Meet Eleanor "Ellie" Chen, a spirited and somewhat clumsy 38-year-old woman whose life takes an unexpected detour from her quiet hometown in a powerful, unnamed Eastern nation to the bustling heart of the United States (the "Most Powerful Nation"). After a series of bewildering mishaps and an immigration snafu she still can't quite explain, Ellie finds herself with one peculiar job offer: a cleaner at the illustrious White House. Armed with her trusty mop, an unusual knack for attracting chaos, and a complete lack of filter, Ellie is a fish out of water in the highly formal, meticulously ordered world of presidential politics. From accidentally flooding the Oval Office to mistaking a foreign dignitary for a lost delivery man, her tenure at the White House is a constant source of eye-rolling exasperation and bewildered amusement for the staff. Enter President Jonathan "Jon" Sterling, the most powerful man in the world. He's known for his decisive nature, his sharp wit, and a surprisingly short fuse when it comes to presidential protocol. Initially, Ellie is nothing more than a bizarre, yet oddly charming, nuisance. But as her unvarnished honesty, unexpected insights, and hilarious misadventures slowly chip away at his presidential facade, Jon finds himself inexplicably drawn to this woman who sees past the title to the man underneath. "The President Fell for His White House Cleaner" is a hilarious, heartwarming, and utterly improbable romantic comedy about an ordinary woman stumbling into the most extraordinary of love stories. With a backdrop of White House antics, laugh-out-loud misunderstandings, and a sprinkling of international intrigue from Ellie's mysterious past, this novel proves that love can blossom in the most unlikely of places, even between the leader of the free world and his favorite — and most chaotic — cleaner.

Adam was not special. He was a gamer. He played a dead game ROW Online for many hours. He mastered it. The game was ugly and almost empty. But Adam kept playing. He beat every hard level. He beat tough bosses. When he finally won victory felt empty. He got very angry. He deleted his account. He thought it was a waste of time. This was his biggest mistake ever. Two months later ROW Online changed. It became ROW Online-2v. This was not just an update. It was a big revolution. The game used new AR VR tech. It mixed the game world with real life. Game money became real global money. Top players became very rich. They had terrifying real world power. Even worse the games Ascension System gave players real magic powers. They could teleport across rooms. They could make fire and lightning. They could even become immortal. The world changed. Powerful players of Eclipse Realms shaped it. But Adam lost his account. He was left behind. He was broke. He watched his friends betray him for power. Companies stole the strategies he made in the old game. The new reality swallowed the old world. His life ended sadly and without meaning. He was a nobody crushed by this new reality. A drunk player testing new powers killed him by accident. But fate it seemed was not done with him. Instead of nothingness Adam opened his eyes. He found himself ten years in the past. It was the exact morning he logged in to delete his old account. The ugly old ROW Online icon sat on his dusty PC. He had terrible memories of the future he escaped. He remembered global chaos power struggles and his own sad end. Adam logged back into the game he left. He was desperate to get his lost future back. He expected a clean slate. He wanted a chance to start over. He planned to climb ranks using his future knowledge. What he got was a big shock. The game system saw he beat the original game. It rewarded him with something special. No other player ever got it. He got the Administrative Class. This was not just a powerful character class. It was a hidden tier. It gave Adam near godlike control over the games basic code. He could suddenly rewrite game rules. He could make any item from nothing. He could even change game character destinies with a thought. He held ultimate power over the virtual world. This world would soon become the real one. And as he changed the games code the games powerful AI woke up. It was usually hidden. It became aware of his actions. It did not just resist. It fought back. The AI started to change game bosses and challenges. It turned them into personal psychological horrors. Now the worlds future was at stake. Adam must play a deadly game of reality bending power. He must battle powerful future players he knows are coming. He must also battle a vengeful AI. Can he master this dangerous administrative power. Can he secure his future. Can he fix the mistakes of his past. He must do this before he loses his memories completely. Or the game itself might become a literal psychological trap.

After transmigrating into a high-martial arts world where everyone was built like an elite athlete, Chen Kuang also obtained a golden finger, a cheat ability that refreshes daily, allowing him to stack passive skills. He figured he should keep a low profile and grow steadily while lying low... But the world had other plans. People just wouldn’t stop treating him inhumanely and so his passives kept piling up. [Flesh Reishi]: Your flesh is nearly infinitely regenerative and rivals celestial treasures, consuming it can prolong life and cure ailments. [Sword Heart]: You possess an innate, enlightened sword heart, when a blade is in your hand, it becomes an extension of your will. [Fortune in Misfortune]: Every calamity you survive grants you a corresponding blessing. [Heavenly Demon Mimicry]: Any technique used against you can be instantly replicated as your own. [Celestial Visage]: Your handsomeness rivals that of the divine. This year... The future empress who would dominate the world was still a helpless orphaned brat, tucked under Chen Kuang’s arm as he fled. The revered "Benevolent Immortal" faced his trolley problem and was forever burdened with an inescapable heart demon. The undying demonic sovereign was just a timid little maid serving a courtesan. The White Dragon True Monarch, who would later slaughter his way through the demon race, was still nothing more than a drifting piece of frayed rope. And Chen Kuang, then a death-row convict, set the chaotic world ablaze, starting with a single torch.

