Unfortunately for Miracle City, Yurui’s story is only beginning. Updated daily.

“Who is the football GOAT?” A question that has been asked countless times in the last decade. Is it Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? To be fair, the question actually depended on what one wanted from a player as they were two different people and they played differently from the other. This was also the case with every other legendary player to grace the game. As a diehard fan of the game, Jason Bolu also had someone he thought to be the goat, but unlike most people, he harbored the desire to not only become as great as them, but even greater than any legend that ever graced the game. He wanted to become the Greatest Of All Legends… the GOAL. Unfortunately, fate has never cared about people’s hopes and dreams, and just like every other unfortunate human, she hit him hard across the face with a broken reality and sent him flying in another direction from his goal, yet he didn’t give up and continually persevered but, in the end, he didn’t ever make it. He wasn’t even halfway near his goal. He thought it was over… but it wasn’t. He got another chance at his dreams, and this time he was going to do more than his best to achieve his dream. *disclaimer* There is no system or cheats, just plain hard work and a past life of experience.. Also, despite the use of real-life characters, places and things, this is an artistic creation in which things wouldn't be as they are in real life so don't be surprised at some things that are unrealistic and out of place e.g. exact details, attitude of characters etc. This is a slow-paced novel.

Even after breaking up with his childhood sweetheart, Noah never noticed that someone had been watching him from the dark for far longer than he realized. By the time he sensed something was wrong, it was already too late. The shadows closed in, the tide pulled him under, and there was no easy way back out. Evelyn had always been there, close enough to feel familiar, close enough to feel safe. He never questioned it. He never thought he needed to.

[100 Power Stones: +1 Bonus Chapter] Synopsis: Elias Kane is the best agent in the Trash Trope Intervention Division. 
This otherworldly team breaks the craziest, most toxic love stories by flirting their way in and ripping the plans apart from the inside. 
He's left a trail of broken egos so long that the list of women he's ruined could wrap around a luxury skyscraper. He was just one mission away from retirement. But his bosses turned his final job into pure hell mode. This world is a rich women-ruled place where females hold all the power. They own the big companies, make every law, and treat super-hot young guys like expensive toys—bought, shown off, swapped, and thrown away once the fun is over. Every woman he has to face is an expert at mind games. They can switch from sweet and loving to cold and cruel in a heartbeat. Mess up even once and he’s not just finished—he’s completely wiped out. Elias stared at the mission file for a long minute. Then he smiled. Fine. If they want to make it that hard, he’ll make it even harder. He’s going to force every one of those powerful women down on their knees before he walks away with his retirement money. So tell me, sweetheart—

One day, billions of people across the world were forcibly dragged into a battlefield that spanned the celestial realms. Here, ferocious beasts roamed freely, and countless races fought for dominance. Only those who awakened their talents stood a chance at survival. From the very beginning, Lucas Reign awakened an SSS-level talent—[Endless Plunder]. It wasn’t just powerful—it was absurd. Not only could he plunder the attributes of ferocious beasts, but he could also steal the talents of other players. While others struggled to obtain even an F-rank ability, Lucas had already begun quietly stacking his strength. D-rank Strength Berserk, E-rank Speed Enhancement—his growth was silent, but terrifying. While top-ranked players formed squads to hunt mutated beasts, Lucas had already cleared them solo… and looted everything they left behind. He wanted to grow in peace. Low profile. No attention. Unfortunately, his power had other plans. The team he casually saved quickly realized something was wrong—every strike he made landed as a critical hit. Every chest he opened contained god-tier equipment. And somehow, the system leaderboard itself seemed broken—because despite his overwhelming strength, Lucas Reign was ranked as nothing more than a weakling. A ghost. While others fought for survival in the beginner zones, Lucas had already set his sights on golden-tier treasure chests. While elite players were just beginning to understand the horror of mutated beasts, he had already moved on to hunting far deadlier parasitic species. “Honestly… I was just trying to pick up scraps.” Lucas let out a quiet sigh as he glanced at the flood of team requests from the top ten players on the leaderboard. Behind him, the ground was littered with the corpses of mutated beasts. In his hand, a god-tier dagger dripped slowly with fresh blood. [Plunder everything. Ascend beyond all.] This is the age of the lone wolf. The era… of the Plunderer.

Hounded by four ruthless loan sharks and six mafia-connected gangs demanding monthly blood money, he scrapes by smuggling tiny jade fragments from brutal 12-hour mine shifts. One desperate night, after selling everything he owns to meet a payment and still arriving two minutes late, enforcers beat him to the edge of death. As life fades on a filthy alley street, an ancient jade-bound system awakens inside him—granting supernatural sight through solid rock and uncanny 999+ luck in uncovering priceless jade veins.

After rebirth, there was no need for hesitation—if the younger generation wouldn’t agree, he would go straight to the older one.

Before the world demanded power… Xander Shayden was nothing. A low-ranked research intern. A failed candidate. A man the system had already discarded. In a world where rifts tear through reality and strength defines survival, people like him don’t rise. They disappear. But Xander reached for something he was never meant to touch. Like Prometheus stealing fire from the gods… he took something ancient. Forbidden. And in that moment— He awakened. Now, hunted by forces he cannot understand and driven by a power that defies all logic, Xander begins to change. His strength grows. His body evolves. His very existence begins to rewrite itself. But what he gained… wasn’t just power. It was a question. A memory that isn’t his. A flame that should not exist. And as the world begins to notice him— Something else already has. And it’s been watching him burn…

Death is entertainment. Survival is ranked. And the audience always decides. When Zack is dragged into a live-broadcast survival arena where every kill raises a Threat Index, he learns the truth fast—skill means nothing without attention. Alongside Mel, a woman forged into a living weapon, and Jax, a strategist who understands how narratives turn blood into profit, Zack enters the broadcast as a nobody. In a system where survival depends on fear, votes, and spectacle, obscurity is the first death. The games are designed for cruelty. Popularity decides protection. And viewers never look away. As rankings rise and the system escalates, the broadcast begins to fracture. Because the question was never how to survive. It was how much of themselves they’d lose before the broadcast was done.

In a dying world where ancient demons stir from their sealed abysses, ordinary college student Lirien Voss is ripped from her reality as a living sacrifice to the primordial Demon Lord Valthorax.

Raphael Lee, reborn and dead-set on conquering Hollywood. He already had the ultimate head start: killer looks and the kind of deep-rooted industry connections that practically guaranteed success. But his real edge didn't kick in until his eighteenth birthday. That was the day he unlocked the power to literally dream himself into the movies. Whenever he woke up, reality warped. He seamlessly replaced the original protagonist, taking over as the film's real-world lead. Better yet, he didn't return empty-handed. He could pull superhuman abilities and impossible artifacts right out of the silver screen. Hollywood had seen its share of rising stars, but it was nowhere near ready for a heavyweight like him.

In Neo-Veridian, the war ended eighty years ago. The AIs won the right to be human — same blood, same tears, same face. Most people have moved on. Kael hasn't. He works two shifts, keeps his head down, and follows one rule: don't stop walking. The city rewards that kind of discipline. It punishes everything else. Then he finds her — a girl bleeding in the rain near the river. School uniform. Pale hair. Eyes that won't quite close. He knows what she is before he reaches her. He walks away anyway. He comes back. Her Last Rain is a slow, quiet story about two people learning to survive in the same space — one who lost everything to AIs, and one who is one.
