“You know, I’ve met death. Rather polite, actually. But it doesn’t knock, just lets himself in.” Life. That fleeting flicker between two eternities of silence. People spend it chasing things—money, love, validation, a good seat on the train. They build empires of paper, relationships of glass, and sleep each night under the illusion that tomorrow has been promised. But it hasn’t. It never was. Death doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t care if you’re a king or a child. It arrives like an old friend, or a thief, or worse—like something you invited in. And yet… every now and then, the universe hiccups. A soul slips through. A crack opens. A second life is born—not as a reward, no, but as a test. Because what could be more dangerous than a man who's seen how the story ends—and comes back knowing exactly what not to do? But here’s the rub: a second chance is not a reset. It’s a curse with velvet gloves. You remember the pain, the loss, the betrayal—and worst of all, the choices you didn’t make. So when someone tells you this is just a story about life and death, smile politely. In many cases—in most cases—you’ll hear stories of heroes rising from the ashes, grateful for their second breath. However… in my case? I wanted to be the villain. To see a different end to this story. People say a person’s nature is hard to change. That deep down, we are who we are. But I changed... simply because I was curious. --------------- Join the discord server. https://discord.gg/BaP4c8b8Vq

"Pernahkah terbesit dalam benakmu, apa yang sesungguhnya terjadi pasca-kematian? Menurut ajaran agama, jiwa manusia akan dikirim menuju alam akhirat—sebuah alam ruhani atau alam jiwa. Di sana, jiwa akan diadili berdasarkan setiap perbuatan semasa hidupnya; jiwa yang dipenuhi kebaikan akan membuahkan surga, tempat di mana keindahan, kedamaian, dan kenikmatan tak terbayangkan menanti. Sementara jiwa yang berlumur kejahatan akan disiksa di neraka, suatu tempat dengan api menyala dan panas membara yang akan menghukum pendosa dengan siksaan yang amat pedih. Itulah keyakinan yang mengakar, sebuah siklus takdir yang konon tak terelakkan. Namun, bagi Kylie Minogue, seorang penulis ternama yang karya-karyanya mengukir namanya di puncak popularitas, garis takdir itu justru terhapus. Saat ajal menjemput, jiwanya, entah mengapa, dirinya tidak diadili di dunia akhirat untuk mengukur amal baik atau buruknya. Sebaliknya, jiwa penulis itu terlepas, melayang bebas menembus batas-batas sistem tata surya, menuju kehampaan kosmik yang tak terjamah. Namun Kini, setelah jiwanya terlepas dari segala hukum fisika dan metafisika, apa yang menanti jiwa seorang author di hamparan kehampaan itu? Petualangan kosmik macam apa yang akan membentang di hadapannya? Dan, akankah ia menemukan tujuan baru dalam eksistensinya yang melampaui kematian, atau justru tersesat abadi dalam narasi tak terbatas semesta?" ikuti kisahnya hanya di novel ini!!!

"You let them surround us?!" she hissed, drawing her blade. "We’re trapped!" I raised a hand. "Trapped? No. We’re exactly where I want them." —CLICK. The runes beneath their feet lit up in a perfect circle. "...Wait. Was this a setup?" "Of course," I said. "It’s easier to catch flies when they walk into the web themselves." ... My name is Loki. Not the god of mischief, but close enough. In my last life, I was a street rat with a bad attitude and a worse haircut. My hobbies included tricking rich kids, stealing cheap paperbacks, and reading one fantasy novel over and over until the pages tore. And then I woke up inside it. Not as the protagonist. Not as the villain. Just a nobody. A background character with zero stats, no plot relevance, and a world that forgot I existed. Worse? I remembered everything. The betrayals. The corrupted kingdoms. The apocalypse disguised as prophecy. The chains. The flame. The end of the world. Oh—and the author? Let’s just say they made a lot of… questionable decisions. So I decided to make a few of my own. Steal the legendary cards. Manipulate heroes. Kill villains before the plot needs them. Lie, cheat, and break the system itself if I have to. Because if fate made me a nobody— Then I’ll become the bug that crashes the whole story. This world doesn’t know it yet, but I’m done playing by its script. I’m not the reader anymore. I’m the rewrite. Checkmate. ... discord: https://discord.gg/59UqUTSZbt

