After experiencing eighty years of a satisfying and fulfilling existence he gets hit by a truck and transmigrates to another world.

"How did a perfectly fine magic world invested by ghosts?" Aya looked at the ghosts in front of her silently and raised her hand to cast a spell. She came to the past and wanted to change the tragedy written in the history books. But how did these ghosts come with her too? Ah, will she cause early destruction of the world? Uh... ... "Teacher, if I tell you that I didn't mean it, would you stop being angry?" Aya trembled when she looked at the man in front of her. She didn't meant to offend him! "Oh?" Her teacher looks back and smiled faintly. Did she think she could escape after provoking him? "Ah, ah, ah...." Aya swore that she didn't mean to provoke her young teacher. But it seemed that it was inevitable? QAQ

They start to experience the thrill of forbidden love, a romance that could jeopardize their entire plan.

Will they continue to prioritize their original goals, or will they succumb to the allure of a love that could change their lives forever? Against the backdrop of luxury and deceit, Ava and Ethan must navigate a complex web of power struggles, family dynamics, and hidden agendas. Will they emerge victorious, or will their marriage become a casualty of their families' endless quest for power? And will their love survive the secrets and lies that surround them? Excerpt: Ethan's eyes gleamed with amusement as he whispered in Ava's ear, "You know, wife, you're adorable when you're trying to be stern." He was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed, his gaze fixed on her with an intensity that made her heart race. Ava's eyes flashed with irritation, her cheeks flushing. "Ethan, stop teasing me. We need to focus on our plan." She tried to sound firm, but her voice trembled slightly, betraying her frustration. Ethan's grin only grew wider. "Oh, come on, Ava. You know I'm just trying to lighten the mood. You're so serious all the time." He pushed off the wall, his movements fluid and graceful, and took a step closer to her. Ava's hands clenched into fists, her voice firm. "This isn't a game, Ethan. Our lives are at stake. We can't afford to make mistakes." She tried to sound convincing, but her eyes kept drifting to his, and she couldn't help but notice the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled. Ethan's expression turned innocent, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Who says I'm not taking it seriously? Maybe I'm just trying to distract you from the tension between us." He raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on hers, and Ava felt her heart skip a beat. "There's no tension, Ethan. We're just allies in this marriage pact," she lied, trying to sound convincing. But her voice was barely above a whisper, and Ethan's knowing gaze made her feel like he could see right through her. Ethan's chuckle was low and husky. "Keep telling yourself that, Ava. But I see the way you look at me sometimes... like you're trying to resist a temptation." He took another step closer, his eyes locked onto hers, and Ava felt her pulse race. "I don't know what you're talking about," she lied again, trying to sound convincing. But her eyes darted away, betraying her. Ethan's whisper was soft, his breath caressing her ear. "Oh, but I think you do, Ava. And soon, you'll have to admit it." His words sent shivers down her spine, and Ava knew she was in danger of falling for her husband's charms, even though she refused to admit it. The air was charged with tension, their banter a delicate dance of denial and attraction. And in that moment, Ava knew she was walking a thin line between resistance and surrender.

This is a story about a boy who fell in love with a tree… A story about powerful people changing the rulebook to stack the odds and line their pockets… I aim to create a story that will transport us so we get a glimpse of what that boy felt. The first 4 Chapters might be classified as a prologue depending on how you look at it. The boy quickly grows and the story really starts when the System arrives on Earth. I’m trying to achieve a relatively slow power progression and guide what we learn at a pace following the people in the story. There will be fighting but It’s more focused on base building. The MC is not all-powerful and all-knowing but he has some significant advantages. I’m trying to create a universe that makes sense in its own context. Much of what you will find, are my own world views, in a magnified way, as to make it for interesting fiction. The story took a life of its own when I started to write and I’m really happy with it. Not all of the tags I have marked will immediately be applied. There is stuff planned for far in the future such as the Sci-fi tag. There might be some cursing and gore but it is not very often.

Due to various circumstances, he'll now find a way to defeat the monster king, the one responsible for the "Terrestrialization Virus".

"Call me Limit Breaker, aka Mr. Testosterone. That kid Mike Ragnick had it rough, but I'm not like that. You bet I always stand on business. Now, I’m the captain of this boat, and no one’s sailing the ship but me. And you know I’ve got the gains to back it up, always grinding out on that extra set. Cultivators? Lame. Martial artists? Not impressed. Awakened? Nah, I win. Gods, demons, and celestials? A joke—I step on them with one foot. No concept of 'diff'. This isn’t arrogance or overconfidence. I’m simply better. I’d bet a fortune you’ve never seen a physique like this—one that transcends the universe. No steroids, no implants. 100% natural."

Elsa found herself in a dark corner she couldn't see or touch anything all she could do was sit and hug herself,cause right now all she needed was herself,she thought about how life has become so disastrous to the extend she doesn't even dare to dream anymore or aspire for a future."How did things come to this", she asked herself as she cried. The worst mistake she has ever made was falling in love with that man.The pain she felt this past few month came back refreshingly to her memories like a Tsunami and it was overwhelming for her as she passed out.

There was once a being revered as a god in a universe with a trillion stars. How many of these stars could sustain life was unknown, but this universe no longer exists. When that universe disappeared, another took its place. It sprouted many new stars, and after a long time, life also followed. Many stars that established civilization still feel the echoes from the old universe. There was a legend that if an individual whispered a particular god's name and wished dearly, offering the most precious thing they had in return, it would grant them one wish. These wishes could be as simple as having food and shelter for a day or as outlandish as making someone fall in love with them or disappear from existence. This legend can be traced back to when sentient life forms developed ways of passing down verbal and non-verbal knowledge. The story comes in different versions, but the main message remains: one wish, one sacrifice, by one life. Strangely enough, this particular god received a series of peculiar wishes from different individuals across various stars in the new universe. Nameless god: “What is your wish?” Lucy: “To be reborn in a fantasy world with you as my father who loves me dearly until the end of my natural life.” Nameless god: ┬─┬ノ(ಠ_ಠノ) Mike: “To relive my life with you as my lovely little sister.” Nameless god: (╯°□°)╯( ┻━┻) Gabby: “Mom.” Nameless god: ┻━┻ ︵ ¯_(ᴼل͜ᴼ)_/¯ ︵ ┻━┻ Nameless god: “Who is whispering my name to these people across the universe, spreading it like a common cabbage on the roadside!? Come out, and I promise I will not do anything ungodly. Let's talk about life, hmmm!!!” Unbeknownst to this god, there was more to his myth than he knew. +++++ Schedule: 1-2 chapters per week on Saturdays UTC-4 or GMT-4 at 2000 hrs|| GMT+8 at 0800 hrs +++++ Please do leave a paragraph or chapter comment in any form before you go.

Literature can bring joy and freedom; it doesn't need to be bound by so many constraints. Words alone can create a sensory world. Therefore, we need not diminish the joy of words with lofty responsibilities; doing so would only cause us to lose our happiness and freeze our thoughts. The purpose of this novel is clear: we need the thrill, as only those who are physically and mentally healthy can handle it. This novel features a collection of intriguing and frightening stories. These stories are collectively referred to as "ghost" stories. However, the "ghost" here has nothing to do with superstition; it represents an attitude—an attitude of entertaining literature and personal relaxation, using ghosts merely as a metaphor for people. So, enjoy these words filled with freedom, passion, and a carefree spirit.
