“You know, I’ve met death. Rather polite, actually. But it doesn’t knock, just lets himself in.” Life. That fleeting flicker between two eternities of silence. People spend it chasing things—money, love, validation, a good seat on the train. They build empires of paper, relationships of glass, and sleep each night under the illusion that tomorrow has been promised. But it hasn’t. It never was. Death doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t care if you’re a king or a child. It arrives like an old friend, or a thief, or worse—like something you invited in. And yet… every now and then, the universe hiccups. A soul slips through. A crack opens. A second life is born—not as a reward, no, but as a test. Because what could be more dangerous than a man who's seen how the story ends—and comes back knowing exactly what not to do? But here’s the rub: a second chance is not a reset. It’s a curse with velvet gloves. You remember the pain, the loss, the betrayal—and worst of all, the choices you didn’t make. So when someone tells you this is just a story about life and death, smile politely. In many cases—in most cases—you’ll hear stories of heroes rising from the ashes, grateful for their second breath. However… in my case? I wanted to be the villain. To see a different end to this story. People say a person’s nature is hard to change. That deep down, we are who we are. But I changed... simply because I was curious. --------------- Join the discord server. https://discord.gg/BaP4c8b8Vq

*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　 Masashi was a celebrated writer in his world-respected, admired, and known for crafting stories that touched countless lives. But everything changed one ordinary evening. On his way home to his apartment, Masashi suddenly lost consciousness. When he awoke, he found himself in an unfamiliar place-a world straight out of the very fantasy novels he used to write. At first, he couldn't believe it. Magic, medieval cities, and strange creatures surrounded him. It felt unreal. Struggling to make sense of his situation, Masashi chose to stay in the shadows, avoiding contact with others. He had no idea how or why he was brought here. No memories of a summoning. No gods, no explanations-just questions. Now, in a world full of mystery, danger, and wonder, Masashi embarks on a quiet journey to uncover the truth of his arrival... and maybe, just maybe, write a new story-his own. *･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

For those of you reading this, I'm a novelist, a writer, call me what you will. I love creating stories, but I've always wondered what would happen if I ever found myself stuck in a world of my own making. To be honest, I usually dislike the romance genre, but right now, I'm writing one of them—or am I? This is a twisted tale of a person who is about to experience unimaginable suffering for the rest of their life. Let's see what it brings to our hearts; it should be interesting. If you have the courage to stick with it until the end, please do. Akira Tsukihara is a struggling romance novelist trapped in a cycle of churning out saccharine, uninspired stories. Her life in a sweltering Japanese apartment is already a constant battle with mediocrity, a struggle compounded by her eerie building security guard and demanding editor. Akira secretly loathes the fluffy, unrealistic tales she churns out, feeling her soul dwindle with every clichéd happy ending she pens. But then, a shockwave hits her stagnant routine. Her latest novel, "The Fallen Kingdom of Seraphis"—a story she finally thought was getting somewhere—suddenly faces a copyright infringement lawsuit. The accusation? It's an blatant copy of an older, popular novel. Her editor, a bumbling, self-absorbed bear of a man, abandons her, leaving Akira to fight an seemingly insurmountable legal team alone. A mixture of anger, disbelief, and a desperate need to prove her innocence compels Akira to reluctantly begin reading the allegedly plagiarized work, "Hearts Bound in Starlight and Ruin." As she delves deeper into its pages, far more sinister events begin to unfold. Strange phenomena plague her apartment, from drastic temperature drops in the middle of summer and inexplicable buffering screens to an unsettling feeling of being watched. Then, a blinding light erupts from her laptop, consuming her whole. Akira awakens in a world reeking of mud, misery, and medieval despair. Her body is no longer her own but that of a gaunt, oddly white-haired young peasant girl. The horrifying reality dawns on her: she hasn't simply been transported to another world; she has been reincarnated into the very story she detested—a world that reflects the harsh realities she unintentionally created. Her forced fantasy has become a terrifying new reality. Can she survive the stark, unromantic world she unconsciously penned? Or is this the ultimate punishment for a writer who loathed her own creations?

