Douluo Dalu: Writing a Diary Made All the Goddesses Fall for Me

Lin Chen transmigrates into the Douluo Continent and awakens the exact same martial soul as Yu Xiaogang—Luo Sanpao, with only half a level of innate soul power. Just as Lin Chen falls into confusion and despair about his future— He activates the Diary System. As long as he writes a diary every day, he can obtain rewards. So he sets a small goal first: Step on Tang San and become a god before him. But growth must be low-key and steady. He must develop in the shadows and never become an early target. However, as time goes on, Lin Chen discovers something is very wrong— The Douluo goddesses have all started clinging to him. Qian Renxue removes her disguise. Xiao Wu distances herself from Tang San. Zhu Zhuqing tears up her engagement— All of them, just to follow Lin Chen. Even the Ice Emperor and Snow Empress transform into humans. And the long-sleeping Silver Dragon King awakens ahead of time, only to see Lin Chen once. Yu Xiaogang:Impossible! My cultivation plan for Luo Sanpao can’t be wrong! How could your Luo Sanpao evolve into the Golden Holy Dragon?! Tang San: I possess twin martial souls and the Tang Sect’s ultimate techniques—how could I lose to a native?! Gu Yuena: Lin Chen, you saved our soul beast race. As a reward… I’ll give you a beautiful Silver Dragon King. Lin Chen: Isn’t that just you???

I Became the Simp Character I Roasted Online

Listen to me closely. Never, and I mean NEVER, leave a hate comment on a game forum right before you die. My name used to be... well, it doesn't matter. I was a 34-year-old salaryman who died in the stupidest way possible. How? I got slapped to death for grabbing a high school girl’s "assets". Wait, hold on! Don't look at me like that! It wasn't my fault, okay? My hand just moved on its own! It was just a tiny, split-second intrusive thought! Come on, you guys reading this—don't act like saints. You’ve had those dark urges too, right? You’ve wanted to grab something forbidden at least once in your life, right?! RIGHT?! Anyway, she slapped me. So hard my soul literally ejected from my body. I thought that was the punishment. I was wrong. When I opened my eyes, I was in [Legends of Valtheris]. Yes, that trash game. The one with the cliché plot where the world ends because some teenage students get their hearts broken. And the worst part? I didn't become the Hero. I didn't become the Villain. I became Revan von Alstaire. The background character. The loser. The guy I literally insulted online five minutes before I died. I called him a "Simp" and laughed at his "Tiny D*ck." Fate is truly a comedian. Now, I’m destined to be the bullied lackey of the future Villainess, Sylvia von Vespera. The game script says I should lick her boots, accept her abuse, and die with her like a loyal dog. Screw that. Remember my last comment? "Revan is such a loser! Tiny dck! If I were you, instead of bowing down, I would squeeze her boobs and own her completely! Garbage character!" Well, it seems God took that personally. Fine. You want a show? I’ll give you a show. I won’t be a simp. I won’t filter my words anymore. I’ll let my intrusive thoughts win. I’ll turn this trash plot upside down—even if I have to slap every "Genius" in this academy to do it.

The Dark Lord's Second Chance

[⚠️ Warning: English not my prior language, so if any grammatical and any kind of mistakes are expected. please let me know to correct it if you find any.] They called me the Scourge of the Seven Realms. The Black Emperor. The man who'd conquered half the world before his thirtieth birthday. None of those titles mattered now, as I lay dying on the blood-soaked marble of my throne room. "Any last words, Damien?" High Priestess Celeste stood over me, her blade — my own sword, stolen during the battle — still dripping with my blood. Behind her, the leaders of the rebellion watched with hungry eyes, eager to see the tyrant fall. I wanted to laugh. After everything I'd done, all the kingdoms I'd conquered, all the battles I'd won, I was being killed by the woman I'd once loved. The woman I'd trusted above all others. "You won't win," I managed, blood bubbling from my lips. "The demons... they'll come regardless. You've doomed everyone." "Better the demons than you," she spat. The irony was bitter. I'd conquered the world to unite it, to prepare for the demonic invasion my visions had shown me. But fear and propaganda had turned me into a monster in their eyes. They couldn't see that everything I'd done was to save them. "So be it," I whispered. "May you live long enough to see your mistake." Celeste raised the blade for the final strike. "Goodbye, Damien." The sword fell. Darkness swallowed me. And then... [Discord: https://discord.gg/MYvk4cMUsx]

