Arriving in a new world where the steam industry was booming, he inherited a three-story apartment on the capital's royal square, took in someone else's cat, and listened to the whispers at his ear, ready to witness this mysterious and bizarre era. The epic of the Sixth Era was about to commence, and behind the curtain, The Chosen One was destined to step into legend. Old Gods, Relics, steam, witches, detectives, ancient secrets, the Era's brilliance... "Would you like to play a round of Roder Cards?" Time engraved the hours, as Silvermoon illuminated the shadows. I compose your legend, you whisper your verses to me.

In the distant and mysterious interstellar world, ancient civilizations have faded like a dying candle in the wind, with shattered ruins and lost traditions lingering only in vague historical records. In this era, Dream Forgers, with their powerful mental abilities, construct dreams and engage in fierce battles with dream beasts, becoming revered figures. They are the spiritual backbone of the interstellar world, weaving dreams that connect people to the distant echoes of past civilizations. Lily, a graduate student in dream studies from Earth, found her fate dramatically altered in an unexpected twist. She was transported into the world of an interstellar romance novel, only to become the tragic side character. Despite possessing mental power, her lack of imagination became her fatal flaw in her quest to become a Dream Forger. During the Dream Forger assessment battle, other competitors showcased incredible creativity, with dreams filled with dazzling starlight and wild beasts galloping through fantastical landscapes. However, Lily could only struggle within the confines of her own mind, ultimately being eliminated for her inability to craft dreams. But the story did not end there. After her elimination, Lily did not succumb to despair; instead, she awakened in the face of adversity. As the curtain rose on the interstellar dream streaming battle, a legendary journey that would the entire interstellar world began. During the Beast Summoning Exam, while other competitors summoned common interstellar pets to engage in standard battles with dream beasts, Lily closed her eyes and took a deep breath. In an instant, a gigantic flying beast appeared out of nowhere, casting a shadow that seemed to cover the entire sky. With its wings spread wide, it looked as though it could tear the universe apart, and with each beat, the winds and clouds shifted. The interstellar audience was left speechless, their gasps of amazement echoing through the air. Lily smiled gently, silently reciting an ancient verse: "The great roc rises with the wind, soaring to ninety thousand miles in a single day." Then, in the vast sea of stars, the mythical creatures Xuanwu and Tengshe emerged, their massive forms churning the waters as if telling the tales of ancient myths. Amidst the swirling clouds, the Azure Dragon weaved through them, sometimes summoning rain and clouds, nourishing the mysterious dream world. And upon an ancient phoenix tree, a phoenix sang loudly, surrounded by fierce flames, its rebirth through fire a magnificent sight that left all who watched in awe. The interstellar people had never witnessed such a strange and culturally rich dreamscape. For a moment, the entire interstellar network erupted in a frenzy of excitement.

Born as a hermaphrodite (an intersex), and the bearer of the Lee family curse, all Lee Min-Su ever wanted was to be seen and accepted as a normal human being too. Betrayed by his own family, who had him imprisoned for seven (7) years by the King for a crime committed by his sister, Min-Soo wanted to end his life when they went ahead to disown him right after his release from prison. But then, just as he was about to jump into the Han River, he felt revitalised.  The thought of letting them have a taste of their own medicine became the essence of him living his remaining life here on earth. For 3 years, Minsoo lay in wait as he worked as a gisaeng (courtesan) and planned his simple but well elaborated revenge against his parents' "golden child." And that was to deny his big sister, Lee Min-Seo, the joy of being with the only man that she has ever loved, the Crown Prince. As a little token of payment for all that he had, had to endure from them. But finding out that he was pregnant with another man's child after the royal wedding was never part of his plans.  So Lee Min-Su knew then that, it was time to draw the curtains closed, before his "husband" found out that he had been duped. He needs to RUN! **** The Crown Prince Kim Hyun Jun, the number one sought-after bachelor in all of Joseon, has a secret.  And that is, his weenie has not gotten up since an incident 10 years ago. For this reason, he did everything he could to avoid getting married, in order not to stress anyone's daughter. But after his father, the King, became bedridden, his grandmother, the Queen Dowager, had to step in. She managed to arrange a marriage match between him and the Prime Minister's adopted daughter, Lee Minseo.  The prince knew then, that, he was f*cked. His long-term secret will now be exposed. But how come, that his then-sleeping weenie now has such an insatiable desire for this newlywed "Crown Princess" of his? What happens then, when the prince finds out that he married the wrong "woman"? What if this Crown Prince, who is now about to be crowned King, was to find out that his "Crown Princess" was the same "woman" that had caused the incident that killed his older brother and rendered him impotent? To add insult to injury, this fake "Crown Princess" has the guts to run away from him when his ascension to the throne is only a few days away. Well, this new king has no intention of letting "her" get away with this scot-free. He would find the fake "crown princess" and make sure that "she" paid for "her" deception.

