"My dear reader, am I a fool?" Charssein Noir has always felt like something is off. Maybe it’s the constant sense of being watched. Maybe it’s the way his own drawings seem to change when he’s not looking. Or maybe it’s the fact that a mysterious new student, Neil Varian, knows things about him that no one else should. What starts as an unsettling feeling soon spirals into something far worse—glitches in reality, missing memories, and an overwhelming sense that his life is not his own. As Charssein searches for answers, he is thrown into a twisted game of existence where his past versions haunt him, his future is uncertain, and the person pulling the strings might be the only one who refuses to let him go. But the truth is cruel. And if he digs too deep, he may uncover something he was never meant to find— That he is nothing more than a story waiting to be rewritten. A dark psychological BL thriller with mystery, obsession, and a love that defies reality.

They Weren’t Just Hot Aliens—They Were Beast Men Too. And Now? The Universe Was Breaking Apart. ——————————————————— Hot Alien Lords. An Apocalypse. Strange Universes. A Glitching Storyline. Secrets, Betrayal, and a Fight for Survival. ——————————————————— She was just an overworked, underpaid author who fell asleep mid-chapter—only to wake up as a maid in her own novel. The bad news? She was trapped in the castle of three devastatingly attractive alien lords, brothers whose power could crush her in an instant. The worse news? In a world where females were plain at best, she’d somehow become the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous woman alive. Now, every jealous (and horrifyingly ugly) female wanted her dead, and the lords? They wouldn’t stop looking at her like she was their next meal. Her insider knowledge of the plot should’ve been her golden ticket, but the story? It was glitching. She’d written them as hot aliens who could transform into beasts—snakes, lions, and jaguars, to be exact. But seeing it firsthand? Terrifying. Their movements blurred the line between man and monster, predatory gazes locking onto her with an intensity she never typed into existence. Was this how they’d always been? Or was the world twisting into something else? Then came the real horror. An apocalyptic infection was spreading beyond the castle walls. People were mutating, becoming something... inhuman. The world itself was fracturing, opening doors to unknown universes that were never part of her original draft. One brother craved her like an obsession. Another wanted to break her. And the third? He carried a secret that could destroy everything. Thalina thought the lords would be the only males she’d have to mate with. Now? She wasn’t so sure. Between a castle full of murderous women, the dangerous desire of three alien beastmen, and a storyline spiraling out of her control, survival wasn’t just a goal anymore—it was the only thing keeping her from becoming another twisted piece of the story. Can she escape her own creation, or is she fated to die in a world she never meant to live in?

Ding!!! [WARNING: New System Detected!] [Tag: Threat!] [Tag: Wanted!] [Tag: Dangerous!] ... Dimm was only able to afford at most one-square-meal in a day, through begging. That was how difficult life had been for him. A beggar at just fourteen years of age. Then what happened... His life changed. Or, call it his second life.

After reincarnating eight times unsuccessfully due to a glitch in the netherworld, Jia Hao finally reincarnated in the world of Urban Fantasy, an eroge game that he played before. However, he realized the game was currently in the bad ending mode and he is powerless like a side character without any game system. Skinny dude who blackmails girls? Check! Fat Ugly Uncle who lusts after women? Check! Blonde haired delinquent whose eyes are covered with bangs? Check! As Jia Hao was wrecking his brain to how to change the plot, he found a mysterious pot that can take him into an ancient world, and the items he brought from the modern world transformed into heavenly treasures! " Now, you dare to gaze at my women? My dear wives! Beat him to death!" Jia Hao ordered as he leaned back on the chair like a salted fish.

Sho wakes up in darkness. No memory. No answers. Only the cold, insistent voice of a system pushing him forward. Survive. Climb the floors. Escape. But when Sho chooses his class, something glitches. The system falters. Reality bends. And suddenly, he’s no longer sure if he’s the one in control. The tutorial is just the beginning. As the layers of his existence unravel, the true nightmare begins. And nothing is as it seems.

