Valerie Gray

In a world shrouded by the gray skies of the industrial revolution, Brandon S. Oneal awakens on his eighteenth birthday. Today, he will finally become a Blessed and gain the opportunity to enter the legendary Tower of Babel, a privilege he has always longed for as someone who grew up in poverty. But Brandon holds a secret. He is not just another young man seeking his destiny. Not in this timeline. In his mind lie memories of a past life where he was the biggest fan of "Journey to the Beyond," the book that depicts this world. In that story, he was never meant to be the protagonist but rather a fourth-tier character and comic relief. However, with the knowledge he possesses, he is determined to leap straight to the top of this novel's hierarchy.

The full-dive online game Horizon is released, and the apocalypse is drawing near. The protagonist is reborn and binds a system that activates a hidden class: the Master of Luck. Horizon is universally acknowledged as the game with the lowest drop rates in human history. Even for the lowest-tier gray-quality gear, players must kill thousands of monsters before it even has a chance to drop… Low drop rates? No problem. The protagonist has a guaranteed drop system, where every probability is covered! Every monster will drop a gray-quality item, five monsters guarantee a white-quality item, ten monsters guarantee a green-quality item, and twenty monsters guarantee a blue-quality item… While others are frantically bidding for a white-quality item at the auction house, the protagonist is already fully equipped in legendary gear, rampaging through BOSS kills with ease!

Gray was just a normal guy. No powers. No family. No future. In a world where strength and status decide everything, he was at the bottom. He worked hard just to survive, taking care of his little sister after their parents were gone. But no matter how hard he tried, life never gave him a break. And after losing his only job, Gray was ready to give up completely. Then something strange happened. Just as about he was to end his life, an unknown voice echoed in his ears. [Welcome to the Great Tycoon System.] And for the first time, Gray had a way to fight back. From being weak and broke, he’ll rise to the top—one coin and one job at a time. Because in the world where money can buy power, Gray is about to become the richest and strongest man alive.

Parents dead, clan exterminated, body burned, hands mutilated, inflicted with innumerable diseases, tossed into the dump, and even the magic ring with the ghostly grandpa in it has been sabotaged. A reasonable person would roll over and die. Tian isn't that reasonable. And as it happens, neither is Grandpa Jun. A very tough kid meets a very cunning old man. And together, they will shake the heavens. What to expect: -2 chapters a day. Volume 1 is already complete. -2k words per chapter (aprox, some run long) with a longer first chapter. -No Harem -Earned power growth -An MC who isn't a goodie two shoes OR an edge-lord psychopath -A power system based on actual Daoism -Sects, giant monsters, natural treasures, flying swords, spells, talismans, secret arts, and a gentle sprinkling of young masters whose face need rearranging.

When Allen Zhang opened my eyes, he found himself on the free air of the West Coast. He became a city explorer. He started off with no dog, no identity, not even a tent. Fortunately, he gained a daily intelligence system and made many like-minded friends. [Daily Intelligence: At the club on 134 Hopson Street, there are a large number of recyclable cans and clear beverage bottles in the green trash bin in the alley.] [Daily Intelligence: In the red trash can on 96 Eito Street, there are unfinished burgers and 7 fresh flowers, as well as an unopened bottle of Pinot Noir red wine.] [Daily Intelligence: Your good neighbor Jesse has a scratch-off lottery ticket worth $5000 in their tent!] [Daily Intelligence: Mike's junkyard is selling a 1976 GMC camper van that has been parked in the suburbs for twenty years for a low price of $200. Details: At the Old Pick Garage, there is someone who can fix it.] Fxxk!! Life has turned into a ridiculous scavenger game. Allen Zhang decides to start leveling up from the streets of the novice village, striving for a better tomorrow.

