Omegaverse## Kaelith thought his life was over when his machine blinked its last light, his step-sister’s novel still in his hands. Dying while reading a love story: wasn’t that just cruel irony? He never even had the chance to experience love himself. But death wasn’t the end—it was a reset. When Kael opened his eyes, he wasn’t in a hospital or some afterlife. He was inside the world of very book he had just finished, a world ruled by Alphas, where Omegas were expected to submit, and vampires lurked in the shadows of power. And him? He was a nobody. A character that wasn’t meant to exist. But worse than that, he was an Omega, born into a prestigious Alpha family that saw his existence as a stain. Hidden from the world by a father who refused to acknowledge him, protected only by a mother’s desperate pleas. Yet, unlike the character in the novel who lived in quiet submission, Kael refused to let this new life be another cage. He wanted to live. To experience everything he never could. So he went to college. He went to parties. He kissed a stranger at a club. That was his first mistake. Because that stranger? Leonhardt. A ruthless Alpha who never cared for Omegas until Kael’s scent shattered his world. Then came Veyron. The Chaos Bringer. And lastly, Cauis. The sanctuary. A Beta who saw Kael for who he was, but loved him with conditions, and refused to let him go. Kael only wanted to have fun. To finally live. Instead, he found himself at the center of a dangerous game where love, obsession, and power blurred into one. And the scariest part? He didn’t know if he wanted to escape or to fall even deeper. — An Alpha. A Vampire. A Beta. Who would he choose? Would it be Leonhardt, the possessive Alpha who refuses to let him go? Veyron, the enigmatic vampire who tempts him with both danger and pleasure? Or Cauis, the only one who offers him a love with conditions? One heart. Three paths. Which one will he follow? ##Note that it's just the world of the book he entered, so the plot won't follow especially when they are two different characters. He's now a main character in this world, more like writing his own storyline.

[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] In a world where mythical beings have fallen into an "eternal slumber," a thriving underground market exploits the stolen essence of these dormant creatures. At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence. Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle. He bears the scars of past betrayals, having been deceived by those who feigned love to steal his treasures or claim his head as a bounty. Jaded and cold, he trusts no one, living a solitary existence. However, his solitude is shattered when a woman unwittingly stumbles into his life. Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit. As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything. In this tale of flames and gold, two scarred souls in a world where trust is a rare and precious commodity must confront the ghosts of their pasts. They navigate the dangerous currents of love and deception, protecting unborn dragons from a world hungry for their magic. Will their bond withstand the trials ahead, or will the flames of betrayal engulf them in the end? A/N: It starts out SLOW, because I tend to get lost in the pages and be descriptive but once it gets to the action, it really picks up! Looking forward to growing with you all on this journey!!!

Note: This is an original story written by TIGR4, not a translation of a novel. Just adding this line to avoid misunderstandings since the title sounds very Chinese... which is intentional. ================================ An avid Xianxia reader suddenly has his dream come true—he wakes up in a world of cultivation. The only problem? Maybe it wasn’t really his dream after all. Now, faced with the daunting reality of countless cultivation realms to climb, countless worlds to ascend through, and countless arrogant young masters to deal with, despair begins to settle in. Fortunately, a glimmer of hope appears amidst the chaos: a mysterious system that could change everything. Armed with elders, ancestors, and a sect leader—who are all actually his own avatars—he no longer feels completely overwhelmed. “At least I don't have to do it all alone… well, technically, I do. They're just avatars, after all.” ------------------------------------------------ Notes: - This story initially had a harem tag, as I wasn't sure whether that possibility might come up and decided to leave it open. However, as the plot has progressed, I now believe that such a scenario is highly unlikely, so I've removed the tag. Of course, I can’t predict the future — it’s possible the main character could enter a second relationship at some very distant point, but again, that seems extremely unlikely. So far, there hasn't been even a hint of a second relationship, and the current one makes it seem nearly impossible for that to happen. - The avatars are directly controlled by the MC, like multiple bodies sharing the same mind. - Despite the MC’s multiple bodies, only his main body will be involved in any romance. - As for the update schedule: I try to release chapters daily, occasionally taking one or two days off per week. Standard update time is around 12 AM (New York time), but this can vary. - If you enjoy the story, please consider leaving a review! And for those interested, you can support me on Patreon and read ahead.  Bye! ---------------------------------- Advanced Chapters on Patreon: patreon.com/TIGR4

