Two hundred and fifty years ago, the apocalypse descended and with it the Game Origin Ascension Domain. Over a night, people transformed, some suddenly grew wings, some started producing lightning, some moved faster than a train and some forming flames that could melt a mountain. These people became known as Players. In today's society, Players dictate everything. Your entire worth is tied to your mana affinity and the Origin Talent you awaken upon your first time entering the Domain. ---- Caelus Kross. He was a transmigrator stuck at the absolute bottom of the barrel with an E-Rank mana affinity and a seriously terrible reputation.

However, the universe had a much stranger plan. Everything changed on the day he awakened. He did not get a glowing sword or a fancy fireball. He got a talent that allowed him to extract literally anything.

Elena Thorn never expected to cross paths with the ruthless and cold CEO, Ryan Redland who got rid of her like some nuisance. She never imagined that her fate would be sealed with him by a contract marriage, forced on them both. She is spoiled, free spirited, and daring. While, he is a man of control, order and silence. Despite the consistent tension, a costly romance simmers. What starts as a reluctant union quickly spirals to something sinister. With a dangerous love triangle, a vengeful, greedy and power-hungry secret rival in play, their union is one filled with love and betrayal. Can their bond survive the endless twists of deceit, pride, lust and betrayal? Will this contract be much more costly than they both bargained for?

In the shadowed halls of the Velistra estate, Ivy Richardson was born a mistake. The unwanted half-breed daughter of Lord Lucas, she grew up under cruelty and silence, while her siblings basked in power and favor. Her father buried the truth of her mother’s fate behind lies and violence, claiming she had run away with a human. The real story was far darker. On the night of the second full moon, beneath ancient trees heavy with ritual magic, Ivy believed she had been offered escape by the only person who had ever shown her kindness — her stepmother, Seraphina. What Ivy never realized was how deeply Seraphina had become obsessed with her. Those gentle touches and lingering gazes hid something far more dangerous. Instead of freedom, Ivy was tricked into a blood ritual, bound forever to Nicholas Vault, the most feared vampire in the Northeast. Now the wrong bride stands claimed. Old powers stir in her veins. And Seraphina’s obsession is only beginning.

A luxury-obsessed modern woman, Lavayla Kingsley, wakes up in a brutal beast world with nothing but her pajamas, her tote bag… and a mouthy system that roasts her more than it helps. At first, she was sure it was a dream — clinging to denial. But that illusion shatters the moment she stumbles across an abandoned beast baby in the forest… right as a monstrous python slithers in to make it a snack. Lavayla — who has only ever witnessed violence through a screen — does the most human thing possible: she panics, and saves the kid anyway, at the cost of her life. That one reckless, heroic, absolutely-what-were-you-thinking act binds her fate to the Beastworld forever… because the baby she rescued just so happens to be the nephew of one of the fiercest, most powerful, and most desired Beastmen on the continent. And now? That terrifying uncle wants to know who the strange human woman cradling his bloodline is. Now she’s stuck juggling a sarcastic survival system with questionable morals, a beastbaby who somehow counts as her “first mission,” territory wars, beastman politics, and man-eating creatures. But Lavayla Kingsley is nothing if not stubborn — and if the universe thinks dropping her into a savage world with no good food, no proper shelter, no shower, no proper clothing, no wifi, and no will to live is enough to break her? Hell fucking yes it is! Someone get her out of here, please!

Transmigrated by a literal slap from Aha, the Aeon of Elation, Leon finds himself thrust into the vast, star-faring universe of Honkai: Star Rail. But he isn't just an ordinary Trailblazer; he is an anomaly outside the bounds of destiny, capable of wielding the power of all eighteen Paths. His mere presence shatters the predictions of the Aeons, prompting the most powerful gods in the universe to form a cosmic chat group just to watch his daily antics. Armed with an impossibly thick skin and reality-bending powers, Leon decides to turn the galaxy into his personal playground. Why choose between Stelle and Caelus when you can hand-craft a second Stellaron and have both? Why follow the tragic script of Jarilo-VI when you can just hand the villain the script and force a happy ending? From flirting with the dangerous Stellaron Hunters to leaving the Genius Society utterly baffled by his biology, Leon rewrites the stars at his every whim. As Leon boards the Astral Express, he brings a storm of chaos, comedy, and overpowered dominance to every world he visits. But with the Interstellar Peace Corporation taking notice, the Lord Ravagers declaring war, and the Aeons watching his every move, the universe is about to realize that the greatest variable isn't a Stellaron—it's Leon. Will the galaxy survive his relentless pursuit of 'fun,' or will he accidentally conquer the cosmos while trying to build his ultimate harem?

