Pattern Contest

When the gods grew bored of eternity, they create the Trials of Ascension....a deadly game where humanity’s strongest are summoned to compete for the ultimate prize;immortality and divine favor. But for Elias, a seemingly ordinary orphan boy chosen to join the trials, his journey ends before it even begins. He was killed in an accident before even entering the game, his soul should have been erased. Instead, Elias returns, resurrected by the power of the Aether Core....an ancient power that predates the gods themselves. The Aether Core doesn’t just bring him back...it makes him a wildcard, unbound by the rules of the divine. Now armed with forbidden powers, Elias must navigate a world of ruthless contestants, monstrous foes, and jealous gods who see him as a threat to their order. As he rises through the brutal ranks, Elias begins to uncover the truth about the Trials. The gods want him erased. The other contestants want him dead. But as Elias masters the Aether Core’s abilities.....absorbing powers from fallen foes and challenging the divine itself....he realizes the Trials aren’t just a game to survive. They’re a war to win. And Elias may be the only one capable of shattering the chains binding both mortals and immortals alike. But every victory comes at a cost, and the Aether Core whispers of a darker purpose. With every power Elias claims, he inches closer to losing himself. As rivalries turn into alliances, betrayals, and outright war, Elias must decide: Will he become humanity’s savior? Or the force that dooms them all? [Ding!] [Initializing....] [Welcome player 223] [You have been chosen!] [Welcome to the game of the gods!] ...................

"You are mine, Estrellita. You have always been mine," he whispered to the night. "And I tend to take care of what belongs to me. Especially when it comes to you." In the next instant, his lips met mine, drawing away the chill and replacing it with his warmth. The sensation of his skin against mine was like a fire, and my pussy throbbed, ignited with desire. I was stirred by the Devil's touch. I was twistedly aroused by the Devil. *** Silent Rivers. Silent Tears. Roaring Courage.

Despite the alluring warmth of Lorenzo, Ana remains haunted by the chilling presence of the Devil, her relentless and fearsome stalker. Who is the "Devil"? A psycho killer with a mind of intelligence or a victim seeking revenge? If so, then who's next? As Anastasia finally confronts the darkness lurking in her community, another web of truth thrives.

"Sword Cultivators may die standing, but they shall never live on their knees!" Xie Xuanyi fell into the Northern Sea, yet, under the nourishment of the "Undying Spring," he unexpectedly welcomed a second life. Chronic ailments had faded, and new flames reignited. A single ember can set the fields ablaze. Enchantresses, Sword Immortals, Buddhist disciples... A multitude of demons danced chaotically as a great tide approached, heralding another golden age! In his previous life, his body was frail; in this life, he would refine his body with golden vital energy, achieving indestructible, crystal-clear Vajra bones! If the three hundred flying swords of the past were all broken, then he would forge an entire Sword Qi Cave Heaven! "Talismans, formation patterns, Daoist techniques—I only know so much—" Xie Xuanyi sat alone within a great array, with his former long sword placed across his knees. "Who says the path realized by Sword Cultivators can only be the Sword Dao?"

Ten thousand years later, ice has melted. The Soul Federation Scientific Exploration team found an egg with a gold and silver pattern on it in the far north of the land, and after examining it with an apparatus, they found out that there were vital signs inside.

After 'The incident' Marie's brother, August, was left in a precarious state. Due to being within the radius of the explosion and not dying, he's been hit with a 'curse' that has already turned his flesh to stone and is slowly making its way through the body. A quest system appeared to Marie one night saying that there is a chance that one of the quest rewards might have something that could cure her brother. From the very start the system seemed quite nice and lively, but the longer she has it and the closer to her goal she gets, the more she realises that no matter how lively, a system is still a robotic entity, right? (no cover right now, in progress) Haven't written a novel before, new experience, apologies for gramatical errors and possible inconsistencies in writing style, I haven't written anything in a hot second and I only found out about this contest with 3 days left so no plotting time :')

[Webnovel Rising Star ll Contest] What would you do if you were the younger brother of the number one genius under the heavens? What will you do if you know whatever you do, it will barely be a breeze before the raging flood of your brother's actions? Will you envy him, will you hate him, or will you support him and become a side character of an ever changing dangerous world? This was the situation Eugene found himself at, a boy filled with envy and jealousy toward his brother but also can't help to love him with all his heart. Unfortunately, the world never gave them time to process their complex emotions as things change everyday that seek to not just kill them but destroy their very homeland. This is a world that is barely functioning by the illusion of hope! The more ignorant you are, the more free you are and power comes with responsibility. Knowledge comes with the dangerous realization that the future is bleak and despair is around the corner. Eugene found himself born in a world that ‘Awakened’ as they called it, humans devolved from Apex Predators centuries ago and are barely cattle for the ever evolving beasts and monsters. Two things saved the humans from extinction, and it wasn't their knowledge or weaponry; they are all useless against intelligent beasts that can do better. What saved them was some benevolent beasts that took them as servants, slaves and some as cattle for rearing. The second thing that saved them was the appearance of Gateway that led to various realms in unknown dimensions which aided them to make a pact with willing beasts. They finally gained strength and power and huddled around Gateways and built. Eugene found himself in a race against time as he dived into an unknown dimension, filled with mystery and danger that might have the answers everyone desire.

In the confines of a tiny 0.75-gallon terrarium, a fragile and vibrant ecosystem unfolds. Beneath the cover of bark and the shade of a fading clover plant, Mossback, a newly hatched isopod, embarks on a life of survival, exploration, and quiet resilience. From his first tentative steps in the moss patch to his encounters with dominant rivals, fleeting alliances, and the ever-busy springtails, Mossback navigates a world where every droplet of water and every shred of decaying plant matter is a lifeline. Over time, he learns that life within the terrarium is as beautiful as it is unforgiving—a delicate balance of growth and decay, survival and loss. As the terrarium changes, Mossback grows older, witnessing the slow decline of the ecosystem’s most powerful inhabitants and the rise of new life from the remnants of the old. Through his journey, the story reflects on the fleeting nature of existence and the cyclical patterns of life, reminding us that even in the smallest, most overlooked corners of the world, the same struggles and triumphs echo. "A Fragile World" is a poignant and scientifically grounded narrative that captures the beauty and impermanence of life, exploring themes of survival, mortality, and the interconnectedness of all living things. It is a story that will leave readers marveling at the complexity of even the tiniest ecosystems and pondering their own place in the grander scheme of life.
