What if this former plaything becomes the ultimate threat to causality itself? Witness as Xiao compels both the living and the departed to chant his name... Until the very cosmos quakes in awe of his might and fear of his name......

Evelyn Walters was the perfect heiress, until one reckless night with her father’s greatest enemy ruined everything. Pregnant, disgraced, and cast out of the Walters family, she left with nothing but her unborn child. Years later, she's survived. But as a single mother, the life she built was fragile until the man from her past discovered the truth. Now he wants her and his son. But how can Evelyn trust the father of her child... when he's also the enemy of the man who raised her? **** Excerpt: "B-Boss... the woman you slept with that night... she wasn't the supermodel the company just signed," Dylan stammered, his voice trembling. Axel's brow furrowed even further. He tried digging through the hazy, alcohol-soaked memories of that night.  Of course, he remembered the party. He remembered the whiskey. But the woman? Nope. His brain served up a blank slate. "Who was she?" Dylan swallowed. "The first daughter of William Walters." "Cough! Cough!" Axel coughed violently, his face turning red and eyes wide with shock. He never thought that woman would end up in his bed.  --- Curiosity won, as always. Evelyn grabbed the remote and hit the power button. The screen lit up, and her jaw dropped. Her eyes went wide, as if the Grim Reaper himself had just stepped out of the TV to ask for her phone number. “What the…? Why does my personal source of misery pop up the second I turn this thing on?” Because there he was, Axel Knight, gliding out of his luxury car like some corporate deity on his way to a business banquet. Evelyn scrambled for the remote to turn it off, but of course, fate had other plans. Axel turned to the camera and gave a casual wave, acknowledging the paparazzi vultures lined up outside. She hated to admit it, but the man looked sinfully good in his signature black suit and high turtleneck, his sleek black hair framing a face that could stop traffic and quite possibly her breathing. Then, suddenly, her stomach clenched. Her hand instinctively rubbed her flat belly. “Little tenant, did you just say you recognize him?”

Pulled to New York by a mysterious twin he never knew, Kael finds himself trapped in his brother's life, forced to assume the role of being married to an Alpha of a prestigious family, where he must uncover why his twin vanished and why someone is now trying to kill him.

What happens to a soul when it reaches the end of its timeline? Religions talk about the afterlife or reincarnation. Science might say the soul just disappears. Some believe spirits wander the world, bodiless, doomed to drift for eternity. Well, I’ve seen all of that happen firsthand. But enough of the deep talk—you’re probably wondering who I am. You might know me as The Crying Child or C.C.—the name the news gave me. But my real name is Chris Afton. Just Chris is fine. Now, why am I telling you this? Simple. If you die under... let’s say, “less than ideal” circumstances—whether by accident (like me) or by murder (not naming names, Dad), there’s a chance you end up here. In a strange, chaotic realm known as Gensokyo. And let me tell you—this place is one hell of a ride. I should be moving on, right? Except I can’t. For some reason, Gensokyo thinks Cassidy and I were born here. So, we’re stuck. Limbo? Purgatory? Call it whatever you want. It’s mostly peaceful... kind of. Also, for some reason, we've aged. Now we're both 18, mentally and physically, despite me dying in the freakin’ 1980s. And Michael, if I ever get out of here, I don’t care if you’re in Heaven or Hell—I will drag you out myself just to yell at you. What kind of big brother thinks shoving my head into Golden Freddy’s mouth is a good prank?! Oh, and one last thing—why are all these girls attracted to me?! Cassidy, help! ---- MC: Chris Evan Afton Second MC: Cassidy Ship: Chris X Harem

