Rubix was once a top-ranked assassin of a powerful secret organization, until she uncovered a truth she was never meant to know. She was then hunted down and brutally killed by the very people she had once trusted...

As she struggles to rebuild her life in the entertainment world, fragments of her memories begin to surface, along with some secrets tied to her new identity. And just when things couldn’t get more complicated, she finds herself entangled with a powerful and dangerous man who may be the key to uncovering the truth… or the one who destroys her completely.

Strategic MC • Kingdom Building • Divine System • Ruthless Protagonist • Empire Growth The world of Theos Online was a battlefield of gods. Players built civilizations, shaped faith, and waged divine wars for supremacy. At the top stood Zephyr — Rank One. Untouchable. Calculating. Ruthless. He didn’t just win. He engineered inevitability. But in the real world, anonymity is fragile. When his identity is exposed, a coordinated smear campaign tears his life apart, stripping him of reputation, future, and finally — breath. Death was supposed to be the end. Instead, he awakens in another world. Different sky. Different history. Same Divine System. The rules that governed Theos Online now govern reality itself. While others pray to survive, Zephyr understands the code beneath the gods. He knows the exploits. The hidden mechanics. The logic no one else sees. He may not know this world’s past. But he knows exactly how to conquer its future. From a starving village to a rising divine empire, Zephyr will bend faith into machinery, turn belief into power, and reduce rival gods to footnotes in history. The game is gone. The system remains. And this time, there are no respawns.

“If you hear the flute,” the villagers said, “turn away before it remembers your name.” Shen Qiyao didn’t. The melody that drifted through the bamboo was too familiar — like a dream he’d already lost. “Who are you?” he whispered to the shadows. The answer came as music.

The horror game 'Obelisk Aperion' descended on the world just a few years ago, but it has already killed countless people and broadcast their gruesome deaths live to the entire world, making a mockery of the living.

I was trapped… Trapped in a place I had never truly belonged to before. Among friends. I thought I would finally enjoy my new life, but I never knew it would come with conditions. I found someone who truly loved me… but he was never meant to be mine. And the one who showed me love. I never knew if it was real or just another illusion. Bound by friendship, I slowly found myself standing in the same place I had been four years ago. Back when loneliness was all I knew. When I needed love the most, I never received it. And when love finally found me… My life had already given up. And just when everything finally started becoming okay… Fate whispered to me, “Now close your eyes.” The person I fell in love with… the person who fell in love with me… What we had was never just love. We were both broken in our own ways. Yet somehow, we understood each other better than anyone else ever could. And when I finally realized who I truly wanted in my life… Everything changed.

"You will suffice." That's what whispered in Raizen's mind the night a Nyx slaughtered his village - right before the creature dissolved into golden ash at his feet. He doesn't know what spoke. He doesn't know why it chose him, or why it led him to an unconscious girl in the forest with no memory of who she is. All he knows is his parents are dead, his home is gone, and he's too weak to do anything about it. So he runs to the only place that'll take him: the Underworks. An underground city of rust and desperate souls living below Neoshima's gleaming walls, where Nyx hunters - Gravers - buy chipped weapons with their last coins and drag themselves back from contracts with missing limbs. Where a few come back and most disappear in the dark alleys. But Takeshi - a scarred veteran and legendary assassin with a mechanical arm and a wall full of mysteries - takes him in. Gives him a roof. Gives him a chance. Introduces him to the Rust Room, where a former Phalanx warrior named Kori teaches him the deadliest of weapons are nothing without the deadliest of techniques. Then Takeshi gives him a choice: stay in the Underworks and become another Graver with a death wish, or aim higher. Train for the Lotus Academy - where Vanguards learn to master Eon, the mysterious force that turns ordinary fighters into the only ones who can truly fight nightmares and live to see more. But the voice that saved him hasn't spoken since that night. And Raizen's starting to realize - it's still watching.

“The universe is vast and boundless; the Dao is unpredictable.” Lin Beichen was reborn into a parallel world, and a mysterious and profound voice echoed in his mind. Though he didn't have a system, he unexpectedly discovered his Heaven-Defying Comprehension and could perceive everything at a glance. “How should I utilize my Heaven-Defying Comprehension?” Until one rainy day. The deluge poured down, Electric Flash intertwined with Lei Ming, and Lin Beichen gazed out the window in a daze. In that moment, inspiration struck, and his heart resonated with a profound sensation. He slowly stretched out his hand, opened his palm, and looked toward the thunderous sky. He began to clasp one finger toward the heavens and the earth. “In this world, there was no Cultivation Method. But since I am here, one should naturally appear!” “Palm Thunder!” [ps: A unique protagonist-centered cultivation genre]

In modern Estmere, where supply lines fracture, coastlines fail, and old certainties keep collapsing, plant biologist Maya Reeves finds a mango seedling growing impossibly well in her apartment window. The tree is not ordinary. It is conscious, patient, and quietly becoming the centre of a cultivation system the modern world has forgotten. When Maya forms the first heartwood connection, she and her family begin a disciplined, secret practice built on daily sessions, careful observation, and trust. The loop between practitioner and tree refines energy for both sides, but only within strict limits, and every gain must be earned. As parents, grandparents, children, and even one very particular cat join the network, small domestic routines become the front line of survival. Then a planetary catastrophe strips away the world's remaining margins of safety, and the family realises their advantage may be unique. To protect one another, they must build knowledge, choose methods they can live with, and grow stronger without losing what makes them a family. Bearing Fruit is a grounded literary xianxia about cultivation in a declining modern world: precise in its mechanics, intimate in its emotions, and rooted in the quiet power of choosing each other, day after day.
