An Ordinary Too Slow Cover

Author's message to webnovel readers: Hello everyone, I am Morning Star LL, and I am delighted to meet you all in this way! To be honest, I never imagined that my work would have such a large readership outside China. I was absolutely astonished when my editor told me there were thousands of comments. Before this, my writings were primarily aimed at Chinese readers, and it never crossed my mind that my words would one day be translated into another language. I am both humbled and grateful. I am also extremely honored that my recent work, "This Game is Too Real," has been given the opportunity to reach an international audience. Unlike my previous works, this book is probably the one into which I've invested the most time and effort. It is set in a fictional post-apocalyptic wasteland. The story mainly revolves around a once-thriving civilization that collapses overnight after a disaster. The MC from Earth uses a legacy system to disguise the entire world as a game, leading players on a quest to save civilization. It intertwines the fates of the struggling survivors in the wasteland with mutual redemption, while also uncovering the historical truths buried beneath the dust. This book contains several easter eggs with "Scholar's Advanced Technological System," but mentioning them might spoil the story, so I'll leave it to the readers to discover! Moreover, the overall tone of the book remains cheerful and light-hearted. Despite the world being harsh and full of danger, I believe that even in the darkest moments, the warmth and resilience inherent in humanity will continue to shine brightly, emitting the power to dispel the darkness. It would be my greatest honor if my words resonate with you! And the word "resonate" is also a major clue within the story itself. Thank you! by Morning Star LL —————————————— This game is too freaking realistic! Bricklaying, running errands, picking up trash, delivering parcels... At most, the company lets you experience the hardships of a 996 schedule, but here you can feel the extreme bonus of 007.

That Manager said that as long as we work our livers off, he can get a brand-new set of power armor next month, and then he'll take us to explore a brand new map, picking up even more trash in the vast Wasteland! ... After teleporting to the Waste World, Chu Guang discovered that he had unlocked the "shelter system" and could summon creatures called "players" from a parallel world.

I am an extra. That is an undeniable fact.

Transported to the world of Naruto and activating the Negative Energy System, I realized that as long as I can induce negative emotions in people, such as anger, annoyance, anxiety, fear, sadness, jealousy, and so on, I can earn rewards. Since you Konoha call me the evil Uchiha, let me show you the true evil of the Uchiha! So, Uchiha Shiroha took action. "Mikoto, you don't want Uchiha Fugaku to lose his position as clan leader!..." "Kushina, you don't want Minato to die on the battlefield!..." "Tsunade, you don't want to just watch Nawaki die like this!..." "Kaguya, you don't want to be sealed on the moon again either..."

An ordinary cultivator - that was the best way to describe Zhao Yunxiao. Be it in terms of strength or talent, he had always been in the middle of the pack, neither excelling nor falling behind. However, he did not really think badly of his current situation. Some people were destined to become the stars in the skies, while some people were born to be like the rocks on the ground. The stars might be dazzling, but the rocks supported the earth itself. Both of them were necessary in order to maintain the balance of this world. As someone ordinary, Zhao Yunxiao did his best to live his ordinary life to the fullest. He was careful and meticulous, doing his best to make sure he understands everything fully instead of jumping into doing things. He knew his limits and did not dream of anything out of reach. Instead, all he wished for was to live a life of freedom. But one day, he realised that something seemed to be amiss. Perhaps he was mistaken all along. Perhaps even the rocks on the ground had their chance to shine under the right circumstances, even if only for the slightest of moments. This is the tale of an ordinary cultivator... until he was no longer ordinary. *** This story will be written for leisure and thus not be locked, but if you are feeling generous and wish to show your appreciation in monetary terms... https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/SweatingCloud

