An awkward mess of a college freshman who turns into a blushing, stuttering disaster at the mere thought of social interaction. Yet, for some reason, girls seem to simp over him.

Ren Jiang, an introverted architect, died. He found himself transmigrating into a psychotic villain of the novel he read. Thinking about gaining new martial powers, he excitedly stepped out of the door. He did not get the powers but ended up face to face with a childhood friend who was obsessed with the original body. Ren, "..." Trying to get rid of the obsessed friend he found himself entangled in life and death situation with none other than the male lead. Ren, "... Please, leave me alone!" With the help of his system, Ren, now, Dorion, tried warding off the evil people and correcting original's evil ways. He finally achieved a peaceful life.... Not really. Even, when he carefully avoided any troublesome interactions with the main leads, he still, ended up catching the eye of the male supporting character. A person who appeared at the end of the novel, just to torture the original Dorion. Even when the original owner begged for death, he was cured to be tortured again. Ren, "..." Looking at the tall figure coming towards him, Ren sneakily tried to wiggle his way out, "I'll l-leave right now. I-I didn't m-mean to come here…” Kade Death laughed, his wine-red eyes gleamed with amusement. He easily trapped the beautiful person in his arms, "You didn't actually think that I would let you go, right? The scared Ren, "..." I did, But I dare not say! "I let you go once, my sweet, not anymore..." Ren, "...System, H-Help!" System, "Why don't you help me?!!!! Save me from the claws of this nine-tailed fox!!!!" ---------------------------------------------------------- This was my first novel. And I realized that... To some readers it came off as a bit erratic at some points. Is it hilarious? Yes, absolutely. Is the story different than other transmigrations? Yes. Is it hard to grasp? Maybe, for some readers. I have learned so much after writing this. So, I am glad that I did. I may or may not edit it in future for better readability. If you are reading this, I am glad that you did. If you find it erratic... you can check out my other novel (⁠◔⁠‿⁠◔⁠). .............................................................

[This story will be posted on Royal Road As Well under the username: fastwan16]For 15 years, a mysterious voice told Ash two things 'Get stronger' and 'Fight.' Not the best advice, but when you're stuck in a monster-infested limbo, you take what you can get. Then, a god shows up, opens a rift, and throws Ash (monsters included) onto Earth. There, he meets his doppelganger, Thorne, who immediately hates him. Why? Thorne thinks Ash wants to steal his hard-earned social status. Yeah, as if Ash cares about high school politics while eldritch horrors are ransacking the mall. Ash’s plan is simple: punch monsters, grab a burger, and enjoy his new life. If Thorne wants a rivalry, he'll have to get in line—right behind the monster tearing up Main Street

But that's all useless history now. The world has gone to shit. With the appearance of otherworldly corruption the world didn't stand a chance. It gave immeasurable power for a price.

“And what is it about him that still makes you love him?” I asked, sensing I already knew the answer. “Oh, my dear, please try not to hold onto so much resentment for your father. He might—” “Mom!” I interrupted, my voice breaking as a sardonic laugh escaped me. “How can you still find a way to justify his actions? Even if you have some lingering feelings for him, shouldn’t they fade when you think about what he’s done to me? Am I really not as important as the man who has only brought you pain?” My emotions overwhelmed me, and I struggled to hold back my tearsThe silence enveloped us, and I could feel the weight of uncertainty in the air. I couldn't help but wonder what had clouded my mom's judgment, perhaps it was the influence of that man she called her husband. “Mom, I think it's time for you to choose a side,” I said, my voice trembling as I neared the end of my sentence, fully aware that I might never address him that way again. “You can’t keep pretending this is going to work. It’s either me or…him.” “Serena, please, you can't win against your dad. I really think you should drop any thoughts of going against him. He’s not as bad as you believe, dear. Remember, he’s the one who pays for this house and your college tuition. Your clothes and food—all of that is still his responsibility, and he’s meeting those obligations. All I ask is that you finish college, find a job, or better yet, settle down with a good man,” my mom urged, her voice tinged with an earnest desperation as if she were trying to convince not just me but herself. I listened, trying to remain calm, a bittersweet smile crossing my lips as I realized I couldn't back down from my convictions. “Alright, Mom, if you’ve chosen Mr. Andre, that’s your decision. But I won’t be swayed—I’m going to forge my own path, and I hope you’ll understand that when the time comes.” With that, a sense of resolve washed over me, and I braced myself for the future ahead, knowing it would be filled with both challenges and possibilities.

I can't stop talking about Snap Shot services after such an incredible experience. An intruder gained access to my email in May, and my data and Bitcoin wallet were exposed. As a result, I lost $560,000 in savings and operating business assets. It was insane!

My first poem collection book

Rhapsody Series #1: Our Emotions Form a Symphony Hyacinth Flores thought he had left everything behind—his past, his pain, and most of all, him. After years of struggling against expectations, betrayal, and unspoken emotions, he found solace in composing music, far from the shadows of his school days and the person who once meant everything to him. But when a chance contract ties him back to Rhapsody, the band that took the world by storm, he’s forced to face the ghost of his past: Yukimura Santos. A prodigy drummer bound by family expectations, Yukimura never allowed himself to stray from the path set for him. Cold, guarded, and strictly straight, he refused to acknowledge feelings that threatened his world. But when Hyacinth entered his life, a mute transfer student with a passion for music, cracks began to form in the walls he built. Years later, regret lingers in the silence between them, and now that fate has brought them back together, Yukimura is determined to mend what was broken. But Hyacinth is no longer the boy who once clung to unreciprocated feelings. He’s changed—closed off, distant, just as Yukimura was to him in the past. As music becomes the bridge between their hearts once more, can Yukimura compose a way back into Hyacinth’s life? Or will their final song be one of farewell? A slow-burn tale of love, loss, and second chances, Our Emotions Form a Symphony is the first installment of the Rhapsody Series—a story where emotions are louder than words, and the melody of the past refuses to fade.

Hellium Dexter is a drained, 26 year old, old man who believes that his sole reason for living is to overwork himself. Contrary to his lifestyle, his agemates had been busy making their lives successful, with both time and money, plus girlfriends. While he, on the other hand, had been assigned to an unreasonable boss and toxic officemates who seem to enjoy living trampling others.

A man with the power to overturn life and death situations by willpower and shouting! A 26-year-old who still have chuunibyou. Not like he can use his will power and shouting in the real world though. For example, when he saved a child from an attempt of suicide by jumping off a bridge. A mundane effort!

Only to find himself on an unfamiliar scenery with a body that could only move a little. A baby?! Did he reincarnate as a baby?

“They're not dead,” “They are alive… watching and laughing from the shadows as we all fall into our coffins.” The Domains had grown weaker, and the Gate of Oblivion had finally collapsed, weaving ancient terrors back into existence. Ripped from their reality, three strangers were plunged into a nightmarish dimension where death was permanent, and survival was an illusion. Every full moon, the Otherworlders were judged with simple but merciless rules—succeed and walk further in hell, fail and be annihilated. ___ Elias Valor, a ruthless hitman for a local mafia, was no stranger to violence, but the dreads of this dimension pushed him beyond insanity as he stumbled against two other anomalies—Lysandra, a sinister healer, and Malachi, a mad prophet. With each mission, they descended deeper into a world where their deadly and mystic skills were both a weapon and a curse. Haunted by their past sins and the forgotten horrors of the dimension, they had to navigate brutal landscapes where survival came at a price too steep to pay. As the lines between reality and nightmare blurred, they faced a dark truth: the greatest threat might not be the dimension, but the darkness they once were. “The clock has stopped—but the true game has not even started.”
