Lost World

Ethan is a man nearing forty who has squandered his life behind a screen. Since his teenage years, he has poured everything into online games, chasing digital achievements while real life quietly passed him by. Now, with reality finally weighing on him, he realizes how empty his existence has become. Despite decades of obsession, he has only one thing to show for it: the #1 account in the world’s most popular MMORPG, Lost World Online—a fully immersive virtual game operated through neural-link technology. It is an account powerful enough to guarantee fame, sponsorships, and a second chance at life. But overnight… it vanishes. No warnings… No errors… His account simply ceases to exist. Ethan spends the entire night frantically searching for answers, contacting the developers through official forums, only to be told that nothing can be done. Without the account, even streaming or professional contracts are impossible. Exhausted and hollow, he finally gives up and falls asleep, deciding to forget his regret, half hoping everything would be a dream when he wakes up. When Ethan opens his eyes, he finds himself standing before the character creation screen of Lost World Online. It feels like a dream, yet his mind is clear, his body well responsive, not even like a game. Paying little attention, he goes ahead and creates a character and initiates the game. Then, his vision is swallowed by darkness. A violent rush of wind slams into him, and when his senses return, he is standing inside a bustling town from the game. Before he can question the missing opening cutscene—something that should always play after character creation—his attention is seized by the scene around him. The town was celebrating an Annual Festival. This was a festival that only ever occurred once, a festival that marked the first day Lost World Online was launched. Realizing the impossible, Ethan hurriedly calls up his system interface—only to find that there is no options menu, no settings, no log-out button… “This cannot be real.”

[Romance] Lord Black Dragon Still Hasn't Hatched Today

Jasmine received "shocking" news: she had to marry the Dragon Ghost as his wife. But in exchange, after the marriage, she would inherit the entire estate, subjects, and territory of her husband. Jasmine was overjoyed: "Is there such a sweet deal in this world?" On the wedding day, she dressed up sharply and stepped into the magnificent cathedral, casting an affectionate glance toward her future partner. And then she saw... a Dragon Egg. The majestic Dragon Ghost was nowhere to be seen; there was only an egg lying there all by itself. Inventory of assets: A dilapidated castle, with drafty winds blowing in from all directions. Subjects: Three hundred skin-and-bone slaves who, at first glance, looked like walking skeletons about to collapse from hunger. Territory: A dead land spanning ten thousand square kilometers around the Dragon Valley, so desolate that "dogs eat stones and chickens eat pebbles." Jasmine knew she had fallen for the scam of the century, but unfortunately, the knights who escorted Jasmine here had long since "whipped their horses and vanished," running away a long time ago. An old butler, so aged he could barely walk, tremblingly stepped forward, waiting for the new Lord's instructions: "My Lord..." Jasmine held the "egg-husband" in her arms, and her rational nerves snapped: "I have land and people, could I really let myself starve to death?" Putting words into action, Jasmine rolled up her sleeves and officially embarked on the path of tilling the soil to get rich. Many years later. A strange town suddenly appeared on the mainland, rumored to be obscenely wealthy. From that place flowed exquisite fabrics, pure white porcelain, and sparkling jewelry... Anyone who had ever set foot there could not help but exclaim in amazement, while wandering poets competed to compose poems praising that prosperity until their throats were sore. A certain greedy King became overcome with avarice and brought a massive army, intending to seize the town for his own. The result? They were treated to the sight of a giant dragon descending from the sky to "pay them a visit."

One Piece: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Raising Nami

Release schedule: At least 2 chapters per day - sometimes more, depending on the power stones received A modern soul is accidentally reborn into the One Piece world, gifted by a “mass-market system” with the legendary Rumble-Rumble Fruit — transforming him into the feared “Thunder God” Leno. But he seeks no throne, no war, no crown… only freedom. Starting in Cocoyasi Village, he raises Nami and Nojiko into fierce warriors, then gathers a dazzling crew of heroines — Kuina, Uta, Hancock, and more — each drawn to his charm, power, and unwavering devotion. Nami pouts, twirling his collar between her fingers: “Leno~… you said I’d be your only bride… so why’s my wedding ring still waiting while you collect more beauties?” Nojiko leans in with a sly smile, voice velvet-soft: “Darling… should I start setting extra plates at dinner… or extra pillows in your bed?” Kuina crosses her arms, eyes gleaming with challenge — and something warmer: “So you ‘tricked’ me onto your ship? Fine. But if I become the World’s Greatest Swordswoman… you owe me a kiss for every title I win.” Sailing aboard a luxurious vessel flying the Adventurer’s flag, Leno turns world-shaking chaos into the backdrop for laughter, love, and lightning. His mission? Simple — empower his girls, protect what matters, and live unchained… with thunder in his hands, and a sea of beauty utterly, playfully, passionately devoted to him. 50+ Chapters: patreon.com/Hard_Worker
