Growing up on the streets, Rhys' only instinct was survival—by any means necessary. But when the man who took him in disappears, his search leads him to Haloway, a metropolis plagued by a mysterious madness that turns humans into monsters known as Marauders. After a brutal attack, Rhys is dragged into The Abyss, a brutal hell where he must navigate its deadly trials, where only those who escape are marked as Revenants—beings forged in darkness and power. "The Abyss deprives you of everything, even death, no matter how much you yearn for it."

What if money was power? What if capital was magical? What if income was cultivation? What if a young man decided to destroy this unjust world of inequality and build a better one? That was exactly what Cæ (Cash) sought to do amid grief, anger, and hatred when he lost everything in an accident. Having come from nothing in the slums, his only goal had been to live a good life. By the age of twenty-two, he had finally managed to pull himself out of poverty with a decent job and romance. And then he lost everything he had ever built in an accident that left him in a coma for half a year. The world deprived him of the only person he had truly come to love. The predatory healthcare system burdened him with debt. The corrupt justice system deprived him of justice. The financial system robbed him of everything he owned. For the second time in his life, Cæ had been left with nothing. Well, almost nothing. The accident and the ensuing coma had altered his brain and mind, giving him an extraordinary talent for cultivating and mastering magic. He had been blessed with Acquired Savant Syndrome, a medical condition so rare that there were very few instances of it ever having occurred in history. It gave him endless potential and remarkable power. It gave him the power to destroy the world that he hated from the bottom of his heart. It gave him the power to destroy it and build a better one. And that was exactly what Cæ set out to do.

I am an unfortunate teen who died young in a house fire and entered the afterlife being only 17 years old. It wasn't as I would've expected it to be, instead of eternal darkness, I was placed inside a game, a game that's set in an abandoned city deprived of life and energy. In this game, I was assigned challenging tasks with a remarkably attractive reward at the end of the line, which is a pass back into life.

But is it all just a dream? With a set of memories, the knowledge of the future, in a play orchestrated by Destiny, knowing well that he is born to be a Villain, will he prevail?

Don't read if you have a problem with those types of plots. 'Cliche' plot elements are bound to appear, so if you easily get triggered by such things, keep away. And I would advise you to not even start the story if you are an ardent believer of 'Good shall prevail over the Evil'. Keep away! MC here is a Villain! But yes, he is not someone deprived of emotions, even though he is a Scum. So, do not expect an outright Evil MC either. I don't write Netorare. Don't worry about it!

Rionya Remae has only known neglect and lonely isolation since she was forced to join the royal family at the age of eight. The only thing that brings her joy in her love-deprived life is Tyrahnn Theodore Valdis. The moment she sets eyes on him, she yearns to gain his love. And yet...his eyes are set on another- and will never be for her. Not able to handle his rejection, she aims to poison his beloved and faces torture and persecution as a result. Exactly like the villain she is in this story. In her final moments, the man who brings the thing that kills her is none other than Klaus Armalli Siegfried. He is a man she hates purely for existing beside Myra, his younger sister, and the one who captured Tyrahnn's heart. He should despise her just as much as she does him.

This simple exchange engraves so deeply into her mind and soul that she finds herself committing to devote herself to him if there is something as a second life.

