Forty Winks Mattress

Jason Adams died forty years after the world changed. He didn't awaken powers but survived while crawling in the mud, hiding from monsters and awakeners alike—those who don't have power become the slaves of those who do have powers. But at the end of his life, he was blessed with a do-over, able to go back in time five years before the world changed to build a harem that would be fanatically loyal to him—the Fluid system- binding women to him in return for making them Awaken and become stronger. Be warned, it's an R-18 smut harem with a lot of lemons.

The seasoned player of "Abyss of Stars," the [Starfall Master] Li Zi, brings a system template and travels to the game's world, arriving in the era of the game's beta version. This is the worst of times. The cosmic forces and conglomerates collude, causing the doors to the universe to be closed, the planet's resources to be exhausted, and even sunlight to be monopolized.

The Dungeon. A harsh world where death is a constant companion. Powerful monsters roam freely, and every element—terrain, flora, and environment—conspires to eliminate intruders. The moment you step inside, there are no guarantees for your life. Many lose their sanity before their bodies give out, and even if they manage to survive, only a rare few escape unscathed. —At least, that’s how it’s supposed to be. "Alright, let's have another fun day of solo camping!" Deep within the uncharted depths of an S-Rank Dungeon, a man casually streams his solo camping adventures. The man’s name is Shahzad. *** - "Wait, hold on. Did he just say he cleared forty floors of an S-Rank Dungeon? That’s a world first, isn’t it?" - "He just casually drops groundbreaking information like it’s nothing. This is why I can’t stop watching his streams!" - "Why does he never look at the comments? He always just streams one-sidedly!" - "Wait, did he just hunt a Three-Head? By himself? That’s the kind of monster even A-Rank parties immediately retreat from!" - "What even is this guy?" *** Every time Shahzad streams, the entire world is thrown into chaos. Yet, for some reason, the man himself seems blissfully unaware. Just who is he, really? [A/N: Also publishing in royalroad.com by the same context!]

When there were strange signs in the sky, there must be demons lurking. Li Mo, who had studied antiques since he was young, had a strange change in his eyes after being struck by lightning. With a pair of divine eyes, he gained the ability to see through things and sense objects. He bought a gourd bottle for 500 yuan at a flea market and sold it for 230,000 yuan. A painting he casually bought turned out to be a genuine work by Xu Beihong, worth thirty to forty million yuan. The black double-eared bottle that came with the purchase of a set of gold jewelry turned out to be a genuine possession of the Ming imperial family. Ancient bronze ware, exquisitely crafted porcelain, calligraphy and painting with bold and vigorous strokes, and thrilling gambling stones came one after another. From then on, Li Mo's life underwent a revolutionary change. "I have divine eyes, and there are no treasures in the world that can escape my sight."

Son of a bitch! I just finished this godawful fantasy novel, and now I'm knee-deep in it – as David, the disgraced son of the Solarian Empire's top general! Talk about some twisted cosmic joke. But hold on a damn minute... maybe this isn't all bad. Armed with the knowledge of that trashy plot, I can become the ultimate shadow player, an overlord perhaps. Screw the damsel-in-distress harem too – it's time to pull the strings and become the real power behind the throne. This isekai might be a steaming pile, but I'm rewriting the ending with a little more... Debauchery (wink wink).

A young Khan wakes up from a strange dream, a dream where he wore an armor of gold, ivory, and silk. Yet he lays on a mattress of some sort, wearing nothing but tattered rags. It was a dream, right? But it felt so real, the pain of metal piercing his neck, the impact of his dying body on the sandy floors of a world where the sky was a diminishing shade of turquoise, splotched with the occasional light, like a daunting prison cell. What an odd dream that was. (All content in this story is attributed to Deepwoken.)

Vanitas Estroheim, a frail and struggling F-rank hunter, is the weakest of the weak. Mocked by peers and barely scraping by, he fights only to pay off crushing hospital bills for his comatose mother. His life is a constant cycle of humiliation and desperation, with no hope for improvement. When Vanitas joins a raid on a C-rank dungeon far beyond his abilities, disaster strikes.

