Xeno Pan

Ruby was a genius; however, she tragically passed away after falling from the fiftieth floor of her own company's building. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an entirely different world. Have you ever heard about the Ghost World? I'm not referring to the world of deceased individuals, but rather a planet. Ruby was shocked when she woke up in the body of an twenty-year-old girl who was already married and had four ghostly husbands. Unfortunately, these husbands didn't love the original owner, and the original owner treated them poorly. The first husband leaned over with a sly smile on his face and said, "You think you can leave me, pretty wife? Nope! Once my eyes catch what I like, I will get it no matter what." The second husband angrily exclaimed, "I hate you, stupid witch! Don't leave me; your stupid husband loves you." The third husband innocently said, "Wife, I made my special soup for you," and proceeded to show bowls filled with blood. The fourth husband gently raised her chin and said, "Wife, I can't believe that with every passing second, minute, and hour, I'm falling for you even more." The fifth husband, who fell in love with her at first sight, looked at the camera and arrogantly smiled. "I fell in love with someone at first sight! Get ready to grab it; I'm throwing ten thousand gems to celebrate," he declared as the camera panned to a room filled with money and treasures. Ruby : "..." Please, someone, make me dead again.

He hasn't had the best life, in fact, some would argue that his life couldn't have been worse, but there's still hope, even for a nihilist. As when an expedition to colonize the moon quickly turns into a disaster, he is swallowed whole by an anomaly and spat out somewhere completely different. Here one can conjure flames with words and summon thunderclouds with a shout, but it's not all fantasia and ecstasy. The world seemed peaceful enough, but as he learns more and more. He realizes everything he sees is a facade, and what's truly underneath is a civilization built on blood and war. In fact, the whole world is in a state of war. Then to top it all off, solidifying that he has truly jumped out of the frying pan and into the furnace, Ragnarök is fast approaching, and there's no certainty that he'll survive, that anyone will survive.

Updates @ 14:00 and 16:00 (+8) What can be considered a treasure? Brandon was the largest dragon there was. His old scales alone could buy an entire country. But he did not have a treasure to speak of. Just gold, glistering gems, and a homey cottage where he hid when the goings got tough. One day, as he was collecting wild herbs, he found his treasure. Beaten, with a slavery rune on him, barely alive. Pan was not much, but to Brandon, he was a treasure. A treasure fit for a dragon.

Those who are alive, please speak." Li Pan said, "First of all, I'm not a cyberpsychotic, I'm just a little too spiritually aware."

A blizzard had raged for ten days, with temperatures plummeting to below minus fifty degrees Celsius. Yet, that wasn’t the most terrifying part. The impending disasters of rat plague, extreme heat, drought, acid rain, tornadoes, and other severe weather conditions would follow one after another, each one a veritable hell on earth. Gu Pan was reborn seven days before all these calamities began. At this time, her Space was still with her, her husband was still alive, and she needed to hoard resources like crazy. Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, medicine, weapons, electricity, and all other essentials of life—she had to stockpile enough for the next lifetime. What? The ‘friend’ who had betrayed them in the previous life was also reborn? And they had hoarded a warehouse full of supplies, even more than them? No more nonsense, just take it all into her Space. After the apocalypse began, she and her husband kicked off a spree of zero-cost acquisition. In this life, they would take revenge on their enemies and settle all scores. Those who had hurt them would be repaid double.

[1V1 easy read, a pampered romance] Time-traveled straight into a wedding, does it have to be this intense? "Hey, hold on, groom, I'm not your bride!" Su Pan'er fiercely resisted.

In a world of advanced technology and ancient traditions, jōki—a powerful energy fueled by emotions—determines one’s strength. Those who can wield it gain extraordinary abilities, while those who cannot are left to live in the shadows, able to sense jōki but never use it. Luka Viazemsky is different. Born without emotions, he cannot perceive or harness jōki, making him an outcast. Bullied and shunned, he struggles to understand concepts of right and wrong. But everything changes the day he is pushed off a cliff—an accident that should have ended his life. Rescued by a mysterious man, Luka learns he is not alone in his suffering. The man, too, was cursed with a life without emotions, yet he possessed something rare—a unique form of jōki that did not require emotions to manifest. Taking Luka under his wing, the stranger trains him before passing down his extraordinary power, unknowingly painting a target on Luka’s back. Now, armed with an ability he barely understands and hunted by those who seek to claim it, Luka must navigate a world that has never accepted him. As he fights to master his newfound strength and blend in with those who once rejected him, he discovers a far greater threat—the Xeno, an alien race that looms over humanity’s future. With enemies closing in, Luka embarks on a dangerous journey to find his missing sister, uncover the secrets of jōki, and confront the dark forces that will stop at nothing to control his power.

