The Name Of The Game

While rummaging through his attic, a young boy named Ethan stumbles upon an old, dusty box with a strange label: THE GAME. Curiosity piqued, he opens it and finds a single DVD inside. The cover art is minimalist, yet captivating, featuring only a glowing symbol. Ethan, an avid gamer, immediately senses something unusual about the game and can't resist the temptation to try it out. Eager to share this mysterious discovery, he calls over his three closest friends—Liam, a competitive gamer; Maya, a quick-witted strategist; and Zoe, a tech-savvy enthusiast. Together, they gather around the TV, pop the DVD into the player, and each grab a game console to choose their characters. The moment they select their avatars, the room is flooded with blinding white light. In an instant, they find themselves sucked into the game world, their bodies transported to a vibrant, pixelated environment. Confused but exhilarated, the group quickly realizes that the game is no ordinary adventure. It feels real—too real. They are now part of a vast, uncharted world filled with strange creatures, enigmatic landscapes, and challenging puzzles. The friends must navigate the first level together, where each decision they make has a direct impact on their survival and progress. As they work together to solve puzzles, battle strange foes, and unlock secrets, they begin to notice something disturbing—this game seems to know things about them, their pasts, their fears, and their desires. As they explore further, they discover that the game isn’t just a challenge—it’s a test, and there’s no guarantee they’ll make it out unscathed. The friends soon realize they can’t trust everyone in the game, as some players seem to have dark motives. They must learn to rely on each other and uncover the truth behind The Game before it’s too late. The first level is only the beginning, and Ethan and his friends are about to find out that what lies beyond is far more dangerous than they could ever imagine. The stakes are high, and the only way to win may require them to sacrifice everything. Themes: Friendship, trust, the unknown, personal growth, the boundary between reality and the virtual world. Tone: Suspenseful, adventurous, with elements of mystery and psychological intrigue, blurring the line between reality and the virtual.

a girl who was living in her simple life and someone gave her a book. she was curios so she read. so in the next day she was reincarnated to a villian in a fantasy world. What will happen next?

It was only after Damian died miserably that he learned that the young man who shouted about love and friendship all day long was the male protagonist, the one destined to save the world, and he was just a minor villain, a stepping stone for the hero along the way. Because Arthur is the hero, he, who has a cautious personality will ignore the opponent's threat and let him grow. Because Arthur is the protagonist, every fatal move he makes has no effect. Because Arthur is the protagonist, even his loyal men will be inspired to rebel. Because Arthur is the protagonist, every strong girl will open her arms and welcome him to join after seeing his smile. Now, after regaining his life in the past through the rebirth, Damian had three choices before him -: 1) Just like in the previous life, fight hard with the protagonist and try to find a way to kill him. (Yeah, good luck with that dumbo..) 2) Don't be a villain, and seek a way out. Hide from the hero and heroines (Like fate would let you, silly..) 3) Join the hero's group and act like a righteous little brother. (That means forgetting everything he went through..) Damian looked at all three plans carefully and reordered them instantly. He wants to join the hero's group like a righteous person, and then find a way to kill the damned protagonist. "You think the story ends with you saving the world? But guess what, I’m rewriting the script. This world isn’t worth saving. And if I have to destroy it to kill Arthur, then so be it." And thus the world witnessed the birth/rebirth of a true villain. XXX---XXX Note -: It's a post apocalyptic fantasy novel. With zombies, mutation, evolution and some super powers kinda stuff. -MC is a proper cruel villain. Not at the level of being totally emotionless but not quite far either. -The hero is a proper protagonist. Not like those double standard guys from random cn mtl novels who're more villainous than so called villains.
