With a vast array of classes, weapons, and endless strategic possibilities, EAO has drawn in over 100 million players worldwide, cementing its status as the ultimate VR experience. Yet, amidst this ever-expanding digital battlefield, our story follows Akito Hoshigane, a second-year high schooler and MMORPG enthusiast who walks the path of the Rogue Anti-Hero. Known by the alias "Hoshigari", he has conquered countless MMORPGs, mastered every melee class, defeated the strongest foes, wiping out PK's (Player Killers) with ease, outplaying entire guilds & clans, and leaving only whispers of his legend behind—a shadow among the elite, feared but unknown. However, for Akito, victory has lost its thrill. Every game, every challenge—completed, conquered, and soon forgotten. None have truly tested his limits. Until now. His next conquest: Exo-Arcana Online. A fusion of fantasy and technology, where players carve their own destinies, forge reputations in any way they desire, and pursue absolute freedom. But this time, Akito knows one thing for certain— He won’t survive as a Rogue Anti-Hero forever, especially in this game where VR MMORPG doesn't even reach it's peak. So... this time... he's trying to be different. (Oh, and yes, this Web Novel was heavily inspired by Shangri-La Frontier, and normally-inspired by Sword Art Online & Infinite Dendrogram)

In a world struggling for balance, Blithe del Rosario, a celebrated fashion designer from Maha, Zubu in Maharlika, led a complex double life. By day, she was known for her breathtaking couture, each piece reflecting the rich culture and resilience of her homeland. However, beneath her captivating beauty lay a dark secret: by night, she transformed into the notorious assassin Lady Dragonfly. This alter ego, forged from necessity and survival, allowed her to blend into shadows, striking fear in the underworld as she sought vengeance for her parents' murder and searched for her missing brother. Meanwhile, in Alkebulan, Chain Singh ascended to the rank of five-star general, known as Marshal Law—the Battle War God of the Zuid Military Forces. Born Citrine Leohart-Curseal, his noble lineage added depth to his character. Renowned for his strategic brilliance and charismatic leadership, he was a key figure in military operations, respected yet feared by his peers. Despite his stoicism, Citrine grappled with the moral complexities of war, yearning for peace and a deeper understanding of his role in the ongoing violence. Unbeknownst to them, Blithe and Citrine's souls were eternally intertwined. They were one soul, connected by love, destined to find each other in every reincarnation. Their paths converged one fateful night when they shared a passionate one-night stand, igniting Blithe's feelings for the unassuming Chain Singh. Citrine, however, was captivated by the lethal persona of Lady Dragonfly, feeling an inexplicable connection to her dark allure. This created a complicated love square: Blithe's affection for the plain Chain clashed with Citrine's idolization of Lady Dragonfly, whom he revered without realizing her true identity.

As they ventured deeper into the tumultuous heart of their society, they encountered ruthless organizations, cunning scientists, and disillusioned citizens, each with their own agendas.

Through this journey, they built a fragile yet profound trust, united in their common cause, while grappling with the tangled emotions stemming from their own love square.

The light of the fireplace cast long shadows on the wall, the fire reflected in the eyes of the woman sitting on the couch with a blanket over her shoulders. She had a bittersweet smile on her face as her mind traveled to the past days, nights long passed, nights she shared with her family when she was a kid. Memories she hoped to bring alive if possible. First story: a story adaptation of a popular folklore in Nigeria; The Princess and the half man; She had sworn on her mother's grave never to be blinded by emotions. But It'd seem she took after her mom in that aspect after all. Throwing all caution to the wind just for a man. She had thought she was different from the rest, leave it to reality to smack her back to her senses. Her feelings for her dad was complicated, she could say she hated him, but that was not quite true, no matter what, he was still her father. The one who pampers and gives in to her every whim. She knew it was partly guilt and the fact she was his only daughter out of a battalion of boys that contributed to his attitude towards her. But so what, she didn't care much for affection, all she had cared for was getting what she wanted, and that had been true about her, until now. Authors note: As a kid my dad will always sit us down at night, outside, in the darkness and tell us the most delightful stories of kingdoms long passed, Princesses and princes, magical creatures, much to the delight of us kids. But there's not much of that nowadays. So I want to share these delightful stories with everyone and I hope by doing this, these stories will not get lost in the sands of time. Thank you, have a nice read.

