Being the author of the breakout novel, Gates of The Primordials, Jarren Fletcher did not care about the constant critiques claiming he had a habit of treating extra characters as mere plot devices, creating and then dumping them once they’d served their purpose. To Jarren, it didn’t matter. Extras were just that—extras. All that mattered was the main character. But Jarren never expected to wake up in his own story, reincarnated as one of the meaningless, disposable extra characters, Deremiah Morcant—a coward who took his own life to escape the perilous challenges of the Gate Trials. Now, Jarren has to face those deadly challenges himself in the body of a weak, insignificant extra. He must find a way to survive in the rules of the dangerous world he had created, whilst also trying to save it. But time is running out. The next Wave is coming, and so are the paragons.

A Webnovel Author who died after installing a strange farming game was reincarnated into a brutal, apocalyptic world. Armed with only his wit and a quirky farming system, he finds himself surrounded by ruined cities, mutated beasts, and desperate survivors. The world is on the brink of collapse, but his system insists on growing crops and raising livestock in the middle of the wasteland. At first, he thinks it’s a joke—a farming system in the apocalypse? But soon he discovers the hidden potential of his system. The crops he grows can strengthen his body, grant unique abilities, and even repel the deadly monsters that roam the land. However, the system has a mind of its own, and not everything is as it seems. Now, balancing survival and farming, he must build a haven in this hostile world, gathering strange allies along the way, all while uncovering the secrets behind his reincarnation. As his farm flourishes, so does his power—making him a target for dangerous factions and ancient forces that lurk in the shadows. Can a peaceful farmer rise to become the hero this broken world needs? Or will his fields of hope be crushed by the horrors that await? Note: 1. Slow-paced story. 2. There is no female lead in this book.

You can have a chat with me on discord. https://discord.gg/MgVng8Fh Mark Eisner is the greatest example of a failure. Unable to get his dream job, he resorts to writing a story, a story close to his heart, a story in which he expressed himself to the fullest. It was the delusional universe he created for himself. Unable to grasp the attention of readers, his book was deemed a failure as well. Heartbroken after suffering his crushing fate, Mark commits suicide, uttering his last words; proclaiming the end of his story. But was this the end of his story? Hell Nah! He is far from being dead. He finds himself, astonishingly, still possessing his consciousness, even though his existence is formless. What he then sees is unbelievable. The hero he created, the hero "he only" loved, the hero that reflected himself... His own protagonist. Reincarnated as the system of the hero of his own novel, Mark undergoes an epic journey with his unanticipated creation, helping him throughout, knowing all about his predicaments. There are a few rules to him - 1. RELAY ONLY REQUIRED MESSAGE TO THE PLAYER 2. DROP DESIGNATED REWARDS 3. EXPEL THE PLAYER IF PLAUSIBILITY REACHES LIMITS But.... Is that all? Does he really thinks events will take place just as he layed them? . . . Is he really that Omniscient ? Is he the only one.... . . .

Tinggal di mobilnya di tempat kerjanya, kehidupan Imogen jauh dari kata baik. Dengan ibu yang sakit, pekerjaan yang menuntut, dan perjuangan menjadi tunawisma serta benar-benar bangkrut karena biaya rumah sakit. Dia tidak berpikir banyak lagi yang bisa salah. Namun, nasib tampaknya suka menendangnya saat dia terjatuh; tepat ketika dia berpikir bahwa dia sudah mencapai titik terendah, dia mengetahui bahwa para pria yang menjadi atasannya adalah teman sejatinya dan dia terseret ke dunia yang sama sekali tidak dia inginkan — dia menghargai kemanusiaannya dan mereka menolak untuk melepaskannya, malahan mereka menawarkan untuk memperbaiki semua masalahnya, dengan satu syarat: manusia dilarang di dunia mereka, sehingga untuk bersama mereka dia harus menyerahkan satu hal yang tersisa, yaitu kehidupannya. Saat dia berpikir bahwa dia telah mengambil keputusan dan merasa seolah dia termasuk di dalamnya, dia menemukan bahwa mereka memiliki lebih banyak rahasia, dan sekarang dia tidak ingin apa-apa lagi selain lepas dari cengkeraman mereka dan melanjutkan hidupnya. Ketika hidupnya mulai berputar di luar kendali dan mereka membawanya, akankah dia menolak ikatan dan menyerahkan kehidupannya? Dia tahu bahwa dia tidak akan pernah bebas dari mereka dan menjadi manusia menghadapi lycan dan vampir, dia mungkin tidak lebih dari seekor bebek duduk, mangsa yang mudah dan sekarang dia harus menemukan cara untuk menahan dorongan ikatan yang selama ini tidak dia ketahui, menahan godaan yang adalah mereka, tetapi yang paling penting untuk mengetahui siapa dirinya sebenarnya, karena keluarganya memiliki rahasia sendiri dan rahasia itu ternyata menyebabkan luka di dunia, namun juga memberinya kemauan untuk bertahan hidup.

