As the brother vanished, Leo crept out from under the table, his legs trembling like leaves. He approached his father, whose eyes pleaded for silence. "Dad, what happened? Should I call for help? You're bleeding...you look so sick." His father's voice was barely audible, but the urgency was clear. "Leo, listen carefully. The safe...it's yours now. Only your fingerprint can open it. Never let anyone near it. The truth you seek, it's all inside. When your grandfather comes, go with him, take the safe, and leave with him. Protect it with your life."

A revenge story of a bullied boy who transmigrated to become an OP girl from a mafia family. The boy returns to his old class and faces his ex-bullies as 'Jenn', a perfect girl that everyone loves. “All I wanted was to finally live a normal life. Rather than brooding over what happened before, I did my best to move forward without looking back. The very person that drove me to jump off that bridge on that day sat right behind me in class and I had to see him again every single day, but I still did what I could to stay positive. I didn’t want to have anything to do with these guys ever again. My body was still lying in the hospital bed in a coma with one leg missing. All because of these motherfuckers. But I still managed to have a laugh or two a day, actually more than that as each day passed by. I made more friends than I’ve ever had. I was trying out new things that I could never do before. The past was horrible but the present and the future looked bright. I could not forget or forgive what happened before, but I did not let myself be swallowed up by past suffering. But on this day, everything became clear. Every single one of them deserved to die.”

When a mountain comes to life, awakening its consciousness, it takes on another form—a Mountain Spirit. And that’s me reborn with extraordinary Divine powers. Want to know what these divine powers are? Well, one of them allows me to accelerate herb growth—up to one hundred times faster! Impressive, right? But wait, there’s more! I also possess a ‘golden finger’—which is ‘Space-Time’ system that lets me fish for lost techniques, weapons, pill formulas, and other treasures from the rivers of time and space. With these at my disposal, I’m sure to become stronger, at least stronger than the beautiful sect master who claims my mountain as her personal retreat and constantly drag me into her matters. It’s not an easy life, but no need to worry! I’m not just any spirit—I’m a human spirit born from a mountain, which means I have an extraordinary talent for cultivation. To top it off, my system was generous enough to grant me a divine cultivation technique right from the start. There’s just one tiny problem: it’s a dual cultivation technique, and I need a partner to cultivate it. So, I had no choice but to convince the sect master’s stunning disciple to help me out. I mean, it’s not like I’m after her gorgeous long legs, her curvaceous thighs, or her… well, you get the point. I’m just a humble cultivator trying to grow stronger by any means necessary. If only she’d run into some trouble, so I could swoop in and save the day. That would make things a lot easier for me… but alas, life is never that simple. Still, I’ll find a way. With my Space-Time system, my mountain’s power, and a little charm, I’ll outgrow this mountain and surpass everyone—even the sect master. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll enjoy the beauties along the way. *** No NTR, No Yuri, No Yaoi *** LinkTree- https://linktr.ee/Around_The_Moon Discord- https://discord.gg/zTgR9VFduX

Longing. It was a feeling he knew all too well. He longed for many things, knowing full well he might not be able to attain any of them.

My mother humiliated in front of me and for my little twins brother they became a meat for their dogs. As I saw all my family members head being cut and made a wall from them I saw them with smile on their face broken every micro of my own humanity and turn to nothing.

A smile. It's an expression that I think is the most beautiful thing one could witness. A genuine smile is filled with so much beauty behind it, which is why I think it's so beautiful. But I lost my smile, long ago, because of my past. But I wasn't alone, there was someone like me, and it's Veronica. I don't know how, or when, but she also lost her smile because of a past experience that took away her smile for good. Getting closer to her, I realized that she returned my smile... my smile that I had lost for so long. She lifted the walls that surrounded me, just by being herself. And now, I want to do the same for her, I want to bring back her smile, I want to break through the wall that separates me from her, I want her to open up to, I want her to see me as her friend like how I see her as a friend, and most of all, I really, really, really... want to see her smile. No matter how long it takes me, I'll wait, just to bring back her smile, like how she brought back mine.

