The Matchmaker S Playbook

Elaine Monroe never meant to fall in love with him. She never meant for her heart to betray her like this. But as she watches him stand beside another, hand resting on the waist of the woman he’s meant to be with, she wonders if she was always destined to be the outsider. "You knew," she says, voice barely above a whisper. "You knew how I felt." His jaw tightens, but he doesn’t deny it. He never does. "It wouldn’t have changed anything," he finally says. She laughs bitterly. "I know." Loving him was always impossible. He belonged to someone else. To his family’s expectations. To a future where Elaine had no place. "Forget whatever you think you feel," he tells her, voice firm, but there’s something unspoken in his eyes—something that makes it hurt even more. "It will never happen." And yet, his gaze lingers, just for a second too long. Then there’s her best friend—the one who stands beside her when the world turns its back. The one who sees her pain without asking. "You don’t have to do this to yourself," he says, handing her his jacket on a cold night. "You deserve more than waiting for someone who will never be yours." She wants to believe him. She wants to move forward. But some loves are impossible to forget. Some wounds never truly heal. And some desires, no matter how forbidden, refuse to die. _____ "loving him best decision i ever made" Elaine "you are my world"

Humans of Earth were transported to the Divine Sky Realm, a world brimming with fortune and danger. In this celestial domain, humanity now dwells upon floating islands, ascending as rulers. When else will you get the chance to be a king and vie for supremacy? The system bestowed powers upon chosen individuals, granting limitless luck. Lein, an ordinary office worker, received the SSS-rank talent - Infinity Duplicate. There was nothing in this world that he couldn't duplicate, not even god-tier materials. The path to becoming the strongest lay before him. Yet, Lein knew all too well that it required a process. Even the gods needed a process to create the universe. The Divine Sky Realm offered a fantastical life that Earth's humans had always dreamed of. Soaring through the skies, shattering mountains, rising to the pinnacle in all endeavors. But humans remain humans, wherever they are, driven by their innate nature: greedy and unaware of their limits. Humans believed they were the sole inhabitants of the universe, thinking only they received the system's fortune. But reality proved otherwise. Other races in the universe were granted the same blessings, without distinction. In fact, the human physique was considered low-tier. Races like the Wood Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Dragons, and countless others possessed bodies that defied the heavens from the outset. Could humans survive in the Divine Sky Realm? We can only hope for the best. The humans found themselves in a realm where dreams and nightmares walked hand in hand, a place where every desire and fear took form. Floating islands became their new kingdoms, a testament to their newfound power and ambition. Lein, an unremarkable man back on Earth, now wielded the power of Infinity Duplicate, a gift that could make him invincible.

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

``` Hace nueve años, la humanidad casi pereció el día que los monstruos emergieron de las Grietas, también conocidas como mazmorras, que aparecieron por todo el mundo. Cuando toda esperanza parecía perdida, unos pocos seleccionados despertaron como Cazadores equipados con un Sistema. Gracias a ellos, la civilización se recuperó más rápido de lo que uno esperaría después del apocalipsis. Sin embargo, más tarde se presentó otro conflicto: cuanto más usaban los Cazadores sus poderes, más rápido perdían su cordura. Afortunadamente, entre las Personas Despertadas, hay un grupo clasificado por el Sistema como Guías, y solo estos Guías tienen el poder de calmar a los Cazadores y devolverles la sensatez. Suena genial, ¿verdad? ¿Pero qué pasa cuando un Civil está en una relación con un Cazador que tiene un alto índice de compatibilidad con su Guía? —Rompamos, Wonhee. Sí, esto es lo que pasa cuando tu novio Cazador tiene un 76% de compatibilidad con su Guía. Wonhee fue dejada por su novio de largo tiempo porque ella es solo una Civil... ... o eso creía. ```

Il y a neuf ans, l'humanité a failli disparaître le jour où des monstres ont émergé des Fissures – ou donjons – qui sont apparus partout dans le monde. Lorsque tout espoir semblait perdu, quelques élus se réveillèrent en tant que Chasseurs équipés d'un Système. Grâce à eux, la civilisation s'est rétablie plus rapidement qu'on ne l'aurait cru après l'apocalypse. Cependant, un autre conflit se présenta plus tard : plus les Chasseurs utilisaient leurs pouvoirs, plus vite ils perdaient la raison. Heureusement, parmi le Peuple Éveillé, il existe un groupe classé par le Système comme Guides – et seuls ces Guides ont le pouvoir de calmer les Chasseurs et de les ramener à la raison. Ça a l'air génial, n'est-ce pas? Mais que se passe-t-il lorsqu'un Civil est en couple avec un Chasseur qui a un fort taux de compatibilité avec son Guide ? « Cassons, Wonhee. » Ouais, voilà ce qui arrive quand ton petit-ami Chasseur a un taux de compatibilité de 76% avec son Guide. Wonhee a été larguée par son petit-ami de longue date parce qu'elle n'est qu'une Civile... ... ou du moins, c'est ce qu'elle croyait.