Elliot Carter, a down-on-his-luck everyman, is having the worst day of his life. Fired from his job, harassed by his landlord, and deprived of his favorite oat milk, Elliot’s day takes a surreal turn when his phone glitches and reveals a mysterious system interface. He is abruptly named the "Architect of Reality," tasked with rebuilding a crumbling world. With reality’s stability at a precarious 47%, Elliot is thrust into a role he never asked for, armed with a holographic system that allows him to manipulate fundamental aspects of existence—gravity, time, energy, and more. As Elliot navigates this bizarre new responsibility, he discovers that the instability plaguing his world stems from temporal anomalies and energy imbalances, many of which are linked to a mysterious "Unknown Entity" at the heart of the city. With the clock ticking and reality on the brink of collapse, Elliot must learn to wield his newfound powers carefully, balancing the risks of unintended consequences with the urgent need to stabilize the world. From preventing car accidents to tweaking cosmic luck, Elliot begins to make small but impactful changes. However, when he confronts the Unknown Entity—a chaotic vortex of energy that threatens to consume everything—he faces his greatest challenge yet. Forced to make a risky decision, Elliot absorbs the entity into the system, stabilizing reality but unlocking new, unknown dangers. With the first mission complete and reality’s stability at 70%, Elliot gains access to system upgrades, hinting at even greater powers—and greater responsibilities. As he begins to unravel the mysteries of the system and the origins of the Unknown Entity, Elliot realizes that his journey as the Architect of Reality is only just beginning. **Themes:** - The weight of responsibility and the power of choice - The fragility of reality and the consequences of tampering with it - A reluctant hero’s journey from ordinary to extraordinary **Tone:** A mix of sci-fi adventure, existential mystery, and dark humor, with a protagonist who balances skepticism with growing determination. **Potential:** This story sets the stage for a larger narrative about the nature of reality, the origins of the system, and Elliot’s role in a multiverse teetering on the edge of collapse. With each mission, Elliot will face new challenges, uncover deeper truths, and grapple with the moral dilemmas of wielding godlike power.

Being a top-tier athlete who was loved by all—family and fans alike—Mark unfortunately died while performing one of his usual stunts. Whether it was fate or bad luck, no one ever knew the reason for the hand slip that day. After his death, his soul became trapped in an abyss, from which he transmigrated into another world. This new world turned out to be a fantasy realm filled with magic and mana, inhabited by mythical monsters ranging from goblins to black dragons. In this world, everyone was blessed with a system, with specific individuals bearing distinctly advanced ones. Though these systems varied, they were fundamentally similar to all who possessed them. Mark discovered that he had ended up with a cursed system, one that granted him an affinity only for wind—an element widely regarded as the weakest of them all. Though his affinity for wind was overpowered in level, he was restricted to using only wind-based skills, deprived of the ability to utilize any skills that didn’t require an affinity. As such, he must survive in this new and harsh world ruled by evil gods, all while being burdened with a main quest: to become a god himself by reaching an impossible level 1000 with his seemingly worthless cursed system.

Have you heard of the Evernight? It might mean something else but in this world, it's... a curse. Depriving us of light, making us pay for the air we breathe. These times are dire really. With demons ravaging the earth, these awakened came to play. Defeating them, and extending their lives. Some generous enough to share a few years with others. Even with the rarity of hunters, some still kill each other. Because of jealousy, anger, lust, and all other sins there is to commit. It was bad enough that humans committed, but hunters? Blessed by God? "I don't care anymore. He betrayed my trust, and he will pay for it. The entire world will know pain..." Well, the world has produced something even worse than the demons because of their sins. That's on them though...

Eric is given the opportunity to modify/create a simulation-world for himself and others to experience. "He can add magic, rules, and other things to his new simulation-world and he can also change the laws of nature, physics, reality and anything else that he wants" when it comes to his simulation-world until the creation of his simulation-world is "completed with his "modifications, rules, and creations" "continuing after his simulation-world's completion" for "all who or that whenever are at his simulation-world"". He realized that he can connect "the simulation-world he created" to other "simulation-worlds that were created/modified by other people who were given the same opportunity". Immerse into the Simulation-multiverse as Eric and others realize the true nature of the opportunity that they were offered. The Simulation is simply a passtime so that the people don't have "prescious long parts of their lives whereby they're ""not being able to interact with people" and "not having great experiences in their lifetime""". It's like so that a “Hospital patient who wakes up 30 years after first being a Hospital patient” doesn't have to find out that they only have like 15 years left to complete their “bucket list”". They might otherwise feel deprived of the "life experiences that they could have had during those 30 years had they not been “not awake” as a Hospital patient”.

