Those with power and blinded by greed had taken over everything, and there was no sign of his ancestors' investment. In this new world, money was everything. It could buy anything and everything. Morals held no value against the almighty dollar. A father would sell his son for money, and a mother would kill her daughter for it. Oh, you can’t pay the 1 million dollar loan? No worries! Just rent your wife for a week and the loan is paid! What, you killed someone? No problem! Just pay 10 million dollars and walk free! Determined to reclaim what was his, Xavier decided to enroll in Astraeus Academy and claim the throne of power that rightfully belonged to him. But most humans had undergone genetic enhancements and cybernetic modifications, making them far stronger than ordinary humans. Xavier, however, was just a normal human, and due to his innate disorder, his body couldn’t support cybernetic enhancements. Xavier was bullied and thrashed every day, called names, framed and accused, and even worse, there were attempts on his life. Just when he thought his life was over, a voice called out to him—a voice that some might presume belonged to a goddess. The goddess gave him a system… an unlimited money system. In a world where money was everything, how would Xavier survive? But with an unlimited money system, who could stop him? “I need a house.” [Just buy it.] “I want a car.” [Steal it.] “I am looking for something ancient that’s not available anywhere on the planet.” [Unlock the Dimensional Store and get it.] “I am bleeding.” [Get the divine grade healing potion.] “I… want a girlfriend…” [Starting a quest to seduce your bully’s girlfriend! Step 1: Gift her flowers!] Follow Xavier in his journey to not only become the universe's richest, but also the most strongest.