Trapped inside with no way out, Vanitas and his team face a terrifying creature that wipes them out one by one. On the verge of death, a mysterious voice speaks to Vanitas: “Do you wish to live?” With nothing to lose, he accepts—and awakens to a new power that could change everything.

A spark that ignited a passion so fierce, it threatened to incinerate them both. Shante Jarret,a siren of seduction,had built a fotress around her heart. But Madden,a maestro of control had a way of dismantling her defenses. With each whispered promises,he chipped away at her armor, exposing the vulnerable soul beneath. Madden Banks,a billionaire with a taste of darkness,had grown accustomed to shadows. But Shante,a female fatale with a kiss that could kill, awakened a hunger within him. A hunger that drove him to crave her touch,her taste,her very essence. As they navigated the treacherous landscapes of their desires,they found themselves bound by an unbreakable thread. A thread woven from the fabric of their own darkness,yet illuminated by the light they discover in eachother.

Madden's gaze narrowed, his eyes lingering on her face before responding, "Te, as in Tea?" Shante's smile faltered for a moment, her anger simmering just below the surface. But she quickly regained her composure, her voice taking on a husky tone. "No, as in Teeeeee... Short for Shante." Madden's expression remained impassive, his voice curt. "Madden." He turned his attention back to Tyra, dismissing Shante altogether. "I'll be on my way now sissy." He smiled softly. Tyra was about to whine but Shante did the whining instead. "C'mon, it's not so gentlemanly to go without at least taking us on a date." Madden's gaze was fixed on Tyra like she was the only one there and no one said a word. "Later,sis." He winked at Tyra. "What the f..." She scoffed,her eyes flashed with anger, her face burning with indignation,she had never been ignored all her life. That bloody bastard, it's not his fault,not his fau... === "Madd..." Shante hollered as she stormed into his glistening study,her eyes blazing with fury. Madden looked up from his desk, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes and a sarcastic smile on his lips. "...are you fucking running mad,how dare you change my project to cartoon,you have any idea how many nights that took me?" She spat angrily. "Leave my fucking space,get the hell outta my house and I won't be able to irritate you again." He spoke nonchalantly. Shante's anger boiled over, her palms slapping against his desk. "You can ask well bring it on, cause I'm not leaving even if it's burning to ashes..." *** In the twisted game of cat and mouse, they're both predator and prey. Each move calculated,each kiss a gamble. But as the stakes grew higher,they realize that the greatest danger isn't the secret they kept,but the love they couldn't deny.

（Don't pay too much attention to the introduction. This is not an anti-intellectual or routine article. I will try my best to update at least one article every day, and usually maintain two updates a day.） A meteor streaked across the night sky from the depths of space, hurtling toward Earth. No explosion. No destruction. The next day, humanity awakened to supernatural abilities! Some could control fire, some could command storms, and some even woke up to find they could fly… Of course, some also awakened to more "unique" powers—like flipping tables with a single slap (yes, that’s you, Fatty). "Hmm… So your ability is… being as hard as iron?" "Yeah, I can’t die, but I also can’t hit back!" "Congratulations, you’ve successfully awakened into a living jade statue!" — Good news: I have an insanely powerful defense. Blades can’t cut me, bullets can’t pierce me, even lightning strikes do nothing—basically, I’m a walking shield. — Bad news: My attack power is literally zero. I’m basically an indestructible punching bag. And my best friend, Lin Yi? His ability is even more ridiculous. "Wait, you’re telling me you can travel briefly into the future?" "Yes! I just went forty years ahead… and the entire world was destroyed!" "…What?" "Oh, and by the way, you became the world’s strongest superhuman… AND YOU GOT NUKED TO DEATH!!!" "WHAT?!" From that moment on, my life completely spiraled out of control— I just wanted to be a normal guy, but… "Great God! Please guide us to the future!" "Hold up! I’m just a ridiculously hard-to-kill nobody!" "Western Corporate Federation: This man must be captured! He is the ultimate war weapon!" "Wait, you guys got the wrong person!!!" "Extraterrestrial Civilization: This being might be a divine entity! We must welcome him!" "A GOD?! No, no, no! Just let me go home!!!" I just wanted to live a quiet life… WHY IS EVERYONE KNEELING AND CALLING ME A GOD?!!!

