She was a well-made daughter - molding herself into whatever they needed her to be. A perfect doll. A flawless façade. She mastered every expression, every action, and played her role without fault, because this part of her life belonged to them. But not for long. There will come a time when she will break free. No longer will anyone dictate her path or define who she must become. She will be the sole director of her life. Yet, just as her carefully laid plans were slowly reaching their climax, her world began to turn upside down. One disruption after another—incidents she could never have foreseen—and new acquaintances who refused to stay away no matter how often she cut ties with them. Her life had always been difficult, but these unexpected twists thrust her into a roller-coaster ride she never asked for, even bringing a hesitation she had never imagined she’d feel with her plans. Like a caterpillar struggling to form its cocoon, she is fighting for her own transformation. But she knows that once she emerges, she will be a butterfly—free to soar higher than ever before. … “Let me tell you now, your kindness? I don’t need it. What you offer? I don’t want it. And a piece of advice—be careful with your kindness. It might bring pain to those you wish to protect, rather than support.” She turned her back, leaving him standing there, watching her retreat into the distance. … "Because I was like her once—filled with guilt. Those were the words I needed to hear, the ones I gave up hoping for long ago." He looked at her, his gaze softening with sympathy. “And you don’t seem like someone who’s ready to free herself from that guilt.” “Someday, maybe. But not yet. Not just yet.” “When that time comes,” he asked gently. “Will you tell me first?” She paused, meeting his eyes before a faint smile touched her lips. “I suppose I can do that much.” … “Whatever I’ve been through, no matter how difficult, I’m proud of it. I’ll never feel ashamed of the things I’ve done to reach this point.” She cupped his cheek, her touch gentle but firm. “So don’t feel bad for me. Be proud of me. While you weren’t there, you were always on my mind. You gave me the strength to keep going. Remember that.” He leaned into her hand, his voice quiet. “Then tell me… tell me everything you’ve experienced.” 14 chapters a week... Published 1 minute apart...

A world without gods struggles against cunning and dangerous monsters from another realm, teetering on the brink of collapse—until… Silvanus never expected to die at the peak of his glory. He was on stage one second, accepting his third consecutive Best Actor award. The next, he was dead—crushed by a falling glass stage light in a tragically ungraceful demise. But the worst part was yet to come. He didn't indeed die. Instead, he woke up in an entirely different world, one on the verge of being swallowed by darkness due to an overwhelming invasion of monstrous creatures. [Beep—Acting System activated! Greetings, my god. Please create your character and start collecting Acting Points!] Thus, humanity discovered that they now had gods, divine protectors who guided them in their battles against monsters… A god who feared everything yet could foresee the future. A narcissistic deity who commanded water and life itself. A depraved being who, despite his corruption, remained undefeated against even the strongest creatures. No one knew they were all the same person. "Worship me. Believe in me without end. And one day, I shall truly descend upon this world…"

Discord: https://discord.gg/t2gPEt3 Synopsis: Keith, a vieux riche, spoiled and cherished, heir to the Demiliore Consortium, lives his life at large. Power, Wealth, Fame; He has it all. But is it all just a dream? With a set of memories, the knowledge of the future, in a play orchestrated by Destiny, knowing well that he is born to be a Villain, will he prevail? Or is he going to fall at the hands of the Child of Destiny just like he did in the nightmare that haunts him? Author's Note: Yes, the story is heavily influenced by Urban-Fantasy Chinese Novels. Don't read if you have a problem with those types of plots. 'Cliche' plot elements are bound to appear, so if you easily get triggered by such things, keep away. And I would advise you to not even start the story if you are an ardent believer of 'Good shall prevail over the Evil'. Keep away! MC here is a Villain! But yes, he is not someone deprived of emotions, even though he is a Scum. So, do not expect an outright Evil MC either. I don't write Netorare. Don't worry about it!

"I love challenges," he added. "Very well!" the elf harrumphed. "Have the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last," he sarcastically added. Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships. But one thing is clear in his eyes.

Mainz, Federal Republic of Germany, 1948. In this alternate universe, where humanoid cats take the place of humans, Erich von Stein, a war veteran from the conflict with the USSR, leads an almost peaceful life in his hometown of Mainz. The trauma of war and the demons of the past have left their mark on him - his face never betrays a smile. Working as a train driver for Deutsche Bahn, he tries to find peace and meaning in the post-war reality. One day, however, he receives a call from his friend, who is currently working as a scientist at the Hanover University of Technology, which is conducting pioneering research on inter-dimensional technology. As it turns out, the University has lost contact with its inter-dimensional hub, Interpolis - a cyberpunk metropolis existing in another dimension, access to which is made possible by advanced technology. Erich agrees to help, due to his experience and knowledge of technology, and is sent on a mission to restore contact and find out what happened. Interpolis greets him with a dark atmosphere, where a powerful corporation, Void, casts a shadow over the city. Controlling every aspect of the residents' lives, Void holds the city in an iron grip, and social inequalities are commonplace. I, II, and III Class Implants divide society into the better and the worse, and access to technology is strictly controlled. In this dangerous world, Erich meets Greg, whom he saves from being beaten by Void's services, and Douglas McKeen, the head of Vectron, an organization fighting against Void.