In the world of Eltherra, power is everything—and power is measured by levels. From the moment a person awakens their class, they begin the sacred journey of leveling up: defeating monsters, completing quests, mastering skills, and earning divine favor. For most, it is the only path to survival, status, and meaning. But for Adam, an orphaned farm boy from a forgotten border village, that path shatters on the day he risks his life to save a dying girl from a monster he should never have survived. Instead of dying, Adam awakens a mysterious and forbidden power: the ability to create skills, override the system, and see the code beneath reality. The system calls him a Revenant Codemancer—a class that doesn’t exist. The gods call him a mistake. The empires see him as a threat. As Adam levels up, he begins to unravel the truth behind the system that governs the world. He discovers ancient secrets, forgotten gods, and corrupted empires built on lies. But leveling up is not enough. Not when the system itself is broken, not when the rules of reality can be bent—or rewritten. With unlikely allies at his side—a rogue with a haunted past, a paladin torn between duty and desire, and a half-demon bard who sings truths no one wants to hear—Adam embarks on an epic journey to reshape the world. Not just to rise through the levels… …but to transcend them. Because in a world ruled by gods, monsters, and leveling systems, Adam doesn’t just want to survive. He wants to rewrite the endgame.

I was bitter when I wrote my first novel. It became a bestseller in its genre, not because readers loved it but because they hated it. The story was about a guy who had every advantage known to man, but would still lose no matter what. I don't know why someone would read crap like that but many did, perhaps in hopes that it'll have a happy ending. Spoiler alert: It didn't. And someone killed me for it. I, who didn't know any better, thought that was it, and now I would go to the afterlife, most likely hell. Instead, I found myself in the body of my story's hero: A hero doomed to all hell. —————— Hey, DrAGOn here! Just wanted to say thank you for reading so far. I will be uploading daily; the chapter length is approximately 1.3k words, and it will grow in size over time. The first chapters, the first 10 or so, are somewhat of an information dump. Sorry about that, but I am not very experienced. It gets better after I swear!

Blair is heartbroken on discovering her husband and younger sister were secretly dating. She badly looked for a child in her marriage with her husband, and was hurt to discover her younger sister is pregnant for her husband. Unexpectedly, an apocalypse starts out in the midst of a confrontation, and Blair’s husband chose to save her younger sister over her, causing Blair to perish and die a painful death in the hands of the monsters. Fortunately, Blair is reborn in one of her favorite apocalypse stories, weeks before the apocalypse hits— not as the kind female lead who gets doted on and sought after by the four male leads of the story, but as the jealous villainess whose end goal is to kill the female lead and make the male leads fall for her instead. However, Blair soon discovers that her younger sister and husband were also reborn into this same story, and they also retained their memories! Her sister is reborn as the female lead of this story, and her cheating husband, as one of the men in the story. Unlike those two who still had the same face from their past life, Blair now has the appearance of the villainess, giving her the upper hand and a perfect opportunity to avenge herself! Sadly, she is forced to halt her revenge plans and stock up for the upcoming apocalypse instead, since causing the female lead harm means she’ll meet the same painful end as the villainess met in the story. What’s Blair to do? To avoid that unfortunate end, she kisses her perfect revenge goodbye and focuses on stocking up, cause she wasn’t interested in being a villianess anyway or chasing after four men who were shallow and arrogant! The villainess’ reputation in the story is ruined, and everyone avoids her. But Blair is determined to repair it in the short period left, and help her new family survive in the upcoming apocalypse. However, her sudden changed personality shocked everyone, especially the male leads, who believed she had an ulterior motive, so now they wouldn’t leave her alone or stop pestering her!

And Kael? He just wants a break. But when the reflection starts talking back—and remembering things Kael never lived—he realizes he might not be who he thought he was. Or even what.