In the year 4367, space is no longer the final frontier—it’s a playground for the rich, a network of luxury stations, high-stakes casinos, and floating estates orbiting the dying planet below. Earth, overcrowded and crumbling under political chaos, is a prison for those who can’t afford to leave. The universe belongs to the powerful. Or so they think. Emerald Voss never asked for a legacy. She built her own fortune through a wildly successful startup, but her father’s name still looms over her—one of the wealthiest resort tycoons in the galaxy, a man who owns entire moons. She’s never had to fight for anything, never had to care about anything beyond the next exclusive party or million-credit business deal. But all of that changes when one reckless, sleep-deprived decision leads her to stumble—half-conscious and starving—into the office of Lumina Zevaris. Lumina is a Krexal, a hulking reptilian warrior-diplomat feared across the stars. As one of the galactic ambassadors, she holds the fragile peace between humanity and the ancient alien civilizations that barely tolerate them. Cold, calculating, and battle-scarred, Lumina has spent years ensuring that humans don’t push too far, don’t step on the wrong toes, don’t ignite a war they can’t win. But the war is already here. A shadow moves across the galaxy—something ancient, something powerful, something that sees humans and all their petty wealth as nothing more than fuel. The great space stations and their golden towers will burn. The rich will flee, but there will be nowhere left to run. And somehow, Emerald is at the center of it all. She doesn’t know why. She doesn’t know how. But the universe—cold, uncaring, and infinite—has chosen her. And whether she likes it or not, she’s about to learn that some things are worth fighting for. That money can’t buy survival. And that in the end, the universe owes her nothing. This is the universe owes her nothing by yours truly. This is for an english project lmao.

In the slums of a city that would rather see them dead, Clementine and Kristal Alderrayne learned early that survival was never guaranteed. At 10 years old, they hid in a closet and listened as their parents were slaughtered and were orphans with nothing to their name. At 12, they became thieves, vanishing into the underworld, even stealing pieces of bread to survive. At 15, they discovered what made them different, strength, speed, the kind of power no ordinary human should have. Half-vampires, their blood finally doing what they are supposed to do. And a secret that could get them killed if exposed. They stopped running. They stopped hiding. They became mercenaries, selling their skills to the highest bidder. At 19, they had earned their place in the world—separate apartments, separate lives, but always bound by the same unspoken and unknown purpose. But survival is not enough. The past still haunts them. The ones who destroyed their family still live. The continent of Vaeloria still belongs to the corrupt and the powerful. And the twins? They are done living in the margins. When whispers of a secret syndicate known as The Deprived reach their ears—a hidden force of outcasts, rebels, and assassins who answer to no king or god but for themselves—the twins find themselves at a crossroads. Do they continue carving their own path alone? Or do they step into something greater—not as followers, but as the ones who will one day rule it? One thing is certain—power is never given. It is taken.

A man awakens in a pitch-black void, deprived of sensation, time, and meaning. Strangely, he does not starve, nor does he thirst—only his mind remains, restless and unrelenting. As the abyss threatens to consume his sanity, he spirals into madness, laughing, screaming, and rambling without end. What begins as a desperate grasp at logic turns into a revelation. Numbers are not mere symbols; they are reflections of a hidden order that has always existed. Mathematics is not an invention—it is a discovery. The laws of the universe were never created, only uncovered.

