Indeed Orleans

It’s 2100, and Vincent Carter – Ying – is a twenty-year-old virgin with a penchant for profanity, he has but three guiding principles: “In a world where honour and valour seem like unaffordable luxuries, cowardice remains the pragmatist’s ultimate virtue. Spinelessness isn’t shameful, it’s simply self-preservative romance.” “Doubt is unironically the cheapest superpower a person can have, after all if it’s human, it’s probably plotting something. And if it’s plotting something, it’s probably hiding something. And if it’s hiding something… well, you get the idea. So question everything, one sceptical step at a time.” And lastly, “Muscle heads – because who needs brains when you can just flex your way through life? Couldn’t be me, I’ll tell you that much.” Armed with nothing but these… questionable (?) values, as well as experiences shaped by a hellish life in the slums, Ying dives headfirst into the latest VR sensation – Cultivation Climax, a world brimming with great magic, ancient mysteries, and blood-curdling conspiracies just waiting to be unravelled. However, because Ying’s life is just that kind of special, he is greeted with a rather ‘lovely’ surprise upon opening his eyes to the new world… Ding! [Your misfortune is truly astounding!] [You have awakened the absolute WORST talent for Cultivation!] ‘…’ “…W-what?!” Yes, what indeed. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/633482/fictions.

Reborn into a medieval-like continent as the son of a baron, Richard has been trying to understand this world through science since birth. After hearing rumors about wizards, he sets out to explore this unknown mystery step by step. Bad news: The rumors about werewolves are false. Good news: There are indeed fire bears near the castle! Better news: Loren's Human Diary is already stirring with excitement! “In all the realms of existence, there exists a principle underlying all things.” Richard, quill in hand, fervently inscribed upon papyrus, “Though sorcery may appear to defy the tenets of scientific understanding, once one comprehends the purest principle of truth, the secrets concealed therein become manifest. Each world harbors its own enigmas, as well as its own science, which remains elusive to the minds of many, thus they term it sorcery. And I am the wizard who unveils these secrets—Wizard The Modern.”

This man had a thing for creating "arty corpses. " Gait of a soldier, calmness of a saint yet temperament of a depraved, he should have been caged. Even the strongest of the alloys would have degraded on his mere sinister glance, carving a path for him to walk free. Yet here he was-- a wandering predator in the light of the day. He soon qualified for bondage by special means. A system created to conscript the prodigies of wickedness, took notice of him. No matter how unwilling, he was under those watchful eyes. But the truth was, he was still above their rules, untamed and unbroken. He began hunting those within the system itself. He became something greater- a favoured entity, a popular character among many. A gap was then created even among those in the system, forging a competitive spirit. But should they dare to risk it all, no matter how fascinating he seemed? None survived to provide feedback on their experience yet the boss let it slide-- for now. This man was indeed special, the boss personally checked him and speculated that there must be a rolling key. Patience might be the only thing that saves you, dear reader......because once you step into his world, escape is no longer an option. * WARNING: GORE content, SLOW BURN ROMANCE.

Alex, a man of 24, had always considered himself a simple, unremarkable soul. He was overweight, inexperienced, and had never received any formal training in anything that could be considered extraordinary. His days followed a routine, mundane pattern that was almost too predictable. He woke up every morning to the same alarm and lived a life he didn’t really think about. Today, like all others, seemed as ordinary as the last. Yet, little did he know, this day would mark the beginning of a journey he could never have imagined. Until, that is, he met her. She was a strange woman—an artist in New Orleans, one of those mysterious figures that could vanish into the bustling streets without leaving a trace. She wasn’t from the crowds of the city, yet she somehow belonged there. After a long exchange, she ended up gifting Alex a pendent. Alex, skeptical as always, thought nothing of it at first. What could this old trinket possibly mean to someone like him? But this was just the first step in many he would take towards meeting the Baron Samedi himself. After going through a few hoops, Alex received his official invitation to Haverix in the form of a system. Haverix. The name echoed in his mind like an impossible fantasy. A floating academy founded by dragons? A place where the greatest warriors, scholars, and mages were trained to face threats beyond mortal comprehension? It was the stuff of legends, and yet, here it was, calling out to him. Alex didn’t believe in fate. He never had. But the more he read, the more the reality of it all seeped in. He had been chosen. Thrown into this strange, otherworldly realm, Alex found himself surrounded by people far more capable, intelligent, and powerful than he could ever have imagined. At Haverix, weakness was not tolerated, and Alex was forced to confront everything he thought he knew about himself. Magic, monsters, and brutal trials awaited him at every turn, pushing him to his very limits. The reality of the academy was far harsher than anything he'd ever faced, and for the first time in his life, Alex felt like a true outsider. If he wanted to carve out a future for himself in this incredible world, Alex would need to rise to the challenge, embrace the unimaginable power that lay dormant within him, and navigate the dangers that could consume him. This wasn’t just another day in his life—it was the beginning of something far greater than he could have ever anticipated. And it was all about to unfold, one trial at a time.

