She had everything money could buy, she had a powerful businessman of a father who gave her everything, but left little room for emotional warmth. Poised and polished, she was raised, but underneath there had to be a yearning for actual connection. When Zoey, who’s working as a maid to support her family, begins serving at the mansion where Lily lives her life crosscuts with the sisters. They’re strangers at first, but they’re inexplicably attracted to each other.

In a world of constant competition, one man aims for the top. In this new genre VRMMORPG, he plans on becoming the strongest at all costs. The classes, the races, the starting zones, everything is a mystery in 'New Eden'. This game is coming out without a shred of details. The only thing that was promoted was the freedom of skill choosing. Our protagonist Alexander, gamer tag Astaroth, has always dreamt of becoming an E-Sports athlete. His parents supported his dream, but they are no longer of this world. He fully intends on making it in this new game, if not for him, then at least to honor their memory. With no idea how he wants to play his character, Alexander chooses the most mysterious starting race. Will this be his road to success or his downfall? The game assistant certainly thought the latter. "Do as you wish, young adventurer. I only wish to add this. Do not come back with complaints when you realize you have made the wrong choice," the elf said, looking at him with clear hatred. "We will see about that," Alexander flatly replied. "I love challenges," he added. "Very well!" the elf harrumphed. "Have the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last," he sarcastically added. Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships. But one thing is clear in his eyes. He will become the strongest player in the game, even if he must step over mountains of corpses to do so. Over are his days of working hard for nothing, it's make or break now! I now have a discord where you can talk with other readers and me. There are also channels to discuss new weapons; characters; classes; or monsters that you might want to design and see incorporated in the story. I will always give credit to the person that created said thing, rest assured. The link is https://discord.gg/68kPqbSFrN

I'm less than thrilled to be moving back to Neyland, and the worst part is that my childhood friend Tony Nathan is going to be my neighbour and classmate again. We've known each other since we were kids, but I had to move to Korea with my family a few years ago. Now, I'm returning to London and will be attending Royalty High School, one of the best schools in the city. While I'm relieved to have someone to talk to, I have to admit that Tony can be pretty annoying. He's always been dashingly handsome and smart, but also rude and infuriating at times. Despite our friendship, I've never been a huge fan of his. As I settle into my new life, I'm surprised to discover that we'll be living in the most expensive estate in Neyland - and that we'll be living with Tony's family, the Black family! My parents are best friends with his parents, and apparently, they've always hoped that we'd end up together. Yeah, right. I have five older brothers who are cool with the arrangement, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all. Living with Tony's family means I'll have to put up with his annoying antics all the time. But hey, at least I'll have someone to talk to, even if he drives me crazy sometimes."

One night, in the bustling urban streets of Kyoto, Sato, a weary businessman, trudged along in his usual formal attire. Consumed by a life defined solely by work and sleep, he found himself at a crossroads of despair. Years of relentless dedication to his career had left him without the simple joys of life: the freedom to eat and drink as he pleased, the chance to enjoy his passions, or even the warmth of a family. He realized that in his pursuit of success, he'd forgotten what it meant to truly live. In a desperate attempt to escape his overwhelming thoughts, Sato drowned his sorrows in a nearby bar, drinking away the emptiness that filled him. As the night wore on, he stumbled out into the streets, barely able to keep his balance. But fate had other plans. Drunk and disoriented, Sato was struck by a speeding truck and fell into darkness. When he awoke, he found himself in a vast, empty void—surrounded by nothingness. Before him appeared a radiant figure: a woman dressed in a glowing, ethereal gown. With serene grace, she spoke, revealing that Sato’s life was not yet over. He had been granted an extraordinary second chance—a chance to be reincarnated in another world, where he could finally live the life he'd always dreamed of, free from the confines of his former existence. Reborn as a baby named Souta Laurent, he now finds himself in a new world, far from the world of workaholic ambition. His parents are simple, ordinary citizens, living humbly in this unfamiliar realm. But as Souta grows, a question begins to linger in his mind: What does it truly mean to be a civilian in a world so different from the one he once knew?

In the desolate wilderness, you're startled awake by the howl of wolves, unaware that tonight you've become the prey for a clan's coming-of-age ritual.