When the curtain concealing the secrets of this world is lifted, it is also the time when the wheel of his destiny begins to turn. Rover steps into a new land, filled with darkness, brutality, and death. In this land, Heroism and bravery do not mean you will be the main character.

Noan transmigrated to a world that blends advanced technology and magic, with countless gates leading to other strange worlds. In that world, he took over the body of a young man of the same name who had just died. He realised that in this world, he was one of the 0.1% of the population who had the ability to become a landlord and had the right to go to mysterious lands to build territories. However, he was only a Rank F lord, the lowest and weakest rank in the landlord rankings. Besides, his family was like blood-sucking demons. Not only did he wear out his labour, but his younger brother was also jealous of him becoming a landlord, so he hired thugs to beat him to death. Fortunately, the 'old Noan' died, giving the 'new Noan' a body to live again. This Noan was not a coward; he was not weak like the 'old Noan'. And of course, the goddess of luck smiled upon him. Although he is only a Rank F Landlord, who can only summon useless Skeletons, he possesses the only Rank SSS talent in the world - Almighty Fusion. He can fuse ordinary skeletons and transform them into the King of the Undead, the lord of hell. He can help a weak succubus become the almighty fallen angel. He can turn a small lizard into the King of Dragons, the nightmare of all creatures. Besides, Noan also begins to lift the curtain that has hidden the truth about the new lands.

"Being mated to the dreadful alpha was something I could’ve never imagined," Diva thought with a heavy sigh. "Ugh! Ahh!" she screamed, throwing a pillow across the room. "I’m so frustrated with everything right now," she muttered to herself. Her voice wavered with anger as she continued, "I never liked this man! And yet, that stupid soothsayer declared I’m mated to this unmerciful brute who kills over the slightest mistake." Her words were venomous, her frustration spilling into every corner of her room. She began tearing through her belongings, scattering clothes and breaking anything in her path. A loud bang came from the door, making her pause. "Diva!" Mikael’s firm voice cut through the silence. "You have to stop this nonsense and come back to your senses. Destiny doesn’t change just because you want it to." "Go away, Mikael!" Diva snapped, her voice cracking with desperation. "I hear you, loud and clear," Mikael replied with an edge of sarcasm. "But when you’re ready to stop acting like a child, don’t forget to call me. I’ll always be there, whether you like it or not." His tone softened slightly, but the sound of his footsteps walking away came swiftly after. Diva leaned her back against the door, sliding down to the floor as tears streamed down her cheeks. It felt like her whole world had been flipped upside down. She wiped at her face but couldn’t stop the sobs from breaking free. "Why him?" she whispered into the empty room. "Of all the people in the world, why did it have to be Derek?" Her mind raced with memories of Derek—the cold, piercing eyes that seemed to see through everyone, the air of authority that silenced even the boldest warriors, and the bloodstained rumors of his merciless reign. A knock came at the door again, softer this time. "Diva," Mikael’s voice was gentler now. "I know this isn’t easy for you. But running from it won’t change the truth. You need to face him. Talk to him. Maybe he’s not as bad as you think." She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. "Not as bad as I think? You don’t know him, Mikael. You don’t know what he’s capable of." "And neither do you," Mikael replied. "Maybe it’s time you found out." The silence that followed was deafening. Diva closed her eyes, her head dropping to her knees. She wanted to scream, to protest, to demand a different fate. But deep down, she knew Mikael was right. "Why does it feel like my life has been sold off to the devil himself?" she murmured. Her thoughts were interrupted by a chilling gust of wind that swept through the open window. She froze, her eyes darting to the curtains billowing in the night air. For a moment, she felt as if she was being watched. "Destiny, huh?" she whispered bitterly, glancing at the reflection of her tear-streaked face in the shattered mirror across the room. "If this is my destiny, then fate has made a terrible mistake."

