Nightmare Puppet Master

Nightmare Puppet Master

wagalaba
It all began when Xie Mingchi discovered that his pupils could turn red. "Congratulations, you've become the 273rd Nightmare Puppet Master. You have 273 days left to live." Suddenly, countless eerie ghost puppets appeared in front of Xie Mingchi. He grabbed one, and instantly, he was sucked into another world. The ghost puppets surrounded him, and the mist was thick with illusions… This place was desolate, dangerous, and strange. Countless puppet masters scrambled in fear, terrified that if they hesitated for even a second, they'd be devoured alive by the ghost puppets. Looking at the frail, red-eyed boy, people sneered. They thought he wouldn't be able to capture a single ghost puppet, and even if he faced the lowest-level one, he'd surely be killed by its backlash. To this, Xie Mingchi simply curled the corner of his lips. "Interesting." The ghost puppets bared their fangs and lunged at Xie Mingchi. With a calm smile, Xie Mingchi tied a string around the wrist of one of the ghost creatures. Ghost puppet: "???" Is this a joke? But the very next moment, the ghost puppet became Xie Mingchi's servant. With a flick of his finger, the ghost puppet was forced to diligently serve him. The stunned puppet masters: "???" Why was it so easy for him?! Then, one day, they realized that even the Lord of Puppet City willingly worked under Xie Mingchi’s command… What couldn't he control? A legend began to spread through the puppet master community—the 273rd Puppet Master was unlike anyone else. No matter how powerful a ghost puppet was, it would obediently become his puppet when it came into his presence—even the Lord of Puppet City was no exception! Under the night sky, the city lord, surrounded by chilling mist and stepping lightly under the starlight, walked toward Xie Mingchi, smiling. Wan Wuqiu: "I've been playing with you for so long, shouldn't there be a reward?" Xie Mingchi: "How about I return a few ghost puppets for you to put to work?" Wan Wuqiu: "…Good. Time to go home."

My Respawn System

How do you kill someone that cannot be killed? That was the question everyone asked when the respawners mysteriously appeared throughout the whole world. These beings, the wickedest of villains and killers from among both humanity and beasts, cannot die. They instantly respawn in new bodies whenever they are killed. No one knows why and no survives long enough to find out why. Millions have perished at their hands while the rest of humanity now suffers from their severe oppression. Hitler’s Nazi Germany, Stalin’s Russian Red Army, the Ancient Japanese, the Vikings and many more are all powerful empires under control of their immortal rulers who have come to life from the past. Along with the help of the mysterious Creator who reportedly provides these respawners with powerful technological weapons, a new World War threatens to drive humanity dangerously close to extinction. Humanity begins to finally lose hope when a blue flash of lightning gives humanity a new lifeline. Another respawner had entered the world for the first time in years. Instead of becoming another fiend like his kind he has become a salvation for humanity. But would this be enough to save them?

DanMachi: Reincarnated Adventurer’s Journey

Kazuma isn't a chosen hero, nor does he possess a cheat system. He's just an ordinary guy, suddenly thrown into the world of Orario — for reasons even the gods can't explain. "This is not a story where every girl falls in love with the main character." "Perfect for readers tired of harem tropes." "Romance? Yes — but only with one woman." No harem. One love. Many scars.

Mushoku Tensei: Reincarnated as a Beast Race

After his death, Aoi Hiroto is reincarnated as a beast-like race, similar to Ghislaine's race, but with the memories of his past life intact. Now, torn between his animal instincts and human rationality, he tries to find his place in this new world. While Rudeus continues his journey, the protagonist forms new connections and learns more about this new world. Warnings: - The MC is like Rudeus, he doesn't know the world of Mushoku Tensei, for him, this is a new world with magic and swords, but he has seen other known animes. - MC is 3 years older than Rudeus, having been born in K404. - Rudeus will still exist in this timeline, but the chapters that will show his point of view will be very rare, unless he is interacting with the MC. -The confirmed members of the harem so far is only Ghislaine. I plan for this story to have around 500 chapters, maybe a little more or a little less than that. I do not own the cover image or any characters or references taken from the work Mushoku Tensei. English is not my first language, but I will try my best not to make mistakes.
