Before the age of 18, Ji Anli could’ve been considered a winner in life. He was born into an interstellar aristocracy. His parents’ families were in power, and his fiancé, whom he had chosen since childhood, loved him.... more>>

After turning eighteen, Ji Anli’s destiny took a sudden turn. His parents disappeared, his uncle seized power, and his genetic reports showed abnormalities, indicating that he would be unable to conceive as an Omega.

The attitude of his fiancé’s family changed drastically. After he unilaterally broke off the engagement, the ex-fiancé immediately got engaged to his cousin.

Who would have thought that when the second genetic report came out, Ji Anli would evolve from a useless beauty with an exhausted mental power into a rare 3S-level healer.

The top brass of the empire attached great importance to his matters and were very cautious. They wanted to select an Alpha who was the most compatible and least likely to be a drag for the new healer.

At first, Ji Anli refused the political marriage.

The top brass of the empire tried their best to maintain a good relationship, claiming that he could choose a pleasing alpha from among many high-quality A-level alphas in one blind date.

Ji Anli planned to attend once as a formality and decline.

On the day of the blind date, he accidentally witnessed a secret fight, and was shamefully attracted by the second form of a man in the alley who was unable to walk after his transformation. The second form was furry and looked very nice to the touch.

Ji Anli reluctantly went to the blind date party, and among the many Alphas, he spotted the one with the strongest aura, the most familiar face, with the fluffiest figure: It’s him!

Everyone looked over, and when they saw clearly that he was pointing at the legendary ceiling of combat power/never defeated/widowed till now/the highest-ranking admiral in the galaxy, they gasped: ???

So, how did you choose only this candidate from among a large group of young and high-quality Alphas?

Liang Huan is a unique school tyrant Omega, whose fists can scare off a group of Alphas. He has countless followers. He proudly declared that he didn't need an Alpha and that he would rely on inhibitors during his heat in the future. However, after his secondary gender traits fully developed, disaster struck.... more>>

The inhibitors were ineffective for him, and the doctor issued a death notice: if he didn't find an Alpha to mark him, he would die.

Liang Huan had no choice but to humbly flirt with the only Alpha he somewhat admired— the top student Xing Yeze. He approached Xing Yeze, racking his brains to highlight his advantages as an Omega:

"My waist strength is much stronger than other Omegas. It's not just Alphas; Omega's waist strength is important too!"

"My stamina is also much better than other Omegas. I guarantee I'll satisfy you! You know what I mean, buddy!"

"..." Xing Yeze, maintaining his cool and abstinent demeanor, expressed that Liang Huan wasn't as attractive as his exercise books.

Later, Liang Huan had a follow-up examination and found that his physiology had returned to normal. He immediately announced with great fanfare, "I can use inhibitors now! Hello, top student! Goodbye, top student!"

As a result, Xing Yeze wouldn't have it. He put down his textbooks, carried Liang Huan up, and said, "I don't understand, so please explain through practical demonstration why Omega's waist strength is important and what it means to guarantee my satisfaction!"

The entire school: "Awesome!"

In the end, the school bully shed tears of regret after being bitten...

Cen Xun is a folklore professor at H University—beautiful, young, and captivating countless students in every class. ... more>>

His life follows a monotonous routine, calm and uneventful, until an unexpected fall from a building. After resurrecting, Cen Xun suddenly discovers the secrets of this world.

For example, his life is actually repeating in a daily cycle: his husband prepares breakfast on time, drops him off at the university precisely on schedule, and in the evening, their time spent in intimacy is accurate to the second.

For example, he can hear the thoughts of those around him and learns that a group of individuals calling themselves “players” has infiltrated his students.

“Awooo! Our professor is just too stunning—third time checking in! Gotta take a selfie!”

“I can’t bear to part with our gorgeous professor. It’s rare for the dog game to have such a beautiful model, but sadly, H University is about to become a B-rank Eerie Domain. The professor isn’t a main character, so he’ll probably be cannon fodder in the end, wuwuwu.”

Cen Xun sneered. Cannon Fodder? Impossible.

At last, his dull life encounters a ripple. Amused by his own dark sense of humor, Cen Xun decides—why not stir the waters even more?

