In a world where fantasy and reality are intertwined, a lonesome writer tries to have a happy ending. This is a story about stories.

When every human on Earth receives a System and becomes a Player, the world turns into a brutal game of power, fame, and survival. Governments fall, heroes rise, and monsters are born. But Kai gets nothing. No level. No skills. No interface. Instead, he becomes the only one who can see everyone’s hidden stats, secrets, and future deaths. While the world fights for power, Kai quietly pulls the strings from the shadows, manipulating Players like pieces on a chessboard. In a world ruled by the System… he is the one thing it cannot control.

Some say he is the bad apple in a basket, that he's rotting everything around him with disgrace and corruption. Some say he is the biggest scum of the southern continent of Jambu, that he's colluding with the dark sects to cheat, steal, and commit all manner of atrocities. Some say he is the most wanted playboy. "Lock your daughters at home to keep Fang Xing away!" To all of those people, "That's right, I am that big rotten apple. Any problem with that?" --on indefinite hiatus with the current PtH team. Last chapter: 425 on Dec 31, 2018.

To survive, the unfortunate Gong Qiying, who became the lord of the Sein Dungeon, had to make his dungeon extremely "hellish": Doors that "cannot be opened from this side", treasure chests "triggering teleport traps", a three hundred and sixty-five mile journey from the starting point to the BOSS room with no place to rest, monster knights with great bows on either side of a narrow bridge, and sinister ambushes around corners. There's also unavoidable visits to poisonous pits and hidden paths... Additionally, well-known fighters like Isshin Ashina, the Furnace Knight, Rajang, and the Scourge Legion bring unexpected surprises! Various unique rewards such as the Flaming Sword, Murky Hand Scythe, Rapid Slash Longsword, Sacred Oath, and Flame Empowerment will make you too happy to contain your joy! Gong Qiying: The most important thing in my dungeon is to ensure adventurers have fun!

In times of war… What is a Battle Mecha engineer expected to do? Are they expected to do research and realize their imagination? How about a Battle Mecha pilot? Are they expected to enter battle with their mechas as they display their exquisite control through bizarre and bewildering techniques? What about a member of the special scouts? Are they expected to infiltrate deep into the enemy lines as they use stellar unarmed fighting skills to suppress the enemy with a single move? Or are they expected to make use of disguises and stealth techniques to take out the enemy? And what about a military officer? Are they expected to analyze the outcome of a battle? Or are they expected to create brilliant strategies to triumph over the enemy through a miraculous move? For someone who excels in human psychology, deceit, assassination, and disguise, what happens when that person is merged with all those professions? This is the story of a cowardly, wretched, and despicable fatty.

She was supposed to die in 2026. Instead, Captain Elena Moreau wakes up one thousand five hundred and eight years in the future, inside a hidden super-bunker known as ECHELON-01. The world above is gone. A failed medical experiment turned humanity into the infected. Cities collapsed. Supply lines vanished. Survivors now fight over scraps while most bunkers rot in isolation. Elena doesn’t awaken with magic, superpowers, or divine blessings. She awakens with authority. Recognized as the sole controller of ECHELON-01, Elena gains access to ARGUS, a cold military AI, and OMNIMARKET, a system that functions like an online store for the apocalypse. Weapons, medicine, infrastructure, upgrades, everything can be bought with points, salvage, or rare minerals, without moving through infected territory. A former U.S. Navy captain whose greatest strength was logistics, Elena understands one truth better than anyone: Wars aren’t won by strength. They’re won by supply. As survivor factions rise, bunkers turn on each other, and the infected swarm endlessly outside, Elena begins to build something far more dangerous than a safe haven. In a world ruled by scarcity, the one who controls the market controls survival. And the apocalypse is about to learn what an SSS-Tier Merchant can really do.

The world did not end in fire. It rotted. Civilization collapsed overnight. Cities fell, demons descended, the dead began walking - not mindlessly, but under a growing, forced will. Vincent, an ordinary man drowning in debt, clung to fragile hope. Then, hell arrived - he became something worse than a victim. A mysterious zombie virus descended, but Vincent did not turn. He awakened as a carrier. He became the first infected - a Progenitor. Every life claimed by the virus strengthens him...and stains his soul. He walks a razor's edge between savior and catastrophe. Survival is sin and requires everything. Venturing into ruins, facing demons, and making impossible choices - there is no good choice. No gain. No winning or losing. No choosing the good. Only choosing the lesser evil. Meanwhile, trust fractures. Humanity's last forces are not as united as they appear. Ghosts of the past hunt them. False grief hides calculated malice. While they battle demons, something far more terrifying has already infiltrated among them. Factions rise, hidden powers awaken. One question looms over the ruins of the world. Can a man who commands the dead still save the living - or will he become the very end he fears? Hopes are fading. The role of humanity seems insignificant. And the end? Certain. In the shadows, unknown forces are at bay. Bound by the universal rules at the moment, restrained. But time is ticking. The day draws near. What fate awaits humanity and the world once the chains break and the mysterious forces can act freely?

In addition to the brutality required to secure victories, Ming You must contend not only with basketball teams but also with managers seeking maximum profit, as well as investigators and detectives, since murders cannot simply be ignored as Ming You would prefer.

After the War of the Living, the world does not rebuild — it stabilizes. Peace is enforced through control, surveillance, and calculated violence. Chaos is gone, but so is meaning. Outside this system exist the Pikas — individuals stripped of fear, attachment, and ideology. They do not fight for justice or survival. They exist to end pain. Voi Dione is one of them. Labeled the evil left from all wars, Voi moves through abandoned lands and controlled cities, killing without hesitation and without belief. His actions expose the fragile logic behind enforced peace and force governments to confront a truth they refuse to accept: violence does not disappear — it evolves. As systems attempt to erase him and recreate his power, the line between order and destruction begins to collapse. VOID is a dark dystopian science fiction story about power, moral ambiguity, and what remains when meaning is no longer necessary for survival.

Lu Yang transmigrated into a ruthless cultivation world—and straight into the ranks of the most treacherous demonic sect of all: the First Saint Sect. His only cheat? A mysterious treasure known as the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes, granting him limited rebirths with all his accumulated power, treasures, and awakened talents carried over into each new life. His initial plan was simple: lay low, cultivate in secret, and never leave the mountain until he achieved true immortality. But in a sect where every disciple is a predator and every senior is a potential murderer, staying unnoticed is harder than it looks. Life 1: Brutally murdered by his charming senior sister. Life 2: Killed the sister, only to be hunted down by an even crueler senior brother. Life 3, 4, 5… Death after death, scheme after scheme. After a hundred lifetimes of surviving betrayal, mastering forbidden arts, and outmaneuvering demons and saints alike, Lu Yang looked around—and realized something terrifying. He was no longer hiding in the shadows. He had become the Shadow itself. The demonic titan they now called… the primordial Saint. Support the book on patreon.com/WangLing338

Ymir was a software engineer tasked with designing a game character. Personality, behavior, decision-making. He knew the character better than anyone. That’s why it was unsettling when he woke up as him. Same habits. Same thoughts. Same instincts. But instead of panicking, Ymir smiled. If this world was real, then so were its rules. This is a tale of a man just unstable enough to test every one of them. --- "There were many ways to start the rebellion." "You could've found more valid, more grounded reasons to fuel the motive for the war, but you just had go out of your way and piss him off!"