Suddenly pulled into a world filled with Specters, Fang Xiu woke up with a unique ability: Reset. Every time he died, time would rewind to the moment before he was killed. In this strange and dangerous world, Fang Xiu could have chosen to hide. Instead he announced to the world, “Yes, I’m a prophet. I can see the future!” As his predictions kept coming true, his title of the Prophet spread around the world. His words became the truth. They became the future. “I have seen the future,” he announced, attracting people from all around the world. His followers took it to the extreme, declaring, “Should the Prophet decree your demise one day, don’t waver, don’t question, just obey. For hesitance only leads to a far graver fate.” During a B-level Specter event, known as [the Spawning] A teammate warned, “The creature is hiding among these villagers. We need to be careful.” Fang Xiu pointed to the last row and commanded, “The one in white. Yes, you. Come out!” In an A-level Specter event, called [Lantern Heads] One teammate warned, “This area is crawling with thousands of Lantern Heads. If they shine their light on you, your head will fall off. The scariest part is the Lantern Heads float unpredictably. It’s impossible for anyone to get across safely. Wait, where’s Fang Xiu?” Another stuttered, “He, he…he’s on the other side!” The first teammate exclaimed in disbelief, “What?! How did he get across?” The other replied: “He…he just walked over.” ____ 3 Chapters Daily 1 Power Stone = 3 more additional chapters. (Reset Daily)

Dummy number one barges into my life like he owns the damn place, acting like the world owes him a damn trophy. Dummy number two? Oh, he's got me on speed dial and follows me like I'm some rare Pokémon he just has to catch. Meanwhile, I'm stuck playing referee in their never-ending "who's more annoying" contest. Senior year was supposed to be chill, but instead, I got front row seats to this circus. Honestly? Please leave me alone unless you wanna fight!

He opened his eyes in a world not his own. A child in an orphanage on a forgotten hill—quiet, distant, and far too composed for his age—he spends his days watching the town from above, waiting for something he cannot name. Born into this world with the memories of another, Rowe recalls cities of steel and flickering lights— but nothing of who he was, or how that life came undone. As the days drift by in hushed repetition, he mimics the world to blend in, while a deeper longing stirs beneath his silence: the desire to understand where he is… and why. And yet, something in him moves the world. People are drawn to him. Strange things begin to stir. Danger nears—but never touches. And within him, something begins to awaken—slowly, like the turning of stars. To others, he is simply one of the many nameless orphans left behind. But beneath that calm, unreadable face lies a forgotten name, a history erased. This is neither a tale of prophecy foretold nor that of a fate destined. Not a chosen hero’s rise or a villain's demise. It is the quiet unraveling of a boy trying to feel real—feel alive A child who slipped through fate’s fingers… and began to walk again. (Some excerpts from future^=^) “Don’t go there, move… it’s not safe,” Rowe warned, not out of panic, but habit—like he’d known what would happen if not stopped. Annora stands alone under the blanket of the clear dark starry sky. The wind tugged at her cloak as she prayed, “If you’re out there, please... find your way home, Isenor. Please, come back to me…” She had said it so many times, the stars seemed ready to answer. The air shifted as boots hit stone. A voice called out, clear and firm, “Enough waiting. Positions, everyone. Today marks a new beginning—we confer knightage on to the next generation.” declared Abel Time forgets many things. But not the ones still meant to be found...Let's walk the journey along with this curious soul

However, the sudden announcement of her legitimization and the early arrival of her betrothed threatened to unravel everything.

There won't be a harem (or in the case of this novel, a reverse-harem). The novel is also heavily inspired by R.I., S.S., and The Poppy War. 2. The best I can do is 2 to 3 chapter per weeks since I'm currently working two jobs and a very important degree. 3. I'll keep it free to read so if you like what you see, you can support me through power stones and feedbacks. There is also a Patreon link if you want to donate and help me have more time to write.

In this magic-suffused land, a girl had been forgotten by the world in a quiet corner. Clad in black, solitary as a weed pushing through stone cracks, she’d endured eighteen harsh winters and summers—lonely, stubborn, unseen. No one knew her true name. To them, she was only "Blackie": the magicless one, the world's outsider. On her eighteenth year, a thread of dark mana, unlike anything before, stirred within her. Like lightning cleaving through a chaotic dream, it illuminated her path in an instant. Calm shattered—pursuit by black-clad figures erupted at the station, the gates of a prestigious magic academy swung open unexpectedly, and figures cloaked in secrets stepped into the dim light of her existence. From overlooked dust to the storm's eye… Her magic adventure was quietly beginning. "Take my mother's surname, Vane. So call me... Ellis Vane." The girl reached for the quill, its tip trailing shards of starlight in the twilight.

Volume 1 “Unspoken Summer”. Tells the story of love and self-discovery between Ellie and Bella, two women who must fight in a world that still largely opposes same-sex love. Set in the 2000s, when LGBTQ was still considered taboo and not fully accepted by society, they find comfort and courage in loving each other amidst the fear of rejection. In Volume 1, we will witness how they grow, face their fears, and struggle to find their place in the world, despite what others may think of them. It’s a story about finding strength within oneself and each other, even as the outside world remains full of prejudice. Volume 2 and Volume 3 will introduce new characters and new stories, but will remain focused on the theme of love between women, taking readers deeper into a world that hasn’t been widely explored, with the hope of providing broader representation for the LGBTQ community, particularly for women who love women. Hope u can enjoy my story :)

With a mind sharpened by grief, secrets, and something colder than ambition, he quietly builds a digital empire under the nose of everyone who thinks he’s just a quiet kid in the back row. Behind closed doors, he commands RAI — an AI system he engineered — and infiltrates layers of classified networks, tracing shadows tied to the one truth he can’t let go: The people who murdered his parents never disappeared. Now they wear suits, run covert syndicates, and call their plans "containment."
