Everyone has friends in their lives, right? They can be anyone—good friends, bad friends, or even... friends with benefits. Ahem! Anyway, the point is, everyone has friends. And so did I. I was friends with author of web novel. Yeah, was. A small argument over how the main character should act in novel of [World’s Greatest Hero] led to a fight with my friend, the author. Still frustrated, I stormed out of his house... and that’s when Truck-kun hit me. But that wasn’t the worst part. The worst part? I woke up in a different body—the body of a side character in my friend’s novel. A character who is supposed to die in the prologue. I was Doomed from the start! [Your body is dying!] [You don’t have much time left.] [The creator of this world is mocking you.] F#ck you, Author. F#ck this novel.

I’m not a gamer. In fact, I barely touched games—never had the time or interest. I’m a 23-year-old college dropout, part-time construction worker, and full-time avoider of adult responsibilities. That is, until my little sister nagged me into trying a romance simulation game called Echoes of the Crimson Throne. I played it. Liked it more than I expected. I even completed it. And the next thing I knew… I woke up inside the game. Not as the hero. Not even as a love interest. I was now the personal attendant of Alice Draken—the villainess, the Prince’s fiancée, and the iron-fisted Ruler of the North. A woman whose downfall was guaranteed... unless I do something about it. --- discord link:-https://discord.gg/M3hPczEUjf

“I didn’t mean to summon you… but hey, you’ll do.” Kira wasn’t chosen. He wasn’t special. He was just the result of a divine roulette spun by a bored god — a god too lazy to fight for influence like the others, but rich enough in divine energy to mess around. Kira? A timid 22-year-old shut-in with no job, no passion, and zero emotional volatility. And yet… something about him caught the god’s eye. Or maybe the god just couldn’t be bothered to spin again. Now thrown into the world of Numen, Kira is given a one-of-a-kind system, total freedom, and only one instruction: “Go do whatever. I’ll be watching.” There is no need to slay demon lords or to protect kingdoms — just a quiet guy and a lazy god ready to break the world's balance and make something new, together. Calm. Overpowered. Free. Let the gamble begin.

Mia Izabelle never asked for a second chance—especially not in the body of a villainess. At thirty, Mia awakens in the world of a tragic novel, inhabiting the body of the infamous younger daughter of a powerful tycoon family. Known for her cruelty and arrogance, the original "Mia" was loathed by all—her four older brothers, her ex-fiancé, and the very world that once revolved around her. With one catastrophic mistake looming that could ruin her family's name forever, the new Mia is determined to right the wrongs and change her fate. But redemption doesn’t come easy. Haunted by the original Mia’s past, Mia faces hatred, suspicion, and betrayal from those who should have loved her most. Her domineering CEO first brother, Martin, despises her for firing the woman he once loved. Matteo, the cold and brilliant neurosurgeon, secretly poisons her, believing she caused the death of his girlfriend. Mikael, the unforgiving ex-soldier turned police officer, throws her into jail on false charges. And Mike—her beloved twin—turns away from her in favor of Lilianna, the "real" daughter who reappears like a vision of grace and perfection. As Mia endures poverty, isolation, and heartbreak, even the men who once held pieces of her heart betray her: -An ex-fiancé who loathe her down to the core. -A childhood friend whose love curdled into resentment. -A neighbor brother and secret crush who left her for his white moonlight. -And the male lead who woos her with sweet lies while plotting with Lilianna behind her back. When she is falsely accused of attempting to harm Lilianna and is nearly sent to prison, her family seals her fate—disowning her and abandoning her to suffer alone. Sick, weak, and slowly dying from poison, Mia collapses in a cold, forgotten room, whispering a prayer no one hears. Until it’s too late. Only when her body begins to fail do the brothers and former lovers uncover the truth. The lies. The betrayals. The manipulations. And their guilt becomes a sentence none of them can escape. But can a heart still learn to beat again after it’s been shattered? Lemon Mulberry is a powerful tale of second chances, unbearable loss, and the fragile hope that lingers even in the darkest moments. For readers who crave redemption arcs that sting, betrayals that scar, and heroines who burn before they bloom—this story will stay with you long after the final page.