Morando em seu carro em seu local de trabalho, a vida de Imogen estava longe de ser boa. Com uma mãe doente, um emprego exigente e lutando com a falta de moradia, além de estar completamente falida pelas despesas hospitalares. Ela não achava que as coisas pudessem piorar. Mas o destino gostava de chutá-la enquanto estava caída; justo quando pensou que havia atingido o fundo do poço, ela descobre que os homens para quem trabalha são seus companheiros e ela é sugada para um mundo do qual não quer fazer parte, ela valoriza sua humanidade e eles se recusam a desistir dela, em vez disso, eles oferecem resolver todos os seus problemas, mas há apenas um problema: humanos eram proibidos em seu mundo, então, para ficar com eles, ela deve desistir da única coisa que lhe resta, sua vida. Justo quando ela pensa que tomou uma decisão e sente que pertence, ela descobre que eles tinham mais segredos e agora ela não quer nada mais do que escapar de suas garras e seguir em frente com sua vida. Quando sua vida começa a ficar fora de controle e eles a levam, ela resistirá ao vínculo e desistirá de sua vida? Ela sabe que nunca estará livre deles e, sendo humana contra um licantrópio e um vampiro, ela pode muito bem ser um pato sentado, presa fácil e agora deve encontrar uma maneira de resistir aos impulsos do vínculo que nunca soube que existia, resistir à tentação que eles são, mas mais do que tudo descobrir quem ela realmente é, porque sua família tem seus próprios segredos e esses segredos surgem causando um mundo de dor e ainda assim dando-lhe uma vontade de sobreviver.

Viviendo en su coche en su lugar de trabajo, la vida de Imogen estaba lejos de ser grandiosa. Con una madre enferma, un trabajo exigente y luchando con ser sin hogar y completamente sin dinero por los gastos del hospital. No pensó que las cosas pudieran empeorar. Pero el destino le gustaba darle patadas cuando estaba caída, justo cuando creía que había tocado fondo, se entera de que los mismos hombres para los que trabaja son sus compañeros de alma y se ve arrastrada a un mundo del que no quiere ser parte, ella valora su humanidad y ellos se niegan a renunciar a ella, en cambio, ofrecen solucionar todos sus problemas, pero hay una trampa: los humanos están prohibidos en su mundo, por lo que para estar con ellos debe renunciar a lo único que le queda, su vida. Justo cuando piensa que ha tomado una decisión y siente que pertenece, descubre que tenían más secretos, y ahora no quiere más que escapar de sus garras y seguir con su vida. Cuando su vida comienza a perder el control y ellos la toman, ¿resistirá al vínculo y renunciará a su vida? Ella sabe que nunca se liberará de ellos y siendo humana frente a un licántropo y un vampiro podría ser considerada un pato sentado, presa fácil, y ahora debe encontrar una manera de resistir los impulsos del vínculo que nunca supo que existía, resistir la tentación que son ellos, pero sobre todo descubrir quién es realmente, porque su familia también tiene secretos, y esos secretos emergen causando un mundo de dolor pero también dándole un deseo de sobrevivir.

Vivant dans sa voiture sur son lieu de travail, la vie d'Imogen était loin d'être idéalle. Avec une mère malade, un travail exigeant et luttant contre le sans-abrisme ainsi que les dépenses médicales la mettant sur la paille. Elle ne pensait pas que les choses pourraient empirer. Mais le destin aimait la frapper lorsqu'elle était à terre, juste au moment où elle pensait avoir touché le fond, elle apprend que les hommes pour qui elle travaille sont ses âmes sœurs et elle est aspirée dans un monde dont elle ne veut pas faire partie, elle valorise son humanité et ils refusent de la laisser partir, ils offrent plutôt de résoudre tous ses problèmes, il y a juste un hic : les humains étaient interdits dans leur monde, alors pour être avec eux elle doit abandonner la seule chose qui lui reste, sa vie. Juste au moment où elle pense avoir pris une décision et se sentir à sa place, elle découvre qu'ils avaient plus de secrets, et maintenant elle ne veut rien de plus que de s'échapper de leurs griffes et de continuer sa vie. Lorsque sa vie commence à déraper hors de contrôle et qu'ils la prennent, résistera-t-elle au lien et abandonnera-t-elle sa vie ? Elle sait qu'elle ne sera jamais libre d'eux et étant humaine contre un lycan et un vampire, elle pourrait aussi bien être un canard assis, une proie facile et maintenant elle doit trouver un moyen de résister aux pulsions du lien qu'elle n'a jamais su qui existait, résister à la tentation que sont eux mais surtout découvrir qui elle est vraiment, car sa famille a aussi des secrets et ces secrets sortent causant un monde de douleur mais aussi lui donnant une volonté de survivre.

