I reincarnated as a dungeon boss… and everything is on fire. Literally. I woke up in a beach-themed dungeon I only ever half-built in-game — broke, under-leveled, and with only one powerful asset: my overpowered, ultra-loyal (and dangerously possessive) waifu. No mobs. No traps. Just me, a sword-wielding yandere, a bodybuilding commander who won’t wear shirts, a chef-slime, and a maid who definitely thinks I’m pathetic. But if I want to survive in a world where dungeons fight for dominance and other bosses want me gone, I need to start building — stronger floors, better defenses, elite units. They think I’m weak. They think I’m a joke. They forgot one thing: I’m a gamer. I don’t play fair. Welcome to Aqua Land — where chaos reigns, strategy matters, and even the mop is a weapon if you hold it right.

Naph had a couple of years of extremes. One year, he was trying to chase down a few rats in a desert. Another he was hunting bears in a river. There was a year when he just chilled himself on a beach. His volatile heart mayhems his life. This time his hunt had a different breed entirely. Named Bulwark. Quite the bounty on such a name. The only requirement? Bring the head back clean and without damage. Hunting was a sport. At least that’s what he had learned by watching others. Every adult showing off their repertoire of the dead. His volatile nature and teen years hadn’t taught him whom to show off or not. Bulwark was his first human kill. Yet it was his first insight into what a ‘catalyst’ could do. His survival had been on his intellect earlier, but not anymore. The world responded. He ran. Ran into things he hadn’t heard. Will the world make him another number in its long list of the dead? Or will he learn its truths? Will he know of the unspoken words he hadn’t processed? His heart a volatile entity; the world a raging a beast chasing him. And a few words that he didn’t knew- yet one etched itself in: “Cata”. ---------------------------------------------------- This story is also available on RoyalRoad.com with the same title "Catalyst Cross Lesio" with the username 'alex_reads'.

Luana Flores is twenty, loud, and just a little too alive for her own good. She swears too much, laughs at her own jokes, and always shows up late - barefoot, hair a mess, beer in hand. Island life is sweet and predictable: work at the beach café, talk trash with Mia, dodge her lola’s prayers, and maybe flirt with fate just a little. And then he walks in. Not tall. Not flashy. Just him - black shirt, khaki shorts, slippers that have seen better days, and eyes that fold into half-moons when he laughs. The kind of boy who’s quiet but kind, who loves bitter coffee and always notices the small things - like when her hands shake, or when her smile doesn’t reach all the way. Luana doesn’t mean to fall. She really doesn’t. But when it starts to feel like flying, how do you stop? So she keeps the flutter in her chest a secret. Tells no one. Not even him. Because love feels a lot like freedom. But what if her heart’s already too tired to keep up?

Nova scrambled backwards, panting hard, her short locks clinging to her damp forehead as she watched this predator stalk towards her. The vibrant and lively forest hushed, almost holding its breath to watch the scene unfold. Great, she had an audience for what would surely be a gruesome death. Death looked... a little... rugged and in nothing but a loin cloth, defined by slabs of muscle, a trail of hair leading down to such a small piece of cloth to hide a large- A spine-chilling growl snapped her gaze back up to meet his golden-red eyes, fiery, and intense, glaring at Nova as he slammed his hands either side of her head. Pieces of bark crumbled down from the impact. "I told you not to run..." He threatened, his eyes piercing hers, his voice more guttural than she'd heard from any male. His eyes clenched shut as his body trembled. "My instinct is to always stalk, always chase... until I get what I want.." Their faces were inches apart. She could feel his hot breath fanning her face. The forest was humid and hot, and his body was so close to hers that it was almost unbearable. The gruff voice, those words and the intensity of those eyes that reminded her of sunsets caused goosebumps to flourish across her arms. "What do you want?" Nova swallowed, not recognising her voice. She was so out of her depth. His chest rumbled, and more bark crumbled down from behind her head. "You..." Her breath hitched. "To. Do. As. You're. Told." - Paradise was what Nova Winslow was promised when her boyfriend whisked her away to Isla De Tayun, the perfect getaway for their busy lives. It was untouched, pristine, a hidden gem. But it had remained that way for a reason. The island doesn’t want visitors. And neither do the natives. What should have been a romantic retreat, drinking from coconuts and lounging on white-sandy beaches together, turns into a holiday from hell. Mid-argument with her soon-to-be ex, Nova stumbles into a lake. When she resurfaces, her boyfriend, the path she came from, and the resort have vanished. Alone, stranded, and with little survival skills, Nova has only a wet phone with no signal, a pair of heels, and an irrational fear of bats—which are everywhere. She is out of her depth when she falls into a mystical world of beasts. Hunted by tribesmen, stalked by beasts that shouldn't exist, and hearing animals speak, she has no choice but to trust the wild beast the forest itself fears—Yoa, a wanted man. Together, they flee the tribes pursuing them all while battling her growing attraction to Yoa. Can she survive the wild and make it back to her civilised life? Or will she lose herself to the untamed world—and to the man who belongs to it? #Beast #Ssssteamy #Adventure #Mythical #R18 -- THERE WILL BE MATURE CONTENT!! -- If you are enjoying the story, please vote with a power stone, leave comments and review! -- Cover Image: In the middle of getting one commissioned.

