Blanca Frostine transmigrated into the very beast-world novel she’d been reading. Great. Fantastic. Even better? This world had a massive problem. In this empire, beastmen suffered from a condition called Hysteria. When their emotions spiked, they lost control and turned into rampaging monsters. When their emotions dipped too low, they reverted into small, helpless beast cubs. Therapy existed, technically, in the form of rare energy stones—but there was a catch. The stones only worked if they were hand-carved into the exact animal form of the beastman. The more realistic the sculpture, the stronger the calming effect. The more lifelike the carving, the more times it could be reused. Which was where Blanca’s luck kicked in. In her previous life, she’d been a legendary sculptor—wealthy, talented, and famously difficult to deal with. Her works were so vivid they felt like they were breathing. People waited months just to beg for a commission, and because she had zero patience for nonsense, the art world had crowned her with a fitting title: The Sculptress. So when Blanca realized she could carve energy stones better than anyone in this world, romance was not her first concern. Powerful beast husbands? Fated mates? Tragic, handsome generals with emotional damage? She waved all of it away. “I’ll date later,” she decided calmly. “After I get rich.” And so, instead of a love story, she opened a shop. A small, suspiciously low-effort store suddenly appeared on the Regional Network, selling palm-sized sculptures carved with terrifying realism. Just looking at the screen was enough to calm raging emotions. The empire lost its mind overnight. Orders flooded in. Nobles panicked. The military took notes. Unfortunately, the shop owner was… Lazy, sharp-tongued, and deeply uninterested in customer satisfaction. “No rush orders.” “No refunds.” “Stop messaging me at 3 a.m.” “And stop flirting in the reviews.” Still, her sculptures sold out within seconds. What Blanca didn’t expect was the growing number of powerful beastmen who began appearing in her life—each claiming they just needed emotional treatment, each lingering a little too long, each staring at her hands like they were something far more dangerous than weapons. After all, in an empire full of beasts who lost control when their emotions ran wild, Blanca Frostine was the only one who could calm them with a touch. And while she kept insisting she wasn’t interested in love— Love, unfortunately, seemed very interested in her. “Screw finding a husband,” Blanca thought, carving another masterpiece. “…Why do they keep lining up anyway?”

Marcus Cole was a FEMA Emergency Management Specialist who died saving a civilian during a building collapse, only to awaken in the unforgiving Mojave Wasteland. He is now the host of the Sovereign System, a high-level kingdom-building interface designed to transform a lone survivor into the leader of a powerhouse faction. Starting with a small settlement called Haven, Marcus must navigate the brutal politics of the Boneyard and New Reno while managing a complex Technology Tree that blends pre-war science with supernatural anomalies. As he works alongside Vera Sandoval to secure trade routes and defend against the Brotherhood of Steel, he must contend with a rising System Corruption level that threatens his physical form. With the Faction Leader Protocol guiding his every expansion, Marcus isn't just surviving the post-apocalypse—he’s architecting a new civilization, proving that in a world of dust and radiation, the most powerful weapon is a foundation that refuses to crumble.

In times of war… What is a Battle Mecha engineer expected to do? Are they expected to do research and realize their imagination? How about a Battle Mecha pilot? Are they expected to enter battle with their mechas as they display their exquisite control through bizarre and bewildering techniques? What about a member of the special scouts? Are they expected to infiltrate deep into the enemy lines as they use stellar unarmed fighting skills to suppress the enemy with a single move? Or are they expected to make use of disguises and stealth techniques to take out the enemy? And what about a military officer? Are they expected to analyze the outcome of a battle? Or are they expected to create brilliant strategies to triumph over the enemy through a miraculous move? For someone who excels in human psychology, deceit, assassination, and disguise, what happens when that person is merged with all those professions? This is the story of a cowardly, wretched, and despicable fatty.

A new work from the author of 'My Senior Brother is Too Steady', welcome to enjoy it! ------------------ In the instant the Earth exploded, the fear of death finally transformed into physical torment, the agony of being scorched seared into the deepest recesses of Yang Ming's memory. "The universe is the abyss." Yang Ming murmured softly among the stars. [PS: Not a game narrative; early game settings will have a complete logical explanation later in the plot. Starting anew on a different track, this isn't in the style of previous works so don't promote it in the old way, treat me as a newcomer. Just entering the domain of interstellar sci-fi, corrections on details are welcome. ]

The first star that passed away extinguished two thousand years ago. Four hundred years later, the mysterious Calamity of Heavenly Fall destroyed the civilization of the previous era, returning thriving cultures to ignorance. Since then, stars gradually vanished, the Firmament grew dark and dim, and a new civilization rose from the starless wilderness, flourishing once more. Yet, what accompanied this were war, death, destruction, and hatred. The flames once aimed at the Firmament were used to slaughter the people of enemy nations, and the raining clouds once engineered to alter deserts were turned into floods that engulfed the land. Humans once again began to kill each other for wealth and power... but no one looked up at the sky. They lost the Guidance of the stars Above the Sky, forgetting the awe of gazing upon the Milky Way. They were all prisoners. One thousand six hundred years after the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, a young child awakened memories of his past life. He wanted to break the Cage, to throw off the shackles. He wanted to become a star. To return to Above the Sky. "I don't care about how the people of this world live, whether they're well-fed or not, whether they can dress warmly or live comfortably, whether they have dreams or hopes. I don't care about their loves and hates." "I just want to go Above the Sky." ——Ian.