In the quiet solitude of my youth, I believed I had found love. Like many others before me, I was captivated by the romanticized notions that society painted on the canvas of my mind. I thought love was just an exhilarating feeling that would electrify my senses and sweep me off my feet. Little did I know that true love was a journey, one filled with tumultuous storms that would test the strength of my heart. It was in the depths of my longing that I met her, the girl who would forever change the course of my romantic journey. Her beauty was a mesmerizing blend of grace and innocence, a sight that easily bewitched any onlookers. I found myself falling head over heels for her, only to have my heart crushed when she confessed her love for my friend. The realization pierced through my soul, leaving behind a deep ache that seemed impossible to heal. Life, it seemed, was determined to teach me the art of resilience. Time after time, I found myself facing rejection from the girls I admired. Each rejection carved another scar on my already battered heart, fueling a growing fear of never finding the love I desperately craved. But even amidst the pain, I refused to give up hope, for I knew that one day love would find its way to me. In an unexpected twist of fate, I found myself caught in a delicate web of emotions. It was a time when forbidden love seemed to whisper in the wind, tempting my heart towards a forbidden path. In an act of desperation, I treaded on shaky ground, taking a step too close to my cousin's lover. She claimed their love had faded, and in a moment of weakness, I almost succumbed to the allure of her presence. Yet destiny intervened, allowing me to see the consequences that awaited, saving me from a love that would only lead to further turmoils Amongst my circle of friends, my lack of a girlfriend became a constant source of amusement. They teased and jested, their joviality masking the hollowness that echoed within my heart. Their words stung, reminding me of my own perceived inadequacy. But even in the face of their laughter, I refused to surrender my belief in love. A desperate desire to fit in coursed through my veins, compelling me to create a façade. I pretended to have a girlfriend, painting a vivid illusion to satisfy the expectations of my peers. Behind closed doors, I concocted fictitious tales of love, while my true emotions remained hidden beneath a mask of pretense. I traded the authenticity of my heart for the illusion of acceptance. Deep within the recesses of my soul, I loved love. Its enchanting allure captivated me, winding its way through the corridors of my mind. But fear, born from a series of heartbreaking experiences, anchored my heart in self-doubt and hesitation. I yearned for love, yet the weight of my past burdens made me wary of opening myself up once more. My dreams of finding love were plagued by an ugly truth - bad luck seemed to cling onto my every endeavor. Every girl I admired was already taken, their hearts belonging to another. It felt as though fate itself conspired against me, forcing me to bear witness to love flourishing everywhere around me, but never within my grasp. Despite facing a love-stricken journey, I sought solace in the comforting embrace of a different passion - football. I dedicated myself wholeheartedly to the sport, pouring my energy into every kick, every goal. Football became my sanctuary, shielding my heart from the potential pain of love. It was a bittersweet refuge, providing a sense of purpose while still leaving a lingering ache for the love I yearned to find.

Lee Do Yun was made to believe that he could achieve anything and everything with hard work and by living right. But after his dad slaved all throughout his life for his bosses and their companies but still died poor at the age of forty-eight, Doyun started to doubt that hard work indeed pays. For this reason, instead of working diligently towards his goal of becoming a K-pop idol, Do Yun decided to use the short-cut method. Knowing how modern society seems to favor women more, Do Yun's plan is to leech onto well-connected cougars and rich ladies until he reaches the height of his career as a famous K-pop artist. Yet when his sugar mamas were unavailable during a dire situation, Doyun decided to grab a big thigh for an already-proposed deal.  But what happens when sexting goes wrong and the one who receives his nudes is none other than, Kim Byeong Ho, the future heir of Knet Entertainment, the very company that he is about to join as an idol trainee?  In a state of derilium, Doyun made a grave mistake with this unknown guy. How will he even get the chance to redeem himself when he doesn't even know where to start searching for him? Or what is he supposed to do when he finds out that the one he's been looking for is the heir apparent of Kimland Group? And how can he explain the complicated relationship he has with another Chaebol, Ahn Hyun-Woo, who happens to be a close friend of Kim Byeongho? With such a messed up life, will Doyun ever be able to achieve his dream of becoming a K-pop idol in this situation-ship? Will life be merciful enough to let him experience what real love means? And will he get a happy ending, a bittersweet one, or just a sad ending? Follow Lee Doyun and see how he handles it all. Note: This author will not give warning for any R18 scene. Thank You.

**Summary of the Novel:** *Alice, an alien girl from the distant "Cape Town Planet," finds herself stranded on Earth after losing her signal device. She is far from ordinary—Alice has superpowers and, when she inhales the hormones emitted by human males, she enters a "flowery state" that unlocks her deepest inhibitions. While trying to blend in with human society and repair her signal to return home, she encounters Edward, a powerful CEO who suffers from a mysterious condition: "rainy weather heterosexual amnesia." Whenever it rains, Edward forgets the women in his life, including Alice.* *Despite their otherworldly differences and Edward's strange affliction, a quirky and passionate romance blooms between them. Alice, using her alien abilities, helps Edward navigate the challenges of his life, while Edward finds in Alice something he’s been missing—a love that makes him feel truly valued. However, their budding relationship faces obstacles, including the rivalry between Edward and his brother Andrew for Alice’s affection, and Alice's inner conflict about staying on Earth versus returning to her home planet.* *As the rainstorms grow stronger and Edward's amnesia worsens, Alice becomes determined to help him, even as her own time on Earth grows short. The two share moments of love, laughter, and struggle, but in the end, Alice is forced to make the heartbreaking decision to return to her planet. Their love remains incomplete, leaving a sense of unfinished business between them.* *With Alice gone and Edward left with only fading memories of their time together, the story ends on a bittersweet note, promising that their love story will continue in a second season, where they will fight against the odds to reunite across the stars.*
