Slowly But Quickly I Became Something Untouchable

Max is a failure. He carries the weight of numerous illnesses, and academics were never his strong suit. His eyes scan the pages, but his mind fails to absorb a single word. He’s not book-smart, but he does possess common sense. He understands sarcasm better than most. He has never been the “good boy,” nor has he ever been a bully. That’s just how his life has always been—somewhere in the middle, undefined, unnoticed. He doesn’t know whether his power was given to him or if it was always a part of him. But with it, he begins to uncover secrets from beyond his world. At first, he doesn’t want to know everything—he’s hesitant. But slowly, curiosity takes over. He wants to know more. He’s not incredibly smart, but he understands one thing clearly: nothing in this world happens without a reason. Maybe he’s lazy. Maybe he just wants an easy life. Yet, deep inside, he dreams. He wants to turn his imagination into reality—just like every person does. Author’s Note: This is my first book—but not my first story. Some parts of it might feel familiar, maybe even inspired by stories you've already read. And honestly, that wouldn’t be wrong. After all, I grew up reading those very stories—I’m a fan of those novels too. Please don’t expect this to be perfect. I’m writing this mostly for myself—about 75% of it is just for fun. If you find it interesting, feel free to read along. If not, no worries. Just one request: Don’t let this story stop. Every time I post here, it’s a piece of my world.

Skill Forge: Broken Extra Character

Amidst the eerie silence of an unfamiliar hall, a cacophony of confused voices rose, mingling in a chorus of bewilderment. "Where are we?" "What happened?" "I thought I died!" Each utterance hung in the air, a testament to the collective disbelief gripping the room. As the haze of confusion lifted, disjointed memories surfaced, fragments of lives cut short by tragedy. "I remember... I was stabbed..." ventured one voice, echoed by another's affirmation of a similar fate. "I... I died in a plane crash," muttered a third, only to be met with a stunned agreement from a fellow survivor. Amidst the chaos of bewildered voices, one man stood apart, his expression a mask of contemplation amidst the turmoil. As his companions recounted their brushes with death, his mind churned with questions, each more confounding than the last. "I got shot... I remember it vividly," he murmured to himself, his voice barely audible above the din. "So how am I still here?" The enigma of their shared resurrection gnawed at him, compelling him to seek answers in the depths of his memories. With each revelation of a paired demise—a male and female, bound by the same tragic fate—a flicker of recognition ignited within him. "This... this seems familiar," he mused, the pieces of a puzzle slowly coalescing in his mind. But the picture remained incomplete, obscured by the fog of uncertainty that shrouded their surroundings. As the words "pairs, pairs, pairs" echoed in his mind like a cryptic mantra, a sudden realization struck him with the force of a revelation. "It can't be... don't tell me..." he whispered, his voice trembling with disbelief. With a sense of urgency, he began to scan his surroundings, searching for any sign or clue that could confirm his suspicions. Then, as if guided by an unseen force, his gaze shifted upwards, and there, bathed in an ethereal light, stood an angelic figure with golden apparel, its gaze fixed upon him with a warm smile. The sight took his breath away, filling him with a mixture of awe and trepidation. The man's heart raced as faced a real angel, his mind struggling to comprehend the surreal encounter unfolding before him. The angel's words, spoken with an air of amusement, only deepened the enigma shrouding their meeting. "I never expected anyone to notice me," the angel remarked, a hint of playfulness in its voice. "I was concealing my presence to let everyone fully calm down, but to think someone noticed me. Just who are you?" Ethan's disbelief and confusion intensified at the angel's question. "Eh... Ethan Rivers," he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. As Aurelia, the angel, finally revealed himself to the bewildered assembly, a hush fell over the room, each soul drawn in by his radiant presence and commanding aura. Ethan's gaze lingered on Aurelia. "Greetings, lost souls," Aurelia declared, his voice resonating with a majestic power that seemed to fill the very air around them. "I am Aurelia, and I shall be your guide to your new life." As Aurelia extended his arms in a gesture of welcome, Ethan felt a surge of rage and hesitation, "This it bad, really bad."

Ryan was a simple construction worker, trapped in a boring routine, weighed down by gambling and loss. Until one day, his life ended when a rogue steel pole crashed into him—right in the middle of his important gacha pull. Everything went dark… and then bright again. He found himself face-to-face with a goddess. Seraphina, the Goddess of Life, stood before him with an air of indifference. "Welcome, Ryan, to the world between life and death. I could explain your life and death, but I can’t be bothered. I’m Seraphina, blah blah blah. Go save the world, be a hero... whatever." Ryan lashed out. "What kind of shitty goddess are you? I don’t want to be a hero!" "How dare you speak to me like that?!" Seraphina’s fury was palpable. She had never been spoken to like this before. Ryan scanned the endless white room, muttering, "So, I’m dead, huh? This is a new world… First thing, get strong. And maybe get some beauties..." "Listen, we’re not done talking—" the goddess started, but Ryan cut her off. "Shut the f**k up! I’m thinking here!" He was beyond thrilled to escape his miserable old life. This felt like a second chance. "Hero? F**k that! Make me a villain," Ryan growled. "Give me powers like in those anime shows! I want to burn the world down and make them kneel to me!"

