Survival, exploration, hunting, construction, farming, and the quest for dominance ensue. Chen Mu wakes up in the classroom, picking up a half-broken staple from the ground, gazing at this vast new world…

After months of extreme weather conditions, everything stopped. Although not for long. A huge door appeared in each of the world's capitals, which was given the name "The Abyss Call."

Before I begin a lengthy synopsis, let me stop you here. All characters in this story are purely fictional and any resemblance whether of name or description is purely coincidental. All of it is a creation of my sick imagination. ~~ Five times a day... A lot can be done five times a day... For some, a hobby... For some, work... For some, love... But for me, five times a day holds an entirely different meaning. Why? "Your son has a condition called Hyperspermia. He needs to ejaculate to relieve its conditions." That's why!!! ~~~ Hello, everyone. I'm Ero_writer_69. I had to abandon my first work due to a motorcycle injury which left me with no choice but to stop writing. But, while you lay in a bed for almost four months, a lot of new ideas come to mind. This is one of those ideas and I hope you guys like it as well. I still have trouble writing from my left hand so I might not be able to keep this novel up regularly but I will sure as hell do my best. Enough about this... Read up! .... .... Oh, and I'm not telling you what to expect. Just know that I hate NTR with my life and there won't be any of it in it. Other than that, read it to find out what's in it. As for art, I haven't really created a discord yet. I have commissioned a creator for some but I won't be able to provide them before 50-70 chapter, so don't ask. Or ask... for all I care.

Sure, you may get tired of writing it after quite a while, but even so; it was a novel you enjoyed writing before, no? The words you put consideration to, the effort you did research overnight. The thrill to have a reader, the thought of someone enjoyed your work. All of it was something you used to cherish, but you may end up forgetting the joy over small things one day as you move on. Everyone loves their work. But some forget they did.

A story of adventure and discovery. A story of bonds and fellowship. A story of mysteries and mantras. A story of a world only the brave dare to brave. The adventure of a happy young man, brave and strong. A lover of fun, one who understand the beauty of creation. A creature shrouded in enigma, as deep as the universe. The pursuit of mankind and all creatures in existence. A game of survival, a struggle for dominance. A contest of the brave.

Julius Vaelorian was never meant to be the main character. Before waking up in this world, he was just an overworked web novel author struggling to finish his own story. But after dying in an accident, he finds himself reincarnated—not as the hero, but as Julius, a minor villain doomed to die at the hands of the protagonist. He refuses to accept that fate. Julius will do whatever it takes to survive—even if it means sacrificing the very thing that makes him human.

What if you woke up one day, not as yourself, but as someone entirely unknown? What if the world around you felt eerily familiar—crafted from the very stories you once wrote? What if you were nothing more than an extra, a name never meant to be remembered, destined to fade into obscurity? Would you accept this fate? Or would you defy it, clawing your way towards something greater? –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Asher Gradivus wasn’t supposed to matter. He was barely a named character, lightly written, never really meant to exist. Yet, when a bestselling author dies under mysterious circumstances, he awakens in the body of this forgotten character—trapped inside the very novel he created. The world has long since changed. Seventy years ago, [Mana] awakened, ushering in the era of the [System]. Dungeons emerged, ancient beings stirred, and even the [Gods] turned their gaze toward Earth. Chaos loomed on the horizon, but with the latter parts of the Novel unwritten, even Asher himself remains clueless as to what the future might hold. Nothing can he do except move on and navigate his way through this New World. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Join my Discord Server: discord.gg/3dSrPwDHxt

Kair is a freshman in college studying neuroscience. Coincidentally, he is also a renowned author, one of his most famous works being the novel 'Chaos'. One day, Kair gets caught up in a fatal car accident. He regains his consciousness in a place he doesn't recognize. Strangely, it shares a lot of resemblance to his prior novel, which he doesn't pay any mind too. One thing however keeps nagging at Kair; did he really die, or is this all just a dream? Did he get reincarnated? What in god's name is going on? --- On one dimensional plane, a God opens his eyes. On another plane, a majestic beast wakens from its slumber. Every galactically powerful being in the universe opens its eyes, glancing downwards to the bottom ranks of the dimensional ladder. They did not know how, nor did they know when. All they knew, was that the Revenant Portal had moved. As if in mutual understanding, every being powerful enough to understand the twists of fate marked this point in time as one of the most crucial turning points in the history of the universe. However, only a single question remained in their incomprehensibly vast minds; why had the gate made its move after being inactive for half of the universe's existence?

Being the author of the breakout novel, Gates of The Primordials, Jarren Fletcher did not care about the constant critiques claiming he had a habit of treating extra characters as mere plot devices, creating and then dumping them once they’d served their purpose. To Jarren, it didn’t matter. Extras were just that—extras. All that mattered was the main character. But Jarren never expected to wake up in his own story, reincarnated as one of the meaningless, disposable extra characters, Deremiah Morcant—a coward who took his own life to escape the perilous challenges of the Gate Trials. Now, Jarren has to face those deadly challenges himself in the body of a weak, insignificant extra. He must find a way to survive in the rules of the dangerous world he had created, whilst also trying to save it. But time is running out. The next Wave is coming, and so are the paragons.

That you're just an insignificant being who'll never make carve your own mark in the Annals of Time. Just what will you do? Will you rise up to fight against your own destiny? To prove your worth to the whole world? Or will you simply accept your fate and lie down for the rest of your life in despair? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our protagonist was a successful Novel author, with his novel 'The Path to Transcending Mortality' selling millions of copies.

Revenge, Becoming the strongest, living a wholesome life, protecting the world? Nope, I was just curious. Curious about what the world would be like if there wasn't a single main character. I have always hated main characters who take all the spotlight for themselves and make a fool out of everyone just because they can; I wanted a world where everyone can be a main character. A world where the antagonist can kill the protagonist, a world without a protagonist. I always thought that it was an impossible task... however, fate wasn't as cruel as everyone thought it to be. Or, maybe I was just lucky... Lucky enough to get a second chance. Lucky enough to create a world where everyone can be a protagonist of their own story (Maybe not everyone, but I tried my best), a world without a protagonist. --------------- Join the discord server. https://discord.gg/BaP4c8b8Vq The timeline will be determined through the votes of the readers in the server.
