[2022 Best Newcomer Award Nomination] [No. 1 Bestseller in the 10th Sci-Fi Starlight Awards] [First Prize in the 2022 Sci-Fi Writing Contest] Saviors are ranked in different classes. An unranked savior is inefficient, taking years or even decades to save the world, leaving countless people to suffer in the meantime, and in the end, they might not even succeed. A third-rate savior is manipulated by conspirators throughout their life, ignorant and controlled like a puppet in someone else’s hands. A second-rate savior sacrifices greatly to save the world, enduring the death of a spouse, disability, the loss of close friends, and other hardships, only to gain an empty reputation or a gravestone epitaph. “Those saviors all have it too hard. I don’t want to be like them. I want to be a first-class savior!” “You ask me, what is a first-class savior?” “Saving the world at light speed!” “No casualties!” “Profiting wildly!” “Using the sword of the present to slay the future before it arrives, snuffing out the apocalypse in its cradle, acting entirely on my own will, and reaping the rewards I deserve!” “That’s what it means to be a first-class savior!” Stellar voyages, space-time travel, mechanical technology—the goal is the vast and unknown sea of stars!

Haruki Tenma is the kind of boy no one ever notices twice. Calm, quiet, and a little too good at staying invisible. His only real passion? Capturing fleeting moments through the lens of his camera. Miyako Hanabira is the girl everyone notices. Loud, stylish, unpredictable and way out of Haruki’s league. She’s the type who goes viral without trying and laughs in the face of rules. To her, Haruki was just a "safe friend" the background guy with a good heart and no game. Until one accidental photo submission... turns into a national contest win. And that photo? A cosplay shot of Miyako so perfect, so romantic, it gets them entered into a government-sponsored symbolic youth marriage program. Now they’re **secretly married**. Legally? Yes. Emotionally? Absolutely not. Romantically? …Well, that’s complicated. To avoid a scandal, the two agree to fake nothing, feel nothing, and just wait it out until graduation. But as they share mornings, dinners, house chores, festivals, and after-practice walks under cherry blossoms—something fragile and real starts to bloom between them. They’re not dating. They’re just married. So why does it feel like love?

Beneath the starry sky of a new era, trade wars erupt, interstellar conflicts rage, resources are fiercely contested, and noble houses clash with ever-growing intensity. It is the best of times—an age where dreams are permitted. It is the worst of times—where all who carry ideals march forward, only to be buried by the tide. From the slums rises Lin Hai, a streetwise youth with nothing to lose. Sharp as a blade and reckless as fire, he carves open the fabric of this era with brutal defiance. In every man’s heart lies a yearning—for the stars and the sea. And so, in this world… there ought to be heroes.

Li Empire is the largest and most prosperous territory in Yuan Continent—on the surface. Internally, it is divided: ministers collude with nobility, the empress and empress dowager contest for power, and the emperor faces threat of illegitimacy as long as his brother lives. That is why, when Li Zhen Tian meets the kind and carefree Yang Zi Hua who understands him beyond the Dragon Throne, he irrevocably falls in love and makes her his consort. However, the imperial palace's harsh reality shatters Zi Hua's dream of a peaceful life. Amidst jealous love rivals and endless plots, a seed of doubt is sown. Can their love flourish against adversity, or is it destined to wither like a flower past spring? *** Shangguan Jiu was Zi Hua's best friend—and her complete opposite. Cunning, rational, and fiercely ambitious, Jiu enters the rear palace to accomplish everything her friend couldn't. Though as she schemes for glory and honour, she realises the only way for a woman to be in power is not through a man's heart... but to be the hand controlling him. Old enemies and grievances surface, while political tensions escalate with neighbouring nations, heralding a new era. Love and war arise; tears and kingdoms fall. Does the ruler wear the crown, or are they a prisoner of the throne? *** Notes: Cover art from Pinterest 2 Female leads Palace drama > political intrigue > warfare

