First Person Picaresque

"Ryan Adam, an ordinary young man struggling with unemployment and frustration, never imagined that his worst fears would come true in the most bizarre way… After a strange night, he wakes up inside his unfinished novel—not as the protagonist, but as a mere side character in a poor province doomed to destruction! Now, as just an 'extra' in a world he created, he must decide: will he follow the script written for him, or will he break the rules and change his fate—and the fate of the entire province?"

Just something I made to keep track of some of my favourite essences & powers from fics. {with personal twists} *Image not mine* just felt fitting so added it, message before u complain or report.

Samantha never expected to find magic in her hometown, let alone in a dimly lit bar on a rainy Tuesday night. Yet here she was, perched on a barstool at the Black Swan, her world about to tilt on its axis. The air thrummed with an otherworldly energy she couldn't quite place. Ethereal dancers moved like smoke across the floor, their bodies fluid and mesmerizing. As Samantha nursed her drink, she felt the weight of curious stares prickling her skin. That's when she saw him. Marcus. A name she didn't know yet, but one that would soon be etched into her very soul. Their eyes locked across the crowded room, and Samantha's breath caught in her throat. He moved with predatory grace, all lean muscle and barely restrained power. Their first interaction was as intoxicating as it was bewildering. One moment, he was her gallant protector, rescuing her from an overly aggressive drunk. The next, his eyes hardened to chips of ice as he snarled, "Stupid girl," before melting into the shadows. Samantha's mind reeled, but her body hummed with an excitement she couldn't explain. Little did she know, this encounter was merely the first step into a world beyond her wildest fantasies – a realm where vampires ruled the night and pain blurred exquisitely with pleasure. As she delved deeper into this hidden society, Samantha found herself drawn to the intoxicating blend of power, submission, and supernatural allure. The crack of a whip, the whisper of leather, the exquisite sting of fangs – each sensation pushed her boundaries and ignited desires she never knew existed. But with every ecstatic high came the sobering reality of danger. Vampire politics were as deadly as they were intricate, and Samantha soon realized she was a pawn in a game where the stakes were life, death, and eternal servitude. As she left the Black Swan that night, Samantha couldn't shake the feeling that she stood on the precipice of something life-changing. She had no idea how right she was, or how deeply she would fall into a passionate, dangerous dance with forces beyond her imagination. The real question was: in this world where pleasure and peril intertwined so intimately, would she emerge empowered... or lose herself completely?

Noah was a handsome commoner and a painter that everybody would dream of. The thing he hated the most was the showy, arrogant, rude millionaires who always suppressed the poor or commoners like him. But what would happen if one of the billionaires he hated started to love him? What if they are ready to lose it all over him?

Battling an unusual form of personality dissociation, Motan admits to feeling the weight of immense pressure bearing down on him. Amidst this turmoil, he finds solace in a virtual escape called "The Realm of Innocence," a game that has become his sanctuary from stress. In the realm where ambiguity reigns, Motan's behavior is unpredictable and impetuous, making him the instigator and mastermind behind myriad events that spiral out of control. Yet, within the sphere of virtue, his resilience and courage shine through, earning him the admiration of many who see him as the epitome of a righteous knight and a fair judge. When dwelling in the balance of absolute neutrality, he adopts a demeanor of modesty and lethargy, mirroring the ordinary essence of every soul. Conversely, in the domain of chaotic evil, he transforms into a figure of madness and cruelty, embodying the very essence of a demon and deceiver, showing kindness only to himself. "Tan Mo is the most extraordinary Bard I have ever encountered, though he is... perplexing, to say the least," comments Countess Leisha, reflecting on his complex nature. "Mor is a man of distinguished integrity! Having met him just once, I am convinced that he is someone one can confidently turn their back to," declares Gwen, the leader of the Rose Rot, acknowledging his noble character. "If you're in search of the ideal neighbor, look no further than Hei Fan," recommends Alchemist Luna, suggesting his suitability for companionship. Yet, amidst these varied testimonies, a warning resonates, "Don't talk about that man!" indicating a mysterious, perhaps darker aspect of his persona that remains unexplored.

Claireriss Lopez never imagined that a single encounter could change everything. She was just an ordinary girl, living her campus life, until he appeared—someone who made her thoughts run wild, someone who captured her attention so effortlessly, someone who made her heart race with just a fleeting moment. Her First Love Again? Is it the same person or someone new? Let the love unfold—unexpected, uncertain, yet undeniably real.

By a twist of fate, Wēn Yǐfán found herself sharing an apartment with Sāng Yán, a high school classmate who had previously rejected her. The two lived together like strangers under the same roof, maintaining a respectful distance. This peaceful routine came to an abrupt end one evening when Wēn Yǐfán learned from Sāng Yán that she had been sleepwalking recently. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she hesitated before asking, “So, was last night the first time you saw me sleepwalk?” Sāng Yán casually replied, “Actually, there was another time.” Wēn Yǐfán fell silent for a couple of seconds, then tentatively asked, “What did I… do?” “You suddenly ran out and hugged me.” “?” Sāng Yán raised an eyebrow, adding nonchalantly, “And you even kissed me.” (Adapted As A Drama Go watch it Name ..

As the title says, the story of the first mage who created necromancy, and other magics, during his long life.

The protagonist of the novel faced a great deal of misfortune right from birth. The mother once wanted to strangle the protagonist, and the grandmother also insulted the protagonist, calling him/her a freak and a jinx. Fortunately, the maternal grandmother adopted the protagonist, and the protagonist spent an innocent childhood by her side. The protagonist discovered that he/she was different from ordinary people. He/she was an intersex person, whose gender was difficult to distinguish, with one half being feminine and the other half masculine. The protagonist could see ghosts and inherited the mantle of his/her semi-immortal maternal grandmother. The protagonist realized that he/she was a girl but was different from ordinary girls. In terms of emotions, the protagonist has liked the male lead since childhood. However, if he/she undergoes surgery to become a real woman, his/her special abilities will be destroyed, which puts the protagonist in a dilemma. In addition to the supernatural elements, the story also includes the development of the emotional storyline. The plot is full of ups and downs and is novel. The foreshadowing is well-placed and the plot points are interlinked. Some readers commented that they felt a strong sense of immersion, and some were even moved to tears.

A parody of romcom itself...with a blend of unique genres...Ion wanna give spoilers though. !! But maybe something like last of us meets deadpool

The title pretty much says it all. This is the journal of Jane Brown. Each journal entry may be very short or very long. Entries may be close together or far apart. It depends on when and if Jane decides to or remembers to update her journal. If ever. Just like most of the non-diary or journal writer keepers out there - or uninspired authors. Yep. Warning: VERY SLOOOW updates. This is a story written on a whim. Let's see how long the inspiration will last for. This style of writing is somewhat experimental. Disclaimer: This is a work of FICTION and is not based on any one person. Any portrayal of real people or real events (excluding some major world events) is entirely accidental and coincidental. It is in not in any way, shape of form meant to be a commentary on anyone or anything, even less on current issues in society. This is literally meant to be boring (hence the ordinary title) without being too boring. It is just about the average slow paced life and interests of an average person.
