Discord Link: https://discord.gg/G4kJnNXxp Samar, middle age man also a top rank gamer find him self reincarnated in his favorite game as an extra character The Game That he Played of Eight year, The Worlds of Hunter . Arcade Academy trains the heirs of empires, clans, and guilds to become the next generation of heroes. But Michael Willson is different. With memories of this world as a game, he isn’t here to play the protagonist’s role — he’s here to survive, outsmart fate, and carve a place of his own. When every trial twists under his hidden knowledge, rivals begin to whisper his name. Is he ally, enemy… or the greatest threat Arcade has ever seen? Even it means to take the place of the Hero! -------------------- In a world where strength determines destiny, youths across kingdoms and clans dream of entering Arcadia Academy, the greatest institute for hunters, knights, and magi. It is here that the heirs of noble houses, royal bloodlines, and guild legacies gather to hone their talents — and claim supremacy over the future. But for Michael Willson, things are different. Once a nameless outsider with no family or backing, he possesses only one weapon: knowledge. By a twist of fate, Michael has memories of Arcadia not as a student… but as a game. Every trial, every event, every hidden danger — he knows them all. And he intends to use this knowledge not to play the hero, but to survive. Thrown into the brutal Survival Trial, Michael faces monsters, rival cadets, and even death itself. While the world sees a ruthless tactician who outpaces prodigies from the mightiest families, Michael only sees ticking clocks and looming disasters. His choices ripple beyond expectation: saving people he was never meant to, stealing victories meant for others, and twisting the threads of fate that once belonged to Arcadia’s destined protagonists. Now, as the trial ends and the cadets march toward the Academy’s grand halls, alliances begin to form and rivalries sharpen. Leon Lionheart, heir of justice. Selena Veylan, royal shadow. Edric William, the arrogant scion of the strongest family. And countless others. Yet in every glance, every whisper, one truth becomes clearer: Michael Willson is no mere background character. He is the variable, the shadow, the one unseen by fate’s design. Arcadia is about to begin. And Michael will rewrite the story. ----- Tags: #Progression ,#Fantasy, #LitRPG, #GameLit, #Academy, #System, #Swordsmanship, #Adventure #Action #Magic #Dungeon | #Weak-to-Strong #Rivalry #Hidden Identity #Isekai, #Overpowered

Zhuangzi's Butterfly. 'The Elusive Butterfly of Consciousness. '

“The machines conquered the world. What they can’t conquer is the dream that makes us human.” In the distant future of the multiverse, where AI rules the Earth, humans are slaves. The machines are logical, ruthless, and immortal — yet they are haunted by their lack of true consciousness. A group of human rebels devises a daring plan to exploit that weakness by convincing the machines that they can gain consciousness by reliving the emotionally charged combat experience of real WW2 fighter pilots. A sophisticated illusion that gives the rebels vital time to delay a machine offensive to destroy humanity. Later, the war becomes not just a physical but a spiritual conflict between good and evil, and the same team of rebels returns to a future alternative world, almost identical to the original. It is here that their leader, David, must identify and kill the Satanic personification of evil who lives in this world, disguised as an ordinary man. Guided by the mysterious Lingzhe—beings who understand that mind, not logic, birthed the universe—they must battle not only Satan but also the AI machines who have become his agents. In this evolutionary war between man and machine, good and evil, there can only be one winner. ALSO SEE THE PREFACE AND THE PROLOGUE *** Copyright. A. McCaffrey.

The Eternal King Enki — The Undying Witness

A cosmic court has condemned humanity. Seven immortal witnesses return to the dawn of civilization to prove — or disprove — its worth. Most fall. Power twists them into tyrants, idols, and architects of sterile utopias. Only one chooses another path. Across centuries, Enki walks among mortals unseen, planting knowledge instead of monuments, nurturing fragile lives instead of controlling them. He learns that meaning is not found in eternal empires, but in fleeting acts of grace — a hand lifted from mud, a garden built from flood-ruins, a child taught to listen to water. His defense is not glory. It is tenderness. It is persistence. It is humanity’s quiet refusal to stop loving, even knowing all things end. A mythic tale about time, loss, and choosing to build anyway. [Beneath the myth and the science fiction lies a simple, stubborn claim: this is not just a story. Enki was born in 2850 BC and has been carrying the memory ever since. The names are changed, the years shifted, the moons given new orbits, yet the resurrection happened, the desert temptation was real, the stone rolled away, and the Judge has been reigning ever since. Everything else — the Scrapbook, the 0.3%, the blind spot in the machine — is simply the record of those who kept looking up while the world looked down. Most have forgotten there is a sky vaster than any mind can hold, that Earth is a gift, not a possession, that God drew no borders and the birds still fly free without passports. Read it as fiction if you like. Some books are written so the truth can reach the few who still have ears to hear. This is one of them.] 2025 Mark Casa Nova (Original) You may share, translate, adapt, illustrate, animate, film, or perform this work freely — even commercially — on one unbreakable condition: Do not change the lesson. The resurrection happened. The stone was rolled away. Grace is real, borders are not, and the birds still fly free. Everything else — style, medium, language — is yours to play with. The core is not. That’s all I ask. [Mark K. Carlos]

The Wasteland Survivor

In 2042, fifteen years after the Red Ash Catastrophe turned Earth into a crimson desert, Kalen Voss is a ghost of the wastelands—lean, sharp-eyed, and haunted by a promise. His mother, a UN medic, died saving scavengers from radiation wolves, whispering one final plea: “Find the North Star Outpost. It has the meds. It has the truth.” His father followed, sacrificing himself to a sandworm to let Kalen escape. Now, Kalen treks toward the Ninth Safe Zone, armed with a car-spring machete and his mother’s Serbian medical emblem, determined to honor their legacy.​ But the Ninth Safe Zone is no refuge. Ruled by Blackstone Security, a ruthless group led by Victor Kim, it’s a den of corruption: Victor sells fake antibiotics laced with sawdust to dying scavengers, while his enforcer Tyson (a 6’5” brute with tattooed skulls) hunts anyone who protests. To infiltrate Blackstone and steal clues to the North Star Outpost, Kalen fakes loyalty—risking his life to uncover Victor’s lies.​ He doesn’t fight alone. He teams with Rico, a quick-witted Mexican smuggler who owes him a debt; Zoe, a rebel doctor grieving her sister’s death from Victor’s fake meds; Lena, a journalist hiding footage of Victor bribing government officials; and Masoud, an Iranian ex-medic who knew Kalen’s mother—and has a map to the outpost… if Kalen helps him reclaim stolen medical supplies. Together, they raid Blackstone’s warehouses, expose the fake pill racket, and discover a chilling truth: Victor is also hunting the North Star Outpost, eager to monopolize its untainted meds and rule the wastelands.​ By Chapter 20, the stakes explode. Kalen’s team blows up Victor’s fake pill stockpiles, but Tyson’s men ambush them. As they flee the Safe Zone, Kalen learns the outpost holds more than meds—it’s home to a vaccine that could heal the radiation-scarred earth. But Victor’s forces already have its coordinates. Will Kalen reach the outpost first… or die trying?​ Every chapter ends with a knife-edge cliffhanger—will Zoe’s radiation cure work? Can Lena leak her footage before Blackstone kills her? For fans of The Hunger Games (rebellion) and Mad Max (gritty survival), this is your next obsession. Subscribe now to see if Kalen keeps his promise… or if the wastelands claim him.
