With a pair of divine eyes, he gained the ability to see through things and sense objects. He bought a gourd bottle for 500 yuan at a flea market and sold it for 230,000 yuan. A painting he casually bought turned out to be a genuine work by Xu Beihong, worth thirty to forty million yuan. The black double-eared bottle that came with the purchase of a set of gold jewelry turned out to be a genuine possession of the Ming imperial family. Ancient bronze ware, exquisitely crafted porcelain, calligraphy and painting with bold and vigorous strokes, and thrilling gambling stones came one after another. From then on, Li Mo's life underwent a revolutionary change. "I have divine eyes, and there are no treasures in the world that can escape my sight."

If survival of the fittest was once humanity's anthem, silence now reigns. The Aud have driven humanity's remnants to huddle like mice in their final bastion. In a gamble, a nobody embarks on an impossible mission: time travel. Nine hundred years in the past, she finds herself hunted by survivor's guilt and the Aud who followed. In this pre-collapse world, where humanity's anthem is still survival but the seeds of its coming evisceration wait to sprout, she is alone. Between an apex predator with everything to gain and a human with everything to lose, a race to rewrite human destiny has begun.

Kazuki was a loner, an ordinary young man who lived in the shadow of the world, always unnoticed and disconnected from those around him. Life passed him by in the mundane, without excitement or companionship, until a mysterious force pulled him into a new world—a sprawling ancient fantasy realm teeming with magic, supernatural forces, and powerful beings beyond imagination. At first, Kazuki was full of hope, thinking he’d finally been given the opportunity for something greater. However, this new world was no paradise. Betrayed by those he trusted, abandoned to die in a brutal struggle for survival, Kazuki faced his darkest moment... but death wasn’t the end. Reborn with a new awareness, Kazuki returned to life in this strange world, stronger and wiser than before. No longer the passive, trusting soul he once was, he has now become something much more dangerous—a man with a new resolve and a thirst for power. His once-lonely existence is filled with purpose, and now he walks a darker path. Vengeance burns in his heart as he begins his quest to discover the truth behind his betrayal and the mysteries of this world. Kazuki is not alone in this journey. By his side is Seraphina, a cunning and ruthless slime with the ability to shift between forms. Her cute and playful nature hides her true potential in battle—where she’s ruthless and terrifying, able to absorb, copy, and steal the abilities of those she faces, making her an indispensable companion. Together, they form a dangerous duo, each feeding off the other's hunger for power. The world Kazuki now inhabits is unlike any he’s ever known. This ancient realm is divided into multiple regions, each filled with unique magic, supernatural beings, and towering cities lost to time. From towering wizards who command the elements, to warriors blessed by the gods, and strange creatures of myth that lurk in forgotten lands, this world is a place where the strong survive, and the weak perish. Magic and superpowers flow through the veins of the land, shaping the lives of its inhabitants. Ancient mysteries lie hidden within the ruins of lost civilizations, where powerful relics and long-forgotten spells await those bold enough to uncover them. But Kazuki soon learns that he is not the only one who has been summoned to this realm. Other powerful individuals from various worlds—be they summoned heroes, legendary warriors, or gods cast down from their celestial thrones—are brought here either by fate, chance, or force. Some arrive with dreams of conquest, while others merely seek a way home. These Isekai-ed warriors hold powers that could shatter the very fabric of reality, and Kazuki will face them in battles for survival, alliances, and dominance. As Kazuki delves deeper into this strange and brutal world, he discovers an unknown power lying dormant within him—an ability that no one, not even the gods of this world, fully understands. With each battle, his strength grows, and the dark potential within him starts to awaken, making him a force to be reckoned with. He and Seraphina are drawn into a web of interdimensional conflicts, where beings from other worlds clash for control, power, or simply survival. Kazuki’s rebirth grants him not only a second chance but a path to becoming something far greater—perhaps even the one who could reshape this world, or destroy it. With new companions, formidable foes, and hidden powers, Kazuki must navigate a dangerous world filled with supernatural forces, treacherous alliances, and ancient secrets. Will he rise to become the master of his destiny, or will he fall once again, betrayed by those who seek to control his newfound power? In this world of magic, gods, and monsters, only the strongest will survive—and Kazuki is determined to claim his place among them.

What would you do if you found yourself trapped in a video game as an NPC with seemingly no hope of returning to the real world? Having grown up without parents, Daisuke finds himself in a perpetual cycle of poverty as he tries to survive in the bottom rung of society. When the world's first VRMMORPG, Sehreneti Online, is released to the public, he decides to take a gamble by borrowing a buttload of money from some shady people to propel his hack-selling side hustle into the big leagues. After nearly getting his leg twisted into a pretzel for failing to pay off his loan on time, Daisuke decides to put his plan, Operation Jupiter, into action. Although a cool-sounding name, he didn't seem to be in Lady Luck's good graces that day. After uploading the code into his capsule and commencing the startup, everything goes haywire, booting his consciousness into the virtual world. When Daisuke comes to, he finds himself as a newborn fresh out the meat oven—and, of course, his circumstances are far from ideal. Apparently, he is still poor, but instead of being an orphan, he is now the son of a prostitute in the slums, with seemingly no connection to the game system or the real world. How will Daisuke overcome this trial, and will he be able to return to the real world?

