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?'

The Night Has Come, and kermesinus moon ascends in the sky. Hoarse whispers flow at the street corners, and brass steam machines spew out bloody mist. Your brain is singing a hymn, eyes are chanting a melody. Skin cracks, and flesh buds swell. Amidst the Mist, the wall of flesh that has devoured thousands of corpses wails endlessly— "Weep not, our players don't bite, they just want to play with you." Annan, the lone strategist, the top player, the savior of the mist-covered continent, the leader of the Thirteen Saints, the friend of the Twelve True Gods, the king of pioneers, "the Just", the Gatekeeper of the Fourth Calamity, the uncrowned deity, advised kindly.

Kaito Raizen was just an ordinary high school boy who dreamed of being the mastermind pulling the strings behind the scenes. Ever since childhood, he admired both heroes and villains, but he never wanted to be either. Instead, he envisioned himself as the unseen hand that pushes both sides to their limits, making their struggles more entertaining for him. In the world he lives in, however, that dream seems impossible. Despite years of hard training and studying, Kaito has only managed to become average, able to score decently on his tests and beat up a mafia boss on his own. But controlling the world? He hasn’t even come close. What if an entire battalion shows up? He’d be dead in seconds. But just as it seemed like his ambitions would never be realized, fate—or rather, the heavens—answered his prayers. Kaito is reincarnated into a new world, with all his memories intact. Now, armed with a new chance and magic, he’ll bend this world to his will.

[Fake Aristocrat + Empress Regnant + Identity Concealment + Charisma + Nation-building + Personal Growth] Luo Wei has transmigrated. She finds herself in the body of a lowborn commoner who had impersonated a noble lady to enter school. She's about to be exposed as a commoner, facing contempt and insults from the entire school, and ultimately destined to be hanged at the marketplace gallows. Luo Wei: What's there to fear? It's just pretending to be nobility. As someone from the 21st century, she can act more noble than the nobles themselves! When a noble lady tries to test her with expensive spices, Luo Wei takes one look: Aren't these just common seasonings found everywhere in Western cuisine? As if she's never tasted them before! They say she's a commoner who can't do geometry? Luo Wei smiles slightly: Isn't it just trigonometric functions? She learned that in middle school! What? They say she's poor and has no money? She casually produces an entire bolt of silk fabric to make pajamas, and while she's at it, makes a chest full of silk handkerchiefs, using them once and tossing them away. They say she has no fief and isn't a true noble? Hah! She makes money by day and reclaims land by night. While attending school, she's busy cultivating land. Soon, millions of square kilometers of fertile soil in the New World are all hers. She establishes her own country and ennobles herself! Finally, her identity is exposed by an old acquaintance. The Holy Church wants to put her on trial, presenting evidence that she's not a noble - they couldn't find her patent of nobility in the Mist Kingdom. Luo Wei: A noble title? Sorry, she indeed doesn't have one. Because she is the Empress Regnant of the Mist Kingdom! In the end, she abolishes the aristocratic system, establishes a new country, and becomes a deity in the hearts of countless commoners.

"As the Supreme Commander of The Wall, my duty is clear: to hold back the threats from the south—mutant monsters, ogres, cyclops, or... hopefully not... the return of the orcs. The kings and lords of Middle Earth do not care. To them, we are just a bunch of 'Outcasts,' exiled criminals and soldiers pushed to the margins. That’s fine. It's better if they stay out of our way. Corrupt politicians rarely care about real security." He looks down at the Outcast barracks below, where the central headquarters commands the entire Wall, separating the south from the main continent. Wisps of smoke rise from the kitchens, carrying the scent of salty, stale soup. The Outcasts atone for their sins or suppress their grief through dangerous missions in exchange for a few gold coins, following the rigorous standards set long ago. Such is life at The Wall. "I, Oldman, am not a religious man. But I interpret the legacy of past eras as a reminder: The world has never truly been at peace. The evil forces of all ages—fragments, orcs, or dragons—will always lurk. Humans, dwarves, elves, whoever they may be, could end up killing each other, driven by cunning deceit. And now, the only barrier holding back the southern threat is The Wall... and us, the Outcasts. Perhaps history will remember us as nameless heroes, or perhaps it will forget us. But as long as I stand here, I will not allow the monsters from the south and other darknesses to spread across the continent again." "I am Oldman... 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."

"Elysium of the Fallen" is a novella in the mecha genre. A post-apocalyptic, scorched world, philosophy, psychology, sadness, melancholy, depression, and >. Well, originally I planned to write some light-hearted novella with the usual "system" and harem, but... I will never allow myself to create something... like that. So, there won’t be any systems, harems, or Mary Sue characters here (well, I’ll at least try). Anyway, I’ll try to release chapters... as often as possible (considering that I’ll be writing two stories at once). If you don’t like something, don’t throw things at me, just write it and I’ll try to improve... well, that’s it... Good luck to everyone, thanks to those who will read, and I’m off to read a biblical apocryphon and drink my eighth espresso. Ciao!

I was on my way to meet my mate, Alpha Rick from Death-whisper Pack, when the tragedy happened. That night, my heart pounded as I made my way through the dense forest surrounding Howlton. My werewolf’s instinct surely knew that there were mysterious creatures that followed me secretly, but I ignored it. I was too consumed by jealousy when I found out that my mate was spending the night with his ex-lover, an Omega from Riverstone Pack, Lousiana. As a result, the creature attacked me easily and I ended up being killed by a silver dagger. I desperately tried to link Rick, but as a neglected mate, he ignored me and thought that I was doing that to catch his attention. After all, he was too focused on his intimate meeting with Lousiana. In the end I still couldn’t fight even though I had shapeshifted and ended up getting killed without anyone knowing.

For I am the Teller of Tales, and the Weaver of Dreams.
