Working overnight to finalise a project’s negotiations, Gu Qiming, who founded the company with several brothers after leaving the army, then had to accompany the client up the mountain, only to be ambushed by former enemies and fall off a cliff.... more>>

Upon waking up, he found that he arrived in another world and was picked up by a “ger”.

The little ger is only 19 years old, but he has been living alone for several years. Not only did he have to take care of family affairs, but he also had to deal with troublesome relatives.

Can this be tolerated?

In order to live better, Gu Qiming went up the mountain to hunt, went down the river to fish, learned to work as a carpenter, helped the little ger deal with trouble, and found his true love.

When Jiang Ran woke up, she realized that she had transmigrated into a novel.... more>>

It was bad enough to have transmigrated into a novel, but why must it be an apocalypse novel? Why have I become a female supporting character who is not even the main female supporting character but merely cannon fodder? Am I not worthy of experiencing the wonderful life of a Mary Sue?

…

On the first day Jiang Ran met Si Xu, she was already abandoned by her team. To avoid the zombies, she climbed into his room from the balcony and threatened, “Don’t make any sounds, or I will kill you!”

After the crisis was resolved, she realized something in hindsight.

Was the seemingly harmless man she threatened just now the villain boss in this novel? Wasn’t he the ruthless, evil, and terrifying being who disregarded human lives in the eyes of the original heroine?

Jiang Ran resigned herself to her fate: Why don’t I… try to conquer him? What if I succeed?

Why did the Duke Staten family propose to me?’... more>>

The Staten family was one of the longest-established family of duke families in the empire. Blue blood that has a vast manor and strong wealth, and is closely entangled with the royal Family.

It was a family that the Lancaster Baron family, whose name was barely a noble rattle, could not even dream of.

However, Nadia did not want such undeserved luck for a moment.

Duke Staten never appeared in social circles, but ugly rumors abound around him. The most famous rumor is that he is a beast with neither blood nor tears.

Like being over 2 meters tall, like a gorilla with a bushy hair, like eating a child, or enjoying a slaughter… … .

When I opened my eyes, a four-year-old Ophelia was shaking to wake me up.

“Ha, ha, Hannah, I like this flower the, the best… that’s why… I will give you this flower!”

Mu Mingtang is the substitute of the male lead’s first love. After she lost her family, she was adopted by the Jiang family and eventually became engaged to the male lead, the Prince of Jin.

Understanding very well that she was only a substitute, she removed her claws and fangs and turned herself into an imitation of the Prince of Jin’s first love. She couldn’t speak or laugh as she wished, she was prepared to live in the shadow of another woman for her entire life… until one day, the real Miss Jiang returned.

The real Miss Jiang was reborn. When she learned that she was the male lead’s first love, she immediately returned to fight for her engagement and identity.

In order to please his first love, the Prince of Jin gave the substitute to the Prince of Qiyang, who had become a dying madman. She was just a low-quality fake, anyway. If she dared to anger his first love, he would turn her into a childless and powerless widow for the rest of her life.

Mu Mingtang, the target of their mockery, finally snapped: Okay, since you gave me to another man, I’ll make you bow and call me sister-in-law!

However, none of them expected the Prince of Qiyang, the God of War, to actually wake up!

She enticed the successor to the Duke of Lisianthus.... more>>

He sneakily grabbed my hand.

I sighed and twisted my hand out of his grip. “We can’t do this as friends.”

“Are you ashamed of holding my hand even once, Leen?”

No matter how much I think about what Carsion said, with his face showing ‘I barely held one hand’, it doesn’t seem that way.

“I can do more with you, Leen.”

Those words seemed to ring in my head, but the blue pupils were headed in a different direction – you can’t even look me in the eye. I mean, it’s not convincing to say those kind of words with such a shy face, you punk.

* * * * *

The Duchess took something out from the purse in her arms.

“Do you need money? Then take this money and break up with Carsion; take it without hard feelings.”

I stared silently into the thick pockets that the Duchess gave. Then I tapped my chin and gave her a serious look. “We’re not dating, we’re friends. Do you want me to cut off my friendship with Carsion from today?”

Will the Duchess get up from her seat, trembling and slap my face? Or are you going to spray water on me?

Now that he had attained glory and honor, he was dissatisfied with his commoner wife. He craved power and wealth; in his quest to become prince consort, he regarded her as an obstacle to marrying the princess and was willing to mu*der both his wife and children.

It was a blessing to be born as an extra here.

“Princess~ Wake up~♡”

“Ah, my pretty daughter♡♡.”

Besides, living a simple life in a mountain village with a nice and sweet dad (James Brown, 27, Extra) is the best!

“Look! The person who just appeared is my father! A symbol of commoner men, brown hair and brown eyes!”

“He’s just the Passing Imperial Citizen 1 even if you look at it, and he’s a 27-year-old unmarried father living in a mountain village with a young daughter and working hard to make a living.”

