Hi guys, this is my second novel here, and for you that have been reading my previous novel 'Is this really A Game?!' this one will be quite different. First of all, the system elements are light compared to my previous novel as the world I am writing about is one that had magic and monsters before the system arrived and is available to all. You should expect a dark story with a protagonist that acts like a villain at times and is quite calculative in his endeavors. Anyway, hope you enjoy it, and here is the synopsis. Lyle was an orphan, he knew not of who his parents were and only had memories of his mother from a long time ago. After being discovered by a mysterious man, Lyle joined the assassin organization and rose through the ranks thanks to his hard efforts, talent, and mysterious origin. The world suddenly changed during one of his missions, what was supposed to be a slightly more difficult mission became a hard one, and then the change occurred. Mana ran rampant and the many monsters of the world became stronger, more of them appeared and suddenly the inhabitants of the world that had suppressed monsters for so long were forced to fight the more powerful monsters once again. For Lyle, it was a chance, however. The system came into his world and he received an opportunity to become more powerful. Ding! [ The system has scanned the host and has concluded that the bloodline can be activated. ] [ Will you activate the bloodline? ] [ The host will have to sacrifice all the power he has and will be back at level 1 upon doing so ] "My bloodline, will I finally be able to track him down after doing this?" "System, activate it." [ The host has activated his bloodline ] [ The host has been marked by the Empress of the Night, it is advised that you become powerful quickly, otherwise, you might get captured ] "Huh?"

Being a villain is bad... but is that really true? In a world where magic is the lifeblood of the land, two women from opposing sides are destined to collide in a tale of love, power, and the thin line between good and evil. Alyndra was only five when her life was shattered by the brutal murder of her parents. Raised in the tranquil kingdom of Lunaria, she learned to wield her innate magical abilities to protect and heal. Despite the darkness in her past, she holds onto hope and goodness, dedicating herself to helping others and honoring her parents' memory. But the shadows that have lingered in her heart are not so easily quelled. Alyndra's kindness is tested when she crosses paths with a powerful and enigmatic woman from the dark kingdom of Noxaris. Thalindra is a force to be reckoned with feared and revered as one of the most powerful sorceresses in the land. With her striking androgynous appearance, short-cropped black hair, and piercing amber eyes, Thalindra commands respect and awe. Yet beneath her cold and calculating exterior lies a deep-seated loneliness and a hunger for a kindred spirit. Thalindra is on a quest to find a partner in crime, someone who can match her in power and ambition, but all those she encounters bore her until she meets Alyndra. Their first meeting is one of conflict, as Alyndra stands in the way of Thalindra's plans. But instead of seeing Alyndra as just another obstacle, Thalindra is intrigued by the younger woman's strength and the darkness she senses lurking within her. Thalindra sees in Alyndra a potential ally and something more. As they continue to clash, a slow and dangerous connection forms between them. Alyndra is drawn to Thalindra in ways she cannot understand, her once-clear sense of right and wrong becoming increasingly blurred. And Thalindra, for the first time in her life, feels a genuine affection for someone one that could either save her or doom them both. In this enemies-to-lovers tale, the line between hero and villain will be redrawn, and the roles will reverse as Alyndra's transformation into a darker self unfolds. The two women will challenge each other, shape each other, and ultimately, destroy each other’s old selves to forge something entirely new whether it will be for better or for worse remains to be seen.

'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'

Determined to uncover the truth, Sophie dives into the underworld, piecing together the events that led to her imprisonment and her family's tragic end. What she finds is more sinister than she could have imagined: not a mere misunderstanding, but a calculated act of manipulation from the shadows.

In a world ruled by immortals and split by the rivalries of powerful races, the Starfall Sword Family holds one of the few true immortal bloodlines. The third young master, Lin Feng, is a diligent but unremarkable heir—or so everyone believes. Reborn with the power to manipulate probability itself, Lin Feng sees the unseen threads of fortune binding others to their fates, potentialities just waiting to be exploited. But rather than relying solely on his rare gift, Lin Feng becomes a master manipulator, treating luck and people as resources in a game only he can see. With only three months before the Beast Academy’s entrance ceremony, where talents from across the realm gather, Lin Feng sets his plans in motion. Each connection, every friendship, is a calculated asset. Those blessed by fate become his stepping stones or fortune-tapped reserves. In this grand game of shadowed alliances, immortal family plots, and uncharted lands prowled by ancient beasts, Lin Feng knows he must dance with utmost caution. The academy hides secrets capable of toppling empires, and his own family’s immortal ancestors pull strings across centuries. Straddling the line between ruthless schemer and obedient son, Lin Feng builds his power piece by piece. He’ll risk everything—and anyone—to reach the top, because in a world teeming with monsters and immortals, only the most relentless will prevail.

"Mana to breathe, mana to eat, mana to fucking live," Inhale: -0.001 MP… oops! You're out of mana points. (Pay-to-breathe RPG.) Humanity's last walled stronghold. _____ In the world Elio lives, every gasp of air comes at a price. A floating indestructible book for every human, a magical system that turns survival into a pay-to-breathe RPG. Here, poverty isn't just being broke, it's choking. Surrounded by barren land and a sea of monsters on top of it (No water, just literal monsters), each day is a suffocating dance of survival, a balancing act between mana for air and mana for food. In this economy, holding your breath isn't just a game, it's a retirement plan. Driven by desperation (and the city's miserly rulers that don’t cut anyone a break), Elio dives into the Book System’s trials to save his family. Along the way, he unlocks powers he didn’t ask for and starts to figure out... Who he really is. Immerse yourself in an adventure where one young man's stubborn refusal to become a statistic could spark a revolution. Who knew being a pain in the system's rear could change the world? Because in Elio's world, breathing is just the beginning of the revolution and... he's gasping for change. But hey, who said saving the world had to be all doom and gloom? Join Elio as he kicks monster butt, uncovers ancient secrets, and maybe, just maybe, figures out how to grow a tree or two along the way. __________ Warning: May contain traces of world domination, an unhealthy obsession with the periodic table, damage points, progression math, and yes, even a sprinkle of that old "power of friendship" magic. Because sometimes, you need a buddy to help you remember which element does what or even help you calculate those sweet, sweet stats. A quick heads-up: Despite what the cover might suggest, this isn’t a hack-and-slash adventure. Think more along the lines of a turn-based RPG, where strategy and choices matter as much as action.