"Pernahkah terbesit dalam benakmu, apa yang sesungguhnya terjadi pasca-kematian? Menurut ajaran agama, jiwa manusia akan dikirim menuju alam akhirat—sebuah alam ruhani atau alam jiwa. Di sana, jiwa akan diadili berdasarkan setiap perbuatan semasa hidupnya; jiwa yang dipenuhi kebaikan akan membuahkan surga, tempat di mana keindahan, kedamaian, dan kenikmatan tak terbayangkan menanti. Sementara jiwa yang berlumur kejahatan akan disiksa di neraka, suatu tempat dengan api menyala dan panas membara yang akan menghukum pendosa dengan siksaan yang amat pedih. Itulah keyakinan yang mengakar, sebuah siklus takdir yang konon tak terelakkan. Namun, bagi Kylie Minogue, seorang penulis ternama yang karya-karyanya mengukir namanya di puncak popularitas, garis takdir itu justru terhapus. Saat ajal menjemput, jiwanya, entah mengapa, dirinya tidak diadili di dunia akhirat untuk mengukur amal baik atau buruknya. Sebaliknya, jiwa penulis itu terlepas, melayang bebas menembus batas-batas sistem tata surya, menuju kehampaan kosmik yang tak terjamah. Namun Kini, setelah jiwanya terlepas dari segala hukum fisika dan metafisika, apa yang menanti jiwa seorang author di hamparan kehampaan itu? Petualangan kosmik macam apa yang akan membentang di hadapannya? Dan, akankah ia menemukan tujuan baru dalam eksistensinya yang melampaui kematian, atau justru tersesat abadi dalam narasi tak terbatas semesta?" ikuti kisahnya hanya di novel ini!!!

Dane Harper's life was a monotonous grind. Stuck in a soul-sucking 9-to-9 job with barely any time to breathe, his only escape was the world of visual novels. From anime to manga, light novels to webnovels, Dane had consumed it all, but nothing compared to his ultimate obsession: Harem, Dragons, and Deities (HDXD). This legendary visual novel was a masterpiece of high fantasy, packed with detailed lore, jaw-dropping twists, and, of course, an insane harem of monster girls and powerful women. Dane had spent nearly 7,000 hours playing it, chasing every ending possible, especially the legendary [Overlord of Humanity Ending], where the protagonist builds a massive harem and spreads his superior genes across the HDXD universe. But when a cosmic accident caused by a mischievous witch-in-training, Beatrice, wipes out the entire human universe, Dane's life takes an unexpected turn. As the first soul to be reincarnated, Dane is offered two wishes by Beatrice: a world of his choosing and a fragment of her power. Without hesitation, Dane chooses the world of HDXD, a place he knows inside and out, and a unique ability to help him survive: the Omni Harem System. This system not only helps him level up and gain unique powers but also guides him in building the ultimate harem. Now, reborn as some random extra of this hellish game, Dane is ready to live out his wildest fantasies. His life goal, walk over the MC, and replace him... But this isn't just a game anymore; it's real life, and the stakes are higher than ever. From battling dragons and deities to navigating the complex personalities of the women around him, Dane must use his knowledge of HDXD and his new powers to carve out his destiny without getting curve stomp by the overpowered people around him. But let's be real, becoming the Overlord of Humanity isn’t going to be a walk in the park. This is HDXD we’re talking about; a world where one wrong move can lead to a bad ending so messed up it'll haunt your dreams. As such, every step towards that ending requires heart, commitment, and sheer will, and you best believe Dane is aiming for that ending at all costs.

Nobody suspects the perfect husband. Especially not his loyal wife, who has a secret of her own she’s willing to take the fall for every murder he commits. Together, they play a deadly game of deception. But as Nelson’s hunger grows and his kills become bolder, the web of lies begins to unravel. Now, a relentless detective is closing in. The lines between fiction and reality blur. And Nelson must decide: will he remain the puppet master of his perfect crime or become the tragic ending of his own story? One mistake could expose him. One loose thread could hang them both. And the next chapter might be his last.