Holographic Horror Game [Nightmare World] Forum

Player 1: “Can the officials explain the B-rank Eerie Domain ‘Lost Campus’? I teamed up with a top-100 ranked expert to run it three times, and we got completely wiped out every time. How is this fair?”

Player 2: “Are you living under a rock? This instance was upgraded to an S-rank instance ages ago. Apparently, the boss absorbed other Eerie Domains and even allied with several Domain Lords. The monsters from different instances now visit each other like neighbors—winning is a joke.”

Player 3: “I’ve lost all hope. The Dean of the Media College is the S+ level ‘Thousand-Eyed Reporter’ from the TV Station instance, the Dean of Computer Science is an infamous entity with game-wide bounty, and even the cafeteria worker at the food window is an S-level Domain Lord! So, tell me, what rank is the Chancellor?”

Player 4: “My beloved Professor Cen is kind, gentle, and weak—surrounded by all these powerhouses, he’s definitely going to be bullied, wuwuwu.”

In 《Nightmare World》, all players share one common White Moonlight.

Before transformation, he was a cold-faced yet warm-hearted folklore professor who willingly sacrificed himself to save students from the corrupted Chancellor—earning the tears of countless players.

After transformation, he became a mysterious and eerie existence, yet still showed goodwill toward players. To protect his students, he dared to challenge Domain Lords alone, taking on high-level monsters in extreme battles.

He was the one pure and noble soul among demons and ghosts.

Players, deeply moved by their professor’s kindness, swore to repay him—rushing to the front lines, willing to spill their blood in his name.

As the game progressed, the system announced the final mission: all players were about to face the ultimate boss—"Gui Sun" level Eldritch God.

On the day of the final battle, players stood ready for war, eyes locked on the highest point, where top-tier nightmare entities gathered.

Then, a familiar figure appeared with elegance.

“My dear students, and my… husband. I hope you have been well.”

Every player’s pupils shook in horror.

Wait, my gentle and delicate White Moonlight Professor is actually the Final Boss?!

One night, after discovering the truth about this world, Cen Xun hurried home, intending to take his husband and escape.

But as he packed their clothes, he suddenly heard his husband’s thoughtful inner voice:

“His behavior has suddenly changed. Could there be a bug in the program? Should I have the team work overtime to fix it?”

…

Cen Xun slowly stopped packing, lifted his head, and gave his husband a deadly smile.

“He smiles so beautifully… I want to keep him trapped in this game forever.”

His seemingly upright and abstinent husband was secretly thinking such things.

Yoochan, who impulsively visits a tattoo shop, meets Jungeol, a skilled but reserved tattoo artist, by chance. Yoochan has money, time, and passion, but for some reason, it's very difficult for him to get a tattoo from the demanding Jungeol.... more>>

"I'll go now. I'll send you DMs sometimes, so don't ignore them and reply well. And please like my posts."

"I'll think about it."

Even though the tattoo shop has a policy against tattooing minors, Yoochan tries to persuade Jungeol with his usual charm.

"Don't think about it, just do it. And you have to give me a tattoo later. I'll visit again during vacation if I have time."

"Come back in two years, it's annoying."

"I'll send you DMs, Jungeol!"

Jungeol firmly refuses, saying he'll do it in two years.

I went to the shop, but you weren't there. They said you went to the US? Have a great time. I'll visit again later haha

But as Yoochan persistently pursues, Jungeol's closed heart starts to open little by little...

"Come here for a second."

Jungeol stood still without moving. With a mix of slight dissatisfaction and longing in his eyes, Yoochan looked puzzled and slowly walked towards Jungeol, staggering.

Seeing Jungeol standing crookedly by the bed, Yoochan let out a long sigh, feeling his stomach churn from the alcohol, and then happily grabbed Jungeol's cheek and said,

"Listen, I have something to tell you."

Jungeol silently stared at Yoochan with narrowed eyes. Yoochan wrapped his heavy arm around Jungeol's waist and said,

"Why do you say I'm reckless?"

Yoochan added, looking slightly hurt,

"Even if I seems reckless, can't you trust me and meet me?"

