The Protagonist’s Sister Is Actually The Strongest

Have you ever read a novel with such a terrible ending that you wished you could rewrite the story and give the characters you loved the happy ending they truly deserved? I was just another failed author, writing stories that nobody read and that never sold. Seeking to improve my craft, I picked up the most popular novel of the time, “Solo Player”, hoping to learn what made it so successful. Yet as I read, frustration grew inside me. The story’s development was promising, but its ending was truly awful. Then, quite bitterly, the moment I finished the book, I found myself transmigrated into its world. Did I become the protagonist? A villain? Or perhaps even an extra? No. It was far worse than I could have imagined. I had become the most worthless character in the entire novel, someone nobody ever cared about. A character readers saw only as fuel for the protagonist’s growth, his greatest burden, and the person every reader hated. “I’m the protagonist’s sister…” However, with my complete knowledge of the novel’s events, my worthlessness was about to change. I had decided not only to become the strongest but also to rewrite the story’s terrible ending. “I won’t let you go inside a dungeon. It’s too dangerous.” …As long as I could get this incredibly corny and overprotective brother out of my way. And for some reason, the Constellations would not stop bothering me. [The Cosmic Throne {Butterfly That Flies Across The Universe} seems interested in your tenacity!] [She has sponsored 1,000,000 Plot Points and the [Demon of Calamity Transformation Technique (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Monkey that Dances in Chaos} finds your chaotic nature amusing!] [He has thrown the [Umbral Chaos Stone Necklace (S Rank)] at you!] [Not enough? He launched the [Immortal Heaven Peach (SSS Rank)] right at your face!] There was clearly something wrong with the Constellations this time. [The Cosmic Throne {Jester Filled With Lies} is happy that you’re bringing despair to your victims!] [He has gifted you the [Jester’s Last Laugh (S Rank Privilege)] and the [Master of Manipulation (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Maiden that Watches Over Nature} seems happy you’re growing stronger.] [She has gracefully sponsored you with 2,000,000 Plot Points and fully healed all your wounds!] [She has also begun to wonder if you could plant some trees for her and gifted you the [Divine World Tree Seedling (SSS Rank)]!] [The Cosmic Throne {Warrior That Seeks Calamity} is satisfied with your battle performance but demands more!] [He has sponsored you with 500,000 Plot Points and the [Beheading Sword of Destruction (SSS Rank)]!] They simply could not stop showering me with gifts, as if I were some famous streamer performing for their entertainment. “I am grateful, but please… just leave me alone already…”

Origins of Blood

For thousands of years, the government lied, kept us hostage, and sold us unknowingly. Little did we know that these times would be the best for us all. The High-Bloods came through the firmament that veiled us in snow, and conquered everything. They shattered our false freedom, burned flesh from our bones, and feasted on us for sport. They enslaved us to be chained beyond Earth's soil—Hemorion, they call it their home. Now, we are forced into a society ruled by blood, where Kingdoms, slaves, and the deaths of beloved are as common as the light from Helios, one of their deities. Yet, whenever my eyelids close, I still see red—the light of us all stolen ... my brother’s and my own dying. But as my blood is red, my hope burns forever. I will kill them all. Note: this is a rewritten version of my already published first Volume, "Red Eclipse," of "Origins of Blood," and thus will be a revised edition with changes throughout the entire story, including prose, characters, worldbuilding, powersystem, and other elements.

Author's World [Transmigration, Magic, Author in His Own Novel]

I was just your average author, who struck gold during the pandemic with the debut of my novel "Fever War". But I made a mistake! "I made a bet." Dropped into a withering dystopia. A reimagined version of Earth after COVID-19, where some patients began gaining supernatural powers and magic. The future of humanity had changed forever. Wars were fought not solely with military technology, but supernatural soldiers fighting against each other. And then they came, aliens from the other world. And they were far better at using magic than all of humanity. War against aliens was not as simple as it seemed. Governments, secret cults, & ancient families all want one thing—Control. But I will control my own fate, I will ▮▮▮▮ this place and ▮▮▮▮. How? Because I wrote this story—I am this World's Author. --- What to expect: - No OP protagonist. As it takes time and training to become strong together with a very unique power system. This is the author falling into his novel trope, but with a twist. - No Harem, set in a futuristic 22nd century Earth filled with advanced technology and magic. - The beginning is slow as I am still developing my writing style. I am power-system enthusiast (Not LITRPG, but hard and logical magic system) kind of an author. So, please bear with me. --- This story is also available on RoyalRoad, ScribbleHub and Webnovel.

