"Ark" or "Arknights" is a next-generation MMORPG that once reached a peak of 80 million online users worldwide. The game's setting is a world called Terra—not to be confused with "Holy Terra"—a vast and chaotic planet thirty times larger than Earth, filled with expansive lands and plagued by frequent natural disasters. The story follows Felix, a player who is unexpectedly transported back in time to the period before the game's official server launch. However, instead of returning as a player, he finds himself reincarnated as an NPC within the game. Now functioning with all the traits and systems of an NPC, Felix becomes a legendary figure among players. To them, he is: A mysterious merchant A dreamlike mentor An unattainable ideal for countless female players Within the world of Terra, Felix is more than just an NPC—he is seen as a spiritual guide, a false priest, a dreamer, a philosopher, a reformer, a philanthropist, a loner, a seeker, an explorer, and a pioneer. His motto: "Let the players enjoy the game—while I profit from every second they do." --- Quotes from notable figures in the game: Jesselton: “I could take two or three punches from Saria, but I wouldn’t dare take even one from Felix. Even if God ordered me to, I’d go to war with Him instead.” Arturia: “Felix’s presence makes me want to perform before him for three days and three nights, without rest.” Patriot: “Your ideals… they are reality.” MacArthur, a five-star American operator, once remarked: “All it takes is a single move from him, and he’ll dominate the entire Terra Daily hot search list. The moment I saw Felix on the battlefield, I knew—there was no turning back.”

"I am the rot in your foundation. I will crawl back from hell and bury this world." Those were Red’s final words as his classmates—the people he once sought validation from—watched him dissolve. They stole his life force to fuel their own ascensions, becoming Paladins, Sages, and Kings. They threw his empty husk into the Abyss, satisfied the 'Terrorist's Son' was finally gone. But death was not the end. While his body lay broken in the abyss, his soul drifted to the sanctuary of a Forgotten God. Awakening the forbidden SSS-Rank Talent [Exponential Divinity - 100x Growth], Red realizes that in this world, power isn't given—it's built. He doesn't need heroes; he needs monsters. From the chitin of hyper-evolved insects to dragons, from eldritch horrors to the nightmares sleeping in the dark, he begins to construct a civilization that defies the natural order. Under his hand, the weak do not just survive—they evolve into calamities. The Heroes are leveling up in their golden towers. The Gods are watching from their thrones. But in the shadows, Red’s Strongest Civilization is already preparing for war. [Betrayed and sacrificed, I awakened an SSS-Rank Talent. While others struggle to build a village, my civilization grows 100x faster.]

=== WSA 2025 - Silver Prize Winner === Discord: https://discord.gg/3q2GJdk27D ============================ Way before I was even born, my world was invaded. Actually, not just my world, my entire damn universe was overrun by another, led by a single race that called themselves the Eternals. And they were prepared. Very prepared. Every life we lost in the war against them was used by them. They didn’t just kill people, they captured their souls, forged them into Phantoms, and used the souls to twist beasts into Abominations. Our dead became their army. Three hundred years later, I was born. A guy with way too much energy. Sitting still? Impossible. Taking it slow? Not happening. I was always moving, always ready to burst into action. Then I awakened, and got a talent too. My Talent's Name Was Generator. Because of it I never ran out of energy. Ever. My muscles? Supercharged. My healing? Faster. My stamina? Please, I had no idea what being tired even felt like. So if the universe wanted to throw an endless war at me? Fine. I’d throw everything I had right back. I wasn’t born a hero. Never wanted to be one. But this war? It wasn’t just my universe’s fight anymore. It was mine. The Eternals made sure of that when they took my parents' souls.

In the year 2435, Kaelen Vance reigned supreme as the "King of All Games," a world where digital mastery dictated global status. But when a bitter rivalry spills out of the simulation and into reality, Kaelen and his elite team are caught in a deadly ambush. Standing at the threshold of the afterlife, Kaelen is met by a mysterious entity who offers him a choice: eternal peace or a second chance in a world governed by a far more visceral system. ​Reborn into the body of a discarded youth in the rugged world of Derma, Kaelen finds himself in a land where power is literally etched into the skin. In this new reality, "Tattooed" warriors manifest supernatural abilities through living ink, progressing through a hierarchy of colors and categories. Armed with a cynical wit, a spectral mask tattoo of unknown potential, and a mysterious interface visible only to him, Kaelen must navigate a landscape far more treacherous than any virtual arena. Beyond the petty bullies of his small village lies a vast, unforgiving continent ruled by ancient ink-clans and monstrous entities of legendary power. In a world where the strongest can level mountains with a flex of their skin, Kaelen is a small fish in a deep, dark ocean. The game has changed, the stakes are mortal, and the King must now adapt to survive a realm where his current strength is nothing but a drop of ink in an endless sea of blood and ambition.

When Taiyuan fell to the northern riders, one boy survived. Across frozen plains and wind-scoured wastelands, he walked alone—carrying nothing but his father’s last command: Find General Jin Mugwang of Haran. He was not a warrior. He had never drawn a blade in battle. Yet he crossed a land where even soldiers would not travel in winter. In Haran, at the edge of the frontier, a war waits. Armies gather. Old loyalties fracture. The border does not forgive weakness. The boy who arrived half-frozen at the gates of the northern campaign will grow beneath banners of war. But survival is only the beginning. In a fractured age, he must learn when a blade must be drawn— and when it must remain sheathed. A story of war, loyalty, and the making of a man.

