Claudia Quinn Ornella is a freelancer writer who is good at speaking and stringing words very well. She even received a big project in creating informational writing content on social media from a big company. She fell in love with a man named Yohan Morgan Davidson, the son of the owner of the Aiha company engaged in the manufacture of medical device technology. However, the sincere love and support both mentally and financially for her lover was not really sincere Yohan received. He only used Claudia for three years, making her lose many things, even her own life. At the end of her life, Claudia realized that all this time there was a middle-aged man who continued to give her the support and attention that had been a fake from her own lover. He was Davion Randolph Davidson, Yohan's father. "If God wills, please allow me another chance to make up for everything I deserve." As soon as she opened her eyes, Claudia found herself back to three years ago before she fell for Yohan's terrible trickery. "This time I won't let you go and I will become your father's spouse. The new Mrs. Davidson."

The countdown hit zero. The servers of the legendary MMORPG, Yggdrasil Nova, were supposed to shut down forever. For Ravi, a player who had poured a decade of his life into becoming the game's sole omnipotent being, it was a bittersweet farewell. But the logout never came. Instead of being booted, Ravi found himself fused with his avatar, Kaelus, the Silent Sovereign. He was trapped. But he wasn't alone. His custom-created NPCs, monstrously powerful beings designed to be the ultimate guardians of his fortress, were no longer bound by code. They were alive. And they viewed him not as their master, but as their one and only God. Now, in a world that is both familiar and terrifyingly real, Kaelus must navigate the worship of his fanatically loyal servants, the politics of fledgling kingdoms that see him as a demon or a savior, and the terrifying mystery of why he's trapped. He is a being of absolute power in a world of mortals. He is not a hero. He is not a villain. He is a force of nature, and the world is about to feel his presence. When mortals pray and gods are silent, what happens when a new god answers the call?

He’s quiet. Strange. Always in the wrong place at the wrong time. They call him weak, push him around—especially the golden boy who never leaves him alone. But there’s something off about the way luck twists around him… like the world bends without reason. When forgotten truths begin to surface, the lines between victim and danger blur—and nothing is what it seems.

Hurt. Bullied. Ignored. Boris decided to end his life in the most pathetic, cowardly way imaginable. But of course—how could even death go right for him? Fate, it seems, had other plans. Boris wakes up in another world, reborn as Kaden Warborn—the second young master of the Warborn family. A clan of glorious madmen who treat death like a family tradition. And wouldn’t you know it—death comes knocking again. [Congratulations, Host. You have awakened the Cycle of Rebirth System.] [Core Principle: Die to grow stronger.] [So go on, Host. Don’t be shy.] [Court death.] …Excuse me? Armed with a system that rewards dying, surrounded by maniacs who treat funerals like festivals, Kaden Warborn begins his new life. Hopefully, this time, not like a coward. Discord Link: https://discord.gg/Y7S3ZH5qPy

But Shivam’s done playing along. “You dragged me into your broken story. You killed my favorite characters. You erased everything I loved for a cheap twist.” “Fine. I’ll fix your mess. I’ll rewrite your story.” “And when I find you, ‘Author’—I swear to god, I’m gonna shove that ending down your throat.” —————— Now available: +5 Chapter Bundle for just 500 Coins!

Everyone in Mingcheng said Qin Cha was just a pretty face with no background, a pitiful girl who lost her memory for love. She loved Shang Jue like her life depended on it. But on the day Shang Jue’s precious white moonlight returned, the whole city waited for Qin Cha to cry and cling to him. Instead, she calmly tossed a red marriage certificate at his face and walked away in heels that echoed like war drums. “You married me. Now you’re free.” They laughed at her. Said she was a fool, said she gave everything and got nothing. Until she reappeared, no longer the quiet girl who followed behind him, but the real young miss of a top wealthy family. The one who single-handedly saved a collapsing entertainment empire three years ago. The same Qin Cha who now dominated the industry, collecting trophies like they were toys. From love-obsessed to career queen, she turned her life upside down. Now, she’s the woman everyone wants, but no one can reach. Backstage of an award show, a certain man stood silently in the shadows, eyes red. He lowered his pride and whispered, “Qin Cha, tell me what I have to do... to bring you back.” Qin Cha didn’t even glance at him. “Mr. Ex-husband, don’t block my way. I have a cameo scene in ten minutes.” This time, she won’t be the one begging. She’ll be the one they all chase, and never catch.

He finished the story… but it wasn’t the end. Soon-to-be college graduate In-ho finds himself transported into the world of his favorite fantasy novel, Manufacture End—a story he knows from start to finish. But there’s a catch: The novel hasn’t started yet. The protagonist hasn’t been born. The world is eerily silent, resting just before the chaos begins. Waking up as a nobody with no role in the original plot, he’s granted a mysterious system—one that allows him to manipulate the story, craft his own identity, and evolve beyond the written fate of the characters to come. With time ticking down until the true main character awakens, he faces a choice: • Seize the hero’s role before anyone else does? • Rewrite destiny and change the tragic ending? • Or become something greater than the story ever intended? But the more he alters the world, the more it changes him. And the more he begins to wonder… Was he meant to be here at all?