--WSA 2025 ENTRY-- Neraxis saved the people and wiped out the monsters, but instead of cheers, he faced silence and a glowing blue text: [Task Failed Successfully!] [Rating Generated: SSS-Rank] "The hell does that even mean?" he muttered, finding the situation a bit strange. Before he could process, the so-called heroes—who had hidden while he fought—emerged. He waited for gratitude, only to feel a dagger pierce his back. The only girl he loved stood behind him. She betrayed him. The crowd and heroes? They were staring at him with disdain and contempt. "You..." he groaned as a spear and sword headed for him, ending his life. But instead of dying, he was sent back to the past—specifically, to the first day of the academy, year 2367, 8 years before his death. However, many things had changed. One of the most significant was the sudden appearance of a Tower, a mysterious structure that had appeared across all the continents, granting power to those brave enough to contest its challenges. "Not again... With this chance I will end you all" Neraxis vowed to himself, embarking on his path of revenge, while also trying to give his life new meaning. ***** Disclaimer: MC is not instantly going to be a villain, as his background is that of a hero. The switch will be gradual in accordance with the events that happen along the way. Some snippets of such events have already been teased :) *****

By day, Joon-ho runs a discreet, high-end massage clinic in Seoul, specializing in pain relief and body alignment. But behind the soundproof doors, his true gift lies in reading the deepest cravings of the women who walk through his door—and giving their bodies exactly what they need. From overworked executives to national celebrities, no woman leaves untouched—or unchanged. When Harin, his former campus crush turned office worker, reenters his life, one night of pleasure turns into something far more dangerous: connection, obsession, and a partnership that blurs every boundary between business, pleasure, and possession. Now, she’s not just in his bed. She’s in his clinic. His lap. His world. And she wants to watch everything.

In a fractured multiverse where worlds collide and vanish, a mysterious and deadly game unfolds. Players from across realms—heroes, outcasts, and those lost to time—are summoned to compete in a brutal trial of survival. Each level of the labyrinth challenges their strength, cunning, and morality, pushing them ever closer to a dark unknown. At the heart of this cruel contest lies a secret: the labyrinth’s true purpose is far beyond the players’ comprehension. With each victory, the stakes rise, revealing layers of treachery, forgotten histories, and runes that bind the fates of the competitors in ways they can't begin to understand. As alliances form and break, and the game’s true architect lurks just out of reach, players must confront their deepest fears—and uncover the truth behind the labyrinth’s creation before it consumes them all. In this unforgiving world, there are no easy answers, and the path to victory is a descent into madness.

~•No Escape•~ "Are you running away from me, my sweet girl" spoke a voice in the hallway that made her stop in her tracks. The hallway had turned dark with only the wall lamps that burned brightly casting the shadow of the man on the floor as he slowly emerged from the other end. "What are you doing here, your majesty," She said and bowed immediately as she saw him approach her with slow but steady steps. "You haven't answered me, sweet" The man said with a sweet smile that made her wary and he heard the way her heart skipped a beat. He stood before her and used his index finger to raise her chin. He tilted his head as he gazed into her green eyes that looked back at him with fear. He took a step forward closing the distance between them and his eyes narrowed when she took a step back, but that didn't stop him from cornering her. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He continued to question and she didn't miss the mockery behind his words. "I…I" she felt her words tied to her tongue because of the man's daunting aura. She felt him trace her forehead with his finger down to her jaw. He continued moving his hand down to her neck and to the top of her swell and her thudding heart hitched when his hand continued to stay there. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He bent towards her as he spoke. His breath fell on her neck which sent a jolt that traveled down her body. "I told you, you're tied to me and me to you" _______________________ Perdita Kartar was a winsome yet strange young lady. She had an appealing beauty with her green eyes that invoked and impelled anyone who gazed into them. She had fooled her villagers so she could live and protect herself and her remaining family from the night creatures and also humans. But what was bizarre of all, was that Perdita had a secret she shared with no one. She had lived in the village since she was little, and over the years, she had been discreet with each move she made. Unfortunately, things didn't go as she planned. Despite her cautious decorum and fight to stay out of sight, a pair of glacial red eyes falls on her, which followed and refused to leave her out of sight.