In a world where cultivators reign supreme and power is everything, where the strongest are revered as gods.

Alone, betrayed, and scorned, Diablo’s journey has only just begun. But fate has plans for him, ones that will test not only his strength but his very heart.

In the face of an impending apocalypse—the sun's imminent destruction—Earth's technology proves insufficient to save humanity. Hope arrives unexpectedly in the form of aliens representing the Intergalactic Federation, peacekeepers who have come to adopt Earth's inhabitants into their cosmic alliance. Since Earth falls within the Federation's jurisdictional boundaries, they are obligated to offer salvation. Due to transportation constraints, only 70% of Earth's population—approximately 5 billion people—can be evacuated, along with samples of all animal and plant species. Governments worldwide prioritize children's survival, while countless elders make the ultimate sacrifice, willingly remaining behind to ensure the younger generation's future. The Federation implements a sophisticated ranking system to allocate humans across various planets under their control. High-ranking individuals will be sent to advanced, resource-rich worlds, while those with poor or non-existent rankings face relocation to harsh, barren planets. The interstellar journey will take 170 years, during which evacuees will remain in hypersleep pods—their bodies frozen in time while their minds remain active. These pods are designed to interface with the Federation's network, allowing occupants to participate in a full-dive VRMMO during the journey rather than enduring nearly two centuries of sensory deprivation. This metaverse mirrors Federation society, offering evacuees opportunities to select and train for careers based on their qualifications. Many choose military roles, government positions, scientific research, or engineering paths, requiring specialized training in advanced Federation technologies and interstellar politics. This preparation ensures that upon arrival, humans will possess the knowledge and experience necessary for their chosen professions—making career selection a critical decision. Every eight years, travelers are awakened for three months to exercise and perform maintenance duties aboard the ship, primarily cleaning and system upkeep. However, those who achieve top rankings in the Federation metaverse earn special privileges and freedoms during these awakening periods. As humanity embarks on this desperate exodus, the race for survival transforms into a competition for rank—determining not just individual futures, but the fate of the human species among the stars.

"I Want to Play a Game" blends elements such as time loops, infinite streams, rule-based games, and post-apocalyptic survival, all set against a unique Chinese aesthetic with mind-bending plot twists. The story unfolds in an alternate realm known as "The Land of Endings," where all participants are "the Guilty"—people burdened with sins in the real world—who are forcibly drawn into a death game controlled by the Twelve Zodiac. The game is divided into three levels: "Heaven," "Earth," and "Human." Within ten days, participants must win "the Dao" through strategic play, deduction, or cooperation; once they accumulate enough, they can escape. Those who fail will lose their memory and be resurrected on the eleventh day, while only those who awaken the "Echo" ability can retain their memories and move on to the next cycle of reincarnation. Originally a "place for divine creation," The Land of Endings has become a brutal battleground for survival following the betrayal of the Zodiac leader, "Tianlong" (Heavenly Dragon).

Donovia A world of swords and magic. A world a we’re Mages’ farts can change the geography of countries and Swordsmen more skilled than Captain Levi molesting the Beast Titan, and to add insult to injury can run at speeds so fast that they take the “bolt” in “lightning bolt” and shit on it… Anyways our MC has been summoned into this world alongside the cliche group of Japanese class of highschoolers to “Save the World” from the Demon King. However it seems that nothing is at straightforward, or to according to the MC it isn’t… P.S. The image isn’t mine I just poached it of google so credits go to whoever made the image P.P.S. Everything (except the some of MCs abilities) in this story is my own creation. Even the shitty world-building is mine, however, i will Endeavour to improve it P.P.P.S. MC is kinda a bit Chaotic-Neutral kinda edgy. His bottom-line is low but not that low so don’t be surprised if he sees starving kids on the verge of death only hanging on because of that little crumb of stale bread they ate in the morning, stops, stares at them and decides that they aren’t worth it and continues on his merry way. No type of earthly morals gunna get in his way(unless he decides to) and also this is not spoiling so don’t get your panties in a twist.
