They expected a cute little daughter who would run into their arms crying.Instead, they found Maya. -------★★------ Maya is an orphan living quietly in a small rented house in the countryside. She has no money. No powerful background no legendary bloodline. At least, that's what she thinks. She has no idea her birth certificate is basically a hidden treasure map.She is just trying to survive her ordinary life. Unfortunately...the universe looked at her peaceful existence and said: "That seems too easy. Let's add some chaos." --------- One day at school, Maya meets Mahi Sunaina—the terrifyingly influential head of the Sunaina family. Everything seems normal. Until Maya notices the bracelet on Mahi's hand.Her only thought was: "I think I am doomed." Wait a minute... why does this feel like a suspiciously important plot device? And just like that...Her quiet life ends. 'Congratulations, Maya.' You have unlocked the 'Secret Rich Family Daughter' achievement. Rewards include: - Confused relatives. - Endless family drama. - And absolutely no peaceful days. ---------- The Sunaina family finally gets their missing daughter back.But they soon realize something terrifying. The little girl they lost 14 years ago is gone, the person standing before them is someone completely different. Maya is intelligent, she is suspicious of everyone.Her trust level is lower than a villain's chance of staying dead after a dramatic final battle. The family wanted their daughter back. They got a mystery instead. ______ This world may look like a beautiful romance fantasy. A world filled with destiny, miracles and characters who somehow always meet at the perfect dramatic moment. But Maya knows the truth, She knows how this story ends. So, she has one simple response:"No." -------- From now on, everyone is a piece on the board. Family members? Potential allies. Enemies?

TAG: Female MC SCHEDULE: 1–2 Chapters / Week CHAPTER LENGTH: 3000–4500 words ----------- WARNING: Maya is not a hero. She is not a perfect angel who forgives everyone after one emotional speech. She is not the kind of protagonist who sees someone crying and immediately says, "Don't worry, I will save you!" Her first thought is more likely: "How is this my problem?" She is cynical, complicated, and definitely not a walking sunshine generator. She may even make you ask: "Am I supposed to support her plan or call someone?" If you want a sweet protagonist who helps everyone in trouble......This is probably not your cup of tea. But if you want to watch a girl with a complicated past challenge destiny, family drama, and the ridiculous rules of a fantasy world....Welcome. The chaos begins here. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ I am a new writer, so please forgive any spelling or grammar mistakes. I am still learning, improving, and trying to make this story better with every chapter.Writing a story is easy...Until grammar appears as the final boss. I hope you enjoy the chaos.

“Life is nothing but a cruel game… and we are its unwilling players.” — Ethan Heart --- After living a miserable life cornered from every direction, Ethan expected nothing good from the world anymore. He was a failure .. good at nothing. A burden. Treated like human trash by society. And yet… he was exceptional at one thing. Games. That single talent earned him a name as the owner of one of the most prominent games streaming channels in the scene. Sheltered within his safe space as a gaming addict, Ethan never imagined his life would be turned upside down— The moment he became the first person in history to finish the impossible game… Ordeal. A dark Souls-like RPG with brutal, unforgiving difficulty and a living world that punished players for every mistake. “I saw the ending to the game no one was able to clear. But, when I came to my senses, I was inside of the game” The story of Ordeal was one of despair. The Apocalypse descended. And the Night Lord shattered the Light into fragments. The Curse of Night spread across the world, corrupting all living things—twisting them into grotesque abominations known as Night Walkers, monsters that ravaged everything in their path. In this ruined world, a select group of humans awakened powers resembling game systems. To survive, they must slay monsters, absorb souls, and grow stronger in a merciless world that devours the weak. Ethan became the final summoned player. Forced to walk through Ordeal once again... This time not as a gamer… But as a participant. He must reach the ending that none before him could attain. “No matter how impossible it seems… I will conquer this game...!” Armed with complete knowledge of the world’s secrets, the instincts of a veteran player .. And the forbidden pact he forged with a Devil .. Ethan begins his journey. --- Blessings obtained: [The Legendary Weapons Master] [Class Change at Will] [The Demon’s Body] [The Blood of the Old Gods] [Insight of the Wise Raven] [Aura of the Lord of Night] With the ability to forge weapons from the souls of those he kills .. each imbued with terrifying ash of war , Ethan becomes the Legendary Weapons Master. But every deal has a price. Each blessing he gained came with a curse. And now, his body is a vessel for darkness. Can Ethan achieve what no living being has ever accomplished? Or will he become just another soul swallowed by the Night? --- Tags: #Evolution #System #NoHarem ... Join the Discord for character illustrations and more : discord: https://discord.gg/uNrXRgS3Xb

Pablo Drake is dying. No one can name the disease consuming him. No one knows how to cure it. Most refuse to speak of it at all. Pablo refuses to accept that. In a world of magic and Treasures born from the human soul, he searches desperately for anything that might buy him another day. Every answer draws him deeper into a reality where dreams are punished, pain is easier to bury than face, and saying “that’s enough” has never made anything stop. He will lie. He will fight. He will cling to anyone who makes tomorrow feel possible. Because Pablo does not want to die nobly. He wants to live. But his illness is not an accident. It began with something he did to survive, and curing it will mean confronting the one truth he built his entire life to escape. If survival means waking up, will Pablo still choose to live? --- In the year 497 AS, three years before the promised prophecy is said to be fulfilled, Pablo must set out to sea and discover his destiny. He'll meet wonderful characters, make alliances, and upset some people. He must use and master his Treasure in order to keep going, even if he doesn't know why.