In the year 2315, humanity reaches the end of its world. An alien species known only as Virms descends without warning—entities that do not conquer, negotiate, or communicate in ways humans understand. Cities collapse in days. Oceans burn. Half of humanity escapes to distant planets, abandoning Earth to become a post-apocalyptic graveyard. Those left behind survive among ruins, fighting extinction itself. To resist the Virms, humanity creates Parasites—genetically engineered soldiers bonded with advanced AI and alien-derived bio-tech. They are nameless, expendable, and forbidden from normal lives. Their sole purpose is survival through annihilation. Among them are Alain and Alea. Alain is a quiet, relentless fighter who has forgotten what peace feels like. Alea is different—obsessive, emotional, and dangerously hopeful. In a world designed to erase attachment, she dreams of something impossible: a normal life beyond war, beyond duty… and beyond the Virms. As the Parasites uncover the true nature of the invasion, they learn a horrifying truth—the Virms are not invaders, but cosmic correctors, reshaping civilizations that grow too complex to survive. Humanity was never meant to win. When Alea begins to hear voices from beyond reality, the war takes a catastrophic turn. Her body becomes a bridge between existence and the unknown—a living doorway capable of rewriting the universe itself. ~Disclaimer ~ All the story elements created with my imagination.

In a world ruled by players and infested with monsters, being born without a profession was nothing less than a delayed death sentence. Remedy was one of those failures, destined to crawl beneath the boots of the strong for his entire life… until the day of the final exam — his last chance to break free from fate. But just before the trial, his player interface shattered. In its place appeared an unknown anomaly. SDR — REALITY DECEPTOR SYSTEM Remedy gained neither strength nor talent. Instead, he learned how to inject corrupted concepts into the world itself. A body too weak to lift a ton? Reality accepted that weight no longer applied to him. A weapon incapable of cutting? The world suddenly acknowledged that it could slice through anything. With the SDR, Remedy didn’t become stronger. He forced reality to make mistakes. For the first time, he glimpsed a way out. Power. Freedom. A life at the top. But falsifying the rules of the world could not go unanswered. In the shadows of the dungeons, ancient entities opened their eyes. Above the players, those who had written the laws of reality began to move. And the more Remedy used the SDR, the more a terrifying truth became clear: Every virus concept left behind a trace. A cruel side effect. Irreversible. By deceiving reality again and again… something else began to take his place. Changing the world was possible. But remaining human might not be. --- Author's Note: This work is written and published in French and English.

We all love Call of Duty ,well, who doesn’t? For Reever, it wasn’t just a game. It was his life’s battlefield, his digital home, and the one place where he could still feel young. After decades of dominance in the gaming world, Reever now ninety and bedridden receives an unexpected visit from the creators of Call of Duty: Ascend.EXE, the next-generation VR experience that blurs the line between player and soldier. They offer him the honor of being the very first to play. One final mission before death. Inside the simulation, his old instincts returned. The battlefield burned, drones screamed across the sky, and Reever fought like it was 2045 again. But as his real heart began to fail, the world dimmed and then a message appeared before his eyes: [YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE] CONTINUE PLAYING? [YES/NO] With his final breath, he clicked YES. Outside, his body flatlined. Inside, he woke in a cold, endless chamber filled with frozen soldiers avatars suspended mid-respawn. A metallic voice greeted him: “Welcome, Bot-067.” Now trapped inside the system, Reever must survive a world built from code, blood, and broken memories. Death no longer frees him it resets him. And as the system grows aware, he begins to wonder if he’s still playing the game… or if the game is now playing him.

In a broken world of ash and black clouds, dragons rule the sky and old vampire clans rule the ground. Human life is cheap, sold in chains to dark lords who drink blood and wage silent wars in the night. Kairn is a nameless slave boy in an iron mine at the edge of a dead kingdom, beaten, starving, and waiting to die. On the night a blood-red comet crosses the sky, a dying dragon crashes into the mine and burns everything Kairn has ever known. As he lies under stone and fire, a cold voice speaks in his mind and offers him a deal: live as a cursed vampire, bound to a hidden System that hungers for blood, or die as nothing. Kairn chooses to live. He wakes as a newborn vampire with a status screen carved into his soul, weak stats, and one strange path: “Draconic Bloodbound – locked.” To grow stronger, he must hunt in the dark, feed on those who would kill him, and survive the hunt of both humans and elder vampires who fear what he might become. As Kairn’s level rises, his powers twist his body, his mind, and his sense of mercy. He learns that the System is not a neutral guide but a chain forged by the First Sire, an ancient monster who once enslaved dragons and turned their blood into fuel for vampire evolution. The only way to break that chain is to claim a dragon of his own and evolve into something the world has never seen. In a land where the sun is a rare ghost behind storm clouds and trust is a quick way to die, Kairn must decide what he will sacrifice: his last human feelings, his few fragile allies, or the whole burning world above. There will be no heroes, only hunters and prey.

Emotions, desires, bonds—all of them are traps laid by existence to bind every being into endlessly playing its endless game. But the world refuses to see the truth.

He preaches that everyone should end their own existence, yet when no one listens he takes it upon himself to end them by force. The world unites against this madman who seeks to erase all forms of existence, and after a brutal struggle which left many dead he is defeated, ending his sermon. But whether by fate’s hand or existence mocking his failure, death refuses to claim him. He awakens reincarnated in another world, burdened with what he believes is a scared mission to free all those he sees as prisoners of existence. To liberate all life from its clutches. To him, no cost is too high and no deed too vile, for every deplorable act is justified because to him existence itself is a greater cruelty than he can ever commit He believes that at the end of all things lies the purest of peace, known as nothing because in nothingness there is no pain, no emotion, no longing. In nothing, you feel nothing. In nothing, you are free from suffering, for in nothing you are nothing. Enjoy the novel? Hated the novel? Come tell what you felt!