Há nove anos, a humanidade quase pereceu no dia em que monstros emergiram das Fendas – conhecidas como masmorras – que apareceram pelo mundo todo. Quando toda esperança parecia perdida, um seleto grupo despertou como Caçadores equipados com um Sistema. Graças a eles, a civilização se recuperou mais rápido do que se esperaria após o apocalipse. Entretanto, outro conflito se apresentou mais tarde: quanto mais os Caçadores usavam seus poderes, mais rapidamente perdiam a sanidade. Felizmente, entre as Pessoas Despertas, existe um grupo classificado pelo Sistema como Guias – e somente esses Guias têm o poder de acalmar os Caçadores e trazê-los de volta à razão. Parece ótimo, não é? Mas o que acontece quando um Civil está em um relacionamento com um Caçador que tem uma alta taxa de compatibilidade com seu Guia? “Vamos terminar, Wonhee.” Sim, isso é o que acontece quando seu namorado Caçador tem uma taxa de compatibilidade de 76% com seu Guia. Wonhee foi dispensada pelo seu namorado de longa data porque ela é apenas uma Civil... ... ou pelo menos foi o que ela pensou.

Sembilan tahun lalu, umat manusia hampir punah saat monster-monster keluar dari Retakan– atau penjara bawah tanah– yang muncul di seluruh dunia. Ketika semua harapan tampak hilang, segelintir orang terbangun sebagai Pemburu yang dilengkapi dengan Sistem. Berkat mereka, peradaban pulih lebih cepat dari yang diharapkan setelah kiamat. Namun, konflik lain muncul kemudian: semakin sering Pemburu menggunakan kekuatan mereka, semakin cepat mereka kehilangan akal sehat mereka. Beruntungnya, di antara Orang-orang yang Terbangun, ada sebuah kelompok yang diklasifikasikan oleh Sistem sebagai Pemandu– dan hanya Pemandu inilah yang memiliki kekuatan untuk menenangkan Pemburu dan membawa mereka kembali ke akal sehat. Terdengar hebat, kan? Tapi bagaimana jika seorang Sipil berhubungan dengan Pemburu yang memiliki tingkat kecocokan tinggi dengan Pemandu mereka? “Ayo putus, Wonhee.” Yep, inilah yang terjadi ketika pacar Pemburu kamu memiliki tingkat kecocokan 76% dengan Pemandunya. Wonhee diputuskan oleh pacarnya yang sudah lama karena dia hanya Sipil... ...atau begitulah pikirnya.

The Universal System is dying. Once a powerful force that governed skills, leveling, and reality itself, it is now on the verge of collapse. The gods have abandoned it, the world it once maintained is crumbling, and abyssal forces seek to erase its existence. As its final act, the System awakens its last hope—a fallen warrior from an extinct world. Given the title of Administrator, they must repair the shattered System, reclaim lost functionalities, and fight against cosmic forces determined to wipe it from existence. But as they dig deeper, they uncover a terrifying truth: The System was never meant to exist. Now, the Administrator must make an impossible choice—restore the System to its former glory, rewrite its very nature, or let it die forever. In a war against gods, cosmic entities, and reality itself, can one being defy fate and reshape existence? The countdown to annihilation has begun. The last Administrator must rise.

