Western VRMMO【DEMONDAL】was known for its extremely harsh game system. To begin with, there were no levels. There were no skills. There were no guilds. There was no inventory. There were no convenient system messages or maps of any kind either. It was so needlessly realistic that it was already basically a VR life simulator.... more>>

As for anything game-like, it was basically limited to weapon masteries; a proficiency level that you got from using your weapon, as well as physical strength that increased as well. That was it.

It was a fantasy game so there was magic, but forming a contract with a spirit was extremely difficult, and only 1% of the playerbase were magicians.

In this VR game【DEMONDAL】that was ridiculously close to reality, the protagonist Kei who was a well known mounted archery expert, was one day sent to another world with his Russian【DEMONDAL】friend.

The game that was severe to begin with had turned into a reality, and the harshness increased again―― <<less

Luo Xingyun is a straight Beta man, an ordinary and fringe character with only mathematics and physics in his heart.... more>>

Two seats away from him was the top Alpha Pei Yan, who is handsome and compelling, a schoolboy in the south of the city, and a master of all disciplines.

One day, Luo Xingyun witnessed Pei Yan being surrounded by school bullies in an alley. So, he silently pulled his misty blue turtleneck sweater up to the top of his head, picked up the crowbar, and gave the school bully a sap from behind, securing Pei Yan’s victory.

He flicked off his clothes when it was over and hid his merit and fame deeply.

Since then, the legend of a well-known thug has been circulating in the college. No matter how the school bully tries to track him down, there is no clue at all.

But then… Luo Xingyun realized Pei Yan was always staring at him vaguely since then.

…

A few days later, Pei Yan asked Luo Xingyun to go to his dormitory.

Luo Xingyun pushed the door and entered. He found Pei Yan sitting there, concentrating on his misty blue turtleneck sweater.

In front of him, Pei Yan rolled up his sleeves with fair fingers, and held them to the side of his face like a gentleman inviting him to dance. He even sniffed him lightly.

“It smells good.” He said with dark eyes staring at him.

Luo Xingyun: “…Classmate, I’m Beta.”

Pei Yan: “Are you sure?”

…

Luo Xingyun collected his own body surface secretions and even distilled a bottle of pure Omega pheromone.

It is Pei Yan who is biologically compatible with the differentiation at the age of 18.

The process of differentiation is unstable, Pei Yan enters the susceptible period at the same time, A value explodes, and a series of psychological problems appear, including monopolistic desire, aggressive desire, protective desire, destructive desire, and all kinds of unknown dark thoughts.

The doctor advised Luo Xingyun and Pei Yan to set up a support group. Pei Yan protects Luo Xingyun’s safe differentiation while Luo Xingyun gives Pei Yan psychological guidance and maintains reason.

Luo Xingyun: “How can you get better?”

Pei Yan stared at his long and white neck and gently l**ked his canine teeth: “If you let me take a bite, I will be alright.” <<less

Chu Xie transmigrates into a novel as a venomous, fragile beauty who torments the protagonist to the brink of death. The system tells him he must complete the storyline to return.

Chu Xie looks at the script: Frame the male lead, torture the male lead, and ultimately be killed by the male lead.

Heh, easy.

Rolling up his sleeves, he just starts tormenting the protagonist.

System: Host!! Another host has transmigrated to the wrong world, and now you must take on two people’s storylines by yourself.

Chu Xie: …?!

System: That guy had a white lotus script, which means you must protect the male lead, accompany the male lead, and ultimately die for the male lead.

Chu Xie: (╯°Д°)╯︵ ┻━┻

2.

Chu Xie has no choice but to play two roles.

During the day, he frames the young male lead.

At night, he saves the young male lead.

Finally, when he reaches the “death (retirement)” stage, he falls off his horse at a critical moment.

Seeing the male lead angrily and nervously knock over the poison wine in his hand, Chu Xie hears the system’s deafening scream.

“Host!!! Both character settings are about to collapse; you need to think of a solution!!”

That’s why I was saying, why did you give me two completely opposite character settings at that time!!!

