If hearts came with an instruction manual, the first page would say: “Extended use may cause permanent damage.” This book is the part nobody reads before falling in love. Manual of Disposable Hearts is a collection of urban one‑shots about everything you swore you’d already moved on from: ghosted “almost‑relationships”, cheating hidden behind “it’s not what it looks like”, families that hurt more than they protect, friends who vanish the moment things get hard, and jobs that charge your sanity as an unlisted benefit. Every chapter is short, sharp, and self‑contained. You can open the book on any page, on any random night, and still get that uncomfortable feeling that someone went through your archived chats and wrote them down. There are no perfect endings here. No neatly packaged life lessons. Just ordinary people trying to survive ugly choices, repeating patterns, truths that arrive too late, and the guilt of having put up with far more than they should have. If you’ve ever been ghosted, cheated on, used as a backup plan, if you’ve manipulated someone without noticing, or been an accomplice in your own heartbreak, there’s more than one chapter here that will feel like it was written specifically about you. Maybe many. Maybe all of them.

Can seven children survive on an alien planet alone? In the year 2517, Earth had become uninhabitable. Humanity turned to the stars, building colonies across distant systems. Seven children from different walks of life were sent on a routine school excursion. But when a gravity malfunction and a warp gate accident disrupted their journey to Alpha Centauri, their emergency escape shuttle broke free from the main ship. Cast adrift from the hyperlane, they crash-landed on an uncharted, uninhabited land on an alien planet. Food is scarce. No civilization in sight. No adults. No way to call for help. With only a disconnected AI assistant to guide them, the seven must learn to survive together—whether they like it or not. What to Expect: - No LitRPG elements, no magic nor stats. Just seven children, their offline ChatGPT, and bunches of alien flora and fauna. - Survival and character-driven narrative. - Soft sci-fi setting (space colony, minimal technobabble) (Name Children of the moon has already been taken, so i renamed it lunar children ont he spot.)

Norgalia did not fall to an external enemy. It fell because of its own guardians. After the disappearance of the Seven Pillars, the world fell silent. There were no heroes. There were no saviors. Only empty cities, broken towns, and people who learned to survive without law, without faith, and without a future. Pablo is 18 years old and doesn't know who he truly is. He was raised far from power, far from the center of the country, believing his life was normal... until the truth begins to shatter everything. To reach the heart of Norgalia, he will have to cross a devastated land: rusted trains that still run, states ruled by fear, people willing to kill for food, hidden experiments, lies buried under centuries of control. This is not a story of gods. It is not a story of perfect heroes. It is the story of what remains when power vanishes and the worst of humanity is laid bare. This is where it all began. And here begins the beginning of the end.

Echelon Institute is an elite academy where students are ranked not by grades, but by merit—a constantly changing score that determines status, privilege, and survival. Every action is measured. Every mistake has a cost. Those who fall to zero are erased from the system entirely. Kairo Vale enters the academy with an unremarkable score and an even more unremarkable reputation. Quiet, observant, and deliberately average, he avoids attention in a school where Echelon Institute is an elite academy where students are ranked not by grades, but by merit—a constantly changing score that determines status, privilege, and survival. Every action is measured. Every mistake has a cost. Those who fall to zero are erased from the system entirely. Kairo Vale enters the academy with an unremarkable score and an even more unremarkable reputation. Quiet, observant, and deliberately average, he avoids attention in a school where ambition is rewarded and weakness is punished. While others compete openly for higher rankings, Kairo studies the system itself—and the people trapped inside it. As rivalries intensify and alliances fracture, the academy reveals its true nature: a controlled environment designed to test obedience as much as intelligence. Charismatic leaders rise, desperate students fall, and the pressure to sacrifice morals for survival grows stronger each week. Behind the rankings and rules, something is wrong. The system is flawed—and Kairo may be the only one who understands how. In a place where power is invisible and control is silent, survival belongs not to the strongest, but to the most aware.

This is a story, one already written. Written both by time and blood. The story which made the magi themselves rethink what being a magus even was. A story of bloodshed. A story of madness. A story of the silence that comes after it. The story of the Second Holy Grail War. A/N: I own absolutely fucking nothing, if the artist wants me to take down the cover just hit me up, not literally of course, I'd prefer not to get hit. I hope all of you enjoy this story.

"In a world that recognizes only cold logic, strength is not a gift—it is a scar carved into the soul." Ten years ago, the Van Croft caravan was massacred. A five-year-old child named Shin watched from the shadows, choosing silence over death. He didn't just survive; he decided to become a monster. While others learned magic in ivory towers, Shin dragged granite stones across frozen wastes, wearing a leather bridle to suppress his screams of agony. He trained his body until it became a vessel for the "Black Lightning"—a forbidden power that annihilates existence itself. Now, at seventeen, the ghost of the past has returned. With a lightless black blade and a heart of ice, Shin will show the world that true power isn't born in the light, but forged in the dirt and blood of the void. "I don't believe in miracles. I only believe in the scars on my back." — Shin

