Elias wasn’t supposed to be special. He wasn’t chosen, blessed, reincarnated, or summoned. He simply woke up one day with a System window floating in front of his face: [Congratulations, User: You are now the Main Character.] And just like that, Elias is thrown into a chain of worlds—each one louder, crazier, and more dangerous than the last. Ninja assassins. Devil Fruit pirates. Hunters of the supernatural. Magic academies filled with betrayal. Cyberpunk megacities ruled by data tyrants. Cultivators seeking immortality. Gods who forged the first stories. At first, it’s… fun. Plot Armor turns every near-death moment into slapstick luck. Meta-knowledge keeps him from becoming cannon fodder. The System rewards him simply for playing the role of “protagonist.” But every story has consequences. Elias’s meddling—tiny at first—begins to warp entire timelines. Villains that were meant to fall rise instead. Heroes who should have triumphed fail because he accidentally stepped into their spotlight. Worlds tremble from narrative distortions they were never meant to endure. And something ancient notices. The Narrative Weaver. The architect of every world Elias has stepped into. A cosmic being tired of watching its stories unravel. To stop him, the Weaver unites a council of villains Elias has inconvenienced—furious antagonists armed with anti-tropes and narrative weapons capable of killing a Main Character before his Plot Armor can activate. Elias suddenly must fight not just battles… …but story logic itself. As he dives deeper into the multiverse, Elias uncovers the truth behind his System: It was forged by a failed Main Character who wanted to create the perfect story—and instead built a cage made of plotlines and destiny. Worse, Elias discovers a chilling secret: Plot Armor has a weakness. A scenario where even the Main Character can die. Now hunted across realities, Elias must decide who he wants to be: A protected pawn of the System? A hero defined by someone else’s script? Or an author rewriting the rules of existence? His final battle won’t be fought with swords or magic— but with narrative itself. To win, Elias must trap the Narrative Weaver inside a trope even it cannot escape. And in the end, he’ll face the ultimate choice:

Demonic beings run rampant, and cultivators revere the bizarre as the Heavenly Dao. For an ordinary mortal to embark on the path of cultivation, they must gouge out their eyes, sever their limbs, and cut off their spiritual roots… Ren Qing, who transmigrated into this world, discovers that he can bypass the gruesome costs of cultivation thanks to a Divine Ability.

After transmigrating into a high-martial arts world where everyone was built like an elite athlete, Chen Kuang also obtained a golden finger, a cheat ability that refreshes daily, allowing him to stack passive skills. He figured he should keep a low profile and grow steadily while lying low... But the world had other plans. People just wouldn’t stop treating him inhumanely and so his passives kept piling up. [Flesh Reishi]: Your flesh is nearly infinitely regenerative and rivals celestial treasures, consuming it can prolong life and cure ailments. [Sword Heart]: You possess an innate, enlightened sword heart, when a blade is in your hand, it becomes an extension of your will.

[Celestial Visage]: Your handsomeness rivals that of the divine. This year... The future empress who would dominate the world was still a helpless orphaned brat, tucked under Chen Kuang’s arm as he fled. The revered "Benevolent Immortal" faced his trolley problem and was forever burdened with an inescapable heart demon. The undying demonic sovereign was just a timid little maid serving a courtesan. The White Dragon True Monarch, who would later slaughter his way through the demon race, was still nothing more than a drifting piece of frayed rope. And Chen Kuang, then a death-row convict, set the chaotic world ablaze, starting with a single torch.

Growing up, life seemed ordinary… until reality itself began to fracture. Pulled into visions and shadows that twist the world around them, the chosen few must navigate dangers that exist both in dreams and in waking life. Every step could be a trap, every shadow a threat, and nothing is truly what it seems. As nightmares bleed into reality, they must survive horrors that test their mind, body, and soul — and face truths that may be too terrible to endure. The Ash Eyes saga is a journey through fear, shadow, and the fragile line between dreams and reality, where every chapter could be the last and every nightmare is only the beginning.

Now, as he lay empty, with his family taken away from him, he sought revenge on the ones who did it. And what better timing than for a levelling system to appear.

College student Takumi woke up one morning in the body of an unimportant extra in God of Desire, shocked and horrified to find himself stuck in an NTR story he only read for a laugh.

