Jiro was just scrolling through some Naruto clips before bed, unaware that every edit was being simultaneously transmitted across all timelines of the Shinobi World. Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't bear to watch the replay of his own life. The Uchiha clan discovered their future of annihilation. Madara Uchiha fell silent as he watched "The Truth of the Infinite Tsukuyomi." Namikaze Minato trembled and wept as he read "The Life of Naruto." Naruto Uzumaki learned to form Rasengan ahead of time. Orochimaru, meanwhile, fell into deep contemplation while watching "The Complete Collection of Failed Immortality Experiments." When Jiro finally edited together his own imagined "Perfect Naruto Ending," the history of the entire Shinobi World veered irrevocably toward an unknown point of divergence.

I died like a dog in a Kaiju’s guts. Then a parasitic monster brought me back to life… and a psychotic yandere bought my streaming rights. Now my every breath, every fight, every drop of blood is broadcast live to one single viewer — her. She calls herself my sponsor. She calls me her favorite toy. And she’s willing to drop millions just to watch me suffer, grow stronger, and slowly lose control to the Kaiju growing inside my chest. The Defense Force wants me dead. The corporations want me as their new superstar. But the real monster? She’s already watching. Every time I push my sync rate higher, the parasite gets hungrier. Every time I try to run, she tightens the leash. This isn’t a second chance. This is a private show. And she paid top dollar for the rights to my life… and my body . Welcome to my stream. Try not to get addicted.

Time Magazine once gave this review of a man: "Mr. Yang is a great inventor. The products he created changed how hundreds of millions live, work, and travel." "At the same time, his inventions created millions of jobs and made outstanding contributions to regional economies." ... Never would he have imagined—Yang Wendong, already a successful entrepreneur, would accidentally travel back to the 1950s. Given a second chance, he would once again rise from nothing, climb to the peak of this era, and build a century-spanning Chinese family empire.

Lucas transmigrates to a parallel world and is thrilled to discover that many of the classic, brilliant games from his past life don’t exist here. Eager to make his mark, he’s also burdened with an "Emotion Collection System"—where players’ emotions like joy, sorrow, excitement, fear, and anger from his games make him stronger. But why is it so much easier to harvest resentment than happiness? Staring at his point earnings, Lucas is utterly baffled. And so, his career as a game designer takes a… creative turn. In Undertale, players slam their desks and scream: "I’m the one being played by this game!" In Outlast, players shriek: "The locker moved! I quit—NOPE!" In Dark Souls, players cheerfully boot up the game, only to beg: "Leave the Fire Keeper and GET OUT! Take your damn flame with you—we refuse to link it!" In Call of Duty, Soap, Roach, and Ghost meet tragic ends; in Final Fantasy VII, Zack falls in battle and Aerith meets her fate; in Red Dead Redemption, Arthur and John are betrayed… Players collectively rage: "DAMN YOU, LUCAS, YOU SADISTIC OLD FOX! CAN’T YOU BE KINDA TO YOUR PROTAGONISTS?!" When asked by a reporter how he feels about players’ fury, LUCAS smiles faintly: "This isn’t hatred—it’s the world’s players urging me forward! This is LOVE! Thank you all; I’ll keep up the good work!"

Sunless was eight years old when Anvil of Valor found him in the outskirts, half-starved and trailing a armored car through three blocks of slum without being detected. The patriarch of Clan Valor saw what he always saw when he looked at people: raw material. Taken through the Gateway into the Dream Realm and raised behind the walls of Bastion, Sunny grew up learning anatomy before arithmetic and kill angles before table manners. Anvil forged him into something quiet and precise, a weapon that could be aimed at a single target and trusted to strike without hesitation. The target was Nephis, daughter of the Immortal Flame. Sent to the Awakened Academy under the guise of an outskirts orphan, Sunny had one mission: ensure Changing Star never returned from the Dream Realm alive. But the Nightmare Spell had a sense of humor, and the Forgotten Shore didn't care about anyone's plans. Survival required cooperation, and cooperation required trust, and somewhere between the labyrinth of crimson coral and the dark sea that swallowed the world each night, the weapon began to wonder whether the hand that forged him had the right to choose where he fell.

People ask the wrong question. They always do. They look at what I've become — the fallen temples, the silenced pantheons, the gods who learned too late that divinity is just power wearing a title — and they ask: How did you get here? Wrong question. The right one is simpler. What were you before all of this? A boy born with power he did not choose, in a world that does not know what he is. He does not want a throne. He wants something more dangerous — to understand the rules well enough to rewrite them. Gods are watching. They should be. _ _ _ #OP MC early on #Strategy # Magic # High fantasy #Psychological #Kingdom Building # Anti-hero #Op Available on Royal Road, Wattpad, Honeyfeed and Webnovel

Something feels off long before anything goes wrong. The lights still flicker. The streets still fill. The city still moves like nothing has changed. But beneath it all, there’s a quiet that doesn’t belong. Raikun notices it in the pauses—in the spaces between moments, in the things people don’t say, in the feeling that something is slowly slipping out of place. And the more he pays attention, the harder it becomes to ignore: Not everything that disappears makes a sound.

!!!!!!! A new version of this story will appear in the future during which time there will be no updates. I'm laying the groundwork for this webnovel's contract as well as applying for the WSA, so don't hold that against me ;) You'll know when this story appears because I'll be changing the name to : “I've changed the title of this webnovel to create another with the same name.” !!!!!!!!! ------------------------------------- In a world transformed by a mysterious rift ripping through the sky, the balance between technology, nature and civilization collapses. Titanic monsters born of the energy generated by the rift, and nicknamed the primordials, oppose an alien invasion, plunging humanity into a devastating war. In a war lasting 10 years, the aliens were repulsed thanks to the primordials, and humanity was reborn thanks to a major scientific discovery: it was possible to awaken unique talents in every individual from the age of 16. At the heart of a universe where advanced technologies, martial arts, mythical creatures and the shadows of an extraterrestrial past coexist, Adam, our protagonist, will have to prove that a simple individual can defy expectations and forge his own destiny. Adam's simulator is intended to be my second contracted book, so I hope you enjoy it!