Excerpt Aristia could not help but stare at the platinum blonde a few steps in front of her. She seemed to sparkle with a glow that drew people in around her. Something that only happened to the main character of a novel. [Is that stupid book sure I'm the female lead?] She thought, her jaws almost going slack. At this point, she was sure she was deluding herself— or the book was deluding her. She didn't know why, but she already disliked the girl. [This is definitely not jealousy.] She rubbed her brows, watching how the innocent, naive looking girl exuding female lead aura was being flocked around already by others despite her low status. "Fuck, I'm really in deep shit!" — Aristia Andrews had just returned home from work and prepared to go to sleep, when she was given a novel. Nothing strange about that though, huh? But just after she had completed the novel, she woke up to find herself tossed into a whole new world. Taken from her world and the life she deemed perfect, and tossed into a not-so-ideal world. She becomes Aristia Amberale, the beloved five year old daughter of the only Grand Duke and Imperial Prince of the kingdom, said to be loved by all in the kingdom. Now part of royalty, she has to get accustomed to living in a backward world of Kings and Queens, Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts and Barons. Just the titles and hierarchy were enough to make her smart head spin. With beautiful and loving parents and relatives, a hopelessly adorable younger brother who just might be a sis-con, loyal-to-the-death servants, and a smart brain, join Aristia as she enjoys eating and making delicious cuisines, forms unique friendships, and creates successful businesses. However, she finds all is not as she thought it was; there just might be something bigger than she expected that the book did not reveal— something that could turn her well balanced world upside down. First of all, she discovers that her character is actually hated and not loved. Then, she finds out she's not really the female lead. Now... she has a lot of mysteries surrounding her to unfold, secrets to uncover, and a sad fate to avoid. But... "Hey, why are you looking at me with those eyes? The female lead is over there." "You, stop following me around, will you? You're supposed to hate me!" "Stay back, all of you! What's wrong with you?!" But most importantly... why are these obviously important characters not leaving her alone? And why was the cold, unloving soon-to-be Emperor of that powerful Empire paying attention to her instead of the female lead? It wasn't supposed to be like this...

Dia bersuara serak, sulit untuk percaya. "Manusia kecil, kamu akan mengetahui pikiranku sangat mudah berubah."

Ini bukanlah kebebasan. Itu adalah perburuan.

I woke up as Kael Valery — the villain of my favorite novel. Feared for his power, hated for his sins, Kael was destined to fall. But now I’m in his body, trapped in the world of Hero of Light Chronicles. Thrown into an elite magic academy where reputation is everything, I must hide who I really am, fix what Kael broke, and survive the consequences of a life I never lived. I’m not here to redeem him. I’m here to rewrite the story — even if it kills me.

Gray hanyalah pria biasa. Tanpa kekuatan. Tanpa keluarga. Tanpa masa depan. Di dunia di mana kekuatan dan status menentukan segalanya, dia berada di posisi terbawah. Dia bekerja keras hanya untuk bertahan hidup, merawat adik perempuannya setelah orang tua mereka tiada. Tapi tidak peduli seberapa keras dia berusaha, hidup tidak pernah memberinya kesempatan. Dan setelah kehilangan satu-satunya pekerjaan, Gray siap untuk menyerah sepenuhnya. Kemudian sesuatu yang aneh terjadi. Tepat ketika dia akan mengakhiri hidupnya, sebuah suara asing bergema di telinganya. [Selamat datang di Sistem Taikun Hebat.] Dan untuk pertama kalinya, Gray memiliki cara untuk melawan balik. Dari lemah dan bangkrut, dia akan bangkit ke puncak—satu koin dan satu pekerjaan pada satu waktu. Karena di dunia di mana uang bisa membeli kekuatan, Gray akan menjadi orang terkaya dan terkuat yang pernah ada.

Gray war nur ein normaler Kerl. Keine Kräfte. Keine Familie. Keine Zukunft. In einer Welt, in der Stärke und Status alles entscheiden, stand er ganz unten. Er arbeitete hart, nur um zu überleben, und kümmerte sich um seine kleine Schwester, nachdem ihre Eltern nicht mehr da waren. Aber egal, wie sehr er sich bemühte, das Leben gab ihm nie eine Chance. Und nachdem er seinen einzigen Job verloren hatte, war Gray bereit, komplett aufzugeben. Dann geschah etwas Seltsames. Gerade als er seinem Leben ein Ende setzen wollte, hallte eine unbekannte Stimme in seinen Ohren wider. [Willkommen beim Großen Tycoon-System.] Und zum ersten Mal hatte Gray eine Möglichkeit, zurückzuschlagen. Von schwach und pleite wird er an die Spitze aufsteigen – eine Münze und einen Job nach dem anderen. Denn in der Welt, in der Geld Macht kaufen kann, wird Gray der reichste und stärkste Mann der Welt werden.

Gray era apenas um cara normal. Sem poderes. Sem família. Sem futuro. Em um mundo onde força e status decidem tudo, ele estava no fundo do poço. Ele trabalhava duro apenas para sobreviver, cuidando de sua irmã mais nova depois que seus pais se foram. Mas não importava o quanto ele se esforçasse, a vida nunca lhe dava uma chance. E depois de perder seu único emprego, Gray estava pronto para desistir completamente. Então algo estranho aconteceu. Justo quando estava prestes a acabar com sua vida, uma voz desconhecida ecoou em seus ouvidos. [Bem-vindo ao Grande Sistema de Magnata.] E pela primeira vez, Gray tinha um meio de revidar. De fraco e falido, ele subirá ao topo — uma moeda e um trabalho de cada vez. Porque em um mundo onde dinheiro pode comprar poder, Gray está prestes a se tornar o homem mais rico e mais forte vivo.

