“I don’t care what story you wrote or you’re trying to write, Han Ji-eun. You’re in my world now, and I don’t share.” Han Ji-eun thought writing Flowers and Dragons was her greatest achievement—until she died and woke up as its most hated character, Lady Evelina. Faced with death for her “sins” of attracting Prince Adrian. Ji-eun plans to rewrite her destiny by steering Prince Adrian back to his rightful heroine. "Are you stupid!? Go back to your fiancee, Your Highness." But her clever schemes attract the attention of someone she didn't expect at all. Prince Kael, the quiet, brooding cursed prince who has no business meddling in her plans. Kael is everything Adrian isn’t: dangerous, unpredictable, and impossibly alluring. Worse, he seems to know secrets about Evelina that even Ji-eun doesn’t. "My precious Ji-eun, you're finally here." As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Ji-eun has to find her way through a court filled with deadly secrets, a romance she never intended, and a prince who refuses to let her go to back to her real world. "What the f**k! I just want to go home and kill that cheating bast**rd first!"

Was kann man an meinem neuen Leben nicht lieben, nachdem ich in eine haustierzentrierte Welt übergewechselt bin? Es gibt mächtige Kreaturen, die in allen Formen und Größen vorkommen. Sie können entweder kuschelige Begleiter, Helfer im Alltag, wagemutige Späher oder starke Kämpfer sein. Oder alles davon. Nicht schlecht, oder? Ich habe eine Familie, aber diese Tatsache wird von meiner jüngeren Schwester völlig überschattet. Sie hasst mich abgrundtief, und sie sorgt dafür, dass ich das weiß. Jedes. Einzelnen. Tag. Habe ich schon erwähnt, dass sie ekelhaft talentiert ist, während ich ein Versager bin? Und ein furchtbar gutaussehender noch dazu. Ich habe freie Hand, um das Familienunternehmen allein zu führen. Eine kleine und beschauliche Tierhandlung. Es hätte großartig werden können, wenn nicht der vorherige Besitzer dieses Körpers mit NULL Affinität zum Umgang mit astralen Haustieren geboren worden wäre... Es wäre keine richtige Seelenwanderung ohne ein Gimmick oder ein System, das mir den Weg zur Größe ebnet, meinst du nicht? Ich habe eins, aber ich weiß nicht, ob ich ohne es besser dran wäre... Willkommen in der Welt der astralen Haustiere!

Jeanne war erst 18 Jahre alt, als ihre Stiefmutter und ihre Stiefschwester sie reinlegten und sie alles verlor. Weil sie versuchte, sich zu wehren, wurde sie von ihrem Vater aus dem Haus geworfen. 7 Jahre später kehrte Jeanne zurück, um Rache zu üben, mit einem geheimnisvollen Sohn an ihrer Seite - George. Die Leute verspotteten sie als alleinerziehende Mutter und nannten ihren Sohn ein vaterloses Kind. "Wen nennst du ein vaterloses Kind? Du würdest mich nicht mögen, wenn ich wütend bin", drohte George. "Halt dich zurück, George! Verdirb mir nicht den Spaß! Ich habe noch nicht genug", sagte Jeanne, als sie ihre Rache genießen wollte, und ließ den Jungen sprachlos zurück. Später traf Jeanne auf einem Wohltätigkeitsball den berüchtigten Vierten Meister Schwan. Der Mann mit dem schönen Aussehen und dem kalten Temperament rief sie in eine Ecke und sagte: "Sie gefallen mir." Alle waren schockiert, auch Jeanne. "Ich bin eine alleinerziehende Mutter und habe ein Kind. Sind Sie sicher, dass Sie mich mögen?", fragte sie. "Ich mag dein Kind wirklich!" Alle anderen waren schockiert, als der Vierte Meister Schwan Jeanne heiratete, aber nur er selbst wusste, dass er nicht nur einen, sondern zwei wichtige Spieler für das Schachspiel, das er spielte, gewonnen hatte.

