What would you do if the only man you ever loved— the one who broke your heart was also your only chance to rebuild your life? Lanxie Amani Gonzales was a sensation. The bar exam topnotcher who smashed records with a brilliance that captivated the nation. Fame embraced her, fed her ambition, and promised her everything. But fame is a cruel, fleeting god. And when it abandons you, it leaves nothing but ashes. Now, Lanxie is a forgotten name. No clients. No allies. Her once-glorious career reduced to a suffocating silence drowned by whispers of arrogance and irrelevance. But the hunger to rise from the wreckage burns hotter than ever. Then he returns. Xander Dakarai Zamora. The nation’s most powerful celebrity— untouchable, adored, a king of the silver screen. Until a scandal erupts. His love team partner accuses him of unforgivable crime, and the world turns against him. His empire crumbles with brutal speed. And in his darkest hour, he seeks her— the lawyer the world discarded. Lanxie once harbored a hopeless, secret love for Dakarai. She buried it deep, believing she had moved on. But his presence awakens emotions she swore she’d forgotten. Accepting his case could redeem her or destroy her. But refusing him means surrendering to failure forever. Thrust into a ruthless world of lies, betrayal, and shattered reputations, Lanxie fights to unearth the truth. But Dakarai’s gaze burns through her defenses— bold, desperate, and intoxicating. “Win me, Attorney.”

DESTINY GAMES. It has been 85 years since Earth-11 became aligned with Yggdrasil and 73 years since Icon became the first demigod from Earth. Icon, as the first demigod, was privileged to weave the thread of fate for everyone. He was supposed to cut off Yggdrasil and free Earth-11 from the grasps of the other Earths and their god kings. That's why everyone helped him climb the tower of Destiny. But instead of ridding earth of Yggdrasil, he turned the destiny of mankind into seven rings of immortality.  The first ring was for the immortality of power. The second was for the immortality of the knowledge. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth were for the immortality of the mind, energy, body, and soul. The last ring, the ring of the paragon, was made to rule them all.  Icon kept the ring of the paragon for himself and became a dictator. He ruled with an iron fist for many years. His was a reign of terror. But he was eventually vanquished by the collective effort of the world.  It has been 62 years since then. Icon is no more, but the damage he had done still remains. Earth-11 is still connected to Yggdrasil. The deadly games of the Tower of Destiny still remain, and the fight for the seven rings of immortality still continues.  Kelvin Thorn has just awakened his ability. It came at a good time too since he is running for his life. The ability he awakened saved him, but it came with a cost. He must climb the tower of destiny under the witness of the whole world and accumulate destiny, or he will die.  His situation is not unique. Everyone that awakens, which is mostly everyone, must climb the tower of destiny. It is one of the curses that Icon left behind before he died. But Thorn is different because the seventh ring found him.  The tower of destiny is where everyone granted power by destiny, be they humans, non-humans, or otherworlders, must fight in games of might, skill, and knowledge to gather the power of destiny. They will either die or eventually overcome death. Kelvin will be one of the latest in the line of billions of others in this struggle. DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/Ku2gqaHz

In a world of constant competition, one man aims for the top. In this new genre VRMMORPG, he plans on becoming the strongest at all costs. The classes, the races, the starting zones, everything is a mystery in 'New Eden'. This game is coming out without a shred of details. The only thing that was promoted was the freedom of skill choosing. Our protagonist Alexander, gamer tag Astaroth, has always dreamt of becoming an E-Sports athlete. His parents supported his dream, but they are no longer of this world. He fully intends on making it in this new game, if not for him, then at least to honor their memory. With no idea how he wants to play his character, Alexander chooses the most mysterious starting race. Will this be his road to success or his downfall? The game assistant certainly thought the latter. "Do as you wish, young adventurer. I only wish to add this. Do not come back with complaints when you realize you have made the wrong choice," the elf said, looking at him with clear hatred. "We will see about that," Alexander flatly replied. "I love challenges," he added. "Very well!" the elf harrumphed. "Have the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last," he sarcastically added. Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships. But one thing is clear in his eyes. He will become the strongest player in the game, even if he must step over mountains of corpses to do so. Over are his days of working hard for nothing, it's make or break now! I now have a discord where you can talk with other readers and me. There are also channels to discuss new weapons; characters; classes; or monsters that you might want to design and see incorporated in the story. I will always give credit to the person that created said thing, rest assured. The link is https://discord.gg/68kPqbSFrN

Cydal was born from the Vessel of Darkness, a devil trapped between the world of the living and the dead. Cursed to be nothing more than his future vessel, Cydal's body was meant to mature and host Darkness's return to conquer Earth. But Darkness wasn't patient enough to wait. To feed his boredom, he created a twisted VR survival game, where the most desperate souls are given quests to kill each other for a wish. Yet, while others played for survival, Cydal entered the game for one reason — to hunt down his creator and kill the devil that made him. In a world where death is entertainment and survival is temporary, can a cursed child defy fate and escape the hands of darkness?

[This book is complete] Everyone is playing a regal game. Everyone except Lucia (who probably should). After her father faced accusations of trying to seize the throne from his father and king, he was exiled along with his family. They were no longer royalty, but his wife would not have it. She was friends with the queen of Vershia and used that to her advantage. Her two older daughters were the right age to marry the two princes, and she would make that happen come what may. That became a problem when the oldest daughter was ignored by the crown prince, who formed a friendship with the youngest of the girls. There was still hope; Lucia could become the future queen. But Lucia was not groomed for this role. She did not want to live for the type of marriage she could snag. She did not want to take the man who had been planned for her sister. But that’s the thing with plans, isn’t it? She never planned to fall in love with the man, and there she was: an unwilling participant in the regal games. Would she capture the crown? How would everything affect her relationship with her sister? Was there ever pleasing her mother? [WSA 2024 Entry]
