“Look at that, another one of those players just cleared another high rank dungeon, what I would do to be in his position.” The man said, walking past Vell giving him 50 credits but not taking eyes off his phone. Vell got a quick look, seeing a powerful playing basking in glory and fame. “Thank you.” He thanked the man in a low and rough voice. He continued watching the man disappear into the crowd, still hearing the whispers about players. He looked into his cup and slowly reached down to pick it up but common bullies showed up and kicked it away, scaterring his credits all over the street. He didn’t even bother getting up to pick them up, he just watched the bullies walking away laughing. “Fucking loser.” “Haha, I heard a crazy rumor about him, apparently…” discord: https://discord.gg/zxVEsgC83Y

Maximillian's hands cupped Julian's face, his thumbs tracing the soft contours of the latter's jaw. He leaned in, their breaths mingling in an exchange of pheromones. Julian felt the heat radiating from Maximillian's body, his own heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his ribs. Only a whisper of space separated their lips from each other.

"I do," he whispered, his voice thick with desire. In a single, fluid motion, he closed the distance, his lips meeting Maximillian's in a kiss that was both hesitant and hungry. ------------------ A catastrophic meteorite impact triggered the first evolution.

Luo Lin, who was born as a military doctor in the special forces, met Lin Yue, a biotechnology researcher with the special ability of "seeing life", while tracking down a series of bizarre biological mutation events.

The Earth's Evolution begins with the first phase Monster Invasion, and everyone receiving a system. The system allows them to choose classes like RPG games: Warrior, Mage, Paladin, Healer, and many more. ____ Li Wei and Li Xin were both shut-in gamers and stepsiblings. They were bored with normal life and yearned to live as if they were in RPG games. When suddenly the world started to change suddenly like they wanted. Li Wei selected special class, "Jack-of-all-Trades," because he desired to master everything. There was no problem and everything was going well, when suddenly he was forced to accept the quest to kill gods, along with the upgrade of his system. Little did he know that he was chosen mistakenly because of his bad luck. However, every time he kills a monster, he gains 10× more XP and rewards than a normal person, making him stronger. ___ It was when the second phase of Earth Evolution starts, making everyone stunned because it begins with 'World Rebuilding.' The Earth begins to absorb nearby worlds, changing the whole map, adding dungeons and spawning monsters. The Earth was changing, similar to fantasy world's described in games and novels. ____ Li Wei and Li Xin were in trouble as people discovered their extraordinary strength; because of this they escape from the city of earth and head towards unknown forest where they stumbled upon a city from another world. The city was just like a fantasy where Adventures Guild existed with all kinds of quests. *** Author's Note: The story is slow paced, MC is overpowered and there is a lot of romance. There are also a lot of auxiliary chapters where I added the mc and his party's status such as their levels and skills.