Greetings, my god. Please create your character and start collecting Acting Points!] Thus, humanity discovered that they now had gods, divine protectors who guided them in their battles against monsters… A god who feared everything yet could foresee the future.

As I found myself thrust into this bewildering situation, I couldn't help but wonder if fate had a strange sense of humor. Here I was, once the top A-rank agent, now trapped in the role of a notorious villainess in a reverse harem novel. But why did it had to be the villainess? Well, I don't care! But now that I'm here, I'll enjoy my life to the fullest that I couldn't before. Plus, my family is real rich. Though an issue soon occurred. The female lead keeps sticking to me! I tried to get rid of her by distancing myself since I don't want to end up in the chaos like in the novel… But the female lead is just so adorable!! What would happen if the once fearsome antagonist was now trying to protect the very person she once tormented?  "Sabiiiii!" Ann's voice chimed, her eyes sparkling with innocence. It was hard to resist her charm, and I found myself softening despite my initial intentions. And it seems the so-called main suitors are suffering from collective amnesia. They flocked to me, oblivious to the fact that Anne was the true focus of their affections. "Stay Away! I will not give you my lovely Ann," I declared, my frustration mounting. "Who said I wanted her?" The chaos continued with the supposed fiancé as well, who seemed convinced that our engagement was set in stone, "You are my soon-to-be fiancée! Please compose yourself"  "I refuse to get engaged to you and to compose, whatever that is". "Don't you think you're quite rude to your soon-to-be Fiancé?"  "I'm not rude, you're too nice! And I told you I'm not getting engaged to you" "Thank you, my Lady"  "…Are you dumb?!!!" What in the world of strawberries was going on indeed? It was a baffling and comical twist of fate. But as the days passed, I found myself navigating this bizarre world with a newfound determination. If I was going to be stuck in this story, I might as well do it my way. And who knows, maybe I could turn this chaotic tale into something truly extraordinary.

No one ever thought that the population of people known as "ESPER" could increase. Unfortunately, some metaphysical activities resulting from a work accident have also become a global problem.

How worthy are we to be called...human? "The Endless Hollow"

In the heart of New Orleans, where the line between the sacred and the profane blurs, Detective Samuel Vance is drawn into a chilling investigation.

As Vance delves deeper, he begins to experience terrifying visions of the Archangel Gabriel, a celestial warrior whose messages are anything but comforting. Gabriel warns of an impending war, one that will tear through the veil of reality and plunge humanity into divine reckoning. But Vance’s doubts and sins make him a poor champion of heaven’s will. Enter Lilith, a seductive and cunning demon who offers Vance forbidden knowledge and power to fight the cult—at the cost of his soul.

Beyond the veil of mortal sight, where time itself doth falter and stars are but fleeting candles in an endless dark, there drifts a Presence. Vast beyond measure, ancient beyond memory, it wanders the cosmic void, untouched by the petty reckonings of men and gods alike. Yet even eternity, in all its dreadful splendor, is not without its curiosities. Thus, with but a whisper, a thought—a gentle stroke upon the loom of fate—It remakes the barren firmament. Where once lay naught but dust and silence, now burgeon worlds of wonder, rich with treasure and ripe for the plucking. Planets bloom with bounteous gifts, the heavens teem with hidden providence, and in the heart of one unassuming sphere, life stirs. Humanity awakens, none the wiser to the hand that shaped their fortune, to the architect unseen. And yet, as they toil and triumph, as they carve dominion from the void, a shadow lingers at the edge of thought. Too oft do they find the road paved smooth, too oft do their hands alight upon that which they did not sow. In whispers and in dreams, in fleeting glimpses betwixt wake and slumber, a question takes root—Are we alone? A few, cursed with sight keener than most, seek the hidden hand that pulls their strings. They peer into the dark, and the dark peers back—silent, patient, and amused. For It doth not govern, nor meddle, but merely watches... and waits. What fools these mortals be, who dance so blithely upon a stage set long before their time.

Mythology and Legends were seen as nothing more than imagination by most of the people of Earth after the Age of Enlightenment, an attempt of the past humans to explain phenomenon they could not understand and though faiths existed, most have started to believe them to be nothing more than imagination. That however changed in 2023 when God and higher beings suddenly started to choose people from amongst the populace and gave them power to use, essentially turning them into superhumans and the fully cemented the fact that the Supernatural do indeed exist. The Earth has changed greatly with these chosen people becoming the most important people in the world due to their status and strength as some of them are even leaders of their own nations. The emergence of Gates and it's dangers however allowed the world to realise the reason as to why the higher beings have decided to bless them.

This is a world where myths and modernity collide. A/N: This book is inspired by "Blessed by the Night" by AnathaShesha as I liked the system with which the story was written, so there might be some similarities between the two stories.