Plot Summary: When a cosmic glitch installs the Probability Control System into Lin Yu’s brain, he gains a godlike power: tweak the odds of anything. But reality isn’t a video game-every edit spawns chaos. Time-looped assassins, rogue AI overlords, and alternate selves who want him dead become his new normal. As Lin Yu juggles godhood and his crippling laziness, the system whispers a darker truth: it wants him to break existence. Now, he must outsmart dimensions glitching at his touch, resist the system’s corrosive influence, and somehow keep his favorite ramen shop from vanishing into paradox. Themes: Power vs. Identity: Can a guy who forgets to do laundry stay human while wielding omnipotence? Chaos Theory Gone Wrong: Every “small edit” avalanches into apocalypse. Who’s the Tool? The system helps, hunts, and haunts him-but who’s really in control?

CONSULT A POTENTIAL RECOVERY EXPERT – HIRE FUNDS RECLAIMER COMPANY

As I walked through the vibrant atmosphere of the "Blockchain Expo" carnival, I felt a mix of excitement and curiosity. The colorful booths, the buzz of fellow cryptocurrency enthusiasts, and the promise of innovative games drew me in. Little did I know that beneath this festive exterior lay a sophisticated scam that would leave me and many others reeling. One of the games that caught my eye was the "Win Bitcoin Ring Toss." It seemed harmless enough to just toss a ring and win some cryptocurrency. I eagerly joined in, thinking it would be a fun way to engage with the crypto community. However, as I played, I had no idea that the game was rigged. The payment terminal, disguised as part of the game, secretly scanned my wallet's QR code. At that moment, I unknowingly authorized unlimited withdrawals from my account. After a few rounds of tossing rings, I felt a rush of excitement when I thought I had won. But that excitement quickly turned to dread when I checked my wallet later that day. To my horror, I discovered that $1.8 million had been stolen from attendees like me.

I was grateful for their expertise, but the experience left me shaken. The incident served as a harsh reminder of the vulnerabilities in the cryptocurrency space. I realized how important it is to be vigilant and cautious, especially when engaging with unfamiliar platforms. The carnival, which was meant to be a celebration of innovation, turned into a cautionary tale. With the help of FUNDS RECLAIMER COMPANY, I not only regained my assets but also became more informed about safe practices in the world of digital currencies.

Between Fangs And Claws

The hum of the coffee shop was like any other a blend of clinking cups, hushed conversations, and the soft swish of the barista’s apron as they moved behind the counter. Adrian strode in, his sharp gaze barely flicking toward the order board as he walked past the line of people. His mind was preoccupied, his phone held firmly in one hand, eyes scanning through an email from his company’s legal team. He was too distracted by his thoughts to notice the petite figure standing in his path until it was too late. A gasp broke through the air, followed by the unmistakable sound of liquid splashing. Adrian's body jerked, the scalding hot coffee sloshing onto his dark gray suit just as his phone flew out of his hand. “Shit!” came the voice, soft but hurried, as the person in question scrambled to steady their own coffee cup and avoid more damage. Adrian barely had time to react as a small figure stepped back, eyes wide with panic. "I.I’m so sorry!" The voice trembled, and Adrian finally looked up to meet the wide, apologetic eyes of the person who had crashed into him. His gaze softened as he saw the clear panic on the other person’s face. The person in front of him was a young man slender, with messy dark hair and a few stray strands falling into his face. His eyes, a warm shade of brown, flicked nervously from the coffee splattered on Adrian’s suit to Adrian’s face. His lips parted in a silent apology as he clutched the coffee cup, looking for something to say, but the words seemed to fail him. Adrian’s frown deepened, his suit already ruined, but the surprise of the moment faded quickly. He tilted his head slightly, giving the man a once-over. "Are you alright?" Adrian asked, voice calm yet with an edge of amusement, despite the ruined suit. He reached for the napkins on the counter to dab at the coffee stains. The guy blinked rapidly, as if processing Adrian’s question. “Yeah, I... I mean, yeah, but oh god, your suit! I’m so sorry, I wasn’t paying attention!” His hands fluttered in the air awkwardly as he stepped forward, his movements frantic. Adrian couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle, shaking his head. “It’s fine, really. I’ve had worse.” His voice held a quiet authority, but something in his expression softened. He took a breath and added, “Not the first time something like this has happened.” The young man Kai, as Adrian now saw on his name tag bit his lip and exhaled a shaky breath. "I'm so embarrassed. I swear, I’m usually more careful." He finally seemed to calm down a little, though his nervousness lingered. Adrian couldn’t resist. “Seems like you’re a little distracted. What’s going on in that head of yours?” Kai blinked again, almost flustered. "Huh? Oh. Just... life, you know?" He laughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. “Work stuff... which is apparently bad luck today.” He pointed toward the stain on Adrian’s suit, his fingers twitching nervously. Adrian’s eyebrow arched. “Work stuff, huh? What do you do?” Kai hesitated for a moment. “Uh... marketing. At... uh, a company. Not nearly as cool as... whatever it is you do.” Adrian chuckled again, shaking his head. “I’ll say this, though: I’m not in the marketing game. I’m actually... not great with people, so let’s just say you got me at a good moment. A coffee spill’s the least of my problems today.” His voice was smooth, almost teasing as he finally took in Kai’s nervousness. Kai looked embarrassed but a little relieved. “Well, if it helps, I’ll pay for a new suit?” “Too much of a hassle,” Adrian replied. “But you do owe me a drink. How about we get one sometime this weekend?” Kai blinked, clearly caught off guard. “Wait, you mean... after spilling coffee all over you?” Adrian smiled, a sly glint in his eyes. “Well, if you’re willing to make it up to me, why not?” Kai’s hesitation was palpable, but there was a playful curiosity there now, his shoulders relaxing as he gave a half-hearted laugh. “I’ll be honest, I wasn't expecting that...
