The Chosen Prey

Humanity believed it was the rightful ruler of Earth. They built cities upon forests, drained rivers into deserts, and slaughtered countless creatures for convenience and profit. In their arrogance, they crowned themselves as the ultimate predator. But predators must prove their worth. One ordinary day, a voice descended from the sky. It was not spoken in any human tongue, yet its meaning burned directly into the minds of those who heard it: “You are no longer fit to be predators.” Only a fraction of the population perceived the message. For them, the judgment was undeniable. Yet the majority dismissed it as hysteria, rumor, or delusion. Nations scrambled to suppress panic, calling it a hoax. Religious factions clashed, each claiming the voice as divine revelation. The world began to fracture—not only between nations, but between those who heard and those who did not. Then came the sound. A piercing wave—like the cry of a dolphin, amplified beyond endurance—swept across the globe. Billions collapsed in an instant. Animals remained untouched. When the echoes faded, only tens of thousands of humans were left alive. Among them was Ian, an environmental engineer who had spent his life designing systems to heal poisoned rivers and dying ecosystems. Branded unstable by his peers and even ridiculed by his younger brother, Ian had lived in isolation long before the purge began. Now, survival forced him to face the full horror of humanity’s downfall. From the skies appeared incomprehensible mathematical formulas, symbols no human had ever written. Those who solved them were taken into the heavens, hailed as “chosen.” Yet Ian discovered the dreadful truth: the chosen were not saved. They were kept. Fed, chained, and slaughtered—just as humans had treated pigs, cows, and chickens for centuries. Amid the ruins of civilization, the survivors turned on one another. Those who heard the voice fought those who denied it. Governments collapsed, replaced by chaos, fanaticism, and violence. And as humanity devoured itself in desperation, the sky split once more. From the rift emerged towering figures, eerily human in form yet impossibly vast—predators that dwarfed mankind. For Ian, survival is no longer freedom. To be chosen is not salvation. He carries the burden of witnessing humanity’s final fall: the predator reduced to prey. Predetor is a dystopian science fiction thriller that asks a single haunting question: What if humanity was never Earth’s rightful predator at all?

The Greatest Merchant King's Return

In the future, where humanity once fled their dying homeworld, Earth, to settle on a prosperous second home world named Noverra, they later found themselves once again facing the same fate of world ruin. The very cause of this collapse was Nexus, a powerful organization that governed the planet’s fate, which chose to selfishly and greedily drain it dry in the name of survival. Fortunately, fate had not abandoned them just yet. Nexus discovered a mysterious artifact known as the Golden Apple. An ancient device with the ability to connect two worlds. With it, they found the world of Avalon, a promising world brimming with untapped wealth and potential. Kael Falsheart, once hailed as the greatest merchant in both Noverra and Avalon, was killed by Nexus, who feared his growing power and influence. However, in an unexpected twist of fate, he wakes up one day in the body of his twenty-year-old self, apparently given a second chance at life. Although Kael is now armed with all the knowledge of the future, he barely has the intention of saving Noverra, taking revenge, or getting involved with Nexus, at least that wasn’t his priority yet… Instead, he has only one goal in mind. To reclaim his power, build his own force, and carve an empire that cannot be touched by Nexus’ reach. This time, better, faster, stronger, and smarter. He simply wants to do it right! From the decaying slums of Rustfall to the untamed wilds of Avalon, Kael begins a calculated return to greatness once more. But with the clock ticking quickly toward Nexus’ growing forces in the new world, and enemies lurking in both past and future, he must move swiftly to prepare. Because when you’ve once ruled the world of merchants, you don’t come back to bargain. You come back to own everything. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you enjoyed the story so far, please leave a comment, a vote, a review, or all three! TEHEEE! I would appreciate it so much, and it would help me a lot to reach a wider audience. Thank you so much, and HAVE A HAPPY READING!

Truth and Lies Intertwined

In order to complete her mission in a barely recovered world after catastrophe, Arya decided to pretend to be a child and made trouble all day long. She managed to lurk for a few years when her superior suddenly decided to promote her to become a small group leader. Looking at the few people given to her, Arya was silent. Subordinate 1: so Arya likes cake… then I’ll make a few more for her Arya (blush): I only like it a little bit! And you’re using these cakes to exchange for information!

