The Silent Matchmaker System

Heartbreak isn’t the end of the world; it’s the beginning of something new and, of course, something good. This is the story of a young man named Luke who, in his own mind, was born under a bad sign. He’s twenty years old and still a virgin, having never even been in a relationship. His teenage years were swallowed up by the family cafe, working to support himself and his two younger siblings after their parents passed away and left the shop to the children. As of now, he has been rejected by the girl of his dreams 100 times, a streak that has lasted from middle school all the way through college. But in reality, he is a handsome, hot guy. The proof is in the cafe’s customers, who are mostly women—ranging from students to career professionals—who come just to enjoy the coffee and get some eye candy by looking at the barista, Luke. Beyond that, the cafe has become a prime spot for matchmaking, because so many girls go there specifically to find a partner. What actually happened was that the 100 girls who rejected Luke felt a wave of regret when they saw his true, attractive appearance. On campus, he only wore plain, baggy clothes inherited from his late father because he saving money for cafe. Naturally, those 100 girls started flocking to the cafe, hoping Luke would confess his feelings to them one more time, and of course, this time they wouldn't turn him down. But since he already felt the sting of rejection, Luke simply ignored them. This is what triggered the girls to become miserable. If one of them was feeling down and a guy happened to approach her, they would start dating on the spot as a way to vent and erase the heartache. Or, for those who were desperate but still wanted to try, they would go outside, grab a random man, and make him an instant boyfriend just to make the indifferent Luke jealous—though in the end, those girls usually ended up actually dating the men they brought in. Luke had no clue this was happening, nor did he know that a System had attached itself to him. Every time a couple formed in the cafe because of him and completed a secret system task, Luke would receive a reward in the form of cash. Naturally, Luke was confused because he was suddenly receiving quite a lot of money out of nowhere. Eventually, he began to think, "The more I get rejected, the more money I'll get," without ever knowing the truth because the system inside him was a silent one that never told him a thing. This is the story of Luke's journey through his daily life, along with his two siblings and friends, who are secretly helped by a system that never shows anything except from behind the scenes, namely letting the girl who approaches him despair and then get a match in a cafe.

Plants vs Dungeon

When dungeon gates opened across the world, it became a gold rush. Hunters chased glory. Guilds chased power. Corporations chased profit. Phong Tran awakened as a Level 1 Farmer. No skills. No passives. A broken EXP bar that never moved. So he sold energy drinks instead. Leg warmers. Electrolytes. Power banks. If everyone else was digging for gold, he’d sell the shovels. Then Josh came. University golden boy. Gym-built. Son of a man who could erase problems with a phone call. “Protection fee.” Phong refused. He woke up in a hospital bed, beaten within an inch of death. His aunt and uncle were gone. No bodies. No investigation. No media coverage. Just silence. Then, as if the universe had a sense of humor, his system finally gave him a quest: Plant and harvest 10 potatoes in the dungeon. That’s it. No penalties. No forced missions. No ticking clock. No promise of justice. Just a choice. Phong takes it. The potatoes mutate. Then other plants followed. Chilies spit burning rounds. Sweet potatoes bulk up into blunt-force bruisers. Garlic turns chemical-warfare illegal. Enoki mushrooms rattle like dungeon-grade machine guns. His crops become his frontline. Phong doesn’t want to conquer the dungeon. He wants to build something inside it. A farm. A hearth. A settlement for people tired of being disposable. He won’t let revenge be the only thing he grows. Revenge lit the spark. But it won’t be the only thing he grows. And if the most powerful man in the city comes looking to finish what his son started... He’ll learn something the dungeon already knows. This farm fights back.

Primordial Absolute

For decades, the world has lived under the shadow of "The Grandeur." What started as a global pandemic evolved into a divine lottery—a celestial disease that drags the chosen into the crushing depths of The Divine Lake. Those who survive the crossing return as Apostles, hosting fragments of gods and wielding powers that defy the laws of physics. Those who fail? They return as The Drowned—shattered husks who have lost their minds to the weight of the deep, becoming rampaging monsters that haunt the city’s shadows. Zylas is a nobody. At eighteen, he is just another mundane student living in the soot of an Apostle-led society, watching the elite "Sink" into tiers of legendary power while he struggles to pass his exams. He has no spark, no god, and no future beyond the corporate grind. Until the day he turns the wrong corner. Trapped in an alley with a Tier 2 Drowned, Zylas is dragged into a version of the Divine Lake that no textbook has ever described. There, he encounters an entity that makes the world's "Gods" look like flickering candles. He doesn't return with a spark. He returns with something cold, silent, and absolute. Now, Zylas is the anomaly in the system. While the world's greatest Hallows and Impures flaunt their auras, Zylas remains a "Zero"—a boy with no detectable power. But in the heat of combat, the truth emerges: he doesn't just fight his opponents. He reflects them. Every strike, every divine ability, and every legendary technique used against him is turned back on the user—perfected, inverted, and lethal. Recruited by the prestigious Meridian Academy under the watchful eye of a suspicious professor, Zylas must navigate a den of high-ranking predators. In a hierarchy built on the strength of one’s God, the boy with "nothing" is about to prove that a mirror is most dangerous when it has no reflection of its own.
