Competition And Performance

One-line summary: The female lead has a beautiful appearance and seemingly warm personality, but is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her. This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read: 1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly. It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them. (This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!) 2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2. The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him. 3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality. Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced). Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time. Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts. 4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend). 5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!

The Great Human Civilization has crumbled apart, falling into the Abyss. A hell with no escape. To survive there, some rules must be followed blindly. 1: Be wary of the dead for they don't rest even in death. 2: Always be on the lookout. Danger lurks everywhere in the Abyss. Nowhere is truly safe. Lastly, if you hear something unusual like a voice that shouldn't be there, do not investigate. Just run. At least then you might get to keep your life. *** Kev's adult life was suddenly upended when he was pulled into a nightmarish world along with countless other humans. To survive he had no choice but to perform a ritual he chanced upon through a series of inexplicable events. The ritual promised great power. He gave in to the temptation, performed the ritual, and stepped into the realm of mysticism. At the same time, he made the worst mistake of his life and put his sanity at risk. Power gained through rituals came with severe drawbacks that could turn a happy go lucky fool into a bloodthirsty monster in a split second and a saint into a devil! By the time he realized it, it was already too late to turn back. {You have performed a Great Ritual} {A pact has been sealed in the depths of the unseen world} Class Obtained: Corpse Collector in the Dark Trait Unlocked: Esoteric Mutation of the Soul Skill Gained: Shadow Manipulation Assimilation Rate: 0% — Collect corpses to grow stronger. — Each increase in Assimilation Rate unlocks new skills. But beware— In the Abyss, nothing comes for free. Power especially comes at a terrible price. Pay it obediently, like a law-abiding Abyss Dweller… Or watch yourself be consumed by the evil that brews within.

When teen Beniamin wakes up trapped in Magic & Stuff—a clichéd, poorly written manhwa he once mocked—he’s forced to rewrite its garbage plot. The original protagonist, Kael, is destined to become a tyrannical overlord, and Beni is forced to stop him, enjoying the process. But enrolling in the elite academy that shapes Kael’s rise costs a fortune, and Beni’s stats are laughably weak. Armed with a glitchy system that threatens death for failure, he hustles through a world of monster hunts and noble snobbery, exploiting every plot hole and loophole to survive. *Can a broke, underpowered nobody outsmart a broken story—or will he become its next casualty?*

In the ruthless world of Jianghu, where power is measured by the strength of one’s blade, Ye Xian—a master of poisons and a top assassin for the Hidden Order—receives her latest mission: eliminate Shen Liwei, the righteous yet formidable leader of the Azure Wind Sect. Her plan is flawless. Her poison is undetectable. Her strike is lethal. Yet, when the toxin fails to take effect, Ye Xian is forced to confront a chilling truth—Shen Liwei is immune to all poisons but one: the very first poison she ever created. To finish her mission, she must infiltrate his sect, uncover his secret, and strike when he least expects it. But as she gets closer, she discovers that Shen Liwei is not just a target—he is a man entangled in the same deadly web as she is. Behind his righteous reputation lie imperial experiments, hidden betrayals, and a conspiracy that reaches far beyond any one sect. As assassins close in, enemies shift, and the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, Ye Xian faces the one truth she cannot poison her way out of—the mission was never as simple as killing Shen Liwei. A calculated assassin vs. an unbreakable warrior—a deadly game of deception and skill. Martial duels, hidden blades, and power struggles—where alliances are as fragile as life itself. A world ruled by strength, ambition, and shadows—where survival is the only law. In Jianghu, trust is a weakness, love is a liability, and the only certainty is that someone must die.

I've never wanted this life for myself—this life filled with perils and evil. It's like a dream I can never escape from—a dream which I'm forever stuck in. Heh, no one ever wanted this life or ever wished for it. You'd be either insane or extremely evil to wish for this kind of life—the life where you don't have a choice over anything—the life where you're bound by your deepest desires. I never wanted to enter into the supernatural world. I never wanted to come across the Crimsones[1], Lycanthropes[2], demons and the rest. I never wanted to be involved in anything pertaining to the dark and supernatural world. I had always yearned for freedom and not servitude. But of course I was wrong all along. I had been delusional, thinking I'd be able to escape it all—to escape from fate. I never knew I would be pulled into this mess, becoming one of those dark creatures which roam about in the ungodly night. I never wanted to be a merciless predator who was also a prey to another predator (what a food chain!). But all is good. No matter what I shall not alli myself to degenerate into a heartless monster who only knew how to tear flesh, spill blood and break bones. I cannot allow my desires to pull me down. I cannot be corrupted by the abyss! My name is Daniel Stark and what I'm about to tell you is a real life horror. I don't know what you call horror or romance or fantasy but this story I'm about to tell you, you need to listen attentively and not miss a bit of information. This is my story—one beginning with pain.

Driven by the ghost of their pasts, they found themselves pointing the gun toward each other. Will they choose the path of revenge draped in cold blood?