After two years, he finally found her and snatched the child from her hands, "If you want to be with the child, sign this marriage agreement." She scoffed, "Is threatening me all you know how to do?" The man was somewhat crazed, "Yes, aside from this, I don't know how else to keep you!" Two years ago, because she resembled the woman he loved most, he used every means to get close to her. She responded indifferently, but he became even more obsessed and relentless. However, he never anticipated the day she would run away, and he swore, no matter where in the world, he would find her.

Charles was a bright medical student, but his classmates often teased him about his premature balding. "Bald at 20, just like that Charles from X-MEN," they'd jeer. He endured their taunts, focusing on his dream of becoming a doctor. This aspiration stemmed from the tragic loss of his parents; he was determined to make a difference and save lives. But one day, during a lecture, a gunman stormed into the classroom, unleashing chaos. Charles's world went black. He awoke to find himself reborn—not as a human, but as a small dragon bone tucked away in a shadowy cave. This was no ordinary world; it was a realm where magic thrived and mythical beasts roamed. There was no grand destiny awaiting him, no innate talent for taming legendary creatures. He was just a bone. But Charles was not one to give up. He yearned to grow stronger, to explore this fantastical world. Through sheer determination, he gradually formed a skeletal body, becoming a low-level skeleton. He set his sights on mastering magic, with the ultimate goal of becoming a Lich. Yet, even in this extraordinary existence, one mundane insecurity lingered: "I'm bald in this world too..."

In a world ruled by ancient magic, swords, and noble bloodlines, Bones is a digger—one of the many faceless workers condemned to toil in the depths. Day after day, he mines in darkness, extracting materials to feed the noble house’s hunger for wealth and war. He’s told that his work sustains the empire, but all Bones sees is the bottomless pit of need from those above. But when the earth beneath him begins to shift, strange things emerge from the stone—relics of a forgotten age, unearthly tremors, and whispers from the shadows. As Bones digs deeper, he unravels a secret older than the empire itself. What he and his fellow laborers have been unearthing is far more than just ore—it’s a power long buried, one that could reshape the world. And the empire knows nothing of it. Caught between forces beyond his understanding, Bones must confront a choice: remain a tool in the hands of those who control him or wield the power he’s uncovered for himself. But as the line between right and wrong blurs, Bones begins to lose himself in the magic he’s unearthed. His desire to escape his fate transforms into an insatiable hunger for control, and the deeper he digs, the darker his soul becomes. In this epic tale, Bones will discover that true power lies not only in what is buried beneath the earth, but also in the choices one makes when no one is watching. The man who was born to dig may become either a hero who defies the empire—or a villain who ushers in its downfall. The question is: how far will he go before he loses himself? (Still writing casually, maybe 1 chapter a week, 2 if I'm free). (I will also be posting this story on RoyalRoad on username: SirV)

Watchers have always been male, and Zara’s birth as the first female Watcher led to her family’s exile.

[Fortune Cat Demon VS Bankrupt Tycoon] Jin Luo was a real-life Fortune Cat. On the day she transformed, she was struck by Heavenly Thunder into a book, becoming a cannon fodder character with the same name who was blacklisted by the whole internet. The bankrupt male supporting character picked up Jin Luo, who remained incredibly calm faced with poverty that was so severe they couldn’t even lift the pot lid; after all, making money was her forte. During a mall's grand opening event, she was invited to make up the numbers. When it came to the golden egg smashing segment, everyone else was cracking open various discount and cash vouchers... only she smashed open a piece of worthless rock. The barrage of comments was full of laughter. But Jin Luo defended it, saying, “This is actually a treasure.” Cynical fan: ??? Just as they were about to send a barrage of mocking comments, they saw her gripping the rock and forcefully breaking it apart, revealing an exquisite emerald inside??? Everyone: !!!