The Knight Commander only looked at me indifferently.

“—Excuse me, sir? Over there? Whoa!”

At that moment, The Knight Commander was startled and drew his sword. I looked back instinctively.

‘…Daddy?’

Blue energy was rising above my daddy’s wooden poker. I rubbed my eyes and watched it again.

‘W, what’s that?’

At the next moment. Daddy’s brown hair and brown eyes, which were symbols of Extra 1— gradually changed.

“Oh my.”

“Every day, a recurring hellish dream. Junseong is stuck in a world that feels like an endless loop, much like a roguelike game. It’s a cursed world where he struggles every day. Two months have passed since he set foot in the zombie apocalypse world in his dreams. “Ha….” As soon as he woke up, his gaze was instinctively drawn to the internet broadcast that he habitually left on. -A major riot is occurring in some regions due to the current situation… Then, beep!

[10:44 AM] It was the exact time he had always woken up in his dream. Everything was just like his usual dreams. However, a man he had never seen in his dreams before, Do-hanseo, appeared right in front of Junseong. “I’ve been wanting to ask you something.”

“What?” As Junseong was about to reply, he felt a change in Hanseo’s gaze. The smile that had been on his lips disappeared. Consequently, Junseong felt a strong, cold, and sharp pressure, as if a dagger was piercing his throat. “Why do you look at me like that?” Feeling the strange pressure, Junseong, who had tightly sealed his lips for a moment, asked instead. “How am I… looking at you?”

“….” Instead of an immediate answer, Hanseo just gazed silently. Then, he showed the ‘fake smile’ he had been holding onto a little while ago. His clothes were too clean, his body had no wounds, and the smell of blood was so strong in comparison. When he took off his clothes, he could be sure. The scent of blood from the man named Do-hanseo was not from his ‘clothes’ but emanated from him.“ <<less

I sacrificed my own life to save my husband, who was my first love.

Why is it that when I opened my eyes again, I found myself in someone else’s body?
Even worse, I transmigrated into a novel?

And why is my ex-husband here, too?

He became the S-Class Esper who was obsessed with the female lead—enough that he would eventually commit treason against the Crown Prince, who was the true male lead.
More than anything else though, why did I suddenly manifest the abilities of a Guide?

…Ah, whatever. I died anyway, so that should be the same as a divorce, I guess.

* * *

“My wife, did you think that I wouldn’t recognize your guiding?”

Why do you remember me.
Why are you looking at me like that, not the female lead? With those eyes so full of obsession and madness.
You weren’t originally this kind of man.

He approached me at a languid pace, watching closely as I was at a loss for words.
His saunter was slow and elegant, as though he was a lion approaching his prey—even so, he could not hide his thirst and hunger. No, it’s not as if he was even trying to hide it.

As he finally arrived in front of me, he raised one hand and held my chin. With his thumb, unceremoniously, he rubbed my lower lip.
At the familiar action, I felt myself shudder. He had always been rather rough whenever he received my guiding.
His delighted expression was slightly distorted.

“Ha…”

The moment his skin touched mine—the moment I started guiding him—he let out a deep, drawn-out sigh. His hot, thick breath clung to my eyes and lips.

I felt a warm hand touch my back, and he soon pulled me close to him forcefully. With my body pressed entirely against his, I couldn’t hide my surprise as I glanced up at him.
Then, when he opened his previously closed lids, his blue eyes looked at me as though he’d been waiting.

With his lips so close to the tip of my nose, he turned his head obliquely as he crooned.

“I’ve been looking for you for such a long time, Honey.” <<less

If there is a gloomy skull on the castle, Ning Su will pick it up and make it into a night light to sleep beautifully.

Occasionally, he will also make small clothes for ghosts crawling on the ground.

In the era of popular esports, a globally popular game called "Destiny" was born.... more>>

This is a close-quarters holographic reality game with a focus on cold weapons such as swords, spears, guns, bows, and other melee weapons.

The charm of close combat, the interplay of flashing blades and shadows, the brutal battle where only one survives out of a hundred, captivate players and make the major world esports tournaments thrive.

Chen Xingran, a weapon master from an ancient martial arts family, wakes up from slumber and finds himself in a strange world, becoming an ordinary student at the Capital Esports Academy, endlessly worrying about how to reach Silver rank.

As he looks at the familiar Tang Sword, broadsword, silver spear, dagger, long whip, and more in the game... Chen Xingran falls into contemplation.

"I'm familiar with this."

Thus, in "Destiny," a formidable specialist in weapons emerges.

His swordsmanship is sharp and elusive, his heavy sword has no edge, his gun moves like a dragon, and his dagger is as agile as a serpent... No matter how challenging the weapon is, it becomes a magnificent and dangerous performance in his hands.

"A Tang Sword is not used like this."

"Protecting teammates? Not necessary."

"Isn't it enough to eliminate all the enemies?"

...

