I tried countless times. I cried, I despaired, and I gave up—only to realize I couldn’t. So, I fought. Again and again. Until the light in my eyes faded, and hope became a distant memory. But in the end, my path was doomed from the start. This time, I’ll do better. --- The world is on the brink of annihilation, torn apart by wars where information is the deadliest weapon. Vane, an elite operator, is trained to survive deep behind enemy lines, enduring the impossible. He thought he could outlast it all. He was wrong. Before he even saw it coming, the world ended—and so did he. But death is not the end. Given a second chance in a world where reality bends and the rules are rewritten, Vane must fight once more—this time, for more than survival.

When the world ends, Yating just wants to graduate. But between her hoarder mom's "useful" stockpile of expired coupon books, her dad's concerning new hobby of staring at walls for fourteen hours straight, and her classmates slowly transforming into gold-flecked, harmony-humming mushroom zombies, she's realizing the survival guide for this apocalypse was never printed; just slowly growing in petri dishes no one bothered to check. Armed with: - A bio lab with one working microscope (RIP Mr. Lin, we barely knew ye) - Mei’s unsettling knack for spotting infected (turns out ballet training catches the half-second lag in their movements) - Wang’s vape mod turned spore detector ("It’s not just a bad habit," he insists) - Ju’s self-taught signal-jamming (and his even more impressive ability to ignore Zhao’s commentary) Zhao’s two actual survival skills: - First aid skills (thanks to his ER nurse mom’s "cheerful" dinner table trauma stories) - Tactical pessimism (his "worst-case scenario" plans are weirdly airtight, and delivered with maximum sarcasm) They’ll either solve the fungal apocalypse or become its next experiment. (Zhao’s already made complaints for both outcomes.) (Updates when the cultures show interesting results)

In a world where power comes from masks, Vin and his friends, Fust and Kua adventure themselves on their school missions and adventures!

"Weak" suffer in the war, and "weak" can never have a happy life. I am maybe weak but I will trample all strongmen and become the strongest.

The imperial sky moans in the shadow of an ancient prophecy-"The Emperor will fall by the hand he trusted, and the throne will belong to the outcast.” Feng Yuheng was not a man to bow to fate. He is the Emperor's sword, a war general feared on the battlefield, a man who bows only to the lord of the sky. However, everything changes when he meets Mei Lian, a woman who should be nothing more than a shadow of the palace's past-a banished concubine, a blood who should have died in disgrace. However, Mei Lian returns, not as a weak girl sacrificed by her family, but as a threat that could shake the empire. She carries secrets that could topple the throne, secrets that even Feng Yuheng himself is afraid to reveal. When the palace is engulfed in a power struggle, their love and vengeance collide in an inevitable storm. Feng Yuheng knows, if he falls under Mei Lian's spell, then the sword he draws for the emperor might have to be pointed at the woman he loves. And if Mei Lian allowed his heart to weaken, then his struggle all this time would be in vain. Among the fires of war, the blood shed, and the betrayals that repeatedly break hearts-only one can survive. Throne, or love? Revenge, or forgiveness? As the sky turns red with rage and despair, who will win this war-the man who swore allegiance to the empire, or the woman who vowed to destroy it?

Have you ever wondered what's on the other side of the mirror? This is not just another sappy coming-of-age story about school and first crushes.

About the struggle – the daily struggle that thousands of teenagers face. It is a dark, poignant story about how lonely you can be in a crowd, how imperceptible the dramas of their children are to adults, and how thin the line between reality and nightmare is. Maja is an ordinary girl who struggles with hate and a lack of understanding every day. She doesn't fit in. She is different. She sees more, feels more, but she can't tell anyone.

But if that's the case... who is she really? It is a coming-of-age story, but in a completely different light. A light that barely shines through the darkness. About how easy it is to disappear – and how difficult it is to be noticed. Adults say, “It's just a phase.” Children are silent because no one listens to them. But what if there are things that cannot be ignored? This is a story about what lurks in the darkness – and what happens when the shadow starts to look in our direction. A story in which anyone who has ever felt invisible can recognize themselves. Do you dare to look into the mirror?

"Master Sun, your sect is now a well-known sword sect in the northern cultivation world. What do you think of Dean Xu?" "I often tell experts that Dean Xu is my idol.

He would no longer continue to train them and sell them all to other sects. Now his disciples are all over the world, and his people are everywhere." "What do the seniors of the magic sect here think of Dean Xu? He has been hiding his identity and mixing in the magic world for many years..." "Don't talk nonsense, reporter! Our gang leader is the most famous demon in southern Xinjiang. The person you are talking about has nothing to do with him!" "Okay, okay, then I want to ask the head of the Qin Dynasty. The Huanhai Sect is the largest sect in Xize. Xu The dean is secretly in charge of the government, engaging in financial frauds and involving countless sects. Now the creditors are denouncing us outside our venue. How do you respond?" "It's ridiculous. Our leader's surname is not Xu. Besides, we don't have any creditors. All the creditors died in the fight for the ancient cultivation inheritance. Those people outside are just hostile sects who deliberately took the opportunity to mess with us." "But according to our investigation, the ancient cultivation inheritance is a new tomb built by Dean Xu, and the people inside were not all blown to death..." "I'm warning you! This is blatant slander!" "Let's put this question aside for now. What do the Donghuang monsters think of him?" "I want to give birth to his children."-----The dragon girl of the dragon clan said so.