Elegy of Futility and Despair

In the aftermath of a failed peace agreement in Odessa where Ukrainian President Dmytro Melnyk agreed to cede 2/4 of Ukraine's territory to Russia, NATO forces launch a drone strike that kills both presidents and UN mediators. Lieutenant Nikolai Rozhdestvensky survives the attack and witnesses the event spiral into global nuclear war. The assassination triggers a cascade of conflicts: Russia declares war on NATO and attacks Alaska; China reunifies with Taiwan amid the chaos; and the US finds itself fighting on multiple fronts. As tensions escalate, nuclear weapons are deployed. Nikolai is reassigned to escort civilians to bunkers in Sevastopol, which has been seized by Russian religious mutineers called the Order of Saint Cyril. During the evacuation mission, Nikolai's team fights off drone swarms and deals with the psychological trauma affecting Sergeant Olena Khmelnytsky, a soldier broken by previous combat at Bakhmut. They successfully reach Sevastopol's fortifications, but despite attempts to intercept incoming missiles with S-500 defense systems, six nuclear warheads strike Crimean cities, killing 1.4 million people. Nikolai is vaporized in the blast. In an inexplicable twist, Nikolai's consciousness survives and reconstructs in what appears to be an otherworldly Gothic cathedral decorated with Haemanthus flowers. A mysterious robed woman performs a disturbing liturgical hymn. When one of four other "newcomers" asks a question, the woman brutally mutilates him though he regenerates and manipulates his memory. She then welcomes them as "venerable heroes" at the beginning of their "fantasy," suggesting they've been transported to another world or dimension where death may not be permanent.

My School Life As a Figuran

​"Beautiful..." Reina whispered. She took off her coat, letting the mountain breeze sweep against her white dress. ​I stood a few steps behind her, watching how the white petals fell and got caught in her black hair. In this place, with no one watching, Reina didn't look like "The Princess" or the perfect "President." She looked... fragile. Like the petals she was staring at. ​"Izumi," she called out without turning around. "Do you ever wonder... what if we had never entered that room? What if you had never agreed to work on those stupid fliers?" ​"I’d probably be a very successful unemployed person by now," I answered. "And you’d probably still be the most feared person in school, yet the loneliest person in your own world." ​Reina turned around. Her eyes fixed on me with an intensity that made me want to look away, but I forced myself to stay still. ​"The world out there is so noisy right now because of that video," she said. "Everyone has an opinion about us. They all feel like they own us. But here... under this tree, no one owns us but ourselves." ​She took a step closer. One step. Two steps. We were now only inches apart. ​"Tell me," she whispered, her voice nearly swallowed by the wind. "Who is Nakamura Izumi to Kurokawa Reina, when there are no cameras recording?" ​Love. ​The word felt foreign on my tongue. It felt too "shiny" and disgusting for someone like me. ​But, her silhouette under that white cherry blossom tree... the weight of her head on my shoulder... the way she looked at me when no cameras were watching... ​It all kept replaying in my head like a broken film that refused to die. ​My mind was spinning. I swallowed hard, looking into her eyes which reflected the shadow of the evening sky. I paused for a moment, then took a deep breath. "For me, you are..."

CHOKERS

Los Angeles, 2085. The world’s run by Command—a militarized authority that regulates the powered, the Armed, and promises safety from parasite-taken monsters called Disfigures. When a Breach erupts during a protest, Command blames civilians, triggers mass arrests, and turns “wrong place, wrong time” into life sentences. Seventeen-year-old Jaden Banks wants one thing: stay out the way. He’s a low-grade telekinetic with tired eyes and no interest in being a hero. Command doesn’t care. Swept into the Containment Intake Center, collared, injected, and stripped into white inmate gear, Jaden becomes a Choker—a prisoner deployed on the front lines in Collared Response Squads. Breaches don’t stop. The city doesn’t pause. Inside the system, people break into Certified CRS lapdogs… or become Leashed. Outside, Disfigures grow smarter, waves hit harder, and something behind the outbreaks starts to feel organized. The strongest fighters alive still can’t challenge the Disfigured King alone—because his ability, King’s Turn, adapts to anything that doesn’t erase him in one shot. Jaden learns fast. Too fast. As his power sharpens and his body hardens in custody, his calm stops being restraint and becomes a threat. Between school cadets chasing rank, Command officers enforcing quotas, and inmates fighting to stay human, the story fractures into multiple POVs—each one watching the same machine grind people down. Then Jaden decides the machine deserves to bleed back. And when the Chokers finally revolt, the question isn’t whether Command can stop them. It’s how many districts will burn before anyone can.
