The way of heaven is impermanent and ruthless. It embraces everything and is free from it. There is no good or evil, no right or wrong, no gratitude or resentment, no joy or sorrow. The way of immortals is the way, the way of demons is the way, the way of monsters is the way, and the way of Buddha is the way. Lying high on the nine-layer cloud, I have realized the truth of the way on the futon. Beyond the dark yellow of heaven and earth, I shall be the master of the religion. Pangu gave birth to Taiji, and the two yin and yang and four images follow. One way passed on to three friends, and the two religions were divided into Chan and Jie. The leaders of the Xuanmen, one breath transformed into the Three Pure Ones

The most mighty of the Known have used the others, and themselves, to create a final sanctuary against that which cannot be understood. The only working defense against the ever-changing is what it cannot be. Something static. The stability of existence. * * * Referred to by the Known as [All], and Firstborn of the [First Foul], Leon Oaken. 'I have Integrated... but what is my Rank? My Skills? The [Status] doesn't even display my Stats...' The boy who was meant to command reality, was revoked of this right. Instead he was forced to wield the idea before existence. 'What is [Null]?' ============================= In a world bound by illusions, he seeks the truth. Among those who inherit might, he forges his own path. And in an existence steeped in stagnation and rot, he dares to bring change. Even if it means becoming what should not be. ============================= *WSA 2025 ENTRY* Hi! I recommend reading until chapter 15. Leon did not reincarnate, transmigrate, or regress. The story follows him since his birth, so I have to establish his character first. And that will take a few chapters, so, the side characters will have more screentime at the beginning.

One would say that transmigrating to a book sound like a fantasy, however to Aera, it became a nightmare when she woke up in an unknown world even when she hasn't died yet. With an unexpected turnout, her life was hanging by a thin thread. Aera was presented with an option-either she goes back to her world with her memory erased or enter the other world, and comes back with the memory intact to have her revenge. Never did she expect of choosing the worst villain of all. A character in a book where she killed the Empress and her unborn child. Worst, the male lead was reborn time after time with his memory intact. His grudge still hung on torturing the villainess. Even more worst, the ML was a split image of her long-time crush. ----- "Do you hate me that much?" As soon as the question was raised, a table lamp flew past through the said person, smashing against the wall behind him. "More than enough to kill you right now." The female figure responded with nothing but hatred and disgust in her tone. Her jewel eyes that glow under the dark never left her gaze on the other male person who was sitting on her opposite. ----- The male lead wasn't the only one Aera had to put a guard on but even other characters when one after the other began to make an appearance.

I'll be happy to receive either a critics or feedback or comments...^-^ Please do give it a read till chapter 3 or above to get the clear picture.

"Devil's Heart," a tragic romance novel that caught my [Eian Roger] attention, after a long time. If you ask what's so great about it, the only answer I can give is—the green-eyed guy, Eron De Vilan, my villain. I loved that guy so much I could call myself crazy.

I will rewrite the story for my villain. No matter what happens… Eron De Vilan will have his happy ending.

Guys here is my pitch..... In the sprawling world of fantasy, we’ve often been treated to tales of heroes reincarnated with divine blessings, legendary powers, or cheat-like abilities, thrust into magical lands as shining saviors—or chaotic terrors. But what happens when the very concept of reincarnation becomes a curse? When the divine boon is a big fat joke, and the "cheat system" doesn’t quite… cheat? Enter John, the unluckiest reincarnate. Blessed by a god and thrust into a fantasy world, he dreams of glory, power, and adventure—only to wake up as a normal, utterly powerless bird. Not a mythical phoenix, not an ancient thunder eagle. Just… a bird. To make matters worse, this world is no ordinary realm. It's a land scarred by the devastating legacies of past isekai’d heroes and villains, whose reckless exploits piled skeletons into mountains and turned their cheats into harbingers of chaos. Fed up with these unruly intruders, the ancients of the realm banded together to create a world-shaking seal: all reincarnated souls are trapped in the bodies of harmless animals, confined to isolated sanctuaries that function more like fantasy zoos. Here’s the twist: this isn’t mercy. It’s a resource grab. The powerful beast tamers of this realm have turned these reincarnated souls into exotic pets, prized for their cheat-like potential. John finds himself at the bottom of the food chain in every sense. His cheat doesn’t work. His human form is gone. And his world is filled with predatory cultivators who see him as either a snack or a tool. But John isn’t one to give up so easily. What starts as despair quickly turns into cunning survival. With wings and wit as his only tools, John must navigate layers of misfortune, dodge fate’s sharp talons, and cheat his way through a world determined to keep him grounded. Get ready to join John on a wildly unconventional journey—one where reincarnation isn’t a ticket to greatness, but a death sentence he’s determined to rewrite. His story is one of humor, wit, and persistence, as he explores a world where he is the joke and his survival is the punchline. Main tags: reincarnation/isekai, beast taming cultivation system, comedy, action, adventure. Of course No-harem!

The world we knew was gone, the people we loved, Our family and our friends whom we've known all our lives, all turned into monsters.

My Name is Diana Sinclair, and this is the story of how the world ended and how I died in the process. Or so I thought.

"I’ll accept it. But only if you promise me two things. First, find the people who killed my parents and destroyed my village. Second, protect the woman who broke my heart."

Now, with terrifying powers and a system guiding his path, Isaac will carve his name into history. Those who mocked him will cower. Those who abandoned him will beg for mercy. The weak are prey. The strong rule. And Isaac? He’s done being just a farmer.

Can I reclaim the heroism they instilled in me, or am I destined to become the villain that grew within me? __________ This novel might have slower or faster pacing in some places.
