The Emperor’s Throne: Best Gamer by Rodel M Casas

RodelMCasas
In the world of Throne of Eternity, a groundbreaking VRMMORPG, players rise and fall like kingdoms in history. At the very peak once stood Grimblade, a name that struck fear and awe in the esports scene. Known as the “Uncrowned Emperor”, his tactical brilliance and flawless combat style made him a living legend. But glory is fragile. At the height of his career, betrayal from his own guild stripped him of his throne. Contracts were torn, titles stolen, and Grimblade—the very player who built their empire—was cast aside as if he were nothing more than an outdated relic. Faded from the spotlight, with only an old gaming capsule and his undying passion left, Grimblade returns when a new expansion of Throne of Eternity launches. No sponsors. No team. No fanfare. Just skill, experience, and the burning desire to reclaim what was taken from him. Starting from scratch, he must navigate the brutal climb through ranked battles, recruit unlikely allies, and forge a guild from misfits and dreamers. Each fight pulls him deeper into the game’s politics, hidden conspiracies, and an esports industry where money and influence rule over fairness. But Grimblade doesn’t seek pity, nor fame. He seeks the one thing that has always been denied to him— The Emperor’s Throne.

Beauty and the Thief [BL]

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same.
