But as Vex inches closer to the final level, he realizes that the game world isn’t just affecting his life—it’s merging with reality itself. With each “boss fight” revealing the game’s darkest depths, Vex must conquer Echelon or risk losing everything, including his own existence.

If you were given a chance to forsake your current life and transmigrate to a world where magic exists and swords are chosen over guns, monsters and beasts roamed in the endless woods, and different species like dwarves and elves exist, would you take that chance?

But unlike other fictional stories where the main character is provided with everything, be it immense powers or a demon king as his side kick, he woke up in the middle of the woods with countless monsters surrounding him. He has no power let alone any kind of talents. But as trivial as it sounds, survival may not be his biggest issue.

Un final para los moribundos, un final para los reyes, un final para los soberanos, un final para la humanidad, un final para la paz. Todo se enfrenta, inevitablemente, a su fin. Solo el tiempo tiene el poder de preservar lo que ha sido y lo que será. El cambio es efímero, incapaz de resistir el paso del tiempo. Solo el final perdura. Pero, ¿qué significa realmente el final? Adrián se lo pregunta, atrapado en medio de un paisaje desolado que alguna vez fue su mundo. Todo lo que amaba y conocía ha desaparecido, convertido en ruinas. "¿Es esto el final?", se cuestiona, mientras la desesperación se convierte en furia. "No", responde, y en sus palabras vibra la fuerza de alguien que no se rinde. Alza la mirada hacia el cielo, teñido de un rojo brutal, como si la misma sangre lo hubiera invadido. Siente el odio arder en sus venas, cierra los puños y, con un grito desgarrador, desafía el destino: "¡No será este mi final! ¡Yo decidiré mi propio destino! ¡Yo forjaré mi propio fin!" Con cada palabra, Adrián renace. No permitirá que el mundo ni el tiempo decidan por él. Él será el dueño de su último suspiro, el guerrero de su propio destino.

Centuries ago, a mysterious energy called "Mana" revolutionized society, but it led humans to face an unprecedented crisis: the "Great Fall". After centuries of intensive use of mana, flora and fauna mutated, becoming more powerful and intelligent. Confronted with this threat, humanity takes refuge in the bastions, the 21 fortresses, to survive. Humans also begin to mutate, developing greater physical and intellectual abilities, as well as special powers called "systems" and "stigmata". However, a scientist warns of an even more devastating imminent threat: insects, organized and cruel, will mutate in turn. To counter this imminent threat, humans begin to study the beasts and learn to cultivate Mana like them. Mana exercises are created to accelerate this process and copy some of the characteristics, but changing exercises is difficult and risky. As the world struggles for survival, Rin, a semi-awakened with the power to perceive everything around him, finds himself at the heart of this turmoil, determined to find his place in a world in chaos and to protect those he loves from the surrounding dangers. ***************************************** Participate in WSA 2024

If you wake-up to find the city burning and crawling with strange creatures, while feeling terrified and at the brink of insanity... wearing tattered pajamas... What would you do? Keni wanted an inspiration. And all he got was waking up in a ruined alley. When he glanced above, everything resembled hell. Worse, an annoying voice kept blasting inside his head like an integrated speaker... It seemed like misfortune kept piling each chapter. And who should he blame? It's the author, of course.

In a world where the battle for humanity’s fate is decided not in distant realms, but in the lives of ordinary people, seventeen-year-old Ano is thrust into a game beyond his understanding. Struggling with school, sports, and his faith, he’s always felt the weight of expectations—yet nothing has prepared him for what comes next. When an angel appears, informing him that he has been chosen as a divine champion, Ano’s life spirals into a hidden war where angels and demons select their own warriors for the ultimate test: Ragnarok. Ten champions are chosen by God. Ten more are handpicked by Satan. Each one is guided by an angel or a demon, powerful beings with their own agendas, secret hopes, and haunting regrets. With every battle, Ano is forced to question his beliefs, especially when he finds unexpected allies on both sides and begins to see the complex, flawed nature of those he thought were purely good or evil. For every victory, he gains new strengths—celestial blessings that reflect his growth and his angel’s nature. But each blessing has a price, a weight he must carry even as he’s drawn deeper into the struggle for humanity’s soul. As the contest unfolds, the champions unlock forgotten relics and ancient powers, discovering truths about Heaven, Hell, and the fragile line between them. Dark secrets lie hidden in Ragnarok, waiting to shatter everything the champions believe. The game itself isn’t what it seems, and neither side is innocent. Ano realizes that he and his fellow champions may not just be fighting for humanity’s survival—they may be fighting for the right to choose their own fate. In a world torn between destiny and free will, Ano must face the toughest question of all: is he willing to sacrifice everything for humanity, even if it means defying the very forces that rule over Heaven and Hell?