After vanishing for nearly a decade, Seo Sohyung, once Korea’s most feared S-rank hunter, is nothing more than a missing name in old reports. Trapped in an SS-rank gate for two years, he had lost everything upon his return—his family, his past, and any reason to fight. Instead of returning to the battlefield, he disappeared into the quiet life of a florist, far from the world of hunters. But peace never lasts. Kwon Jaesung, now the strongest hunter in Korea, powerful leader of the Vortex Gate and a man obsessed with Sohyun, has finally found him. After years of searching he found him while coming out of a gate and taking a break in a nearby small but nice looking cafe. Unlike the government, which would force Sohyun back into hunting, Jaesung has other plans—ones that involve relentless kidnapping attempts, a twisted sense of devotion, and keeping Sohyun close, by all means. But when a man like Jaesung refuses to let go, how long can he truly remain in hiding?

Vor neun Jahren wäre die Menschheit beinahe untergegangen, als die Monster aus den Rissen - auch Kerker genannt - auftauchten, die überall auf der Welt zu finden sind. Als alle Hoffnung verloren schien, erwachten einige wenige als Jäger, die mit einem System ausgestattet waren. Dank ihnen erholte sich die Zivilisation schneller, als man nach der Apokalypse erwarten würde. Später kam es jedoch zu einem weiteren Konflikt: Je mehr die Jäger ihre Kräfte einsetzten, desto schneller verloren sie ihren Verstand. Glücklicherweise gibt es unter den Erweckten eine Gruppe, die vom System als Führer eingestuft wird - und nur diese Führer haben die Macht, die Jäger zu beruhigen und sie wieder zur Vernunft zu bringen. Klingt toll, oder? Aber was passiert, wenn ein Zivilist in einer Beziehung mit einem Jäger ist, der eine hohe Trefferquote mit seinem Führer hat? "Lass uns Schluss machen, Wonhee." Ja, genau das passiert, wenn dein Jäger-Freund eine 76%ige Übereinstimmung mit seinem Guide hat. Wonhee wurde von ihrem langjährigen Freund abserviert, weil sie nur eine Zivilistin ist... ... oder so dachte sie.

[There is a lot of sexual and stimulating content, minors are not allowed to read!!!] Silas suddenly found himself in a strange parallel world. The teacher, a woman with a calm, almost detached demeanor, entered the room. "Alright, class," she announced, her voice devoid of any particular inflection.

Nine years ago, humankind almost perished the day monsters came out of the Cracks– aka dungeons– that appeared all over the world. When all hope seemed to be lost, a select few awakened as Hunters equipped with a System. Thanks to them, the civilization recovered faster than one would expect after the apocalypse. However, another conflict presented itself later: the more the Hunters used their powers, the quicker they lost their sanity. Fortunately, among the Awakened People, there is a group classified by the System as Guides– and only these Guides have the power to soothe the Hunters and bring them back to their senses. Sounds great, right? But what happens when a Civilian is in a relationship with a Hunter who has a high matching rate with their Guide? “Let’s break up, Wonhee.” Yep, this is what happens when your Hunter boyfriend has a 76% matching rate with his Guide. Wonhee was dumped by her long-time boyfriend because she’s just a Civilian… … or so she thought.

The world is inhabited by two types of people: Humans and Irregulars. While Humans, who make up the majority, enjoy equality across different classes and cultures, Irregulars are a marginalized minority often kept separate from society. Their supernatural abilities, either inherited or awakened during adolescence, mark them as different, and often, dangerous. Three unique perspectives are about to collide: Elliot: A foster kid who stumbles into the wrong place at the wrong time, only to discover that he is an Irregular. Up until now, he's lived as a human, but his world is about to change in ways he never expected. Wendy: A determined young cop searching for her missing partner. While investigating a restricted area, she encounters Elliot and takes him in for questioning, unaware that this meeting will change the course of her mission. Devlon: A boy classified as an Irregular for as long as he can remember, kept hidden from the public eye. His life has been one of isolation-until now. With society pushing for Irregulars and Humans to integrate, tensions are rising. Each of these three faces a world that demands change, but how they respond could alter the future for both groups. When their small worlds collide, will events finally lead to peace between humans and irregulars? Or will this spark a new conflict altogether?
