[Currently undergoing severe revision of chapters 1-22 to ensure the best content is put out. Chapter 23 will be posted on May 1.] Where Authority is stolen, the Crowned become Crownless, and the very essence of this world is built off of deception. In a world where anyone can take the throne, royalty means nothing. The ones who once ruled are now Crownless. Three kingdoms stand on the edge of war. Assassins slip through shattered palaces. Monsters fall from the sky, screaming loud enough to shake the stars. Power keeps shifting, and no one knows who’s actually in control. Emory Vaughan, a boy with a strange fascination over death. After an incident, a voice spoke to him. It gives him one of the Nine Chronicles; cosmic laws that reshape reality when spoken aloud. And from that moment on, Emory is dragged into a game that was rigged before he was born. He’ll go to war. He’ll spill blood. He’ll be forced to decide if he’s really fighting for what’s right, or just a pawn caught in someone else’s delusion of power. [Currently Cross-posting on Royal Road too]

Aren Vale — the Silent Sword, the Sovereign of the Battlefield — stood at the peak of humanity as one of the two transcendent beings in the world, and the strongest among them. Duty once defined him. But when his soul fused with that of a wandering transmigrator, Aren found a new reason to live: not for glory, not for war, but for family. Retiring from a life of blood and sacrifice, Aren chose instead to become what the battlefield never allowed — a devoted husband, a loving father, and a doting grandfather. Yet peace is a fragile dream. Not even days into his hard-won retirement, a single act of humiliation against his beloved family forces Aren to step out of the shadows. Not for duty. Not for honor. But to protect what is his. And when the strongest human alive moves for the sake of love — not even gods shall dare stand in his way.

Eli Marris grew up in a home painted with silence and shattered glass. His father was a “hero” — polished boots, silver jaw, government-endorsed — but behind closed doors, he was a monster with a badge. His mother? A husk. Trained to smile through bruises. The only light in Eli’s life was the flicker of Saturday night supervillain news — not the propaganda, but the chaos, the passion, the wild unchained freedom in their eyes. Not empty. Not plastic. Alive. As a boy, Eli started to mimic them. He’d collect old news clippings of famous villain heists. Paint his face. Talk in voices. He didn’t want to hurt people… he wanted to feel like them. Something in their rebellion stirred something broken in him — not hatred, not cruelty — but longing. A sick, beautiful yearning to be free the way they were. At 14, after his father “snapped” and killed his mother in a drunken rage, the government hushed it up, pinned it on a local powered kid. Eli spoke out — screamed the truth. No one listened. So they made him disappear. Eli didn’t awaken a power. He was given one. He became part of a government “adjustment” program for troubled youth: a euphemism for human experiments. They injected him with a forbidden symbiote strain — a raw nerve of emotion-enhancing aether made from the remains of dead powered criminals. The result? His body didn’t reject it. It embraced it. Held in The Spire, a maximum security supervillain prison. They keep him in a room with mirrored walls — not to observe him, but because he hates seeing himself. The guards wear emotion-dampening implants to avoid being "infected" by his presence. Inmate rumor says that if he ever escapes, he won’t burn the world. He’ll love it until it screams.

I WAS ABOUT TO MASTER THE YELLOW SWORD---BECOME UNSTOPPABLE—AND THEN BOOM! A WHITE JADE BEAUTY AND MY TRUSTED SECT DISCIPLE BETRAYED ME. NEXT THING I KNOW, I’M DEAD. But guess what? I’m back. Once, I was the Supreme Lord of the Four Realms, feared by gods, demons, and arrogant sect elders alike. At the peak of my power, I was betrayed and struck down by those I trusted the most. Now, I’ve been reincarnated into the weak, bullied body of some no-name disciple. My divine abilities? Gone. My legendary cultivation? Reset to zero. My patience? Nonexistent. But that’s fine. If I have to start over, I might as well have some fun. Sect elders looking down on me? Slap! Arrogant young masters trying to bully me? Slap! That treacherous white jade beauty? Oh, she’s getting more than a slap. I’ve got ancient wisdom, unmatched skills, and a lifetime of grudges to settle. The path to power begins again—and this time, I’m taking no prisoners.

