Origin Mecha: Second Chance Protocol

FortuneInk
Betrayed and murdered for playing hero, programmer Lin Feng awakens in his 8-year-old body, thrust into an alternate Earth where soul-bound mechas are humanity's last stand against beasts and rival races in the infinite Land of Origin. Armed only with his coding genius, he has ten years to grind, awaken his "Logic Frame" mecha, and hack reality itself—building analysis protocols that predict battles, optimize teams, and turn underdogs into conquerors. From academy rivalries with prodigies like Zhao Wei, to forging the "Phoenix Vanguard" mercenary squad alongside healer Tang Yue and tank Chen Hao, Lin's rise is packed with VR showdowns, beast hunts for epic upgrades, family stakes with his pilot dad and sister Xiao Yue, and multiverse wars against genetic evolvers, mages, and demons. Tier up through energy cores, modular weapons, and chaos crystals in a world where brains outgun brawn. If you crave "The Legendary Mechanic"-style system-building and "Super Gene" progression with mecha mayhem, dive into "Origin Mecha: Second Chance Protocol"—where one man's code rewrites fate and carves humanity's empire.

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.
