James In The Next Step

"Have you heard of him?" A small boy tugged at a woman's skirt, his tiny finger pointing at the large portrait of a man clad in a minister’s robe. "Shhh! Don’t say its name!" The woman hushed him, glancing around anxiously. She knew the boy was only curious about the drawing, yet the inscription beside it spoke of someone else entirely. Still, the credit had been given to the man in the portrait. "Why?" "We just... don’t say it." "Are you talking about The Next General?" A man dressed as a scholar interjected, inserting himself into the conversation. "Everyone is talking about it. After a hundred years, it has returned. I can't decide whether that fills me with hope or dread." His words were meant to impress, to showcase his knowledge, but the woman only tightened her grip on the boy, scooped him up, and hurried away like a hunted animal sensing danger. The scholar let out a single sharp laugh. "A chaotic rhythm… and marvellously extraordinary times are upon us," he murmured, before turning and walking away. --- Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.

Every story begins with a hero. A chosen one. A savior meant to carry the weight of the world, its people… all of creation itself. The Void had only 20 years left before its final collapse—a cataclysm that would erase not just reality, but every fiction, thought, and possibility ever imagined. The end of all endings. To stop it, a heir was chosen. Kaiser Everhart. The solitary hero. But the story didn’t go as planned. Kaiser rejected the supreme authority. He denied the Void. Because there was something—someone—more important than saving the world. And because he was never meant to follow the story. He was meant to rewrite it from the beginning. Like the joker card no one can predict, Kaiser moves outside the rules—an anomaly, a game changer, the unexpected variable in a world bound by magic, systems, and dark fantasies beyond imagination. To stop him, the supreme beings chose two vessels. Lucas, the Heavenly Sorcerer, guided by a system older than time. Celia, the Queen of Curses, who adapts faster than fate can catch her. Their Last Step.

Claude is a rogue werewolf who will become the Alpha’s mate. He just doesn’t know he is building a world with someone his family warned him about. Raised away from a pack, Claude has lived among the humans in secrecy. Attending school and living in a dorm with his best friend… Claude figures his life will be as plain as he planned. However, his plan falls apart with just one frat party, dancing with the city pack’s newly designated Alpha. A tug-of-war ensues between his mind, which wants to keep him safe, and his heart, which just wants Len for himself. Similarities to real people and events are coincidental.

Waking up in a world where strength is law and weakness is sin, a nameless man begins a journey not to conquer, rule, or ascend—but simply to understand who he is. With no memories and no talent. With nothig but a curse disguised as a blessing and his unshakable will. He is going to keep walking his lonely path—fighting fate, challenging gods, and questioning the meaning of existence itself. If purpose lies beyond the stars, in the void, or in the silence of death—then he will find it, step by step… even if it leads into oblivion. *Release schedule: 2 to 3 chapters daily*

LeBron James, the "King", actually gave up high school to step into the NCAA arena early! 　　What! The "Chosen One" LeBron James was actually defeated in the NCAA? 　　What's even more shocking is that LeBron is also playing "brother basketball" in the NCAA? That's really shameless! 　　But who exactly defeated the basketball emperor LeBron James? 　　And who, before Taylor Swift became famous, had already won over this future queen of the music industry? 　　Basketball and love, all start from competing in the NCAA! 　　(LeBron, hiding aside, tears streaming down his face: "Why is there Lin Feng when there's me, LeBron? It seems the title of GOAT is not for me.")

Basketball. A sport of strategy, teamwork, and moments of individual brilliance. But what if... what if the game was stripped of its complex tactics? What if one player's sheer talent could dictate the entire flow of a match unshackled by rigid systems, driven solely by their skill? Some people dared to imagine it. And from that question, a new world was born the World Basketball Association, or as it's now known across continents, WBA. Their vision? To elevate the purest form of basketball: 3v3, where the court is tighter, the tempo faster, and every second offers a chance for one player to become a legend. The format exploded in popularity so fast, even the Olympic Games couldn't ignore it they officially adopted 3v3 basketball as a competition format. Now, the WBA stands as the ultimate proving ground. ----------- Daily Chapter at 10 A.M CET -----------

Dragon’s Tale: Ultimate was the VRMMORPG to end all VRMMORPGs—a fantasy world where players chose from hundreds of dragon classes to fight, grind, evolve, and eventually ascend to the legendary title of [Dragon Sage], a divine heavenly serpent. Shake the heavens, change the meta entirely. It was something that all fought for, but none achieved. 17-year-old Ryuuzen Valeflame was this close to achieving it. One of the top players. Dark Silver Dragonoid breed. Built different. But sabotage, backstabs, and RNG hell meant he never reached the endgame title. So, in the final hours before the servers shut down forever, he decided to solo one of the hardest legacy bosses—just for the memories. He did not expect to get hit by [Tier 0: Medusa’s Stare] and turn to stone mid-fight. He also didn’t expect the shutdown to happen before he could hit the logout button. And so he stayed. Frozen. Forgotten. For thousands of in-game years. Until now. Ryuuzen wakes up in a very different Dragonia—no players, no devs, just ancient legends and glitchy memories of the old world. Turns out, he’s still a Dark Silver Dragon… and now technically a divine being revered. So yeah. If he’s gonna be stuck here? He might as well finally become the [Dragon Sage]—for real this time. Join Ryuuzen on his chaotic journey through a world that barely remembers what patch notes even were. With absurd companions, cults who think he’s a god, and enough overpowered dragon nonsense to crash an old server—this isekai is about to get out of hand. - - - - - - - [!] Discord server dropping soon!

College was like a wake-up call for most people. Especially the likes of Christopher Owen, who spent the rest of his high school years messing around and pining for the boy he never had. Having had a frustrating high school year, he decided to dedicate himself to his studies in college.   He flew many miles away from home, changed his looks, and hid his real identity from everyone.  His plans were simple: study hard, pass well, no dating. But then he realized two things: life was anything but easy without the backing of his last name. And... he wasn't sure how long he could last before he jumped his roommate, who was obviously not gay. But lust wasn't love, right? Maybe he could indulge a little? Just a little, I promise. ***** EXCERPT: "THAT ARROGANT, GOOD FOR NOTHING, DEMONIC IDIOT! I HATE HIM SO MUCH!" "O-kay... what is going on?" A friend asked him, watching as he paced around the room he just entered. "After battling for a long time. A LONG TIME!" he breathed heavily before continuing, "I... I confessed to him today." The other sat up, eyes wide. "For real?" "And then... with that stupid lollipop in his mouth, he just looked at me and said Okay. OKAY!" Gasps. "I didn't even know people said "okay" to love confessions, but he said "okay" to me!" -- Meanwhile, while he was there panicking, the one who had been confessed to remained seated where he was in the room. He had not moved an inch from that position since he got confessed to. But if one looked closely, they would notice how red his face was, up to the tips of his ears. He suddenly chuckled to himself. "That idiot," he muttered, looking at the door the other had taken.

Next year he came, "I won. You lost to me and I will live well. Just rot in there." Next year he came again, "I have a pretty girlfriend and I will marry next year. My life is good. Nothing to worry about." Next year he came once more, "I will stop visiting and forget you! My life is better without you! See, I live well!" But he came again the next year and the years after that. People said he was hunted by his so-called arch-enemy. That even after death, the devil did not even let him go. He stood in front of her grave. His once handsome face had turned old and wrinkly. "Bei Sangyun, I cursed you. You are not allowed to rest in peace. You must be suffering there like me, right? You devil..." He might be the last one standing.
