GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

[Note for contest: even if it doesn't look like it, it adheres to the theme] Just as magic was limitless in it's potential benefits, the potential evils one could do with it were limitless as well.

Within his soul, there were unreasonable amounts of mana being constantly used to power an unknown spell. The spell, powerful as it was, nonetheless did nothing to disturb his daily life. At least, Jane hoped it would stay that way.

Three hundred years ago, a time marked by bloodshed, a war raged on between three nations that seemed never-ending. The humans, whose resolve burned bright at the thought of losing, believed themselves to be the pinnacle of evolution. The seraphim, with souls that glimmered in magnificent golden hues, descended like angels from the heavens, wielding power that no one could ever hope to replicate. And then there were the hollows, whose crimson void engulfed all in darkness and despair. All this bloodshed was fought for a cause they deemed "worthy": the Soul Tree, an almost infinite source of energy. If one faction were to acquire it, they would have enough energy to last—forever.

Countless people with dreams, hopes and ambitions came to the club, exchanging everything precious they owned just to fulfill their desires. They would offer their lifespan, items, and even their soul. Each successful trade would increase Luo Qiu’s lifespan by a little. “Tribute successful, your lifespan has increased by 99 years.” Thus, Luo Qiu began his endless life as the club’s boss.

But when he enters the academy, he discovers new things he never knew in his nine lives, completely throwing his plans into disarray. Furthermore, the queen, nicknamed the "Cold Queen," holds more or less the same secret as himself. How will the trash prince fare in his tenth life with the Ice Queen who always kills him?

Kael Ardyn's life runs smoother than a premium subscription—wake, work, eat System-approved oats, repeat. In a world micromanaged by an all-powerful AI called The System, everything from your career to your wardrobe is gently nudged toward "optimal outcomes." Kael’s fine with that. He’s not a rebel. He's a logistics analyst who appreciates clean UI and zero surprises. Then the System glitches. One day, Kael’s interface hiccups with an ominous red flash: [ERROR: UNRECOGNIZED COMMAND] Suddenly, fate isn’t scripted anymore. Orders arrive garbled, daily life bugs out, and Kael narrowly avoids a “routine” accident the System failed to catch. Worse? The System is pretending nothing happened. Armed with an erratic interface that lobs cryptic quests and misfires menus, Kael stumbles into a hidden layer of reality—complete with secret subroutines, shady administrators, and a sarcastic quest-giver who may or may not be sentient. As the errors escalate, Kael realizes this isn’t a bug. It’s a chance. Maybe even freedom. But unshackling fate has consequences… especially when the System starts treating him like the problem. A witty sci-fi story with heart, glitches, and just enough meta to make you question your own status bar.

Han Rowan, a young man raised in poverty, saw his lifelong dream within reach. Having passed the grueling college entrance exam as one of the top scorers, he was poised to enter university and study Pharmacy, a profession he deeply desired. College was the key to escaping his circumstances and making his dream a reality. However, on the very cusp of his new life, fate delivered a cruel twist. While walking home, a shimmering, sudden dimensional rift opened without warning, and Han Rowan was instantly sucked in, vanishing from his familiar world.

Can his knowledge of herbs and medicine, augmented by this mysterious gift, be the key to surviving and maybe even thriving among powerful cultivators and ancient people?

“Now go, chosen one. Save this world from its imminent end.” Francisco only wanted to write fantasy stories. He never expected to live inside one. Summoned to a collapsing medieval fantasy world, Francisco gains no magic, no divine blessings, and no combat skills. Instead, he is given a single ability: the power to understand every language. And a cruel condition—if he fails, both he and this new world will be erased from existence, forgotten by history itself. In Abaron, heroes are worshipped and light rules the kingdoms. But behind revolutions, orc invasions, and a hidden war over knowledge, Francisco discovers the truth: This world’s official history is a lie. Hunted by paladins, manipulated by orcs, and watched by unseen forces, Francisco realizes he cannot survive as a hero. So he becomes something else. A liar. A manipulator. A man who turns others into heroes… while rewriting the truth from the shadows. Because in this world, the greatest danger is not darkness... but who controls the story that will be remembered as truth.

THE PATH MENDER In a world where cultivation decides fate, a broken path means death—or worse. Shen Liang was born unable to cultivate. No Qi. No future. No place among the sects that rule the world. In Stone-Carp City, he survives by cleaning floors and keeping his head down, knowing Heaven has already passed judgment on him. Then a dying cultivator collapses in front of him. Shen Liang doesn’t draw Qi. He sees what’s broken. A hidden System awakens, granting him the forbidden ability to diagnose and realign shattered cultivation paths. Meridians can be reconnected. Dantians stabilized. Lives saved. But repair has a price. Damage cannot be erased—only **redistributed**. Every life Shen Liang saves leaves a fracture behind. And that fracture settles inside *him*. As sects hunt him, Heaven resists him, and broken cultivators begin to gather in his shadow, Shen Liang must decide how much of himself he is willing to lose to keep others standing. Because if he carries too many broken paths… He won’t just mend fate. He’ll become what it leaves behind. A cultivation fantasy about repair instead of power, cost instead of shortcuts, and a boy who proves that even Heaven’s laws can be patched—if someone is willing to pay the price.

The story of a jerk, insecure, unsociable, fuck-ass, and above all, down-in-the-mouth teenager, who one day dies and is reincarnated in someone the complete opposite of his pessimistic personality and physical appearance. To top it off, his new existence is that of a Dating Game protagonist. But, this simulation is not at all like a game of choices anymore, is it? It looks very realistic, and... it feels very plausible. “Huh? Well, how did that happen? What happened to the kid? And what the hell is up with that description in your novel?” Someone shouts fervently into my ears. Nevertheless, I play dumb. If you want to know, make the decision to take the time to read it, or not. I don't know! [Note: This is a translation and rewrite of my own novel on Wattpad. All rights to this story belong to ME!] [Other Note: Unfortunately, the cover is an AI image; however, I'm practicing my drawing skills to replace it one day, but in traditional since I'm broke as hell]

Li Chen lives an ordinary urban life, sharing a small apartment with his younger sister, Li Yueyin. To everyone else, she is the perfect girl—beautiful, polite, talented, and well-mannered. Only Li Chen knows the truth: at home, she is spoiled, selfish, and endlessly demanding. When Yueyin dreams of becoming a singer, Li Chen knows the entertainment industry is a cruel place where beauty alone is not enough—and where beautiful girls are often the first to be destroyed. Everything changes the night Li Chen awakens the Entertainment System. Main Mission: Turn your sister into the number one music superstar. The system grants him a beginner’s package: a debut song destined to go viral, a small amount of startup money, and subtle enhancements that make him look competent enough to survive as a manager. From that moment on, Li Chen is dragged into the dark underbelly of the industry—corrupt producers, predatory contracts, manufactured scandals, and ruthless competition. As Yueyin rises slowly through the ranks, Li Chen becomes her shield from the shadows. Along the way, he saves other struggling artists, each drawn to him for different reasons, forming bonds that blur the line between loyalty and desire. But buried in their past is a truth neither of them knows yet. A secret that will shatter the meaning of “family” and force Li Chen to confront feelings he was never supposed to have. In a world where fame is built on lies, only one rule matters: If he cannot protect her, the industry will consume her.
