I died. That's obvious. But I was reborn. How? Don't ask me. Maybe it was some god. A divine being? Ah- It doesn't matter. My life burned away and now- well I'm stuck here in this black void. This dungeon. Maybe I had lived a pious last life. Laughable as that was. But I was given a second chance. Told to grow my dungeon, to create hulking monstrosities that would destroy the world. In short, I am now a villain. I am the consciousness of the dungeon, the little orb at the end my body. And still I live. A projection of a body is created - a trap - and I am that. I am the one to guide foolish adventurers to their death. My looks are curated. Soft features that entrap the mind. I am the dungeon. I am the projection, I am human, and I am the dungeon. And I will conquer all. Every being will bow before my might. "Before you're cuteness~" Ah- heh- that too... help... I didn't ask to look this cute!

Humans were clever, beasts possessed power, and a being contained secrets of heaven and earth. But humans went against heaven and created what they called techniques. A war was a result of their folly. But war results in someone being a victor and makes them even more powerful. Many secrets, which were buried in dust. A history that shocked even the heavens. A man whose kindness resulted in a regret. To whom the righteous path and demonic path were just tools. *****/*****

I dashed passed a large tree merely avoiding crashing into it and risking getting caught. If only I had brought my motorcycle along with me, I would've been out of here as quickly as I got in. I continued running taking random turns trying my best to shake the men off my trail. I made a daring turn into a narrow path only to make an abrupt stop- It was a dead end!. 'Why does this almost always happen?' I thought, now extremely annoyed. I hurriedly began surveying my environment, desperately looking for any way to escape. I had to think of something or who knows what they'd do to me if I was caught but how in the world do you escape a dead end? Suddenly, the sound of a gunshot echoed in my ears sending a rushing gust of adrenaline through my veins and soon after came the sound created by the impact of the bullet on the wall ahead of me. 'Damn it!' I hissed, I'd been caught. I raised my hands above my head and slowly turned around to face them. I gave an awkward smile at five men who were all pointing their guns at me. The man in the middle with an expression harsh enough to give anyone the creeps spoke up "Give us the flash or die!". Everything about his voice expressed nothing but a thirst for murder and blood lust. ~~~~~~ I bet you're all wondering how I ended up in something as surreal as this, so why don't I start from the beginning. My parents were your classic run-off-the-mill romcom couples. Their love literally knew no bound. It was always something special the kind you'd rarely see in real life and probably only see in story books and fantasies. They got married and a year later had me...and my twin brother Luca. My parents were rich so, Luca and I grew up comfortable, wrapped and shielded by the warmth of our parents unbreakable love. Everything seemed perfect, but who would have known that perfection could be easily broken. All it took to destroy our perfect lives was one unfortunate,bloody night. I woke up to the sounds of gunshots, panicked I got out of bed and dashed out of my room to follow the sounds and figure out what in the world was going on. I spotted Luca coming out of his room too, no doubt it was the noise that woke him up too. I ran down the stairs of our villa and entered the living room which seemed to be the source of the noise. I stopped dead in my tracks at the most horrifying sight. That was when my world shattered. My dad laid wounded on the floor and my mom had just been shot right in front of my eyes. I collapsed on the floor and screamed. The masked assassins looked up sparing me a few quick glances before escaping through the now shattered windows. Everything else that happened was a blur. Before I knew it we were at the hospital and a few months later, our lives were back to what seemed like our new normal. Luca and I went back to school, all our damaged properties along with all our security guards had been replaced and dad went back to work. We were all devastated when we lost mom and we all tried to move on and look towards the future, well all of us... except dad. He was crushed and he threw himself deep into work. He barely ever slept, always stayed in his room and quickly lost interest in raising us-we practically didn't exist to him anymore. So Luca, being older twin raised the both of us giving me all the parental attention I needed for 4years . Luca and I graduated high school and got an amazing job offer from our uncle-Mark. All we had to do was pass a test and the job was ours but I can't tell you what the test was,that part's confidential and if I told you... I'd have to eliminate you. In Summary, Luca and I passed the test and we're now undercover SPIES! It's the real deal. ***** This story is about the adventures of Andrea and her three best friends but it focuses more on Andrea's side of the story. Having growing up in a loving family, she finds it hard to believe that all she has grown to believe is a lie. She discovers that truly everything is not as it seems as it seems.

Jiang Li woke up in the body of the youngest daughter of the Jiang family, who had been raised in the small village of Aoli. The original owner of her body, also named Jiang Li, had experienced a series of unfortunate events. First, she was abandoned by her fiancé, and in a moment of impulsiveness, she married a divorced man and became a stepmother. To make matters worse, her role as a stepmother was constantly compared to another in her community. She was the epitome of an unfortunate side character in a story. For this new Jiang Li, however, none of these circumstances were a problem. She learned that her husband, a divorced man, was a talented and accomplished scientist who had returned from abroad. He was dedicated to his work, earned a substantial income, and often had to travel for business. In those difficult times when basic necessities were scarce, marrying him seemed like a blessing to Jiang Li, who longed for a simple and peaceful life. Jiang Li's mother was confused and convinced that her daughter had lost her mind. Her brothers and their families shared similar concerns, believing that their sister had gone mad. Aside from the family patriarch, Captain Jiang, everyone else in the family was worried about Jiang Li's well-being. They feared that their delicate and cherished Jiang Li might struggle with the responsibilities of being a stepmother, and that the pressure might take a toll on her fragile health. The villagers, well aware of the Jiang family's situation, gathered to gossip and spread rumors, especially those with malicious intentions. They eagerly awaited any sign of unrest or the family's downfall. But contrary to their expectations, Jiang Li flourished in her married life. She was adored by her husband and cherished by her stepchildren, who affectionately called her "Mom". The elders in the family followed her every move as if she were the center of their attention. A perplexed System mused, "I thought the host I was bound to would be mediocre, but she turned out to be a champion." Author: Warm Heart Moon (暖心月) NB: This is a translation!!!

Reyes never dreamed that his crush, who was still flirting with him in his dreams in the morning, would become his stepmother at night. Watching this woman he wanted to seduce appear in front of him without a care in the world, he desperately tried to suppress those impermissible desires in his heart. That was until one day, this woman sat on his lap like she did in her dream, cupped his face, and looked at him with a pair of cool and drunken eyes. She said, "Are you the one I'm looking for?" Reyes' heart, which had been broken into pieces, suddenly revived. -- Toya became the fiancée of Butler Wilson because of an internal family feud, and with a mandate from her old father, she sought an heir to the family estate while under the protection of the Wilson family. But her fiance's son seemed to be looking at her with increasing inappropriateness; previously, he looked at her like a puppy yearning to be petted by its owner, but now, he seemed like a wolf who wanted to swallow her up at any moment. As she was pinned down in the car and panting from the exhaustion of sex, she wondered in a trance that if she had chosen him in the first place, wouldn't she have avoided having to listen to him address her with such a shameful name during sex? After the death of the Madison family's ruler, several heirs fought over the family's arms business for several years, and no one really got a hold of the inheritance, yet the market had begun to function properly, and they became increasingly suspicious that their sister Toya was behind it. They were about to investigate when they were invited to the house by the new arms dealer. The new arms dealer was a very handsome young man who sat lazily in his chair as he looked down on them like a king sitting on his throne and overlooking everyone. "I hear you guys are investigating me?" The few people were shocked. Wasn't he Reyes, their sister's stepson?