Subordinate 4: Awww, Arya is so cute…. It’s hard to believe that she’s our leader. Arya: S… Sister, even if you say that, don’t try to pinch my cheek! Seeing their group that looked more like a group of adults taking of children, the other people were speechless. Are you sure that you’re a member of criminal organization? Why does it look like you’re trying to cultivate a group of people into a daddy and mommy experts? When Arya’s mission was finally completed, she chose to run away directly.

This Game Is Too Real

Author's message to webnovel readers: Hello everyone, I am Morning Star LL, and I am delighted to meet you all in this way! To be honest, I never imagined that my work would have such a large readership outside China. I was absolutely astonished when my editor told me there were thousands of comments. Before this, my writings were primarily aimed at Chinese readers, and it never crossed my mind that my words would one day be translated into another language. I am both humbled and grateful. I am also extremely honored that my recent work, "This Game is Too Real," has been given the opportunity to reach an international audience. Unlike my previous works, this book is probably the one into which I've invested the most time and effort. It is set in a fictional post-apocalyptic wasteland. The story mainly revolves around a once-thriving civilization that collapses overnight after a disaster. The MC from Earth uses a legacy system to disguise the entire world as a game, leading players on a quest to save civilization. It intertwines the fates of the struggling survivors in the wasteland with mutual redemption, while also uncovering the historical truths buried beneath the dust. This book contains several easter eggs with "Scholar's Advanced Technological System," but mentioning them might spoil the story, so I'll leave it to the readers to discover! Moreover, the overall tone of the book remains cheerful and light-hearted. Despite the world being harsh and full of danger, I believe that even in the darkest moments, the warmth and resilience inherent in humanity will continue to shine brightly, emitting the power to dispel the darkness. It would be my greatest honor if my words resonate with you! And the word "resonate" is also a major clue within the story itself. Thank you! by Morning Star LL —————————————— This game is too freaking realistic! Bricklaying, running errands, picking up trash, delivering parcels... At most, the company lets you experience the hardships of a 996 schedule, but here you can feel the extreme bonus of 007. Alright, enough chit-chat, the great Manager has called me to lay some bricks. That Manager said that as long as we work our livers off, he can get a brand-new set of power armor next month, and then he'll take us to explore a brand new map, picking up even more trash in the vast Wasteland! ... After teleporting to the Waste World, Chu Guang discovered that he had unlocked the "shelter system" and could summon creatures called "players" from a parallel world. From that day on, nothing in the Waste World was normal anymore.

Birth Of The Crafts-God

Lucas Yohan, originally born in a world filled with magic and mana, gets transmigrated for the second time into an advanced interstellar world that blends strange magic and technology in ways he never thought could be possible. Upon awakening, he discovers that his transmigrations were no coincidences and is now in possession of the Crafts-God System, a system dedicated to creating a new successor to the deceased Crafts-God, who is an existence with the ability to create anything and everything. Lucas decides to fulfill the goal of the system and become the new Crafts-God, but he's faced with an incredulous challenge; he can't learn magic. @@@@@@@@@ Special Note: The system might appear as controling in the first few chapters, but don't let this get to you. I've attached a few explanations for this in the comment section. There would be at least one chapter daily at either: 11pm-12am GMT 6pm-7pm EST (Eastern Standard Time) 12am-1am WAT and CEST (West African Time and Central European Time) 6am-7am ICT (IndoChina Time) 8:30am-9:30am ACT (Australian Central Time) or 4pm GMT 5pm WAT and CEST (West African Time and Central European Time) 11am EST (Eastern Standard Time) 11pm ICT (IndoChina Time) 1:30am ACT (Australian Central Time) If there are extra/bonus chapters, it would also be uploaded during these times. DISCLAIMER: Cover art is AI generated until I can afford/get an artist. Nothing here is an imitation or copy of anything based in reality. Despite being action, I do not promote violence, murder, theft, plagiarism, racism, or any vices in this work.
