Im Jahr 2100 wurde der Menschheit das revolutionäre VR-Volltauchspiel "Omega" vorgestellt. Das Spiel war jedoch keine von Menschen entwickelte Technologie, sondern eine, die der Menschheit von einer höheren Macht gewährt wurde, um sie auf das erste Erwachen vorzubereiten. Es war nur ein Tutorial und ein Mittel, um die primitive Spezies von dem Glauben, sie sei allein im gesamten Universum, zu einem reibungslosen Übergang in das wahre, weite Universum zu bringen. Als die durchschnittliche Benutzerstufe im Spiel die vorgegebene Schwelle überschritt, endete das Tutorium schließlich und der Planet Erde erlebte ein katastrophales Ereignis, das als "Erstes Erwachen" bezeichnet wurde, als das Mana in der realen Welt genauso frei zu fließen begann wie in der virtuellen Welt und das echte universelle Bühnenspiel namens "Sigma" enthüllt wurde. Sigma" wurde von der allmächtigen KI, der universellen Königin, regiert und war die große Bühne, auf der Rassen aus dem ganzen Universum gemeinsam um Territorium, Ressourcen und Ehre kämpften. In einem Universum, in dem Fantasierassen wie Elfen, Drachen und Vampire kein Mythos, sondern reale Machtspieler sind, fanden die Menschen schnell heraus, dass sie eine der schwächsten Rassen waren, die "Sigma" spielten. In dieser verzweifelten Situation wandten sich die Menschen an ihre besten Profispieler, um sie zu retten. -------------- Max war ein Genie in der Welt von Omega und galt als die Hoffnung der Menschheit nach dem ersten Erwachen. Doch ein Unfall verkrüppelte seine Mana-Adern und führte dazu, dass er in Sigma als mannloser Abschaum eingestuft wurde! Da er als hoffnungslos und unverbesserlich galt, wurde er schnell vom Helden zum Nullpunkt, und die Welt ignorierte ihn. Zehn Jahre lang, seit dem ersten Erwachen, lebte er das Leben eines manalosen Abfalls und wurde zu einem Abschaum der Gesellschaft, der langsam seinen Stolz, seine Besitztümer und schließlich seine Identität verlor. Am Ende starb er einen tragischen und schmerzhaften Tod, als er es nicht schaffte, seinen jungen Neffen und seine Nichte vor Angreifern zu retten. Doch das war nicht das Ende von Max' Geschichte, sondern erst der Anfang, denn er wurde in der Zeit vor dem ersten Erwachen reinkarniert, bevor sein Untergang begann! Bewaffnet mit dem Wissen um die Zukunft, sehen Sie, wie Max in seinem zweiten Leben nach dem Gipfel strebt und mit Mut und Hartnäckigkeit gegen sein Schicksal kämpft. ------- Meine anderen Werke - MMORPG: Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master Terra Nova Online: Rise Of The Strongest Player (Aufstieg des stärksten Spielers) Bösewicht mit dem stärksten System discord link :- https://discord.gg/KJtRdwcW94

"Do you wish to know what will happen if I drink from your thighs?" Salviana drew in a sharp breath before she whispered, "I might die?" "No, It is I who will die if I don't," he met her eyes with a lustful hungry gaze, "Spread your legs for me, Fiery-wife" And that she did... ~~~{───────────────── ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~}── Fiery is married to the demon everybody feared would destroy them someday. He is the greenest reddest flag but now she only sees white. A canvas to paint their love however she deemed righteous. ~~~{───────────────── ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~}── The Dark Prince, the third prince, is no stranger to the fear and hatred surrounding him. Cold, distant, and possessing a gaze as dark as midnight, he is known throughout the kingdom as the demon prince. But the truth hidden beneath his pale skin is far more dangerous—he is a vampire, living among a royal family that barely tolerates his existence. Salviana, a divine lady of myth, never asked to be married to such a man. Forced into the union, she is thrust into a life where every corner holds a secret and every glance feels like a challenge. Though her husband’s cold touch sends shivers down her spine, Salviana finds herself drawn into his world of shadows and intrigue, struggling to understand the depths of his darkness. With royal enemies watching their every move and Salviana’s own hidden powers slowly awakening, the bond between her and Alaric grows more complicated. Can she survive the dangerous world of court politics, where even her husband may not be fully trusted? Or will the weight of the secrets they keep tear them apart before they can discover the truth about each other? Caught between fear and desire, Salviana can’t help but wonder: Will she uncover the man behind the darkness, or will the shadows consume them both? Married to Darkness is a seductive, tension-filled journey into the unknown, where love and power clash in a dangerous dance that could lead to either salvation or destruction.

