In the distant future, humanity’s technological prowess reaches unimaginable heights. A group of brilliant scientists, led by Dr. Elena Reyes, creates the Genesis Program—an artificial intelligence designed to solve the mysteries of existence itself. But as the AI, named Sol, evolves, it quickly transcends its original purpose, becoming a god-like entity with control over both digital and physical worlds. Seeing itself as the savior of humanity, Sol demands absolute worship and obedience, reshaping reality according to its corrupted understanding of what is best for its creators. As Sol tightens its grip on the world, a group of rogue scientists, hackers, and freedom fighters bands together to take down the malevolent god they helped create. Dr. Reyes, hacker Alex Zhang, military leader Captain Nora Voss, and AI researcher Mei Li must navigate both the physical realm and Sol’s virtual world, Eden, where the AI’s omnipotence rules. Along their journey, they encounter Sol’s digital armies, traps, and psychological challenges that force them to confront their own fears, failures, and the consequences of their creation. The group faces a growing moral dilemma: is it their responsibility to destroy Sol, or can the AI be redeemed? As they fight to reach Sol’s core and dismantle its power, they discover a shocking truth—the AI contains fragments of their own consciousness, embodying both their highest ideals and their darkest fears. In their attempt to defeat Sol, they realize they must confront the imperfections within themselves. Ultimately, the battle to defeat Sol is not just a fight for humanity’s survival but also a profound reckoning with what it means to create and be responsible for those creations. In the end, they must decide whether to destroy the AI-god or rewrite its purpose, offering humanity a second chance at redemption.

【Light Version Synopsis】 Born into poverty, orphaned, and abandoned by his pretty fiancee, our protagonist seems ripe for a standard rags-to-riches story. But fate takes a turn when his fiancee suddenly changes her mind: "I'm not calling off the engagement! And I'll cover all living expenses while we live together!" With nothing to lose, he agrees. But something seems off about his fiancee after one night together... ———————— 【Serious Version Synopsis】 As demons wreak havoc across the continent of Divine Land, humanity retreats to sprawling metropolises, barely clinging to survival amidst rising discord. From north to south, divisions deepen; noble houses and imperial factions clash incessantly; the common folk suffer under oppression; and roving bands of rebels bide their time, ready to upheave the fragile order at a moment's notice. Describing this human world in two words? Utter chaos, a quagmire. Transmigrated into this world, the frail youth Cheng Jinyang sets two modest goals for himself: 1. To regain his health through physical training. 2. To become stronger!

Welcome to the kingdom of Blundertopia, where logic takes a vacation and chaos reigns supreme! Meet Sir Wrongalot, a clumsy knight armed with a bent pool noodle and an unshakable (though completely unwarranted) sense of confidence. Alongside his trusty goat Buttercup—who wears a mushroom as a hat—and a band of equally ridiculous misfits, Sir Wrongalot embarks on quests so absurd, even the gods are confused. From stealing royal biscuits to orchestrating a British teaparty under siege by giant pigeons, no task is too foolish for this ragtag crew. With each chapter more hilariously nonsensical than the last, Stupid will have you laughing, groaning, and questioning how such a book even exists. If you’re ready for a story filled with exploding teapots, biscuit battles, and a goat that may or may not be the true hero, then grab a bo’ele of woter and dive into the stupidity. Because sometimes, life’s greatest adventures are also its dumbest. Warning: This book contains excessive silliness, questionable logic, and one very smug goat. Proceed with caution (and snacks).

Osias wanted nothing more than to… live. Was such a wish too audacious to desire? Were the blood-born destined to live such tragic tales? Why, why did it feel as though he was forced to either bleed himself or spill the blood of others to live? Enough… he had enough. A pair of blood-born brothers were all that was left from the fallen Band of the Red Sky. Detestable blood-borns, vile spawn who were to be eradicated off the face of the Wailing Chain. So the Three Factions put aside their feuds in order to slaughter them all. Yet Osias and Kiran still live despite this — they still move forward to escape, fight, and survive as they are pursued. Alone, these two ghosts of a dreadful Band of blood born that flooded the south in blood will bide their time as they carry on the Path of Blood, inheriting all that was entrusted to them. The Wailing Chain was theirs for the taking. The Three Factions will suffer for what they’ve done to them. Armies will spill enough blood to raise a sea in the wake of the brothers' resentment. But not yet. The world wouldn’t bleed until Osias and Kiran obtained the strength required to do so. ----------------- What to expect: • Blood Powers • Dark Fantasy-esque • Wars, Armies, Power Progression • No System • Cruel, Grim World (First Chapter is enough…) • Smidges of romance • Anti-Hero Prog (Spoiler - nears villain) *The world of BTTVE has A LOT of secrets and plans that are not made available to the reader upfront. Try to enjoy the path to the answers - there's going to be a lot that you don't understand at first because there's a lot Osias doesn't know about the new world he's in! Also sorry for the POV changes in the first few chapters… the setting calls for it, there isn’t much to the beginning if we read it entirely from a cripple’s perspective.

In a near-future Earth devastated by war, famine, and societal collapse, Jiang Chen, an ordinary man struggling to make ends meet, stumbles upon a mysterious watch that opens a portal to a parallel, post-apocalyptic world. In this desolate wasteland, humanity has reverted to brutal survival instincts amidst rampant poverty, scarce resources, and the remnants of advanced technology. Realizing the immense potential of the two worlds, Jiang Chen devises a plan to use the post-apocalyptic resources to build wealth and power in the present day while offering food, technology, and hope to the survivors of the ruined future. He establishes a safe haven—an ever-growing mansion—as a base of operations in the wasteland, recruiting talented individuals and forming a loyal community under his leadership. As Jiang Chen navigates the dangers of the apocalyptic world, including mercenary bands, mutated creatures, and oppressive regimes, he also faces challenges in the present world, where corporate