The Echoes of Rain is a poignant tale that explores the depths of human connection and the power of healing in unexpected places. Amara, a woman haunted by the ghosts of her past, finds solace in the familiar rhythm of the city and the comforting patter of raindrops. For her, the rain is a melancholy companion, a reminder of loves lost and dreams that have withered away like flowers deprived of sunlight. On a dreary evening, as she navigates the bustling train station, her umbrella slips from her grasp, rolling down the aisle as if fate itself has intervened. It is then that she encounters Noah, a stranger whose warm presence and effortless charm immediately disarm her. With a gentle smirk and a twinkle in his deep brown eyes, he retrieves her fallen umbrella, extending it to her with a casual heroism that catches her off guard. Despite her initial hesitation, Amara finds herself drawn to Noah's quiet confidence and genuine interest in her life. As the train carries them through the city, their conversation flows like a gentle stream, touching on shared passions for literature, music, and the beauty found in life's unplanned moments. When Amara confesses her complicated relationship with the rain, Noah listens without judgment, offering a simple reassurance that perhaps the right kind of rain could change her perspective. Their paths separate as abruptly as they converged, but the encounter leaves an indelible mark on Amara's soul. As she walks home, the rain no longer feels like a burden but a cleansing force, washing away the layers of grief and regret that have weighed her down for far too long. Fate intervenes once more when Amara unexpectedly encounters Noah at a cozy coffee shop, his presence as warm and inviting as the aroma of freshly brewed beans. This time, she doesn't hesitate to accept his invitation to join him, and their connection deepens as they peel back the layers of their pasts. Noah reveals the pain of his father's abandonment and his mother's unwavering strength in the face of adversity. Amara, in turn, confides her own struggles, the rain serving as a poignant metaphor for the memories that have haunted her for years. In each other's company, they find a safe haven, a place where their burdens can be shared and their souls can breathe freely. As their friendship blossoms into something deeper, Amara begins to see the world through a new lens. The rain that once represented sorrow now symbolizes rebirth and renewal, each droplet a reminder of the resilience that has carried her through life's storms. And in Noah's embrace, she finds the courage to confront the demons of her past, finally allowing herself to let go of the pain that has held her captive for far too long. In a poetic twist of fate, the story culminates in a rainstorm that washes away the last remnants of Amara's grief, leaving her standing in the downpour, face upturned to the heavens, arms outstretched in a silent embrace of the very thing that once haunted her. It is in this moment that she realizes the true power of love and connection, and the transformative nature of healing that can occur when two souls find each other in the most unexpected of places. The Echoes of Rain is a breathtaking exploration of the human spirit, a testament to the resilience that lies within us all, and a reminder that even in our darkest moments, the possibility of hope and renewal exists, if only we have the courage to open our hearts and let the rain in.

Meet Park Jin-woo: coding genius, ramen aficionado, and champion of the chronically sleep-deprived. His life revolves around debugging nightmares and wrestling with legacy code… until a particularly nasty bug literally zaps him into a world of pointy ears, fire-breathing lizards, and magic that's about as stable as a beta release. Suddenly, "Hello World" takes on a whole new meaning. Turns out, Jin-woo's knack for fixing code translates surprisingly well to wrangling wayward spells, and he's soon Aethelgard's resident "magical troubleshooter." But when a power-hungry sorcerer threatens to rewrite the rules of reality (and not in a good way), Jin-woo must swap ramen stains for rune-etched robes and unleash his inner code wizard. Because saving the world is way more important than a good night's sleep… right?

At the tender age of five, Kingsley Alexander's life was irrevocably changed when she lost her parents in a tragic accident. Left in the care of her mother’s elder sister, Mrs. Carley, Kingsley and her younger brother were thrust into a world of uncertainty. Despite the emotional scars of her loss, Kingsley found solace in the unwavering love and support of her aunt, who worked tirelessly to provide a stable and nurturing environment for the siblings. Though they were far from wealthy, Mrs. Carley ensured that Kingsley and her brother never felt the sting of deprivation, instilling in them values of resilience and determination. For ten years, Kingsley lived a relatively peaceful life, shielded from the harsher realities of the world. But everything changed when she earned a scholarship to Greenmock Academy, an elite private high school known for its opulence and exclusivity. Greenmock was a world apart from anything Kingsley had ever known—a school where billionaire heirs and heiresses roamed the halls, their wealth and influence dictating the social hierarchy. Teachers bowed to their demands, and the rules seemed to bend for those with the deepest pockets. As a middle-class girl with no connections, Kingsley quickly found herself an outsider in this glittering yet cutthroat environment. Her scholarship, secured through the generosity of her boss—a renowned and influential woman who believed in Kingsley’s potential—was both a blessing and a curse. While it opened doors to unparalleled opportunities, it also made her a target for envy and ridicule. The students at Greenmock were ruthless, and Kingsley’s humble background made her an easy mark for their cruelty. Yet, amidst the challenges, she found an unexpected ally—and perhaps something more—in Raymond Wayne, the enigmatic and charismatic son of one of the school’s most powerful families. Raymond was unlike the others. He saw beyond Kingsley’s modest upbringing and recognized her strength, intelligence, and unwavering spirit. Their connection was immediate, a spark that neither could ignore. But their budding relationship was far from simple. Raymond’s world was one of privilege and expectation, and the pressures of his family’s legacy loomed large over their bond. As Kingsley navigated the treacherous waters of Greenmock, she was forced to confront not only the external challenges of fitting in but also the internal struggle of trusting someone who seemed so different from her. Now, as Kingsley stands at the crossroads of her journey, the question remains: Can she overcome the obstacles before her alone, or will Raymond prove to be more than just a fleeting presence in her life? Will their love withstand the weight of their differences, or will the pressures of their worlds tear them apart? And in the face of adversity, will Kingsley find the strength to rise above it all, or will she need Raymond by her side to survive the storm? Dive into Kingsley’s world of trials, triumphs, and heartache as she fights to carve out her place in a society that seems determined to keep her down. Will love be her salvation, or will she discover that her greatest strength lies within herself? ---

