The Beginning of The World After

Since childhood, Yumiel has been called a genius, yet she has never considered herself one. Becoming one of the world's greatest researchers? Perhaps. But research what? Yumiel sought truth, not theory. Then everything changed. In the late 2010s, as the world carried on as usual, a mysterious System appeared, claiming to have transformed 50% of humanity into their true nature. For some, it marked the beginning of a new age. For others, a catastrophe. For Yumiel, however, it was finally a chance to uncover the truth she had spent her life searching for. This is the world after. In a world where anyone can become more than they once were... The question is not what you have become. The question is what you are willing to become. And how much you are willing to sacrifice to get there. What to Expect • Intelligent MC • Non-Human MC • Science-driven progression • A constantly evolving world • 1 chapter every 2 days

After he came out and investigated for a while, he found out with hollow laughter was that he seemed to had been reborn and possessed a flood dragon.

Turning to look at his youngest disciple that he took in a few decades back, Zhou Zaizhi felt a sense of relief. 'As long as I have this disciple, my survival is certain, Nascent Soul is in sight!' He thought happily with such optimistic world view, how innocent. It was a beautiful woman who seems to be in her early twenties. Instead of delicate flowing silk robe, this woman instead wore fur coat with light armor. Her name was Wan Zhaolu. Zhou Zaizhi sighed, "Lu'Er, why are you wearing your armor all the time? Isn't it uncomfortable? You should try wearing that silken skirt little Xiao gave you the other day." Wan Zhaolu who was wiping her sword looked up at him with a trace of anger and annoyance hidden inside her eyes: "Master, you know Xiaomiao?" Zhou Zaizhi tilted his head slight, he replied: "Of course? She's your friend after all." Wan Zhaolu sighed and was about to turn back to cleaning her sword when she heard him continued: "Or you could try this dress little Jinghua gave me. Sighs, why did she even give me such a thing? It’s not as if I can wear it." Wan Zhaolu snapped her head back at him, "Who is this Jinghua? Is she a woman?" "Huh? She is Yisong's junior, she visited us a few months ago remeber? She even introduced me to her master and aunt maste-" Zhou Zaizhi's words were cut off before he could finish, a sharp blade had already appeared beside his neck at some point in time. "You know other women?!" "???"

The Red Flags of a Serial Killer

Eliot, 22, has only one dream: to be normal. Get his degree, keep his amazing girlfriend, and blend into the crowd. But fate-or maybe that weird priest who performed an exorcism on him when he was eight-has other plans. Because Eliot has a secret he doesn't even know himself: he's a magnet for catastrophes. Not just any catastrophes. Everywhere he goes, "perfect" people tend to suffer fatal accidents-absurd, unlikely, and almost comically timed. A slip on the stairs. A forgotten allergy. A thunderstorm that strikes a little too precisely... The worst part? Eliot is convinced he's cursed. He lives in constant fear of the police and crushed by guilt over his clumsiness. What he doesn't know yet is that Karma has a very particular sense of humor. His "victims" are never innocent. A serial killer disguised as the ideal son-in-law, a neighbor with an unspeakable past, a web celebrity with cult-like tactics... Eliot cleans up the city without meaning to-one fall at a time. Between panic attacks, deadly misunderstandings, and criminal law exams, discover the story of the most incompetent-and the most effective-vigilante in history. PS : Just so you know, English isn't my native language, but I'll do my best so you can enjoy my ideas as much as possible :) "I will be posting this story on Royal Road'

BLOOD AND SHADOWS

His name is Damien Voss Callahan. Lord of the Nightfall Court — the most feared vampire clan in the immortal world. Cold. Calculating. Ruthless beyond measure. He commands armies with a glance and ends centuries-old feuds with a whisper. He has lived five hundred years without once feeling something as fragile as need. But the ancient prophecy carved into the walls of his castle speaks of a fated bond — a mortal woman who will either complete him or destroy him. He wants neither. Her name is Nora Delacroix. On paper, she is unremarkable. A freelance archivist with a secondhand coat, ink-stained fingers, and a talent for disappearing into crowds. She takes temp jobs to pay her bills, keeps no close friends, and prefers the company of old books to people. She smiles at strangers and never lets them see past it. But Nora has a secret identity — one she has guarded since the age of seventeen. A ghost name. A blade in the dark. What happens when the Lord of the Nightfall Court crosses paths with the one mortal the shadow world has been hunting for years? What will Damien do when the universe names a quiet, glasses-wearing archivist as his fated bond? And what will Nora do when her new assignment — cataloguing the private library of one Damien Voss Callahan — puts her directly inside the most dangerous court in existence?