That night, Aegis Squad infiltrated an abandoned laboratory complex to capture a mutated zombie alive for research. The air reeked of rusted metal and decay. "Make sure the trap is ready," whispered Major Pan Colman. Lila nodded, checking her device. "Ready, just waiting for the bait." Hart, tracking zombie movement, looked uneasy. "They’re smarter than we thought. We must move fast." From the shadows, a massive mutated zombie with armor-like skin emerged. "Wait for it to step into the trap," Pan whispered. As the creature moved forward, Lila activated the device. Steel clamps trapped it, sending high-voltage shocks that made it thrash violently. Before they could celebrate, Hart panicked. "Major, something big is moving behind us!" From the ruins, a giant zombie with protruding bones emerged, smashing through a wall with unnatural speed. "We need to move, now!" Pan ordered. The squad hauled the trapped zombie into their containment truck, escaping as the complex collapsed behind them. Inside the vehicle, Dr. Alaric muttered, "This isn't normal mutation. The virus is evolving too fast." Hart nodded. "It’s as if someone designed them. But who? And why?" Suddenly, a loud metallic thud echoed from the roof. "What was that?" Lila asked, weapon raised. Hart checked his tablet. "Something's on top of us! But it wasn’t detected before!" Pan signaled. "Rico, stop the vehicle. Lila and I will check." They stepped out and looked up. A tall, gaunt creature with razor-sharp claws clung to the roof, staring at them with soulless black eyes. "What the hell is that?" Lila whispered. The creature lunged with blinding speed. Pan and Lila dodged, but their bullets had no effect. "Get back inside! Now!" Pan commanded. They sprinted back, Rico hitting the gas. Hart read his tablet. "This thing… it's like a predator. Faster, stronger." Dr. Alaric whispered, "If this was made by Dominion, we’re dealing with a far deadlier bioweapon than I imagined." The creature pursued them, closing the distance. Lila and Pan fired, but it dodged effortlessly. In one leap, it grabbed the steel trap containing the mutated zombie. "It’s trying to take the zombie!" Lila yelled. Pan hurled a smoke grenade, forcing the creature to retreat. The vehicle sped away. Inside, tension remained thick. "We can't keep running," Pan stated. "We need to fight back. And we need to find out what Dominion of Varex has really done."

People got a planet in the beginning and what to do with it was up to them.

"Your thousands of angels are powerful, but I have three thousand Chaos Demon Gods to beat you in a minute!" "Your army of darkness is awesome, but I have the Buddha's Paramount Sage, who will defeat you in a minute!" "..."

A world filled with swords, magic, and a kingdom embroiled in war. Immediately upon arrival, the class is asked to help a Human Kingdom win the ongoing war against a Demon King's forces. Only once victory is secured would it be possible for them to return home. Not all were swayed by the Kingdom's desperate pleas, however. Christopher Monty, a lifelong skeptic and skilled academic, wanted out before he was dragged into someone else’s mess.

Using the cheat-like skills given to him by his transmigration and his unique Monster Tamer job, he will gather and train female monsters to help him escape. Once free, he’ll evolve his tamed monsters into human-like monster girls called Xenos, and fulfill his fantasy dream of building a monster girl harem. Life might not be easy in an alternate reality filled with magic, but Chris isn’t afraid to play dirty to achieve his goals and learn to thrive on the fantasy world of Lanka as the ruler of Xenos monsters, the first ever Xeno King.

The first

Dropped

Four girls, one chaotic house, and a whole lot of trouble. When Orm, a fiery and stubborn student, finds herself forced to share a house with Ling, her lifelong rival and ultimate nemesis, life quickly spirals into a whirlwind of hilarious disasters. From flying frying pans to awkward encounters that leave cheeks burning red, their feud is as intense as it is ridiculous. But beneath the chaos, sparks of a different kind begin to fly-ones neither of them is ready to admit. As Sia, the responsible (and exasperated) leader of the group, struggles to keep the peace, and Tina, the laid-back observer, delivers biting commentary, it becomes clear that Orm and Ling's "enemies" dynamic may be hiding something more complicated. With tempers flaring, accidental moments of intimacy, and an unshakable bond forming in the most unexpected ways, this laugh-out-loud story follows the lives of four polar opposites navigating friendship, chaos, and maybe even love. Can Orm and Ling survive living under one roof without killing each other? Or will their rivalry evolve into something completely unexpected? A humorous, romantic slice-of-life about love, laughter, and learning to live with the person you least expect.

Most folks join the military to serve their homeland, defend freedom, or chase after glory and honor. Not Malakar. He joined for two simple reasons: money and women. Sergeant Rock had filled his head with promises: knighthood after the war, the adoration of the masses, men envying him, women flocking to him, and even an estate from the Emperor himself. Sounded like a good deal, right? Turns out, it was complete and utter horseshit. The battlefield didn’t smell like glory—it stank of blood, piss, and rotting corpses. Honor? A joke. What greeted him at every corner was death, endless and indiscriminate. But Malakar was nothing if not a man of his word. Sergeant Rock drilled that into him, right between the sword thrusts and the screaming. So, Malakar endured. He followed orders, slaughtered pig-bloods, butchered witches, and carved up state soldiers—all in the vain hope that Rock’s promises would pan out. Spoiler: they didn’t. Zermania lost the war, the Emperor got himself shish-kebabbed by the Sentinel, and Malakar—the so-called “hero”—was branded an enemy of humanity. Hunted down like a rabid dog, he eventually got himself killed. But death, as it turns out, is more of a suggestion than a rule. Fast forward 500 years, and Malakar’s soul has found a new meat suit. He’s alive, some what free, and determined to be a better man. Easier said than done when all you’ve ever known is war and murder. A little slip-up here, a minor incident there… like accidentally catching the eye of the world’s strongest superhero’s daughter or, oops, killing the heir to the most powerful family in existence. Malakar’s trying, really. But being a better man? Let’s just say it’s a work in progress.

Fate must be playing tricks with her. The same man that she had been resisting for more than half a decade. The same powerful Alpha who was hellbent on making her his. Of all people, why him? She had waited so long for this day, to be finally free of his seductions, his manipulative ways trying to get her. But fate had other plans for her. If she was in the frying pan trying to control herself from giving into her lustful desires, then she was definitely straight in the fire when the Moon Goddess paired both of them as mates.