In the face of an impending apocalypse—the sun's imminent destruction—Earth's technology proves insufficient to save humanity. Hope arrives unexpectedly in the form of aliens representing the Intergalactic Federation, peacekeepers who have come to adopt Earth's inhabitants into their cosmic alliance. Since Earth falls within the Federation's jurisdictional boundaries, they are obligated to offer salvation. Due to transportation constraints, only 70% of Earth's population—approximately 5 billion people—can be evacuated, along with samples of all animal and plant species. Governments worldwide prioritize children's survival, while countless elders make the ultimate sacrifice, willingly remaining behind to ensure the younger generation's future. The Federation implements a sophisticated ranking system to allocate humans across various planets under their control. High-ranking individuals will be sent to advanced, resource-rich worlds, while those with poor or non-existent rankings face relocation to harsh, barren planets. The interstellar journey will take 170 years, during which evacuees will remain in hypersleep pods—their bodies frozen in time while their minds remain active. These pods are designed to interface with the Federation's network, allowing occupants to participate in a full-dive VRMMO during the journey rather than enduring nearly two centuries of sensory deprivation. This metaverse mirrors Federation society, offering evacuees opportunities to select and train for careers based on their qualifications. Many choose military roles, government positions, scientific research, or engineering paths, requiring specialized training in advanced Federation technologies and interstellar politics. This preparation ensures that upon arrival, humans will possess the knowledge and experience necessary for their chosen professions—making career selection a critical decision. Every eight years, travelers are awakened for three months to exercise and perform maintenance duties aboard the ship, primarily cleaning and system upkeep. However, those who achieve top rankings in the Federation metaverse earn special privileges and freedoms during these awakening periods. As humanity embarks on this desperate exodus, the race for survival transforms into a competition for rank—determining not just individual futures, but the fate of the human species among the stars.

In a world ruled by mythical creatures, humans are seen as insignificant, deprived of rights, and given no respect—unless they are someone’s soulmate. Every human longs to be chosen as a soulmate, except for her. She harbors a deep hatred for mythical beings, especially werewolves, the very creatures responsible for making her an orphan. But fate is cruel. She soon discovers that she is the destined soulmate of a werewolf—a monster in her eyes. Worse yet, not just any werewolf, but the Alpha of the region, a being feared for his power and dominance. Now, she must find a way to escape her fate, but how can she run when the Alpha is madly obsessed with her? Alphas are known for being fiercely powerful and possessive of their soulmates.

Summary: Haruto, an overworked and sleep-deprived novelist, finally finishes a novel after being forced to write 100 chapters in two days by his terrifying boss. Exhausted, he vows to start a new life—but before he can, he collapses and dies. Instead of finding peace in the afterlife, he wakes up in a mysterious white void, greeted by a seductive yet mischievous goddess named Alice. Alice reveals that Haruto left 50 of his past stories unfinished, and as punishment (or perhaps a twisted reward), she offers him a deal: he must enter his own unfinished stories and become the protagonist to complete them. If he succeeds, he can finally rest—or claim Alice as his reward. Thrown into the worlds of his own creation, Haruto must navigate dangerous adventures, face the characters he abandoned, and somehow finish his stories while dealing with Alice’s constant teasing. Will he survive his own plots, or will his own writing be the death of him… again?
