This is the story of a young boy who steps into the world of immortals. If you love Fantasy and cultivation novels, then you can give it a shot. It will be slow paced in start, but I will try my best to not make it too slow, that it might become unbearable to read. The main character (MC) will be a lone individual, avoiding excessive social interactions, including friendships. This is my first novel, so please forgive any errors. I will do my best to make it as error-free as possible. Do remind me in the comments for any errors. --- **Cover Page is not owned by me** ---

When talking about World War 3, most people usually imagine a nuclear apocalypse or nuclear war. A war that will completely exterminate human civilization, leaving only radiation and the ruins of destroyed cities on Earth. What if, however, in a parallel universe in which the Soviet Union survives after 1991, nuclear weapons don't exist, and World War 3 is a war with the most advanced weapons from both NATO and the Soviet Union? A place where M1A1 Abrams and T-14 Armata collide and tremble the ground, where F-35 and Su-57 terrorize the skies. How would a war like this look like? And what if, even military weapons that were thought to come out of science fiction, such as laser guns, jetpacks, and lightsabers are used in The Third Human Global Conflict? Although everything would appear to be incredibly epic, it all began with a simple terrorist attack on New York City, which would slowly drive humans toward total annihilation. ---------------NOTE--------------- In this novel, I will call NATO as The Alliances, because the Alliances is a league where all anti-communist nations come together rather than just "North Atlantic nations". Also, everything in the Novel is entirely fictional, meaning that the whole world history in this novel is all made up and based on the real world, so don't accuse me of historical inaccuracies.

Sienna, a 40-year-old assistant manager at an IT company, feels trapped in a monotonous life, for the luxurious lifestyle she craves. Without wealthy parents or a mysterious inheritance from her grandfather, she has had to work tirelessly to fulfill her dreams of wine in the weekend, fishing on the yatch on summer, skiing by winter, and touring a vineyard in fall. Her relentless focus on her career has come at the expense of her relationships, with most of her past girlfriends either cheating on her or leaving due to her constant neglect. Sienna's go-to response when relationships end is, "What else do they need?" - she simply doesn't understand why her past partners couldn't be satisfied with her providing for their material needs. Seeking an escape, Sienna immerses herself in a video game called 'Vintage Point', where the protagonist, male/female, inherits their grandfather's vineyard and creamery. Through the use of cheating codes she got from the game community, Sienna amasses unlimited wealth and the ability to have multiple wives in the game - living out her dream life virtually. "Oh lord, rich, vineyard, and wives. My dream life." One night, after a few too many glasses of wine, Sienna passes out in front of her computer. When she wakes up, Sienna finds herself in a large, medieval-style house, surrounded by four distressed women who seem to blame her for their current life. Disoriented and unsure of what is happening, "What is happening?" This unexpected turn of events propels Sienna into a surreal situation, where the line between her virtual dream life and reality becomes blurred.

Love is inherently a complex emotion, so much so that even the gods grow weary of its endless cycle. To put an end to this chaos, Cupid decided to create a solution: connecting lovers with a red thread of fate. Those bound by this thread would clearly see the connection between them, as a confirmation that they were meant to be together. Every trait, personality, and destiny would align perfectly, as if the universe had already planned it. However, in a strange twist, the thread decided to bind Cassius to his cold and powerful mother, a duchess renowned for her icy heart. This connection not only confused Cassius but also placed him in a dilemma, forcing him to face complex emotions and family secrets he had never suspected. Then, on a fateful day, Cassius saw the red thread appear once again. This time, it did not connect him to his mother but to a girl that he’d never met. Why had the thread appeared between them? And could this connection be a test of fate, or merely a cruel joke by the gods? ------- [No NTR][No Yuri]

VA: DIAMOND TO RAIN follows Satou Senji, a young student who roams the streets of Japan at night, exploring abandoned places and encountering other individuals who, like him, feel like outcasts in society. Set in 2009, the story dives deep into the lives of misfits—people who are disconnected from mainstream society, each with their own struggles and reasons for feeling like they don’t belong. Satou’s solitary hobby of wandering at night brings him into contact with a diverse group of people, each with their own backstory. Along the way, he meets several girls who, like him, have chosen to stay away from society or are living in isolation due to trauma, societal rejection, or personal choices.

One of the key figures in Satou's journey is Kanako Ryoyo, a 19-year-old girl who is a victim of human trafficking. She’s tough, cold, and emotionally guarded, but after escaping her captors, she ends up hiding in an abandoned asylum, where Satou first finds her. Their connection grows as Satou helps her find refuge at his home. Kanako is a complex character—nonchalant and blunt on the outside, yet deeply affectionate in her own way. Her trauma, mixed with Satou’s kindness, leads to a slow but steady emotional connection. As the story unfolds, Satou and the people he meets face personal challenges, emotional dilemmas, and moments of redemption. The narrative explores themes of broken families, societal rejection, the psychological toll of isolation, and the complexities of human emotions. The presence of illegal activities like human trafficking and underground bars also adds a dark layer to the story, setting a gritty tone for the series of encounters Satou has with those seeking meaning outside of society's rigid expectations. With a strong focus on psychology, adventure, and romance, VA: DIAMOND TO RAIN is a deeply emotional journey of outcasts, exploring how they navigate the world while searching for a place where they belong.