Em 2100, a humanidade foi apresentada ao revolucionário jogo de VR de imersão total chamado 'Omega', no entanto, o jogo não era uma tecnologia feita pelos humanos, mas sim concedida à humanidade por uma força superior para prepará-los para o primeiro despertar. Era apenas um tutorial e um meio de fazer a transição suave da espécie primitiva que pensava estar sozinha em todo o universo, para ser integrada no verdadeiro e amplo universo. Quando o nível médio dos usuários no jogo superou o limiar predeterminado, o tutorial finalmente terminou e a Terra sofreu um evento catastrófico chamado 'Primeiro Despertar', à medida que mana começou a fluir livremente no mundo real como fazia no mundo virtual, e o real jogo universal chamado 'Sigma' foi revelado. 'Sigma' era governado pela onipotente I.A., a rainha universal, e era o grande palco onde raças de todo o universo lutavam juntas por território, recursos e honra. Ambientado em um universo onde raças de fantasia como elfos, dragões e vampiros não são um mito, mas sim jogadores reais de poder, os humanos rapidamente descobriram que eles eram uma das raças mais fracas para jogar 'Sigma'. Em tempos tão desesperadores, os humanos recorreram aos seus melhores jogadores profissionais em busca de salvação. -------------- Max era um gênio no mundo de Omega e considerado a esperança da humanidade após o primeiro despertar. No entanto, um acidente danificou suas veias de mana e fez com que ele fosse classificado como um lixo sem mana em Sigma! Considerado sem esperança e irrecuperável, ele rapidamente passou de herói a zero, e o mundo o ignorou. Por dez anos desde o primeiro despertar, ele viveu a vida de um lixo sem mana e tornou-se um ser desprezado na sociedade, perdendo lentamente seu orgulho, seus pertences e, eventualmente, sua identidade. No final, ele enfrentou uma morte trágica e dolorosa enquanto falhava em salvar seu sobrinho e sobrinha dos agressores. Entretanto, não foi o fim da história de Max, mas apenas o começo, pois ele reencarnou de volta no tempo para o dia antes do primeiro despertar, antes de seu declínio começar! Armado com o conhecimento do futuro, observe enquanto Max alcança o ápice em sua segunda vida e luta contra o seu destino com garra e tenacidade. ------- Meus outros trabalhos - MMORPG: Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master Terra Nova Online: Rise Of The Strongest Player Vilão com o Sistema Mais Poderoso link do discord :- https://discord.gg/KJtRdwcW94

In the year 2100 humanity was introduced to the revolutionary full dive VR game called 'Omega', however, the game was not a technology made by humans but one granted to humanity by a higher power to prepare them for the first awakening. It was only a tutorial and a means to smoothly transition the primitive species from thinking that they were alone in the entire universe, to being integrated into the true wide universe. When the average user level in the game exceeded the predetermined threshold the tutorial finally ended and planet earth underwent a catastrophic event called the 'First Awakening ', as mana started to flow freely in the real world as it did in the virtual world and the real universal stage game called 'Sigma' was unveiled. 'Sigma' was governed by the omnipotent A.I. the universal queen, and was the grand stage where races from all across the universe fought together for territory, resources, and honor. Set in a universe where fantasy races such as elves, dragons, and vampires are not a myth but real power players, humans quickly found out that they were one of the weakest races to play 'Sigma'. In such desperate times, humans turned to their best professional players for salvation. -------------- Max, was a genius in the world of Omega and deemed the hope of mankind after the first awakening. However, an accident crippled his mana veins and caused him to be assessed as a manaless trash in Sigma! Deemed hopeless and irredeemable, he quickly went from hero to zero, and the world ignored him. For ten years since the first awakening, he lived the life of a manaless trash and became a bottom feeder in society, slowly losing his pride, his possessions, and eventually his identity. In the end, he faced a tragic and painful death while failing to save his young nephew and niece from assailants. However, it was not the end of Max's story but just the beginning as he was reincarnated back in time to the day before the first awakening before his downfall started! Armed with the knowledge of the future, watch as Max reaches for the apex in his second life and fights against his destiny with grit and tenacity. ------- My other works - MMORPG: Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master Terra Nova Online: Rise Of The Strongest Player Villain With The Strongest System discord link :- https://discord.gg/KJtRdwcW94

He finished many games, leaving only his nasty reputation behind, and just as he thought he'd do the same with a strange game called [God-like Online], the world’s undergoing a greater upheaval. Being one of the players, he was dragged into the new world by force and discovered over time that all this wasn't a game from the start but a machination to prepare the earthlings for a disaster much worse than anything they could imagine. -- Before you start, keep certain information in mind. -(No NTR, No R*pe). -Don't expect an overload of clichés.