Han Hyemi never planned to work for Kang Dae-Hyun. She was forced into the position—assigned as the personal assistant to the most demanding CEO in the company, a man known for his cold perfectionism, impossible standards, and zero tolerance for disobedience. To the world, Kang Dae-Hyun is flawless. Rich. Handsome. Untouchable. But Hyemi knows better than to trust appearances—because she has one of her own. By day, she is the CEO’s capable, polished PA. By night, she sheds the makeup, the heels, and the expectations, returning to her true self—a tired daughter, a loyal friend, and the unofficial leader of a group of women who know everyone’s secrets. Together with her four girlies, Hyemi lives life like a game: observing people, digging hidden truths, unraveling quiet scandals, and uncovering the stories others work hard to bury. From office rumors to personal betrayals, nothing stays hidden for long. As Hyemi balances her double life, she slowly discovers that her boss has secrets of his own—an abandoned childhood, a fear of thunder, and a heart far softer than his sharp words suggest. And while the contract never mentioned emotions, late nights, shared silences, and unexpected understanding begin to blur the line between duty and desire. In a world full of masks, gossip, and unspoken wounds, can love grow without breaking the rules?

Imagine closing your eyes for second like Subaru Natsuki and you found yourself in a world filled with Gods and Harem Protagonist with EX stats in Rizz. Also most of historical and myth characters are woman. Not only that you were thrown in a ritual to obtain a cup that maybe grant your wish but more likely will cause you more troubles that it it worth. Yeah that is what Antares had to deal with but fortunately he had cheat code that will let him deal with bullshit he have ahead of him. Directly from Lord of Mysteries he knows he either become a god or he will die trying to, there is no in between after all he is already insane from all that bullshit.

There are some things that everyone knows. Team Rocket is evil beyond belief, and their boss Giovanni is even worse. The man have ordered his team to make use of the fragment of Mew's DNA they have found in the dense jungle. With that Team Rocket get into possesion of a living weapon. Most powerful Pokemon in the entire world. Mewtwo. What no one knows is the fact that Mewtwo wasn't mindless. It learns. Grows. Adapts. And finally realizes there's some ability its creator won't let it have. Form changning. Thanks to that Mewtwo finally breaks out of the laboratory and manages to escape. Which would be a great news but something must have gone wrong. Giovanni spot its while changing forms. And most importantly the man's corpse weren't found. It means there's only one way Metwo could ensure its own safety - by getting rid off Giovanni once for all. So here comes the main problem. How to do that? It's hard (to say the least) to even track a man who ruled the most powerful organisation in the underworld. Not to mention he most likely has a contacts all around the 'upper' world. And that's why Mewtwo came up with ridiculous plan. To gather every legendary from five regions most close to Kanto and unite them against Giovanni. Is it stupid? Yeah, surely. But the alternative is returning to Team Rocket and letting Giovanni rule the whole world. Mewtwo can't allow this to happen! After all it wouldn't like to share. AN: Hi! Due to some life circumstances I quit writing for about 7 years. Used to like it a lot and tries to return. This fan-fiction is a 'returnee' to it, so do not have high expectations. Writing could be bad as hell (or the Distortion Worlds for geeks). updates would appear as I update (tldr randomly) and at some point I may just cancel this. Despite that (even if only for now) - have fun! Some chapters may contain TW, mostly brief desripction of violence (let's be honest the main character isn't the most paceful one). I'll make sure to point it at the beggining of every chapters where it appears. Also try to not write much of them - after all this novel is for general audience. EDIT: Considering many TW chapters I decide to change it to parental guidance suggested. Yet those tw mostly appear in prologue (chapters 1-6) and can be skipped.

Across countless Universes, through endless Multiverses, past the towering Omniverse and into the silent Void Expanse, there exists a place no being has ever reached. A place older than creation itself. A place even gods refuse to speak of. The True Outside. And sitting at its deepest edge is a throne — a throne no one has ever touched… because no one has ever been worthy. Until he arrived. He has no origin. No destiny. No chains. His name is Void — and he does not rise through realms… realms rise beneath him. A System awakens within him, but it cannot guide him. Laws try to bind him, but they cannot define him. He does not chase power — power reshapes itself to survive his presence. Elders kneel. Gods shatter. Omniversal beings fall silent. Void walks with the arrogance of someone who already knows the truth: The throne beyond the veil was never lost. It was waiting for him. This is a dark fantasy with a ruthless protagonist. Read at your discretion. Disclaimer: The early chapters (Chapters 1–11) are written mainly for fun and setup. The true depth of the story, its darker themes, and the main plot begin unfolding from Chapter 12 onward. Please read patiently.

Bitz inexplicably crossed over into the world of One Piece and became a member of the battle-obsessed Saiyan race. With a Bloodline Propagation System attached to him, as long as he performed actions that benefited the spread of his bloodline, he would receive rewards. Thus, the One Piece World gained a man who called himself a “Saiyan,” whose daily life consisted of either sowing seeds, or being on the way to sow seeds. Robin: “N-No, don’t use the tail…” Vivi: “Mmm~ Th-This is all for Alabasta…” Straw Hat crew: “Damn it, give Nami back!” Hancock: “Ahh, Lord Bitz, all of Amazon Lily belongs to you.” Five Elders: “Where did this monster come from? Even the Celestial Dragons aren’t as wicked as him!”