Not noticing Jungeol's clenched teeth, Yoochan closed his eyes and playfully muttered,

"...I really like you..." <<less

However, fully aware that his feelings could never come to fruition, he devoted himself to theology, keeping his heart in check and rapidly climbing the ranks toward his formal ordination as a priest.

One night, a banquet is held to welcome Governor Hyun Tae-oh back to the capital after seven years in the conflict-ridden borderlands. Hyun-jin, arriving to retrieve his drunken younger brother, finds himself entangled in an unexpected mishap that leaves his clothes ruined.

In front of Seoyoon, whose smooth face was slightly scrunched in humiliation from the sudden rush of shame, Kijung opened his mouth as if he couldn’t care less about his thoughts.

“I have something I’d like to suggest to you today, Seoyoon.”

“……”

“Have you ever considered letting someone else handle that whip?”

Silence followed.

Seoyoon couldn’t immediately respond.

Before deciding whether he liked or disliked the suggestion, he couldn’t even understand what he meant by it.

As if had already anticipated Seoyoon’s blank reaction, Kijung continued.

“You said there are times when you want to feel pain, right?”

Seoyoon nodded.

There was still a contradiction in saying he wanted to feel pain, but since he couldn’t explain his own habit clearly, it wasn’t something he could argue against.

What caught his attention was the man's next words.

But I turned out to be way more capable than I expected?

“Thank you so much! Gang, Gang-hyeon-nim?”

“Call me hyung.”

At first, I just felt sorry for the supporting kid who was treated like a delinquent, so half out of pity and half with the intention of making him my ally, I helped draw out his abilities.

Maybe that was the beginning.

“Gyeon Gang-hyeon, you should become the leader after me.”

I saw areas for improvement in the other successors too and tried to help them, only to eventually be told to lead the hunters, surpassing even the original protagonist.

The villagers all laughed at Ye Xi. Even the young men who were once uglier than him mocked him, whispering behind his back that he would never be able to marry.

After a while, a stranger came to Shanxiu Village. This man was tall and strong, with dark skin. He only carried a tattered bundle, bought a dilapidated thatched hut at the edge of the mountain, and settled down there.

The villagers didn’t dare approach him, fearing he was engaged in shady business.

Ye Xi had encountered him at the foot of the mountain and by the river. He knew that the man not only farmed well but also hunted and fished, and didn’t engage in gambling, drinking, or other vices.

He felt that this man was a truly good and dependable man.

One day, with half his face scarred from the burn, he pushed open the man’s door and, standing at the entrance, blushed and asked, “Will you marry me?”

The man finished the rice in his bowl, lifted his eyes to gaze at him, looked intently for a long moment, and said, "Marry."

After getting married, there were hot dishes and warm porridge on the stove at home, the torn clothes were mended as if they were new, a group of chickens and ducks were raised in the yard, there were snow-white rabbits in the cage, and the fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden grew lushly.

Lin Jiangshan looked at his new husband and sighed in his heart: "This is the life of a human being."

Staring at the latest mu*der scene he wrote, Lu Hui let out a long sigh:

“What can I possibly do to save you?”

That very night, Lu Hui transmigrated into his own infinite flow novel.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his vengeful, easily blackened, cold-blooded, mu*der-is-nothing-to-him protagonist tied to a bed.

And he himself was sitting at the foot of that bed.

Lu Hui met his cold, mu*derous gaze:

“…..”

Truly a hell-level difficulty right from the start.

Because he knew his own character all too well, Lu Hui was very aware of what he needed to do to survive in the hands of this lunatic.

He used just enough mystery to preserve his life—but that very mystery also caught Ming Zhaolin’s interest. From that point on, every time they met again, unless Lu Hui came up with something new and surprising, Ming Zhaolin would try to kill him.

Everyone in this world knew that Lu Hui was Ming Zhaolin’s prey—prey that no one else was allowed to touch.

Once, a crazed follower of Ming Zhaolin took it upon himself to try to kill Lu Hui. As punishment, Ming Zhaolin crushed the man’s hand just because it had accidentally brushed against a strand of Lu Hui’s hair. His voice was laced with amusement, but carried unmistakable danger:

“You knew he was my prey, and you still dared to touch him?”
