Lucan Ironfist came from a noble family, but he wasn't the eldest son. When his brother became the head of the family and he turned 18, Lucan would become a commoner. A strange rule, but that's how it was. So Lucan began to think of a way to live a peaceful life. As he was considering this, his mother arranged for him to become a priest in another city. A priest didn't have to worry about food or housing, and all he had to do was watch over the temple and the statue. It was easy work, so he agreed and arrived at the city. One day, as he was watching over the temple and the statue, a poor-looking girl came to pray. When she prayed to God, light gathered around her body. Lucan was surprised and suddenly remembered the plot of a certain game. Originally, Lucan was from Earth and had traveled to this fantasy world. When he was on Earth, he played a game with a plot where a merchant family's illegitimate daughter, bullied by her family, awakened the power of a saint. Lucan decided to keep this secret and train the saint so that in the future, he could have an easy life and save himself from any crises. --- **Please do not rate the novel until you have read at least 20 chapters.

The new global virus was only the beginning. After the majority of the population was infected, the virus began to cause mutations within the human body, as if it were a program controlling its host. Within half a month, 99% of the infected life forms turned into uncontrollable monsters. Shao Ming, who was studying abroad in the UK, received word that there still existed an uninfected safe zone back in his distant homeland. Now, he must cross the entire Eurasian continent to find that last piece of untouched land. Without a system, without superhuman abilities, without evolution, the only thing he can rely on is the weapon in his hand and the train running on the tracks. Traversing the wasteland, we lose not only our loved ones, but also the humanity that is gradually erased. Scavenging supplies, rescuing survivors, upgrading the train, reinforcing the carriages, follow the protagonist—fighting through the obstacles and heading toward the final safe zone.

In the year 3450, Earth is a graveyard of its former glory. A devastating virus unleashed horrors that reshaped the planet, wiping out most of humanity and twisting life into grotesque abominations. Amid the ruins, a man walks unscathed—Keir, a survivor cursed with a mutation that grants him eternal youth and regeneration. Immune to time and death, he has watched centuries pass in a world overrun by monsters, with no hope of salvation. But Keir doesn’t seek salvation. He seeks freedom. Haunted by solitude and driven by an unrelenting hunger to escape the planet, Keir will stop at nothing to break free. His pursuit of ancient technology, the remnants of humanity’s golden age takes him into the depths of forgotten ruins and the heart of mutated wastelands. In his quest, he leaves a trail of destruction: rival survivors betrayed, innocents sacrificed, and settlements razed. His humanity has long since withered, replaced by an unyielding resolve and a chilling indifference to the lives around him. As decades stretch into centuries, Keir grows colder and more ruthless, his obsession consuming him. But the cost of freedom is steep, and Earth is not so easily escaped. In a world where life has mutated beyond recognition, Keir must confront not only the horrors that hunt him but the horrors within himself. For what is freedom worth when it’s bought with blood, and who is Keir if he abandons the last vestiges of his humanity? In a story of darkness, ambition, and the price of survival, Keir will learn that the greatest prison may not be Earth—but the monster he has become.

Several decades since the last Human War, and the World is almost back at its former glory. The scars of the last War can now only be found in the history books. After two millennia of self destruction, humanity finally managed to unify as a group under the rule of the Six Council. Under its regime, the remaining 156 countries around the world swore an oath to work toward peace and harmony. War becomes a taboo, and any country who breaks this rule will be punished severely. Technology progresses relatively fast in this so-called Utopia. Full dive technology that allows the user to experience a dream like reality known as VR (Virtual Reality) became really popular especially to the gaming industry. A world to escape humanity’s Utopia. Unlike reality who is heavily regulated by the rules and regulations of the Six Council. Virtual Reality becomes a symbol of freedom, far from the shackles that binds the current society. 2064 Human Era, a VRMMO (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online) game, was launched on its Closed BETA test, Hollow Earth Online. With the game under the most popular genres: Action, Fantasy, RPG (Role Playing Game), many people were keen to try and play the game. After all, HEO's predecessor Arcadia Online, a game released by Atlas Inc. several years ago that garnered a few million players around the globe. Unlike Arcadia, HEO’s world is scaled like the world, a virtual reality under a single instance. Just like a typical fantasy rpg, HEO has one thing that reality lacks, “Magic” a phenomena that can’t be explained nor recreated by science. A world where magic exists and you can be whatever you want, or so everyone thought. Several thousand players worldwide received invitations to participate in the three-day Closed Beta Test event. Asriel, a college student, was among those who received an invitation email from Atlas Inc. to partake in the event as a Beta Tester. HEO seemed like just another fantasy VRMMO from a well-known developer, living up to everyone's expectations. However, little did they know, it was actually the prelude to an apocalypse unlike anything humanity had faced in the last two millennia.

