Push Pull Stick

Sometimes you just draw the short end of the stick. Di Tou just happens to have drawn the shortest stick. Pulled out of his life randomly. Taken by a crazy old eccentric man not as a disciple, but as a body double?! And a janitor body double no less?! Grasping a system to find... It's a JANITOR SYSTEM!? Truly, how unlucky can one get?

The immense creaking of something, terrible and divine... The blooming of the blue lotus... The iridescent shimmer of a clear sky... Mystical, auspicious dreams of beastly heavens... The vespertine light of a solar past... Pale blue irises flecked in light... And history turning, blistering, churning and changing shape. All that a mage wishes for is... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first web novel, please have some patience. I don’t know when exactly I’ll add chapters, though for now I think I’ll stick to 2 a week, usually 2k to 4k words each. Thanks for reading :)

Two worlds pulled together with by fate for each other

The boredom of mortals leads to simple consequences, but what chaos could the boredom of a powerful being unleash? When forces dare to tamper with destiny, disrupt order, and strip all beings of their fundamental rights, will they succeed? Or will the restless curiosity of one particular entity stand in their way? In the endless Void, a tower emerges—a monolithic structure said to grant unimaginable power to those bold enough to climb it. Each floor tests the strength, intellect, and resolve of those who enter, pushing them to their limits and beyond. "Tell me, mortals," speaks the enigmatic voice that echoes through the tower, "what role will you play in this grand festival of ambition?" As they ascend, the challengers must confront the price of their desires. Will they rise to greatness or succumb to the impossible trials ahead? And what of the entity watching from above—are they merely an observer, or the one pulling the strings? The tower calls. The festival begins. Dare to climb?

Corrin and Sachse are best friends, but they’re not supposed to be. Meanwhile, Ostara lives over the border and pushes through her daily life with a mask permanently etched on her face, hiding her insecurities. When she accidentally ends up on the wrong side while gathering plants, Corrin pulls her into his friend’s alley to hide, but only hours later, the Wizards have launched a war against the Witches for foul play, and all men in their twenties to sixties must be conscripted to war. Ostara, sick of dealing with the pressures that come with being a woman, makes an impossible choice and changes her fate. As the war begins, Planet, Sol, and Moon find a new residence and caretaker for the years ahead, and they study the languages and customs of society, not knowing what could lie in store for them all. As Skylar narrates this tale, you’ll read plots of forbidden friendship and love, struggles with identity, and gruesome battles. [UPDATES SATURDAYS]

When 21-year-old cynic Aizen dies in a laughably cliché truck accident, he awakens not as a hero, prince, or even a sidekick—but as the butler to Seraphina von Eldoria, the doomed villainess of a popular otome game novel. In a world where magic academies breed cutthroat politics and love interests are pre-scripted by fate, Aizen quickly realizes his role is less "romantic lead" and more "expendable mob character." Armed with nothing but his sardonic wit, a mysterious System interface, and the uncanny ability to fade into the background (literally), he navigates a labyrinth of aristocratic schemes, magical duels, and heroines who won’t stick to their damn storylines. But when Aizen discovers his "Mob Camouflage" skill lets him manipulate events unnoticed, he turns the game’s rules upside down. Why should he watch Seraphina march toward her scripted downfall? Why let the bland protagonist hoard all the power? And why are the story’s female leads—the ice-cold villainess, the sunshine-haired heroine, a rogue mercenary princess, and a witch with too many secrets—suddenly noticing him? As Aizen’s defiance of the plot unlocks hidden routes and stirs chaos in the Arcane Academy, he becomes the wild card in a battle for control of the narrative. But the System isn’t just a tool—it’s a prison. And the more Aizen rebels, the clearer it becomes: someone wanted him here. Someone who knows his real-world past. Someone pulling strings even the villainess can’t see…

