For each Xuan Chong Vine he harvested, he would receive a portion of Hidden Star Sand. For each Underworld Spring Flower he harvested, he would receive an Underworld Flame Elixir Recipe. ... From then on, he decided to live a peaceful life, staying put and observing the tumultuous changes of the Cultivation World from his Spirit Field.

Lucas thrived on tormenting Dimitri, a fragile boy trapped by his mafia family’s expectations. But after Lucas is institutionalized, their connection is severed, leaving Dimitri alone to claw his way to the top. Years later, Lucas returns, expecting the same weak boy—only to find Dimitri transformed into a ruthless overlord who now craves control over him. What should’ve been revenge turns into a twisted obsession. Dimitri doesn’t just want payback; he wants Lucas—mind, body, and soul. And for the first time, Lucas feels exhilarated by the idea of losing control. Drawn into the deadly mafia underworld, their toxic love story unfolds through betrayals, bloodshed, and power struggles. Together, they are unstoppable—a force of chaos, passion, and destruction.

A Note from Barnaby Twiddlepot Dear Reader, Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Barnaby Twiddlepot—inventor, dreamer, and, some might say, the architect of one of the most infamous culinary catastrophes in history: The Great Spaghetti Incident. It is a tale as tangled and twisted as the spaghetti it spawned, and I feel both duty-bound and curiously delighted to tell you my side of the story. This book is not merely an account of the absurd events that unfolded in Flipsville that fateful summer. No, it is a testament to ambition gone awry, to the sheer unpredictability of invention, and to the fragile boundary between genius and madness. What began as an innocent attempt to revolutionize dinner parties ended with an entire town engulfed in a wave of pasta-shaped pandemonium. Through these pages, you will witness my humble beginnings, the birth of the Spaghettifier, and the escalating chaos that turned my quaint little backyard laboratory into ground zero for an unprecedented incident. You will laugh, you will cringe, and perhaps you will even find yourself questioning your next plate of spaghetti. This is not merely my story. It is the story of a town, a machine, and a series of events that would forever etch the name Flipsville into the annals of culinary history. I have done my best to recount the events faithfully, but let me assure you, the truth is stranger than any fiction I could ever concoct. So, prepare yourself, dear reader, for a journey into the absurd. As you turn these pages, remember: no noodle is ever just a noodle, and sometimes, the simplest ideas can spiral completely out of control. Bon appétit... and good luck. Yours in tangled ambition, Barnaby Twiddlepot Inventor, accidental calamity maker, and reluctant chronicler of the Great Spaghetti Incident.

Qin Lin was playing a nostalgic game called “Ranches Story” when he was electrocuted. He suddenly discovered that he had the ability to enter into the game. He could even bring a watermelon he had planted in the game back to reality. At first, his plan was to sell watermelon for 2 yuan a catty. In that case, he could earn 20,000 yuan by planting 10,000 catties worth of watermelon in the game every day and selling them in reality. Later on, he discovered that by leveling up his ranch, he could obtain high quality crops that surpassed that of the real world. If he reared livestock, they were of far higher quality than that of reality. After he built factories, he obtained various recipes that far surpassed that of the real world. Everything changed after that.

I have had this idea about a story for quite a while now. The idea behind the story is that the MC is reincarnated into a world like minecraft. The difference beeing that its modded and that peoples and some of the mobs bodies look normal (not blocky). I will see which mobs look ok if normal and which do not and decide based on that in future chapters. I am also taking inspiration from some other games I have mentioned in the first chapter... together with a pseudo cultivation system. I'm planning on the MC having a cheat... it will look small to him... but to the residents of the world it would be something they would kill for. I'm pretty sure you know what the biggest hurdle of modded minecraft is. The ever following lack of RAM on your machine as you add more mods... yes that is true XD The answer would be thousands of recipes and journals on how mods work lol. The cover is from the picture of someones world that I found on google. I had deleted Minecraft on my computer recently cause it was causing some problems with my memory... I have a shitty laptop what can i do :P I might install it later just to take a screenshot from some of my worlds lol. If someone recognizes the picture as theirs they can contact me and ask me to remove it. Also, my native language isn't English and I'm not the most literary talented of people. So do bear with me. My English is quite good though... I would like to think... most mistakes will be small typos here and there since I'm typing this on my phone. Also stylistic stuff... but I can't fix that on short notice. The cover

In the drafting feast, she was re-engaged by the Emperor to marry the famous disabled prince! Everybody laughed, a blind tr*sh with a disabled wastrel. What a perfect match! However, they didn’t know that in her hand, she grasped the long-lost primordial pill recipes! Her practice in medicine had reached the apex! Her contracted beasts were unique in the world! What was the most frightening, was the disabled prince she was engaged to… A black-belly full of dirty tricks, with a heaven-opposing cultivation physique, he defeats all geniuses! In his wheelchair during the day, yet entangling her in bed as he trained his waist muscles… MF! Is he really crippled?! - - - Am merely translating it to this site. Am not the author

It’s 2068 and technology was so advanced that human kind had been able to progress and improve life to such an extent that short range teleportation of people and goods were possible. Space travel was still not yet viable due to other planets uninhabitable or inhospitable terrains. There was one event that did change Earth and the way the human race lived. In 2040 scientists discovered the ability to condense mater allowing the ability to teleport things a distance away. With this discovery they also discovered the existence of an alternate dimension which housed a planet similar to earth but with creatures far different yet similar to ours. With this knowledge, a research team was sent to the other side. The mission went sideways, the reason never confirmed. The dimension and it’s beings started to merge with Earth and its technological advancements causing everything to change. Some parts of Earth remained somewhat the same after merging with the alternate dimension causing Earth’s landmass and oceans to increase 4 times in size. Creatures of all kinds become common so also did those who could tame these creatures. This is the story of Ken Lyman and how he will travel the new world with the monsters he catches on his journey.
