His journey becomes a careful balancing act: navigating dangerous alliances, outsmarting rivals, and rising through the ranks of the game's ever-changing world. Unbeknownst to him, a shadowy organization is watching from the background, intrigued by his potential. As he ascends through the game’s brutal challenges, Lucas must uncover the mysteries of Ethereal Nexus while securing the safety of his sister in the real world. In a game where manipulation, strategy, and power are the only currencies, the path to victory may come at the cost of his own humanity. ---- 50 Power stones = 1 Extra Chapter!

Check out my new novel: My Seven Beautiful Sins! °°°°° Alexander Kael Touch, a self-made young billionaire, found his meteoric rise tragically cut short on a school trip. But fate had other plans, whisking him and his classmates away to a realm of swords and magic – a world where power manifested as unique: ''Gifts." While friends awoke to magnificent Gifts, Alex's Gift yielded only two enigmatic guns: one gleaming silver, the other shrouded in black. Worse, he couldn't use magic like his peers, drawing scorn and derision. Yet, fueled by an unyielding spirit and a burning dream, Alex refused to falter. In this new world, he craved not wealth, but the strength to forge his own destiny. One goal burned bright: to rise once more, not to the peaks of financial power, but to the pinnacle of strength and control. This is the chronicle of Alexander Kael Touch, the boy with two guns in a world of wonders. A tale of relentless struggle, forged in the crucible of mockery and doubt. A journey to the apex, where the scorned student will become the ultimate warrior. Whispers of the "Death Guns Master" stir, echoes of a legend rising from slumber. The world may have forgotten them, but they are coming back. †††††††††††† Nickaido's here with D-Guns, do not expect the smartest MC because he was once a billionaire, is still young, he has his flaws, he will learn and grow, so will the other characters. At the beginning other characters are stronger but worry not everything will change starting from around chapter 80 onward. Also sorry in advance because some of the female characters have strong backgrounds but it's for the sake of the future story, this book is just the start, I'm still improving. Sorry in advance, English is not my first language, so they may be grammatical errors and misspelled words. Please bear with me. I'm trying to improve to provide a better story. Starting from chapter 200th, I have started using Grammarly premium to help me with the English, so I think it's become better. As for the earliest chapters, I have started to re-edit them slowly; I will do more as I get more time. Maybe hire a professional editor when I can. Once again, this is not some sophisticated story; it has many flaws, which I'm trying to learn from; however, this doesn't make the story less enjoyable. Would you please give it a try?

He never expresses his emotions and confesses after two years, only to discover that his secretary is in love with someone he actually knows. But Haruka's love for that person didn't remain for that long after his heart was shattered into pieces by the person he loves. "I like you." "You know I don't like you." "I do.

"Do you crave a new life, right here, right now? All you need is to ask your heart for what you truly desire, and watch the universe deliver it." Mira’s heart raced as the mysterious voice echoed in her ears, but when she looked around, there was no one in sight. Suddenly, a flash of light split the air, like lightning on a dark night. --------- Mira had always dreamed of catching the eye of Justin, the golden boy of the campus—the one every girl adored. But in her eyes, she was nothing more than an ugly duckling, a girl who couldn’t even compare to the beauty that Justin deserved. Her face, she thought, was a blemish on the vibrant campus, and her chances of ever winning his heart were laughable. Bullied relentlessly for her looks, Mira found solace only in the fact that she wasn't the smartest either. She was just... average. The whispers and taunts followed her everywhere. Despite it all, she maintained a good attitude—after all, what else was she supposed to do but go along with life’s cruel game? But then, something extraordinary happened. Mira discovered a power, a fate that could completely transform her life. A single wish was all it would take to change everything she thought she knew about herself. It was the moment of her life, the moment to make things perfect—wasn't it? But what would she wish for? Could it be the one thing she had longed for the most—Justin’s heart? Would her wish really come true, despite his current relationship? Could she build the beautiful life with him that she'd always dreamed of, or would fate have another twist in store? At first, it felt like her wish had worked—Mira had everything she wanted. But as with all things too good to be true, there was a cost. To fulfill her wish, she’d broken the rules of life, and now she had to face the shocking secrets of her past. Would these revelations bring her closer to Justin, or push her away in fear of the price she had to pay? What would the past reveal to her, and what would it mean for her future? Justin Maxwell. The king of the campus. Cold. Aloof. Infamously charming. Handsome, yes. But beneath the surface? A mystery. No one could deny that he was every girl’s crush, yet he was always untouchable—especially with Maddie Bluen by his side, the perfect girlfriend in every way. Together, they were the power couple, ruling over the campus with effortless grace. But Justin wasn't just a pretty face. He was the heir to the Justin clan—the legacy of one of the wealthiest, most powerful families in the country. What the world didn't know was that the Justin family harbored a secret: they were ancient vampires, existing in the human world for centuries. Now, Justin's destiny was set. To ascend the throne and lead the vampire world, he needed a mate—someone chosen by fate. But though he searched the campus for her, he’d never felt the pull of destiny... not until he saw her. Mira. The ugly duckling. The girl who could barely stand out in the crowd, but who always put on a brave face. At first, Justin only intended to protect her—from the bullies, from the pain that came with her secret being exposed. But something about Mira tugged at his heart in ways he couldn’t explain. Was it a spell? Or could it be love?