Amethyst never asked to be part of a world carved from bullets and blood. Sold by her father to a cold, powerful mafia boss — Luciano Valeri — she expected a life of fear, silence, and chains. What she didn’t expect was the war between his brutal coldness and the quiet, burning love he tried to bury beneath it. Luciano was dangerous. Distant. A man raised to never love what he couldn’t control. But with Amethyst, control slipped — and love, fierce and possessive, bloomed in the cracks of their ruin. As the two are forced into a volatile marriage, what begins as hatred simmers into slow-burning obsession, reluctant loyalty… and then, a love that threatens to break them both. But the past never dies easily — and when betrayal strikes from within, Luciano gives everything to protect Amethyst and the unborn children he never thought he’d live to want. Now a widow and mother of twins, Amethyst rises from broken girl to steel-spined matriarch. She rebuilds the empire Luciano left behind, raises their children in the shadow of a man they never met, and holds his legacy like a weapon and a prayer. Years later, the twins — Adrian, cold and commanding, and Serafina, quiet and ruthless — grow into living echoes of the father they lost and the mother who refused to fall. This is a story of love born in darkness, sacrifice carved in silence, and a family built on fire, blood… and the soft, unshakable things that survive even after everything else burns.

This Novel includes about my life as a young Author that starts here in this web-writing novel. Desc: Shiori Ten-O is a novel writer that has been struggling in life, she starts her first writing in an age of Fourteen years old, as a teen, she almost gave up writing her novels and just forced to become a doctor, but she met a friend online, which her friend is older than her in seven years, And to add Shiori is part of LGBTQ+ community, yet, still not yet bound to find her right one. However, she turned Fifteen and kept being the most clumsy and silent author in her generation. (WARNING!: The events of every characters are some based to the Author's life, Some are fictitious events that possibly made up.)

Fourteen was supposed to be an in-between year — too old for dolls, too young for love. But for Cara, it became the year everything changed. When her brother’s best friend, Callum Adler, starts spending more time at their house, Cara notices things most adults ignore. The bruises. The quiet. The way their mother starts folding extra laundry like it’s second nature. Callum's broken home becomes a secret the whole family carries, and Cara — wide-eyed, overlooked, and quietly growing — starts to fall for him in all the ways she shouldn’t. But Callum is four years older. Eighteen. Off-limits. Almost a man. And despite their quiet moments — the almosts, the shared glances, the night she asked to kiss him — he walks away without a goodbye, leaving her in the silence he helped create. Years pass. Cara grows. Builds a life. Finds herself. By eighteen, she’s no longer just Kaden’s little sister. She’s her own person — confident, loved, maybe even happy. But everything tilts when she runs into Callum again at a skating rink. Older, composed, and entirely unexpected. He’s not the same boy who used to sleep on her couch with bruises on his ribs — and she’s not the girl who watched him leave. But unfinished things have a way of circling back. Told in alternating perspectives of Cara and Callum, What We Never Said explores the slow burn of first love, the ache of timing, and what it really means to grow up — and grow apart — before finding your way back.

Tavian thought writing a fantasy bestseller was tough, until he woke up inside it. Worse, the overpowered protagonist he created? He’s real. And he’s on the hunt. Now Tavian has one shot. Exploit the system, power-level fast, and stay alive long enough to change the ending. Because this time, the author is the one playing to win!

