Hou Niao, devoted to seeking the Dao, found himself mistakenly sent as an undercover agent to the Demon Sword Sect, eagerly anticipating the day he’d be rewarded for his service and could return to the Daoist Sect… Only when he had become a towering figure in the Sword Dao did he sorrowfully realize that there was no one left with the power to recall him!

"Nine Heavens cast down the Undying Tree, from the tomb the Immortal's bones were fetched; Taoist Venerable tut-tutted as they drank blood plasma, Old Buddha relished in the chew of meat; Beasts and livestock rang the Dharma Drum, city foxes and hole-dwelling rats boiled in the pot; In the Immortality Wine, the resentful spirits were fishy, at the Killing Banquet, the Dao Fruit was bitter!” In this world where Daoist Skill manifested, countless Sect Cultivators, Side Door Magicians, princes and scholars, officials of high rank and nobles all coveted immortality! Owl God Tomb, stealing heavenly secrets, Pearl Gathering Skill, Holy Infant Pill, bone effigies, Yin God Shrine, human-transformed monsters, Undying Elixir, Red Line Poison, Blood Immortal insects, Mermaid Meat, gold-threaded robes, Five Poisons Primordial Spirit, Seven Star Life Extension... They killed and harmed life only to steal the "Killing Dao Fruit" borne upon that Undying Tree! Until... a sly "Fishing Man" came to this world. Wang Yuan, born with the Small Book of Life and Death, had but a simple and unadorned dream: Amid bustling strings and smoky vistas, on a night bathed in moonlight, in peace and quiet did I lean on the rail, savoring the wind, toasting to the stars. With his "Bride in bridal clothes," watching the sunrise at Taishan in the morning, admiring Qionghua in Luoyang at noon, and drinking under the aurora by the North Sea in the evening. "But you all smell so incredibly fragrant! No more, none shall escape, for today I shall crowdfund Cultivating Immortality! Please... my treasure, turn around!” The blood-red veil of the Bride abruptly fluttered to the ground.

The issue that originally preoccupied Tang Xian's thoughts was whether, amidst these world-destroying bosses, he should be a hero for just a second or continue to pretend to be a boss. Later, he realized that, in the midst of pretense, he had actually become genuine...

"Rosse... huh..." Rosse stared blankly at the boy in the mirror, momentarily at a loss for words. The boy in the mirror had a smooth and fair face, well-defined features, exuding a sense of cold and stern aura. His deep, dark eyes shimmered with captivating light, and his whole body radiated a noble temperament. He had transmigrated, or perhaps it was memory awakening, and directly became a Celestial Dragon. ’This is just, way too good!’ However, his identity was a bit awkward. His name was Jaygarcia Rosse, a standard Celestial Dragon name, and his grandfather was Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the current Five Elders, and also the first Five Elder to be removed in the original One Piece. ——— [Ding!

On Royal Road, Saylor Cogni believed in kindness—until the world tore that belief apart. Falsely accused, abandoned by everyone he trusted, and left to rot in silence, Saylor’s faith in humanity dies with a single cruel message: > “This is what you get for trusting people.” But death isn’t the end. It’s the beginning. Dragged into the Broken Field, a nightmarish realm suspended over an abyss of black mist, Saylor is one of fifteen chosen in a cruel survival lottery known only as The Dead Game. Above them spins the Broken Wheel—a demented machine that grants players devastating powers at random, from blood-chains and kinetic detonations to reality-bending spells. Most fight to survive. Some fight to ascend. But Saylor’s ability is different—a glitched Mimetic Spin that copies others’ powers, adapts to their evolution… and becomes something far worse. As the players begin to fall and the gods begin to descend—fallen champions twisted into monstrous kings of power—Saylor uncovers a deeper truth: > The Game doesn’t crown victors. It corrupts them into gods. And he may be next. You can find this story on Royal Road as well

Deep in the heart of the dense forest, a group of children gathered for a game of hide-and-seek. Little did they know that this seemingly innocent game would soon take a sinister turn. The sun began to set, casting long shadows across the forest floor, and an eerie silence settled in the air. The children selected one of their own, a timid girl named Emily, to be the seeker. With a nervous smile, she closed her eyes and began counting, her voice echoing through the trees. As the seconds ticked by, the remaining children scattered into the darkness, seeking out the perfect hiding spots. Emily finished counting and opened her eyes, ready to find her playmates. But as she ventured further into the forest, a sense of foreboding gripped her. The once familiar surroundings seemed twisted and distorted, as if the very essence of the forest had turned against her. The trees, once tall and majestic, now appeared gnarled and twisted, their branches reaching out like skeletal arms. The moon's pale light filtered through the thick canopy, casting an otherworldly glow on the forest floor. An unsettling chill ran down Emily's spine, but she pressed on, determined to find her friends.

Tenior and Sheryl have always been trouble when together. But when the outbreak began and the world descended into chaos, they quickly realised that all they had left was each other.

Before there was a Hunter King, there was a Dragon King. Before there was a Shadow, there was Destruction. In the beginning, there was only ruin. Born of the primordial clash between Creation’s flame and the abyss beyond stars, Antares, the Monarch of Destruction and King of the Wild Dragons, reigned as the supreme force of annihilation. But he was not alone. The Monarchs, forged in chaos, warred endlessly with the Rulers, beings of order and light, over the fate of countless worlds. Mortals were pawns, pieces, casualties. Yet time—even for immortals—is a scythe that spares none. This is the untold saga of Antares: from his rise among dragons to his brutal war with the Rulers, from his battles alongside and against fellow Monarchs, to his final confrontation with Sung Jinwoo, the Human who ascended to the Shadow Throne. Told in the mythic voice of Antares himself, this tale is one of pride, devastation, bitter eternity, and the slow unraveling of a being who once called himself invincible. But death is not the end. Not for Monarchs. Not for kings. When Jinwoo offers Antares a choice—perish into nothing, or live on in a new form to guide his son, Sung Suho, toward greatness—Antares must confront the one war he never waged: the one within himself. Destruction, Dragons, Monarchs, Rulers, Mortals, & Shadow is a mythic prequel to Solo Leveling, a sweeping epic that reimagines the origin and legacy of the universe’s most feared being.

After a wave of reports about animal attacks, disappearances, and the brutal murders of hikers in Arklay Forest, the S.T.A.R.S. Division launched an investigation. This operation would later be referred to as the Spencer Mansion incident, which occurred in the Arklay Mountains in late July 1998. The events that followed caused fear in Raccoon City to reach new heights. In the weeks after, the S.T.A.R.S. Division was disbanded while looking into Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, which was under scrutiny for allegedly conducting illegal experiments involving zombies and other creatures. Reports of missing tourists and residents added to the already tense atmosphere. Rumors of corruption, bribery, and even more serious crimes began to spread throughout the city. In response, the Raccoon Police Department set up a new SWAT unit, mostly made up of inexperienced officers, with only a few veterans to fill the gap left by the S.T.A.R.S. Division. To make matters worse, a fugitive known as the 'Arklay Butcher' escaped during a transfer and remains at large. In the midst of all this chaos, Raccoon City continued to experience strange incidents, hinting at deeper mysteries and chilling stories from survivors caught in this nightmare.
