At the age of 17 Shen Wu lost his parents as well as his beloved little sister in a fire. Now he’s 34 and working a Stereotype job at a Company. While thinking about his life and regretting his past, he’s being transported to his past self at the age of 16, only to realize that it was not the earth he new. ———————————————————

As if it wasn’t enough to be hit on the head by my co-workers and boyfriend, I died at the hands of my gambling-addict older brother. Without even regretting my unfortunate death, I realized that I had possessed a supporting role in a romantic fantasy novel, which I just read yesterday. To be precise, a villainess destined to die at the hands of her husband. I know it’s cliché! ‘Possessed a villainess in a romantic fantasy novel! So this is what it feels like?’ I thought it was pretty good for the price of my unfair death. Until I realize that no matter what I do, I can’t deviate from the flow of the original. For the female lead Rizé, it’s a delightful cider series, but it’s nothing more of a bloody story for Edith, the villainess I possessed. I am the protagonist in my life. If I’m going to die according to the original story, I should at least kiss my super handsome husband! In the original story, Edith is greatly despised by her husband, but who cares, I’m going to die anyway. However… “You pretended not to be, but now you’re so hot to play with. Well, that’s good.” “Yes…?” “Satisfy me like Rigelhof’s serpent. Well, who knows? I might be interested in that body of yours.” …why is the original story starting to change now? ***** P/s: The cover are not mine. It’s from original author. Don’t use it without permission.

Karl, a young man stuck in a rough patch after losing his job and burning through almost all his savings, wandered through the cold, dark streets of Eldoria. On the damp, silent sidewalks, he stumbled upon something bizarre: an old gacha machine mysteriously appearing at every corner he turned, almost as if it was following him. Driven by a mix of curiosity and the overwhelming weirdness of the situation, Karl finally gave in and used his last bit of money on the machine. From the gacha ball, he pulled out a card with a barcode. Back in his cramped apartment, curiosity finally won over caution, and Karl scanned the barcode. To his shock, an app called "Common Sense Manipulation App" installed itself on his phone, claiming it could alter people's "common sense." ------ Support Me By Gifts or Power Stones -----

Zoya, a young woman running from her father’s debts and the life that suffocates her, meets Aarish, a guarded man with a dark past he can’t escape. Together, they form an unlikely bond, teaching each other how to disappear—not just from the world, but from the pain that haunts them. But disappearing isn’t as simple as erasing your name or changing your face. It’s about letting go of the people you love, the places you call home, and the person you used to be. As Zoya and Aarish grow closer, they begin to realize that their connection is both a lifeline and a liability. For Aarish, loving Zoya means putting her in danger. For Zoya, loving Aarish means risking the fragile new life she’s built. When Aarish vanishes without a word, leaving only a letter and a shattered heart behind, Zoya is forced to confront the truth about their pasts—and the sacrifices they’ve both made to survive. "The Art of Disappearing" is a haunting tale of love, loss, and the unbearable weight of letting go. It’s a story about the people who change us, the choices that define us, and the scars that remind us of where we’ve been.

In a world shaped by gods, destiny, and prophecy, everything follows a predetermined cycle. The Five Goddesses rule the heavens, having sealed away their sole brother, Kaelis, the God of Unity, long ago—twisting his name into the God of Chaos to erase his true purpose. With his fall, the Hero’s Party defeated the Demon Lord, and non-human races perished one by one, leaving only humans to rule the world. Before Kaelis was sealed, however, eight monoliths descended, warning that once every odd century, a Destined One would be born—either a harbinger of chaos or tranquility. This prophecy became an unshakable truth, with the world rising and falling in accordance with these chosen individuals. Yet, centuries later, long after the last Destined One passed, the world faced a new calamity. The ley lines of mana, the lifeblood of magic, began to wither. The Church of the Five declared it divine will, while scholars and mages sought a solution. One woman—a brilliant but infamous sorceress—discovered the cause and took it upon herself to restore the mana flow. She succeeded—but her actions tore open a rift between dimensions, unleashing monsters not born of this world. Though the breach was eventually sealed, the damage was irreversible. The world changed forever, and she vanished into legend—reviled by some, revered by others. Now, in the present era, the world exists in tenuous balance. Monsters roam the land, kings rule their fractured domains, and the Church maintains its iron grip. No new Destined One has emerged. The world expects another cycle to begin. Then, he is born. A child without prophecy, without divine origin, without fate. A soul not from this world. Unlike the Destined Ones of legend, his birth was never foreseen by the gods—an impossibility that throws the celestial order into chaos and confusion. For the first time, something has entered this world without the hand of the divine guiding it. He is not a hero. He is not the chosen one. He is an anomaly. And in a world where destiny dictates all, a man with no fate may be the most dangerous force of all.