The West Coast, bathed in its free air, greeted me with a brutal awakening. One moment, my world was familiar; the next, I was an 'urban explorer' – a homeless man – cast onto the unforgiving streets. I opened my eyes to nothing. No dog, no identity, no tent – not even shoes on my feet. Just beach shorts and the harsh concrete beneath. My only stroke of luck: the Daily Intelligence System, inexplicably tied to my phone, a lifeline in this new, desperate existence. The messages flashed: [Daily Intelligence:] The club at 134th Watson Street has a trove of recyclable cans and transparent beverage bottles in the green trash can in the alley. [Daily Intelligence:] There are unfinished hamburgers, 7 flowers, and an unopened bottle of Pinot Noir in the red trash can at 96th Street. [Daily Intelligence:] Your neighbor Jesse has a scratch card worth $5,000 in his tent! [Daily Intelligence:] Mike's Scrap Collection Station sells a 1976 GMC Hiking RV, parked in the suburbs for 20 years, for a low price of $200. Details: Someone at Old Pick's Auto Repair Shop can repair it. Shit! This wasn't life; it was a goddamn scavenging game. From the raw, unforgiving streets of America, Alan resolved to play the game – and fight for a better tomorrow.

Hao Ren was born in another world and has lived for over twenty-two years being nothing but a definition of the word, average. After a high school reunion, the young man sat down on the beach shore, and mumbled to the sky, "God of Novels, you are unfair. I spent forty years of my life doing nothing but reading books and stories written by others. I worked hard to manifest this rebirth, and yet you did not bless me with anything. Why?" A voice echoed in his mind, "Host, you have the Omnipotent Husband System." Hao Ren scoffed and scolded the system, "What is the use of having you when you are not even active? Are you shitting with me, you bastard?!" The system replied, "Host the condition for activating the system is to get married." Hao Ren could not handle it anymore and cried out loud as he complained about this condition. He was not good-looking, and neither was he wealthy, who was going to marry him? Tired, he spent the on the beach. When he was returning home, he passed by the marriage registering center. He sighed for his fate but suddenly, a beautiful lady asked him, "Hey, do you have any identity card on you?" Hao Ren nodded in a daze, and the lady dragged him inside the office. The young man was yet to register what happened to him when an automated voice sounded, "Host, congratulations on getting married. Omnipotent Husband System is now activated." ... Years later, Hao Ren became an entity many people wished to meet. However, Hao Ren never stayed outside, to everything he had one reply, "I have to go home and cook for my wife." Would you like to know his journey from an average to an over-achieving person standing at the apex of power and prestige? ...

This book is a Sequel to "Paige: Diary of a lost Teen" by sarah_ofomola "What kind of man loves someone like me?" I questioned that evening the gushing sound of waves was the relaxing sea flooding my senses. I've always wanted to be here, alone with him on the beach sand. "I was not only abused, I was dirty. I was angry and I hated you." I confessed. "How come you stayed?" Salt water seeped through my lips souring up my mouth. My heart melted. "I don't deserve you!" " I love you!" I said, and as usual the winds brought his response back to me. I'm Adediwura, Toluwanile and this is my Story...

For Thyme, a university student wrestling with a profound fear of rejection and a fractured past, life is a constant puzzle. But when an unexpected escape alongside the magnetic, infuriating Meta leads them to a shared, tearful déjà vu at Hua Hin Beach, the puzzle shatters, hinting at a connection that defies explanation and an echo of forgotten emotions.

With time, memory, and reality blurring into a dangerous labyrinth, Thyme must not only confront the shadowy forces that conspired to tear them apart but also decide: is the love he feels for two Metas a cruel echo, a fated reunion spanning lifetimes, or something far more complex? Can he reclaim a lost history, or will the very act of remembering shatter his present and all hope for a future?