"Ah, Young Master, Cassius?...I'm afraid you'll be dissapointed to hear that he's not available at the moment as he's 'attending' to his adopted mother in her room." Cassius's lovely maid, Isabelle said in a fluster while she heard lewd sounds escape from her Mistress's room. "No, I'm sorry to say that you can't meet Young Master today, since he's 'helping out' his sister-in-law with some 'favours' in her garden." The innocent Isabelle excused herself as she witnessed her lady's flower being picked, instead of the rest of the flowers in the garden. "I hate to say this sir but Young Master, Cassius is currently guiding Miss Knight in the 'ways of the sword', so you can probably only meet him tomorrow." Isabelle once again blocked the guests from entering, knowing that the sword her Young Master was handling could penetrate a body, but could never wound one. "I apologise once again as Young Master is at the Capital right now teaching a class to the female students in the Academy." Isabelle said with her cheeks flushed, already knowing that her master was taking a very 'practical' lesson about human reproduction with the girls in his class. "Oh my! The King wants to meet the Young Master?...Well I guess he'll have to wait since Young Master, Cassius has gone clothes shopping with the Queen." Isabelle lied to the King himself, knowing that her Young Master wasn't shopping for clothes and was actually removing the royal clothes off the Mother of the Country. Excuses...Excuses...The loyal maid, Isabelle had no choice but to make excuses for her Young Master, who was the most talked about and hated noble on the Continent because of his depraved escapades with all sorts of woman ranging from his own Family to Royalty itself and his Tyranical rule over his estate. And to think that not too long ago he was considered a wastrel noble, who was going to drink himself to death one day. ...When did it all begin she wondered as she excitedly walked into his room to get the reward she deserved for being such a loyal made, while someone else made excuses for her this time. •°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°• [No NTR - No sharing - No system that assists the protagonist - No mind control - No drugs or potions that influence the girls - No unnecessary Drama - Incest - Harem - Hardcore Netori - Slice of Life Romance - Demigirls - Elves - Vampires - Beast Girls - Slaves - Royalty - Finally a very competent protagonist] discord.gg/ujeKWchgeb

They gave her ruins. She built a home. After a brutal betrayal by her boyfriend and best friend ends in a fatal accident, Qin Lian wakes up inside a novel, as the fake daughter of the Qin family. Discarded overnight after the real daughter returns, she is forced to swap engagements and marry a rumored old pig farmer from the countryside who already has three children. Everyone mocks her fate. “Wasn’t she the arrogant, spoiled brat of the Qin family? Look at her now.” “She stole Mu Rouyu’s life for years. This ending suits her perfectly.” “Married to an old man with three children? Her life is finished.” They expect Qin Lian to spend the rest of her life buried in mud and regret, becoming a vicious stepmother trapped in a loveless marriage, while Mu Rouyu takes back everything that should have belonged to her. But the moment Qin Lian steps into that village… the story begins changing. Because the rumored old pig farmer is not old at all, but a dangerously handsome former soldier with broad shoulders, a cold face, and eyes that soften only for his wife. The children who were supposed to fear her slowly begin clinging to her side. The miserable life everyone expected never comes. Instead, while others wait for Qin Lian to fail, she quietly rises higher and higher, building businesses, earning wealth, and becoming someone even influential figures cannot ignore. And the people who once mocked her? They can only watch in disbelief as the discarded fake daughter becomes the most successful person among them all. Meanwhile, Mu Rouyu slowly realizes something she never expected. Even after taking back her identity… She still cannot win against Qin Lian. Especially when the man, once meant to stand beside Mu Rouyu, can’t stop looking at Qin Lian instead. But Qin Lian no longer cares about the people who betrayed her once before. This time, she won’t beg for love. She won’t fight for approval. And she certainly won’t lose. Because while they were waiting for her life to fall apart… Qin Lian was already building a life everyone else could only envy. .....Excerpt...... “Rouyu, your fiancé treats you so well.” “No wonder so many girls envy you and Officer Lin.” Surrounded by flattering voices, Mu Rouyu smiled faintly and glanced at the gold ring inside the counter. “Miss, this one is 480 yuan.” Her fingers paused. Too expensive. The saleswoman’s smile faded slightly as she quietly placed the ring back down. Mu Rouyu’s expression stiffened. Just then, the jewelry store doors opened. “Mom! That necklace is beautiful!” Mu Rouyu froze instantly. Qin Lian walked in beneath the crystal lights, three beautiful children surrounding her while the tall man beside her carried a cold, imposing aura that instantly drew attention. One of the girls whispered, stunned, “Who’s that man?” “So handsome…” Mu Rouyu’s fingers tightened. Wasn’t Qin Lian supposed to be suffering in the countryside? Qin Lian glanced at the necklace and shook her head lightly. “Forget it. It’s too expensive.” “Wrap it,” the man beside her said calmly. Qin Lian frowned. “Xu Yinchen.” “If you like it, why not buy it?” Then Mu Rouyu noticed something even worse. Lin Chengyan wasn’t looking at her anymore. His gaze was fixed entirely on Qin Lian, the regret in his eyes impossible to hide. ......xxxxx......