"We Arrived Too Soon" explores the intriguing Fermi Paradox: humanity is alone in the universe because it emerged too early on the cosmic scene. It is this belief that prevails in year 196 of the Space Calendar, when human colonization on Mars is already a reality. In this futuristic world, where technological progress coexists with social challenges, science fiction and personal dramas intertwine. The story follows Mars-1549, a young Martian orphan who, upon reaching adulthood, leaves the orphanage and begins to discover the world beyond his dome. Accompanied by Moisés, a friend and former orphan, he discovers a planet full of contrasts, from the precariousness of some colonies to the peculiarity of bars that offer exotic and artificial drinks. During a visit to one of these places, the two receive news that shakes all certainties: X Company announces the discovery of an infrared radiation source that could be from a Dyson Sphere, signaling the possible existence of an advanced civilization, from type II on the Kardashev scale. With a universe rich in detail and a fascinating backdrop, "We Arrived Too Soon" mixes space exploration, social inequalities and the impact of revolutionary discoveries that could forever change humanity's place in the cosmos

Growing up poor, I had always thought I was unfortunate. My parents eventually died, and I had no choice but to give my dog up to the adoption center. I searched for food for hours, days even, and to no avail. I went to sleep one night and didn't wake up the next- I had died of starvation. Actually, I'm lying, sort of. It's true I didn't wake up, but that was in my old body. After I had died of starvation, it seems I was reincarnated into a cultivation world where power and influence meant everything. I was blessed with insane luck, as I start out right away with being the young master of the Shi family. Then I suddenly had a few high-level manuals, and one thing led to the next. But don't confuse it, even though I had luck, I still had plenty of problems, and I was more interested in becoming the most powerful figure in the world, a seemingly distant yet close dream. Oddly, as I grew older and the more powerful I became, I seemingly became even more lucky. It’s almost as if the universe itself is working overtime to spoil me… a little too much?

The title pretty much says it all. This is the journal of Jane Brown. Each journal entry may be very short or very long. Entries may be close together or far apart. It depends on when and if Jane decides to or remembers to update her journal. If ever. Just like most of the non-diary or journal writer keepers out there - or uninspired authors. Yep. Warning: VERY SLOOOW updates. This is a story written on a whim. Let's see how long the inspiration will last for. This style of writing is somewhat experimental. Disclaimer: This is a work of FICTION and is not based on any one person. Any portrayal of real people or real events (excluding some major world events) is entirely accidental and coincidental. It is in not in any way, shape of form meant to be a commentary on anyone or anything, even less on current issues in society. This is literally meant to be boring (hence the ordinary title) without being too boring. It is just about the average slow paced life and interests of an average person. (Not meant for and not interested in contracting.)

A man who has chosen a different, slower path. Most active players who haven't given up on completing the game go to higher floors soon after they get unlocked, if not immediately. However, the main character realizes that there must be a reason each world is so large and detailed. There must be a reward for exploring a world, even if it has been cleared after defeating the main boss monster. And so, he decides to stay and do what he has always loved to do in video games, explore and discover. To embark on an epic adventure. Or maybe he was simply scared in the early stages of the game. This is a deadly game after all, one in which millions are trapped.

Once the Birthplace of Gods, the Void had become the spawning ground of World Devourers, monstrous entities capable of consuming entire stars. Trapped in this forsaken dimension, Seong-jin fought for his survival against unimaginable horrors. When he slew a Primordial Devourer, he ascended to godhood, wielding power no mortal could comprehend. When Seong-jin finally escaped and returned to Earth, thirty years had passed. The world he once knew had transformed into an era ruled by gates, portals to other dimensions that unleashed monsters upon humanity. Hunters, ranked by strength, had become society's elite, while guilds vied for dominance in this new order. Despite his divine power, Seong-jin’s evaluation ranked him as an F-rank, the weakest possible tier. Ridiculed by hunters and rejected by guilds, he decided to embrace an ordinary life, working as a pizza delivery man while keeping his godhood a closely guarded secret. But living a normal life isn’t easy when you’ve fought gods and monsters for centuries. As guilds continue to dismiss him and society underestimates him, Seong-jin remains content to stay under the radar. Yet, the echoes of his past linger, and those who sense the faintest traces of his true strength begin to take notice.