There is always the desire to be the strongest, the fastest, the smartest, and to reach the apex of everything. To some, they believe that talent determines everything. To others, hard work is more important. For many to reach the apex of any field a combination of talent, hard work, and determination is needed. In a world where powerful demons, unkillable immortals, and strange monsters ran amok. Where human lives were treated on the same level as ants. Yoze, a young man who had transmigrated from Earth to this dangerous world could only rely on his hard work, strong will, and his cheat, the Second Best System to that makeup for his lack of talent and resources. With his desire to improve his family's life and his ambition to surpass human limits, he set his eyes on passing the Scholar exam as he took his first step toward dominating the world. Whether it was humans, demons, monsters, immortals, or gods they all were within his sights and would soon become a stepping stone for his rise to excellence. "You are a genius of 1000 years. Okay, I'm a genius of 900 years. I'll surpass you in three years." "You are the most talented runner in the world. That's okay, I'm fine with being the second most talented runner but I bet I can surpass you in three months." "Having the most talent doesn't mean anything unless you use it. You are born with talent. I earned it. You are afraid of demons while I cherish seeing every demon." Yoze smiled as he looked at the nine-headed immortal under his feet. "I heard that Immortals can't die. Let's test that rumor." As Yoze advanced on his journey he slowly discovered that there was no supreme power system or logic that this strange world followed. Whether the Spiritual Energy that the demons monopolized, the Crystal Energy that could create entire worlds, or the Inner Vigor that humans held close to their hearts. Yoze was determined to become the master of them all!

[DROPPED] My name is [REDACTED]. I was just a normal, job-seeking guy who had just finished his undergraduate study and was hopeful of becoming a useful member of society. However, the job market in this current economy was quite harsh, and competition was at an all-time high. Thus... I remained unemployed for almost half a year. As usual, I was on a job hunting spree, hoping to finally find or land a job that would hire the poor me. However, fate had other plans for me... and I died, getting run over by a large truck. I thought I was dead, but... I soon woke up inside a test tube, surrounded by white-coated scientists in a dimly lit laboratory. I was confused, as I realized that my body, from head to toe, was covered with some sort of dark material that fit my skin quite tightly, as if I was wearing a skin-tight suit from a superhero comic. But... I wasn’t a superhero. “Good morning, Subject... No... Grunt No. 703.” I was just one of the supervillain's Grunts. [STATUS: DROPPED] Reason: - Trash writing in general - Pacing like a crippled snail - Overall a misaligned of what I had envisioned in my head

Goons, henchmen, foot soldiers. They don’t even register as side characters in most narratives, but what compels a person to become one? What fuels an individual to work for a supervillain or a crime lord? Maybe it’s fear, money, the desire for power, or all the above. Either way, it’s a dangerous job.

Hùng, a 17-year-old teenager with a max-level ego, proudly declares himself the most handsome being across all universes. While other protagonists are busy being useless or isekai-ing their way to find a waifu, Hùng... is stuck washing dishes in the kitchen.

From a dishwashing nobody to a fiery, over-the-top, drama-packed adventurer, Hùng embarks on a journey filled with epic battles, hilarious antics, and occasional doses of wild drama. Oh, and here’s a plot twist — this story is written by none other than Hùng himself, along with Mako, who claims to be the smartest being in the multiverse! So if things seem a little outlandish, don’t be surprised. This is a comedy, not a guide to living a serious life, folks!

Smart people are often suffocated by powerful people or people who can better market their skills. Now the smartest man alive works as a manual laborer because no one takes his ideas seriously... I think it is about time he changes that. Yet smart people are often taken advantage of dying without being able to credit their own works. Sometimes losing complete ownership of their invention because of powerful people. Yet when you are the smartest alive with the most powerful inventions why follow their rules? If they still want him to back down then, simply rule them.

Everything was going according to plan—until my life was turned upside down. I had just graduated from university and was ready to start my career, fulfilling both my goals and those of my parents. But then, disaster struck. —— Creation of the World—a game that grants its user the ability to control a limitless world, with the power to create and destroy anything without restriction. Cassian watched helplessly as Earth was consumed by the world he had built. Unable to intervene, he suddenly found himself in a body that wasn’t his own. Cassian Starhold—the older brother of the world’s greatest hero. —— I was content with my life as a puppet, a slave whose only purpose was to toil away, sacrificing everything for a few worthless scraps of metal. But my enemies couldn’t leave me in peace. They brought war to my doorstep and destroyed everything I had spent my life building. I stood among thousands of their strongest sons, as they listened to the man who had ignited the fire in my life. Towering and imposing, he spoke from atop majestic marble columns, his gray hair blending with the crowd. Thousands of people, all sharing his features, gazed up at him with eyes filled with admiration and ambition. “People are not equal!” he declared, his voice dripping with arrogance. “We are the pinnacle of evolution! There is nothing beyond us! We have risen above piles of inferior blood, leaving massacres in our wake. And now, you are about to inherit this legacy.” He paused, surveying the crowd below with cold pride. “But this power must be earned. It is not granted by birth. Wealth, power, status… these things demand mountains of victims just to catch a glimpse of them.” His arms stretched wide, madness and pride gleaming in his eyes, and the crowd mirrored him, thousands roaring with fervent pride. The sight was terrifying. “You have no idea what your ancestors sacrificed to put you here. But you will learn. And I swear to you, with my pride on the line…” “Only those worthy of us will survive!” "Soon, I will show you why we are called dragons!" What these so-called dragons don’t know… is that a puppet will rise to shatter their illusions. He’s wrong. None of them will survive. ====== Author's Note: As you can see from the tags, the MC will eventually become a villain, but not at the beginning—and not even within the first three arcs. I'll take the time to carefully build his character and develop his transformation in a way that feels natural and logical. His ultimate goal is to return to his original family, so he harbors a deep hatred for the world he’s been pulled into. This novel will explore darker themes like slavery, murder, mind control, and betrayal. However, it will not contain R-18 content, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you might want to reconsider. The MC won’t be OP from the start, nor the smartest, but he will quickly gain experience and grow.
