Famous First Paragraphs

Back in 1996, when the daughter of the Old Xie family, Xie Wanying, said she wanted to be a doctor, many laughed. "Phoenix begets phoenix, dog spawns dog. A truck driver’s daughter becoming a doctor is as likely as a sow climbing a tree." "I’m not just going to be a doctor, I’m going to be a female chest surgeon," said Xie Wanying. Her words provoked even greater waves of disdain within the doctors' community. Relatives who were doctors ridiculed her mercilessly: "Do you know how high the admission scores are for medical students? Do you think you can make it?" "There are zero female chief chest surgeons in the country. Who do you think you are!" A bunch of people mocked her: "You'll probably only get into a third-rate medical college and end up as a health worker in a small county town. It's easy to imagine what sort of marriage you'll have." After the college entrance exams, Xie Wanying entered the top surgical class in the country with the highest science scores in the province, with department heads in the Capital’s top-tier hospitals vying for her from her internship beginnings. "Student Xie Wanying, come to our digestive surgery department." "No, she must come to our urological surgery—" "Pediatric surgery is in short supply of female doctors like student Xie Wanying." Circles of relatives and friends: … At this time, Xie Wanying independently completed the youngest Tetralogy of Fallot surgery in the country, represented the national association of chest surgery at an international medical forum, and published the world’s first minimally invasive heart valve repair surgery, becoming truly the foremost surgeon in the field of female surgery! As for the marriage concerns that everyone "worried" about: A brother from the Returned Overseas Faction, a hot bachelor within the Capital, changed his QQ profile picture to Junior Sister Xie. The young CEO, a handsome man, came to the hospital every day with flowers, keen to offer a diamond ring. Not to mention, a whole host of suitors had long since worn a path to the Old Xie Family's doorstep...

After Yun Xiao's death, his soul flew into the sky, and he was shocked to find that the vast world he had lived in for sixteen years was shaped like a tomb!

Inside the huge coffin is a fairy corpse with eyes like hell, mouth like hell, hair like a dragon, and body like a million mountains. I don't know where the immortal gods have been sleeping here forever! The youth's wronged soul is immortal, escaped into the immortal corpse and was reborn. Using the Tianzhu of the world as the sword, and the floating continent as the talisman, one person and one coffin will kill through the immortal road and pass through the heavens to prove the truth!

[Never Meet Your Heroes] Have you ever heard that phrase? Think for a moment, if you had the chance to meet the person you admire the most, what would you do?

Could you live with the regret of not having tried? Mila Vellerth, an energetic and spirited young woman, faced a similar dilema. One day, she had the chance to meet the super famous sorceress Katrina Erlenbaugh. "I can't miss this opportunity!" she thought, filled with excitement. However, to her misfortune, Mila had no idea that taking this step would lead her into a dark and dangerous world.

Eren Kain was an ordinary engineer and inventor until the day the Tower of Trials appeared. A massive, otherworldly spire reaching into the heavens, the tower beckoned humanity with promises of power, wealth, and immortality—but also death. Unlike the others, Eren was forcibly bound to the Tower. No one else could enter until he began his climb, and he couldn’t leave unless he reached the top. Stripped of magic, aura, or any supernatural ability, Eren’s only advantage is his engineering genius and the technology he can smuggle in. From basic firearms to drones and exoskeletons, he uses every tool at his disposal to survive the monsters, traps, and bizarre ecosystems within the Tower. Yet even technology has its limits in a world governed by magic. As Eren climbs, he discovers the Tower isn’t just a trial but a puzzle. Its magic isn’t arbitrary—it’s systematic, a science he slowly learns to decode. However, one wrong calculation could kill him instantly, forcing him to balance experimentation with survival. He scavenges magic crystals, artifacts, and spell books, using them in crude, improvised ways to bolster his arsenal. Over time, he begins merging technology and magic, creating unique hybrid tools to overcome the increasingly insurmountable challenges. But why was Eren chosen? What secret does the Tower hold? With no escape and the weight of humanity’s fate on his shoulders, Eren must climb—not just to survive, but to unravel the truth of the Tower itself. every 50 collections I’ll give a chapter and every 20 powerstones I’ll give a chapter every 10 reviews I’ll give a chapter

Warning!! Please be aware that there will be incest in this story. Before the Elven goddess created her first elf, she created a guardian for them, a demi-god without a soul that possessed a single purpose: to protect the goddess' creation. He did so for eons, protecting them from mighty titans, fearsome dragons, greedy humans, and filthy goblins. He protected them until the war that led to his death and almost all of the races on the realm, where they waged war against the elves. He fought alone for twelve winters, which led to the deaths of billions of mortals and eventually his own. He welcomed his eternal sleep, but Elven goddess called for him once again. This is my first story that im writing for fun and english is not my first language so please be patient with me. I will try to write myself as much as possible while using AI to correct my grammar. I'm thinking of adding some other elves from games, like the Windrunner sisters from Warcraft, and anything other than my OG belongs to their own respective creator. Warning!!

In a world where gods and demons exist, only disaster awaits. Watch as two boys from opposite situations deal with the obstacles of life

In a world without kindness, only the strong survive. Far from any known land, shrouded in fog, lies an ancient and isolated island—a place of breathtaking beauty and dark, hidden secrets.

The island seems alive, a world unto itself, both alluring and dangerous.

"Don't kill yourself." 'So there is someone who still cares about me.' With teary eyes, he thought. "And if you wanted to do so, you should do it more naturally, so that you wouldn't waste the police's time in investigating the reason behind your death. You know, you should at least be a patriotic citizen after you died." "....." what was he expecting in the first place. ...... Bullied by his white lotus stepmom and not loved by his scum father, Bai Sheng decided to end his life by jumping down the rooftop. However, he was pulled back by a beautiful girl who sincerely advised him on how to become a patriotic citizen. But Miss Feng isn't completely a bad person, because she gives him another sincere advice, to take back what should have been his!. And he did so! After becoming the CEO of the Bai Corporation, Bai Sheng shamed every businessman for his talent. He became a respectable individual and the ideal man of every woman.

But five years later, he found her! And he must repay her grace of preventing him from dying. "What the hell do you want?!." Feng Xi asked, eyes full of annoyance. "I want to repay your kindness." With a gentle smile that could make women swim over him, Bai Sheng replied. "I don't lack anything!." Feng Xi gritted her teeth. Did the man think that she didn't know what he was thinking? not when his face didn't need the word 'desire' to be written on it to know what he want. "You lack something, babe." "....." She is confused because she has the latest limited edition Hermes bags in her wardrobe. "And that's me!." He declared. "Damn it, I fell into his trap again!." Feng Xi thought. Before she could say anything, he carried her into the bedroom, and the rest became history. ~~~~~ 1000+ words per chapter. Update on Tues, Thurs and Sat. 10 Power stones = +1 chapter
