[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT]. I am an ordinary high school girl. My name is Lily, a beautiful girl with blue hair and blue eyes. On the day I was born, a fortune teller predicted my twist of fate, declaring that my appearance would cause great trouble. My parents believe strongly in this vision, and for this reason, they conceal my beauty, making me appear as the ugliest girl. Well, I'm not sad because I know this is only a concealation. I fell in love with my classmate, Lu Chen. I sought the help of my friend regarding this matter, and surprisingly, Lu Chen asked me out. Happily, I accepted his proposal without a second thought, and we began our relationship. Our relationship lasted for a year and a half, and I thought that since he loved me so much and didn't care about my appearance, I should give him a huge gift: to reveal my stunning appearance. I was prepared and ready, so I went to his house, but I was greeted with an unbelievable scene. My friend and my boyfriend, in the same room, were together, making love. That's not all, I also overheard their conversations that he approached me not out of love, but because he was using me to maintain a good image at school while also protecting his relationship with my friend. Heartbroken, I snatched the nearest vase and went away to the cliff. I never expected him to come after me. I couldn't accept reality; I couldn't bear it at all and I sought a breakup, but instead of granting my wish easily, he pushed me off the cliff. I thought I was going to die, but my life was strong; I didn't perish. However, that strong life of mine was strangely troubling as I found myself in a beast world. In this beast world, beastmen were the most handsome, while their females were extremely ugly to the point of causing pain to the eyes. I discovered that the men could have only one wife in their entire life, while females could have as many husbands as they wanted. Furthermore, females had the opportunity to abandon their husbands, and death awaited the men who were abandoned. How I wish the men in my world were punished like this! I could only pity the unfortunate beasts. Oh... I am a peerless beauty in the beast world, and I am pursued by many powerful beasts. It's really true that only a beauty can be surrounded by power. What do I do? i only want to go back home, If possible, I want to punish both my friend and Lu Chen. but the question now is... how do I go back? am stuck her with powerful Beasts as my mates

Someone appears, silent as a shadow. They understand every thought, every wound, every quiet dream you’ve hidden away. Who are they? They look at you with your own memories in their eyes, wearing a life that feels like yours—and yet it’s not. They claim to be you. Would you trust them? Would you let them in, knowing they might reveal the parts of yourself you’ve buried the deepest? And if they are indeed a part of you… are you forced to accept them? Do you want to? Their presence stirs something you can’t define—a connection that feels fated, an understanding that runs deeper than you can explain. They slip through the fabric of your life, binding themselves into your existence, as if they’ve always been there, waiting to step forward. Yet behind that familiarity lies a tension, a question that lingers: What if they’re here to reflect not only the best parts of you but also everything you fear to see? Are they here to free you from your own shadows… or to pull you into theirs? Currently Improving Chapters, If some dont make sense, well it will soon. Quality over Quantity (finished polishing! I think, anyway 50 Chapters Woohoo!!!

"This is your new reality. Find me, defeat me, and you will be free."" These were the final words of Kaito Nakamura, the mastermind behind Eternal Nexus, a VRMMORPG that turned into a deadly nightmare. On the day of its release in 2030, over 50,000 players were trapped inside when Nakamura uploaded his consciousness into the game and cut off any possibility of logging out. The ultimate twist? Death in the game meant death in real life. Any attempt to unplug the player from the VIZion system would instantly kill them. Five years have passed since that horrific day. Only 10,000 players remain. With the world desperate for a solution, the world governments launched Project: GRIM REAPER—an elite operation to send ten of the most skilled individuals from around the globe into Eternal Nexus. Their mission: locate Nakamura’s in-game avatar, defeat him, and bring an end to this death trap once and for all. My name is Rei Kurogane, and I was chosen to be one of the ten. I’m not a professional gamer, unlike the others. I’m a Kenjutsuka—a practitioner of the ancient art of swordsmanship. My brother and sister are among the thousands still trapped in the game. I have no choice but to enter this virtual hell, not as a player, but as a warrior determined to save them. Nakamura started this game. I will end it—with my own hands.