Rekka thought joining the Astral Express would be the start of a grand, romantic adventure across the stars. Instead, he is brutally murdered on his very first day by a legendary assassin. But death is only a minor inconvenience when you possess the ultimate cheat: 19 extra lives that refresh daily, each tied to a different cosmic Path! Reviving instantly, Rekka discovers that every day at midnight, his body, mind, and abilities randomly shift to match a new Path. One day he is a frail genius of Erudition, the next he is a terrifying Swarm Insect Emperor of Propagation, and the day after that, he might just manifest as the towering divine form of Preservation itself! Armed with this unpredictable and overpowered ability, Rekka turns the perilous journey of the Astral Express into his personal playground. Whether it is scaring the crew as a giant dragon, building a planetary-scale annihilation cannon to 'safely' clear out enemies, or casually abducting an Aeon to join the crew, Rekka's chaotic interventions completely derail the universe's established script. Alongside companions like the cheerful March 7th, the stoic Dan Heng, and the trash-can-loving Stelle, Rekka faces down Doomsday Beasts and Lord Ravagers with a mix of overwhelming power and sheer absurdity. But as Rekka's daily transformations grow increasingly ridiculous and powerful, he catches the attention of the universe's most dangerous entities. With the Stellaron Hunters watching his every move and the Lord of Silence waiting for the perfect moment to strike again, Rekka must navigate a galaxy full of threats while trying not to accidentally destroy it himself. What bizarre, world-breaking Path will he awaken to tomorrow, and can the universe even survive his 'help'?

From Pig-Faced Trash to the Most Wanted Mate in Beastworld! * * * Aurora died as she lived - feared, skilled, and alone. As a world-class assassin of the 21st century, she expected death to be the end. Instead, she awakens in a primitive Beastworld in the body of a girl who shares her name but nothing else. The original owner of her body was not only overweight, despised, and carried filthy reputation, but she's so hated that even children throw stones at her. And worst of all? She wakes up straddling a bound, enraged, devastatingly handsome Alpha wolf she apparently drugged in an attempt to force him into mating. Aurora immediately realizes she has transmigrated into a complete disaster. With death looming, a ruined name, and a body that can barely run - she has no time to panic. Especially not when a mysterious System binds itself to her and issues a cold command - [Save the Beastworld from extinction… or be erased.] In a world where females are rare, weak, and dying out, and powerful beastmen rule with instinct and dominance, Aurora must survive by relying on the only things she still owns - her deadly skills and forgotten medical knowledge.

Because this time, the "trash" female they all despised is the one who will make them kneel. --- **A reverse-harem fantasy romance filled with danger, humor, slow-burn love, and a heroine who refuses to be broken.**

Second place isn’t failure. In Liam Yoo’s world, it’s worse. It means you’re not worth anything. Liam grew up eating alone, reheating the same meal every night while other families laughed together while watching TV. He didn’t want power or money. He just wanted to cook. So when the first full-dive VR game launches, Liam decides to become a chef. Inside, he picks a frontline class, randomises his character, and ends up as a small girl. He doesn’t care. As long as he can cook, nothing else matters. Then he gets a cooking skill with a unique impact: a Legendary Talent no one else has. Absorption lets him eat monsters to unlock recipes, and his food gives buffs 10,000 times stronger to himself and 100 times stronger to others, turning meals into powerful gameplay advantages. Liam assumes everyone has this talent. They don’t. At first, it’s just a game. Players explore, stream, and fight. Liam bites monsters mid-combat and turns them into recipes. Then the system announces, "The game is locked." No logout. No escape. Anyone who dies in the game dies permanently, both in the game and in reality. Food becomes survival, but everything tastes like garbage, unless it’s made by Liam, whose ability somehow keeps flavour alive. And in a world where strength decides who lives, the strongest ability isn’t a weapon. It’s what he eats. https://discord.gg/YgRmjwBR ---------------------- 80 golden tickets = 3 extra chapters 100 golden tickets = 5 extra chapters dragon gift = 1 bonus chapter + you become a npc castle gift = 3 bonus chapters if hit, + you can kill an npc spacecraft gift = 5 bonus chapters + you can become a villan. gachapon gift = above rewards if hit become one of the gods, and all week i post 3 chapters a day instead of 2

