"Well… I'm fucked." … Imagine this: you escape your most mind-numbing college lecture… Professor Henderson droning on about the Agricultural Revolution of 14th Century Flanders, just to hide in a bathroom stall and pull your guaranteed legendary gacha in your favorite game. You've been saving for months. This is it. This is your moment. ...And you pull the worst fodder character in the entire game. Then, as if the universe hadn't humiliated you enough, you hear gunshots. That's how Klaus died… clutching his phone, staring at a trash-tier pull, bleeding out on grimy bathroom tiles while some psycho unloads a clip outside. Pathetic? Absolutely. But hey, at least it couldn't get worse. Except it did. Because now he's woken up inside [Artemis Online]... the very game that betrayed him moments before his death and not as the overpowered Protagonist with his bullshit angel bloodline and auto-heal cheat code and not even as one of the gorgeous gacha waifus everyone whales for or an extra with a decent backing. No. He's reincarnated as that exact same fodder character he pulled. The tutorial NPC. The guy with Metal Magic… the most common, bottom-tier trash magic in existence. The guy whose entire life savings (one measly gold coin) was already spent registering for the Divine Wizard Academy's Entrance Exams in two months. Oh, and did he mention the Protagonist is basically a nepo-baby demigod? Born with the King's bloodline, raised by an literal angel mother who peaced out to heaven, and adopted by the most prestigious noble clan in the kingdom because some rich lady thought his rags looked cute. The guy trips over plot armor everywhere he goes. Meanwhile, Klaus can't even afford a decent meal. How the hell is a no-name mob character with garbage-tier magic supposed to survive an entrance exam designed to kill 90% of applicants? How is he supposed to avoid getting trampled by protagonists, villains, and every overpowered side character in between? Just as despair sets in, a familiar notification appears: 「Ultimate Gacha System has been initialized」 「Roll the gacha wheel once daily for a chance at legendary rewards!」 「Good luck, player. You'll need it.」

In a world of spotlights and secrets, one spilled glass of wine changes everything. Leo, a quiet crew member scraping by to support his family, never imagined crossing paths with Alexander Hale—the untouchable movie star whose face graces every screen. What starts as a clumsy accident at a gala becomes fate when Leo joins the set crew for a month-long film shoot in a remote coastal town. Alex remembers the nervous waiter who stained his suit... but Leo has no idea the man he's quietly admiring is the same celebrity. Stolen glances under studio lights, late-night talks on empty beaches, gentle acts of care amid chaos—they fall slowly, deeply, against every rule. But when the real world crashes in—paparazzi flashes, career-threatening rumors, a manager's ruthless interference, and a family crisis that forces impossible choices—Leo walks away to protect the man he loves. Heartbroken and alone, Alex fights to uncover the truth. Leo fights to rebuild his life. Until one desperate reunion proves some loves are worth every risk. A tender slow-burn romance between a shining star and the shadow who grounds him. Will they hide forever... or step into the light together? #BL #SlowBurn #CelebrityxOrdinary #AngstWithHappyEnding #FatedLovers #ComingOfAge #FamilyDrama #HE

[Pseudo-D&D world, slow-paced adventure, magic and martial arts] In a quiet, peaceful monster settlement where goblins had lived for generations, they thrived happily, minding their own business and living in harmony. That is, until one day an adventurer arrived, pushing a wooden wheel. He gripped the Dawn Blade in one hand, with magical beast skulls dangling from his belt. Orum smiled and announced to the goblins: "Any goblin taller than this wheel has to die." The goblins: "Gugu gaga! (Haha, what an idiot. No goblin is taller than a wheel!)" Orum: "If there are no objections, let's begin." With that, Orum gave the wheel a gentle push, laying it flat on the ground. The goblins: "%…&¥%¥!!!" …

Reborn into a parallel world similar to Earth, he starts a boom with the novel “How a Bad Guy Is Made”. The Condor Trilogy, which he wrote, propelled old-school wuxia directly to the pinnacle of the new-school wuxia movement.

A collection of old journals for a child that was never born, and still has yet to be.

This was the story of the Wannabe Webnovelist Team (aka WW) who slaved over writing for five years and did not receive a single reader, only to discover that the person responsible for the final edit and publishing in the Wannabe Webnovelist writing team never actually published anything. He had only uploaded everything to the drafts. Sit back and relax (or not) as you try to figure out which character has written which paragraph or chapter. Not to mention working out how many people are actually in this team - this may fluctuate. The WW team's rules in this novel are that once a chapter has been published, no one in the team can edit it. (NB: all the characters in this work are fictional and while any resemblance to real life people are not entirely coincidental - no insults are meant. This is a completely tongue in cheek, rubbish piece of nothing. Yes, you read that right. If you find this as nonsensical as the author(s), then 'high five!' You are on the right page.) Also, has this story really been discontinued? Wait and see... because if it really has been discontinued, we hope the readers enjoy being left hanging on the cliff edge - or just hanging, cos there's nothing wrong with just hanging about. Addit Oct 2023: WW is on a long break. Who knows if they'll ever get back together or come back (in fact, I doubt they will ever return - I think they've given up). Therefore, you will receive random short stories instead. This is now truly discontinuous nonsense. Enjoy. If you don't like one story, you can now switch to a different one via the contents page. Yay.