"You let them surround us?!" she hissed at me, drawing her blade. "We’re trapped!" I raised my hand. "Trapped? No. We’re exactly where I want them." —CLICK. The runes beneath their feet lit up in a perfect circle. "...Wait. Was this a setup?" "Of course," I said. "It’s easier to catch flies when they walk into the web themselves." ... My name is Loki. Not the god of mischief, but close enough. In my last life, I was a street rat with a bad attitude and a worse haircut. My hobbies included tricking rich kids, stealing cheap paperbacks, and reading one fantasy novel over and over again. And then I woke up inside it. Not as the protagonist. Not as the villain. Just a nobody. A background character with zero stats and no plot relevance. Worse? I remembered everything. The betrayals. The corrupted kingdoms. The apocalypse disguised as prophecy. The chains. The flame. The end of the world. Oh—and the author? Let’s just say they made a lot of… questionable decisions. So I decided to make a few of my own. Steal the legendary cards. Manipulate heroes. Kill villains before the plot needs them. Lie, cheat, and break the system itself if I have to. Because if fate made me a nobody— Then I’ll become the bug that crashes the whole story. This world doesn’t know it yet, but I’m done playing by its script. I’m not the reader anymore. I’m the rewrite. Checkmate. ... discord: https://discord.gg/59UqUTSZbt

Unable to get his dream job, he resorts to writing a story, a story close to his heart, a story in which he expressed himself to the fullest. It was the delusional universe he created for himself. Unable to grasp the attention of readers, his book was deemed a failure as well. Heartbroken after suffering his crushing fate, Mark commits suicide, uttering his last words; proclaiming the end of his story. But was this the end of his story? Hell Nah! He is far from being dead. He finds himself, astonishingly, still possessing his consciousness, even though his existence is formless. What he then sees is unbelievable. The hero he created, the hero "he only" loved, the hero that reflected himself... His own protagonist. Reincarnated as the system of the hero of his own novel, Mark undergoes an epic journey with his unanticipated creation, helping him throughout, knowing all about his predicaments. There are a few rules to him - 1. RELAY ONLY REQUIRED MESSAGE TO THE PLAYER 2. DROP DESIGNATED REWARDS 3. EXPEL THE PLAYER IF PLAUSIBILITY REACHES LIMITS But.... Is that all? Does he really thinks events will take place just as he layed them? . . . Is he really that Omniscient ? Is he the only one.... . . .

Thomas is a boy plagued with feelings of loneliness and isolation when one day, he discovers a mysterious box with the power to create life within it. Eager to escape his isolation, he becomes the Author of Life, shaping worlds and civilizations. As he grapples with his newfound power, Thomas learns that playing god has consequences beyond imagination. Civilizations and worlds will crumble and thrive all under his imperfect guidance. For fans of Low Dimensional Game and Shepherding/Nurturing Humanity, I think you will find this story to be worth your time.

The book he wrote wasn't some ordinary book, nor was he an ordinary person. He holds the ability to see the future unknowingly and writes it down as great stories.  Little did he know, he would wake up in a different body in a world where he finds out the characters in his book…A world of magic, swords and monsters.  'Wait, this isn't a world from my novel. It's a real world and the novel is just my prediction of some people just like the guardian said. So I will just enjoy the show as an audience and leave after the story ends. I have a whole new world to discover in front of me.' But what awaits him was something he could never imagine. In front of the world, in front of the whole universe, his assumption was just a grind of sand. The truth of the world made him rethink his life and the life he lived back in another world.  Viktor North, the author, finds himself in the middle of the whole universe where he was nothing but an extra later in his life as he kept living. An extra who was abandoned by his mother, his brother who was an elemental guardian and also a demigod, his race and the God.  'But I prefer to sleep than going against these unwanted people and unwanted problems. I want to sleep. I just want to shut my eyes and sleep under my warm blanket, probably forever if it's possible.' This is the story of an author, a grand magician, a guardian who somehow became a god and the only thing he could think of was sleep.  He is the definition of what a 'Shut-in' is. ... ...

Part 1: Defendant: William Lauren “Thank you for attending the trial for the case of William Lauren,” the presiding judge's voice echoed through the silent courtroom. “Today, we will conduct the trial process transparently, fairly, and in accordance with international legal principles.” The court clerk began the proceedings. “I hate this moment. Everyone is staring at me like I'm a monster.” “Who is at fault? Me or him? Who wants to take my place? No one in the world desires it. Yet they judge without mercy, initiating conflict without consent. Whom can I blame? What responsibility must I bear? If only I had never dreamed it…” Several months ago.