Imogen lebte in ihrem Auto an ihrem Arbeitsplatz, und ihr Leben war alles andere als schön. Sie hatte eine kranke Mutter, einen anstrengenden Job und kämpfte damit, obdachlos zu sein und durch die Krankenhauskosten völlig pleite. Sie dachte nicht, dass noch viel schief gehen könnte. Aber das Schicksal hat sie gerne getreten, als sie dachte, sie hätte den Tiefpunkt erreicht, erfährt sie, dass die Männer, für die sie arbeitet, ihre Kumpel sind, und sie wird in eine Welt hineingezogen, von der sie nichts wissen will. Sie schätzt ihre Menschlichkeit und sie weigern sich, sie aufzugeben, stattdessen bieten sie ihr an, all ihre Probleme zu lösen, es gibt nur einen Haken: Menschen waren in ihrer Welt verboten, also muss sie, um mit ihnen zusammen zu sein, das Einzige aufgeben, was sie noch hat, ihr Leben. Gerade als sie glaubt, eine Entscheidung getroffen zu haben und sich zugehörig zu fühlen, findet sie heraus, dass sie noch mehr Geheimnisse hatten, und jetzt will sie nichts mehr, als ihren Fängen zu entkommen und ihr Leben weiterzuleben. Wenn ihr Leben aus den Fugen gerät und die beiden sie entführen, wird sie dann der Bindung widerstehen und ihr Leben aufgeben? Sie weiß, dass sie nie frei von ihnen sein wird, und als Mensch gegen einen Lykaner und einen Vampir ist sie eine leichte Beute. Jetzt muss sie einen Weg finden, dem Drang des Bandes zu widerstehen, von dem sie nie wusste, dass es existiert, der Versuchung zu widerstehen, die sie sind, aber vor allem herauszufinden, wer sie wirklich ist, denn ihre Familie hat ihre eigenen Geheimnisse, und diese Geheimnisse kommen ans Licht und verursachen eine Welt des Schmerzes, aber sie geben ihr auch einen Willen zu überleben.

Revenge, Becoming the strongest, living a wholesome life, protecting the world? Nope, I was just curious. Curious about what the world would be like if there wasn't a single main character. I have always hated main characters who take all the spotlight for themselves and make a fool out of everyone just because they can; I wanted a world where everyone can be a main character. A world where the antagonist can kill the protagonist, a world without a protagonist. I always thought that it was an impossible task... however, fate wasn't as cruel as everyone thought it to be. Or, maybe I was just lucky... Lucky enough to get a second chance. Lucky enough to create a world where everyone can be a protagonist of their own story (Maybe not everyone, but I tried my best), a world without a protagonist. --------------- Join the discord server. https://discord.gg/BaP4c8b8Vq The timeline will be determined through the votes of the readers in the server.

I'm Xavier Cromwell, a 21-year-old university student and web novel author. My days are pretty routine—attending classes, managing assignments, and squeezing in time to write my novel "RISE FROM THE ASHES". Today seemed no different, the steady clatter of my keyboard filling the room as I crafted another chapter. But then the doorbell rang, interrupting my flow. DING! I sighed, reluctantly pushing away from my desk and heading to the door. Little did I know, my life was about to take a turn I never saw coming. The moment I opened the door, something—or rather someone—came barreling into me. It was like a pink blur, and before I could even react, I was on the floor, knocked flat by what felt like a human missile. Clutching onto me, the pink rocket—no, a girl, her arms wrapped tightly around me—gazed up with sparkling eyes and, in the sweetest, most endearing voice, she whispered: "I've finally found you, my HUSBAND~" *** Note: The story takes place in an alternate earth, with a different geography and countries.

Excerpt: Ethan's eyes gleamed with amusement as he whispered in Ava's ear, "You know, wife, you're adorable when you're trying to be stern." He was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed, his gaze fixed on her with an intensity that made her heart race. Ava's eyes flashed with irritation, her cheeks flushing. "Ethan, stop teasing me. We need to focus on our plan." She tried to sound firm, but her voice trembled slightly, betraying her frustration. Ethan's grin only grew wider. "Oh, come on, Ava. You know I'm just trying to lighten the mood. You're so serious all the time." He pushed off the wall, his movements fluid and graceful, and took a step closer to her. Ava's hands clenched into fists, her voice firm. "This isn't a game, Ethan. Our lives are at stake. We can't afford to make mistakes." She tried to sound convincing, but her eyes kept drifting to his, and she couldn't help but notice the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled. Ethan's expression turned innocent, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Who says I'm not taking it seriously? Maybe I'm just trying to distract you from the tension between us." He raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on hers, and Ava felt her heart skip a beat. "There's no tension, Ethan. We're just allies in this marriage pact," she lied, trying to sound convincing. But her voice was barely above a whisper, and Ethan's knowing gaze made her feel like he could see right through her. Ethan's chuckle was low and husky. "Keep telling yourself that, Ava. But I see the way you look at me sometimes... like you're trying to resist a temptation." He took another step closer, his eyes locked onto hers, and Ava felt her pulse race. "I don't know what you're talking about," she lied again, trying to sound convincing. But her eyes darted away, betraying her. Ethan's whisper was soft, his breath caressing her ear. "Oh, but I think you do, Ava. And soon, you'll have to admit it." His words sent shivers down her spine, and Ava knew she was in danger of falling for her husband's charms, even though she refused to admit it. The air was charged with tension, their banter a delicate dance of denial and attraction. And in that moment, Ava knew she was walking a thin line between resistance and surrender.