A normal girl until life takes a complete turn for the worst. Will Devon rise at the weird turn of events as she discovers who she really is?

In the world of Tiamat, mortals are playthings for the gods—summoned to serve, survive, and entertain an unseen audience. Alain, an ordinary man from Earth, gets thrust into this world through an unexpected summoning, quickly stripped of his humanity and transformed into "Pebble," a brawny, low-intelligence character with a unique class called "The Battery." Tasked with walking a mysterious "Forest Path," Pebble quickly learns that his fate is being controlled by divine entities who act as his omniscient spectators, granting rewards, issuing tasks, and meddling with his every move. Pebble, with his new identity and peculiar skill set, teams up with an unlikely party of heroes: Phil, the eager snake-man rogue; Fred, the elderly wizard with unsteady but surprising powers; Bard, the charismatic musician; and Puffy, the foul-mouthed gnome who offers both guidance and exasperation. As Pebble struggles to navigate the rules of his new reality, he faces off against monsters, bandits, and divine "challenges" that range from inconvenient to life-threatening. Along the way, Pebble encounters gods who meddle in his life—sometimes offering aid, sometimes just making things harder. Among them are Glurt, the playful trickster; Artia, the shrewd, vengeful and alluring goddess; Aphrodite, who has her own plans for Pebble; and Reeki, the mysterious Mountain God who seems to have taken a special interest in him. As Pebble's viewership grows, he gains more power—but also more problems, as the gods begin to influence his decisions, pushing him toward a fate even he doesn’t fully understand. Haunted by his past life and the slow erosion of his Earthly hobbies and habits, Pebble tries to make sense of his role in this divine game. Aided by his comrades he must balance the absurdity of his situation with the reality of high-stakes danger. His class, "The Battery," holds mysterious potential that he's only beginning to uncover, and the path ahead is riddled with tasks that could lead him to greatness—or end his journey prematurely. Combining elements of dark humor, epic fantasy, and unpredictable divine interference, The Story of Pebble follows the adventures of a hero who never asked to be one, struggling to forge a path forward in a world where the line between game and reality is blurred—and where the gods are always watching.

Final Life Online is a 10th-generation, full-dive VRMMO game developed through the collaboration of companies from across the globe. The game was initially designed as a virtual utopia, a place where players could spend their entire lives after retirement, earn a living, and even shape a new reality. Despite its deep and serious intent, the game became an escape for most players, who gave up on its true objective and chose instead to simply enjoy living in the virtual world as if it were reality. Only a few elite guilds still aimed to beat the game, chasing the incredible rewards promised to those who succeeded. The stakes were high — any player who could defeat the game's final challenge would be rewarded with 20% ownership in the top 1,000 companies in the real world. Yet, as the years passed, no one was able to conquer it. Now, a decade later, the game has become a battleground for the top guilds, all vying for that elusive victory and its earth-shaking rewards. Suddenly, the perspective shifts to a figure standing by the window, looking out into the fading light. A soft breeze ruffles the curtains as he gazes at the massive poster of Final Life Online plastered on the building across the street, its vibrant colors a stark contrast to the dullness of his room. He mutters to himself, his voice a mere whisper against the cacophony of the city below. "And I... am Flynn Blade." The name feels foreign on his tongue, a remnant of a past life he can barely remember. And I have reincarnated in this Doomed world, But no more as I am here now. ***** Flynn, a reincarnator from another world, finds himself preparing for the launch of Final Life Online, a virtual reality game with world-changing stakes. In his previous life, Final Life Online was just a novel, but now he knows it’s far more than just a game. It's humanity's last chance to prepare for a catastrophic apocalypse set to hit Earth in ten years. To make sure the world takes it seriously, the game’s rewards are extraordinary, including shares in top companies and a “World Owner” title with unparalleled power. Flynn has an edge over other players because he knows the game’s true purpose from the start, thanks to reading from the perspective of Max, the story's main character. Max is a regressor who, like Flynn, will join the game today. Max is set to choose one of the strongest classes, but Flynn knows about an even more powerful class that Max didn’t know existed. This class once made another player the second-strongest in the world, nearly on par with Max, despite the fact that Max had multiple advantages like special equipment and cheats. Flynn plans to take this class for himself, aiming to surpass even Max in strength and gather enough power to survive the coming apocalypse. Though he has never met Max personally, Flynn's knowledge of Max’s journey gives him the insight he needs to prepare. His ultimate goal is not just to become stronger, but to protect himself and those he cares about from the impending disaster.