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

What happens when, in the midst of struggling to keep up with life, you suddenly discover that you were a princess in a past life? Now, you're just a waitress with a drunken mother and a pile of bills to pay. But deep down, you know one thing: you’ll find the stupid jerk responsible for ending your royal life, no matter what it takes. Alexia POV: Then there are the spoiled, narcissistic rich jerks who think their daddy's car gives them a free pass to treat women like objects. Not today, Satan. These guys are like walking perfume ads with egos bigger than their bank accounts. I swear, they should just marry themselves—they're clearly their own type. When one of those jerks lands at my table, I can smell the entitlement from a mile away. I don't even wait for the inevitable sleazy pickup line or the "accidental" brush of their hand against mine. Nope. I pawn them off on one of the other waiters faster than you can say "unpaid rent."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WSAC 2025 ENTRY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Alternative Title(s): Becoming Night, Becoming Midnight, Becoming Mid(night) DISCLAIMER: This story contains elements that may be intense or unsettling, including graphic violence, disturbing themes, psychological manipulation, and emotional pressure. It also explores taboo dynamics — story-driven, not glorified. Sensitive topics such as suicide, bullying, and harassment are present. Reader discretion is advised. Every night, right after midnight, 4URmn_x, known to gamers as Midnight, reigns as Japan’s top gamer. Feared and respected across the gaming world for his unrivaled skill in MMORPGs, gacha games, and platformers, his ability to master any genre has earned him a terrifying reputation. Whether it’s 1v1 duels or team matchups, Midnight dominates them all with eerie precision. And yet, his true identity remains a mystery—no one knows who he is. His username, avatar, and profile always remain the same, a male figure in every game, but nothing more. His bio simply reads: "My name is Midnight. This account serves as your midnight nightmare, with me as your x." What makes Midnight even more enigmatic is the fact that, in all his gaming history, he has only ever lost once. Speculation runs rampant. Some claim he intentionally loses a single match to lull opponents into a false sense of security. Others think he’s simply lucky, or that he’s using an alternate account to set up a "loss" for himself. Still, others are convinced that he’s a genius, pulling off impossible feats at the last moment when his health is nearly drained. His signature move? Taunting opponents with a chilling, "Too easy. Victory is mine." before finishing them off in style. Some even suspect that Midnight uses advanced programming to predict his every move, making him unstoppable. But what happens when Midnight is unexpectedly invited to a brutal survival game? A game where the stakes are real, and the only way to win is to kill or manipulate your opponents. After being ridiculed by one such gamer who defeated him, Midnight, feeling challenged, accepts the invitation. However, he enters this new game not with his usual mastery of the virtual world, but… with nothing. No high-tech weapons, no avatar armor, and certainly no reputation to fall back on. He’s forced to confront this new world with his wits alone—completely underestimated and labeled “Mid Gamer” by the others. The game pits him against ruthless players, and with weak physical abilities and rudimentary tools at his disposal, his chances seem slim. Yet Midnight is no ordinary gamer. With his sharp intellect and uncanny strategic mind, he’s determined to prove that even without his usual advantages, he can still rise to the top. Armed only with his raw ingenuity, he faces the survival game’s twisted challenges, all while trying to outsmart opponents who view him as nothing more than a joke. Can Midnight, the legendary gamer, overcome this new world’s obstacles with nothing but his mind and willpower? Or will the survival game expose the cracks in his seemingly flawless reputation?

Briar had always harbored a crush in her heart. However, with her status as the official nanny of the Meyer family, she knew her chances were close to zero. After all, there were many other eligible women out there and it was not in her place to cross this line. All it took was one crucial call from home and she found herself signing a contract she never dreamed was possible. The man she had pinned after for years, Logan Meyer, needed a trophy wife, an accessory to hang on his arm, and a mother to his three kids. And as the nanny his children were used to seeing, Briar happened to fit the bill. She needed the money to save a relative. But more than that, this was an opportunity for her to reach the forbidden fruit she could only see but not touch for years. However, when the secrets of her past, which she wished to have forgotten and had locked in Pandora’s Box over twelve years ago, threaten to come out. The kind that would shatter the image she had painstakingly forged, thwart everything that she had worked hard for all these years and send her to prison for the rest of her life, forcing her to part with the man she dearly loves. To stop her adversaries from destroying everything that she had dreamt of since she was a child, Briar would be forced to make choices. Choices that would change her life forever. Even if it means shedding all pretenses and revealing her true self.

Have you ever read a novel with such a terrible ending that you wished you could change the story and give the characters you loved the happy ending they deserved? ~~~ I was just another failure of an author, writing stories nobody read, and that never sold. Seeking to improve my writing, I read the most popular novel at that time, Solo Player, to learn what made it so popular. However, as I read this story, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated about the story’s development, which had a terrible ending. Eventually, and quite bitterly, once I ended reading the book, I found myself transmigrated into the very world of this novel. Did I become the Protagonist? A Villain? Or perhaps even an Extra? No, it was much worse than I imagined. Because I ended up becoming the most worthless character that nobody ever cared about in the novel. A character that is often considered the motivation for the protagonist to grow stronger, but also his greatest burden. Someone every reader hated! “I’m the protagonist’s sister…” However, with my knowledge of this novel's events, my worthlessness was about to change. I’ve decided to not only become the strongest but also change the story’s terrible ending! “I won’t let you go inside a Dungeon, it’s too dangerous.” ...As long as I can get this incredibly corny and overprotective brother out of my way!

He launched the [Immortal Heaven Peach (SSS Rank)] right on your face!] There was something really wrong with the Constellations this time around. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Jester Filled With Lies} is happy that you’re bringing despair to your victims!] [He has gifted you the [Jester’s Last Laugh (S Rank Privilege)] and the [Master of Manipulation (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Maiden that Watches Over Nature} seems happy you’re growing stronger.] [She has gracefully sponsored you with 2000000 Plot Points and Fully Heals All Your Wounds!] [She has also begun to wonder if you could plant some trees for her, gifting you the [Divine World Tree Seedling (SSS Rank)]!] [The Cosmic Throne {Warrior That Seeks Calamity} is satisfied with your battle performance but asks for more battle!] [He has sponsored you with 500000 Plot Points and [Beheading Sword of Destruction (SSS Rank)]!] They simply couldn’t stop gifting me things as if I were some sort of famous streamer for them. “I am grateful, but please just leave me alone already…” Chapters are long, 1500 ~ 2000+ words.

You’re too late.”