Aevum - A VRMMO LitRPG Story

The incredibly anticipated game, Aevum, has just released today. Arthur has been waiting for this game for a long time, as it is the first true virtual reality MMORPG to ever be released. The company has been quite secretive about the technology behind it, though... Arthur will get to experience life in another world, along with fifty thousand other players as part of the first wave into Aevum. He will fight, learn, improve, make friends, make enemies, and uncover strange happenings in this new world. What to expect: A VRMMO story without "die in real life" stakes (I know, not everyone's cup of tea). A main character who is driven to become stronger through pure swordsmanship, no magic. Fairly light hearted tones, with descriptions of violence but nothing grotesque. PG-13 is roughly equivalent I would say.

Gematrail — Echo Observer — Lævateinn

There is a layer to this story that cannot be reached through the surface plot alone. Clues have been deliberately woven throughout the story for the author and readers to uncover together. Everything needed to reach it should already exist in the knowledge and tools we possess, yet it has not fallen into anyone’s hands—not yet. As you read on, the story quietly waits for someone to notice. *** DEVOUR. The ordinary. The reality. The world. Despair, hope, good and evil—none are permitted. The prophecy is fulfilled here. Soon, the world will lose everything. And the man who once saved it has already lost himself. *** The boundary between illusion and reality had long since ceased to exist. In the year 20XX, without warning or precedent, Monsters emerged — consuming cities, devouring lives, swallowing the world’s last reserves of hope whole. And then, when humanity had nearly surrendered to despair, a Savior appeared. What awaited him was a death sentence — the charge: high treason against the state. Stripped of everything that had ever made him himself, he was cast into a cold and indifferent sea. Yet even there, sinking through the abyss, a light found him — the luminance of a Goddess, merging with what remained of his shattered soul. Darkness coiled around him like a living thing, its tendrils hungry and absolute. And still, against all reason, he was pulled back to the surface. He returned with nothing. No past. No name. No self. They gave him a new one — Ariwara Yūki — and with it, a second life stitched together from silence and borrowed time. Beside him walked Sano Amana, the girl who would become his anchor, and for a while, the two of them knew something that almost resembled ordinary days. Then the Monsters came back. They always come back. As his own memories continue to bleed away, Yūki pursues the vanishing silhouette of Amana — drawn ever deeper into a storm where government conspiracies and the ambitions of shadowed factions grind against each other like tectonic plates. He was once the Savior of this world. Now he has nothing. So what, exactly, can a man with nothing left — do? *** Comedy / Ecchi / Fantasy / Harem / Horror / Mature / Mystery / Romance / School Life / Sci-fi / Slice of Life / Supernatural / Tragedy From Japanese Full-length light novel This translation is provided by the author.

Time Lock

In a technologically advanced future where elite academies compete for prestige, eleven exceptional students receive a mysterious invitation to participate in The Chrysalis Initiative, a secretive tournament reputed to challenge the world’s most brilliant minds. Within an advanced simulation, the participants are assigned concealed roles as Hunters or Survivors. With no certainty of who stands on which side—and with roles capable of shifting between rounds—alliances begin to form even as doubt quietly takes root. As the tournament progresses, every interaction becomes a test of perception and every decision a calculated risk. Trust begins to erode, and the students find themselves questioning not only those around them, but their own judgment, instincts, and sense of self. In a system built upon deception and survival, the question is no longer who will win, but how far someone can be pushed before losing the very humanity they are trying to protect.
