Don't need to send any castle, just read and enjoy! --- In a world where failure is almost guaranteed, the game I now find myself in has a staggering 99.9% chance of defeat. Every choice brings chaos, and every road leads to disaster. No one has ever beaten it—it's infamous for being impossible to clear. But somehow, against all odds, I've transmigrated into this cursed game. Worse yet, I've taken over the body of Max, a minor character whose role is insignificant in the grand scheme of things. In the original story, Max is destined to die—nothing more than a forgettable extra lost in the background, a mere footnote in the epic tale of others. Frustration hit me hard as I realized I was trapped in this dead-end character. My doom felt inevitable, and every instinct told me to give up. What hope did I have in a world where even the strongest could barely survive? But just as despair was about to swallow me whole, a System suddenly activated, turning everything on its head. Along with the System came a peculiar ability: [Charm] It wasn't some overpowered skill designed for combat or survival. No, it was something entirely different, yet equally powerful in its own right. [Charm: Increase favorability as more women are captivated by your presence.] This was my key to survival. Through this strange, almost ridiculous skill, I realized that I could change my fate. The powerful female characters, once unreachable in the original storyline, could now be influenced. If I could make them favor me, their strength, influence, and protection would be mine. But it wouldn’t be easy. Each of these women had their own complex personalities, histories, and goals. They were dangerous, capable of crushing me in an instant if I misstepped. But with charm on my side, I might just be able to win them over—and in doing so, alter my destiny. What was once a game of certain death had now become a gamble of life and affection. Every conversation, every interaction, would determine whether I live or die. My charm was my weapon, and it would be the only thing standing between me and the grim fate that awaited Max. Now, with my new plan in motion, I’ll have to navigate the intricate web of relationships and alliances while avoiding the countless threats looming over me. The odds are still stacked against me, but for the first time since I arrived, I can see a glimmer of hope. If I can make the right moves, charm the right people, and avoid the pitfalls, I might just survive this nightmare. Or better yet, thrive. This is my one chance at life in a world of inevitable ruin, and I’ll do whatever it takes to change my story. ---

Everyone realised, the world will come to an end after those things suddenly began to appear, the sky turned red with clouds turning black unlike it's usual while colour.

In a world ruled by strength, cultivation, and influence, what happens when one man alone holds the power to change everything? "Welcome to the world..." Alaric, born into the family of a Duke, was believed to be just another child. But there’s nothing ordinary about him. Strength is only a fraction of... his oddity. [Nascent One's Guide.] One morning, Alaric awakens to a life-altering power—and a boner. Alaric isn’t ambitious, far from it. He couldn’t care less about strength, fame, or power. If given the choice, he’d spend every moment with the people he loves, doing absolutely nothing. But his obsession with enjoying his life with his loved ones? It grabs him by the collar and drags him toward greatness, forcing him into a world where strength is the only way to survive. “Father... you're their target, aren’t you?” Alaric won’t allow anyone to even think of harming his family. His pursuit of power isn’t for glory or status—it’s for protection. For them. Follow Alaric’s journey as he unravels the truth of the world and climbs to the top, driven not by ambition, but by a relentless need to keep his loved ones safe—no matter the cost.

At some point in the future, technology and human greed together pushed the world to the brink of collapse. Floating cities in the sky became the refuge for elites, while the surface world turned into ruins, leaving only the remnants of humanity struggling to survive. “Stardust and Memories” unfolds in such a broken future. The book tells the story of Eno, a once-hopeful scientist who lost his beloved fiancée, Aelia, in an accident, along with his faith in creating a better future for humanity. Aelia’s death not only altered the course of his life but also plunged him into endless regret and pain. His only hope is to use a mysterious device—the Memory Recaller—to return to the past and change that fateful moment, saving Aelia’s life. However, the price of this journey is far heavier than he ever imagined. “Stardust and Memories” is not only a science fiction novel set in a future world but also a profound exploration of time, love, and redemption. As Eno continually seeks to reverse the past, he discovers that true salvation lies not in changing what has happened, but in how to face the present, how to endure loss, and how to choose a new path for the future. In this story, the coldness of technology intertwines with the warmth of human emotions, and the characters’ emotional conflicts become even more vivid against the backdrop of a bleak future. Whether it’s the undying love between Eno and Aelia or his partnership with Sena as they face an uncertain future together, every relationship carries the weight of human struggle and hope in the darkest of times. “Stardust and Memories” explores the passage of time, the irreversibility of memory, and the resilience and courage humans display when faced with the unpredictability of fate. We all have moments when we wish we could change the past, but this book reminds us that sometimes, the real strength lies not in returning to the past but in how we embrace the present and choose to face the future. This book is dedicated to those who seek hope in the midst of pain and find their way forward through loss. It is my hope that Eno’s story will resonate with a part of the reader’s heart, reminding us that every moment of loss is the starting point for our journey into the future.