Chu Xie touches his forehead and goes into acting mode: “Let me die, Your Highness. Only if I die can Chu Xie die… and he can no longer harm you.” Then, he performs a personality switch in front of the crown prince, and finally stabs a small knife into his heart, smoothly ending this life.

“…Host, you’re amazing!”

3.

Later, he didn’t die.

The little emperor who had sworn to cut him to pieces and avenge himself didn’t do anything.

He administered medicine to him every day and guarded him twenty-four hours a day.

“Zhen didn’t let you die, so you’re not allowed to die!”

Chu Xie: QAQ~

#I am the big boss and the white moonlight.

#I’m just an emotionless plot-driving machine, now that the plot is over, please let me die soon. <<less

Everything was effortless for Cardale Vassenberg.... more>>

Winning women’s hearts and using people.

It didn’t matter if he discarded them away after playing with them.

Elise always stood at the edge of a precipice.

Every day was a miserable and muddy life.

When goodwill, out of charity, was given entirely to her,

That kind of warmth was ardent and precious.

Cardale had numerous opportunities.

When faced with desperate, pathetic eyes.

When he heard a little sob in the pouring rain.

When he was aware of strange displeasure and nervousness.

His choices were always the same and he always won.

Still, the world moved as he wanted.

Until Elise dared to abandon him and run away. <<less

Rong Jing is an easy-going person. After transmigrating into a book, he tries his best to avoid the inevitable ending of a cannon fodder. Instead of provoking the book’s protagonist, he quietly stays as an Alpha though he is actually a heavenly dish within the circle.... more>>

The protagonist in the book is a heartthrob omega. He is born into a poor family but is constantly striving to improve himself. He’s talented and all, like he basically has a cheat in life. His career is very important to him.

Lots of big shots are attracted to him and want to bow down to him because of his bewitching pheromones. The more they like him… the crazier and more pe*verted they become.

Rong Jing didn’t finish reading the book so he wasn’t aware that this book is a wicked revenge story and that the protagonist suffered because of his beauty.

Then one day, he got drunk on those very same fascinating pheromones all night.

The next day, as he watched the crying, red-eyed protagonist, he proposed to work hard to learn how to be a good financial backer for him for one year.

A year later, when he decided to break up with him for good, the protagonist slapped him with their agreement. Even his fans scolded him fiercely saying that he should take responsibility.

Hold on!

So was he only acting innocent?! <<less

Turns out, it was me!

‘I don’t want to die like that. The sub-male lead's dad, I will avoid him no matter what.’

He proposed to me because I was an adopted child like the sub-male lead.
I will never fall in love at first sight. So let's not be swayed!

I’ve made up my mind...

“I think one of my roses will be enough for Lady.”

“Okay, I’ll marry you…”

Ah, what did I just say?
Because he’s such a handsome guy, I don’t know why.

It’s a waste to give him to others. This man, I’m gonna have to keep him.

“I’ll be honest with you. I really like how Leon looks. So if Leon fulfills his duties as a husband, I will raise Noah well as a mother.”

The phoenix released the flames of creation, turning into a torrential rain of lava that flew from the edge of the sky. Feathers of light covered the dark sky, and eternal night slowly brightened once again. Behind it was a sea of rolling clouds. Like a sea of fire, the phoenix led millions of flying birds, rising like the myriad of aurora at dawn. The birds carried a flame of rebirth and scattered it throughout the world.... more>>

The earth collapsed under the black fire. But within the flames, there was a warm holy light that stood firm against the boundless darkness. The world became two distinct poles, separated by the light of fiery clouds and morning glow. One side was eternal silence and darkness, while the other was the heart lamp. Chen Zhen opened his eyes. Holding the lamp, he used the faint light to confront the inevitable end to come.

"Living beings are just passing guests, and the departed are returning home; heaven and earth are just temporary resting places, mourning with the dust of all ages."

“I want to be a real family.”

Navia, who had been hung up on her family’s affection, does her best to become an empress while being abused, but the moment Vivian, the duke’s biological daughter, is cured, her family abandons her.

