Max, a man who has chosen a different, slower path. Most active players who haven't given up on completing the game go to higher floors soon after they get unlocked, if not immediately. However, the main character thinks that there must be a reason each world is so large and detailed. There must be a reward for exploring a world thoroughly, even if it has been cleared after defeating the main boss monster. And so, he decides to stay and do what he has always loved to do in video games, explore and discover. To embark on an epic adventure. Or maybe he was simply scared in the early stages of the game. This is a deadly game after all, one in which millions are trapped.

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)

Roland arrived in the world of Cyberpunk in 2066 — and awakened the PROJECT System. From that moment on, another giant began to quietly rise within the neon sprawl of Night City. Years later, Roland sat by the window, a small mechanical spider with a mantis-shaped head resting in his palm, a pet lizard curled in his arms. The world outside was still dazzling, the city still alive — yet somewhere along the way, something had quietly shifted. During an interview, when someone brought up the Arasaka Corporation, they casually asked: “Arasaka Tower? There’s no such building in Night City — at least, not below…” The man slowly lifted his head, his eyes reflecting the city skyline — and behind him, a massive inverted triangle blazed with the blinding white PROJECT logo.

In the year 3751, humanity no longer rules only Earth. Civilization has spread across planets, dimensions, and galaxies where cultivation, advanced technology, and ancient energies coexist. Powerful warriors capable of destroying cities stand beside futuristic empires powered by spirit technology, while countless species fight for dominance among the stars. At the center of this vast world stands Ling High School, one of humanity’s elite cultivation academies responsible for training future protectors, generals, and dimensional warriors. And within that academy exists Huang Ming. A first-year student ranked at the very bottom. A Trainee Warrior. Born into poverty within Meiying City, Huang struggles simply to survive among monstrous geniuses blessed with overwhelming talent, powerful bloodlines, and advanced cultivation techniques. Compared to students like Luna Ling, a legendary warrior saint candidate, or Kael Riven, the terrifying prodigy of the Elite Division, Huang appears painfully ordinary. Weak. Untalented. Forgettable. But hidden beneath Huang’s unstable body lies something abnormal. Something that should not exist. While others follow structured cultivation systems built upon perfection and balance, Huang’s body evolves through instability, adaptation, and collapse. His cultivation refuses to follow normal laws, causing his energy, meridians, and even existence itself to fluctuate irregularly. Then one night— Huang awakens a mysterious female system named Lyra inside a fractured inner dimension hidden deep within his soul. Together, they begin walking a path never meant to exist. A path capable of breaking the laws of cultivation itself. As humanity faces dimensional invasions, alien civilizations, higher realms, and ancient beings beyond comprehension, Huang slowly discovers that his existence may be connected to something far greater than anyone realises. In a universe ruled by rankings, talent, and perfection— Huang Ming may become the one anomaly capable of surpassing them all.

You think you can understand Chaos? Foolish! Chaos isn't merely disorder; it is the ultimate paradox - Life and death, creation and destruction, the beginning and the end. In a hyper-advanced future built on quantum technology, humanity is awakened by the same energy tearing the universe apart. Entities from a higher dimension invade, forcing humans to the brink of extinction. In the shadows of this broken world, Missio Augustus wanders aimlessly like a lost soul, fighting his own inner darkness. As the Lieutenant General of the Black ops division, he goes on a mission to capture an international kingpin but experiences his life-long trauma once again. While falling into depression, he watches as an ancient church brings mayhem upon humanity... This is a relaunch of my original work.