Eine Wissenschaftlerin, Duan Yixin, wanderte in eine andere Welt. Sie besaß den Körper eines sechzehnjährigen Mädchens, hatte aber keine ihrer Erinnerungen geerbt. Mit einer geplatzten Verlobung und ohne Geld in der Hand will sie nur in Ruhe Geld verdienen. Es ist schade, dass das Schicksal den Menschen immer wieder Streiche spielt. Als sie glaubte, endlich in Frieden leben zu können, musste sie feststellen, dass diese Welt nicht so einfach ist, wie sie dachte. Der Mann, den sie gerettet hatte, war ein berüchtigter, skrupelloser General, und die Frau, die ihren Ex-Verlobten gestohlen hatte, war die weibliche Hauptfigur dieser Welt. Sie schaute in den Himmel und fragte: "Gott, willst du mich verarschen?" Ein paar Jahre später, in ihrer Hochzeitsnacht, starrte sie ihn an und sagte ernst: "General, ich bin nicht Ihr weißes Mondlicht." Der Mann senkte seinen Kopf und flüsterte ihr ins Ohr: "Mhm, du bist nicht mein weißes Mondlicht, du bist mein Leben."

Die Erde hat eine merkwürdige Veränderung durchgemacht. Während sie sich um das Millionenfache ihrer ursprünglichen Größe ausdehnte, wurde ihre Bevölkerung plötzlich in zwei Hälften geteilt. Auf der einen Seite gab es eine Gruppe von technologisch fortgeschrittenen Menschen. Auf der anderen Seite wuchs und gedieh eine Welt der Kultivierung. Die Geheimnisse, die zu dieser Veränderung geführt haben, waren zu lange im Dunkeln verborgen... Bis zu dem Tag, an dem sich herausstellte, dass ein Junge, der auf der sterblichen Seite der Welt geboren wurde, das Talent hatte, in die Welt der Krieger einzutreten. Nachdem er beide Eltern durch eine verborgene Flut verloren hatte, beschloss er, alles, was er bisher kannte, hinter sich zu lassen und dieses Land der Gefahr zu betreten. Welche Wahrheiten würde er ans Licht bringen? Was würde er darüber erfahren, was die Sterblichen von den Kultivierenden unterscheidet? Welche verborgenen Übel wollten sicherstellen, dass sein Volk sich niemals erheben und die Macht erlangen würde? Und wie würden diese Übel... mit ihm umgehen? ---- Die Liste der Dinge, die ich hasse, ist ziemlich lang. Die erste ist, dass ich es am meisten hasse, getestet zu werden. Das zweite ist, dass ich es am meisten hasse, getestet zu werden. Die dritte ist, dass ich es am meisten hasse, geprüft zu werden. Die Tiefen des Ozeans sind zu seicht, das Licht der Sonne zu schwach, der Boden zu banal und der Himmel zu klein. Dass diejenigen, die in dieser farblosen Welt geboren wurden, sich für würdig halten, über mich zu urteilen... kann ich nur sagen, dass es lächerlich ist. Ich bin der namenlose unsterbliche Gott, denn selbst der Himmel ist nicht würdig, mir einen Namen zu geben. Selbst wenn ich mir meiner Identität nicht bewusst bin, werde ich die Ozeane austrocknen, bis nur noch rissiges Land übrig ist, ich werde die Sonne in endlose Dunkelheit stürzen, ich werde den Boden mit meinen Füßen zertrümmern und den Himmel mit meiner Klinge zerreißen. Bin ich zu arrogant? Welches Recht hast du, das zu denken? --- https:// www. artstation.com /liushuo https://discord.gg/awespec Kapitel-Belohnungssystem: (Die Basiskapitelanzahl beträgt 2/Tag und 14/Woche) Alle 100 goldenen Tickets - 1 zusätzliches Kapitel 2000 Münzen Geschenk (Drache) - 1 Extra-Kapitel 5000 Münzen Geschenk (Schloss) - 3 Extra-Kapitel 10000 Münzen Geschenk (Raumschiff) - 6 Extra-Kapitel 15000 Münzen Geschenk (Gachapon) - 10 Extra-Kapitel

