"Mana to breathe, mana to eat, mana to fucking live," Inhale: -0.001 MP… oops! You're out of mana points. (Pay-to-breathe RPG.) Humanity's last walled stronghold. _____ In the world Elio lives, every gasp of air comes at a price. A floating indestructible book for every human, a magical system that turns survival into a pay-to-breathe RPG. Here, poverty isn't just being broke, it's choking. Surrounded by barren land and a sea of monsters on top of it (No water, just literal monsters), each day is a suffocating dance of survival, a balancing act between mana for air and mana for food. In this economy, holding your breath isn't just a game, it's a retirement plan. Driven by desperation (and the city's miserly rulers that don’t cut anyone a break), Elio dives into the Book System’s trials to save his family. Along the way, he unlocks powers he didn’t ask for and starts to figure out... Who he really is. Immerse yourself in an adventure where one young man's stubborn refusal to become a statistic could spark a revolution. Who knew being a pain in the system's rear could change the world? Because in Elio's world, breathing is just the beginning of the revolution and... he's gasping for change. But hey, who said saving the world had to be all doom and gloom? Join Elio as he kicks monster butt, uncovers ancient secrets, and maybe, just maybe, figures out how to grow a tree or two along the way. __________ Warning: May contain traces of world domination, an unhealthy obsession with the periodic table, damage points, progression math, and yes, even a sprinkle of that old "power of friendship" magic. Because sometimes, you need a buddy to help you remember which element does what or even help you calculate those sweet, sweet stats. A quick heads-up: Despite what the cover might suggest, this isn’t a hack-and-slash adventure. Think more along the lines of a turn-based RPG, where strategy and choices matter as much as action. Get ready for a different kind of challenge! If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's our first FL crying and crossing the transparent barrier straight into a pixelated, indistinguishable sea of monsters. Because why not mix emotions with chaos? She's crazy like that! (Not really... or is she?)

There are many hidden magical mysteries in this world that are unknown to mankind, beyond the laws of nature, and there are some magical powers that great saints who lived on this planet for centuries left behind.

Perna To Rachel & Derek, Thank you for everything! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the last heir of Ardel lost everything, fate would bring her to her rightful protector. Anna Adhemar, the forgotten princess, found herself betrayed by the Regent. Hunted by the Bargesians and the ruthless slave traders, she desperately fled for her life. Rescued by a mysterious man, her newfound safety was short-lived as she succumbed to a potent aphrodisiac. Then, she awoke in the arms of the fearsome Knight Commander of Gerhard, stripped bare, in a foreign kingdom. Fear, confusion, and a sense of profound devastation enveloped her. But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night." Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman." --- Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and became celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities. Outside his camp, he found Anna poisoned and delirious. The healer informed him of the only cure, of which he must race against time to give and honour her. For the first time, he felt an overwhelming instinct to protect and claim her as his own. Unaware of his deepening affection, he belatedly realised his feelings as he stood on the brink of losing her. Bound by a soul-binding spell, their fates intertwined…

[Synopsis] In a dark, underground basement, a spooky old man's voice sent shivers down my spine. "You're gonna meet your end, hahaha," he taunted, before lunging at me with a sword, slashing the air, and spattering my throat with red drops. "We'll see," I defiantly whispered, my last words fading as I drifted into darkness. Suddenly, I woke up in a bustling tavern filled with laughter and clinking glasses. A captivating lady stood before me, her beauty clashing with her angry expression, ready to disrupt the cheerful mood. "Don't stalk me," she snapped, giving me a harsh look before storming out of the tavern. Am I stuck in some kind of game? My common sense shattered, leaving me questioning my reality. ------------------------------------------- [A/N: Give it a read, buddy; you won't regret it.] [Discord Server Link: https://discord.com/invite/4gVfcaePJS]

"Listen, buddy, your cock was the last thing that got inside me, so unless I’m having some kind of miracle baby, yeah, you’re the father. Congrats." — Raelynn had one goal that night—drown her sorrows in cheap whiskey after getting fired from her job. What she didn’t plan on was two surprises: one, a steamy night with a ridiculously good-looking stranger, and two, a $10,000 check for her the next morning. Jackpot, right? Wrong. Nothing could’ve prepared her for the biggest surprise of all—she’s pregnant. And the father? None other than Elion Vaelorian, the country’s richest and most powerful businessman, with a face that could melt ice... and a personality just as cold. What Raelynn doesn’t know is that Elion isn’t just any man. And the baby she’s carrying? Let’s just say it’s far from ordinary, and its existence could shake the foundations of the world she knows.

Jua Gu peered at the young man struggling to climb out of a deadly pit. "Do you need my help? I'll climb down and assist you," he gestured from atop the cliff. "I don't need your help!" the young protagonist shouted, gritting his teeth. "Really?" Jua Gu blankly gazed down at him. "Really, I can do it on my own..." the next second, the young man tumbled down from the great height, falling to his death. "For God's sake!" Jua Gu howled. "This is the tenth time he has died! Why won't he accept my help?" He quickly rewound time until the young man was hanging for his life. This time as well, the young man gritted his teeth and shouted that he didn't need his help. "But I need you alive, buddy!" Jua Gu climbed down and grabbed him by the waist. "The world depends on it, and for God's sake, if you die again, I will kill myself." The young protagonist's eyes shone brightly. "You love me so much that you can't live without me?" He hugged Jua Gu's waist tightly. Jua Gu raised a brow. "No." The young man smirked mysteriously. "It's okay to love me." "No, I don't!" "Because I love you too." "You misunderstood!" Jua Gu, panting, gazed at the lunatic. "Why does every single protagonist think I love them?!" "Because you're lovable," the young protagonist grinned widely.

