In a world where life itself runs on game-like mechanics, the lines between reality and fantasy are blurred. Vex, a professional gamer with a mysterious past, thought he’d conquered every challenge the world could throw at him—until now. As society reels from a cataclysmic event, rumors spread of a hidden “final level” known as Echelon, an unbeatable stage buried deep within the system, designed to test the very best. But there’s a catch: if you fail, there’s no coming back. Armed with a rare skill he’s kept hidden, Vex must level up, complete quests, and find rare items that will unlock the path to Echelon. Along the way, he’ll face powerful rivals, form alliances with deadly factions, and uncover the dark secrets behind his own hidden past. But as Vex inches closer to the final level, he realizes that the game world isn’t just affecting his life—it’s merging with reality itself. With each “boss fight” revealing the game’s darkest depths, Vex must conquer Echelon or risk losing everything, including his own existence.

Captain Jaxon "Jax" Vashin, a charismatic smuggler, and his crew are pursued by the ruthless Earth Union Government (EUG) for their involvement in smuggling and treason. After receiving a cryptic message from a mysterious ally, Arin Vex, they embark on a perilous mission to retrieve an ancient alien artifact. As they navigate the galaxy, they're joined by Captain Zara Nexus, who proposes an alliance to take down the EUG. Together, they uncover the sinister Project Erebus, a bioweapon designed to wipe out entire populations. The crew soon discovers that Erebus is merely a test for the true threat: the Aurora Initiative, a powerful AI created to control the galaxy's infrastructure. Jax's crew and Zara's team must infiltrate heavily guarded facilities, fight against elite soldiers, and overcome treacherous alliances to stop Aurora and the EUG's plans for domination. Along the way, they confront their own demons and forge unlikely alliances.

In the mystical city of Verenthia, darkness looms as an ancient entity known as Malakar threatens to consume the world. Once a feared antagonist, Dorian Vex has spent years building his reputation through manipulation and treachery. But when whispers of an impending doom reach his ears, he realizes that power alone won't save him—or anyone else. Teaming up with Elara, a rogue sorceress shunned for her dark magic, Dorian embarks on a perilous quest to confront the very darkness he once sought to control. As they delve into forbidden texts and ancient prophecies, they uncover the true nature of Malakar—a malevolent force that thrives on fear and despair. Together, Dorian and Elara must navigate a treacherous landscape of betrayal, self-discovery, and the blurred lines between good and evil. As they confront their pasts and challenge the complacent Council of Elders, Dorian discovers that being a hero doesn’t require a pristine reputation; it requires courage, sacrifice, and the willingness to change. In a world where shadows hold secrets and alliances can shift in an instant, can the most unlikely of heroes unite to save Verenthia from its impending doom?

In the far distant future, there are only two constants in the world. Life and Death. Humanity fights the Android threat in hopes to continue living. Meanwhile Lance is just trying to survive in the hostile world. In hopes to reach old age.

In a universe where steam-powered ships sail the stars, a young mechanic named Jasper LaBrant joins the crew of the HMS Protea, hoping to find his place among the cosmos. There, he meets Thaddeus Beaufort, the vessel's blind chief engineer, whose brilliance is matched only by his biting wit and closely guarded heart. Thaddeus's brilliant mind is often overshadowed by his ethereal beauty—a beauty that seems to captivate and ensnare the heart of anyone who crosses his path, whether he wills it or not. As Jasper and Thaddeus navigate the complexities of their growing connection, an attack by the notorious pirate Captain Silas Vex tears them apart. With Thaddeus taken captive and the Protea crippled, Jasper must embark on a desperate rescue mission with the aid of an unlikely ally. On a distant, alien world, Thaddeus finds himself ensnared in a web of ritual and politics, facing an obsessive prince determined to possess him body and soul. To survive, he'll need to rely on his unparalleled intellect, his knowledge of forbidden xenobotany, and the very allure he's always seen as a curse. Above all else, Thaddeus must hold fast to his unshakable belief that Jasper will find him. Visceral and passionate, this steampunk space opera weaves a tale of love, survival, and the unbreakable bonds that draw us together in the face of impossible odds. Set in a richly imagined universe filled with alien wonders and dark delights, it's a story that explores the power and peril in being seen, desired, and ultimately claimed by those who would possess the brightest among the stars.