A series of science fiction and fantasy stories

Brielle is one of the few female hunters at the association. Dealing with useless trainees every six months, she has a low tolerance for bullshit. She no longer believes in love, and nothing will change her mind after what happened to her. She believes that the only thing she can love and trust is her job, where she helps protect the defenceless by killing those who use their abilities to get everything they want. Hunting is a thrill that she enjoys more than life itself. Having a minimalist life, the only thing at home she cherishes is her painting. A vampire that refuses to choose a partner for his sister. Ketan will do anything to protect his loved ones, even kill those that threaten his livelihood. Usually, he is calm, gentle, and collected. He stays hidden away from everyone when he does not want anything to do with individuals until the day he is captured and locked away in a dungeon. After that moment, his life changed for good. Cursing the blood that he drinks, Ketan fights against the pull of drinking more blood from the person that donated the blood. An Excerpt from the book: Brielle throws her arms around Ketan’s neck. “I was so worried about you. I did not know what you were going to do or if you would survive.” Ketan smiled and accepted her hug. “I am sorry for worrying you. I had to do what needed to be done. Besides, I knew that this was going to happen and be as painful as it was.” Brielle starts sobbing in his embrace. “I think that you should take what you need from me, Ketan. You will not be able to stand the bloodlust soon… will you?” Pushing her away before losing control. Ketan moves away from her weakly. “Stay back. I am not in control of myself right now. You should not even be here right now. Leave me alone!” Ketan holds his hand out to stop her from coming closer to him. “I can hear your pulse racing; it’s deafening.” “You were fine a moment ago; now you are you pushing me away, Ketan? I can help you.” Brielle leans down towards him and gently pulls him into her arms. “No, stop. I can’t control myself, and I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to you. I am not a sedated beast; I lust for every drop of your sweet blood that I hear pumping through your veins, but I must resist. Otherwise, I will harm you in the worst way possible.” Ketan pushes her back and teleports deeper into the cave. “Stay back before I begin to acquire a taste for your blood. It is a deadly thing to tempt fate once again.” Brielle continues to walk into the deep dark cave towards him. “Ketan, I trust you more than I have trusted others. I know that you will not kill me. Just look at how fearful you are right now.” She finally reaches him again. Crying, Ketan grabs her from behind, sits her in his lap. One arm wrapped around her waist, the other in her hair, pulling off the right exposing her neck. Slowly he lowers his lips to her neck, licking the surface testing the flesh. His fangs rest at the hollow of her neck before carefully breaking the skin. He starts to drink her blood deeply, but as he drank, he slowly stopped and lifted his face up, crying while holding Brielle against his body crying. Blood leaking from the bite marks while some drips down his chin. Her body was being held up by Ketan, and her eyes were now closed. Her body seemed lifeless in his arms. She started to slide forward as a deadweight. Ketan catches her and holds her princess style in his lap, rocking back and forth. Crying fresh tears.

it's a gripping tale of intrigue, sharp dialogue, and the irresistible pull of the unknown. Who will outsmart whom in this electrifying game of cat and mouse?

As their lips met, the world around them melted away, leaving only the gentle caress of their kiss. It was a slow, sweet burn, like the first tender flames of a winter fire. But just as she tried to pull away, he wrapped his arms around her, drawing her close with a gentle yet insistent pressure. His hands roamed over her back, sending shivers down her spine as he slowly peeled off her singlet. The ice block she had been holding slipped from her fingers, landing with a soft thud on her breast. The cold was a shock, making her gasp and try to pull away, but he held her fast, his lips never leaving hers. As the chill seeped into her skin, she tried to squirm free, but he was relentless, his hands slipping beneath her clothes to warm her chilled flesh. His fingers brushed against her skin, sending sparks flying through her veins like fireflies on a summer night. And yet, even as she tried to push him away, she couldn't help but feel drawn to him, like a moth to a flame. His touch was a slow, sweet torture, melting her resistance like ice in the spring sun. but then someone was behind the door of the room 'sucy are you here'
