—Kat, tienes una cola —dijo Lily. —Mira, Lily, realmente no es algo de lo que preocuparse —dijo Kat. —Tienes.UNA.COLA KAT —dijo Lily—. ¿Cómo es que esto no te preocupa? —Bueno, el sueño que tuve también fue algo raro, pero si soy honesta, lo que más me preocupa es el texto flotante que está en llamas —dijo Kat. —¿El QUÉ? —dijo Lily. --------------------------------------------------- Únete a Kat en sus aventuras saltando dimensiones mientras cumple su deber demoníaco y responde al llamado del invocador.

Tan Rou only learned that she wasn’t the Tan family’s daughter when she was seventeen years old. She went from being a rich young lady to living in the slums. The parents she adored belonged to someone else, and this series of knockdowns was hard for a seventeen-year-old girl to accept. She wailed like a child for the sake of proving this was all a lie. The vicious words she spouted had hurt her biological family but she didn’t notice. She thought the Tan family was her real family despite them seeing her as an eyesore, and was even naive enough to want to befriend the Tan family’s real daughter, Tan Jing. Alas, the latter drugged her drink and arrange for a thug to rape her. Tan Jing even brought their classmates along to catch them in the act so Tan Rou was now tainted for life. After being reborn, she looked down at the man she was stepping on. Tan Rou swore not to be a useless wretch in this life or be bullied to death. She would stomp on those who wronged her and make it up to her real family. They wouldn’t have had to die tragically on the streets in the past life had it not been for her. Tan Rou turned completely evil after crawling back out of Hell. Everyone claimed that the real young lady was educated and talented, while the fake young lady was arrogant and incompetent. Tan Rou scoffed upon hearing this. She held back her brother from trying to stand up for her. “We have all the time in the world. Let’s just wait and see.” Just as everyone was waiting for Tan Rou to make a fool of herself… A top-class perfumer, a top scholar, a world champion… The fake young lady’s multiple identities kept getting exposed one after another, bumping her up to number one on the trending search, shocking the world. Wait, where was the promised humiliation?

We were a peaceful people living in harmony with nature in the vast lands of Lyréanor, but this peace was short-lived when our people were defeated by the dark elves, an ancient people even older than this world. It is said that they arrived in Lyréanor by boat and since their arrival, chaos has been unleashed. Proud of their obscure power, derived from dark rituals, they have raised gigantic armies of monsters whose name is synonymous with terror: ‘Obscurus’. They went on the rampage, and everywhere they went the grass didn't grow back, life died and disintegrated. Seven, there were seven. The seven dark elves known as the Lords of the Apocalypse. A single gesture from them was enough to strike us all down, a single gesture from one of them was enough to decimate us in blood and terror. And as I, Foster, contemplate the macabre scene before me, the bloodied and deformed bodies of my fellow elfes beings, and as death grips my soul, a strange sign appeared before me. [Ding...

EPISODES PUBLISHED SCHEDULE: [FRI- 1 CHAPTER SAT = 1CHAPTER SUN = 1 CHAPTER] { TIME ⏰: 10:00 PM / 10 : 30 PM} =============================== Synopsis: In a world where parasitic lifeforms infiltrate human society, a young woman named Seo Ji-Hyun becomes an unwilling host to a mysterious red-eyed parasite. Unlike the other parasites, which seek to take over their host's body and mind, "Red" forms an unusual symbiotic relationship with Ji-Hyun, preserving her consciousness while enhancing her physical abilities. As the government and secret organizations hunt down infected individuals, Ji-Hyun is caught between her survival instincts and the moral dilemmas of harboring a parasite. But Red isn’t just any parasite—its origins trace back to a long-forgotten experiment, and its connection to Ji-Hyun runs deeper than she realizes. As brutal killings increase and more hosts lose their humanity, Ji-Hyun and Red must navigate a treacherous world where trust is fleeting, the enemy is unseen, and survival comes at a deadly cost. But when Ji-Hyun starts seeing hallucinations of a past she doesn't remember, she begins to question—Is she still human, or was she never one to begin with?

However, he soon realizes that none of these threats exist. He is the only living thing in this barren, forbidden land. But Merin refuses to remain rooted in one place for eternity. He discovers a strange ability—his spirit can fragment and reincarnate into other worlds. Through countless lives, he gains new experiences, grows in power, and, in time, transforms the very land that once rejected all life.

[THIS IS NOT A FAN-FICTION] Blue Lock was meant to create Japan’s ultimate striker. It failed. The national team crumbled on the world stage, proving that one genius alone can’t carry a team. Japan doesn’t need a single star—it needs an entire generation of monsters. Thus, Project Red Cage is born. A ruthless underground training facility where 300 of Japan’s best young players are locked in a survival battle across every position—striker, midfielder, defender, and goalkeeper. Every match is war. Every loss means elimination. In the end, only 11 (+ substitutes) will survive and lead Japan’s football revolution. Asahi Rengoku was born to dominate. A physical beast with raw, untamed talent, Asahi should be unstoppable. But in a system built on tactics, intelligence, and control, his reckless style makes him a liability. Forced to adapt or be erased, he struggles to play within the rules—until, at his breaking point, his true ego awakens. Forget tactics. Forget structure. Asahi doesn’t need to change—he needs to take over.

