Other NPCs' methods of reaping players' leeks: Unfathomable strength, top-tier plot backgrounds, hidden stories, and various skill teaching methods. His own method of reaping players' leeks: An innocent yet desirable face, a small pink tail, eyes emitting hearts, skills with off-the-charts glamor… along with a turn-back-and-smile from the game's promotional video.

What would happen if you put 150 students together in a school-like system and had them compete in various challenges to earn points to try and become number one? The outcome has been pretty bland for the past few years at Astral Academy, and the results are not what the higher-ups who run it want, until now. New students have enrolled and will change everything. New faces with clashing personalities will compete against each other to get the reward that first place offers. Five different classes with thirty different students in each class. Who will come out on top? Malakai, who came from London to compete in this academy? Maria, the daughter of a famous actress? Alexander, who has got everything he has ever wanted? Ryan, who can get anything he wants? Isabella, who has never had to try for anything she's done. Dillon, who wants everything everyone else has? Adam, who wants to prove a point? Too many names but only one top spot. Will they be entertaining? I post chapters every Wednesday and Saturday.

A one piece standard Haki story. :⁠-⁠) also a thought experiment of mine

I never wanted to be like this I never wanted to evil to be the villian of someone's story- said Harue while tears streamed down her face while arguing with the person in front. The person standing infront of her just stared at her.................

Someone appears, silent as a shadow. They understand every thought, every wound, every quiet dream you’ve hidden away. Who are they? They look at you with your own memories in their eyes, wearing a life that feels like yours—and yet it’s not. They claim to be you. Would you trust them? Would you let them in, knowing they might reveal the parts of yourself you’ve buried the deepest? And if they are indeed a part of you… are you forced to accept them? Do you want to? Their presence stirs something you can’t define—a connection that feels fated, an understanding that runs deeper than you can explain. They slip through the fabric of your life, binding themselves into your existence, as if they’ve always been there, waiting to step forward. Yet behind that familiarity lies a tension, a question that lingers: What if they’re here to reflect not only the best parts of you but also everything you fear to see? Are they here to free you from your own shadows… or to pull you into theirs? Currently Improving Chapters, If some dont make sense, well it will soon. Quality over Quantity (finished polishing! I think, anyway 60 Chapters Woohoo!!!) (Currently busy due to school D; )

[ Yeah, Sofia was my first love, but she broke my heart into pieces] [ Pikfred] I had this friend online called Pikfred Water. How we got to know each other was like a magic, ' boom!' we are friends now. Pikfred never wanted to tell me his name, and I didn't know why he was doing that, all these days I met him online. But I think we are friends now, so why don't you tell me your name or show me your personality Pikfred?.

You could call me crazy. You could call me a freak. But I would do anything if it was for us. No matter who got in the way. No matter who hurt you. I would do anything to protect you. Because at the end of the day you are always a fighter. Because if you can’t fight for your love then Your love isn’t worth fighting for. Did I want to kill them? No. Did I need to kill them? Yes. Because they were going to hurt you, hurt us. And I couldn’t stand us getting hurt. So I did what I needed to do. You could call me crazy. You could call me a freak. But I would do anything if it was for us.

It is unrealistic that this happened. Why did it have to be this six-and-a-half story? Reincarnate or something, should I drag my lazy body around to spy on the other characters in a story I made myself? What's next? Steal the benefits of knowing about the uncertain future? Confiscate the protagonist's cheating objects, because they are mine, because I am the shameless author of the story? Training to become strong, to beat the villains and the protagonist just for fun? Sneak up on dangerous characters and plan how to eliminate them. Who said I need to do this? A story of a passive author who transmigrated into his story, who causes ruin just by his presence.

Why Can't I be the Hero?!?! 17 Year old Mika Izuko was a game addicted teenager who decided to drop out of school because he thought it was pointless. With the support of his grandparents he kept up his gaming lifestyle. Mika was always into video games and manga as it was all he had to pass the time most days until one day he decides to run a video game marathon on a new game called "The Heroes of Mito Kingdom!"

Synopsis: Jake thought he’d struck gold when he reincarnated into Eldralore, a fantasy realm he “created” using AI. But instead of wielding the power of a beloved protagonist, he finds himself trapped in a chaotic world filled with beasts, demons, and a vengeful narrative he never fully understood. As Cameron, a druid destined to be a casualty in the epic he penned, Jake must navigate the treacherous political landscape to mend the deep-seated divides between races and prevent a catastrophic war. When a mysterious blue screen presents him with a daunting task—fix the plot holes he left behind or face death in ten years—Jake realizes he can no longer be a passive observer. With only two years to initiate trade between rival nations and combat pervasive discrimination, he must summon every ounce of wit and courage to rewrite his fate. Will Jake embrace his role as a reluctant hero and reshape the world he once created, or will he succumb to the chaos he wished to escape?