No, it would be fair to say that they abandoned her every time.

“How much longer do I have to try? To be your family.”

Navia took off her blood-soaked gloves.

Then on her right wrist, an invisible number that wasn’t visible to others was revealed.

1

Looking down at the numbers, she calmly confessed.

“Now, I’m going to stop playing with family games.”

At that moment, the number on the wrist changed.

Over the mountains and across the seas, there was a posse of villains. They were clever and cute, they were peculiar and bizarre, they were diligent and conscientious, and they were planning a jailbreak.

And then, he transmigrated into this dramatic narrative.

The World commanded: Your presence has disrupted the balance of this world. You have to eliminate the villain boss who intends to break out of this cage and take over the world.

Xu Xingzhi replied: Sorry, I’m just a salted fish.

The World: Don’t worry, the villain is the shidi that you personally doted on throughout his childhood who hangs onto each and every one of your words.

Xu Xingzhi: . . . I never wrote such a character setting.

Boss with a gentle face: Shixiong, do you prefer this golden chain or this silver one? Take your time to choose, I’ll listen to whatever you say.

In her last life, Yu Lingxi fell from a myriad of stars that surrounded the moon into the dust, and was forced to sacrifice herself to the regent, Ning Yin. The regent was born handsome and beautiful, but unfortunately he has a crippled leg. He was a twisted and cruel madman who killed his brothers and father. What Yu Lingxi was most afraid of was that while wiping the fresh blood on his hands, he smiled and said to her: “Lingxi, come here.”... more>>

After only two years of marriage, Yu Lingxi passed away suddenly. After her death, Ning Yin did not set up a mourning hall, did not make funeral arrangements and buried her, and became even more insane, slaughtering the city with blood.

Then she was reborn at fifteen years old, when she was still a high-ranking noble daughter of the general’s mansion, and Ning Yin was not yet the regent who covered the sky with one hand. Unable to swallow this anger, Yu Lingxi took the guards to find Ning Yin, who was living on the street, and intended to beat him anonymously to avenge the resentment in her previous life.

Unexpectedly, when she rushed to the scene in anger, she saw the thin boy curled up and was being pressed to the ground, and his left leg was about to be broken. The muddy water was covered with blood and trickled down, soaking his dark and resentful eyes red…

Only then did she realize what a pitiful past Ning Yin had. Yu Lingxi made a mistake due to a strange combination of circumstances, and instead of going to beat someone, she went to save him. She had no choice but to take in the little poor boy and try her best to teach him to be an upright young man with a healthy body and mind. To her surprise, as she taught and taught, the little poor boy looked at her with more gloomy and strange eyes. <<less

“What’s this?” asked Dan Woohyun.

But in the end, he died tragically at the male lead’s hands, becoming the biggest joke in the Hai Cheng circle!

To change this tragic outcome, the little Koi princess was reincarnated and became Lu Li, the daughter of Lu Jun Han.

The three-and-a-half-year-old little dumpling clenched her fist: I’m going to protect my father’s life! No one can bully him!

Who the hell is bullying whom?

Later…

Lu Junhan: “Someone! Strip him naked and throw him in the pool.”

Lu Li: “Dad, I’ll do it! I’ll take off his clothes.”

“…… “Lu Junhan paused: “Forget it, taking off your clothes is a nuisance, cut off one of his hands for me -”

Before he finished speaking, Lu Li revealed her weapon first: “I’ll do it! Dad, I can do this too!”

Lu Junhan: “……”

Afterward, a reporter asked, “Mr. Lu, what made you change your mind and vow to be a good person?”

Lu Junhan remained silent with a smile.

In order not to lead the child astray, he had to put away all his tyrannical ruthlessness, set a good example, turn the little dumpling back onto the right path, and always be on the lookout for others who might cheat her away!

But who knew that the precious daughter, who was raised with great care and protection, would end up being snatched by a little devil!

Lin Yan, the capital city’s Deputy Magistrate, cast his gaze at the fair-skinned and almond-shaped eyes proprietress.