Joshua has no idea what just happened. One second, his papa kissed him goodnight... and the next, he woke up in a glowing blue space, staring at a talking cat in a necktie. “You must rescue your papa,” the cat said seriously. Turns out, Joshua’s "silly" papa is in danger across multiple worlds—and only Joshua can save him! Determined, Joshua clenches his tiny fists and raises his chubby arms high: the mission to rescue papa begins! But Joshua didn’t expect bonus prizes along the way... “Why are you following me?” Joshua frowns at the red snake wrapped around his leg. In the blink of an eye, the snake turns into a boy a head taller than Joshua, throws his arms around him, and grins: “Come to the underworld with me! We have cake!” Joshua won’t be tricked so easily... but maybe he can eat the cake first then leave. That’s fair, right? . . . Alternate Title: “From an Egg to a Hero – I Beat Up All the Baddies to Protect My Poor Papa!” Note: Papa has no love interest. No weird pairings. Just one overprotective papa who adores his son—and a whole world that does too. This is a sweet, healing story filled with love and adventure.

Low raspy voice chuckled in Akira's mind, "You are no match for me, Akira. Your resistance is futile." "It's you again," Akira spat, frustration simmering. "Who are you, really?"

Taken from the slums to the gates of the Cherry Spring sect, Kira enters a world where strength is everything and the weak are left behind. She has no background, no family name, and no allies—only a burning desire to never be powerless again. Among icy mountains and towering libraries, she finds friendship, rivalry, and something she never expected: warmth. But the path to immortality is steep and paved in blood. And even the brightest light can cast a long, dangerous shadow. As Kira grows stronger, so too do the doubts in her heart—and the darkness waiting within.

In the depths of a forgotten cavern, a nameless skeleton awakens—reborn through dark magic and granted a soul. Marked by the gods to compete in the deadly King’s Race, he must rise from bones and ash, build an army of the undead, and carve out a city of the dead: Nécropolis. But with each soul claimed and each enemy defeated, the line between monster and monarch begins to blur.

But as they journey through lands where magic bleeds from the very air, dodging assassins, unraveling centuries-old conspiracies, and bickering over everything from breakfast to battle tactics, Kira discovers that someone has been deliberately severing the crystal network for generations. Someone who knows her real identity. Someone who's been watching her every move. In a world where trust is a luxury neither can afford and their magical bond grows stronger with each passing day, Kira and Darian must decide: save the realm together, or watch it crumble as they tear each other apart. *Because sometimes the greatest magic is learning to trust your heart—even when it belongs to your enemy.*

Luke's Point of View of meeting Kira. We'll begin before he saves her.

Tertha was never meant to exist. A world beyond the reach of Celestials, wrapped in chaos, carved by colossal forces. Ten continents stretch endlessly, cloaked in ancient forests, shifting labyrinths, and mountains that scratch the heavens. Yet even the mightiest races have only scratched the surface of its secrets. Eight dominant races claim the land. The wise Antropho, ever-hungry for knowledge. The Everin, guardians of the ancient wilds. The Gigant, rulers of the mountain spires. The Diablo, bringers of ruin. The Gromar, masters of craft. The Gravon, born hunters. The Furnox, wielders of ancient combat rites. And the Phantorune... whispers from the void. On Tertha, strength is law. Fighters crush with raw power. Mages command the arcane. Neva Warriors burn with lethal aura. And Element Benders? They bend the world itself. Then came the ambition. The greed. The hunger for absolute dominion. From the depths of darkness, the Phantorune forged a weapon of forbidden origin— A blade that cuts not just flesh... but the soul. They call it.. The Soul Sword. ---

"From a botanical perspective, your mom is undeniably a total slut." Jialong shrugged and said nonchalantly. I brought the lemon tea to my lips and took a sip without any expression. If you think my next move was to throw the entire cup of lemon tea in Jialong’s face, you’d be wrong. Because what Jialong said was the unvarnished truth—pure and without a hint of exaggeration. No matter which academic discipline you examine it from, my mother, Meng Xi, 36 years old, is a woman steeped in debauchery to her very core. As Da Jun, who enjoys simultaneously taking her from behind while forcing her to sing "Conquer," once said, "Your mom’s brazenness is downright otherworldly."

