The Neon Dragonfly

In the neon-drenched slums of Galvaris Prime, survival isn’t just a struggle—it’s an art. Sol, a resourceful young tech scavenger, has spent his life outsmarting gangsters, corrupt enforcers, and the ever-watchful eyes of the megacorporations that rule the city. But when a job goes wrong, he finds himself on the run, caught in a web of secrets far larger than he ever imagined. With only his wits, his skills, and an experimental system whispering in his mind, Sol must navigate a world where power is everything, and those without it are left to rot. The deeper he delves into the underbelly of the city, the clearer it becomes—his past, his future, and his very existence may hold more value than he ever realized. To break free, he’ll need to become more than just another forgotten remnant of the slums. (Usually post 3 chapter every night, sometimes more)

In Neon Mirage, a city where the neon lights never dim and the corporations own your soul, I, Ryker Bale, was just another corporate drone at NeuroTech Dynamics—until I got fired. Not for incompetence, mind you, but because of a little brain implant called the CogniSync Processor. Supposed to make me a data-crunching god, but instead? It started showing me things. Glitching reality, lines of code floating at the edges of my vision like some twisted developer’s notes on my life. Now, jobless, broke, and questioning reality itself, I find myself tangled in a web of cyber-gangs, underground syndicates, and corporate conspiracies. One drunken night leads to a chance encounter with Skaya, a woman with cybernetic eyes and too many secrets. And Danny—my old friend—seems to be in deep with people you don’t cross if you like your limbs attached. Between shootouts, high-speed chases, and cryptic messages hidden in the very fabric of the city, I’m realizing something disturbing: my brain implant isn’t just malfunctioning—it’s showing me something I was never supposed to see. The deeper I dig, the more dangerous it gets. And in a place like Neon Mirage, the line between man and machine is razor-thin—just like my chances of making it out of this alive.

After transmigration, Lin Yue could hear a voice whispering in his ear every day, sharing all sorts of secrets with him. Small matters like the thoughts of the girl next door, to great mysteries like the secrets of the heavens, the voice persisted daily, broadcasting randomly. He originally wanted to live an unremarkable life, but in this world of Xianxia dynasties where mortals are considered as insignificant as weeds, the fate of an ordinary man without power is no longer in his own hands. Thus, he had no choice but to stop being 'just a person'. 'Your Majesty the Empress, you wouldn't want your secret of treason to be revealed by others, right?'

"It's not just a game, it's a living breathing world and we are his puppets." Teo barked. With the beta version of the new game now finished, the beta testers wait for the official launch of the game. With the official launch of the game more people are sucked into its virtual world, what sets Neon Solaris apart from other games is it's unique party system. With only the beta testers knowing the horrors the games provide, uncertainty grows. Death in the game could also mean death in the real world. What started as a massive multiplayer game becomes a prison created by a sadistic being. Matteo finished the beta tester as the top ranked player- NOBLE ZERO, but even he failed to get a grasp of it's true reality. Clearing the final level might be the only way out of the game and he is intent on building the strongest party and reach the final level at all costs and achieve the title of master gamer. A/N: This book relies on gaming elements and diverse character developments as well as a unique party system. If you are tired of simple mmorpg books then this might be a good read. There might also be some light humour and some other elements like darker plots and tragic backstories. Also the MC is not overpowered or a hero, he is a somewhat sadistic antihero. I will be trying my best to make this book the best it can be.

In a world that has cast us out, we stand amidst the darkness. We have no land, no name, only this path. We are the shadows behind this wall. We are the forgotten guardians of the world. We are the Outcasts, and we will endure, or die on our path.

They say myths are just myths, but in the world of unnatural myths are everything. I've always seen the unnatural, I seen two worlds in one, labeled crazy I kept it a secret, until the day I was stolen from my home and forced to learn the ways of living with the unnatural.

I don’t even believe in heaven, even though it occasionally shows up in my nightmares.

The only game in my life that makes me laugh: The Lands of The Lunerra... I played this game for six thousand hours in three years, and the day I thought I had done everything I could in this game, I felt a great emptiness inside me. I thought nothing in my ordinary and monotonous life could make me happier than when I played this game. But it didn't take long for me to realize that I was wrong with an e-mail I received the night I finished the game. ---- Hi! Thank you to everyone who came to read this story. There are two things I want to tell you. First of all, I first started writing this about two years ago, but I was writing in my native language, Turkish, and on a different site. But unfortunately, the website where I published the series came to the brink of collapse. While I was thinking about where to publish the series, I remembered Webnovel and here I am. So this is my first English novel and I believe I will make mistakes while translating. Please forgive me for these if you encounter some of them. I will do my best. Second... yes, while writing this novel I was inspired by most of the novels I've read so far. Like TNE, that novel is a pure diamond for me and I don't think I will ever reach the level of that thing. So I want to say the first few chapters may feel familiar to you, but I'll do my best to smooth it out. Discord: https://discord.gg/eRZTrv6Y49

In a world where strength dictates fate, humanity clings to survival on a single supercontinent, the last bastion against the horrors of the Rift Cataclysm. The ten great nations, ruled by noble families and the government, control all access to power. For an Awakened, independence is nearly impossible—without backing, they are destined to be weak. The Hunter Academy, a government-funded institution, claims to train future warriors, but in reality, it serves as a battlefield where potential Awakened are scouted, controlled, or eliminated before they can challenge the established order. Adam, a man unlike any other, enters this world of power struggles. He is neither a pawn nor a willing participant in the noble families' games. With a past shrouded in mystery and strength beyond comprehension, he walks his own path—calm, methodical, and unstoppable. As secrets unravel and enemies rise, Adam will show the world that true power cannot be chained.

He appeared in a blink of an eye. I didn't see him when my eyes were reading the dress code and the people. Either he fell from the sky or just teleported here.

My eyes followed him, as he was getting closer in my direction.

I'm not sure exactly where this story will go, but if you want a story that isn't one of those harem, power fantasy type stories, then you've come to the right place. The only hope I have is to bring a story to life; not just about fireballs and whatnot, but also about the life, scenery, and people of a fantasy world. Idk if that sounds cliche, but that's the general idea I have for this story. I'll modify that statement to better explain this whole shebang as we move along. I'll also be developing the world, too; it'd be pretty awesome to have something on the side, like a bestiary type list of creatures and plants and materials, people, cultures, and whatnot--something along the lines of a fictional 'The Travels' by Marco Polo. My minimum word count per chapter is around 1,200 words. Of course, word count will vary between chapters, but 1,200 is just the minimum I've created for myself. That number will probably grow as my writing skills develop and I find my 'writing voice'. This is a complete passion project I've started again in the midst of a very busy time of my life; I can't promise any scheduling, but nonetheless, I think it'll be a fun ride for all of us, if a bit bumpy lol. Thank you for taking the time to check out my book! I hope you enjoy it :)