Do you believe in magic? The answer of most will be no. But what if magic DID exsist? To some, it might just be your typical average story. But this has an element of unpredictability mixed in between. Diane Lewis was a normal teenage girl from an aristocratic family. But since she met HIM, her view of the world turned upside down. "How is that even possible?" She asked, mouth agape. He smiled at her, showing a perfect set of snow-white teeth. "With magic, anything is possible." Horn your skills and train your ability. "I will protect you." She said, with a determined gaze. "You can Barely even protect yourself. You are not strong enough." He retorted. "Then, just wait for Me to get stronger." She said, with a smile. "You have no right to be here. We cut ties remember?" He said, glaring at her fiercely. "I am not here for you. I am here for the family. I still have people I treasure here. So let me through or else..." She completed her statement by majestically drawing out her sword. So many secrets lay hidden. Injustice in the form of justice. Lies, fabricated to become truth. Deception roams around, unleashed. And a Naive girl, who had never seen the shadow that lurked around in the abyss. Will she Survive? Will she fail? It is up to you to find out.

In the year 1018 of the Heavenly Golden Dragon Calendar, the Riverscale Academy hums with life, where young aspirants of the Riverscale Clan seek to master the ancient art of Vein-Weaving—a spiritual connection between the physical body and the life-force known as World Qi. Among these individuals stands Xianlu Koichi, a prodigy with a lineage clouded by hardship and limitations, but fueled by an unyielding resolve to rewrite his destiny. Xianlu’s journey begins within the hallowed halls of Riverscale Academy, where his uncle Yuhen Koichi, a scholar of immense wisdom despite his frail body, imparts ancient tales of the Tea Koi—magical koi infused with the essence of different teas, revered for their power to protect harmony. These stories, filled with battles against the malevolent beasts, inspire Xianlu not just to study, but to transcend his own limitations. For while his veins may falter in conventional cultivation, his mind and understanding of Vein-Weaving offer him a unique path forward—a way to forge a legacy that resonates with the spirit of the legendary Tea Dragons. Through trial and sacrifice, Xianlu discovers his place among the students of Riverscale, earning respect through his keen intellect and compassion. Unlike others born with noble bloodlines, Xianlu relies on the purity of his heart and the unbreakable connection to World Qi. His vision goes beyond power—he seeks to help others who have been told they are unworthy, to carve a space for those deemed ‘less than’ in a society obsessed with lineage and strength. Yet, as Xianlu continues to grow, a deeper destiny stirs within him. It is in the crucible of hardship and failure that he awakens as something more—a master puppeteer of fate itself. Through the mastery of Virtue as his weapon, Xianlu perfects the Riverscale Clan according to his will, reshaping its future with wisdom and compassion. His threads of destiny are not bound by strength alone, but by the subtle manipulation of balance, weaving a new era where the marginalized rise, and harmony is restored through unity.

On the global launch day of Age of Empires IX, an ordinary gamer named Arthur unexpectedly finds himself transported into a medieval-style fantasy world. Here, swords clash with schemes, and blood meets iron. No longer the player controlling the battlefield, Arthur is reduced to the lowest rung of the feudal hierarchy—a humble knight’s squire.

Year, 2025. The surface of the world seems ordinary but holds chaos below its serene disguise. Serial killers, demons, and supernatural beings stalk their victims into a dark end, their crime hidden by governments. A hidden organization called The Vanguard protects humankind. Its members, working in the dark, have skills, ancient relics, and highly advanced technology. They hunt and bring out to the open these dark creatures. When a series of brutal murders points to an ancient demon cult, an elite team of operatives is dispatched to investigate. Each member of the team brings with them a unique ability and a haunted past: Nicolai, the soldier turned tracker; Dana, the mathematician who bends probabilities; Nikkie, the mimic with a knack for deception; Elie, the physicist wielding the power of decay; AJ, the tech genius crafting devices to trap the unthinkable; Jan, the shadow manipulator with a price to pay; Krist, the body-bending brawler; and Lykan, the seer burdened by glimpses of a fractured future. They would unravel all the secrets behind the cult until they found the real conspiracy behind their threats towards a fragile equilibrium of humanity with the supernatural world. In such a world, where lines of predator and prey blurred into each other, the Vanguard needed to conquer the fears both against the monster and with one another.
