Can Tigers Live In Africa

____________________ WSA 2025 Entry ____________________ When it first appeared, no one could explain what it was. A towering tree that stood over the clouds and kissed the heavens had appeared overnight, visible to all regardless of location yet the tree could never be reached. It existed everywhere yet was not physically present. It began in Korea when a professional MMA fighter and a father of two—Ki-moon was on an early morning jog when a door before him, and out of curiosity, he entered. Ki-moon had a match booked for the next day so it wasn't hard to notice his disappearance. Two days later Ki-moon was declared missing. However, a week later, he returned with abilities that stunned the world. The world went crazy, and for a month, it was the only topic on everyone's lips. Ki-moon's interview explained how he summoned the door and not stumbled upon it as many believed. All you had to do was whisper the word "door" with the tree in mind. He warned about the horrors he went through that nearly cost his life, however no one paid heed. All they saw was the power he possessed and everyone wanted a piece of that. On the 3rd of October 2020, a day after Ki-moon's interview was released, five hundred million humans globally, summoned the door, and barely a hundred thousand people made it back alive, many traumatized. Unfortunately, the world was not given the chance to mourn their loss. On the 11th of 2020, 100 gates opened across the world, each gate leading to dungeons filled with resources and monsters that the world has never seen before. On that very day, Deviants were born… _______________ {Warning: Author rant} _____________________ Hello guys, it's the world's biggest disappointment; Black_sheep. This is a shout-out to my fellow failures who failed to meet their family's expectations—you are not alone. In fact, I don't think there can be a greater failure than myself. Anyways, I'm using this opportunity to make this clear; the mc has a few loose screws up there. Don't judge. Every man is a reflection of his/her life experiences and sometimes those experiences turn even the sweetest souls to demons. Don't ask how I know this.

[WPC APRIL WINNER 2024] Lucas Voss was a normal adult in his late twenties. He doesn't know how or why but he got transmigrated as an extra inside of the novel he read till 5th volume. The problem for Lucas was that his life was in danger as soon as he entered the novel. Why? Because Lucas was transmigrated as the 4th Prince who is an extra and was about to die with an Illness that couldn't be cured.

Uhmmmm, I don't really know what to write for the synopsis... I've been writing this book for a couple of years, and it feels super wholesome to write. I'm not reallly sure how it reads from the perspective of the reader. Maybe read it more gently, if you can. It's about a struggling young hero, and his battles with the curse that he endures. It probably follows quite a few tropes for a bit. But if you're realllly patient with it, I think there's extra stuff in there too. Some of it is fairly thoughtful, because I've been using it more as something that I enjoy writing than anything else, so a lot of just y'know, little thoughts pop up, and random day to day ideas get explored. But there's cool stuff too. There's characters I really like, and think are pretty cool, that are like larger than life, and I don't rly think I have any control in the writing over. There's battles that I don't even know how they'll end up. It's fun for me to reread sometimes, as much as it is to write. So I hope you get as much fun out of it as I did!!

[True Survivalist Path + Longevity Flow + Ruthlessness + Mortal Cultivation Style] Transmigrated to a world of cultivation. Initially, I thought I’d soon have to fight to the death with those ruthless cultivators, competing for the slim chance to achieve immortality. Unexpectedly, I came with a status panel granting me infinite lifespan. What should I do now that I’m suddenly immortal? “The masses fight tooth and nail for immortality.” “That’s because their lives are short. If they don’t fight, they die!” “But I’m different.” “If I fight, that’s when I’ll really die.” “As long as I can keep surviving and cultivating steadily, one day, I’ll become immortal.” This is the story of a long-lived individual navigating the cultivation world with the path of survival and longevity.

The greatest tragedy is not the destruction of the self, but realizing too late that you were never yourself to begin with.