WSA Entry* *** Alex, born into the illustrious and undeniably gifted Smith family, was a stark anomaly. While his siblings excelled in everything from music to sports, h e was a blank canvas, utterly talentless. This ostracized him, making him a target for his family's disdain and bullying from his classmates. Finding solace only in the world of anime, Alex retreated into his room, spending days in a state of squalor, fueled by ramen and the fantasy worlds on his screen. One day, while attempting to microwave a plastic container filled with ramen (because even basic kitchen skills were beyond him), the microwave exploded, turning Alex's room into a scene of hilarious destruction. Instead of dying tragically, he finds himself resurrected…in the anime he loved the most, "Swords and Sorcery," a fantastical world brimming with magic and adventure. As Alex, now a fresh-faced young adventurer in this new world, he discovers he can wield the powers of any character from any anime he's ever watched. Suddenly, his days of being mocked for his lack of talent are a distant memory. He can summon the mystical powers of a powerful wizard, the strength of a legendary warrior, or the agility of a skilled ninja. He even discovers he can tap into the magical abilities of characters from lesser-known anime, like a charming witch from a forgotten shoujo series or a cunning strategist from a tactical mecha anime. Armed with his vast anime knowledge and newfound abilities, Alex embarks on a life of self-discovery and adventure. He'll navigate the complexities of this magical world, forge alliances with unlikely heroes, and face off against powerful foes, all while striving to prove his worth and overcome the trauma of his past. But as he dives deeper into this fantastical world, he'll face a new challenge: can he learn to be happy and find his place in this world, free from the shadow of his former life? *** "HAHAHAHAHA! All those useless Isekai animes animes I watched was not for waste after all...Stupid old man! Why don't you laugh at this?"

Nineteen-year-old runaway Lu Ryo, a full-time gamer and gambler, never expected to meet a god while wandering a beach in Kamakura. But when Malea, an in-game deity from Etherveil, the VRMMORPG he despises the most due to its hard game mechanics, offers him an escape from his bleak life. Ryo accepts after realizing that maybe this world wasn't meant for him. And the moment he knew it, he was transported into the world of Etherveil: a layered fantasy world of seven havens, each filled with dungeons and different types of dangerous monsters. A portal to the next haven only appears when the current one is cleared. After character customization, Ryo discovers that his class is an unknown class called "No-Class". Moments later, he and countless players of different nationalities are dropped from the sky into the first haven, Arkanos. As he regains his footing, a glowing NPC in a golden knight avatar descends slowly from the heavens, announcing a grim message: You are not here to play for fun. This is your new reality. It's life or death in this world. And to get out, they need to clear this game. As Ryo embarks on his journey in this new reality, he soon discovers something unexpected—his class, which he thought was useless, can copy other players' skills to an extent. In a world where every choice could mean life or death, this newfound power may be the key to surviving the new reality he now faces.

Xia Yingying was once the epitome of an extremely elegant and gracious lady. Now, she lay there at the bank of the sea looking broken and shattered with bruises on her skin. She was deeply in love with her fiance Tang Qing and treated her best friend Hu Mingyou like a sister. Only to find out now at her death point that they were secret lovers, they caused her family's downfall, made her miscarried beaches they knew she was carrying the child of a powerful and untouchable tycoon___ Lu Quinzue. She made a vow that if she was ever reborn, she would make these two beg for death and make their backers pay tenfolds. ****************** Lu Quinzue was stunned. Never in his life has he met someone as bold as the girl. " What makes you think you're qualified" Lu Quinzue said lazily. " Your grandma likes girls with elegance and temperament that match mine" Xia YingYing continued. " There are two or three candidates with that qualification. Why should I choose you?" Lu Quinzue looked at her sharply. " I can treat your grandma's illness " Xia YingYing said. She didn't want to use this method but then she just has to reveal her identity.

I wake up in this blinding white space — typical Heaven aesthetic — and there’s God, sitting on a cloud like He’s been waiting for me all along. I expected harps, angels, the whole “Welcome to Paradise” deal. Instead, He looks at me and says, straight-faced: “Death retired.” I blink. “Excuse me… what?” “The Grim Reaper, the entity of death? Yep. Retired. Bought a beach house in another dimension. You’ve been chosen to replace them.” At this point, I think I’m hallucinating — bread still stuck in my throat or something. But no, it’s real. I’m now the new Death. And not the spooky skeleton with a scythe — no, I’m basically unreasonably powerful. the Death? Cloak, scythe, creepy skeleton vibe?” "Yeah, but that image's outdated. I have to walk across different worlds — real life, movies, games, comics, anime — all of it. And here’s the kicker: my power? Way too unstable. I don’t just shake someone’s hand and they drop dead — that’d be boring. It’s worse… my thoughts alone can vaporize people. Think “Oops, that guy’s annoying” — poof, he’s gone. Accidentally, imagine blowing up a planet? Say goodbye to that solar system. God leans in, still smiling like this is all normal: “Don’t worry, your mind will need training… lots of it. But you’ll get the hang of it. Also, yes… you can still have friends, relationships… maybe even fall in love.” I stare at Him like He’s insane. “With these powers? You sure?”

