"Players? NPCs?" What happens when a game stops being a game? Lionel never imagined that playing a VR game would become the most dangerous decision of his life. On his third login, he was presented with a choice he couldn’t refuse: [Do you want to recreate your character?] [YES OR YES] What started as a routine adventure spiraled into a waking nightmare. Trapped in the game world, Lionel found himself transformed into a vampire—not just any vampire, but a crippled, powerless blood slave, nothing more than prey in a brutal world designed for hunters. Survival seemed impossible. But Lionel wasn’t like the others. Somewhere between player and NPC, he became an anomaly—a glitch in the system. His existence defied the rules of the game, making him something entirely unique. When all hope seemed lost, Lionel awakened a hidden, game-breaking ability: SSS-ranked Blood Affinity—a power so rare it had only been seen twice in recorded history. Armed with the Crimson Bloodline, a legacy of forbidden and mysterious abilities, Lionel begins to rewrite his fate, discovering he can bend the very rules of the world around him. But his newfound power doesn’t come without cost. Now, Lionel is caught in a deadly balance between two worlds, hunted by players and NPCs alike. In this game-turned-reality, survival isn’t enough. He has to grow stronger and find his right place.

Valhalla is a game company renowned for its groundbreaking VRMMORPGs—immersive worlds that captivate and enchant anyone daring enough to step into them. Yet, unbeknownst to the public, every one of Valhalla's game worlds is real. The NPCs are living, breathing beings; the worlds, monsters, and people are not mere simulations but fully functional and genuine. Faced with a dwindling number of viable worlds, Valhalla embarks on an ambitious mission: the creation of a brand-new world designed specifically for their players. To achieve this, they send three men—an unlikely team consisting of a cook, an artist, and a civil engineer—tasked with cultivating a realm teeming with life, challenges, and boundless potential. Their objective? Make this new world a place worth living in. Magic, dragons, empires—nothing is off the table. But first, they have to survive.

"All I need is a second chance..." "A second chance to make things right." Watching the world in front of him crumble before his very eyes, Valyr felt immense regret. He and his comrades made sure to prepare for every possible mishap, for every possible thing that could've gone wrong... yet in the end, their side still lost. Feeling his consciousness slip away from him, the young man screamed out into the heavens, wishing at his dying moment to get a second chance. A second chance to make things right. Thankfully, the heavens responded. Sending him back into the world where everything began, Valyr was reborn as an NPC of Greater Beyond a year before the game went live. Armed with all of the knowledge he'd gained from his past life, as well as the goal of not wanting the past to repeat itself, he was going to make sure they won the final battle this time, stopping at nothing to achieve it. Though, before he could do that, he'd first have to pick up the path he ventured in the past. ---------- Feel free to join the Discord: https://discord.gg/FU7fdYwaau

Once the brightest star, Yun Chen lost everything after an accident. He witnessed both the best and worst of those around him, eventually seeking solace in virtual reality games that simulated an ancient cultivation world. In the game, he became the leader of a clan, a master in every field, and a warrior who bravely fought against the hordes of zombies and demons that ravaged the land. He ranked first on all the leaderboards and was worshipped as a god. However, even the greatest heroes must face death. But Yun Chen remained calm. He did everything he wanted to do and even planned his death so he could be reborn as an NPC in his beloved game… huh? NPC? Oh well, it’s not that bad. Create quests, gain prestige, influence, and reputation, and then plan everything from behind. Starting from scratch in an apocalyptic world? Well, he’s already fought zombies and demons, so a couple more ghosts, human betrayals, and political strife won’t hurt him. The hardest part was definitely wasting time cultivating, but he found a way around it without paying more... In the end, Feng Rui did get a couple of nice perks and rare treasures...

Description: In the world of Fateweaver Online, a revolutionary VRMMO game, every player receives a random talent that shapes their journey. For Reiji, an ordinary player, his talent turns out to be something extraordinary—the rare and mysterious "Fateweaver." This power allows him to manipulate the very fabric of the game world, not by leveling up or increasing his own strength, but by empowering monsters, entities, and objects with Fate Points. At first, Reiji struggles to understand the full scope of his ability. He has no direct power to increase his own stats, and his level doesn’t matter. Instead, he can shape the world around him, creating alliances, evolving monsters, and influencing the course of events by infusing them with Fate Points. But with great power comes even greater responsibility—and every action Reiji takes sends ripples through the game, affecting factions, NPCs, and even other players. As Reiji navigates his new path, he encounters powerful entities bound by ancient contracts. Aeris, a dragon and the leader of her race, becomes his first companion, bound to him by the Fateweaver contract. She offers guidance, not through direct action, but by helping Reiji understand the consequences of his choices. Soon, another powerful NPC, bound to the Phoenix race, joins him, and the tension between the Dragon and Phoenix factions becomes palpable. Though both are forced to remain passive at the start, their disdain for each other adds a volatile layer to Reiji’s journey. In this world where powerful NPCs and factions vie for dominance, Reiji’s choices will determine the future. But every decision is costly, and with each action, he risks invoking the wrath of forces far beyond his control. As his powers grow, so too do the consequences of his involvement in the world—shaping alliances, sparking wars, and even altering the game’s balance. Will Reiji become the hero, or will he be swallowed by the very fate he seeks to control? Fateweaver Online is a tale of power, consequence, and the unknown, where every choice matters, and the future is as unpredictable as the forces that drive it.

While the reincarnated villainess and the reincarnated heroine try to change the world in their ways, the world starts revolving around him instead! All hail the rise of a new crimelord!

Having grown up without parents, Daisuke finds himself in a perpetual cycle of poverty as he tries to survive in the bottom rung of society. When the world's first VRMMORPG, Sehreneti Online, is released to the public, he decides to take a gamble by borrowing a buttload of money from some shady people to propel his hack-selling side hustle into the big leagues.

Max Carter, a struggling writer with untapped potential, discovers an ancient pen and notebook buried in the forgotten corners of his university library. To his surprise, the notebook activates a LitRPG interface called the Nexus System, revealing a startling truth: countless fictional worlds have begun to collapse. Villains have won in stories where they shouldn’t have, characters are straying from their arcs, and plotlines are unraveling, creating dangerous rifts that connect these broken stories to one another. The Nexus System assigns Max the role of "Keeper," sending him into these corrupted narratives to repair the damage. Each time he enters a story, the system assigns him a role—Main Character, Side Character, or Random NPC—forcing him to navigate each world from different perspectives. Max must restore the proper endings, ensuring the protagonist wins and the story regains stability before the rift consumes it entirely. But the villains, unaware of their fictional nature, are thriving in their rewritten worlds, making Max’s mission more dangerous with every step. The breakdown of one story threatens the stability of others, as rifts open pathways between worlds, allowing elements from one narrative to bleed into another. Max must carefully balance his interference, as disrupting the story too much risks deepening the rift and pulling entire worlds into chaos. With each story he repairs, Max grows closer to uncovering the truth about the Nexus, the ancient pen and notebook, and why he was chosen. But as the stakes rise and the lines between reality and fiction blur, Max must decide whether to follow the system’s rules—or rewrite his own ending.
