Newt From Maze Runner

Maxwell "Max" Tate is 18, 300 pounds, and stuck in a rut. Life has always felt like an uphill battle—winded by stairs, invisible at school, and mocked for his secret dream of becoming a bodybuilder like The Rock. But when a mysterious system unlocks in his life, everything changes. The system gamifies Max’s fitness journey, turning his weight loss and bodybuilding dreams into quests, challenges, and stats. From struggling to finish a single push-up to lifting barbells like a pro, Max discovers that his greatest rival isn’t the weights or the gym—it’s his own self-doubt. As he pushes through grueling workouts, learns the discipline of meal prep, and starts to see results, Max realizes this journey is about more than building muscle. It’s about reclaiming his confidence, proving to himself that he’s capable of greatness, and inspiring others to transform their lives. But with every success comes a new challenge. Can Max stay true to his dream, even as the system’s mysterious origins hint at a greater purpose? Or will the weight of the world—and the temptations of his past—crush him before he reaches the stage? "Iron Will" is a heartfelt, uplifting story about self-discovery, perseverance, and the power of taking life one rep at a time.

As all kids do, Hera wanted to be an explorer. Sadly when she turned 18 she discovered that her stats and lack of skills made her fail the requirements to become one, and she went to work on a bookstore. That should have been the end of her story. But when she wins a lottery to have her level up she discovers a hidden skill and a rare one at that. The system gave her dream back, and this time she is not letting it go. ############################## The story is about a world where game-like systems are the norm, Everyone has a level, status and even skills are a common thing. If your stats are good you can even become an explorer, someone that ventures inside a place called MAZE, a dungeon of sorts filled with monsters creatures and things that the regular world is missing such as magic. The story follows Hera, a woman who wanted to be an explorer but her status were too low to become one. One day she wins a raffle that allows her to level up for the first time giving her the chance to achieve her childhood dream. It's more about how things work and what you can do with them than about power or revenge. The rhythm might be a bit slow for some but that is the idea. I want to give sort of a slice of life feeling to most of it. ###############################

Raika used to be a Cultivator. She lived in a sect, fought in tournaments, and cultivated to spite the heavens, as a cultivator should. While she was never the strongest, fastest or wisest, she held it in her heart to never, ever give up, and to stand for her ideals. And then an Imperial Cultivator destroyed her soul organs and left her crippled. In a world with a sun made of flaming serpents, reality-defying entities running amok, and a timeless, all-knowing Emperor ruling all through the power of his Blades and the constant advances and experiments of his Divisions, Raika is less than worthless, unable to see and feel the blood of reality- but when it's surrender or madness, she chooses madness. Embarking on a new path, Raika will find strange secrets, hidden paths to transformation, and abandon humanity, sanity, and the rule of the Empire to become something far stranger and far more powerful than she ever thought possible. In a world replete with enslaved Daemons used as WMDs, reality-bending powers, eldritch-punk technology, and strange pathways of cultivation and magic, she'll have to find allies, confront gods and monster, and defy the Heavens, her own body, and common sense to find a way to become something new. Facing a millenia-old Empire rife with corruption and unknown plans, impossible horrors from the edges of the world, Daemons, Witches, and her own broken soul, she won't stop until she's become truly free- but what will it cost, and can her insanity match the madness of the reality itself?

“I don't like judging people, but sometimes I can't help it. I don't like talking behind people's backs, but sometimes I do. I just want to live a good life, but sometimes I can't.” Love, Betrayal, Blood, but not Hatred. Only cold revenge, and a son to complete the family. "D" Section, a nonexistent military unit. "D" for dark, "D" for depth, "D"... for death. It demanded no attachment, and Daemon sacrificed love for it. Years later, the death of his teammates made him feel that he had done enough for the country, so he came back to the city he grew in. But can what has been forsaken be gained back? Because now Evelyn, the one to have breathed vitality in his numb, orphaned heart, had her own life, and a little boy calling her mother. And while he left his life full of dead bodies behind, did that life really let him go? From the ashes, will it love or... ? _ _ _ First draft of characters image on my discord, a channel for fans to get together: https://discord.com/invite/C86EJvCJdd Comment and review, don't forget.

Story Summary Michael Dean (Lin Xiran), a seemingly ordinary urban office worker, unlocks a mysterious “Intelligence System” after solving an online “genius puzzle.” The system declares him a participant in the “Trial of Wisdom,” guiding him to a secret organization—the Society of Intellect. The Society claims to recruit the brightest minds worldwide, offering challenges to advance humanity’s progress. Beneath this noble facade lies a web of secrets. As the challenges grow increasingly perilous, Michael discovers a fierce power struggle between the Society’s factions—the Extremists and Conservatives.

Gradually, he unravels the Society’s grand conspiracy: the organization’s true purpose and the Intelligence System’s hidden motives. In the end, Michael faces a pivotal choice: become a puppet of the system, helping the Society realize its ambitions, or defy the rules and expose the truth lurking behind the facade.

'Am I hallucinating? Am I dying?' Marx thought. Perhaps he was seeing visions because he was feverish, and his head ached from the contusions he suffered during the crash. He blinked, but the vision was still there. He saw a beautiful woman fully naked on the edge of the other side of the spring. Her slightly wavy hair with the color of copper cascaded freely down her slim waist. She raised her arms and dived cleanly into the water. Marx waited, but after some time, she did not emerge. Marx chuckled. How could a woman be in a jungle in the middle of nowhere?" He heard a growl from behind him, and before he could react, a big tiger pounced on him. The last thing he remembered was seeing four canines closing in and hearing a loud female voice shouting, "Khalil, stop!" … Discover how Amaya, who grew up in the wild, coped with the pressure and challenges of returning to the civilized world.

Arthur was one of the few original beta testers still playing after 30 years, he was originally a ranker, a player whose entire goal was to stay at the top, ahead of everyone else.

Seventeen-year-old Yotsuba Emi seems to have it all: wealth, beauty, intelligence, and a bright future as the heiress to her family’s business empire. But her charmed life is shattered when she is suddenly pulled into a deadly phenomenon known as The Maze of Shadows. The Maze is a nightmarish series of ever-changing dungeons where survival is the only rule. Ghosts, vampires, ghouls, and monsters lurk in every corner, and the only way to escape is to complete the dungeon’s tasks before the timer runs out. Failure means death, and survival often demands sacrifices Emi never imagined making. Each dungeon is more dangerous than the last, and the people trapped with Emi—strangers, criminals, even children—rarely survive long enough to reach the next level. Yet, she can’t escape the Maze’s grasp. Every victory only earns her a temporary reprieve before she is thrown into the next, deadlier trial. As Emi fights to survive, she discovers fragments of the Maze’s dark secrets. What is the purpose of these cruel games? Who—or what—created the Maze? And most importantly, can it ever be destroyed? With her sharp mind, unwavering determination, and a growing arsenal of skills purchased with the coins she earns, Emi is determined to find answers. But in the Maze of Shadows, survival comes at a cost—and the price may be more than she’s willing to pay. This novel is a work of fiction.
