King Arthur, working for a mysterious organisation, encounters a dragon

How this all began isn't up to the entities we pray to, but to the "freedom", we claim to have. Once someone claims they are free, are they? What if they aren't free but delaying the inevitable? What if they chose the side that guaranteed their freedom, but were being secretly controlled instead? If that is what freedom is then no one would desire it like some dystopia.... more>>

But that's not what he has. He had true freedom. The kind of freedom that allowed you to break away from any predetermined path that wasn't your own, to crawl back to life after saying no to death, to change their strings of fate into uncuttable diamond weaved by their own hands. That's the kind of freedom he possesses', but like all great things, it came with a price. And the world he had come to know had outcast him in response. <<less

Everyone knows that magic is real, that it's the driving force behind the evolution society has gone through over the past few thousand years.... more>>

Everyone gets annoyed by the faeries stealing your socks, or swapping your car for a carriage, or coating all your food with salt. Because things like that don't matter enough to hide.

Everyone learns about Hitler, the darkest necromancer ever known,who singlehandedly waged war on the rest of the world, in school, and the other similar events in history. Because they were too large to hide.

But for everything else, the veil hides the magic from the mundane. There might be an unlicenced werewolf working as your librarian. Maybe a dragon owns your local banking chain. Maybe the murder victim who was killed in a locked room WAS killed by an angry ghost. Or a shapeshifter. Or the elder Fae. Or a rogue Wizard.

The solution? Everyone knows the answer to that too. The one thing every police department in the world has in common. The Wizard Division.

The L.A.W.D. (Los Angeles Wizard Division) is in for one hell of a ride, when Charlie, a new trainee foisted into the world of magic joins their ranks, and with him a whole host of new and unusual magic sheananigans comes to Los Angeles. <<less

***
Benedict Sanchez is a young scientist who inherited his late grandpa's obsession with immortality. Acknowledged in the scientific community as "The New Einstein" of molecular and cellular biology, he struggles with the limitations of modern science and society. When he almost lost hope to achieve his life mission, an extraordinary event changed everything for Benedict.

Summoned to another world, he was delighted to find that his pursuit of immortality isn't a pipe dream anymore. Even if, at first sight, his new home is similar to modern Earth, it isn't the same. Instead of machines and atomic bombs, battlefield dominated by powerful cultivators. And those beings, dead or alive, would be the key to his research.

Being an ordinary human without Spiritual Root, Benedict would pave his own road using his intellect and knowledge from both worlds. Be it other summoned earthlings, ancient cultivators, or bloodthirsty monsters - they all would be nothing but stepping stones on his path to immortality. <<less

Well, that did sound bad and further exemplified the erroneous structure of their society.

“The poor man is in such a dilemma that I just couldn’t help it. The good thing is that he’s about to get divorced from that… umm… unscrupulous alpha, what was his name? Wie Xuan? No…” Xichen did his funny hip wiggle routine as he tried to remember the name, Lan WangJi always felt contented when his brother showed his familiar ease by reverting to his unconscious ticks inside Wangji’s home, “Oh yes, Wei Wuxian!” His brother exclaimed merrily with foam lathering up his arm and the pan dripping on the floor, Lan WangJi should have just cleaned the pan himself.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Ho Chun Hei. I am currently playing the role of an extra in a novel called "If only you were me" it's a novel in which you can find tragedy, romance and serial killing.

When I read the book in my past life, I felt it ridiculous because this book had too many genres. But little did I knew I will be transmigrated into the book and that too an extra.

Well, I didn't expect myself to become the protagonist nor the antagonist. I am going to stay away from these male leads and female lead. My one and only goal is to live a life which is successful and fruitful with no chaos.

But something is going wrong. Why are these male leads back of me? Even the female lead. I wish I could turn back the time and not meet them. What should I do? I want to go back!!!

Will Chun Hei's ending be a tragedy or a happy ending?

I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com <<less