Alas, how unfortunate it was for such a noble lady to find herself ensnared in the clutches of this predicament, compelled to partake in the humble trade of selling food for her livelihood...

Before his near-death, Chi Shen entered an infinite game.... more>>

He vanquished tens of thousands of malevolent spirits, dodged covert and overt attacks from countless players, and finally emerged victorious.

Before leaving the game, he set two simple goals for himself:

1.Find a job.

2.Be a better person.

The first goal was a cinch. Matching his expertise, Chi Shen effortlessly landed a job as a horror game designer. He joyfully went to work, sneakily slacked off, casually adjusted the company’s feng shui, exorcised spirits for colleagues, and even… occasionally took on the role of proxy head for several prominent spiritual clans.

But the second goal proved challenging. The love from his adoptive parents he once longed for, the recognition from his birth parents, and even the family’s exclusive exorcism techniques – all came pouring in. The imposter, who had once led him to his demise and obstructed his return to the family, was now kneeling, sobbing uncontrollably, begging for his life.

Chi Shen glanced at his birth family’s home, the debts of blood accumulated by the prominent spiritual clan, and the lost souls in the hands of the imposter. With a smile, he retracted his hand, “Do not disturb my daily life. This is your only warning.” Within his shadow, a catastrophic spirit opened its blood-red eyes, gazing at everyone, and slowly unveiled a menacing grin. <<less

In the 26th year of Xingyuan’s establishment, the universe entered an era of rapid development. Lu Xingwang, the third prince of the strongest planet, Stan Star, was weak and sickly.

According to what her manager, Ah Zhu Jie said, Yan Xi was just a twenty-eight tier small celebrity who graduated from an unknown art school with a non-specialized degree, without any acting skills, works, good family background and fans. Forget about being a celebrity, she wasn’t even worthy to be called an actress. An internet celebrity with plastic surgery that opened a taobao shop was way more famous than her.

She was only able to continue acting because of her gold lord Gong Ding Chen.

The ending was as expected, she ended up losing any chances to shoot, her fame had gone down the drain and everyone wanted to beat her up.

Therefore, carrying the triple burden of breaking up, cyberbullying and the humongous debt that her gambling-addicted uncle had left behind, Yan Xi killed herself by slitting her wrist.

At just 22 years old, Tang Ruoyao won the Best Actress award, with a bright future ahead. The next day, the media released articles praising her as the “Little Qin Yinong”.... more>>

Tang Ruoyao’s fans were furious – Qin Yinong had a notoriously scandalous reputation in the industry with her promiscuity regardless of gender. Rumors said half the entertainment circle had been her lovers. She even had an illegitimate daughter who was a few years old now! The shameless media, insulting their idol!

Qin Yinong’s fans also exploded in anger. They argued that their beloved actress had won countless awards both domestically and internationally, and Tang Ruoyao wasn’t even qualified to carry Qin Yinong’s shoes. They accused Tang Ruoyao of seeking attention and creating controversy.

Enterprising reporters separately interviewed the two about their impressions of each other.

Qin Yinong smiled like a fox: “Not familiar.”

Tang Ruoyao spoke formally and faintly: “Miss Qin is a senior I respect greatly in the industry, and I hope to have the opportunity to collaborate with her in the future.”

Soon, a reliable source broke the news: Qin Yinong and Tang Ruoyao would be co-starring in a film with a same-s*x theme. The public eagerly anticipated the drama, hoping for some excitement. However, to their surprise, after the completion of the filming, the two actresses had no interaction whatsoever.

The fans of both actresses engaged in intense battles, with tensions escalating between them. It seemed like a clash of titans, with Qin Yinong and Tang Ruoyao at the center of the storm.

Later on, Qin Yinong appeared on a talk show with her daughter. The host asked, “Is it true that you and Tang Ruoyao are not on good terms?”

The screen then displayed a huge photo of Tang Ruoyao.

Qin Yinong smiled faintly, about to respond.

But her daughter, with bright eyes, pointed at Tang Ruoyao’s photo and cheerfully exclaimed, “Mommy!”

The host and the entire audience: “!!!”