[WARNING:R-18|Explicit content, graphic violence, and adult themes] Mark had a miserable life. He died in the most pathetic way possible. And when he reincarnated, instead of becoming the overpowered level 100 character with broken stats, legendary gear, and a ridiculous number of spells… He woke up at Necromancer level 1 with a single spell that can’t even properly revive the dead. Great. But, somehow, luck was on his side. The very first thing he did was stumble across the corpse of an SSS-Rank Holy Knight inside a dungeon, and out of pure desperation, he used his one half-functional spell on her. That’s when things took a turn. He unlocked a new ability that lets him tamper with people’s consciousness… so yeah, he straight-up brainwashed her. Now he’s got the strongest warrior on the continent following him around like he’s the center of her universe. Meanwhile, Mark’s stuck in the middle of it all, wondering when exactly his life turned into this mess.

Ryoma Takeda was once a rising star in the ring, an Interhigh champion, a golden boy with fists of promise. But one bitter loss on his pro debut shattered his confidence. A freak accident soon after stole his leg. His career vanished. His fiancée left him. And all he had left were reruns of that one damn fight… and a hundred different regrets. Then, just as he hits rock bottom, fate does the unthinkable. He wakes up ten years in the past, on the very night of his first professional match. But this time, something’s different. [System Initialized: Vision Grid Active] “Your eyes see the truth beneath motion. Use it well.” Armed with the Vision Grid System, a combat-assist module that turns his visual perception into tactical mastery, Ryoma now has a second chance. To fix his mistakes.

It was a lie. And he knew Leith must have realized it. But the man did not respond to the lie, did not judge, did not ask any further questions. He just remained silent... and slowly bit his own index finger until a drop of blood appeared. Then, with a movement that was almost inaudible, he reached out his hand toward Liyn. "Drink... Liyn.” Liyn's heart felt like it was being pulled out of her chest. Her breath caught. She stared at Leith's finger in confusion, fear, and… trembling. But something inside her stirred. Slowly, she grasped Leith's hand, her hands so small in that gentle embrace, then hesitantly touched that finger to her lips. She sucked on the tip of the finger, tasting the salty, warm blood. As warm as someone who cares. Yurei Yurelin dreamed of becoming a scientist and exploring the skies above, not the magical battlefield. She hid her Veyra level as a child, managed to get into a technology school, and was almost achieving her dream… until everything fell apart. Betrayed by the retest results, Yurei was forced to enter Syntara Academy, an elite academy for Veyra users. There, everyone had extraordinary talent—except her. But one thing worse than being the ordinary girl among geniuses… is the fact that her new teacher is a legendary former warrior, a man whose face can make anyone submit—including Yurei's heart. As old secrets begin to surface and the hidden power within her slowly awakens, Yurei realizes: she was never meant to be a Scientist… but something greater.

Philantria. The world where the strongest rule over it. Non-stop battles everywhere.  Kingdoms taking over kingdoms. Bloodbath after bloodbath. War has defined this world. And the only man renowned as the Hero of Philantria, Crescentine Fleur, has been in these wars since he was 12. Now at 20. Eight years of fighting on the frontlines, where the people called him a Hero, Kings called him a weapon, and the soldiers called him a legend. It was tiring. Crescentine had lost the reason to be the Hero the people needed, if all he was ever required to do was kill. Then one day, he simply vanished. Not because he wanted to... But the rulers' betrayal has opened the doors for his disappearance. His armor and sword were left behind at the last battle between the 4 kingdoms and the empire. His hero insignia was on the ground, abandoned. As they rejoice the death of the so-called hero. Leaving them blind of the truth. Where did the hero go after? Why did he leave? And perhaps because of his absence, the kingdoms and the empire were pushed into a treaty, to stop the very battles that made their hero a weapon. Where did Crescentine Fleur go? ....Farming.  On the furthest edge of the Kingdom of Amlada. A small village the government had long neglected. Somewhere the rulers would never think to search. Crescentine Fleur was gone. And Leigh the farmer? Planting his first crops. While also using his hidden memories of a past life nobody knew... That's something no one would ever believe.

Wada Ryuji, Ikezoe Kenichi, and Takatoshi Imanami one day found themselves in the world of Uma Musume in younger bodies after being attacked by a weird white pony. After a while, Imanami gathered the others to discuss their findings over the past month. Wada Ryuji: "I'm not sure if you guys will believe this, but I found the Uma Musume version of T.M. Opera O at Tracen Academy." "But she was so different from what I expected that even I didn't recognize her at first! I thought that if he had turned sentient, he wouldn't have had much of a personality, let alone this!" Ikezoe Kenichi: "Don't even mention it. In fact, you should be happy. I met the Uma Musume version of Orfevre, and the president even asked me to be her trainer! My life is going to be a living hell again...