What if a power to level up or upgrade everything—your way of living, battle skills, military prowess, etc.—but this power is limited to your Eldritch tribe. Would you expand your tribe to rise above all adversaries, would you use it to gain more personal power or use it to toy with everyone? Lyerin wanted nothing more than peace on himself, but all he had was regret. He possessed a secret ability that allowed him to quickly excel at anything he chose, but he could only use it once. While others had to spend a long time to reach higher levels or master new skills, he only needed to complete a simple, specific task to level up. However, he had already used this ability to count a specific number of sand grains to save his own life. After that, his existence became a living hell. One day, he was unexpectedly sent back in time, where he would witness numbers appearing in the sky, signaling the end of the world again—an apocalypse he despised the most!

In a world where power determines destiny, Xie Zhen is a cultivator with a dark and ruthless reputation. Born in poverty and marked by betrayal from a young age, he has learned that the only law that matters is that of brute strength. Unlike the typical cultivation heroes, Xie Zhen is not driven by a sense of justice or a simple desire for vengeance: he is propelled by an insatiable need to control the fate of others and subjugate those who dare stand in his way. His rise is marked by calculated acts of cruelty and manipulation. He will not hesitate to use any method, whether it be theft, betrayal, or even sacrificing the souls of his allies to gain the smallest fragment of power.

While others form alliances out of caution, he infiltrates and destroys, using human weaknesses as pawns in a ruthless game of power. As he climbs the ranks of cultivation, Xie Zhen discovers forbidden techniques, paths that few dare to explore, which slowly transform his soul. However, his quest for infinite power draws the attention of ancient gods and malevolent entities, who see him as a threat to the fragile balance of the world. But Xie Zhen is determined to surpass even the heavens, ready to face all forces—whether divine or demonic—to become the very embodiment of terror. In *The Shadows of Ascension*, the reader is drawn into a spiral of darkness and pure ambition, where the protagonist does not merely survive: he crushes, consumes, and transcends the limits of human morality to reach a terrifying peak, daring the world to bow to his will.

In a world where technology is both a blessing and a curse, Ethan Stone is the enigmatic founder of SHIELD—a covert organization focused on global security—and the genius behind Sprint, a revolutionary auto-tech company that outshines even the most ambitious ventures of today. To the outside world, Ethan is just another tech billionaire with a mysterious past, but beneath the surface, he’s a master hacker, a fearless strategist, and a relentless force who refuses to bow to any government or authority. Ethan’s journey into the shadows began years ago when he infiltrated a secret government project experimenting on human augmentation. Although he came out of it with cybernetic enhancements that push the limits of human ability, he chose to remain fully human on the outside. His body may be altered, but his mind, spirit, and determination are unyieldingly his own. However, the digital fortress Ethan has built around his life begins to crumble when Mariam—a fiercely independent fashion designer—unexpectedly steps into his world. Initially, she’s just another civilian he’s trying to protect from his dangerous enemies. But as their bond deepens, Ethan realizes that protecting Mariam means more to him than any mission or project he’s undertaken before. She becomes the light in his otherwise dark and calculated life, reminding him of his remaining humanity. But Ethan’s enemies are ruthless, and they’ll stop at nothing to bring him down. When a shadowy figure from his past launches a series of brutal attacks, targeting Ethan and everyone he cares about, he’s forced to go on the offensive. Despite all his enhancements and strategic brilliance, he’s never faced a threat this personal. And it’s not just his life on the line—it’s Mariam’s as well. Determined to keep her safe without compromising who she is, Ethan uses his most cutting-edge technology: self-healing nanobots designed to protect her from harm without altering her humanity. As Mariam is thrust deeper into Ethan’s world of cyber warfare, mercenary armies, and covert battles, she proves time and again that she’s not just someone who needs protection—she’s his partner, his equal, and, perhaps, his greatest strength. Together, they navigate a labyrinth of secrets, betrayals, and shifting allegiances, as Ethan faces enemies old and new. As the shadowy figure continues to haunt them, Ethan must confront the question he’s been avoiding: can he truly protect Mariam without losing himself in the process? And what happens when the lines between human and machine blur beyond recognition? Beyond the Firewall is a high-stakes, action-packed saga blending elements of sci-fi, romance, and adventure. With a storyline spanning thousands of chapters, this epic series explores the price of power, the limits of technology, and the strength that comes from embracing one's humanity amidst a world where everything else can be hacked, upgraded, or controlled.

When a calculating genius finds himself reborn into a brutal world of superpowers and feral beasts, he quickly learns that survival isn’t for the faint-hearted. Betrayed in his past life, he’s hardened and ruthless, a man with a mind sharp enough to see through anyone and a heart as cold as the creatures lurking in the shadows.

But each failure only stirs his ambition. Uniting dark cunning with his growing powers, he tames and commands beasts others fear to even approach, binding them to his will and using them as stepping stones in his rise to dominance. As secrets unravel, he realizes he’s not just a survivor in this world—he may be its most dangerous force. For he is no hero, and in a realm that respects only power, he has every intention of bending it to his own twisted ends. What lies in the heart of a villain who tames monsters? Only one thing: the desire to rule them all.