Kai’s life was small—coffee-stained mornings, cracked recipes, and a system in his head that tweaked toasters and dough like it was nothing. Then the sky shattered. Aliens—Skraiths, jagged and brutal—invaded, tearing his city apart with green-glowing weapons and relentless claws. Superhumans rose to fight back, fire and lightning blazing through the chaos, but Kai’s world crumbled with them. Hiding in his apartment, Kai stumbles on blood—human and alien, smeared on his wall after a superhuman battle. His system, once just a tinker’s tool, awakens, offering him a choice: mimic their powers, temporary and wild, through the blood itself. Desperate, he takes it—stealing pyrokinesis, then electrokinesis, then kinetic energy, each power burning through him, fading fast. But it’s not enough. Armed with a humming Skraith weapon and a body tougher from alien blood, Kai joins a ragtag crew of enhanced fighters—Liv, Rylan, Jace, and Tucker—scraping to survive in a warzone where every shadow hides death. As Skraiths swarm and the city burns, Kai’s system pushes him deeper, analyzing, integrating, crafting minor enhancements—durability, strength, sparks of power that could make him a target or a savior. Government factions, rogue scientists, and the aliens themselves start sniffing around, drawn to his strange tech and blood-stolen abilities. By the time Kai crafts his first super-powered enhancement—an artificial strength boost—he’s no longer just a tinkerer. He’s on the edge of something bigger, something dangerous, where blood and sparks could forge a hero—or break him entirely. In a world unraveling, Kai’s fight for survival becomes a desperate race to master his system, outrun the Skraiths, and confront the truth: the power he’s chasing might destroy him—or remake the world.

She’ll die a thousand times to save her brother… even if she forgets why.

Will Alex escape the plot—or become the villain of their own tale? (Daily Uploads are planned)

I dropped it cause it was rejected lmao [Genesis System rebooting after 76 years of inactivity.] [Administrator Slot: Vacant.] [New Administrator Confirmed:—] The screen flickers. For a moment, the letters distort—glitching between gold and blood-red. A name appears. [Administrator Confirmed:—Elias Vaughn.] A sharp ringing fills my ears. The name means nothing to me, but the system hesitates. The text wavers, blurring, like it’s… realizing its mistake. Then, the letters dissolve. [Administrator Identity Error.] [Correcting…] [New Administrator Confirmed: Christian Arkwright.] A cold shiver crawls down my spine. I open my eyes, and the world isn’t mine. My breath catches—too soft, too light. My limbs ache, but they feel… small? My fingers curl. Slender. Pale. Delicate. This isn’t my body. The floating screen pulses again, words forming in golden light. [Primary Abilities Bestowed:] Creation Magic Spatial Manipulation Magic? My mind stutters, but before I can process it, another notification flashes. [Warning: You are a Deviant.] [Deviants are to be executed by royal decree.] [Status: In Hiding.] I freeze. No second chances. No learning curve. The moment someone discovers my power, I die. Then, the screen flickers again—this time, the text warps on its own. The golden glow dims, and a final message, faint and fragmented, pushes through. [If you are reading this… you are the last.] My pulse pounds in my ears. A soft static hums in the air. [The world has forgotten me, but you must not forget what I left behind.] [Survive. Learn. And when the time comes… create hope again.] Then—so quiet it’s almost lost in the noise—comes a whisper. “Welcome back, Elias.” A pause. A hesitation. The system flicks as if to correct itself. “…Welcome back, Christian.”

The world ended in an instant. One moment, Ethan Vale was just another guy struggling to get by. The next, reality itself was rewritten by a mysterious System, transforming Earth into a brutal game where only the strongest survive. Monsters roam the streets, cities collapse, and the System forces every survivor to fight, level up, or die trying. But when Ethan awakens after the Apocalypse Update, he discovers something no one else has—his player profile is broken. No assigned class. No starting perks. Nothing. And yet… he’s still alive. As chaos erupts and humanity fractures into warring factions, Ethan realizes that his glitched status isn’t a curse—it’s an opportunity. With the unique ability to exploit the System itself, he can break rules, manipulate reality, and uncover secrets no other player can access. But there’s a price. The System isn’t just a game—it has a purpose. And Ethan? He’s an anomaly. A threat. Hunted by monsters, rival players, and forces beyond comprehension, he must carve his own path, unlocking the truth behind the System before it erases him for good. In a world where only one rule matters—Adapt or die—Ethan might just become something the System never accounted for. The Last Player.