In the year 3058, humanity has spread across the stars, fueled by a mysterious cosmic metal called MILTONS. This rare energy source powers intergalactic travel, weapons, and even DNA enhancements, creating a universe teeming with alien civilizations and superpowered humans. But among the stars, darkness stirs. The universe is ruled by the Lords of the Twelve Galaxies, fearsome beings who dominate worlds with unimaginable power—and one prophecy haunts them: a child born of a human and a legendary cosmic warrior will rise to overthrow them. That child is Ren Arashi, a seventeen-year-old with black hair streaked in silver, glowing blue eyes, and cosmic energy coursing through his veins. Raised in secret on the hidden planet Elarion, Ren grows unaware of his destiny… until the truths about his father’s death, his mother’s secrets, and his own incredible powers are revealed. Now, Ren must gather allies, awaken his latent cosmic abilities, and challenge the Twelve Galaxy Lords. Across galaxies filled with danger, betrayal, and war, a single question remains: can one young warrior reshape the fate of the universe?

Kael did not come to Farin by choice. A quiet village... untouched by fear, where no one expects danger.. and no one expects him. His strength is fading. His magic remains silent. And something within him... is changing. He feels it. In the way his body weakens. In the way his thoughts are no longer entirely his. Farin is not a place for strangers. And Kael is not something that can remain unseen. The longer he stays... the closer everything begins to close around him.

People ask the wrong question. They look at the ruins—at the gods who fell too late and the thrones that collapsed under their own weight—and ask: How did you get here? Wrong question. The right one is simpler. What were you before all of this? Adrian Wilbert. A failed noble. He spoke at three months, cast fire at one year, was expelled from the arcane academy at five—and has never prayed since. Inside him sleeps a "Fragment of the Old Creator." His power: Adaptation—evolve every time you fail. Learn any spell the moment you see it. And an ocean of infinite mana that you cannot fully control. He only wanted an ordinary life. To read novels. To be left alone. But the world volunteered to break him first. A dark syndicate that trades in human flesh. A secret coalition of monsters, already moving their pieces. The girl he loved chose someone else. And his father—was murdered before his eyes. Grief-stricken, abandoned, he did what the broken always do. He kept moving. But losing is part of his power. Every time he fell... he came back different. Before he knew it, he had become strong. Too strong. — And then he gained Madness. "I alone am worthy to rule this world." The 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

During the Chunin Exams, a mysterious live stream hijacks all screens, revealing two impossible lives of Naruto Uzumaki. In one world, the despised Jinchuriki rose to become Hokage through unshakable will and talk-no-jutsu. In another, a calculating Naruto, aware of his origins from the start, single-handedly revived the Uzumaki clan—not for Konoha's sake, but for its eventual reckoning. The revelations send shockwaves through the afterlife and the living: Tobirama: "This boy was born evil! And he dares to court Tsunade?!" Hashirama: "Tobirama... we're dead. And I'm more concerned about the 'reckoning'." Madara: "Black Zetsu, explain. Now. Or disintegrate." Kushina: "That's my boy! The Uzumaki will rise again!"

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. ]

If the gods no longer bestow their mercy, then let us kindle bonfires, carry great swords, become skeletons, or heroes of legend.

You may admire me, but there's no need to worship me; - Together, we punish those who claim to be gods! ... Dreams reflect reality, and more and more people begin to spread his name and words across the land. Only then does Xu Shu realize that the life he simulated has far-reaching effects, like a butterfly flapping its wings! And those rampant Outer Gods finally recall the fear that once dominated them... He dies thousands of times on the path to ascension, and another night passes in the Primordial Scroll. Suddenly looking back, he has shattered both heaven and earth. "I, Xu Shu, am a crude person. My apologies, fairy!" ---

Dreams are… a reality that only those who are capable can speak about. This was an era marked by the births of geniuses! This was an era where heroes could be found everywhere!

In the neon of blue and purple, under the thick steel sky, at the forefront of this surge of data, lies the world post-tech revolution. It's also the dividing line between reality and illusion. Steel and flesh, past and future. In this place, the world outside and inside coexist. Everything in front of us feels like a wall of time within reach. The darkness is slowly creeping in. But hey, my friend, you gotta know, we can't just counter darkness with softness. Gotta use fire.