The world-famous hacker, Dexter, is a woman and she is the daughter of one of the most prominent families of aristocrats, going by the name Daisy Chen. Daisy has stayed away from her family, and juggled from one job to another in disguise or while cross-dressing as her alibi 'Dexter'. It never once got her into trouble, not until she chanced upon him. Ryle Harper, the CEO of Harper Societies, manages a multinational company on the surface but danger lurks beneath every façade he presents to the world. Daisy had decided to tread carefully around the man but trouble always comes uninvited. One night. One mistake. A stranger. An unprepared pregnancy. To keep her façade of being a man and not offend the devil, she did what was feasible… She disappeared without a trace. However, two years later, she finds herself facing him again only to realize that the man was, all along trying to track her down. By a twist of fate, she becomes his secretary again but this time, their deal comes with certain conditions and a time limit. But when destiny rolls its dice and Daisy has to assume the position of the head of her family, how would she escape Ryle's clutches again? Would she want to? Or would he let her? ... “Look at me,’’ his eyes darkened as he stepped towards her. With every step he took towards her, Daisy took a step back until her back hit the wall. The curtains swayed in the night wind, the glow of the pale moonlight illuminating the dark room where she could see the danger lurking in those hazel eyes. She averted her gaze. He pinched her chin and turned her face towards him, ‘’Dexter?” his fingers grazed up to her wig, ‘’Or shall I call you Daisy now? Daisy Chen?” he leaned closer to her, whispering next to her lips. Her lips parted but before she could utter a single word, her wig was tugged off. Her long dark hair came cascading down, answering all his unanswered questions. ''Tell me Daisy, or there are more ways I can make you speak,'' his hand reached inside her shirt, his long fingers grazed on the expanse of her delicate, bare skin, ''You believe me, right?" he whispered. She shivered, partly in pleasure and partly in denial of that pleasure that she felt.

I’ve spent my career digging up secrets, but I never expected to find myself in the center of one that could cost me my life. I’m Emily Carter, an investigative journalist known for getting to the truth—no matter how deep I have to dig. When my editor hands me the assignment of a lifetime, I’m drawn into the world of Gabriel Thorne, the billionaire who controls more than just his empire of wealth. He's been a ghost in the public eye for years, and no one has been able to pierce the veil of mystery surrounding him. Until now. It starts as a job: investigate Thorne Industries, find out what’s fueling the rumors of corruption, and expose the man behind the curtain. But the deeper I dive, the more I realize that Gabriel Thorne isn’t just a powerful businessman—he’s the key to a web of dark secrets that run far deeper than I could have imagined. And the more I uncover, the closer I get to becoming another one of those who’ve disappeared while chasing his secrets. But what I never expected was how drawn I’d be to him. There’s something magnetic about Gabriel, something dangerous and alluring that pulls me in even as I know I should walk away. He’s hiding something, and every instinct I have tells me I’m playing with fire. Yet, as the walls between us start to fall, I find myself trapped between exposing the truth and the undeniable pull I feel toward him. Powerful enemies are circling, and it’s not just my career on the line anymore—it’s my life. The closer I get to uncovering Gabriel’s hidden past, the more I realize that my own secrets might be just as dangerous. And when they collide, they could destroy any chance we have at happiness. Some secrets are worth billions. Others can cost you everything.

Amidst the sea of fallen comrades, their lifeblood staining the earth, a solitary figure rises above the carnage. He stands atop a gruesome curtain of death, his longsword an instrument of divine wrath. In its gleam, one could sense a challenge to the very gods themselves. We were fools to face him; my comrades paid the price in their own flesh and blood. A desperate realization claws at my mind – a realization that I must escape this blood-soaked field and bring dire warning to the holy excellencies. I looked at my remaining comrades they instantly realized what I was thinking. They must know of this relentless force, this harbinger of doom. I looked at my comrades and as I turn to flee, fate intervenes, and our eyes lock in a moment of eerie connection. He looked at me and my comrades with his crimson red eyes. He swung his sword towards me. Why is the world upside down? I thought. Then I realized that my head was cut by his crimson sword. Time slows to a crawl as I find myself caught in the deadly dance of his blade. I see the malevolence in his eyes, a reflection of the abyss that has claimed so many. He cut through my comrades without batting an eye. The red moon casts an ominous glow upon the battlefield, and his crimson silhouette, now moving away, becomes a spectacle against the crimson canvas. With an inexplicable calmness, I embrace the darkness. As he strides away, the embodiment of destruction and beauty, I can't help but smile like a fool. Amidst the ruins and the echoes of my demise, I whisper to myself, "Beautiful!" - a final tribute to the twisted elegance that accompanies the brutality of this merciless crimson devil.

