Thin Spanner

At dawn. The light of dawn lingered, hesitant to arrive, while the remnants of the setting sun had long faded into darkness. Within the city shrouded in thin mist, the hidden churches in the shadows, veins clinging to the cracks in walls, the gnawing sounds echoing from the sewers, and the murmuring shadows... A lantern bearer strolled forward.

In the midst of swirling possibilities, a question lingered in the air like an unspoken promise: "If you were given the chance to reset the beginning, what path would you tread?" Option One: To revel in the simple joys of life, finding solace in the embrace of solitude, for the paper-thin figure is the epitome of true love. Option Two: To journey into the realm of cultivation, seeking the secrets of immortality, striving to become a legendary sword immortal. Option Three: To immerse oneself in the world of martial arts, carving out a path as an unparalleled grandmaster, destined to reign supreme over all sects. Option Four: To traverse the realms of fantasy, experiencing rebirth as a formidable entity, ascending once more to the pinnacle as a divine sovereign. Option Five: To venture into the dark realms, mastering the arts of sorcery as the esteemed leader of the demonic sect. Option Six: To ascend the throne and rule over all, commanding an empire in the realm of fantasy, for in the divine dynasty, the desire to reign as emperor burns brightest. Amidst this array of choices, Chu Yuan declared with unwavering determination, "I crave the throne. I shall be emperor." Yet, the system interjected, its digital voice tinged with skepticism, "Is it not preferable to live a simple life as a recluse?" "Is it not preferable to be emperor?" Chu Yuan retorted, his resolve unyielding. Silence greeted his response, an acknowledgment of his unwavering determination. "Congratulations, host, on selecting Option Six: to reign over all, in the divine dynasty of the supreme emperor." [Divine Destiny Selection System is launching...]

When a missing person case leads him to a forbidden artifact—a Shattered Fragment of a long-forgotten god—Alec is thrust into a hidden world where the supernatural and mortal realms collide. The Shattered Fragment grants Alec visions of the Unseen Realms, a place of eldritch entities and divine powers that shape reality from the shadows. But the knowledge comes at a price: Alec begins to unravel secrets that others would kill to protect, and he learns of the Great Convergence, a cataclysm that will tear down the barriers between worlds and awaken ancient, chaotic gods.

In a world where every truth hides a darker secret, Alec will learn that some forces cannot be controlled—and some choices cannot be undone.

Chen Xiaoyun, an orphan from Guangzhou, China, once met a girl who looked remarkably like him. Before he could learn more about her, a deadly virus was unleashed around the globe. Humans turned into creatures straight out of video games and movies, and zombies and mutants roamed the streets with no one to stop them.

And why can I suddenly create things from thin air?" Will Xiaoyun survive the chaos with the new people he meets along the way?

His gaze slowly drifted up to her knees, and then her thighs. The soft white skin-it all looked so smooth. She watched him, marveling at how he seemed to memorize every detail of her. It made her feel so warm inside, to know that the sight of her body captivated his attention so much. When his gaze fell upon her pussy, he was taken aback. He cocked his head and met her gaze. She suddenly got self-conscious and sat up. "What? Is there something wrong?" He was staring at her bush, or more precisely. the lack thereof! There was no hair on her mons, just a thin strip of dark curly hair that started just above the hood of her clit, went up three inches, and stopped. He was totally confused. He had never seen any woman that had just a thin strip of hair down there. It was either all over and thick; or, if they were very young, not there yet, or just some fuzz. His head was cocked at an angle and his ears were fully forward, his forehead wrinkled as he tried to figure out why it looked the way it did. She saw his expression was one of confusion, not disgust as she had feared. She relaxed a little.

Seized by a panic such as she had never experienced in the 21 short years of her life, Mira scrambled against the man's grip. A whiff of blood mingled with an intoxicating scent of cedar. “Shh,” he murmured, lowering his head. Pressed against his firm chest, she gulped at the dark red seeping through his shirt ivory white. She risked a glimpse up. Under a silver-black phantom half mask was a sculpted face, strands of jet-black hair sweeping his cheeks. Contrasting his pale complexion were those burgundy red lips, above which, a straight nose cast a shadow on his thin eyes the color of onyx. He glanced down at her, his gaze otherworldly. “If you’re thinking of getting on the back of the truck,” he wheezed, his larynx heaving. “Bad idea.” Deep like the rumbling sea and magnetic, his gravelly voice threatened to drown any audience. This romantasy is set in a world a millennium after ours perished. Also, you may imagine the male lead as Sylus from the simulation game Love and Deepspace but with black hair.

"Gordon! Why are you late? The awakening ceremony is right now!" Jessica said urgently when she saw Gordon come through the doors of the awakening center. Shrugging Gordon didn't say anything. The last thing in the world that he wanted to do was tell this beautiful girl that he had been tripped and beaten on the way to school today. It was times like this that he wished that he bruised more easily. Then maybe he could get some attention. But this thought was fleeting in his mind. Gordon actually preferred to deal with his problems in his own way. And awakening to become a beast tamer and maybe even have his own talent would be the first step. Once he had a powerful beast the bullies wouldn't dare pick on him. "Come on, let's get in line." Jessica whispered to Gordon when she realized that he wasn't going to tell her what had happened. Together they went to the back of the arena type auditorium to wait for their turn to awaken. They had been friends since childhood and had been there for each other through thick and thin. Jessica had been the only friend that stuck with him despite all of his quirks. Slowly the line inched forward. Occasionally some people in their class would cheer if in addition to becoming a beast master a student also awakened a talent.

I'm here to tell you everyone got it wrong. It didn't appear out of thin air from God's touch; nor through a random singularity. It was made, beautifully hand-crafted by four beings of immense power from the first and original universe. They did not make it like the simulations humans make, but by creating and governing the laws of the universe itself. Lords of the Universe, as they were dubbed by their children. Why did they do this? Only they could give you an answer, and an answer they COULD give. Because somewhere, somehow, they still walk among us....

Dr. Robert Williams, a forty two years old brilliant scientist, had sacrificed everything for his research: his youth, family, social life, and love. After 22 years of tireless work, he had finally achieved the impossible – creating the first-ever vaccine for an incurable disease. But his triumph was short-lived. His research partner submitted the paper under her own name, and the institute's director – her husband – silenced Robert's protests. Crushed and defeated, Robert saw no escape from despair. On the brink of hopelessness, he made the desperate decision to end his life. Yet fate had other plans. Instead of death, Robert found himself reborn in a world where magic and technology coexisted, and nothing was really a myth!

* At night He was rugged and untamed. That one steamy night left Grace utterly captivated. She coyly stretched out her dainty, snow-white feet, hooking them around his waist as she softly laid down her terms: For the first time, no staying overnight. The second time, the moment he got himself a significant other, she'd vanish from his side. Later on, their liaison would remain strictly on a physical level. No strings of money attached, no emotional fetters, just the most primal and unadulterated desires that flared up when night fell, entwining them like a web spun by countless spiders. And once the moment had passed, she'd straighten her skirt and turn her back on him, cold as ice. *During daytime He was the heir to a vast business empire, now impeccably dressed in a sharp suit, exuding an air of aristocratic reserve. He extended his hand to her with a polite smile, “Hello, Grace.” Grace gritted her teeth in secret dismay.
