Yang Xiao turned off the TV, and the next second, a call came through, "Son, release the doctor now. There are police all around; you can't escape!" As if to prove the woman's words, the police sirens outside grew louder one after another, and there was also movement in the hallway. "It's fake, all fake. This is the Nightmare World. Otherwise, why would your call still come through after I cut the phone line?" Yang Xiao glared at the fallen phone line, his face twisted ferociously.

Crown Prince Yun Chi chose as his consort the youngest daughter of the Hua Family, Hua Yan, and the news shattered the hearts of countless ladies in the Capital City. It was said: the Crown Prince could write poetry at three, compose essays at seven, debate with the greatest scholars at ten, shoot arrows with precision at twelve, oversee the examinations of all scholars at fifteen, and was regent by the time he was sixteen. He reached the pinnacle in letters, the extreme in martial arts, his looks were world-shaking, and his presence unrivaled. Hua Yan felt as though a gigantic pie had fallen from the sky, landing squarely on her head. From then on, was she to compete with the entire world for this man? -------------------- Yun Chi: Standing at the pinnacle of the Azure Clouds, he learned the art of balance, practiced the strategies of an emperor, envisioned the land and skies in his heart. Within the nine-layered royal palace, he could turn his hands to clouds and his palms to rain, holding sway over the court and the nation, trimming himself into a figure free from desire and henceforth unyielding. Hua Yan: She viewed herself as beneath the dust, with all her emotions and desires, disliking the Son of Heaven's court, preferring the ordinary alleys, treading on ten feet of soft red and experiencing all facets of life. She believed that nothing was better than green mountains and clear waters. "If you promise me a lifetime, I will accompany you for an eternity."

After retiring from the National Team, Qi Yue devoted herself to the study of agriculture. At a certain gathering, someone instigated a challenge, proposing that whoever lost at the shooting game would have to be kissed by Qi Yue. Seeing Qi Yue in the test fields, carrying a hoe, covered in mud and planting potatoes without any care for her appearance, turned everyone’s faces green with unease. Everyone scrambled to aim for the bullseye, terrified of being penalized. The final result was that the male god of University A, Gu Huai, raised his hand and shot a zero. The second time they met, Gu Huai was being maliciously provoked and overwhelmed at the Fencing Gym. Qi Yue couldn't stand by and was compelled to intervene. The third time they met, Gu Huai was homeless on the streets. Qi Yue spent all her living expenses for three months to help him. Years later. Qi Yue looked at the world shooting records certificate, the fencing championship trophy, and the dozen or so real estate certificates, all bearing Gu Huai's name, and fell into deep thought: "......"

Lionel always believed his life was ordinary—until he started seeing ghosts. What was once an ordinary existence turns into a nightmare as spirits haunt his every waking moment, some begging for help, others seeking to drag him into the abyss. Determined to keep a low profile, he hones his strange ability to exorcise spirits, quietly making a living as an underground ghost hunter. But fate has other plans. During the town festival, a rampaging spirit wreaks havoc, and Lionel, in a moment of desperation, exorcises it before a massive crowd. Overnight, he becomes a hero and a freak. Just as things couldn’t get worse, Lionel receives a mysterious letter, inviting him to the Etiril Academy, a hidden institution for those who wield power beyond the mortal plane. Here, everyone is a ‘normal’ cultivator, except Lionel. Worse, the spirits he exorcises don’t simply vanish; they whisper to him, leave traces behind, and change him in ways even he doesn’t understand. Now, hunted by cultists, distrusted by his peers, and drawn into a centuries-old conspiracy, Lionel must uncover the truth behind his power before it consumes him. Because the ghosts aren’t just haunting him anymore. They’re waiting for him.

“Who is the football GOAT?” A question that has been asked countless times in the last decade. Is it Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? To be fair, the question actually depended on what one wanted from a player as they were two different people and they played differently from the other. This was also the case with every other legendary player to grace the game. As a diehard fan of the game, Jason Bolu also had someone he thought to be the goat, but unlike most people, he harbored the desire to not only become as great as them, but even greater than any legend that ever graced the game. He wanted to become the Greatest Of All Legends… the GOAL. Unfortunately, fate has never cared about people’s hopes and dreams, and just like every other unfortunate human, she hit him hard across the face with a broken reality and sent him flying in another direction from his goal, yet he didn’t give up and continually persevered but, in the end, he didn’t ever make it. He wasn’t even halfway near his goal. He thought it was over… but it wasn’t. He got another chance at his dreams, and this time he was going to do more than his best to achieve his dream. *disclaimer* There is no system or cheats, just plain hard work and a past life of experience.. Also, despite the use of real-life characters, places and things, this is an artistic creation in which things wouldn't be as they are in real life so don't be surprised at some things that are unrealistic and out of place e.g. exact details, attitude of characters etc. This is a slow-paced novel.

"Players? NPCs?" What happens when a game stops being a game? Lionel never imagined that playing a VR game would become the most dangerous decision of his life. On his third login, he was presented with a choice he couldn’t refuse: [Do you want to recreate your character?] [YES OR YES] What started as a routine adventure spiraled into a waking nightmare. Trapped in the game world, Lionel found himself transformed into a vampire—not just any vampire, but a crippled, powerless blood slave, nothing more than prey in a brutal world designed for hunters. Survival seemed impossible. But Lionel wasn’t like the others. Somewhere between player and NPC, he became an anomaly—a glitch in the system. His existence defied the rules of the game, making him something entirely unique. When all hope seemed lost, Lionel awakened a hidden, game-breaking ability: SSS-ranked Blood Affinity—a power so rare it had only been seen twice in recorded history. Armed with the Crimson Bloodline, a legacy of forbidden and mysterious abilities, Lionel begins to rewrite his fate, discovering he can bend the very rules of the world around him. But his newfound power doesn’t come without cost. Now, Lionel is caught in a deadly balance between two worlds, hunted by players and NPCs alike. In this game-turned-reality, survival isn’t enough. He has to grow stronger and find his right place.

It pays to look like the undead, when the paranoid emperor holds all first born nobles hostage in the Royal Academy. Particularly when the promiscuous crown prince treats the place as his own personal harem. That's why the infamous royal recluse, Lord Patric Siccus, doesn't mind that he looks like a dehydrated goblin, or that his eyes bulge out when he's too excited, and how his mouth fills up the rest of his face when he tries to smile. He went there for the library, after all. ___________________ !!! DISCLAIMER !!! This novel is a work of fiction.

But fate had different plans. In his final mission, he sacrificed himself to save his team, his life slipping away with his dreams of peace unfulfilled. Then, the impossible happened.
