What a wrong way to reincarnate after being murdered by one's best friend!... more>>

Nekohiko's throat was slit as he was ascending his throne as the Supreme Divine Emperor. A moment later, his murderer claimed that very throne for himself. To add the insult to the injury -- Nekohiko's name was erased from all the history books as though he had never existed.

Driven by intense resentment, Nekohiko refused to die. He reincarnated. He had to find out how someone who loved him and who he loved back could destroy him so utterly along with everything Nekohiko stood for.

The only problem was that he reincarnated as a... tree. No, much worse than that. A cut tree. A simple wooden log sent to a workshop to be shaped into, let's say, a table, or a chair, or maybe -- if fortunate -- into a bookshelf for the new Emperor.

Until Nekohiko meets a soul that understands his pain and is willing to help a poor tree log gain shape that is far more fitting for a human bent on nothing but sweet, slow revenge.

Or, even better -- several shapes.

I will release a chapter every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

See the Glossary for more Information about the romance (ML section). Or in general -- for pictures and miscellaneous stuff about the book. ^^

The story is a slow burn with plenty of twists and turns and will involve a lot of mystery-solving to understand the motivations and goals of different characters. Action sequences will happen when the plot calls for them, but they will all require buildup to greater impact. The main themes are emotional and psychological explorations of identity, desire, fate, and intent. Characters will grow and develop across present arcs but flashbacks to provide context and mystery clues to their behaviors will be in order, yet without overpowering the present narrative (Flashbacks are episodic slice-of-life and do not have their own plot line).

The Chosen Ones are an evil organization of psychics plotting to take over the world. From their secret headquarters in an ancient temple, they send out armies of criminals and monsters to wreak havoc. They enslave the masses with drugs, abduct children to convert into soldiers, and perform gruesome experiments in their underground labs. They're ruthless, cunning, and closer to world domination than ever before.... more>>

But the Chosen Ones have a big problem... they squabble and fight among themselves constantly! Leaderless and disorganized, the Elders languish in their temple like five-year-olds snatching toys from one another. They can't seem to agree on how to use their armies or carry out the next step in their evil plan. In desperation, the aging Elders have brought in an efficiency expert to organize their operations and help them get back on track. Her name is Miss Planner.

A mysterious girl with blonde hair that flows like a waterfall, perfect skin, and an incredible intellect, Miss Planner is a young lady of many talents with a plan for everything. She's organized, hard-working, and beautiful, and she knows exactly what to do to make the Chosen Ones the most efficient criminal organization in history. With Miss Planner's help, they'll stomp out all resistance in their path to world domination and usher in a new era of evil!

Thank you everyone for coming to read!
I would appreciate any comments or feedback.
If you really want a release schedule, I would say like 3 chapters a week at a minimum.
It is more of a xianxia with a bit of system, a bit of sign-ins, a bit of OPness, a bit of comedy, and a bit of mystery.
It is my pilot project for such a mixed bag of genres.
Who knows, maybe it will work out?
The plot moves at a so-so pace. In my opinion, my expectation is to finish Arc 1 by 60 hopefully.
The cover art is self-drawn.

Strayed into the depths of the abyss, she remained still like a doll without its string. Yet, sunk in this pure dark world, its eyes glowed a deep red color as if exposing the predator's eyes, and looking for the prey she wants.
Looking right to left, no known being has its presence in this dark world and even the light cannot reach into this dark world.
As it portrayed its loneliness through its surroundings, deep within, she was brimming with happiness.
Keeping it's calm and peaceful atmosphere, there was no more wish than that, but to continue the peacefulness reigns the dark world.... more>>

All Wong Xue Guo ever wanted was her parent's attention on her. She had done all that she could do to get it, only for her attempts to be futile. Just when she was about to give up and just embrace the world of fiction to fill her heart, her mother suddenly changed a hundred and eighty degrees and acted like an affectionate mother that calls her ‘baby’.... more>>

The change happened around the same time as the zombie outbreak at a shopping mall. That mall coincidentally was also the place for Wong Xue Guo’s high school graduation party with her classmates.

Although happy to be showered with love and concern by her previously indifferent mother, Wong Xue Guo could not turn a blind eye to the hints of her mother’s strangeness.

Why would her mother tell her to hide right before the zombie outbreak?

Why would her father know the zombie’s weak point?

And who can tell her why her housewife mother could kill zombies with kitchen knives with ease?!

Not knowing of the plans of the witch that once scorched the lands, and unknowing of the abyss that beckons him forth. This harmless sweetie watches the stories of those around him. Ever unconscious of the turning loom of fate, always oblivious of the stories, legends, and tapestries of heroes that revolve around him as he goes, as he dances, and as he prances, leaving myths and rumours wherever he might set foot in.

But as he is unaware of those whose fates have intertwined with his, he is also blind to the soul-piercing stares of the Abyss, ever calling to him.

What life would you live after you wake up in a foreign room and world?... more>>

After Lisa fell asleep in her classroom, she suddenly found herself in a different body and a different world. Easy-going as she is and experienced with some otherworldly drama, she quickly adjusts.

Her aspiration has been for a long time to just live a peaceful and passive life observing others. Yet, with a princess visiting her every other day after she saved her and the turmoil surrounding her, the passive days seem so far away. Not that she minds having a cute girl to cuddle every now then.

This is, in the end, a story about a girl learning magic, having fluffy moments with a princess or other girls she meets in her daily life and drinking hot chocolate. In between, Lisa also has to come to terms with her own shortcomings and past or she'll risk losing grip on what she loves. Love and Life, can be fleeting, after all. <<less

Which means ... what exactly? Why would someone else somewhere have some system or ability or skill to watch ... here? Only if they had plans for who or what they observe. Or, how or why could I take advantage of this? Nope, lie low for a while, try to figure it all out-
Plus too, somehow the king can 'hand off' his view to others, notably his wife the queen, or his daughter the princess. Hmm, I shall have to think of something to do, in those times- <<less

“Guess this is it huh? Farewell, Earth.”
The girl muttered — before jumping to her death. Nobody could blame her for doing so, not after everything she went through. The girl just wanted to get it all over with, to end the suffering.

Unfortunately though, after her death, she met a rather twisted and messed up “Goddess.”... more>>