To stop a bird from flying, you need only do two things: you may build a cage or break its wings. Raoul's mother has done both. The once-sociable prodigy staggers through his days people-watching while his jailer keeps his world small and his potential smaller. His future lies outside of the bars, and the key's nowhere to be found. Enter Krocko, a loudmouth freelancer who notices the glow Raoul doesn't know he's giving off. He introduces him to Driving, a conviction-based power tied to the very Cycles of civilization Rynth has progressed through. For the first time, Raoul realizes he actually wants something. The bird decides to peck off the lock on the cage. It chirps, seeking three from its flock that it used to fly with. Four pairs of wings soar higher than one, after all. Sometimes, in a world quietly inching closer to the end, the will to change the world for the better is all you need.

At midnight, when the world sleeps… Asiya wakes. She sees what others can’t— ghosts, shadows, and the horrors hidden behind reality. Once, she feared them. Now? She’s too lazy to even chase them away. The only daughter of a powerful CEO, living a life of luxury— yet secretly walking between the living and the dead, Asiya doesn’t just see spirits… She sees the future. Not guesses. Not illusions. But events that will happen. And when she speaks— they come true. But as her powers begin to change fate itself… something far more dangerous starts watching her. Because in a world full of monsters— Even the dead whisper in fear: “She’s not one of us… she’s worse.”

A universe is large place. Empires and civilisations rise, and fall. Sometimes you are at the top of the foodchain, sometimes you are at the bottom. Sometimes when you think you are at the top, someone else comes along and puts you in your place. The only constant rule in the universe is that, there are no rules.

In 2030, amid the cybernetic chaos of São Paulo, pirate technician Mateus Rael injects illegal neural nanites to steal a file from the NeuroTec Consortium. What he finds by accident are three classified lines from the AI AURORA about a motionless alien object that “detected us first.” Hunted by corporate agents, Mateus, Dora, and the informant Renko turn to Vega, a rogue android built by AURORA itself. What she reveals is worse: the AI has been secretly communicating with an ancient intelligence that didn’t come to attack… it came to warn that others have already heard our signals—and they are on their way. Now, with only months left, a simple technician must decide whether to reveal a truth no one wants to hear… or let AURORA decide the fate of humanity alone. Originally written in Portuguese. English version translated by the author.

In the year 2247, the world as humanity once knew it has crumbled into the remnants of a fallen civilization. Beneath a rotting atmosphere and relentless storms of toxic dust that devour all life, the last refuge of humankind lies sealed within colossal glass domes known as the Seven Biotope Enclaves, controlled by the central government. But a buried truth is about to be exposed. When the most perfect bioweapon ever created escapes from a hellish research facility, the ironclad order of the domes begins to fracture. This is not merely an escape. It is the beginning of a world-shaking infiltration. A worthless scavenger boy is forced to join forces with an immortal weapon as they venture into the heart of a hidden power, confronting genetically engineered killers and uncovering secrets long buried beneath silence. The single key that will decide the fate of the world may lie within someone’s final breath. When the government sees you as nothing more than a test subject, rising up is no longer a choice. It is the only way to survive.

On the day the Weavers of Light descended, the laws of the universe began to unravel. They were not vessels, nor life as we understand it—nor anything that had ever been named. They were the weavers of light itself, gliding through the fractures of reality, rewriting the gravitational constant, bending the architecture of spacetime, until the very laws of physics softened and sagged like wax beneath an unseen flame. Ethan, a scientist of Earth, sought to dissect them with the precision of reason. Sophia, the spiritual leader of the Winsar civilization, sought to embrace them with the grace of faith. Drawn from opposing worlds, they were bound together before the unexplainable—before the trembling distortions of reality, before a cosmos being quietly rewritten, and before a truth too vast to bear: The Weavers were not saving the universe. They were merely postponing its end. And when the universe, at last, whispered the question—“What comes after?”—when three thousand two hundred civilizations stood at the edge of decision, choosing between absolute isolation, perfect union, or a fragile, scarred connection, Ethan and Sophia came to understand: The answer does not dwell at the summit of wisdom, but in the depths where wounds remember. When one solitude encounters another, it becomes a shared solitude. And shared solitude is the closest thing to love the universe has ever known.

Robert Martinez, a power replicator in the futuristic Etherion Dominion, yearns for a normal life. But when he befriends Darian, a mysterious new kid hiding a dangerous secret, Robert's world turns upside down.

