In her previous life, Jiang Yan's mother was murdered by her stepfather under the guise of celebrating their wedding anniversary with a trip abroad, and Jiang Yan herself, holding a huge inheritance, was locked by him in the basement of a villa and had one of her hands mangled. As natural disasters became more frequent and the apocalypse descended, the stepfather's family, hiding in the villa waiting for the apocalypse to pass, ultimately set their sights on Jiang Yan... With the opening of her eyes, Jiang Yan was reborn three months before the apocalypse. After activating her portable Space and successfully taking her revenge, she, now in possession of a massive amount of funds, started a global shopping spree: yachts, helicopters, off-road RVs, weapons, amphibious boats, necessities for clothing, food, shelter, and transport; everything from five-star delicacies to tasty street food hidden in remote corners... she bought and hoarded them all, bringing everything into her Space! Seeing that there was only one month left, Jiang Yan began a cramming-style learning binge: shooting! Flying planes! Driving boats! Hand-to-hand combat! Agricultural Planting! She even learned how to operate an excavator from the Red Xiang Technical School! In July, a double typhoon that caused seawater backflow starting from Japan marked the beginning of the apocalypse. A super high temperature wave followed right after, sweeping across the globe, along with torrential rains, earthquakes, pest infestations, extreme cold, nuclear contamination, mutation of animals and plants... one natural calamity after another ensued! While others fought over a packet of instant noodles or half a bottle of water, Jiang Yan was leisurely planting vegetables, raising fish, sitting comfortably in her safe house with air conditioning on, and enjoying her hot pot meal~ PS.

'Divinity Online'. The new breakthrough in the Full-Immersion Virtual Reality technology. After decades of work, Divinity Corp had achieved the impossible. Creating a massive video game world that people can enter and live in as if it were Earth. Their goal was clear, to create a world other than Earth that we can call home. A place where the laws of reality vanish, and the true ceiling of power shifts completely. Naturally, the shockwave Divinity Online created across the entire globe was unlike anything else. Every single person has heard of it, even those who have had no interest in video games before. Giant corporations and even governments immediately rushed to start planning to invest in this new world and just like that, billions of people had their eyes on one single date: the 19th of July. *** Arthur, like everyone else, had heard of the game and was as excited as everyone else to try it, if not even more. With how much he grew bored of his life on earth, this fantasy world was like the divine call he had been searching for. However, there was a very small problem. He had no money to buy the machine required to access Divinity Online. His wretched life had turned him into a broke teenager with no parents, and no relatives. But, by some kind of luck, he got his hands on one of those machines. Not knowing what was awaiting him in that world, Arthur was simply seeking one thing... A new opportunity in life and to find a purpose he could work for when he had none so far. [Welcome to 'Divinity Online'.] [Assimilation Started...]

I watched him as he stood there, leaning on the bridge's railing and eating ice cream. The breeze wasn't disturbing his hair today because he had parked it all backwards, he looked cute, I smiled drawing in some breath, satisfied with how today was going. "What?" I heard him ask taking me off my thoughts. "Huh?" "You were smiling." "Oh. I was...." "Can I kiss you?" He asked looking at my lips. "Here?" I asked now, my heart beating hard against my chest, our first kiss could happen now. "Yeah?" He nodded, I could see his Adam's apple go up and down as he swallowed, I bit my lips, nervously. I smiled approvingly, almost getting up from the bench where I sat. "No sit." He said coming closer to sit next to me. The bench was quite small so we were so close to each other. He leaned in and I could smell him more the closer he got to my face. His lips were now inches away from mine and the moment they touched I closed my eyes, I didn't know why but I did. He didn't put his tongue in my mouth, it was as simple as it could get, just a warm kiss and I as glad he didn't. When he lips left mine, I opened my eyes licking my lips. He was smiling, I hadn't yet told him how much I loved his smile. "You lied." I told him. "About what?" He stopped smiling. "You said you were a bad kisser." He laughed now with his teeth showing, those beautiful set. Read more... #genka3na

Decades ago, the entire population vanished, leaving only eerie remnants of their lives behind. Old cassette tapes, found in the crumbling town hall, hold the final confessions of the residents—and the truth about the entity that doomed them.