“An unrequited love that spans across innumerable lifetimes… This time, would it be a hit, or a miss?” In her first lifetime, she was a cold-blooded assassin with thousands of vengeful blades chasing her down while in her second lifetime, she became of a human panacea destined to be sacrificed for the royal family. Finally, in her third lifetime, she transmigrated into the body of an ordinary village girl and that was all that she could ever wish for! An ordinary life! All she had to do was to somehow raise her sickly brother back to health and earn some money, and her life would be perfect! That… was what the naive Nie Ling had initially thought until one day, she was met with the familiar foul face of a certain someone. This past-life’s-rotten-peach-blossom of hers, why is he here?!!! In her first lifetime, the man hold her hand and solemnly promised her. “Wait for me, I will save you!” In her second lifetime, the man pulled her arm and vowed to her with sincere eyes. “Whatever it is that you want, I will give you! Even myself!” In her third lifetime, the man not only flattened her crops, broke her door, and offended her little brother to the point of puking blood. He had also got the audacity to point at her and proclaimed. “From now on, I will be detaining you!” The flabbergasted Nie Ling: “For what?” The shameless black-bellied man: “To be my wife!” *wink A second later, another dashing youngster came in between the two, saying with a pitiful face. "Wifey, I don't agree with this polyamorous relationship." Another cute young male quickly chimed after him. “Sis, all men are beasts! Only I, the world’s most obedient little brother, is worthy of your love!” === Updating everyday :) If you like the story, don’t forget to vote, comment, rate, and add us to your library!

It’s 2068, and the world is broken. Forty-three years ago, a virus called A-21 swept through, killing half the human race. The world came together to fight it, creating a vaccine that wiped it out. But here's the catch—some of us survived... with powers. Sounds amazing, right? Too bad the world sees us as monsters. After World War 3, four zones were born: Zone 69 (US), Zone 77 (Russia), Zone 88 (China), and Zone 99 (Africa), ruled by powerful families. Peace lasted only a moment before the hunt began. The "Awakened"—that's us—are feared, hunted, and locked out. They built walls to separate us, but we could tear them down if we wanted. We’re not the enemy. But they’ll never see that. And as long as they keep us trapped, we’ll keep fighting.

In a world devastated by chaos, young Alex awaited his 10th birthday, hoping for a simple blessing. Instead, he found himself before familiar statues of gods from his past life. Drawn to Apollo, the god of the sun, Alex chose to bind with him, gaining immense power and a heavy burden. His journey began with Alexius, a talking cat who was more of a nuisance than a guide. “If I told you everything, where’s the fun in that?” Alexius would purr, clearly enjoying Alex’s frustration. Then came Hermes, the trickster god who saw Alex as his personal plaything. “Consider it divine seasoning,” Hermes would say, grinning as he led Alex into absurd situations. “Why do I feel like a toy in your cosmic playroom?” Alex would ask, to which Hermes would only wink and reply, “Toys don’t complain as much.” Aion, though seemingly fatherly, couldn’t resist his share of riddles. “You remind me of my younger self,” he’d say warmly. “Just don’t forget to have fun—life’s a marathon, not a sprint.” Alex often wondered if everyone in the divine realm spoke in riddles, earning chuckles from Aion. Despite their antics, other gods showed unexpected kindness, guiding Alex through his trials. With Apollo’s power came visions of past, present, and future, setting him apart. Though he appeared calm and distant, his companions saw the sadness in his eyes, wishing he would open up. Alex harbored a simple wish—one the gods repeatedly ignored: a normal life.

