River Of Stars

She sits there, bare feet crossed, a cigarette loosely held between her slender fingers. Wisps of silver smoke curl lazily around her, dancing to an unseen rhythm. Amber eyes glimmer with amusement as she smirks, gaze piercing through the very pages you are reading. "Do you think this is just a story? You're wrong. This is a game. And me? I'm just a spectator, watching how interesting it becomes." Another voice cuts through her musings. Author: "Aren’t you going to give them a warning?" The Fox tilts her head, lips curling into an amused smile. "The only warning I have for them? They'll lose money. Because this story is just that good." Blurb: A lost soul awakens within a misty void, reborn in a world where gods are not just myths—they are the very laws that shape reality. Here, dreams, memories, and fate itself are bound by forces beyond comprehension. Bestowed with an extraordinary ability, he is given the chance to step beyond the fragile boundary between life and death. But each return comes at a cost—fragments of his memory, pieces of his emotions, or perhaps... parts of himself. Shattered glimpses of reality intertwine, where death is not the end but a door leading to secrets long buried. In this world, everything follows a law—except for one thing. Death never truly ends. So when the river falls silent… what will remain? This is the English version of When the River Fall Silent, read the Vietnamese version here: https://www.webnovel.com/book/32215080608337705

The seasoned player of "Abyss of Stars," the [Starfall Master] Li Zi, brings a system template and travels to the game's world, arriving in the era of the game's beta version. This is the worst of times. The cosmic forces and conglomerates collude, causing the doors to the universe to be closed, the planet's resources to be exhausted, and even sunlight to be monopolized. This is also the best of times. All the extraordinary systems are just beginning. In this era, he is the only [Starfall Master] with the final version patch. While people are enthralled by the smoke of plasma guns and cannons, Li Zi has already torn apart battleships with gravity. While superhumans are smug about their awakened abilities, moonlight has already become Li Zi's servant. While the interstellar fleet crosses the Milky Way, Li Zi has just ignited the forty-second star, illuminating the entire universe. "People have been trapped on the ground for too long; they've forgotten that this starry sky should belong to all of us." —Facing the unspeakable aboriginal evil gods, Li Zi, holding a black hole, gently said.

Ha-eun, a jaded physics student drowning in debt and familial guilt, stumbles upon an antique shop that shouldn’t exist. There, she buys a mysterious cube—a relic that hums with the resonance of dead stars. Ignoring the owner’s cryptic warning (“Some truths dissolve the soul”), she touches it… and is torn into a liminal hell between dimensions. Trapped in a realm where time fractures, Ha-eun witnesses agonizing echoes of her life: her mother pleading with police, her father weeping at a makeshift shrine, and versions of herself thriving in happier timelines. But this purgatory is no passive prison. Hostile entities, born from swallowed civilizations and lost travelers, hunt her. To survive, she fights, adapts… and mutates. Millennia pass. Her skin hardens into a galaxy-veined carapace. Her hair bleaches white as forgotten constellations. The cube’s power sustains her, but each transformation erases another memory—her childhood, her name, the sound of her brother’s laugh. When she discovers other trapped souls, including a charming, half-mad alien warrior and a spectral version of the antique dealer himself, Ha-eun faces an impossible choice: Escape by damning another to take her place. Or ascend as the cube’s eternal guardian—a cosmic deity stripped of everything human. But as she uncovers the cube’s true purpose—a device forged to devour dying universes—Ha-eun realizes her survival could doom countless realities. Including her own.

--- The Lord of the Stars Kingdom For centuries, the celestial realms have watched over the universe, maintaining balance and order. But when an ominous dark energy takes the form of a powerful being, its sole purpose to bring doom and eternal darkness to Earth, the cosmic balance is thrown into chaos. Dhruv, the revered Lord of the Stars, is chosen to descend to Earth and uncover the source of this growing darkness. He is tasked with eliminating the threat, but his mission comes with a condition, he can only return to his celestial kingdom once his duty is fulfilled, unless he breaks the sacred rules of the celestial order.

He witnesses the beauty of human ambition, the warmth of companionship, and, most dangerously, the stirrings of love. But the darkness lurking in the shadows is not idle. The entity’s influence grows, creeping into the hearts of humans, distorting reality itself. As celestial and earthly forces collide, Dhruv must make an impossible choice, fulfill his duty and return to his kingdom, or risk everything, even his own divine existence, to protect the world he never expected to cherish.

Magic academy. Male and female lead characters. A world of sword and magic like any that exist, the only difference is the ones in it and the ones telling it. *No One 17 and Under Admitted because there is some erotic and steamy description in the story and because I'm not sure what the difference between Restricted means compared to No One 17 and Under Admitted, so better be safe than sorry. * All characters are not underage unless stated otherwise, and seriously this is a fantasy setting so no one looks their age. The story may or may not continue, chapters release are not predetermined so it will be short(probably) Any mention of people, places, negative terms/slang, etc that are somehow related to the real world one are should be assumed to be purely coincidence. * New and inexperience hence the long description (Very sorry, but thanks for reading)