After obtaining the Mech Designer System, Ves aims to create the greatest mechs in the galaxy! In the far future, the galactic human civilization has entered the Age of Mechs. The countless lesser powers of humanity have come to adopt mechs as their main weapons of war. Only a small number of humans have the right genetic aptitude to pilot these destructive war machines the size of buildings.

RISE AGAINST THE HORRORS The collapse of the world did not come from a computer glitch during the Y2K scare but from an unknown interdimensional rift that unleashed a suffocating miasma and monstrous horrors upon Earth. This calamity killed half of the male population and granted most women the ability to wield Mana, a mystical energy that elevated them above their powerless male counterparts, who were labeled as [Casters]. Yet even this gift proved insufficient to hold back the tide of horrors—until the arrival of the Radiant Empress. The Radiant Empress, a divine and mysterious savior, repelled the darkness and reshaped civilization. She gifted humanity the Edenfruit, an artifact that transformed women into Sororitaes, powerful mystical warriors of love and peace, who became the bulwark against the Rift’s terrors. By the year 2087, humanity survives within towering Ark-Cities, protected by the Empress and her daughters. Society, now ruled by a matriarchal Queendom, reveres the supersoldier Bellatrix and magical girls Sororitae as defenders while relegating men to a fragile and subordinate role. When it comes to male to female ratio, it is left at 1:5, skewed yet manageable. This balance is shattered when an anomaly appears: a young man who awakens unknown powers once thought impossible for his kind. Unlike Edenfruit’s blessing, his abilities are raw and disruptive, resonating beyond the established order. His existence threatens the foundation of the world, both the Queendom and the horrors beyond the walls. Will he be the herald of salvation or one of the world's latest horrors?

Once a linguistic genius, a pioneer who gave commands to artificial intelligence with precision and brilliance. What twist could he do now that he is given the ability to program his body? Can't control every fiber of your body? → [Control Module System] Tired of endless training? → [Training Module System] Too weak in combat? → [Combat Module System] Need perfect memory? → [Memory Module System] In a world ruled by technology and extraordinary, watch how Nash reforge his destiny as he uncovers the deepest secrets of his body. "This time, I won’t build a god. I’ll become one."

The world does not want a savior; it wants a weapon it can control. When the light of his world was extinguished by a Seele, a young boy’s grief gave birth to a terrifying resolve. Paralyzed no longer, he claimed the burden of the "Scarecrow"—a protector destined to stand in the center of the carnage, wielding a fierce, blue-tinted flame that burns with a heat the world has grown to loathe. In this era, such a Gift is no beacon of hope; it is a cursed anomaly, marking him as a pariah even as he serves as humanity's shield. His mission is fueled by a selfish vow: he has seen the worst this world has to offer, and he will slaughter every Seele in existence to ensure no one else has to witness that horror. But the Scarecrow does not burn for himself. Every searing blast of blue fire is for the one soul he refused to lose—the girl who remains his only home in a world of wreckage. She is his final tether to reality, the reason behind his crusade, and the only anchor keeping his humanity from being consumed by his own Blue Rage. Together with Squad Segment 663, he is deployed under the cold, calculating gaze of The Skulls—architects of a system where lives are merely data points on a probability monitor. From forgotten borders to decaying strongholds, they are the U.W.D.S.’s most efficient tools of "purification." Yet, in the silence between battles, a mysterious figure lingers. An unnamed guide who speaks in echoes, she is a weeping contradiction who offers a haunting comfort that feels ancient and dangerously familiar. As the squad faces the encroaching darkness of the Seele and the rising threat of a rival power, the "Scarecrow" must decide: is he truly a hero, or just a broken child enforcing his trauma on a world that already hates him? In a war where trust is a liability, the people he protects may be the first to call him a traitor.

Loose cultivator Shi Lang gradually found himself in the realm of invincibility. However, when he finally tried to ascend to the higher realm, the spirit of the world was nearly exhausted. So, between his ascension to a new world or the well-being of his home, he chose the latter and sacrificed his life to save the world. Nobody knew what he gave up for the world, and he told no one. Although his sacrifice had gone unsung, there was still someone who witnessed everything. A treasured artifact he carried on his body preserved his soul and let it escape a tragic end. Eons passed. The human race stepped out from the age of cultivation into an age of stellar conquest. The spirit energy in the world was now scarce, but humans found other means to excel. In this highly-advanced time, Shi Lang's soul has found a chance to be reborn. What happens when an ancient cultivator that neared the level of a deity before his first death gets a second chance at life in the space age? ...

Avery Asteria was far from having anyone's dream job. Family circumstances had him drop out of school and flying around the expanse of space looking for treasure among the discarded trash in an old ship his father had been restoring. It was far from glamorous work, but it was all he could do to earn the money he needed. He was not the only one looking for fortune among the stars, though. One day a score that looked too good to be true led to a run in with a band of pirates. With some quick wits and a bit of luck, Avery managed to escape the worst, but he ended up missing out on collecting the valuable salvage he had his sights on. Having lost a large chunk of his gear in his flight from the pirates, Avery seemed to be truly at the end of his rope. However, a twist of fate led him to discovering an experimental vessel that had been lost to the far reaches of space. With this new ship in his possession, his prospects were looking up. It had everything and more than what any spacefarer could want. And Avery was going to use it to become the leader of the greatest band of mercenaries in the galaxy.