When CERN's collider collapsed into an 11D obsidian sanctum, I became the city's last glitching data stream. Vampires etch reverse-thermodynamic laws into neon with entropy algorithms, werewolf howls rip gauge field fissures—and my DNA helix encodes Yang-Mills steady-state solutions, each activation carving three years from my quantum-chronometer heart. 72 hours to either blood-recompile the cosmic code or watch humanity forged into Observer Civilization's dimensional anchors.

Japan – National News Broadcast The polished news anchor sat upright, her gaze sharp as she adjusted the stack of papers before her. The newsroom behind her hummed with quiet urgency, the weight of the moment settling over the broadcast. "Authorities are baffled by a sudden and unexplained surge in sleep-related deaths across Japan," she began, her voice steady yet tense. "More and more citizens are passing away in their sleep without any prior health concerns. Experts are working tirelessly to determine the cause, but no clear explanation has emerged. Authorities urge the public to remain vigilant and report any unusual symptoms before bedtime." A graphic appeared, displaying the spike in fatalities over the past month. Behind her, unsettling photographs flickered across the screen—blurred images of individuals found in their beds, their faces frozen in expressions of terror. The anchor’s tone shifted. "Health officials recommend citizens avoid excessive fatigue and maintain healthy sleep habits. More updates will follow as investigations continue." --- United States – Paranormal Podcast In a dimly lit podcast studio, the host leaned forward, his eyes wide with curiosity. Across from him, a rugged man in a worn flannel shirt, gripping a faded photograph in one hand and a beer can in the other, leaned back in his chair. "So, you're telling me you saw this creature firsthand?" the host asked, clearly intrigued. The man scoffed, shaking his head. "Damn right, I did. Ugly thing had wings bigger than my body—slow but sneaky. Thought it could steal my pigs again, but I was ready this time—camera in one hand, shotgun in the other." He slammed the table for emphasis, then shoved the blurry image toward the host. The photograph depicted a small, red-skinned humanoid figure with large, bat-like wings, its eyes glowing faintly in the darkness. "Spit, the thing didn’t know what hit it when I fired!" the man chuckled, his voice full of excitement. The host held up the picture to the live chat. "Alright, what do you think? Mothman? Demon? Or is our friend here just seeing things?" The chat exploded with theories—some skeptical, others eager for the investigation to continue. --- China – Liangyuan Street Market Surveillance footage from a bustling night market in China captured a chilling scene. A woman in a red qipao walked gracefully through the crowd, her figure striking in the soft glow of lanterns. Suddenly, she paused. Her body flickered—like a glitch in a video—before vanishing completely, as though she had never existed. The footage zoomed in, replaying in slow motion. In the final frame before she disappeared, her face distorted unnaturally, her eyes hollow and empty. The screen cut abruptly to black.

The world ended without warning. Cities fell. People died. And yet, the true nightmare was only beginning. Luca was never a good person, but in this new world, that hardly matters. Survival isn’t about strength—it’s about adaptation. Some call him a monster, others a necessary evil. He doesn’t care. As long as the people he values stay alive, nothing else matters. But survival comes with a price. Power always does. And as the line between man and monster blurs, Luca is forced to ask himself: When does survival stop being enough?

In the city of Neon Mirage, where the neon lights never dim and the corporations own your soul, I... Wait! Stop it! this is all wrong. This isn’t how it happens. It’s not how I remember it. Something’s glitching, again. This isn’t the story. It’s not even close. Forget all of that. The city, my life—none of it matters. What matters is how I’m going to fix this mess. How I’ll tear apart the reality they’ve shoved me into. And if I survive long enough to even find out what’s real. Because—and this is important—nothing in my brain is ever what it seems. Now, where was I? Oh yeah. Survival.

"Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell." That’s the one thing everyone knows. But for our microscopic protagonist, let’s call him Cyto (short for Cytoplasm, because he’s unoriginal), that’s about the only thing that makes sense. Waking up in a petri dish of existential dread, Cyto has no idea what he is, where he came from, or why he’s suddenly aware. All he knows is that something weird happened—like, really weird—and now he’s stuck trying to figure out what the fuck is going on. Armed with nothing but his wits (and maybe a few cell organelles), he sets out to figure out what the fuck is going on with the nagging feeling that he’s not just a cell. Is this all just some cosmic glitch?

What happens when reality starts to bug out and your life as you know it is flipped upside down? Anomalies that couldn't possibly exist start to pop out of nowhere. This was the exact situation Magnus found himself in after a bizarre glitch yanked him from his own universe and tossed him into another. In this new, fantastical world brimming with magic and supernatural phenomena, Magnus's unexpected arrival landed him in possession of the Command Console, a tool that seems to be able to edit almost anything. With it, Magnus creates a variety of supernatural abilities that defy all common sense, even in a world of fantasy. Whether it was one that granted him truly endless strength or the ability to create detailed simulations of reality within his own mind, anything was possible. But Magnus isn't the only instance of such logic-defying abilities. All over the world, glitches are starting to manifest in weird ways: a brick that could knock anything unconscious with a single touch, a child whose perception of the world could affect reality, or even a woman who was, inexplicably, everyone's mother—there seemed to be no rhyme or reason behind any of them. When faced with all of these chaotic elements, Magnus comes to a decision. "Alright, if these are all glitches, then I'll simply have to be the one to fix them."

"Congratulations, You Have Died! Would You Like to Subscribe to Corporate Hell?" Ephraim Larkspur didn't expect to wake up after dramatically yeeting himself off a bridge—but he definitely didn't expect to wake up as a fresh recruit in the afterlife's most underpaid, overworked startup: the Savior System Department. The job description? Travel to different worlds, play the role of cannon fodder, and rescue trapped Mission Takers from bad endings before they permanently glitch out of existence. The benefits? None. The salary? Negative. The uniform? A corporate-looking uniform that would make even the most patient saint commit workplace violence. With a snarky, charming, wife-loving System partner whispering in his ear and a whole roster of doomed, beautiful characters waiting to be saved (or accidentally seduced) across countless worlds, Ephraim's afterlife is about to be a never-ending shitpost with existential consequences.

Evan Holt, a 32-year-old London IT grunt, was chasing glitches when a storm cut his story short.

For years, humanity has lived without the knowledge of the Server, a mysterious force whose influence has always been pervasive but never as unsettlingly real as it is now. The world is riddled with Glitches, forces that cause irrepressible damage to the Earth's cores and its foundation.

Cassian Voss lives an ordinary life—work, family, responsibilities—until the dreams begin. Every night, he finds himself in the bodies of strangers, reliving their final moments before the world ends in fire and shadow. Meteors fall, people collapse into an unnatural sleep, and something lurks in the darkness, feeding on the helpless. At first, Cass chalks it up to stress or overwork, but the dreams refuse to fade. Worse, reality itself starts to crack—glitches in the world, missing people no one remembers, conversations looping as if the world is trying to correct itself. His best friend, Rich, has noticed it too. And then there’s her—the mysterious girl who always appears at the end of his dreams, whispering the same urgent words: "You have to wake up." But wake up from what? As Cass digs deeper, the world pushes back. The more he questions, the more dangerous things become. If the dreams are more than nightmares, if the world around him isn’t what it seems…then what happens when he finally pieces it all together? Something is hunting him. Something doesn’t want him to know the truth. And once he does—there may be no way back.
