Noodle Wale Cartoon

Lance Mercer's life is painfully normal. He works IT support in a basement office where printers scream, coworkers cry over Bluetooth, and lunch is a rotating tragedy of lukewarm noodles and existential dread. He's got a dog named Dario, a cursed coffee addiction, and a daily goal of making it to 5:01 PM without committing a felony. Then he buys milk. Now he's being hunted by unmarked helicopters, cultists in cow masks, and possibly the U.S. government. Reality keeps glitching when he sneezes, his dog might be telepathic, and there's a chance he's bonded with an ancient cosmic dairy god. He just wanted cereal.

Chen Sansi traveled back to the chaotic end of a dynasty, thankfully with the hardworking system by his side. He originally wanted to hunt to earn money and someday go to the Martial Arts Hall to learn some basic fist and foot techniques, aspiring just to be an ordinary rich man. Yet, fate had other plans. With officials imposing heavy taxes and the Martial Arts Hall bullying the citizens, he had no choice but to enlist in the army to survive, becoming an archer. From "archery (entry-level)," he worked tirelessly up to "operating a ten thousand weight bow, where arrows cannot be dodged," taking the heads of enemy generals from a hundred miles away! From "basic soldier's spear technique," he worked tirelessly up to "National Guardian Dragon Spear, growing more valiant with each battle," standing firm with a spear on horseback, alone turning back the Enemy Army of a million! Years later, Chen Sansi, having campaigned in the south and battled in the north, was truly invincible under the heavens, commanding two hundred thousand of the Iron Cavalry. Watching his subordinates forcibly ascend him to the throne and become emperor, he felt quite helpless: 'You... you have really caused me trouble!'

This is not your typical doomsday. It’s loud, dumb, dangerous—and absolutely hilarious.

Vaela never asked to be cursed by a succubus. One minute she’s broke, living on stale noodles and dreams, and the next she’s got a killer body, infinite wealth, and an ancient curse that demands one thing: seduce or suffer. Thanks, Lilith. Now bound to a curse that grows hungrier by the day, Vaela must win hearts, not just for pleasure, but for survival. But seducing isn’t as simple as batting lashes and showing a little skin (though that definitely helps). Her targets? The most powerful men—and women—on the planet. And with every conquest, her powers grow... and so does her ambition. But the game changes when she sets her sights on Virgil DuCroix, the world’s most influential billionaire. Charming, dangerous, and unfortunately under the thumb of Bilial, the literal demon of greed. Vaela soon realizes that the curse isn’t just a burden... it’s the only weapon strong enough to challenge a corrupt empire bent on devouring the world. Joined by a ragtag crew of gorgeous misfits, including a seductive demoness Lilith, a shy tech genius, a vampire business-mogul and a prince with a pretty face and a few secrets—Vaela launches Venevra, a seductive, revolutionary company aimed at rewriting the rules of power, pleasure, and profit. Corporate sabotage has never looked so good. Lingerie runways, weaponized kisses, steamy boardroom deals, magical fashion shows, and a whole lot of half-naked chaos ensue as Vaela seduces her way through the halls of power—not to destroy the world, but to save it. Sassy, sexy, and wildly addictive, this is a story of sin, sass, seduction... and saving the world in six-inch heels. ---- Like it? Show your support!!!

I was just a semi-depressed, chronically online teen with a tendency to monologue and a suspicious addiction to instant noodles… until I sneezed mid-teleport and shattered the laws of spacetime. Now? I’m enrolled in the most elite academy across dimensions, everyone thinks I’m a prodigy, and oh yeah…some ancient multiversal authority marked me as “Existential Threat Level: Cute but Dangerous.” Turns out I accidentally created something. Something I wasn’t supposed to. And now gods, memory assassins, and reality-policing librarians want my head or at least my brain. Preferably still warm. And the worst part? I don’t remember what I did. Every chapter unravels another lie. My classmates may not remember their own pasts… or mine. My best friend vanished, came back as a girl, and no one seems to notice. Our instructors keep disappearing. Shadows stalk the corridors. And there’s a talking Book that leaks cryptic poetry into my dreams. Also….I might be falling in love with too many people too fast, help. Welcome to Blackridge Academy, where magic meets glitchy memory protocols, trauma hides behind sarcasm, and the multiverse really needs therapy. Mystery. Madness. Hot girls. Broken timelines. Found family. And the longer I stay, the more I realize: I didn’t just break the system… I am the system glitch.

The crown prince of the wealthy, Qu Feitai, was also a top celebrity in showbiz. Being at the center of attention, he could summon a tempest whenever he wanted. When he participated in a variety show, a frail female guest appeared. She chopped wood with her left hand and pulled noodles with her right hand. Steaming, boiling, and cooking; everything was a piece of cake to her. As someone horrible at maintaining an orderly life, he was dumbfounded. During the live broadcast of the International Junior League finals, his cousin, who was known as a genius in Go, was extremely anxious. On the other hand, the familiar-looking beautiful girl opposite him was calm and composed, ending him in one move. His high-flyer best friend cried to him, "After your goddess transferred over, I can never surpass being in second place anymore." Qu Feitai, "How many surprises do you have that I don't know about?" Until one day, he actually saw her discussing scriptures and Buddism with a group of old monks at an international Buddhist exchange. As she started to speak of Buddhist Dharma, Qu Feitai panicked… "You keep your six senses pure and saw through the vanity of the world, but I insist on dragging you here for a walk in the mortal realm. Worse comes to worst, you'll ascend to nirvana and I'll end up in hell."