In the world of "Destiny," a legend begins to spread about a fearsome demon king.

It is said that every professional player who faces him in combat meets a tragic end...

However, the good news is that this demon king seems incapable of using ranged weapons?

His archery skills are astonishing. Even with a rapid-firing crossbow, he can't hit a single shot, earning him the title of the "Master of Human Outline Drawing."

Yang Yunchen, the former champion of the FPS World Championship and hailed as the number one marksman, says this while watching the young man who effortlessly takes on three opponents with a Tang Sword.

"Why need ranged weapons when I'm here?"

The blushing young man, finished with the fight and sharpening his sword, chases after him and slashes three blocks.

PS:

1. This is a fictional holographic close-quarters battle royale game with many imaginative elements. You don't need to have played the game to enjoy the story.

2. Game skills and settings are inspired by games like "Eternal Punishment," "Apex Legends," "Overwatch," and others.

3. The weapon master is invincible in close combat but terrible at using guns, while the archer never misses a shot. They pretend to be weak and rely on their spouse, the cunning world champion, to save them.

4. This story doesn't follow the typical trope of the protagonist being overwhelmingly strong. There may be initial setbacks, but later on, the characters reach their full potential and dominate the game, creating various highlights. Please avoid making assumptions about the author and enjoy the story and comments harmoniously. Thank you.

One-sentence summary: A close-quarters weapon-based martial arts battle royale game.

Concept: Promoting traditional culture, showcasing the charm of blades and shadows in the martial arts world.

Highly recommended work: Chen Xingran, a weapon master from an ancient martial arts family, encounters a car accident and wakes up in a new world where the esports industry is highly developed. He becomes a freshman at an esports academy. In this world, a holographic battle royale game called "Destiny" featuring cold weapons has taken the world by storm. As he looks at the familiar Tang Sword, dagger, longsword, broadsword, and more in the game, Chen Xingran falls into contemplation. Thus, in "Destiny," a formidable melee demon king who is proficient in all weapons quietly emerges and becomes a terrifying presence in the professional gaming scene.

This story flows smoothly and naturally, with vivid and distinct character portrayals. The depiction of battle scenes is delicate and visually engaging, weaving together flashes of blades and shadows, tactical confrontations full of deceit, and the dangerous yet magnificent world of close-quarters weapon combat. With vivid storytelling, it paints a blazing legend in the realm of eSports.

TN:

Title: The phrase "磨刀不误砍菜弓[电竞]" in Chinese is an idiomatic expression commonly used in the context of eSports. It translates to "Sharpening the knife doesn't delay the cutting of vegetables with the bow [eSports]."

This phrase is often used to emphasize the importance of preparation and practice in esports. It means that even though it is essential to hone your skills and improve your strategies, it should not hinder you from taking immediate action and engaging in competitive gaming. Just like sharpening a knife is necessary for efficient cutting, training and preparation are crucial in esports, but they should not become an excuse for procrastination or hesitation. It highlights the balance between preparation and execution in the world of competitive gaming. <<less

Chu Yan never thought that he would transmigrate into a cultivation novel and enter a life-and-death contract with Xie Yunming, the main villain.... more>>

It would have been fine if he was just an unimportant side character, but according to the plot of the original book, Xie Yunming would only focus on breaking the life-and-death contract and send him off to the west.

In order to avoid this death flag, Chu Yan decided to work hard to restore his negative favorability points with Xie Yunming to ±0.

For example, he would take the initiative to find the ancient scroll that allowed them to undo the life-and-death contract so that they could peacefully split—

Shit!?

Chu Yan watched helplessly as Xie Yunming burned up the ancient scroll with spiritual flames until there wasn’t even ashes left.

In the dim light, the man’s face was full of smiles and his words were gentle, “What are you thinking, shidi? If I die, you shall be buried with me.”

Chu Yan: ???

Is something wrong with you?!

—

Rumor has it that after Xie Yunming, the head disciple of the Sword Sect, returned from his travels, he brought with him a shidi with extremely poor talent and a weak and sickly body.

This shidi had a peerless appearance as well as a gentle and kind temper. If it weren’t for his body that almost guaranteed he would die young, the number of people that would come to propose marriage would have probably smashed the Mountain Gate of the Sword Sect to the ground.

Everyone guessed that he wouldn’t live longer than a few years, and they lamented that such a proud son of Heaven like Xie Yunming had become cultivation partners with this shidi. Maybe he was looking forward to becoming a widower.

Unexpectedly, after hundreds of years, there were actually two sword cultivators from the Sword Sect who passed their tribulations and ascended at the same time. One was Xie Yunming, the proud son of Heaven, and the other was Chu Yan, his shidi who died young.

Chu Yan: Thank you for bringing me. We have now ascended and share the same life as Heaven and Earth.

Xie Yunming: Share the same life as Heaven and Earth?

Chu Yan: No, no, share it with you. <<less