I had a supporting role in a modern fantasy. The loyal dog of a villain with an angel’s name, Cheon Sa-yeon, and an unfortunate supporting character who died on his behalf, Han Yi-gyeol. In order to escape from Cheon Sa-yeon and survive, he must use the protagonist, Ha Tae-heon. But Ha Tae-heon, who he thought of as a lifeline, was infinitely indifferent to him. Rather, Cheon Sa-yeon showed interest. But besides that, something strange happened. The events that occurred in the original story had advanced, and the gate and monster levels had risen. Even the people were “different” from the original. The original version I was trying to use was wrong. --- Disclaimer: The content presented here is not authored by me.

Il tempo non si può fermare. Tu sì, ma non lui. La vita continua. Ricomincia, si muove, va avanti, senza guardare in faccia nessuno. E tu, sei in grado di farlo senza guardarti alle spalle? Quando il passato diviene cenere ciò che puoi fare è costruirci sopra, che sia poi fatto coi pugni stretti ed i nervi tesi, il futuro che ti aspetta. Pieno di pericoli, di sfide, di fughe, di guai, di corse, di nuovi problemi e di nuove minacce a cui non sai dare un nome. Fra segreti svelati e nuove realtà misteriose non sempre si ha la soluzione, se non la morte su cui basavi le tue vecchie idee. Proprio là, dove si fermava sia la ragione che il suo contrario. E se il tempo non si può fermare neanche la resa dal passato lo può fare. Rimane solo da far fronte ad ogni cosa che ci si parerà davanti. E tu, sei in grado di farlo senza averne paura? @copyright,tutti i diritti riservati

O sei vittima o carnefice. Per il mondo, o sei bianco, o sei nero. Resta a te la scelta. Ma, tutti si macchiano. Chi col sangue e chi col senso di colpa. Veniamo costruiti da pensieri, azioni, verità e bugie. Quale tra queste è riconducibile alla vera realtà di noi stessi? Ogni vita ha il proprio peso ed ogni errore ha la sua conseguenza. Solo obbligandoti ad affrontare la realtà puoi andare avanti. E se non lo fai tu, tocca farlo ad un giudice. Quando ti ritrovi in un posto dove ciò che hai fatto ti viene messo su un tavolo non puoi nasconderti dietro alla negazione. Bisogna affrontare ciò che rimane. Ovvero te stesso, il freddo e la polvere di una cella. Fra vendette, bugie, verità, finzione, giustizia, sbarre, sbagli, colpe, manipolazioni, violenze, ideologie e segreti, tutto condurrà ad un'unica realtà dei fatti. Angeli dannati in cerca di emozioni e demoni disperati in cerca di pace. Lei, vittima del pericolo. Lui, vittima del crimine. ©copyright,tutti i diritti riservati

After a catastrophic encounter with destruction left him scarred, Z became bound to the Ladder, a nightmarish construct governed by gods, entities, and unnameable existences. The rules are simple: climb or perish. Each rung brings Z closer to unfathomable truths—and further into danger. Among Climbers with extraordinary powers and sinister agendas, Z must move in treacherous alliances, decode the cryptic whispers of the gods, and face scenarios designed to test the limits of sanity. But as lies swirl and the unknown beckons, Z realizes something darker than survival lies at the Ladder’s peak: an answer to the scars he bears, the truth of his cursed path, and a confrontation with the incomprehensible forces pulling the strings. In a world where trust is as fleeting as the air you breathe, Z must embrace the Chaos within to become what he was destined to be—the Warden of Chaos. Enter a realm where lies are currency, and survival is the ultimate gamble.

Dragged into the depths of Gehenna along with what was left of mankind, Adam finds himself trapped in a once virtual world of inconceivable horrors, living an existence where survival is a privilege to few and a cruel gamble to many. Within this depraved new world of demons, manic torment, and endless suffering, Adam must face not only the diabolical enemies that naturally plague him but also his own failing sanity. As Adam struggles to thrive in this world, he discovers an unsettling anomaly. Every time he dies, he stumbles back to life, but not within his own body but in that of another unsuspecting sinner down in hell with him, almost like lady death was granting him a pardon, a reprieve from the undesirable permanence of death. With each return to life, the lines between his own identity and that of those he takes over begin to blur, his own name and image eventually being forgotten and left to the cruel hands of time as he is drawn deeper into the chaos of the circles of hell's design. Bearing the name of the first man, made in God's own image, favoured by him, Adam finds his existence to be brutal irony, as his life is nothing short of all but favourable. While everything around him is condemned to the permanence of the judging hands of death, Adam remains a living paradox, a varied constant that is cursed with the means to remain persistent in a hellscape that allows none to escape. As the Atrocities of his now lived existence, Adam must make a decision: Is immortality in hell truly a blessing or damnation? -- It's worth it, up til chapter 16 at the very least -- add 'playing with hexes' on discord if you want to be added to the server