Oakley Perez is a simple girl living a simple life with her mother who wanted nothing to do with her. Despite such situations, life was going relatively well... at least up until the dreadful day when she was giving up and sold to the most ruthless and heartless man to ever walk the face of the earth; Bryce DeHaven EXCERPT: This was it. Her freedom– "I'm not sure escaping is a good idea." A voice, cold enough to freeze her entire being, cuts in behind her. She stiffens. She doesn't dare to turn around. It didn't sound like Anthony... Or Daniel. Could it be...? "T- That's not what I'm doing." She lies quickly, stammering. Silence. "Of course it isn't." He says. Ok, he was clearly judging her even though it sounded like he wasn't. His voice was just calm. Icy. Slowly, she turns around afraid of what would come next. Would she be in trouble? There he was. Him. Her Owner – she was sure of it.

In a world where buildings bleed, time screams through a timer, and reality glitches like static, Azzy searches for answers—and himself. Haunted by Proteus, creatures that mimic life, and shadowed by Cery, a woman both tender and terrifying, he spirals deeper into a dream he may never wake from. Between Gray is a surreal descent into guilt, identity, and the fragile line between love and madness.

Gray Kyojin, a troubled teen lost in his own self-doubt, succumbs to the overwhelming pressure moving forward and attempts to take his own life. But instead of death, he’s thrust into another world—a second chance at life. Yet, his journey is far from easy. Confronted by villains, monsters, and forces that threaten to corrupt everything, Gray must rise, fall, and learn through every struggle. Though he dreams of becoming a hero, the road is long, and even with a third chance at life, Gray isn't perfect. Through every victory and defeat, he must find the strength to move forward—learning what it truly means to be a hero in a world that isn't kind to those who falter.

He only has his morally gray shoulder angel and his morally pitch-black shoulder demon to guide him. Follow him on the 40 km trek from his home village of Big Capibara to Mirstone as he tries to sell wares of questionable origins. (If this has romance in it, then it will be BL. This has comedic undertones!)

Mysterious and curious swords scattered across the earth, waiting for their world-renowned Sword Masters. Who can comprehend the miraculous skill that has been passed down from millennia? The city of Chang'an hides those who carry the power of fire and sun, the central plains house giant decaying millennial families, the wild warriors of the Northern Territory silently sharpen their blades, the dance of deceit and cunning occurs among the southern kingdoms... Above the lofty tranquility, a pair of world-dominating gray eyes are slowly opening. Pei Ye raises his head, pulling the Longsword from his stomach: "Immortal Lord of the True Dragon Taiyi... let's see, who is whose prey."

Follow the wild journey of a man reincarnated as a powerful werewolf in a fantasy world where MILFs can’t seem to resist him. Packed with humor, action, shapeshifting chaos, and plenty of adult fun, this story blends storytelling with steamy scenes. All 18+ chapters will be clearly marked with (18+) in the chapter title. Read at your own risk—and pleasure. Main Story ------- Gray Soliski wasn’t a hero. He wasn’t a villain. He wasn’t even particularly interesting. He was just your average filthy-rich, video-game-bingeing, midnight-snack-devouring college slacker. Until one night, a delivery girl showed up at his door... with fries, a milkshake, and a Desert Eagle. Bang. Dead. End of story? Not quite. Gray wakes up covered in slime, paw-deep in confusion, and surrounded by furballs. Congratulations! He’s been reborn... as a wolf pup. No system. No magical stats. No helpful tutorial. Just snow, raw meat, and a bunch of siblings who think tails are chew toys. Now he’s stuck in a freezing world with zero thumbs, a questionable “gift” for understanding howls, and an Alpha dad who thinks bonding time means hunting eight-foot rabbits. Can Gray survive the wilderness, avoid becoming monster chow, and maybe, just maybe, figure out why he got shot in the face to begin with? One thing’s for sure—being a wolf is a lot harder (and fluffier) than it looks. This is a SMUT novel with an actual plot.

He rushed down the dimly lit hotel corridor, his breath quickening with every step. Sweat dripped from his brow. He pulled off his tie, tearing his shirt open in a frenzy. His steps were getting heavier. He was desperate to reach his room. Finally, he fumbled with the lock, heart racing, only to freeze at the sight before him. A woman in a striking red dress stood inside, a glinting knife in one hand and a wine glass in the other, her eyes fixed on him with a chilling smile. The air crackled with danger, and in that instant, he realized he might not be the one in control after all.
