Yun Qi never wished for riches or power, he only wanted a simple and safe life, where he didn’t need to fight for food or for a place to sleep. But most of all he didn’t want to be alone anymore. He struggled alone in all his 20 years of life and he did whatever he could to survive. But in the end, it was meaningless. After he dies, he makes a deal with a faceless man so he can live again. He needs to jump from world to world to fulfill the last wishes or to get revenge for 16 souls and change their fate. Only after the wishes are completed he can receive... more>> a little piece of soul. Each and every 16 souls had a painful life followed by a tragic death.

Here is a little explanation for those who are not familiar with “jumping from world to world and transmigration concept” and a little bit of summary.

There are thousands of worlds. Yun Qi needs to travel to 16 worlds and to take the place of another person, to fulfill his wish or get revenge and change their fate.
Each world is different, perhaps in the future or in the past, or a world where omega exists, or zombies, magic, spiritual cultivation and so on. If I say more I’m gonna spoil it.
Feel free to ask me if you don’t understand something. I will gladly explain.

Instead, with the advancements in gaming brought about by the creation of the TITAN Virtual Reality System, she's chosen to devote herself to exploring and enjoying the world of virtual reality games.

Atara Korrell, a retired Navy captain, is called back into service after a gifted scientist loses everything.... more>>

Is she serving her country? Or is she just a pawn in a great game?

Orivar is a web novel series set in the distant future. Humanity has all but mastered the exotic material known as omnium, the most common of which is called orivar: the original variety. That clear crystal is a transmuter of mass and energy, and the very existence of contemporary Civilized Space depends on it.

Deep Black, the first book in the series, begins a classic story of light versus darkness. A novel variety of omnium–one with the potential of sending Civilized Space crashing down–is stolen from a research station just beyond the Federation border. Atara Korrell, a retired Navy captain, is called to command the fastest starship ever made to chase the thieves and retrieve the stolen sample. Meanwhile, enemies both near and far vie for the omnium sample and the advanced technology powering her ship. Can Atara remain loyal in the face of seeming betrayal?

Jin Huang at the age of eighteen thought it would be fun to go to various worlds and experiencing the lives of others along with making money from it. This will be his first time earning money and having a job.... more>>

Perhaps he might overcome his shyness? Well, He doesn’t have high hopes of being able to overcome this to the point of being able to have a lover. Perhaps he might gain a little bit of courage to speak up so at least his thoughts would be heard by others.

However Jin Huang did not read the fine print. Each world will be a horror type of world. If he had known then he would have never agreed for he is absolutely terrified of the horror genre, but fortunately he doesn’t truly experience the extreme horror while others are not that lucky.

In the first world: Jin Huang meets a cute little white fox who is actually a fox demon. To be exact a fox demon that traps whoever enters his villa for almost an entire week after the first night of staying there. Of course the stay there is highly unpleasant despite the food, soft beds, warm clothing, and etc….for there are quite a few vicious ghosts in the villa mainly showing up at night. On the last night the fox demon appears to directly kill anyone still among the living after having his fun of tormenting the unlucky humans or at least that was the plan, but that all changes because of Jin Huang.

-The little fox is cute
-What little fox?! The demon fox is evil!
-The little fox isn't a demon fox. How can a cute little fox be an evil demon fox?
-............You are being fooled

Konoshira Mai is a tester working under the entity responsible for managing the creation and health of new worlds. A single world can have thousands of simulations alone making tedious and boring. The boon is a seemingly infinite lifespan in exchange for giving up your old life. This exchange is more than worth something as ‘small’ as writing off a little thing like lifespan according to the {World System}. Not everyone is suited to this type of work and training is expensive afterall!... more>>

This was all deskwork with digital visualizations of the data until what seems like not long ago to Konoshira. Suddenly, mental health in the workplace became a major concern after centuries of such tedium. Konoshira was a rare and talented office worker who excelled and even enjoyed this mundane work.

Konoshira was promoted to her chagrin as part of the control group. Her and roughly 100 other employees received a {Nanny System} and now directly enter simulations rendered as if they were real worlds. These {Nanny Systems} were also programmed to make this new variety of tests as easy to understand as possible compared to stark data. Konoshira has spent the last 10 years confronting tasks to either protect, destroy, or redirect {Plotlines}.

Should she consider herself lucky that she was assigned to the partner group and hadn’t had to tangle with these messy subjects alone?

New Chapter every day!... more>>

The Legion Consortia Galacium was the greatest civilization that ever existed. It stretched across the galaxy, made up of more than ten thousand distinct human cultures with over two hundred thousand inhabited worlds.

Millenia in age it was connected through a system of extra-spacial conduits called The Mirror Maze. It was said that one could walk from one side of the galaxy to the other in less than a hundred steps. It was a marvel of technology, art and peace. Until The Macros came, and in a blink of an eye it was destroyed.

The Macros are beings of pure motivated Trinary code. They broke out of The Mirror Maze nearly instantaneously across the Consortia, inhabiting and taking control of the technologies from the most advanced worlds to the least. With no defenses capable of stopping them, they spread throughout the galaxy, destroying interstellar culture after culture.

Far from the center of galactic civilization, The Palmyr Century was isolated enough to get advanced word of The Macro invasion. The Palmyr was able to close it’s Mirror Maze gateways to the rest of the Consortia and walled off i’s populated worlds from the threat of The Macros. For more than two hundred and fifty years this protection stood, until it was breached by Althea Ram.

Althea Ram, born on the planet Emerald in Palmyr Century was Trinary coding prodigy. This skill lead her to be recruited by a group, the ZAT, an organization engaged in illegal research into Macro code. When found out, the ZAT was eliminated on orders of The First Centurion. Althea escaped with her newly created AI, Dorian.

A fugitive, she found herself betrayed time and time again. Ultimately she joined a group organized by the Rian telepath Shirae Valerian. Shirae made a deal with Althea for her own reasons and provided her with a Mirror Port which would allow her to reach the Lost Worlds outside The Palmyr. While she is driven to discover the secrets of The Macros, Althea is still drawn back to The Palmyr by the unfinished business that has defined her.

New chapter every other day!... more>>

Iain Compton never planned to be abducted by an alien spaceship. It just… happened. And now he’s been awakened 22,000 years in the future and half a galaxy away by a pair of oddly human seeming beak nosed aliens and a space ship A.I. that seems to have more than a few screws loose. Oh, and then there's this gorgeous alien woman who he probably shouldn’t trust at all.

His plan is to find a way home to Earth, even if its unlikely to be remotely the same; to find a better class of companions among an often strange and inexplicable galactic community, at least one who won’t use him or sell him out at the first opportunity; and to do something about the parasites in his brain who are supposed to connect him to a library the size of the galaxy, but seem to only be interested in advising that almost everyone and everything he comes across wants to kill him.

But at least he can still send tweets. <<less

I died. Yup, that’s right, I died by walking into a street lamp on my way back from university. When I woke up, I had reincarnated into a world in the distant future where ferocious beasts roam the lands and the final strongholds of humanity were large enclosed cities but what surprised me the most about this world was that this world also had magic. Like Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, this world had magic, mythical creatures, and gods.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t reincarnated as a son of God, a noble, or some powerful object or beast. No! I was reincarnated into the body of an ordinary student who had died in his sleep.

Traversing through this new world, I take the exam to become a Wyvern Knight, an elite warrior who is adept in both combat and magic. Despite my chances being low, the results were completely out of my expectations. Join me as I venture this new world of magic, monsters, and mysteries. Let's see what it holds in store...