Xiao Qingya was reincarnated as a pitiful cannon fodder in an ancient drama novel. Well, again.  In her grandfather’s generation, her maternal family was exiled. Now they worked in the countryside as farmers. But… this family wasn't ordinary farmers! The family was full of main characters, but also cannon fodder. The author wrote a lot of stories featuring the same universe. Her mother, father, brothers, and sisters were the future major characters. The mother was a female protagonist who went through so much abuse just to be reunited with her husband and awaken her memories in the previous life as a modern woman! The twin elder sisters’ lives were full of misunderstandings, the kind that would make them fight to the death until only one of them remained alive. The second brother lost his life just to protect the female lead, but unfortunately, the male lead in his story wasn’t him. And the eldest brother…  He was a prodigy in both martial arts and medicine. However, after he failed to save the sickly Xiao Qingya, he fell into depression. He was caught up in his younger twin sisters’ feud and eventually lost his life, too. *** The System fell silent. Another pitiful cannon fodder script for its host. Why did it even get bound to such a small baby who had no power to do anything yet? Its host was truly pitiful. This time around, she would also die young, just like the other books she had been reincarnated into. Feeling useless, it could only tell its host the truth.  Xiao Qingya didn't mind at all. Bored, she spent her time gossiping with ghosts. Yes, she could also see ghosts! However, just as she waited for her time to log off from the book… Eh, why did her parents reunite early? Her sisters lived peacefully with each other, and even her brothers thrived more than ever. Farming peacefully, they were saving themselves from famine and plague by hoarding! The family replied in their hearts: It’s because we heard your inner thoughts. You changed the family’s fate!

As long as he tilts his opponents and leaves them feeling absolute despair, he earns Emotion Points! These points can be exchanged for any deck, rare cards, and even supernatural abilities from the System Shop. Extreme Burn Decks? Toxic Stall Decks? The ability to see Duel Spirits? Even the power of Spirit Materialization? It is all within his grasp. While Kaiba and Yugi are busy summoning massive gods, Jiang He is slowly torturing his opponents with the most toxic traps in duel history. Dark Magician Girl: "I've decided to follow Jiang He, Master! Chu~!" Jiang He: "Dueling is all about bringing a 'smile' to your opponent's face... even if they are crying tears of absolute rage!"

He released the game Honkai: Star Rail to the actual inhabitants of the Star Rail universe! Before long, his game sparked an absolute frenzy across the cosmos. Deep secrets were exposed, and players lost their minds. When the players reached the Belobog Cocolia Boss Fight and the track Wildfire dropped: "Holy crap! How is a turn-based game this hype?! When the music kicked in, I honestly thought I was fighting an Aeon!" When the story progressed to Dan Heng parting the waters of the Scalegorge Waterscape: "Dan Heng, you still want to claim you aren't the Imbibitor Lunae?! You've already become a 5-star limited character!" Then came Penacony... "Help, I've caught the WHITE NIGHT fever!" "Acheron’s power level is broken! Family, pull for her with confidence!" "Duke Inferno: Children, this is not funny..." "Before the story: Aventurine is just a profit-seeking liar! After the story: May Gaiathra Triclops thrice close your eyes... Aventurine is my tragic, long-lost brother!" Watch as Lin Yu turns the universe upside down, rakes in cosmic wealth, and makes the Aeons themselves addicted to Gacha!

(A/N: Their relationship dynamic progresses and doesn't stay exactly like it is at the start (The one-sided love doesn't last long). Pacing is also relatively fast at the start, but slows down in the future in romance arcs.) In his old life, he was an assassin, invisible, efficient, and utterly alone.

The world is just as he remembers it, right down to the woman destined to fall. But this time, he’s not a bystander. With a lifetime of deadly skills and the knowledge of what’s to come, Cael sets out to rewrite the story itself, to protect Evelina, rise through the academy’s ruthless hierarchy, and change a fate written in stone. As alliances form and secrets surface, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur. And in a world built on power and prophecy, he’ll prove that even a villainess deserves her happy ending.