[ITS MY SECOND NOVEL] [TO THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN EXTRA SETTING CAN CHECK OUT MY 1ST NOVEL] --------- "Why is the world so cruel? Power decides everything, and those without it are nothing but dust beneath the feet of the strong." Kim Eun Woo lived a quiet, ordinary life—unremarkable, forgotten, and longing for meaning. His only escape was in the pages of fantasy novels, where heroes rose from nothing and magic defied the laws of reality. But when he opened his eyes one day, Eun woo found himself no longer in his mundane world. He had been transported into the very novel he followed so closely. Yet fate was cruel. He wasn’t the protagonist, a sidekick, or even a villain. He was an extra—Kael Riveheart—a nameless, powerless figure in the shadow of Aurelius D'Verta, the destined hero of the story. In this world ruled by magic, Kael had none. He was an anomaly, out of place and forgotten, in a world where only power mattered. "Why was I brought here if all I’m meant to do is suffer? Why must I live in a world that crushes the weak beneath its heel?" Kael’s frustration grows as he watches Aurelius rise, heralded as the world’s savior. The rules of the world are set in stone: without magic, Kael is doomed to remain irrelevant, a mere speck in the grand narrative. But Kael refuses to be erased. Determined to find meaning in this cruel existence, he resolves to carve his own path in a world that deems him worthless. Armed with nothing but his will and a strange power that repels magic itself. "If the world refuses to give me a role, I’ll make one for myself. They may have magic, but I’ll show them that even the powerless can defy fate." ---------

On his first day, Alex meets Ji-hoon, a charismatic and compassionate student volunteer who helps him navigate the sprawling campus.

As Yuna becomes a close ally, she offers Alex a window into the nuances of Korean culture and the shared challenges of acceptance in a society that mirrors the stigmas he faced back home.

"Being mated to the dreadful alpha was something I could’ve never imagined," Diva thought with a heavy sigh. "Ugh! Ahh!" she screamed, throwing a pillow across the room. "I’m so frustrated with everything right now," she muttered to herself. Her voice wavered with anger as she continued, "I never liked this man! And yet, that stupid soothsayer declared I’m mated to this unmerciful brute who kills over the slightest mistake." Her words were venomous, her frustration spilling into every corner of her room. She began tearing through her belongings, scattering clothes and breaking anything in her path. A loud bang came from the door, making her pause. "Diva!" Mikael’s firm voice cut through the silence. "You have to stop this nonsense and come back to your senses. Destiny doesn’t change just because you want it to." "Go away, Mikael!" Diva snapped, her voice cracking with desperation. "I hear you, loud and clear," Mikael replied with an edge of sarcasm. "But when you’re ready to stop acting like a child, don’t forget to call me. I’ll always be there, whether you like it or not." His tone softened slightly, but the sound of his footsteps walking away came swiftly after. Diva leaned her back against the door, sliding down to the floor as tears streamed down her cheeks. It felt like her whole world had been flipped upside down. She wiped at her face but couldn’t stop the sobs from breaking free. "Why him?" she whispered into the empty room. "Of all the people in the world, why did it have to be Derek?" Her mind raced with memories of Derek—the cold, piercing eyes that seemed to see through everyone, the air of authority that silenced even the boldest warriors, and the bloodstained rumors of his merciless reign. A knock came at the door again, softer this time. "Diva," Mikael’s voice was gentler now. "I know this isn’t easy for you. But running from it won’t change the truth. You need to face him. Talk to him. Maybe he’s not as bad as you think." She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. "Not as bad as I think? You don’t know him, Mikael. You don’t know what he’s capable of." "And neither do you," Mikael replied. "Maybe it’s time you found out." The silence that followed was deafening. Diva closed her eyes, her head dropping to her knees. She wanted to scream, to protest, to demand a different fate. But deep down, she knew Mikael was right. "Why does it feel like my life has been sold off to the devil himself?" she murmured. Her thoughts were interrupted by a chilling gust of wind that swept through the open window. She froze, her eyes darting to the curtains billowing in the night air. For a moment, she felt as if she was being watched. "Destiny, huh?" she whispered bitterly, glancing at the reflection of her tear-streaked face in the shattered mirror across the room. "If this is my destiny, then fate has made a terrible mistake."

Alticia, a 120-year-old high elf with the grace of a swan (that keeps tripping over its own feet), has one dream: to become a legendary bard who inspires the world with her songs. There’s just one small problem. Her singing is so catastrophically bad that even goblins cover their ears, birds fall from the sky, and the village elder pretends to be hard of hearing. Armed with a handmade staff, an unwavering (and completely misplaced) confidence, and a repertoire of songs that can make plants wither, Alticia sets off to save her village from a goblin invasion. Her plan? Sing them into submission. Join Alticia on a hilariously disastrous journey through a medieval fantasy world where she battles monsters, gets lost in the woods, and somehow—somehow—keeps surviving her own mistakes. Because when you can’t fight, run, or think straight, you just have to sing your way through life. Off-key, of course. Can Alticia turn her "unique" talents into something great, or will her journey be a symphony of chaos?