Astra was a gay man. A solid top, a seme, the real deal. Unfortunately, he transmigrated into a BG harem novel. The Journey was a popular web novel based on an intergalactic setting. The whole book was filled with the straight romance between one male lead and his harem of beauties. The male lead of the novel was actually over 30 years old, but after consuming a secret medicine his body regressed back to that of a teenager. The male lead was the perfect mix of shy and mature, passionate and innocent — all at the same time. No other person could unify all those conflicting traits as well as the male lead did. Needless to say, the male lead was exactly Astra’s type. If only Astra could, then he would. But the author had told Astra: There’s no way for you to un-transmigrate yourself, this is a harem novel, the world setting doesn’t even have ‘gay’ in its vocabulary and on top of that, you have to remain in character at all times. And what kind of character was this Astra from the book? Nicknamed ‘Sunny’, known for being sweet but kind of dumb, the male lead’s best buddy, a loyal little underling for the mighty male lead. And worst of all – straight as they come. And so, every time he witnessed the male lead’s domineering aura while wiping out the bad guys, Astra would pay his due respects and act along with the rest of the crowd: “You’re so awesome!” But in his head, Astra would definitely be thinking: Damn this slutty little thing, everytime he cooks he’s gotta wear that apron and tie it so tight around his tiny waist. A waist that was small enough for Astra to wrap his hands around. … For a gay man, Astra has always had pretty good luck with the ladies. In a bar: Wen (ML) watched as a woman with heavy makeup flirted with his best buddy. His face darkened as the violent storm of emotions in his heart threatened to burst forth. For a moment, Wen wondered if his controlling and possessive instincts were getting a little out of control. It took awhile for him to realize that he was actually jealous of that woman. But Astra, the one who turned him so weird in the first place, was actually an idiot who didn’t understand a thing — how could the idiot Astra know of the effect he had on Wen? ______________________________ Tags (from original author): #After making the male lead gay I’m pretending that I’m straight and that nothing happened between us# #seme’s POV# #seme likes to leave uke hanging# #possessive lover# #not a rebirth novel_male lead’s body became biologically younger# ----##---- PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS NOT MY STORY!

Kestrel was a beta, and an aggressive one that most folks didn't like much. The Empire had picked a future husband for her. This guy was pretty much perfect: born into a high-class family, good-looking, rich, nice, and the envy of everyone around. People were quick to start whispering. "Why did such a great guy end up with her? She can't even make tea right and she barely passed her cooking class." "He won't be able to put up with her for long." "Right, their love story is a train wreck waiting to happen." Hearing this stuff over and over, Kestrel started to think that she and her guy, Tarian, were doomed from the start. So, when Tarian showed up with a sweet and pretty girl, Kestrel pulled off her engagement ring and tossed it into the gutter. From that moment, Kestrel lived free and happy, like a bird soaring in the sky, a fish swimming in the wide ocean. But a few years into her easy-going life, at a royal shindig, Tarian cornered her. His eyes were all red, and he confessed that he was sorry for everything and that he couldn't stop thinking about her. But Kestrel, wild as ever, wasn't interested in going back to her old life. Tarian turned white, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care what you're like, and I can handle your shortcomings. You won't find a more understanding alpha than me." "Well, I already have a new alpha." To totally shake him off, Kestrel made up a name on the spot. She quickly thought of all the alphas she'd met on the battlefield over the years, and chose the name of a buddy she was tight with, guessing he wouldn't mind. "He's a good listener, and we're a perfect fit. Plus, he really likes me and doesn't care about my mistakes." Right after a bummed-out Tarian took off, Kestrel turned around and smacked right into the guy she'd just made up. This guy, a real war hero who'd taken down tons of enemies, turned a bit pink, looked away, and muttered, "You... when did you figure out that I have a crush on you?"

I never thought that my girlfriend, who finally agreed to go out with me after I spent two painstaking years trying to win her affection, would go have sex with my best buddy in a hotel room. They even tricked me specifically to go over there just to satisfy their perverted hobby. I couldn't help but get physical with them, but I was beaten up and thrown out of the room. Walking on the street again, I felt the sky was dark and didn't even know who else in the world I could trust. But I never thought that it was all God's plan. The lottery ticket I bought yesterday actually turned out to be a great choice, and it was a two-billion-dollar jackpot. Originally I thought that would be the prime of my life. But it didn't occur to me that the more I spent, the more money I had coming back to me. And as I got richer and richer, there were more and more beautiful women around me. In comparison, my girlfriend was nothing at all. And at this time, my girlfriend came and wanted to take me back. Looking at her humble appearance, I gave a cold laugh from the corner of my mouth without paying any attention to her. "You despised me yesterday. And guess what, now it's your turn."

Yes, when you are madly in love, your heart can speak without words. Even if you can’t meet them in person, your heart can still feel the happiness, sadness, depression, and what not? “THE LAST LOVE” is one such story of our girl realizing her love. (excerpt) “Zaike, I’m sorry!!!”. But she paused. She didn’t feel it right to apologize to him virtually right away like that. Deleting the text, she wrote again, “Hey there!! Please reply to me, Zaike… please do reply to me soon… I can’t bear this feeling anymore… I’m too full of stuff. I’ve spoken already… Please reply to me, Zaike… I want to see your eyes…feel the warmth… let us not be like this, Zaike…I can’t bear this pain anymore…” she paused. “I miss you already!!” Armelle completed texting as her eyes wandered to check once again. Armelle was a passionate girl who had never been in love before. Zaike, a childhood buddy of Armelle, falls in love with her. Nevertheless, everything has a beginning. Will she realize her love for the person before it’s too late for them? Will Zaike’s thirst for Armelle’s love will be reciprocated?