A Filipino high student from Leyte, named Basilio Valencia died in a landslide but was reincarnated into another world, which is a partial modern and fantasy world with some modern technology. But thanks to an ability called Tech, he still has his phone, journal, and laptop, as well as some pens and journaling equipment. Thus, he can still listen to his favorite songs and watch his favorite shows, anime, and movies from his previous life through his gadgets. Seeing his creature comforts being reincarnated with him, Basilio thought that he would recontinue his partially changed way of life, but his luck ran out when he almost died in a hostile army known as the Vamzom (Vampire-Zombie) Army. That army, which a Demon Sorcerer cursed and transformed to be blood-thirsty creatures that are more like a hybrid of both vampires and zombies, was killing humans and other races that had blood with combat helicopters, pistols, and swords for their blood. But then, the army regained their humanity partially when they realized what they had done to him and the other humans and races. So, they regretted their actions and worked hard to save him. But, while Basilio was in a coma, their leader, Ruslan Makesa, driven by guilt, took his own life by stabbing himself with his Blood Sword, before placing his powers as a Vamzom in a box; he intended to pass that and his leadership to the Basilio once he survive and wake up from his coma. And so, after Basilio had survived and woken up from his 2-month-long coma, the army apologized to Basilio and asked him to lead them, promising to be good to all races. Basilio was shocked but he forgave them, taking Ruslan's leadership with his own morals and ideals. So, after that, Basilio built a country with the Vamzom race that is civilized and friendly with his cultural traits and morals as a Filipino in his previous life, as well as modeling the new nation, known as the Ruslav Nation, after the Philippine republic. But Basilio discovered that there is a race called Otherworlders, which he was a part of, and took this as an opportunity to make alliances with them. But will Basilio adapt to this new life in a strange world? Warning: The photo used for the book cover is NOT mine! Credits go to the original owner!

In his past life, everyone was jealous of Lu Ye, the Nine-Lives Celestial Lord. Not just because he had nine lives, but also because eight of the most beautiful and powerful women in the world were by his side. But no one could have guessed—when Lu Ye was just one step away from becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint—all eight of them turned on him at once and stabbed him in the back. The Nine Heavens Sword Maiden shouted, “I’m the master of the Nine Heavens Sword! But because of you, everyone thought I was just your sword servant. Lu Ye, you deserve to die!” The Red Lotus Fairy said, “Senior Brother, don’t blame me. If not for you, I would’ve become an immortal couple with someone else. I never wanted to be a Saint—I just wanted to be with the one I truly loved.” The Vermilion Bird Demon Empress laughed coldly. “Lu Ye, when you were killing demons, did you forget I’m a demon too?

I was the perfect wife. The perfect sister. The perfect fool. I gave my heart to a man who only saw me as a stepping stone. I protected a sister who smiled in my face while sleeping with my husband behind my back. The day I caught them, I didn’t get a divorce. I got a knife in the stomach—and a front-row seat to my own child being thrown out like garbage. They killed me and called it justice. They stole everything and called it fate. But the gods weren’t done with me yet. When I opened my eyes again, I was five years younger… standing in the exact moment when my life began to crumble. Only this time, I’m not here to love. I’m not here to cry. And I’m definitely not here to forgive. With ice in my veins and a fire burning in my soul, I’ll tear apart everything they built on my pain. My child will return to my arms.

Five years ago, Aria knelt at her husband’s feet, clutching a positive pregnancy test. His response? A cold glare…and five words that shattered her. “That child is not mine.” He threw her out that night. No mercy. No explanation. Just a suitcase, a broken heart, and a baby growing inside her. Now she’s back. Not as the naïve, penniless wife he discarded, but as the icy, untouchable CEO of a billion-dollar tech empire. Fierce. Stunning. Ruthless. And she’s not alone. At her side is a little boy with his storm-grey eyes and wicked smirk…the son he swore couldn’t exist. When their eyes lock across the boardroom, he freezes. Shock. Guilt. Obsession. “You lied to me,” he chokes. She doesn’t flinch. “You didn’t want the truth.” Now he wants it all. His son, his wife, his second chance. But Aria didn’t come back for love. She came to bury him…with the same cold precision he used to destroy her. He gave her a signature. She’s about to return the favor... on his empire.

At the airport, a swarm of reporters rushed toward a woman in glasses, cameras flashing and mics pointed her way. “Miss, what do you have to say about your divorce?” one reporter shouted. The woman casually shrugged, took the nearest mic from a reporter, and said with a cool smile, “Well, it was boring. My husband was cheap, so I dumped him.” Gasps rippled through the crowd. The reporters stared, stunned. “But Miss, we’ve just learned your husband is planning to marry another woman!” another reporter exclaimed. The woman leaned in slightly, her tone nonchalant. “Well, I don’t care.” Suddenly, a strong pair of arms wrapped around her waist from behind. A deep voice followed: “Well, I care, darling.” The reporters recoiled, dramatically covering their noses. “Ewww!” The man narrowed his eyes at them. “What’s your problem?”
