This book features a slice-of-life style with minimal system presence, welcome to enjoy. [Theoretically, this system can target any cognitive being in the universe.] [After selecting a target, the host will randomly acquire the target's skill level and talent.] [When the target is of the same gender, skill experience acquisition speed +50%, skill level cap -50%.] [When the target is of a different species, trigger 404 aura, skill experience acquisition speed +100%, instant death probability +99%.] [After a failed targeting, the punishment mechanism is activated, halving the host's basic stats, entering an absolute weak state, and resetting skill levels.] Traversing into this world, Bai Chuan Ze Ping observes this problematic system, then looks at the top student and beautiful girl of the class... Hmm, perhaps... this classmate could be a fine learning companion. PS: This book is also known as "My Talent Comes from My Girlfriend."

The world hasn't yet been ravaged by monsters, giving Max a monumental second chance. With a decade of brutal experience under his belt, he's ready to rewrite history. But a twist awaits him.

“Dragon’s Roar” was once hailed as the next big fantasy RPG—until everyone moved on. All that remains is a hardcore niche community chasing the elusive 42nd ending, rumored to be the game’s true conclusion. No one has reached it. Most think it's impossible. So of course, I wake up inside the game... As the weakest unit in the entire roster. Now, with the apocalypse looming and every path leading to destruction, I have only one choice: rewrite fate, grow stronger, and claw my way to the true ending—before this world, and me with it, is wiped out for good. --- This is my first time writing a story. So I hope that you, dear reader, enjoy the story I want to tell.

What if your life was never your own? What if every choice, every breath, was ink on a page, and you were made to lose? Eris was written to fall. To burn. To become the villain everyone needed to hate. But she remembers everything now. The death. The second chance. The truth. And she’s done playing along. The world wants its villain back. It’s unraveling without her. But Eris is tired. So very tired. And if she must die again, this time, she’ll choose the ending.

Hunter Cha Eui-jae, who was dispatched to seal a rift that appeared over the West Sea, was flung out as soon as he closed the rift. When he came to his senses, he was lying in a garbage dump. Starving, he was drawn like a zombie is to blood to a hangover soup restaurant, where he realized that he had fallen into South Korea, eight years in the future. In this era, disaster alerts notify people of rift openings in advance, ASMR videos of slimes gathered from dungeons were trending, and idle hunters livestream unboxings of A-rank longswords. Unlike the past, where people trembled in fear of an impending apocalypse, the future was surprisingly peaceful, leaving Cha Eui-jae feeling empty. Since things had turned out this way, why not start a second chapter of life as a part-timer at the hangover soup restaurant, rather than being a hunter? “That’s strange.” “…” “Have we met somewhere before?” Cha Eui-jae’s plan to quietly spend his remaining days as the only part-time worker at the decades-old hangover soup restaurant goes awry when he encounters a mysterious, gas-masked individual… DISCLAIMER: The story credit goes to og translator and author

Ever since he could remember, Choi Do-Woon thought of himself as nothing more than a human doll. Intelligent, yet emotionless, he wandered through a world that never embraced him—until the birth of his younger siblings, who finally taught him what it means to feel, and to live. But when an incurable illness ends his life, he awakens in the body of Lysander Blakesty—one of the three leading villains of the novel he last read, Ways of the Mystic, who is doomed to die by the Prince’s sword. But with knowledge of the novel’s events, and the memories of his past life, Do-Woon is set to change Lysander’s fate… and perhaps discover what it means to be a human being along the way. But who could’ve thought that the choices he would make would spark a romance between him... and the prince?! | LGBTQ+ | *This is my own original work.

#WSA2025 Word went around that no one that had ever knocked on the esteemed Eleazar family’s doors seeking shelter were turned away. Fleeing the prince of Lustris no less, Arabella Sterling held out hope that those weren’t mere rumors as she crossed the border over to Umbraria, home to all creatures of the night. A land where noble blood like hers was a highly coveted delicacy. As such, she wasn’t turned away, but since the Eleazars ran no charity, Arabella was compelled to become the sole blood provider to the heir of the family in exchange for safety. Though never, in a million years, did she imagine that what had started as a simple trade off, could morph into a swirl of tangled passion when the cold and stoic vampire she served showed interest in the young woman beyond the crimson nectar coursing her veins.

It always starts with an accident. That’s how all these stories go. One moment, you’re minding your own business, and the next, you wake up in someone else’s body. For Caspian, his accident started earlier than he even knew. Maybe it began when his sister got him into romance novels? Or when he started really sympathizing with the villains at the ends of books? He’d never know. It was too late to worry about it now. For now, he had to find a way to fix this nightmare, or rehabilitate his image, all while trying to free himself from the fate set out for him. All because of the damn "gods" who he'd cut a deal with. These were the only two options he had available, and he wasn’t sure he could succeed at either. The man he had taken over for had been…a true piece of work. And the secret villain of the book he had been reading before he passed. It had been a harem novel. A reverse harem novel. He was trapped in a huge ass CASTLE with a bunch of men who hated him because he was taking affection and time away from their shared wife. All Cass wanted to do was be a good person, not mess around with this poor woman and her far too handsome husbands. But why would no one leave him alone? Was he too suspicious? And why, after going out of his way to avoid them like they had asked, did they keep pestering him? And where did the heroine go? How was he going to manage three, handsome men without the heroine?

Honesty.

“Is love about who made your heart race… or who knew when to step back so it could keep beating?” Silas loved her in secret, in sacrifice. Caelum loves her in presence, in patience. And she— She stands at the heart of it all, carrying a love shaped by memory and promise, torn between what was, and what dares to be. Not every heart chooses loudly. Some stay. Some let go. But in the end, she must ask not just who loves her— but who walks beside her when the storm comes. As ancient vows awaken and forgotten missions collide, Lhady must confront not only who she loves… but why. Is it the comfort of a future built slowly and safely? Or the echo of a past carved in sacrifice? In the end, Have You Someone to Protect? is not just a question of loyalty—it’s a question of love, identity, and the burdens we carry for those we dare to keep close. And whom does she, in turn, choose to protect?

One moment of weakness and the vultures waiting in the shadows will tear him apart. But Li Tian isn’t the naive fool he once was. He’ll play the villain they fear — and he’ll make the entire cultivation world kneel for daring to betray him twice. Betrayal. Power. Revenge. A System that rewards cruelty. Read on if you dare — and watch the rise of the villain who refuses to die quietly.