An average guy somehow finds himself in the DC Universe. By some sort of miracle, he didn't go mad and ended up planning an escape. He nearly succeeded. Perhaps he succeeded a little too much. The DC universe lost a potential hero but that doesn't mean he can't be one in another place. The only problem is that the line between friend and foe is truly blurred here.

"thanks dad for the reminder im leaving now!"

She laughs and cackles on glee and the sheer freedom and speed she is going through so mych foot traffic, being a tier one city with more than twenty million people in it, theres always a lot of foot traffic.Some people who have seen her in traffic before are used to her antics while others are awestruck and surprised as she flashes by, her red pixie cute hair fluttering around her and her red and white stripped hears easily seen as she does flipps and dives over people into the tiny spots in the crowd. After a near flat out run, for 15 solid minutes, making it outside the huge hunters building, where hundreds of thousands of new hunters and old are streaming in for various reasons, some are just like her here to activate the system and see what they awakened as and to register.Walking in and looking around having to hop several feet in the air a few times to survey over the crowd, in doing so drawing some attention from several group all around wondering if she is part rabbit or something, some of the people in line in front and behind her giggle and laugh and a couple dwarves smirk as they realize what she is trying to do before she finally sees that she actually randomly selected the correct line on the first try. "phew, made it, and im not dead last, hopefully i awakened something with machine..." she says,a bit of forshadowing.

What if I told you there's a place like no other, where magic and mythical beasts are the norm. A place where you and anyone else can become powerful and wise. This is certainly not your world but it was mine. My world has been torn apart by wars and power hungry mages trying to grasp for power. My world used to be full of people trying to make it better for everyone around them. They would share their discoveries and work together to build a better and brighter future. We had many bright and prosperous cities. They were full of life and people learning new things. But that all changed when The Traxxas came into power. They decided that only certain people were allowed to use magic. They started many wars and killed many people. The last war “Magic’s Shadow” destroyed all of our greatest cities. Our world is nothing but a remnant, a lost memory. All of this history is lost to the world. There are no longer mages or great wizards of the past. People have made their homes among the ruins of our once great civilization. The once great and all powerful mythical beasts have become nothing more than monsters out for blood. The mages were replaced by dark magic users know as Jrax. Everyone is now out there for themselves. Now you're probably wondering who am, I  go by Vex. All you need to know is I'm a sword wielding, badass bounty hunter.

[18+ readers] "I was not sorry. Not even once." My eyes fell upon those long pale fingers which just held me from a certain death. "You are already a pain. If you go around doing like this might as well put me into the bars for years." His bad-mouth was so lively that even those harsh cold words were enough to make me cry and roll down to my knees. Julien Tedd. 25 years old married to a grumpy cold-hearted man in his 30s. An actor and a CEO of PAXTON Trades which was in delta. He as a fake husband with grey eyes and an vexed face. Who loves money than anything. "I wasn't a bitch to you. Who asked you to fake marry me? My parents loved to woo you in their well-beings." Those were the first time I said something deliberate to outstand my voice in that relationship. "Bit furry of time. If my memory serves right. Monica, You Annabella with two horns. Go sleep alway to death." He did hurt my heart that day. We slept in different bedrooms. Though we would put an act on when our parents visits us. On occasions like weddings or house rituals with my young sisters or my big brothers side. He hated me being around him. I hated him how he ignored my existence in the big mirage of his. He loved to call me by my first name Monica Dus. He didn't bother to put the Tedd of his name beside mine. I was no honour of him. He wasn't proud of me. when we both married I was a professor and was soon becoming the principal of the FD college, Columbia University. My dad proposal broke me down to marry some unknown grumpy man!! I was still in my 25 years where I should be happy not sad. Our marriage was like a contract basis- He would act on his role. As if he was gifted this act to do. I found myself fond of his submissive side. His black hair was perfect with those thin glasses which read thousands of newspapers or faces of other ladies. Wait! Other ladies? He impressed other ladies while doing his job too. My marriage was fake. Very fake. Made-up in my mind that we would somehow fit with each other nagging, fighting being disloyal and bad-mouthing for everything. Martina, my younger sister questioned my marriage or love life which was written on my face everytime I visit them. That I was never happened to be putting this act on. Not even the marriage was forced without anything enclosed about to me. It was winter, when I started to understand him. He was practically tired of putting upto me. Not even coming physically challenged with me. His lips told the words which were hard to swallow "I want to end this acting for years. Would you mind helping me recover that?" What's exactly that? It was just as my younger sister said 'he will fight to keep you by his side as you live with him. You know how to cook what to cook. When he gets angry or happy. He will dip his head to make you feel loved and love you too.' Was it true? Then was I always this dumb? His hard big thump pressed my forehead bringing me back to seep into the eyes of his. "I said will you take responsibility for making me sick for two years?" My lips parted to speak but it wasn't speaking anymore they were locked with my married man. The man who owned me. Who minutes ago made me feel a complete loser and defeated me to get on my knees and cry for him. Beg him to spare the life. To cut all the marriage ties with him. Are we able to hold a family anymore. A real one? Was he? Or he was fooling around? Those years of carnage over my ears, eyes, lips were already served as a graveyard right?