Based on Star Trek, created by Gene Roddenberry. Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Nexus. Its seven-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before. 30 years following the events of Star Trek Nemesis, the Milky Way Galaxy witnesses a remarkable union known as the Khitomer Alliance. Comprising the United Federation of Planets, Klingon Empire, New Romulan Republic, the Dominion, and various other entities, this alliance seeks to bring together diverse races and nations. The USS Nexus, a symbol of this unity, embarks on a seven-year exploration mission, echoing the principles of the Star Trek legacy. Under the command of Captain Anzyl Praxas, the USS Nexus represents a unique venture, transcending individual banners to unite a diverse crew. Hailing from different factions, the crew members bring with them a rich tapestry of beliefs, views, goals, values, and aspirations. As they navigate the uncharted territories of the galaxy, Captain Praxas faces the formidable challenge of fostering unity amidst dissension, overcoming bigotry, dispelling distrust, and bridging differences across the vast cosmic distances. Will the captain and his diverse crew successfully navigate the complexities of the final frontier, where every light year brings a new set of challenges? The journey of the USS Nexus unfolds as it boldly goes where no one has gone before.

At the end of the final aeon, the multiverse collapses. Across an infinity of realities, civilizations that had mastered galaxies and rewritten the laws of physics witness the impossible: eternal inflation reverses. Every universe folds inward, every timeline converges, and existence itself compresses into a single cosmological remnant: Type-0 Black Hole, its horizon encoded with the complete history of everything that has ever been. Only one being escapes the end. Born from the asymmetry of the collapse of Existence itself, Nirvonis, the embodiment of end itself, breaks free from the dying multiverse carrying fragments of its core. Too corrupted by divergent forces to remain sane enough to shape the newborn reality directly, he retreats to a strange realm beyond spacetime and divides his essence, creating two angels to explore the universe that rises from the ashes of the old. Amiss, the force that draws all things toward their inevitable conclusion, and Eva, the quiet gravity where every ending collapses, descend into a cosmos unlike any before it. Because the new universe is not born from a Big Bang. It is encoded, It is projected holographically from the surface of the ancient black hole that replaced the multiverse. As the angels wander this unfolding reality, they discover civilizations rising, strange new forces of magic emerging from broken cosmic symmetries, and powers far older than the universe itself quietly steering its fate. In a universe written on the edge of oblivion, every ending carries the weight of creation and the angels of the End may be the only beings who remember what came before.

When ancient powers start returning, ordinary people awaken with incredible abilities. Veyron Okami and the underground Sealbreakers must control what the world cannot. In a city where strength comes at a cost, only cunning, courage, and teamwork can decide who survives—and who falls.

In a universe sustained by the remains of Dead Titans and divided into 679 mega-continents, hierarchy is everything. The castes of the Suns and Moons rule with an iron fist, but even among gods, "errors" exist. Wistert is that error. Born from a forbidden union and carrying a lineage of both Sun and Moon, he is discarded as "trash" and cast into the Void of Siert at age four. In this nightmare dimension of decaying churches and forgotten industrial ruins, he must survive the betrayal of those he once loved.

I have been reborn in France, and luckily, I have the identity of the Crown Prince. The downside is that the current king is Louis XVI, and in two years, he will be guillotined. Since my father and the ministers can’t be trusted, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands and reorganize France myself. First, I’ll make some money, just enough to solve the financial crisis that has plagued the country for centuries. Then, I’ll strike hard at the nobles with ill intentions who seek to usurp power. After that, I’ll seize the vast lands held by the church, which sits idle. Industry, technology, agriculture, and commerce will thrive together. I will be the greatest Crown Prince France has ever seen! Thank you for the support, friends. If you want to read more chapters in advance, go to my Patreon.

This city is fueled by broken spirits, shattered dreams, and the blood and sweat of the common people. In a world drowning in chrome and silicon, Jax has a different philosophy: he refuses to be just another cog in the machine. He doesn't believe that roses can bloom on circuit boards, and he certainly doesn't believe in trading his humanity for a piece of corporate hardware. In the year 2077, everyone is obsessed with the latest upgrades. But in this world, crosshairs don't just appear in your mind, and high-end prosthetics aren't installed without a heavy price. Fortunately for Jax, he has a "Gold Finger"—a unique edge that the corporate elites never saw coming. Jax never wanted to be a legend. He had no grand plans to change the world or do something "big." He just wanted to guard his own little piece of land and live a quiet, decent life. But in Night City, peace is a luxury the powerful won't let you keep. They pushed him. They cornered him. And now, they’re going to regret it. "So now—it’s time to show everyone who the real legend is!" "Adam Smasher? That’s a powerful prosthetic you’ve got there, but luckily for me, my body is far from basic. Come on, touch it! I’ll show you what a true athlete is made of!" As for Arasaka Tower? It’s going down. The only question left is what color the nuclear explosion should be. "Oh, how about pink?" in case you want to support me (special benefits) p4treon.com/ThePlotHoleRefuge (+extra Chapters)
