Sandbox Contest

Li Empire is the largest and most prosperous territory in Yuan Continent—on the surface. Internally, it is divided: ministers collude with nobility, the empress and empress dowager contest for power, and the emperor faces threat of illegitimacy as long as his brother lives. That is why, when Li Zhen Tian meets the kind and carefree Yang Zi Hua who understands him beyond the Dragon Throne, he irrevocably falls in love and makes her his consort. However, the imperial palace's harsh reality shatters Zi Hua's dream of a peaceful life. Amidst jealous love rivals and endless plots, a seed of doubt is sown. Can their love flourish against adversity, or is it destined to wither like a flower past spring? *** Shangguan Jiu was Zi Hua's best friend—and her complete opposite. Cunning, rational, and fiercely ambitious, Jiu enters the rear palace to accomplish everything her friend couldn't. Though as she schemes for glory and honour, she realises the only way for a woman to be in power is not through a man's heart... but to be the hand controlling him. Old enemies and grievances surface, while political tensions escalate with neighbouring nations, heralding a new era. Love and war arise; tears and kingdoms fall. Does the ruler wear the crown, or are they a prisoner of the throne? *** Notes: Cover art from Pinterest 2 Female leads Palace drama > political intrigue > warfare

In a world where everyone is undergoing their profession's transition, I've surprisingly awakened to two professions. Moreover, I've also awakened a defiance lifestyle profession. Preserve high-quality items? I'll just synthesize them. Preserve high-quality skills? I'll synthesize those as well. Preserve high-level pets? I'll keep synthesizing. Wait, why is this beast-girl so large after the synthesis? Let's start by synthesizing three "Skeleton Summonings." Synthesize into—The "Undead Army." Now, let's synthesize three Dark Wands. Synthesize into—The "Death's Scepter." In the grand interspecies gaming contest of the universe, can we, humans of the Solar System and Earth, ascend to an even broader stage? ......

*This is my entry for the WSA 2025 Contest!* This story revolves around Ashton Grace, a delinquent with a brash personality and a rough past. Ashton lives day to day in an endless, boring cycle of school, beating rival gangs, and skipping on stupid, mundane homework until his 18th birthday arrives, and his life changes forever. On his 18th birthday, a cursed demon sealed within Ashton awakens, changing the course of his life and even Ashton's unknown future unexpectedly. To find answers of his existence and to rid of the demonic curse, Ashton must work with Co, an underground exorcist organization that purifies demons lurking in the human realm to rid of powerful devils within the city of Tsurugi. Now to purify the world of demons and devils, Ashton must also work with Jin Itsuki, one of the top exorcist of Co nick-named Mad Dog, and seemingly the only person who can tame the demon inside of Ashton. Unexpectedly, of course, that comes with many problems--one with being falling in love with the one man who hates demons the most.

One day, the entire Earth is plunged into an endless ice apocalypse. All humans awaken in a desolate frozen wasteland with only a single flickering campfire to keep them alive. Here, the rules of reality have changed — everyone must gather resources, craft tools, and build from fragile wooden huts to sturdy stone fortresses just to survive the deadly cold. Monstrous frost beasts roam the white abyss. Hunger and cold gnaw at the mind. In this hopeless situation, humanity struggles, and countless people die every day. However, Ye Tian, an ordinary office worker, suddenly awakens a hidden SSS-rank class: ChatBot User! With it, he can access an exclusive "Command Console" akin to a cheat mode in a sandbox survival game: > /give longsword x1 /enchant longsword.sharpness5 /spawn survival_kit x1 But nothing is free. Every command costs Command Points (CP)—which can only be earned by overcoming brutal challenges, defeating frost beasts, or completing hidden missions. As the world falls into despair and the strong prey on the weak, Ye Tian forges legendary weapons, constructs indestructible fortresses, and commands an army of summoned beasts to dominate the frozen lands. When others shiver in broken wooden shacks, he lounges inside a grand heated palace. When others scavenge for scraps, he dines on gourmet feasts. "You want to challenge me? Sorry, I just gave myself a +1000 Strength buff." In this game of life and death, only he can write his own commands and decide his fate. --- Tags: Game Elements, Survival, System, Isekai, Overpowered Protagonist, Base Building, Resource Management, Face Slapping, Strongest Alone, Cold Apocalypse.

--WSA 2025 ENTRY-- Neraxis saved the people and wiped out the monsters, but instead of cheers, he faced silence and a glowing blue text: [Task Failed Successfully!] [Rating Generated: SSS-Rank] "The hell does that even mean?" he muttered, finding the situation a bit strange. Before he could process, the so-called heroes—who had hidden while he fought—emerged. He waited for gratitude, only to feel a dagger pierce his back. The only girl he loved stood behind him. She betrayed him. The crowd and heroes? They were staring at him with disdain and contempt. "You..." he groaned as a spear and sword headed for him, ending his life. But instead of dying, he was sent back to the past—specifically, to the first day of the academy, year 2367, 8 years before his death. However, many things had changed. One of the most significant was the sudden appearance of a Tower, a mysterious structure that had appeared across all the continents, granting power to those brave enough to contest its challenges. "Not again... With this chance I will end you all" Neraxis vowed to himself, embarking on his path of revenge, while also trying to give his life new meaning. ***** Disclaimer: MC is not instantly going to be a villain, as his background is that of a hero. The switch will be gradual in accordance with the events that happen along the way. Some snippets of such events have already been teased :) *****

His masterpiece? World Domination — a brutal sandbox simulation where players build empires, manipulate nations, and rewrite the global balance of power. But Alexis doesn’t play like the others.

Fastpaced novel made to give people a lore to read without professionalism Not that good at english, but if you find anything wrong, say it. And i will be happy to rectify Synopsis: World Creation: Sandbvox, the revolution of the decade. It was a god simulator stacked with many features and options for you to create and customize as you wished, including the ability to design and enchance your own creatures. But what made this game's experience wasn't any of those features, it was it's AI, it's so misterious out of league Log Reading AI But it wasn't just any AI that just narrated the events on the planet. It was an AI that knew english, and knew how to writte, and well! It had the capacity to gather the informations of the game and generate long, well described logs, telling long, detailed, coherent stories It was to such an extent, that people started making a living out of only taking good care of their worlds and uploading their AI logs on their blogs. And among those people was Atta. Atta was a genius failed programmer that worked at a convenience store and constantly contributed to the game's community, coding and modding it everytime he could. Adding new powers, features and addons to the log reading AI itself. He even created a version of it to himself, that acted as a mob in the game! Atta was so cleaver on his way to program, and did it so smartelly and efficiently, that it surpassed the realm of skill and reached the level of super power! A power so strong, that defied the laws of living, matter and non-matter. And after a whole night programming a new power to his Log Reader. Something unnexpected happened. "Hey Your majestyyyy, i think the demon forces are messing the mortal realm again..." What a head ache huh?