She hosted eleven fun contests after Christmas, which were Red Wine Brewing Contest, Music Contest, Dancing Contest, Ghost Storytelling Contest, Talent Show Contest, Costume Design Contest, Cooking Contest, Dragon Riding Contest, Horror Storytelling Contest, Romance Storytelling Contest and Fantasy Storytelling Contest. She hosted resurrection ceremonies in Heaven Company for six days, threw thirty chosen souls into another world, and entered another world on her own in the last day, in search of the better self. When she came to her destiny's crossroads, she chose the path not taken, and wondered how things might have been different.

*This is my entry for the WSA 2025 Contest!* This story revolves around Ashton Grace, a delinquent with a brash personality and a rough past. Ashton lives day to day in an endless, boring cycle of school, beating rival gangs, and skipping on stupid, mundane homework until his 18th birthday arrives, and his life changes forever. On his 18th birthday, a cursed demon sealed within Ashton awakens, changing the course of his life and even Ashton's unknown future unexpectedly. To find answers of his existence and to rid of the demonic curse, Ashton must work with Co, an underground exorcist organization that purifies demons lurking in the human realm to rid of powerful devils within the city of Tsurugi. Now to purify the world of demons and devils, Ashton must also work with Jin Itsuki, one of the top exorcist of Co nick-named Mad Dog, and seemingly the only person who can tame the demon inside of Ashton. Unexpectedly, of course, that comes with many problems--one with being falling in love with the one man who hates demons the most. Turning 18 is the worse, ain't it? —————————————————— ADDITIONAL TAGS: #ACTION #HORROR #SUPERNATURAL #THRILLER #ENEMIESTOLOVERS #FIRSTLOVE #TRADGEY #DEMONS #ANGELS —————————————————— Chose Your Agent:

A game is about to begin—a ruthless contest of blood and death where mercy is a forgotten word. The weak will be trampled, the innocent will be devoured, and only the cunning, the ruthless, and the unparalleled will rise. This is no ordinary game; the wager? it's nothing less than the world itself. But isn’t that what makes it thrilling? After all, what fun is a game if survival comes easy?

Super Thriller Live One stream. One player. One fatal choice. Every night at midnight, a chilling broadcast appears on the dark web — Super Thriller Live. No one knows who runs it. No one knows where it's filmed. But one rule is always the same: A random viewer is selected. They must play the game. If they win, they’re rewarded. If they fail... they die. Gao Jian, a quiet night shift worker with a troubled past, thought he was just another late-night viewer. But when his screen flickers and his name appears as the next contestant, reality warps into a living nightmare. Transported into a series of escalating horror scenarios — each more brutal, psychological, and surreal than the last — Gao Jian must follow the unseen host’s twisted instructions while millions watch in silence. With the world questioning whether the stream is real or just the most elaborate horror show ever made, Gao Jian must navigate a deadly maze of puzzles, hallucinations, and buried traumas. The reward: freedom and a second chance at life. The price of failure: live-streamed death. But Gao Jian isn’t just a player. He’s starting to remember things… things that connect him to the game in ways he never imagined. What if you weren’t just playing for your life? What if the game was playing you?

They’re broke. They’re emotionally unavailable. They’re probably not licensed to do any of this. But somehow… they keep saving the world by accident. Meet Kazuki Kuroda, a washed-up conman with a mysterious past, a strawberry milk addiction, and a gift for lying through his teeth. Leading a team of psychic freeloaders, demon cats, and emotionally unstable sidekicks, he takes on odd jobs no one else wants—ghost infestations, psychic toddlers, cursed ramen contests… He never means to be a hero. He just wants lunch. But when a simple errand spirals into citywide chaos, Kazuki and his ragtag crew get mistaken for world-saving legends. Again. Between possessed microwaves, fake god impersonations, accidental cult leadership, and one very emotional haunted bathroom ghost, things start getting weird. And dangerous. Because beneath the punchlines and pratfalls… something darker is stirring. And Kazuki? He’s not just lying to the world. He’s lying to himself.
