[BL] The System Runs on Magic

༺❘✦ Ryo moderates online drama. Llewellyn is the drama. The System decides online arguments count as combat experience — and sends Ryo into battle as his partner. ✦❘༻ ━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━ Ryo thought moderating online drama was the worst part of his job. After years of night shifts, caffeine, and defending the Internet’s most polarizing figure — Llewellyn, the world’s most famous hero, the System’s golden boy, and the only person alive with Transcendent-level Elemental Mastery — Ryo figured he’d seen it all. Conspiracy theories? Fan petitions? Cult-like followers? All in a night’s work. Until the System decides that arguing online at 2 AM now counts as combat experience. Turns out Ryo’s unwavering defense and obsessive threat tracking apparently make him the ideal partner for Llewellyn himself… so the System sends him straight into battle! His role? Magical crisis management, wrangling unstable Elemental forces, and helping tackle whatever Magic is currently warping reality — all while keeping the world’s most powerful hero alive. Easy, right? Except that now he’s neck-deep in Dungeons and Distorted Realms — and just a little too fixated on Llewellyn’s mastery in battle. And everything else. It would be fine if the System’s matchmaking algorithms didn’t keep pushing them closer. ━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━ What you’ll find here: System | Magic | BL | Magical Apocalypse Character-driven | Feral Partnership | Emotionally repressed chaos (Slow Burn-ish + Mutual Attraction/Pining) | Banter | Combat | System mechanics | Elemental Magic | Slice of life downtime | VR Games | The apocalypse is already happening, and the internet is not handling it well.

The Walking Dead: Emily's Metamorphosis (INTERMITTENT)

The Walking Dead: Emily's Metamorphosis from Visions of Future Saga ---- Emily had the perfect life: luxuries, parties, and the unconditional protection of her father, Ron. But her privileged bubble is about to burst. Ron's warnings about a "rare fever" and the disturbing presence of the mysterious Alex on her birthday are only the prelude to unimaginable horror. When chaos descends upon the city in the middle of a school performance, Emily is thrown into a world where walls crumble, screams blend with the slow footsteps of the dead, and normality dissolves into blood. Rescued by Alex, the same man her father blindly trusts, Emily is returned to a shelter that no longer feels like a home, but like a training ground. With her world turned upside down, Emily refuses to be a burden. Her journey has just begun from spoiled child to leader. She will learn to wield a weapon, face the horror of the infected, and make decisions that could mean life or death. But amidst the desolation, one name echoes in her mind: Alex. As she searches for her own place in an uncertain future, she knows her story is intertwined with his, in a world where only the strongest, and most determined, survive. Can Emily forge her own destiny in an apocalypse that has taken everything from her, except her will to fight? ---- This is a novel about an 18-year-old student who goes from living a normal life to being a survivor of a zombie apocalypse. This is a spin-off of my novel, The Walking Dead: Visions of Future. This novel will have approximately four chapters of background within the main "universe" covered in the main novel and then will present the perspective of a student surviving the zombie apocalypse. The novel was intended to be short, just to present a different perspective and narrative from the main novel, but I have already written 15 chapters and planned at least 40 chapters. While there will be connections to the main novel, this is essentially a separate story. ---- REMINDER THIS NOVEL IS NOT SET IN ANY OF THE SETTINGS FROM THE ORIGINAL FRANCHISE. IT IS NOT BASED ON THE SERIES, THE GAMES, OR THE COMIC. ---- Genres: Apocalypse/Zombies/Suspense/School Life/Action/Slice of Life/Horror/R-18/Romance/Side Story/ ---- I write for money, so I need money sent by "stork." ---- The cover image is generated by AI

Apocalypse: Zombie King is the Female Lead's Younger Sister

Zerra Sylvaris, a celestial nine tailed fox and disciple of a famous celestial ancient beast, was transmigrated as a zombie in an apocalyptic world. She became a mindless creature with rotting flesh and an unpleasant smell. After spending most of her life solely based on zombie instinct, she emerged as the zombie king. Thus, she gradually remembered who she was. She fought to survive, fighting against superpower humans who were trying to get rid of her. She wanted to go back to her celestial world. Until she found out that the world was actually just a novel. She was a cannon fodder, the temporary zombie king before another one replaced her. The female lead was her sister, and the scumbag male lead was her fiance! And she, the annoying younger sister, was merely a stepping stone to bring their relationship closer. After countless reincarnations, she found it hopeless to go against them. Her ending was always the same, definite death.  However… she looked at the male lead in confusion. This time around, everything was weird. To quickly end this round of reincarnation, she intended to go directly jumping to the densely packed zombies, but he stopped her. Instead, his increasingly intense gaze frightened her! In her process to become a zombie king, she thought that her flesh would turn like those rotten zombies, but this time, she awakened special powers instead. Not only she kept her original fair skin, she also could control zombies. The best thing? Her supplies for several reincarnations magically remained intact on this life! It was just that, she sometimes turned into a fox. And the male lead, coveting her soft fur and cuteness... always kidnapped her. (Content warning: gore and violence) P.S. The male lead might not be who you think he is. The author loves doting and devoted male leads ~

Echorin

In the drowned borderlands of Eloweth, echoes of ancient power stir beneath the mist. Jaka Theryn and his younger brother Kai live quiet lives by Theryn Lake, mending nets and surviving the remnants of a world long fractured by the Fall. But when a strange resonance ripples through their bloodline, something only the Theryn family can feel, Jaka begins to sense that the silence around their forgotten town is not peace, but containment. The Theryns are descendants of those who once guarded the ancient Echorin, relics of immense energy, left behind after the cataclysmic split in humanity. The Fall did more than shatter the world. It fractured the essence of life itself. From its aftermath rose three intertwined lineages. The Bloodborn, who sustain themselves through the resonance of life itself, the Lunarborn, whose bodies bend beneath the pull of the moon, and the unaltered humans who remain caught between both. Each race evolved from the same spark, yet each covets the Echoes for different reasons. Power, Balance, or Survival. Jaka grounds his brother Kai, who is plagued by vivid visions and prophecies of the world’s second undoing, are drawn together with a circle of unlikely allies. They uncover the truth, the relics were never meant to be wielded but awakened. They amplify what already lies within, courage, hunger, wrath, or hope. And in a world built from the ashes of its own ambition, some will learn to harness that power, while others will prove they no longer need it.

MILF Collector in the Apocalypse

Kim Minwoo begins as a hardened survivor in an apocalyptic Seoul, but each choice pulls him closer to the truth of who he really is. After bargaining with a fallen goddess, he seizes a game-like power system, not to hoard strength, but to protect a city that starts to believe in him. Subduing the ironclad Supervisor Maria forces him to confront power as responsibility; turning enemies into allies reshapes his idea of leadership from brute survival to stewardship. As the world outside worsens, Minwoo gathers refugees and rebuilds order, but the climb reveals a deeper past: he is Jade, firstborn of a cosmic Father, on his 36th life to fulfill a bargain with Mother. Accepting that truth doesn’t break himit completes him. The skills, conquests, and “achievements” were never just trophies; they map a transformation from lone fighter to guardian, from pawn to ruler. When memory returns and the final divine shard clicks into place, Jade claims both reward and burden: love, allegiance, and the mantle of rule. In the end, the man Seoul called a savior steps fully into divinitynot by abandoning humanity, but by choosing it. His journey isn’t a ladder of conquests; it’s a narrowing path of responsibility, where every victory demands greater care for those who follow him. And when the crowds roar, he smiles not at the worship, but at the weight he’s finally strong enough to carry.
