Instant Pub

My name is Shay. Just Shay. Every morning at five, I kick off my day like anyone else—cereal, eggs, or toast. Then comes the routine brushing session where I make it a point to avoid eye contact with the damn bogey in the mirror. Typical, right? I’ve got a roommate—a werewolf. We’re best friends and classmates, tackling school like it’s any normal day. After classes, I head to my job as a bartender at a nearby pub. It’s a cozy spot, where apart from your regular humans, other creatures also get together for a drink. Yep, vampires and shapeshifters have their pint nights too. Aside from these quirks, my life was relatively normal — until everything turned upside down.

The peace of the night shattered, the Fifth King is gearing up for war—or maybe world domination—and somewhere along the way, logic took a vacation. Now, here I am, smack in the middle of this glorious mess, trying to figure out how I went from a normal guy to being tangled in what feels like the prelude to a world-ending saga.

Xi Nan had loved Cheng Yi for ten years. After graduating from college, she confessed her feelings but faced rejection. Eventually, one went abroad and the other ventured into the entertainment industry. Five years later, Xi Nan became a highly sought-after celebrity in the entertainment circle, and Cheng Yi rose to be the youngest head of the Cheng family, known as a business genius by the media. An arranged marriage contract reconnected them once again. Rumors had always spoken of Cheng Yi, the CEO of Yi Feng Group, as decisive and aloof, a unique figure with almost no romantic scandals, yet he attracted countless admirers. However, the latest news drove all the high-society ladies in Jing City mad. Reports claimed that Cheng Yi was secretly married and had even commissioned a famous international jewelry designer for a priceless engagement ring. One day, as Xi Nan was watching television at home, Cheng Yi called her, asking her to retrieve a document from his study. Finding the document on the desk was easy for Xi Nan. But at the same moment, she discovered Cheng Yi’s secret—a small black box inside a cabinet. It contained a diamond ring, easily seven to eight carats, fittingly described as a 'pigeon's egg'. Xi Nan tried the ring on, and it fit perfectly. In that instant, something deep within seemed to blossom, her eyes swirling with a layer of subtle surprise and bewilderment.

Ethan Weils had never been anything. He was a college dropout-turned-convenience store clerk who was perfectly happy with his uneventful existence. Bills to pay? Sure. Dreams to chase? Not really. His friends usually called him a slacker, but he liked the term "minimalist." His life finally came to an abrupt and unwarranted end one extremely lazy night, slouched in his chair, with instant noodles in hand. A stray lightning strike, a wrong metal fork, and one bowl of instant ramen decided the uneventful ending of his life. When he awoke, it wasn't to pearly gates or fire and brimstone, but to a worn-out village that looked like it came straight out of those cultivation novels he skimmed through. Everything seemed so different, from the towering mountains to the glowing plants, to weirdly dressed people swinging swords around and riding on clouds. Then came the voice. [Congratulations, Host. You have been chosen to inherit the Lazy Prodigy System. Mission: construct a school. Reward: survival.] "What? A school?"; Ethan had jeered. "Do I look like some sort of teacher to you?" Then, the system's answer was ironic: [Fail, and your existence will be deleted.] And so, the weird life of Ethan started. With a system that seemed determined to make him a teacher, there was nothing he could do but follow. Little did he know, though, all the students he would later gather would change not just his life but the whole world.

Cliche. Another monster progression story. That was probably what you thought when you read the title of my story. And, I can't lie, for the most part, it probably is.

Such is the basis of a monster. Such is the right of any living being. So that's what I did. I ate, I killed and I hoarded anything I could get my big limbs on. Friendship, allies and love? There used to be a little god calling himself "Heaven's Equal" who spouted of such things, before I ate him. The world went pretty quiet after that. Follow my story. Read for yourself how I evolved from a little monster in a lake I thought was the ocean, all the way into the Titan Of Destruction. What To Expect: - A relatively quick progression story - Ruthless, I mean - Fang Yuag levels - of ruthless protagonist. - A system? that grows stronger along with the protagonist - Big Monsters Duking It Out, with minimal humans/beastmen/elves, etc. . .focus. Basically, monsterverse without annoying ass humans ruining the show. - Did I mention that the protagonist was pretty evil?

"In the spaces between ones and zeros, worlds are born and die at the whim of their creators. Each keystroke births new lands, each click shapes civilizations, and every careful adjustment weaves the fabric of reality itself. Time flows differently in these digital realms—centuries can pass in moments, while a single day might stretch across millennia. Within these spaces, creators are gods, architects of existence who breathe life into empty bytes, crafting histories that span eons and cultures that echo through carefully constructed time.

What began as an escape had become a prison, each of its 67,934 item files a weight upon her shoulders, every revision another chain binding her to this digital realm. Yet as she prepared to end it all, an unexpected option presented itself, one that would blur the line between creator and creation in ways she never imagined.
