In YGGDRASIL as Void

The first thing he realized when he opened his eyes was simple. This was not his room. And this was not his body. Reincarnation? A second chance? No. He was no hero. In his previous life, he reveled in destruction. He had taken a life without remorse. If there was justice in the universe, he should have fallen into hell—not awakened in a luxurious manor a century into the future. Outside the massive glass windows, a suffocating green mist swallowed the world. Toxic fog. A ruined civilization. A future shaped by the greed of powerful men. This wasn’t salvation. It felt more a like punishment. Alone in an isolated estate, abandoned by a distant father and overshadowed by gifted siblings, the body he now inhabits belongs to a forgotten fifth son—rich, neglected, and conveniently invisible... Perfect. No one would notice if he wasn’t the original anymore. While searching for answers, he discovers something familiar. A game. YGGDRASIL. A name pulled straight from a novel he once read. Coincidence? Fate? Or something far more sinister? With unlimited funds and nothing holding him back, he purchases the most advanced full-dive system and requests a custom character—one that goes beyond the game’s normal limits. And when he finally logs in… He does not create a hero. He becomes something else. ------- Warning : This story contains BL (Boys’ Love) and yaoi themes.

Multiverse game creator

Aaron was the perfect stereotype of the bedroom-dwelling otaku gamer. He’d played practically every game out there and binged movies and series like a machine. Naturally, that made him the prime candidate to become the Multiverse's video game creator! Ahem... let’s rewind for a second, please. Right now, I’m facing a bit of a blunder… Aaron, the poor kid, is dead. And it’s probably my fault. Well, no, it was all part of the plan, of course! How could I—the almighty and magnificent Creator of all things—ever make a mistake? Yes, that’s it: I specifically brought the soul of dear Aaron here to entrust him with a mission of the utmost importance: creating video games across the Multiverse! (A bit of a shaky premise with no real goal, you might say? Well, yeah, I just made that up on the spot. No one can ever find out that I sneezed and accidentally caused poor Aaron’s death—my legendary dignity is at stake here.) PS: The story might feel a lot like "Marvel Game Maker" at first. That’s normal, I took some inspiration from it, but don't worry—the plot will head in its own direction very quickly, especially regarding the games developed and the worlds visited. I’m looking forward to your feedback, positive or negative, and above all, I hope you have a great time reading my story.

CROWN OF ASH AND MOONBLOOD

In Iruwa, magic is not inherited the way land or titles are. It is taken,paid for, Survived. Zalira Nembara knows this better than most. She is the last daughter of a fallen royal house, raised on what was lost rather than what was promised. She keeps her head down, her power hidden, and her name unspoken. In Iruwa, women born with moon-bound magic do not get choices. They are married into usefulness, silenced into obedience, or erased entirely. Zalira has spent her life avoiding all three. Then the Ash Crown awakens. A relic older than the kingdoms themselves. A crown that does not belong to bloodlines or tradition. A crown that chooses. Its choice places Zalira at the center of a prophecy no one agrees on and no one trusts. One kingdom calls for her execution. Another demands she be bound by marriage before her power can grow wild. And somewhere between politics and fear, a man who has never needed permission decides he wants her loyalty. Prince Kadeem Ayorun of Kisiwa is known for ending wars without apology. His rule is built on shadow, fire, and the kind of power that leaves no room for mercy. The magic in his blood reacts to Zalira’s in ways neither of them understand violent, dangerous, and far too intimate to ignore. As alliances fracture and magic begins to change its own rules, Zalira is forced to decide what she is willing to become. A queen. A weapon. Or something far more dangerous. Because in Iruwa, crowns are never taken gently. And love has never been harmless.

I Don't Want This Kind of System!!

Everly, a connoisseur of orphan-to-riches tropes, always assumed her origin story began with a dramatic abandonment at the orphanage gates. Turns out, her life was even more cliché than her favorite novels! She wasn't merely dumped; she was swapped—a long-lost heiress to a vast fortune. Just when she thought her life couldn't get any more tropey, a mysterious System materialized, offering her a chance at a "good ending." The catch? Its "abilities" ranged from the utterly bizarre to the downright mortifying, making Everly question if a happy ending was truly worth the existential cringe. *** System 006: [Host, please choose 1 of these 3 system abilities!] Everly: "They're all weird! Let me just pick random!" System 006: [Hehe... host, I forgot to say that each system will have consequences, so something will happen to you when you use it...] Everly: "!!!" Days later, having been reunited with her biological family and experimenting with the System's... unique function, the consequence were already glaringly apparent. Her beloved brother: "My little sister is precious, but I need therapy to keep up with her alien-like thinking." Handsome man 1: "She's a pervert! I'm scared she'll take my innocence..." Handsome man 2: "Every time she talks, I feel like killing her. Is that normal?" NOTE: Please disconnect all logical circuits before proceeding with this novel, as it's an absolute chaotic comedy where the MC, Everly, has several screws loose in her brain. Don't expect much normalcy here—sanity checked out long ago and never came back.
