On his way home when he turned into a corner everything before him suddenly changed.

Through a game like interface popping out infront of him, he recieved a letter saying that he is currently in one of his novels and that the Admin pitied him for his lack of confidence and decided that it would be good for Ming Yu to experience his novels himself.

[Ming Yu: . . . So I cant just stay as a bystander?]

[Admin: Thats the opposite of why I forced you here dont you think?]

[Ming Yu: Admin I quit.]

[Admin: No. you can't!]

[Ming Yu: I'll starve myself and die.]

[Admin: I gave you money so go travel dammit! I wanted for you to experience this world thoroughly and enjoy it so i purposely left you away from the Capital.]

[Ming Yu: You should've just sent me there. I don't want to walk. nor talk. nor travel. why did you make this so complicated.]

The usually slow Ming Yu's typing speed and word length increased a bit from being slightly annoyed.

[Admin: For f***s sake cooperate with me and gather experience.]

Promises are meant to be kept, but a promise to save a beloved sister leads a group of high school magical girls into a dream... more>> of many literary landscapes. Out of this dream of Carroll’s wonderlands and Baum’s fairylands and Poe’s nightmares comes a monster that threatens to invade the waking world. Their promise forms the opening act of a play they can’t stop, so to prevent this monster’s debut into their world, they must play their parts to the end at all hazards to their lives. If you love quirky magical girls, bloodthirsty femme fatales, fight scenes, love scenes, twisty plot lines, fantastic settings, the possibility of dreams, and the uncertainty of nightmares, this story is for you. <<less

Everyone is merely a result of their circumstances, but circumstances vary with infinite variation. Among the infinite variants, there exist some who are designed simply to cause pain and suffering. This is a story about one of those variants.... more>>

A human, no, to call them a human would be wrong. With a mind so far detached from humanity that they should be considered no more than a reckless force of chaos and the uncontrollable urge to prey on the weak, calling it a monster is a more accurate description.

So that's what this is, the perspective of life from a monster trapped in human skin.

Behind human society lies a secret.... more>>

Two separate sub-species of humanity, each a more advanced yet divergent branch of the next stage of human evolution. Existing behind a veil of absolute secrecy, one of these branches has used its abilities to pull the strings of power for centuries.

It is into this race of highly evolved humans - Evos - that a young man is thrust. His mind is unlocked, and within it, his very own city. A representation of his conscious and subconscious mind, he can walk the tree line streets of his own psyche, he can visit the library of his memories, and he can stand atop the walls that defend them all.

More importantly, he can visit the minds of others. Influencing them to conform to his will, he is forced to confront not only the changes happening to him but the morality of altering the will of others. Every choice could make his life immeasurably easier and more exciting, but each also comes with a consequence.

One of those consequences comes in the shape of the other branch of evolution, a shadow hanging over and threatening all Evos. The Inquisitors actively hunt anyone thought to possess the powers our young hero now holds, and they are not only dangerous, they are ruthless.

Behind every pretty girl’s smile is an opportunity. Behind every insurmountable task is an easy solution. But behind it all, there is the threat.

The whispers of change are coming. <<less

“That’s what I told her, too.”

“Then stop yapping and let’s kick some ass!”

“You know, Max, for such a small guy, you’re really intense. Don’t you wanna have some fun?”

“Oh… we’re gonna have some fun, Staxx. We’re gonna have some fun...” <<less

A nationwide quarantine.
A massive government cover up.
22 million people dead.
The Secret Apocalypse.

A deadly new virus has been unleashed on a remote and isolated part of Australia. It is 100% lethal. There is no cure. As a precaution, the Australian Government has ordered a nationwide quarantine. No one is allowed to leave the country. No one is allowed to enter. School across the country has been canceled.

Despite these warning signs Rebecca Robinson and her friends are in the mood to celebrate their extended summer vacation, blissfully unaware of the dangers that are coming their way.

Over the next few days, things go from bad to worse as the virus begins to spread throughout Australia, killing anyone infected and turning them into ferocious undead monsters. Worse, the military has been ordered to contain the spread of infection and to cover up all trace of the outbreak by any means necessary. Mass panic and hysteria grip the population as the plague reaches the outskirts of Sydney.

How far would you go to survive?

Rebecca and her friends realize that it's no longer safe to simply go home and lock the door. They need to make a run for it. They need to escape from Australia. <<less

A swordmaster flees from her hometown and to the illustrious city of Halych, leaving behind a history of sorrow and pain to find better people and claim a better future for herself. There's a problem: She won't find it here. Something in Halych is turning people into monsters, amplifying their worst elements and driving them to do terrible things, and the worst part is that it's nothing new to Halych. As June works within a secretive swordsmanship school known as the Haracrein, she will be brought by degrees to fight the corruption in Halych's underbelly, and eventually she'll be forced to make decisions that make her question her deepest convictions.

Cozca is a Southlander—small for her kind, but a giant compared to most humans in the continent of Aska. She is brave, loyal, and kind. She knows little about the lands north of her. She knows little about anything, really. What she knows is how to hunt, fight, camp, heal, and work. She has traveled from her strange homeland in the south to the Midden: a boreal region inhabited by the free races after the Uprising; a war optimistically named The Last War by its victors. She's set out to return a gift, to claim her father's sword, and to rob her mother.... more>>

Edrelle is an Elf—tall for her kind, but a bit shorter than most humans. She is craven, duplicitous, and cruel. She knows everything about the Midden. She knows quite a bit about everything, really. She knows how to steal, torture, sneak, spy, and murder. She was created in an ancient alchemical vat to be an assassin for her family who live north of the Midden—the High Elves upon the frozen mountain of Elder's Peak, to fight in their wars and put down the allied races' Uprising. She's set out to rekindle an old flame, open a vault, and to rob Cozca's mother.

This is the story of how their lives intertangle. How they must both overcome their pasts, the pasts of their families, and the past of the world. How the generations of the future will be cursed by what we leave behind.

Tokyo, 2022. During puberty, adolescents encounter a tremendous amount of emotional outbursts. Relationships and love, commitment and peacefulness become important in their lives. These factors give them a sense of carefree adolescence.... more>>

But Nishida Naoki doesn't see it that way. Having had difficulties in dealing with socialization since childhood, he suddenly and unwillingly moves to Tokyo from his hometown. Taking nothing from home with him, his life begins to change under the patronage of new acquaintances. Whether his outlook on life will change with the new city, or whether he will wallow in loneliness, never having felt the touch of teenage life, is up to him to decide when he meets four other high school students.

It is a story about new acquaintances of completely different Japanese students in their final year of high school. By chance, their views cross each other, but neither of them knows until the end where their acquaintance will lead. It is a story of friendship, animosity, love, and color. It is a story about community.

Tokyo, the city of dreams. This city fulfills the dreams of workaholics and casts the lazy into exile, relaxes and never stops tiring, brings happiness to some and takes it away from others. From this beautiful city, covered by a veil of blinding lights, their story filled with dramatic challenges and tragedies begins. The story of a group of teenagers, who are unaware of their affections.

The plot takes the reader straight to the eastern country, where the sun begins to rise first. Being wrapped in sakura petals, the roads lead to the prudence of a nature unseen anywhere before. A country with mind-boggling virtues in culture and tradition tells the story of ordinary schoolchildren, suggesting a life around endless youthful unrest and human outlook. Modern Japan (Nihon) introduces people who are able to live simultaneously under difficult but beautiful living conditions. This country teaches residents to love.