A young prince that had torns of life

The book he wrote wasn't some ordinary book, nor was he an ordinary person. He holds the ability to see the future unknowingly and writes it down as great stories.  Little did he know, he would wake up in a different body in a world where he finds out the characters in his book…A world of magic, swords and monsters.  'Wait, this isn't a world from my novel. It's a real world and the novel is just my prediction of some people just like the guardian said. So I will just enjoy the show as an audience and leave after the story ends. I have a whole new world to discover in front of me.' But what awaits him was something he could never imagine. In front of the world, in front of the whole universe, his assumption was just a grind of sand. The truth of the world made him rethink his life and the life he lived back in another world.  Viktor North, the author, finds himself in the middle of the whole universe where he was nothing but an extra later in his life as he kept living. An extra who was abandoned by his mother, his brother who was an elemental guardian and also a demigod, his race and the God.  'But I prefer to sleep than going against these unwanted people and unwanted problems. I want to sleep. I just want to shut my eyes and sleep under my warm blanket, probably forever if it's possible.' This is the story of an author, a grand magician, a guardian who somehow became a god and the only thing he could think of was sleep.  He is the definition of what a 'Shut-in' is. ... ...

Author’s Shadow – Synopsis Elias has never trusted the world—not after the silence that followed his parents' death, not after the betrayals that shaped his solitude. The only place he feels alive is within the pages of Whispers of the Hollow Realm, a fantasy novel he’s read so many times he knows every line, every death, every lie. But when the words begin to change—rewriting themselves in ink that drips from the page—Elias discovers he’s no longer just a reader. He’s being written in. Pulled into the Hollow Realm, Elias finds himself entangled in the narrative he once loved. Yet things are... wrong. The hero is hostile. The world is cracked. Characters thought long gone whisper in shadows. And at the center of the unraveling story is a single truth: The Author is not just a creator. He is a god—and a tyrant. Haunted by a girl who knows the ending, hunted by a narrative that resists his presence, and drawn to allies who shouldn’t exist, Elias must uncover why he was chosen—and what happens when a story decides it wants to be free. But breaking the story may come at a cost. Because in the Author’s world, characters die for disobedience. And Elias may be no exception.

She’s a nobody, a struggling wubnovel writer pouring her heart into stories no one reads. Until him. Her first and only fan. He comments on every chapter, sending long, heartfelt messages about how her words move him, how her characters speak to his soul, how she, through her writing, has become his entire world. At first, it feels like validation. But then, it becomes more. Their connection evolves into a private and electric bond, fueled by her seductive prose and his growing obsession. Through late-night messages and steamy exchanges hidden in the comments of her chapters, the writer begins to craft her stories not for an audience, but for him alone. He wants her. Needs her. Fantasizes about her constantly. But the cruel twist? She isn’t real. Or rather, not in the way he wants. She exists only as the idea she’s created, an unreachable goddess of words and fantasies. As his obsession deepens, and her own loneliness drives her closer to him, they enter a dangerous game of desire and denial. She toys with him, weaving herself into his mind, his life, his dreams, but always remaining just out of reach. She knows he will never stop wanting her, but the truth is, he can never truly have her.

Does this sound familiar? The author writes a story with an academy setting, gets a DM asking for it to be rewritten, and then wakes up in his story as an extra? Yeah, that’s me right now. And just when I got an offer for it to be turned into a webtoon… Whatever. My MC’s capable, and my story’s pretty generic, so I should be able to coast on by- > SYSTEM: A new plot point has been added to make the story less predictable #$@!$!@#!
