The sky was meant to be still. It was the ground that broke, the seas that shifted — never the wind. But when the sky begins to fall, Aera is the only one who hears it scream. High above the world, the floating island of Whisperfall was Aera’s entire life — a place of open skies, quiet laughter, and distant storms. That peace shatters when strange glyphs begin to glow beneath the cliffs, and the wind carries voices that don’t belong. In the aftermath of a tragedy that tears his home from the heavens, Aera is left wandering the scattered remains of a broken sky. Guided only by fragments of a forgotten power — Threadbinding — he begins to uncover the ancient Loom that holds the world’s fate together... and the truth that something is unraveling it, piece by piece. As he follows the threads through fallen shrines, cryptic ruins, and haunted skies, Aera discovers that he’s not the first to walk this path — only the latest. And if he wants to survive the storm to come, he must learn to bind the wind itself… or be lost to it forever.

That is, until his latest assignment: a bodyguard mission. Now, instead of pulling a trigger, he’s forced to play babysitter to two stunning women.

Julius Marcellus was just an average guy—if you count a near-genius with zero social life and an obsession with hyper-immersive VR games as "average." When he straps into the latest full-dive gaming system to play Eclipse Conquest: Omega, he expects epic battles, loot, and maybe a leaderboard ranking. What he didn’t expect... was to never log out. A freak explosion in the real world fries the system—leaving Julius’s entire consciousness trapped inside the game. But this is no ordinary world. He awakens on Virelda, a planet so massive it dwarfs the Milky Way, located in a galaxy light-years beyond Earth. His mission: conquer the planet and prepare it for human colonization. Equipped with a mysterious injection designed to unlock a random ability based on his psyche, Julius receives a bizarre and unique power: Maiden Gacha—a supernatural roulette that lets him summon powerful, seductive maidens from across dimensions. Each maiden comes with extraordinary abilities, unique personalities, and a deep connection to Julius’s inner self. Now, with an army of otherworldly beauties, evolving kingdoms, and cosmic-level threats ahead, Julius must fight, lead, and outwit god-like entities across Virelda's continents—all while searching for a way back home. But the deeper he delves into this world’s secrets, the more he begins to question: Was this really a glitch… or destiny?

What started as a dream job has become a nightmare of endless hours, sleeping in the office, and being treated like a corporate puppet. While testing the company's latest game, "Empire Online" - based on a popular web novel - exhaustion finally overtakes him and he collapses at his desk. When Dante wakes up, he's no longer in his cramped office.

Lux is the bastard son of a Marquis, branded as a "failed genius" and cursed with multiple debilitating traits.

Armed with his knowledge of the game's storyline and mechanics, Dante must navigate this dangerous new reality. He knows exactly what's supposed to happen to Lux d'Branmere - and it's not good.

"You let them surround us?!" she hissed at me, drawing her blade. "We’re trapped!" I raised my hand. "Trapped? No. We’re exactly where I want them." —CLICK. The runes beneath their feet lit up in a perfect circle. "...Wait. Was this a setup?" "Of course," I said. "It’s easier to catch flies when they walk into the web themselves." ... My name is Loki. Not the god of mischief, but close enough. In my last life, I was a street rat with a bad attitude and a worse haircut. My hobbies included tricking rich kids, stealing cheap paperbacks, and reading one fantasy novel over and over again. And then I woke up inside it. Not as the protagonist. Not as the villain. Just a nobody. A background character with zero stats and no plot relevance. Worse? I remembered everything. The betrayals. The corrupted kingdoms. The apocalypse disguised as prophecy. The chains. The flame. The end of the world. Oh—and the author? Let’s just say they made a lot of… questionable decisions. So I decided to make a few of my own. Steal the legendary cards. Manipulate heroes. Kill villains before the plot needs them. Lie, cheat, and break the system itself if I have to. Because if fate made me a nobody— Then I’ll become the bug that crashes the whole story. This world doesn’t know it yet, but I’m done playing by its script. I’m not the reader anymore. I’m the rewrite. Checkmate. ... discord: https://discord.gg/59UqUTSZbt
