Help! I Do Not Want to Guide a Disaster

“Everything is loud, Zhi’er,” Xinyuan murmured, voice low. “It’s only quiet when you touch me.” °° In his past life, Shen Ran was a hitman forced into the underworld by crushing debt after borrowing money to pay for his mother’s cancer treatment. Even after years of bloodshed, it wasn’t enough. She died anyway. On the night of his final job, just as he thought he would finally be free, Shen Ran was betrayed and shot in the head by his own boss. He expected death. Instead, he woke up in the body of Lin Wenzhi. A minor, forgettable character in a guideverse BL novel he had read the night before. A cannon fodder. A B-rank guide who appeared only three times and died the third. In this world, rifts tear open the sky, monsters pour through, and humanity survives through Espers and Guides. But the story doesn’t end in salvation. It ends in destruction. Because the male lead, a Disaster-Class Esper, eventually loses control and wipes out the entire universe. Knowing this, Shen Ran makes a simple decision. As Lin Wenzhi, he will stay out of the plot, avoid the main characters drama, and live quietly for as long as possible. Eat. Sleep. Work less. Survive. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. During a compatibility test, Lin Wenzhi is matched with the most dangerous Esper alive. Shao Xinyuan. Compatibility: 107%. The original protagonist’s compatibility? 97%. Which should have been enough. But Shao Xinyuan doesn’t care. He chooses Lin Wenzhi. Now, the cannon fodder who wanted nothing to do with the story is bound to the man destined to destroy it. And worse, Shao Xinyuan isn’t letting him go. ***** Cover created by KiXxX

Embers of Frost: From Biologist to Ice God

"Why is the Earth so different?" In the year 2085, the impossible happened: the Earth began to slow down until it stopped completely. Without an apparent reason, the planet drifted out of its orbit and began to wander through deep space. Neither the most brilliant scientists nor the most advanced AIs could find an answer as to why this was occurring. The Moon failed to follow Earth’s new path, as a result, massive tidal shifts swallowed entire continents, leaving only a fraction of humanity alive. The catastrophe deepened when, after three weeks of drifting, Earth collided with a mysterious, pitch-black planet. In the wake of the impact, more landmasses were shattered, leaving only portions of Asia and Africa intact. From the darkness of this black planet, strange entities emerged. Humanity dubbed them "Krukins", hostile, ink-black creatures that were extremely aggressive toward the survivors. Right before the Earth began its descent into chaos, a biologist was launched toward a planet near a black hole. This world, dubbed "New Earth" due to its striking similarities to our own. The biologist, Darian, was told that while ten years would pass for him on this new world, only fifty years would pass on Earth. But the calculations were wrong. It wasn’t fifty years that passed back home, it was five hundred. When Darian finally returns to Earth, he is not alone. On the alien planet, he found a small creature capable of fusing with him, granting him the power of ice. He returns five centuries late to find a world he no longer recognizes, a planet overrun by Krukins. Standing amidst the ruins of his home, Darian cannot believe his eyes.

The Vanguards: Queendom (Reverse World, Post-Apocalypse World)

RISE AGAINST THE HORRORS The collapse of the world did not come from a computer glitch during the Y2K scare but from an unknown interdimensional rift that unleashed a suffocating miasma and monstrous horrors upon Earth. This calamity killed half of the male population and granted most women the ability to wield [Mana], a mystical energy that elevated them above their powerless male counterparts, who were labeled as [Casters]. Yet even this gift proved insufficient to hold back the tide of horrors—until the arrival of the Radiant Empress. The Radiant Empress, a divine and mysterious savior, repelled the darkness and reshaped civilization. She gifted humanity the [Edentree], a beautiful crystal-like tree that wards off the Rift's terror, as well as the [Edenfruit], a fruit-like artifact that transformed women into [Sororitaes], powerful magical warriors of love and peace, who became the bulwark against the Rift’s terrors. By the year 2087, humanity survives within towering Ark-Cities, protected by the Empress and her daughters. Society, now ruled by a matriarchal Queendom, reveres the supersoldier Bellatrix and magical girls Sororitae as defenders while relegating men to a fragile and subordinate role. When it comes to the male-to-female ratio, it is left at 1:5, skewed yet manageable. Women became the majority while some men were relegated to minor roles. This balance is shattered when an anomaly appears: a young man who awakens unknown powers once thought impossible for his kind. Unlike Edenfruit’s blessing, his abilities are raw and disruptive, resonating beyond the established order. His existence threatens the foundation of the world, not just the horrors from beyond but also the Queendom. Will he be the herald of salvation or one of the world's latest horrors?

Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era

Due to the whims of a higher-dimensional being called "The One", the World of Terra ushered in a Monthly Apocalypse World Update Era. Every month, the World will draw a random monthly apocalypse world update theme, and the world will transform depending on what update theme has been drawn. Starting with a Zombie Apocalypse World theme, The World of Terra became infested with zombies! As a transmigrator, Zayne Voss, who thought he was living in a normal modern world, was caught up in this madness. Fortunately, he awakened the innate ???-rank talent, the Doomsday Life Simulator System! [The Doomsday Life Simulator System allows the host to simulate your future and life in a given doomsday scenario.] [For example, the simulator will randomly draw a doomsday scenario, and one of them might be a zombie apocalypse scenario. In that case, the host can experience life in a zombie apocalypse world.] [Of course, it's not limited to that, as there are also different kinds of doomsday scenarios like the Helios Extinction Event, where the sun explodes and humanity faces such a world-ending scenario.] [Not all doomsday scenarios are winnable and survivable, as some can be a dead end. However, your goal is not to win but to survive as long as possible and attain as many achievements as possible.] [The longer you survive and the more you accomplish within that doomsday scenario, the higher your score will be. The higher the score, the greater the rewards you'll receive.] [The rewards you can receive are mostly related to the power, skill, experiences, and talent that you possessed before the doomsday life simulation ended. They will be brought back to the real world so the host can gain power from doing life simulations.] -Ding! [The host can choose one doomsday scenario from four of the following:] [A. Helios Extinction Event] [B. AI Singularity Rebellion] [C. Global Ocean Survival] [D. Acid Rain Catastrophe] Drawing the doomsday scenario called "Global Ocean Survival," where everyone started with a wooden raft on a vast ocean, Zayne grinded in the doomsday simulation to become stronger in the real world! While everyone was still running away from zombies, Zayne had already eaten a Fairy Fruit from the Global Ocean Survival World and killed all the zombies around him! *** Good day, dear readers!
