In the year 2110, lucid dreaming isn’t just an escape—it’s power. The world has changed since the discovery that dreams can shape reality, leading to the fall of governments and the rise of three factions, each with their own agenda. Orion, a student at Zenith Academy, thought his dreams were nothing more than restless nights—until he wakes up with wounds that shouldn’t exist. As strange visions persist and a mysterious old woman warns him of what’s to come, he finds himself drawn deeper into a hidden war fought beyond the limits of the waking world. With his friends by his side—Neil, the tech genius; Rin, the conspiracy enthusiast; and Cassandra, obsessed with lucid dreaming—Orion begins to unlock abilities that defy logic. But power always comes at a price, and in a world where dreamers can alter reality, the difference between an ally and an enemy is as thin as the veil between sleep and wakefulness. When a faction finally takes notice of him, Orion must decide: will he embrace the lucid world, or lose himself in it forever?

Jian Xuan, born without the Celestial Star, has been forsaken by both the gods and fate itself. Rejected by his family, abandoned by the world, and scorned by those he once trusted, Jian Xuan becomes a wandering cultivator in search of a purpose beyond survival. He dreams of one thing: revenge. When whispers of an ancient and hidden sect, the Forsaken Sect, reach his ears, Jian Xuan sees his chance for redemption. This secretive group is said to hold the power to challenge the very heavens and rewrite the laws of destiny itself—an offer too tempting to refuse. In his journey to find the Forsaken Sect, Jian Xuan faces countless trials, unravels the mysteries of the ancient temple known as the Forbidden Path, and encounters a figure who claims to be the last of the Forsaken. With this cryptic guide, Jian Xuan learns a shocking truth: to break Heaven’s Will, he must not only defy fate, but replace it. To become the master of destiny, he must first become its servant. However, his pursuit of power soon leads him down a dark path of moral dilemmas. With each choice, Jian Xuan must grapple with the consequences of his actions, torn between personal vengeance and the weight of his growing power. As the line between ally and enemy blurs, he realizes that even those who stand by him may have their own agendas, and some betrayals may be inevitable. In a world where gods play with the lives of mortals and fate is a cruel puppet master, Jian Xuan will have to decide whether to destroy the very system that forsook him or embrace it and become the ruler of all. The question remains: Can one truly change their destiny, or is the price of defying fate too great? The Forsaken Path is not one of easy answers, but one where power and sacrifice walk hand in hand.

Ardyn Vale is a man without a past, a thief who can steal memories with a single touch. He sells secrets to the highest bidder, erases sins for criminals, and ensures no one remembers his face. But when a job goes wrong, and he accidentally wipes the mind of King Aldric, he becomes the most wanted fugitive in the realm. With the kingdom on the brink of war, the ruthless Princess Evelyne vows to hunt him down, believing he holds the key to her father’s lost mind. But Ardyn soon discovers a deeper mystery—someone has stolen his own memories. The more he searches for answers, the more he realizes that he is not just a thief, but a pawn in a far greater game. Ancient forces stir, forgotten truths emerge, and Ardyn is faced with a terrifying possibility: if he uncovers his past, he may wish he had forgotten it forever. ---

When you have felt the warmth of a mothers protective embrace. Along with living in a safe haven carved by your father's blood, sweat, and tears. Having those safe feelings torn away from you can cause one's will to crumble. The world starts to look more cruel, people start appear more scary, and chasing the mindless flicker of light becomes impossible. Once a safe feeling is ripped away only darkness is left. What would you do if you were presented with the same love and care in a world ridden with war. Where life is but a mere string that could break at any moment; where danger lurks in the places you least expect it to. What would you do to keep your loved ones safe and happy? Would you lay low and keep yourself hidden from the world and count your limited days—even though people would call you a coward and selfish? Or would you confront the dangers and be their protective shield—even though doing so would endanger your own life—and people would call you reckless? To be honest, there is no definite answer to these questions. Sometimes, you just have to go with the flow and shut down your brain to listen to your heart. In this world where war is everywhere, and peace is nothing but a fleeting dream. ––– Let's build a world with our imagination where our dreams can be realised!

On his phone, a contact message appeared informing him that an editor had agreed to assist him with his manuscript. Unfortunately, he was murdered in his own house seven days right after his agreement with the "editor." However, before he could even enter the afterlife, he encountered the "editor" who had accepted his novel when he was still alive—and it turned out to be a God! The God informed him, "YOU will be the addition to your insipid novel." Sadly, he learned the reason for the God's refusal to accept payment in the form of money.....because the God preferred to get it in the form of his own life. {A/N: Sorry if there will be any grammatical errors in this novel, my native tongue is not english.

Hm... Fantasy battle, smart MC, smart heroins, supper plot twist...etc... are all things that... this novel doesn't have. This place only has... Stupid MC, Normal heroins, normal plot, slice of life and... some sh*t thing. I just want to write what I want no matter how bad it is. ( ' 3') --------------- After going bankrupt, with nothing left in his hands, Lathel died at the age of 50. After his death, a god offered him a chance to go to another world and help the male protagonists. His mission was to solve the problems surrounding the heroines so that the male protagonists could easily get along with them. To be more precise, his job was similar to that of a chef. He would Process the ingredients and cook a sumptuous feast, while the male protagonists just needed to sit at the table and enjoy it. After completing his mission, he was threatened by a stranger. In the face of this threat Lathel just smiled and decided to commit suicide. After he died, those heroines also dropped their facade and revealed their true nature. Lathel once again met the god who helped him. This time, the god allowed him to choose the world he wanted to go to as a gift for completing his task. He then chose a Fantasy world, a place most men dreamt of. However, the Fantasy world had too many people to choose from, moreover the number of main character and antagonist slots were all full. In the end, Lathel accepted to take on the role of an extremely weak supporting character to go to the Fantasy world. However, this time he didn't need to work or help the main character. He just needed to not affect the main character's development. Lathel: “Hm... as long as it doesn't affect the main character... then... Can I make a harem?” God: “Of course.” Lathel: “Hm... so... I just need to avoid the main character's woman.” God: “That's right. You just need to try to survive in that world. Ah! I will give you a system that will help you have a good life in that world. I Hope you enjoy this new life.” Lathel: “Um! So my harem will consist of lackluster women, it seems like a peaceful life is waiting for me.” God: “Hm... not really...” *** See the character's pic here: https://twitter.com/HikaruKiki1111

On a certain train sat a certain boy, with average looks. He had his eyes closed as he dozed off while hugging his bag. Earphones were plugged into his ears, silently listening to the music. Just then, the heavy bass music he was listening to suddenly became heavenly zither music that contained the truths of the Heavenly Dao. The boy’s heartbeat followed the loose rhythm of the heavenly tune for a straight minute before having been jolted awake. When the boy's eyelids fluttered open, it was as if the people on the train heard angels weeping and devils laughing. The Heavens shook in fear whereas the Underworld rumbled with joy. As for this boy’s origin, not even the gods & devils dare find out. _____________________________________ Disclaimers: - Ai pic till I can afford to commission an artist. - This is the 2nd continuation of my Magic Martial World series. - It's paused until I finish my diploma this June 2024. _____________________________________ Discord: https://discord.gg/R7nmUAqm