"I don't know something is odd about how she died. Her neck wasn't broken but it appears to be crushed. On the side of her neck, I saw two round holes resembling to look like fangs or some sorta sharp pointed teeth." I finally just told him. He first looked at me weirdly before bursting out into laughter. "Fangs like a vampire?" He teased and I should've seen this coming. I burst into a hard enough uproar to pee myself. "You are so mean!" I chuckled. "Alright, I'll be nice to my vampire nerd," he said winking at me. "You haven't found anybody else that lived in the city?" He asked just wondering.

Aurora is a seer and a powerful witch who has yet to aknowledge her powers, only Artemis knows of it. Lucian Mithandir is in exile recruiting an army to fight Prince Castellan of house Taelin for the throne of Prophis. Artemis wants no parts of this war, but he is very aware whoever wins the war will later turn to Maldonia. Artemis has no clue that a bigger war is coming which will set out kingdoms on fire, Aurora has seen it in her dreams and it's for the Sweet Waters Throne in Maldonia. The end is uncertain but the ways are clearer, who will sit on the throne after the war to end all wars. The Bastard who's been denied his true claim to the Sweet Waters throne with the mighties fleet in the world and King Artemis of Maldonia who has Aurora and dragons breathing fire. ~ Excerpt Scene ~ "Are you ready? A dragon is not a horse my love" Aurora expressed her concerns. "The dragons are ready to be claimed, Your Grace. I think it’s the perfect time for Artodo to take the skies and be claimed. He and the King have great relationship. He just needs to understand the words that’s all. "Torgo explained while looking at both Aurora and Artemis. "I understand the words." Said Artemis. "Incendio for fire and Valar for him to fly. I know some Low Moor too." It seemed Aurora wasn’t easily convinced, "Knowing the language of our ancestors doesn’t mean you can hang on to the dragon and take to the skies, especially since you are not just practicing. You are taking the dragon to the Mines, in clear daylight." "Exactly, that is the only way we can silence Lord Leoric. I cannot let him take advantage of my sister, I have to try…" Visera interrupted. "He’s ready, I can see it in his eyes." She said with a smirk. Aurora ordered Torgo. "Bring him outside," in Low Moor. Torgo nodded and walked inside the darkened cave with a fire torch. All five dragons were inside the cave perfectly chained. He went after Artodo, the biggest of them all. The black beast, standing at forty feet from head to tail with a wingspan of twenty feet. A terrifying beast to even stare at. Artemis took two deep breaths. "According to my ancestors history, the youngest dragon rider to ever took the skies was ten years old. You’ll be fine." Aurora teased Artemis after she noticed how nervous he was. The dragon keepers placed a saddle on Artodo’s back and two strong handles made of iron and wood for Artemis to hang on to. Then, finally Aurora walked to Artodo — the black beast. She pulled in Artemis and they both touched the dragon’s right eye, soothing him before the take off. "This is your rider now Artodo, you are to obey him from this day forward to the last, as your mother commands." Aurora said this is Low Moor while the dragon hissed slowly. The dragon hissed and Aurora took it a sign that Artodo understood him. She took a step back and let Artemis take over. These two weren’t strangers to one another. Artemis’s touch wasn’t strange to Artodo and he silently lowered his left wingspan for Artemis to climb up. Carefully and slowly, Artemis mounted the black beast. It was no secret that he was scared. When he was on top of the dragon, Artemis smiled looking down and he suddenly exclaimed. "You all look like tiny bees from up here!" Aurora, Visera, Torgo and the dragon keepers laughed. Aurora walked to him and they looked at each other. Their dream finally came true; "Promise me, you’ll come back alive." Said Aurora. "I promise." "And that you will not burn the Mines to the ground. If she disagrees with you, perhaps it’s time to let her go." This was what Artemis truly needed to hear so he may stop his obsession with saving his sister. When he was ready, he shouted to Artodo. "Valar Artodo," and right there the dragon’s feet pounded the ground heavy as it prepared for takeoff.