Every time he tries to escape involvement, he's inexplicably dragged into one chaotic situation after another, creating unforeseen consequences.

The program utilizes a VR pod to immerse users in a world based on a popular cartoon from Japan. As the other participants—a mix of personalities with varying degrees of Japanese animation knowledge—prepare to enter the simulation, Arthur remains the only one who has never indulged in it. Upon entering this new world, he discovers an unsettling truth: pain is excruciatingly real despite Elysium’s claims of a dampened pain response.

Selena Ward had been pacing for almost an hour, her hands shaking as she clutched the emergency report the nurse handed her. Her mother had collapsed again—only this time, she didn’t wake up. A doctor finally stepped out of the ICU. “Miss Ward… we need to operate immediately. She has internal bleeding. Without surgery, her chances are very low.” Selena swallowed, her voice barely a whisper. “H-how much?” The doctor hesitated. “A little over ten million naira.” Ten million. She didn’t even have ten thousand. Her legs felt weak. Her vision blurred. Ten million might as well have been a hundred billion. She had no relatives, no savings, and the landlord was already threatening to kick them out. “Please,” she begged, “can’t you do the surgery and I’ll pay later?” “We can’t. Hospital policy.” Selena felt her world collapsing in slow motion. She pressed her hand against her mouth and walked back to the hallway, tears burning her eyes. She didn’t notice the tall man standing at the far end of the corridor until she walked right past him and heard a deep, cold voice: “Miss Ward.” She froze. Slowly, she turned. The man approaching her looked out of place in the shabby hospital—tall, sharply dressed, and intimidatingly handsome. His aura alone made people step aside. He stopped in front of her, eyes unreadable. “Jace… Ariston?” she whispered. She had seen him once before—when she worked a small catering job at one of his company’s events. The billionaire CEO who people whispered about like he was some rumored storm. “Yes.” His tone was cool, controlled. “I heard your mother was admitted.” Selena frowned. “Why would you care?” “Because,” he said, slipping his hands into his pockets, “I came to offer you a deal.” Her heart raced. “What kind of deal?” “A marriage contract.” Selena almost laughed. Almost. But she was too tired, too broken. “Is this a joke?” “No,” he replied, voice dangerously calm. “I need a wife. Immediately.” She stared at him, not sure if the shock or confusion was stronger. Jace continued, expression sharp as glass. “My grandfather’s inheritance can only be claimed by a married heir. I need someone—someone with no ties, no scandals, no family interference.” Selena felt her stomach twist. “And why me?” His gaze slid down to her trembling hands, then back to her eyes. “Because you’re desperate enough to accept. And because I can offer you what you need.”

Born of both Uchiha and Senju lineage, Chiba is a child of two legendary clans—yet he is rejected by both. The Uchiha refuse to acknowledge him, denying him their name. The Senju, long faded from Konoha's power structure, offer him no support. Isolated by the very village he once vowed to protect, Chiba grows up as an outcast, neither embraced by the clan system nor accepted by the people of Konoha. When Chiba's older brother, Chiyu, launches a rebellion against the Hidden Leaf on his own, the village is quick to lay all blame on him. Sarutobi Hiruzen: "You were the one who swore loyalty to this village, Chiyu. Why abandon us now?" Shimura Danzō: "You little brat... you dare to manipulate Root behind my back?" Namikaze Minato: "How are you able to keep up with my Flying Thunder God Technique?!" Chiyu: "You call me a traitor... but wasn't I cast out long before I turned my back on the village?”

After her grandfather's death, Bai Hanyun was disowned by her parents and cast out of the Bai family. With nowhere else to go, she left the city and returned to the countryside. There, by a twist of fate, she discovered an antique mirror hidden in the basement of her newly purchased home. From that moment on, strange events began to unfold—until one day, she stumbled upon a prayer from a young general.

Alpha Albert, with the scent of gardenias, falls into a post-apocalyptic world overrun by beast-men, reduced to a near-death drifter. Yet he catches the eye of Hayes, the strongest snow leopard mutant—his cool, heady fragrance becomes an irresistible temptation even to the feline powerhouse. From then on, the irritable Commander remains icy and aloof by day, but at night presses his nose to Albert’s nape: “Move again and I’ll bite you.” Albert gazes at the leopard’s tail wrapped tightly around his waist, and chuckles: “Sir, your tail is wrapped too tightly.”