Ça sort de nulle part et ça y va tout droit. C'est des histoires, des souvenirs passés, des pleurs et des passions oubliées, des erreurs, des regrets, des plaisirs et des aventures gâchées, des instants qui vivent à jamais. Tout est bien rangé loin dans ma mémoire, sur des étagères infinies. Y'en a des poussiéreuses, y'en a des chamboulées, tout ne sera pas dans l'ordre, tout sera mélangé. Comme un album photo que l'on jette à la benne et qui éparpille partout son contenu aux couleurs fanées. J'arpente seul le couloir sans miroirs de ma psyché : il y a juste des fioles toutes alignées. Je veux juste en mettre quelques-unes sur papier.

They called me Lu Siyan—the cold CEO, the aloof husband of the villainess in some overused female lead novel. But I wasn’t some extra. I wasn’t here to play along. And no, it’s really not because I got thrown out of the office that I ran off to the slums. I just didn’t feel like bowing to a world that already scripted my failure. With nothing but a borrowed suit and a fake ID, I built a company out of lies, sweat, and caffeine. My first batch of employees? Kidnapped—well, hunted—from a third-rate college using a plastic gun. The principal, oddly impressed, muttered, “At least he’s increasing our employment rate…” The office was a mess, so I made it into a simulator. Literally. I built an “Office Worker Simulator” where chaos reigned and productivity thrived. My empire rose from bugs, bugs, and even more bugs. But it worked. Then one day, I saw her—my old boss from my past life, looking exactly the same. Turns out, she’s my biological mother in this world. The same boss who wrung me dry like a used dishcloth… was my actual mom here. I thought I was just born to suffer. Still, a boss is a boss. And a sponsorship is a sponsorship. So I did what any self-respecting fake CEO would do. I made my mom the chairman of my company. And so begins the tale of the slum CEO, the accidental son, and the world’s first “office simulator tycoon.”

Due to a word from the fortune-teller, a wealthy family brought her back from the orphanage. Born at the same time as their biological daughter, Jiang Boyan had been bullied and even beaten up by her adoptive parents since she was young. They had even sent her to a solitary island prison surrounded by seas on all sides. However, her fate changed today. Jiang Boyan met a man in a black suit and a golden tie. He descended from the helicopter like a god of death. His subordinates shot down the criminals and the detestable prison guards on the isolated island, leaving her alone. “You look a lot like her. Want to come with me?” he asked. For the sake of returning to her normal life and for revenge, she held his outstretched hand. He had originally thought that she would only be the substitute for the woman he loved, but little did he expect her to finally discover his secret as they met naked on the beach…

Luo Tiantian sacrifices herself to save Bai Yueguang, only to wake up in the novel her best friend had written as a prank. The best friend of the original owner of this body has gotten plastic surgery to take her place, snatching everything she had. She has even been imprisoned for ten years! To avoid a tragic end, Luo Tiantian clings on to the greatest boss in the novel. After she shoots to fame overnight, the internet is teeming with curses toward her, claiming how she had undergone plastic surgery, was one to put on airs, and was being kept as a mistress… She doesn’t even have any time to respond before the female lead’s lackeys suddenly change their stances. Her eldest brother, a CEO: “She has the Luo Corporation backing her. Miss Luo doesn’t need a sugar daddy.” Luo Tiantian’s expression darkens. “Scram! Don’t provoke me!” Her second brother, a forensic pathologist: “As someone working in forensics, I can confirm that my younger sister is a natural beauty. She’s never had any plastic surgery done.” Luo Tiantian sneered. “Who are you?” The movie star: “Tiantian, you’re my fiancée. How could you live with another man?” Luo Tiantian stares at that stupid face. “You?” - The moment she returns home, Luo Tiantian tones down immediately. Her boss glances at Luo Tiantian with what seems like a smile. “An orphan?” Luo Tiantian nods innocently. “Yes, my entire family’s dead. I’m the only one left.” Her boss raises his eyebrow. “A fiancé?” Luo Tiantian quickly shakes her head. “No, no. That’s nothing more than a rumor. You’re the only one in my heart!” - From then on, the big boss undergoes a drastic change and becomes henpecked. He gazes at her affectionately. “Little friend, you’re toxic, but you’re my antidote.”