The stars are beacons in the sky; they burn ever so bright, illuminating the universe. But with light there must come darkness. The world may seem like a beautiful place shrouded in brilliant light, filled with love and prosperity. But beneath that beauty, there is blood; beneath that light, there is darkness; and beneath that love, there is pain. The central world is known as Clara Astrum, a realm of adventure and mystery. A world full of marvellous sights, towering mountains, and vast oceans. A world where dreams were held, and legends were created. But that was not where I was born. I was born in the world below, the one known as Mortuus Lux, the world of decay. There was no light, no stars; all we had was the flickering heart. I suffered like the rest, I fought to survive, and I evolved by devouring my brothers and sisters. There is no such thing as companionship here, only one's own strength. The weak perish while the strong delay the inevitable. I embrace my demise because with death, I will be free. I embrace life because with every encounter, I shed a thread of weakness. My name is Luna, a demon born in Mortuus Lux, raised in blood and war, and burdened with my own destined death.

Living a rather mundane life, William Sigerson, a rising detective, finds himself tangled in a secretive mastermind's scheme to bring destruction to his world, changing his life forever. Wrongly framed as the culprit while investigating the crimes, he must first escape the clutches of the Enforcers, before leaving his country to form his own counterattack against the enemy.  Unfortunately for Sigerson, the opponent he's up against is far beyond his expectations. Alliances snap, war erupts, and chaos takes over the world, as he struggles to adapt to the constant fighting between countries with rebels and smaller criminal gangs all struggling among themselves to gain power for themselves. Sudden technological advancements cause steam-powered machinery to roam the land. Zeppelins fly around like giant balloons, wreaking havoc. Giant metallic war machines shred through towns with ease. Soldiers ravage through the once peaceful lands of Ecclesia and Revalty alike, destroying towns and cities as the leaders of both countries go back and forth in the war, exchanging blows like chess pieces. Seeking shelter in a neighbouring country seems safe... until he finds out that everything had been planned from the beginning in order to trap him there. To defeat the demon pulling the strings, he must change his mindset to win. To dominate. Even if it means becoming a demon himself. WHAT TO EXPECT: A smart MC who doesn't act like a genius in one scene then finds himself outsmarted by a toddler Strategy.

He was born different, and he did not want the throne. But sometimes, life is all about fate, and inevitability. Or a grandpa whose scheme extends beyond his grave. . . . Their first meeting? She broke into his apartment and tied him to a chair. Of course she got what she wanted, but not the last laugh, ending up tied to him in what could only be called a forced engagement. After all, only if she was his other half should she share his misfortune with him, right? Right? So… “Grandp– Grandpa, you have screwed me over.” “Of course not.” “But–” “No but. You are my favorite grandson, how can I not want what is best for you?” “You tied me to the woman who tortured me and most probably planned to kill me! And you say that is the best for me?” “Oh, don't overdramatize things, grandson. We both know you just played along.” “...” “Anyway, the red string has already been tied. There is nothing that can be done anymore.” “Gramps–” “Shuuut, go away. I’m already dead, stop bothering me.” “Gramps–” “There, there… Go, fate is waiting for you.” “Arghhh… Damn you, old man!!!” “Hehehe… You will thank me later.” "ARGHHHHH!!! DAMN YOU OLD MAN!!!”

This is the untold story of a Silver-Eyed Warrior — a hero erased from history, yet instrumental in shaping it. This brave soul faced the ultimate darkness with unwavering courage, forging a path that would have far-reaching consequences for generations to come. Set almost one thousand years prior to the events of RWBY, this tale unfolds in a world where mighty nations reign supreme, their grandeur fueled by the power of Dust and steam. Against this backdrop of glory, the once-legendary role of the Huntsmen has faded into myth, reduced to whispers of ancient tales told around campfires or in hushed tones between village elders. Few believe such heroes truly existed, dismissing them as mere fairytales spun to entertain children. Yet, against this backdrop of skepticism and doubt, an elite group of Huntsmen - those who have dedicated their lives to vanquishing the Grimm - continue to wage a secret war against these malevolent entities. Their battles are fought in the shadows, far from the prying eyes of the common folk, who view them as relics of a bygone era. At the heart of this conflict lies the enigmatic Grimm Count, a mysterious force that seeks to spread his dark influence across the land. As the stakes grow higher, our hero must confront the shadows within and without, testing his mettle against the forces of darkness in a battle for the very survival of their world.