Have you ever wondered what came before the beginning—or what lies beyond the end? Existence has risen and crumbled, over and over, trapped in an eternal cycle. A loop repeating itself through countless eternities. But if all is truly endless… where did it start will i ever truly know what the end is ?

Apa jadinya kalau Raja Iblis baru malah minta maaf duluan sebelum menakut-nakuti manusia? Kenalin, Mammon—calon Raja Iblis yang lebih mirip pegawai administrasi kantor kelurahan neraka. Alih-alih menyiksa jiwa-jiwa tersesat, dia lebih suka ngitung jumlah setan aktif di Excel dan bikin laporan tahunan. Tapi sayang seribu sayang, takdir berkata lain. Sebuah ramalan kuno (yang kayaknya diketik sambil ngantuk) tiba-tiba menunjuk Mammon sebagai Raja Iblis selanjutnya. Tapi sebelum duduk di singgasana neraka, dia harus lulus ujian konyol: bikin satu manusia jatuh cinta padanya dalam 100 hari—dan dia harus tahu kalau Mammon itu iblis! Kalau gagal? Dilempar ke Jurang Kegelapan, tempat paling serem yang bahkan iblis-iblis aja pake Google Maps buat cari jalan pulang. Berbekal sebuah buku panduan absurd berjudul “Merayu Manusia untuk Iblis Pemula”, yang ditulis kira-kira 1000 tahun sebelum manusia kenal deodoran, Mammon pun turun ke bumi. Untung dia gak sendiri—dia ditemani Pip, asisten sekaligus kucing sarkastik yang hobi ngatain bosnya sendiri. Tiap kali Mammon gagal (dan dia selalu gagal), Pip tepuk tangan dengan sinis, kadang sambil rekam buat konten TikTok neraka. Tiap hari Mammon nyoba teknik-teknik gombal zaman batu: ngasih bunga plastik, ngajak dinner di kuburan, atau baca puisi sambil terbang terbalik. Hasilnya? Dihina, ditampar, disiram, bahkan pernah dikira pengamen. Sampai akhirnya, di pertengahan deadline, Mammon ketemu Lara—barista cantik, ceria, dan punya tawa yang bikin iblis lupa neraka. Mammon yakin: ini dia target terakhirku! Tapi Lara bukan cewek biasa. Dia terlalu pintar buat jatuh cinta sama gombalan basi dari buku kuno, dan terlalu baik buat langsung kabur. Jadilah Mammon makin sering malu-maluin diri sendiri, makin banyak moment cringey, dan makin sering diceramahi Pip soal "how NOT to flirt 101." Masalah makin runyam ketika musuh lama Mammon, Astaroth, ngirim Vepar—iblis ganteng, cool, dan punya suara kayak penyanyi K-pop—buat rebut hati Lara. Sekarang Mammon harus bertarung demi cinta... dengan buku tua, kucing sarkas, dan tekad yang hampir nyerah tiap Senin. "Panduan Merayu Manusia untuk Iblis Pemula" adalah novel komedi romantis paling gila sedunia: penuh kekonyolan, kegagalan, dan sedikit harapan, soal bagaimana cinta bisa muncul bahkan di tengah-tengah misi neraka yang absurd. Siap-siap ketawa, greget, dan berkata: “APAAN SIH NIH CERITA… TAPI GUE SUKA!”

Still, he knows he has both the responsibility and say towards her and the pregnancy she claimed to be his. Though Kira has no interest in Tesah's money, her lack of prospects gives her little choice but to get loan from the bank to repair the only inheritance she got from her mum. But her actions of avoiding him, makes him want her even more, and if Kira lets down her guard, she just might break the wall her heart had built so strong in a long time.