A dimly lit, gaudy bar, a woman throws a seductive glance at you. When you wake up again in a hotel, you find two bite marks on your neck, your blood drained. In the desolate wilderness, you're startled awake by the howl of wolves, unaware that tonight you've become the prey for a clan's coming-of-age ritual. In a cluttered bachelor apartment, you hear a knock on the door. You step forward, and through the peephole, a pair of hungry, crimson eyes stare back at its dinner. Alone, whispers fill your ears—the dead linger in the spirit realm. They refuse to leave you behind, resenting that you are still alive . At last, you've completed the ritual from the book. You are about to become the new Faust, but you don’t realize that the contract sold not only your wife and children, but also your soul. Anyone who glimpses beneath the curtain knows: Adonai abandoned His creations long ago...

The divorced woman, Yan Yu, has only just escaped the confusion of companionship, only to find herself imprisoned by the solitude of singlehood. To her, desire is a relentless undertow, a surging tide, each wave an intense, impassioned motive. Be it good or ill, spoken or unspoken, desire pulses between light and shadow, rising and falling in a continuous struggle. On the lonely weekends when she craves company, should she choose Yun Ke, the fleeting vision behind a curtain of dreams? Or perhaps Fatty, a mere dispensable option? Maybe the professor, the dreary man devoid of emotional warmth? Or Cui Laoda, bound by the fate of his turbulent life? These men drift onto her weekend stage in succession, each offering his own color—yet, who among them could be her true match? Through the days, Yan Yu moves with a graceful ease, like a reflection of flowers upon the water. Every entanglement, every longing from this life or a past one, permeates her single existence, unfolding with a cool humor and poignant restraint. No woman despairs of love itself; she despairs only of men—or, perhaps, of pieces of them.

Final Life Online is a 10th-generation, full-dive VRMMO game developed through the collaboration of companies from across the globe. The game was initially designed as a virtual utopia, a place where players could spend their entire lives after retirement, earn a living, and even shape a new reality. Despite its deep and serious intent, the game became an escape for most players, who gave up on its true objective and chose instead to simply enjoy living in the virtual world as if it were reality. Only a few elite guilds still aimed to beat the game, chasing the incredible rewards promised to those who succeeded. The stakes were high — any player who could defeat the game's final challenge would be rewarded with 20% ownership in the top 1,000 companies in the real world. Yet, as the years passed, no one was able to conquer it. Now, a decade later, the game has become a battleground for the top guilds, all vying for that elusive victory and its earth-shaking rewards. Suddenly, the perspective shifts to a figure standing by the window, looking out into the fading light. A soft breeze ruffles the curtains as he gazes at the massive poster of Final Life Online plastered on the building across the street, its vibrant colors a stark contrast to the dullness of his room. He mutters to himself, his voice a mere whisper against the cacophony of the city below. "And I... am Flynn Blade." The name feels foreign on his tongue, a remnant of a past life he can barely remember. And I have reincarnated in this Doomed world, But no more as I am here now. ***** Flynn, a reincarnator from another world, finds himself preparing for the launch of Final Life Online, a virtual reality game with world-changing stakes. In his previous life, Final Life Online was just a novel, but now he knows it’s far more than just a game. It's humanity's last chance to prepare for a catastrophic apocalypse set to hit Earth in ten years. To make sure the world takes it seriously, the game’s rewards are extraordinary, including shares in top companies and a “World Owner” title with unparalleled power. Flynn has an edge over other players because he knows the game’s true purpose from the start, thanks to reading from the perspective of Max, the story's main character. Max is a regressor who, like Flynn, will join the game today. Max is set to choose one of the strongest classes, but Flynn knows about an even more powerful class that Max didn’t know existed. This class once made another player the second-strongest in the world, nearly on par with Max, despite the fact that Max had multiple advantages like special equipment and cheats. Flynn plans to take this class for himself, aiming to surpass even Max in strength and gather enough power to survive the coming apocalypse. Though he has never met Max personally, Flynn's knowledge of Max’s journey gives him the insight he needs to prepare. His ultimate goal is not just to become stronger, but to protect himself and those he cares about from the impending disaster.

