"You got it wrong. What you needed wasn’t money. They do it to you. Yeah, that was basically it. What you really needed was... support. Care. Love. You need to grow up. And understand that money means everything — and nothing. Because the things you chase? They can vanish in the blink of an eye. You should know that by now." ---- Nova was only fourteen when the world first called her special. A song, a screen, and a million views later — she was the girl with the voice, the face, the future. But nobody warned her about the price of becoming someone. As fame wrapped its glittering hands around her life, Nova let go of the people who mattered most — her family, her friends… and Caleb, the only one who ever saw the real her. With each red carpet and fake smile, her soul faded, and the dream she once chased turned into a prison she built with her own hands. By twenty-two, she had it all. By twenty-three, she lost everything. Now at twenty-six, Nova is done pretending. This is not a story about a pop star. It’s a story about growing up too fast, losing yourself too easily, and finding your way back — when no one’s watching. A raw, emotional, and unfiltered tale of identity, healing, and the slow, painful beauty of rediscovery. ---

A word of advice for surviving a place like Schroon Falls: If a ghost offers you a job, take the money. The dead, after all, are famously bad with paperwork. Just be careful. In a town of crumbling manors and modernist cubes, every shadow has an angle and every echo has an agenda. The most convincing hauntings aren’t about the ghosts themselves, but about the person they’ve chosen to speak through. Sanity is negotiable. Rent is not.

Nadine McKenzie is a young executive at one of the top companies in L.A. Due to her workaholic tendencies, she was forced to take a vacation. Unfortunately, the vacation she never even wanted ended in disaster when she woke up in a hotel room next to a handsome man she didn’t recognize. Panicked, Nadine immediately fled the scene. Months later, just when life was getting back to normal, Nadine received news that turned her world upside down, she was pregnant. And the father of the baby? None other than a famous lead singer of a popular band. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he also happened to be everything Nadine swore she’d avoid in a man: a notorious playboy.

I have to keep my difficulties within because that is the only way I can physically prevent myself from trying to commit suicide. Is it not preferable to be physically dead but mentally dead? I am currently accustomed to being mentally dead, and no one would know unless I made an effort to tell them otherwise. If being deported means leaving this world, I should keep my true emotions and personality hidden from this world and act as if everything is well when it is not. Verbally, emotionally, physically, and mentally. My entire identity was ruined. My understanding of reality was destroyed.

The Moment I Realized I Wasn’t the Main Character. “You were always the protagonist. I was the consequence.” The Side Character’s POV.

The Qilin's Descendant that stops the destruction of the world at the hands of the Four Evil Omens with the Four Sacred Beast Guardians. The Vampire Princess that prevents the Blood Lord from a war with the humans. The Onmyoji Genius who stops the evil demons from invading the world. I am none of these people. I am the friend character of these three protagonists and this is my story. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Come follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/DXHaseoXD Discord: https://discord.gg/BGrNgsbXXG

For an entire year, he was consumed by the tragic tales of a world doomed to collapse-again and again. But when he turned the final page, he realized... He had been pulled into that very world.

But this world doesn't want to be saved. The story has already been written. The ending is already set. And if becoming a killer is the only way back-so be it.

I seem to have gotten transmigrated into a novel, yet the only benefit I get is tinnitus. Wait a minute, why do I have an inventory? I've always wondered what would happen if the main character was just a bit more creative with his inventory. Storing villains hearts with a simple tap, placing deadly poison inside of people by lightly slapping them, the solution to all my worries is to abuse the inventory!

[WSA ENTRY 2025] ... "There is no god, only the echo of our fears, bound together in a symphony of false hope, woven to make this endless cycle of pain bearable... But I refuse to be just another note in their song. I will not be silenced to protect the gate you so desperately uphold. I don’t care for the blind masses; they are but shadows, moving without purpose. If I cannot run, I will walk. If I cannot walk, I will crawl. If I cannot crawl, I will roll. And if all that remains of me is a severed head, then I will still glare at you with the scorn of the relentless." ... In a world where Hunters fight to keep humanity safe from monstrous invasions, Timothy Walter is nothing more than an E-rank weakling, expendable, powerless, and barely surviving. That changes when a forgotten dungeon forces him into a deadly trial, awakening ancient rulers from across races. Bound to the weakest among them, he inherits a power unlike any other: "King Player." Now, with a system that defies all logic, Timothy must carve his path, facing enemies both human and monstrous, as he ascends from the lowest depths to claim a throne none believed he could reach. AUTHORS NOTE: I put it under a restricted audience because of the following reasons; There is a huge amount of blood and gore meaning a lot of action and adventure. An equally adequate amount of romance with a pinch of R18 just to emphasize the points. Don't take the world-building to heart; Nigeria is better than that Kinda... If you survive the first volume, then keep it up after dropping your thoughts in reviews. I upload 1500+ words per chapter, and that means I may not participate in many chapter giveaways except when milestones are reached. Again, I appreciate your advice, thoughts, and criticism even more. The synopsis will keep changing as the story progresses. And yes, It's the familiar hunter's trope spun around in my head because I love the solo leveling light novel, so... have a fun read, I hope.

An ordinary man dieing inside from a life spent working a dead end job goes to bed one Saturday morning after a binge session of a new season of an anime, and some gaming. While sleeping he dreams he gets messages granting him three wishes before being transmigrated into an anime version of Earth. This is his story as he lives out a new life in an anime world. ...………………………… But is it even real? Or is it all just some fever dream, maybe comatose delusions? But more importantly: Does it matter? Is everything he experiences any less real if he's only dreaming or in a coma? .................................... So I plan for this book to be fairly light-hearted but also tackle some deep questions at some point. There will be some cringe moments- including chuni AF moments. This could also be considered a fan fiction with elements from several animes and games being introduced either as part of the system the MC has or as things from the system. I might have some characters from different anime games movies or books popping up. Uploads may be slow, as I write the chapters on paper before typing them to post and because I write for fun, my daily life will effect the schedule.

So, you think you've got life all figured out? Well, imagine waking up in the body of a third-rate villain from a novel you once scoffed at. That's exactly what happens to your not-so-average high school student turned reluctant anti-hero. Picture this: transmigrate into the body of a suspended student from school, banished from his noble family, and now trapped in a world where magic reigns supreme and destiny calls the shots. Oh, and did I mention he's got a one-way ticket back to reality? All he has to do is complete a series of tasks to fix the messed-up storyline. Easy, right? Hell no!! But hold on a second. This ain't your typical hero's journey. Chris isn't exactly the noble, tragic figure you'd expect. Nope, he's more of a sarcastic, self-aware protagonist who's not afraid to ask the real questions. Like, why bother with destiny when you can't even get your morning coffee right? Or how about facing your past mistakes when you can just blame it on the plot? And don't even get me started on trying to outsmart fate itself. As Chris stumbles through this twisted tale of magic and mayhem, he's forced to confront his own shortcomings, forge unlikely alliances, and maybe—just maybe—find a way back to the life he left behind. But with every sarcastic quip and sardonic remark, he's also asking you, the reader, to join him on this wild ride. So, buckle up, because in a world where reality is just a plot twist away, Chris Harrison is about to rewrite the rules and show destiny who's really in charge.