Wisps of Humanity

Nine billion souls. Every species on Earth. One final, desperate Hail Mary. For three decades, an AI has tried to engineer a peaceful coexistence between humanity and Earth after preventing a human-caused extinction level event. Put into stasis, humans have all been living in a simulation. Every single test failed, poisoned by human greed, class warfare, and systemic exploitation. Now, the AI is pulling the plug, locking each of the remaining population into an interspecies territorial death game. Clark didn't ask to be drafted into the swarm, but it was another Monday morning to him. He had just finished his internship, only to find himself trapped inside a supermega world in a cyberpunk insect hive where basic survival requires mindless work and resisting mind-control broadcasts. He realizes quickly that the only way out is up, but three queen bees with some very human tendencies stand in his way to get to the top. To keep himself from becoming a plaything or worse, Clark needs to use all three of his now-separated brains to survive. After finding Aria, a reserve queen forced to work as a regular worker, and her two dysfunctional sisters, together they must build a plan in secret, and collect more allies. They have three months before the first Territorial Expansion of their shard happens, and they need to take down the three queens before the time runs out!  Welcome to the hive. Try not to die on your first coffee break. {P.S. There is no sex described or anything like that. All scenes fade to black. Also, Art of cover was done with Midjourney because I am poor. If the book does good, I will pay for a cover.} In this book, you will find: 1. BEES! Bees and honey are a huge theme in this book, so there will be tons of fantasy varieties made from plants from earth, modified versions, and a few fantasy ones! 2. Animal accurate traits converted into human-sized interactions. This will lead to some very strange things!(Not all will be perfect, but I will do my best) 3. Swearing. There is a bit of cursing, but I try not to drown the book in it. 4. All kinds of humor in the book, but mostly cynical. 5. Harem. Yes there will be a harem, but it is very slowly and naturally built, but more like Release That Witch, where he only has one romantic relationship. 6. Grimdark. While there is a lot of humor, the book still has death and misery, but anything uncomfortable is glossed over. Humans are like the shades of colors in rainbows, and not all are bright. 7. System Menus. There are some, but I don’t use stat pages, and try to use them sparingly or gloss over things that aren’t important and just explain quickly in narration. My system is a bit different than most, but similar in the ways that count. 8. Pop-Culture YOU TO DEATH! Lol, I love pop-culture! So, unlike my book, Epic of Bees, you won’t find many puns, but there will be a ton of references to pop-culture, mythology, Canadian terms, and real world stuff! 9. Romance. There will be some romance, and emotional scene through character building of each of the character since the are all so dysfunctional.  10. Fighting vs Negotiating. There will be lots fighting, epic battles, and wars, but it is very slow at first. Most of the first book is building a team to get ready to challenge the queens, so expect a lot of interaction and world building at the start.

Fallout Odyssey

No one remembers how it started. By the time it mattered, it no longer did. The War had dragged on for years. Borders were redrawn in blood and cities were emptied, until the nations of the world, desperate for an ending, reached for the weapons they had sworn never to use. Nuclear fire lit the skies, engineered plagues drifted on the wind. For a moment it seemed to have worked, and the fighting stopped, but the poisoning didn't. Plants grew twisted, animals turned into things that had no names and people changed too, though never in the same way. Some were untouched, some went mad, many simply died. The lucky few who changed differently woke to find something new inside them, a power unlike anyone else’s. They called these gifts Manifests, no two ever alike. The world that rose from the ashes of that war would come to be known as The Fallout.

The Ending Reader

People say every person dies twice. The first time when their heart stops. The second time when they are forgotten. Vael learned that earlier than most. In the rain-soaked megacity of Nexarum, he lives with a curse that allows him to hear the final words people will ever speak. Most are meaningless. Some are horrifying. But one night, inside a Dead Scene where reality twists into nightmare, he hears a silver-haired girl whisper: “Thank you for finding me again.” The problem is she says it like they have already loved each other across countless ruined worlds. As the city collapses beneath endless rain, fractured timelines, and horrors born from abandoned stories, Vael is dragged into a war against the inevitable end of humanity itself. And at the center of it all stands a girl trying desperately not to fall in love with the boy destined to erase himself for her sake. Because in every timeline, the world ends. And in every ending... Vael dies for her.