Luo Hong was standing in front of the mountain gate of Huangfeng Valley. At this moment, he had to admit the fact that he had traveled to "Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" Pushing the glasses that no longer existed, Luo Hong said categorically, "Like Han Li, I am a false spiritual root" "It seems the only way I can go is to scientifically cultivate immortality!" Why is there a bottleneck on every fourth level during the qi refining realm? How can you maximize the chance of establishing a foundation? How many factors affect the speed of cultivation? How fast is Han Li running? When cultivating immortality in this world is an objective fact, then science is immortal cultivation, and immortal cultivation is science! (Note: This is not my book)

'Do you still remember what place is this?' This is the 'always' quote of people who visit me everyday. They don't asked me random things of how I am, they just want me to remember what exactly is my place. My room is breathable and comfortable. I can breathe enough to stay sane, and I can eat whatever I want, but the case is, I can't get what I really wish. 'FREEDOM' WHY? is it because I'm the black sheep of the family that they want to take over in this abandoned cage?.... Yet, suddenly my wish came unexpected. My twin got injured that push me to stand as her, not as me, the hidden princess. Yes, I am happy to view the world, but I can't act freely as what I am, ' it is just the same in my cage'- the Prison Princess. 'But it is just a trap to end my life.' Because I got killed after being expose as my twin mirror, The Crown Princess. However, blue sapphire light came on my view in my verge of death, and told me a spell to revive soon enough. Which is my own Revolution as the Fit Throne Successor of the kingdom.

Thirteen Reasons Why tells the story of thirteen people who influenced high schooler Hannah Baker to commit suicide. Told from the point of view of her classmate Clay, who is slowly listening to seven cassette tapes on which Hannah has recorded her story, the novel is a suspenseful revelation of the many forces that combined to demoralize Hannah. Author Jay Asher addresses this heavy subject matter with realism and fairness. Covering such issues as self-esteem, identity, rumors, romance, sexual abuse, teen drinking, and depression, Hannah’s experiences and those of her peers will resonate with many young readers. Students will not only be caught up in the riveting read, but may also find the novel a thought-provoking reflection on aspects of their own lives. Jay Asher’s novel provides parents and educators with a helpful starting point for many difficult topics that too often go unaddressed.Thirteen Reasons Why addresses many controversial topics that students may initially be uncomfortable discussing. Teachers, too, may find the subject matter difficult to approach. Before beginning the novel, teachers should take care to prepare with relevant background reading on subjects such as bullying, suicide, and sexual abuse. Make sure to also research appropriate authorities and helplines for providing official student support in these areas. The organizations below may be helpful resources for both teachers and students.National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) Rape, Abuse, Incest, National Network (RAINN), 1-800-656-HOPE In addition to its powerful thematic content, Thirteen Reasons Why can be a wonderful tool for teaching literary concepts. Asher uses a creative story structure and alternating point of view to tell his story and maintain suspense. The novel contains parallel stories, which alternate every few lines from Clay’s narration in the present to Hannah’s narration in the past. Clay’s part of the story is told through stream of consciousness, a method of narration in which the speaker expresses thoughts and feelings in a continuous flow of words. Asher also employs unique formatting techniques, including italics to indicate Hannah’s recorded voice and symbols representing the “stop”, “pause”, and “play” functions of the cassette player. These symbols also indicate a switch in narrative point of view. Other literary devices to teach along with this novel include foil, tragic flaw, foreshadowing, irony, figurative language, and deus ex machina.