Es gibt Begegnungen, die mehr sind als bloßer Zufall. Sie entstehen im richtigen Moment, wie eine Brise, die Wellen auf stilles Wasser zeichnet – sanft, kaum merklich, und doch kraftvoll genug, um etwas in Bewegung zu setzen, das zuvor unbeweglich schien. Solche Momente kommen ohne Vorwarnung, und wir erkennen ihre Bedeutung oft erst in der Rückschau. Der Sommerabend im Juli 2012 war einer dieser Momente. Danny und Jenny kannten sich nicht. Sie lebten unterschiedliche Leben, geprägt von Gewohnheiten, Beziehungen und den kleinen und großen Unsicherheiten, die sie mit sich trugen. Doch an diesem Abend, aus einer Mischung aus Langeweile und unbewusster Sehnsucht, fanden sie sich beide auf derselben Chatplattform wieder. Es war ein Ort, an dem Menschen kamen und gingen, wo Worte oft flüchtig waren und die meisten Gespräche sich im Rauschen des Vergessens verloren. Aber nicht dieses. Was mit einer beiläufigen Begrüßung begann, entwickelte sich schnell zu einem Austausch, der anders war. Ihre Worte hatten ein Gewicht, das über den Moment hinausreichte. Sie sprachen über Musik, Hobbys, die Dinge, die sie gern taten, und die, die sie bereuten. Mit jedem Satz öffnete sich ein kleines Fenster in ihre Welt, und bald schien es, als hätten sie einen vertrauten Rhythmus gefunden, der niemand anderem gehörte. Die Distanz zwischen ihnen – geografisch, emotional, in ihren Lebensumständen – hätte eine Barriere sein können. Doch an jenem Abend spielte sie keine Rolle. Ihre Gespräche hatten eine Leichtigkeit, die nur entsteht, wenn zwei Menschen einander ohne Masken begegnen. Und obwohl sie es noch nicht wussten, begann in diesen Stunden etwas, das beide für immer verändern sollte. Denn manchmal ist es nicht das Offensichtliche, das uns verbindet, sondern das, was wir zwischen den Zeilen lesen. Danny und Jenny waren zwei Menschen, die sich zur richtigen Zeit begegneten, auch wenn ihre Leben alles andere als einfach waren. Sie fanden im anderen einen Hauch von Trost, ein Stück Verstehen, das sie nirgendwo sonst gefühlt hatten. Was keiner von ihnen ahnte: Diese Begegnung war der Anfang einer Reise, die ihre Herzen und Lebenswege berühren würde. Eine Geschichte, die nicht durch ihre Länge, sondern durch die Tiefe ihrer Momente definiert werden sollte. Ein Sommerabend, der für immer nachhallte.

Follow the story of Jake and his family as he battles poison, enemies, and more. Jake was a man who was once the peak of all. Though he gave that all away to save everyone. In the end, 600 years later, he was given the body of a character he created for his book. The way he got that you may ask? A friend who was a legendary beast came forth and gave their live energy and made him, his brother, and his younger sister who was a miscarry in the old world? To give them the bodies of the characters from his novel? He follows that characters journey until he is healed of his poison. From there he ventures forth on his own path, not letting anyone stand in his way as he wants to live his life for once. He was once the living Embodiment of power, though he hates it. In his new life he was poisoned and his family takes him to get healed when they are found by people in the glacier. From there on he plans on living his own life instead of following a laid-out path of his book, the part where he was poisoned, and living his own life for one instead of saving people and working towards a single goal like he did as Jake the Survivor. Going anywhere from saving Slaves, stopping corrupt nobles, going to his own school, time traveling. The gods may try to stop him though they will fail as he himself, even if he does not find out about it, is someone of unknown power. I need some help. I want some ground rules for when I finish this. The main point is, do Androgyne's or futa to be precise, exist when the story start, or are they wishes in creating chaos? I will be releasing chapter 53 and after on July 1st like last time, but it will come out more often, hopefully. It will stop at chapter 200 most likely. The chapters after that will come after a break. I was originally writing from April during school and the summer. But my new school doesn’t allow me to use my personal Gmail. So it will be slower. All I will be doing is changing some key factors that I decided make it hard to understand and to help with some things happening. Another thing, this will be a prequel in a sense for a future book. That will be about Jake as well, but when he has more of a sense of what and who he is. It will also bear FMM as it is the same series but with a short thing after it. Please Note chapters 78-94 include Slavery and a reference to R@pe. I do not SUPPORT those in any way at all, justice is served to the culprit in less than fifty chapters though. And all parties involved receive punishment at some point with-in this book. But slavery will be talked about throughout most of the book so please be aware. An as I said I do not PROMOTE or SUPPORT anything that goes against Human Rights and other peoples own Safety, Privacy, and Dignity. If this isn't comfortable with you then don't read, though the only mention of R@pe so far is with-in Chapters 78-88. There might be more, but they will be slight references instead. This is just a Warning. It is also to help show what is not accepted, mainly the speech in chapter 88, and that entire arc. If you feel this goes beyond certain things or anything else let me know so I can remove it. There are other stuff like this throughout the book that Jake fights against. That is the main “Idea” of this book, fighting for what’s right.