In a world of constant competition, one man aims for the top. In this new genre VRMMORPG, he plans on becoming the strongest at all costs. The classes, the races, the starting zones, everything is a mystery in 'New Eden'. This game is coming out without a shred of details. The only thing that was promoted was the freedom of skill choosing. Our protagonist Alexander, gamer tag Astaroth, has always dreamt of becoming an E-Sports athlete. His parents supported his dream, but they are no longer of this world. He fully intends on making it in this new game, if not for him, then at least to honor their memory. With no idea how he wants to play his character, Alexander chooses the most mysterious starting race. Will this be his road to success or his downfall? The game assistant certainly thought the latter. "Do as you wish, young adventurer. I only wish to add this. Do not come back with complaints when you realize you have made the wrong choice," the elf said, looking at him with clear hatred. "We will see about that," Alexander flatly replied. "I love challenges," he added. "Very well!" the elf harrumphed. "Have the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last," he sarcastically added. Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships. But one thing is clear in his eyes. He will become the strongest player in the game, even if he must step over mountains of corpses to do so. Over are his days of working hard for nothing, it's make or break now! I now have a discord where you can talk with other readers and me. There are also channels to discuss new weapons; characters; classes; or monsters that you might want to design and see incorporated in the story. I will always give credit to the person that created said thing, rest assured. The link is https://discord.gg/68kPqbSFrN

Synopsis:Main character troupe, there's seem to be countless of them but if you read enough series, all of them seem to be the same. In a world where every hero gets an overpowered weapon ("Legendary Weapon Chosen One" trope) an SSS-rank skill ("Instant Overpowered Protagonist" trope) a loyal spirit that turns into a lover ("Summoned Companion Becomes Love Interest" trope) our protagonist… gets none of that. Reincarnated into a fantasy world ("Isekai/Reincarnation Protagonist" trope) MC was supposed to be the next great hero. Instead, he remains weak— no hidden power ("Secretly OP But Hiding It" trope) no god-slaying sword ("Magic Sword of Destiny" trope) ( F-rank to SSS-Rank weopon) and definitely no harem of devoted followers (“middle age man to child”trope ) ("Accidental Harem" trope) While others rise to greatness overnight (" Protagonist Gains Power Instantly " trope) he struggles to survive in a world that rewards strength above all else. But true power isn’t always about flashy skills or legendary weapons. Through patience ("Hard Work vs. OP Cheats" trope) wit, and sheer stubbornness, he carves his own path—one that defies fate ("Protagonist Has a Grand Destiny" trope) and the clichés that bind it. This is the story of a protagonist who refuses to be special in the way the world demands… and yet, somehow, might just change everything.

In this modern mythological tale, Dhruv, an unsuspecting mortal, finds himself in Vaikuntha, questioning whether this is truly the end of his journey. Instead of peace, he meets a mysterious man in a suit, who ultimately reveals that Dhruv cannot enter heaven due to "arrows of regret"—a metaphor for his unfulfilled purpose. Offered a chance to return to Earth for 90 days to make amend. Upon accepting the deal, Dhruv embarks on a chaotic and humorous journey through the underworld, meeting Yamaraj, the god of death, and Gorgo, a nervous demon with horns, who comically reacts to Dhruv's presence as though he's a harbinger of disaster. As Dhruv navigates the strange, labyrinthine bureaucracy of the underworld and the daunting task of creating a "happy ending" for himself. With gods in disguise, reluctant demon assistants, and divine missions laced with humor, Dhruv's journey becomes one of discovering the true meaning of life, death, and purpose.

In the swamp, mosquitoes danced, and a five-meter long bay crocodile was firmly bound at the snout, its vertical pupils gleaming with ferocity. At that moment, a young man cover in mud was straddling it, and he was very modest in the face of audience's praise. "I'm Bi Fang, a professional explorer. I have trekked atop the roof of the world and traversed through the Valley of Death, and I've even challenged the mysterious Amazon. Even the National Geographic has named me the world's premier survival expert, the king of the wild at the top of the food chain, but trust me, that's all an overstatement..." Under the crimson clouds, Bi Fang silently tightened the rope in his hand and, seeing that the bay crocodile beneath him had finally stopped struggling, he pulled out the Hunting Knife and killed it with a single strike to the underside of its jaw. "Today is the second day of survival. I thought I would have to endure another hungry night, but now it seems, dinner has taken care of itself."