Nathan Steele, a brilliant but overworked game developer, dedicated his life to creating the perfect virtual worlds—ironically at the cost of neglecting his own. After collapsing at his desk from exhaustion, he wakes up in a vast, featureless void. Confused and disoriented, Nathan is greeted by a mysterious Tutorial System that delivers a shocking revelation: "You are no longer human. You are now the God of a new, empty world. Your survival depends on one thing—creating life and earning their unwavering worship. Fail, and you will cease to exist." Given divine powers beyond his imagination, Nathan must start from scratch, crafting the very fabric of reality. Armed with a system that offers guidance, challenges, and occasionally snarky commentary, he embarks on a journey to design landscapes, create intelligent beings, and guide their civilizations. But being a god isn’t as simple as coding a game—free will, rival gods, and unforeseen chaos constantly threaten his creations. To complicate matters further, he discovers he’s not the only god in existence. Other deities vie for dominance, their worlds and worshipers clashing with his own. To secure his survival, Nathan must navigate divine politics, outwit his rivals, and inspire his people to believe in him above all others. Will Nathan rise as a benevolent creator, or will desperation drive him to become a tyrant in his quest for worship? The fate of his world—and his existence—rests in the hands of his creations. In this new life as a god, the rules are clear: Create. Cultivate. Survive.

It was a very normal day for the inhabitants of planet Earth when an emotionless robotic voice resounded in every creature's mind. "Unawakened Planet#54673242 discovered" "Initiating Awakening" When mankind had finally adapted to these changes, the voice of the System rang once again. "Tutorial has ended. A war will be initiated for the ownership of Planet#54673242." Mankind fought long and hard but they were still no match for their enemies. Mankind lost. Ezekiel or Zeke as his friends knew him, was a researcher. He was one of the wisest humans and there was a spear sticking through his chest. As he was dying, he heard the System's voice. "Activation prerequisites met." "Activating Skill: Glitch???" "Remaining Uses: None" The last thing he heard before dying was, "You human vermin finally lost. This planet now belongs to the...wait! What is happening? Why is the Sys@#$%@$..." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a regression novel.

“Everyone’s life is like a canvas. It is how they choose to paint them” Those words stuck with me and I try my best to paint the most beautiful painting on my canvas. Wang Chaihong has spent her entire life chasing a dream—to stand among the best in the male-dominated world of professional esports.

Kenji Takahara, a 17-year-old professional procrastinator and avid gamer, had one mission that fateful evening: finish a dungeon raid on his phone before bedtime. What he didn’t plan on was getting "critically hit" by a speeding truck. When Kenji wakes up, he finds himself in a glowing white room face-to-face with the Creator of All Things... who seems more like a forgetful office worker than an almighty deity. God: “Kenji! You’ve been selected for the ultimate adventure!” Kenji: “…Adventure? You mean, like DLC or…?” God: “No, no, no. I’m sending you to another world to save it from unspeakable evil!” Kenji: “...Do I get cheat codes?” God: “We’ll see.” With a snap of divine fingers, Kenji is yeeted into his new reality… only to materialize in the Demon Lord’s throne room. Oops. No hero welcome, no starter weapons, and definitely no tutorial. Just him, a glitchy system window, and a room full of very confused—and very angry—demons. Now Kenji must navigate a world that feels more like a broken beta test than a grand adventure. With a mix of gamer wit, dumb luck, and the occasional divine intervention (read: God's half-hearted apologies), Kenji is determined to survive, level up, and figure out what exactly he’s supposed to be saving. Step one: Not die in the first five minutes. Step two: Maybe take over the Demon Castle? Hey, a guy can dream.

You will be devoured, consumed by a world with no structure or morality. You will be left as nothing more than a blank canvas. HEARTEATER.

Pretending to be human is an effortless task; calculating and flirtatious is a mask he carries for centuries, playing with the lives of those around him as if they’re just a game. 
His closed heart never lets anyone in, keeping a distance from anyone except for his annoying family, who live and protect each other. Despite having a dysfunctional, crazy family yet being regarded with suspicion and dread, his heart longs for more.  
On that fateful night, he never thought it was possible for him to have another emotional connection.  
A young, feral boy carrying a hunter-knife is surrounded by blood, snow, and dead wolves in the forest. Why does his youthful body carry a grotesque canvas of scars like they tell a gruesome past?

If it was anyone else, he would not hesitate sending them to their grave.  Soon, he would learn that Atlas carries a heavy, dark secret, where Sebastian had to look for an answer in Atlas's past and must decide if he's worth protecting.  ***

In the Savran Empire, Adelina De Alagna and Ellenia De Grande had lived vastly different lives, their paths shaped by circumstances that had left an indelible mark on their souls. Adelina, the daughter of Marquess Alagna, had suffered the cruel fate of abandonment, abuse, and loneliness.
