The Vanguard!

Lin Feng read the novel for nine years. He hated it. He argued with it. He even left hundreds of comments no one answered. He knew every major plot turn and every character the story decided was expendable. He also knew how it ended for him. When Lin Feng wakes up transmigrated into that same novel as a minor villain, he remembers exactly what the plot demands. In eight years, he is supposed to die. Not alone. The people who stood by him are meant to follow soon after. One leaves a suicide note. Another writes that she doesn’t want to live a second longer without him. Their deaths are treated as acceptable losses so the real protagonist can move forward. The protagonist has a system. The world bends to protect him. Everything else exists to be used and discarded. Lin Feng has no system. What he has is memory, resentment, and a clear understanding of how those deaths are supposed to happen. He decides they are unacceptable. By avoiding the spotlight, interfering early, and changing events long before they reach the point of no return, Lin Feng turns himself into a variable the story was never built to handle. Every deviation carries risk. Every choice he makes draws attention. But if the narrative demands that everyone who cared about him dies quietly to preserve a hero’s rise, then the narrative itself is the problem. A transmigration story about survival, shared fate, and refusing to accept an ending where love is treated as collateral damage. Author’s Note: First published on Royal Road, with simultaneous releases on ScribbleHub and WebNovel on December 24, 2025.

Thank you very much! -0- Chess players have no future in Indonesia! That was what Adrian Sheva, a 17-year-old boy from the most crowded district in Jakarta, said to convince himself that delving into the chess world would be a waste of time. He didn't even bat his eyes after getting the system that would help him become the best chess player in the world. No, it is better to work in a food stall and earn money honestly. However, it seems that the people around him disagree. They all see the talent hidden in Sheva - although Sheva himself insists that it all comes from the system - and force him to go deeper into this world. As he accumulates more experiences, playing more tournaments, making new friends, and fighting against new rivals from other countries, and winning some glories for his country, slowly but surely, this game starts to grow on him. Until in the end, he finally looks back at his journey from the bottom, Sheva cannot help but smile and say, "Oh, well... It seems that this game is not as bad as I thought..."

MILF System: Spending Money On Mature Women For 100% Rebate!

Jaeho Han's father was his hero. A man built like Hercules who worked multiple jobs to give his kids the education he never had. But after the twins were born, the workload became too much. His father's health deteriorated silently, refusing help, hiding his condition even from his wife. He died when Jaeho was thirteen, leaving behind a grief-stricken mother who could barely look at her children without drowning in guilt. She lasted four years before she disappeared. At seventeen, Jaeho became the sole guardian of his five-year-old twin sisters, Jia and Serin. He worked multiple jobs like his father before him, scraping by on scholarship and sheer willpower. School became a nightmare—bullied for being poor, for being an orphan, for being a year older than everyone else due to his late admission due to making sure his sisters' education came first. But he endured it all without fighting back, because one wrong move meant losing everything. The debt piled up. ₩737,500,000. Over $500,000. Loan sharks circling. Bills suffocating him. He smiled for his sisters every day, but at night, he was drowning. One morning, desperate and broken, he helped a recently divorced woman at his laundromat job. She couldn't pay but promised to refund him once her banking app stops acting up, so he transferred his last ₩50,000 to help pay for whatever it was she wanted. Hopefully, it would return with a nice tip. A cyan screen appeared in his peripherals. [Ding!] [Cashback system activation requirement met!] [System binding in progress...!] [System successfully linked!] [Spent ₩50,000. 2X critical hit. Earned ₩100,000. The money has been transferred to account XXX-XXX-XXX] [Spent at least ₩50,000 on a lewd item for a MILF. Received 1 lottery ticket. Do you want to use it?] [YES][NO] "Wait, lewd item?" Jaeho questioned before looking at the woman with suspicion. For the first time in five years, Jaeho could breathe. But the system wasn't done with him yet. Every won he spent on mature, lonely women came back multiplied His father told him that as long as you keep moving forward, things will work out. Jaeho's about to find out just how far forward he can go. --------- Content Tags → Smut / R18+ → Harem, Comedy, Slice of life → System-Elements → Slightly towards Netori [Mc stealing and using others wife] → No Yuri → No Netorase / Yaoi / BL → System + Worldbuilding Driven

Kryptonian God Among Supernaturals

When Matthew comes to himself, he finds himself in his past self. As he contemplates the advantages of traveling back in time and how rich he'll become by copying future novels, songs, and business ventures, he realizes from the conversations of those around him that this world isn't his old one, and that instead of going back in time, he's transmigrated to another. A world where people have the opportunity to gain superpowers and devour devil fruits upon becoming adults. Matthew manages to obtain the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit from the Holly Land, where people gain their superpowers. However, after obtaining the Devil Fruit while he was observing others entering and exiting the Sacred Realm, he encountered a strange sight. Someone got Kryptonian Bloodline! "Why does everyone treat the Kryptonian Bloodline like a useless power? Oh, in this world, sunlight doesn't reach Earth. So, doesn't anyone know how the Kryptonian body is strengthened?" At that moment, Matthew makes a decision that will change the fate of the world he finds himself in. "Hey, can you exchange your Kryptonian Bloodline for my Flame Flame Fruit?" No one could understand why Mathew did that, but Matthew had a completely different thought. "So what if the sun's rays don't reach this world? I'm the only one who knows how to strengthen the Kryptonian body. As long as I know what I need, it won't be too hard to find. And then humanity will meet SUPERMAN." ---------- I do not own Superman or any of the other mentioned creations. This is a fanfiction. ---------- This is a translated story. Original Author: Ma La Liu Lian / 麻辣榴莲 Original Story Name: You don’t want god-level superpowers, so you choose the worst talent? / 神级异能你不要,你选最差天赋?