Su Qinglan sat cross-legged on the grass, holding the chubbiest tiger cub she’d ever seen. “Aww… Look at you,” she whispered, booping its tiny nose. “So cute I could eat you up...” A sudden shadow loomed over her. “What’s so good about this stinky cub?” a deep, amused voice asked. She blinked up… and froze. Towering above her was a tall tiger beast man, his golden eyes narrowed in a lazy, predatory smile. “Let’s have ours,” he said. Su Qinglan’s brain short-circuited. … Ours? OURS?! Before she could process, in the next moment she was hoisted up onto his broad shoulder like a sack of grain and carried straight toward the cave. Su Qinglan was so choked by the suddenness of it all… she forgot to even complain. *** Su Qinglan’s knees knocked together as she stared up at the enormous serpent. Its cold, red eyes narrowed, the flick of its tongue tasting the air between them. “D-Don’t eat me,” she stammered, hugging herself. “I...I’m not tasty… really, I’m stringy and full of… uh… bad cholesterol.” The snake’s head lowered until it was mere inches from her face. Her fox ears twitched wildly. And then, before she could blink...its massive body shimmered, scales turning into bronzed skin and lean muscle. Standing before her was a man so breathtakingly handsome that Su Qinglan’s poor fox eyes watered just looking at him. Su Qinglan swallowed hard, her tail fluffing up in panic. “I… I…” Her voice cracked. Okay, new problem… the snake is hot. She squeezed her eyes shut. “If you… if you really want…” She blurted, her face burning, “…y-you can… take me.” *** One moment Su Qinglan was fighting with the zombie king with all her might. Boom! The next, she woke up in a bizarre beast world… inside the body of a lazy, pampered, fat local tyrant everyone hated. The “original” Su Qinglan had been an arrogant, scheming villainess who spent her days bullying weaker beast women, chasing after handsome males, and terrorizing the tribe kids. Now, thanks to fate’s twisted sense of humor, Qinglan had inherited the body and the bad reputation. But honestly? Being fat in a beast world was still better than starving in the apocalypse. At least here, she could eat. The only problem? In this world, men weren’t just men, they were beastmen. Tall, strong, dangerous… And apparently, every beast woman was expected to have several husbands. The catch? The “original” Qinglan’s antics had scared away every decent male within a ten-mile radius. Armed with her apocalyptic survival instincts, a sharp tongue, and a mysterious system that suddenly activated... "Binding with host…" "Congratulations, host, for successfully arriving in the beast world." Qinglan decided she wasn’t going to cry about fate. If she had to live here, then she’d live big, literally.

The protagonist star is the symbol that protects the male and female lead of any story and anyone who bears this mark controls the narrative. Shen Xiatang has been an unfortunate victim to this star and she knows that the protagonist symbol exists for the protagonist to shine but how bright they must shine or in what way they must shine is something that is not set in stone.

[Read up to chapter 5, you won't regret it.] Haru Mizuki died the lamest death possible: alone in his room, playing a hentai VRMMO. No heroic sacrifice. No tragic accident. Just... pathetic. But instead of oblivion, he wakes up in Aethelgard. Cursed by Chronia, Goddess of Time, Haru gains an ability no one else has: he can't stay dead. Every time he dies, he loops back to his last checkpoint. What seems like a curse becomes his greatest weapon, infinite retries mean infinite opportunities to learn, train, and seduce. And seduce he must. Because Haru's cheat ability, Touch of the Goddess, lets him steal powers from anyone he touches... but it works best through intimate contact. Armed with death loops, a hacker-class system that lets him sabotage rival players, and zero shame, Haru begins building the ultimate multi-species harem. But he's not the only player in this game, and they all want the same thing: absolute domination.

One moment he just wanted to drive home and speedrun the game before the DLC dropped, but after a crash, a warm light, and then nothing—he woke up as Wolfgang, a poor noble knight of the Holy Roman Empire. However, once a butterfly flaps its wings, no one can predict where the storm will go; this world doesn't follow game scripts. Nobles plot in the dark, and being the smartest person in the room means nothing when steel decides the argument. To survive the filth and chaos of medieval life, he has no choice but to lean on a mysterious system that hands him quests, money, and access to a shop packed with skills, manuals, and items he never could have gotten otherwise. He refuses to just stand by and watch history be written without him. With modern knowledge, he will use every resource, building a loyal army, amassing his wealth, and carving out the strongest empire ever with his own hands.

Morgan woke up to find himself suddenly embodied in the body of a young man named Charlon Clemen, in a world completely different from his original one. In this world, a select elite of talented individuals is chosen to become what is known as "The Awakened," after undergoing a special test… Morgan finds himself chosen to be one of these Awakened, while he seeks to understand the truth of this world, his sudden embodiment, and how to return to his original world.

In a world where supernatural Awakening dictates status, power, and worth, West Einstein is nobody. At eighteen, he’s a Tier 0—unawakened, invisible, and easily discarded. In a city ruled from the shadows by gangs, factions, and mafia families with supernatural bloodlines, Tier 1 awakeners are treated like future kings, while people like West exist purely as background. That truth becomes brutally clear when West’s girlfriend publicly abandons him for Caleb Rourke, a newly awakened Tier 1 backed by a street gang. Humiliated in front of the entire school, West learns a lesson the city enforces without mercy: power decides everything... love included. That same night, something awakens within him. ~ The Cuckhold System ~ A ruthless system that offers West a way to climb the hierarchy by doing to others what was done to him. By targeting men who believe their relationships are secure and becoming the replacement, West earns Cuck Points, a currency that allows him to grow stronger, unlock abilities, and even awaken as a Tier 1. Failure means losing the system forever. Success means power. As West navigates high school, part-time work at a café, and a city on the brink of chaos due to newly discovered supernatural ruins, he begins to see the world differently. Gangs extort openly. Police bow instead of enforce. Supernatural ruins spark violent competition. Morality bends beneath ambition. What starts as reluctant participation soon becomes strategy. --------- NB: MC never gets NTRd after acquiring the system.