Wes Carter is dying. A black sword pulses with corruption in his chest, his strength fading as blood seeps into the battlefield. He has no regrets—his people escaped, the war was fought, and he killed the man with void-black eyes. But it wasn’t enough. It never was. As darkness claims him, two figures appear—enigmatic, powerful, and knowing. And with cruel certainty, they reveal a truth that shatters everything Wes believed: His future was stolen. Wes remembered that day. The day, as a child, he met the man with void-black eyes. The man who stood before him, bathed in the blood of those Wes cherished. The man who could have killed him but didn’t. Instead, he burned Wes’s soul, severing something deep within him. That was the day everything changed. That was the day he became a Null. He should have been able to claim a Void Crystal, to rise like the others. Instead, he was cut off from that power, forced to forge his own way through Essence alone. And despite that, despite everything, he became peerless, a warrior standing at the edge of the Grand Stage—the universe beyond Earth’s wars. And then, all these years later, that same man returned. Not alone. This time, he led an army—not just soldiers, but Fallen, beings marked by corruption, their eyes the same void-black as his own. They descended upon Wes with overwhelming force, and though he fought, though he killed his greatest enemy, it still wasn’t enough. More questions than answers. Why had his future been stolen? Why had that man, all those years ago, chosen to cripple him instead of killing him? Now, as Wes breathes his last, the two figures offer him something impossible: A second chance. They will sever the future—a phrase Wes doesn’t yet understand—but before he can question it, they shove a black seed, dark as night, into his chest. And then—rebirth. No longer fighting for survival in a dying world, he enters a new era—one where humanity has rebuilt, where Void Crystals, Essence, and Mana-Tech shape civilization, and where the truth of the universe is within reach. Yet, the past is not erased. The man with void-black eyes may be dead, but the forces behind him still move. The answers he seeks are still out there. And this time, he will find them. Monsters. Rival races. Forgotten legends. The enemies lurking beyond the void. This time, Wes Carter will not be denied. His rise is inevitable. (NOTE READ AUXILLARY CHAPTER)

"Gordon! Why are you late? The awakening ceremony is right now!" Jessica said urgently when she saw Gordon come through the doors of the awakening center. Shrugging Gordon didn't say anything. The last thing in the world that he wanted to do was tell this beautiful girl that he had been tripped and beaten on the way to school today. It was times like this that he wished that he bruised more easily. Then maybe he could get some attention. But this thought was fleeting in his mind. Gordon actually preferred to deal with his problems in his own way. And awakening to become a beast tamer and maybe even have his own talent would be the first step. Once he had a powerful beast the bullies wouldn't dare pick on him. "Come on, let's get in line." Jessica whispered to Gordon when she realized that he wasn't going to tell her what had happened.

Jessica had been the only friend that stuck with him despite all of his quirks. Slowly the line inched forward.

[Note: This novel contains some sexual interaction scenes in upcoming chapters. Readers under 18 are advised to proceed with caution. A warning will be provided at the beginning of each chapter that includes such content.] Rave Arnet, just 18 years old, wakes up in a brutal world with nothing but his wits and a wild Skill Tree System. In this place, survival means hunting monsters, stealing their cores, and using them to grow stronger. He fights, levels up, and then fights again. A never-ending cycle, right? Wrong. Because Rave’s story isn’t about repeating the same thing over and over. No way. As the author, I promise his journey is way more than that. This system he’s got? It’s not just any ordinary skill tree. It’s universal, fantastical, and downright mind-blowing. He can create his own skills—anything he can imagine, he can make real, just like that. He can fuse skills together, upgrade them, or even share the knowledge with others. No need for years of training or practice. Every skill, every technique, every ounce of mastery just flows straight into his mind with a simple click—as long as he has the resources to do it. Sounds overpowered? Maybe. But don’t get too comfortable. This world doesn’t play fair. And yeah, there’s romance… Along his journey, Rave meets fierce and mysterious girls—warriors who fight like no one he’s ever seen before. Their beauty? Unreal. Not even angels could compare. But who—or what—are they? Humans? Maybe. Or… maybe they’re Elves… Demihumans… Catgirls. [Heh, don’t overthink it. Just wait and see.] But before you jump to conclusions, this isn’t some cliché harem story where the hero marries a bunch of girls just for the sake of it. No, Rave’s got bigger problems. He’s tangled up with more lovers than he could ever hope to handle. [Yeah, you get what I mean.]