[MATURE CONTENT] Uncle Heath gave me a look that said that he knows what I'm doing and that he finds me petty and a scheming sly fox. He suggested countless times that I changed my codename from The Countess to Fox or Nine-tailed Fox, because he says it suits me better, or a Serpent, but I don't care. I am literally a Countess after all. He sighed. "Okay, Countess, you won. But if you get yourself killed on this, the same way your parents and their friends later on did, don't come back to haunt me as a ghost. I've been trying to protect you, as I promised I would as your Godfather, but you are a stubborn lil thing who kept insisting on this. You're 27 now, you better not die younger than you mom did." "Wait," Harriet gasped, "the mission you want," "It's the one my parents were working on when they died. Probably the reason why they died and related to their killers," sigh. "It's what kept me working all of those years, the hope on getting my hands on this mission, and uncover what actually happened in July 9th of 1999." I hate number 9, it signifies unluck to me, while 7 is my lucky number. Call me superstitious if you want, I feel like it's an actual thing. "All the documents on their death are here, it's kept secret together with the archived mission they were working in." "Ah, Selene," she said softly, coming closer, full of compassion but not touching me, as her hands are dirty with uncle Heath's cock. Ew, ew. "It's okay, it's been 24 years now," sigh. "Which makes me want to solve it even more," then I turned my eyes to uncle Heath, who was now up, standing at 1.97m, opening his safe that's hidden behind the big painting of a scenery found in Sicily, Italy, which Harriet painted. Picking a thick file in a leather case, he held it under his left arms and locked the safe again, covering it with the painting. I broke into it once, but I was unable to crack the code of the safe. I always knew he hid this file in there, "Be careful, for the love of God, Selene." "I will, I promise!" Narrowing his eyes, he raised his right pinky finger and I cringed in disgust. "Wash your hands first, ew." Rolling his eyes, we quickly went to the bathroom at the back of his office and then came back, hands clean, file still under his arm. "There you go, now, pinky it up, I know better than believe your shallow spoken words by now, I know how scheming you are." Grinning like a wolf who had been caught in sheep's clothing, I raised my pinky finger and intertwined with his. "I promise I'll be careful." Sigh, "I can't believe I'm giving you this. The last two times I gave these damned files to someone, they died. You batter change that statistics to 2:1 instead of 3:0, Selene. Do you understand me?" I grabbed the files, but he kept his hold on it, "I understand," with all my strength, I tried tugging it to me and out of his grip, and after a lil struggle, he let go.

*** Contain depiction of extreme cruelty and Smut elements that shouldn't happen or be related to the real world.*** Supposedly, I am the epitome of virtue. My parents were incredibly proud of me; my husband even boasted about how perfect I was as a wife. My offspring raised my social standing. After my death, God appeared to me. According to the Creator, "The vessel of your soul was overflowing with good karma." His bold statement read, "You can be anything." Considering that all I ever desired was to be a man, why did I mutate into an untamed animal? To top it all off, I am not even a man. I am an entity that possesses both organs.  Very well. If that were the only problem, I could understand. Why even bother with so much good karma when I have to put in so much effort to rise in the strength hierarchy, and half the population is out to get me? Witness Hilda's ascent from humble beginnings as a hyena to her rightful place as ruler of a godless world as she ascends the steps littered with the dead bodies of her friends and foes. ********** Genre: Kingdom building+ Gore+ Smut. *Chapter size: 2000+ ** Schedule: 1 chapter/day (July) ***Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/huaichi

[Winner in WPC July 2023 Contest!] [Slight Smut - Fast Paced - System] *** Synopsis: It all started as another VRMMORPG, Emberhorn, was released out to the world. With it, came all sorts of adventures such as leveling up your stats, killing monsters as you venture through dungeons, slaying dragons, getting noble ranks, and in other words, living in it. That’s exactly what Adrenoid did. He wasted the rest of his years strapped to the headset as the addict for adventure that he was, doing nothing but playing and coursing through this virtual world’s mysteries and secrets. Thus, Adrenoid had long gone to become a lifeless shut-in without a job, friends, and a girlfriend. This game was the only thing that supported him through these tough times. What he lacked in the real world, he tried to change in the virtual one to the point he’d do anything to have more privilege than the others, including the possibility of cheating. Thus, after dozens of retries and errors, he had finally done it. He had hacked the game’s system which led to its downfall. [Shut-Down Notice: 1 Hour(s) Left.] [Shut-Down Notice: 30 Minutes Left.] [Goodbye!] Adrenoid’s stream of tears was unstoppable as the game he had invested years in to become one of the strongest had met its end. “Huh?” Adrenoid gazed in surprise as his tears pixelated into the air. [Welcome, Player 1!] [Your arrival has been awaited for a long time.] [The Emberhorn will stretch its authority over Planet-B612, also known as Earth, gradually over time.] Adrenoid couldn’t help but gaze slack-jawed at the holographic pop-ups one after another. Especially the editable stats. --Notice-- The Story's beginning will be based on the game, and so will the MC's villain trope also start later on--the world is set on Earth but I'll be making fictional countries, cities, towns, etc.
