Honkai: Withered White Camellia

[Also Known as: Honkai Unofficial History: The Valkyries Are Breaking Down?!] The white camellia, scientifically known as "Camellia japonica alba", is a flower native to East Asia, where it grows in temperate forests and shaded gardens. First cultivated over a thousand years ago in China and Japan, it became a symbol of purity and admiration, celebrated in art, poetry, and tradition. Often gifted to honor someone beloved, the white camellia's pristine petals are revered for their flawless beauty. Despite its elegance, the flower is notoriously delicate. Sensitive to harsh conditions, its petals bruise easily, and it wilts quickly when removed from its stem. Beneath its perfect bloom lies a quiet fragility, a silent reminder that beauty and purity often come at the cost of resilience. ... ??? what? Doujinshi artist Li Wu transmigrated into the Honkai world, but the plot seemed a little off. "System, why doesn't this plot match the game's storyline?" [Rest assured, our history is absolutely canon. It has nothing to do with unofficial lore.] "Then let me ask you, what's Kiana's character setting?" [Aloof, misanthropic, a loner, and totally indifferent!] "And Raiden Mei?" [A terrible personality. She loves being manipulated, scolded, and verbally abused!] "Bullshit! I drew this dark and edgy doujinshi myself, don't you think I'd know?!" "System, I really like the 'Return by Death' ability you gave me. But this setting where I *also* regress if the heroines die? I'm not a fan." ... As time passed and the plot unfolded, the Valkyries' personalities broke down even further. Raiden Mei kneeled on the ground, gripping his and Kiana's hands, saying things like, "We have to form a Valkyrie squad for the rest of our lives," and "I'll do anything." Fu Hua, without another word, shoved a half-eaten chocolate Pocky stick and a cigarette at him, saying, "A little bro should listen to his big sis. Do it right, and you'll get a reward." "Are there any normal people left?! Why is everyone completely OOC?!" [Isn't Elysia still around?] "She's the most twisted one of all!"

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..."

Marvel: Death is not the end

THIS IS NOT A TRANSLATION. When Ethan opened his eyes, he found himself seated in a high-end aircraft with a couple of men wearing the same attire as him. With the new memories in his mind, he realized that he had transmigrated into the body of a twenty-five-year-old S.H.I.E.L.D. agent with Level 7 clearance. The timing could not have been worse. It was the exact moment when HYDRA’s existence was about to be exposed, right at the peak of the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Surrounded by fellow agents, any of whom could secretly belong to HYDRA, and trapped thousands of meters in the air, Ethan’s chances of survival were dangerously low. Just as he wondered whether he would be killed again right after his transmigration, a series of information flooded his mind. He had been granted five Privileges upon transmigrating into this world. The First Privilege allowed him to resurrect thirty seconds after death, restoring his body to perfect condition. The Second Privilege introduced Resurrection Points, or RP. By killing opponents who were as strong as or stronger than himself, Ethan could earn RP, which could then be spent to resurrect. Killing anyone weaker granted nothing. If he died without any RP remaining, his death would be permanent. The Third Privilege granted him a Special Ability called Mass Manipulation. He barely had time to read through the last two privileges when he sensed something was wrong, as a strange tension filled the room. ☩ ────────── ☩ Marvel and all its characters belong to their respective creators.
