When a so-called “mage prodigy” at a prestigious magic academy tries to summon an unstoppable monster for an upcoming battle tournament, she accidentally hauls in an average-kun from Earth. Unfortunately for him, local legend paints Humans as the ultimate demon species—infamous for their indulgence in ungodly desires, greed, and destructive nature that destoryed the very habitat that gave life to them. Now, this bewildered “Human Demon” must keep up appearances, while his summoner scrambles to hide the fact that the only magic she can perform is Illusion Magic. Together, they’re caught between suspicious classmates, looming magical duels, and a system that expects them to be either fearsome or fantastically powerful, but in truth - they’re mostly just hilariously out of their depth. Prepare for magical mischiefs, comedic misunderstandings, and one grand illusion that might prove dangerously real. This is a tale of fight for survival, path to glory, and a journey of redemption.

[Webnovel Rising Star ll Contest] What will you do if you are the younger brother of the number one genius under the heavens? What will you do if you know whatever you do, it will barely be a breeze before the raging flood of your brother's actions? Will you envy him, will you hate him, or will you support him and become a side character of an ever changing dangerous world? This is the situation Eugene found himself at, a boy filled with envy and jealousy toward his brother but also can't help to love him with all his heart. Unfortunately, the world never gave them time to process their complex emotions as things change everyday that seek to not just kill them but destroy their very homeland. This is a world that is barely functioning due to the illusion of hope! The more ignorant you are, the more free you are but power comes with responsibility. Knowledge comes with the dangerous realization that the future is bleak and despair is around the corner. Eugene found himself born in a world that ‘Awakened’ as they called it, humans devolved from Apex Predators centuries ago and are barely cattle for the ever evolving beasts and monsters. Two things saved the humans from extinction, and it wasn't their knowledge or weaponry; they are all useless against intelligent beasts that can do better. What saved them was some benevolent beasts that took them as servants, slaves and some as cattle for rearing. The second thing that saved them was the appearance of Gateway that led to various realms in unknown dimensions that aids them to make a pact with willing beasts. They finally gained strength and power and huddled around Gateways and built Settlements. Eugene found himself in a race against time as he dived into an unknown dimension, filled with mystery and danger that might have the answers everyone desire.

The cycle of life is not infinite—except, perhaps, for Elijah. At 122 years old, Elijah lived a long and successful life—until he woke up as someone entirely new. Now, an anomaly in a mysterious kingdom sustained by magic, he faces questions about his place in a world that doesn't defy the laws of nature, but take them to an entirely new level. For over six millennia, this isolated realm of 300,000 citizens has thrived, its survival bound to the magic that nurtures its air, water, and food. Yet, some whisper that a kingdom refusing to expand is doomed to fall. How, then, has this kingdom endured? As Elijah uncovers ancient secrets, dives into treacherous cave systems, and grapples with the fatal flaws of magic, he learns the truth about existence itself—forces that shaped the cosmos. New alliances rise to confront an ancient plague, and the kingdom's delicate balance teeters on the edge of collapse. In this world, the vibrant hues of freedom and potential are mere illusions, like sunlight filtered through stained glass. Elijah must decide whether to shatter the illusion—or embrace it. ———— This novel goes into great detail about the ways of the people and how it will differ from the suspected outside world. What seems like a population of people who do not have much knowledge, show how they found their way by “feeling”, or by anecdotal(personal) evidence.

Rana - The Quest for Eternity In the brutal and unforgiving world of Rana, survival is a constant struggle, and the laws of existence are harsh and unyielding. The concept of immortality and eternal life does not exist—death is inevitable, and illusions bind the souls of the living. Rana is a world where selfishness reigns, and only the strongest, most ruthless can survive. Shree Heng, a man of unparalleled intellect and ruthless ambition, is determined to defy the very nature of existence. In his first life, he was a normal student, living in a world of simplicity, until a tragic accident sent him to Rana. There, he was thrust into a cycle of suffering and brutality, where every day was a battle for survival. After 200 years of endless misery, Shree Heng’s spirit was broken, but his thirst for power and transcendence never waned. Over the course of 600 years, Shree Heng's journey led him down dark and forbidden paths, and he eventually became a coward, consumed by fear and regret. But fate had more in store for him. Surrounded by evil spirits, he sought out a mysterious garland—a relic that could reverse time itself. Using a Rana insect, Shree Heng went back in time, seeking to change his fate and achieve what was once thought impossible: immortality. Driven by a single, unwavering goal—to escape the illusions of Rana and attain eternal life—Shree Heng delves into forbidden knowledge, ancient rituals, and dark powers. He manipulates those around him, forming alliances with other powerful beings like Nyxara, a manipulative master of illusions, and Varek, a manipulator of life force. But as his obsession grows, so too does the price he must pay. Shree Heng's journey leads him to the horrifying truth: immortality is not just a myth—it is a trap, designed by ancient entities to keep the world in eternal suffering. To break free from this cycle, Shree Heng must confront the very forces that govern Rana and challenge the nature of reality itself. But with each step closer to his goal, he risks losing everything—his humanity, his identity, and even his very soul. In a world where betrayal is common, and every alliance comes with a price, Shree Heng must face the ultimate choice: to break the illusion and risk unraveling the very fabric of existence, or to accept the brutal reality of Rana and live with the knowledge that immortality was never meant to be. Rana is a dark, philosophical journey into the depths of human ambition, the futility of immortality, and the consequences of seeking to escape the illusion of life. In the end, Shree Heng’s quest for eternity may not lead to freedom, but to an even greater truth—the painful realization that some illusions are meant to remain unbroken. --- This synopsis captures the essence of Shree Heng’s journey in Rana—his relentless pursuit of immortality and escape from illusion, set against the backdrop of a cruel and brutal world where every choice has a cost. The story explores deep themes of ambition, morality, and the consequences of seeking power beyond the natural limits of existence.

WSA 25 ENTRY ******** The world I knew was ordinary or at least bearable—until it wasn’t. I was just another corporate drone, drowning in a dead-end job I hated, stuck in a life that felt like it would never change. That is, until the mages decided to pick me. Every ten years, the mages choose ten people from across the faction—ordinary people like me—and thrust them into the Beast Games, a sadistic contest where only the strongest survive. The rules are simple: tame the fiercest creatures that world has to offer, fight to the death, and outlast every other contestant. Fail, and you die. Succeed, and you get to return home. But nothing there was as simple as it seemed. Thrown into a land where beasts rip through flesh without hesitation, and other contestants see me as nothing more than prey, I’m forced to rely on a mysterious system that offers me quests and tasks to survive. This world doesn’t play by any rules, least of all the ones we know. I will survive and I will find the ones who made this game and when I find them, I’ll show them what happens when you mess with someone who has nothing left to lose.