【Exile + Farming + Spatial + System + Opening Up + No CP】 Just as she crossed over, she was tragically exiled, but fortunately, she had a spatial dimension at her disposal. Rob the house? Rob the air instead. Chen Xue immediately emptied out the Chen Family Estate, from the floor to the bed curtains, even the garden and lake were not spared. She even moved away the several thousand kilograms of food that her enemies had planted to frame her. When the enemies came to ransack the house. The enemy was dumbfounded, “Where are the things? The several thousand kilograms of supplies I secretly placed?” One of the household servants said, “Sir, apart from rat droppings, there’s nothing in the Chen Family residence.” A colleague remarked, “Sir Chen is so honest, there’s not a grain of food in the house, and even the family sleeps on the floor.” Chen Xue said, “My family is really poor, there’s not even a single grain of rice in the jar, we’re so poor we can’t even afford to cook.” So, everyone knew that there was a Mr. Chen in the capital who was struggling and penniless. Chen Xue’s Father: “Whoever says my family is struggling and penniless, I’ll take issue with them!” Chen Xue’s Mother: “It was our daughter who said it.” Chen Xue’s Father: “Ahem, well then, that’s okay.” Chen Xue said that exile was very difficult, not only enduring the wind, sun, rain, but also lacking sufficient food… The convicts and constables sneered, “Go on, we are the ones exiled, you’re practically on vacation.” Among the exiled group, the Chen family lay in the carriage, drinking tea, eating dried fruits, playing Go, leisurely cultivating vegetables in the spatial dimension, and when craving, exchanging snacks like spicy strips from the system, living quite contentedly.

You're just silent, behind the curtain that separates you from the crowd of people you call trash. As if you want to prove that no creature could ever touch you. However, it seems that you are starting to doubt what your initial belief was. Even though killing is one of the goals of your life. But, your heart seems to start beating when you whine. Yes... she is. The little woman whose family you have brutally massacred. The little girl you locked up in your majestic castle. That woman was Grace Hester. Then, do you think Grace will accept you after she finds out that you are the one who massacred her family? Moreover, it wasn't the only thing that made you hesitate to approach her. Your imperfect face makes you even more violent than usual. When your heart begins to be touched with love. Can you convince her? Can you get her to stay by your side?

After the crimson meteor streaked across the sky, human civilization stagnated. From that day on, people were no longer able to manufacture a single rocket, nuclear bomb, airplane, or automobile... The pyramid of civilization, built upon modern science, collapsed in an instant, and the disasters were far from over. The gray world descended with the crimson meteor, like a ghostly reflection behind a mirror, gradually dragging the civilized world into the abyss of chaos. In this era, human life was as insignificant as dust; in this era, humanity shone brightly like the stars. As the great edifice was about to collapse, some saw an actor standing tall atop the ruins of civilization, wearing a crimson robe like blood, laughing and weeping at times. The curtain of the era slowly opened behind him, and he spread his arms, whispering softly to the weary multitude— "The great show... begins."

Shut up fake monk !! Cheng Jiayi was so not screaming and crying hideously. At the very least he definitely look good even when screaming and crying.

Internally, computers process all information as binary numerals - expressions using only 0 and 1. For instance, the binary 00, 01, 10 and 11 correspond to the decimal values 0, 1, 2 and 3.  Why restrict to 0 and 1? Because electrical signals can only input and output those. More accurately, 0 and 1 are abstractions for humans. The system recognizes high/low voltage differentials as ON/OFF states instead. For example, 5V = ON, 0V = OFF.

On his journey, he would meet comrades and enemies. Coming in term with the past that had haunted him for a very long time. And in the end, Arthur had to doubt whether his conviction was truly correct. Within the vortex of superpowers that brought upon destruction on the bearer, would Arthur finally find the peace he had been seeking? Now then, ladies and gentlemen.

The curtain have risen and I shall retreat to the side. May the Goddess of the Moon, Guardian of All Memories, bless you on this moonlit night. Best wishes to you, From, 'The Original'
