mystery

[WSA 2025 ENTRY] - This Novel is participating in the 2025 WebNovel Spirity Awards ^^ Due to unfortunate circumstances, "Ari" Ariel Matisse lived in the slums of Los Angeles, also known as Skid Row. One night, on his way home, he was killed while witnessing an old man getting beaten. When he woke up, he had been thrown into a dumpster, and a strange screen flashed across his eyes, and no matter how he looked at it, it reminded him of a status window in a game. [System Integration Complete!] [Become a Global Music Superstar!] For some reason, he gained a system that wanted him to join a survival show and become a globally famous idol. If he refused to complete his given tasks, he would die. But if he succeeded, he would have the money and power to change his life as well as get revenge against the person who killed him. P.s. this story is kind of a love letter to LA and the amazing blend of cultures (American, Asian, Hispanic, African, etc) that can be found there. I hope you all fall in love with the area as much as I love it.

Hsuya’s sharp brain finally cracked the mystery of his missing parents. Turns out they were from another world called Alexia and had slipped into Earth years ago. Upon their disappearance, he came across a System specifically built only for him, granting him unique skills and a way to travel between worlds. While Earth’s lack of mana limits his magical abilities, Hsuya uses his cold logic and dual-world advantage to crush every obstacle in his path. Posing as a background student at a magic academy, he secretly builds a hidden organization in Alexia and tries to achieve total supremacy. But like they say, “great power comes with great responsibilities.” Is the reason behind Hsuya gaining this immediate power really a coincidence, or is there something more behind it? Regardless of the truth, his motto remains the same: “I will obey no one ,not even the Gods ”

Sebuah peristiwa tak terduga membangkitkan kekuatan besar yang selama ini tertidur dalam dirinya-kekuatan yang berasal dari sesuatu yang lebih tua dari kehancuran dunia itu sendiri. Kekuatan yang dapat menjadi harapan atau justru malapetaka baru. Ketika dunia menutup mata terhadapnya, Storm memilih untuk melawan. Dengan tekad yang ditempa penderitaan dan sisa harapan yang hampir padam, ia melangkah ke garis depan pertempuran, menjadi cahaya di tengah langit yang dipenuhi kegelapan. Karena selama masih ada bintang yang bersinar, perlawanan tidak akan pernah berakhir.

Starcrash Signature The Starcrash Signature is a unique, multidimensional entity described as a song, spell, machine, curse, and living creature simultaneously. It exists "between the cracks in reality" and embodies a journey of transformation, cooperation, and self-exploration.

The story explores themes such as: Identity and self-discovery Interconnectedness of beings and universes The consequences of choices and wishes The tension between freedom and responsibility The Starcrash Signature is central to a narrative that blends cosmic fantasy, metaphysical speculation, and personal struggle, often described through poetic and abstract language that conveys its otherworldly nature.

He awakens in a new world. Not as a hero. Not as a chosen one. But as something… less. An orc. A monster. Something hunted. Something hated. He dies. Again. And again. And again. Each time, he is reborn into the same world— But as something different. An orc who unites tribes and becomes a legend A lizardman who discovers the ruins of his past life A goblin forced to survive in chaos A beast… a warrior… a king… a failure Time moves forward. Decades. Centuries. The world evolves. Magic spreads. Civilizations rise. Stories are told. And in those stories… A name appears again and again. A king. A monster. A god of war. A myth that refuses to die. But he doesn’t remember. Not at first. Only fragments remain: A battlefield that feels familiar A weapon that feels… right in his hand A strange sense of déjà vu Power that doesn’t belong to this body Until one day… It all comes back. Every life. Every death. Every scream. Every victory. And the truth hits him: He didn’t escape death. He became its prisoner. Now, with the power of countless lives flowing through him, he must answer one question: What is the price of never dying?

"You're the most callous person I've ever met!" I yelled. "It's not like you're a saint either, Siren." "Red," I correct him. Right when I thought he was inhuman, there was twinkle in his eye when I said this. Ever since the disappearance of his now non existing significant 'other. Nothing else mattered to him. So he thought at least. He was the monster in his favorite song, the repulsive one, he was the nostalgic, rare breed, that adored the smell of gasoline. She, oh she was the Siren. The exquisite in all man's eyes. She was known as the ray of danger... but she truly was a ray of sunshine. She, solemnly wanting a better future for herself. He, doing what he did best. He killed with no remorse. He lived for blood and pain And I just hoped I wasn't his next victim. What happens when a tornado and a volcano meet again? Find out

Different causes. Same ending. Now Liya has one impossible mission: Save the man she loves from a fate that keeps repeating. But the universe has its own rules. And the only way to break the time loop might be the one thing Liya can’t do— Let Ethan live a life where he never meets her. Some love stories last forever. This one resets every midnight.
